Confucius actually killed someone. Maybe many people don’t know about it. Of course, many scholars believe that there is no such thing in history.
However, this incident is recorded in "Historical Records" written by Sima Qian. Although he did not explain in detail, he just said, "Suppress Dr. Lu and those who disrupt the government, Shao Zhengmao", but you have to consider that Sima Qian was in an environment where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism." If Sima Qian could mention "Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao", he could be called a warrior with conscience. After all, this sentence is already a "slander" against Confucius, the most sage teacher of Confucianism.
If it is not true, or if it is something that cannot be verified as true or false, Sima Qian goes against the general environment and says this, do you think Sima Qian is mentally retarded!
He has already been cut once, but he will not be cut by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty again.
Or do you think Sima Qian's "Historical Records" is not credible?
So what else can you believe?
Are you the kind of person who can deny that "the chicken coop collapsed" in the face of hard facts? !
In fact, after "Historical Records", Confucius' murders were recorded in various subsequent books, such as "Confucius' Family Sayings", "Yin Wenzi", "Shuo Yuan", etc.
However, the book "Confucius' Family Sayings" is not credible. I found "Xunzi" and "Confucius' Family Sayings" for comparison. The records in "Confucius' Family Sayings" are exactly the same as "Xunzi". They are undoubtedly plagiarized from "Xunzi". The Qing people confirmed that "Confucius' Family Sayings" was a "fake book" made by Wang Su of the Three Kingdoms, which further illustrates this point.
Therefore, some people dismissed this incident and said that this incident in "Xunzi" was fabricated to verify Xunzi's own views.
Everyone knows that if the example that supports your point of view in the argument is not a fact, then the example you gave itself will be a breakthrough for others to refute it.
Xunzi and Confucius are barely of the same era. Xunzi was from the Warring States Period, and Confucius was from the Spring and Autumn Period. There is a difference of more than a hundred years between the two. If what Xunzi told is a lie, do you think Xunzi is stupid or stupid?
The incident of Confucius killing people was first recorded in "Xunzi". If Xunzi is a Legalist, then forget it. After all, Confucius killed people from the Legalist family, so it makes sense for the Legalists to take revenge.
But Xunzi was a Confucian, and he was known as the "Later Sage" in Confucianism. In this Confucian system that pays attention to "propriety", Xunzi can use "Confucius kills people" as an example. Isn't it enough to illustrate the problem?
In fact, there is another piece of evidence that is not considered evidence, and that is that Confucius, the sage of Confucianism, was given to him by later generations. Confucius never claimed to be a saint during his lifetime
Then think about it, is it possible that Confucius also understood Ye Feng's truth - as long as you kill someone, you are not qualified to be a saint
But this idea has no basis, so I said that this is "evidence that is not evidence", so I will leave room for you to freely use your imagination.
Although we say that we should see history from a historical perspective, and it is unreasonable to ask the ancients harshly from the perspective of today's people,
but!
Please don’t forget that some things don’t change over time and must never change!
A person can die because of his actions, but he can never die because of "thoughts that have not been put into practice." This is the bottom line of human beings. This is a truth that cannot be changed in the past, present or future.
Unless you don’t behave!
Or do you think those guys in history are not human beings?
Even the dead were once human!
Otherwise, everyone in the world should die! Everyone deserves to be killed!
So Ye Feng studied Confucianism, but hated Confucianism and felt that Confucianism was a hypocrite. It started from the later generations who called Confucius a saint. Confucius even understood that a murderer cannot be a sage, so he was still somewhat "moral". No one who is not a sage can do anything wrong. Confucius is also a human being. He can admit his mistakes frankly and keep a low profile. Unlike Chen Ping'an in "Sword Comes", who still "sages lead horses" after double-standard killings, Confucius is actually much more moral.
Therefore, Ye Feng respected Confucius and called him "sage" while holding his nose.
But the Confucian scholars of later generations have no morals at all!
. . .
Ideya is going "home" with her four children. Before leaving, the four children were very "sensible" and allowed the two of them to say goodbye for the last time.
Ideya looked embarrassed and looked at Ye Feng with great regret. After all, her child had just misunderstood Ye Feng very seriously, and she was very understanding and gave her a chance to say goodbye to Ye Feng for the last time.
Ideya didn't even know what to say to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng smiled and said: "Goodbye, Ideya. No matter how difficult it is in the future, I hope you can survive. Likewise, I think we will never meet again."
Ideya felt gloomy for no reason, but she immediately understood what the other party meant. After all, the other party already knew that she was afraid of the other party. It was the prey's natural fear of the hunter. That's why the other party said that he would never visit me again, which made him feel scared.
Ideya couldn't help but sigh in her heart: The man in front of her is really a strong, considerate and gentle person.
So Ideya nodded to Ye Feng and said, "Thank you, I will do it."
At this moment, Ye Feng not only obtained Yog-Sothoth's "power of time and space", but also obtained all his knowledge. Therefore, Ye Feng knew that Ideya was afraid that he was the "God Eater"
Although Ye Feng knew that he was not, he had just "devoured the gods" blatantly in front of the opponent. So any amount of sophistry is useless. It's like you have killed someone in front of others, and then immediately turn around and say you didn't kill anyone. This is no longer a metaphor for self-deception and stupidity.
Suddenly Ideya seemed to have made up his mind and asked: "Ye Feng, are you a God Eater?"
Ye Feng shook his head and said: "I am not a God Eater."
"I am Ye Feng, a human being."
Ideya stared at Ye Feng blankly. After a moment, his eyes seemed to have a little more brilliance, but he said happily and a little regretfully:
"Is that so?"
"Well, Ye Feng, goodbye."
Ye Feng said: "Well, goodbye, Ideya."
The four children in the distance looked at this scene. The eldest, Gata, said to the other three:
"Uncle Ye, if he can pursue his mother in an honest way instead of using despicable means to get her, I would still be willing to recognize him as my stepfather."
The other three children nodded in agreement.
But the conversation between these four silly children made the corners of Ye Feng's eyes jump, and Ideya didn't even dare to look into Ye Feng's eyes.
Then Ideya and the four children passed through the portal of time and space, and the portal disappeared.
It’s time for Ye Feng to go home this time
Ye Feng is also lucky. Yog-Sothoth has infinite wisdom. All great wizards, artists, and thinkers are his projections in different dimensions.
So for Ye Feng, who is extremely thirsty for knowledge, this time he really made a lot of money.
