Chapter 297 The Whereabouts of the Essential Art of Peace

For Confucians who are committed to rebuilding the order of rites and music, they naturally dislike Zhang Jiao's peasant army.

In the eyes of Confucianism, as a farmer, you just need to do your job honestly, and if you rise up to resist, you will destroy the ritual system!
In fact, not only Zhang Jiao, but Confucianism also didn't like Yuan Shao's actions very much, calling his way of governing the territory hegemonic rather than kingly.

The way of kingship is the way of the first kings, and it can also be understood as the way of the three generations of Yao, Shun and Yu. This is also the political template in the mind of Confucianism.

In the minds of Confucianism, abdication is the most ideal way of political transfer, and the birth of a monarch mainly depends on the will of God and the hearts of the people.

Even if "the son inherits the father's business", it must be recognized by the common people. From this point of view, Confucianism and ancient Greek philosophy have something in common.

In history, it was Confucianism who first proposed to limit the rights of kings. The so-called people are more important than the emperor, which was proposed under this kind of thinking.

As we all know, there were four major classes in ancient China, namely, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars. The scholars here are the class of scholar-bureaucrats.

After the Han Dynasty dominated Confucianism, scholar-bureaucrats could already be equated with Confucian scholars. From another perspective, the rise of the scholar-bureaucrat class, or the establishment of political status, was the result of the efforts of Confucianism as a whole.

It has almost become the ideal of all Confucian scholars, and it almost succeeded.

If the Song Dynasty can continue to develop for hundreds of years, the emperor may really be "empty" by Confucianism.

In ancient times, there were countless admonishers who were famous for scolding the emperor. No matter what their thoughts were, in the final analysis, the thinking of restricting imperial power was at work.

From this point of view, the political ideals of Confucianism are quite enlightened, but everything has both positive and negative sides. Confucianism’s respect for the way of the kings represents benevolent government, and the solidification of classes represents the ritual system.

This kind of thinking has influenced China for thousands of years, and various restrictions derived from it have emerged in an endless stream. What each class should do and how to do it is clearly stipulated.

"Diary of a Madman" written by Mr. Shuren revealed this cannibalism.

If it weren't for the appearance of a fierce man later, this system would continue to affect Huaxia.

For Lucheng, Confucianism and him also have irreconcilable contradictions. If it is Confucianism that has not been added by the system, Lucheng is willing to accept it.

After all, the ability is here, even if they want to restore the way of the former king, they don't have enough strength to support it.

But it is different now, and the current Confucianism is fully capable of realizing the kingly way.

It is an attempt to fully support Kong Rong this time. It is foreseeable that Qingzhou will form a three-legged situation in the future. One is Kong Rong with the support of Confucianism behind him, and the other is Yuan Shao and Wang Mang.

Wang Mang, in particular, is a huge unstable factor. As a pioneer of socialism, he is also the first strange person to nationalize land and prohibit land trading. It is still unclear how effective Wang Mang's new policy will be. Hard to say.

However, once the seeds of this "land reform" are planted, the class problem can be fundamentally resolved.

It will be difficult for future Confucians to restore ethics!
……

When Zhang Liao and his party started to head for Donglai County, Wu Anguo and Zhong You (Zilu) also rushed there first.

As direct participants in killing Zhang Jiao, the two had witnessed the power of the Taiping Essential Technique.

It is no exaggeration to say that after obtaining such treasures, any ordinary person can display the ability no less than that of a saint.

In particular, there were as many as 1 yellow turban warriors summoned by Zhang Jiao at the last moment. If it hadn't been for the Hou Sheng to behead them at great risk, the outcome would have been even more predictable.

An ordinary warlock can exert such power by relying on foreign objects, not to mention ordinary people, even the master was shocked when he heard about it.

So when Zhang Jiao was defeated and "flying away" in a ray of light under the important techniques of Taiping, the entire Confucianism began to take action.

From Beihai Kingdom to Dongnae County, the shadow of Confucian scholars can be seen.

This time, Zilu and Wu Anguo were in charge of the four counties to the north of Donglai County.

……

At this time, in Ye County.

A small group of scouts dressed as businessmen came here. According to the previous road map, the important technique of Taiping is in Ye County.

It's just that Ye County is very large, covering 1 square kilometers, and it is by no means easy to thoroughly investigate.

Faced with this situation, the eight scouts were directly divided into four groups.

Two people in each group were in charge of a position, and then with the help of the white eye skill, they quickly checked.

White Eyes can theoretically detect any degree of energy overflow, even if these scouts' White Eye skills are only a weakened version, there is no problem at all when they are used to search for the essentials of peace.

During this period, the scouts investigated countless suspicious points, some of which belonged to blood clusters emanating from the generals, and more of them were ghosts in the mountains and forests.

The strength of these spirits is very weak, and few of them exceed forty points. Most of them are evolved from some beasts that have absorbed the luck of the world, or they have opened up their intelligence.

The scouts are no strangers to this kind of spirit monsters. Now in Wuyang City, there are even shops selling such spirit monsters, and there are countless hunting missions.

Relying on their special skills, these scouts like to hunt and kill in the mountains and forests when they have nothing to do, and then take them to the shop to exchange for money.

These spirits are not only delicious, but long-term consumption can even strengthen the body, and are loved by some upper-class people.

If it was in normal times, after discovering so many spirits, they would definitely hunt and kill them, but now it has become their distress.

Even most of the time is wasted on this!
"This is not acceptable! There are too many spirits and monsters here. If you go to check them one by one, you won't even think about checking them out in a month!"

Looking at the hare lying on the ground at this time, Liu Zhi said with some distress, this hare is also a kind of spirit monster, compared with ordinary rabbits, this spirit monster is not only bigger in size, but also surprisingly powerful Big, if compared, is not weaker than a grown man.

Before coming, Zhang Liao had ordered them to investigate all possibilities, whether they were moving or stationary, they had to investigate clearly.

Although the Taiping Essential Art is a dead thing, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents, and it is also possible to be "obtained" by residents or wild beasts.

"If it doesn't work, don't worry about these moving energy groups. We can't afford to use the white eye skill on such a large scale, and the Confucianists have also entered here. There are so many of them. Once they discover it first, it will be a disaster. Already!"

Hearing Liu Zhi's complaint, another scout quickly echoed.

　The factory was busy a few days ago, coupled with illness, the update was not effective, starting tomorrow, the basic two shifts will resume.

　　In addition, in order to urge ourselves, we also make a condition for adding updates.

　　The most important thing is the monthly ticket. The current monthly ticket is [-], and every [-] tickets will be added, which will be valid for a long time.
