Chapter 940 The Prince’s Teaching
Kou Feng's words made Jiang Wan speechless for a long time. However, he did not want to deny Kou Feng, but because he had thought about this issue for the first time in so long.
Rich, so I am peeped.
Therefore, when Chu State is strong, it is necessary to eliminate the weak around it as much as possible. This is Your Majesty’s basic strategy, and a sense of enlightenment arose in Jiang Wan’s heart.
"I understand." Finally, Jiang Wan bowed to Kou Feng and said.
"Well, then go down and hire some officials with lower abilities, but the etiquette is better to teach them Chuxue, remember, Confucianism." Kou Feng said solemnly.
Kou Feng planned to spread the Confucian theories of the ten southern countries, not because Kou Feng did not value Confucianism, but because it was passed on to the Legalists, the straitors, the Mohists and the like, which would only strengthen the enemy country.
Confucianism is a theory that cultivates the mind and nature, which has a vast significance, but it is relatively weak in governing the country.
"No." Jiang Wanyingnui said.
Immediately, the two talked for a few words, and Jiang Wan stood up and said goodbye.
"It's really a long way to go."
After Jiang Wan left, Kou Feng continued to sit for a moment and sighed. The more he walked, the more he was, the burden became bigger and bigger. It was not just a battle for hegemony.
We are already looking at the barbarians around us with the eyes of the entire Central Plains.
"Come on, let's set up the Jiaofang Hall."
After sighing, Kou Feng quickly calmed down his mood and ordered loudly.
The Jiaofang Hall is the bedroom where the queen lives.
The Chu Palace is still simple, but it has already taken shape in all aspects. For example, the Queen Mother Gan is called Yongning Palace and lives in Yongning Palace.
Kou Feng lived in Zhengde Palace, which was owned by the Jiaofang Hall where Queen Cai Da lived.
Because there are many peppercorns, this name was only given in the early Han Dynasty. Kou Feng directly followed the name of the palace from the early Han Dynasty.
"promise."
An escort outside the door responded and immediately went down to prepare the chariot.
A moment later, Kou Feng boarded the chariot and headed towards the Jiaofang Hall.
Kou Feng came to Jiaofang Hall for a moment, and wanted to come over to see Cai Da and Kou Chang.
However, when Kou Feng arrived at the Jiaofang Hall, he was surprised to see Kou Chang reading Han Feizi.
Jiaofang Hall, in the main hall.
Kou Feng was kneeling in the upper position, and Kou Chang was just sitting in this position to study. At this moment, Cai Da was kneeling beside Kou Feng, while Kou Chang was kneeling down.
Kou Feng looked at the bamboo slips piled up on the table and looked around casually. They were all Han Feizi.
In the State of Chu, the Book of Chu has basically been popularized among officials and poor gentry. Kou Feng was the King of Chu, and of course there were Book of Chu.
However, there are still many bamboo slips in Koufeng's palace.
Some of them were left by Kou Feng when he was studying, and Kou Feng took it seriously. Some of them were annotations from famous artists. Kou Feng looked at it and found that Han Feizi was annotated by Xu Shu back then.
This is not found in the Chu Book on the market.
Kou Feng looked at the bamboo slips on the table and was a little dazzled. At the beginning, he worked hard under Xu Shu's tent in anticipation of rising. Now, his son has already started studying.
After sighing for a while, Kou Feng quickly turned his attention back to the present.
After looking at Kou Chang who was kneeling in front of him obediently, Kou Feng suddenly felt a little guilty. It turned out that this son had already been enlightened.
I have already started to study books like Han Feizi.
I have really ignored a lot of troops when leading the troops all year round.
"How long have you been reading Han Feizi?" Kou Feng felt guilty for a moment, then raised his head and asked Kou Chang.
"You have been reading Han Feizi for three months," Kou Chang replied. His mouth was clear and he was not timid at all.
After hearing this, Kou Feng turned around and gave Cai Da an admirable look, which was a good enlightenment. You should know that Kou Chang is only over six years old now, but he can already read Han Feizi.
And it was three months ago.
"Then tell my father what do you understand." After looking at Cai Da with admiration, Kou Feng turned around and asked Kou Chang kindly.
"Han Fei explained a lot in the book, but the ministers felt that the way to be a king is just reward and punishment. As long as the reward and punishment are clearly distinguished, the generals can serve and the soldiers can do their best."
Kou Chang raised his fist and replied, his words were shocked, but they contained in incomparable confidence.
This kid is very smart.
Kou Feng looked at Kou Chang again with appreciation. This book of Han Feizi is the highest achievement of the Legalist theory. It contains a lot, but the most important thing is reward and punishment.
Only rewards and punishments cannot be used by others.
If the right to reward is lent to someone under the jurisdiction, the ministers will attach more to someone. If the right to punishment is lent to someone, the ministers will be more afraid of someone.
If all rewards and punishments are lent to one person, then the king will basically be finished.
