"You?" The crown prince Ji Meng couldn't sit still anymore, and he was about to jump up as soon as he pressed the table in front of him with his hand. But! When he noticed that his father and the others were paying attention to him, he sat back in his seat. But! But his face was distorted in anger, his eyes looked around, and he looked like an aggressive rooster.

Fang Jishi also wanted to attack, but he still held back.

In this case, no one can help Lao Tzu Li Er. In this case, whoever helps Lao Tzu is Lao Tzu's follower, and it is easy to be hated by the prince and Ji Chao and his gang.

The other people on the positive side had the heart to help Lao Tzu speak, but they couldn't answer the question of Prince Ji Chao, and they had the heart to help but couldn't help.

The questions raised by the prince Ji Chao are different from those raised by ordinary people, and the questions raised by others are very profound, and if you do not have absolute sociological knowledge and philosophical knowledge, you will not be able to answer them at all.

Right now! People will catch your mistake and say that you are disintegrating society, that you are splitting people's hearts, and that what you are doing is wrong, and you are plotting rebellion and demagoguery! If you can't answer his question, don't say that your crime is confirmed, at least! So that you can't preach anymore. Because! There is something wrong with your reasoning, so block it.

After everyone was stunned for a while, everyone's attention naturally shifted to Lao Tzu.

Saw! Lao Tzu was calm and calm, and he didn't look panicked or scared at all. Opposite! Seeing that everyone had seen it, he laughed self-deprecatingly.

And then! Turning to Prince Ji Chao, he nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you Prince for the reminder!" Thank you! ”

When everyone heard this, they were puzzled?

What's going on? Prince Ji Chao is clearly trying to frame you, what else do you thank him? Do you want to die, thank him for giving you a ride, and let you die early?

Prince Ji Chao didn't think about it for a while, why did Lao Tzu Li Er still thank him? Suddenly! His face stiffened, and he stared at Lao Tzu's face. Seeing that what Lao Tzu seemed to say was true, he was even more puzzled.

What the? He still wants to thank me? Thank me for what?

Didn't he know that I was going to frame him? Am I his nemesis?

"Lear was about to explain the problem! Haven't had a chance to explain yet! Right now! Since the prince asked, that's good! I'll explain it now! ”

Lao Tzu said, arched his hand towards everyone, and made a gesture salute. Gesture Ceremony! That is, the greeting ceremony, that is, the popular "fist and hand" ceremony in later generations.

And then! He greeted King Zhou Jing again: "Lord! ”

Zhou Jingwang snorted in his nose and nodded his head, indicating that the "widow" was listening.

Lao Tzu then started to speak, saying: "I've been looking for an opportunity to explain this problem, but I just feel that the opportunity is not appropriate!" I'm going to explain social relationships, so! You have to find the right opportunity, otherwise others will feel confused when you explain it. What is the problem? This question is the source of society, of the state, of the Son of Heaven and of the princes and kings, of the state.

Before! I'm talking about the Word! It makes sense! What is reasoning for? It is used to serve the society! Right now! It's time for me to talk about society, about the world of the Son of Heaven, and about the world of princes and kings. What I'm going to talk about: what is a country! ”

When Lao Tzu said this, he paused, looked at the prince Ji Chao, and nodded.

Prince Ji Chao also nodded in response.

Both sides know it, that's it. Meaning: You say! I'm listening! No! It's "listening".

"Now! I am not only interpreting society, but also answering the prince's question. Society! It's a combination of people! Society is made up of individual people. There are people first, and then there is society and the state.

Someone first! In ancient times, there was no country, no son of heaven and no king! There is only one family group, one group centered on blood relations. And! The team is not very united. In the early days of human beings, human intelligence was not yet mature and civilized! At that time, human beings were no different from animals. But! Definitely smarter than brutes.

Then it took a long time before there was a matriarchal society. Afterwards! That's why there was the era of 'knotted rope chronicles'. With a matriarchal society, human beings gradually developed. At that time, there was a family concept, centered on the family, and the family rallied around the mother and lived according to the mother's instructions. At this time, there was civilization......

And then! Only then did there be a patriarchal society! Patrilineal societies, that is, modern ones, are centered on the father. In the beginning, there were only families, clans, and tribes made up of clans and clans. And then! Only then did the country come in. Tribes are the first national ......"

Lao Tzu is talking about the same general meaning as Engels in the book "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State". It's just that! Lao Tzu spoke more than 2,000 years earlier than Engels.

Lao Tzu means: Originally, there was no state, and families, clans, tribes, and states were all established to protect the survival of people. When a person feels that they do not need to be dependent on the family, clan, tribe, organization, or country, they have no concept of family, family, tribe, organization, and state.

"Mr. Lao Tzu!" Prince Ji Chao interrupted Lao Tzu's speech again, pretending to be puzzled, and asked, "What's the use of these theories you are talking about?" Like your word, it is useless! Still can't solve real-life problems! Mr. Lao Tzu! ”

It's not just the prince Ji Chao who thinks so, but! A lot of people. There are many people who still don't understand what Lao Tzu means when he talks about "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State"?

Fang Jishi had heard of some of them, when he was in the special forces, he went to a party school and received training from the party. It's just that he doesn't study theory, and he doesn't understand why scholars like to talk about these "unsuitable" topics and theories.

Lao Tzu looked at the prince Ji Chao and said: "Only by understanding the essence of society and the country can we effectively and purposefully govern!" We don't know where the country comes from, so how can we better and fundamentally govern the country and the world? ”

Seeing that Prince Ji Chao still pretended not to understand, Lao Tzu explained: "It's like a quack doctor, you say that he seeks medical treatment for headaches, and you say that he seeks medical treatment for foot pain. The same is true for governing a country, we must first understand the origin of the state, what is the state. And then! Only by understanding the essence of human beings can we better govern the country and the world according to this.

The state exists to protect the people's right to exist, and as a prince, you should know this, right? Needless to say, your liberal arts teacher should have taught you. Furthermore! As a prince, he was born as a retainer and received these things from the education he received since he was a child. If your liberal arts teacher isn't teaching you this, then! This liberal arts teacher is not qualified.

After analyzing the nature of the state and man, I thought? I don't need to explain the question I just asked, do I?

But! Li Er was still willing to answer the prince's question just now. Lear had no intention of rebellion, not to disintegrate the Son of Heaven's world and the king's country. But! That's the nature of society! Society is made up of individual people. If you want to govern the society, the country and the world well, you must first govern the people. If you don't govern people well, and only deal with social phenomena, you are a quack doctor who has a headache and a pain in your feet. Li Er wanted to ask: Is the prince a quack or a good doctor? ”
