At this moment, Lin Mu, who had a leisurely and comfortable face, suddenly looked sideways, and found that Ju Xin got up and walked to the contention stage, and then bowed to Meng Ke, sat on the contention platform and said to Meng Ke: "In Xia Xi, I am a bachelor of the Legalist family, dare to ask the master, what is the key in today's turmoil in the world?" ”

Mencius, who was on the seat, was full of momentum as soon as he opened his mouth, and he replied: "If you don't respect Zhou etiquette, you will end the benevolence and virtue of the world, and benevolence and righteousness will be lost. ”

Ju Xin lowered his head, thought for a while, and then asked Meng Ke, only to hear his voice, and said: "Respect Zhou Li, restore the old system, do you really think it is feasible?" ”

"The state has holy kings and good ministers, the benevolence and righteousness of the world are fully displayed, and the weekly rites are feasible!" Mencius, who was sitting precariously, replied, his words imposing.

"In the turbulent world, the Warring States in the world, the rise and fall of the state, the master pins his hopes on the old system of Zhou Li's royal road, but in fact, it is ruled by man, does the master really think it is a good medicine to save the world?" Ju Xin asked again.

"At least it's more feasible than Mr.'s legal, family, and power to govern the country!"

As soon as Mencius replied like this, Ju Xin was slightly angry, and said in a deep voice: "Ju Xin is telling the master, the study of Legalism is not the study of power!" ”

Ju Xin was furious, brushed his sleeves away, and after leaving the contention platform, he returned to the Fajia seat and sat on the ground, and Ju Xin no longer spoke.

"Such a Legalist, what is the way to learn from the troubled times and bring disaster to the world?"

As soon as Mencius said this, the princes continued to discuss, and the Confucian children all applauded.

"No, Master's words are very wrong!" As soon as Ji Xin sat down, Lin Mu said.

The Legalist family was "bullied", or Ju Xin, the person who was going to be included in his command in the future, was "bullied", Lin Mu naturally couldn't bear it, and now sitting in the Legalist sequence, although there are only two of them, they can't lose their momentum.

Don't care if the drama is willing to follow him Lin Mu and help him get angry!

When Mencius heard this, he said quietly and indifferently: "The argument should be reasonable and well-founded, but the step is unwarranted reprimand, how shallow!" ”

Lin Mu smiled silently at first, then got up with a slight bow, came to the contention stage and bowed to Mencius politely, and then sat down before saying: "Master is biased, all schools in the world have branches, and Confucianism in the world has also branched into eight since Confucius. The three factions of Legalism, Law, Technique, and Power have the same roots, all of which regard the recognition of the rule of law as fundamental, and each faction has its own focus in the implementation, Meng Fuzi ignores the fundamentals of Legalism and attacks one of them without the rest, which is really deliberately obliterated, and his judgment is rash and irrepetitive, how fallacious! ”

Lin Mu said eloquently, all the sons and hundreds of families turned their eyes to each other, and the drama Xin on the side nodded thoughtfully, looking at the past with admiration and gratitude, although they had only just met, but they were all in the same vein of the Legalists, and they had a great sense of sympathy.

"Dare to ask who is under your feet and what school is your teacher?!" Meng Fuzi looked at Lin Mu, he was young, and his words were neither humble nor arrogant, but he was also quite surprised.

Meng Fuzi spoke, Ju Xin got up slightly and said in a deep voice: "Rank scholar, this is a famous scholar of my Legalist school, and Meng Fan of Jin is also!" ”

When Mencius heard that he was a Legalist, he said indifferently: "The idea of the Legalist faction. The harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, what is enough. ”

Lin Mu also retorted unceremoniously: "Mengfuzi's theory of learning is not convicted first, which is insignificant. ”

Mo, Bing, Agriculture, Taoism and other hundreds of schools of thought saw the beginning of this hundred schools of thought, Legalism and Confucianism just from the front of the state of watching the play, the ninety-ninth Jixia dispute is afraid to start with the dispute between Confucianism and law, so it is not lively.

Jixia School Palace, not serving on state affairs, the style of study is fierce, all the sons defend their own ideas, and the contention of a hundred schools of thought is so magnificent.

