"Little scholar, before we talk about the Dragon Veins, Yellow River, and Yangtze River, we can talk about Lu Buwei's Heavenly Dao and the tyranny of the First Emperor.”
Yin Shang was actually quite interested in this topic.
He continued," Lu Buwei claimed to be the founder of the miscellaneous school. He used the Heavenly Dao and inaction as the general principle and followed the path of the kingly way to annex the world.”
Lu Buwei was a businessman.
Everyone knew.
Scholars, farmers, merchants and businessmen.
This was especially true for Great Qin's merchants, who were often inferior to sons-in-law.
This was because the Shang Lord's method emphasized the importance of agriculture and the elimination of commerce!
Even the currency could be abolished.
However, after King Huiwen of Qin ascended the throne, he restored the currency and opened up the commerce sector. He also continued to recruit talents from the six states.
Therefore, Ying Si's posthumous title had the word Huiwen.
However…
Even with King Huiwen's coordination.
The Qin country still suppressed and rejected merchants, especially the military and noble classes.
I've shed blood on the battlefield, rolled around in piles of dead bodies, and relied on killing to get to the top!
You are a businessman with rare goods. Other than playing with some power and tricks…
What right do you have?
In such an environment.
The old general Meng Ao had once pointed at Lu Buwei's face and scolded him.
Although Old Lu said that the Prime Minister had a big stomach, he was also very concerned about his identity as a merchant.
Hence, he decided to do it.
Only then did Lu Buwei have a source of motivation.
Recruiting thousands of henchmen, they didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to compile the Spring and Autumn Annals of the Lu family.
After that, he became famous among the Hundred Schools of Philosophy.
Then, with the name of the founder of the sect, he would establish the body of a sage in order to completely erase the identity symbol of the cheap merchant in the past.
Had Lu Buwei succeeded?
Yin Shang could only say…
A hair's breadth.
It's a thousand miles wrong.
In the end, Lu Buwei had not been able to achieve the Duke of Zhou's eternal image.
"In the Lu family's Spring and Autumn Annals, there is a noble chapter: The world was not the world of one person, but the world of all people.”
" Little scholar," Yin Shang said slowly," this is the gist and highlight of Lu Buwei's ruling. You must remember it."”
Hearing this, Fu Su hurriedly cupped his hands in agreement.
Lu Buwei had many redeeming qualities.
This Marquis Wenxin of the Great Qin Dynasty, the King of Qin Zhongfu, the prime minister who had ruled the country for more than ten years, had played a considerable role in laying the foundation for the First Emperor's unification of the world.
That's right!
It is said that the Great Qin Dynasty is the last of the six generations.
In reality, be it Qin Xian Gong or Lu Buwei, they had both helped greatly.
In addition.
The world was not the world of one person, but the world of all people.
This sentence was not originally written by the Lu family.
The original source was actually the sixteenth chapter of Tai Gong's Six Tao Techniques.
The original sentence is: The world is not a person's world, only the Tao can live in it.
Old Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals of the Lu Family was indeed complicated enough. Anyway, he just copied the essence everywhere.
However…
Even though Lu Buwei's actions were a bit of a joke, it actually had a positive effect on the integration of various cultures.
The world's articles are a great copy.
Lv Buwei took the essence of hundreds of schools of thought, abandoned the dross of hundreds of schools of thought, and then summarized them into a chapter.
It was a little too easy.
It also allowed Confucianism, Mohism, Daoism and other theories to no longer be so distinct in terms of spreading. Instead, it was practical.
" The first thing Lu Buwei did when he was in power was to take a hard nut to crack and reform the military law. He abolished the beheading system and implemented a new law on the righteous soldiers, taking the kingly path internationally.”
Yin Shang believed that the Confucians were leaning toward Lu Buwei's rule.
This was the reason.
Old Lu valued the King Dao.
The Eastern Han philosopher Huan Tan said in his book, New Theory: The three emperors ruled the country with morality, while the five emperors educated the people with morality.
The three kings relied on benevolence and righteousness, and the five tyrants relied on power and wisdom.
He said: No system, no order, no punishment, called the emperor.
There are laws and regulations without punishment, called the emperor.
Reward the good and punish the evil, and the vassals go to court to do things, which is called the king.
He raised a large army, made an oath of alliance, and pretended to be loyal to the world, which was called hegemony.
This passage just happened to point out the four concepts of the ancient emperors governing the country concisely.
The Imperial Dao that focused on Dao.
An Emperor Dao that focused on 'Virtue'.
A kingly way that was based on benevolence and righteousness.
It was a domineering style that focused on "law".
Its development was summarized and concluded by the founder of Taoism, Lao Tzu.
That is to say: lose the way and then virtue, lose virtue and then benevolence, lose benevolence and then etiquette, lose etiquette and then law!
This was obvious.
The Hundred Schools of Culture all originated from Dao and also from Dao.
"Lu Buwei is in charge of the Heavenly Dao and the Way of the King. There is no problem with the direction of governance and strategy.”
Yin Shang affirmed without hesitation,""After all, the Confucian principles of benevolence, righteousness, and propriety are deeply rooted in the Central Plains, and the kingly way is definitely extremely popular. As for the Way of Heaven…Lu Buwei's scheme forced Chang 'an Jun Chengjiao to rebel and used this as a reason to forcibly extend the time for the King of Qin to rule the country. Lu Buwei's Way of Heaven was more to let the King of Qin do nothing and make him do something!”
Fu Su was speechless.
The First Emperor Ying Zheng was speechless.
Meng Tian was speechless.
