Ps: Thank you to the devil Yang Jian brother for a monthly ticket, thank you for the starry sky's の月 brother for a monthly ticket, now upload a chapter first, and there will be another chapter at night!

"Your Majesty, you still need to pay more attention to rest."

Looking at Guo Jia's worried expression, Cao Cao waved his hand and said that it was okay, and after rubbing his eyebrows a few times, Cao Cao's expression suddenly became gloomy and said: "Fengxiao, Lone used to be neither happy nor bad for Confucianism, but today's matter of filial piety is to make Lone wake up, if Confucianism continues like this, then for my Han people, there will be all harm and no benefit." ”

In Cao Cao's view, the reason why China was backward was that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had closed off the country for nearly 300 years, coupled with the uninterrupted education of the foolish people, and vigorously suppressed a qiē emerging thing, suppressing a qiē and firearms-related things, which was the most important reason.

Although Confucianism was transformed beyond recognition during the Manchu Qing Dynasty because of the will of the Manchu elite, there is one thing that cannot be erased, that is, in the core idea of Confucianism, great unification is the most important, and it is precisely because of this that China can finally reunify after so many great divisions, instead of being completely divided into dozens of small countries like Europe.

China's unification over the past 5,000 years, in the final analysis, is actually the seed of great unification that Confucianism is rooted in everyone's heart, and it is precisely for this reason that every emperor in China who is in troubled times has an idea in their hearts, that is, to unify the world, because only a unified world is China, which is the result of Confucian education or subtle for thousands of years.

And Confucianism has another loyal thought, monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons. The monarch and his ministers had to die, which seemed to be incredible and backward in later generations.

However, if the legal system is not perfect, the ruling power of the government will not be the same as that of future generations. When the various advanced instruments of the tong guò were thoroughly implemented at the lowest level, the self-control of the local officials undoubtedly became the most important.

It is undeniable that it is precisely because of the Confucian idea of loyalty to the monarch that can make the huge ancient China in chaos in the world. Outside of the period of collapse of the order, there was no division and scuffle of lords as in Europe.

China's 300-year reincarnation has caused some people in later generations to criticize the backwardness of Confucianism and Chinese culture, but when they criticize Confucianism, they did not expect that compared with China's 300-year reincarnation, hundreds of millions or even billions of people in the three states of Asia, Africa and the United States were brutally colonized. Before entering the new century, Europe was in the annual cycle of reincarnation, the Great Northern War, the Seven Years' War, the Thirty Years' War, and so on.

However, there must not only be a good side to one thing, and Confucianism maintains China's unity and ensures that China will not be divided all the time. It is undoubtedly worthy of recognition, but in the same way, another idea propagated by Confucianism is enough to disgust Cao Cao.

That's benevolence. In Confucian propaganda, the emperor ruled the world with benevolence, and in the face of barbarians from all directions, he should also govern with benevolence rather than military might, and for prisoners of war, he should also imagine with benevolence. It is absolutely impossible to kill prisoners indiscriminately.

The last one, is it a little familiar, yes, the actions of the so-called civilized people that Europeans have always been proud of, the so-called human rights, as early as thousands of years ago Confucianism, as for other agreements, treaties, envoys, etc., in China's Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, can be found, Zonghengjia, Mojia, soldiers, etc., enough to fan Europeans do not even know their own mothers.

Some of these Confucian ideas cannot be said to be completely wrong, at least the last one cannot be indiscriminately killed prisoners, if it is changed in later generations, it is absolutely correct and true, but in the present more than 1,800 years ago, it will be of a different nature.

In such an era, in such an era when various nationalities are fighting each other, fighting for territory and property, and fighting endlessly, to be merciful to the enemy army is precisely to be cruel to oneself!

Just as the success of the idea of unification and the idea of not killing prisoners indiscriminately are also very successful in propaganda, at least the reason why Cao Ren opposes it today is not because he is afraid that the people of the world will criticize him, and Cao Cao's reputation will be damaged, and why is it criticized because Cao Cao killed the prisoners without permission.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's face became even more gloomy, not only because he did not expect the impact of Confucianism on society, but also because Cao Cao found that he didn't know how to deal with the behemoth of Confucianism.

Revoke it, not to mention the opposition of the people of the world, even if Cao Cao relied on his prestige and military power in his hands to forcefully cancel Confucianism, but what should be used to replace the dominance of Confucianism, but it will not return to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao sneered disdainfully, a hundred schools of thought contended, it seems to be very good, very advanced, after all, the collision of hundreds of schools of thought and culture, just by sounding very advanced, but Cao Cao knows that if he really does this, then the world will be absolutely chaotic.

It is undeniable that the cultural sparks brought by the contention of a hundred schools of thought are more and more brilliant than those of one, but at the same time, the cultural sparks brought by the contention of a hundred schools of thought represent a different cultural collision.

And this just gives all kinds of careerists the capital to use, and at the same time, the principals of the hundred schools are also likely to invest in those careerists to achieve the spread of their own ideas.

Just as during the Warring States Period, the Legalists invested in the Qin State and the Confucianists invested in the Qi State, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period had hundreds of years of strife and war, not only because the countries did not have the power to suppress the world, but also because of the reason why hundreds of schools of thought were in trouble.

And when he chose the Legalist of the Qin State, Cao Cao gave up without thinking about it, the advancement of the Legalist is undoubted, but at the same time, the uncertainty and destruction brought by the use of the Legalist alone are also very terrible.

Legalism's Zhongxing thought, that is, human nature is inherently evil, no matter who makes the mistake, what does it matter, whether it is innocent or not, whether it is because of other reasons, for Legalism, as long as you make a mistake, then there is nothing to say, according to the law, exile is exile, execution is execution, there is no trace of affection to talk about.

Obviously, such a ruthless and violent Legalist is definitely not suitable for China, a country that pays attention to feelings and human feelings, and the rapid demise of the Qin Dynasty is due to many reasons.

In Cao Cao's heart, the more important thing is the Legalists, the laws of the Qin Dynasty are actually not very strict, most of them are no different from the laws of later generations, the reason why the world is in turmoil, and later generations think that the laws of the Qin Dynasty are strict, in addition to the death of Qin Shi Huang, the ambitions of the nobles of the six countries are inflated, and the second Hu of Qin II is wrong, but the more important thing is that the laws of the Qin Dynasty have no humanity at all.
