Chapter 673: Outside Confucianism, Inside Law! Overlord's Path Mixed In!. [673]
Summary
In a dialogue between the Qin Huang and Du Yu, the need to merge Confucianism and Legalism for effective governance is emphasized. Du Yu proposes a strategy of "External Confucianism and internal Law," suggesting a balance of benevolence and strict law enforcement to maintain order. The Qin Huang is impressed and agrees to implement reforms, including establishing Confucian schools and revising laws. Meanwhile, the Tang Emperor, having gained power, betrays Du Yu, believing he can sacrifice him for immediate benefits. Wu Meiniang warns against this shortsightedness, emphasizing Du Yu's loyalty and past support. The Emperor, now intoxicated by power, dismisses her concerns, leading to her banishment. As power dynamics shift, the Emperor's disregard for loyalty and trust becomes evident, foreshadowing potential consequences for his reign.Full content
