However, it was said that Shen Sanwen went to the palace today to ask for this universal education, and a few people were secretly worried about him, that is, the masters and servants in the princess's mansion.

The princess only thought that this thing could be done, but if it couldn't be done, don't be upset, just let the horse not get off the stage.

As for Cui Xuan, he is not optimistic, this is really difficult, in recent years, in order to popularize literacy, the princess's finances are tight, and everything has to be considered, some can't let go of their hands and feet, this is implemented to the whole country, and the embarrassment is His Majesty the Emperor. If you are not careful, it will cause opposition from some classes, or some people will be restless after there are more readers, and it will shake the national foundation.

Will Your Majesty allow him to mess around? How fierce will the opposition of the imperial court be.

Cui Xuan is ready, how to comfort him, the words have been thought of, "Three questions, you don't have to be obsessed, everything has a gradual process, now the popularity of writing is still insufficient, and when the people of the country are literate, not five years, at that time, in the next generation to implement the study of literature, parents and brothers can still help, and the younger generation can bring the content home, learn from each other, and get twice the result with half the effort." Even if it fails this time, it doesn't matter, why are we still long, if it doesn't work once, just do it again, Your Majesty will always agree one day. It's really not good, when the princess ascends the throne, we will definitely help you run the scenery of education for all, and those old stubborns can no longer stop it. ”

Besides, in the court, Shen Sanwen was still very satisfied with this opponent.

However, this opponent still misinterpreted Lao Tzu's meaning.

Lao Tzu's rule by inaction is not to avoid differences and go with the flow, nor is it to assimilate and weaken people. Instead, follow the avenue of heaven and earth, and use the method of non-action to achieve the goal of promising. Lao Tzu only pointed out in the third chapter of the Tao Te Ching that the people would be ignorant and desireless, but Lao Tzu's purpose was not to fool the people, on the contrary, he also advocated that everyone should cultivate the Tao, not to cultivate morality, nor to cultivate, but to learn his set of worldview, methodology, and philosophy of living in the world.

This set of philosophy, where can ordinary people in this era learn, listen to his Taoist theories, you can drive people crazy, needless to say, understand it.

Lao Tzu is a philosopher with naïve dialectics, and Shen Sanwen is a philosophical student who has been trained in Marxism-Leninism, so Shen Sanwen thinks that he is better than others in dialectics.

Nowadays, there are not many people who respect Lao Tzu's theory, but Shen Sanwen knows that Wu Zetian agrees with many of Lao Tzu's views to a certain extent, especially to make the people have no desire to rule, so he did not be careless on this issue, thought a little, and formed a complete chain of thinking.

Shen San asked, "The Tao is the Tao, the very Tao, does it mean that there is an internal law in everything, but this law is not immutable." ”

"Yes."

Shen San asked again, "Where blessings and misfortunes lurk, and where misfortunes and blessings depend, does it mean that good things and bad things are relative and can be converted into each other." ”

"Yes, but it doesn't mean that now the time has come for the Great Zhou to be able to implement education for all, and the implementation of education for all will make the Great Zhou better, maybe one day in the future there will be no natural and man-made disasters, and the finances will be relaxed, and it can be realized, but it is by no means now."

Shen Sanwen didn't care about his rebuttal, and continued to ask, "Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is natural, does it mean that you know that the earth is virtuous and does not complain, and then you understand that the grace of the heavens does not seek retribution, and the greatness of all things grows, and finally you can understand the nature of the Great Dao, so as to follow a set of laws of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and achieve the realm of doing nothing and doing nothing." ”

"Yes, I didn't expect the horse master to love Huang Laozhi too."

Shen Sanwen raised his eyebrows, Lao Tzu's statement was awkward and troublesome, "Lao Tzu said that heaven and earth are self-evident without pushing themselves, the sun and moon are self-evident without anyone burning, the stars are self-ordered without being listed, and birds and beasts are self-generated without man-made beings, which is natural." It has been said that people are ignorant and socially safe. ”

Lao Tzu did not say so, but said that the rule of the sage is to humble his heart, strengthen his belly, weaken his will, and strengthen his bones. Scholars are the most ambitious and ambitious. ”

Shen San asked: "This is natural, because since Dong Zhongshu, scholars have learned Confucian doctrines, not Taoism." Taoism is based on comprehension, which is too difficult for most people, and is far less thorough than Confucianism's explanation of the family and the state. ”

Confucianism emphasizes that the monarch and the ministers are the ministers, and the ministers are to learn the arts and martial arts, protect the country and the people, and have no heart and ambition, what can they achieve.

