Chapter 697 Legalism (first update)
The capital of the Qin State was not Xianyang, which everyone was familiar with later, but a very unfamiliar word-Yong.

After the establishment of the state of Qin, the capital was moved many times, and the last capital was Xianyang.

Now their country is Yong.

Qin State, the capital of the country.

The sun has not yet risen, and there is only a hazy light between the sky and the earth.

A young man in his thirties was walking hurriedly on the street.

Yingli's demeanor is not noble, and he can greet people warmly when walking among a crowd of common people, without appearing superior to others.

Even if he has a surname that only the royal family of Qin has.

This is related to the founding tradition of Qin State.

They did not accept the strict etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty, the various hierarchical systems were not unimaginably strict, and they did not have the strong chain of contempt in the Central Plains.

Never strictly claiming to be orthodox, claiming to have accepted the inheritance of the Zhou Dynasty, the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty, and the corresponding hierarchy.

They lack this understanding, and the etiquette, customs, culture and corresponding official position system are not the same as those who accepted the inheritance of the Zhou Dynasty in the Central Plains.

To put it in a more popular way later, their Three Views are somewhat different from those of the people around the Zhou Dynasty and those in the Central Plains.

Just like Tang Xuanming's hometown, the Lighthouse Country, is different from Tang Xuanming's country in many ways.

Yingli was walking fast, and he had already reached his destination before the gentle morning sun had completely covered the earth, but even so, there were still many people who were earlier than him.

Dozens of people had already arrived in the remote square of the city, and Yingli could be regarded as the last one.

After saying hello to his familiar companions these days, Wang Qi said a little excitedly: "Hurry up, hurry up, I thought you were too late, the sage is going to give a sermon."

Ying Li smiled, looked around unobtrusively, and found that there were still crowds gathering around, and his heart sank.

He came here only five or six days after listening to sermons. When he first came here, there were not many people gathered here, but only a dozen or so people.

But as more and more sermons are preached, more and more personalities gather here.

In just a few days, the number of people listening here has reached hundreds every day, which is a terrifying speed.

"Being able to be called a sage really has transcendental abilities."

Yingli heaved a sigh of relief and looked up to the high platform.

There was a young man in a white robe. The young man had a handsome face and a faint breath of mortals. His whole body seemed to carry a different kind of immortal energy, as if he would fly away at any time.

The most striking thing is the young man's gaze, which is as deep and vast as a galaxy, which seems to contain the mystery of the entire universe.

"when!"

A person standing by the side tapped the bronze bell next to him lightly, and the crowd immediately fell silent.

Tang Xuanming's calm voice on the high platform rang in everyone's ears.

"...Today I'm going to talk about power. The world is in turmoil and wars are constantly raging. Among all living beings, there is a general trend of heaven and earth..."

Yingli's heart skipped a beat. The Dharma he heard a few days ago already made him deeply admired, like seeing an immortal.

Different from these ordinary people, as a real high-ranking official in the Qin State, he can deeply comprehend the leadership of the law for all living beings in the world and understand its profound meaning.

Orders and prohibitions, strict laws and regulations are things that all princes are pursuing.

The Zhou Dynasty was gradually destroyed, and anyone with lofty ideals can understand that the Zhou Dynasty's set is no longer suitable for the current world.

But it suffers from the fact that no new law has emerged.

The world is in chaos, and the princes are fighting endlessly.

It is difficult to have an existence like the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.

Everyone is groping in the dark, longing for a way forward.

"In terms of law, breaking the law and committing the same crime as the common people is simply a big joke to sway the world and shake the foundation of the country, but let all the divisions and farmers concentrate on farming, if there is far more harvest than others, and there are effective methods , you can be promoted to one level, and you can be promoted to a noble.

Soldiers concentrate on serving, and if they win the first place in the enemy, they will be promoted to a noble. It is really useful. "

Most of the people who gathered here were commoners, and Qianshou, because Tang Xuanming's Dao and Law opened another door for them.

They saw the path to ascension.

If he preached in the countries of the Central Plains, Tang Xuanming would definitely be judged as a demon and be thrown out of the territory directly.

Because that is shaking the interests of the nobles of various families, and even shaking the foundation of the country.

But in the state of Qin, the ancestors of the state of Qin used their military exploits to establish the country and regained a large area of ​​land that was difficult to recover in the Zhou Dynasty.

In this piece of land, there is a bloodline of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, and enshrining kings and worshiping ministers.

"...The powerful, why, the general trend of the world, the aspiration of the people..."

Yingli just listened to the beginning, and his heart was chilled. Facing Tang Xueming's indifferent eyes, who seemed not to put the whole world in his eyes and seemed to have the world in his eyes, he was a little shocked, and looked around at Qianshou who was still ignorant. , he thought in horror.

"I can't let him continue talking. This is not something that ordinary people can hear. This is the way of kings. This is something that only the king of a country can hear. It contains the mysteries of heaven and earth."

Tang Xuanming preached calmly, feeling the violent fluctuations of more than a dozen people in the audience, he smiled lightly in his heart.

He knew, these people understood.

Legalism itself is dedicated to serving the emperor, and the three methods of law, art, and power are all dedicated to the emperor.

It is prepared for the emperor to herd the world.

In later generations, this may be rotten knowledge, and few people are even willing to learn it, because it is useless.

But thousands of years ago, when this wisdom was just beginning to germinate, and the flowers of wisdom of various schools of thought had not yet begun to collide, to be able to say these words and penetrate the general trend of the world was already the top wise man of this era .

Legalist Han Feizi and the culmination of Legalism left behind theories that still affect countless people today.

"And now, Han Feizi's wisdom belongs to me, and I am Han Feizi."

Tang Xuanming smiled lightly, and then began the final content of today's lecture.

Dharma book!

A group of people listening to Tang Xuanming's preaching also noticed this and became excited.

Many ordinary people in this era could not understand the legalism taught by Tang Xuanming at all, which is normal.

The Mohist school was the most prominent school in the pre-Qin period. During the entire pre-Qin period, the Mohist school was the one who was the number one among all schools of thought.

Because his theories, universal love and non-gong itself are aimed at all ordinary people.

It is itself preached to the mass of beings.

Popular among ordinary people.

And Tang Xuanming's Legalism never needs to explain anything to all beings in the world. It is like a chain of shackles, and it is like an invisible net that exists between the world and everyone is included in it, but there is no way to truly understand it. touch.

It is invisible, but it can move the most terrifying power in the world.
