It was like chatting a few words, and the topic was naturally pulled back to the topic by Tian He again.

"I don't know if His Highness is here today, but why do you want to ask Yu Lao?"

Seeing that Tian He asked about his intention again, Liu Ying groaned slightly, then raised his head with a chuckle.

"The boy came today, and the other is here on behalf of his father to visit his son."

"The two of them are indeed a little confused, and I want to ask Zizhuang Gong to solve their doubts, so as to give advice."

As she spoke, Liu Ying did not forget to get up with a little seriousness and bowed to Tian He.

When Tian He also got up a little frightened and saluted, the two of them sat back in their seats, and saw Liu Ying groaning slightly, and the expression on his face showed a little shame.

"In the autumn of last year, the emperor died, and his father felt that his destiny was impermanent, so he moved to Chang's uncle and grandson to think that he was the emperor."

"Not long after Uncle Sun became the Taifu, Chen Feng rebelled in the Dynasty, Zhao, and his father led the troops to the battle, and entrusted the boy to take the responsibility of supervising the country and repairing the water conservancy."

"With the order of his father, the boy had to take a break from his studies and go to the lotus spoon to see the canal repair; In the winter of November, the canal repair is almost completed, and the winter wax moon is approaching, and the boy turns back to Chang'an. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Ying was a little ashamed on her face, and she looked at Tian He with a little respect in her eyes.

"Since the turn of Chang'an in November, it has been more than two months, and the boys have been taught by Uncle Taifu."

"Some time ago, when I heard the extension of Uncle Sun Taifu's words to Confucianism, and the loss of scriptures and classics due to war, the kid couldn't help but sigh and regret it."

"I also heard Uncle Sun Taifu say: At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the six classics of Confucianism, except for the five of the "Zhou Yi", were awarded to the Qin Prime Minister Li Si and Han Gongzi Fei in the past, and the Beiping Hou Zhang Cang of the Han Dynasty, and the Taizhong doctor Lu Jia and others."

"The kid asked curiously, and Uncle Fang De's grandson Taifu said: Since the time of Zhongni, "Zhou Yi" has been a separate Confucianism, and it has become a school of its own."

"Since Shang Qu De Zhongni gave "Yi", and five times to the present, it has been inherited by Zizhuang Gong."

As she spoke, Liu Ying bowed her hand with respect again.

"Therefore, the boy is here to meet the prince Zhuang Gong in person, so as to see the true face of Zhongni VI's disciple."

As soon as Liu Ying's words came out, although Tian He still didn't dare to say anything, there was obviously a touch of pride on his face.

And when Liu Ying saw this, she also sighed a little in her heart.

This is the reason why Liu Ying didn't dare to have the idea of 'destroying the Changling Tian clan and killing Tian He by the way' after Liu Ying heard that 'Tian He was born in the hometown of Tian He', and only dared to come in person to visit Tian He.

It is also more than ten years ago, the overlord Xiang Yu could only be respectful, and now Liu Bang, the son of heaven, is tired of it, and repeatedly sticks his hot face to Tian He's cold buttocks.

- Tian He, the sixth disciple grandson of Kong Zhongni!

It is true that in today's Han family, which has not yet deposed the hundred schools of thought and respects Confucianism, the signboard of a 'Kong Zhongni' is not so loud.

But the crux of the problem is not 'Tian He is the grandson of Zhong Ni', but Tian He's generation.

According to the memories of Liu Ying's previous life, in about another year, Kong Teng, the eighth grandson of Kong Zhongni, will be enshrined by his father Liu Bang.

The descendants of Confucius were canonized by the Chinese emperors, and it was from this that this was the beginning.

And this is the crux of the matter.

- Kong Teng, a descendant of Confucius who is still alive, is the eighth grandson of Confucius; And Tian He is the sixth disciple of Confucius!

In other words, even Kong Teng, who is the bloodline of Confucius, has to shout respectfully when he sees Tian He!

As for others, that's even less to say.

——When today's son's younger brother, the current king of Chu Liu Jiao, has to call Fu Qiubo a teacher;

Fu Qiubo was also classmates with the late Han Gongzifei, Qin Xiang Li Si, as well as the surviving Zhang Cang, Lu Jia and others, and they also studied under Xunzi.

In other words, Liu Ying's uncle Liu Jiao has to call Xunzi a master.

As the ancestor of Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, what kind of generation is Xunzi?

Seeing Tian He, what should Xunzi be called?

As a rare outlier within Confucianism, and under the tutelage of Song Yu and Song Zi, who was born in Huang Lao, Xunzi's generation within Confucianism is actually not very clear.

But as long as you need to know a little, it is not difficult to guess what kind of generation Xunzi is in front of Tian He.

- Xunzi's teacher Song Yu, the seventh grandson of Confucius, Song Qian, the Wei minister of the Warring States Period, is an equal!

Calculated in this way, Xunzi's generation is probably the same as the eight generations of the Confucian family.

As Xunzi's disciples, Han Fei Li Si, Zhang Cang Lu Jia, and Fu Qiubo and others should be the same as the nine generations of the Kong family.

and then to Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, who was a disciple of Fuqiubo, and even Liu Ying, who was Liu Jiao's nephew······

If you really want to calculate it according to generations, Tian He, the heir of "Zhou Yi" in the world, has to be five generations older than the crown prince Liu Ying, and four generations older than Liu Bangdu, the son of heaven!

