Seeing that all the civil and military ministers returned to their original positions and sat down, King Zhou Jing's heart was filled with contempt again. Of course! It is to despise those who are brainless. These people are just a hairy person in front of him, Lao Tzu and others.

! It's seen through before you mix, and you're still mixing yarn?

You haven't played your routine yet, but you've been seen through by others, and you're still playing with yarn? People are watching your jokes, you guys? You people!

Lao Tzu couldn't help nodding in his heart when he saw that King Zhou Jing asked those people to get up and let the two sides sit down and argue.

Our Great Zhou Tianzi is really not a faint king, he is just very helpless!

Although he is the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the situation has become like this, and he can't do anything. Although he, like the ancestors of the past dynasties, wanted to change the fate of the Zhou family. But? The Zhou family was already weak, and there were no princes to obey their orders anymore, and they did not have the strength to conquer those disobedient princes, so they could only let it go.

Now the Eastern Zhou, no! In the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was like this, the Son of Heaven did not have many troops in his hands, and you couldn't adjust the strength of the princes, and you were not even as good as the ordinary princes. You have nothing but the name of the Son of Heaven and a jade seal in your hand that symbolizes the status of the Son of Heaven.

In the current Zhou Room, you have no other way than to maintain the status quo.

Maintain the status quo, in order to ask for a nominal Dongdong, people still have to come to you for an official document and the jade seal. Since something has come to you, you must bring tribute to deal with it. Such! can barely maintain the situation of Da Zhou.

And if you blindly want to restore your status and dominate the world, it is possible that the princes of the world will unite and destroy your Great Zhou.

Right now! More than one vassal state can destroy your Great Zhou, but many. It's just that they don't want to do it, for fear of getting angry. But! You Da Zhou must restore the power of Da Zhou, it will inevitably affect the interests of various princes and kings, so! They will unite to destroy you.

That's it!

So! As long as you don't propose to conquer these princes, don't mention the restoration of power to dominate the world, and then revitalize the majesty of the Zhou family, and don't go against the princes of the world, no prince will dare to propose to destroy you.

In terms of family affairs, King Zhou Jing connived at the princes to fight each other in order to cultivate the fighting spirit of the princes. He always thought that if the prince was defeated in the competition for the crown prince. So! He will not be able to win the battle for the position of the Son of Heaven, and he will not be able to be qualified for the position of the Son of Heaven.

King Zhou Jing meant: You all gang up for me! Whoever has the greatest power will be the Son of Heaven in the future.

Of course! He didn't want the princes to be unscrupulous, but! Through his ability and benevolence, he was supported by the ministers of the imperial court. He hoped that the princes would complete the reorganization of their forces through formal means.

But? Now the situation has changed, and it is the forces behind the Prince Ji Dynasty that have formed an overwhelming advantage and reorganized their forces. This prince Ji Chaoren is smart and can be qualified for the position of the future Son of Heaven, but the thinkers behind him were obtained by improper means.

On that basis, he was not satisfied.

If it weren't for the unscrupulous forces behind the Prince Ji Dynasty, Prince Ji Meng's virtue, he would have abolished the position of the prince a long time ago, and let the Prince Ji Dynasty be the prince.

Outcome! Until now! The people of the Prince Ji Dynasty have to inch in, and gradually have the intention of forcing the palace, and they all take him, the king of Zhou Jing, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, seriously. This made him even more unbearable, but he had to endure it and let these jumping clowns continue to jump. When the time comes, let's take it again.

Only when all these people are exposed to their true forms and their true colors are exposed, and the evidence is conclusive, they can be taken down in one fell swoop and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

So! Zhou Jingwang deliberately let these people jump out and jump, but he pretended to be incompetent. And then! Another shock. And then! and give you face, let you sit down and talk about the Tao.

Right now! You say that Lao Tzu's way is to deceive the heavens, deceive the gods, deceive the king, deceive the superiors, and disturb the hearts of the people in the world, but the other side thinks that it is not? What to do? You can't just say it, can you? Good! Right now! I let you debate the pros and cons, and whoever wins the debate will be right.

The historical allusion to sitting and talking about the Tao comes from this.

Under the auspices of King Zhou Jing, the ministers of civil and military affairs were divided into two camps, one was the positive side and the other was the negative side, and they debated in the court face to face. When Lao Tzu's side could not reply, Lao Tzu himself would come out and explain accordingly. Normally, the ministers would explain it on their behalf.

Although Lao Tzu only opened the altar yesterday to preach, he only talked about a general idea, but! At that time, there were many people who understood, understood, and supported Lao Tzu. These people are also the first batch of Taoists in history, the first people to accept Lao Tzu's moral teachings, and they are the first disciples of Lao Tzu.

The meaning of sitting and talking about the Tao is: not talking about the major affairs of governing the country in the court, but talking about the truth, so it is considered empty talk by later generations. It is also extended from this that when talking about serious things, but talking about irrelevant things, this is "sitting and talking".

This is how to really sit and talk about the Tao: under the auspices of King Zhou Jing, the pros and cons discussed and debated the Tao and virtue of Lao Tzu.

The truth is clearer and clearer the more debated it is, and in this debate, everyone has a deeper understanding of Lao Tzu's Taoist theory. And because of this! Lao Tzu went from an obscure scholar to the focus of attention of the world.

But! Because Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" doctrine is advanced thinking, paying attention to the equality of everyone, the equality of man and all things, the result! Always against those who covet real life.

Specifically, it is opposed by those who can live happily for the time being, in the present, and probably for some time in the future. To put it more simply, most of those rich and powerful people are strongly opposed to Lao Tzu's moral doctrine.

Because! Accepting Lao Tzu's moral doctrine means making him give up the happy life in front of him. Or! Their immediate happiness will be affected by this. So! Naturally, they were strongly opposed.

And those who have experienced hardship, those who have struggled to think about life and social issues, are immediately accepted.

In a word: those who only care about themselves cannot accept Lao Tzu's Taoist teachings. And those who are bent on thinking about the peace of the world, and the happiness of mankind of course includes their own happiness, are all supporters of Taoism.

The end result was, of course, that the powerful and wealthy prevailed. Because! They can control others. And those who live in suffering, or those who are thinking hard about life, because "people are small and have little power", you believe in Taoism, you can't change reality, you can only change yourself......

So! It is the rich and powerful who guide the social trend, direction, and ideology, not the intellectuals. The poor 1 under 1 middle school and 1 peasant can only passively accept it, and they are kidnapped on the wheel of history.