Han Feizi's entire theory is advising emperors to consolidate their power, power, use power, skills, power, power, and power to consolidate their status and govern the country.
As long as you pay attention to these two words, you will be a qualified king of future generations.
Cai Da's eyes flashed with joy. As the queen, she was very qualified. She sat gracefully and elegantly, with aura and a very dedication.
He only occasionally attends important things with Kou Feng, such as offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, etc. He usually lives in the deep palace and educates Kou Chang.
However, people are selfish.
Of course, Cai Da also has it. Her selfishness is to allow Kou Chang to firmly take up the position of crown prince. In the former Han Dynasty, most of the crown princes were abolished.
The cause is that the prince does not look like the emperor.
Such as the deposed crown prince Liu Rong during the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, and Liu Ju during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, are examples of the deeds of the son who was abolished because his personality was not like his father.
Kou Feng has led troops abroad all year round and is considering national affairs more often. He has no time to pay attention to these, but Cai Da, as his mother, has already begun to prepare for the future.
He vowed to teach his son Kou Chang as his character and character is like Kou Feng. Therefore, when Kou Chang was enlightened, Cai Da did not allow him to learn simple things, nor did he learn Confucianism, military strategists, etc., but only let Kou Chang learn from Han Feizi.
Cai Da is happy that Kou Chang was able to get Kou Feng's affirmation. Kou Feng suddenly asked, "What does Wang'er think of Confucianism?"
"The Confucian son has never read it, but after his mother said that Confucianism is the way of benevolence and forgiveness, and sometimes it is too kind to women." Kou Chang replied.
It was true. A sigh flashed in Kou Feng's eyes, and he was also a little grateful.
From the beginning, Kou Feng discovered Cai Da’s selfishness. However, in Kou Feng’s opinion, Cai Da took the matter too simply.
The queen did a good job, but she was no different from an ordinary mother when she treated her son. She hoped to get her father's recognition and inherit everything about her father.
This is true for ordinary people, but in his Kou clan, it becomes a little pale.
Learning from Han Feizi is fundamentally about governing the country, not simply inheriting the family business. A mother should also teach a qualified crown prince, not a simple son.
The reason why Kou Feng sighed was that his son went a little bit off the ground. If he continued, it would be difficult to deal with. Fortunately, he discovered it too early.
It was only three months since I read Han Feizi, which means I didn’t go into it. It can be corrected. Moreover, this son is also very smart. If he teaches him a famous teacher, he will definitely become a wise king in the future.
Kou Feng did not expect his son to be as wise as Emperor Xiaowen, Emperor Xiaojing and Emperor Xiaowu, but he also hoped that the Kou family's national destiny could continue.
During the Early Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowen, Emperor Xiaojing, and Emperor Xiaowu were all wise monarchs within three generations. Although Emperor Zhao of Han and Emperor Xuan of Han were not famous, they were also wise monarchs.
In particular, Emperor Xuan of Han was the lord of Zhongxing.
If Kou family could be as prosperous as Liu family, Kou Feng would be satisfied.
Kou Feng's solemnity made Cai Da very nervous. Kou Chang looked at Kou Feng with incomprehension, why did his father not agree with him after he spoke, but was solemn.
"The father is away all year round and it is his fault for not teaching you well." Kou Feng said a long time later.
Cai Da's face suddenly turned pale. Did she do something wrong?
"I'll ask my father to teach you." This son was quite calm, lowered his head, and asked for advice like a little adult.
"The Legalists are good. But why did the Qin State, which used the law, perish in the second lifetime? Because the Legalists were too strict and were all powerful people who studied the law, they were just keen on their own power. Therefore, Li Si, who gathered the achievements of the Legalists, was able to join forces with the eunuch Zhao Gao and frame the prince Fusu of the First Emperor Ying Zheng. Even heroes like the First Emperor could not handle these problems well, let alone you and me."
Kou Feng taught in detail.
"Using rules can easily lead to powerful officials, but the country will be destroyed?" Kou Chang's face turned pale and was scared.
"Yes." Kou Feng nodded with certainty.
This is the era of centralized monarchy in the Han Dynasty. Using heavy dictates in times of chaos can calm the world, and using heavy dictates in times of prosperity is a search for death.
Although it is obvious that Kou Feng's understanding is that Lu Xun and Deng Ai are left with others, it is obviously impossible for him to die when he is passed on to his son. But what about grandson and great-grandson.
If you simply use the law to rule the country, you will definitely have a short life.
"How can I govern the country?" Seeing Kou Feng's affirmation, Kou Chang's expression became paler at first, but then, an enlightenment immediately appeared on his little face and he quickly asked for advice.
Because Kou Chang saw that although his father could not rule the country by law, he was very calm and obviously had other strategies.
"Outer saints and kings inside."
Kou Feng spit out four words.
"Outer saint and inner king?"
Kou Chang didn't quite understand.
