Chapter 237 Luo Ling's Practice (Part 2)
Following Luo Ling's clear voice, the entire hall fell into silence, and even the atmosphere became stagnant.
Practice the law?
It is indeed enforcing the law, but what he wants to trample on are not simple punishers, but those tyrants, those traitors who want to achieve their eternal goal by enslaving all the people.
The Mencius School, which had experienced a major blow, was about to cheer loudly. The people are more important than the king, and to sacrifice one's life for righteousness, these are the two core values of the Mencius School.
Luo Ling paused for a moment and looked at the people in the hall. Due to their different identities and statuses, everyone present naturally had different reactions.
Some people didn't even understand what Luo Ling wanted to do. He turned to look at Xiang Yu, who was the one who couldn't understand Luo Ling's deep meaning at all.
But given Xiang Yu's character, he wouldn't care even if he heard it. I don't know whether to say he is short-sighted or overconfident.
He doesn't play these political tricks, he only believes in his own military force. Does ruling the world require those twists and turns?
For a dynasty that pursues stability, a monarch like Xiang Yu is naturally destructive, but not for a nation. Killing will only provoke resistance. The more resistance there is, the stronger the national spirit will become, and the straighter the backbone will become.
It is precisely the kind of king who appears gentle on the surface but subtly instills slavery in people that is the most terrifying. If a person does not even dare to rebel, is he still a human being?
Luo Ling wanted to plant a seed of resistance in the hearts of the people of Zhu Xia, just like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who rose up in rebellion. When one can no longer survive, one should rebel instead of starving to death.
But these words cannot be said directly, even Luo Shi does not dare to say it, as that would really be a way to death.
The Luo family can only save the country in a roundabout way, and promote this process bit by bit in various ways. Shaping the spiritual world of the entire Zhu Xia people is a family mission that is equally important to the Luo family as maintaining the prosperity of Zhu Xia.
For a thousand years, the Luo family has advanced little by little through the influence of King Su and his family. Now it has come to a critical moment, and the task has fallen on Luo Ling.
In order to achieve this goal, he thought carefully and decided to do so by trampling on the punishment family.
The riots in the world are caused by the cruelty of the criminals, and the people shed tears and shed tears because the criminals harm the people. Shouldn't such punishment be abandoned?
The penal family is a basket. Not only the bad aspects of the penal family itself, but also those that extend out or may extend out are all put together and thrown into the garbage dump.
In this situation, who will tell the difference?
By then, once the Golden and Stone Alliance is formed, who can overthrow it? The King of Su will be watching you in heaven!
Luo Ling scanned the entire audience.
Who is in favor? Who is against?
Or, who would object? Who dares to object?
The Shandong princes have witnessed with their own eyes that Luo Ling's words can cause great changes in the world. The only thing they want now is not to provoke Luo Ling, the head of the Luo family. Although everyone speculates that Luo Ling cannot call the shots at will, otherwise how could Bang Zhou be destroyed?
But no one is willing to risk their own life. Although what Luo Ling said before is beneficial to the rule, it does not mean that the rule cannot be continued without those things.
Since Luo Shi doesn't like it, then I won't use it. As for the future? People should take care of the present first and then think about the future.
Moreover, there were also some princes in Shandong who hated the penalists very much, such as the King of Qi. In Qi, Guan Zhong's thoughts were the mainstream.
Because there is no Lu State in this world, the Prince of Qi State, in order to revitalize Qi State, relied on kinship and blood alliance to retrieve the original ideas of Guan Zhong from Luo State.
The State of Luo was very generous and gave a lot of newly researched things. The Legalists of Qi absorbed a lot of humanistic ideas, which led to the fact that the Confucians and Mohists in Qi could not defeat the Legalists of Qi.
The Legalists of Qi said that Shang Yang, that bastard, had ruined the reputation of the Legalists. Actually, we don't mind changing the name.
Compared with these princes with low cultural levels, the various schools of thought who specialize in academics can better understand the profound meaning of Luo Ling's words.
These ruling techniques exist to a greater or lesser extent in the classics of various schools, but most of them are not as blatant and extreme as those of the Legalists of the Three Jins.
Moreover, those things were not considered core in the classics of various schools. The doctrine of the Three Jin Legalists, which was entirely for the service of the monarch, was highly despised, especially by the Mencius School, which denounced it as heresy.
When facing Luoling, the various schools of thought were even more silent than the princes of Shandong.
The Luo family behind Luo Ling is the academic authority who holds the final right of interpretation. Every detail of the Three Jin Legalists' birth, prosperity, and success was recorded. Wherever he said the penalists were harmful, that's where they were harmful. Do you understand better than Luo family?
Even if someone is brave enough to challenge authority, Luoling still occupies the moral high ground. The Qin Dynasty has just collapsed. Who dares to say at this time that we just want to fool the people and control the people of the world, making them work like slaves? The cry to punish the unjust and tyrannical Qin has not disappeared yet!
