Chapter 231: No Good, No Evil, No Right and No Wrong

According to some simple psychology that Shi Bufan has learned, he knows that many people actually have two sides. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info This is not the so-called schizophrenia, there are no absolutely bad people and absolutely good people in this world. Everyone has his kind side, and he also has his ruthless side. Perhaps a wicked person will do something good when necessary.

Even Confucianism has not completely denied the entanglement of good and evil in a person, and there is a saying in Confucianism called Guanguo Zhiren. Observing Zhiren means looking at the nature of the mistakes made by a person, and we can know where his bottom line is in being a human being. There have even been some TV broadcasts that once said that a thief, maybe he steals things on weekdays, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he is an absolute bad person. But when other people's lives were in danger, he risked his own life to save others, but at this moment, none of the so-called "good people" lent a helping hand. So there is no absolute right or wrong in this world, and even people themselves are complex.

Li Shimin, perhaps as a politician, had to carry out the Xuanwumen coup, and he chose this path. But at the same time, he was also bound by traditional thinking, believing that his behavior was an act that did not conform to traditional thinking, and it was an unfilial behavior. Therefore, as a natural flesh-and-blood person, and as a politician's thinking, there is a separation. That's why he thinks so complicatedly whether he is wrong or not, of course, Li Shimin actually knows a lot if he asks others casually, almost anyone will say that he is right and Li Jiancheng deserves it. But this is not the answer Li Shimin himself wants, he wants an answer that really evaluates him from a fair point of view. This may be the reason why a king is really lonely, no one dares to tell the truth before him, no one dares to speak the truth before him, dare to speak from the heart.

Shi Bufan guessed that the reason why Li Shimin was able to endure him was, on the one hand, that Li Shimin relied on his ability to manage money. But on the other hand, only Shi Bufan dares to say anything, and even dares to say that after a thousand years, Datang still dares to say such things, so Li Shimin dares to tell the truth for Shi Bufan. For a monarch who is invincible, this is not necessarily a kind of inner desire. Therefore, Li Shimin may be on the other hand, the reason why he dares to say anything when he can tolerate it, and dares to say anything excessive. Because he himself is really very lonely in his heart, and the loneliness of the king lies in the fact that no one dares to tell the truth in front of him, and they all deceive him. But though the king knew that he was deceiving him, he could not point it out. Shi Bufan didn't do this, he said whatever he thought of directly, and even dared to say that it was unknown whether the Tang Dynasty would exist after a thousand years, although such words were ugly, but to a certain extent, they satisfied the little bit of stinging in the heart of Li Shimin, a lonely king.

Maybe for an ordinary person, having painful feelings, that's very unbearable. However, if for a person who is paralyzed and unconscious, he may really prefer to be in pain, because the pain represents his life, and perhaps the "pain" that people avoid is exactly what a person who is paralyzed and unconscious craves it. People with different identities and different circumstances have different ideas, so for Li Shimin, a person who has been "paralyzed" all day long, what he longs for is a person who dares to say anything in front of him, a person who dares to tell the truth and really has no special political factors. Even Wei Zheng's "exhortation" has a lot of political factors behind it, so this is not simple. Only the words of the extraordinary times are the real and simple "truth", and even dare to say anything. Therefore, for Li Shimin, a king who feels mentally paralyzed and unconscious, it may not be a kind of "enjoyment".

"Your Majesty, in fact, you asked me if what I did was right or wrong. Actually, you don't need to ask me, only you can answer this question. No one in this world can really answer you, because everyone's good and evil are different. In fact, there is no good and evil right and wrong in this world, only people's worldview, outlook on life, and values, which is the reason for the so-called 'right and wrong, good and evil'. In my eyes, there is no such thing as good and evil, right and wrong in this world. Shi Bufan said.

Li Shimin asked: "If there is no good and evil right and wrong in this world, isn't it chaotic?" ”

"Really? Your Majesty, if I ask you, if there is a king who extorts money and kills innocents, and finally the people rebel and overthrow him, do you think the people are wrong? Shi Bufan asked.

Li Shimin said with certainty: "The king expropriates and kills innocents indiscriminately, you can advise!" Even taking a step back, he can be forced to meditate on other royal families, but he should not directly rebel and overthrow, this is simply unreasonable! ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty, you are now the lord of a country, and of course you put yourself in the identity of that king, so you think that it is wrong for the people to rebel. But if you, as the people, want to take your things, if someone wants to kill you, do you want to resist? Do you want to protect your life and property? Your Majesty, you might as well try to substitute yourself for that ordinary person now, what do you think? I'm afraid, don't you think that you are wrong to rebel? Shi Bufan asked.

Li Shimin was silent, if it is called from another point of view, then in fact, the people are not wrong. But now that Li Shimin is the king, it is naturally difficult to say that the people's rebellion is justified, so he has to remain silent.

