Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1388 Inner Sage Outer King
"The way of the great way is also that the world is the public, select the virtuous and capable, and trust and cultivate harmony. Therefore, people do not only kiss their relatives, nor only sons and sons; so that the old will die, the strong will be used, the young will be strong, widowed, widowed, Those who are lonely, alone, disabled, and sick all have something to support them...that is called Great Harmony."

This is the ideal society that everyone yearns for, so it can only be an ideal.

Legalists put forward the theory of law, technique, and power, which is actually a political theory that emphasizes the ability and efficiency of national governance. "Law" and "skills" are important means to maintain "potential". Severe punishments and laws are the embodiment of the monarch's ability to govern and the guarantee of the effectiveness of the monarch's governance of the country.

"Position" refers to the power, power, and prestige of the monarch. The Legalists especially emphasized the function of "potential", emphasizing that "potential" is the embodiment of the monarch's governance ability and the guarantee of the efficiency of national governance.

Legalists' governance theory is based on natural human nature, and believes that human nature seeks benefits and avoids harm, and its actions are all out of interests, while interpersonal relationships are also an exchange of interests, and heavy rewards and heavy punishments are based on people's nature of seeking profits, thus To achieve the ultimate goal of world governance.

It can be said that on the road of moral cultivation and the pursuit of the supreme great harmony, Confucianism is blessed and unshakable, so it has been sought after by the emperors of all dynasties.In terms of state governance, however, the Legalists have incomparable advantages.

"Wang Dao" and "Hegemony" are different governance models of Confucianism and Legalism. The ideal politics of Confucianism takes benevolence, justice and morality as the ruling principle and purpose, which is the "Wang Dao"; The purpose is "overbearing".

However, history has proved that the goal of long-term peace and stability cannot be achieved only with "kingdom" or "hegemony". "Wang Dao" emphasizes morality and cares about public opinion; "Hegemony" emphasizes merit and cares about power and position.But both are beneficial to state governance. Therefore, since the Han Dynasty, a governance system of Confucianism, law, complementarity, and kingship has been formed. model.

Confucianism is "righteousness" and Legalism is "benefit", so righteousness and benefit are both inseparable.

This is the essence of "inner sage and outer king"!
To a certain extent, Confucianism is not as conservative as it seems, and is extremely open and inclusive.It is aware of its own shortcomings, and immediately absorbs and supplements them. The so-called Legalism is just a title now, and it has long been absorbed by Confucianism and merged into one.

Then, will Confucianism realize its own shortcomings in professional knowledge, so as to absorb natural science?

No one knows, and no one can decide.

No matter whether it is Kong Yingda or Yan Shigu, none of these great Confucianists can represent Confucianism to make a decision whether it is OK or not. It will take time to test. If it is beneficial to Confucianism, no one can oppose it. If there is a conflict of interests, then it is useless to say yes, it will naturally reject...

So Yu Ming could not give His Majesty Li Er an answer.

Of course, in fact, His Majesty Li Er didn't care too much about whether it was Confucianism or Legalism, or even Yin-Yang School, Strategist, Military, and Physician who dominated the society. He only looked at whether the propositions of these schools were in the interests of the emperor and beneficial to his rule.

Confucianism is the foundation for emperors to govern the world, so Confucianism has always been dominant.

If there is any school that can replace Confucianism to help the emperor govern the world and maintain the rule, the emperor will never mind what the name of this school is called.

His Majesty Li Er felt that Taoism could help him live forever, so he supported Taoism and believed in Taoism.After his son ascended the throne, he discovered that the techniques of alchemy and ascension were all deceitful, so he kicked the Taoists far away. This is the reason.

If Taoism can really make the emperors believe in God like the West believes that one day they will become immortals and saints, then look where there is Confucianism?
needs determine status.

For example, now, His Majesty Li Er feels that the establishment of the academy can train a large number of talents with professional knowledge to fill the world, help him complete the great cause of the Zhenguan prosperous age, and complete the grand hegemony of the Tang Dynasty that dominates the world for thousands of years, so he He agreed with Fang Jun to set up this academy.

On the contrary, he must be the first to kill Fang Jun's idea, even at the expense of Fang Jun!

Compared with the great cause of the empire, personal feelings are nothing!Not to mention Fang Jun, even if it is his own son, he can still kill him!

So since Fang Jun can think of showing Confucianism the attitude of attaching natural science to Confucianism through the Yuming family, then His Majesty Li Er will let nature take its course and wait and see the changes.

