Chapter 65: The Three Saints Society (Subscription Requested!)
"It's here!"
The outline of Xiongguan appeared in his sight, and Sun Wu breathed a sigh of relief slightly, but he did not relax his vigilance.
Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and although they can get out of the customs immediately, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not fall at the last step.
After all, if someone sees their movements, it is the most dangerous to wait for the rabbit in front of the gate.
"Those small country kings are short-sighted, and they won't guard the pass, but it's Jin Qi who is worried, cough cough!"
Wu Zixu's weak voice sounded.
His personal strength was stronger than Sun Wu's, and his injuries were heavier, but there was contempt in his tone.
For these kings who were on one side of the Chu land, he looked down on half of them.
"That's not right!"
However, the next moment, Sun Wu's gaze swept in front of Hangu Pass, his face sank, and he turned around and was about to retreat.
"Slow down!"
The breeze blew, and a burly man in a Confucian robe blocked the way, it was Zilu, the carriage appeared, Kong Qiu opened the curtain and walked down: "Wu Xiangguo, General Sun, polite!"
"Kong Lingyin!"
Sun Wu bowed slightly, Kong Qiu could see their whereabouts, it was not strange, Wu Zixu sneered: "It seems that you are here to avenge the king of Chu, come on, take my head and go to receive the reward!"
"The father is condemned, the son takes revenge, the courtesy, the sincerity of the heavens, what is the crime?"
Kong Qiu shook his head: "However, filial piety knows that there is a relative, loyalty knows that there is a country, and if you hate one person and kill a country, you are not virtuous, I hope that Wu Xiangguo can return to Yingdu and save Chu from danger!"
"Danger?"
Wu Zixu laughed, and his laughter was full of mockery: "You don't care about the changes in the world, the fighting of various countries, you only talk about the so-called benevolence, virtue and filial piety, and bring the Chu State to the land of no return, but now you are inviting me?"
Kong Qiu explained: "Confucianism and Taoism uphold benevolent government, govern the country with courtesy, so that the upper and lower respect and humility have their own dependence, the monarch and the minister father and son are in order, the minister respects the king as a father, and the king loves the people like a son. ”
Wu Zixu sneered.
Kong Qiu knew that he didn't believe it, and said: "Although the king is now ruled by less than a thousand miles, he is united from top to bottom, all of them have the heart of benevolence and virtue, and the idea of strengthening the country.
Wu Zixu was a little moved.
Ling Yin's position, under one person, above ten thousand people, Kong Qiu really said let it?
With his personality, he must not be untargeted, and he is really dedicated to the revitalization of Dachu.
As for the father's enmity, the king of Chu will not let it go, but he will wait until the Great Chu is prosperous and then break it.
Seeing that Wu Zixu was silent, Sun Wu opened his mouth and said: "Your Excellency's fallacy lies in reversing the relationship between morality and government, virtue should be the cultivation of the ruler, but it cannot become the basis for the survival of the political system, let alone the only standard!"
Kong Qiu raised his eyebrows: "I want to hear it!"
"You have cultivated the officials of the Chu State into humble gentlemen, you can't win the war at all, and you can't suppress their greed and selfish desires for a long time, now that the Chu State is in turmoil, those nobles and ministers will inevitably lose the country, everything will be cooperated, and when the old land is recovered, it will inevitably relapse!"
Sun Wudao: "No matter what kind of political theory, if you want to implement it in chaos, it is impossible, if you want to implement it in a country, you must first eradicate dissidents in the country, unify the order, and if you want to implement it in the world, you must unify the regime with strong force, otherwise it will be a flash in the pan!"
If you want to govern a country, you must first level a country!
If you want to rule the world, first level the world!
This is the soldier!
"What the general said is not unreasonable!"
Kong Qiu said: "However, the light of heaven and earth is no greater than the sun and the moon, and the principle of humanity is greater than governing the world.
Sun Wu raised his eyebrows slightly, and became interested: "What you said is not unreasonable......
The two talked about the Confucian road of soldiers, and the more they talked, the more passionate they became, Wu Zixu could still interject a few words at first, and soon he could only go to the side to accompany Zilu.
To put it simply, Confucius must first establish morality, politics and etiquette, convince people with virtue, and restrain people with etiquette, even if fighting is inevitable in the process, at least set the rules to ensure that after victory, the correct fruit is obtained;
Sun Wu firmly believed that there was no gentleman in the war, and he could only win the battle by doing everything, and according to the gentleman's set of benevolence and morality, the generals could not win the battle at all, and the so-called moral politics could not be implemented.
Both make sense.
The so-called system is not perfect in the first place, and it will not exist in the era thousands of years later, and I am afraid that it will not exist in tens of thousands of years.
Kong Qiu and Sun Wu debated fiercely, talking and talking, each drawing his sword and unsheathing it, and confronting each other.
Confucius wanted to prove that the way of a gentleman was upright, and that he could win the battle without any conspiracy;
Sun Wu wanted to prove that the soldier wins with the right and the odd, and the right and the strange are the invincible way to win.
"Sure enough, this is the weather of a saint!"
Two breaths rose to the sky, and the Hangu not far away was closed, Yin Xi was overjoyed, straightened his clothes, and went down to the city tower, to see the two saints in person, please teach.
At this moment, on the official road in the distance, another green cow slowly came.
Above the green ox, there was an old man sitting with white hair and white hair, who was pretending to sleep.
Behind the green ox, there is a beautiful female Taoist, a hundred zhang away, following unhurriedly.
Kong Qiu and Sun Wu fought fiercely, and the civil and military atmosphere stirred up, affecting all directions, but when he was thrown into the old man's side, the water was not happy, and he failed to stir up the slightest ripple.
"Old Dan?"
Kong Qiu put away his sword and stopped fighting, stepped forward to salute, and Sun Wu's eyes also moved.
This old man of the green cow is the founder of Taoism, Lao Tzu.
When he was young, he was the history of Zhou Tianzi's collection room, that is, the official who managed the book collection, so he read a lot of books, and was later excluded by the powerful and was dismissed from his position, traveled to Lu State, and met Confucius, when Confucius was seventeen years old, he greeted Lao Tzu.
Kong Qiu respected Lao Tzu's erudition very much, but Sun Wu was not cold.
He had heard of Lao Tzu's doctrine, which was mysterious and mysterious, and governed by its nature and inaction.
What does it mean to rule by inaction?
To put it bluntly, with the division of family, country, and world, there are all kinds of contradictions caused by it, and today's chaos is unbearable, if you want to solve the problem, you simply don't want a national group, according to the nature of all things, and its light, with its dust, just like the water in the river, without the imposition of manpower to guide, naturally walk.
This is obviously even more unworkable.
"The study of governing the country is huge and profound, and what you and I say, there is no right or wrong......"
When Kong Qiu asked for advice, he and Sun Wu were right and wrong, Lao Tzu opened his eyes, his peaceful eyes were full of perception of all things in heaven and earth, and he smiled: "It's just seeking the Tao!"
Kong Qiu and Sun Wu's eyes moved, and they saluted with their swords: "Hope to advise!"
Lao Tzu bowed his head and took a flat pole from the ox cart at random.
The sword light rose again, and this time there was an extra veteran who never attacked, but was able to calm the civil and military conflicts.
Yin Xi hurriedly arrived, Xiaomeng stopped to watch the battle, in the city of the king of people, the twelve volumes of Tianshu suspended above Gu Cheng's head turned into a streamer, shuttled through the void, and came to the sky above Hangu Pass to participate in this humanitarian event!
