As the scene changed, they arrived at the Temple of Confucius in Qufu!
Many of the emperors looked a little puzzled. Before they could think more, the voice of the video rang again.
..........
The biggest reason why our later generations smeared King Zhou was actually Confucius!
- Here, I solemnly declare that if you want to argue with me, then I am the authority!
"Confucius wanted to slander King Zhou for the following reasons!”
"First, Confucius had a feud with King Zhou!”
"Confucius was born in the State of Lu. The State of Lu is the current East Mountain. During the reign of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, this place was called Dongyi!”
"That's right. It was King Zhou who wiped out Dongyi and turned all the people of Dongyi into slaves, causing them to perish. Therefore, the people of Lu and King Zhou are mortal enemies!”
"The relationship between Confucius and King Zhou is like that between Xiang Yu and Qin Shihuang.”
"Xiang Yu never said a word to Qin Shihuang, but his hatred for Qin Shihuang is too deep to be recorded! Although the State of Chu has three households, if the State of Qin is destroyed, the State of Chu must be destroyed!"
"When Xiang Yu attacked Xianyang, he set Epang Palace on fire.”
"Confucius was born and raised in the State of Lu. How could he not be affected? Even the locals hate King Zhou to the bone!
...........
Ancestral Dragon Ying Zheng opened his eyes!
If Qin is destroyed, Chu will be destroyed?
Xiang Yu?
My Great Qin is dead?
Fu Su?
Immediately, the First Emperor called for the guards to investigate the Xiang family of the former Chu!
............
"Secondly, Confucius has a grudge against King Zhou!”
"The Lu Kingdom is the confidant of the Zhou Emperor. Back then, the Zhou Emperor granted the world and rewarded the vassals greatly. Although he gave away the land and slaves, the Zhou Emperor retained the right to use rites and music to conquer.”
"As the later generations said, rites and music come from the Son of Heaven!”
"Because of the rebellion of the vassals, the Emperor of Zhou gave the power of conquest to the Qi Kingdom where Jiang Ziya was located, but he gave the power of rites and music to the Lu Kingdom!”
"The so-called power of rites and music, in other words, is the right to formulate laws, systems, and carry out propaganda.”
"The State of Lu controls the power of rites and music. Of course, they will do their best to praise the Emperor of Zhou. Then, they will wantonly smear King Zhou, who is the enemy of the Zhou Dynasty. They want to say that the Emperor of Zhou's conquest of Zhou is in accordance with the will of the heavens and the hearts of the people!”
"This way, the emperor's rule can be guaranteed.”
"And Confucius was a staunch supporter of this belief!”
"He has been abiding by the Zhou rites his entire life, waving flags and shouting for the Zhou emperor. Even in the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period where the rites and music collapsed, he still wanted to restore the Zhou rites and establish the well field!”
"This is because the country's stance is different. Therefore, he slandered King Zhou for the sake of his country.”
......
Many emperors nodded in agreement!
The country's standpoint was different. Your family and friends, my enemy, your husband, my love rival. It was completely understandable.
.....
Actually, what I'm going to say next is the real reason. The video continues...
"Thirdly, Confucius slandered King Zhou to defend his theory of governing the country by the kingly way! It was to protect his ideals and aspirations.”
"Confucius 'theory of governing the country by the kingly way means that the wise king will definitely make the country rich and powerful, but if the king loses his virtue, the country will perish!”
"If he admits King Zhou's achievements, then he will be slapping himself in the face and overthrowing his theory of governing the country by the kingly way, because he can't explain how a grand and ambitious King Zhou could lose his country.”
"In his life, Confucius traveled around the world and lobbied the emperor so that the emperor could adopt his policy of governing the country!”
"Therefore, he slandered King Zhou to promote his theory and his ideals.“
.....
"Of course there is, and it's the most important one!”
After I say this, it might be very controversial, but I won't reject anyone!
....
The emperors of various dimensions were watching the video nervously.
They couldn't think of any other angle to analyze it. He had already analyzed all the angles that he could.
...
"Fourth, the biggest conflict between Confucius and King Zhou is the dispute over righteousness!”
"Confucius is the Sage of the Confucian Sect!"
"King Zhou is the founder of Legalism!"
"The conflict between Confucianism and Legalism is the most tragic and most targeted conflict of righteousness.”
"In the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, only Confucianism and Legalism were like fire and water, like mortal enemies!”
......
At this moment.
Many emperors felt their heads explode. It was actually a battle between the scholarly faction and the legalist faction!
Heavens.
They only felt that their entire worldview had been expanded. After all, Confucianism and Legalism were mortal enemies.
Finally, they realized why they said that King Zhou was the founder of Legalism. This was the most direct reason why Confucius slandered King Zhou.
Ying Zheng, Liu Bang, Zhu Di, Wu Zetian, Liu Che, and Cao Cao felt their scalps go numb and their heads buzz.
First, it was personal hatred, then national hatred, then ideals and aspirations, and finally, it directly escalated into righteousness in his heart.
One had to know that ideals and aspirations were only a lifetime's worth of achievements, but the righteousness in one's heart was a thousand years of achievements.
Whoever won would be able to establish the will of the world, establish the lives of the people, and create peace for all generations!
From there, he could become a Saint!
Only when the scholarly faction was the strongest could there be Confucius!
If Legalism became a venerable, the world would only respect the Ancestor of Law!
There could only be one Sage. This was the real reason why Confucius and King Zhou fought to the death.
This was really a step-by-step process, each more convincing than the last.
Under such a bombardment, they really felt that their entire worldview was about to collapse.
......
"On the surface, the conflict between Confucianism and Legalism looks like a conflict between the rule of man and the rule of law.”
"The Confucianists believe that humans are born good!”
"Legalism believes that humans are born evil!”
"Their foundation of learning is completely the opposite.”
"That's why the conflict between Confucianism and Legalism is like fire and water, just like the 'flat earth theory' and 'round earth theory' of the West.”
"Shang Yang once said: Human nature is evil, and because people are evil, there are laws! People in the world are born to love profit, only then will there be disputes over goods and land!”
"Born with greed, there will be thieves, violence, and slaughter. Born with extravagant hopes, there will be sensual pleasures!”
"The evil of human nature must be corrected by law. Only by using the rule of law to guide human nature can human nature be good and orderly!”
"The Dao of Confucius and Mencius said that human nature is good and attributed the achievements of governing the world to the goodness of human nature. Blame the chaos on the Dharmic Armaments of the three families!”
"It's nothing more than a restatement of benevolent government, the rule of man, and the theory of returning to the ancient times. It's a true lie that condones evil deeds and hoodwinks childish people!”
"This is Jixia Learning Palace in the Qi Kingdom. In front of all the famous officials and philosophers, Shang Yang and Mencius are discussing the Dao.”
"After this debate, the Confucian theory of governing the country was completely abandoned by the emperor, and the Warring States Period began a wave of reform!”
"Shang Yang will take up his position and become the great leader of the Qin Country. He will reform and strengthen the Qin Country, unifying the world and laying the foundation for the future!”
"From this, it can be seen that the Confucians slandering the Legalists is a common practice! Mencius was pointed out in front of everyone, but he did not dare to refute. This meant that at that time, it was a matter that everyone was talking about.”
"Therefore, Confucius slandered King Zhou and the Legalism. Everyone knew about this during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.”
"According to Legalism, does Confucius not have greed? They were greedy for eternal fame, greedy for the merit of educating the common people!”