*****
It is the norm in official circles to praise the red and trample the black.

Although the Dou family are relatives of the emperor, Empress Taimu has long passed away, and the Dou family has never had any outstanding children who can lead the family, so it is inevitable to fall down.Although His Majesty Li Ernian took good care of the Dou family in terms of his mother's affection, but compared with the Fang family who were in the limelight, how much lower was it?
One is the setting sun and the other is rising slowly. It is clear at a glance which one is better and which is worse.

Therefore, even if the Dou family held a funeral, all the officials in the city rushed to express their condolences. People feel a huge gap...

Fangfu is located in Chongrenfang, close to the east side of the imperial city. Because it is close to the palace, there are many bureaucratic mansions. Shengye and Yongxing are the places where princes, nobles, princesses and princes gather. It is extremely prosperous, and after the curfew at night, the mansions of these princes and princes will be full of music and songs all night long. The so-called "one street converges, and then two cities are poured, there is noise day and night, and the lights are endless. There is no comparison among the squares in Beijing", Probably so.

In the early morning of the auspicious day, just as the sun was rising, there were crowds of horse-drawn carriages rattling along Chongrenfang Street, and the people who came to Fangfu for the wedding banquet had already arrived early.

Fang Jun stood at the door to greet guests early in the morning, smiling like a silly roe deer until his face froze. With his physical fitness, his legs were still fighting, but he still had to accompany his smiling face. say hi.

The more flowers are blooming and the fire is cooking oil like this, the more you can't be rude.

In my heart, I scolded the elder brother who was lazy and hid in the main hall to entertain guests, and just greeted a general of Zuo Wuwei with a smile on his face, when he heard a respectful voice behind him: "Luo Luyuan in Xiawuzhou, I have seen you. Erlang."

Fang Jun turned around quickly, and saw a man in his thirties, with a handsome appearance and a tall and straight figure, with thin cheeks and bright eyes, he hurriedly raised his hand and said rudely: "It turned out that Brother Luo was in front of you... Sorry, I am really dizzy today I really can't remember Brother Luo's name, forgive me, forgive me."

That Luo Luyuan himself is a scholar with underappreciated talents. He is really an ant-like figure in front of the prime minister's door. Of course, Fang Jun doesn't know him.However, if it were someone else, they would have to say the last sentence "Long Admire, Long Admire" in different ways, never thought that this "notorious" Fang Erlang would be so direct, and his eyes were clear and full of apology, without any slightest contempt Contemptuous attitude.

If you don't know, you don't know, be open and frank.

Luo Luyuan suddenly fell in love with him, and he thought that being famous is not as good as meeting him, if he is really as flamboyant as the rumors in the market, how could he be so favored by His Majesty?

Immediately smiled and returned the courtesy and said: "Erlang is really straightforward. I am from Wuzhou. This time I went to Beijing to take the exam. I was lucky enough to be recommended by the house minister as the magistrate of Bochang County in Shandong. Today I am here to celebrate Erlang's happy birthday. I am here to thank Prime Minister Fang and say goodbye, and I will be taking up my post soon."

Fang Jun had never heard of this name before, but he didn't show any contempt, just because he said: "Brother Luo's kindness, my younger brother has the audacity to accept it. It's just that there are too many guests today, and my father may not have time to meet him, so I want to disappoint Brother Luo." gone."

Today's Fangfu wedding banquet, there are countless dignitaries, dignitaries, princes, princes, princes and ministers present, which of them would not allow Fang Xuanling to entertain them in person?It was impossible to find time to meet such a small official.

Luo Luyuan was quite cheerful, and laughed: "The Prime Minister recommends me, so how can I covet my gratitude? It is enough for me to come to the mansion with my heart and a clear heart."

He is a free and easy person!
Fang Jun was about to speak when suddenly he saw a child's head protruding from behind Luo Luyuan, blinking two big black and white eyes, staring at Fang Jun and asked sharply: "I heard that the Fang family's school has teaching without discrimination, I don't know what Erlang can do?" Will you let me in?"

This child is handsome and cute, especially the shrewd spirit, which makes people fall in love with him when they see him. Fang Jun guessed that this child might be Luo Luyuan's nephew, so he asked with a smile, "What's your name? My father." I am about to travel far, but why do you want to study in my family's school?"

The child's expression darkened, and he said: "Father said that Bochang is a place of bitter cold, lest I die here, so he wants to keep me in Beijing... Oh, my name is King Luo Bin."

Fang Jun nodded, just about to say a good name, suddenly his eyes widened, and he stared straight at the child: "Goose..."

　Whether it is "uh" or "goose", no one can tell... Hehe.
