Chapter 429
"Are the laws rules?" Xiao Xian asked seriously.
Han Feizi suddenly had a huge row of bookshelves behind him.
"A rule is a rule, and a law is a law, and the two have the same name and different name, but the origin is not the same. Han Feizi said.
Xiao Xian touched his chin and pondered Han Feizi's words repeatedly.
In the end, he said: "The younger generation doesn't understand!"
Han Feizi smiled and said: "The so-called rules are a means of restraint in the minds of the emperor's courtiers and the people.
Ideological confinement can prevent the vast majority of panic from occurring.
Only by unifying the rules of ideology can a country be more prosperous.
The law is a constraint on the behavior of kings, courtiers, and people.
Knowing the law, abiding by the law, and understanding the law is not only applicable to ordinary people, but also to powerful ministers and kings.
When everyone can act in accordance with the law, the country will have long-term peace and stability, and it will be able to last for a long time!" Han
Feizi is the master of the pre-Qin Legalist thought, and the idea of the rule of law created by him has absolute consolidation power for the planning of the historical environment in the turbulent times at the end of the Warring States Period.
At the end of the Warring States Period, the ritual system suffered serious damage, and at this critical moment, Han Feizi's idea of the rule of law was born.
It is a traditional legal culture created by the collision of the three ideas of "law, art, and potential".
The literary achievements of the other side made outstanding contributions to the governance of the country at the end of the Warring States period.
Therefore, Xiao Xian didn't understand what Han Feizi said just now, but he could deeply feel how great the idea of governing the country contained in it was.
Xiao Xian bowed respectfully and said modestly: "Please also ask the prince to explain the truth in detail for the younger generation, and solve the doubts in my heart
!" Han Feizi said: "You yourself have the talent to govern the country, and you must have your own understanding of what I said, so you don't have to be too modest!"
Xiao Xian never answered, he knew how big the gap between his wisdom and the great men of the times was.
Although these people have a good opinion of him, he should also know that some gaps cannot be made up by a few praises.
Han Feizi said: "Rules and laws complement each other, and neither is indispensable!
Use rules to restrain people's thoughts, and use laws to restrict people's behavior.
When the two have created the benefits of the era, there is a need for something else to redefine and sublimate the pattern of this era!"
Xiao Xian's eyes suddenly became dazed, and he didn't open his mouth to disturb the other party.
Han Feizi's eyes suddenly froze, and he slowly spat out in a cold voice: "It's
reform!" "Reform!"
"That's right, reform is the main means to create history, and laws and rules are the basis of reform."
Only reform can create a new world, reform will make the rule stronger, and the evolution of history will not be replaced by any one person.
Even if that person is the supreme position in the world, even if that person has monstrous authority, he cannot stop the will of the times!
The past of human society is the charter to be used for reference in the present, and the present is the main path to create the future, and only the future is the blueprint of the world drawn in the dream.
But it is even more difficult to do these steps, and I don't know how many lives it will take to achieve it, so why should I sacrifice a mere one?"
Han Feizi said calmly and unhurriedly, and said it freely and extraordinarily.
It's as if he didn't take his life seriously at all.
And in his heart, perhaps there is something greater and more important than life.
That's the world.
As Xiao Xian in the era of peace, he can't understand the spirit of sacrifice and dedication no matter what.
It is only in the war years that the same empathetic understanding can be achieved through the efforts of others.
"I live in an era of peace, my country is free of war, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there may be some pressure on some things, but we are well fed and warmly clothed, we do not have to flee, we do not have to go hungry, we do not have to endure the suffering of war!
This is because what you are experiencing is the change in
the foundation of the world and the trend of the pattern! And my time has gone beyond the foundation and is moving towards a more macroscopic and great development.
But because of that, we're going to lose something.
Xiao Xian said solemnly
, "Even if we understand the will of our ancestors, we will have tears in our eyes when we see their sacrifice.
However, after all, the young people of our generation
in the new era have not experienced the baptism of war! We still cannot guarantee that we will not have the courage that we burst out in the era of peace and dare to take up arms to defend our country when war is coming!
The mentality that we have not experienced the devastation of war and the smoke of gunpowder will always be naïve and will not grow up!"
