Chapter 979: Gongsun Yan's Confession
After listening to Zhuangzi's explanation, Gongsun Yan stood up, came to Zhuangzi and respectfully knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to Zhuangzi. Eighty-one? Chinese? ≈≥≠.≤8≈1≤Z≤≥.=C≈O≈M≠ then! Lying on the ground.
Crying: "I really didn't realize this! It's true! Woowoo woo ......"
Zhuangzi stretched out a hand and used the Heart Realm Exercise to help Gongsun Yan up.
"Sit down! Tell me about it! Are you really wrong? Do you recognize yourself wrong? ”
Gongsun Yan lay down in front of him again, respectfully kowtowed to Zhuangzi three times, lay there, and said, "I really didn't realize that it was my fault that the soldiers killed each other!" I just thought: since Wei can't reuse me, I'll go to Qin. I still hope to stay in Wei as an official and do things for Wei! After all! I am from Wei.
But! Wei doesn't reuse me. I just went to the Qin State at the invitation of the Qin State. I was! I think I can show my skills in the Qin State and let the Qin State dominate the world. Outcome! Still let me down! Originally, I wanted to govern the Qin State with Zhang Yi. Outcome! This Zhang Yi! He doesn't remember it at all! I recommended him to come to Qin State as an official, and the result! He always had trouble with me.
This is not? I can't stay in Qin anymore, so I want to go back to Wei. So! I contacted Wei State. I thought at the time! I have the capital to return to Wei. I have shown my talents in the Qin State, and the Wei State will definitely reuse mine.
Outcome! Wei promised to reuse me, and I decided to go back. But? The matter of my contact with Wei was still known to Zhang Yi. Fortunately, Zhang Yi hadn't been killed yet, didn't want my life, and let me go back to Wei.
I was thinking: Although I have done something for the Qin State and damaged the Wei State and my mother country, it doesn't matter! As long as Wei reuses me, I can also save the loss. I was so confident at that time, and my ability was above Zhang Yi. I'm here! Zhang Yi will be defeated!
Outcome! The five-nation alliance I organized failed! I'm defeated! I was defeated in front of Zhang Yi.
Mr! My Gongsun Yan is not so cruel! Let the soldiers of all countries kill each other! It's true! I didn't think about that at the time! I just wanted to show off my talents! I'm better than Zhang Yi. Outcome! That's it!
Right! What the gentleman said is not wrong! Be! It was my father-in-law Sun Yan who started one war after another for his own selfishness and in order to show his talents! But? Mr! I'm really not that cruel! I'm really not that cruel! It's true! When I saw the corpses all over the battlefield, my heart hurt too! It's true! Woowoo woo ......"
Thinking of the time when the Qin ** team defeated the Wei ** team, and when the battlefield was full of the corpses of Wei soldiers, Gongsun Yan remembered that he cried at that time.
Especially the soldiers of the Wei State who were injured on the battlefield at that time and couldn't run and couldn't escape, the people of the Qin ** team asked how to deal with it, and his Gongsun Yan said: Kill!
"War! It's a human war! Killing the soldiers of the Wei State is equivalent to killing the people of the Wei State. If these disabled soldiers let them go, they will not be able to fight, but they will still be able to go home and show their population. So! Must be killed! Capturing them is not the way to go! They can't fight, and we have to give them food. So! Must be killed! ”
Remembering the order he gave back then, really! Gongsun Yan felt that he was really cruel! To know! On his orders! And how many soldiers of the mother country died on their own soil?
So! Under the war he moved, the defeated country had no wounded and no prisoners, only dead soldiers.
In the last battle, the Qin State won another great victory, and the Qin ** team killed countless Korean soldiers. The state of Qin still used his original method of dealing with the battlefield, and all the wounded died.
When he saw the corpses of Korean soldiers who had died because of him everywhere, he wept again.
It's true! He's not that cruel!
It's true! He really didn't realize it was all his cruelty at the time!
Under Zhuangzi's point, Gongsun Yan finally realized that he was indeed like that! It's cruel. Be! He had to admit it! He did it for his own selfishness. But at that time, he didn't think that he was selfish, but! Express yourself positively and prove yourself.
His original intention was the same, which was to hope that the world would be unified as soon as possible, put an end to the situation of princes dominating, and give the people a peaceful world.
As for the use of any method to govern society after the unification of the world, he did not consider it.
What he saw! It's just the chaotic world that we are currently facing. In this troubled world, the only way to solve the troubled times is war! Use force to dominate the world!
It's true! As for the use of any method to govern society after the unification of the world, he did not consider it.
It is the business of other wise men to perform their duties and govern the world. And he! What I see is the unification of the world, and how to unify the world.
Furthermore! His life realm is only so high, he has not seen so much and so far. He was at the beginning! He does not just start a war for the sake of showing himself, nor does he start a war entirely for the sake of gambling, he is completely on the level of defeating the other side, controlling the other side, winning a partial victory, and then winning a greater victory. So! He didn't think it was cruel for soldiers from all countries to kill each other. Opposite! I also think that this is a historical necessity!
War! It's about killing each other! If you don't kill each other, how can you defeat each other and make each other admit defeat?
It is precisely because of this idea that so! He could not see the cruelty of killing each other.
But? When he saw the corpses strewn across the battlefield, he still had compassion. Although he couldn't bear it, he could endure it in order to achieve his selfish goals.
Repentance is over! Gongsun Yan began to ask.
"Sir! That? What about Gongsun Yandang? What should the world do? What should this world look like? ”
Gongsun Yan thought to himself: If everyone doesn't do anything, this world will only be chaotic forever. Albeit! What we are doing is wrong and not conducive to the way of the world going in the right direction.
"Save yourself first! Save your family again! Save the people around you again! Save the world again! Zhuangzi said earnestly.
"Save yourself? Save your family again? Save the people around you? That? Gongsun Yan was puzzled and asked, "How can you save the world?" ”
"Society and the state are formed by the combination of individuals. So! We need to save ourselves first! If we are saved ourselves, will society and the country be saved in an all-round way? Zhuangzi enlightened.
"This? This? Gongsun Yan asked suspiciously, "How is this similar to what Confucianism says?" ”
"No!" Zhuangzi interrupted: "The Confucian 'self-denial and revenge' is still to cater to the interests of social management and the king, while the Taoist is to truly save oneself!" ”
Gongsun Yan let out an "oh" and nodded as if he didn't understand.
"Ask Mr. for advice!"
