Chapter Seventy-One

"Since the Mo family is as good as you say, why did it almost cut off the inheritance later?" The butcher felt that she had no chance of winning in debating the doctrine with Li Changding, so she decided to change her strategy and proceed from reality instead of studying theoretical issues.

Because the woman in black spends more energy on martial arts than on ancient literature and moral philosophy, she knows nothing about Mojia doctrine except for some hearsay, and although she has been in contact with Confucianism since she was a child, she is familiar with the classics, and the four books and five classics are memorized, but all kinds of views are instilled by others, she has never thought carefully, only knows rote memorization, and has not entered the pure taste, and can only be said to understand a little bit of skin!

How can such a half bucket of water compare to Li Changding, you must know that the fifth-order people of the empire, one is counted as one, almost without exception, they are all masters of Chinese studies, philosophical sages, and their attainments in theoretical thought are absolutely beyond the reach of mortals.

Of course, there are also peerless geniuses who enter the Tao purely with martial arts, are talented and demonic, and break through with war, but there may not be one or two for thousands of years. Moreover, even such people often have their own set of values, and may not know anything about the various classics, but they must be masters of philosophical speculation.

"The Mohist doctrine you praised has been passed on, but the Confucianism you despise has flourished and has been passed down for thousands of years! Tell me, what is the reason? Well? The butcher stared at Li Changding with a grin, wanting to see what he would say.

"First of all, correct one of your mistakes." Li Changding smiled and said, "I do not despise Confucianism, on the contrary, I agree with many views of Confucianism. Moreover, in ancient China, the production technology was backward, and Confucianism, which was based on blood kinship, played a very important role in maintaining national unity and building a stable order. It's just that compared to the doctrine of Mohism, he seems to be a little backward, Confucianism and Mohism, in comparison, I prefer Mohist. ”

"Really? Then tell me why your favorite Mohist almost disappeared in later history, while Confucianism developed like a flower! ”

"It's very simple, the Mo family is too advanced and out of place, and compared with the Mo family's love and sage, the Confucian doctrine is more in line with the ruler's appetite, in the eyes of the ruler, Confucianism is very useful, and at the same time has the least risk of backlash!"

"Because it is easy to use, because the risk of backlash is small, Confucianism has always been the best tool for rulers to rule the world! With the interests of the rulers, it is difficult for Confucianism to flourish! It's like Buddhism! Of course, Confucianism at this time was no longer the Confucianism that Confucius had propagated and celebrated.

"It's as simple as that?"

"It's as simple as that."

"Then why can't the Mo family do it?" The butcher asked.

"The Mo family pays attention to 'choose the virtuous person in the world and immediately think of him as the Son of Heaven', this sentence alone is enough for the rulers of the world in the feudal period to frantically suppress him! and Confucianism, which emphasizes 'monarchs, ministers, fathers, and sons', if you are the ruler, who will you choose? ”

"Haha, you're wrong this time!" It was rare to catch Li Changding's mistake, and the bearded butcher opened his bloody mouth, laughed, and retorted, "The monarch and the ministers are not speaking for the solidification of the hierarchy, it means 'for the monarch to do the way of the king, for the ministers to do the way of the courtiers', it implies that to maintain social order, everyone must be in their own position, and do their own obligations." ”

"Of course I do. In this sentence, Confucius made a request to all the people in society, believing that they should do their own work and fulfill their own obligations, including the king. But what if you don't? In the face of this situation, as a Mojia Mo person, it is very simple, the king is not the king, that is, the king is unjust, the king is unjust, and then 'the unrighteous is not rich, the unrighteous is not expensive, the unrighteous is not close, the unrighteous is not close'. What about being a Confucian scholar? In the face of Jun Bujun, what will Confucianism perform, can you tell me? Li Changding smiled playfully.

"To do things with the Tao, you can't stop." The butcher replied with an ugly face, thinking that he had caught the handle in Li Changding's words! I didn't expect it to be a trap, according to the statement in the romance, I was "sold a flaw"!

