The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2460 Reappearance of the Rainbow Guide

What surprised everyone was that, unlike the previous books, this "Political History" had two versions, one in normal classical Chinese, and the second in vernacular Chinese.

Both books were sent to the Holy Court by Fang Yun, and scholars were allowed to read them with official seals.

After the book was completed, it did not cause any strange phenomena, but some scholars of great Confucianism or above felt that the holy way of Confucianism and the holy way of historians were slightly affected, and seemed to have a tendency to expand, but it was not obvious, just better than the works of ordinary great Confucianism, far inferior to Fang Yun's previous works.

Everyone was very curious and flipped through this "Political History".

The first volume of this book is the political history of the human race, which is nothing new.

It is nothing more than a rehash of the old tune, sorting out the basic operating methods of the country, political system and government offices from the primitive society of the human race to the present. If there is a difference from other similar books, it is that the first volume does not mention the thoughts of various schools, including Confucianism, but only records political matters in an extremely objective way.

However, the second volume is unique because it records the political history of various ethnic groups.

This second volume has firmly attracted the attention of many readers.

Because, in this second volume, readers seem to have discovered a new world.

When reading the second volume of "Political History", they learned that there are so many different political systems in the world, and no country's political system and bureaucracy are exactly the same.

There are many classifications of political systems and political systems in the world.

For example, in a foreign country called Yadi, there is a sage Plato who inspected the world and divided the political systems seen in the world into aristocratic system, meritorious system, oligarchy, people-oriented system and tyranny.

Later, this wise man redefined and divided the political system into three categories, namely one-person political system, minority political system and majority political system.

Among them, one-person political system includes monarchy and tyranny.

Minority political system includes aristocracy and oligarchy.

Majority political system includes people-oriented political system and mob political system.

Like his disciple Aristotle, Plato regarded the majority political system as a backward political system. They both had the "middle way" thought that was very similar to the Confucian doctrine of the mean, believing that whether it was a one-person political system or a majority political system, it would bring disaster to the ethnic group. Only the minority political system such as aristocracy and oligarchy could maintain long-term stability.

In addition, there are many novel classifications in "Political History".

If it is roughly divided according to the country, it can be divided into republics, monarchies, alliances, republics, mass countries, emirates, etc.

In addition to the political system and country types, the book "Political History" also lists some government operation models or ways of serving as national leaders. In addition to abdication and hereditary succession, there are also direct elections or indirect elections.

Only then did everyone know that Shengyuan Continent is now a monarchy. And the book points out that due to the existence of the cabinet, Shengyuan Continent has a clear trend of transitioning to a cabinet system.

This section of content accounts for a very small proportion of the whole book, but it has been read repeatedly by countless readers, and it has even shocked the royal families of various countries.

After reading the whole book, everyone was still unsatisfied.

Because there is nothing profound in this book, it just lists the political system and national models that Fang Yun knows one by one, which is just equivalent to an explanatory introductory reading. No wonder it did not cause much vision.

However, laymen watch the excitement, and experts see the doorway.

Many Confucian and Miscellaneous disciples were amazed by the various systems in this book and began to consider whether those systems are applicable to Shengyuan Continent.

Because the political system of this book is very different from that of Shengyuan Continent, many people only discuss it in secret literary meetings or in letters from friends, and will not participate in these topics on the discussion board.

Some great Confucian scholars even secretly deduced, hoping to contact the new holy way with the content of this book.

Soon, there were voices of opposition.

On the one hand, some Confucianists, especially those who insisted on the supremacy of the monarchy, believed that these were all fabricated by Fang Yun himself. All the saints of the past dynasties traveled around the world and the heavens, but they did not find these. Why did only Fang Yun find them? They believed that Fang Yun was causing trouble for the human race and trying to use this chaotic system to influence the Shengyuan Continent.

Some neutral scholars also stood up and said that if the state system was really changed randomly, it would naturally cause great turmoil and even cause the human race to suffer a catastrophe. However, they also said that at least so far, Fang Yun has not plunged Jingguo into turmoil.

Some scholars also believed that as long as the future of the human race can be better, the change process is a smooth transition, and it will not be interfered by external forces and lead to the destruction of the country, then the human race will slowly improve. The best choice is.

Some scholars even laughed and joked that Jingguo was used as a test field. If the changes were not good, other countries would remember the lessons. If the changes were good, other countries would learn from it.

Another voice of opposition came from the Miscellaneous School.

Many Miscellaneous School scholars believed that Fang Yun was interfering with the Miscellaneous School’s Holy Way, and that the Miscellaneous School scholars should unite to force Fang Yun to leave the court and stop him from taking power. Otherwise, if he continues to cause trouble, the Miscellaneous School’s Holy Way is likely to be polluted.

However, some scholars believed that the Miscellaneous School’s Holy Way did not come out of thin air, but was the result of the continuous expansion of the human race. If Fang Yun could really expand the Miscellaneous School’s Holy Way, it would mean that Fang Yun was on the right track, and the Miscellaneous School’s people should follow the new direction, and should not be fools who cling to the old ways.

This book was sent to Xuanting Bookstore for printing as soon as possible, and it was sold in both classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese.

Almost the next day, this "Political History" began to be sold in various places in Jingguo and major cities in many countries.

For most people, this book is just a knowledge book to increase their knowledge. Not many people have the idea of ​​changing the country after reading it, because in a sense, the most powerful Holy Academy in Shengyuan Continent represents scholars, and the status of the royal families of various countries is far inferior to that of the Holy Academy. No scholar would think that the royal family can really do anything to them, so there is no resistance.

On the day when "Political History" was released, in the Quanyuan where Fang Yun lived, a divine light suddenly soared into the sky, and a rainbow rose from the Holy Academy, spanning countless miles, directly to the Quanyuan, sweeping away a book, and then leaving a faint rainbow shadow, hanging high in the sky, like a bridge to the sky.

The rainbow guide reappeared.

No one knew what Fang Yun had written again, but it did not prevent them from congratulating Fang Yun on the discussion list.

Many scholars also sent books to Fang Yun, and after congratulating him, they asked about Fang Yun's new book.

Just a quarter of an hour later, the Holy Academy Medical Hall announced that Fang Yun's work "On Plague" was recognized by the Medical Hall. After a period of research, it will be arranged for all the medical families in the Holy Yuan Continent to study it.

A few dozen breaths after the Medical Hall announced this, another rainbow bridge appeared in the Holy Academy, landing in the Quan Garden where Fang Yun lived.

Before the previous rainbow bridge completely dissipated, two parallel rainbows appeared in the sky, one bright and one dark.

.

In this book, "本" is occasionally a homophone, which means "主", such as "民本".
