Chapter 786: The Legalists Have No Future, and It Is Difficult for the Sword to Recognize

When Ci Song heard this, he immediately recalled some memories related to Legalism in his mind, and then slowly spoke: "Legalism, one of the hundreds of schools of thought, advocates the rule of law and opposes the rule of etiquette. If it is broken down, there are three major ones. School, law, technique, and momentum. Fa refers to the sound legal system, technique refers to the strategies and means to control ministers, control political power, and implement laws, while momentum refers to the monarch's power, that is, authority."

"Legalism advocates ruling the country by law, ruling officials by law, and ruling people by law, regardless of relative, distance, or rank, which has brought a strong impact on blood and hierarchy. And the master of Legalism is Han Sheng. You will use laws, techniques, and The combination of the three has pushed Legalism to a new level.”

"Then do you know what the core idea of ​​Legalism is?"

Han Shengxuying spoke again and asked Ci Song.

"The core idea of ​​Legalism is to rule the country by law, without distinction between relatives and strangers, no distinction between high and low, and all based on the law. The rule of law advocated by Legalists is to make the law public to the world, so that everyone knows what can be done. , what cannot be done, rather than hiding the law in the treasury and letting the people speculate.”

"At the same time, Legalism advocates that everyone must abide by the law regardless of blood, kinship, or rank. If a prince breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people."

Ci Song expressed his understanding, and Han Shengxuying nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, being able to say this at least shows that you have some understanding of our Legalism, but what I want to know is you Based on your own understanding, how do you view the future of Legalism?”

"The future of Legalism?"

Ci Song was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Han Sheng Xuying would ask such a question, but then he came back to his senses and began to think about the problem seriously.

"In my opinion, Legalism has no future." Ci Song pondered for a moment, and then said something shocking.

"Oh? There is no future? Then tell me, why is there no future?"

Han Shengxuying was not angry, but asked Ci Song curiously.

"Because the rule of law advocated by Legalism has a fundamental conflict with the interests of the noble families. In the eyes of the noble families, the law will only become a tool to restrain them, rather than a tool for them to govern the country. Therefore, they will definitely find ways to To prevent Legalists from truly taking power."

"As for the Legalists, if they want to truly gain power, they will inevitably have conflicts with noble families. This kind of conflict cannot be resolved in a short time, and may even last for hundreds or thousands of years."

"In addition, the ideas advocated by Legalism will make a country continue to become stronger, and the basis for becoming stronger is to launch wars and plunder resources from other countries to strengthen itself. In this way, it will compete with Confucianism and Taoism. When there is a conflict between the doctrines, Confucianism advocates benevolent government, while Taoism advocates governance by inaction. These are all fundamentally in conflict with Legalism."

"So, the Legalist path is very difficult to walk, and it may even be a dead end."

Ci Song expressed his thoughts, and Han Shengxuying was silent for a long time after listening, and then slowly spoke, "You are right, the path of Legalism is indeed difficult to walk. , but this road has to be taken.”

"When I proposed the ideas of Legalism, it was to change this continent, to make Korea strong, so that all living beings would no longer be controlled by aristocratic families, so that the people could truly live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer suffer from the pain of war."

"Although this road is difficult to walk, as long as there are people who are willing to work hard and fight for this goal, Legalism will never die."

Han Shengxuying's eyes seemed to have traveled through countless time and space at this moment, and he saw the distant future, a beautiful future that he yearned for.

"Little guy, you have your own ideas, which is very good. Tianyuan scholars should have their own independent thinking instead of following what others say."

"In today's mainland, the influence of aristocratic families has become deeply entrenched. Changing this cannot be done overnight. Even if the Legalists fail, there will be other schools in the future to complete the unfinished work of the Legalists."

Han Shengxuying's words made Ci Song silent. He did not expect that this saint who had ascended to the immortal world would have such ambition and ambition.

"As for the assessment, forget it. I keep this saint's treasure to benefit future generations. If someone who is destined to get my inherited treasure cannot use it, then there is no point in me leaving this treasure."

"I see that you are not a treacherous person, so I will give you this treasure. I only hope that in the future you will not go astray like the owner of the sword that defeats evil."

As soon as Han Shengxuying finished speaking, Ci Song's eyes darkened. When he came back to his senses, his consciousness had returned again, and at this moment, the Shuo Nan Sword in his hand began to emit a dazzling blue light, which resonated with Ci Song himself. .

After a moment, the blue light on the Shuo Nan Sword disappeared, and Ci Song also felt an extra connection between himself and the Shuo Nan Sword. With a thought in his mind, the Shuo Nan Sword turned into blue light, integrated into his body, and flew to his body. in Dantian.

The Shui Nan Sword instantly released a surge of talents. These talents continuously improved Ci Song's qualifications. At the same time, they also expanded Ci Song's Dantian Qi Sea, making Ci Song's total talents continue to increase.

"Gulu gulu."

In Ci Song's body, talent was like a surging river, with magnificent waves. His cultivation seemed to have taken an unprecedented leap at this moment.

Originally, the Ci Song was just like a small stream of water gathered together, only a small water tank containing three liters of water, quiet and limited, but in an instant, it was pushed by an unstoppable force and began to expand unprecedentedly.

He felt this unprecedented power, and his heart was filled with indescribable excitement and shock. The talent released by the Shuo Nan Sword came like a violent storm, but when it came into contact with the bronze ancient tripod hanging on his chest, it was endowed with some mysterious power, becoming pure and condensed, and naturally merged into his Dantian without Ci Song's refining power.

"Boom!"

After an unknown amount of time, Ci Song only felt a roar in his mind, and then he found that the talent stored in his Dantian had reached one hu, and part of it had begun to "vaporize", turning into wisps of mist floating in Ci Song's Dantian.

This also means that Ci Song's cultivation is only one step away from breaking through the realm of great Confucianism.

"Is this the improvement brought to me by the sage's treasure?"

Ci Song felt the magnificent talent in his Dantian, and his face showed excitement.

At this moment, he had a feeling that as long as he wanted, he could directly break through to the realm of great Confucianism.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Ci!"
