Chapter 50: Kongqiu is released from prison
It is said that after Kong Qiu was arrested, the Emperor of Heaven interrogated him.
The Emperor of Heaven asked him at first, "Why do you want to discuss the affairs of the common people?"
Confucius replied: I feel that if I am a monk, then I am questioning myself, I am more than five hundred years old, what else do I want?
Kong Qiu's rhetorical question, as well as his saying that he was questioning himself, made the Emperor relax his vigilance, and with some apologies, let Kong Qiu get out of prison and go to the bustling hall to chat.
When the Emperor of Heaven came to the hall, the brightly lit environment brightened his mood.
Kong Qiu sat aside, and the Emperor of Heaven also sat down with his sleeves.
The two sides remained silent, and the wind outside the hall flashed three times, blowing the guardrail in the hall three times.
Conciu was the first to speak, breaking the deadlock: I...
Kongqiu stammered, but did not say the whole thing.
Then Kong Qiu saw that the Emperor of Heaven was waiting patiently beside him, so he finally said with a twist: I am a monk who has lived for five hundred years~
Conchuton said, continuing: I can't stand your teachings, I feel like a very ordinary person.
Kong Qiu, who was in a huff, said silently: "Even a five-hundred-year-old monk like me behaves so ordinarily, without ordinary people in the world, I can't imagine that there are really high and low. ”
The Emperor seemed to want to say something, but he stopped talking and held back.
Kong Qiu didn't notice the performance of the Heavenly Emperor, because because of this incident, Kong Qiu kept bowing his head when he faced the Heavenly Emperor who he had often thought about before, especially the cause of this incident, which frightened his soul.
Kong Qiu continued: "The experiment on ordinary people is to prove that in the future, the monks will be like me and recognize ordinary people. I'm five hundred years old, and I'm more than a thousandth of the surface of the monk as a whole.
Emperor: And me.
Confucius said: One person is not a monk as a whole, one person represents the world, not all monks.
The Emperor of Heaven was not silent, and rarely refuted the facts: Are you questioning the monks?
Kongqiu bowed his head and muttered: I'm questioning myself.
"Lonely people are a bit self-effaced, always doing something, thinking something, and other things. The Emperor of Heaven didn't know why, and suddenly he started chattering.
He looked at Kong Qiu's cautious look, and then said: "Looking around, not a single monk is with you, haven't you thought about the life of a monk?"
Kong Qiu suddenly collapsed, and when he heard the words of the Emperor of Heaven, he touched his face in shame and said: I didn't dare to think about it, it was an unreal scene to think about. I didn't dare to ask, and I still couldn't get the answer I wanted. I just want to kill civilians to vent my anger, I don't care about the lives of ordinary people, but you are here.
Seeing that Kong Qiu suddenly stopped talking, the Emperor of Heaven aroused his curiosity and asked: With me, what's wrong?
"With you, you can't kill ordinary people. Kong Qiu said directly in the face.
"Because I'm here, you can't enter, so you choose to retreat?" The Emperor laughed inexplicably, and said in a relaxed mood: The unwarranted guilt has also been deducted from my head. Go back, live seriously, there are some things that can't be touched, try to vent elsewhere.
The Emperor of Heaven turned around to leave, and before leaving, he persuaded Kong Qiu: Be serious and peaceful, when it comes to the ideological choice of life, it is better to choose a long-term failure, not to choose a short rest of your life. What is the difference between the rest of an ordinary life and ordinary people? Don't end up with aging thoughts, choose the ~ principles of heaven and earth of ordinary people.
Confucius didn't know what to do: Why can't you face the facts?
If you persuade you, Kong Qiu is bored. Kong Qiu is not a young man, and the monks who have come over step by step after setbacks and tempering, how can they regret their good words and warm persuasion?
Kong Qiu did not hesitate to go past, preferring to be wrong and straight, for the emperor to give him a fair life.
The Emperor of Heaven owes no one, it is Kong Qiu who is now fascinated.
Fair~
Benevolence and righteousness equals justice, at least the Emperor knows how to pay the price for free.
The Emperor of Heaven said: There is no truth you want, only the result, I am still alive!
The Heavenly Emperor snorted coldly, feeling rather displeased that Kong Qiu was cursing his short life.
Kong Qiu suddenly felt hesitant, as if he had lost something?
Confucius said in alarm: Those who tremble and tremble will feel sorry for those who tremble and tremble.
Confucius: Even my 500-year-old monks would think like this, where is the whole world? Monks are destined to follow the path of ordinary people, and the evil person lives like a superfluous person.
After hearing this, the Emperor of Heaven missed himself with a lot of emotion. Especially the redundant and redundant people, the description is very apt.
The Emperor of Heaven made an evaluation in his heart and stepped forward lightly.
looked directly at Kong Qiu's unwilling face, and felt that Kong Qiu was also for my good.
After thinking about it for a long time, he still told Kong Qiu some truth, as for the specifics, whether Kong Qiu can guess it depends on the destiny that the Emperor thinks exists.
The Emperor of Heaven said to Kong Qiu: If the people in the world are killed directly, they will still wonder why they killed them.
"What do you think?" the Emperor of Heaven directed.
Kong Qiu said: I don't know, they will think that they are good beings, why kill them innocently and inexplicably?
Conchu: Ordinary people also have definitions of good and evil.
Kong Qiu said tentatively, and then said with uncertainty.
The Emperor of Heaven said bluntly: Especially the newborn civilians, they especially feel that they live a normal life and have the right to live and live.
Emperor: I'm redundant.
Kongqiu: Is it really impossible to live with the commoners? What is it that makes the responsibility of the monks unable to let go of the mustard of the common people.
The Heavenly Emperor snorted coldly for a moment, and still said: You are too young, and the pain you experience is just a manifestation of what you think is pain, and you don't understand the real pain.
The Emperor of Heaven sneered: Pain has happened, only immortality.
Kong Qiu said puzzled: You can let ordinary people be with ordinary people, not with monks.
The Emperor of Heaven changed color and stepped forward to remove one of Kongqiu's arms.
Kongqiu, whose right arm was removed, was regrettably shocked.
The Heavenly Emperor was furious and said, "Aren't we ordinary people!"
"Animals that have not experienced pain, let me go back to my old place and nest. The Heavenly Emperor's voice gradually lowered in the second sentence, which completely caused the Heavenly Emperor's discrimination, and he decided that Kong Qiu was not a monk of the Seven Kingdoms and had no innate inheritance.
