The King of the Warring States Era - C60
He continued to praise the role of the Clerist and spoke without thinking, “A hundred clans, most of them are unreal, those who have experienced the world’s use are few, in order to rule over the strong soldiers of a country, one must be a Clerist, king of a kingdom, domineering are not enough to make a nation stand out from the rest. If the Wei Nation is strong, then the method of change is fundamental.”
His words caused many to ponder, especially those scholars of the Wei Empire. They wanted to develop their career in the country, who would not want to become a general and become the country’s pillar of talent, bringing glory to their ancestors and spreading their name throughout the world?
Even though this person’s words were luxurious and forbidden, they were big and untrue. For many people, listening to Confucianism govern their country was the same as listening to a teacher reciting a lesson; it was too dogmatic.
His words, no doubt, caused many of the scholars present to sink into shock and reflection. This sentence could be said as breaking through the clouds, giving the people of the world a way to rethink the ways of governing the country. Before, everyone thought that the legal profession was lacking as well, but they had never thought of it this way.
Of course, because Chen Ling knew from the textbooks that the rise and fall of Qin Nation was closely related to the Dharma Clan.
This was not the fault of the Legalists, but the fault lay in the fact that, in this historical period, it was very easy for things to develop at an extreme level under the authority of the monarchs. If one were to think about it, an unconscious monarch on the throne could be easily influenced by a deceitful official, using the cruelty of the Legalists to exploit the citizens and cause the collapse of the country.
The middle-aged man shouted, “Let’s discuss here which kind of policy to govern the country can make it stronger and more powerful, but now we don’t even find a way to strengthen itself, you actually think of settling the world, ha-ha, like two robbers planning to rob a merchant house, but before we act, the two of us made a huge move because of our consideration for the future division, yet in the end we both ended up with injuries and injuries, truly unworthy of concern.”
Many of the people present started laughing out loud after hearing the incident, they were also ridiculing Chen Ling for worrying about nothing, but there were a few who did not laugh and were still deep in thought, waiting to see how the young man would answer.
Chen Ling grew up in an ancient martial family, trained in martial arts and cultivated in national studies, and flipped through many ancient books regarding the essence of ancient culture. At this time, he was conversing with hundreds of scholars, yet he still did not finish his words, and instead sneered and returned, replying confidently: “Haha, enough words, made me think of a legend, a turtledove, flying low all day, eating its fill and actually teasing the Great Peng’s action of gathering grain in the south in the third month. It’s really short-sighted, like a frog at the bottom of a well.
This legend originated from the “Yu Jiu Xiao Peng” in the village “Free and Unrestrained Travelling”. This Zhuang Zhou used strange fables to explain the profound principles, and was one of the sons of 100 families in ancient times and modern times. He was an important representative of the Taoist school, and was one of the most powerful people in the world, not only did he become a school of his own, but he also became a sage of the sword, and his book “Zhuang Zi” was one of the classics of the Taoists.
His “Zhuangzi” had fifty-two chapters, and in the later generation there were thirty-three, which were divided into seven, fifteen and eleven. For Guo Xiangzhen, the thought, structure and style of the inner text were all similar, which were generally considered to be written by Zhuang Zhou, while the outer and the miscellaneous text were also written by Zhuangzi, and were even included in the individual chapters of other schools, and there were many differences between the thought and the inner text.
In philosophy, the path of nothingness sometimes gives it some materialism; in politics, it sometimes advocates absolute inaction, sometimes it advocates the above and the underworld; in the attitude of the world, it sometimes preaches discord and sometimes it favors avoidance; in the view of life, it sometimes advocates the oligarchy and sometimes it preaches the indulgence; but unfortunately it belongs to the category of idealism and is not promoted by the education of the future.
When the people present heard Chen Ling using the manor’s story to ridicule his opponent, they also laughed along. Today’s debate was extremely intense, it was so intense that even their faces were flushed red, different from the battles of the past. It was to make everyone especially excited.
At this moment, a light yellow dressed scholar suddenly asked, “Then may I ask if this young master has a plan to rule the country? It would be better to talk about it with everyone and help us clear up the clouds, so that we can listen to a plan that is more ideal than the rule of law or the Confucianism.”
In a world of strife, the change of the current tide was closely related to everyone’s fate. People naturally cared more about it, but they wanted to hear the whole story. Seeing that this scholar’s speech was extraordinary, the scholars, merchants, officials, and other officials all gathered together. They naturally formed a large circle, waiting with their heads raised.
The maidservants of the Clear Stream Jade Workshop were accustomed to this scene, and they even calmly shifted the wine cases of some guests, forming an atmosphere of discussion and drinking in an instant.
Chen Ling ignored them and downed a few cups of wine. The alcohol on his face flushed red with excitement as he thought of what Gan Mao had said that night. The contenders were eager to achieve quick results, but they didn’t think about fundamental struggles. It is difficult to win, but strong. It is difficult to overpower. In the end, the kingdom has yet to mature. This is not the time yet. ”
When the great tide of war arrives, there will be a nation that will devour all the kingdoms under the heavens within a hundred years. When the foundation of a country is established, it will be able to turn the world into an emperor, and at that time, the world will be divided into thirty-six counties, and with the unity of the characters and measures, the nation will be connected to the Great Wall to prevent the Hu from invading, and there will be no suffering from war. Before that time comes, every kingdom will have one last hope to rise. Everyone was stunned before they could finish their words.
