Chapter 108: Sour Confucian Fusu
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "We will discuss the specific situation after we leave the village. When others asked, they all said that the person ran away."
"promise."
"Where is sir?" Ying Zheng asked, "Didn't he say that he would prepare a delicious breakfast for me last night? Where is he?"
"Reporting to the village chief, sir, I went to draw a map of the world." Meng Yi said.
Then he repeated what Qin An had just said to him.
Ying Zheng was shocked and said: "Sir, he said that China now has 1.6 billion people, but he never mentioned the world, let alone the world map."
"My husband also accidentally started chatting with me. He mainly told me that merchants bear the taxes of the entire country. This is completely different from Great Qin." Meng Yi said.
"I understand." Ying Zheng said, "Sir, you told me about merchants. In the future, there will be a dynasty that uses business methods to wipe out all the nearby tiger and wolf countries.
This sounds so unbelievable, but it is real. If you have the opportunity, you should ask about it carefully so that it can be used by Da Qin in the future. "
"promise."
"By the way, you came back overnight last night. You must be very tired. Let's go for a while first. Only after you have rested can you listen to your husband's stories." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Thank you, village chief, for your concern. I'm not tired." Meng Yi said.
"It doesn't matter. Everyone goes to work during the day. Just go and rest. This is an order." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Thank you, village chief." Meng Yi responded.
It was hard to disobey the king's orders, so he had no choice but to rest.
Ying Zheng smiled, then walked to the stone table and sat down.
Fu Su opened the door and saw that Ying Zheng had woken up, so he fetched a basin of water and walked towards Ying Zheng.
Put the basin in front of Ying Zheng, put the towel into the water, fish it out and wring it out, then handed it to Ying Zheng and said, "Father, please wash your face."
Ying Zheng looked at Fusu, smiled slightly and said, "I never thought that I could be like ordinary people and enjoy my son's service."
Fusu suddenly felt sad and said, "Father, my child will serve you every day from now on."
"That's not necessary, as long as you don't make me angry," Ying Zheng said.
To be honest, Fusu made Ying Zheng angry too many times.
Fusu was stunned for a moment, with an expression that was hard to explain, which made Ying Zheng's face darken.
"What, now at this juncture, what if you deceive me?" Ying Zheng said dissatisfiedly, and the emotion he just felt was gone.
Fu Su said: "A gentleman is magnanimous and can do things or not. Children must do what they can do. If they can't do it, they can't do it. The child will not deceive his father because of this."
"You are so pedantic." Ying Zheng said angrily.
"My child has let his father down. My child is sorry for his father." Fusu then knelt down and said, "Please punish me."
The movement in the yard immediately attracted the attention of others.
Young Master Gao and General Lu immediately walked over and said, "Please calm down my father and spare my brother."
Ying Zheng said angrily: "What do you know? Shut up."
Prince Gao and General Lu also knelt down because Ying Zheng was angry.
Everyone else turned a blind eye to him and found it inconvenient to participate in Ying Zheng's family affairs.
However, there is one exception, and that is Qin An.
Qin An, who was drawing a map of the world, heard the noise and walked out of the room, finding Fusu and three others kneeling in front of Ying Zheng. Then he asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"
Ying Zheng said: "Sir, you are here just in time. This kid Zhao Su is so angry with me. I ask you to discipline him for me."
"Village chief, don't be anxious." Qin An said, "Zhao Su, tell me, why does your father make you so angry?"
"No." Fusu responded.
He immediately recounted what had just happened.
"Sir, there are things a gentleman can and cannot do. Isn't Confucius's statement wrong?"
"Sir, look, look, what is this kid saying? Can't you even coax me?" Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice.
Qin An slapped his forehead and said, "What about God? Zhao Su, you were so successfully brainwashed."
"What do you mean by this, sir?" Fusu asked.
"Oh, that's not the point." Qin An didn't bother to explain, "First tell me the origin of this sentence, and then explain its meaning."
"Nuo." Fusu said, "This sentence comes from the "Rites and Rites" chapter of "The Analects of Confucius".
The whole sentence should be: A gentleman does something and doesn't do something, and a villain also does something and doesn't do something. However, what a gentleman does is a great responsibility sent from heaven, while what a villain does is only for self-interest.
It means: A gentleman acts magnanimously. If he can do something, he can do it; if he can't, he can't do it.
The same is true for villains. They only do villain things and never do gentleman things.
Gentlemen do great things, while villains do mercenary things. I can't do it without making my father angry. If I lie to my father, I will be a villain.
Do my father and husband want to see me become a villain? "
"Stupid, you are really stupid." Ying Zheng said angrily, "Will coaxing me make you a villain?"
Qin An covered his forehead again and said: "Oh my god, Zhao Su, who did you learn from before? Even if you learn from Confucianism, you can't understand Confucius' words casually."
"What do you mean by this, sir? I really can't understand it. I am a student of Dr. Chun Yuyue."
"Descendants."
Before Fusu finished speaking, Qin An was the first to speak.
"I almost forgot. It turns out that you are following the descendants of Chun Yuyue. No wonder you are self-centered like Chun Yuyue and think that what you do is right and what others do is wrong.
Especially those who oppose the Analects of Confucius, no, those who oppose the Analects of Confucius of yours are wrong.
You have the final say in the entire world, and what you say is the truth. "
"Sir." Fusu said displeased, "Sir, what you said makes no sense. When did I say such a thing? Sir, this is a frame-up and a false accusation. Zhao Su refuses to accept it."
"Are you still not convinced?" Ying Zheng sneered, "Sir, your understanding is very thorough. Just like Chun Yuyue's descendants, you have become a sour scholar."
Qin An said: "Zhao Su, as I said last time, Chun Yuyue is a self-righteous guy. In order to become famous for himself, he will do whatever it takes. If his descendants do not make any progress or change, then you will inherit it from him. It’s just that he inherited his self-righteousness.
Moreover, this person has no emotional intelligence. In the eyes of others, he is the kind of person who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
Forget it, Chunyu Yue has been dead for more than two thousand years, so I can't afford to compete with him.
Zhao Su, a gentleman has something to do and something not to do. Confucius told everyone to do something, to do good deeds and to accumulate virtue, to be diligent, not to do any evil, and never to do bad or bad things. This means refraining from doing any evil and practicing all good deeds. "
