Chapter 265: If there are too many things, I will pick them
"The old master is so angry now, it's really unnecessary, and Jin is just telling a fact!"
Chen Jincai turned a blind eye to Zhao Ji's questioning gaze, as an emperor, he would not weigh the situation, so he would no longer be qualified to be in this position, lest he die ugly in the future. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The way of the emperor lies in the Taoist theory of yin and yang, and it is also the art of balance, which lies in the establishment of civil and military officials above the court.
Mutual supervision and mutual checks and balances, if there is less party, the power is great, and if the power is large, it is difficult to control, and if it is difficult to control, the royal family is in danger, and the royal family is in danger, and the country is ruined!
However, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the civil officials have been very difficult to control, and the military generals have rarely competed with them.
Such a yin and yang decline caused civil officials to regard the authority of the state as something in their pockets, and they were reluctant to be with others.
For the sake of the interests of the family, scholars and doctors are friends with each other, ignoring the rise and fall of the country.
Just because even if it is a change of dynasty, as long as the family is undefeated, the new dynasty will have to use them!
The premise is that this piece of meat can't be shared by too many people!
So they set their sights on the teachings of the sages, such as ......"
"The people can make it impossible to know it."
Chen Jincai said with a smile: "This sentence came out of the Analect Taibo chapter, and because of the problem of breaking the sentence, it was interpreted after seven or eight hundred years that if the people can be envoys, he will go, and the people should not be wise!" ”
It means that the people can use it, and they should not be allowed to receive wisdom.
And because of this sentence, your holy ancestor Kong Zhongni was spurned by the people of the world in that era!
Confucianism was almost cut off at that time, and then it declined.
It's not what your predecessors did, but let future generations find the reason why you and other scholars misled the people of the world in the intensive reading of history books, so that there is this conclusion! ”
This sentence hit the hearts of all the scholars present, and Confucianism was almost broken after a few hundred years? Micro?
This...... Impossible!
Everyone looked at Chen Jincai stupidly,
"Nonsense, the people can make it impossible to know this statement, it is not such a solution, this is a great fallacy!"
The old master shouted angrily: "This means that since ancient times, there have been very few scholars, and even more so those who are reasonable.
However, the way of the world, the world usually takes one step to see one step, but the saint usually takes one step to see five steps and ten steps away because of reason.
There are many ignorant people in the world, how can the meaning of the saint be separated from it, if you want to explain it, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort!
Yes, for the sake of the Superior to make the people, so that they can do it, and there is no need for them to know what the truth is!
This is the original meaning of the sage's words, how can future generations misunderstand our scholars! ”
In fact, it is true, as modern people say, the truth is only in the hands of a few.
This is true, it's like curing a disease, you go to the hospital, the doctor will tell you what disease you have, then what medicine to take, what kind of exercises to adjudicate to therapies.
It will not tell you why you came to this conclusion, how the diseased atoms multiplied and parasitized to make you get this disease, why you used this medicine, what is the effect of using this medicine, and why you used this amount.
Then it will also tell you which case has the same symptoms as you, what medicine the other person is using, what is the difference compared to your case, and what changes in the treatment plan have been caused by this difference.
None of this will tell you, what the doctor tells you is to take medicine well, nothing serious, relax and cooperate with the treatment.
Because I told you, you don't understand, and you will guess blindly, and finally have your own wrong understanding.
If it's so easy to be a doctor, you still need to study for a few years, and then practice with a doctor for a few years to officially get a professional title?
It's like a soldier, the military order from above has come down, and he wants to defend a certain city, and the soldier says no.
You haven't told me why you want to defend this city, what are the benefits of defending this city, what is the significance of defending this city, what is the significance of strategic battles, what is the benefit of yourself, if you don't say it, I won't go!
Is that okay?
That's not something you know, you want to understand, you can, but it takes a lot of time to learn to understand why the people at the top are giving instructions the way they do.
Instead of the decision-making level, every time you send an instruction, you have to explain what the whole meaning of the command is and why it is being issued.
It's all redundant.
The sage's will can be listened to by the people, and there is no need to explain it before ordering it to act.
This is the willingness to say this, but it is not eight or nine hundred years later, when Confucius was criticized, he explained this statement.
However, Chen Jincai's purpose in coming up with this sentence is not to debate the correct interpretation of this statement, but to make an extension of his next words.
He said: "It doesn't matter what the correct interpretation is or what the original intention is, what matters is nothing more than words and deeds.
Master dares to ask himself, you just stood up to question Chen, not out of the defense of the scholar class, but out of the public heart of the country and the people? ”
The old master was speechless, he didn't go out to be an official, he just didn't practice his face to his home, so when he questioned Chen Jincai, he only had a blue face and didn't say a word.
Chen Jincai continued: "The master just used to question Chen, even after defeating the Great Song Dynasty, he can't control it, this is the means by which you scholars control a country!"
To fight the world, military generals are needed to defend the world, but to govern the world, there is a shortage of civil officials!
So you are in control of the promotion, fame, and knowledge of the scholars, and as soon as these means come out, you will be the emperor, and you will be afraid of three points!
The holy master Kong Zhongni, there is no class, more than 3,000 disciples, seventy-two disciples and ten sages asked under the door, there are farmers and industrialists, in order to educate the people, and the people of the world with wisdom.
Kong Zhongni worshiped under Lao Tzu to learn rituals, Lao Tzu once said, inexpensive and rare goods, so that the people are not thieves!
And Kong Zhongni also respected his teacher's words all his life, it is not a rare goods, and this rare goods is wisdom.
There is no class in education, the way is Confucianism, and everyone has wisdom is not a rare commodity.
You are now scholars and doctors, relying on being indispensable scholars for governing the country, and you are all over the court for your own selfishness.
If all the people in the world are scholars, what is your honor?
Perhaps it is when you understand these truths that you will interpret the words of the sages: The people can make it from it, but they cannot make it known. Distort into the words and deeds of the present.
Things are precious, so are scholars, and so are scholars, so the emperor does not dare to change them at will! ”
Chen Jin said this, where would Zhao Ji not understand what he meant.
What he means is that in fact, it is not difficult to find a scholar who is an official for his own family, as long as the world is a scholar.
If there are many things, you have to choose!
In fact, he has recognized that the interests of the emperor are the interests of the people, and Chen Jincai's words have been made very clear just now, but the interests of the ministers are not necessarily the interests of the country.
"Is that really the case?"
