One thousand four hundred seventy-six
It is also different from other schools of thought that go to extremes, and it is not as quiet as Laozi and Zhuang.
Xunzi is a thorough user, the art of emperors and the skills of slaying dragons! This makes the spirit of gods and demons fear Xunzi. If the world is not only the Bai clan, the one who threatens the spirit of gods and demons is Xunzi,
It is not that Xunzi really has the ability to change the sky and the sun and understand the world, but that Xunzi has endless potential, because he agrees with the concept of the Bo family, and because Xunzi created the art of emperors.
At that time, there were no emperors in the world who fought for hegemony. Why did Xunzi create the art of emperors? He did not create it for the princes, but for the emperor who will unify the world in the future. To put it bluntly, the art of emperors is the art of controlling people.
Emperor Gaozu of Han once said that I am better than Zifang (i.e. Zhang Liang, the military advisor of Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang), to stabilize the country, appease the people, provide military pay, and keep food flowing. I am worse than Xiao He.
Leading a million troops to attack the enemy, I am not as good as Han Xin. These three people are all heroes. And I can use them fully, which is the reason for seizing the world!"
What Liu Bang said was the emperor's art. In summary, there are only three points: knowing people and using them well, being able to listen to advice, and having a clear distinction between rewards and punishments!
This is the imperial art summarized by later generations, and it is also the roughest emperor art. The real imperial art is by no means as simple as teaching the emperor to be a wise king. It includes many complex knowledge such as governing the country, strategies, etc.
Just imagine, if Qin Emperor Ying Zheng obtained Xunzi's imperial skills, what would Qin State go like? It would be like a collection of Qin Shihuang and Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, an emperor who knew people well, was good at using them, and had clear punishments, and was also very talented and wise.
How terrible it is.
At that time, Qin Emperor Ying Zheng would abandon all his certainty and become the most perfect king...
Even if it is not as good as the ancient human emperor, the degree to which he governs the world and unites the people will be much different. This kind of hero who is infinitely close to the human emperor is naturally the gods and demons who are unwilling to let go. Xia Qi's gods and demons are unwilling to let go.
What he did is still vivid in his mind, so how could he let an emperor appear in a collusion with the Bo family?
As a result, the fortune of Jiuzhou was circulating. Xunzi was depressed and was unable to succeed. He eventually died in a foreign land and died in an unknown way. It is said that he died suddenly on the way to write a book. However, the record of the Grand Historian records that Chunshen Jun died and Xun Qing was abandoned because of his family.
Lanling Li Si once became a disciple, but he was the prime minister of Qin. Xun Qing was jealous of the country and the country was destroyed and the king was in trouble. He did not follow the great way and was in charge of Wu Zhu. He believed in Xiang and despised Confucians. He was also cunning and cunning, such as Zhuang Zhou and others.
The chaos of customs was aroused, and the rise and fall of Confucianism, Mohism, and moral behaviors were provoked, and they died in a series of tens of thousands of words. They were buried in Lanling.
The death of a great scholar of a generation is not bizarre. It is reasonable and well-founded because of worrying about the world and excessive grief and anger. However, the actual situation was that Qin Emperor Ying Zheng gradually understood after Xunzi's death that Xunzi felt that the academic chaos in the world was in the world and there was no good way to save the world. He investigated Confucianism
,Mo and Taoist actions, successes and losses, and theories were summarized, and they were prepared to improve the art of emperors and handed over to the Qin monarch who unified the world in the future. The new art of emperors was called the dragon-slaying technique, and the dragon was slaughtered.
it goes without saying.
Xunzi suddenly died while writing a book, but the records left behind disappeared. Qin Emperor Ying Zheng once sent people to search for it from many places, but there was no news about it.
However, Xunzi's imperial skills were fully demonstrated in his students Li Si and Han Fei. At that time, Han Fei and Li Si worked in Qin State. His legal views were implemented in the Qin Dynasty and continued the rule of the entire Chinese feudal dynasty until
Now.
This is a good thing for Xunzi, but for Qin Emperor Ying Zheng, it may not be a good thing. This has to start with Li Si.
Li Si became a disciple of Xunzi. After learning the art of emperors, he went west to Qin. Xunzi's art of emperors was fully utilized by Li Si. First of all, he satisfies people's desires, uses bribery and assassination to differentiate and disintegrate people from the six countries, talks about power and abandons morality.
, the praise of Xunzi's "The king does not despise all the people, so he can understand his virtues." Li Si completely tore off the cloak of Confucianism and showed off the sword of Wang Shunzi, which is more bloody than his teacher Xunzi. The second is to make a clear debate
The truth, seized the opportunity, created a career for thousands of years, and established a unified Qin Emperor. The third was to formulate laws, advocate the establishment of county and county system, and implement centralization. Xunzi's imperial skills were realized in Li Si, and it was built from Qin to Qin for hundreds of generations.
The practice of Qin political etiquette is an affirmation of Xunzi's ritual studies. Therefore, later scholars summarized that the fundamental reason for the defeat of the Qin Dynasty in the second generation is not tyranny, but internal struggle.
During the Han Dynasty, Xiao He, based on the "Three Rules Constitutions", referred to the content that was in line with the social situation at that time, formulated a total of nine chapters of the law. This was the beginning of the Han Dynasty's law making. The nine chapters of the Han Dynasty's law were formulated by Xiao He.
, The Qin law was deleted, and the law was more simple. After Xiao He's death, Cao Shen succeeded as prime minister, "Xiao Gui Cao Sui" ruled inaction. By the time of Emperor Wu of Han, various social contradictions were prominent, and Emperor Wu of Han proposed to dismiss
The so-called "art" here is the Confucian art of governing the country, not the entire Confucianism.
It is more appropriate to say that Xunzi's etiquette and law are both descendants of the Legalists, and it seems inevitable to govern the country with emphasis on law.
Xunzi's imperial skills played a great role in the early Han Dynasty. Jia Yi first studied "The Book of Zuo of the Spring and Autumn Period" with Xunzi's disciple Zhang Cang, and later learned imperial skills with Li Si's disciple Wu Gong. The series of reform measures he proposed were all
It is a model of the imperial art and was adopted in the Han Dynasty. Xunzi's imperial art has played an important role from the Warring States Period to the unification of the Qin Dynasty to the revival of the Han Dynasty, and has been used by dynasties in history!
Academic alone, Xunzi's imperial skills were not a problem. Otherwise, they would not have been praised by the Qin Emperor and created two powerful empires. The one with the problem was Li Si!
If you are also a student of Xunzi, you will find many suspicious points by comparing Han Fei and Li Si.
As a student of Xunzi, Han Feizi transformed his nature into falsehood, interpreted Laozi and became the words of the Legalists. Because he called the Legalists a different branch of Taoism, Sima Qian also passed on Laozi and Han Feizi together. Zhang Taiyan, a master of Chinese studies, said:
The academic source is the clearest. Therefore, all dynasties call the king's art of facing the south "Lao and Zhuangzi" "the study of the king" because of the biased face, or the fundamental loss. The king's fortune who was determined to achieve the imperial art was his disciples
