Chapter 670: People Are Not Human

Confucius's age is too far away from modern times, a thousand years from the end of the Song Dynasty, and due to the continuous evolution of the meaning of words in history, coupled with the lack of punctuation in ancient times, his old man's words are concise and to the point, but quite incomprehensible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info According to the modern sentence 'Zi Bu Si Strange Force Chao Shen Seven Characters', it is 'Zi Bu Si, Strange Force Chao God. In other words, it is interpreted that Confucius did not speak, but he was afraid that the force would be distracted and affect his concentration.

But when Zhao Yu came to ancient times, he knew that it had always been judged as 'Zi Bu Si: strange, force, chaos, and god. It seems to be a foregone conclusion that Confucius does not talk about weirdness, bravery, rebellion, and ghosts. In this way, he has room to play, just to refute them, you say that Confucius does not believe in God, but when he is sick, how can he pray to the gods? It is the spear of the son attacking the shield of the son that makes it difficult for them to tell.

"Your Majesty......"

"Your Majesty is right, saints are also human beings, and there will inevitably be omissions in words, but you can't cover them up with a single word!" Xiong He saw that His Majesty was using this to deny Confucius's remarks, so he wanted to get up, but was pulled by Wang Yinglin, and he got up and saluted.

"What Shenning Jushi said is exactly what he said, and the same needs to be done in handling government affairs, to see whether it is conducive to the current situation, whether it will endanger the general righteousness, and we must not eat the past!" Zhao Yu nodded.

"Your Majesty, those who are monarchs should restrain themselves with the words of saints before they can become Ming Jun!" Xiong He frowned when he heard this, stood up abruptly, and broke free from Wang Yinglin's pull.

"I want to ask what Mingjun is?" Zhao Yu listened and took a sip of tea and asked.

"Knowing benevolence and filial piety, respecting etiquette, treating others leniently, being strict with oneself, exercising benevolence, and staying away from treachery and evil, it is not far from the Ming Jun that the sage seeks!" Xiong He arched.

"How do you become benevolent?" Zhao Hao asked again.

"People with lofty ideals are benevolent, there is no survival to harm benevolence, there is killing to become benevolence!" Xiong He replied immediately.

"I don't think there are many people who can do it, and Sage Confucius...... Hehe! Zhao Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, you are being dull, please make it clear!" Seeing that His Majesty repeatedly questioned the saint, he asked again with anger in his heart.

"Hmph, according to the "Historical Records": Confucius was three years old when he lived in Chen, and he would fight for Jin and Chu, change Chen, and Wu invaded Chen, and Chen was often Kou. Confucius said: Return and return! The boy of our party is crazy and simple, and he does not forget the beginning. So Confucius went to Chen. I ask you if it is proper for a saint to do so? Zhao Hao snorted coldly and asked rhetorically.

"This statement makes it clear that the saint left because those disciples in his hometown have great ambitions, but they are simple and rude, they are all very enterprising, and they have not forgotten their original intentions, so why is there anything wrong with returning to their hometown to teach them?" Xiong He returned to the road.

"I think it's very wrong." Zhao Yu said, "The Lu of the king of food should be a matter of loyalty." The saint lived in Chen for three years, eating Jun Lu rice, Chen Guo had difficulty picking up knives and guns, and led the students to help protect Chen Guo, but why did he think that there were still students in his hometown who needed to be taught to run away! ”

"The sage once said that the chaotic state is not lived, and of course Chen Guo has no way to leave!" Xiong He said that he heard that the little emperor's meaning was clearly that Confucius was scared away, and it was clearly an excuse to return to his hometown to teach students, so of course he was not happy.

"Mr. Bexuan's words are difficult to solve my confusion." Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, "If the saint is not living in chaos, why is he living in Chen for three years?" If Chen is a state of righteousness, then with the requirement of 'not seeking survival to harm benevolence, and killing to become benevolent', it is right to sacrifice one's life to protect this state of righteousness, and what is the explanation for leaving in a hurry? And in the "Analects", Chen said: Return! Return! The boy of our party is crazy and simple, and he has made a chapter, I don't know why he cut it, and it is not credible if you think about it! ”

"Your Majesty, Sage Yun: Don't look at incivility, don't listen to incivility. And don't believe the words of others and distort the meaning of the saints! Although Xiong He's words were abrupt, he also represented scholars, and Confucius, who was regarded as their ancestor, was criticized by His Majesty as useless, but for a while it was difficult to tell the difference between his sophistry, Shu Yuexiang got up and said at this time.

