"As I said just now, heaven is created by the human heart, and heavenly principles are the morality recognized by the human heart. The Confucianism created by the Confucian sage back then was not for the sake of this deification of the heavens, but the Confucianism created by the Confucian sage for the needs of people. The idea of governing the country mentioned by Confucius is benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, and this is actually what human beings desire. Confucius did not curb the needs of people, but he advocated that the needs of people are the true principles of heaven. You can see it from the word 'Confucianism'. 'Confucianism', on the left is a person, and on the right is a need. Therefore, Confucianism is actually a study of human needs, so it can be seen that Confucianism is not to reject people's desires, but to integrate heavenly principles and human desires, not to be separated. ”

The Lai Ji immediately retorted: "Since ancient times, no one has not thought that this benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom are the principles of heaven, are so many people wrong? Don't you believe what the sages said? Don't you respect the sages? ”

This Laiji obviously underestimated Shi Bufan's ability to refute, where would Shi Bufan be afraid of this? He wants to use the so-called sages, but the most unafraid of the times is the sages and authority.

"Yasheng once told us that it is better to believe in books than to have no books, and this is what I have advocated before. Even a great philosopher in the West, called Aristotle, once had a famous saying, "I love my teacher, but I love the truth even more." Therefore, although the sages should be respected, they should not be absolutely convinced. One has to have one's own opinions, so it is not a sin to have one's own opinions, and Aristotle created a different school of learning from his teacher. Shi Bufan said.

However, Laiji immediately buckled his hat and said: "Hmph, those barbarians, disrespecting the teacher, the prince of heaven and earth, he actually betrayed the teacher like this, this is really intolerable!" ”

Shi Bufan just wanted to refute, but someone refuted it for him.

"Laiji, what you said is not right. If I'm not mistaken, Sage Confucius also studied with Lao Tzu and consulted back then. Isn't that Confucius founding Confucianism, but betraying his own teacher? If according to what you say, is Confucius intolerable to heaven? Ren Yaxiang asked.

Shi Bufan smiled at Ren Yaxiang, there are still talents in these four disciplines, and they all know how to debate like this. It is intolerable to attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son to attack those who are satisfied, but he ignores that Confucius also consulted with Lao Tzu back then, and that students and teachers create different schools of learning, which is also okay. So, it's not a strange thing, that's not a betrayal.

And at this time, Kong Yingda also asked: "Laiji, what do you mean by this?" ”

Laiji is bitter, he really can't argue anymore, and he can't criticize it? This forced Kong Yingda to Shi Bufan's side, because if he dared to continue to criticize Confucius, then Kong Yingda would definitely not help him. What does Kong Yingda rely on? In addition to relying on his own so-called knowledge, he also relies on the identity of Confucius's descendants, and if there were no Confucius's descendants, Kong Yingda would not have such an important position. If the identity of Confucius's descendants is stripped away, then Kong Yingda actually can't have such a strong appeal, at most he is just a scholar with good learning. Kong Yingda relies on Confucius to eat, of course he has to defend Confucius, this Laiji dares to say so, then of course he has to question clearly.

Naturally, Laiji could only turn the spearhead to Ren Yaxiang, and said angrily: "You are a poor disciple, why can you talk to me like this?" ”

"Joke, there must be my teacher in a threesome, why can't I say it?" Ren Yaxiang also refuted.

Of course, Laiji was immediately furious: "Such a fanatic, if you don't clean it up, you can't see it properly." Fellow scholars, clean them up with me! ”

Those classmates of the scholar clan immediately began to prepare to make a rough move, obviously to attack this Ren Yaxiang. However, Ren Yaxiang didn't seem to be a vegetarian, and directly began to prepare to call on the poor students to prepare to fight. In this way, what was supposed to be a debate turned out to be an all-out martial exercise.

Shi Bufan was also speechless, it was supposed to be a good debate, but it turned out to be a chicken feather. This academic matter is actually involved in the class struggle. He can see from the times that this scholar clan criticizes himself, not simply criticizing academics, but fearing that his mental thinking will be used by the cold family, and then as an academic thought that denies the sacredness of the scholar clan. However, the poor students obviously found that this Xinxue could be used as an academic concept to deny the Mandate of Heaven of the scholars, so they also hoped that the idea of Xinxue would be promoted.

