Chapter 464: Reasoning with the Tao (Part II)
"Oh?" Ye Qingxuan was not surprised at all when he heard Kong Ran say this, but he just shook his head lightly again, and a smile appeared on his face, "In this way, the science of laymen is only humanitarian! No wonder he has this opinion!"
Kong Ran saw that Ye Qingxuan shook his head in disbelief, and shook his head solemnly, and then said in a deep voice, "Dao Chief, don't be busy denying it first, and listen to it!"
Speaking of this, Kong Ran's voice paused, and then he continued to say in a deep voice, "The person who Ran said is not an extraordinary person, but a human emperor!"
As soon as these words fell, Kong Ran's original half-seat body suddenly stood upright, and then in the direction of the Dajin royal viewing platform, he shook his hand and bowed, and then said, "The name of the human emperor has existed since ancient times, but it is often heard that in ancient times, there were three emperors ruling the world, among which the emperor was in charge of the sky, and the emperor of the earth was in charge of the earth, and among them, the emperor was the most respectful, ruling everything in the world!"
Yes, heaven and earth are naturally not as noble as the human emperor, and the human emperor has the constitution of heaven in his mouth, and he follows the law, so what is wrong with such a natural law to the human emperor?"
As soon as Kong Ran's words came out, the students who worshiped science in the Jixia School Palace suddenly burst into a shocking cheer.
In their eyes, the sacredness in their eyes is to say what they want to say most in their hearts, and the ancient emperors ruled the world, which is the object of the most longing in the hearts of these students who worship science.
At this time, Kong Ran said that the human emperor was the most respectful, and even the natural avenue in Ye Qingxuan's mouth had to be governed by the human emperor, how could he not let them cheer!
After all, when they first heard Ye Qingxuan's Four Methods, although these students were not very good on the surface, they were all extremely admired in their hearts, but after admiring them, they fell into a deep panic again, "If it is the natural avenue, it is the end, then where should they go from science?"
At this time, Kong Ran put the answer naked in front of their eyes!
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Ye Qingxuan heard Kong Ran's words, and immediately shook his head and laughed, and then said with a Taoist name, "Layman, if it is really according to what you say, the human emperor is the heavenly principle, and it is everything, so what other ways do we cultivate, what kind of knowledge do we have, and what martial arts do we practice? Wouldn't it be better to bow directly to the feet of the human emperor and then be his marionette?"
In this way, the rule of the world is self-evident, but the layman might as well think about it, what is the rule of the emperor recorded in the Confucian classics?"
Kong Ran was stunned for a moment, Ye Qingxuan said his science from such a strange and mysterious angle, but he couldn't help but be stunned, and when he was about to refute it, he heard Ye Qingxuan open his mouth and say, "Poor Taoism is often heard, in ancient times, hundreds of schools of thought contended, and the people's wisdom was opened, how could it have been as the layman said?"
On the contrary, after the abdication of the emperors of previous generations, since the Xia Shang Dynasty, the wisdom of the people has been cut off, and only those who are on the throne are followed, and it is the wind of the ancients that is no longer there, I don't know what the poor Tao said, but the facts?"
Kong Ran heard this, silently, looking at the ancient rule of the world recorded in the Confucian classics, it is just as Ye Qingxuan said, but how can all this come out of the mouth of this Taoist priest, how does it sound as if as long as his science is prosperous and assists the emperor, it is only Xia Shang who can reproduce, but it is not the ancient world?
However, Kong Ran was deeply aware of the essence of science, that is, he was angry in his heart, and he was still able to restrain himself, only to see him flick his sleeves and then say, "The Taoist chief said this, but it is a bit nonsense, but when did he say that all the people in the world want to become the puppets of the human emperor?"
However, the essence of science is to respect the emperor, to the emperor as an example for all the people in the world, if everyone obeys the emperor's orders, learn the virtue of the emperor, so why worry about the world is not prosperous, the ancient prosperity is gone?"
"Good!" Ye Qingxuan nodded lightly when he heard this, and then said, "In this way, all the people in the world take the emperor as an example, if the emperor is right, the world is right, and if the emperor is not right, the world will collapse!"
"No, no!" Kong Ran shook his head solemnly when he heard this, and then argued, "If everyone in the world learns my science, and the outline of my science is often constrained, so ......"
In this way, no matter Confucianism, Dharma, Taoism, or Buddha, apart from science, what kind of knowledge can exist in the world!?" Ye Qingxuan heard this, and immediately interrupted Kong Ran, and then continued: "The ancient emperors ruled the world, and the reason why they became the rulers of the world is really because of the great opening of the people's wisdom and the contence of a hundred schools.
The master might as well imagine that if there was only one kind of learning in the world at that time, wouldn't all the people be like puppets, although the appearance is different at a glance, but the inside is the same.
Could it be that imprisoning people's hearts with the so-called outline is the essence of the master's science?"
Speaking of this, Ye Qingxuan sighed softly, and then said as if with emotion, "My Taoist sage, I really don't deceive me, the sage once said, the saint does not die, the thief is not stopped, and it is so!"
The people's minds are often imprisoned by the people's program, and such learning really imprisons the people's wisdom, making people lose their imagination and freedom, and how is it different from a puppet to live like this?"
"Bastard!" Kong Ran heard that his science was said like this by Ye Qingxuan, and he was immediately angry in his heart, only to see him stand up angrily, and then flicked his sleeves, pointed at Ye Qingxuan and said, "Dao Elder is so sophistry, isn't it too much?"
If it is really as the Taoist chief said, there is no program to educate the world, then life in the world, disloyalty, filial piety, unkindness and injustice, how is it different from animals?"
"Good!" Ye Qingxuan nodded when he heard this, and then said lightly, "Have you ever seen a crow?
From the point of view of the poor road, the crow is born as an animal, that is, it knows how to feed, so this is naturally the nature of animals, and life should be like this in the world.
The so-called loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are just artificial, an explanation imposed on a certain behavior, all of which is just nature, and the crow feeds back, how can it be called filial piety?"
Ye Qingxuan's words, although his voice was not loud, he was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it in his heart, and wanted to open his mouth to refute, but he couldn't find anything to say for a while.
Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan nodded lightly, and then continued, "Since loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are only artificially defined, in this way, how can the person who defines this benevolence and filial piety be proud of this?
Hearing this, Kong Ran's originally solemn face suddenly darkened a little, but he still said solemnly, "In this case, everyone is born as a moral saint, where does such a wicked person come from?"
When Ye Qingxuan heard this, he shook his head with a smile and then said, "Life in the world is like a blank piece of paper, and it is natural for a child to be a baby, but it grows with life, and it has no external influence, it is divided into good and evil.
In this way, it is necessary to cultivate the Tao and do learning, and if you are a person who is high in Taoism and profound in learning, you will naturally be able to always maintain a pure heart.
However, such a realm, but not everyone can achieve it, is to be poor and often heard, in ancient times there were great sages and great Confucians, so that with benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, loyalty, filial piety, honesty and courage, and so on to restrain their own behavior, so that their minds are pure, inner and outer kings, and then you can see saints.
However, these great sages are all self-disciplined first, and then educate the people, but even so, the great sages still dare not talk about the world with the outline, because in ancient times, there can be such a rule of the world!"
