Zhuangzi didn't expect that Song Quecheng's move was ruthless enough.

Although the Song State continued to follow the Taoist route, he did not use your Zhuangzi's people, and did not reuse unofficial Taoists. Taoists who are not officially recognized, those Taoists who do not accept "Zhao'an", will not have to be trivial, and will drive you away.

We Song Kingdom! Only reuse Taoists who have passed the national qualification examination. Only after the qualification certificate issued by the Ministry of Labor and other relevant state departments can you be qualified to work.

The Taoists cultivated by your Zhuangzi, the Taoists behind your Zhuangzi, and the Dharma protectors behind your Zhuangzi are all "copycats" and are not officially recognized by the Song State.

"Only by standing in the perspective and position of the people to govern the country can the country have long-term peace and stability. The state exists because of the people, not the state and then the people. So! The power of the state is less than the power of the people, and the power of the state is the ...... given by the people"

My sister-in-law talked about what a country is.

Her words were exactly the same as what Zhuangzi said when he debated with Mencius in the Jixia Academy.

Both Mrs. Sister-in-law and Zhuangzi believe that the state is formed naturally by protecting the interests of the people. When the state cannot protect the interests and security of the people, the state does not exist. When the state fails to protect the interests and security of the people, the institutions of the state become the shackles that bind the people. When the state fails to protect the interests and security of the people, the power of the state is above the people......

So! Only from the perspective of the interests of the people and the management of the people in the form of a state can we be correct.

At present, the situation of the Song State is obviously "official", and the country is managed from the perspective and position of national interests and the interests of the king. Although it is a Taoist route, the nature of the fundamental has changed.

Listening to his sister-in-law's words, Zhuangzi suddenly felt like crying.

Only then did he deeply understand: why did those Taoist hermits want to "take the Song from the Taoists", why did the old man Bai Guibai ask him to "take the Song from the Zhuang family", and why did those Taoist hermits and protectors leave him after the failure of the uprising?

Originally! These people have long seen that if Taoism does not take power, Taoist doctrine cannot spread. Although Song Quecheng took the Taoist route in the Song Kingdom, after all, he was a king. As a king, he must manage the country from the standpoint and perspective of his own interests, and everything must serve him as a king.

He is a king, he is not a Taoist.

But? He! He! He Zhuang Zhou really didn't want to do that, he didn't want Zhuang to take Song or Taoism to take Song.

Before he knew the relationship between Song and his mother, he didn't want the Zhuang family to take the Song, and he didn't want the Taoist to take the Song. After knowing that his mother and Song were brother and sister, he didn't want the Zhuang family to take the Song or the Taoist to take the Song.

But? What if he doesn't? All the efforts he had made were in vain.

Yes! What Mrs. Sister-in-law said is not wrong, the official road is different from the civil road! The nature of the two is different. The official way is from the perspective and interests of the king, while the people's way is from the position of the people.

The nature of the two is different, the starting point is different, and the purpose of governance is also different. One is to serve the people, and the other is to serve the king......

"This, this, this? It's not that you're incompetent, it's my Zhuangzi's incompetence! I'm incompetent! Zhuangzi had to admit that he was incompetent.

In the previous time, I heard Zhang Shan say that he didn't mix in the lacquer garden, and the territory was robbed, and he laughed at Zhang Shan. said that Zhang Shan couldn't get along in the lacquer garden, so where could he get along in the Great Zhou world?

After listening to his sister-in-law's words, he had a hunch that not only would he not be able to get along in the Qi Garden, but he would not be able to get along in the Song Kingdom.

Now that Song Kuocheng has already taken action and driven away all the Taoists preaching in the lacquer garden, so! The next person to be driven away is him Zhuang Zhou, the inheritor of Taoism.

"Master? What do we do now? Mrs. Sister-in-law asked thoughtlessly.

Zhuangzi thought for a moment and said, "What else? There is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here! If not, we can't live in seclusion? ”

"Seclusion?" Mrs. Sister-in-law asked puzzled.

"Cultivate in seclusion, preserve the inheritance of Taoist doctrines, and wait for future generations to have the opportunity to make plans again. Taoism has been inherited for hundreds of years, and it has not been publicly disseminated, and it has not been recognized by the world and the king. Hasn't it enriched and verified the correctness of Taoist doctrine and thought, and perfected the Taoist doctrine and theory? Isn't it? ”

The sister-in-law sighed and said, "What's the use of getting the king's approval?" The king only used the Taoist doctrine and followed the Taoist route to strengthen the country, and the final result was: once the country was strong, when it came to the period of children and grandchildren, the princes began to compete for hegemony again.

That's it! This generation of kings believed in Taoism, but when it came to his children and grandchildren, they didn't know whether to believe in Taoism or not? ”

"Maybe? I was wrong! I could have been really wrong! Mr. Bai's original thinking and approach was right, and I should listen to him. For the sake of Taoism, no! For the sake of the world! I should go to Zhuang's to get Song! Or is it the Taoist Song, I shouldn't be stubborn, I should change my thinking? I was wrong! ”

"Master! You? You? What did you just say? Mrs. Sister-in-law suddenly asked with a sudden excitement.

"Me? I said I was wrong! I could be wrong! ”

"Master, what did you just say? Zhuang's Song or Taoism's Song? True? Is there really such a thing? ”

"You? Have you heard something? ”

"Me? I? Mrs. Sister-in-law said apologetically: "When I was in the Lacquer Garden, I only cared about my own cultivation, and I didn't understand the situation outside through the inner vision. Since he married the concubine and came back, there are no intimate people around me, and the intimate people have been driven away by the concubine. So! No one has spoken to me anymore. So! I don't know what's going on out there......"

"What about you? Why did you ask about it? ”

"Me? I? Once in a while, I heard what the mayor said through the insider, as if someone in the family was going to rebel. Some people also speculate that in the end, the Taoist Song was taken by the Zhuang family. And then! The envoy of the Song State said: The Lord also thinks so, so! All followers of Zhuangzi are replaced! Diehards! Kill! I didn't hear anything after that, and for some reason I withdrew from the inner vision. Afterward! I inquired again, but I didn't hear anything else! That's it! ”

After listening to his sister-in-law's words, Zhuangzi was shocked again!

He didn't expect that Song Kuocheng would still attack him. Although he attacked his followers by Taoism, in fact, the final spearhead was still aimed at him Zhuang Zhou.

After completing the control of the entire Song State Taoism, after the Song Kingdom became an "official Tao", he Song Kuocheng was going to attack my Zhuang Zhou.

Song Cucheng attacked him, Zhuangzi had expected it, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
