On the debate square of the Jixia School Palace, more than 1,000 scholars gathered together, sitting on the futon, looking forward to seeing the demeanor of Wu Wang Qingji.

Of course, if possible, they must take advantage of this opportunity to be in the limelight.

In order to attract people's attention, get the attention of Qingji.

Among the more than 1,000 scholars, there are many who come to see the excitement.

Compared with the College of Engineering, the School of Medicine, and the School of Business, the School of Political Science is the most promising, and has the largest number of students, accounting for more than half of the Jixia Academy.

As far as Qingji knew, the number of scholars in the Jixia School Palace ranged from 3,000 to 5,000 all year round.

However, almost all scholars will choose the School of Political Science, thinking that they will enter the hall in the future and enter the phase.

Of course, the academics of the scholars are quite mixed, and some choose the School of Political Science at the same time, and may also take care of the College of Engineering and the School of War.

The most popular college is the School of Political Science, followed by the School of Military Affairs.

It's just that scholars have the right to take electives, as long as you have the talent in that area and get the approval of your husband, it's not impossible to learn them all.

A real genius can study hard for ten or eight years in the cold window of the Jixia School Palace, and Qingji will also sponsor him.

After all, there are too few such scholars, who can be called national treasure-level figures, and Qingji will naturally value them.

"Human nature is inherently good? Human nature is evil? ”

After seeing this issue raised by Qing Ji, the scholars present couldn't help but turn their heads and whisper.

"There are good people and evil people in the world, but this person's nature should be good, not evil."

"No one is born to be sure of good or evil, right?"

"Exactly!"

"This issue of the king is too biased, how can human nature be evil?"

The scholars couldn't help but shake their heads.

I feel quite helpless about this issue raised by Qingji.

In their view, human nature should be "good", not "evil".

If it can't be established, how can it be argued?

There are no contradictions, no conflicts, how can they be debated?

At this time, even the scholars who wanted to show off in front of Qingji and were unconventional couldn't help but retreat.

In the center of the square, there is a square platform, the "debate platform".

Every scholar, or everybody, is qualified to stand on the debate platform and debate.

Qingji is on the quadrangle platform.

Qingji looked around, looked at Kong Qiu, Lao Tzu, Fan Li, Ji Zha, Sun Ping, Yan Ying, Ji Ran and others who were sitting on the left and right, and smiled slightly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you think that human nature is good? Is it evil? ”

"Nature is good!"

Confucius smiled and said: "The king, please forgive the ministers for saying bluntly, this issue of the king should not be established. ”

"Really?"

Qing Ji was noncommittal, and set his eyes on Lao Tzu's body.

"Lao Tzu, do you think that human nature can be divided into good and evil?"

Hearing this, Lao Tzu thought about it secretly, and then bowed to Qingji and said: "King, the old man thinks that at the beginning of people, there is no difference between good and evil. ”

"Everything in the world has an essence."

"If birds and beasts, for the sake of survival, wolves kill sheep, eagles eat chickens, then wolves and eagles can be evil?"

"If it is measured by common sense, what is good for others is good, and what is good for oneself is evil. If it is beneficial to others, it is good to beat people and slander others. ”

"If it is good for oneself, it is evil to respect others and others."

"In this way, it is inevitably biased."

The meaning of Lao Tzu's later sentence is probably as follows: as long as it is beneficial to others, even if you beat him or scold him, it is good; As long as it is beneficial to oneself, even being respectful and polite to others is evil.

Lao Tzu disagrees with this.

As for Lao Tzu's opinion, Qingji still deeply agrees.

After all, the boundaries between good and evil are sometimes ambiguous.

Lao Tzu said slowly: "There is a cloud in the Book of Changes: the house of goodness must have afterglow, and the house of unkindness must have aftermath. ”

"Virtue is loaded, and goodness is half and full."

"The heart has nothing, the heart is pure, the good deeds are not obsessed, the heart has nothing to give, the person who has no help outside, there is no good deeds inside. (This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 495: Human Nature is Inherently Good

Even if you donate a penny, it is full of goodness. ”

"If you have the heart to do good, and you only care about the gains and losses, and you hesitate to do good, then even if you give ten thousand taels of gold, you can only stop at half good."

After a pause, Lao Tzu said meaningfully: "At the same time, there is a distinction between good and right. ”

"The good is right, and the good is evil."

"Doing bad things with good intentions is the "middle part". ”

"Bad intentions do good deeds, this is "the right in the middle". ”

"There is a good end and a song."

"Completely from the heart of the world, do not ask for reciprocated goodness, is the "end". ”

"Those who have the heart to please the world, the heart of cynicism, and the heart of cynicism are the ...... of "song"

Lao Tzu expounded his views on "goodness", which is very reasonable.

As for "evil", Lao Tzu is noncommittal.

He did not believe that at the beginning of human beings, there was a distinction between good and evil.

Confucius had a different opinion on this.

Fortunately, Lao Tzu did not intend to debate with Confucius around the topic of "human nature is inherently good, and human nature is inherently evil".

Otherwise, it's just endless.

To use a figurative phrase, it is-

Zifei fish, the joy of Anchi fish?

Everyone's point of view is different, and their ideas are naturally different.

Kong Qiu then stepped onto the debate platform in the square and sat upright.

This time, he took the initiative to ask Ying to explain to the scholars his view of "human nature is inherently good".

If there are opponents, Kong Qiu also has the confidence to defeat the opponent and be invincible.

"At the beginning of man, nature is good."

Kong Qiu looked around, looked at the scholars present, and said eloquently: "In the past, when Uncle Ao of the Chu State ordered Yin Sun Ao to be young, he traveled and saw a two-headed snake, killed and buried it. ”

"Why? His mother asked, and Sun Shuao said: Those who smell the two-headed snake die, and those who see it will die for fear of going to their mother. ”

"Those who have yin virtue will be blessed by heaven, so Uncle Sun Ao is not governed and the people of the country believe in his benevolence."

After a pause, Kong Qiu said again: "Today, when people see that their children are about to enter the river, they are in danger of drowning, and they all have compassion. ”

"That's why everyone has a heart that can't bear others."

"No compassion is not human. Compassion, benevolence! ”

"Good!"

"Color!"

"Master's Theory!"

The scholars present couldn't help but applaud.

According to Confucius, when the world sees a child who is about to fall into the river and drown, how can he not have compassion?

How could they not come to the rescue?

Sun Shuao is still a teenager, and if he kills a two-headed snake, he can bury his body.

Because it is rumored that anyone who sees a two-headed snake will die, so Uncle Sun Ao cried, not because he was afraid of death, but because he couldn't bear to let his mother send a white-haired person to a black-haired person......

Confucius can be said to be quoting scriptures, no wonder he can be recognized by a group of scholars.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Kong Qiu said angrily: "What is the key point in today's turmoil and controversy? ”

"If you don't know Zhou etiquette, you can't do benevolent government. _o_m Killing and conquering for pleasure is for the sake of the vital point! ”

“……”

Qingji couldn't cry or laugh a little.

Confucius's lecture is somewhat entrainment of "private goods".

But, at this moment, a different voice sounded!

"I don't dare to agree with what the Master said! I secretly thought that human nature is inherently evil! ”。
