The Empress then asked another question, more focused on Lei Jun's views on Confucian Rationalism.
"Orderly yet cold, rigid yet stable, it favors centralization of power," Lei Jun said briefly. "The Principle Constants of Monarch and Ministers are ingrained deep into the heart and marrow. Down to the individual, there's a possibility for replacement, but as an entire system, the hierarchical positions are fixed, and any changes would only occur internally. One could say Confucian Cultivators have the chance to share the country's fate and fortunes with the ruler, sharing both its tranquility and its perils. On the flip side, it also means that all the outstanding talents of the world serve at the beck and call of the sovereign, forming a larger and more solid collective that suppresses all beings between heaven and earth."
All trades are inferior, only studying is noble.
Only studying certain texts is truly noble.
All the wise and talented enter the sovereign's fold.
