Chapter 339 The Power of Benevolence

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Weiguo can also be regarded as Dan Ji¡¯s hometown. She is Wei Jun¡¯s aunt and grandmother.  Of course, when Danji was born, Weiguo was not that big.

    At that time, all countries were not that big. It was more than 300 years from the Western Zhou Dynasty to Guan Zhong, and more than 400 years from Confucius. All countries were expanding.  In the past, there were still a lot of undeveloped wastelands between countries, but now they are all next to each other, and some small countries have long since disappeared in the long river of history.

    However, Danji has no relationship with Weiguo, because she has never returned to Weiguo since she was taken away by Pang Meng, and she does not feel that the current Weiguo still has anything to do with her.

    As far as Danji knows about Weiguo, there is really nothing in Weiguo that can make the Jingwei Alliance attractive.

    Yunyao suspected that she was targeting Kong Fuzi, but she quickly overturned this suspicion. After all, there were too many bodyguards around Kong Fuzi, and the Jingwei Alliance would definitely not be able to touch him.

    ¡°Then I don¡¯t know why I came to Weiguo. I don¡¯t care about it for now. It¡¯s more important to go to class first.

    Confucius called on everyone to restrain themselves and return to propriety, but the harder they tried to tell each other, the more it showed that this era has become a mess.  Not only are countries at war with each other, and families compete with each other, the situation within the country is not much better either.

    ?? Nanzi cuckolded Wei Linggong, and Wei Linggong acted very tolerant. In fact, this was nothing at all.  In this era, there was an activity called "cuckolding", which simply means cuckolding each other.

    The aristocracy of today has long lost the glory of the founding era and has long been corrupted and decayed.  Although the killing of nobles by the Jin State led to the division of the last three families into Jin Dynasty, the more nobles the Jin State killed, the stronger the country became. It can explain the problem that it has been at the top of the list of Spring and Autumn Hegemons for a long time.

    The nobles have long become a symbol of the backwardness of the times. The more they kill, the better and more active they become.

    It was because of seeing this that Confucius constantly hoped to bring back the aristocratic spirit represented by Zhou Rites. Although Confucius was born into a down-and-out nobleman, what he did after becoming famous was a high-standard aristocratic style that is already rare.

    ??????????? Never tire of fine food, never tire of fine food, wear matching clothes, do not engage in labor, and be a self-denying moral gentleman in every word and deed.  These requests are to hope that everyone will stop messing around, live a good life, and stop making such messes.

    It is precisely because Confucius strictly demands himself, just like a nobleman four hundred years ago, that he can gain the respect of his students.  Because in their opinion, the aristocratic spirit in Confucius is exactly what this era lacks.

    Of course, Confucius did not say that he was pursuing aristocratic spirit, but pursuing morality.  But those who can be moral these days must be those who have enough to eat and drink.  The warehouse is solid and you know etiquette, and you have enough food and clothing to know honor and disgrace. If you don't have enough food and clothing, you don't have enough food and clothing. Who can talk about morality?

    "It's a pity that no one in the small country can listen. After all, they have reached the stage where even being a cuckold is very interesting. Old Master Kong can't play with them at all.

    Zilu and Zigong were both from the Wei state, and there were many Wei people under Confucius's sect. It was not uncommon for people from the Wei state to go to the state of Lu to become apprentices. After all, the state of Lu had always been the country with the best culture in maintaining Zhou rites.  It was not a shame to go to the State of Lu to become a disciple of Confucius, and they did learn a lot of professional knowledge after becoming a disciple of Confucius, and they could indeed manage a country well.

    Of course, they are managing small countries. They can't manage big countries. In fact, even Confucius couldn't manage them well.  Because there are too many "little people" in big countries, Qi has a famous Prime Minister Yan Ying, Chu has a young master Zi Xi, and Jin, the most powerful country, is directly defined by Confucius as a dangerous country. It is a very dangerous country, so naturally you cannot go there.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT off today¡¯s world, if we look to the east of Qi State, to the south of Chu State, and to the west of Jin State, they are all hegemonic countries, and they are all the core of the Central Plains.  But Confucius suffered a series of defeats in a big country, and was no match for those "little people". In a small country, he was beaten to pieces by women, and he never turned around in his life.

