Let’s talk about Liaozhai at the beginning, I scared all the fans on the Internet to death

"Is this time traveling to more than 2000 years ago?"

"Is this okay?"

"Okay, of course."

"Interesting, so interesting."

I saw Jiang Ning enter the stage directly and talk to Li Er from more than 2000 years ago.

Everyone only felt a sense of time and space switching.

Although this seems impossible.

But the work of art itself turns a series of impossibilities into possibilities.

As it is now.

Jiang Ning painted it himself, and such creativity is simply off the charts.

Countless netizens opened their eyes wide and felt as if they were watching a movie, conquered by such creativity.

"Are you a scholar more than 2000 years later?"

Facing Jiang Ning's sudden appearance, Yin Xi naturally didn't believe it.

Although people in ancient times were not as scientific and cultural as we are now.

But how could Yin Xi believe in something that transcended natural phenomena.

Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes."

Yin Xi looked at Li Er.

He wasn't sure.

But looking at Jiang Ning's clothes and hairstyle, they were completely different from those of people at that time.

Li Er was also a little surprised by Jiang Ning's appearance.

But he is an ancient sage after all.

He just thought about it and said to Yin Xi: "There are all kinds of wonders in the world. I think what this little friend Jiangning said may not be false. However, little friend Jiangning, since you said that you are a scholar after more than 2000 years, you must , do you know what happened more than 2000 years later?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes."

Then Jiang Ning added: "The emperor of Zhou divided the kingdoms into feudal states. After entering the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes of the world fought in melee. After a few hundred years, they entered the Warring States Period. The level of melee among the princes in the Warring States Period was even greater than that in the Spring and Autumn Period, until the Qin State emerged and unified the world."

"Qin will dominate the world?"

Yin Xi shook his head: "The Qin State is located in a remote area, and its strength is completely inferior to that of Jin, Chu, Qi, and other vassal states. How can he dominate the world?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said nothing.

If we talk about Qin's unification of the world, it will take several days and nights.

However, Jiang Ning did not speak, but Li Er said: "It may not be impossible for Qin to dominate the world."

Jiang Ning asked: "The Tao can be said, but it is not the Tao. The name can be named, but it is not the same... I hope you can teach me what the Tao is."

Jiang Ning said this.

Yin Xi said excitedly: "The books written by Mr. have just appeared. How do you know the contents of the books? Could it be that you really come from more than 2000 years later."

Jiang Ning didn't say anything.

But obviously.

Yin Xi actually believed it a little.

otherwise.

How to explain this?
Li Er stroked his beard and explained happily: "Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao. There are things mixed together, born in advance of heaven and earth. He can't hear or see, but he never stops. The root. No one knows his name. I reluctantly named him, called Tao."

Yin Xi asked Li Er: "Sir, how can I feel it?"

Li Er replied: "Tao is everywhere, and all things are generated by it and rely on it to grow. We are born in Tao, and from nothingness, we can observe the mystery of Tao. From existence, we can observe the clues of Tao."

Although Hundreds of Surnames is a variety show.

But after each issue of "Hundred Family Surnames" was released, he not only delighted countless viewers, but also learned a series of cultural knowledge.

Also.

With the launch of each issue of "Hundred Family Surnames", he also pushed this program to a height that countless people looked up to.

now.

The fourth episode of "Hundred Family Surnames" directly pushed the entire program to a philosophical level.

of course.

If other programs talk about philosophy.

Maybe everyone doesn’t understand.

Because philosophy has always been a very high-level thing, so high-level that even ordinary people cannot understand it. Even elites have a hard time understanding it.

But now.

By Lear.

Through Li Er's life experience of pursuing Tao, people feel that this philosophy is not that difficult to understand.

Not only is it not difficult to understand.

Everyone just feels that after reading it, their whole soul has been sublimated.

"Sir, Confucius asked you, you said to him that the best thing is like water, what does it mean that the best thing is like water?"

At this time Jiang Ning also raised a question.

In the Tao Te Ching, it can be said that the highest good is like water is the core issue.

Li Er smiled and replied: "Water is good for all things and does not fight for it. It is what everyone hates, so it is close to the Tao. It lives in a good place, has a good heart, is kind and benevolent, speaks good faith, governs well, does good things, and moves at good times." The husband does not fight, so there is no need for you."

"No one in the world is softer than water, and no one who attacks the strong can defeat it, because it is impossible to defeat it easily. The weak overcomes the strong, and the soft overcomes the strong. No one in the world knows it, and no one can do it. This is what the sage said: Accept the filth of the country, This is called the Lord of the State; if the country is inauspicious, he is the King of the World. It is true to say the opposite."

this moment.

