Chapter 17: Good and Evil
The glorious road of life, a drink and a peck, do not look back.
Looking at the glitz and glitz of the world, Nan Ke dreamed of a dream that shocked passers-by.
The groom also seemed a little strange, and he pointed to some small scholars on foot on the side of the road and said, "You don't know? This is the tradition of Yunzhou Academy. It's been years. Since you are going to school, didn't your family mention it? Little boy, you can't do it without restraints, and you will be poked in the backbone by those guys with high eyes and low hands. I advise you to go back and prepare for the entrance ceremony, which will not be completed at this moment. It's true that courtesy is light and affectionate, but you can't take it seriously, you must understand the sophistication of people! ”
Saying this, it is very bad for the driver.
Bundle, the gift of the teacher!
Jian Ning shook his head, how could he know what kind of restraint he had, it was originally arranged by Xiao Qishu or a girl named Xiang Xiaomo entrusted by the national teacher, and now Xiang Xiaomo's whereabouts are unknown, and there are various things along the way, he has long forgotten about it. Is it hard to go back? Ji Ning looked at the bustling city and shook his head. Anyway, let's go to the academy first.
The coachman nodded helplessly and said, "Okay... The innkeeper hired me, you are the master, you can do what you say, walk..."
After a while, Ji Ning looked at the coachman who was concentrating on driving the carriage and asked, "I don't know what you said about the restraints?" ”
"Oh? You say this, I really know the inside story. Because of this, the number of students studying has dropped a lot. It was put forward by the dean of Yunzhou Academy, and it was originally something that expressed the students' hearts. Earlier, it was not so philistine. But something happened that caused the dean to do so. Ay... You can't live if you do your own evil..."The coachman said slowly, falling into memory...
But he said that the dean came back from the self-study palace one day. I happened to meet three or two scholars chasing and fighting with books. He scolded and snatched the book, only to see that the book full of the words of the sages was already in tatters. And those students have long since run away without a trace, and even those scattered books on the ground have not been cleaned up.
He was also a lover of books, and seeing that these students did not cherish their schoolwork at all, and often ran out of the academy to play and play, he thought about what was wrong while cleaning up the books on the ground. But even so, although I was angry, I didn't want to give up on these enlightened children.
He went to someone's house and hoped that the students would go back to continue their studies, and he would teach them himself. Because he felt that his husband was not doing a good job. But what I didn't expect was that the family of a child was a butcher, so he beat the dean fiercely at that time, only saying that there was no one to stop him at that time. The dean who made trouble was extremely embarrassed. The books he had packed were mixed with blood on the ground, which was really unseemly.
The dean returned to the academy late at night, dressed in a plain robe covered with blood and mud, and he held those enlightenment books, laying them out one by one, and sorting them out one by one. Those sage articles were like a steel knife piercing into his heart. The more he looked, the more he didn't understand. Obviously such a good truth, such a good knowledge, how dare you do this!
Finally, he saw the sentence: 'At the beginning of man, nature is good!' ’
He went berserk and tore up all the books he had brought back.
"People! Sex is evil! ”
"The law is not passed lightly!"
The coachman woke up from his memories and said with a wry smile: "In this way, my baby was also expelled." Although it was yesterday, I still feel uncomfortable thinking about it today. Little boy? Is human nature really evil? ”
Ji Ning smiled and asked, "You should be able to contact many people every day, what do you think?" ”
The coachman said ignorantly: "Me? I'm just a coachman, and I know so much, but I just think, my doll, as soon as she was born, she cried a lot, what did she cry about? Crying his mother is suffering! My mother-in-law is also crying, what are you crying about? The crying child is finally safe, obviously he is going to die of pain, and he is still thinking about his baby. Little boy, isn't this good? ”
He shook his head and said, "You should still say this to Lord Dean, and it may not be possible to free me from my shackles." But what is there to say? I don't understand, just listen to it, I'm not a good teacher."
The coachman nodded and said, "Little boy, you say, I'll listen."
Ji Ning thought for a while and said, "There was a very powerful person who once said that what does it mean to say that 'the reason why life is called sex'? That is to say, people are born like that, that is, nature, so do you say that nature is evil or good? How do we know this? We call good things good and bad things evil. So who gave us the criteria for judging? I think in terms of the four words, 'justice is at ease in people's hearts', our people's hearts are good if they are good, and our people's hearts are evil when they are evil. From this it can be understood that whether it is good or evil, it is a standard imposed by the outside world. Then how can it be said that at the beginning of human beings, nature is inherently good and human nature is inherently evil? That's why I want to say that no matter whether it's good or evil, in fact, there is an intention to educate the common people. If you believe that human nature is inherently good, then do more good deeds, and if you believe that human nature is inherently evil, list these evils to alert yourself. That's what education means! The meaning of the law! ”
Ji Ning thought for a moment and slowly continued: "Lord Dean may just be teaching a big lesson to the people of Yunzhou. It is more moving than the words of a chattering saint."
The coachman listened, slowly stopped the car, he burst into tears, got up solemnly and got out of the car, stood under the car and bowed to the robber. I was reluctant to get up for a long time.
Seeing him like this, he hurriedly dodged and jumped out of the carriage on the other side.
He said eagerly: "What are you doing, I'm only five years old, don't break my life, I still want to grow up and marry a daughter-in-law!" You're so old."
The coachman, who was obviously still in the prime of life, was stunned for a moment, he touched his beard, then wiped away his tears and asked, "Are you really old?" I'm only 40 years old. Shouldn't it be very old, right? ”
The atmosphere was originally good, but the atmosphere suddenly became strange when he was robbed by Ning's worthless mouth. The coachman was in a state of deep self-doubt.
The autumn wind is bleak, and it can't dissipate the sorrow in my heart.
With the sound of horses' hooves, he finally came to Yunzhou Academy, and Jian Ning looked at the sea of people, and then compared his height. He was hesitant to compete for a place with the burly servants.
He put the back of his hand on his brow and squinted into the distance. Even the gates of Yunzhou Academy are difficult to see. He turned to the coachman and asked, "Are you sure this is already a man who has been stopped by the shackles and their numbers have been drastically reduced?" There aren't so many people in the entire Yunzhou Mansion, right? ”
The coachman smirked, he was untied by some unwitting kid. Everything you look at is very colorful. I even feel that my cultural roots are a little stronger.
He nodded and said, "Half of the powerful children of the Han Dynasty will enroll in school today. Of course there are a lot of people. Or what do you think? ”
Ji Ning thought blankly: "Big brother... If you can't beat it, forget it, this face! Dozens of Mo families are not opponents, right? ”
