"You didn't recruit anyone to mess with anyone, but you? This assertion of yours is confusing and confuses those who are ignorant to think that your method is feasible! Outcome! Accompany you to 'be self-degraded'. Oh, yes! Imagination is beautifully! As long as we start from ourselves, this society will be beautiful! It seems like that's really the case......"

"What do you say? Same as Lao Tzu said? Confucius interrupted.

"What I said is the same as what the gentleman said? Hey! Fang Jishi laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Maybe? I'm a student of my husband, right? ”

"You? Are you still enlightened? ”

"Ahem! I don't know if it's enlightened! But! This is my understanding of Mr. Taoism! ”

"You? You are not humble at all! ”

"I'm a soldier! I like to go straight! ”

"You?" Confucius still wanted to say, but after thinking about it, he didn't say any more.

He found that he had just behaved badly! It seems to expose his bottom line!

Doesn't that mean: You don't like people talking about you, do you? You're instinctively resistant, aren't you? Do you have?

That's why! The last time Lao Tzu said a few words to me, I instinctively resisted. Outcome! It was unpleasant for both sides.

"That's what you think, hehe! I thought about it carefully and thought that it was okay to become an official! With you sparing no effort to promote the Zhou rites and the Zhou system, it just caters to the requirements of the king and hereditary nobles, eunuchs, and merchants! Oh, yes! The world is Kongqiu! So! This society is easy to manage! You can let them slaughter you......"

"You?" After Confucius said "you", he said flatly: "Do you regard me as an accomplice of those princes, kings, hereditary nobles, eunuchs, and merchants who do not respect Zhou etiquette and do not abide by the Zhou system?" ”

"Yes!" Fang Jishi replied: "I'm afraid? Robbers and thieves are welcome! ”

"You?"

"You think about it, don't you? How nice it would be if robbers and thieves were all in the same way as you? The leaders can have more points, and people like you who speak of righteousness can have fewer points. You kind of people talk about benevolence and righteousness, and I think it's very reasonable to divide a little. Anyway! You all have a reason to soothe yourself ......"

"You're not right!" Confucius stopped: "A person who abides by the Zhou etiquette and the Zhou system, it is impossible for them to steal and become a robber!" The gentleman is poor, and the villain is poor! ”

"Isn't that an analogy? What are you serious? Fang Jishi smiled: "Not seriously! We are the Word! On the way! Hehehe......"

"I already understand the Tao of the gentleman, but! I feel very passive to do it the way the gentleman does. So! Only take the initiative! ……”

"What do you mean by passivity? What is initiative? Fang Jishi interrupted.

"Mr. talks about doing nothing, and Mr. talks about going with the flow! Mr. said that he was selfless and not selfish, and in the end, he still 'became selfish'. So! I just think that Mr.'s Taoism is too passive! Furthermore! Sir didn't take into account real life and didn't think about it clearly......"

"Why hasn't Mr. thought it through?"

"It's still the same sentence! Under the whole world, it is not the king's land! We can't change that! The old system cannot be changed either! But the gentleman didn't think about it! Even if the old system is overthrown, it will not be able to manage society according to Taoism......"

Fang Jishi interrupted: "Sir's Taoism takes into account the real environment!" And! Mr.'s Taoism is not only suitable for the current realistic environment, but also for any social environment! Because! He analyzes the problem from the perspective of people and human nature......"

Confucius ignored Fang Jishi's words and continued: "Sir's Taoism has only been promoted for a few years, not to mention? Sir's Taoism is not easy to understand, I understand, but I can only represent myself, I can't represent others! Can others understand it? It's a problem!

Furthermore! It's not that I, Kong Qiu, said that Mr. Taoism, ordinary people will misunderstand it when they hear it! So! From this point of view, it may be very difficult for Mr. Tao's Taoism to be truly popularized to the whole world!

It is for this reason! I just figured out how to do it! ……”

Fang Jishi planned: "You're not 'you just came up with your method', but! That's what you've always thought......"

"Am I not? Accepted the Taoism of Mr.? Isn't it? Revising my mind? No, no, no! It's my idea! Fixed my thoughts! ”

"So where did you make the correction?"

"Me?" Confucius paused for a moment and said, "I accept Mr.'s Taoist thoughts!" But! I don't accept Mr.'s method of promotion! ”

"That? You? ”

"Me?" Confucius explained: "I also think that in order for society to be cured, it must start with individual people. The combination of people and people is built into society. So! I agree with my husband's Taoism with both hands!

Different means to the same end! The difference between me and my husband is that he starts as an individual and then cures the society. And me! It is to improve one's self-cultivation from the perspective of managing society, self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world! ……”

"You?"

"Could it be? Isn't that the same path? ”

Fang Jishi interrupted: "Sir said! The starting point was wrong, and everything turned out to be wrong! Mr. said! The difference is a millimeter, and the loss is a thousand miles. So! All your efforts have been in vain! ”

"You? In-laws! Eldest brother! Confucius looked at Fang Jishi with some dissatisfaction and said, "Why are you like Lao Tzu, stumbling?" ”

"Am I stumbling? I think you're dead! ”

"Am I stumbling? You said that you and Lao Tzu are dead! Have you considered it? Under the whole world, it is not the king's land! What do you want? Do you really want to rebel? ”

"Said the gentleman! The change of dynasty is the inevitability of history! Before mankind has found the correct guiding ideology, social harmony and people's happiness are only short-lived! ……”

"You're dogmatic with me again! Eldest brother! It's you and me dogma! ”

"Am I dogmatic with you? I? Fang Jishi argued: "It's you who have a dogma with me!" It's you! ”

"You're not dogmatic, aren't you? Eldest brother? Confucius pointed out correctly: "It is inevitable that you will always move 'changing the dynasty' to change the dynasty......

"Sir said it! It's a fact! Where is there a dynasty that does not change? The Great Zhou Dynasty only lasted a few hundred years, and now! Not the same declined. In the face of the long river of history, a few hundred years is considered a hair? Let alone! It doesn't take hundreds of years for people to really live a good life......"

"Facts are facts! But reality is reality! Even if there is a change of dynasty, how many years will it be in ......"

"I see what you mean! You are in a hurry for quick success! Fang Jishi slapped his thigh and said, "Even if you do what you think, you can't do it right away!" ”

"Then if you do what Mr. thinks, it will work immediately?"

"Sir, mean! Let it be! As long as we insist on promoting Taoism, so that more people can understand Taoism and understand life, sooner or later we will change the dynasty! When the time comes, there will be more awakened people, and society will change......"

"Isn't that what I think?" Confucius replied.

"But your idea is always 'a headache and a sore foot', and the quack idea cannot cure social problems. Mr. said! Failure to solve the problem fundamentally is not the best way!

If you have the idea of catering to social management, you will never be able to get rid of the monarchy. You can't get rid of the monarchy, you can't be equal. Even if there is no king, there are still bureaucrats......

So! Even if there is a happy life for human beings, it is only temporary. In the long river of history, it is like a flash in the pan......"
