    "But since he succeeded to the throne, there have been many natural disasters and the people are in dire straits. Do you know why?"

    Lin Xuan's eyes shone with wisdom, and he looked at the students and asked.

    The voice just fell.

    The thin student Liu Sheng thought for a while when he heard the words, and immediately raised his hand as a signal, stood up, and said confidently without thinking: "There is an old saying that if the king does not show benevolence and righteousness, he will be punished by heaven."

    "The students thought that this king must be a hypocritical, fatuous and ruthless lord."

    As soon as this remark came out.

    Li Shimin immediately laughed out loud when he heard the words: "Hahaha"

    Seeing this, Liu Sheng, a thin student, was confused and puzzled. He really didn't understand. How could what he said be ridiculous?

    "That's not true. On the contrary, he is very industrious and thrifty and loves the people. Once the people of the world suffer from a disaster, he will cut down on food and clothing to tide over the difficulties with all people in the world."

    "Every year, he will amnesty the world and help the victims, but no one in the world accepts his kindness. He eventually became the king of subjugation."

    Lin Xuan sighed and said meaningfully.

    "Professor Lin, why is this happening?"

    "If he is really as benevolent as you said and loves the people, then he is like a sage in ancient times. Shouldn't the people all over the world love such a king?"

    "Then why did he become the king of subjugation?"

    The thin student Liu Sheng had an expression of disbelief when he heard the words, and he raised his own doubts.

    "Good question, why?"

    "He lightened the law and abandoned punishment. The common people only know etiquette and self-discipline, and the law is useless."

    "Someone committed a capital crime, and before he could be executed, he was pardoned for the capital crime by the amnesty world and punished with hard labor."

    "But before the hard labor was over, the king pardoned the world and released him without charge."

    "As a result, there is no law left, people in the world have nothing to fear, the prestige of the court's decrees has been lost, and the wicked are even more unscrupulous after they are released from prison."

    "People who do evil are not punished, and those who do good are not praised. What do you think the world he governs will look like?"

    Lin Xuan said deafeningly passionately, with a pun, and then glanced at Li Shimin who was so shocked.

    The thin student Liu Sheng instantly felt as if a door to a new world had been opened in his heart. He wanted to walk into the door and see the scene of that world, but when he reached the door, he stopped in a daze.  He has lost his footsteps, and he doesn't know where the road ahead is.

    "Professor Lin, shouldn't these criminals be grateful for the king's grace, abandon evil and do good?"

    Liu Sheng's face revealed a look of struggle, and he still asked in bewilderment.

    Lin Xuan calmly explained: "Everything in this world is born with each other. Where there is yin, there is yang. People are born with good and evil."

    "People with evil natures only restrain and suppress the evil in their hearts because they fear punishment."

    "Without the deterrence of heavy codes, do you think those poor kind people can survive in a world where demons dance wildly?"

    "Not everyone in this world is born a sage and a good person. The vast majority of people are blind and ignorant people."

    The voice just fell.

    Liu Sheng retorted in puzzlement when he heard the words: "Professor Lin, if the punishment is severe, the etiquette is abandoned, and the morality is reprimanded, it will make people in the world turn pale when they talk about the law, and become terrified when they talk about punishment."

    "In this way, the people of the world only know the law and do not know loyalty and filial piety. With the rule of a tyrant who is not loved by the people of the world, will such a country have long-term peace and stability?"

    Liu Sheng never made any concessions. How could he easily believe that the concept of benevolent government and loving the people he has always believed in is a study that will bring disaster to the country and the people?

    He would rather believe that this was a story told by Lin Xuan, it was just fabricated out of thin air, not reality.

    Lin Xuan looked solemn when he heard the words, and explained calmly: "I have not denied the Confucian doctrine of benevolent government and loving the people, but as a king, if you can't listen to all schools of thought and stick to those pedantic words full of benevolence, justice and morality, you won't  Knowing how to use punishment to control evil and punish rape is the work of an incompetent and ruthless king."

    "Let me ask you, the emperor of Zhou believed in benevolence, righteousness and morality. Among all the princes and people in the world, who would save him when he was in trouble?"

    "Confucius and Mencius traveled around the world to promote benevolence and righteousness, but did their ideas work in that era? Which vassal state got help from their ideas and changed the status quo?"

    "Ji Ke, Xun Kuangji went to the palace to teach, and the state of Qi is known as theCan, gathering talents from all over the world, where is the state of Qi today?  "

    "Emperor Han Yuan and Emperor Han Cheng purely used Confucian benevolence to govern the country. They only educated but did not conduct assessments and punishments, resulting in official corruption. Local tyrants took advantage of the opportunity to seize wealth. Land annexation was serious, politics was dark, and national conflicts abounded."

    "Emperor Han Cheng originally had the opportunity to weaken the power of his relatives, but Confucian benevolence and love for the people require the monarch to practice benevolence and justice, and take the lead in setting an example of benevolence to relatives and courtiers around him. Therefore, people from his mother's family and wife's family cried for him, and he was very angry.  With a heart of mercy, I will no longer punish Da Sima Wangfeng who has made mistakes."
