"Dare to ask Chao Langzhong what is the meaning of this 'social relationship'?" Yuan Gusheng asked with some confusion.

Chao Buzhi said with a smile: "The so-called social relations refer to the general term of the mutual relations formed by people in the process of common material and spiritual activities, that is, all the relationships between people. ”

After Yuan Gusheng heard Chao Buzhi's words, he began to ponder carefully, at first he didn't think about it, but the more he pondered, the more he found the deep meaning contained in the two plain words.

So Yuan Gusheng asked puzzledly: "Chao Langzhong, how old is the old man who is older than you, he has been studying diligently for decades, and he has dabbled in many schools, but why haven't you seen the "Selected Works of Man" you mentioned?" ”

And the person who can say such simple and thought-provoking words must be a generation of sages, but why has Ma Zi's doctrine not been passed down to future generations? If it weren't for you saying this, I'm afraid ·····" Speaking of this, Yuan Gusheng suddenly seemed to understand something, and his face couldn't help but become a little gray.

Although I know that the ancients called everyone "Zi" for learning, in order to show respect, after all, Lao Tzu, Confucius, Mencius, Zhuangzi and other ancient ancients, but when I heard Yuan Gusheng call Ma En Ma Zi, Chao Bu squirted out a sip of tea, the meaning of this word is too deep.

So Chao Buzhi hurriedly said: "Yuan Gugong, Ma En is the surname of two people, not his name, their real names are no longer testable, of course, I also respect the two sages very much." ”

This is not Chao Buzhi's bragging, but from the bottom of his heart, the two great mentors, he must be very respectful, after all, in his previous life, he also wanted to become the existence of two disciples, although he did not succeed.

When Yuan Gusheng heard Chao Buzhi's words, he suddenly became interested again and said, "So you are not a horse... The heirs of the doctrine of the Marne? ”

It turns out that this old man's face changed just now because of this! Chao Buzhi and Yan Zhu glanced at each other, and both sides saw what the other was thinking.

Chao Buzhi sighed and said: "Although I want to think about it very much, but my qualifications are dull, and I can't enter the door!" ”

Chao Buzhi's words are not false, after all, he works in the library and is also a state official, who doesn't want to be the heir of Maen!

However, the number of places was limited, and Chao Buzhi did not choose the report three times, but just when the leader promised that he would be in the next batch, he came directly to the Han Dynasty.

As soon as they heard Chao Buzhi's words, Yuan Gusheng and Yan Zhu both changed their faces, are you stupid?

Let's put aside the medical skills, a single "Treatise on the Six Kingdoms" can make it difficult for nine percent of the people in Chang'an to match, and your eloquence is so sharp, I'm afraid that even the heirs of the Zongheng family will not be able to please you in front of you.

Isn't there a lot of genius in this Marne doctrine?

Chao Buyi knew that they had misunderstood by looking at the faces of the two, so he explained: "But as far as I know, there seems to be no successor of the Marne doctrine in the contemporary era, and perhaps in a few thousand years, their doctrine can be as bright as the bright moon, and it can only be looked up to." ”

Yuan Gusheng and Yan Zhu's faces looked a little better, of course, in the latter sentence, they only thought that Chao Buzhi regretted this school's doctrine, but they didn't know that what Chao Buzhi said was exactly the truth.

"Let's talk about the 'good and evil' just now, I have one more sentence here, please ask Yuan Gugong for advice."

"There is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a character." Chao Buzhi then explained: "This sentence is simple to explain, that is, if you have a kitchen knife, the kitchen knife itself is 'no good and no disgust', that is to say, there is no good and no evil. ”

"But you can use a kitchen knife to cut people, and you can also use a kitchen knife to cut vegetables and meat, which is called 'good and evil'."

"If we identify the use of kitchen knives within a certain law and scope, cutting people is evil, and cutting vegetables and meat is good, which is 'knowing good and knowing evil is conscience'."

"Since we want to make the best use of things, then we can only use kitchen knives to cut vegetables and meat without cutting people, so that 'doing good and evil is a thing'."

"Does Yuan Gu think so?"

Yuan Gusheng heard this, thought for a moment, and sighed: "Chao Langzhong integrates hundreds of schools, pedantic heaven and man, and everything he says is a wise saying, and he can already become a school of his own. I might as well too! ”

Yan Zhu also nodded frequently when he heard this, obviously agreeing with Yuan Gusheng's words.

This made Chao Buzhi a little embarrassed, because this sentence was said by Wang Yangming, a master of mental learning, he was just picking up people's teeth and wisdom, he was just about to explain again, but Yuan Gusheng said stubbornly: "Chao Langzhong doesn't need to say it again, the old man has already understood that you want to blame this sentence on other people, yes or no?" ”

"Although Li Si once assisted the tyrannical Qin in burning books and pit Confucianism, it is impossible to burn such a talented article and theory, after all, Li Si is also a talented person, do you say that what the old man said is right?"

Yes, it's okay now, even the previous sentence suspects that he said it in the name of someone else, and it's not embarrassing to make up for it.

Yuan Gusheng sighed again and said: "Chao Langzhong, your knowledge can already be regarded as a masterpiece, what you lack is only to write books and lectures, no wonder you look down on our Confucianism, after all····· There are also many contradictions within Confucianism! ”

"So the old man's second question, how should Confucianism develop, can you give an answer?" Yuan Gusheng said hopefully.

Chao Buzhi pondered for a while and said: "Although I am a little anxious, this is a well-known thing, so I will no longer deny it, otherwise it will be obvious that I am hypocritical, but I dare not discuss this kind of major matter involving the development of the school." ”

Seeing Yuan Gusheng's somewhat disappointed eyes, Chao Buzhi couldn't bear it, after all, this old man is also old, and he has some merits, and maybe he can use his strength in the future, so he continued: "But I can send Yuan Gugong a word, this sentence was also said just now, and I added some more." ”

"Outer Confucianism and Inner Law, the unity of knowledge and action, the inner saint and the outer king." Chao Buzhi said categorically, this is not a deception, because although the later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, it was still the external Confucianism and the internal law, and that time was the moment when the general trend of Confucianism really came.

This sentence was like an initiation, which made Yuan Gusheng's eyes light up, as if he had found a guiding light.

Yuan Gusheng thought for a moment, got up solemnly and sorted out his clothes and tiara, and then bowed deeply: "Yuan Gusheng Xie Chao Langzhong's words." ”