"I have a good memory, this sentence is from the "Analects * Advanced", it seems that your Confucianism foundation is very solid. Not many people can memorize the Analects now, except for the very famous ones. Li Changding smiled proudly, praised the butcher rarely, and then continued, "Confucius also said in the Analects of Confucius, 'If you use it, you will do it, and if you give it up, you will hide it'. No social responsibility at all! And it goes rightly! ”

"Who said that he would leave directly, wouldn't there be any advice! There are still many Confucian scholars in history who have done death advice! ”

"Death. Hehe. At the mention of the death admonition, Li Changding let out an inexplicable laughter, "The Confucian student of the death admonition is the cutest!" ”

"Isn't there still a military admonition?" The butcher is not convinced!

"Oh, there are a few people in history who marched to admonish. Do they really dare to hurt their monarch? Of course, don't talk about those who act against the banner of the Qing monarch. We say that those who really give military advice, even if they are military advice, the Confucian scholars of Confucianism still put themselves in the position of the courtiers who are ruled, even if the king is not the king, they still regard him as the king! Although Confucius did not directly advocate class solidification, judging from his words and deeds, he still identified with the solidified class, at least with the tradition of the king's class of fathers and sons. ”

Of course, Confucius, as an ancient man thousands of years ago, used some ideas of later generations to ask him, and when he saw that he did not do it, he was obviously wronged by him and unfair to him. After all, he is just an ancient, and he must have his historical limitations, and he does not have to demand full blame! ”

"Yes." The butcher agreed, and she had heard her grandfather say the same thing.

"However, limitations are limitations after all, and deficiencies are deficiencies after all. In this regard, compared with Shangxian's Mozi, Confucius is inferior to Mozi. It's a fact! Of course, this deficiency is one of the reasons why rulers like Confucianism. ”

"You ......"

"Alright." The butcher was about to argue, but was interrupted by Li Changding, "Your theoretical level is too inferior." Go back and read Mozi and the Book of Ink, learn about the Mohists, and then come and debate with me. ”

"You!" Finding that he was despised again, the butcher felt furious, he couldn't hold back anymore, he forgot the huge difference in strength for a while, smashed it out with one claw, and hit the black tiger out of his heart, and the tiger was angry, and hit Li Changding's chest, but he was suppressed with his backhand and dropped downstairs casually.

"Gollum, Gollum, Gollum, Boom!"

There was a tumbling sound, and it was downstairs.

"You don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade."

"What? Pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? Just like him, a furious butcher with five big and three thick, a face full of meat, a long beard, thick hair, a mouth cracked like a bloody slit, his eyes squinted like a butcher's knife, and he can scare children when he laughs, you call me a merciful butcher? Li Changding looked at Ji Mingsheng, the little beggar on the beam, and said with a smile: "Are you meowing me?" ”

"It's not like you haven't seen his true face, big beauty."

"It's really a big beauty, but compared to you, there is still a lot of distance." Li Changding looked at the little beggar Ji Mingsheng playfully, and those who didn't know thought he had a special hobby.

Yes, Ji Mingsheng's body is also a woman, and she is a stunning beauty, her beauty is much better than Xia Yubing, even compared to Xiao Bing and Yi Aisi.

Being stared at by Li Changding a little shy, Ji Mingsheng's little face flushed slightly, and he quickly changed the topic, "Listening to what you just said, you seem to admire Mozi very much." ”

"That's right, there are many people I admire in my life, but there are not many people I admire, but there are only a few, and Mozi is in second place." Li Chang nodded fixedly, and said with a straight face.

"Oh." Ji Mingsheng was very curious, "Who is the first person in line?" Could it be Tang Taizu? ”

"Tang Taizu?" At the mention of this traverser, the corners of Li Changding's mouth twitched, and finally replied, "The person I admire the most, he is also Taizu, but not Tang Taizu. ”

"Who's that?" Ji Mingsheng's curiosity was completely aroused, she really couldn't imagine that which dynasty Taizu could be compared to the first emperor of the ages, Tang Taizu Yang Xuanning.

Faced with Ji Mingsheng's question, Li Changding was helpless, but he could only smile and say nothing.
