Han Fei knew that he would not be able to reform the law when he returned to China, so he would probably be able to write a book. Now he found Yunyao, hoping to ask some questions about how to restrain power.
"Just make laws." Yunyao's answer was exactly the same as Han Fei's original idea.
Xunzi believed that rituals and music can cultivate a gentleman, and then a gentleman can make the world peaceful by formulating rituals and music. But Han Feizi was not optimistic about gentlemen. After all, there are so many virtuous people nowadays, and there are not many gentlemen who can be cultivated according to the teacher's method. Therefore, legal regulations must be used and everyone must be forcibly restrained. No matter they are gentlemen or villains, they must abide by the law.
But there is also a problem, that is, the king is isolated from the law, so Han Feizi raised a question: "I originally thought that the law could restrain it, but Guanzi said, 'All countries have laws, but there is no law that must be implemented.' Law enforcement must rely on the king, and at the same time, the king is the one who uses the law. If the king is under the law, how can the king accept the law? If the king is above the law, how can the law restrain the king." This is a loophole in Legalism, and Legalism can fundamentally solve it. No, so the Legalists are basically the king¡¯s minions. However, Han Fei still has pursuits and wonders if this loophole can be solved.
Yunyao said that this loophole is indeed difficult to deal with. In fact, it is the same as what Mozi discussed back then, and it cannot restrain the royal power. The result of the discussion with Mozi that year was to use science and technology to restrain the royal power and master the weapons that threaten the royal power to suppress it. However, Legalism is not Mohism, so this problem cannot be solved by technology.
"You are right. The king needs to implement the law. The law must be beneficial to the king. But the law is not only beneficial to the king, but also beneficial to the nobles and officials. After all, the designation of the law cannot be completed by the king alone. It must be With the help of nobles and officials, the law is most beneficial to the king and nobles. So have you ever thought about involving the people when formulating the law?"
Han Fei was stunned, what kind of crazy talk is this? The people are illiterate, how can they make laws? But then I thought about it, if the people can participate in the process of making laws, then the king and the nobles cannot do whatever they want, and even the legal scholars cannot do whatever they want, then can the law still be established?
Just when Han Fei was helpless, Yunyao continued: "Do you know King Zhou Li?"
"The road leads to King Zhou Li, of course I know."
"Then do you know why King Zhou Li is so opposed to his subordinates expressing their opinions?"
"Because of King Li's patent, he tried to control the wealth of all vassal states." Han Fei said that these historical skills are basic skills.
The reason why King Zhou Li was so cruel and did not listen to the opinions of the people below, causing the Chinese to only dare to communicate with eyes on the road, was actually because King Zhou Li promoted the patent, so the opposition was too loud, but he still pushed it, which finally led to Chinese people rioted.
"What's the difference between King Li's patent and Guan Ziguan Shanhai?"
Faced with Yunyao's question, Han Fei said directly: "There is no essential difference, it's just that Guanzi succeeded and King Li failed." King Li's patent was actually an unsuccessful attempt by Guan Shanhai, and it ended in a disastrous failure.
"Then the same situation, why did King Li, who was the emperor, fail, but the prime minister of Qi was able to succeed? Is it because the prime minister has more power than the emperor?" Yun Yao asked the key.
Han Fei was stunned. According to his understanding of authority, the emperor's authority was naturally greater than that of Guan Zi. So it can only be said that King Zhou Li was unworthy and Guan Zi was virtuous. It was okay to answer like this before, but Han Fei felt that it would be too stupid to answer like this now.
After thinking about it, Han Fei said: "Because of the emperor's patent, the princes lost, so the whole world opposed it. Guan Ziguan Shanhai was only within the Qi State, so there were few opponents. Therefore, the greater the authority, the more constraints, and the smaller the authority, the greater the constraints. Less? So to restrict the king, we need to add obstacles and let the people participate in legislation, which will constrain the king's power?" It was all a rhetorical question, because although Han Fei had thought about it, he could not immediately agree with these conclusions.
"Prince Li, the world has failed. You have pointed out the key to the problem. The king is the enemy of the world, but the king is an indispensable representative of the noble officials. Because under the leadership of the king, everyone can work together, and Wang Qi takes the lead. Effect. But once the king only cares about his own interests, he becomes the enemy of the world."
Han Fei thought thoughtfully and said to himself: "When the king is for his own benefit, he will become everyone's enemy, and his authority will be restricted. Therefore, if you want to improve the restriction on authority, you must increase the king's power." The more people share the king's interests, the more the king will be controlled.
The idea gradually opened up. The law is actually a method of distribution. As long as the more people the law includes, the more people will share the king's interests, and the king will naturally be unhappy.
"The king is an enemy, and the king is also an ally. The more people who share the king's interests, the greater the king's authority and the greater the constraints." Han Fei suddenly figured it out:??In fact, there is no need to specifically think about restricting the royal power. As long as more people benefit from the laws, the royal power will be strengthened and at the same time, the power to restrict the royal power will be brewed. "
It suddenly dawned on me, giving me a sense of Taoist enlightenment.
Yunyao thought that was right, that¡¯s what it was like. In fact, it was using civil rights to restrain the royal power. It's just that what Yunyao said was rather mysterious, but Han Fei still understood it. The more people who support royal power, the more powerful it becomes, but at the same time, it also faces more restrictions.
Han Fei thought that this way he could return to China and write a book with peace of mind. However, the new theory still needed more time to digest. Han Fei felt that he needed to think carefully about the education he had received in the past few days. I have received so many new ideas these days that even a smart person like Han Fei would find it difficult to fully digest them.
"However, these ideas opened the door to a new world for him. Of course, if he really implements them, he will definitely die miserably. The king will kill him, and the noble officials will also kill him.
During the Song Dynasty, it was still "ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, not with the common people." At that time, Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty asked why the reform could not be implemented if it was beneficial to the people. Wen Yanbo answered the above sentence. It shows that only the king and noble officials are qualified to distribute profits, and the common people should not even think about it.
If Han Fei pushes the people to participate in legislation, then not only the royal power will be affected, but also the noble officials will be affected even more. They can kill Han Fei in minutes.
Yunyao didn't feel guilty, because Han Fei was going to die, so he should die after making a blockbuster success.
Soon Han Fei also left Qi and returned to South Korea to write books. Li Si, who went to Qin, also started his own counterattack. First, he recommended Lao Ai to help Lu Buwei solve the problem of Queen Mother Zhao. Then, by writing books, he solved the crisis of Lu Buwei's expansion of power and prevented Lu Buwei from being suspected of treason.
It¡¯s just that although Li Si helped Lu Buwei, Lu Buwei also saw that Li Si was very ambitious, so he didn¡¯t reuse Li Si. Instead, he assigned Li Si to the imperial guard and asked him to visit the palace gate. However, Li Si is really powerful. Through the relationship with fellow guards, he actually stood directly at the entrance of the main hall. He had the opportunity to contact the young Ying Zheng, and he was in front of Ying Zheng. He attracted the attention of the young Ying Zheng, and started his career as a granary administrator. The story of his promotion to the position of Prime Minister of the State of Qin.
Han Fei was not so lucky. Although the book was written, everyone who read it regarded it as a joke. Han Fei had no choice but to delete the part about civil rights, which made people give him a thumbs up. Sure enough, if you are half a step ahead, you are a genius, but if you are one step ahead, you are a madman.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Nowadays, all the people who read and write are princes and nobles. How can they see the civil rights? It makes me feel sick just to look at it. And the people don't know how to read, so they can't support it even if they want to. In the current environment, promoting civil rights is not as effective as the Mohist organs.
