Ye Feng came here this time to find "Mr. Yangming" in the Jade Book of Conscience. As for the purpose, to put it simply, it is to use the back door. Objectively speaking, Ye Feng is so powerful that he can force anyone in the world to do anything. Even if the other party has a firm will of "rather die than obey", it is meaningless in front of Ye Feng's "other gods". However, Ye Feng did not do that. He still lowered his status to come to the other party and discuss relevant matters on an equal footing with the other party.
In this world, what can really impress and awe others is never the show of force when one is strong, nor is it the morality and righteousness when one is weak, but when one is strong enough, one still considers the balance of interests in all aspects. The wisdom of treating people and things with a win-win attitude.
Just like what Ye Feng is doing at this moment.
Maybe you want to ask why Ye Feng cares so much. Even if his partners encounter disaster, it is what they should encounter in their lives, and it is also an opportunity for others to learn and benefit from suffering. Ye Feng should not interfere forcefully and deprive others of the opportunity to grow. He should let nature take its course and do nothing before he can do anything.
What I want to say is, how could Ye Feng not understand this truth. But "things depend on people". Even if Ye Feng knew that he couldn't do it, he would not just accept his fate, because Ye Feng has never been the kind of person to accept his fate. Otherwise, Ye Feng, the Millennium Demon King, would not have returned to the present and cut off the future. For Ye Feng, there's no harm in "doing something you know you can't do". Besides, Ye Feng just hopes that Ren Xiaojin and the others will not encounter danger during their training, so Ye Feng just wants to ask Mr. Yang Ming to give everyone appropriate care.
As for why Ye Feng was able to set Mr. Yangming free?
When Mr. Yangming originally set the rules, he only used the derivation rules of the original code, so Ye Feng, who can use the original code, can naturally change the derivation rules. In fact, this is not difficult to understand, and there is nothing remarkable about it. And the same original code, although it has the same origin, can still derive several different or even completely opposite rules. This is also in line with the principle of "the opposite is the way to move", so it is not surprising.
But "Mr. Yangming" in the Conscience Jade Book understood this and realized that Ye Feng's strength level had exceeded the limit that he could imagine. That's why he said, "A treasure like the Jade Book of Conscience is not qualified to be a treasure worthy of your companionship."
. . .
Ye Feng said: "Brother Wang is so willing to open the back door for me, doesn't it violate your principles?"
Mr. Yang Ming glanced at Ye Feng angrily and said: "You are not a person who will stick to your principles until death. As your treasure, no, your friend, there is nothing strange about being more flexible in your principles. And once If I don't agree, with your ability you will be able to surpass me and do that kind of thing. And I will also be beaten, right?"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "I just don't want to overstep my bounds." He just kept silent about wanting to beat up Mr. Yangming. It seems that Ye Feng will definitely beat him up when the time comes.
Mr. Yangming's eyelids twitched slightly and said: "Besides, I have not violated the principle. I will never allow fraud in the test. I would rather die than exceed that principle. However, in the secret realm of unity, there is no prohibition in the treasure rules to provide help, so naturally it is up to me. Make your own decision. Besides, you have given me the most precious freedom, and I should repay it. Accepting kindness from others without thinking about repaying it, even Mr. Yangming himself would not disdain it."
So the two drank another bowl of wine.
Mr. Yangming said: "Brother Ye, you just said that we should drink and discuss Tao. Now, after drinking, can we discuss Tao?"
Ye Feng said: "Okay, but since this is not an assessment, how about everyone taking turns asking each other questions?"
Mr. Yangming said: "Okay, I'll go first. Brother Ye, you said the golden mean is the biggest feature of Confucianism. So what is the golden mean?"
Ye Feng picked up a bowl of wine and said: "The fragrant grass in the world has lost its way back, and the diseased leaves are still blocked by a night of frost. The world is so difficult, and the root cause lies in people themselves. Too many people are trapped in a few taels of broken silver, firewood, rice, oil and salt, and worry about gains and losses. .
"Human nature is inherently evil, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. "Xunzi discusses war" writes: "There are three techniques for combining people: there are those who use virtue to combine people, there are those who use strength to combine people, and there are those who use wealth to combine people. "Xunzi means that if you want to be superior to others, you must step on others. People who like to do this kind of thing the most are called "Xiang Yuan" by Confucius. Xiang Yuan means that the people in the village seem to be polite, but in fact they are different from the customs. Hypocrites who are colluding probably refer to hypocrites, bad people and people who stand on the moral high ground, that is, those who seem to be honest but actually have no moral principles and only know the trend of vulgarity. The real golden mean must first resist What is removed is the kind of person who wishes to live in his hometown.
"The Doctrine of the Mean comes from "The Doctrine of the Mean" in Confucian culture. As the saying goes, be impartial, grasp both ends, and stick to the middle. It basically includes three levels of theory:
One is: the middle is not biased, the mediocre is not easy. It means not deviating from one's goals and opinions in life.
The second is: righteousness and peace. People need to maintain uprightness and peace. If they lose their uprightness and peace, it must be caused by excessive joy, anger, sadness, and joy. Anger can only be cured by joy. Excessive happiness can only be cured by propriety. The method of keeping etiquette is to respect. Only by maintaining a heart of respect or awe can justice and peace be preserved forever, and people's health be protected.
The third one is: middle-use and useful. To put it simply, everyone should perform their duties and be a useful person.
"So "The Doctrine of the Mean" says: "Sincerity is the way of heaven. Sincerity is the way of man. A sincere person achieves success without trying hard, achieves without thinking, and calmly hits the right path. This is also a sage. Those who are sincere are those who choose the good but are stubborn. "
"The theoretical basis of the Golden mean is the unity of nature and man. There are three main principles of the Golden mean: one is to practice alone with caution, the other is to be loyal and tolerant, and the third is to be sincere and devoted to one's nature. Of course, in addition, there are also believers, friends, and relatives Principles such as honesty, integrity, and kindness
"To talk about the mean, we must talk about the Tao. The Tao cannot be separated from the goal. Life without the goal will lose its meaning. The Doctrine of the Mean is about seeking a neutral goal and path rather than an extreme one-sided goal and path.
"As the saying goes, "There is no such thing as nothing." There is nothing that is pre-set to be feasible, and there is nothing that is pre-set to be unfeasible. It is about making the most balanced choice at every critical node of the encounter. Joy, anger, sorrow, and joy When the hair is released, it is all knotted in the middle, which is the time of the saint.
The result of going to extremes is either being forced by others or forcing others. Behind the fight to the death, it is all due to the selfishness of those hypocrites, bad people, and those who occupy the moral high ground. It's because of the bad nature of human nature.
"So the golden mean is to be neither wrong nor too inferior, to obey others rather than to accept others, to move people with emotion and to understand them with reason. At the same time, we do not evade responsibilities and obligations, to determine common sense in subtlety, and to grasp certainty in uncertainty. This is the golden mean. The destiny of virtue upholding.”
