Chapter 124: The Man of the Thief, Xiang Yan?

Tian Jian snorted coldly, arched his hand slightly to the left, and then said: "The so-called move of my Tian clan on behalf of Qi to obey the will of the people is all agreed by the people of Qi country. Cheng Tang Dai Xia, Zhou Dai Shang, all conform to the will of the people, dare to ask the son, what is wrong with my Tian family? ”

"This?" Shu was clumsy for a while, unable to speak, and was anxious to sweat profusely on the side.

Tian Jian got up, walked into the side of Shu Hao, paced a few steps, and said: "Back then, the ancestor King Qi Xuan asked Mencius: Was there a matter of Tang Fang Ji and King Wu cutting down merchants?

Old Master Meng smiled at the ancestors and said: This is recorded by history, and it should not be wrong. ”

Speaking of this, Tian Jian sneered and shouted around: "Do you know, what did the ancestor say to Old Master Meng? ”

There was silence all around, those who knew the story looked at each other, not daring to answer, and those who didn't know looked puzzled, not knowing what Prince Jian was doing when he said this.

The musicians around also stopped playing, and the dancers of the Chu Kingdom also stopped their graceful dancing, and the world stopped at this moment.

The heavy sound of everyone's breathing kept ringing in their ears.

"Then I'll tell you, the ancestor asked Old Master Meng: Is it okay for a courtier to kill his own monarch?" Tian Jiandao.

"Shhh Everyone gasped, it was really bold to ask this sentence, they thought of this matter after a little thought, isn't it the legitimacy of the Tian family's Daiqi?

"Can a courtier kill his own king?" This sentence is difficult for anyone to answer, but I don't know how Old Master Meng answered this difficult question back then.

You must know that Confucianism has always advocated respecting the ancient and recovering the rites, and the ancient here is to learn from the ancient kings, Yu Shunyu, and Tang, as well as King Wen of Zhou, King Wu of Zhou, and the repetition of the rites refers to the etiquette formulated by Zhou Gongdan. The core idea of Confucianism is to pay attention to the relationship between the upper and lower levels, and want to strengthen the separation of various classes.

If Mencius says yes, then not only others look down on him, but even Confucian people look down on Mencius, if you want to say no, then Shang Tang Dynasty Xia, King Wu Xuan, how should you say it, this is a fundamental disintegration of Confucianism!

"I'll tell you this answer." A chuckle appeared at the corner of Tian Jian's mouth, revealing bad intentions.

Shu Mo and Fallacy were suddenly shocked in their hearts.

"Master Meng said: The thief is called a thief, and the thief is a thief; The thief is called a husband. Hearing the punishment of a husband. I haven't heard of killing the king. This sentence means that those who violate benevolence and righteousness are the people of thieves, even if they are on the throne, then he is also a thief, and the king of Wu who killed him is just a thief, how can it be said that the king of Wu killed the king?

Back then, Tian Xizi was dissatisfied with Qi Jinggong's indiscriminate collection of civil taxes and abuse of people's power. Borrow grain from the people, lend it with a big bucket, and take it back from a small bucket. This is benevolence and righteousness to the people, and this palace has not heard of the righteous being blamed by those who have violated discipline. Tian Jian said slowly, his face was full of admiration for Tian Xizi at that time.

In fact, he really didn't agree with Mencius's statement in his heart, although it alleviated the embarrassment, but also made the monarchs of the countries recognize the face of Confucianism, so although he argued skillfully, he lost the justice in his heart.

Looking at history, if the king is in chaos at the end of the dynasty in the past dynasties, it will only be a moment of suffering, if he is boiled to death in more than ten years, the world will be pure, just waiting for a Ming monarch. For example, at the end of the Han Dynasty, the population reached its peak, about 60 million, but it is difficult to say that the population was 10 million during the Three Kingdoms period.

However, this is another contradiction, is it better to revolt or is it not good?

Well, he was struck by lightning and his body was paralyzed, so he was fortunate to have some good nobles to help him, so as not to be rude to everyone.

