Chapter 78: Another Interpretation of the Analects

If Han Fei was really a pure Confucian disciple, he might have corrected Mojun's philosophy when faced with Mojun's problem at this moment, believing that everyone could be taught by 'benevolence and righteousness'.

But unfortunately, Han Fei was not a Confucian disciple, what he really learned was Legalism.

And an important reason why he studied the doctrine of Legalism in the first place was because he saw and learned the theory of "sexual evil" from Xunzi.

So he knows very well that the question raised by Mo Jun is not a hard bar, but in reality, some people really can't be restrained by 'morality'.

"The sage said: repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue, only repay grievances with straightforwardness. Appropriately punishing people who are not civilized is also a form of defending good people. ”

In the end, Han Fei did not take out the Confucian set, but gave Fusu a teaching that was biased towards Legalism.

Hearing what Han Fei said, Mo Jun also cast a satisfied look at him, and then said to Fusu: "What, can the eldest son understand?" 'Teaching without class' is the work of saints, but the vast majority of sentient beings in this world are only mortals after all, so sometimes it is undesirable to think too ideally. ”

Fusu tilted his head and thought for a while, and then said, "Fusu understands, teacher." While punishing the bad guys, it is also safeguarding the rights and interests of the good guys, if the bad guys are indoctrinated, even if the bad guys can finally be corrected, it will still cause harm to the good guys. ”

"Therefore, only both rewards and punishments are the best way to govern the world."

Seeing that Fusu understood his teachings, Mo Jun suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, the eldest son is really smart and smart." ”

When Han Fei on the side heard this, he looked at Mo Jun with a little puzzlement.

Didn't this guy say he didn't know how to learn?

Just when Han Fei was puzzled, at this moment, he only heard Mo Jun speak again: "The method of governing the world The eldest son has now learned, but in addition, there is another more important thing, I hope the eldest prince will remember." ”

Fusu looked puzzled and asked, "I don't know what the teacher said?" ”

Mo Jun said slowly: "That is a more important and basic thing, can the eldest son know another interpretation of the sentence 'Chao Wen Dao, you can die at night'?" ”

Fusu thought for a while, then shook his head, and saluted respectfully: "Please also ask the teacher to teach me?" ”

Han Fei couldn't help but turn around and look at it, he was also very curious about what the other interpretation of Mo Jun's mouth was 'Chaowen Dao, it is okay to die at night'.

Facing the gaze of the two, he only heard Mo Jun put his hands behind his back, and slowly spoke: "Chao Wendao, you can die at night." Another meaning of this sentence is, 'I know the way to your house in the morning, and I can go there and kill you in the evening.'" ”

Fusu: "??? ”

Han Fei: "??? ”

Fu Nian: "??? ”

Xunzi: "!!"

Under the guidance of the people of Mofu, Fu Nian and Xunzi, who had just come to the gate of this courtyard, heard Mo Jun suddenly spit out such a sentence, and the two of them were immediately stunned.

And then I saw Fu Nian's face darken at a speed visible to the naked eye: "Sheng Pingjun tampered with the words of my Confucian sages like this, it is inevitable that there are some... It's rude. ”

The three people in the courtyard turned around at the same time, and when they saw the two people at the gate, Han Fei was the first to be startled, and hurriedly greeted Xunzi and saluted respectfully.

"Teacher, why are you here?"

"It's Han Fei! Why are you here? ”

Xunzi opened one eye slightly, and the master and apprentice reunited after a long absence, and they were a little surprised by each other.

"It's a long story about students."

Han Fei smiled bitterly, and did not talk too carefully about the matter between Qin and Han, because he didn't want to implicate his teacher.

And Xunzi nodded, as if he understood something, and did not continue to ask.

Although Han Fei is one of Xunzi's most outstanding disciples, since Han Fei came out of the [Little Sage Village], his identity is not only his own disciple, but also Han Fei's ninth son of South Korea.

As the contemporary head of Confucianism, Xunzi will not rashly involve [Little Sage Village] in the confrontation of various countries if it is not necessary.

"In this way, this is Fu Nian... Brother? ”

After meeting the teacher Xunzi, Han Fei looked at Fu Nian on the side, although he had already met in [Qinping Avenue] before, but standing in front of him face to face at this moment, Han Fei still felt a little trance.

"Fu Nian has seen Senior Brother Han Fei."

Hearing Han Fei mention himself, Fu Nian immediately bowed to Han Fei.

Han Fei hurriedly returned the salute.

In fact, the relationship between Han Fei and Fu Nian is not close, because the two are not the same teacher, even when they were studying in [Little Sage Village], Han Fei and Fu Nian only had a few encounters.

And the reason why Han Fei said goodbye to Fu Nian this time was that there was only one reason why he would pay special attention to him.

That is, the changes that have occurred in Fu Nian's body are too great.

