Chapter 676: Small Countries and Widows
"What's the use of studying at my university?" Confucius sighed.
"It works!" Zilu replied, "I believe in Mr.'s doctrine! Sir's university is a life-saving study, and it is worth learning. If all the people in this world can be like Mr. ”
"It works!" Yan Hui also replied: "Hui is willing to learn from Mr. and is willing to serve Mr. ”
"It works!" Yan Hui's father also replied: "I am also a student of Mr., and I know that it is useful, so I sent my son to learn from Mr. ”
Looking at the three of them, Confucius was very moved. At least! When he was in trouble, there were three people who supported him and believed in him.
The afternoon sun was warm, which made Confucius feel that blood boiling. Glancing at the green earth, Confucius suddenly became full of vitality like spring.
But! He still sighed: "Fang Zhong said! It didn't work! We just live in our own small world, a small world that we have created ourselves, and we can't save this world. Instead of the big world......"
"What did Fang Zhong say?" As soon as Zilu heard this, the anger suddenly came up.
I thought: You Fang Zhong! Are you begging for a beating? Believe it or not, I beat you?
Today's Zilu, although he is already very "Zhou Li", and under the education of Confucius, he is already very "loyal and forgiving", but his naturally fiery temper still cannot be changed. In appearance, he has changed. But! In his heart, he is still just as impulsive.
In the words of the modern psychologist Sigmund Freud, it is: I am very impulsive and self-repressed.
"Fang Zhonghe? He forgot who took his name? Zilu shouted loudly.
The names of Fang Zhong and Fang Shu were all given to them by Confucius when Fang Jishi asked Confucius, Zhongshu! It is hoped that when they grow up, they will be able to behave with a "loyal and forgiving" heart.
Confucius waved his arm and said, "It's Lao Tzu who said it!" Fang Zhong is also a student of Lao Tzu, he is a Taoist! Taoists believe that we are a small country and a widow. People with the same interests live together to form a nation, no! A group. This is the ...... of the future society."
"Fart!" Zilu scolded rudely. "Where does a small country come from without a country? The Hu cavalry from the north is here and has killed you all! ”
Seeing that Zilu was emotional, Confucius waved his arm and said, "What they said also makes sense, and I am also thinking: Are we really wrong somewhere?" ”
"That's right! Mr! Yan Hui's father said.
"That's right! Mr! We're not wrong! We are not for ourselves, but for the world, where is wrong? We're not wrong? Zilu said affirmatively.
Confucius did not emphasize, explaining in a soothing tone: "Possibly? Are we wrong? We can only represent ourselves for the country and the people, and we cannot represent all the people in the world for the country and the people. We can only represent ourselves to be a serious person, a person with rules, and a conscience; We can only represent ourselves as good officials, but we cannot mean that all officials are good officials.
It is not enough for us to be good people and good officials on our own! The world is so big! So many people! The role of one of us is very small, and it does not make much difference.
Do I think about it? Person! It's all for yourself! We have to admit that. What Taoism said is not wrong, what Lao Tzu said is not wrong, and what Fang Zhong said is not wrong, human nature is selfish! Everything is for survival! We can't survive if we are selfless! Isn't it?
If the king does not give you money, will you be an official? If the king does not guarantee your safety, will you be a ruler? So! Human nature or selfishly, it's all about survival! What are we doing for the country and the people? It's also about survival! Not only for the survival of the people of the world, but also for their own survival. Because! We saw that the world was in turmoil, and the people were struggling to make a living, and they couldn't survive, so we thought about how to survive.
If we don't want to survive, do we go to be officials? If we don't want to survive, why should we care about the lives and deaths of others? It is precisely because the country is in chaos, the world is in chaos, and everyone has no sense of security, that we think about how to survive. I thought about becoming an official and leading everyone to a happy life.
If we are hereditary nobles with no worries about food and clothing, where will we care about the life and death of others? Isn't it? So! Those who save the suffering are those who are born out of suffering! So! Those who are born into the hereditary nobility, who have not experienced suffering, will never know the suffering of the people, and cannot be good kings and officials......"
Then! Many horses galloped from the side of Qufu City, and the official road was dusty, as if an army had come.
Confucius stopped talking and turned to look that way. He was very worried: Ji Huanzi wouldn't just let him go. It's all up to this, Ji Huanzi must continue to drive him away.
"Zilu! Horse-drawn carriage ride! Walk! Confucius commanded. And then! Turn around and go pack your bags. Put the food back in your baggage and take it to the wagon.
These foods are all ready for use at home. He asked Fang Qin to bake him the pancakes and other places, but Fang Qin hadn't had time to make them.
Zilu ran over and led the horse and quickly set up the wheel.
Yan Hui's father and son kept looking towards the south gate, and when they saw a few carriages and a few people on horseback, they were relieved. Where are the people who have not passed through this official road? If you think about Confucius's situation, you can understand why Confucius was afraid. In extraordinary times, anything can happen.
Confucius sat in the driver's seat, brandished his whip, and drove the horse up.
"Drive!"
The horses spread their hooves and the wheels rolled.
Zilu turned on his horse and followed closely behind the carriage.
"Look! It's Ziqian! Yan Hui shouted.
"Sir! They're coming! It's all your students! Yan Hui's father also shouted happily.
Hearing that it was his own student coming, Confucius did not stop and continued to drive the carriage forward.
"Sir! Wait for me! Mr! Ziqian rode in front of the horse, chasing after the carriage and shouting.
Confucius continued to drive the carriage and ignored it.
Zilu just glanced back at Ziqian, ignored it, and continued to walk behind Mr. 's carriage.
"Sir! I'm Ziqian! Ziqian! Min Ziqian urged him to step forward, parallel to Confucius, and said.
"Go to the front and talk!" Confucius nodded at Min Ziqian and said. And then! Continue to drive the carriage.
"Sir! They're all here! Mr! are willing to follow Mr. Min Ziqian said to Confucius.
"What do you want to do?" Confucius shouted, "Don't you think it's messy? Do you want to add to the chaos? ”
"Sir?" Min Ziqian was like being splashed with a basin of cold water, and he didn't understand it.
Behind Min Ziqian, three carriages followed, and the cries of students came from the carriages.
"Sir! Wait for me! ”
"Sir! Wait for me! ”
"Sir! We are willing to follow Mr. ”
"Sir! Woo woo woo ......" In the carriage, there was also the cry of a small child.
Confucius didn't stop, everyone had to follow behind, crying all the way.
"What are you howling? You guys? Zilu saw everyone's virtue, and couldn't help but help.
He didn't understand why Confucius ignored these students, but! The gentleman must have done the right thing. So! He helped Mr. Xiang and shouted at the juniors.
Yan Hui's father saw that Confucius did not stop, so he had to ride a horse and take his son Yan Hui to follow behind. He had no intention of following Confucius to travel around the world, he just sent his son.
After walking for a long time, Confucius came to a bend before he parked the carriage in a spacious place. Jumped out of the carriage and looked at the students who were following them.
"Sir!"
"Sir!"
"Sir!"
The students gathered around, crying and wailing.