What was nominally an academic struggle has gradually evolved into a class struggle. This class struggle is more of a political struggle, so the academic component of it is no longer important. The scholars maintain traditional academics, but the children of the poor family are unanimously willing to support Shi Bufan, not only because Shi Bufan is from a poor family, but also because the scholarship he advocates is conducive to the development of the poor family. If this psychology can be promoted, then the so-called destiny of the scholars and the so-called sacrosanctity will be pulled down from the altar. Since the "heavens" they rely on have been pulled down, what are their destiny these days?

Naturally, people from poor families don't believe in any destiny, or the real call in their hearts. Sometimes, human beings can only see what they want to see, that is, what is good for them, and they will ignore the things that are not good for them, consciously or unconsciously. Therefore, many students from poor families heard Shi Bufan's psychology, and they soon thought that this psychology was beneficial to them, and they thought that it could be used as a theoretical basis for their rise from the poor, so they naturally had to support it desperately.

Of course, these scholars had to oppose it, so when they debated that they were not out of fashion, they also planned to force Hanmen to submit through violence, which is why they have the current Quan Wuxing.

The two groups of students fought like this, and then they began to commotion. But in the end, someone came out to stop it.

"You and the others are all literati, what kind of system is it to fight here!" Kong Yingda said angrily.

The guards next to him rushed over to separate the crowd and prevent them from starting to fight each other. However, the scholars and the poor students are also mostly cross-eyed, and obviously neither of them wants to give in to the other.

"When the times are extraordinary, then what you say is what people need. So how do you prove that this benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom are needed by man, not by heaven? Laiji asked.

Shi Bufan asked rhetorically: "Don't you want this world to be full of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom?" Do you think that this world is miserable for being unkind, unjust, rude, and unwise? How do humans survive in this world? ”

"This ......" came to Ji had nothing to say, but he still retorted: "That doesn't prove that this is the thought of the human heart, but maybe the saint understands the heavenly principle?" ”

"I remember that the saint traveled around the world, and during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zhou Tianzi declined, and the princes attacked each other. The king is not a king, the minister is not a minister, the father is not the father and the son. Therefore, what the sage said about kings, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons is to hope to reshape the morality of the past. And the chaos in the world has distorted all human morality, how tragic is this? I think that now that my Datang has just been established, it has not been long since the world has just been peaceful. You should know the truth that it is better to be a peaceful dog than to be a chaotic person. Our former Sui Dynasty was only in turmoil for decades, but at that time, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the world was in turmoil for more than 500 years! After more than 500 years of turmoil, can there be benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom in this troubled era? ”

"Only when you lose it, will you truly appreciate the preciousness! Confucius traveled all over the world, and I don't think he received the so-called Heavenly Principles from the heavens. He saw that hundreds of people hoped to need benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom in troubled times, and needed the king to have a benevolent heart and implement benevolent government. People should be righteous with each other, so as to maintain everyone's friendship. As for etiquette, it is the foundation of maintaining everyone's order, and with enough etiquette, it can avoid war to the greatest extent and protect everyone's life. As for the final wisdom, who doesn't want to be a smart person, and who doesn't want to be able to read books to increase their wisdom? It is precisely because of that time when the world is in turmoil that this is what everyone needs, and this is what the saints advocated. Because these are what all the people in the world need, they created this Confucian school of 'what people need'. Therefore, this benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom are the needs of human beings, not the true principles of heaven. ”

Laiji retorted again: "Couldn't it be that God knows what people need, and that's why ...... Oh! ”

Laiji suddenly found that his words were very stupid, and he actually admitted that God knew what people needed, and then he formulated the principles of heaven. If that's the case, isn't that an acknowledgment that Heavenly Principle is made up of things that are needed by the human heart? So he quickly shut his mouth.

