The scariest thing?
Fusu looked confused, not knowing what the teacher said was related to the question he asked.
But he still pondered the answer to this question.
What is the scariest thing in this world?
Fusu pondered for a moment and then said: "Teacher, I think God is the most terrifying thing."
When Chen Ke asked him questions, Fusu had automatically entered into the identity of a disciple.
Today, he is not the eldest son of Da Qin, but a disciple discussing issues with his teacher.
Chen Ke shook his head slightly.
“Although God is wrathful and can cause fields to dry up, rain to pour down and floods to break out, it can be controlled by human power.”
“Opening canals and creating human rivers are all methods that shake the heavens.”
"What's more, the way of heaven is eternal, and it will not perish for Jie or survive for Yao."
"Therefore, God is not the most terrifying thing."
When Fusu heard this answer, although he was a little confused, he felt that this was indeed the answer that his teacher could tell.
So continue to meditate.
After a moment, Fusu raised his head again and said, "Teacher, could it be war and troubled times?"
Chen Ke had some relief on his face. He looked at Fusu and said, "Although it's still wrong, the fact that you can think of this means that your thinking has reached a higher place."
He said softly: "When a hero comes out, he can single-handedly put an end to the troubled times, settle the war, and unify the world from then on."
Chen Ke looked at Fusu and said, "Your Majesty is such a heroic figure in troubled times."
"So war is not the most terrible thing in the world."
Fusu scratched his head with a blank look on his face.
He said tentatively: "Then... the most terrifying thing is my father?"
Chen Ke smiled dumbly.
This answer really surprised him all of a sudden. He didn't expect Fusu to say this answer.
However, it is still within his control.
Chen Ke's expression did not change and he continued: "Your Majesty is the ancestor of the world, the first emperor, the third emperor of virtue, and the achievements of the five emperors. He is naturally a first-class figure in the world."
"It's just that everything in the world has a beginning and an end."
"Even this God will die one day."
"Furthermore, His Majesty is kind and kind, how can he be called terrifying?"
Fusu was stunned by Chen Ke's answer. He said with a blank look on his face: "Then..."
"Is it life or death?"
Chen Ke shook his head again.
"Life and death are the most difficult things to understand in the world, but how can this be considered the most terrifying thing?"
"Everyone is mortal. Death may be lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai."
"Mencius said, life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. You cannot have both. You must sacrifice life for righteousness."
"Since there are sages who can understand life and death, they sacrifice their lives for righteousness."
"How can life and death be the most terrifying thing?"
Fusu made a respectful look, looked at Chen Ke humbly and said, "Then I dare to ask the teacher, what is the most terrifying thing in the world?"
"This star really wants to retire"
Chen Ke smiled, pointed at Fusu, and then at himself.
"The most terrifying thing in the world is the human heart and "habits". "
Chen Ke seemed to be sighing with emotion: "There is a chance of death in the sky, but if someone wants to harm you, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?"
He shook his head and said, "That's why the human heart is one of the most terrifying things."
Fusu looked confused.
He could understand that the human heart is one of the most terrible things, but he could not understand how the answer had anything to do with the question he asked.
Chen Ke looked at Fusu and continued: "The second point is habit."
Chen Ke asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"Fusu, you still study for three hours a day and deal with government affairs for three hours a day. Are you strict with yourself?"
"Are you still completing your homework every day as you did before?"
The question was asked abruptly, but Fusu's cheeks suddenly turned a little red.
His fingers were curling back and forth in his sleeves, looking a little embarrassed.
But Fusu still replied: "Teacher, disciple... Disciple now no longer insists on studying for three hours a day and dealing with government affairs for three hours."
"Class...class...the homework has been delayed a bit and has not been completed yet."
Chen Ke smiled slightly: "Don't feel ashamed about this, this is what I said you are used to."
"You are used to imitating me, so you have unconsciously picked up some of my habits."
"When you get used to some of my habits, you will get used to being lazy and getting used to procrastinating."
Chen Ke seemed to be saying with emotion: "Fusu, think about it, are you very different between you now and you half a year ago?"
"Have you noticed these changes yourself?"
Fusu was stunned for a moment when he said this. He looked at Chen Ke in front of him and then at himself.
The self half a year ago keeps popping up in my mind...
This is not only a big difference, it is simply a world of difference...
Fusu even felt like a second teacher, just as lazy and as salty.
He sat there as if struck by lightning, with a look of doubt on his face.
Chen Ke smiled while stroking his hands.
"This is the power of habit."
"Unless you have a very strong will, you get used to your surroundings very quickly."
"You will unconsciously integrate with the surrounding environment and absorb other people's habits, thereby turning them into your own habits."
“Even the very thing of absorbing other people’s habits is already a ‘habit’. "
Chen Ke smiled slightly, looked at Fusu and said, "Fusu, now do you know the power of habit?"
Fusu was speechless. He didn't know what to say, but he seemed to have grasped that little bit of inspiration in a hazy state.
"So, teacher, you let those students from the essay competition stay in Baijia Palace to slowly change them?"
Chen Ke touched his palm: "Yes, I want to change them subtly."
"In this regard, Prime Minister Li actually did a good job."
"Prime Minister Li strongly urged the implementation of Shu Tong Wen, and this is also the case."
"He wants the people to acquiesce in their habits that they are a part of Da Qin."
Chen Ke looked at Fusu and said, "Fusu, let me ask you."
"Do you still remember what you learned as a child?"
Fusu nodded immediately.
"Then do you still remember how you felt at that time?"
Fusu continued to nod.
Chen Ke then smiled and said: "What Chunyu Yue is doing is also a habit formation."
"He first made you accustomed to obeying him, and then made you accustomed to some Confucian classics. As you read, he subtly made you identify with Confucianism."
"And in this process, unless there is a strong external force affecting you, you will never have any doubts."
"I just think it's the right thing to do."
"And it's the same if I put them into the Palace of Hundreds of Palaces!"
"Whether it is the Palace of Literature or the Palace of Philosophy, whether it is the Palace of Science and Technology or the Palace of Law, or several other schools that have not yet been established."
"All their books must be reviewed by Your Majesty and I!"
"Then what they want to learn is under my and your Majesty's control, isn't it?"
Chen Ke said meaningfully: "In this case, wouldn't they become puppets in my hands?"
