Chapter 232: How Taoism Faces Foreign Invasions

After a commotion and nervousness and excitement, the entire court fell silent, so people's eyes shifted to Lao Tzu, waiting for him to speak.

The people on the right side hope that Lao Tzu can answer this question, not only to solve the difficulties of the prince Ji Dynasty, but also to solve the doubts in their hearts.

The people on the defense side are gloating, waiting to see Lao Tzu's jokes. It's best to see that Lao Tzu can't answer, and in the end he was convicted by King Zhou Jing and put on death row. Hey! What a happy ending!

Lao Tzu saw that the atmosphere was almost the same, so he swallowed a mouthful of saliva first and moistened his throat. Saw! His throat moved up and down, and his facial muscles twitched. As his breathing intensified, the white hair on both sides seemed to flutter.

Lear has been emphasizing one point: life is just a process of life, and people live for the sake of living. Man, like all things, comes from the Tao and returns to the Tao after death. So! We have to cherish our lives. Life is only a few decades, can you not cherish it? There is no need for Li Er to say, everyone knows to cherish it. May I ask all of you? Who wouldn't want to live? Who doesn't want to be greedy? Isn't it?

So! Alive! It's everyone's wish!

Just now Li Er also talked about the origin of the country, didn't he? If you haven't forgotten yet? Do you remember what Li Er said that the state is an institution that appeared to protect the survival of its people?

There are many ways for us humans to protect ourselves, and the first is also common, and that is to protect ourselves! Fools may know this, if you hit him or scare them, they all know to dodge or block, or cry to express their dissatisfaction. Isn't it?

The second way humans can protect themselves is by relying on their families. When I was a child, I relied on my parents, and when I grew up, the family relied on each other. This is family protection, and then there's family protection. Family protection is also important because! People in the same family generally come down from the same ancestor. To put it mildly, a person from a family is also a member of a big family. Isn't it?

So! Family is the third method of human protection.

The fourth method of human protection is team, tribe, organization, and so on. We have a common enemy, and we will come together to fight the enemy. This one! Doesn't need to explain more, right?

The last way to protect is the state! We rely on the state to protect. We pay taxes to the state, and the state arranges for the organization and management of the army against foreign enemies......"

"Wait! Wait a minute! Prince Ji Chao interrupted: "Mr. Lao Tzu! Please don't talk about the big reason, please say the practical! The invasion of foreign enemies is coming, and the nomadic cavalry in the north has come to rob our Da Zhou's property and women, what should I do? ”

At this time, the prince Ji Chao couldn't help but get anxious, and had to interrupt Lao Tzu to continue. I can't let Lao Tzu continue to talk according to his train of thought, I want to interrupt his train of thought and make him mess up.

King Zhou Jing saw that his son Ji Chao's original form was revealed, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

After Lao Tzu's combing just now, he has already heard it, and Lao Tzu has basically answered the question, answering the question of "what to do if a foreign enemy invades Taoism". It doesn't matter if you don't say the rest of the story.

But! For pig brains, we still have to continue to talk about it.

But at this time, Ji Chao interrupted Lao Tzu to continue. Visible! Ji Chao is a thief.

Lao Tzu looked at Prince Ji Chao and sneered.

What a young talent! Pity! His wisdom is in the wrong place!

This man is talented, but he has no virtue.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Lao Tzu again, waiting for Lao Tzu's answer.

When Fang Jishi heard this, he had already heard it. It's true! The latter words are basically needless to say. But! Prince Ji Chao pretended not to understand at this time and deliberately interrupted. Visible! He is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it, and he also wants to fool those pig brains, so that you think that Lao Tzu has not made it clear and cannot speak clearly.

Lao Tzu turned from a sneer to a self-deprecating smile, then shook his head and asked rhetorically, "Prince? Don't you get it yet? Or pretending to be confused? Do you still have to say what Lear said? Li Er has already explained how Taoism will fight against foreign enemies? ”

Prince Ji Chao pretended to be very innocent and responded: "Ji Chao is stupid, I didn't understand!" ”

"You really don't understand?" Lao Tzu asked.

"I really didn't understand!" Prince Ji Chao replied: "What you just said is still a big truth, you still need the country to form an army, and you can't do it without the country!" So! Ji Chao thinks! The Taoist theory is useless and cannot face the invasion of foreign enemies. It is true that society and the country are composed of individuals, but there must be a son of heaven and a king to manage and combine these individuals one by one! ”

This prince Ji Chao is still an eloquent. Listening to what he said, it seems that it is impossible without a country, and it is really impossible to resist foreign invasion without the Son of Heaven and a king. In dealing with foreign enemies, it is absolutely impossible to scatter the sand.

After such a pull by the prince Ji Dynasty, it was also pulled to Lao Tzu's Taoist "no country", which is equivalent to putting a hat on Lao Tzu's theory of "disintegrating the country and the world", and it is also equivalent to buttoning up the charges of "rebellion and demagoguery".

"I, Li Er, thought the prince was smart! Outcome! Disappointing Lear! The prince's comprehension is terrible! Alas! Lao Tzu shook his head and sighed.

"Ji Chao is stupid! I hope Mr. Lao Tzu will give advice! Prince Ji Chao still pretended to be dazed and ignorant, and responded.

"Alas! That being the case! That! I'll go on! Pick up where you interrupted, Prince. If it hadn't been for the prince's interruption, I, Li Er, would have already explained. Good! No more nonsense! Person! It's all greedy! It doesn't matter if you're a learner or not. If you are a person who learns the Tao, you cherish life even more. Those who learn the Tao cherish life, which is different from the world's greed for life and fear of death, so don't be confused.

It is precisely because people are greedy for life that they have the most basic five ways to protect themselves. Don't repeat those five ways to protect yourself! Just said.

Right now! Answering the prince's question: What about us when a foreign invasion comes? What if there is no state administration? If! When the Son of Heaven and the king are not prepared, how do people take precautions?

Lear thought? First! The sense of self-preservation in each of us worked. We resist when we can, run away when we can, and hide when we can. It does not need to be taught by the Son of Heaven, the king, or anyone else, this is the most basic method of self-protection for man.

Second! When an invasion comes, we instinctively assemble our team! A family forms a team, a family members form a team, or a local group forms a team to fight against foreign enemies. This one! It does not need to be taught by the Son of Heaven, the king, or anyone, and this is the most basic method of self-protection for man.

Third! When we are unable to protect ourselves in our own capacity, we think of the army of the state and count on the army.

Fourth! When we are unable to protect ourselves in our own abilities, we will spontaneously and actively seek our own support. For example! Find the same forces in a larger area to fight against foreign invasions.

Prince? Is it a theory again when Lear explains it like this? If yes! So? Excuse me, Prince? How should we deal with foreign invasion? ”
