The Analects of Confucius in Chinese time and space firmly believes that virtue can be learned. As long as one acts according to the Analects without deviation, such a person can be called a saint.
That's right, this "Analects of Confucius" regulates people's thoughts and wants everyone to become a saint!
Throughout the entire "The Analects of Confucius", there are 109 words for "benevolence". Being a "benevolent person" is also the core idea of the "The Analects of Confucius".
However, there is no definition of "benevolence" in the entire "Analects of Confucius". Because everyone's personality and life experience are different, the ways to achieve virtue and practice benevolence will also be different.
The "Analects of Confucius" created in the Jixia Underground Palace era is much worse than the "Analects of Confucius" in Chinese time and space.
Because in Chinese time and space, it was Sage Kong who created Confucianism!
But here, the person who created Confucianism was a weirdo, probably a rough man!
Therefore, the content contained in the two "Analects of Confucius" is very different!
Xia Tian believes that the "benevolence" in "The Analects" is correct, but it is a big mistake to want to transform everyone in the world into saints!
Because everyone in the world is mortal!
If everyone became a saint, the world would lose its vitality!
Because saints don’t have to work, they just rely on their thoughts. If they are all intellectual giants, they will all starve to death!
Therefore, the leather cover that Xia Tian gave to Peacock is "The Analects of Confucius", which is essentially the Confucian classic "The Great Learning" in Chinese time and space, revised by Xia Tian.
at this time.
I saw the peacock's eyes shining brightly, and he read word for word: "The way of Confucianism lies in clear virtue, being close to the people, and achieving the highest perfection!"
Xia Xia explained: "The purpose of Confucianism is to demonstrate noble moral character, to enable people to get rid of old habits, and to reach the highest state of goodness."
So, the hundreds of fat men holding tin tubes in the audience roared in unison, first yelling what the peacock said, and then yelling their own prince's explanation. They must let everyone hear clearly and let everyone know their prince's talent. , I know what the prince means.
Suddenly, the eyes of all the Confucian disciples brightened!
This statement is very suitable to Confucianism!
Peacock also thought so. He continued to read: "The so-called sincerity of one's intention is not to deceive oneself, such as aversion to bad odor or lust. This is called self-effacement, so a gentleman must be careful about his independence."
Xia Tian continued to explain: "The so-called honesty of thoughts means not to deceive yourself, to hate evil as much as you hate bad smells, and to love kindness as much as you love beautiful women. Only in this way can you feel at ease. Therefore, a gentleman must be cautious when he is alone. !”
Hundreds of fat men slit their throats and roared at the top of their lungs.
The more Confucian people listened, the more shocked they became!
The peacock continued to read: "A rich house, a healthy body with virtue, a broad mind and a fat body, so a gentleman must be sincere in what he means!"
Xia Tian bathed in the sunshine all over, closed his eyes and said: "Wealth can modify the house, morality can modify the body and mind, and a broad mind can make the body and mind comfortable. Therefore, a gentleman must be honest in his thoughts!"
Li Si of the Taoist school stroked his beard, and the old god said: "Whoever can write such shocking words must be a shocking gentleman!"
"The King of Huangzhou is indeed a model of a gentleman!"
People from hundreds of schools of thought on and off the stage nodded: "Not bad!"
"The name of the Holy King is well-deserved!"
but.
Princess Tianlang Huyan Duoer has a completely different view on this!
Thinking back to the time when she personally led Tianlang's 200,000-strong army into the wilderness, she was eager to occupy the Huangzhou and merge it with her fiefdom Tiandiaozhou to become the largest fiefdom in the Tianlang Empire.
However, things didn't go as planned. He met the young King of Huangzhou on the stage, and was played with by various tricks. In the end, he defeated Huangzhou and became his prisoner!
Thinking of this moment, the infinitely beautiful Huyan Duoer was so angry that her teeth itched!
She knows that war never tires of deceit, and she knows that a loss is a loss!
But she knew very well that the young man she loved on the stage was by no means a gentleman in the traditional sense!
beside.
Huyan Hua'er was entranced when he heard it: "Duo'er, the Confucian theory added by King Huangzhou seems to be admired even by the head of Confucianism!"
"What a great husband!"
"If you lose in the hands of such a gentleman, Duo'er, you must be convinced!"
Hu Yanduoer said speechlessly: "He is not a gentleman!"
Huyan Hua'er looked puzzled: "Don't you like him?"
"Why do you say that?"
Hu Yanduoer hesitated to speak, with a complicated expression on her beautiful face: "You will know this later!"
On the stage, Peacock read even more enthusiastically: "Do not do to others if you do not want to do it to yourself!"
Xia Tian still explained very patiently: "Don't impose on others what you don't want to do!"
This is the famous line of "The Doctrine of the Mean" in Chinese time and space, and Xia Tian also included it in it.
"If you go against it, it will be established; if you don't, it will be destroyed!"
"In anything, you can succeed if you are prepared, and you will fail if you are not prepared!"
Finally, Xia Tian said directly: "The way of heaven and earth can be summed up in one sentence. If there are no two things, then the creatures are unpredictable. The way of heaven and earth is broad, thick, high, bright and long-lasting."
There was no explanation, but it seemed like everyone understood it!
At this time.
The peacock bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it is a great blessing for the peacock and a great blessing for the Confucians to be able to read these classic sayings passed down from generation to generation!"
Xia Xia waved his hands and said: "These are some of the things I realized based on the wisdom of my ancestors when I was studying in the Royal Study Room!"
"It is actually the wisdom of predecessors and has nothing to do with me!"
The peacock saluted again: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be humble. The book you gave today and the words in the book must be studied seriously by Confucianists and added to the Confucian classics!"
As soon as the peacock performed this gift, the whole audience was shocked!
Because this is a half apprenticeship ceremony!
What is the half apprenticeship ceremony?
The peacock's body has bowed to the point of saluting the master.
But he didn't kneel down!
Because Xia Tian is not a Confucian!
Otherwise, it must be an apprenticeship ceremony!
However, it was this half apprenticeship ceremony that caused the whole audience to burst into uproar!
Being accepted as a disciple by the Confucian head of the world's largest university, the king of Huangzhou deserves the title of saint.
Suddenly.
Hundreds of schools of thought looked at Xia Tian with different eyes.
After hundreds of years, the Confucian school has been constantly fighting with other major schools, becoming the hegemon of hundreds of schools, and its arrogant head has not bowed for a hundred years.
But today, he bowed his proud head to the King of Huangzhou again.
This is the first time in a century that this has happened.
This kind of thing deserves to be remembered by history.
Off stage.
The eunuch who proclaimed the decree recorded it with great joy!
Those novelists, all with glowing faces, recorded the classic words that Peacock just read on paper bit by bit, as if they were recording the most precious treasures.
the other side.
Outside the square.
In the crowd, there were several pairs of blood-red eyes staring at Xia Tian, showing murderous intent!
Xia Tian raised his eyelids, looked at where the murderous intention came from, and murmured: "Are you going to start an attack?"
"Are you going to let this Taoism Conference fail?"
"Are you going to let me bear the blame for the failure of the Taoism Conference and be punished?"
