Confucius understands the truth, and with his IQ, he can understand it at one point. Let alone! When he was in Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Lao Tzu had already given him a general explanation of sociological knowledge and the outline of Taoist doctrine. With Confucius's IQ, he naturally comprehended it all.

But! The problem does not arise in these areas, but in the fundamental perceptions. That is to say, it arises on the question of idealism and materialism. The starting point is wrong, everything is wrong.

Lao Tzu and Taoism both believe that everything evolves, evolves, and changes. It is only because of the hindrance of traditional concepts and cognition that they dare not explain it publicly. To explain it openly is tantamount to a denial of traditional cognitive concepts.

The traditional cognitive concept is that there are gods in this world, and everything is created by gods.

If Lao Tzu and Taoism openly preach this, it is anti. Although you look at the world and understand the world in a materialist dialectic, you are scientific. But you are ahead of your time, and ordinary people can't accept it. In order to compromise, Taoism is generally interpreted in public, and it is ambiguous. So! The world and future generations do not have a clear understanding of the Word. Some people interpret the Tao as God, and some people have an ambiguous understanding of the Tao.

But! The real Taoists, those with brains, know that this world is evolved, not created by the gods. Because of the ages, mankind may never be able to explore the origin of the universe. You can't tell where it came from, and people fuck you up and don't think your perception is correct.

You have a complete chain of evidence to prove that everything is evolved, but others just fuck up not accepting it.

And Confucius clearly knew that what Lao Tzu said made sense, but he just didn't accept it. He believed that the world was created by the gods. After having the concept of idealism, he has the reverence for the gods, the Son of Heaven, and the king. But? In the face of reality, he began to stay away from strangeness, power, chaos, gods, and ghosts and gods. So! In real life, he is very paradoxical.

Exactly because of this! He dealt with certain events with an idealistic point of view, with that kind of hopeful mentality, hoping that the gods would help him. Sometimes! By extension, it is a fluke mentality. For example: in the case of the fall of the three capitals.

With his IQ, how could he not take into account the interference of foreign forces such as the Qi State?

But he felt that he was doing a righteous deed, and he was doing a good deed for mankind. So! Heaven and the gods will help him.

Outcome! This idealism of his brought him devastating disaster. If it weren't for Shang Zhong, if it weren't for Fang Zhong's mercy, he would not only die himself, but also might have to punish the clan.

If it weren't for Fang Zhong, if he had changed to another Taoist, he would have taken the opportunity to kill Confucius.

The Taoist outlook on life is like this: others are not good for me, it directly affects my survival, and! If I can meet this guy and not die, it will always threaten my survival and affect my life. So! This man is my enemy. For the enemy! If you can't beat him, there's no way, if you can beat him, if you can clean him up, let him die!

We have a sense of security only when the enemy is dead.

"Why are you against my falling to Sandu?" Confucius asked, "Doesn't this directly affect your life?" ”

The fall of Sandu directly affects the power of Sanhuan's family, and for the people in Sanhuan's family, it seems that there is no direct impact. Because! The height of the city wall and the strength of Sanhuan's family are directly related to the power of the family. And Fang Zhong! is just a small person in the Ji family in Sanhuan.

When Ji Pingzi was still there, Fang Zhong and his wife were favored, protected by Ji Pingzi, and there was a certain amount of power. But since Ji Huanzi inherited the title, Fang Zhong's status has been directly down, and he is fortunate not to be persecuted.

In fact, it is true that Ji Huanzi is very dissatisfied with Fang Zhong. It's not that I'm not satisfied with Fang Zhong, but! Fang Zhong's fiefdom was too large, which directly affected the foundation of his prestige.

If there is less fiefdom, there will be less taxes, and if there is no money, what will you do to make a fortune? Furthermore! Ji Huanzi is the ruling minister, in the country of Lu! Except for the puppet king Lu Gong above, he is the boss. With fewer fiefs and fewer taxes, he can't develop his army or engage in diplomacy. Without money, you can't do anything.

So! Ji Huanzi was very dissatisfied with Fang Zhong, and he intended to harm but couldn't make a move. Nature! Someone wanted to harm Fang Zhong, so he took the opportunity to pretend not to know.

Exactly because of this! Since Ji Pingzi's death, Fang Zhong and his wife have been in a very difficult situation. If it weren't for Jiaojiao being Ji Pingzi's granddaughter and still having some popularity in the Ji family, I'm afraid that soon after Ji Huanzi came to power, their husband and wife would be killed.

So! Whether in ancient society or in modern society, being born in a hereditary aristocratic or wealthy family may not be able to live a stable aristocratic life. It can only be a moment of time, and happiness is a moment. If you don't participate in the class struggle, if you don't participate in the struggle, your happy life will be short-lived. Even! I don't know who killed you when you die?

"I'm going to take care of my grandchildren!" Fang Zhong said seriously.

"Grandson? Do you have grandchildren? When Confucius heard this, his heart felt like a needle pricked.

He is in his fifties and has not seen his grandson. There are nephews, nieces and nephews, and nieces and nephews, but there are no grandchildren or granddaughters. Kong Li and Fang Qin have not given birth to children so far.

When Ji Huanzi heard Fang Zhong say this, he also turned his gaze and looked at Fang Zhong. The fire of jealousy in my heart ignited all at once. But! He couldn't believe it? Will Fang Zhong have grandchildren? His little daughter can walk, right? Has his son Ji Fang grown hair? He already has grandchildren?

"We Taoists live in the real world, and believe that life is just a process of life, and that living is a person's task and purpose. But! We don't just live for the sake of living, we have parents and elders, and we have children and grandchildren.

So! We have to take care of our parents, our elders, support them, and take care of their old age. and bring up their children until they reach the age of majority and become their own children.

As human beings, we take care of our parents and elders first, and raise our children and offspring last. So! Under normal circumstances, when we are alive, we can only see our grandchildren, and only the grandchildren are our concern.

Isn't it? Under normal circumstances, they are all dead and no longer need our support and care. And the children are all adults, have their own families, and have their own children and offspring. So! They don't need us to worry about them. So! What we are most worried about, concerned about, and worried about is our grandchildren. They may not be adults yet, and they need more care from us.

So! Taoists think! After taking care of his parents and elders alone, it is good to be able to take care of his grandchildren at the end of his life. Great-grandchildren, and future generations beyond, are not our concern.

Taoists think! We live in the real world, not in the imaginary ideals, dreams, unrealistic, and unrealistic world. Four generations later, it's up to them to worry about it! You can't that either.

So! I am directly against your fall into the three capitals! Because! It will have a direct impact on the lives and survival ...... my grandchildren."

"How can it be straightforward?" Confucius asked puzzled. "Not directly, huh?"

Fang Zhong waved his hand and said, "Sir, I still don't want me to continue, if I say it, it will be bad for you." You are not guilty of a capital crime, but a condemnation! ”
