Chapter 238 Refuting Confucianism to rule the country

What?

Is Shang Jun's theory actually a theory of the destruction of the country?

How is this possible?

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, both Cai Jing, He Zhizhong, and the ministers all showed an unacceptable expression of shock.

Song Huizong's face became even more serious, and he couldn't help but doubt the theory of governing the country in all dynasties.

Kong Duanyou was furious because the Confucianism that governs the country now is the product of half of the Analects of Confucius and Shang Jun's Theory. Jiang Chen denies Shang Jun's Theory, which is equivalent to denying the Confucianism of their Kong family in disguise.

So he glared at Jiang Chen with great resentment and said, "Ignorance, what do you know?"

Shang Jun said that there were indeed drawbacks in the past and it was too strict in its implementation. However, since Dong Zhongshu integrated it into Confucianism, it has long become a kind and moral policy. How can the saying of the country be destroyed?”

"Integrate Confucianism? The policy of benevolence and morality?

Humph! Don’t gild the Kong family’s face!

Dong Zhongshu's Confucianism in governing the country was just a half of the Analects of Confucius, which covered Shang Jun's five techniques for controlling the people in the name of benevolence and virtue. In essence, it was simply changing the soup and not changing the medicine.

When you come to your Confucius family, it has become half of the Analects of Confucius that can govern the world. Haha, it’s really self-deception, and it’s extremely ridiculous!”

Jiang Chen looked contemptuous and without hesitation, he tore off the last fig leaf of the Kong family.

He didn't dare to say this before, because that would offend the entire civil servant group of the Song Dynasty and the Confucian students in the world!

But now Song Huizong has long recognized the Li family, and countless wealthy families in Bianjing have become the interests of the Royal Chamber of Commerce. He also has enough strength to protect himself, so there is no need to continue to tolerate it.

He directly handed a bayonet to the Confucianism and fooling the people who had harmed Daxia for thousands of years.

"You...how dare you humiliate and slander me, Congmen?

It's simply not a son!

The demise of dynasties is because the country has tyrant monarchs and treacherous ministers are in power. What is the relationship between our Confucius family's Confucianism?"

Kong Duanyou was angry and embarrassed, and his eyes were red.

“Of course it’s relevant!

In order to dominate the family, your Confucian family has attracted the noble families to help you suppress other theories, and widely publicize the hypocritical ways of benevolence, belittle the Legalists into cruel officials, and suppress loyal ministers and good generals into dissidents.

It makes everyone in the officialdom proficient and self-protection, and is in harmony with the world, only talking about human nature and the so-called benevolence of your Confucius family, which completely loses the binding force of officials and upper-class gentry.

This is the fundamental reason why corrupt officials and officials have been rampant in all dynasties!

To put it bluntly, your Confucian benevolence is just a tool to win over wealthy families and officials, and to maintain the status of your Confucius family as a saint. It will harm the people and the country without any benefit!

If you don’t believe it, go and read the historical books. Which traitor and evil person did not come from your Confucianism? Which dynasty that used Confucianism to govern the country did not perish in the end?”

After Jiang Chen said that, he glanced at Kong Duanyou coldly.

Well--

"Are there any scholars who are officials in the world who come from Confucianism?"

"Of course! Except for you, the monster!"

Everyone's expressions became strange.

Kong Duanyou almost vomited blood and jumped into his feet and said angrily:

"Jiang Chen, you are simply trying to make a fuss! Why don't you mention the loyal ministers and righteous men of our Confucian school?

If you say this, aren’t the civil servants in the court all but you corrupt people?”

Kong Duanyou wanted to pull all the civil officials to the opposite of Jiang Chen, in an attempt to get everyone to support the Confucian sect and suppress the sect.

But Jiang Chen would not give him this opportunity, and shook his head and retorted: "Mr. Kong, you are wrong!

All the civil and military officials of the court were all selected by the masses. They studied Confucianism only to pass the imperial examination and make contributions to the country and the people.

In essence, most people cannot be considered true disciples of Confucianism. Confucianism is just a tool for them to enter the court.

If they all agreed with Confucianism from the bottom of their hearts, respected Confucianism, and believed that Confucianism was a real strategy to strengthen the country, you would not be so old and just a magistrate Fenglang, and you should be in the position of Cai Xiang.

Does the lower official make sense?"

"Uh, you..."

Kong Duanyou was so angry that he shivered, his old face turned red, and he was so ashamed and angry that he was dying of shame.

Cai Jing, He Zhizhong and others also twitched their lips.

Everyone knew that Kong Duanyou was only the sixth-rank dynasty Fenglang, but no one dared to say it, and Kong Duanyou dared not, because it involved the balanced imperial technique of Emperor Huizong of Song.

So, Kong Duanyou was directly killed by Jiang Chen!

But the matter was not over yet. After Jiang Chen said Kong Duanyou silently, he politely to Song Huizong, who had a strange expression, said:

"The official family has said in the ancient Chinese classics that if you want a dynasty to revive, you must have a hundred schools of thought and a hundred flowers bloom! Only in this way can you promote social progress and national prosperity.

Not to mention anything else, the various products of the Royal Chamber of Commerce today are inseparable from the exquisite skills and wisdom of the Mohist masters and Taoist sorcerers.

Therefore, the Weichen pleaded with the officials to allow the Royal Chamber of Commerce to set up the Mojia Technical College to improve the status and treatment of craftsmen, gather talents from all over the world, serve as officials, and create more and better products for the Song Dynasty!”

"Hmph! Improve the status and treatment of craftsmen?

Jiang Chen, the skills of those humble craftsmen are worthy of being called theory? And they also need to establish a college for this? What you said is simply a big deal in the world and the greatest insult to academics!”

Kong Duanyou directly objected loudly, and said with disdain, "I'm afraid that the Mo family members you mentioned can't even write their own names, right? You still have to do some research? Haha, it's really funny!"

Kong Duanyou knew very well how hatred the disciples of various schools of thought were towards the Kong family. If the Mo family members in the world turned over today, Jiang Chen would probably talk to the military and legalists in the next step.

After all those people get up, they will definitely stand on the side of the Li Sect to target the Kong family and the Confucian school, which he absolutely cannot accept.

"Is it funny? Are you qualified to laugh at me?"

Jiang Chen frowned and said coldly: "The Confucianism of your Kong family cannot enrich the people and strengthen the army, two cannot stabilize the country, three is not enough to promote production and make society progress.

What qualifications are there to mock the Mohist school who can change production and create wealth?

In my opinion, the Confucianism of your Confucius family is a barely enough to cultivate sentiment. It is a hypocritical way to govern the country as a way to be an anti-human and anti-social way!"

"you……"

Kong Duanyou was so angry that he stared at him.

"What are you? Did I say this wrong?

Just imagine, if I was not the one who sent books designated by God, I would have been suppressed and become a lowly craftsman because of your Confucianism.

Who is willing to accept this result if your identity is not free, your wife and daughter are bullied, and your descendants are slaves for generations? If you do not change your identity as a craftsman, which craftsman will be willing to contribute to the country and the people?"
