Chapter 29: Changing the Law to Strength

Legalists, is there really a so-called Legalist, that is, an organization that specializes in the study of law?

If there really is such an organization, then what are their masterpieces and what are the specific things they do?

What is Han Fei's position in this school, and is he really the founder of this school, and is he really a so-called Legalist master?

Since Han Fei is so powerful and has such a lofty status, what a significant role did he himself play in ending the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the era of more than 500 years of great turmoil, and the unification of the world?

If the answer to the above four questions is all yes, then of course, Han Fei is the founder of Legalism, of course, he is the person who stands proudly in the Legalism at that time, and of course he is a person who promotes the development of the times and returns the world to stability, and has a lofty status.

However, it is a pity that the answers to these four questions are actually all negative.

First of all, there has been a law since the day a nation was born, and no matter how simple, ridiculous, and barbaric the law was at that time, there has been such a thing as a law in the world since the first law was promulgated stipulating what people can and cannot do.

A hundred years before Han Fei was born, Li Kui, an important minister of Wei, had compiled a set of "Law Classics" according to the laws of various countries at that time, which is recognized by history, throughout the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for 500 years, the first very complete legal classic, therefore, if there is really a so-called legalist, then Li Kui, a veteran of Han Fei who is more than 100 years old, is obviously a more suitable candidate.

After Li Kui implemented the legal reform in Wei and made his motherland rich and strong, his dazzling achievements at that time were all seen by the wise men of all countries.

Thereupon...... , a ...... who was swept out of the house by Confucianism , so powerful that it makes people vomit blood, and its ability is so strong that it is outrageous, Wu Qi, the first strong minister of the Warring States, started his own legal power in Chu State, and finally achieved great results.

Wu Qi and Le Yi are both the most legendary ministers in the Warring States Period, but although Le Yi's ability is slightly worse than Wu Qi, it is just a little bit, not much worse, but his reputation is better than Wu Qi, and what he does is more brilliant, so Mr. Wolong, a few hundred years later, is just comparing himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, not Guan Zhong, Le Yi, and Wu Qi.

Le Yi and Wu Qi, what earth-shattering things did they do, this is not an exaggeration, it is a real earth-shattering power, it is a completely different question, in short, Wu Qi implemented the legal system in the Chu State, and finally achieved the same success.

Therefore, when the monarchs of various countries saw that the two countries before and after had relied on the improvement of the law, this matter was obviously very interesting, so each country began to promote its own legal reform.

That's right, the so-called change of law is actually just a more advanced reform on the basis of the laws originally formulated in one's own country, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of enriching one's country and strengthening its army.

It's not that before the law was changed, there was no law in one's own country, but ...... It is just a matter of changing the old laws that are out of date and formulating new laws that are more suitable for the development of the country, in short...... to reformulate the rules of the game.

However, how to distinguish which old laws are not suitable for the current development of the country, and how to formulate better new laws that are more suitable for the development of the country, it is necessary to find professionals with a long-term vision and at the same time proficient in the law.

In other words, changing the law is not a nonsense, it is not a hot brain, several ministers get together, and they can do it casually, and this matter must be done by professionals, or real capable ministers.

Therefore, of course, some of the changes in various countries have achieved certain results, while others have ...... , so he naturally made a disgraced face.

At this time, from the first country to succeed in changing the law to become strong, that is, the Wei State, there was a law idiot who didn't know how to evaluate it.

And this idiot who has studied law all his life and can even risk his life is of course the famous Shangjun!

It can be said without a trace of doubt that if there was no Shang Jun, a great genius in law, who helped Qin Xiaogong to preside over the reform of the law in the Qin State, then ...... , the history of China for more than two years must be rewritten!

Shang Jun's status in history must be so high, if he did not preside over the reform of the law, it was located in the land of Guanzhong, the culture was extremely backward, and the surrounding Qin State was extremely unstable...... , can sweep a fart of the sixth.

Eight rounds, it will not be the turn of the Qin State to dominate the world!

If you are not convinced, look at the series of military defeats suffered by the Qin State after the success of the law change, and the whole process of the two kings joining forces and directly sinking the Great Qin Dynasty, you may be able to see a little clearly, how passive the so-called impregnable Guanzhong is militarily.

"The Book of Shang Jun" is a book that after reading it, I really want to stab the author to death with a knife - a good book!

That's right, although I really want to stab Shang Jun to death, "Shang Jun's Book" is a good book, a good book that makes people understand a little bit after reading it, and the principle of changing the law.

The content in it, in today's view, is really very two beeps, it is no different from what a madman wrote, and it has no practical value at all, yes, not even a little practical value!

Some people regard this book as a treasure book for the rulers of the ancient emperors, alas...... , if Shang Jun survives, he will definitely be able to ...... , and was alive again.

After the six countries unified from the Qin Dynasty and leveled the whole world, the Book of Shang Jun can already withdraw from the stage of history, at most it only has a little reference function, it is just a book of the moment!

The content in "The Book of Shang Jun" is very weird, very annoying, and can even be said to be extremely cruel, but for the turtle Qin State, who started to change the law accurately, but wanted nothing at all...... This was the book of law change guidance that was most in line with the national conditions of the Qin State at that time, could help the country rise, and had strong practicability.

Anyway, there was nothing in the first place, and what do you want, the law will never come out, and even die out in the cruel Warring States Period, therefore, although I know that Shang Jun's changes are too cruel, and I also know that almost all the officials and people in the whole country are eager to skin Shang Jun alive, but for the rise of my own country, in order not to die out in the already cruel Warring States Period, I ...... , Qin Xiaogong was stunned to withstand the pressure of the whole country, and just gritted his teeth.

Shengsheng joined forces with Shang Jun to build a tattered Qin State like a turtle into a terrifying power that dominates the West!

It's a pity that when Qin Xiaogong died, Shang Jun, who had dedicated his life to law, no longer had a confidant, and he lost his only protective umbrella, and finally ...... , got a cruel end of a corpse split.

Shang Jun's cruel change of the Qin State was opposed by the whole country from the very beginning, whether it was the ministers or the common people, all of them deeply understood that the Qin State reform presided over by Shang Jun was really very cruel.

Whether it is in the Warring States Period, when information is very underdeveloped, or in the modern era when information is extremely developed, people can clearly distinguish what is beneficial to themselves and what is ...... , and it is not good for itself at all.

Therefore, has the reform of the Qin State presided over by Shang Jun really been completed, and has his book "Shang Jun's Book", which has been secretly collected and studied by emperors through the ages, have really been written?

With the tragic death of this peerless law idiot, of course, the answer will never be found.

However, after a few more years, the stupid kings of the Qin State who reacted suddenly found that the Shang monarch's changes were very good, so the Qin State changed the soup and did not change the medicine, and continued to launch a new round of changes...... , hey, it turned out to be the ancestral system of the Qin State.

As a result, the Great Qin Dynasty, which was strong with brutal changes and honestly adhered to the ancestral system, still implemented the cruel legal system, finally died secondly, which is really ...... , I deserve it.
