Chapter 224 Off Topic

In the gazebo, no one spoke, but looked at Liu Xinyu, waiting for Liu Xinyu's next instructions.

But Liu Xinyu shifted his attention to the three people brought by Zhang Hao: "Zhang Hao, this is the person you want to introduce?"

"Yes."

Liu Xinyu glanced at Xu Jie, Yan Qing, and Zheng You, with a somewhat proud posture, and said lightly: "You three, introduce yourself."

Xu Jie was the first to move. He took a half step forward cautiously, confidently and high-spiritedly: "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince Regent. I, Xu Jie, was born in the most eastern land of blue sun in the Fertile Land Continent, and later traveled and studied in the Kunlun Continent for more than ten years. .

For more than ten years, I have traveled to nine countries in the Kunlun Continent, and learned one of the more popular ideas of governing the country in the Kunlun Continent.

Kunlun Continent has several widely recognized and effective methods of governing the country. And what I learned was a kind of thought called 'law'.

To put it simply, the king formulates the law, the officials rule the country according to the law, and the people abide by the law; the law is unique, certain, open, and transparent. Compared with the traditional law of governing the country, the rule of law can greatly eliminate human factors. The king's will can be completely conveyed to every corner of the empire.

In the process of the rule of law, the king is above the top and does not directly participate in governing the country, but controls the country as a bystander and judge.

The law is divided into three parts.

One is called "power", which is unique to the king, and the king is born with it; the king is like a god, high above. Control the 'law' and rule the country by law.

The two are called "shu", and the so-called "shu" comes to the throne with clear rewards and punishments and a balance between left and right.

The third is called "law", which is the law that applies widely to all people, and all people must follow it.

If you get these three, even if the territory is thousands of miles, the king will rule it. "

After Xu Jie finished speaking, Zhang Hao's pupils shrank instantly—a very familiar feeling!

As for Ouyang Si and other officials, their pupils also constricted. They are keenly aware of the problems - if the rule of law is implemented throughout the country, the power of the prime minister will be severely weakened!

Everyone is not a dull person. Although they haven't fully understood the rule of law, just the current explanation is enough to understand the general idea.

But Liu Xinyu's eyes were faintly flickering. But Liu Xinyu didn't speak, she nodded slowly, and then looked at the next one.

Xu Jie returned to his previous position, and Yan Qing took half a step forward: "My Xia Yanqing is from the Kunlun Continent and Nanliang. According to the Fertility Continent, it should be called the Kingdom of Nanliang.

About seven years ago, I met Xu Jie.

What I have learned is the law of a country called "Confucianism". In the Continent of Kunlun, we call the class of nobles who have noble status but cannot have noble rights as 'scholars'. For example, the second son, the third son, etc. are commonly referred to.

We have enough knowledge and have the status of nobility, but we cannot participate in family management and enjoy the rights of nobility. So a special class was formed: the gentry.

Scholars have no property, but have knowledge. Therefore, the gentry must find a way out of the ordinary.

After a long period of evolution, scholars are mainly divided into two parts. Some of them are mainly "wen" and are called "Confucianism". Those who focus on cultivation and fighting are called 'Xia'.

Uh... There is another school that advises the country and is called a counselor. Legalism, a branch of counselors.

In the Continent of Kunlun, Confucian officials ruled and chivalrous soldiers ruled the army, working together to maintain the prosperity of a country. Because the gentry is not dragged down by families, sects, etc., it has flourished in the national environment.

Confucianism governing the country can be summed up in eight words: monarch and minister, father and son. "

Liu Xinyu's eyes became brighter and brighter. Especially the phrase "Scholars have no permanent property" made Liu Xinyu's heart flutter - the general situation of the Qixia Kingdom is: those who are active in the court are the patriarchs of some families, representatives of sects, etc.; With a 'big' tail, they think about the family first, and then the country!

This problem has almost dragged down Qixia Country!

Liu Xinyu nodded slowly, and then looked at the last Zheng You with excited eyes.

When Yan Qing retreated to his seat, Zheng You stepped forward half a step with his head held high: "I, Zheng You, also come from the country of Nanliang, and what I inherited is the thought of a chivalrous man.

In fact, chivalrous men represent only one kind of thought, and chivalrous men can also govern a country; but Confucian scholars may not be able to govern an army!

A great chivalrous man serves the country and the people. The thinking of chivalrous men is positive thinking. On the one hand, we actively study war, but on the other hand, we have the concept of "non-aggression".

