Chapter 66: Reprimand
After saying these two stories, Lin Mu asked the sons and hundreds of schools: "Why did the prince and the minister kill the king and kill the father in a big rebellion?" Why did the customs guard let Wu Zixu pass the customs in front of his eyes? Does the prince want to kill the king? Didn't the customs guards want to arrest Wu Zixu to receive the reward? Definitely! It's all about the heart of interest! The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. Everyone has the heart of interest; Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, everyone has it, and it is true! ”
A good world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit!
All the sons and hundreds of scholars all applauded and looked sideways, this Legalist Meng Fan is really talented, and his export is a chapter, so young, he is not lost to Meng Fuzi at all, it is really amazing, even if this debate is lost after today, "Meng Fan" will inevitably move the world.
As soon as the two stories were told, everyone fell into deep thought.
Yes, whether it is Gongzichen or the person who guards the pass, his original intention is not really to do that, but he is forced to do it, which just proves the twelve words that Lin Mu said, "The heart of interests, seeking advantages and avoiding harms, everyone has it".
Mencius, who was overjoyed, suddenly restrained his expression when he heard this, and the worry in his heart arose spontaneously, feeling that things were not so simple.
Just when the sons and hundreds of scholars were thinking, Lin Muyan was heard in the quiet hall of the Contention Hall: "Why did the prince succeed in killing the king?" Why do gatekeepers knowingly indulge in it? If the law is not strictly enforced, it is to punish it strictly by steepening the law, and to set an example, the law is like a mountain, and there is no grace outside the law. Therefore, the reward is as generous as faith, so that the people may benefit; The punishment is more severe than the severe, so that the people are afraid; The law is as consistent as it is, so that the people know it. There are laws to follow, laws must be followed, and law enforcement must be strict. In this way, all the people in the world know the law and respect the law and do not break the law, so abide by the law and the world is at peace, so it is all right! ”
"Brother Meng's theory, Cai!" As soon as these words came out, the hundreds of schools of thought were full of applause, and they were all breathtaking.
I thought that Lin Mu would win, Mencius immediately staged a wonderful counterattack, I thought that Lin Mu was going to lose, and the Legalists were going to lose, but once again turned the tide, and no one dared to judge who won and who lost in the end.
Today's controversy over Confucianism can be described as an eye-opener and unprecedented in history.
There is no reward as good as faith, so that the people may benefit; The punishment is more severe than the severe, so that the people are afraid; The law is as consistent as it is, so that the people know it. The first is to give abundant rewards and to keep what they say, so that people may gain and be profitable; Second, it is necessary to have severe punishments and unswervingly implement them, so that people will not dare to make disorder because of the fear of the law; Third, the law should be open, unified, and stable, so that people can know the law and abide by the law, everyone knows the law, and everyone abides by the law, so that no one will cause chaos, so that the world can be stable.
Lin Mu's short dozens of words, three principles, his idea of governing the country, and his law could not be clearer.
Syllable!
Lin Mu expounded the essence of his law, and as soon as he finished speaking, at this moment, Mencius on the seat was pale, and suddenly slapped a few cases, and his voice resounded through the hall, so that the eyes of all the sons and hundreds of schools of thought turned to Mencius, and the hall only heard his words Shen Xiong and said angrily: "The avenue is true, and it does not involve gains and losses." Down-to-the-foot, treacherous, and only about interests. It is actually advocating to please people with profit and deter people with harm, and such a law without virtue and righteousness is still arguing about the truth and falsehood, so that the rule of law will eventually lead to the loss of morality and benevolence in the world, so that people are inferior to beasts. Isn't it a big fallacy for the world to be misled by such demagogic words? What a cry of sorrow? ”
"Governing the country by virtue is actually ruled by man. People rule the country, corrupt Confucianism misleads the country, how to do it! Lin Mu, who was scolded by Mencius, responded with an eye for an eye on the spot, and his momentum was only stronger than Mencius, but not weaker, and only Lin Mu's voice was heard on the stage: "Confucianism is actually trying to advocate ruling with royal saints today, but Meng Fan tried to ask how many saints there are since ancient times?" The rise and fall of dynasties has lasted for thousands of years, and there are few prosperous times, and there are indeed countless people who have fallen and fallen. Dayu died on the summer solstice; Tang Wu fought and established; King Wu was defeated and Shang died, the world was in turmoil after the Duke of Zhou, there was no righteous war since the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Warring States in the world were in great contention. ”
Lin Mu also did not shy away from his edge, Meng Ke scolded the Legalists, of course the strong-blooded Lin Mu wanted to return his body, and then faced the hundreds of schools, raised his voice and said to the extreme:
"In today's world, the master is a world of chaos, and Meng Fan is a world of great controversy. The strong are strong, the weak are dead, and where there is flesh, there will be contention. Meng Fan only told all the scholars, the road to governing the country is not empty talk, but practice, the rule of law, the rule of man, the rule of inaction, who can follow the trend in today's world of great contention and strengthen the country and enrich the people, is the right way! Otherwise, it is empty talk, and it will delay the world! ”
"In today's world, the Warring States are in great dispute, and Confucianism is so stubborn and still advocates governing the country by virtue. Confucianism not only has no cure to save the world, but has caused the world to deceive the world and steal the world, how absurd! ”
"You ......" Meng Ke's face turned blue on the spot, "A man of false words, such a disrespectful remark will damage my Confucian reputation, villain's ear, what a word!" ”
Jixia Xuegong has always been unrestrained in the style of learning, and there is no end to the words, which time the hundred schools of thought are not full of gunpowder, and in the end, all kinds of shortcomings, and even spray each other, this time is no exception, but this time the dispute between Confucianism and law is unprecedented, all the sons of the hundreds, and the people of the school outside Confucianism are all excited to watch the two schools compete with each other to "tear" to such a point.
