Although it was winter, the Temple of Heaven Square was hot, and countless students from Mengxue and County Schools worshiped the heavens under the leadership of the Master. The black-clothed ** lazily separated them a few feet, lest they have a physical altercation, and as for what they shouted, these poor people, who had long been accustomed to high decibels, didn't care at all.

"If you can't read, don't you know what's at stake!? Fools know how to eat, and the old farmers in the fields can pay their taxes even more, and the more they read, the more empty they talk about, and the more they don't know what is at stake! ”

"Financial matters are not only the interests of one's own family, but the interests of tens of millions of families. If you don't know how to read or read, how can you tell the root of financial affairs? If you don't distinguish the root cause, how can you care about the benefits and disadvantages!? ”

"False quibble! We, the Mo Society, oppose the election of the East Courtyard after the county school is completed! ”

"Strong words! Our virtuous society advocates that only those who have meritorious fame can enter the East Courtyard! ”

These two groups of people were arguing, and the master who led the students was annoyed, and scolded angrily: "What kind of Mo Society and Xian Society, how good is it to have this spare time to teach and educate people, and write books!?" You young people in the academy know that empty talk about the country is! It's not as good as the county school students I teach! ”

There are many stone chairs placed in the outer circle of the Temple of Heaven, and the three scholars are dressed in the fashionable "Inspire clothes" at the moment. With a satisfied and lazy face, he sat on a stone chair and leisurely looked at the square. In their eyes, this movement is only interesting.

A young man in his early twenties, dressed in an old-fashioned Confucian shirt, shook his head on another stone chair and sighed: "People's hearts are not the same, how can this country last for a long time, and I don't know what the court and the court think, so that people's hearts are so confused?" ”

The three scholars glanced at each other, and a guy with rough eyebrows said in a rough voice: "Brother Tai has just come to the middle school, right?" Just see this? This is still the weakest time, if it was when Yutou Street was making waves a while ago, wouldn't that battle scare my brother Tai? ”

The young man was very polite, and arched his hand: "The younger brother has indeed just come to Guangdong, listening to the meaning of the virtuous brother, it seems that this dynasty does not care about people's hearts?" ”

The quarrel between the two gangs also led the young man's thoughts, and he sighed: "Also, the imperial court prospered industry and commerce, abandoned farming, and what stocks and treasury bonds caused a big mess earlier, and now they are opening the east and west courtyards, and the roots are all on the silver money, and the people's hearts are attached to the silver money, and it doesn't matter if the people's hearts are chaotic or not, as long as the silver money is controlled." ”

These three people are the three of Tang, Song and Li who have just come out of the Boundless Palace, and their thick eyebrows are Song Ji. He smiled and said, "That's a bad word! This dynasty attaches the most importance to the hearts of the people, but it is the root of the people's hearts, not the branches of the people's hearts. ”

The young man prayed and said, "Please teach ,...."

Song Ji asked: "What does Brother Tai believe?" ”

The young man said, "I believe in the words of the sages. ”

"What about the words of the sages?"

"Above? Is there anything more credible than the words of the sages? ”

"The sage's subtle words are just explaining the way of heaven, don't you believe in heaven?"

"This ......, so said, that is self-believing."

"By the way, as long as you believe in God, the foundation of this person's heart is right, as long as the root is right, what if the branches are wrong? Isn't the towering tree just spreading by branches? ”

The young man was not very accustomed to Song Ji's jumping inspiration, and he was stunned and didn't know how to answer, Tang Sunho smiled beside him: "It just so happens that I just listened to the teachings of the sages, so we will also fry and sell them now, and let's have some brothers." ”

Tang Sunho asked: "Heaven is at ease, people can only use the Tao to peep into the sky, the Tao derives reason, and rationalizes all things, is this right?" ”

The young man seemed to have read a lot of books, nodded and said: "This is the way of God, the student has read it, although the rhetoric is poor, but it is indeed in line with the foundation of the Taoist and Confucian schools, as well as the theory of qi, this article, the student believes." ”

Tang Sunhao continued: "We all recognize the way of heaven, so what does Brother Tai think of the way of heaven and humanity of people?" ”

The young man said without hesitation: "That is the way of kissing and respecting, Confucius!" ”

Li Fangying interjected: "Kong Sheng is the same, but humanity is only attached to the bloodline?" For example, you and I, although we can be extended from the way of blood to our compatriots in Taiwan, but between us, should we first talk about the way of blood, or do we talk about the three virtues of heaven and man in the way of God? ”

Although many words have been changed, the meaning has never changed. In the whole world, everyone is one, God allows people to be women and children, and God allows people to benefit themselves without harming each other. …,

The young man was silent, the first one seems to come from Mo Zhai, in fact, Lao Zhuang Confucius and Mencius have discussions, the second one seems to come from Yang Zhu, but Confucius and Mencius will never contradict it, and the third is the benevolence advocated by Confucius and Mencius. The three principles of heaven and man in the way of God take people and profit as clues, and "profit" is very wide-ranging, covering almost everything in the world, whether it is virtual or real.

The humanity of Confucius and Mencius only starts from the bloodline, but there is no real foothold, so it is naturally not as good as this heavenly and human Sanlun to outline the humanitarianism.

What Li Fangying asked, that is, to get along with people, is to act with the way of Confucius as the benchmark, or to act with the three principles of heaven and man as the benchmark. If you answer the Confucian Taoist theory, then how to cover both sides of business and both sides of employment, this is not possible to use relatives and respect to guide actions. Even if it is close to relatives and respect, people have a saying: "Relatives and brothers settle accounts." It shows that there is also a set of rules between people, which covers a wider range than kissing and respecting.