To put it bluntly, we do not advocate unjust wars; but we are not afraid of wars! "

The smile on Liu Xinyu's face gradually became brighter, and she keenly discovered an interesting question: "Xu Jie, when you introduced, you didn't introduce Confucian scholars or chivalrous scholars, you just introduced yourself.

Yan Qing, when you introduced counselors and legalists, it seemed that you didn't want to introduce them, and there was obvious hesitation.

And Zheng You, you just clearly belittled Confucian scholars.

But seeing the three of you, my king should be very good friends, otherwise I would not travel thousands of miles together to come to Qixia Kingdom. "

Zhang Hao, Ouyang Si and the others stood still, but they also found it interesting—the three of them started fighting openly and secretly when they introduced themselves. But the three are clearly friends again.

Xu Jie spoke again, and his words were sonorous and forceful: "Friends belong to friends, thoughts belong to thoughts. Legalists believe: Confucianism uses literature to disrupt law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate prohibitions!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was stunned. Sure enough, it is simple enough, clear enough, and domineering!

Not to be outdone, Yan Qing said: "The legal system is fiercer than a tiger, the people suffer unbearably, and all industries wither. The knights often commit crimes against the superior, and have no respect for their elders!"

Zheng You snorted coldly: "In the Continent of Kunlun, the Legalists are ruthless, and the people are unbearable to suffer. Those who rule the country by law can only last a thousand years. Confucian scholars are old and stubborn, and they don't know how to adapt. Those who rule the country by Confucianism will always be weak!"

Yan Qing sneered: "If you rule the country with a chivalrous man, the common people dare to assassinate the king!"

Xu Jie also said coldly: "Although the lifespan of a country ruled by law is not long, in this limited time, we are fighting against other countries.

Those who rule the country by law will perish with the strength of the country!

Those who govern the country with Confucianism will perish with weakness!

Those who rule the country with chivalry, the country will perish in chaos! "

Zhang Hao was stunned as he listened: "Wait, wait, three brothers, you've missed the point. The purpose of our visit today is to discuss how the Qixia Kingdom is strong and long-term. It's not about how to subjugate the country!"

Everyone: ...

"Crow's Mouth!" Liu Xinyu snorted coldly, not knowing who he was talking about. But Zhang Hao felt that this must be talking about himself. And Zhang Hao faintly felt that Liu Xinyu's expression when he said this was a little...pretty!

Zhang Hao sneered. After all, he was recommended by himself, so he always had to say yes or no. Zhang Hao said slowly: "Your Highness, I think that the thoughts of Confucianism, Law, and Chivalry can be taken from each of the three, and let the three of them be in charge of different departments."

Liu Xinyu nodded slowly: "Zhang Hao, I am quite satisfied with the three people you recommended for the time being. But the most urgent thing is not these, but the truce negotiation and the exchange of prisoners.

Do you have any idea? "

"Me?" Zhang Hao was a little surprised.

"Yes, it's you. I think you have at least half of the credit for Xingchang County's victory."

Zhang Hao calmed down, he thought carefully for a long time, and said slowly: "I don't think it's easy to answer this matter.

Theoretically speaking, the Qixia Kingdom needs to recuperate; but there is a very serious problem, that is, our trade route has been cut off, and our pill supply is very difficult.

If we keep fighting, it's okay for everyone to breathe a sigh of relief. But once the war ceases, all kinds of problems will erupt. What kind of consequences will be at that time, it is unimaginable!"

Another point is that the princess is now the regent. Zhang Hao didn't say this, but the meaning was already revealed in his words. And Liu Xinyu also understood.

After a short pause, Zhang Hao continued: "Besides, the biggest reason for our victory this time is the artillery. And the Kingdom of Jinyang may have mastered the core secret of the artillery, which is explosives. Therefore, the longer the delay , the more unfavorable we are.

Especially there is a Nine Suns Sect.

Also, those supported by the Land of Canglan would probably not want to see the truce and peace talks.

Taking everything into consideration, my opinion is: Survive death! Only victory can bring stability to this country! "

Zhang Hao's last words also had something in them - do you want to be a queen? So, go for victory!

Liu Xinyu's eyes were extraordinarily bright, and the way she looked at Zhang Hao was quite meaningful. "What you said makes sense! This king will consider it!" (Your reminder, this king has written it down.)

Zhang Hao straightened his body suddenly, and said in a calm tone: "Your Highness, I have one more thing to do today. That is - self-recommendation! I also have a strategy for governing the country to offer."