    When Confucius said to Qi Jinggong that the rule of the country is "the king, the minister, the minister, the father, the son, the son", Qi Jinggong liked it very much when he heard it. However, Yan Ying, the prime minister at the time, directly said that Confucius's idea was too vain, a waste of money, and had nothing to do with the state of Qi.  The state of Qi was pragmatic and could not play with the rituals and music of Zhou Rites.

    And Qi Jinggong did accept Yan Ying's suggestion pragmatically, because Qi Jinggong was already facing the threat of the Tian family at that time. Although Confucius's set of etiquette for monarchs and ministers prescribed the right medicine, he had no money to implement it.  Confucius' first opportunity to enter the core of a great power was gone.

    The second time was when King Chu Zhao recruited Confucius, but the prince Zixi directly said that Confucius was very capable and was not good for Chu. Furthermore, Confucius said that Zhou rites should be restored. What should King Zhao of Chu do?  You must know that the State of Chu usurped the title of king, which was completely inconsistent with Zhou etiquette. If Confucius was brought to the State of Chu, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face?  Therefore, Confucius could not flex his muscles in Chu State.

    As for the Jin State, because the Jin State killed too many nobles, how could Confucius dare to go there?"Name", the correct name is the name of a nobleman. If you go there, won't you be asking for death?  Therefore, Confucius believed that Jin was a dangerous state.

    Of course, Confucius also had another option, which was to find the Emperor of Zhou. Since the rites of Zhou were to be upheld, wouldn¡¯t the Emperor of Zhou be the most suitable?

    "It's a pity that it doesn't work. Confucius knew that Emperor Zhou was now a mascot. Now Emperor Zhou had to borrow money for any weddings or funerals. It was impossible to promote any ideas.  Besides, it was the responsibility of the princes to serve as an official for the Emperor of Zhou. Although Confucius was a noble, he was not a prince, and he could not overstep his authority.

    His life was coming to an end so quickly, and Confucius was getting old. He stayed in Weiguo and started writing books, thinking about refining his own ideological principles.

    If outsiders come to ask for advice, Confucius will also talk to them about the idea of ????"rectifying names." As a thinker, politician, and educator, Confucius' ability to express, summarize, and write is extremely powerful.

    Entering his later years, his ideological realm is even more profound. Although he has nothing to show in politics, he is admirable in other fields.  Anyway, no matter what question someone asks, he can answer one or two sentences. Even if he doesn't know the answer, he can still say the truth-seeking famous saying, "If you know something, you know it, and if you don't know it, you don't know it."

    Yunyao listened to the class and felt that her magic power was getting stronger and stronger, and the flower bones on the White Lotus Pill might bloom at any time.

    "Although the master's policy of governing the country has not considered the cost at all, benevolence, as the highest standard of a harmonious society, is indeed very guiding. No wonder that no matter what thoughts on governing the country proposed by various schools of thought in the future, they will not avoid Confucianism. After all, benevolence is  It's very abstract, and anything can be stuffed into it." Yunyao admired the concept proposed by Confucius, which bound morality to everything, and she had to think about benevolence first in everything she did.

    The attacks and supplements of later generations around benevolence and the history of two thousand and five hundred years show how powerful this concept of benevolence is.

    Ren, hypocrisy.

    It is the social nature that overcomes the animal nature.

    Yunyao's thoughts drifted away, and she suddenly felt a brand-new energy emerging from the center of the annual rings in her body. This energy was as gentle as amniotic fluid, wrapping Yunyao.

    At this time, I, who was preparing to go to Hangu Pass, suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of Weiguo, feeling that a morning sun was slowly rising.  He knew that this must be the young man with the pseudo-Hongmeng Zi Qi.

    ??I stopped for a while, and finally continued to urge Qingniu towards Hangu Pass.