Some viewers were delighted to hear it.

"Wonderful, wonderful."

"Li Er said it very well."

"It turns out that this is the Tao, this is the Tao."

but.

There are also people who don’t understand very well.

But it's okay.

Soon someone explained: "Let me explain to you. Don't be offended if the explanation is not good. In fact, Li Er said that water is good at nourishing all things without competing with them. It stays in places that no one likes, so Closest to "Tao". The kindest person is the best at choosing a place to live, his mind is good at keeping calm and unfathomable, he is good at being sincere, friendly and selfless in dealing with others, he is good at keeping his word when speaking, he is good at streamlining the affairs of government, and he is able to govern the country. Well, you can be good at giving full play to your strengths in dealing with things, and be good at seizing the opportunity in your actions. The best people do what they do because of their indisputable virtues, so they have no faults and will not blame others."

"Nothing in the world is softer than water, but no strong thing can defeat it. Therefore, nothing can replace water. Softness overcomes hardness, weak defeats strong. There is no one in the world who doesn't know this, but no one knows it. It can be done. Therefore, the sage said that only one who can bear the country's humiliation can be called the king of the country; only one who can bear the country's disaster can be the king of the world..."

As everyone explained, countless viewers just felt like they had read a heavenly book.

In the Book of Heaven, everything is the best principles of the world.

There are even people thinking about it.

If you understand this heavenly book, can you become an immortal?

"I want to say, who is this Li Er? Who is he?"

"He is Li Er, and by the way, his name is Lao Tzu."

"Sister, you are swearing."

"Without swearing, Teacher Jiang Ning respectfully called Li Er Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu does not mean father, Zi is the honorific title."

"Oh, like Confucius?"

"Correct."

"But Confucius was a saint, and Confucius asked Lao Tzu, what is Lao Tzu?"

"I am also a saint, and may even be at a higher level than Confucius."

of course.

in reality.

Laozi's status is slightly inferior to Confucius.

This is mainly due to the inheritance of Confucianism in later generations for more than 2000 years.

Countless people first accepted Confucianism.

But Lao Tzu’s thoughts.

Not to mention that there is nothing missing in this world.

Even in his previous life, most people may not be able to understand Lao Tzu's thoughts.

It's just that Laozi may not be as good as Confucius in actual status.

But let’s talk about realm.

Laozi's realm is definitely higher than that of Confucius.

This can be seen from Confucius' question to Laozi.

For example, the etiquette adhered to by Confucius is just a trivial way in Laozi's opinion.

He also pointed out that Confucius's etiquette would not be accepted by the current world.

In fact it is true.

Although Confucius was a saint.

But his theory was not accepted by many countries at the time.

Not only was Confucius not accepted, but Confucius' theory was also ostracized by many countries.

It was not until later, that is, after the Han Dynasty, that Confucius' theory became widely disseminated.

……

"Brothers, is there a Tao Te Ching written by Mr. Le Er in reality?"

"I don't know, maybe there is, but it may have been lost. Just like the ancient books such as the Three Tombs and Five Canons, they have all been lost."

"I'll go, it's such a pity."

"I can't help it. However, I think Teacher Jiang Ning started talking about me this time, and I guess she has some clues."

"What do you mean?"

"Perhaps Teacher Jiang Ning has found the only copy of the Tao Te Ching."

"No way, how did you find Teacher Jiang Ning?"

"I can't say it. If I say it again, it will be against the law."

Ok.

Want to say more? See how King Qian's tomb appeared, and you will know how Teacher Jiang Ning's unique copy came about.

The Tao Te Ching may indeed have been lost.

But this kind of lost tradition is just lost now.

is it possible.

There are some unique copies that have not been unearthed in some tombs.

If these large tombs are found, it is possible that the previously lost secrets may be revealed again.

"Director Qiu, this depends on you."

"No, I'm just a soy sauce guy. I'm following Teacher Jiang Ning."

"Did Teacher Jiang Ning tell me which tomb to visit next time?"

"Freeze said."

"Director Qiu, don't worry, we are not recording the program here, you can tell us in private."

"This..."

The three guests on one side also started discussing excitedly.

……

but.

Things like this obviously cannot be said on the show.

After Li Er, Jiang Ning continued the show "Hundred Family Surnames".

Among the people named Li.

After Le Er.

That was Li Kui during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

"Teacher Jiang Ning, who is this Li Kui?"

"Li Kui was a politician in the Wei state during the Warring States Period. He once presided over Li Kui's reform."

