"This?" Confucius was dumbfounded.

He also conducted in-depth research on Lao Tzu's Taoism, and also knew that people, like all things, are for survival. It's all about surviving, living for the sake of living.

Why is this so: all things are simply to live?

In fact! Why are all things greedy for life and afraid of death, just for the sake of living? It's because! None of us can decide our own lives.

What if you knew that being alive was a pain? If we have the right to choose, we may not choose to be born, we may not choose to come into this world. Or! We choose another kind of life. For example! We can choose to make things, animals, plants......

But! We don't have the right to choose, so we came in a daze and became human beings. So! Ever since human beings have had intelligence, the wise men have thought: since we can't choose the arrival of life, we should live well!

Maybe? This is the task and mission that God has given us to live.

So! Taoism believes that man and everything are the same: just a life process.

Therefore! Survival becomes the primary task and purpose of Taoism! To live, that is, to live. Alive! To live well has become the primary task and purpose of Taoism!

It's that simple! What kind of ideal? Wish? Get out of the way. If you can live in this world, and live freely, and live to the end of your life, you are a great person!

So! All factors that affect our survival, we must exclude! Anyone who affects our survival is our enemy! This includes our parents, elders, siblings, and future generations.

Of course! This is also a premise! The premise is that we do not affect the survival of other people and all things. I don't affect you, and you don't influence me. If I don't affect you, but you affect me, then! We are the enemy. This includes our parents, elders, siblings, and future generations.

Our parents and elders gave us the source of life, raised us, and made us adults. So! We want to give back to them, take care of them in their old age, and give them their old age.

If your parents and elders think that they have given you life and raised your childhood, and they use it as a blessing, they are thinking wrong. As parents and elders, when they are still able to support themselves, they should take care of themselves, do not cause trouble to their children and offspring, and do not enjoy the blessings of their children and grandchildren.

Giving birth to offspring is to take care of your old age, to take care of your life when you can't take care of yourself, not for enjoyment and exploitation.

If your parents and elders have given you life, raised your childhood, and used it as a blessing, then! Taoists think: they are our enemies! Because! They have seriously affected our lives. Considering that they have given us life, we can give them basic living expenses. If there is more, try to give as many conditions as possible to ensure that you can survive. And then! Choose to ignore it.

Because! I also want to survive, I can't survive anymore, how can I support you? Is it okay to bully others and bully their children and offspring?

Parents, elders, brothers and sisters, children and grandchildren, you can't kill chickens for eggs, right?

Back then! Parents and elders are not using us to enjoy life, or exploiting us, but because of the environment or illness, they need to be taken care of by their children, and the children and future generations must do their best to depend on each other.

And also! The exploiting class of this world, you can't kill chickens and take eggs, right?

You will only have a chance to exploit if you give others a chance to survive. Killing chickens and taking eggs will only bring about their own destruction.

In fact! Confucianism is ostensibly benevolent, righteous and moral, but in the end, the result is the same: it adopts the method of ignoring it. Because! They are human beings, too, and they have to survive. In the society ruled by Confucianism in later generations, it was obviously unfilial, but on the surface it was very filial, but in fact, I don't know how to abuse it behind the scenes.

Because! This is the instinct of human nature! This is the reality, the real face of life.

Others don't care about your life or death, why do you care about this and that? Isn't it?

So! All factors that affect our survival, we must exclude! Anyone who affects our survival is our enemy! This includes our parents, elders, siblings, and future generations.

How did Confucius affect Fang Zhong's survival?

Under Fang Jishi's interpretation, Confucius basically understood. Because! Fang Zhong was a hereditary nobleman. No! Fang Zhong's descendants were hereditary nobles. Fang Zhong joined the Ji family, and his descendants were surnamed Ji. So! His descendants can inherit the title.

Furthermore! After Fang Zhong joined the Ji family, he received a large number of rewards, and with these rewards, he and his descendants could live a noble life.

So! Fang Zhong and his descendants were all nobles.

The ultimate goal of Confucius's set of ideas is to weaken the rights and interests of hereditary nobles, abolish the hereditary title system of hereditary nobles, and "learn and excel in the world", so that commoners can live a good life.

Imagine? Commoners and slaves lived a good life, but did the good life of the hereditary aristocracy come to an end? Without the unpaid dedication of commoners and slaves, where would the luxurious life of kings and hereditary nobles come from?

Without the unpaid contributions of commoners and slaves, where would the kings and hereditary nobles come from for nothing?

Without the gratuitous sacrifices of commoners and slaves, and the taxes paid by all walks of life, where would the king have a source of enjoyment? Who will feed the hereditary nobility and state administrators?

Without the people's labor creation, without labor, where does wealth come from? Where does the material basis come from? Everyone in the world is a leader and manager, so? Who is the leader and the manager? Everyone else is a fool? Are you smarter than others, and others need you to manage and lead?

Why did Confucius fall into the three capitals?

Could it really be: the walls of Sandu are higher than the regulations and violate the Zhou etiquette? That's just the appearance! Behind the violation of Zhou etiquette is the truth. Saying that you violated Zhou etiquette is just a reason. And the real purpose is to weaken your ability to protect yourself.

When the walls are low, the ability to protect them is reduced. The city is smaller, and the walls are low, your protection ability is reduced, and you can't fight against the Great Zhou Dynasty. You will lose the ability to protect yourself, and you will have to do whatever the Son of Heaven wants you to do in the future! Otherwise! The Son of Heaven will send troops to destroy you. Or! Send troops to clean you up and punish you.

The Great Zhou Dynasty stipulated the height of the city walls and the size of the city for this purpose.

The purpose of Confucius's fall to the three capitals was the same, to consolidate and strengthen the power of the monarch and weaken the ability of the three huans to protect themselves. And then! Gradually, the power of Sanhuan was weakened, so that the king of Lu State fully controlled the monarchy, and in the future, the government came out of the family, and the king said the number to facilitate governance.

Actually, it's the same: these are all ostensible purposes, all for the king. The purpose behind it is to promote his doctrine and ideas, and to manage society in his own way.

And what is the end result?

It was only after using his Confucian doctrine and ideas that the world became peaceful. Other words! He Confucius is the savior!

And what is the end result?

Kong Qiu is the son of heaven!

Son of Heaven! That is, the Son of Heaven!

So far! Confucius's purpose arises:

Your ultimate goal of Confucius: anti! Become a king! Become the Son of Heaven!

Do you say you're a thinker?

You are a true careerist!

Of course! As Lao Tzu said: the ideology of society is not so easy to change all at once. Confucius was not so ignorant, he could change society at once, make the world peaceful, and he did not have the idea of the Son of Heaven. He just wanted to use Lu Guo as a test field and conduct experiments.

But the result of his doing so was that it seriously affected the life and survival of the hereditary aristocracy.

Ji Huanzi and the others didn't understand it for a while, thinking that after the fall of the three capitals, the city wall was short, and the retainers would not be able to rebel against the city.

But they didn't think that it was not because the city walls were high and the private cities were big that the retainers rebelled. But! Improper employment, excessive power of the retainers, and inadequate management caused the retainers to rebel against the city. They didn't expect to be fooled by Confucius. The purpose of Confucius's fall into the Three Capitals was to weaken their ability to protect themselves.

Others are stupid, but Fang Zhong is not! He saw Confucius's "sinister" intentions. So! He stood up against it. But! Others have little power and are light, and they can't fight against Confucius, who is already a coward. So! He had to do whatever it takes.