However, some people will not let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs, Ren Yaxiang hurriedly said: "Come to Ji, you yourself have admitted that this heavenly principle is constituted by human needs. That benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom are the principles of heaven, and the principles of heaven are also constituted according to the needs of people. Aren't you acknowledging Shi Xiaoshulang's mental learning? ”

Ren Yaxiang once again bowed his hand to Shi Bufan and said: "Shi Xiaoshulang's words make me really feel empowered. Although I am a few years older than Shi Xiao Shulang, I think Shi Xiao Shu Lang is enough to be my mentor. What Shi Xiaoshulang said actually spoke to my heart. Heaven exists in the hearts of people all over the world, and heavenly principles are what people need. Even the sages were able to establish Confucianism precisely because they realized the needs of human beings. However, later generations were not good enough to be able to understand the words of the sage, so he came up with one by one heavenly principles that were divorced from reality. ”

Shi Bufan also hurriedly added, saying: "The so-called heavenly principles are the needs of people's hearts, and they are also the conscience of people's hearts. The reason why people become human beings is because they are civilized, wise, and know how to have a conscience. The reason why other beasts are beasts is because they do not know wisdom and cannot have a conscience. Although everyone's heart is different, and everyone's conscience is different, but as the same person, they always have something in common. The benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, filial piety, loyalty, courtesy, righteousness, and honesty that human beings yearn for are what people yearn for together. It is precisely because these things are all common to all people that this is the morality that everyone agrees on, and this public morality has naturally become the principle of heaven. This is also the origin of the Heavenly Principle, so the Heavenly Principle exists in everyone's heart. And the Heavenly Principle is naturally something that everyone looks forward to in their hearts, and this is also the Heavenly Principle. Even back then, didn't Dong Zhongshu use Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to rebel as a warning that the king must change? ”

"Although Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are anti-thieves, we can't deny that they are all human beings. They chose to rebel, because they were oppressed and oppressed by the tyrannical Qin, and the tyrannical Qin had completely lost benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom, so they had to rebel. And the reason why this tyrannical Qin was overthrown was because they violated the principles of heaven, and this heavenly principles also violated the universally recognized morality, which was the reason why the tyrannical Qin was destroyed. It can be seen from this that the induction of heaven and man is actually a reaction by man, not a thunderbolt. ”

Shi Bufan once again pulled this so-called Tianli off the altar, and even pulled this "heaven" off the altar. Since Shi Bufan plans to create another heaven, this "heaven" does not actually exist, and there is naturally no heavenly principle in this world. The nature of heavenly principles is actually the human heart, and all people are the morality that they look forward to, that is, the formation of heavenly principles.

Heavenly principles are not something that a small number of people can grasp, and it is not something that only a few people are qualified to explain. All heavenly principles must meet the needs of the people and the needs of all the people in the world. Otherwise, some people do things that harm sentient beings under the banner of upholding the principles of heaven, is this the principle of heaven? Under the guise of Heavenly Principles, and then pretentiously thinking that only they can explain the so-called Heavenly Principles, so of course they are right in whatever they say. This kind of practice of being both an athlete and a referee can't let him go on like this.

Shi Bufan is currently "usurping the heavens" and putting the status of human beings above the heavens, so no one can hold the right to interpret this so-called heavenly principle alone. And once human beings are placed in the heavens, then everyone is qualified to express their own opinions, and everyone is qualified to say their own understanding of the "Heavenly Principles", and then they can get the power to popularize their own doctrines. Of course, this is not completely and absolutely promotable, but also to be recognized by everyone. If this doctrine is in line with the interests of all the people and is the theory of "human needs" of all the people, then it is also the recognized "Heavenly Principle".

And once a doctrine does not meet the needs of the people and the needs of the people's hearts, it is not in line with the "principles of heaven" and will be eliminated. In this way, even if you are not ordinary at the time, you can build an academic theory that can evolve itself, strive to make anyone in the world eligible to participate in this academic debate, and then launch your own theoretical knowledge to win everyone's support.

Unlike now, only a small number of scholars have the right to interpret various academics, they have the so-called right to interpret, and then in order to protect their own interests, they do not hesitate to tamper with and distort the knowledge of the ancients, so that their theories become heavenly principles, and then in the name of heavenly principles, they mutilate sentient beings.

Shi Bufan thought that once he helped the whole world to "usurp the sky" and pull the status of heaven down the altar, no one would be able to put heaven above man. With such a thorough people-oriented, talent is the highest in the world. When the time comes, this will allow for the establishment of a way for the doctrine to evolve itself. Because he is based on "man", not "heaven". People are fickle, and people think differently in different eras and under different productive forces. Therefore, if people's hearts change a little, then this doctrine can continue to be promoted and progressed.

No one can discount the so-called principles of heaven to attack others, because yours is the principles of heaven, and mine is also the principles of heaven, so everyone will debate to see who can say whom, who can better meet the interests of the people and the needs of the times. If the debate fails, it will be a withdrawal from the stage of history.
