Seeing that everyone was very interested in survival, Yang Zhu spent another day answering everyone's questions. Until everyone else is tired of it, and no one is too embarrassed to ask questions anymore. The next day, he began to talk about governing the world and "using soldiers in troubled times".

In early summer, the weather in Mengxian County is not so hot. But! Standing in the sun still makes people sweat slightly. The sweat beads on the foreheads of the people under the podium glistened in the sunlight, like stars in the night sky.

On the podium, the bird slippery left, and the Mo family disciples did not come up. Only Master Yang Zhu, Tianya Nameless and the Man in Black remained, as well as a few Taoist Dharma Protectors.

After preaching the sermon, the fate of mankind, the selfishness of human nature, the persistence of a dime, and the study of survival how to survive in the cracks, these philosophies of life, world view, and cosmology, it will be much easier to talk about how to govern the world.

With a correct outlook on life, the world, and the universe, it will naturally be easier to handle world affairs.

“…… Soldiers in troubled times, first of all! Let's talk about what troubled times are? Troubled times lie in the word 'chaos'! What is chaos? There is no order, no order, I go my own way, stand up as the king, and break the original pattern, which is called chaos. ”

After defining chaos, Yang Zhu cited many examples to illustrate.

For example: The Great Zhou world is no longer the Great Zhou of the past, it is already chaotic and exists in name only. The Great Zhou world has been divided among the seven princes of Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, and Qin. At this time, in this troubled world, if you still abide by the etiquette law, abide by the Zhou system, and abide by the laws of the Great Zhou, you will be pedantic, you will be passive, and you will not be flexible. The Great Zhou Dynasty has existed in name only, it no longer exists, what are you still doing with that etiquette and system?

By this time, it is equivalent to a change of dynasty. If you still abide by the rituals and systems of the Great Zhou, you are fighting against the new system.

In fact, it also proves that the princes, kings, and most people have not complied. The princes and kings have formulated the etiquette and system they promote, and if you still abide by them, you are either a fool or a tendon.

In this chaotic period, whoever holds the power will obey their laws, which is called adaptation. And only in this way can you survive. Otherwise! You are a rebel. Just button a hat for you, if the power holder wants you to die, you will die, and if you want you to live, you can live.

If it is simply to change the dynasty, it is enough to be a submissive citizen. But? In times of chaos, it is not that chaos is good, but that chaos continues. The winner is the king and the loser is the king, and the law of one king and one dynasty has changed again. You've just changed your mind and started to obey the new law, but you've changed the law again. You keep the new law, and the old forces take you and say you don't keep the new law; You keep the old law, and the new forces come and clean you up, saying that you don't keep the law. Anyway! You're not a power holder, you're not human!

“…… Why couldn't Confucius carry out his ideas? It's because he was born in troubled times. During the time of Confucius, the Zhou system was largely abolished. At this time, the Zhou system, Zhou rites, etc. have not only become decorations, but also have become shackles that bind the people. When the kings need to use the Zhou system, Zhou rites, etc., they will take out the Zhou system, Zhou rites, and so on to punish your sins. When you obey the laws and etiquette of the Great Zhou, people sell you new laws.

Anyway! During this period, you are not a power holder, you are nothing! You are at the mercy of others!

So! Confucianism cannot govern troubled times.

Because! In troubled times, there was no one to keep the law. All laws are nullified, and everything is left to those in power. If someone else asks you to live, you can live, and if someone else lets you die, you have to die. It's time for this! Survival comes first, and people's first thought is how to survive in this troubled world.

In troubled times, Legalists can't rule the law! No one abides by the law, everyone has broken the law, and if you use the law, everyone in the world is a sinner!

At this time, only soldiers, with soldiers, use force to solve the situation in troubled times first, and dominate the world. And then! Use the law to rule the world. Wait until people's hearts are stable, and then govern them with Confucianism! ……”

Speaking of troubled times, when it comes to the abolition of the laws and etiquette of the Great Zhou, when it comes to the fact that people in the world do not know which law to obey, who to listen to or not to protect themselves, and survival is the first place, there are people under the podium who are in a hurry. Needless to say, a Confucian disciple. What do they use as dogmas for "loyalty, faithfulness, propriety, righteousness" and so on.

Some people say that they should be loyal to the Great Zhou, and they should follow the example of the sages Dade Boyi and Shuqi, and after the fall of the Shang Dynasty, they "did not eat Zhou Su" and died; Some people say that no matter how chaotic the times are, we must have the principles of being a man, and we must emphasize integrity, etiquette, and righteousness......

Some Taoist disciples also stood up to refute it, saying: "When Mr. Yang Zhu talked about how to be a man before, I listened to you in dogma on how to govern the country; Right now! When Mr. Yang Zhu talked about governing the country and governing the troubled times, you jumped out to talk about how to behave? What the hell are you trying to say? ……”

Aren't you fucking up?

A new round of controversy began, and the most opposed to the theory of "using troops in troubled times" were Confucian disciples.

Almost all Confucian disciples gave Yang Zhu a big hat, believing that Yang Zhu was agitating for the rebellion of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Isn't it a rebellion to rule the world with soldiers?

Arguments were normal, and during the Warring States period, there were many people who studied Confucianism. Although Confucianism has a certain truth, not many people abide by it in troubled times. In troubled times, survival comes first. The Zhou system was abolished, the etiquette collapsed, and Confucius was not successful in popularizing it, and the voices of Confucian disciples were naturally quickly suppressed by the voices of other schools of doctrine.

"Soldier! Force, too! ”

On the podium, Yang Zhu began to speak again.

"Take! Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Truce also! Hugh also! Wu means to say, to stop martial arts with martial arts! And not a truce! The truce is the goal! Stopping force by force is the means! Some people also say that to stop fighting for force is not to use force. That's a misunderstanding! That's in peacetime! Try not to use force, so as not to waste the people and money, and the lives of the people. That means not to engage in aggression, not to use force at all! When someone else comes to kill you with a weapon in their hand, will you stop fighting?

Soldiers stop fighting! Soldiers defend the country! How can it be said that martial arts are used to stop fighting and cannot be used?

To unify the world by force, only when the world is unified and power is concentrated can the country be ruled by law. Otherwise? Carrying out the law only in one place and not in other places will result in unfair law enforcement in the world and disobedience to the people of the world. The rule of law can only be promoted on the basis of the unification of the whole world......"

On the topic of "using soldiers in troubled times", Yang Zhu spent another three days to explain what "chaos" is and under what circumstances soldiers can be used! If you don't explain clearly what chaos is, you will be labeled as a big hat and say that you are advocating for others to rebel! Or! Say you're anti/social/will be somewhere.

If someone is labeled as a "rebel", Yang Zhu will not be able to continue preaching. He'd been through it before. Prior to this, Taoism was pursued by the Mohists because of their theories such as "using soldiers in troubled times".

In a word, if you want to awaken the people of the Great Zhou world, some people will be afraid. If there are fewer fools in the world, they will not be able to deceive people. Without fools, some people can't continue to be powerful.
