Chapter 13: Early Deception
Get off the horse!
The Confucian scholars at the head were very indignant.
He felt that Ju Zizhou was declaring sovereignty when he said this, and he was giving himself and others a disadvantage!
Although the six Confucian scholars were angry, they still stood up honestly and saluted.
Confucianism is the existence of the most important etiquette among the hundred schools, and within them, rudeness is a big mistake.
"Friend Ju, the six of us are scholars from Yan Kingdom, Zong Yanzi, the teacher of Tianzi is undisciplined, I don't know which family and which lineage of Friend Ju is?" The Confucian man at the head asked.
This group of Confucians has been voting for Ying Zheng for several days, but today is the first time that they have officially exchanged with Ju Zizhou.
Ju Zizhou nodded, indicating that he knew that the other party was Yan Ziru, and casually returned the salute: "I used to study literature under Sun Yanmen, Zong Laozhuang." ”
The Confucian man frowned.
It is rare for a person like Ju Zizhou to call his teacher by his name.
Sure enough, it's rude!
There was a little contempt between the Confucian people's eyebrows.
"It turned out to be a Taoist disciple, no wonder he was so free and uninhibited and despised etiquette." The Confucian nodded, sarcastically, and said, "I don't know what the junior brother's scripture is?" What is the scripture that ordered the grandmaster to grant the gentleman's government? ”
Ju Zizhou smiled: "Senior brother praised it falsely. When I was studying, I chose the scripture "The Way of Virtue", but I rarely studied it, and now he has abandoned the scripture for four years, and Qin Zheng did not follow Sun Yan to learn the Tao. ”
The "Tao of Virtue" scripture is actually the Tao Te Ching.
Ju Zizhou did not admit any master-apprentice relationship, but only borrowed the name of Taoism.
Ying Zheng knelt on top of the chairman and watched with great interest as Ju Zizhou talked to the Confucians.
In fact, he has always wanted to know more about Ju Zizhou, before, he didn't even know who Ju Zizhou's master was, but now ...... Ying Zheng thought about it and felt that he still didn't know who Ju Zizhou's master was.
So, the word stands for the meaning that it was in the past, but it is not.
Moreover, Ju Zizhou only said that he studied literature under Sun Yan, and did not say that he was apprenticed to Sun Yan.
Ying Zheng has been with Ju Zizhou for several months, and he is very clear about the relatively rigorous characteristics of his speech.
"Oh, has Senior Brother Ju already left the school?" The Confucian asked lightly, "Senior brother, when I was as old as you, I was still studying the scriptures!" ”
"Everyone has their own aspirations." Ju Zizhou smiled, ignoring Confucianism's provocation, but knelt down beside Ying Zheng: "Senior brothers, please take a seat."
Confucius frowned, and the six of them looked at each other and sat down on their knees.
"Ah Zheng, if you have any confusion, you might as well say it and ask the Confucian brothers."
Ying Zheng frowned, nodded and said, "Then there are senior brothers Lao." ”
As he spoke, he got up and walked to the midfield, saluted everyone, knelt down, and asked, "Senior brother, I know that in Zhao Kingdom, there is a gap between the rich and the poor, there is a difference of interests between the king of Zhao and the nobles of Zhao, and there is a gap between the high-level rangers and the low-level rangers. ”
So why are these disparities occurring? I've thought a lot about land, titles, and wealth these days, but I can't understand it. ”
"Why is their relationship so strong? Even if there is a difference of interest, the relationship cannot be severed. ”
"It's obviously a profession that can be converted into each other, but why is there such a big gap between the top and the bottom?"
"Please teach me, senior brother." Ying Zheng bowed over after speaking.
The six Confucian scholars looked at each other, each a little surprised.
Ying Zheng is a child under the age of ten, they thought that even if Ying Zheng was smart, he was just a child, and the questions he would ask should only be those that the child cared about.
But now Yingzheng's question is obviously not a question that a child should be able to ask.