In this way, the current crown prince Liu Ying and even the son of heaven Liu Bang, and even the former overlord Xiang Yu and the first emperor Yingzheng, are all respectful to Tian He, the sixth grandson of Confucius, which is inevitable.

——In today's academic and public opinion circles, people are the figures of the 'ancestors'!

Even regardless of people's academic status, in terms of seniority, Tian He is also recognized as an 'old man' today.

Even if you don't consider 'respecting the virtuous', just out of the consideration of 'respecting the elderly', the first emperor Yingzheng decades ago, the overlord Xiang Yu more than ten years ago, and even the current son of heaven Liu Bang, must also give Tian He enough respect and preferential treatment.

And in front of such an old man, even if he is the crown prince, even if Tian He's clan commits a heinous crime, Liu Ying can only be cautious, tempting and discussing.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Ying finally pulled back her scattered thoughts and smiled at Tian He.

"In the past two months, the uncle and grandson Taifu mostly talked to the boy in Xunzi's words, and the boy was very surprised to hear it."

"The boy asked the Taifu, and the Taifu refused to say that he 'didn't dare to discuss'; the boy wanted to ask the Marquis of Beiping and the doctor Taizhong, and he read that these two people were disciples of Xunzi, and there was no reason to discuss the teacher."

"Therefore, the boy came today, and he also intended to ask Zizhuang Gong in person."

"——I don't know what Xunzi's 'sexual evil' theory, what does Zizhuang Gong think?"

asked with a puzzled face, Liu Ying did not forget to make a look of eagerness, waiting for Tian He's answer.

Hearing Liu Ying's question, the gentle smile that Tian He had been hanging on the corner of his mouth was also frozen on his face like a statue in the blink of an eye.

As an outlier of Confucianism in the previous year, Xunzi's most representative remarks are undoubtedly the theory of sexual evil.

Different from Confucius's firm belief that 'at the beginning of man, nature is good', Xunzi's view of human nature is 'original and simple'.

To put it more colloquially: at the beginning of human nature, it should be a blank sheet of paper, neither good nor bad; After the influence of the day after tomorrow, it is possible to get better or worse.

The word 'temperament' that is often said in later generations is also derived from Xunzi's view of human nature: the sexuality is the nature of the heavens, and the lover is the nature of sex.

But after hearing Liu Ying ask the question 'Xunzi said that sex is evil, what does Zizhuang Gong think', Tian He's attention was obviously not on the question itself.

"Sexual Evil Theory ······"

"The prince asked this question, could it be ······"

Thinking about it secretly, Tian He couldn't help but look a little pale, and gave his own reply with a shallow taste.

"The good and evil of human nature have been divided for hundreds of years."

Meng Ke once said: The goodness of human nature is also like water. There is nothing wrong with people, and there is nothing wrong with water. ”

"Xun Qing also said: The life of a person is also a villain, and the attachment of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and wisdom are all acquired by learning and self-cultivation."

Speaking of this, Tian He couldn't help but pause for a moment, and looked at Liu Ying's expression thoughtfully.

In the end, he chuckled and lowered his head, and continued: "As for old age, I dare not make a definitive conclusion on the good and evil of human nature. ”

"However, "Yi" cloud: worldly people like others to be the same as themselves, and the wicked people are different from themselves."

"There is no greater evil than not being satisfied, and no greater fault than desire; Therefore, contentment is always sufficient. ”

"Therefore, the old man thinks that people's happiness comes from contentment, and this so-called contentment is always happy, and ignorance is always worried."

Seeing Liu Ying's expression of approval, Tian He's heart calmed down for a while, and continued: "Xun Qing also said: The way of heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death. ”

"This is also the reason why Your Majesty started from the grass and finally won the heart of the world······"

Hearing Tian He's seemingly insipid but actually hidden analysis, Liu Ying was amazed in her heart, and she couldn't help clapping her hands again and again.

"Color!"

"What Zizhuang Gong said can be said to be a collection of hundreds of years, and the words of all sons and hundreds of schools of thought are the culmination of 'human nature'!"

"As the so-called contentment and happiness and insatiable greed, there will be a great calamity because of their own greed!"

Speaking with joy on her face, Liu Ying looked at Tian He with a faint sense of strength in her eyes.

"That being the case, the kid still has a question, and I want to ask Zi Zhuang Gong for a little explanation."

"The nature of man, whether good or evil in his nature, should have nothing to do with his origin."

"Meng Ke's book "Born in Sorrow, Died in Peace", said: Heaven will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they cannot."

"In this way, Fu Shuo, Jiao Wei, Guan Yiwu, Sun Shuao, Baili Xi and others are afraid of cold, and they are known in the world as virtuous, which should be tempered by God's hard work, and have nothing to do with friends and relatives."

"That is, the sages of Fu Shuo, Jiao Wei, Guan Yiwu, Sun Shuao, Baili Xi and others are tempered by hard work, and they have nothing to do with relatives and friends, why does Qin Fa have the system of "Lian Sitting"?"

"How can a person break the law and say that the clan sits to death?"

Speaking of this, Liu Ying's face was faintly filled with some deep meaning.

"Zizhuang Gong thinks that if a person breaks the law with his body, he should sin against himself, or should he sin against his clan and neighbors?"

"And if his sin is unforgivable, what should be done with the three tribes, according to the way of the holy king?"

"Furthermore: If there is a clan whose noble birth is fading and then declining, and does not hesitate to turn the wheel of merchants and the like, and ruin the people of the world, should he be forgiven for his nobility, or punished for his sins?"
