Chapter 288: Han Sheng College, Two More Challengers Have Arrived?

South Korea, as a relatively special existence among the Seven Kingdoms, is located in the Central Plains. South Korea is surrounded by Wei, Qi, Chu and Daliang. The space for development is extremely limited. Even in Tianyuan Continent, South Korea's territory is among the Seven Kingdoms. The smallest one, but its military strength can be ranked among the top four.

But for such a small country, a saint was born in its royal family, the famous Han Fei. His works such as "Indignation" and "Five Worms" have become the foundation of South Korea's governance.

And because in "Five Worms", the original meaning of the word "worm" (du four tones) refers to the pests in the wood, and "Five Worms" refers to the five kinds of borers, namely the scholar, the sick charioteer, and the sword-bearing one. There are five types of speakers, commentators, and industrial and commercial traders. These are all moths that disrupt the rule of law and should be eliminated.

Among them, scholars naturally refer to Confucianism who pays attention to etiquette and law but do nothing; those who are worried about imperialism refer to those who are afraid of war; those who carry swords refer to loyal knights with Mohism as the main body; and those who speak naturally refer to those who can rule the world with one word. The strategist of the pattern.

It is precisely because of this "Five Worms" that after Han Sheng ascended to the throne, Legalism was deliberately suppressed by Confucianism, which lasted for thousands of years. This also resulted in the influence of the Legalist school that had produced saints. The overall strength is still much weaker, and this situation of suppression has only eased a bit now.

The largest academy in Korea is the academy founded by Han Sheng before he ascended to the immortal world. It is similar to Yan Sheng Academy and is located in the prosperous capital city of Pingyang.

The buildings of Han Sheng Academy are all in classical style, with extremely high courtyard walls. The entire courtyard is surrounded by tall trees. The four characters "Han Sheng Academy" are written on the main gate of the academy, with elegant writing and majestic momentum. It is somewhat similar to the four characters "Yansheng Academy" on Zhongzhou Yansheng Academy, but compared with those four characters, it is less agile and more heavy.

Under a pavilion in the academy square, Shang Wuliang was studying "Xianxue", one of the classics of Legalism, and beside him stood an old man with a white beard in purple clothes, answering his questions. Confused.

At this moment, a Legalist disciple hurriedly rushed to Shang Wuliang's side, cupped his fists and saluted: "Mr. Han, Senior Brother, today another bullock cart came in front of our college, two young men, He said he wanted to come into our academy to discuss academic principles together.”

"Are they still the same two people as before?"

There was a solemn look on Shang Wuliang's face.

"No, although the styles of the oxcarts this time are very similar, and the workmanship is from Daliang. From the accent of one of them, there is no doubt that he is from Daliang, but the person speaking is younger, and he looks like he is only thirteen or fourteen years old. , and the other one is wearing a hat. Although his face cannot be seen clearly, his temperament is more mature. "

"Although their clothes are very similar to the two people who came before, excluding the disguise, I can confirm that they are not the two people before."

The disciple replied.

"Let them come in." Mr. Han waved his hand and said to the disciple.

"Yes." The disciple raised his hands to the two of them, and then ran towards the door.

Shang Wuliang put down the book in his hand and sighed slightly, "Teacher, is this Daliang planning to use troops against us, so it deliberately sent people to harass us. They just sent away two of them a few days ago, but they came again today. two."

Mr. Han did not answer Shang Wuliang's question, but asked: "Wuliang, what is law and what is punishment?"

"The law is the rule that is observed by the whole world, and everything is abided by it. The punishment is the law that punishes the whole world, and those who violate it are punished." Shang Wuliang expressed the basic understanding of Legalism.

"The understanding is correct, but there are still some deviations." Mr. Han said with a smile: "Legalism emphasizes the rule of law, and the law is obtained from the public. However, the premise of fairness and justice requires sacrificing some freedom. Without freedom, it is called the rule of law. Punishers, The law of public punishment in the world is that the offender shall be punished. This sentence is not wrong, but it should be emphasized that punishment should be punished for the crime, not punishment for the crime. "

"Students are stupid." Shang Wuliang humbly asked for advice.

Mr. Han sighed slightly and said: "Although the young man from Daliang some time ago is not as good as you, but during the communication with him, I found that his understanding of the law is better than yours, and he is extremely open-minded. , is to identify with Legalism from the bottom of one’s heart, which is extremely valuable for a Confucian student who practices the Six Arts of Confucianism.”

"As the leader of this generation of our Legal family, when you enter Tianguan in the future, you will also need to protect the thousands of students behind you. The burden on your shoulders is very heavy, and I hope you can support it in the future."

"Students please listen to the teacher's teachings." Shang Wuliang saluted.

After saying this, the disciple who reported the incident ran back, "Teacher, senior brother, they are here."

"Well, take them to the quiet room." Mr. Han ordered.

"yes."

The disciple nodded, turned and left.

Shang Wuliang stood up, supported Mr. Han, and walked towards the quiet room in the backyard of the academy.

. . . . .

"Teacher, don't tell me. This Han Sheng Academy is quite impressive. It's not much different from Yan Sheng Academy."

"That's natural. Hansheng Academy is backed by the Korean royal family.

Support, although it has been suppressed, the influence of Han Sheng Academy is still there. Over the years, Han Sheng Academy has still had several extremely outstanding students, and they have performed well in Tianguan. "

"Students from Han Sheng Academy also have to enter Tianguan?"

"Of course, but Han Sheng Academy is different from the five major academies. Whether to go to Tianguan is purely voluntary. There are also many legalists who choose to stay in Korea and serve the royal family."

"Is that so."

The people who spoke were Ci Song and Ning Ping'an. The two had just been brought into the academy by a disciple and led to this quiet room.

This quiet room is actually a room, which is very simple. There are no other furnishings except tables and chairs. The whole room is spacious enough for three people. There is a painting hanging on the wall, which depicts high mountains and flowing water. This is an ink painting, which is very freehand. This painting is hung on the wall, giving people a sense of lofty spirit.

"Please wait, Mr. Han and the senior brother of our academy are on their way." A legalist disciple bowed to Ci Song and Ning Ping'an.

After hearing the three words "senior brother", Ci Song asked curiously, "Is your senior brother Shang Wuliang?"

"It is Senior Brother Shang. Does this junior brother know my senior brother?" The disciple asked curiously.

"We've met a few times, but we're not familiar with each other."

Ci Song replied with a smile, and then poured a cup of tea for Ning Ping'an.

Soon, Shang Wuliang supported Mr. Han and walked in from the door.
