Chapter 261: Taoism, Jurisprudence, and the Son of Heaven (3)

The scholars on the other side were not very good at understanding some things in their mouths, such as the eight optical methods, the reason why force and objects are shaking, and specimen lever pulleys.

But I still understand the meaning of the right thing.

He thought about it for a while and felt that the right thing was to be quibbling and did not answer his question at all.

His problem is politics, not natural law.

If these two problems are combined and unique, then there is a big problem.

The scholar asked, "Since the Mohist school follows nature and uses the theory of nature, the land belongs to the people of the world. Wouldn't it be said that if I say this land is mine, I can take it?"

Shi was already tired, and thought to myself that you sent someone to be a lobbyist. Can you first read the books of the Mo family in the past few years? Even if you don’t read them, you just rely on speculation, so you feel that everything has been overturned?

The Mohist school has been struggling in Si for 30 years, but this legal issue has not been resolved. Do you dare to represent the interests of the emerging bourgeoisie?

By following nature, we only want to destroy the feudal legal system, including feudal system, fiefdom system, patriarchal system, feudal rights, personal dependence, etc. The use of the concept of following nature to destroy the legal basis of the king's land, but it is not to use nature to govern.

If the old one is broken and new one is built, some other branches of Taoism are to return to the natural world of Taoism, which is a deviation.

By nature, we are to break down the old ones, to disintegrate the feudal system, and to give the people a legal reason to seize the land of the nobles. Otherwise, seizing the land would be a crime and a thief - the land of the nobles, why should you common people want it?

After it is broken, concepts such as private property need to be used to make the rich richer and poorer, relying on the surrounding technological advantages and pressure relief of surrounding land, completing the original accumulation, providing cheap labor, and completing the steam revolution within a three hundred years cycle. Now it seems that there is no problem.

At this time, another principle of labor creating wealth is needed to explain the rationality of land private ownership and commodity society.

After thirty years of enlightenment, a relatively complete system has been formed on Si Shang, a semi-finished product that can challenge the feudal system. This is the legal basis for everything.

From the initial labor to create wealth, the theory of worms; to the convergence of the ink way, the transformation of the ink way, the transformation of all things into a natural way, the eternal etiquette and eternal law; to subjective self-interest and objective altruism to explain the gap between the rich and the poor; to the means of conforming to the new law under the new morality to become rich is to respect the heaven and respect ghosts... This whole set of theories spans thirty years and has been formed, and cannot be criticized by the elites of the old era.

At most, they sing pastoral elegies from the past, as if they were standing from the perspective of landless farmers and hired workers to sing the sins and ugliness under the new rules, but their purpose was not to landless farmers and hired workers, but just to go back to the past.

The debate about this is ultimately the same as expected. Both sides are talking about the same chicken and duck. There is a completely different foundation of the three views, and it is impossible to make an effective debate. When Mo Zi talked about the defense in the past, he talked about this issue. The basis for the two people to argue has a common cognitive basis. You say it is black and I say it is white, so there is no way to argue.

The debate stopped halfway through this question, and the scholar asked again: "Shizi said that he would choose the emperor, but he didn't know what Shizi meant? "

Shi asked retortly, the scholar said: "The title of heaven and earth can be divided into two."

"There are people who have the title of heaven, and some have the title of heaven. Benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, and tireless, this is the title of heaven. The ministers and officials are the title of heaven. In ancient times, people cultivated their title of heaven, and people followed it."

"The emperor is the most sincere person to cultivate the heavenly title and the example of heavenly virtue."

"Now people cultivate their heavenly titles to seek the titles."

"Many people cultivate benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and trustworthiness, which is to cultivate the heavenly title. The heavenly title is eternal, which is to repay heaven, and people cultivate the heavenly title for human titles in order to seek profit, which is to go astray."

"There is chaos today because people do not practice the heavenly title, but are all practicing the human title."

"If there is no benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and trustworthiness in the world, the world will be in chaos. Even if the Mohist school rebelled against the etiquette and thought that morality would not last long, the Mohist school also talked about benevolence and righteousness. The Mohist school had the benevolence and righteousness of the Mohist school and the loyalty and trustworthiness of the Mohist school, which also required someone to set an example for the world."

"This example is the emperor."

"The Mo family said that choosing the emperor was to choose a wise man. In fact, the Mo family chose prime ministers, such as Duke Zhou and Yi Yin. They are all wise men and can be prime ministers."

"For example, Guan Zhong, who is extravagant and promiscuous, but has talent, cannot become the emperor because the emperor wants to cultivate the heavenly title and set an example of the world's morality. This is the emperor's legal principle."

"Sages can rule the world, but they may not be moral examples."

"Besides, the people are short-sighted and ignorant, how can they know which ones are beneficial to the world and which ones are harmful to the world?"

"So, if the people were asked to elect the emperor, they would definitely choose the emperor who sets the moral example, but they might not be the wise man who governs the world."

"Since this is the case, if I am still alive today, why not keep the emperor and choose a virtuous minister to govern the world? The emperor only needs to set an example for the four seasons and govern with a down-to-earth rule. Regardless of political affairs, there is no need to be elected, so as not to deceive the people of the world with false virtues."

