Yu Yue muttered to herself: "However, Liu Yu's idea of ​​equality for everyone sounds much better than being a Buddhist. At least you can drink and eat meat, marry a wife and have children, and you don't need to practice hard. Anyway, if you If it is up to me to choose, I still want to choose Liu Yu's set, so that I have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, so that my children may enter public schools in the future, be able to read and write, and have a better prospect than myself. He Le Why not?"

The black robe smiled slightly: "But you have overlooked one point. The hopes Liu Yu gave to the people must be military achievements, such as being appointed as marquises on the battlefield. To achieve this, wouldn't it be to kill people and set fires to destroy the country? Liu Yu said that this is a credit and the people are willing to follow, but if it is a Buddhist theory, it is a crime. After death, you will go to Abi Hell, and in the next life you will become animals, flowers and plants, and be slaughtered. If everyone If you believe in Buddhism, do you think there are still people who are willing to fight and kill?"

Yu Yue slapped herself on the head suddenly: "High, it's really high. I finally understand why you said that this Buddhist theory is the best way to break Liu Yu's theory. It really sounds impeccable."

Speaking of this, Yu Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, and a trace of doubt flashed across his face again. He looked at the black robe and said, "But, didn't the Hou Qin also send troops to fight? Isn't it also killing people and committing crimes? Yao Xing believed in Buddhism, After the Qin people, the soldiers and civilians believed in Buddhism, so they took up swords and guns, came to kill people and fight wars, what happened?"

The black robe smiled slightly: "That's punishing evil and promoting good. Before Hou Qin sent troops, Kumarajiva, the national teacher of Hou Qin, would perform rituals and pray for the soldiers who went out. You must know that this battle is not for the purpose of winning the war. It is a good deed to help the people of the Jin Dynasty to protect their homes and the country, or to plunder the people and enslave them. It is well known in the world that the Tianshi Dao is cruel and tyrannical, and the Jin army is powerless to resist. These common people fell into the hands of Tianshidao, and they were forced to join Tianshidao to fight, and if they refused, the whole family would be killed. Tell me, is this the behavior of demons and ghosts in Buddhism?"

Yu Yue laughed: "According to the theory of Buddhism, these people have committed sins in their previous lives, and they have to pay back in this life. All kinds of disasters, misfortunes, pains, especially military disasters, aren't these karma elimination actions?"

The black robe said calmly: "Buddhist theory is not as simple as you think, just like Confucianism, it emphasizes that the king is the son of heaven and replaces the herdsmen, so he can have unlimited power and can kill everyone, but it also leaves a hole. It is the five elements of destiny, and heaven and man respond to these. If the king is tyrannical, he is exhausted and will be abandoned by heaven, and a new son of destiny will appear to replace the old monarch and establish a new dynasty. Therefore, in Confucianism, if it is Jie, Zhou Such a tyrant will be abandoned by heaven in the end, and the result of helping the tyrant is to perish with him. Therefore, the Confucian theory has the saying that those who understand current affairs are heroes, which is for the courtiers to abandon and leave the doomed regime in troubled times. Turning to the Ming Lord and creating this theoretical statement is not considered a betrayal.”

Yu Yue nodded: "Yes, this set of Confucian theories is really powerful. It can perfectly explain the timing of the replacement of old and new, and how to maintain the way of loyalty to the emperor. If there is no theory of destiny and five elements, then all gentry and gentry, Those who eat the imperial salary have to accompany the old dynasty to the end. In the end, in the process of establishing the new dynasty, those gentry who rose up to lead the army are also traitors. established by the faithful.”

Speaking of this, Yu Yue laughed: "I have done a lot of this kind of talk, talking about the evolution of Confucianism, in fact, when Confucius was the first, there was no such thing as being ordered by heaven and having unlimited monarchy, because at that time the Emperor Zhou He has become a puppet, and he can hardly command any of the princes. Even Confucius himself did not serve as the emperor of Zhou, and did not serve the state of Lu for a long time. Instead, he took his disciples to tour the countries. Going from the state of Lu to the state of Wei, the state of Song, these places are not disloyal, nor can you talk about treason."

"So scholars in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were very free. They could go to other countries at will and serve the monarchs of other countries. There was no accusation of infidelity or betrayal. Like Shang Yang, he was originally a Wei. He went to Wei State to be a servant of the Communist Party, and later went to Qin State to achieve great success, and he gained his great reputation only after defeating Wei State. Qin, brought the enemy army back to defeat the Jin army, that is

Undoubtedly an act of treason and disloyalty. "

"However, after Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms, unified the world, and established the Qin Dynasty, the situation changed. The previous weak and puppet Zhou Tianzi became the Qin Shihuang who had great power in the world, and the enfeoffment system became a county. The county system, the guards in various places, and the chiefs are no longer hereditary princes and nobles, but officials appointed by the Emperor Qin, who can be withdrawn and transferred at any time. So in the Han Dynasty, the great Confucian Dong Zhongshu formulated the unlimited monarchy and was ordered by the sky. This set of theories ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ has greatly strengthened the centralization of power, saying that the emperor in this world is the Son of Heaven, who replaces the herdsmen of heaven, emphasizing the way of loyalty and filial piety, and taking Confucius' theory of respecting the king and fighting barbarians a big step forward."

"However, Dong Zhongshu also left behind the theories of the replacement of the five elements and the transfer of the destiny. Although they were not accepted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at that time, they became emphasized by the Confucians of later generations. We, the black hands of Qiankun, want to act under such theories. The way to limit the power of the monarch is not to allow the tyrant to control the power of the world, kill the nobles wantonly, and bring disaster to the world. If the tyrant is a disaster to the world, then get rid of him and prevent him from harming others. This is great loyalty to the world, because This world belongs to the people of the world, not the world of an emperor, if the desire of the emperor goes against the needs of the people of the world, then he is an idiot and should be eliminated!"

The black robe laughed, and even clapped his hands lightly: "Not bad, not bad, Yugong's clear talk and debate skills are really powerful. It seems that you have often discussed these issues with Confucian scholars. In the end, what you discussed The result is that power cannot be concentrated on one person, but a group of people, the monarch and his ministers, rule the country collectively, this is the reason for the world of the family, right.”

Yu Yue nodded triumphantly: "That's right, that's right, Lord Heipao, how do you think the Buddhists explain this? If all living beings are equal, why should there be a king to rule and manage? Disasters and wars? Let the people not resist and face these disasters on their own, isn’t it eliminating karma and accumulating virtue? Why does the Buddha need to save all sentient beings?”