Shen Sanwen continued, "Although Lao Tzu did not write down the order of the country and the people, he has already told us. That is, with the changes and changes of society, follow the laws of society, follow the changes of people, let them be modest, do not force wealth and nobility, and do not force inaction.

Inaction is a state that must be achieved by following the law.

The wise man does not dare to do it, and the wise man does not dare to do whatever he wants, so that he can rule by doing nothing.

However, in today's Great Zhou, the people of Dawn can already be satisfied, their muscles and bones are not strong, but their ambitions are not small, and the contradictions are not small. The major yamen, such as Chang'an County and Wannian County, most of the cases handled each time are cases of personal prejudice, and they are litigious for personal interests.

What are their aspirations? is a scholar and an official, no one asks about the cold window for ten years, and he becomes famous all over the world in one fell swoop. Farmers and businessmen are eager to transform into scholars, whether it is to realize their political ambitions, to leave a clear vision for heaven and earth, or to change the status and circumstances of the family, and live up to the expectations of glorifying their ancestors.

All scholars are eager to be officials, all those who have not read are eager to be able to understand the books of sages and sages, and become famous in the imperial examination, and now most of the people in the court are taken by the imperial examination, who does not want to take the exam, but is selected, and is eager to do nothing and is valued by His Majesty today, is there? ”

Of course there is no more, and when you say this, you can basically resign and say goodbye.

Shen Sanwen didn't give everyone a chance to answer.

So where is today's inaction, how to do it if it is weak-minded and empty-minded?

It's about education for all.

Only when everyone is polite and reasonable, can they truly not advocate reading, do not show off their skills, and do not value rare things, so that they can do their own business.

The opportunity to govern the world is reserved for those who have good cultivation, have a common language with the sages, and have a deep understanding of society, and can reassure the people of the people.

However, in order for them to make the most of what they have learned, it is necessary for the people under their rule to understand what they are doing, understand what they say, and obey his management and arrangement.

How can managing a group of foolish people who don't understand reason, only know their personal interests, and mess around, be happy.

If a policy that can produce short-term results is misunderstood, misunderstood, and abused, the more it is governed, the more difficult it will become.

The more you learn, the more you will know how small you are, and the more you learn, the more you will understand your shallowness. Officials, on the other hand, should take the lead in setting a good example, doing a good job of serving the country and the people, sacrificing their own time, dedicating their wisdom, thinking about what others can't think of, and what others can't, so that they can be humble-minded.

Only when education for all allows everyone in the world to have the opportunity to study, and only those officials who can convince the king and the people with their broad minds and lofty aspirations can they realize the gap between people, so that they can give up what they are unable to do, and are eager to progress in studying, but no longer aim to be officials, which is a weak will.

Conform to nature and their respective abilities, this is the way of inaction that is suitable for Lao Tzu of the Great Zhou.

Furthermore, Lao Tzu said that first there is the Tao to give birth to all things, and then there is inaction is to do something, and to do is to do nothing. Should the people follow the self-righteous way to do nothing, or should they learn the way of science, and then follow the guidance of the way, do nothing and be kind to others? ”

At this time, there was silence in the court again.

Shen San asked: If you don't make a noise today, you have already made a splash.

These words are thought-provoking, many people think of their aspirations when they were studying, and they feel that if they become officials, people will be happier than they are living now, but now, most of them are just standing still, they can eat enough, and they can still eat enough. More pursuits? No, can you live a rich life? Nor did it.

I once remembered that when I was young, I admired Zhou Gong and worshiped Di Gong, and secretly swore in my heart to take these two people as an example, Kuang Fu Sheji, and assist Ming Jun. I once remembered that the first time someone gave a gift, the contempt and spurning in his heart were polluted by the weight that was raised again and again, and he gave up morality. I once remembered that the mercy for the victims, the importance of public interests, when the case was decided, when the court appropriations were distributed, the righteous and fair hand never retreated in the face of more clamour, but because of the words of his wife, children, mother, uncle and others, his temperament changed.

Reminiscing about the past, it is unbearable to look back.

Sad, tears darkened.

The hall knelt down again, "The ministers are ashamed." ”

How many people in the world dare to say that they are worthy of their hearts in their lives, and they are officials and have never been dusted.

As soon as this remark on how to be an official came out, where did this group of people still have the mind to think about education for all, they were all born with self-blame, even if they were hard-hearted, how could they dare to raise their heads and be such a leader in this general stream.

In the huge hall, only Shen Sanwen stood in it, unspeakably romantic.

with invincible loneliness.