"Insulting? Meng Fan's words are insignificant compared to the fact that the master has destroyed the scholarship of all the sons of the world. I saw Lin Mu smile leisurely, shook his head and said with his eyes closed. Nowadays, Meng Ke and Mengfuzi have "sprayed" the monarchs of various countries one by one, and the hundreds of schools of thought have not been spared, and there is basically no school that has not been "angrily scolded" by Mencius.
At the moment, Lin Mu immediately refuted without backing down: "Meng Fan is not lying about it, it is actually justified. Confucianism has always talked about the sage and the royal road, advocating that everyone is virtuous, and the virtue of the world is that everyone can be Yao Shun, which is certainly fascinating, but it is known that it cannot be done, and the result is that the world's unvirtuous people live in it, and the people who are not gentlemen live in it, so the sage and the gentleman are not hypocrites? How can Confucianism with such a doctrine not be a great hypocrisy and a thief of fame? ”
"The world is the greatest, there are few saints, and you want to be virtuous in the world to the extreme, which is tantamount to a fool's dream, but it is the objective reality that you dare not face, and the ugliness of the world that you dare not expose. The master said that everyone can be Yao Shun, and Meng Fan said that everyone is fake because of this! Lin Mu said concisely and eloquently, this remark is undoubtedly shocking ghosts and gods, all the children of the Confucian school have a tragic change in their faces, and all the sons and hundreds of schools are stunned by Lin Mu's verbal argument.
Everyone can be Yao Shun. No one in the world knows that this is Mencius's theory, but he Meng Fan (Lin Mu) said that everyone is hypocritical (hypocrite) because of this. At this moment, Mencius's ears were buzzing, but he saw that his body and mind were trembling on the seat, and he couldn't speak, and the whole person was in a state of confusion.
Lin Mu hadn't finished speaking, and when the needle fell on the main hall, he could only hear Lin Mu's voice: "The hypocrites in the world, all out of Confucianism, have corroboration." In the eyes of Confucianism, all schools of thought are inferior, only self-orthodox, everyone is a villain, only a gentleman, all art is lowly, and Confucianism is unique. ”
Meng Fan is particularly puzzled, the six arts of Confucianism, the word etiquette comes first, the master is a master of the Confucian generation, and he is a sage of the world, talking about benevolence, righteousness and virtue, but he has repeatedly spoken out about the sons of the hundred schools, and he has scolded all the sons of the world and has been damaged and humiliated. Our Legalist faction keeps pace with the times in the world of great disputes, strengthens the country and enriches the people, and the law does not punish the heart, but was scolded by Meng Fuzi as a tiger and wolf who has no virtue and no righteousness, and acts as a tiger and wolf harsh government; The Mohist faction advocates that the world has both love and evil, and if the lover loves his body, such a great love, the master is indeed scolded for being a fatherless and the queen; The avenue is true, the world is inactive, Lao Zhuang is detached (Lao Tzu Zhuangzi), but the master scolded the Taoist proposition to escape; Those who are strategists and strategists enter the trend of great competition and seek benefits for the country, but they are scolded by the master for being a concubine...... And so on, countless, and there is no need for Meng Fan to say more, all the sons here do not know themselves, Meng Fan tried to ask the hundreds of schools of thought here, what sect and what faction has not been fortunate to be named by Meng Fuzi? Haha......"
All the sons were speechless, and Lin Mu smiled at the sky in the Zhengming Hall, and then his face turned pale, and he continued without a smile:
"Confucianism regards itself as orthodoxy and despises the sons of the world, but what has Meng Fan left for more than a hundred years? No matter what inaction, he dares to openly claim to be orthodox in the royal way, in a word, he is not ashamed to say that he has dreamed of the Spring and Autumn Festival for more than 100 years, how shallow and ridiculous? ”
"Confucianism advocates the observance of Zhou rituals, the restoration of the old system, and the implementation of the ancient system of wells and fields, resulting in the displacement of all the people in the world and the lack of land to cultivate. How ridiculous it is that Meng Fuzi kept saying that 'the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light'! Meng Fuzi also said that benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and music educate the people to be virtuous in the world, but Confucianism actually advocated that 'punishment is not inferior to the doctor, and etiquette is not inferior to the common people'. This is the so-called virtue of the world, the people are noble and the king is light? How ridiculous! ”。
"Such a Confucian, so wrong-hearted, inconsistent, how can there be no big hypocrisy and a thief? What's more, you hide your heart of interest and harm, but instead say that you kill yourself to become benevolent and sacrifice yourself for righteousness. Looking at his deeds, all of them are tireless to seek the knighthood of a certain official, but if they can't, they will be panicked like a lost dog, what a way! ”
"The heart of interest is human nature, and seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is instinct, and everyone has it. You ignore the nature of people, do not use the situation to take advantage of the situation, but blinded the evil heart, only promote its good and beautiful and dare not dig its ugliness, so that all the people in the world are ignorant and dazed fools, thinking that the nobles are always bullying, and you and other wise people are foolish. In this way, how can we have the courage to dare to say that the people are noble and gentle, to practice benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and music, to educate the people and to be virtuous in the world? The sinister is so hypocritical, how cheeky? There is such a bizarre and brazen learning. ”