"Li Kui's reform?"

for this change.

Jiang Ning just said it, but many viewers started to express their disbelief: "It seems that I have never heard of Li Kui's reform. I have only heard of Shang Yang's reform."

"Yes, is Li Kui's reform more beneficial than Shang Yang's reform?"

Although Jiang Ning didn't see what everyone was talking about.

But Jiang Ning obviously knows the public's psychology.

Yes.

About the reforms in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The most famous one is Shang Yang's reform.

but.

Before Shang Yang's reform, the most famous one was Li Kui's reform.

Or so to speak.

It was precisely because of the success of Li Kui's reform that Shang Yang's reform appeared later.

"There are too many people in the Wei State who have done nothing but earn a fortune. These are all obscene names."

On the stage.

At this time, a majestic old man appeared.

This person is Li Kui.

He called those who had no merit but always ate the royal salary and food, and called them obscene names.

Fornication does not mean fornication.

This refers to receiving salary without merit.

In fact.

He was referring to those aristocratic families.

At the same time, his first priority was to weaken the hereditary system.

Because of the hereditary system, the entire country has become weaker because of the need to support these dignitaries.

At the same time, because of the hereditary system, there is also strong pressure to introduce a series of regulations.

"Don't worry, the country will allocate land to you in the future. We will also give you a guaranteed price for the food you produce."

The actor who played Li Kui on stage continued.

It is not enough to weaken patrimonialism.

If the reform is to be successful, in addition to weakening the hereditary system, we must also work hard on the economic aspect.

At this time, Li Kui had forward thinking.

He uniformly distributed the country's land to farmers, and at the same time also took measures to store grain in later countries.

When the harvest is good, the state will purchase grain from farmers at a guaranteed price.

When the harvest is not good, the state will sell the stored grain to the people at a relatively low price.

After several years of implementing this system, the overall strength of Wei State has undergone a very big change.

But this is far from enough.

Li Kui knows.

These alone are not enough to make Wei become rich and powerful.

In order for Wei State to become prosperous and powerful, there must be a strict law.

then.

However, Li Kui started to compile China's first representative written code, "Fa Jing".

This code protected the success of his reform with a legal status.

It was also because of this code that it solidified the ruling power at that time and ensured the smooth flow of the country's laws.

What made Wei's strength grow by leaps and bounds was the military soldier system introduced by Li Kui.

The best soldiers among his generals were selected as soldiers.

The criteria for selecting warriors are very strict.

First of all, you must put on three pieces of armor, then hold a twelve-stone crossbow, carry fifty arrows on your back, carry three days of rations, wear a helmet on your head, carry a sword, and run a hundred miles in half a day to be selected. .

After being selected, the rewards are also very rich.

For example, the military soldiers' families were exempted from taxes and servitude, and the better ones were rewarded with land and houses.

It is precisely because of this system of military soldiers.

The soldiers of Wei State became the strongest soldiers during the Warring States Period.

They once defeated Qin's 5-strong army with 50 soldiers, which shocked the world.

"kill."

"kill."

"kill……"

Although there are not 5 soldiers on the stage.

but.

Dozens of strong, physically fit actors held guns and shouted murderous sounds...

Countless spectators only felt waves of murderous aura passing through them.

"So strong."

"Only now do I understand why Wei was so powerful at that time."

"It turns out that this is all because of Li Kui."

"It turns out that our surname, Li, actually hides such a big BOSS."

Countless viewers named Li were extremely excited.

They originally thought that Jiang Ning might refer to those emperors as Li.

For example, the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shiming, Li Longji...etc.

These are all extremely famous emperors, and there is something to be said about them.

but.

Jiangning didn't talk about an emperor.

Let’s talk directly about Li Er, Li Kui...

Although everyone has never heard of these two people.

But looking at their stories, they found that the stories of Li Er and Li Kui were no worse than those of the emperors.

……

The show continues.

Just a pity.

Although Li Kui pioneered Li Kui's reform and made the Wei country strong and powerful rapidly.

But Li Kui accidentally killed a person once.

Originally this was nothing at the time.

As the Prime Minister of the Wei State, Li Kui killed a lot of people directly, not to mention accidentally killing them. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was nothing at all.

But Li Kui didn't think so.

He knows deeply.

The reason why Wei State is strong is because of the reforms he implemented.

The reason why the reform was successful was that everyone was abiding by the laws of Wei.

If such a law is only effective for ordinary people and not for privileges, then Wei will not be strong.

finally.

Li Kui wrote a suicide note and committed suicide to commit suicide. (End of chapter)