Seeing that Lin Mu did not retreat, Mencius laughed at it, and said: "Human nature is good, but it is all lost by the three families of law, ink, and soldiers, and it is sad. ”

This word is equivalent to pulling the Mo family and the military family into the water, the two scholars who came to the school palace were very unhappy, Mencius said this is not surprising, Confucianism has always been "orthodox" to live in the Confucianism and the hundreds of schools of thought have disputes, Confucianism and Mo, Confucianism and Taoism, etc., for more than 100 years, they have been arguing endlessly, cutting and untidy and messy.

Meng Ke Meng Fuzi is certainly a generation of masters and sages in the world, but there is one thing that is not good, that is, everything that is not used to it must be counted, and even the kings of the countries have basically been scolded by him, and these monarchs have to serve with a good voice when they are scolded.

It is no wonder that later netizens ridiculed him as the "first troll" in the Warring States Period.

When Lin Mu heard Mencius say that human nature is good, his heart was particularly abrupt, and the hundreds of schools of thought contended, especially the ideas of the four schools of Confucianism, Mo, Law and Taoism, all of which could not avoid the problem of human nature, and the arguments were still a question of good and evil in human nature after all.

"Human nature is good, but it is not ......" Lin Mu said to himself, and then looked at Mencius with another salute, and said: "Master said that human nature is good, and Meng Fan said that human nature is evil!" ”

Is there evil in human nature?

This remark undoubtedly stirred up monstrous waves, Confucianism has always advocated the rule of virtue, advocating virtue in the world, the root of which is based on the goodness of human nature, so that the people can be educated with benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and music and virtue in the world, Lin Mu's remarks that human nature is evil are not only to cut off the foundation of Confucianism, but also to advocate and love of the Mohists also have to inexplicably lie down.

At this moment, Yu is a master of the Confucian generation, Meng Ke and Meng Fuzi were also slightly moved, and looked at Lin Mu with great curiosity. Motionlessly, he said, "The old man is willing to hear what he has to say!" ”

After a while, Jiang Sheng, all the sons and hundreds of schools in the school palace unanimously said: "I would like to hear Meng Fan's theory!" ”

Seeing this situation, the school palace commander raised his hands to signal the princes to be quiet, so he said: "Jixia school palace, there is no end to words, everyone can talk about it." ”

The hundreds of schools of thought were also silent, so Jiang brushed his eyes and looked at Lin Mu, wanting to hear his so-called evil in human nature.

A pair of eyes converged on Lin Mu's body, at this moment, it had become a dispute between Confucianism and law, Lin Mu first bowed to Mencius and then saluted the sons and hundreds of scholars in return.

After pondering for a while, Lin Mu thought of the Confucian "Analects" before talking about human nature, which contained the deeds of Confucius's student Zigong, and he was sure in his heart, so he said: "In the past, when Jingzi said Zigong, he said: The gentleman is just a gentleman, why is it a text?" ”

The meaning of this sentence is to say: A gentleman, since he has noble qualities, why not show it directly? Why do you still have to use etiquette to express it, why do you still talk about literature and dress more and more?

I saw Lin Mu say again: "Zigong said: Sorry! The master said, the gentleman also. Tongue-in-cheek. The quality of the text is also, and the quality is still the text. The tiger and the leopard are like dogs and sheep? ”。

Zigong replied to Jingzi's meaning: That's a tragedy, buddy! How can the gentleman say this, if you say it, it will be the water that will be spilled, and when you say it, you will not be able to catch up with four horses, and you will never be able to take it back. Haw, leopard, dogs and sheep all have fur, but the difference between them is that the fur of the tiger and leopard has lace lines, while the dog and sheep do not, if the fur of the tiger and leopard dog and sheep is shaved, then there is no difference between them. Therefore, the gentleman is like a tiger and a leopard, the literary quality is like a lace pattern, and the villain is like a dog and sheep without a lace pattern. Is there a difference between a tiger and a leopard without lace and a dog or sheep? In the same way, is there a difference between a gentleman and a villain if he has no literary etiquette? It is precisely because of the gentleman that he needs to be literate, moral, benevolent, righteous and etiquette, so as to distinguish the gentleman and the villain.

Lin Mu, who wants to argue about the good and evil of human nature, opens by citing the classics of Confucian ancestors and celebrities, and everyone, including Mencius himself, does not know what medicine he sells in his gourd.
