Chapter 376: Great Unification (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation!) )


Liang Xiao is self-aware, he has a certain amount of research on Han history, but he doesn't know anything about scriptures, and he hasn't even read the original scriptures.Therefore, Liang Xiao never dwelt on the details, and went straight to the key point of Dong Zhongshu at the beginning: Is the Spring and Autumn Festival transmitted by your Ram School the original text passed on by Confucius Is the righteousness you are talking about is the righteousness that Confucius wants to express According to the classification of scriptures, the Ram Spring and Autumn Period is the modern literary school.The so-called modern scriptures are the scriptures written silently through memory after the death of Qin, and the most typical is the Shangshu passed down by Fu Sheng.Fu Sheng was already over ninety years old when he passed on the book, and he spoke Qi language, and Chao Cuo and the others, who were sent to study, could not understand it at all, and could only be translated by Fu Sheng's daughter Xi Mo.In other words, there is a question mark whether the Shangshu passed down now is the Shangshu passed down by Fu Sheng, let alone whether it is the Shangshu passed down by Confucius.Later, the ancient texts came out, which were very different from the modern texts and books.Of course, at this time, ancient scriptures had not yet appeared, and the so-called scriptures were all modern scriptures, so there was no such name as modern scriptures.But when Liang Xiao and Sima Qian were chatting, they heard Sima Qian say something about the ram Spring and Autumn Sima Guo was very interested in the ram Chunqiu, and his concept of great unification came from the ram Chunqiu, knowing that the ram Chunqiu also had the problem of unknown inheritance.In other words, not only is the text of the Ram Spring and Autumn not really an ancient book, but its inheritance is also widely discussed, and there is no accepted theory.Liang Xiao asked Dong Zhongshu: How do you prove that your thoughts are Confucius's thoughts, not made up by yourself Without waiting for Dong Zhongshu to explain, Liang Xiao emphasized another sentence: evidence.It's useless for you to talk nonsense, you have to come up with evidence.Dong Zhongshu has no evidence.If you want to change someone else, such as a splash like Liang Xiao, you simply tear the dough, you don't care if I said it from Confucius.You just say it's right.It's a pity that Dong Zhongshu is not Liang Xiao, he can't do such a shameless thing.Confucianism respects teachers, lecturers inherit, and words have a history.Even if it is its own invention, it is due to the sages.Let him say that these theories were all come up by himself, and he couldn't kill Dong Zhongshu.In fact, this is not Dong Zhongshu's problem alone, but the habits of people in this era.For example, the classic Yellow Emperor Four Classics of the Yellow Old Way, and then all Chinese later.Regardless of whether you have read it or not, at least you have heard of the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, you have to trust the name of the ancients, so Liu An will say in Huainanzi: "Secular people respect the ancient and the present, so those who are Taoists must remember Shennong and the Yellow Emperor and then be able to say." ”But Liang Xiao doesn't care about this, he only grabs a little, you have to come up with defensible evidence to prove that your thoughts are really from Confucius as you say, not made up by yourself.There is no direct evidence.You also have to have logic that stands up to scrutiny, not plausibility.Dong Zhongshu was stunned by Liang Xiao all of a sudden.He has been studying for many years and has debated with countless people, and an opponent like Liang Xiao is definitely the first.The corners of his mouth were piled up with a pile of white foam, and Liang Xiao ignored all of them, with only one request: evidence.Dong Zhongshu can quote scriptures and classics, and he can speak in a subtle way, but there is no evidence.Without evidence, everything is in vain.Liang Xiao no longer talked nonsense with Dong Zhongshu, he got up and bowed to the Son of Heaven."

Your Majesty.The minister's knowledge is shallow, and he doesn't dare to say whether Dong Gong's knowledge is high, but he can't tell the origin of the things himself, and the minister thinks it's not worth talking about. ”The Son of Heaven was also a little confused.He was surprised that what he thought was a passionate collision of arguments turned out to be the winners and losers in this way.He looked at Dong Zhongshu, who was flushed and a little angry, and then looked at Liang Xiao, who looked disdainful, and suddenly regretted it.As Liang Xiao said, these two people are not related to each other at all.It's impossible to talk about going together.However, he still has to give Dong Zhongshu a little face."

According to what you say, great unification is also empty talk, and there is no preferable for heaven and man to induce and morality" Liang Xiao was silent for a moment.The reason why he opposed Dong Zhongshu was not because he had any prejudice against Dong Zhongshu himself, but because of these ideas he put forward.Great unification is right, national unification is naturally good, but after the great unification of the country, Dong Zhongchen attaches more importance to ideological unification, and ideological control originates from this; The induction of heaven and man is even more nonsense, the original intention of balancing the Son of Heaven is good, but he hopes for the ethereal heaven, and in the end it can only be out of control; As for morality, it is an empty word, which emperor meets the requirements of the inner and outer kings, can only wait for the stage, and arrange for Confucianism to boast and package for him.Liang Xiao couldn't say these words directly to the Son of Heaven, he thought about it and chuckled: "Your Majesty, the minister has never read any books, and he is a martial artist, so he only knows one thing: any truth, no matter how good it sounds, it is useless, and whether or not he can guide practice is the key."

