Chapter 114 Mencius' Way of Salvation(2/2)
He Yan heard Chen Qun's words and felt that this great talent who could formulate the "Nine-grade Zhongzheng System" in the future already wanted to do something at this time.
"I understand, Brother Changwen is not here to enlighten me, but to draw me into his group."
Chen Qun seemed to want to get something from He Yan.
"Now that Marquis Shen has spoken out, I will no longer hide it."
When Chen Qun saw that He Yan was a sensible person, he also opened the skylight and spoke frankly——
"In today's world, rituals and music have collapsed, and the so-called Confucian classics to govern the world is even more nonsense."
"Many Confucian scholars read through ancient books, trying to find a way out from the scriptures of sages."
"As a father, Ding You, he also consulted the scriptures, trying to find a way out of the world based on the principles of saints."
"Have you found Brother Changwen?"
"Found it."
"Whose classic is it?"
"The sage Mencius."
When He Yan heard this name, he couldn't help but be a little stunned: "Why him?"
"The people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the most important!"
Only then did He Yan know how the "Nine-grade Zhongzheng System" formulated by Chen Qun in later generations was fiddled with.
Are emotions learned from Mencius?
It is true that Mencius had the people-oriented thought of "the people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important", but at the same time, Mencius also had a set of strict hierarchical governance ideas such as "those who work hard govern others, and those who work hard govern others."
Therefore, "the people are the most precious" in the previous sentence refers not only to the working people, but also to the "hardworking people" like Chen Qun.
It has to be said that as long as Mencius's set is slightly modified, it is almost entirely beneficial to the family. It is no wonder that Chen Qun chose Mencius as the medicine to save the world.
If we add the two propositions of "the king of law" and "benevolent government must start from the economic world", it will almost completely take politics, law, and finance out of the hands of the imperial power, and unify them under the name of the aristocratic family.
.
Obviously, what Chen Qun realized from Mencius should be to strengthen the family and then cut off the flesh and blood of the imperial power to save the world.
The problem is...
"Brother Changwen, you come to me for such a big matter?"
