Han Fei's words just now were full of holes. He took the initiative to talk about Shang Yang's reform. In Han Fei's opinion, as the young master of the State of Qin, Ying Wei couldn't possibly say that his country was bad, right?
Therefore, he could only admit that Legalism was the true way of governing the country, and it was a theory that could make the country strong and powerful, not the morality and benevolence of Confucianism.
This way, Ying Wei's idea of having both morality and punishment would be destroyed.
Of course, Ying Wei knew that there was a trick in Han Fei's words, but he was not afraid and said confidently,""…Extraordinary times call for extraordinary actions.”
"In today's era, etiquette has collapsed and music has broken down. The seven countries are in constant war. In such an era, the laws of Shang King can naturally make the country strong.”
"However, the way of magic that Senior Brother praises is a way to strengthen the country and weaken the people. The strength of the country does not represent the strength of the people.”
" Teacher once said that water can carry a boat, and water can capsize a boat. The people are most resistant to harsh laws and tyranny.”
"If the country advances and the people retreat, in the long run, this ship called the country will definitely capsize!”
Hearing Ying Wei's righteous words, Han Fei didn't think much of it.
This was also the limitation of the people of this era. As a member of the royal family of Korea, although Han Fei had his own benevolence and righteousness, he would feel sad when he saw the poor people.
Han Fei also wanted to improve the lives of the people at the bottom of the society.
But Han Fei didn't think that the people at the bottom could overthrow the country.
Most importantly, the first large-scale peasant uprising in China was in the Qin Dynasty, and there had never been such a large-scale peasant uprising in the Warring States Period.
Due to the limitations of the times, Han Fei couldn't see this at all.
In the history of China, no peasant uprising had ever succeeded.
However, when a large-scale peasant uprising appeared, it meant that the dynasty was about to collapse.
At this moment, Xun Zi was the happiest. He could not help but smile.
He clearly knew that his disciples would leave their names in history.
However, Ying Wei quoted the classics. Most of the classics came from Xunzi's works and compared them to Confucius and Mencius.
As a teacher, how could Xun Zi not be happy to be praised by such an outstanding student?
At the very least, this proved that in Ying Wei's eyes, this teacher of his was virtuous, knowledgeable, and capable. To the Confucians, this was enough.
At this time, Ying Wei looked at Han Fei and said slowly in a deep voice,""…Moreover, Lord Shang once said that there is no way to govern the world, and the country does not follow the ancient ways.”
"Now that the various countries are fighting each other frequently, Shang Jun's law is naturally the most suitable law for this era.”
" Yi once said,'When you are poor, you will change. When you change, you will be able to understand.' Shang Jun's method can only be used for a while, not for a lifetime. When it is time to change, it will naturally change.”
Han Fei's face suddenly turned ugly and he asked subconsciously,""When should I change?"
Ying Wei raised his head and laughed loudly.”
In history, the Qin Dynasty did not change, so it died. From then on, people's expressions changed when they heard about Legalism.
It was only when the Confucians improved and absorbed the thoughts of the Legalists that the Legalists 'Dao continued to spread in the form of Confucianism.
Putting everything else aside, Legalism's 'power' and 'technique' were the methods that all kings and higher-ups had to use for thousands of years, even in modern times two thousand years later.
As soon as Ying Wei finished speaking, the flat ground between the mountains became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The only thing that could be heard was the cool breeze and flowing water.
"Whoosh!"
In the next moment, the scholarly students were all in an uproar.
In this era, if one wanted to seek knowledge, there were no real commoners. These Confucian children came from various countries, and many of them were nobles.
But now, Ying Wei had actually said that he wanted to destroy their country in front of these people. How could this not cause a sensation?
Among everyone, there were two people with the most complicated thoughts.
One of them was Li Si. As a disciple of Xun Zi, he naturally sat among the other scholarly disciples.
After hearing Ying Wei's bold words of 'destroying the six countries', Li Si clenched his fists and looked at Ying Wei with excitement. He knew that he had found his path.
The other was Han Fei, whose face was pale.
Korea was the weakest, and it bordered the strong Qin, blocking the path that Qin had to take.
If Qin wanted to go east, they would first destroy Korea!
Regardless of whether Han Fei agreed with Ying Wei's remarks and ideas, he knew that he had lost completely.
This was because what Ying Wei was using now was the combination of force and technique from the Legalism's 'fa',' force', and 'technique'. This was using force to suppress others!
This time, the power he used was not power, but power of the nation!
If Han Fei was not completely defeated by the Legalism, then what was he?
I, Ying Wei, have also gathered the great achievements of Legalism!
Han Fei smiled bitterly and cupped his hands.""…Junior Brother, you've mastered the art of magic. Han Fei admits defeat!”
However, he still refused to admit it. Although he lost, he did not admit that he had both virtue and punishment. He was only defeated by his Legalism.
