Soon Zhao Gao rushed back to Chuili from Xianyang. Looking at Ziyou who was teaching Chuli Yi about benevolence, righteousness and morality, Zhao Gao couldn't help but lean over to listen.
"Teacher, is the benevolence you are talking about really the benevolence that Confucius said?" Qi Liyi looked at Ziyou and asked blankly.
"Of course, what do you think a person who is nine feet two tall, moves like a cunning rabbit, and can reach the city gates is called benevolence? The technique of splitting a person in two is called benevolence." Ziyou explained.
"Why is righteousness the power that hammers a person's head into his chest?" Chuiliyi asked, smacking his tongue.
"What else? Mencius said that tyranny is stronger than a tiger. Let me ask you what Mencius's name is?" Ziyou asked.
"Ke?" Chu Liyi said.
"So the meaning of this sentence is that Meng Ke is officially more powerful than a tiger." Ziyou said.
Not only Qi Liyi was stunned, but also Zhao Gao, who was eavesdropping on the side, began to doubt his understanding of benevolence and righteousness. But as a disciple of Confucian Xunzi and the second master of Xiaoshengxianzhuang, it is impossible for Ziyou to distort these classics, right? Is this the true explanation of benevolence and righteousness? But the world has been misunderstood?
"Are you sure?" Qi Liyi felt that he had the wrong teacher.
"What do you think Confucian knowledge is?" Ziyou asked.
"Teach people to be kind and persuade kings to practice benevolent government?" Qi Liyi asked.
"Confucius traveled around the world. In this era, do you think a man with no strength can travel around the world? Can he still make the kings listen to him seriously and say a kind word in the end?" Ziyou asked.
"No." Qi Liyi thought for a while and said.
"So ordinary people, let alone traveling around the country, may be robbed whenever they go out. But what about Confucius? He traveled around the country with his seventy-two sages and three thousand disciples. Do you think he was the disciple he led? He led seven Twelve grandmasters, three thousand men who can scold five at one time, and an army with ten men in martial arts, do you think anyone who meets such a person would not listen to his words?" Ziyou said.
Qi Liyi was shocked. He didn't expect that this was actually the case, and Zhao Gao was even more stupid. Is this really Confucianism? Why does it sound more and more like a gang of robbers?
"You have to remember that the ultimate debate is physical debate. If you want people to listen to you, you must have the capital to make people sit down and listen to you. If you can debate or fight, you can only be called a lobbyist. And rangers, those who are learned and can fight are called great scholars!" Ziyou said.
Ziyou's words made Qi Liyi and Zhao Gao fall into deep thought. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was true.
Take the two major sects of today as an example. The Mo family is a group of guys who are like troublemakers. Every time a big country attacks a small country, they will come out to help the small country. Not only are they fine, but they have become the sect of today.
Not to mention Confucianism. In the words of later generations, Confucianism is the biggest troll, and it is still a troll that can't be scolded. One sentence can ruin a family's reputation. The Mohist family should restrain themselves and build their lair in the mountains, making it difficult for others to find them. , and the Confucianists directly built the Little Sage Village in Songhai, but no one dared to provoke it. Isn't this the reason?
Qiao Liyi looked at Ziyou and felt something was wrong, but something was right. Ziyou looked at Qiao Liyi's doubts and shook his head. Qiao Liyi was not Wu Hehou. He had too many things on his back, including family, mission, country, so what he studied was destined to be practical.
Confucianism can only help him cultivate his moral character and prevent him from forgetting his original intention. Ziyou wonders whether he should acquire the knowledge of Guigu. It is obvious that the knowledge of the strategist is more suitable for Qi Liyi. As for why Confucian disciple Qi Liyi should learn it Zongheng? After Chuiliyi, didn’t Zongheng have the surname Ru? Where does Confucian righteousness come from? Isn't it just a debate between Mencius and Mozi, while calling the Mohists a beast and cutting off the lineage of Qi Mo (Mo Bian), while quietly absorbing their doctrines, allowing Confucianism to change from the aristocratic and aristocratic inner sage's self-cultivation , gradually came into being the study of foreign kings that benefited the world, that is, Confucianism and Xia.
