"Confucianism and Taoism are one of the hundreds of schools of thought."
Li Chungang stroked his beard and explained: "Historians, doctors, farmers, Mohists, Legalists, etc., all became one under the great power of Confucius, which means..."
“Anyone from any school of thought can become a Confucian!”
"Baijia?" Lin Ke was a little surprised when he heard this: "As far as I know, some existences in Baijia have become despicable, such as storytellers in novels."
"Why can't a humble person follow Confucianism?" Li Chungang smiled and looked meaningfully into Lin Ke's eyes: "Isn't this what we are doing?"
Lin Ke looked solemn: "I would like to hear the details."
Li Chungang nodded with satisfaction and sat upright: "You are someone that His Majesty has met."
Lin Ke nodded.
The Holy Emperor is worth a fortune, and it is said that a single movement of his spiritual thoughts can cover the entire China. It is not difficult to "see" him.
"As you know, the government and the opposition are mainly divided into two factions. One is those who support the elimination of the distinction between common and lowly birthplaces, and the other are those who do not support it."
Li Chungang slowly narrated: "The reason why I don't support it is very simple. It is actually a punishment mechanism for people with low status."
"Those who are punished are those who violate human ethics and laws, such as storytellers. Many storytellers used to tell stories from other people's books without permission."
Lin Ke expressed understanding.
Indeed, that is what intellectual property is.
Many people always like to have sex for free and will not pay as long as it is free.
It's okay to return to the imperial court in the previous life, after all, it can't be controlled.
But what now?
It is estimated that not to mention the Holy Emperor, even a minister can influence the laws of the world.
"These despicable books were passed down from generation to generation because someone in our ancestors committed a crime. Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and mice give birth to sons who can dig holes."
"Most Confucian books are immersed in reading, most Taoist books are immersed in enlightenment, and most Buddhist books are immersed in ascetic practice, so they can become the upper class."
"Those with ordinary citizenship will live a mediocre life, be mediocre, do nothing, and have no real right to speak."
"Therefore, many people directly do human things. Those with high status represent good, those with ordinary status are ignorant and have no distinction between good and evil, and those with low status are all evil!"
Hearing this, Lin Ke frowned.
One size fits all!
What bothers him the most is this one-size-fits-all, map cannon and the like.
For example, in previous lives, people often said that people in a certain area were stingy and people in a certain area were generous, but this can only be regarded as an overview.
Is it true that there are no generous people in this entire area? Is it true that there are no stingy people in this entire area?
It is extremely excessive to attach a holistic characteristic label to an individual.
Just like women must be weak and men must be strong.
The world is always beautiful because of its diversity.
Every person is different, every species is different, every living individual is different.
How can you say that all human beings are kind?
How can you be sure that all humans are evil?
Lin Ke preferred to use a dialectical approach, so he also spoke at this time:
"Teacher, we were born free, why are some people born to be aloof?"
"When we are first born, all things are like white snow, pure and flawless. Our human race has the same limbs and five similar bodies. Because they are different, how can we determine good and evil?"
All things are the same when they are first born, as pure and flawless as white snow. The same is true for us humans, with similar bodies.
It's just that human races are different due to different factors such as parents and environment, but how can we determine the good and evil of individual human races based on these?
Lin Ke's speech was normal at first, but when he asked the last rhetorical question, there was a rumble echo in the room.
Li Chungang couldn't help being horrified when he saw this: "Stop it! This is the voice of the Holy Path! The battle for the Holy Path is extremely dangerous. You haven't been naturalized yet, and you haven't decided which path to take, so don't be hasty!"
Lin Ke exhaled slowly and nodded: "Teacher, I know."
His voice also regained its original tone.
Li Chungang couldn't help but be a little stunned when he looked at his apprentice.
Originally, he just wanted to introduce some things to Lin Ke, but who knew that he would actually lead to the Voice of the Holy Path?
"At the beginning of human beings, nature is inherently good and nature is inherently evil, there are two different views." Li Chungang warned: "The dispute between these two families is particularly serious, and both families have produced semi-sages, and both have semi-sage treasures. Intervening between the two families The combatants will be crushed by the whirlpool!"
"Didn't I also get involved in the whirlpool of right and wrong?" Lin Ke said softly: "I can accept the darkness, but only if I don't know the lighthouse, let alone the sun."
In previous lives, countless people have walked in darkness, and naturally they feel that the world is dark.
But when they see the light, it's different.
Lin Ke's tone was sincere and he was immediately silenced by Li Chungang.
He didn't ask why Lin Ke knew about the lighthouse and the sun.
He didn't ask Lin Ke what the lighthouse and the sun looked like in his mind.
Because he could feel that Lin Ke was actually very determined in his goal.
What he needs to do is not to interfere, but to advise and guide.
"I don't know what you have experienced in the Lin Mansion these years, and I don't know what big dream you have...but the teacher will support you." Li Chungang smiled and patted Lin Ke on the shoulder:
"You and I are similar in the holy way. I think your conduct, speech, etc. are all in line with my wishes. Are you willing to truly worship me as your teacher?"
Apprenticeship?
Lin Ke didn't know Li Chungang's past, but Lin Ke could feel Li Chungang's sincerity.
The master chooses the disciple.
A disciple also chooses a teacher.
Real master and apprentice are two-way choices.
Whether you are a disciple first or a master first, it is your choice.
Before, neither Li Chungang nor Lin Ke was actually very urgent, especially Li Chungang.
Fortunately for Lin Ke, he was sincerely studying and learning everything here.
But Li Chungang was different.
Li Chungang was originally entrusted by Qi Shangshu to teach Lin Ke.
Although he is very poor, it is because he has integrity, not because he is cheap.
If he really wants to take on a disciple, then it is estimated that countless children of princes and nobles will line up to do so.
There are not many people at the Confucian level.
"Teacher, I do." Lin Ke knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Li Chungang helped Lin Ke up with a smile: "Okay, then I will continue to tell you about the Holy Emperor's hesitation."
Lin Ke stood up, sat down again, and listened carefully.
"Today, the world of China is peaceful, but chaos has begun to appear. One saint once said: If you enter, you will be helpless, and if you leave, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish."
"Today in the Wei Dynasty, the four seas are completed, the territory is clear, the Holy Emperor has emerged, the world is pure, the country is in peace, and internal troubles have appeared. We, the people, are worried about disasters and use all the power of heaven to govern the people's livelihood."
"However, human and mental resources are also exhausted, and in the end countless people can only find two methods."
"Or, let your lowly status become fuel to illuminate the whole world and push it higher!"
"Or, let everyone become fuel and go towards the unknown!"