Zhao Kuo is familiar with military books and talks about soldiers, but his father can't reach it.But on the battlefield, he buried 400,000 elites of the Zhao State.Your Majesty, this is how the army is governed, and the same is true of the country. ”"Nonsense.How can governing the country be compared with governing the army, on the battlefield to win by killing, is it that governing the country also depends on killing" The Son of Heaven sank his face and scolded: "Don't be unified, do you want the princes to fight for hegemony, and the world is in chaos" Liang Xiao felt a pang in his heart, realizing that he might have touched the thorn in the Greek federal system in the heart of the Son of Heaven.He rolled his eyes and smiled."

Your Majesty, the minister is not against unification.In some ways, the minister was even very much in favor of unification.However, the origin of the great unification of the minister may be somewhat different from that of Dong Gong. ”The Son of Heaven's face softened."

What's the difference" "Dong Gong advocates great unification, because he thinks that great unification is what the sage said.The minister thought that great unification was necessary for survival. ”Liang Xiao quickly organized his language, deliberately showing a bit of smugness, which seemed a little shallow."

The minister even felt that although the truth of the minister was made up by himself, it was more reliable than the fragments and simplifications."

The Son of Heaven couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw his smug appearance.When the laughter came out, he saw Dong Zhongshu's old face purple, and hurriedly said: "You talk carefully, and then ask Dong Gong to refute it, and let you see what real knowledge is." ”Liang Xiao didn't refute either, and said with a smile: "The minister knows a little about archery, so let's compare it with archery."

Ordinary shooters, only shrugging their shoulders, gritting their teeth, and opening a one-stone bow, are already red-faced, panting, and the bow cannot be stopped.Well, it's like Dong Gong is now. ”Everyone followed Liang Xiao's gaze and saw that Dong Zhongshu's face was flushed, and they couldn't help but laugh.The Son of Heaven forced a smile and scolded, "Speak well."

If you talk about archery, why bother with the elderly. ”"Only" Liang Xiao put away his smile and said seriously: "Such an archer looks like he can open a strong bow, but in fact, he only uses the strength of his shoulders and arms, and his feet are floating.After shooting a few arrows, I felt a sore shoulder and arm pain, which could not last.In their opinion, to shoot a three-stone bow, you have to be a wrestler.In fact, as long as the training is perfect, almost everyone can use the three-stone bow. ”"Yes," the Son of Heaven wondered.He was a master of shooting himself, but he struggled with his bow when he reached a stone.He had always been curious about how Liang Xiao had practiced such archery, but he was not too easy to ask.Now that Liang Xiao took the initiative to mention it, he was full of interest, and he couldn't even take care of Dong Zhongshu's emotions."

Yes.If you want to open the three-stone bow, you must use the strength of your whole body.The force starts from the feet, rises from the waist, travels to the shoulders and arms, and then to the fingers. ”Liang Xiao said, stood up, his legs were slightly separated like a horse's step, and demonstrated the posture of drawing the bow.This posture he has to practice hundreds of times a day, as natural as talking and drinking water, and it is demonstrated at this moment, although it is not deliberate, and there is no bow in his hand, but the power arises spontaneously.Intentionally or unintentionally, the weakly held bow in Liang Xiao's hand was aimed at Dong Zhongshu.Dong Zhongshu suddenly felt an inexplicable murderous aura, as if Liang Xiao drew a bow and arrow, and the next moment it would shoot through his Yin Tang, he couldn't help but exclaim, his body leaned back, as if to avoid, and his face also showed a look of horror.In the hall, everyone was listening to Liang Xiao speak, Liang Xiao didn't speak at this moment, the hall was silent, although Dong Zhongshu's exclamation was not loud, everyone heard it clearly, and even the horror in the voice was clear, and the look on his face was even more clearly seen by everyone.Liang Xiao smiled."

Dong Gong, it seems that your Haoran Qi has not yet been cultivated at home.Rest assured, I have no arrows in my hands. ”Dong Zhongshu also came back to his senses at this time, and was embarrassed by Liang Xiao's words.Liang Xiao ignored him, turned to the Son of Heaven and said: "Archery is done with hands, but power is born from feet, this is the power of great unification."

The same is true of the State.When the Warring States period, Yan, Zhao and Qin were all Huns, and they all suffered from the Huns.Qin unified the world, Meng Tian sent 300,000 troops, took Henan in a war, and chased the Xiongnu to Mobei.At the time of the pre-Qin period, the total strength of the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Qin was more than 300,000, and they could not be unanimous" Listening to Liang Xiao's admiration for unification, the Son of Heaven finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a relieved smile appeared in his eyes.In the essay, Liang Xiao is definitely not as good as what Dong Zhongshu said, and even a little vulgar, but what Liang Xiao said is simple and real.Dong Zhongshu's theory of unification is based on the ancients, and as Liang Xiao said, whether it was said by the ancients or not, no one can say for sure now, and it is inevitable that some people will stand up against Liu An in the future, such as Liu An.Liang Xiao's unified theory is based on facts, can withstand scrutiny, is not afraid of criticism, and has more confidence.The Son of Heaven admired Confucianism and liked the theory of great unification put forward by Dong Zhongshu, not really like Confucianism, but to find a theoretical basis for his own efforts.Now that Liang Xiao has given him this basis, why does he have to adopt Dong Zhongshu's theory to be honest, he can't really implement Confucianism and the royal way, what he wants to do is the overlord road.The Son of Heaven was secretly happy in his heart, but his face did not show a cent:
