Chapter 122: Fooling Li Shimin to his knees
"What do you mean by what the Taoist chief said?" Li Shimin's face was full of confusion, what should and should not be, he thought that Zhang Xuanqing would comfort himself, or simply reprimand himself, such an ambiguous answer was not what he thought.
I saw Zhang Xuanqing smile slightly, pointed to his expression and said: "Seeing that King Qin is in such pain now, I guess I didn't want to kill him when I was the killer, otherwise I wouldn't be so panicked and uneasy now." In this way, it can be seen that King Qin is not the kind of person who loves to kill. Moreover, King Qin was even more remorseful afterwards, as the saying goes, if the prodigal son does not change his money, he will inevitably make mistakes in this life. Therefore, if you are not afraid of people making mistakes, you are afraid that people will not admit their mistakes, as long as a person is willing to admit his mistakes and change them, then he can still be saved. ”
"Most people in the world today don't know what forgiveness is, but when they see someone who is half wrong, they cling to it. This one shouts that he should be killed, and that one shouts that he should die, standing on the commanding heights of morality, as soon as his upper lip touches his lower lip, he will condemn people to a huge crime that they will never be able to turn over. As everyone knows, there is no pure good or pure evil in the world, and people in this world are just mediocre people who have both good and evil. Even a world-famous good person may not have never done a single evil deed in his life, and even a great evil person with pus on the soles of his feet may not have done a good deed in his life. ”
In the view of the poor Dao, there is no absolute between good and evil, only relative, and there is no real person in the world who deserves to die, and there is no real person who does not deserve to die. If you don't believe in King Qin, some of the people in the world who do good deeds and accumulate virtue are indeed dedicated to goodness, but some people are atoning for their sins. What sins did he atone for? The sins he committed before he did good deeds! However, they did a good deed every day, helped the poor, and gave alms to the poor, were they really good deeds? Isn't the above-mentioned almsgiving to the poor and giving alms to some people of the idea of self-improvement? In the long run, everyone will look up to him and live on him, so it can be said that he is doing good?"
"This is what my Taoist Zhuangzi said, 'The saint does not die, and the thief does not stop': the great road is wasted, there is benevolence and righteousness, wisdom comes out, there is great hypocrisy, the six relatives are not in harmony, there is filial piety, the country is chaotic, and there are loyal ministers. All the so-called filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, faithfulness, chastity, honesty, etc., in the world are all products of humanity and abandonment, thus artificially flaunted. If everyone is born on patrol and the world is in order, how can there be a thief? Why do you need a saint? In terms of filial piety, the crow is born to feed, and there is no need to show filial piety, and he will do his duty to give back. However, if the maintenance for the purpose of focusing on highlighting 'filial piety' becomes a trend, and in the end, some people give up support because they cannot meet the so-called 'filial piety', so there are filial sons and unfilial piety. How can we do our duty of support? If everyone supports us, we will not be able to win over a few so-called filial sons? If everyone is in line, it is better than a group of people who are chaotic and only highlight a few people who are humble and good-quality?"
Therefore, Lao Ziyun: If you are not virtuous, you are virtuous, and if you are virtuous, you are not virtuous, but if you are not virtuous, you are not virtuous. The world changes, every day goes down, the loss of morality and then virtue, the loss of virtue and then benevolence, the loss of benevolence and then righteousness, and the loss of righteousness and then courtesy. The husband is the one who is faithful, and the head of the chaos. Therefore, Lao Tzu is also cloudy: absolute sainthood and abandonment of wisdom, the people benefit a hundred times, absolute benevolence and abandonment of righteousness, the people restore filial piety, absolute ingenuity and abandonment of profit, there are no thieves. Therefore, the real saint and good person should do nothing, do nothing, have no taste, how big or small, repay grievances with virtue, and do nothing without doing anything. This is 'the way of heaven, benefit but not harm, and the way of saints, for the sake of not fighting'!"
Of course, when he says all this, he does not mean to despise the good people in the eyes of the world and to rebuke them for their actions. After all, what they have done is indeed worthy of praise according to reason and from the bottom of their hearts, and they have indeed helped some people in need. However, there is still such a saying in the world: if you have a heart for good, although you are good, you will not be rewarded, and if you have no intention for evil, although you will not be punished. Whether the 'good' deeds they do are good causes and good results, or evil causes and evil results, God will not reward or punish them. ”
"Let's go back to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, now that you have killed the crown prince, the king of Qi and the heirs, it has become a fact, but the deceased is long, and the living are like Sifu, after all, they have become a thing of the past, and the king of Qin should look forward. For example, the character of the crown prince and the king of Qi has also been heard of by the poor road, and if they are allowed to win the world, it will not be the blessing of the people. In this way, whether the King of Qin killed them was a great evil of fratricidal brotherhood or a great good to save the people, this is by no means something that anyone can comment. However, after all, the crown prince is dead, and after he ascends the throne, none of us can make up our minds whether it will be a curse or a blessing to the people of the world, whether it is now or in the future. Therefore, as the person concerned, King Qin must not comfort himself with 'he is saving the people of the world' and 'exonerate himself'. Otherwise, as the days go by, the mind will be easier, such as entering the abalone, and not smelling its smell for a long time, causing the evil thoughts in the heart to grow unconsciously, causing disaster. ”
"Therefore, according to the poor Dao, instead of repenting every day, or avoiding comforting himself, the king of Qin should exert his useful body and make a meritorious deed, which is far beyond what the crown prince can cause even if the crown prince ascends the throne, and 'atone' for himself. Poor Dao knows that this time is different from ancient times, the times are developing, the society is progressing, and then I Taoist inaction and self-taught teaching, my Datang will inevitably lag behind. Don't talk about it far away, just say that ******, and now he is eyeing my Datang. If you really want to implement my Taoist policy, unless the world is in harmony, there is no nationality, no country, no race, everywhere to learn from Laozhuang, everyone learns the way of Huang Lao, can be made. If not, the Chinese nation should have the disaster of ruining the family and the country! Therefore, the poor road does not ask the king of Qin to ascend the throne in the future and greatly promote Taoism, but only hopes that the king of Qin can be honest and love the people, form the hearts of the people, have good customs, and preserve discipline, the inner and outer kings, the sages who are close to the sages, and the sages who are far away from slander, govern the country like a family, love the people like a son, and take care of the country and the people of the Tang Dynasty, the wind and rain are smooth, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the road is not left behind, the night is not closed, the Quartet is taught to congratulate, and all the countries come to the court! In this way, even if the later generations of historians, who dares to say that the King of Qin is wrong? This move is to block the mouth of the world, and the second is to relieve the depression in the heart of King Qin. As long as King Qin creates a prosperous dynasty that is unparalleled, he will be right for the people of the world, and worthy of the reason why you killed the prince and the king of Qi, and now he naturally does not deserve to die. But if not, then I am sorry for the people of the world, sorry for the reason why you killed the prince and the king of Qi, and now you naturally deserve to die. So the poor Dao said, His Royal Highness deserves to die, and he doesn't deserve to die!"
The words were sonorous and powerful, clear and organized, from shallow to deep, from deep to shallow, teaching Li Shimin's eyes to become brighter and brighter, his expression became more and more excited, and a sense of pride was born in his heart.
After Zhang Xuanqing finished saying the last word, Li Shimin got up suddenly, pushed the golden mountain down like a jade pillar, and fell down in front of Zhang Xuanqing with a bang, shouting: "Thank you for your advice!"
Zhang Xuanqing was taken aback, and hurriedly went to help: "King Qin, please hurry up, people who are poor and don't dare to be such a big gift as King Qin......"