"It's hard to distinguish and get angry with others, I'm afraid it's not a gentleman's doing, and besides, this is just my family's words." Zhao Yu said, "If you say that it is rude, don't listen to it, I think of "The Analects of Yang Goods", Mr. Langfeng must also know!" ”

The content of the account in "Analects - Yang Goods" is changed to a modern meaning, which means that after Yang Hu made the old club Ji Shi's rebellion, he probably wanted to find someone to support him, so he found Confucius and wanted to ask him to be an official, or a big official, of course, it must be greater than the official of Confucius who was the director of the Feiyi Urban Construction Bureau. But Confucius felt that the rebels were too destructive to the construction of the ritual system and were not a good thing, so he didn't want to see Yanghu.

As soon as Yang Hu saw that Confucius's small shelf was upright, he thought of a trick and sent a little pig to Confucius's house. Confucius is a person who knows etiquette, and people must return their gifts when they give gifts, and Yanghu just wants to meet Confucius when he worships back. Confucius also understood what Yang Hu meant, so he inquired about Yang Hu when he was not at home and went to thank him, which is hypocritical enough! But by chance, the two met on the road. This encounter will spoil the dish. The two chatted very hotly and had a cordial conversation in a friendly atmosphere. Yanghu persuaded Confucius to come out to be an official, saying that if you don't come out to be an official, there will be no such shop in this village, so Confucius will get off the donkey and agree.

According to what he said, Yang Hu persuaded Confucius to rebel with him, and if it was against etiquette, Confucius should immediately hold his head and run away, or simply plug his ears. But not only listened, but also talked very hotly, what kind of "don't listen" is this? It's obviously a 'snap' slap in the face!

"What do you think of Mr. Langfeng's account of this?" Deng Guangjian was originally very angry with the little emperor's 'nonsense', isn't this a shame for himself and his own ugliness. But when Shu Yuexiang's words reflected that he had taught His Majesty badly, he was even more annoyed, obviously His Majesty himself was crooked, how could he blame himself, but His Majesty was very happy when he spoke back, and felt that this apprentice was not taught in vain. And this time I seized the opportunity, if you don't say that I don't teach well, then you can tell Your Majesty!

"There must be an inside story in this matter, and it is really reluctant to be rude in this way, and Lu Qi's Jiagu clothes meeting, the son killed the Lai people without hurting Qi Jinggong, isn't it just a polite act?" Shu Yuexiang didn't expect that His Majesty would be able to familiarize himself with the scriptures and history at a young age, and his words were aggressive at the moment, which was really difficult to explain, so he abandoned his small words and said a few words to Yang Hu.

"Keeping propriety but betraying one's word, this move can't be called the so-called gentleman's doing!" In his previous life, Zhao Hao had seen a lot of the kind of sophistry that you said was the head of the shoulder, but he said the sophistry of the city gate building, in order to gain the initiative in the debate. Now that he is talking about this matter through other things, he will also talk about him.

'Luqi Jiagu Clothes Meeting' can be regarded as one of the few glorious moments in Confucius's life. Here's the thing, Confucius at that time was the acting secretary of state of the state of Lu. According to Sima Qian, because Lu Jun reused Confucius, the state of Lu was immediately strong. The strength of the Lu State frightened the neighbor Qi State, and he was afraid that it would be destroyed, so he asked to make friends with the Lu State and hold a peace conference. As soon as Lu Guojun heard the joy, he drove the car and immediately wanted to go.

According to the current interpretation, the so-called meeting of clothes means that when a peace conference is held, the princes and kings only need to wear their clothes to go, and they can no longer bring troops except for bodyguards. Contrary to the meaning of the meeting of clothes, it is the meeting of chariots. The meeting of military chariots is a form of meeting that takes the army to a meeting and relies on military deterrence to achieve the purpose of claiming the king and hegemony. And the reason why the princes' alliance had a clothing meeting was because everyone was based on faith at that time.

Judging from Sima Qian's description in the "Historical Records", what Qi sent to Lu was definitely an invitation to a peace meeting, and it was a meeting of clothes that should not be attended by troops. First of all, the purpose of Qi is not to scare Lu and make Lu succumb by strength, but to be afraid that once Lu is strong, it will be unfavorable to him, so he will take precautions and want to become friendly neighbors with Lu, so this is a peace meeting.

And Confucius hurriedly stopped him, saying What are you going to do like this? You've got to take the soldiers with you. Of course, Confucius found a reason for himself, saying that according to the ancient etiquette, your monarch has to bring a few officials when he goes out, so you can take the left and right Sima of Lu State. This left and right Sima is the general of the Lu State with the troops, and with them, it is equivalent to the national army with the Lu State. Just because the Lu State participated in the peace conference with a large army, the Qi State suffered a big loss at the meeting.