Tian Jian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it was really a racking of his brains to debate with everyone, if he wanted not to offend the Chu State, but also to prove the justice of his Tian family's Daiqi, it was really not easy, he didn't want to come back to this debate a second time, it was too fucking hard.

If I hadn't been good at ancient literature and hadn't slept lazily during class, I would definitely not have remembered the unimportant Mencius dialogues in this chapter, and I wouldn't have today's brilliant reversal of defeat to victory.

What Howski said: Knowledge is power. Well, let me tell you, history is power.

For example, it can't be difficult for me Tian Jian after all. The history of 5,000 years is not learned in vain, and in this era where you can be a guest of honor if you have a wonderful debate, you can become a top-notch talent by reading the scriptures and history.

"The debate between the princes and the emperor is really wonderful."

A gentle voice walked into Tian Jian's ears, he looked back, his eyes suddenly shrank, this young man was one of the few people who were surrounded by everyone when he entered the palace banquet.

A smile appeared on Tian Jian's face, and he asked kindly, "Your Excellency?" ”

"Down there is Xiang Yan." The young man replied.

"Xiang Yan?" Tian Jian was suddenly shocked in his heart, this was more than his surprise when he saw Anping Jun Tian Dan, Xiang Yan may not be famous, but his grandson Xiang Yu is well known to everyone.

So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong.

Li Qingzhao's poem can be said to be very well written, and he still thinks of Xiang Yu and refuses to cross Jiangdong. Inexplicable sadness.

Thinking of the poems that Xiang Yu made when he killed himself in Wujiang, "Pull out the mountains and cover the world." The times are not good, and the smos will not pass. It's not going to pass away, but it's okay! Yu Xi Yu Xi Nao! ”

All kinds of thoughts flashed in Tian Jian's heart, and he carefully looked at Xiang Yan in front of him. A bright white soft armor was worn on him, if he didn't pay attention, I was afraid he wouldn't be able to notice, two long eyebrows with cloudy sideburns, a little tall nose bridge, thin lips, and a heroic face.

Xiang Yan looked at Tian Jian with some doubts, is he so famous?

Tian Jian's face suddenly calmed down, and he asked with a smile, "What's the matter with General Xiang?" ”

"Hearing His Highness's words, Yan was surprised and wanted to drink the wine together." Xiang Yan raised the wine in his hand and said.

Tian Jianleng paused, also picked up the wine lord behind him, signaled, drank it all, and then asked: "It is said that the Xiang family is the queen of Lu Gong, I don't know if what this palace said is correct." ”

According to Tian Jian's understanding, the Xiang clan first belonged to the Lu State, not the Chu State.

A look of pride appeared on Xiang Yan's face, after all, this is a very face-saving thing, and said: "Back then, Zhou Gong divided the world, and his son Bo Yu belonged to the Lu State, and Shu Du was born to Shu Du, and Shu Du gave birth to the ancestor Xiang Sac. ”

"It turns out that the Xiang family is really a family of Lu Gong, and it is also a family surnamed Ji." Tian Jian said "surprised".

This kind of deliberate compliment is a common way to deal with it, among the nobles above the bloodline, the surname Ji is undoubtedly the oldest nobleman, and it is also a disguised compliment to say that Xiang Yan is the descendant of Duke Lu. Just like some people love relatives of their ancestors, Li Yuan's ancestor is Laozi Li Er, and Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestor is Zhu Xi.

Chapter 8 of King Hui of Liang asked, "Tang Fangji, King Wu is fighting, are there you?" Mencius said, "There is something in the transmission." He said, "Can a minister kill his king?" He said, "The thief is a thief, and the thief is a thief; The thief is called a husband. Hearing the punishment of a husband. I haven't heard of killing the king."

It's hard to write these words without two brushes! I'm tired! Ask for tickets, tickets!

In a few more chapters, it's time to write about the duel between Bai Qi and Tian Dan, and to study tactics. Woes!