"Just like the Song Dynasty in the past, Song Gong was a void and the Great Prime Minister was a real person. In this way, the emperor would cultivate the title of heaven and the virtuous minister to govern the government of others, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Only when you say this is the end of the picture.

At first, we first talked about the synonyms of the Mohist family, which may lead to the division of the Mohist family, and then said that choosing the emperor may lead to the selection of some moral role models. Since this is the case, it is better to let the emperor be hereditary king and elect a virtuous minister.

Shi sneered, thinking that the idea of ​​Xiu Tianjue was really too strong.

The cultivation of the Heavenly Lord is invisible and intangible. Instead, I want everyone in the world to cultivate the Heavenly Lord, that is, to abide by these morals guided by the divine powers.

But the Mohist school emphasizes that righteousness is profit. If you cultivate heavenly virtues without profit, who will practice it?

Besides, such divine power has not solved the ultimate concern. How many people will cultivate heavenly virtue be of use? There is neither heaven nor the next life. How many people will cultivate heavenly virtue?

We can’t create another religion with heaven or the next life for this Tiande Tianjue system, right?

The supreme person who cultivates the virtue of heaven is to be the emperor, but the emperor is still hereditary. What are ordinary people doing to cultivate virtue of heaven?

At most, it is moral education. It is said that you are the ultimate truth when you practice the heavenly title, but you practice the heavenly title for the human title, which is contrary to the essence. Therefore, you have to educate people to give up their ambitions and instead practice the heavenly title for the sake of cultivating the heavenly title. As for why you need to practice the heavenly title, it is because this is the ultimate truth, just like a person who wants to adopt his parents, does not need the truth.

After sneering, Shi asked back, "As you said, you don't need to choose this emperor, just let the emperor of Zhou be hereditary?"

"How can the Emperor of Zhou dare to be called a heavenly master? If he truly practiced the heavenly master, or if this heavenly master was truly an eternal truth, then why can't he even get a teacher?"

The scholar said, "Since the Mohist school said that justice and profit are unified, then I will talk about the benefits of this matter from the benefits of the world."

"If it is not decided today, even if Han and Qi are defeated, there will be Zhao, Wei, Zhongshan, Qin and Yan countries."

"In the past, Qi Huan respected the king and expelled the barbarians, and the world was at peace. Now, although the son is not as good as the time of the past and the princes are rude, there are still many people in the world who believe in the laws of the emperor."

"If the Mo family forces the emperor to work hard or expel the emperor, they will inevitably be opposed by some people in the world and will not be in harmony with the Mo family."

"At that time, the world will fight and kill and injured the people. Isn't this harmful to the world? So we should compromise and not be too radical, so that it will be beneficial to the world."

"If the Mo family worships the emperor and becomes the prime minister, then the Mo family has the principle of the emperor, so that Zhao and Qin can be determined to convince the scholars and not rebel too violently."

Shi laughed loudly and said, "What is Ji Xi? He couldn't even get out the troops of a division, but he thought the princes really respected him as the emperor? He said he would let Qin Zhao stop, so Qin Zhao stop?"

The laughter was wild, and the words were often disrespectful to the Emperor of Zhou, and he called him his name. However, the scholar was not the kind of upright person who was humiliating his ministers and died. Instead, he wanted to truly consider the long-term for the emperor, so he said: "The princes do not recognize the emperor for more than a hundred years. But the Mo family can suppress the princes."

"With the emperor's righteousness and the Mo family's troops in hand, why worry about the princes not accepting it? Moreover, what is important is that those loyal people will not resist under the Mo family's rule, given the emperor."

Shi shook his finger and said, "First of all, the loyal emperor in the world. I heard that the emperor would be incompatible with the power of the tyrants. There were not many scholars who were incompatible with the emperor when they were humiliated. Back then, the Si Shang Theater used the emperor's rituals and music to entertain the people. Some scholars once shouted that they were incompatible with the tyrants. Si Shang sent guns and money to kill the Tian family who insulted the etiquette and law first, and killed the whole family of Han, Zhao and Wei. It took a long time, but only seven or eight people."

"Secondly, Si Shang has its own education, morality, education, and knowledge. Those scholars who refuse to accept new things are useless in governing the country and fighting are not enough. What is the purpose of it? If they resist, they will be sentenced to various imprisonment or shooting according to the law. The world is vast and powerful, and those who follow it will prosper and rebel against it will perish. The scholars who can see the general trend have long devoted themselves to Si Shang, and the worst is to let the concubine's son come to Si Shang, and the legitimate son inherits the title to speculate. Why should I care about those mantis who stand in the road and think they can block the chariot?"

"If the so-called emperor went to war this time, from Qin to Qi, from Yan, tens of thousands of scholars gathered to respond, brought their own dry food, and fought to the death, then it might be said that they compromised for the benefit of the world. Now it seems that the so-called emperor's army has only three thousand soldiers and only two hundred soldiers. The heart of a mere 200 soldiers is not enough to say that it is beneficial to the world."
