Chapter 155: Confucianism
"This brother, this idea of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness really makes people feel like they are suddenly opened, but I have some questions, I don't know if I can ask for advice."
Liu Yuetian said politely.
"Of course you can, just ask any questions, I know everything."
"Okay, Brother Tai said that people should be loyal, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, that's good, especially this loyalty is the most important, I don't know if it?"
Liu Yuetian asked.
"Naturally, the king is the sky, and if there is no king, the world will be in chaos, so whether it is parents or friends, you must be loyal to the king."
The other party replied.
"Okay, then let me ask you, if the king is mediocre, just like the current king of Zhou trusts Liang Ji and Zhang Rang and makes the people of the world suffer, do you say you still have to be loyal to him?"
"This .........!"
The other party was stunned for a moment, but thought for a moment and said: "The king is the Son of Heaven, that is the scarf of God, and now the King of Zhou has disobeyed God, he is no longer the Son of Heaven, and he is no longer qualified to be the king, so people will naturally not be loyal to him." ”
This person reacted shrewdly, and thought of a way to deprive King Zhou of his authority.
"Well said, then what do you mean is that if there is chaos today, it is because King Zhou is no longer the king, and the people of the world are no longer loyal to him?"
Liu Yuetian asked rhetorically.
"That's right, that's exactly what I meant."
The other party replied.
"Who is the king in the world?"
Liu Yuetian asked.
"The people of the land of Great Wu live and work in peace and contentment, so King Wu is the king!"
The other party replied.
"The same is true of the people in the land of Dashu in the Tang Dynasty, why aren't they kings?"
"This ............!"
The other party was speechless.
"The people of the Great Qing Dynasty, the Great Qin Dynasty and the Tibetan Prefecture also support their kings, according to you, they are also kings, that is to say, now the princes of the seven directions are all kings, and the people under them are loyal, why is the world so chaotic? Why is that? ”
"......... me?"
The other party was overwhelmed by Liu Yuetian's series of questions, and his face turned red.
"Zhong, let's put it aside first, let's talk about filial piety, you said that your parents' orders must be obeyed even if they are wrong, then let me ask you, if your father asks you to die, will you die?"
"I ...... Fathers wouldn't do that! ”
The other shouted.
"Well, what if your father told you to assassinate the king?"
Liu Yuetian asked again.
"The most loyal, naturally can't do this?"
The other party replied.
"Then how can you be the crown prince, your father is the king, the king is dying, he wants your brother to inherit the throne, he doesn't want you to succeed to the throne, but he orders you to commit suicide, what will you do? Is it to lose the throne that is within reach? Or do you obey the orders of your father, who is about to die? Say, tell the truth! ”
Liu Yuetian looked at the other party's face, and unconsciously used the shock special effect, and his words pierced the other party's heart, making the other party really think that he was the virtual prince at this moment.
"This ......... This......... I......... I am the king.........! ”
In an instant, the other party's thinking was extremely confused, and he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and involuntarily told the truth.
"Lord!"
The two servants in the back rushed to the front in fright.
"You don't have to worry, he'll be back in a moment."
He has long seen that the so-called loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness of the other party are completely from the perspective of the ruler, they want their subjects to do so, and put loyalty in the first place, that is, for their own rights, as long as the subjects are loyal, they will have eternal imperial power, and the monarch and ministers will never die, even if they are mediocre and incompetent, and even the tyrannical subjects must be loyal.
But these can't be used in the ruler, the crown prince is quite a king, wishing that his father died early, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the more than 700 years of the Great Zhou, but often happens, because the temptation of power is too great, far more than the so-called loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.
To put it bluntly, the loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness in the other party's mouth are just shackles around the necks of the people, and they have no meaning for the ruling class.
"You're .........!"
After a long time, the other party stood up, and his pale face gradually recovered.
"This benevolent brother, my loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness have been refuted in front of you, it seems that you are a real Confucianist, I really dare not compare with you in this skill, I think your knowledge can be compared with Mr. Dong."
"Mr. Dong?"
Liu Yuetian had never heard anything of Mr. Dong.
"Hehe, this Mr. Dong's name is Zhongshu, he is only in his thirties, Mr. has just been born, so he is not visible in the world, but Mr. is monstrous in learning, I don't know how much stronger than that Su Qin Zhang Yi, he will definitely shock the world one day, and now he is in my land of Great Wu, why don't I introduce him to Brother Ren?" By the way, in Xia Sun Deng, he is now the son of King Wu, I don't know what the name of Brother Ren is? ”
"Sun Deng!"
The identity of the other party also surfaces in the system.
"It turned out to be the eldest son of King Wu, and he himself is a figure in the ruling class, no wonder!"
Liu Yuetian was relieved.
However, the system's evaluation of him is also good, although his ability is average, not at the level of historical celebrities, but he is studious, noble in character, not those idle gentlemen, if the other party inherits the throne of Wu, he can become a generation of kings, but in this troubled world, he can only wait to be obediently "slaughtered".
As for Dong Zhongshu mentioned by the other party, Liu Yuetian did not see him, and there was no movement in the system, but it can be guessed that this person should be a Confucian master.
However, Liu Yuetian couldn't figure it out, this Confucius should not exist in this world, that is to say, the history of Confucius is not the same world as this era, and his own world is different from these two worlds, that is, these are three parallel worlds.
The technology of Liu Yuetian's previous life has theoretically proved the possibility of parallel worlds, but it is only a possibility, and now it seems that this is true, but even if it is a parallel world, it stands to reason that it should be a completely unrelated world, and even the physical rules are different.
In fact, Liu Yuetian found that there is a great connection between these three worlds, such as his previous life, even though the history is different, but the language and words he speaks are very close to this Great Zhou, but there are some differences in details.
Liu Yuetian guessed that there must be some kind of connection between his previous life and this world, of course, he has not yet found what this connection is, but it should have something to do with the system he brings, as long as he continues to understand the system, he believes that he will figure it out one day.
Although his doctrine of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness still has great limitations, even Confucius, a sage, can't jump out of the confines of the times, what can he do? So Liu Yuetian still decided to make friends with this person.
"Brother Sun, I can tell you my name, but if you sincerely make me a friend, I hope you don't tell others."
Since the other party told him his name, and he was determined to intersect with the other party, then Liu Yuetian would be honest with each other, but this is Dawu, the territory of King Wu, once he attacks himself, the newly rising county king, unless he has the skills of Bodhidharma Patriarch, he can only be restrained.
"Oh? Why......? ”
However, Sun Deng reacted instantly.
"Don't worry, I make you a friend because of my admiration for your knowledge, although I am not as good as you, I consider myself a benevolent person, and I will never sit on that thing to betray my friend."
"Okay, my name is Liu Yuetian, and I am the county king of Tianshui in the Great Zhou Dynasty today."
Liu Yuetian told the other party directly.
