"Inspector General! The Son of Heaven has granted it, so tell me what Heaven is! And you guys! Let's all speak freely! Tell Prince Ben, what is heaven? The little prince said, looking at the Inspector and smirked wickedly.

Fang Jishi and the others saw that the little prince had stopped asking about the defense, and they snickered one by one.

The person who defended the party suffered a dumb loss and was stumped by a little doll, suddenly! Much less arrogant. glanced at the little prince one by one with resentment, and saw the innocent appearance of the little prince, and then he was the little prince again, and he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

The atmosphere at the scene was awkward for a while, and then Zhou Jingwang came out to mediate: "First time! Lao Tzu's Tao is equal to the heaven of the square, one to one! ”

All the ministers of civil and military affairs shifted their attention to the side of King Zhou Jing, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, especially the people on the side of the defense, with a feeling of gratitude. Seriously! If it weren't for Zhou Jingwang coming out to mediate, I don't know how long this embarrassing atmosphere would last. The people on Lao Tzu's side will not take the initiative to reconcile, and they will only make you continue to be embarrassed.

No! Not embarrassing, but embarrassing!

"You're going to have a second debate, right? Lack of numbers! Zhou Jingwang, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, said, leaned on the dragon couch, narrowed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.

The old eunuch stepped forward quickly and asked in a low voice, "Lord?" Do you want? Go to the study and sleep for a while? ”

Zhou Jingchao waved his arm at the old eunuch, and said weakly: "Go!" Let the Imperial Chef prepare a light meal for them! Today! They don't debate the winner, and no one leaves. No one is allowed to leave, for no reason! ”

"Yes!" The old eunuch agreed. Forthwith! Standing at the front desk, he said to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs below, "The Lord has said it!" The debate continues! No one will want to leave! Anyone has to put down everything and sit down! ”

After the old eunuch finished speaking, he trotted to the backstage and told the little eunuch to go to the kitchen and prepare a "working meal" for these civil and military ministers.

When the ministers of civil and military affairs in the audience heard this, their faces changed greatly.

When Fang Jishi, Lao Tzu and others heard this, they were happy.

Good! That's what you want! If you don't debate the winners, no one will want to leave. Lest you give up halfway, and the next time you pick up the old topic and talk nonsense for a long time, and say all the repetitive words, just like a street shrew quarreling.

"Actually! I think? Heaven and Tao do not conflict! One is the previous title and the other is the current title. In the past, we had a vague understanding of the sky, and we couldn't say it clearly, finally! There is a reverence for the heavens. And now! Mr. Lao Tzu put forward the theory of Taoism, I personally think? Nice, huh? With the Word, we can better understand the meaning of heaven. Isn't it? ”

Seeing that the atmosphere of the scene had changed, and still no one spoke, Fang Jishi said loudly.

There was silence at first, and then! Someone whispered.

Fang Jishi is not a philosopher, nor is it an explanation of the concept of nouns by famous scholars, but he thinks: Lao Tzu's Tao is also an interpretation of heaven.

It is also true that neither ancient nor modern people have yet to give a correct interpretation of the heavens. If you ask what ten human heavens are, there are definitely ten answers, all of which are different.

Whether ancient or modern, the understanding of heaven is vague. The sky is not just the sky above the head, but also contains the power of mystery and the awe of it. Even! Deify the heavens.

In fact! Heaven can only be explained as the heaven above the head, and it can be explained in relation to the earth, and there is nothing special about it. It can be seen that after human beings have cognition and intelligence, because of their limited understanding of the natural world, they have developed a sense of awe for the sky above their heads, and endow the heavens with mysterious powers.

And Lao Tzu! It has carried out a new cognition and understanding of the universe of heaven and earth, and solved the problem of the origin of the universe of heaven and earth. The problem of idealism has been solved, and it has become a materialist dialectical cognition and understanding. But? More than 2,000 years ago, under the influence of the traditional idea of reverence for heaven and gods, coupled with the ulterior motives of some people, people just did not accept your materialist dialectical ideas.

Lao Tzu believes that everything in the universe of heaven, earth and universe has evolved, but what evolved from it? Because of its age, we can't trace the roots. It is precisely because it cannot be traced back to the source, so! We can't explain it clearly. So! Lao Tzu named this "evolution" "Tao".

With the Tao and evolution, we will solve the problem of the origin of the universe of heaven and earth, as well as the source of human beings and all things in nature. In the past, people's idealistic cognition was changed to materialistic cognition, and people's cognition of heaven in the past was mysterious, awe-inspiring, and vague. Right now! There is a rational understanding, there is a basis for understanding.

"I agree! I think the general has a point! Lao Tzu's way! It's an explanation of the heavens! ”

"I agree too! Lao Tzu's Tao is an explanation of heaven! ”

"I agree too! Lao Tzu's Tao is an explanation of heaven! The Tao is the sky, and the sky is the Tao! Heavenly Dao, Heavenly Dao! Good! ”

The civil and military ministers who stood on Lao Tzu's side thought about it and felt that Fang Jishi's statement was very good. With the phrase "Heavenly Dao", the two sides no longer need to quarrel over the issue of "Dao" and "Heaven".

Heaven and Tao have become one family, so there is no crime of "deceiving the heavens, deceiving the gods, deceiving the king, deceiving the superiors, and disturbing the hearts of the people in the world".

Although the people on the defense side were not convinced, they could not explain what heaven was. How did the sky come about? I had to nod and agree and admit Lao Tzu's "Tao".

"But! I must affirm! The sky is big, the sky is ahead! The Tao is small, and the Tao is behind! So! It should be called 'Heavenly Dao', not 'Dao Tian'. ”

The word Heavenly Dao, hence the provenance!

The sky is in front, and the Tao is in the back. Don't let Lao Tzu's way deceive the sky. After all! Lao Tzu's proposal of the Tao is countless and countless years later than the ancestors proposed heaven. The word "heaven" began to exist long before there was no written word, when human beings had IQ. And Lao Tzu's "Tao" was only put forward yesterday. So! In any case, the heavens should be in front and the Tao should be behind.

"Hmm!" King Zhou Jing, the Great Son of Heaven who was sitting on the throne of the Son of Heaven, heard that the people below had compromised, accepted Fang Jishi's suggestion, and combined the Tao with the sky, and his heart was happy. He pretended to be dreamy and snorted. His mouth moved, his eyes blinked, and he went back to pretending to be asleep.

"This is acceptable! Acceptable! Lao Tzu saw that the person on the defense side compromised, and accepted it when he saw that it was good, and nodded and agreed.

Originally, this is the case, the Tao is the sky, and the sky is the Tao. The way of heaven is the way of heaven, and it is easier to call it than the way of heaven, so it is called "the way of heaven"!

At least! Your word has been recognized by the other party, which is not a small reward. If the other party doesn't admit it, and insists that you deceive the sky, the gods, the king, the superior, and disturb the hearts of the people in the world, there is no excuse for the crime you want to add, isn't it? People are in power, find a reason to kill you, what else do you do?
