Mencius couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhuang Zhou appear again. He seemed very pleased, and he seemed to be gloating because he had a good show to watch. Because when people around him saw that Zhuang Zhou dared to stay, they all stared at him fiercely.
Zou Ji also frowned, feeling that these people were ignorant and should just leave as soon as there were stairs. Why did they stay? It's really like a toad jumping on the instep, not biting but responding to others.
King Qi couldn¡¯t help but beat the famous imported dog with a whip, just to vent his anger.
¡°Woof, woof, woof,¡± the dog was barking wildly, but the people around him didn¡¯t dare to speak.
"Your Majesty, the rabbit is ready." The minister knew that King Qi was still sulking, and thought that he would definitely find an opportunity to vent his anger later. Since these guys haven't left yet, there will definitely be a chance later.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As we rolled my eyes, he could think of a solution.
King Qi stopped and said unhappily: "Then let's get started."
"yes."
The dog chases the rabbit and the rabbit is released, and the dog chases after the rabbit quickly.
For a moment, it was really like running away from a rabbit. The rabbit disappeared with a swoosh. The dog also forgot to bark and chased the rabbit wholeheartedly. One gray and one white, one in front and one behind.
The rabbit walked in an arc, and when he saw that he was about to be overtaken, he stopped decisively and turned around. The dog had a high chassis and fell down accidentally when turning on all four legs, but even if he fell, he would get up quickly and continue to chase.
Whether it is a rabbit or a dog, they are all running like a horse.
Just when everyone¡¯s attention was gradually turning to the dog chasing the rabbit, Konomi began to take action.
"This guy wants to lure the dog to Zhuang Zhou." Zheng Dan said quietly to Yunyao.
Xia Ji chuckled and said: "He is smart, he knows how to vent his anger on King Qi. Sure enough, there are such guys in any era who flatter their superiors and bully their subordinates." Xia Ji has always been in the circle of monarchs and ministers, and has seen many bullying The same goes for the guys under her, even her husbands. One of her husbands also deceived the king for her. The situation at that time was that both the king and his ministers wanted to marry her, so the minister said that Xia Ji was unlucky and could not marry her. The king could only endure the pain, but he did not expect that the minister would take Xia Ji with him as soon as he turned around. He went to another country to get married, which made the king so angry that he was furious.
"Obviously such people are treacherous villains, but the monarch likes such people, even a monarch like Duke Huan of Qi cannot refuse. Until the monarch found out that he had been deceived by the villain, it was too late to regret." Xia Ji was surprised. No wonder, but I still don¡¯t understand why the monarch should trust the villain.
Yunyao knows the reason, because the monarch wants to achieve his own goals, but wise and famous ministers will definitely find various excuses to refuse or stop him. But the king can't always control himself, so finding a villain is the best choice. The biggest advantage of a villain is that he is shameless and courageous.
Of course, the villains who help the monarch naturally have their own ambitions. In the process of helping the monarch, they are also strengthening themselves, so when the monarch can no longer benefit them, they will not be polite to the monarch.
"Without villains, the monarch will have to fight against the ministers on his own. The monarch will definitely not be able to defeat him, so villains are the monarch's allies." Yunyao said.
"But why does the monarch make allies with the ministers? Only when the monarch and ministers are united can the country be strong, right?" Xishi objected after hearing this. She didn't understand why the villain would be the monarch's ally.
"It is an ideal state for the monarch and his ministers to be of one mind, but most of the time they are in confrontation. Just like when the King of Qi was about to deal with Zhuang Zhou, Zou Ji stood up to oppose it. Can this be considered to be of the same mind? But this close minister was bent on venting his anger on the king. It can be said that they are of the same mind." Yunyao said that what the monarchs and ministers of Qi State just performed was the normal situation in the court.
Whatever the king wants to do, the ministers cannot support unconditionally, but the villain will.
Xi Shi¡¯s eyes widened, obviously shocked by the weirdness of politics.
