Mr. Wen looked out the window and said compassionately.

Only after you have enough emotions can you speak slowly.

"Prince, have you ever thought that over the years, the old-school ministers who opposed the reform have been one after another, endlessly, even if they know they are dead, they will jump out and hit the stone with eggs? What is the mystery?"

The first time I saw Wen Yanbo so serious, Wang Ning'an also put away his laughter and scolding, becoming deeper.

"Reforms have damaged the interests of too many people. In addition, reforms have to change people's thoughts. For thousands of years, it is not so easy to change. Even in a few decades, or even hundreds of years, people will oppose it."

Wen Yanbo smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Erlang is indeed keen, but I think that although the reforms damage interests, they also create greater benefits... Take this time for example. As long as the Western Regions are opened up, the territory of the Song Dynasty will almost double suddenly, and there are enough benefits to be distributed, so there is no need to worry about this. The real life is still on the Confucius and Mencius Taoist tradition that has been for thousands of years!"

Wang Ning'an was shocked. He straightened his back and listened to Wen Xianggong's high opinions.

Wen Yanbo was a little proud and continued, "Erlang, think about it, over the years, what are your financial management skills and military training methods? I think of it? I think that whether you regain Youzhou or take down Hengshan, the methods you use are the remaining ones that Guan Zhong plays, right?"

Wang Ning'an nodded, "Guan Zhong is indeed a genius. There are so many things worth learning from his country and his way of fighting for hegemony. I just learned a little bit of fur."

This is not Wang Ning'an's modestness. If you read Guanzi carefully, you will find that even after two or three thousand years, the old man's wisdom is still valuable for reference and uses it to develop the economy and engage in international games, and it is not out of date at all.

When it comes to strengthening the country and enriching the people, the Legalists are the first to recommend Legalists, and among the Legalists, Guan Zhong is the first to start the school! You can imagine how powerful the old man is!

"Mr. Wen Xianggong, Guan Zi's talent is unparalleled in the world and is rare in thousands of years. However, Confucians of all generations have criticized Guan Zhong and are very repulsive of Guan Zi's learning!"

"That's their ignorance and hypocrisy!"

Wen Yanbo waved his hand domineeringly, "Erlang, what is your purpose in supporting the Zuiweng, deciphering the bamboo book anniversary, and restoring the rule of the three generations?"

"Of course, we are to investigate the historical truth and solve the myths of Confucian scholars from all generations, from Confucius and Mencius to all generations. Only by opening up ideas and putting down our burdens can we truly find a way to enrich the country and strengthen the army!"

"Well said!"

Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "It's just that Zuiweng has only done half of it. Although he has cracked the bamboo book anniversary, he still doesn't believe it. Moreover, he has been reading books for his whole life, and he is still the same as Confucius and Mencius in his bones. He can't do it at all because of his confucianism."

Wen Yanbo is like a saint surrounded by auspicious clouds and mists. Every word of his words is thought-provoking... Take the example in the Bamboo Book Annals, which records Shun usurping the throne and seizing power. In the past, Confucian scholars of all generations said that he was abdicated. Do he believe in the Bamboo Book Annals or the Confucian classics of all generations? Was he usurping the throne or abdicated?

In fact, once you enter this debate, it is equivalent to preconceived ideas. It is wrong to admit that the usurpation of the throne is not worthy. No matter how you debate it will be, it will be of little significance.

Even if history is like this, what can it do?

Do you want to apply rouge and powder to the usurper?

Can you live up to your conscience?

If you want to maintain the identity of Emperor Shun, you must erase this section. For example, Li Er, who was too close to his later generations, killed his brother and brother, and launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, which is known to everyone in the world, and cannot be concealed. No matter how much credit he made, it is difficult to cover up the defect of improper position.

Although Liuyi has been founded for many years and Ouyang Xiu has worked tirelessly, it has never caused a real huge wave. This is the reason!

After years of development, the way of Confucius and Mencius has formed a complete discourse system and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Its core is the concept of general moralization of wise rulers and wise ministers, who have virtues, who have no virtues, who have benevolent politics, etc.

When you argue with Confucians, you often fall into the other party's discourse system from the beginning, how can you get a good deal?

It sounds a bit complicated. A more obvious and realistic example is Wang Yangming's mind study in the Ming Dynasty. From the beginning, the impact of mind study on thousands of years of Confucianism was extremely huge. However, in the later years of Wang Yangming, he kept correcting and brought mind study back to the old path of Confucian framework. His famous four sentences were still about good and evil, right and wrong, and could not jump out... No wonder later, the mind study quickly disappeared and could not jump out, and could only cheat himself!

Wen Yanbo said earnestly: "Erlang, let's talk about what you and I have done right or wrong?"

Wang Ning'an pondered: "We are of course right for the country, the people, the people of the world, and the long-term plans for the Han family...but some methods are not bright enough and are easy to make the population more stable!"

"Hahaha!"

