Chapter 541: Mencius Leaves Jixia School Palace
Yesterday evening, after arguing with Zhuangzi, Meng Ke returned to his residence, restless.
He has always been very cautious in his dealings with people, and he is very attentive in what he says. Where did you come up with it? Why did I meet Yang Zhu's granddaughter Yang Qing'er, who became too much.
It's true! Xiucai meets soldiers, and it is unclear whether it is reasonable.
When you meet someone like Yang Qing'er, you can't reason with her at all.
Again! He felt that he couldn't make sense with Zhuangzi.
In front of Zhuangzi, their Confucianism was fundamentally wrong. Zhuangzi thinks so, and if you want to argue with him, it's really not an easy task.
Since you can't argue with Zhuangzi, it means that you really scolded Yang Zhu.
"Am I not? Am I not? I? Am I just using an analogy? I say! If you don't want to help others, then you don't become a beast? What is the difference between a man and an animal? Isn't that an analogy? I? ”
Meng Ke was very aggrieved!
He defended himself countless times in his heart, but? What's the use of justifying yourself?
Yang Qing'er grabbed you and scolded, "Yang Zhuye!" The beast is also "such a sentence, just think that you scolded her grandfather Yang Zhu, and I will be entangled with you.
And what about Zhuangzi? He doesn't hold on to this, but! From the perspective of Confucianism, not only do you think that your words are wrong, but also that your Confucian theoretical starting point is wrong.
People directly say that you Confucians talk about things from the perspective of managing society and the country, not from the perspective of people.
People say: Society and the country are a combination of people, and only by saving and governing people first can we talk about saving and governing the country.
In front of Zhuangzi, he found it difficult for him to refute his Taoist theories. It's true! For the time being, he could not refute the Taoist theories taught by Zhuangzi.
It is the combination of people that form society and country, and this is indeed the case. The state is formed because of people, and it is in order to better protect the people that this model of the state is formed. So! State institutions cannot be above the people.
This! He also couldn't refute Zhuangzi. Opposite! He must also share this view.
But? How should individual people be edified?
If we don't use Confucian methods and don't implement Zhou rituals, what do we use to educate our people?
The starting point of Taoism is to stand in the perspective of individual people, first to divide society and the state into pieces, to educate individual people, and then to reorganize individual people into families, clans, groups, and countries.
And we Confucians, from the perspective of state managers, to educate the people, isn't it faster and more effective? In Confucianism, we first combined individual people into society and the state for unified education. And then! Then carry out the whole and zero education.
Don't? Isn't that okay?
Taoism is to first divide society and the state into parts, and then reorganize them. Confucianism, on the other hand, is to take advantage of the situation and use state institutions to combine individual people for unified education. And then! Carry out the indoctrination of the whole into parts.
Confucianism and Taoism are just different from each other in terms of theoretical starting point, but this does not mean that the Confucian theory is completely wrong.
Don't? Is the Taoist theory so perfect?
After the Taoist socialization is reduced to zero, what if? Can't be reorganized?
If that's the case? Isn't society and the state completely dispersed?
It turns out! The reorganization of Taoism is a failure!
It will only cause more people to go to the mountains to live in seclusion, living in isolation. It makes people escape from reality and dare not face it......
And we, Confucianism, advocate a "positive life".
Thinking of this, Meng Ke had the confidence to continue debating with Zhuangzi.
But? As soon as he thought of Yang Qing'er's posture, he cringed again.
Think about it, finally! Meng Ke still decided: temporarily leave the Jixia School Palace and temporarily avoid Yang Qing'er's entanglement.
I can't provoke it, I can't tell you clearly, I can't hide from you, so you can't do it?
Meng Ke left a letter, did not say hello to anyone, took his scholar, with his regrets, and left the Jixia School Palace overnight.
This is the first time that Meng Ke, who later became the sub-saint Mencius, came to Jixia School Palace. He stayed for a short time, and under the threat of Yang Qing'er, he quietly left.
Originally! He wanted to open a lecture and preach in the Jixia School Palace and spread Confucianism. Outcome! Contrary to his wishes, he had to return to his hometown and devote himself to studying, while teaching to make ends meet.
Tian Gongzi's Tian Fu.
"Boom!"
"What? Meng Ke left the Jixia School Palace? What the? ”
When I returned to my brother's Tian Gongzi, I learned that Meng Ke and Meng Caizi left the Jixia School Palace and left the capital last night. was so angry that he threw the tea bowl on the ground on the spot, and was furious at the messenger, as if the messenger had driven Meng Ke away.
"He left a letter! Tian Gongzi! ”
The messenger carefully handed the letter up.
It was the first time he had seen their son-in-law so angry?
In their minds, Tian Gongzi is very good. Knowledgeable, knowledgeable, ambitious, dedicated to the people...... Nor has he ever been so unprovoked to be angry with them.
"It's all Yang Qing'er's duck voice! If she hadn't threatened Meng Ke and Meng Caizi, Meng Caizi would not have left! Tian Gongzi! ”
After reading the letter left by Meng Ke, Tian Gongzi let out a long sigh.
It's true! Meng Ke's departure is a big loss for the Qi State!
Zhuang Zhou! You? What are you capable of? You're just a clever talker!
Zhuang Zhou! How did you get the title of "son"? Why? An unclear and controversial person, you are also worthy of being called a "son"? You?
Zhuang Zhou? When you worshipped Yang Zhu as your teacher, did you really really apprentice? You don't have the idea of revenge?
Zhuang Zhou? Is your master Yang Zhu really feathered and ascended? Still is? Killed by you? You avenged the murder of your father in your early years, and pretended to live in seclusion in the mountains? Who proved to you that you lived in seclusion with Master in the mountains? Who proved to you that your master was feathered and ascended?
Zhuang Zhou! You're finished! There's something wrong with your personality! There's something wrong with you! You have shit in your ass! You, a problematic person, are not worthy to be the inheritor of Taoist doctrine!
Zhuang Zhou! You're finished! I'm not done with you!
"Let's go! Go to the Jixia School Palace! ”
Tian Gongzi stood up and walked outside.
His subordinates hurriedly ran to the front and prepared a car for Tian Gongzi.
Right now! Tian Gongzi regretted that he should not have arranged for Zhuangzi to preach in the Jixia School Palace. For a controversial person like Zhuangzi, Jixia Xuegong should not be taken in.
But! It's been arranged, and it can't be withdrawn, so that's it.
But! Can't just let him Zhuang Zhou succeed easily.
Zhuangzi's clever words are eloquent, and he is convinced. If he Zhuangzi has gained a firm foothold in the Jixia School Palace through two days of preaching, then? He really deserved to be killed by a headfirst attack.
How about it? Now go to the Jixia School Palace to make arrangements, do some tricks, so that Zhuang Zhou can't preach.
