Chapter 466: The Way of Statecraft (Part II)
Kong Ran said at this time that the art of governing the country by science is naturally only one part of the way of science, but it also really says that the center of governing the country by science is the center.
To put it bluntly, it is still inseparable from the classic old saying, that is, "The king wants his ministers to die, the ministers have to die, the main slaves die, and the slaves have to die!"
In addition, there are those general theories that imprison people's hearts.
At this time, on the platform, Kong Ran talked about his statecraft, he was simply gushing, his mouth was like a river, he said what he was excited about, and he always gestured towards the Jin Emperor.
This scene, these words fell in the eyes and ears of those students who admired Kong Ran, and they made their hearts surge, and these students seemed to see in front of their eyes, under the leadership of Master Kong Ran, they and others entered the court one after another, helping the world with science, helping the emperor to recreate the ancient world, and finally becoming a generation of famous ministers!
On the other hand, on the throne of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Jin Emperor also nodded again and again, smiling, the reason why he took a fancy to Kong Ran's science, isn't it like this?
And Sima Yanran and the other women, after hearing this, first showed disdain, and then seemed to think that if these things really came true, wouldn't their future life be gloomy, and suddenly the faces of these women all turned pale.
Then they all looked at the pale cyan figure who was sitting on the platform and was sipping tea on his own, at this time, after Kong Ran's tongue battle with the stars, I am afraid that only this Qingxuan Taoist priest has hope to win this Kong Ran!
Ye Qingxuan only felt as if he didn't know how many eyes fell on his body, he felt it in his heart, turned his head lightly, and then brushed the dust together, looked up at Kong Ran, who was talking about his own philosophy of governance, his brows furrowed slightly, and the boredom in his heart arose!
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Transporting the innate divine skill, Ye Qingxuan announced the trumpet, and the clear voice suddenly overshadowed Kong Ran's solemn and rigid voice!
Suddenly, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, and then they saw Kong Ran's face change, and they opened their mouths to question Ye Qingxuan, why they were rude to interrupt him.
However, before he could speak, he heard Ye Qingxuan whisper in his indifferent voice, "Layman, you said so much, but you are completely wrong!"
"Hmph! Dao Chief, if you are eloquent, you are indeed clever, but if you talk about governing the country, how can you say that I am wrong?" Hearing this, Kong Ran's face was solemn, and he casually interrupted Ye Qingxuan's words, and immediately said, "I am a Confucian scholar, and if I talk about governing the country, what kind of knowledge can compare with my Confucianism? Not to mention, from the Confucian classics, the old and the new, delved into the science of science?"
Dao Chief, at this time, I opened my mouth and said that I was wrong, but I was not afraid of the wind and flashed my tongue?"
Because he heard Ye Qingxuan say three times and twice that he was not rational, he was rigid and serious for a while, but he couldn't help but be sarcastic about Ye Qingxuan!
"Since the Taoist said that my science and statecraft are wrong, then I don't know, what do you think?"
"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh!" Looking up at Kong Ran, whose eyes were full of ridicule and contempt, Ye Qingxuan's expression remained unchanged, but he just opened his mouth as if he was casual!
"What?" As soon as Ye Qingxuan's words came out, he couldn't help but make Kong Ran stunned when he heard it, "Governing the country is like cooking fresh? Isn't this Taoist priest a little lost and crazy by me?"
Everyone present, not only Kong Ran had such an idea, but the rest of the people, including the three and three saints who invited Ye Qingxuan to come to argue with Kong Ran that day, all had a general feeling in their hearts, and they were inevitably a little inexplicable in their hearts.
However, after this inexplicable time, these saints under the grass savored this sentence in their hearts, but they felt that it seemed to contain endless philosophy, and for a while, the nine people seemed to be thoughtful and silent.
However, the saint had such an insight, but others did not, so the students and guests shook their heads and chuckled when they heard it.
At this moment, I heard Ye Qingxuan's faint voice coming over, "Poor Dao said, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and the Tao is the world, and its ghosts are not gods." It is not a ghost or a god, and its god does not hurt people. If it is not a god, it does not hurt people, and a saint does not hurt people. The husband and wife do not hurt each other, so virtue is returned. ”
This philosophy is a very famous sentence in the Tao Te Ching in his previous life, Ye Qingxuan naturally knows that what Lao Tzu said is not only the art of Taoist governance, but also the art of Taoist self-cultivation.
Its central theme is not to act rashly, to be quiet and natural, and to rule by inaction!
As soon as these words came out, the noise in the audience gradually dissipated, and the eyes of the nine saints flashed a look of understanding at the same time, of course, some of them agreed and admired, and some shook their heads in denial.
And the Jin Emperor over there, after hearing this, frowned, and then shook his head slightly, this scene fell in Sima Changqing's eyes, but he couldn't help but hook up a touch of ridicule at the corner of his mouth, but soon, Sima Changqing forgot his form.
No matter what the others were, after saying this, Ye Qingxuan stood up, walked to Kong Ran's side, and made a mockery towards Kong Ran, whose eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about how to refute it in his heart, and then continued, "Layman, my Daomen also has the art of governing the country, but this art of governing the country is also the art of self-cultivation.
I am a monk of the Taoist Gate, and when I enter the mountains and forests, I am a hermit, and I go up to the avenue! I can also cultivate myself, work with my family, govern the country, and level the world!"
Ye Qingxuan's words were indifferent, and he even quoted a famous saying that was widely circulated in Confucianism.
This made Kong Ran, who originally wanted to refute it, couldn't help but stagnate, but in the end, Kong Ran still said strongly, "Dao Chang, Ran's science governs the country, that is, Confucianism, it is also Ran's learning, Dao Chang's words, but the Daomen's words, Dao Chang is just picking up the wisdom of the ancestors, if it is really as the Taoist said, rule by doing nothing, then how to grasp this degree?"
If the emperor of the people hangs his arch, the court has no owner, and the world does nothing, will it be necessary to rule the world with morality and people's hearts? I am afraid that at that time, the world will be in chaos, and the people will not be able to make a living!"
"Sophistry!" Ye Qingxuan heard Kong Ran's words, and immediately shook his head and chuckled, "Laymen must know that the Tao does nothing and does nothing, and does nothing, not incures."
Since you say so, the poor Tao will talk to you in detail, the world's learning, is not the Tao, Confucianism is the Tao, Legalism is the Tao, the soldier is the Tao, the merchant is the Tao, that is, your science is also the Tao.
It's just that this path is your way, but these ways will eventually belong to the way.
In this case, in the view of the poor Dao, learning is learning, as long as it is beneficial to the people of the country, then why is it not available?"
"Do laymen know why the ancient emperors of the ancients had the great rule of the world?" Speaking of this, Ye Qingxuan brushed the dust, and then looked at Kong Ran fixedly, with a hint of mystery in his eyes.
Suddenly being looked at by Ye Qingxuan like this, Kong Ran intuitively felt that he was in a trance, and then subconsciously took Ye Qingxuan's words, and wanted to return to "Why?"
However, at the moment when these words were about to be spoken, the true meaning of the martial saint in Kong Ran's heart was shocked, and he immediately sobered up, and then when the words came to his mouth, they turned into a sneer: "That's naturally because the emperor is virtuous, and then the world will naturally rule!"
