Chapter 149: The son surnamed Li
Although Taoism talks about equality, Taoism is also deeply influenced by Confucianism, and many people in Taoism are still Confucianism in their bones, monarchs and ministers, fathers, fathers and sons. Find a father who is strong enough, and then turn someone who is not as good as himself into a son or grandson.
This kind of thinking has even infiltrated the habits of life. For example, if someone admires someone very much, others can't get used to it, so they call him someone's "filial son". What's more, some people praise someone to the extreme, and call someone their father. Even scolding revolves around this set of ethics, and in the final analysis, it is nothing more than a question of who is the father of whom.
To put it further, the attitude of the Central Plains Dynasty towards the surrounding vassals is also the same, so the people of the Central Plains like to regard many vassal states as the sons and grandsons of the Central Plains Dynasty, and quickly get great satisfaction and pleasure from it, because this kind of pleasure because of the confusion of the common generations has been deeply rooted in its bones, and even everyone has a scale in their hearts to weigh the ethical gains and losses, which cannot be erased.
Whether it is the Holy Court in the West or the Taoism in the East, they are still stuck in their thoughts, but the doctrine of Confucianism has been soaked into the bone marrow and turned into words and deeds, and even the people of the Central Plains do not realize that what they do and think has been completely Confucianized.
Zhang Yuelu was born in a Taoist family, and what he learned was mainly Taoist classics, not Confucian classics, so the impact was far less than that of ordinary people, and he questioned Confucianism a long time ago.
She likes the principles of Confucianism very much, and it is extremely good to be a person, and she has nothing to disapprove of. I also have to admit that at a certain historical stage, Confucianism is indeed extremely advanced, but if the Confucianism system is still used to govern the world, it will be very anachronistic.
A Taoist patriarch once said that there is only one half-saint in the world, one saint is the Taishang Dao Ancestor, and half a saint is the most holy teacher. Taishang Daozu has "Tao Theory" and "Moral Theory", collectively known as the five thousand words of morality, both the view of the world and the view of the universe, and the universe of the world together to build a complete world. The Holy Prophet only has the view of the world, not the universe. Therefore, thousands of years later, the ideas and concepts of Taishang Daozu still shine in the world, but Confucianism is constantly criticized.
From this point of view, Confucianism is quite congenitally insufficient.
Confucianism regards the world as a family, and regards state affairs as a family affair, in a family, the most important thing is not right or wrong, but harmony and stability. However, the self-cultivation of Confucianism advocates being an upright gentleman, and the concept of self-cultivation conflicts with the concept of governing the country, and the final result is to force everyone to be a hypocrite, which is called the downward trend of the people.
Because of this, the voice of Confucianization within the Daomen has never stopped, and Confucianism has also realized its own problems, although there are Xun Qing and Yasheng continue to mend the seams, but after the sage of science has thoroughly Confucianized Confucianism, Tianli is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the barriers of etiquette and religion are high, which is irretrievable, even if there are later sages of Xinxue who came out of nowhere, put forward the concept of the integration of the three religions, liberate people's hearts, and want to carry out an unprecedented change in Confucianism and reshape a new Confucianism, but in the end, because the internal resistance is too great, The school of science is deeply entrenched, but it still ends without a problem.
In other words, Confucianism is not static, but constantly updated and iterative, absorbing the concepts of Legalism, Taoism, and even some Buddhist concepts, so that the school of Xinxue can logically put forward the unity of the three religions. In a sense, Confucianism has indeed degenerated, and Confucianism has long since died in the pile of old papers, just like the old enemies of the Mohists.
Of course, the same is true of Taoism, today's Taoism is also the Taoism after the integration of the three religions, and even the Taoism is more miscellaneous, in addition to Buddhism, Confucianism, Legalism, but also absorbed the Mohists, Yin and Yang, farmers, etc., because of the miscellaneous Taoism, the internal resistance is not large, and finally succeeded, which is also the voice of the integration of the three religions has always been the mainstream of the Taoism.
After the failure of the Xinxue faction to save the day, the untimely Confucianism could only retreat and hand over the world to others.
In other words, the integration of the three religions is the trend of the times, and the dispute between Taoism and Confucianism and Taoism and Buddhism is still a question of who is the main one at the root, and there is also a lot of meaning about who is the father, so this idea of ethical dignity and inferiority can not be completely eliminated, and it will be passed on from generation to generation.
Zhang Yuelu understands this truth, so she does not oppose the existence of Confucianism, but only opposes Confucianism governing the world.
Confucianism is about respecting the order of inferiority and inferiority, and asking for advice from people whose status is inferior to oneself is to "ask questions", which is the difference between superior and inferior. It is precisely because of the "difference" that it is a shame to "ask", and how can a person who is standing ask a person who is kneeling? Therefore, "not ashamed to ask" has become a virtue.
Taoism is about equality, since it is equality, then there is no distinction between asking questions and asking questions, what does it have to do with shame? Since it doesn't matter, there is naturally no such thing as "shameless".
