Chapter 298: Guozi's Defense (5)

When Lu Chengqi heard this, his heart blossomed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info was still worried about Zhang Zai, one was the world's famous toilet stone, smelly and hard Yushi Zhongcheng; One is the official history of the prince Anshi. Which one of them is a person with a peerless education, and if he opens his mouth, how can he argue with the two masters?

But the progress of things is a big surprise. Wang Anshi didn't say anything about the rebellion, but also returned Li Ran's army, which made this stubborn old man suffer a dumb loss, and he couldn't tell if he had any hardships, which was really happy.

It's no wonder that Lu Chengqi thinks so, this Li Ran is really good at finding things. In three days, the two heads were either impeached for this or for that, which really seriously affected the normal operation of the imperial court. Lu Chengqi wanted to talk to Li Ran very much, but he didn't say a word a few times, and he was so angry with this stubborn old man that he forgot to say anything. After a long time, it will be left to the task.

Things in the world are truly wonderful, one thing descends another. Lu Chengqi was treated by this Li Ran to death, but Li Ran was half angry by the two white bodies. This made Lu Chengqi feel secretly refreshed in his heart: "Call you an old stubborn, always work against me, and I'm angry with you!" ”

In fact, Lu Chengqi also knows that Li Ran is not a bad person. It's just that the sense of justice or something, it's a little too strong. In other words, he is a little nervous, and when he sees any problem that he is not used to, he has to take care of it. If this person is placed in the next generation, he is really a living Lei Feng. But in front of Lu Chengqi, it was a disaster.

"The Great Dai Li Ji Zizhang Asks to Enter the Official Chapter" has a cloud: When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no disciples. Li Ran was so harsh on others that he didn't have any friends to speak of in the court. However, if you say who is the most trusted official in Lu Chengqi's heart, the first is Li Jie, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the second is Li Ran, the middle of the imperial history.

Although Li Jie is from Xu Chongguang's faction, he is honest and down-to-earth, and Lu Chengqi is a hundred reassuring to give him the task. As for Li Ran, he doesn't even have a friend, and if the matter is handed over to him, will he still feel at ease?

Lu Chengqi, who raised his sleeves and covered his mouth and snickered, almost couldn't help laughing. After looking at Li Ran's stunned face for a long time, he straightened his face and said solemnly: "The three of them are very reasonable, but I don't have a deep study of Confucianism, so I can't judge. However, in my opinion, the matter will never be conclusive. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Ran, Wang Zifu, Zhang Zai, Wang Anshi, including the prisoners of Guozijian, all looked forward to Lu Chengqi saying a reason.

Whetting everyone's appetite, Lu Chengqi said slowly: "There are only a few Confucian classics, but everyone has their own understanding, how can everyone have the same opinion?" Whether it is Zhang Zihou's Guan Xue, Wang Jiefu's statement, or Li Qing's opinion, it is just to fight for another orthodox position. I can say that there is no orthodoxy in Confucianism. Everyone has Confucianism in everyone's heart, and barely distinguishing between high and low is just self-deception. In the end, if you don't obey me, I won't obey you. My opinion is that if you can all write a book and write a biography, it will be a great merit. Nowadays, printing is so convenient, books are not a problem. It's just that the price of books is cheap, and the workshop manager suffers. ”

Lu Chengqi's words deeply explained what it means to decide the head with an ass, and the three sentences do not leave the bank. Even the book is written, and it can be associated with movable type printing, and there is no one with such a big brain.

After Li Ran heard this, he was even more dumbfounded. He has always been able to speak well, but he doesn't know how to refute it. Besides, he is just a royal envoy, not a doctor, and this is not a political matter, refute the emperor, how many heads do you have enough to cut off? If you have a tendon in your brain, you won't do such a mess!

Fortunately, Prince Fu, who had listened to it for a long time, helped Li Ran relieve the siege: "Your Majesty Shengming! Confucius said that gentlemen are harmonious but different, and villains are the same but not harmonious. Your views are very different, but they are all the same. What he did was just for the sake of Dashun Wenjiao. According to the old man's opinion, if everyone can really be a sage, then Confucius's words are nothing more than that. ”

is worthy of being Li Ran's good helper, only the embarrassed traitor, oh no, it is the prince Fu of the same way, can say these words to defend Li Ran.

Lu Chengqi knew Wang Zifu, and he was so good with Li Ran that he was about to wear a pair of pants, how could he not speak for him? As soon as Wang Zifu's words fell, he spoke: "What Wang Qing said is also reasonable. Mencius said that human nature is inherently good; Xun Zi said that human nature is evil. In my opinion, a baby who has fallen to the ground, where is the right and wrong? It's just instinct. If his parents were evil and evil, then when he grew up, he will be evil. If his parents were kind people, then he was a good person. The way of education is nothing more than teaching without class. Both good and evil can be educated. The wicked are the wicked if they are not civilized. If you can teach them earnestly and persuade them to do good, they may be able to change their views in the future. However, in my opinion, it is far from enough. At this time, it was not ancient, and the folk customs were simple. If it is to maintain the law, the law is still needed. Han Feizi said that I also dabbled in it. Although the punishment is extremely severe, it has its merits. The law is the bottom line of morality, and if a person crosses the line, he must be punished. ”

Lu Chengqi's words were even more groundbreaking. In such a "sacred" Confucian school as Guozijian, spreading Han Feizi's doctrine, if he hadn't been today, he would have been beaten out with a stick.

When Wang Zifu and the others heard this, they were so shocked that they didn't come back to their senses for a long time. Lu Chengqi said with great interest: "It is not enough to rely on personal self-cultivation. Those who have the ability to write, and those who read through Confucianism, will do more harm if they are evil. Without the law, the consequences would be unimaginable. The corrupt officials who searched out tens of millions of family fortunes from their families before, which one was not full of wealth? After thinking about it, I felt that I had to start with the law. I read the "Great Shun Law" again, pondered it carefully, and found that there were many things that were very inappropriate. Of course, these words should be said to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Dali Siqing, and I am here to tell those here that Confucianism lies in personal practice, which can restrain oneself, but cannot restrain others, which is not enough. You and others are all Confucian masters, and I am far behind. But I know that if I only read through Confucianism, I will not be able to govern the country in peace. To govern a country, not only Confucianism is needed, but also Legalism, soldiers, and even Moism, Duanmu relics, and so on. The strength of Confucianism lies in stability, and the strength of the rest of the hundred schools of thought is that it can move society forward. It is said in the Tao Te Ching that the law of heaven is the way of the Tao, and the law of the Tao is natural. As long as you follow the way of nature, even if you are a craftsman and a doctor, why are you not a sage? ”

Lu Chengqi's words are actually suspected of forcing explanations. But logically speaking, it works. After hearing this, everyone present fell silent and began to reflect quietly. (To be continued.) )
