The hundreds of schools of thought above the hall of contention also quickly discovered that Lin Mu reversed the situation in an instant with just this question, and now the most tricky party is Meng Ke and Meng Fuzi, who is Confucian!

Ji Xin's eyes burst into light, and he exclaimed in his heart: "Brother Meng, I am not as good as one!" ”

At this moment, Mengzi was embarrassed, too embarrassed, facing Lin Mu's eyes that humbly asked for advice, but in Mencius's eyes, it was extremely dazzling and aggressive.

Because, Meng Ke and Meng Fuzi don't know either! He couldn't answer that question.

Mencius only knew that people must have a heart at the four ends, so he advocated benevolence and righteousness, and Zhou etiquette was feasible, but he didn't know why!

Mencius has the reputation of "great talent and eloquence, and there is no right in the world", but now he is being asked by the descendants of one night, but he is forced to the end of the road, which is really a great shame!

Of course, Mencius can't answer why, today, in addition to Lin Mu, there is another person who can answer, it is not anyone, it is another master of Confucianism, Xun Guo Xun Master is also!

It was this sage of Confucianism who helped Confucianism solve the root problem of this why.

But now, the crux of the matter is that it is now 323 BC, Xun Guo was born in 313 BC, and he will not be born until ten years later, so he can now answer this why.

There is no one else but Lin Mu!

But if you can't answer, it's a bad thing for Meng Ke, I'm afraid that the prestige of Confucianism will be greatly discounted today, and the face of Meng Ke, Meng Fuzi and Confucianism will also be discredited together.

At this moment, Mengzi on the seat trembled, and he couldn't speak, Mencius's face suddenly turned blue, since he traveled to the princes, how could he have been forced to advance and retreat like today.

If you can't answer, this Confucianism dispute is already obvious, Mencius did not say for a long time, but saw Lin Mu on the stage of the controversy and said: "All things in the world, water and fire are angry but not born, plants and trees are born and ignorant, birds and beasts are knowledgeable but unrighteous, only people are angry, alive, knowledgeable, and righteous, all of them, so people are the most noble in the world." ”

The princes of the Xue Palace were all amazed, all of them looked sideways because of Lin Mu's strange words, and they couldn't imagine that everything in the world was divided into four distinct levels in the eyes of him, a bachelor of law, but what made many people wonder was that there was no shortage of talented people here, how could these people suddenly feel that Lin Mu knew the true meaning of Confucianism in this paragraph? Is Confucianism the only one in the world that emphasizes strict hierarchy? Lin Mu even divides everything in the world into four levels? What is this not Confucianism? What's going on?

The lowest is fire and water, which is indeed breath but lifeless; Above it are plants and trees, living but not perceiving; The next is the beast (animal), which has perception and cognition but has no meaning (here righteousness is the meaning of no conscience, morality), and the highest is human.

People are at the top of the pyramid, so they are the most expensive in the world.

So Lin Mu came up with an answer, so he boldly said: "Yes, human nature is evil, and its good ones are hypocritical, all of them!" ”

The sons of the Jixia School Palace all nodded thoughtfully, people are the most noble in the world, this is recognized by everyone, and people have life, anger, knowledge, and righteousness.

Lin Mu used the phrase "human nature is evil, and its good is hypocritical" as a conclusion, which is to cleverly return to his original proposition of human nature good and evil, and the general meaning of this conclusion is that human nature is evil, and people are good, but that is man-made and caused by acquired factors.

"Sexual evil, good and hypocrisy, Meng Fan's theory, Cai!" The hundreds of schools of thought in the Jixia School Palace were excited, all clapping their hands and applauding "color", especially the drama Xin was full of joy and excitement, the Legalists actually produced such an incredible immortal talent, sitting and discussing, a smile and a smile are all articles, forcing Mencius, who is known as an eloquent talent, to retreat, how magnificent!

At the same time, he was also very puzzled, Lin Mu said so much, the sons present were a little dizzy, Lin Mu is a Legalist, and at this moment he is also a representative of Legalism and Confucianism, and at the same time, the arguments are well versed in some Confucian morality, so is he Lin Mu a Legalist or a Confucian? Quite a few people are confused!

However, on the issue of good and evil in human nature, the hundreds of schools of thought have always been debated, but Lin Mu opened a new door to the world for the first time today, dividing the question of good and evil in human nature into two.

Such a proposition can be described as unprecedented, so that the hundreds of schools of thought are refreshed and suddenly enlightened, just in this word, Lin Mu is enough to serve as a generation of masters.

After today's controversy and debate, "Brother Meng" will definitely be famous in the world and become another great master figure after Shang Ying since the Legalist faction Guan Zhong.

"Hahahaha!"

Just when all the princes were cheering for him, and everyone thought that Lin Mu was going to win this debate, Meng Fuzi on the seat heard that "human nature is evil, and its good ones are hypocritical!" And "people are the most expensive in the world" these two sentences and did not say a word for a long time, and suddenly a feeling of awakening came spontaneously, and the originally embarrassed face suddenly became excited, and for a while it was a gaffe and laughed.

All the sons and hundreds of schools of thought were surprised, why did Meng Fuzi laugh so much that he lost his temper because of laughter?

Isn't it angry and laughing? Or have you found a way to turn things around?

The Confucian scholars in the Zhengming Hall all sweated for Mengfuzi, and they didn't know what the situation was.

Meng Ke, who couldn't stop laughing, suddenly became calm and composed, and said: "Human nature is evil, and its good ones are hypocritical!" Wonderful!! The old man thought so, but the old man also had a question. ”

"Please make it clear to Master Meng!" Lin Mu looked like he was sitting still, and said politely, at first glance, he looked like he was in his chest, and he was not touched by whether Mencius could dismiss his remarks.

The princes looked at Meng Ke in amazement, could it be that Meng Fuzi also had strange words? Can you turn the tide under such a disadvantage?

Today's controversy between Confucianism and law, the theory of good and evil is really an eye-opener, and everyone who comes feels that this trip is worthwhile.

Mencius had something to say, so everyone looked at the head of the school palace, only to see Mencius stroked his beard and said: "The old man wonders, why is his good person 'hypocritical'?" ”

Why is human goodness artificial?

As soon as these words came out, all the sons were curious and playful, Meng Fuzi used his own way to govern his body, just like Lin Mu just threw out a why for Meng Fuzi's four ends, and now he is also fighting back against Lin Mu in the same way.

The controversy between Confucianism and law has reached a white-hot level for a while, and this debate is really wonderful. Both of them are indistinguishable.