But asking Ziyou to argue with Guiguzi, Ziyou felt it was unnecessary. He was not stupid enough to provoke a great master.
Zhao Gao came out of his deep thoughts and knocked on the door gently.
"Sir, Zhao Gao wants to see you." Zhao Gao saluted outside the door and said.
"Come in."
Zhao Gao pushed the door open, bowed to Ziyou and said
"Sir, the court meeting is over. Just as you expected, Lord Chang'an lost the threat to the king. Lord Changping of the Chu clan went to the harem after the court meeting, and then paid homage to the king. The Chu clan turned to the king."
"As expected, the Queen Mother Huayang was impatient and wanted to use the power of Mi Shuo and other old four nobles to test it, but she didn't expect that stealing the chicken would end up losing the rice." Ziyou said.
In fact, this matter is also the short-sightedness of Mi Shuo and Chang'an Jun. They are so close at this juncture and do not avoid suspicion at all. As long as someone wants to use the topic as a leverage, it will be used as a leverage, especially when their opponents are Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji. What is this? This is a combination of relatives and powerful heroes. This kind of combination is always the best combination no matter what dynasty it is placed in. Everyone has to be careful, otherwise there will be no good results.
"After this time, the king has his own confidants in the court. The king asked me to ask sir this time. Although the affairs of Lord Chang'an have been completed, the locust control is still difficult to promote. The people are still afraid of the locust plague. What can I do, sir?" Zhao Gao asked.
Ziyou pondered for a moment, worshiping ghosts and gods is indispensable in this era. The only thing that can be done is to distinguish worship and superstition, so that people will no longer be obsessed with and superstitious about ghosts and gods, but treat them with awe. Ghosts and gods, there is only one way to do this, use magic to defeat magic.
"Just tell the king to wait for three more days. There will be a way to solve this matter by then," Ziyou said.
"No! There is one more thing. Qin Mo sent people to meet the king. They want to meet Mr. Zhao Gao said.
"Qin Mo?" Ziyou was a little surprised.
After the death of Mozi, the Mohists in various places gradually dispersed into three factions: Qin Mo, who was the leader of the Xiang Li family, Chu Mo, who was the leader of the Deng Ling family, and Qi Mo, who was the leader of the Xiang Fu family.
Deng Lingzi of Chu Mo, this sect is more of a knight, doing justice everywhere. They oppose wars in various countries and believe that these wars are launched by the powerful for their own interests and are not beneficial to the people. They measure the world by their own values. The current Mohist Six-fingered Black Man also belongs to the Mohist lineage. Now the largest line of the Mohist family, this line is also the most famous for what it has done, such as helping Chu Yangjun defend the city, Deng Lingzi leading the god-killing troops to attack Shang Yang, etc.
Qi Mo's Xiangfuzi, this sect is a sect that mainly focuses on scholar debates. They travel around the world and teach the Mohist idea of universal love. They oppose the use of violence to solve problems and hope to use gentle methods to achieve peace. This is also ideological. The most fanciful sect, Qi Mo was then defeated by Confucianism and fled, and the inheritance was cut off. So far, no descendants claiming to be of the Mo Bian lineage have appeared.
As for Qin Mo's Xiang Liqin, they are more like engineers and scientists of later generations. They focus on scientific and technological research and are very pragmatic. The reason for helping Qin was also because they saw that only the system of Qin at that time was closest to the Mohist family's final vision, so they were willing to help Qin complete the unification war and establish the country in their imagination.
"Yes." Zhao Gao said.
"Qin Mo? No see." Ziyou touched his chin and said. Qin Mo is still beneficial to Qin. If they really met, Ziyou felt that he would not be able to help but attack them. Who wouldn't be greedy for so many technical talents? ah?
