When he said this, everyone in the hall was shocked.
All the learned men looked pale, including Chen Wenjie and Liu Changqing.
But the latter moved a step aside in a hurry, saying that he was just taking the lead in organizing today's Juren gathering and was not familiar with these people.
Qi Renjie took two steps forward and said that the person speaking now is my brother. Anyone who dares to quarrel with my brother will be quarreled with him.
The people eating melons around were also stunned, with expressions of doubt on their faces.
They co-authored a book that they had read all their lives, but they all read it wrong?
Zhu Ziyan also frowned tightly and couldn't help but ask, "Since the great scholars in the past dynasties didn't say anything, why did Mr. Lin want to reveal it? Aren't you afraid that the things that the saints worry about will happen?"
Hearing this, everyone looked over curiously.
Lin Bai glanced at the other person and said: "It's very simple, because Lin is not a saint, and he never demands himself to be a saint. Although the great scholars in the past dynasties are not saints, they are trying to be like saints, so they don't say anything."
"But Lin is quick-tongued and says whatever comes to his mind. He cannot remove evil thoughts from his heart like a saint."
“Furthermore, Lin’s words of flattery are that no one is perfect in terms of his deeds but his heart.”
When it comes to deeds, one doesn’t care about one’s heart, and when it comes to one’s heart, no one is perfect?
Everyone was thinking about this sentence and frowned.
Lin Bai continued: "The human heart is complicated and full of all kinds of distracting thoughts. I don't know whether a saint can get rid of distracting thoughts. Anyway, I can't. I believe that most people can't."
"For example, this young lady is wearing a veil now. I really want to know what kind of face is behind the veil. Is it a beautiful face, or is it pockmarked?"
Well?
The corners of Zhu Ziyan's eyes twitched fiercely.
Bai Ling opened his mouth wide, wondering what to say. How dare the princess tease her? This guy is simply...
Fortunately, the princess didn't get angry.
Lin Bai smiled and continued: "Just kidding, it's like these people."
He looked at Chen Wenjie and the others, "They united to attack me. I really want to drag them into a corner and beat them up."
"I even thought about turning General Wu into the fourth son of our family."
The whole place was in an uproar when these words came out.
It even got a lot of laughs.
But a certain shameless person didn't take it seriously at all and continued: "But this is just a thought. People all yearn for beautiful things. Is it wrong to think about it?"
"The saint hopes that people in the world can abandon evil thoughts, but Lin knows that he can't do it, so I can only ask myself not to take any action that violates morality."
"Just like now, I won't really lift the veil of the young ladies, nor will I really hit them. Of course, I can't beat them alone."
There was laughter again all around.
Bai Ling couldn't help but snort.
"If there is a person who thinks wildly all day long and has many bad things in his mind, but never takes action and instead often does good deeds, is such a person considered a villain?"
"On the other hand, a person always calls himself a saint, has the words of a saint in his mind, wants to educate the people, and cares about the country and the people, but they often do things that hurt others. Can such a person be considered a good person?"
"Don't think that such people don't exist. There are, and there are many more."
"If nothing else, let's just say that the women in this world have been driven to death by the chastity advertised by some of the highest moral figures. However, those people don't know it yet and think they are upholding tradition. Are such people considered good people?"
"Anyway, Lin doesn't think so. On the contrary, he is still a very evil person. No matter what excuse someone uses, as long as he hurts another innocent person, it cannot be considered a good thing."
"It doesn't matter what you think about your heart. People's hearts are complicated. Life is already very difficult. What's wrong with having a lustful thought? Lin feels that it doesn't matter what you think about, just treat it as the catharsis of your heart. There's nothing wrong with it."
"The key is behavior. As long as we don't do bad things or hurt others, we will live up to the teachings of the saints."
There was a dead silence in the hall. This idea was undoubtedly a bit ahead of its time.
Everyone was deep in thought.
Chen Wenjie and others did not refute again because there was no way to refute.
Because their hearts have been shaken.
Lin Bai glanced at them and said, "It seems you have nothing to say, okay! That's it for today!"
With that said, he prepared to leave.
Zhu Ziyan thought for a while and couldn't help but ask, "I dare to ask Mr. Lin, if human nature is inherently evil, how should we treat evil people?"
This bitch isn't done yet.
Lin Bai curled his lips, thought for a while and said: "According to the sage, education should be the main thing, but I think that not everyone can be educated. Like this barbarian invasion, if you reason with him and educate him with etiquette, is that useful?"
Zhu Ziyan's eyes lit up slightly, maybe she didn't expect Lin Bai to give this example, and immediately asked: "What should I do?"
"What else can I do? I'll fight of course!"
Lin Bai said, "I, Dali, have been taught by saints and have been a country of etiquette since ancient times. But remember, etiquette is only useful to those who practice etiquette. Those barbarians don't understand this. There is no restraint on the evil in their human nature. It is true." barbarian,"
"This is one of the reasons why I say that human nature is inherently evil, because if anything cannot be solved in the end, there is only one way, and that is force."
"One word, hit! Hit with one punch, or a hundred punches will come!"
"good!"
Some people couldn't help but cheer. Everyone might not agree with other things, but they all agreed with Hulu.
"Unfortunately, the Lord He Faction above the court does not think so. No wonder, they may not even be able to distinguish between the inherently good and evil nature of human nature."
"They expect the Hulu to be like the common people of Dali, and feel the enlightenment of saints and restrain themselves. This is simply a fantasy."
"The only way to deal with such people is to beat them! The only way to deal with them is to beat them!"
Everyone was a little excited.
Zhu Ziyan's bright eyes were also slightly bright, but soon dimmed again, and said: "But what if I can't beat him?"
Now that the treasury is empty and surrounded by wolves, Dali cannot afford to fight.
However, Lin Bai shook his head and said: "If you can win, you have to fight. If you can't win, you have to fight even more. Show your own determination and your own attitude. Only if you are more fierce than the enemy, will they respect you and be afraid of you!"
"Being patient for a while may not lead to calm, and taking a step back will not lead to a brighter future. It will only lead to the enemy's advancement."
"And if you retreat blindly, you will lose the hearts of the people, the integrity of the nation, and the confidence of the entire nation."
"Remember, there is only peace that can be fought, not negotiated. A strong nation must have its own integrity and bottom line, instead of blindly giving in."
The sonorous and powerful voice echoed, and the crowd was moved by it.
Zhu Ziyan was no exception, looking at Lin Bai, "National integrity? Bottom line?"
"good!"
Lin Bai replied, "Strength and weakness are only temporary, but the integrity cannot be lost and the bottom line cannot be compromised. A strong and confident nation must at least do these things."
"If there is no marriage, no indemnity, no land cession, no tribute, the emperor will guard the country, and the king will die in the country."
