Chapter 226: Continue to sit and talk
King Zhou Jing saw Ji Chao asking Lao Tzu this question, and his heart became unhappy again.
From Ji Chao's questioning, he could hear that his son was full of malice.
It's hard to answer this question. If you don't pay attention, you may be caught by someone and deduct you from "rebellion" or dissatisfaction with the Zhou Dynasty and the Son of Heaven, or some other crime. There is only one crime, and it is enough for you.
He still wants to cure Lao Tzu's sins!
It's just that! His way of cleaning up people is more secretive, not so naked, naked, naked, and 1.
But! King Zhou Jing's heart still counts, Ji Dynasty's opponent is none other than Lao Tzu! It is known as the most learned Lao Tzu Li Er in the world of the Great Zhou today.
Before Lao Tzu Li Er preached, although he did not have much contact with the outside world and was dedicated to being his Tibetan guard, his knowledge was still famous all over the world.
As an otaku, how did Lao Tzu's fame spread?
In fact! His fame generally spread through those who came to borrow books.
These people who come to borrow books from the Zhou Library are generally people who are famous or interested in learning. Not only do they borrow books, but they also sometimes ask Lao Tzu for advice. Outcome! There is no Lao Tzu who can't answer. Therefore! Lao Tzu's fame spread through these people.
Later, Lao Tzu became famous for spreading Taoist teachings, allowing his fame to spread more widely. Not only did the people of the Great Zhou world know it at that time, but more than 2,000 years later, they all knew his Laozi. Quite a few foreigners know about him all over the planet.
Unafraid! There is no question that Lao Tzu can't answer.
Lao Tzu shook his head, with a wry smile on his face, and replied, "Things are constantly changing, and nothing is set in stone. It is said that the weekly system and weekly rites are also constantly changing, and they are not static. The change of the weekly system and the weekly rites is to change with the change of the social environment. Other words! It varies depending on the situation.
Weekly system and weekly rites are needed! Lear did not say that he wanted to abolish the Zhou system and the Zhou rites, so! There was no suspicion and dissatisfaction with the Zhou system and Zhou Li, let alone dissatisfaction with the Son of Heaven. Opposite! Lear's preaching began with the Lord's grace.
Li Er knew that he had not studied Taoist theories enough, so he did not dare to publicize them easily. It was because of a coincidence that my Taoist theory was passed on and received the attention of the Lord, so that it was made public. Li Er didn't deliberately want to reveal it, but unintentionally. The Lord knew this, and Lear did not do it deliberately.
As for breaking an old world and building a new one?
This one? How so? This is what you say, prince! In fact! This sentence can also be understood in this way! There is nothing wrong with us changing the status quo, changing the bad phenomena in contemporary society, eliminating the old and welcoming the new, and building a brand-new social environment.
If the prince understands that he wants to overthrow the lord's world, overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty, and establish a new world, then that is also the prince's idea, right? That was definitely not what Lear had in mind. Lear did not have the idea, nor did he have the conditions to complete it.
As for why we should follow the way of heaven and nature, why not promote and revitalize the weekly system and weekly rituals? Lear thinks! Imitation of the way of heaven and nature do not conflict with the promotion, revitalization of the weekly system, and weekly rituals, and are complementary to each other.
Li Er now clearly told the prince that Li Er did not necessarily follow the way of heaven and nature and crowd out the Zhou system and Zhou etiquette. No! Lear didn't! Lear felt that the two were mutually reinforcing. As for what the prince just said? Did you hear about it? Or the prince's speculation......"
Lao Tzu was reasonable, not only answering the question of the prince Ji dynasty, but also exposing the traps in the words of the prince and the Ji dynasty. Other than that! also took advantage of the situation and skillfully came to a Tai Chi pusher, pushing the prince Ji Chao to the cusp. Meaning: It's not that I want to go against the trend, oppose the Zhou system, and Zhou Li, but you deliberately frame me, all these thoughts are your thoughts, right?
Prince Ji Chao was still a little proud for a while, thinking that he could put Lao Tzu in, and then he entangled himself. Outcome! The wolf did not catch it, but was almost bitten by the wolf.
King Zhou Jing saw that Lao Tzu answered the question skillfully, and in turn trapped the prince Ji Chao, he snickered in his heart, but his face was impassive, and his eyes looked at his son.
Fang Jishi listened to Lao Tzu's answer and breathed a long sigh of relief. It turns out that all your worries are superfluous. Who are they? He was a pre-Qin wise man, and all of us were somewhat influenced by his old man.
The crown prince suddenly saw that the prince was deflated, and couldn't help but be proud.
When they were teenagers, most teenagers were like this: they were happy to be in shape.
Seeing that the prince's brother was revealing his stuffing again, the little prince Ji Ruan glared at him several times in a hurry. Outcome! I don't know if the prince's brother saw it or if he understood it himself, and gradually reined in.
The people on the square saw that Prince Ji Chao was trapped, and they all looked very happy.
Opposite! The people on the defense side saw that the prince Ji Chao was deflated, and one by one they were anxious for the prince Ji Chao, and at the same time they hated Lao Tzu in their hearts.
You white-haired old monster! How can you not die? Why wasn't he killed by a dark arrow?
I wish you to go out tomorrow and be hit by a carriage and killed by a dark arrow! I wish you a good death!
Prince Ji Chao's face changed at first, and he was a little unacceptable. But! Soon to return to nature.
Seeing that Lao Tzu finished speaking, Prince Ji Chao smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lao Tzu, for your answer, Ji Chao has been taught." So! Ji Chao still has to ask? How can we emulate heaven and earth and nature? How can emulating nature be combined with governing society? What about combining it with the weekly system and weekly rites? ”
"To imitate the way of heaven and nature does not require us human beings to copy everything. But! Learn the spirit of living in the world. Because! People are people, things are things! It is impossible for man to completely imitate all things or live as cattle and horses. This! Don't get confused.
Human beings should emulate the spirit of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and all things! What spirit?
That's selflessness! If you don't take credit, you will naturally succeed! Take the sun, for example! The sun is selfless, rising early and setting late, illuminating the earth, and everything grows on the sun. What is the sun picture? So! We want to follow the example of the sun! Be selfless!
Take the moon, for example! It brightens the earth at night, so that humanity will not be in boundless darkness, right? What does the moon mean? It is equally selfless. So! We want to follow the moon! Be selfless!
And then there are all things, such as grains, trees, and so on, what do they want? Grains, for example, grow, mature, and eventually give to humans as food. What does it mean? Isn't it? So! We are to emulate the selflessness of all things like grains and trees! No fame, no profit, no credit......"
"Wait! Wait a minute! Prince Ji Chao interrupted: "How is it possible? We are people! Sir, you just said that! We are people! How can we possibly emulate the sun, moon, grains, and trees? We are selfless, how can we live? What are we trying to do? You take us for fools? Isn't it? Mr. Lao Tzu? ”
"The reason why a saint is a saint! It's because they're selfless! Why does the Sun Moon become the Sun Moon? It's because they're selfless! Because of their selflessness, they have achieved their good reputation. So! We are to imitate the sun, the moon, the grain, the trees, the sages and saints......"
"I think! Not many people will abide by this kind of proposition of yours! Because! We want to survive! We want to live, and we can do whatever it takes! Isn't it? Prince Ji Chao objected.