"Your Majesty, do you know? In fact, this so-called right and wrong of good and evil does not depend on whether you are really right or wrong, but on your relative. From the king's point of view, you naturally think that the people are bad and wrong. But if you put yourself in the shoes of the people, this may not be the case. There is no right or wrong in this world, let alone good or evil, it just depends on the difference in your outlook on life, worldview, and values. ”

"Maybe in the eyes of a thug who kills without blinking, the judge sentences him to death, and he will think that the judge and the executioner are bad people. And the same murder, the executioner and the judge execute the criminal, that is right in the eyes of the people, it is right. But in the eyes of that death row inmate, the judge and the executioner were wrong, bad people. Maybe what ordinary people think is right and wrong is just the values of their general public, but values are always values, and right and wrong, good and evil are just a manifestation of values. Even, the so-called benevolence, righteousness, morality, loyalty and filial piety are just a kind of values. And filial piety is a value of us human beings. But if it's an animal, it's an animal, they don't think they're not supporting their parents, they're not filial, even if they're old. Therefore, ordinary people use animals to scold those who are not filial, but in fact, it is to replace animal values with human values, which is just mediocrity and self-disturbance. ”

"Not to mention humans and animals, even as a king, and as an ordinary person, your values are different. If you measure it by the values of the people, you are wrong. Maybe others accuse you of being unfilial, but they are using their own values to measure your values as a king. But from another point of view, if you lose and Prince Jiancheng wins, what kind of result will you have? When the time comes, perhaps others will also scold Prince Cheng for being unfilial. The price of your failure is to be imprisoned for life, and you will not be free for life. I think ordinary people will not be willing to accept such a price. If they know that there will be a price to pay for their failure, they will change places, and if they are here in your capacity, they will not hesitate to do it to you. Those of them who scold you are actually just standing and talking without backache. ”

"So there is no such thing as good and evil, right and wrong in this world, aren't you doing this to disturb yourself?"

Li Shimin sat down and thought seriously and quietly for a while, and then said: "Maybe what you said is right, there is no good and evil right and wrong in this world, and the so-called good and evil right and wrong do not exist. There are only relatives, no absolutes. If I am just an ordinary person, then I am truly unfilial to do so. But if I am a king, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. Even if they change places, most of them will have to work hard for themselves and their families for the rest of their lives, so it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. ”

"That's right, there is really only one thing that is really right and wrong, and that is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The words of Sage Confucius are also the root of the so-called right and wrong of all things in the world. Don't impose on others what you don't want to do, this is the most basic. Because everyone doesn't want to be deprived of their lives casually, everyone will think that those criminals who kill people without blinking an eye will think that he deserves to die, and this kind of person should not exist in this world. And because people in the world don't want to rob, defraud, etc., there is a so-called law prohibiting robbery, fraud, etc. It is precisely because of the things that everyone does not want that there is a view of right and wrong, and there is morality. Otherwise, there is no right or wrong in this world. Only the things that everyone does not want are formed into the so-called right and wrong, good and evil. ”

"It's because there are things that people don't like, so there are things that everyone likes. And with what everyone likes, then there are good people that everyone thinks, and there are so-called saints. In this regard, I agree with a famous saying of Zhuangzi, that the saint does not die, but the thief does not stop. If there are no bad people, there will be no good people. If there were no thieves, there would be no saints. Right and wrong, good and evil, are just artificial comparisons, and they don't really matter. If there is no comparison, then there is naturally no good and evil right and wrong in this world. If you insist on creating a saint, then in the end, you will actually create more thieves. ”

"Actually, the psychology I advocate, in fact, what I said about everyone can become Yao Shun, in fact, it is still that everyone cannot become a saint. If everyone has become a so-called saint, then there are no saints in this world at all. Because there is no gap, there is naturally no saint. Maybe an ordinary thief, in contrast to those murderous madmen, that is also a 'saint'. If one day everyone can become a 'saint', then in the end there will still be no saint. The saints are actually contrasted, not made. If there is no comparison, there will naturally be no saints and thieves, and there will be no good people and bad people. In fact, as long as everyone acts according to their own inner conscience, they are actually an ordinary person in the end. ”

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be too entangled in the so-called merits and demerits, as long as you are worthy of your heart and your conscience. If you are desperate for survival and for your family, there is nothing wrong with the night city. If you insist on measuring you by the values of ordinary people, then you are just asking for trouble. People with different identities have different thinking, and your Majesty, you expect to measure yourself by other people's thinking, which is actually just meaningless. ”

"Everyone is an independent person, everyone has their own background and growth experience, naturally it is impossible to completely replace yourself with other people's thinking, then in the end you will find yourself as if you are worthless."

However, Li Shimin was still worried and said: "However, in the future, how will Danshu Qingshi evaluate me?" History is like a knife! ”

"Hahahaha, Your Majesty, you're in love! History is like a knife, this is just wishful thinking. Your Majesty, in fact, I can be sure that we are here today, whether it is me, you, or anyone, even the Confucian sage Confucius, in fact, we will not leave any good reputation. Neither me, nor anyone, will leave a good name. We are all people who are going to be scolded by future generations, so why bother to leave a good name instead of this? Since it is destined to leave a bad name, why do I have to think so hard about leaving a name in history and lasting forever? Shi Bufan said.

Li Shimin asked in surprise: "Why?" Why don't we all leave a good name, and will anyone dare to insult Sage Kong? ”

Li Shimin felt incredible, and he actually thought that future generations would insult Sage Kong, which was simply incredible. Even Shi Bufan said that himself, as well as Li Shimin and anyone else, would not leave any good reputation, which is really strange. The ancients all took the eternal fortune as their ideal, but Shi Bufan can be sure that he will not have a good reputation, and he will not have a good reputation, why is this?

Some people even dared to scold Confucius, which made Li Shimin even more strange. Confucius is a Confucian sage, so it is even more incredible that someone dares to scold him like this.

"Your Majesty, ancestors, in fact, there is no other use, that is, it is used to scold. Therefore, as the ancestors of our descendants, our only use is actually to be scolded! Shi Bufan laughed at himself. (To be continued.) )