Wu Zetian didn't say a word, everyone only knelt on the ground, for a long time, the person who refuted before, opened his mouth to echo, "The minister read what Lao Tzu said, he didn't know half of it, and he didn't know how to be realistic, so he laughed." ”

Shen Sanwen has a trace of appreciation for such a person, who can argue with reason, and knows that he can change his mistakes, "I can't tell the reason, I have a humble opinion, and I laughed." ”

But the man said, "I wonder what the horse thinks of Buddhism?" ”

It turns out that you haven't given up yet, Shen San asked to take back the previous appreciation, "May I ask who you are?" ”

"Zhang Yuanqiang, the waiter in the lower household department."

No wonder, the household department is in charge of finance, and everything must be carefully calculated, and there is a Shangshu on top of this waiter, he doesn't ask Shen San, and he will be scolded when he goes back.

Whether he personally approves or not, it doesn't matter if he is above this court.

However, Buddhism is even more mysterious, how to explain Shen Sanwen can tell a truth, Confucianism and Taoism theoretically support education for all, and a Buddhism can still turn the sky upside down.

Shen San asked and looked at Wu Chenghe, "What does Master Wu say about Buddhism?" ”

After debating for so long, he really forgot what Wu Chengji said.

Wu Chengsi: "All living beings are suffering, and letting go is free." ”

Shen San asked and looked at Zhang Yuanqiang, "Buddhism has no objection, it was Master Wu who persuaded me to let go." ”

Zhang Yuanqiang replied, "The horse said that all living beings are interested in fame and fortune, and they are eager to be officials and scholars. Shouldn't this kind of imposition be let go? Buddhism crosses people, that is, people who are willing to be free and relaxed, why force fame and fortune, and force study. ”

Shen San asked: "The Buddha said, color is emptiness is color, color is illusion from emptiness, emptiness is the origin of color, everything is fate, there is fate, color can become empty, empty energy can become color."

In the same way, seeking or not seeking, it is all fate, and it is all free. If you don't ask, how to know the difficulty of seeking, the difficulty of seeking, give up and take it freely, and become what you don't seek.

If you don't ask for it, how can you envy the wealth you seek, so as to have the desire to ask.

Survival is not seeking, not survival is seeking. To ask is not to seek, not to seek, not to seek, is to seek.

What does it have to do with being literate or not, reading without reading, and education without education.

If there is, it is all fate, how can worldly people force it. ”

Shen Sanwen also expected this Zhang Yuanqiang to be embarrassed a few more words, but after he finished his routine, he didn't say a word.

It seems that he understands the difficulty of Shen San's question, and has given up treatment.

Today, the princess put a lot of hands outside the court, and people were in the palace next to the early court to review the documents, Cui Xuan also entered the palace in the name of assistance, waiting for the news of the early court.

This kind of flexible debate is actually not easy, because there are many explanations, and no one can convince anyone, what Confucius thought at that time. After all, Confucius advocated order and hierarchy, and this sentence is to serve the king and be a dog's leg, or to educate the people, who can say it clearly.

Cui Xuan sighed immediately, I'm afraid that the arguments of the master of the horse have been forgotten, can he still debate with this group of Confucian students, and the game is over before the other Buddhas and the way of Lao Tzu. When the morning dynasty is over, I have to make up for his Analects, otherwise he will suffer a lot in front of this group of scholars.

The princess was shocked, thinking about how she should break the situation if she stood in Shen Sanwen's perspective. There are so many things that Confucius said that it is not difficult to find evidence to support them, but the difficulty lies in how to get this group of scholars to give up their prejudices and their prejudices and contempt for the weaker classes. The scholars taken by the imperial examination are not all a group of dross who forget that water can carry boats and can also overturn boats.

The people who came to pass the word changed again and again, and the two finally listened to the dispute between Confucianism, Cui Xuan immediately sighed to himself, it was really high, and he transformed his own concept into the concept of Confucius and His Majesty, who else could object.

Monarchs and ministers, a scholar, where dare to resist, this is the mountain that presses on them.

This first round of debate is considered stable, at least His Majesty is willing to give words of encouragement, and he will not fall behind.

As for the society of universal education that Shen Sanwen said, they have long been surprised, there are too many "very popular" concepts, they can't count them, what is governing the country according to law, everyone is equal, men and women are equal, and there is no freedom of love, there is nothing he dare not think. Now it is only one step to implement universal education, and it is already Amitabha.

The rest is the big problem.

Cui Xuan thought, Lao Tzu's inaction is really indefensible, winning one round, losing one round, and one round is not up or down, which is not ugly.