Any prince in the hall, whether it was Xiang Yu or any other prince, whoever dared to say this at this time would be labeled a tyrant on the spot and then condemned by the whole world.
Luo Ling dared to do this at this time, naturally not because he was arrogant and thought that the Luo family could subdue the people of the world. He almost never went against the trend when doing things. He always took advantage of the situation, let nature take its course, and then changed direction at the critical juncture.
The Luo family chose this moment to practice the law because they had experienced hundreds of years of turmoil, and the emergence of countless white-robed ministers had greatly weakened the ideological foundation of aristocratic rule.
It was a consensus that there were wise ministers capable of assisting the sage king among the common people and even slaves. Then, after hundreds of years of propaganda, morality and talent had surpassed bloodline to become the most important things for an official, and official position and title were completely separated.
Although most of those who can read nowadays are still descendants of aristocrats, this is fundamentally different from hereditary aristocracy.
As long as knowledge continues to flow down, talented people will continue to emerge from the bottom and replace the dregs in the ruling class. This is Luo's ultimate ideal.
"color!"
After a short silence, all the people in Mencius' school, who had been impatient for a long time, began to congratulate. Under the influence of Luo, Mencius almost completely inherited Confucius's legacy, and the idea of teaching without distinction flowed through this school.
Although Meng Yun’s death caused a great loss to this school, it doesn’t matter. As long as Luo’s classics are still there, they can rise again.
"In the past, King Su created the Zhou rites and the kingly way, and passed them on to the princes and ministers. He built magnificent palaces in Haojing and Luoyang so that the princes and ministers of the world could receive instruction.
Luo Sheng opened a school in Luo State and selected all the outstanding students in Luo State to study there. As long as one had talent, even the son of a farmer could be admitted.
Confucius traveled around the countries and opened private schools. He served as the chief academic officer of the Luoyang Palace twice. He taught everyone without discrimination. Even though the dictator Qin Shi Huangdi persecuted Confucian scholars, Confucianism remained the most prominent school of thought in the world. This is the reason.
People’s desire to learn is endless, and anyone who tries to deprive them of it will inevitably die in the wrath of the world.”
Mencius is a minority among the various Confucian schools today, but his academic influence is very great. Although Mencius suffered heavy losses, his reputation among people all over the world is rising. Many people transformed their resentment towards the First Emperor into sympathy for Mencius, and devoted themselves to Mencius because of his passionate articles and highly persuasive words.
Following Meng Ru's words, everyone in the hall woke up as if from a dream. Taoists and Confucianists from Huang-Lao sects congratulated Luo Ling one after another and even started singing. The whole hall suddenly became noisy and filled with singing.
The historian's pen never stopped from beginning to end. This meeting, which was destined to go down in history, had to be recorded in great detail. Dozens of painters were also going to record today's meeting and paint it on the walls of the hall.
Xiang Yu was a little slow to realize it, as he had no idea about the various schools of thought. After all, the Xiang family had a family background in learning, which made them fundamentally different from other bloodline aristocrats. They were more like technocrats with bloodline.
However, the other Shandong princes were secretly envious when they saw Luo Ling's overwhelming support. If they had such a high prestige as Luo Ling, would they still need to worry about the lack of talent in the country?
Thinking about this and looking at Luo Ling sitting at the head, he just felt that it was an extreme waste. With such good resources and reputation, not to mention becoming the common ruler of the world, based on Luo Ling's merits, he could at least restore the Luo Kingdom.
But in the end, he only chose Zhaocheng as the place for sacrifice, and in accordance with the rules of the Zhou Dynasty, he was only called Duke and not King, and he looked completely indifferent, watching the world's affairs with his hands held.
Luo Ling's tense body finally relaxed. Once a debate took place in such an occasion, no matter whether he won or lost, it would not be a good thing. There were some things that were not allowed to be questioned.
Fortunately, sufficient preparations had been made before, and the selection of people entering the palace was also very strict. The meeting went very smoothly, just like the ancestors in the past, where everything was arranged and then everyone carried out the work. This was how King Su divided the fiefdoms in the past, and the next thing to do was the most important implementation.
"Everyone!"
As Luo Ling's voice rang out again, the cheers in the hall gradually died down, and everyone was waiting to see how Luo Ling would completely destroy these thoughts.
After all, people will change. Even if they agree very well in the hall, they will definitely change their minds once their interests differ. This is human nature.
Either the benefits of not changing are too great, or the disadvantages of changing are too great. Luo Ling can only do these two things. Some people have already vaguely guessed what Luo Ling is going to do, because that is exactly what all the philosophers and schools of thought want him to do.
Luo Ling looked around the room and laughed loudly, "In the past, when Luo State was prosperous, there was a holy temple in Zhaocheng. All the saints and sages were there. But as Zhaocheng was destroyed, the holy temple disappeared. Students all over the world could no longer see the faces of the saints. But in fact, the statues of the saints have been taken away. The day Zhaocheng was rebuilt was the day the holy temple was reborn."