The Confucian scholars were not only surprised, but also paid some attention.
Because. Ying Zheng was able to ask such a question, which shows that he is a smart person and extremely concerned about people's livelihood.
In this way, it is easy for a smart child to teach.
In this way, children who care about people's livelihood are more suitable for Confucian learning.
After a moment of silence, a Confucian scholar stepped out of the crowd.
He got up, walked to Yingzheng, knelt down face to face with him, bowed slightly, and said, "Teach." ”
Ying Zheng bowed: "Please advise." ”
"Confucius said: Zhou has a great fortune, and a good person is rich." Confucian Sheng slowly spoke: "People are inherently unequal. Those who are virtuous love themselves even if they are neighbors; Those who are not virtuous are hated by their parents. ”
"If you have a neighbor who loves you and a person who you hate your parents in the world, then your neighbor can accumulate wealth and goods."
"And those who are hated by their parents can ruin their wealth and lose their industry."
"So the neighbor who loves is rich, and the one whom his parents hate is poor."
"So those who are virtuous are rich, and those who are not virtuous are poor."
"This, so the Zhao people have rich and poor people!" Confucian continued: "Zhao is not a Debang, and the king of Zhao and the nobles of Zhao have uneven gains. Those who are virtuous take benevolence and righteousness as their benefit, and those who are virtuous take wealth as their benefit, which is the reason why King Zhao and the nobles of Zhao have different interests. ”
"There are also big and small rangers, and the great ones love fame more than treasure, and act according to the principle of benevolence and righteousness, and do not do unrighteous things; And the little man loves treasure more than fame, has low morals, and is in the Seven Kingdoms, all he asks for is money. ”
"The uneven virtue is the beginning of all this chasm!" Confucian said meaningfully: "Land, titles, wealth, these should be the things that the monarch uses to protect the people!" ”
"Zi Mencius said: Those who have no permanent property have no perseverance, and those who have no perseverance will let go of evil extravagance."
"Let go of evil and extravagance, and then know that you are not virtuous. The monarch should be benevolent in order to cultivate virtue. ”
"Zi Mencius said: A house of five acres, a mulberry tree, fifty can be clothed; Chickens, guineas, dogs, and animals, if they don't lose their time, the seventy can eat meat; A hundred acres of land, don't take it away, a family of eight can be hungry; The teaching of the order, the righteousness of filial piety, and the person who gives the confession does not live up to the road.
The old man eats meat, and the people are not hungry or cold, but those who are not kings are not there."
"Be taught." A salute to the government.
The Confucian returned the salute and returned to his seat.
Ju Zizhou looked at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng was still frowning.
His question was not answered!
The Confucian scholars were very happy when they talked about it.
They exchanged glances and praised the performance of the senior brother who spoke.
"Wonderful, Senior Brother Ziyuan has almost the true meaning of Confucius!"
"Senior Brother Ziyuan's words are wonderful, and his knowledge is refined, I can't wait!"
"Senior Brother Ziyuan really has the ability to dominate the world!"
The Confucian scholars praised it.
Ju Zizhou pouted.
Ying Zheng bowed: "I have no doubts, I want to rest now, thank you Confucian brothers!" ”
The Confucian scholars nodded one after another, praising Yingzheng for his courtesy: "Junzizheng can carefully ponder the remarks of Senior Brother Ziyuan, and with the qualifications of a gentleman, he will definitely benefit a lot from it." ”
Sending the Confucian students out, Ying Zheng's respectful face darkened suddenly: "You asked me to ask this group of waste?" ”
Ju Zizhou smiled.
"Excuse me, this bunch of garbage, I don't get any inspiration except for wasting time, what the hell do you think?" Ying Zheng rarely got angry at Ju Zizhou.
"I still want you to read more, so as not to be deceived by these intellectuals in the future." Ju Zizhou smiled: "I've been deceived a few times now, and if I encounter such a thing in the future, I will be able to see through their words at once, and I won't be deceived, which is a good thing!" ”
