Chapter 413: There are many ways

Gongsun Nuo said: "The next story is even more interesting. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info an old man in the village, named the eldest son 'thief' and the younger son 'beaten'. When the eldest son went out, the old man chased after him and shouted, "Thief, thief!" When the official heard this, he thought that the eldest son was a robber, so he tied him up. The old man was in a hurry, and hurriedly summoned his second son to explain to the officials, and his voice remained unchanged in his eagerness, so he shouted, 'Beat!'" and the officials listened to his words, and began to beat the eldest son, almost killing the eldest son. ”

When the people heard this, they burst into laughter and became more interested in the way of the famous masters.

Gongsun Nuo said: "Although the name is self-evident, there are also beautiful and ugly, good and evil, noble and lowly. The good thing should be accompanied by a good name, and the evil should be warned by the notoriety, and it should not be wrong. If not, the jokes will be small, and the disasters will be great. ”

The people all nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, Gongsun Nuo said: "There are three types of names, big names, private names, and class names. Extending the study of names, gradually deepening, leading to the concepts of criminal names, famous arguments, etc., and finally ending with "pan-love for all things, the world is one", won the full voice.

At the end of the famous sermon, Xiao Yi felt a lot, and thought: "The learning of famous masters has indelible merits for human beings to recognize the world. It's a pity that later generations focus on the distinction between name and reality, and are confined to the struggle for fame and fortune, and go farther and farther, which eventually leads to the dust of fame and learning, which is misunderstood by the world, which is really a pity. ”

He was followed by the Legalists. That Han Li opened with a sentence "The law, the public instrument of the world". I don't know if it's because of nervousness or excitement, its voice trembles slightly. After talking for a while, the conversation went on as usual and gradually got better.

Han Li mainly teaches the way of reward and punishment today, and determines the world with rewards and punishments.

It's a pity that when the people heard about the severe punishment and the law, they suddenly became disgusted, and no matter how good the reward was, they couldn't arouse the slightest interest, and few people could listen carefully.

In the end, when he said that "the Son of Heaven broke the law and sinned with the common people" and "before the law, everyone is equal", the people resonated and listened attentively. However, the time had come and we had to hurry up.

Han Li felt slightly regretful, hugged his fists at Na Wanyan to show his gratitude, and returned to his seat.

Then, I heard a man say in a loud voice: "Those who are vertical and horizontal, you will also be closed." Those who break the door will be magnified, and the words will change. ”

Xiao Yi followed the prestige, but saw that Lin Yuehe was standing in front of the stage, and he was already talking endlessly.

At this time, I only heard the long-ring Taoist sneering coldly: "The people who are vertical and horizontal, in the twilight of the Qin Dynasty, have no decision on things, and they are really villains who are mercenary." How dare you praise such unrighteous statements?"

Changjing Zhenren hurriedly said: "Don't be impatient, don't talk nonsense." ”

The Taoist disciples were resistant to the ghost family's affair with the Taoist family, and their faces were not good, so they had to cover their ears and refuse to listen.

However, when we look around at the other houses and the people in the field, the situation is the opposite. It can even be said that, for the first time since yesterday's sermon, the venue was as quiet as everybody.

It turns out that the art of vertical and horizontal, teaching people to use power to scheming, can help people win in the world's disputes. Compared with other paths, only this path is the most effective. Therefore, in spite of the criticism and bad reputation of the way, the people are still engrossed in listening and listening, in order to learn some strategies for future use.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but shake his head. But I thought in my heart: "The ghost family's vertical and horizontal technique, speculating on people's hearts, is unguardable." When I fought against the ghost family twice, I was restrained by it because I didn't understand the art of vertical and horizontal, and this time I had the opportunity, so I must understand it, and the next time I meet it, I can also take precautions. Then he listened quietly.

Moral education is of course excellent. But it is the nature of people's hearts to be close to profit, and even Xiao Yi is not immune. That's where the charm of the art of vertical and horizontal comes in.

Just listen to Lin Yue's river: "If Yue is ancient, the saint is in heaven and earth, and he is the first of all living beings." Viewing the opening and closing of yin and yang is the gateway to life, the gateway to know survival and death, the beginning of the end of all kinds of plans, the reason of people's hearts, the understanding of change, and the door of guarding. Therefore, the saint is also in the world, since ancient times, and his way is also one. ”

It is to the effect that the saints from ancient times to the present have achieved the goal of governing the world by observing the changes of things, speculating on people's hearts, and grasping the laws of the operation of all things.

To say this is tantamount to ignoring the moral education of the saint and completely subverting the image of the saint.

When everyone heard this, they all frowned, obviously quite disagreeable.

The Taoist side was even more indignant, and the Taoist said: "The sage should do nothing and teach without words." As he says, isn't the saint a villain who fools the world?"

Xiao Yi set the goal of "I want to be holy", and he has studied the way of saints. At this time, it sounded different from what everyone else thought. He secretly said: "A saint is also a mortal body, like Mr. Wan said, a saint who has no desires and no desires, and is dedicated to the public, will not see one of them in the world, and almost does not exist in the world. Most of the saints throughout the ages are also morally outstanding and good at edification, and there is still a certain gap between them and the real saints in Mr. Wan's mouth, so they can only be called pseudo-saints. ”

"And if the pseudo-saint wants to rule the world, he has to take some means, and its essence should be the same as what Lin Yuehe said. Moreover, human nature is inherently evil, and there are always those who do not obey moral education, and even the true saints must use some strategies to do so. ”

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi let out a long breath and sighed: "In this way, the saint is not as holy as we imagined. ”

Sure enough, as he thought, Lin Yuehe had already preached: "Everything changes endlessly, and each has its own return." or yin or yang, soft or rigid, open or closed, relaxed or open. Therefore, the saint guards his door, examines his order, measures his power, and corrects his tricks. It can be broken, but it can be closed. In this way, everything can be done first. ”

Xiao Yi nodded and said: "Yes, the saint can only convince the world by measuring the strengths and weaknesses of the world, and then using the vertical and horizontal techniques." The way of nature is to do nothing. The saint does not teach without saying anything, but does nothing, and uses the art of vertical and horizontal to do nothing. The way of the saints is not contrary to the way of nature. Although the ghost family's vertical and horizontal techniques are a little disgraceful, as long as the person who makes the policy has good intentions and is harmless to others, why can't it be used by others?"

After that, Lin Yuehe successively taught "internal strength", "reaction", "resistance to play", "flying hoops", "speculation", "friction" and other vertical and horizontal strategies, which can be horizontal, can be vertical, strategizing, and can really play with everything in the world between applause.

The more the sentient beings listened, the more frightened they became, and the scene was very quiet, almost audible when a pin dropped.

Xiao Yi was also completely attracted by the way of vertical and horizontal, and the expression on his face changed several times, and he understood it from time to time.

"Wisdom can be used for what many cannot know, but can be used for what many cannot do. Conspiracy is invisible, often better than not fighting, this is the essence of vertical and horizontal!" When Lin Yuehe ended his argument with this remark, all beings were still in a terrible nightmare of intrigue, unable to speak for a long time, and the scene was still dead and silent.

Among them, one of them suddenly sighed softly and said, "It turns out that this is the way I have been looking for 'to measure the situation'!" (To be continued.) )
