"Get up! Get up! What else do you kowtow to? We are all people who have learned the Tao, so why should we cling to these worldliness? Get up! Get up! Fang Jishi didn't stand up, just beckoned to Gongzi Ying.

Gongzi Ying didn't pretend anymore and got up. While saying, "Sir said! Taoists are not opposed to the rituals of the world, but! It is not confined to those superficial forms. So! Zhou Li still wants it, and kowtow still has to kowtow. And if you learn from Confucius, stick to Zhou etiquette and etiquette, and eat etiquette and music as food, it is too pedantic. ……”

"Do you think Kongqiu's set is too pedantic?" Fang Jishi interrupted.

"Said the gentleman! Weekly etiquette, etiquette, and weekly system are all needed! But! You can't stick to that, just a little bit of meaning. And the legendary Kongqiu is very concerned about this. I've heard about it! He paid special attention to the sacrifice. Treat the sacrifice as if it were real, as if there was a god in front of you. If that's the case, it's going too far.

The sacrifice is the same as the usual etiquette, and the meaning is enough, so don't stick to it.

Even if it's weekly? Don't worry too much about it. I think! Brother En's understanding, right? The Taoist set is to the point. When the laws of a country are conducive to the survival of its people, we must try our best to obey and support it, and when the laws of a country cannot protect the people's right to live, the country will be doomed, so what is the use of obeying it?

And Conchu he! He did not see this, but vigorously preached his theory: self-denial and revenge. Outcome! Not only did he suffer himself, but he also harmed those who believed in him, and caused his believers to suffer with him......"

"Now Kongqiu? Is he still like that? Fang Jishi interrupted.

Gongzi Ying paused, looked at Fang Jishi, shook his head and said, "I don't know!" I've heard! Now he seems to be different from the legendary him. Although he still preached his doctrine and ideas in front of his father-in-law, he changed his theory somewhat.

And also! I heard my father-in-law say that Kongqiu is not as active as before. Legend has it that before he did, he didn't stop until he reached his goal. Now him! Propaganda is still preaching, preaching at the first opportunity. As long as the father-in-law called him to speak, he preached. But! No more forcing others to accept ......"

"Forcing others to accept?"

"It's not the kind of people who force others to accept it, it's the kind that requires you to promise him and admit that you understand what he said. So! In order not to be annoyed by him, others generally promised him verbally, saying that they understood. And now Kongqiu! It is no longer like this, as if there is an ideological component of Taoism, which is the attitude of fulfilling one's responsibilities and doing one's best. Others love to listen to it, not to force it. Anyway! He says his, it's up to you whether you listen or not. Whenever there is an opportunity, he said. Hey! This kind of attitude is the same as my husband Zhang Shanfeng! ”

"He's like this now?"

"He's like this now! It's not the same as the legendary Kongqiu! Now Kongqiu! It seems to have some Taoist flavor. But? The theory he preached was still the same as his previous one, but it had been improved a little bit, and it had not changed much! I think! His Confucian doctrine and thought have not yet fully matured. Maybe? It can never mature. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Fang Jishi asked. "Now Kong Qiu is already famous all over the world! How can you say that about him? ”

"His fame is due to the fact that he has many students, and the students have spread him to the world. Brother! You have to understand one! Being famous in the world does not mean that he has real talent and real learning, and being famous in the world does not mean that his theory is correct, and being famous in the world does not mean everything. Isn't it?

Is the emperor of the Great Zhou famous all over the world? But? What's the use? Wherever his edict is useful, the king will take it out and tell the matter, saying that he has the edict of the Son of Heaven in his hand. If it's useless to the king, and it's a bad thing, the king won't hang him at all, will he? So! Fame is not everything.

And also! It is better to leave a name for eternity than to leave a stench for thousands of years! Isn't it: leaving a name can only leave a name for eternity, and if it is stinky, it is still ten thousand years! Isn't it?

You may not understand this! Let me explain it like this! For example, thieves! For example, the thieves of the Lu country, isn't it? Megumi Yanagishita's younger brother, isn't it? He's also famous all over the world, right? But he left the name of 'thief', he was a robber.

So! Don't think that Kong Qiu is famous in the world, he is talented! Wrong! All this was blown out by his students. His doctrine and theories cannot help but be scrutinized. He formulated his doctrine and ideas from the perspective and standpoint of catering to the management society, rather than from the perspective of human beings and the survival of human nature. So! His theoretical footing is wrong......"

"He's taking a shortcut!"

"He's called wishful thinking! Detached from reality! ”

"He said that Lao Tzu's Taoist thinking is too passive, so he has to create his own portal!"

"Does he think he's better than Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu is the number one talent today! ”

"Actually! It's not that he has the idea that he must surpass Lao Tzu, his heart may really be to save the world, right? ”

"Listen to Brother En? Seems to be familiar with Kongqiu? Gongzi Ying suddenly remembered and asked.

Since he is a fellow believer, Fang Jishi has no longer concealed it. said: "It's because of him that I came here!" ”

"Oh? How did Brother En come because of him? Childe asked.

"Alas! It's a long story! Fang Jishi sighed, and roughly said what happened in Lu Country.

"I see?" Gongzi Ying then remembered and said, "No wonder Brother En comes here every day?" Originally! Are you looking at him Kongqiu? It's not far from Kongqiu's house, and he goes out every day right under our noses! ”

"My whole family's life is related to him Kongqiu, can I not watch it? OK! I'm relieved to hear you say that! As long as he doesn't get into trouble, I'll be relieved. ”

"Nothing?" Gongzi Ying shook his head and sighed: "In this troubled world, who can not make trouble? Unless? You live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, otherwise you will be involved in right and wrong! ”

"Listen to my brother? It seems that Conciula is involved in what incident again? Fang Jishi hurriedly asked.

"What else? Alas! ”

"What's the matter?"

"Nanzi, do you know?" Gongzi Ying asked.

"Nanzi?"

"Nanzi! That is, Mrs. Wei! The wife of the father-in-law, a native of the Song Kingdom. You've been in Weidu for a while, haven't you? You should know a few! ”

"I've heard a few!"

"What do you think?" Gongzi Ying looked a little excited, looked at Fang Jishi and asked.

"Be skeptical!" Fang Jishi nodded.

"Skeptical?"

"I think? There is a question of the substance of the matter! But! It's not impossible! Maybe there have been before, right? ……”
