Chapter 201 On the Law 1
Looking at the plain and plain streets, looking at the happy and relaxed people around, looking at the children running around the streets, and looking at the beautiful four or five-story buildings around
Han Yuanchang and Gongsun Wushang were in different moods.
Later, Han Yuanchang met Lee Hyun, but Lee Hyun did not take special care of Han Yuanchang. Yes, Han Yuanchang was the prime minister of Liu State, but Lee Hyun threw Han Yuanchang to Xu Ren in addition to receiving the ceremony.
Li Xian understood a little bit very well. He was definitely not Han Yuanchang's opponent for intrigue. Han Yuanchang was from the prime minister, so he simply threw it to Xu Ren and asked Xu Ren, Li Yuanming and others to play the striker.
As for Li Xian, he is very official to Han Yuanchang, and he is not rude, but he is completely different to Gongsun Wushang. He is very enthusiastic, and he feels a little embarrassed even when he is so attentive. He is even a little scared that you are so attentive. What is this to do?
After sitting down, Li Xian went straight to the point, "Gongsun Wushang, I, Anyang, need a law enforcement officer, are you willing to take charge?"
Don’t go around, don’t test, and be straight to the point!
Gongsun Wushang was naturally shocked by such direct means, but he had some ability after all. But he did not answer immediately, but got up, tidy up his clothes, and then took his hair back to sit back and his posture was correct. "Mr. Li, if you are serious, then I must also say seriously, I will do my best, and I also need to understand the current situation in Anyang."
Li Xian looked at Gongsun Wushang's eyes and a faint pressure spread out. Now Li Xian is no longer Wu Xia Ameng, but a powerful man who is in charge and holds more than 13 million people. Looking so quietly, it actually caused fine sweat beads to appear on Gongsun Wushang's temples.
After a long time, Li Xian finally nodded, "I appreciate your confidence. Do you know that this time I sent Chang Lin to Liu State not to trade. The real purpose is to go to Liu State to find a Legal talent to formulate laws for Anyang!"
Gongsun Wu was stunned and then felt awe-inspiring. He specially dispatched three iron-clad ships, spanning thousands of miles of sea routes, and contacted Liu Guo in the name of trade, just to find a talent!
This shows at least two points. First, Li Xian attaches importance to talents, and the so-called lawmaking is by no means simple!
After a brief pause, Li Xian continued, "Since you have the confidence to sit here, I will not ask about your past or your talents. I will only ask you, if you are allowed to take charge of Anyang's law, can you do your best to plan for Anyang?"
Gongsun Wushang, who had just been rejected by Liu Guo and had an ambition that could not be realized, almost wanted to jump up immediately at this moment and swear to the sky: I can do it. But this thought changed, but it was suppressed. "Mr. Li, I must first understand the situation in Anyang, and I also need to understand what kind of Anyang you need."
Li Xian thought about it, but shook his head, "Before this, I would like to ask, what kind of law is the law of Liu State? What is the core of such a law?"
Speaking of this, Gongsun Wushang was like a different person, and even a sacred sense of mission appeared on his face. "Before talking about the Legalists, we have to talk about the past counselors, scribes, etc.
Staff members often only serve the lord, while scribes often only focus on the governance of the country.
But whether it is a strategist or a literati, they are all governed by people. Moreover, strategist and literati themselves have different abilities and qualities, and are scattered.
Therefore, our predecessors of the Legalists thought, is there a way to unify strategists and scribes and ensure absolute fairness?
In the end, after a long period of development, the current Legalists were formed.
The Legalist idea is to control people by law instead of governing people by man, and everything is done according to law and put the entire society under the control of the law. The law itself must be made public. In this way, everything is done according to law and the world is ruled with a dignified state."
Li Xian's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea. But it seems that this is just a replacement of the ability of a scribe, not the ability of a strategist."
Gongsun Wushang's tone was slow, clear and powerful, "The Legalists' thoughts were divided into two parts: light and dark. The bright part was ruled by law, and it was the most important. The dark part could be called two-faced and three-sword, which is the most important."
Two-faced and three-kill!
Li Xian narrowed his eyes, and it was not a good word.
Gongsun Wushang did not pause at all, "The so-called two-faced and three-sword are two ways. Two-faced means reward and punishment. The monarch's greatest power is actually only two: reward and punishment. As long as the reward and punishment are clearly distinguished, the monarch will be able to control his subordinates.
But rewards and punishments are not enough, because people's hearts are unpredictable. Therefore, there are three swords.
The so-called three swords are:
First, the power of a king should be high and should not be violated. Those who dare to offend will be killed. This is the strong side, and the righteousness should be shown. This is the momentum.
Second, kings must have the skills of emperors, let the ministers fight internally, let the people fight internally, and let the internal fighting emperors sit on the high platform, smile at the storm, and reap the benefits of fishermen. Then, pick out the more active ones among them to kill them, so as to consolidate the majesty of the emperor. This is a feminine side, and it must be tepid. This is called art, mind technique, power technique.
Third, it is law. Power is the symbol of the emperor, and mind is the way to control ministers. Law is the way to govern the people.
Through the law, the people of the whole country will be turned into sharp swords in the hands of emperors, and they will fight for all benefits for emperors.
Outsiders only say that the Legalists rule the country by law, but do not know that the law is the outermost thing. Law serves the core of two-faced and three-knife. Therefore, the Legalists' law is the king's law, and serves the king.
The ultimate goal is to ensure that the king is always the king, the minister is always the minister, and the people are always the people. And everything is for the king. Anyone who dares to resist the law must be killed without mercy if he resists the emperor!"
Li Xian was stunned and even broke out in cold sweat, "You are just treating the people as pigs and dogs!"
Gongsun Wushang was righteous: "All the kings under the heavens are kings, and all the kings and ministers are kings. In this world, only one master is needed. Therefore, there is no two days in the sky, no two masters in the people, so it should be like this.
Only in this way can we be one with the upper and lower body, and be one with the inner and outer mind. The heart of the king is the heart of the world, and the will of the king is the criterion for the world.
The people are ignorant and have no mention. Therefore, the people cannot consider the people's intentions when governing the country. If the people are dissatisfied and dare to discuss the king's law, kill! If you dare not abide by the king's law, kill! If you harm the king's interests, kill!
As long as you kill all the disobedient, untouchables and foolish people, the rest will be obedient people, and these talents are the talents needed by the emperor.
If this is done, the emperor can rebuke the world and one day he will command the nine heavens and nine earths." To be continued.