These Confucian disciples dared to come to Zhang Yuelu's trouble, naturally they had some real talents, and they had also studied the debate between Zhang Yuelu and Qin Lingge, where could they not hear the allusion in Zhang Yuelu's words, and someone immediately retorted: "Now that the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, who in the world does not regard His Majesty the Emperor as a father?" Fathers and courtiers, how can they not distinguish between superior and inferior? Will the son still be oppressed against the father? ”
Zhang Yuelu said with a smile: "Father, father, you must recognize a father before you are willing, and if you recognize your father, you can use loyalty and filial piety to oppress people." Let me ask, my surname is Zhang, and His Majesty the Emperor's surname is Qin, how did I become my father? If His Majesty the Emperor is really my father, or even the father of the people of the world, why is someone a princess, but I can't be a princess? Why do some people eat fine clothes, while some people wear the clothes of cows and horses, and eat the food of pigs and dogs? The same children, what is the reason? You're about to say that thunder and rain are not God's grace again, yes or no? ”
Confucian Sheng's face turned red, and he didn't know how to refute, so he could only say loudly: "Great rebellion, great rebellion!" ”
The smile on Zhang Yuelu's face suddenly closed, and he said coldly: "I don't know that my Dao disciple only knows that there is a 'Purple Great True Person who is in charge of Yin and Yang Gong', but I don't know that there is a Holy Son of Heaven. ”
The face of one of the people who was watching from a distance changed slightly, and he sighed: "These people who have read the books of the sages are not good at using their hands or moving their mouths. ”
The attendant next to him quipped: "You can't blame them for being too wasteful." ”
This person's face sank: "Why aren't they too wasteful?" ”
The entourage smiled flatteringly: "The Great Sage Ancestor didn't look down on the Confucian master back then, they read the books of Confucianism, and Zhang Yuelu read the books of the Great Sage Ancestor, how can they argue with Zhang Yuelu?" This is one of them. Calling the emperor a great true person instead of the Son of Heaven was the decision of the Holy Ancestor back then, which shows that the Holy Ancestor was far-sighted. From these two points, it can be seen that it was not this group of people who lost to Zhang Yuelu, but Confucianism who lost to the ancestors of my Li family. ”
This person's face turned from gloomy to clear, and he said with great joy: "Good slave, you can speak." ”
Taishang Taoist ancestor surname Li, Xuansheng also surname Li, Li family has always claimed to be the descendant of Taishang, the descendant of Xuansheng, called Taishang Taoist ancestor the great sage ancestor, called Xuansheng as the holy ancestor, whether from the beginning, or from the middle of the Taoist sect, they are all descendants of the saint, so there have always been people within the Li family who regard the Taoist gate as their own private property, and regard the Taoist doctrine as a family's private learning.
Then the identities of these two people are already self-explanatory.
On the other side, another Confucian said: "Xun Qingyun: 'Obey the father from righteousness, and never obey the king. Ya Shengyun: "The people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the king is light." The shackles you are talking about are not Confucianism itself, but that you can only see the metaphysical, and only then can you not see the metaphysical, and you dare to blaspheme the classics without investigating the true meaning and clinging to the surface. ”
Zhang Yuelu said calmly: "I don't judge whether these two sages are right or wrong, I only say the word 'equality', there is inevitably a difference between the top and bottom, but the master and slave should not be forcibly divided." Do you know how to write the word 'minister' in the oracle bone inscription? Bow down, like a vertical eye, dare not look directly, the original meaning is a slave, the official is not the slave of the monarch? The so-called monarch and minister, master and slave. Isn't loyalty to the master to be loyal to the master? Why elevate it to the level of morality? This is the rule of your Confucian family, and if you are willing to be a slave, that is also your business. ”
"There are only people in my Daomen, people are up and down, nothing more than real people and laypeople, but they are all people after all, there is no emperor, only those who ascend to the immortal can add the word 'king', but no one calls himself a slave. I don't want to be a slave, and I don't want to recognize others as my father, so why did I become a kingless and fatherless? Just because of the so-called 'no king and no father', why did he abandon the country and abandon his family? Are kings and kingdoms one and the same? Is acknowledgment of the Father the same as starting a family? ”
The Confucian scholars all changed color.
Zhang Yuelu shouted coldly: "That's all I have to say, get out of the way!" ”
The Confucian scholars did not retreat.
Zhang Yuelu was no longer polite, and the phaseless paper turned into a three-foot short stick and went straight forward.
The Confucian people are like a great enemy.
Zhang Yuelu's footsteps became faster and faster, and he instantly swept past the first Confucian student, and the paper stick in his hand also hit the Confucian student's knee hard, causing him to fall to the ground on one knee.
This Confucian student didn't even see how Zhang Yuelu made a move.
After Zhang Yuelu became a celestial, even Qin Lingge was not her opponent, let alone these ordinary Confucian disciples?
I saw that Zhang Yuelu had passed thirteen Confucian disciples in a row, and he also waved the paper stick in his hand thirteen times, and opened a way in the midst of hundreds of people.
Behind Zhang Yuelu, many Confucian disciples turned on their backs and lay on the ground.
On the front line of Zhang Yuelu's advance, only the last Confucian student remained, his face was pale, and the two were trembling.
The three-foot stick made of white paper was less than an inch from his forehead.
Zhang Yuelu didn't swing the stick after all, slowly put away the paper stick, and said: "If what I said is wrong, then Confucianism should be the master of the world, why did it become a yellow flower of tomorrow?" ”
After that, Zhang Yuelu bypassed the Confucian student.
Confucius sat on the ground and couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
"Useless is a scholar." The boy surnamed Li snorted coldly and was about to turn around and leave.
At this moment, Zhang Yuelu suddenly stopped and turned her head to look in the direction where the son surnamed Li was.
The face of this son surnamed Li changed slightly.
In an instant, a tiny red dot appeared on his forehead and eyebrows, and blood slowly spread from this red dot, like the tip of a needle at first, and in the blink of an eye, it was the size of a copper coin.
Only then did Zhang Yuelu retract her gaze and walked towards the Jade Void Palace.
The son surnamed Li stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his eyebrows, and his eyes were gloomy.