It seems that he noticed that the landing point of this rule is still in the word "benefit", and the young man counterattacked: "The way of Confucius, even if it cannot be applied to profit, is the most applicable to the country among all the humanes." People have a family, a family has a country, if a country does not rely on Confucius and Mencius, how can it become a country!? ”

Tang Sunho took over the words, "You said that the most important point of humanity, the country, how can it become a country!?" Let me ask you, what is the reason for this country? ”

Young people were stunned, why is there a country? This is a strange question......

But after all, he was also quick-witted, and immediately reacted: "That is to protect the family and protect the people, if a country is not there, why there is a home, if the family is broken, how can there be a people." ”

Tang Sunhao shook his head: "One thing is free, it has its existence, and it also has its needs." You have only spoken of the existence of a nation, just as a man must eat in order to live. But it didn't talk about what a country wants, just like what people live for, they are not adults just living for the sake of living. If a country is only to protect the family and the people, why is it that China has been in China for 3,000 years, and the country has been in contact with the country for 300 years? ”

The young man was finally asked, this is also the dead knot of Kong Mengdao.

It was Song Ji's turn to speak, and he had more experience in this regard, he said: "The way of heaven is obvious, and it is constantly being followed, comparing the people of billions of trillions to a person, this person is always seeking profit. In the past 3,000 years, how much has the world changed? It's all a change born of profit. So, how did a country become a country? It is to allow people to seek profit, and to allow people to seek profit, we must practice the three principles of heaven and man. ”

Song pointed to the center of the Temple of Heaven, and under the huge wordless stone tablet on the altar, there was the "Emperor Ying Junxian", that is, the covenant between the emperor and all the people, "Your Majesty's covenant has made it very clear what our country is for, practicing the three virtues of heaven and man, allowing everyone in the country to benefit without harming each other, as long as it has been walking on this road, this country will always be there!" ”

The young man opened his mouth slightly, his eyes flickered, and he understood what the monarch was talking about at this time, not about the relationship between the emperor and the people, but about the foundation of the country.

After a long time, the sound of quarrel in the square came, and the young man came to his senses, and he had doubts again.

"Since this dynasty has practiced humanity with this covenant and formed a new country, it should use the Divine Way to derive political and academic thinking and unify the hearts of the people. Looking at the governance of His Majesty and the imperial court, but they can do it in various ways, and even set up the east and west courts, allowing industry and commerce to participate in politics, people's hearts are so chaotic, how can they work together? ”

Hearing this, Tang, Song and Li laughed at the same time, and Li Fangying said, "Call it chaos now?" After some time, many European writings came out, and it was then that it was chaotic. ”

Tang Sunho said: "The country of Europeans, in my Chinese opinion, is almost a mess of scattered sand. The Britons also had two houses, and it was difficult for the king to act without the permission of both houses. The Dutch even ruled the country by two chambers, and the merchants ruled the country. ”

"There are also people in Europa, and they also advocate that there is no distinction between high and low in the world."

"They used the principle of merchants to buy and sell, and regarded a country as a contract between the people and the court."

"They believe that a country is established to protect the private property of its people."

"They believe that the power of kings is given by the people, not by heaven or gods."

"They believed that the king was bound by the law of the peoples, and that he had no privilege to go beyond the law of the peoples, that is, the constitution." …,

"They believed that the law was the heart of all people, and that it was closer to the will of heaven than the heart of a king and the knowledge of a scholar."

"They believed that the power to make the law rested with the people, and that the king and the government could only judge and govern according to the law."

Among the three, Tang Sunho paid more attention to the absorption of Europa ideas, especially the ideas of the Britons Hobbes and Locke, and at the same time, in the communication with Voltaire and Rousseau, he also understood the germination of the French enlightenment ideas. Therefore, he has the deepest understanding of what Europeans think.

This statement made the young man stunned, and his brain was like a fragile wooden fence, and suddenly slammed into a herd of bison, and the boundaries of the past were suddenly messy.

It took a long time before he stammered: "This, these things, the court and the court can also allow them to spread to the world!?" ”

Li Fangying looked at this young man who looked a little like his former self playfully, and asked, "Do you think these things are right or wrong?" ”

The young man took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "Some statements seem to be reasonable, but some statements are too ungentlemanly. I have been in China for 3,000 years, and although it is difficult for the country to have 300 years of luck, this is only a decline. If you look at it, it is still the king and the court who lead a country, and no one wants to stand in a country without a king, which will make the people feel that a country has nothing to rely on. ”

The three of them glanced at each other and nodded at the same time, this young man's insight is also extraordinary] At the same time, his voice should also be the common voice of the students in the country. The people of China have not yet learned to see through their own interests at this time, and they have always been accustomed to having someone take charge of their own interests. Pushing it up, it is natural to hope that there will always be a person in charge of this country, that is, a king in charge.

Therefore, the students thought that it was really inappropriate for the imperial court to spread all the Europeans' speeches! The hearts of the people in this country are not yet unified, and what the students say is that there are still those who believe in all kinds of ways, and those who can understand the way of God are still in the minority. Now that these remarks are excessive, they will inevitably be used by them to suppress His Majesty and the imperial court, and the country will be in chaos, and my hope for a resurgence in China will be shattered. ”

The young man's suggestion was also the suggestion of the three of them when they faced Li Shi before, and Li Shi's answer was just used to deal with this young man.

Li Fangying said: "But Huaxia and Europe are intersecting and becoming more and more dense, and these remarks can't be suppressed after all, what should I do?" ”

Song Ji also said: "If business affairs are prosperous, these truths will become more and more clear, and the people will become more and more accustomed to looking at national affairs with business affairs. ”

The young man did not know that he had become a sample of the hearts of the three great men who were called the "Three Sages of the West" in the future, and he frowned and said, "Yes, how is this a good ",..."
