Chapter 635: Off topic
An excellent politician must learn to be an excellent speech, Shen Feng is not a politician, but he still has to make a political speech, which is also the meaning of the emperor, the emperor wants to use this painting to tell the world how the country became a country.

"Can anyone tell me where the sacrifice of life comes from?" At this time, he no longer pretended to be a scholar's profoundness, his language became straightforward, and then said: "If I remember correctly, it was Mencius who said, I think everyone present must have read this sentence, now the country is in the middle of the storm, foreign races are eyeing the Central Plains, and they can invade at any time, at this difficult juncture, the country needs more people who sacrifice their lives to stand up against the Rouran tribe, only when the whole country works together to resist the enemy, the iron hooves of the Rouran tribe can not step into our homeland." ”
"That's right, the purpose of reading the book of 100 schools of thought is to turn the tide and praise peace, but don't forget that the hundred schools of thought arose in the Warring States Period, when the war was continuous, and there were princes competing for hegemony, the reason is that the people were tired of the war and looked forward to the day of peace, and this time is different from the past!"
These words are a kind of infringement for these scholars, but this is actually what the emperor wants to say, but Shen Feng can say it on his behalf, and Shen Feng can choose not to say it, but he still wants to say it.
There were already some people in the audience who were sneering and boosing, but Shen Feng turned a deaf ear and continued: " That's right, whether Confucius's etiquette, benevolence, benevolence, or Mencius's love and non-attack, are the ideological treasures of the world's people for thousands of years, we must not discard, but can not blindly abuse, the idea of the hundred schools of thought flourished in the Warring States Period, it was that era that needed it, but not every one of the hundred schools of thought of the sons opposed the war, such as the Legalists and the soldiers, the hundred schools of thought have evolved to the present, with the advent of the era of peace, most of the hundreds of schools of the sons recognize only Confucianism, Mohist, Taoism and Confucianism pay attention to benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and music, these three schools of thought have made the Central Plains a great country rich and powerful, and the achievements of it, no matter a hundred years or a thousand years, the imprint of history will never fade!"
These words are an affirmation of the dedication of the readers, after they listened, their emotions calmed down slightly, Shen Feng's agitation eased, so that they slightly recognized what they said before, speaking needs to be slow and urgent, urgent and slow, too hasty will only cause the other party's resistance.
It is difficult for most people to listen to other people's opinions, and when the other party's thoughts are sealed, it is futile to say that it is futile, but fortunately, these readers are young people, and their thoughts have not been completely sealed, and when they are seventy or eighty, they will talk about these things, absolutely no effect, and the thoughts will become a defense system of their own over time, so as to govern everyone's behavior and speech, when we try to communicate, we can only think with the progress of the times, and have been absorbing new knowledge, so that they will not self-seal, and they can also communicate with people very well, the old man in the library in the Shawshank redemption came out of prison and could only choose suicideAt that time, the old man wanted to learn to adapt to this new era society, it was too late, because the society had undergone drastic changes in his understanding, and he could not learn to learn to learn, so his thoughts could not be left behind for a day, and he had to study every day to be eliminated by the times.
After a pause, he continued: "But Confucius and Mencius thought is not applicable to all fields, nor is it useful in any period, don't think that books teach everything in the world, the earliest of our ancestors Shennong relied on everything to explore to have today's 'life', and we have stopped exploring now, stopped advancing, a Kui Bao who abused the leftovers, there is still a lot of knowledge in the world waiting for us to discover, a car that is faster than a carriage, and a brighter light、、、 Why can't we create it ourselves, why do we have to rely on books for everything, even if our home and country have been violated, we have to pick up the books first to learn the way to save them, and when we find them, the country will have already perished!"
I knew in my heart that this was the ill of the times, and every era would belong to the ills of the characteristics of the times, Shen Feng didn't know if these words were useful to them, but the times always needed someone to stand up, sighed deeply, a trace of melancholy piled up in his chest, looked at the bewildered faces under the stage, and raised his breath and said loudly: "We don't want to be readers who stay in the shadow of our ancestors, reading is their books, doing everything they teach, what they tell us to do, we will do it, why!" Everyone's life should have its own meaning, have its own judgment, have its own ideals, we want to create the future of readers, what is written in the book, in the final analysis, is someone else's, your current thoughts are also someone else's, in the end, there is no brilliance!"
"Ahem, cough, cough - General Shen, you digress, I'm talking about your poetry at this time. Gonggong Li suddenly coughed a few times, his expression was very anxious, and he signaled him not to say any more, the emperor just asked Shen Feng to encourage the scholars to go to the battlefield and have the blood of a man, but Shen Feng didn't care about this, told them to go to the battlefield, they would go, it was useless, it was better to say whatever you wanted.
"Do you digress, I have forgotten what the poem is, what the title has to do with me! Father-in-law can go to the side to rest first, and I am afraid that you will not dare to listen to the next words. Shen Feng snorted coldly, looked down, and said loudly: "Books can benefit people, but if they are excessively respected, they will harm people, what is the truth, the extreme of things must be the truth-"
"Why do we obediently bind ourselves to books, this world is far bigger than books!" his eyes were heavy, his tone was like a rock grinding, and he threw out the sentence he wanted to say the most, and said a lot of the previous ones, just to chant this sentence.
This sentence is like an initiation in everyone's mind, a simple analogy is better than more repetition, and the expressions of everyone in the audience are extremely complicated, which shows that they are already struggling in their hearts, but some bold people have heard it with great vigour, and they can't wait to write it down.
"But what I mean is not to let everyone abandon books completely, but to hold books in their hands and look at the world, discard the dross and pick up people's wisdom, books are for learning, but also for questioning, to question, only personal practice, we have the right to question anyone and everything, including-"
"Ahem-" Gonggong Li coughed sharply a few times, as if he knew what he was going to say next, "General Shen, you weren't talking about sacrificing your life just now, why did you talk about books." ”
Shen Feng reluctantly reluctantly retracted, there are always some words that cannot be said even after thousands of years, "If you really respect the so-called sages, don't blindly copy the whole school, this is not respect, but to disgrace the sages, real respect is to find a way to surpass the predecessors, Confucius and Mencius rushed between the princes in the war years, and they could die at any time, this is the so-called sacrifice of life." ”
"But it was before, and now it is now, before the princes only knew about war and plunder, and did not know that civilization can also enrich and strengthen the country, and now we are in a peaceful and peaceful beautiful country, the Rouran clan is eyeing the Central Plains, and a war between the north and the south is inevitable, since there is no way to avoid it, it is useless to preach peace and ask for answers, all we do can only defend!"
Shen Feng smiled and said: "Everyone must think that I want to persuade you to join the army and go to the battlefield, no, I can't say these words, I was originally just a refugee in Shengzhou, hungry and cold, I have been a subordinate in other people's houses, and I have also done business, I understand the preciousness of life, the reason why I set foot on the battlefield is because of responsibility - why don't men wear Wu hooks! A man was born to defend his family and country!"
