Chapter 240 Han Fei in prison (3)
The ancient Chinese people had a view of the world but no view of the country. As early as the Xia Dynasty, talents from various countries had a tradition of free flow.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, hundreds of schools of thought contend, and they have a lot of debates with each other, but they still have some common cultural identity.
At the end of the Xia Dynasty, Yi Yin left Xia and entered Shang Dynasty. At the end of the Shang Dynasty, Lu Gongwang defected to the Western Zhou Dynasty. Although these two people did not have the status of saints like Yao, Shun and Yu in later generations, they were regarded as wise ministers and ministers who assisted the kings, and no one accused them of betraying their homeland.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the flow of talents between countries became more frequent. If you don’t stay here, you will stay at your own place. Many people are unknown in their own country, but after they arrive in other countries, they have done a grand career.
Many scholars did not mind entering other countries, but some dedicated their lives to their own countries with a simple view of the country. In the era of King Huai of Chu, if he wanted, he could learn from the witch ministers to join other countries, but Qu Yuan would rather jump into the Miluo River and die in the end.
Han Fei once studied in Lanling, Chu. The legend of Qu Yuan is naturally familiar with it. Perhaps he wanted to learn from Qu Yuan and was discouraged by the destruction of South Korea.
With a "bang", in the quiet night, the wick in the copper lamp exploded slightly, pulling back Meng Tian's thoughts.
Does Han Fei really care about Han Wangan's life? Or do he deliberately adopt an uncooperative attitude?
Meng Tian was a little confused.
"Dare you ask Han Zi how he views the demise of South Korea?"
Meng Tian felt that it was a bit bad for this kind of cold situation, so he always had to find some words to say.
"Han served Qin for more than 30 years. When he left, he was blocked and recommended. It was impossible to say that he was devoted to it. However, Qin still covets a county in Korea and raising troops to destroy it. How can it be convinced?"
Han Fei deeply regretted that he had been born a hundred years later. If he met Han Zhaohou, the wise king in South Korea, there would be no possibility of striving for strength. After Shang Yang's reforms in Qin State, South Korea lost consecutive battles, lost its troops and land, and there was no possibility of restoring its vitality.
"The country of Zheng is small and weak, and the people who serve the six ministers carefully will still perish in the hands of the Han family."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Meng Tian's face.
Zhang Liang stayed aside and seemed a little uncomfortable. On the way back to Xianyang, Meng Tian talked to him many times about the demise of South Korea, mocking the nobles of South Korea. When the fate of the demise of the country was on his turn, he began to complain.
After the Han family established the Kingdom, they immediately sent troops to attack Zheng State, which was clearly recorded in history books. During the Warring States Period, the capital of South Korea was originally the capital of Zheng State. The evidence was conclusive. Zhang Liang said it but didn't know how to refute it.
"After King Wu destroyed Shang, he enfeoffed the eight hundred princes in the world. Where did he go?"
Han Fei was well-educated, and Han Fei naturally knew the questions in Meng Tian’s mouth.
Since King Wu divided the princes of the world, the annexation between the various countries has not stopped, but from the late Spring and Autumn Period, the trend of annexation in the world has become more intense.
When the State of Chu was granted the title, it was a viscount, only fifty miles away. Later, the State of Chu, which was 5,000 miles in radius, all came for annexation.
Annexation may be a kind of harm to other countries, but for countries that actively merge, it represents an enterprising spirit.
The countries that entered the Warring States Period, took the initiative to annex other countries and achieved major victories successfully entered the Seven Warring States Period, while the failed countries became the on-the-trade food of the Seven Warring States Periods.
"In the Warring States Period, the winner will be the king, and General Meng can see clearly."
Han Fei lay on the couch, looking at the dark roof, without answering Meng Tian's questions directly. He devoted himself to the Legalist theory and agreed with the Legalist's domineering thoughts from the bottom of his heart.
Zheng State was ravaged by Jin and Chu for many years, and the country was exhausted. After the Han family established the country, they urgently wanted the territory of Zheng State, but Zheng State happened to be weak and could not withstand South Korea's attack. Speaking of which, Zheng State was still a Ji State.
Whenever he thinks of this, Han Fei feels very painful. Qin State conquered Han and annexed the world, which is in line with his theory, but when it comes to practice, Han Fei advocates the existence of Han, which is not a contradiction.
"Sima Fa said that if you destroy the country and love the people, you can destroy it. The Qin army attacked and destroyed the Han Dynasty without any offense. The Korean royal family was able to survive. Why did Han Zi always feel resentful?"
It is not without his reason that Li Si advocated the eradication of the royal family members of the princes. The six countries in Shandong have been established for hundreds of years, and the royal families of various countries still have a considerable call for the people. Once something happens in the world, these relatives will be carried out as flags and appear on stage.
During the turmoil at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the names of King Xin of Han, King Jiu of Wei, and King Tian Rong of Qi were often seen in various rebellious teams. These people were able to survive, thanks to the Qin people who did not liquidate them.
If Qin had really followed Li Si's proposal, eliminated these six royal families and cut the mess with a quick knife, it would have been less trouble. Meng Tian, who had been through the crime and had no intention of supporting Li Si, could not go against his heart.
"Han Zi was very clear when he saw it, and he should understand in his heart that with the current situation of Qin, the ideal of unity in the world will soon appear."
Meng Tian waved his hand and drew a big circle from north to south, from west to east: "Since the controversy of hundreds of schools of thought, the world has become one, which is the common dream of all schools of thought. Now it is about to be realized, but Han Zi was cut off from the world and the Qianshou in the world. Meng Tian secretly thought that Han Zi was like a Confucian scholar."
"Don't compare me with Confucian scholars."
Han Fei opened his eyes wide and glared at Meng Tian.
Han Fei looked down on Confucian scholars the most in his life, saying that they only knew how to shake their lips and tongues, but could not come up with a practical solution to the problem. When Mencius met with King Hui of Liang, King Hui of Liang humbly asked for advice to make the country stronger, but Mencius accused King Hui of Liang of seeking profit and not benevolent and righteous in his heart.
The benevolence and righteousness in his mouth can be said to the heavens, and can it prevent other countries from attacking and strengthening the army? When Han Fei wrote a book, he bluntly listed Confucian scholars as one of the five evil spirits. When Confucian scholars in the world saw the articles written by Han Fei, they naturally criticized him. Both sides disliked each other and regarded them as enemies.
"The Confucian scholars naturally cannot be compared with Han Zi."
Meng Tian smiled. Han Fei's personality is suitable for being a scholar, but it is really not suitable for politics.
Zhang Liang loved Huang-Lao's studies. When he saw Meng Tian belittling Confucian scholars in front of Han Fei, he did not refute. At this time, Confucianism had not yet gained ideological dominance, and only Qi and Lu were even more popular.
When the CPPCC meeting was held later, many veterans in the Kuomintang actively went north to participate in the construction of the government despite difficulties and obstacles. Han Fei devoted himself to the study of Legalism and integrated theories. Meng Tian did not believe that Han Fei did not participate in the idea of building a brand new country.
Thinking of this, Meng Tian took out the map in his arms and showed it to Han Fei: "Qin State goes out of Hangu in the east, and annexes the six countries. The six countries are gone, and Qin State has not changed! The country formed by the merger of the seven heroes is no longer a simple Qin State, but a brand new country. This new country is like a newborn baby. What kind of toddler should Han Zi accept? Don't he have any thoughts in his heart?"
