20. Liu Taichu's counterattack

"The winner has been decided, the truth has been clear. If you continue, wouldn't it be arguing!" The emperor felt that Liu Pi had entered the difficult-to-fight link at this time, and couldn't help but get angry. He patted the handrail of the bed and stood up.

Long Yan was furious, and everyone around him apologized in unison.

But Liu Pi stood in the center of the two pavilions without any fear. Then he covered his chest and inhaled his breath. This was a quirk of him. He had this symptom since he swallowed the relics in the Ximing Temple in Taofen Penthouse...

When the situation stabilized, Liu Pi exhaled and his whistle was shaking. Then he quickly asked Li Chun: "Your Highness, the prince, said that the county system is good. The examples given are all Chinese language, Han, Wuhan Xuan, but Pi's doubts are impossible to explain. Because Pi asked why Qin died in the second lifetime? It is definitely not Han."

"..." Li Chun began to think temporarily.

Liu Zongyuan looked at Liu Pi and thought to himself, could it be...

"Just just now, Liu Zi said that the people rebelled against the court, not the county, so why did the people rebel against the court? That's right, Jia Changsha's articles clearly stated, because Qin benevolence and righteousness were not used, and the attack and defense were different." Liu Pi seemed to burst out all of a sudden, and he did not give Liu Zongyuan and Li Chun a chance to counterattack. "This situation is what Liu Zi said. Qin had a world of only a few years, but he enslaved the people madly, used cruel punishments to intimidate them, and used county officials to exploit the wealth of the people, so as to serve the emperor alone, build palaces, build tombs, and even the people holding hoes, the sinners who were exiled, and the heroes of Guandong, all united to destroy the Qin world. Liu Zi said that the feudal princes could not be saved, so the county could not be saved. Why? Is it that the county and county managed those who were responsible for the people.

Officials, don’t you know that the people have reached the point of being unable to bear it? No, because the Qin system does not give the county decision-making power, and those ministers under the Qin system who should have the power to make decisions and should help the emperor take charge of others have lost their original intentions in order to welcome the emperor. Then even if the county chiefs have good ideas and good ways, they can instinctively save Li Yuan in the upside down, but they have no power to be granted by the court to implement them. They know that it is wrong but cannot be changed, and they know that it is right but cannot be implemented. They watch the people resent the lower, but the county is afraid of the superiors. The prince of Guangling said that the enfeoffment of the princes will make the people harmed by the princes and the court is unable to change. Then, under the county system, the emperor harms the people but the county is also unable to change, so that the water finally collapses, will it be ignored?"

"Since the world belongs to the emperor, how could the emperor not cherish the people, just like cherishing his own property?" Li Chun asked angrily.

"Isn't this the same thing for the princes? Is there a fundamental difference between the family and the family? The Prince of Guangling only talks about the affairs of Chinese, literary, military affairs, but avoids the affairs of Hu Hai and Sui. He only talks about the goodness of his own family, but he hides the goodness of the princes. This is not a Taoist rule that will never be easy for generations, this is the real improper meaning!" Liu Pi's words made Li Chun extremely angry, but he could not say any refutation.

Liu Zongyuan had to say something, and Liu Pi immediately said to him: "The First Emperor abolished feudalism and carried out counties and counties. He wanted to own the world in his own heart, but he could pass on his descendants to the king for generations. Liu Zi believed that Zulong was selfish as a public service, and this was not only a matter of politics but also a reason for the incomplete system. Liu Zi believed that the public was not only a matter of politics, but also a reason for the incomplete system. Liu Zi thought that it was difficult to understand that it was not a biased view. Liu Zi laughed at the people of the world who pursued the rule of the three generations to be muddy and did not transform, but Liu Zi himself was superstitious about the Qin system without any mistakes. How could it be a contradiction!"

In Luoxia Pavilion, the emperor on the rope bed was so angry that he shivered all over.