The people of Qi are sincere, and they have a special belief in the words of Confucius. Since Confucius has said, people cannot stand without faith; Since it is a peace conference, of course, it should be a meeting of clothes, and it will be over with a few bodyguards at most to guard against bandits, where do you think that Lu Guo is bringing soldiers to participate in the peace conference? As a result, under the threat of the soldiers, the Qi State not only lost face at the meeting, but also returned the three cities it had occupied before to the Lu State, and the most important thing is that although the military strength of the Qi State is much stronger than the Lu State, the Qi Jun only brought a group of singing and dancing people.

"This time, it was Qi Jun who betrayed his trust and instructed the Lai people to want to hold Lu Jun hostage, and the son killed him with soldiers!" Hu Sanxing couldn't help but interject, and at today's meeting, he also felt that a group of so-called celebrities were forced into a corner by the little emperor again and again, but he was powerless to refute. And his constant questioning of his son's behavior made him very dissatisfied, and he decided to join the warband.

"Mr. Body, even if as you said, Qi Jun wanted to send Lai people to the disadvantage of Lu Jun, but he did not lead the army to come, but Lu Jun led the army to come. If the gentleman is in danger, will he still send some tricksters to hold the other party's monarch hostage? And there is also a suspicion of disloyalty! Zhao Hao smiled. His words were very straightforward, the fact that Qi Jinggong did not bring troops to the meeting once again proved that the two countries of Qi and Lu were of course planning to hold only a meeting of clothes, and Confucius's behavior of asking Lu Jun to violate the agreement before the meeting and bring a large army to the meeting was enough to prove Confucius's disbelief.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong, as a native of the Lu country, he plans for the king and contributes to the country, so he can't be said to be disloyal in any case!" Ma Tingluan couldn't bear it anymore and said. However, he knew that even if some people found various reasons to justify the fact of leading the army to participate in the conference, it could even be said that it showed that Confucius was extremely intelligent, wise and martial. But no matter what they say, they can't change the fact that Confucius 'doesn't believe', so they only grasp the words behind the little emperor to distinguish them.

"Mr. Biwu's words seem to be reasonable at first glance, not to mention that although the son was born in Lu, he traveled all over the world in order to seek officials, including many of Lu's enemy countries, and it seems reluctant to say that he is loyal." Zhao Yu listened to it and took a sip of water unhurriedly, "In addition, in the Spring and Autumn Period, both Lu and Qi were feudal countries, and Zhou was the main master, so whether the behavior of the son can be called loyal to Zhou is still debatable!" ”

"Your Majesty...... I think that Your Majesty should read more original classics, but it is not the same as the miscellaneous records of wild history, so as not to go astray! Ma Tingluan sighed secretly when he heard this, this kind of statement that Confucius was disloyal seems to make some sense, but it is actually wrong. In those days, Zhou was the nominal ruler of the entire land of China, and only betrayal of Zhou was true disloyalty. So did Confucius betray Zhou? Is he loyal to the Zhou Dynasty? The answer is self-explanatory. That's all he can say.

"Mr. Biwu is reasonable, since the Qin Dynasty, before the Han Dynasty, the way of Huang Lao has been practiced by various dynasties. After the Han Dynasty exalted Confucianism alone, Confucian scholars in successive dynasties deleted and annotated Confucian classics, which inevitably deviated from the original meaning. In our dynasty, there are also Song studies, new studies and science divisions, although they come from the same origin, but they inevitably integrate the doctrines of various schools, which leads to sectarian disputes, so who is the orthodoxy and who judges? Zhao Hao smiled. He knew that Confucianism would still dominate China for hundreds of years, and that it was the foundation of the current ruling class, and that he did not have the ability to recreate a new ideological system.

So, he is now faced with a dilemma, either you say that Confucius is not benevolent, or you admit that most of what Confucius said about benevolence in the Analects, including what is recorded in his books, is a lie. But since Confucius was the greatest sage of ancient China, and a perfect moral man in the eyes of some experts and scholars, how could people not be benevolent? If he is not benevolent, then who dares to say that he is benevolent?

And arguing with them for a long time is just a reminder not to fool yourself as a 'jade'. Now that the goal has been achieved, hurry up and brake and turn around. To change the word, we should look at the general direction of looking at people. It means that maybe Confucius did not do it in some aspects, so it can't beat people to death with a stick, and it is not good to say that Confucius is a whole person!

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, Confucianism has the same origin, but each has its own annotation and development, and there are differences in the classics used for thousands of years, and if there is a mistake in a word, the artistic conception will be a thousand miles." Ma Tingluan was so sophisticated, before the others could react, he had already realized that His Majesty had the intention of turning around, and hurriedly Fu Hedao.

"That's right, so judging whether a king is a bright king or a faint king is definitely not a word of benevolence!" Zhao Yu nodded.

"Your Majesty is right, that's exactly what you say!" Wang Yinglin also reacted, and a dispute turned out to be the little emperor waiting here......