"No wonder Confucius said that rituals are broken and music is ruined. Even the most basic monarch and ministers cannot do it. Isn't it necessary to fight." Xi Shi couldn't help but sigh. Of course, she still didn't understand the key to the problem.
"The collapse of rites and music is bound to happen, because it was destined to be like this when Zhou Gongdan established the Zhou rites." Yunyao was going to make up for the two political novices, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan. Although their math scores had improved by leaps and bounds in the past hundred years, , but liberal arts lag behind.
"Why?" Even Nanzi was surprised, because they all lived in the Spring and Autumn Period, and they all thought Zhou Li was very remarkable. Why did they say that Zhou Li was doomed to collapse when it was formulated.
"It's very simple. The Duke of Zhou stipulated the status of the princes through Zhou Rites, but it did not restrict the development of the princes. Whether it is sacrifices or the dance of the eight dragons, they represent different identities, but these things do not guarantee the strength of the princes forever. It remains unchanged, the princes are developing, but the Emperor of Zhou cannot profit from the territory of the princes to strengthen himself. When the strength of the princes surpasses the emperor, then why do they??Should we observe Zhou etiquette? "Zhou Li asked everyone to join the Zhou people's enfeoffment, but this restriction was not strong. Therefore, when the Chu Kingdom became king early, the Emperor Zhou could not do anything. After that, the princes became bigger and bigger, and the eight divisions of the Emperor Zhou It has long been beyond its capabilities.
Although Zhou Li allows everyone to live under the same set of game rules, it cannot force the powerful princes to continue playing according to Zhou Li. Therefore, when the princes become stronger, they will overthrow the emperor, and when the great officials become stronger, they will overthrow the princes.
The four beauties were thoughtful, and Xi Shi thought of something keenly and said: "Then there needs to be a channel for the princes to transmit power to the emperor. Only in this way can the emperor be more powerful than the princes."
"Yes, that's the case, but the princes have been deeply rooted in a piece of land for generations and firmly grasp everything on this land. How can they be willing to transfer their power to the outside world?" Yunyao said.
"Reform." Xi Shi spit out two words.
Yes, Yun Yao couldn't help but look at Mencius for the reform. Mencius' meaning was just an ideology but no means of implementation. However, Wei Yang's reform in the Qin State promoted the system of prefectures and counties to replace the feudal system. It only had operational means but no ideology.
In this era, only the alliance between Mencius and Wei Yang had a chance to surpass the Mohists. Unfortunately, Mencius obviously did not agree with the bloody reforms. He still believed that benevolent government could be implemented gently through the Faxian King, and everyone could accept benevolence and righteousness gracefully.
In fact, Mencius also knew the problem. He said: The people are the most valuable, the country is second, and the king is the least. Therefore, the people of Qiu became the emperor, the emperor became the princes, and the princes became the officials. If the princes threaten the country, they will change their positions. After the sacrifice is completed, the rice is abundant and clean, and the ancestors are worshiped in time, but if there is a drought and water overflows, it will be replaced by the state.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Before the people have come before the emperor, before the emperor has come before the princes, and only after the princes can there be great officials. If the world is not peaceful, the princes must be replaced. If the livestock and sacrificial vessels are qualified and the time is timely when performing sacrifices, if droughts and floods still occur, then changes are required.
He also said that he would change the princes, and even said that he would change the country, but would the princes just sit there and wait for you to change? If you want to become a prince, the princes will definitely resist and there will definitely be blood.
Mencius did not want to shed blood. He hoped that by promoting benevolence and righteousness, everyone would imitate the ancient sages and spontaneously promote benevolent government. This would definitely not be possible.
Legalists dare to kill people. The limitation of Legalists is that there is no core value that is accepted by everyone in the world. Although the people of Qin accepted the inflexible law, the people of the other six countries would only think that it was torture and was specially enacted to deal with the people of the six countries, so they had to resist. Qin's law was not their law.
"If Qin Shihuang shouted that everyone is equal before Qin's law, then the people of the Six Kingdoms would definitely not resist, but it is a pity that he did not.