Wen Yanbo laughed wildly, "Erlang, what is the difference between your statement and those corrupt scholars' evaluation of Guanzi?"

This was so powerful that Wang Ning'an shivered, changed color in horror, and couldn't help but fall into deep thoughts.

That’s right, Wen Yanbo asked well!

I have been despising Confucianism for so many years and have always hoped to change the way of Confucius and Mencius.

In fact, I was unconsciously trapped in the circle of Confucius and Mencius, and I didn’t realize it. I was really ashamed!

Wang Ning'an dared to underestimate Wen Yanbo's wisdom more and more.

"Mr. Wen, I still have a little doubt. The ways of Confucius and Mencius are not all undesirable. I think it is necessary to take the essence and remove the dross." Before I knew it, Wang Ning'an had already used a tone of asking for advice.

Wen Yanbo shook his head, "Erlang, your words may be right or wrong... I don't argue with you. I just want to ask you, the two saints of Confucius and Mencius, after saying so many things, what are the essence and what are the dregs? How do you choose? Do you still have to divide them according to the standards of Confucian morality? Isn't this equivalent to turning around in the same place?"

"What should Mr. Wen thinks?" Wang Ning'an asked for advice humbly.

"It's very simple, completely overturn the Confucius and Mencius's style! Establish a new branch and form a unique line!" Wen Yanbo said confidently: "When it comes to governing the country, Confucius and Mencius are far inferior to Guan Zhong. Why don't you learn from the two down-and-out literati with the example of success? Is it simply inexplicable?"

Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "We take Guan Zhong as the ancestor and sage. With this book Guan Zi as the foundation, we can play it at will, and re-establish a system again! Our actions in the northwest are for the people of the Song Dynasty and the people of the world. This is right! We are morally perfect and do not need to be criticized! Those who explore land and discover wealth are brave and heroes of the Song Dynasty. Whether they are robbing or robbing, they are all for the good of the Song Dynasty. They are all due to their applause. Everyone should give them applause. They are real heroes and should not be criticized..."

Wen Yanbo's voice echoed in the room. Wang Ning'an shook his head hard and finally recovered from the old guy's magic sound.

I understand, I almost got fooled!

Wang Ning'an didn't think clearly why Wen Yanbo suddenly praised Guanzi and suddenly wanted to set up a new branch to overthrow Confucius and Mencius's way... But when he said this, he suddenly became clear.

In fact, Lao Wen is not as detached and amazing as he said!

Going out to gain gold and pioneering will inevitably be accompanied by killing and robbery, accompanied by intrigue, accompanied by the anger of heaven and people, and the crimes are numerous... Wen Yanbo always feels chill and sweats all over his clothes when he thinks of this.

He wanted to leave a name in history, and what he could not leave was a bad reputation!

But can he change?

No!

Because there is so much land, gold like a mountain is waiting for him.

Not only Wen Yanbo, but almost all scholars in the Song Dynasty faced a problem.

For the sake of immediate benefits, they betrayed what they learned and betrayed the morality in their hearts.

The head and body are inconsistent, one is to the left and the other is to the right.

What should I do?

Is it to give up interests and respect the morality in my heart?

Almost no one can do it!

Then there is only the pursuit of interests, not caring about reputation behind you, even if you are scolded by everyone, you will be willing to do anything!

But the face-saving literati are unwilling to accept it.

As the master of civil servants... Wen Yanbo finally found a unique way after hard thinking... Since interests cannot be given up, since morality is interfering with us, then it might as well change morality. Isn't this a natural thing?

The morals of the past say that robbery is wrong, so the new morals encourage robbery; the morals of the past say that poverty is happy, and the new morals agree with obtaining wealth... In short, all concepts that restrict them from pursuing interests are abandoned!

Thinking of this step, Wen Yanbo felt that he had been sublimated, completely sublimated, and could really become a saint.

Of course, if you want to achieve a science, you must have a legacy.

He found Guan Zhong effortlessly among several ancient sages and wise men.

There is no way, Guanzi is the most pragmatic one among the hundreds of pre-Qin schools!

Wen Yanbo decided to overthrow the way of Confucius and Mencius by affirming Guan Zhong. As long as he is a disciple who believes in Guan Zhong in his later generations, Wen Yanbo is the second sage and will never be criticized. He can let go and someone applauds him. How great is this!

Wang Ning'an guessed Wen Yanbo's despicable thoughts, and he suddenly remembered the so-called Renaissance and ideological enlightenment!

Good good!

The two are so similar!

A group of robbers discovered the new world and began to plunder, kill, ungrateful, and lose their conscience... After doing this, they knew the fault, so they created the Renaissance and whitewashed their robber behavior!

Tell the world that they represent the advanced and civilization. They rob, kill, occupy land, and exterminate the indigenous people. They are all right. You are behind, you are not enterprising, and everything is caused by your own fault!

You might as well ask yourself, what kind of civilization progress can you make with bloody and cruel primitive accumulation?

It's just a self-deception!