It makes people feel a kind of impermanence in life, the large intestine is wrapped in the small intestine, and it is fried with a braised feeling.

Mo Jun also came over with Fusu at this time.

After Han Fei and his teacher and junior brother greeted each other, Mo Jun also greeted Xunzi and Fu Nian, and then looked at Fu Nian and said, "Mr. Fu Nian thinks what Ben Jun said just now is wrong?" ”

Hearing Mo Jun mention this matter again, Fu Nian's face also darkened, and he said, "Could it be that Shengping Jun thinks that the nonsense just now is reasonable?" ”

Although Fu Nian now respects Mo Jun very much, when he heard Mo Jun 'insult' the Confucian patriarch and sage Confucius like this, Fu Nian couldn't help but feel angry.

It's not nice to say, that is, the person who said this sentence now is Mo Jun, but if you change someone, maybe Fu Nian has already started to use the sword now.

However, Mo Jun smiled and said: "Mr. Fu Nian's words are wrong, half of what Ben Jun said just now is indeed a joke. ”

"Half?"

"Yes, Confucian sages are naturally not such brave people, but this does not mean that Confucian sages do not have such courageous strength. Can Mr. Fu Nian know the bravery of the saint? ”

"This..."

Fu Nian was slightly silent.

Although Confucianism is all scholars, they all learn both civil and military skills, including Fu Nian, who has also cultivated a very profound skill.

Therefore, Fu Nian has naturally seen it in the classics about the sage's martial arts, but if you want to say how strong Confucius's martial arts are, Fu Nian is really a little unclear.

Seeing this, Mo Jun smiled, and then suddenly looked at Xun Zi on the side and asked, "Does Mr. Xun know the courage of the saint?" ”

Xunzi stroked his beard with one hand, and after pondering for a while, he replied: "The old man has read a few words in some historical books, in addition to the wisdom of the ancestor and sage, it is said that a martial arts is also rare in the world, because of its innate divine power, after adulthood, just a little dabbling in martial arts, he has become the world's top master." ”

Mo Jun applauded: "Mr. Xun is worthy of being the head of Confucianism, and he really has a wide range of knowledge. ”

"Yes, before that, the right prime minister of Qin State advocated the compilation of a book "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period", which recorded that "the strength of Confucius is the gateway to the country". ”

"This statement is enough to prove that the bravery of the saint is far comparable to that of ordinary people."

It's just that the sage is humble, so he doesn't show off his achievements in martial arts too much, so even in many Confucian classics, there is no record of the sage's achievements outside of academics."

"There is a sentence in "The Analects of Zihan".

Dazai asked Yu Zigong, "What is the Master and the Sage?" How versatile? Zigong said: "The general who solidifies the sky is holy, and he is also versatile." When Zi heard it, he said: "Dazai knows me? I am less and cheaper, so I can do a lot of contemptible. How many gentlemen? Not much either. ”

"For a saint, too many skills are not something to show off, these are just abilities that he has been forced to master since he was a child."

"But the saint has traveled all over the world, if he didn't have a peerless martial arts to protect him, how could he run rampant in troubled times. If you don't have enough confidence, how can you retreat from the countries every time? ”

"So, Fusu, do you understand?"

In the end, Mo Jun looked at Fusu and said slowly.

But this time, Fusu obviously couldn't understand a little, and he was confused for a long time, and finally raised his head, looked at Mo Jun a little dazedly, and said, "What does the teacher mean, before I do anything, I must have the ability to protect myself?" ”

Mo Jun nodded first, then shook his head and said, "This is only one aspect, it is also important to have the ability to protect yourself. But as a king, no matter what kind of statecraft you want to implement, the first thing to ensure is not whether the policy is good or bad, but how to implement it smoothly. ”

"There are things you can do without, but you can't live without."

Fu Su wrinkled his little face and thought hard for a long time, and finally shook his head decadently and said, "The student still doesn't quite understand. ”

Mo Jun smiled and patted Fu Su's head, and said, "I don't care, I just need to remember what the teacher said today."

This is the most troublesome part of teaching a future crown prince, as Fusu's teacher, Mo Jun now needs to teach him how to become a qualified king in the future, but he can't teach too clearly.

"So be it! The teacher will give you a sample today and let you know what is the best way to convince someone. ”

As he spoke, Mo Jun slowly turned his head to look at Fu Nian on the side.

Feeling Mo Jun's gaze, Fu Nian's heart suddenly chuckled, and a not very good premonition came to his heart.

"Shengpingjun, you ......"

"What does Mr. Fu Nian think of what Benjun just said?" Mo Jun said gently.

When Fu Nian heard this, he hesitated slightly, and then said: "What Shengping Jun said just now does have some truth, but..."

"By the way, please also ask Mr. Fu Nian to answer seriously, depending on the relationship between Mr. Fu Nian and Ben Jun during this time, Ben Jun may be able to help Confucianism print a few more books!"