But Liu Pi didn't care at all. He continued to pursue and said, "Liu Zi's argument shows that he did not know the advantages and disadvantages. He only saw the disadvantages of feudalism, but did not see the interests of feudalism, but did not see the interests of counties, but also the disadvantages of counties. When the Yan thieves were in chaos, Liu Zi only saw the harm of Emperor Xuanzong's ordering the sons to go out of the cabinet and guard the towns, but he did not see that the Yan thieves were finally pacified by relying on the power of the vassal Daofang Town. Now, in this world, the Western Fan cavalry was densely spread across the suburbs, and the remnants of Anshi were in chaos, because the emperor could give up

The idea of ​​abandoning the idea of ​​owning the world, abolishing the evil and appointing wise men to control important places, so that they can eliminate the Diyi and quarrels, quell the civil strife, and revival is hoped. Liu Zi also said that feudalism is not the intention of the saint, but is the power to be used. However, King Wu was granted a different surname before he got off the car, and Duke Zhou priested his second uncle and built relatives, and even the Jingtian, schools, patriarchal law, military and political affairs. What is not the intention of the saint? In fact, whether it is feudal or well field, the saint's profound meaning, actually has only one goal, that is, peace of the world, which does not conflict with the 'power' mentioned by Liu Zi."

"During the Tangwu period, there were 3,000 princes, so they could only be feudal; by the Zhouwu Revolution, there were still 800 princes, so they could only be feudal; by the Qin period, there were no princes, so they could be established to unify the country, which shows that if the trend is like this, why force the rules of the ancestors?" Liu Zongyuan refuted.

"Liuzi only talks about his ancestors, why not talk about the present world, why not talk about the future generations?"

"How dare Liu Zi be a sage? He will never talk about the present and future generations."

"What are sages? Sages are people who dare to open up the world and advocate their own self-proclaim. In Liu Zi's literary theory, it only says that under the feudal system, the princes took the inheritance as the reason, so they did not let the sages rule, so that the sages could not be independent. According to foolish opinions, at that time, sages could still travel around the countries, retreat and even accept children and establish family corpses. Although they could not be independent, they could at least be self-evident. Therefore, we can still respect them as teachers after a hundred generations. However, the county system was the county system.

Next, if you take officials as your teacher, the world only follows the will of one person and only follows the words of one person, how can you talk about the return of sages? I asked Liu Zi, if Confucius and Mencius were born in counties and counties, they were not ranked in the imperial examinations, and their surnames were cramped, and they would be too late to show themselves, so how could they talk about self-reliance? Liu Zi only said that sages had the wisdom to follow the trend, but did not admit that sages had the courage to open up the heavens. They were not the intention of sages, but they also said that there were no sages today, wouldn't it be awkward?"

Liu Zongyuan couldn't answer.

The emperor's heart gradually became silenced and worried.

"That Yi Liuzi's opinion can only surrender in the face of the situation. So please tell me how the current situation is?" Liu Pi began to touch the core of the debate.

Not only Liu Zongyuan, but everyone in Luoxia Pavilion was shocked.

The current situation is very objective: the emperor completely relies on many Fangzhens that are loyal to the court, such as Jiannan, Huaiyang, Fengxiang, Xingyuan, etc., to solve internal and external troubles. The emperor is definitely not at the level of Qin Shihuang. He cannot command the world to refuse, let alone reply to the county system. This is the real situation. If Liu Zongyuan forcibly denies this, then he will go against his own view of "going with the flow" and will only fall into the trap of logical contradictions and be chased by Liu Pi.

Now, Liu Zongyuan was speechless. He sighed leisurely. He understood that behind Liu Pi, there were more than one expert in giving guidance, and he had formed an extremely mature theory. Although he was very arrogant and talented, he could not help but admit that the other party adopted the strategy of luring the enemy into depth and completely grasped his flaws.

"So please do doctor Liu. Both counties and feudalism have good and bad things, and the political system needs to be reformed to follow the general trend. So what should I do?" Liu Zongyuan is more interested in this now.

"The political system is not something you can say!" In Luoxia Pavilion, the emperor could no longer bear it, and became angry and slapped the table.
