Chapter 970 This is the core of Confucianism
Li Ji is ready.
Immediately there were rumors that Li Ji's illness was cured by Jia Pingan.
Jia Ping'an turned out to be a famous doctor?
Go to the doctor!
But look at the second general Hengha next to Jia Pingan, who was driven away before he got close.
Someone went to save the country and found Sun Simiao.
"Xiao Jia did it." Mr. Sun was very sincere.
Ruined.
Jia Ping'an was surrounded by groups when he arrived at the Ministry of War.
"Mr. Jia, please take a look for me."
"The old man's life is not long. If Duke Jia refuses to make a move, the old man will be killed in the Ministry of War!"
Ren Yaxiang's face darkened, "Get out!"
Immediately, the officials shot together and drove the group of people out.
As for the official who said he was going to be killed in the Ministry of War, he was the first to run away.
"I really don't know how to do medicine."
You pretend!
You continue to pretend!
Ren Yaxiang and Wu Kui have this expression.
"Really not."
You can't say that Li Ji is the fault of scaring yourself, right?
For the sake of Lao Li's fame, Jia Pingan could only silently swallow the notoriety of pretending to be a criminal.
Back home, just met Wang Bo and Di Renjie to argue.
The three children were watching the battle from the sidelines, probably feeling bored, so they called Ah Fu to play around;
"...Zi said..."
"No!"
Jia Pingan listened to what he said, "There is nothing wrong with arguing about it!"
Wang Bo habitually retorted, "Confucianism not only teaches the principles of being a human being, but also includes everything...governing the country, herding people, everything is included."
"But nothing works well."
Jia Pingan hasn't paid attention to this pretentious boy for a long time, so I have nothing to do today, so I sat down and taught him a lesson.
"You need to know that all the ideas in Confucianism are idealized, that is to say... those sayings are all in the direction of loftiness, truth, goodness and beauty, right?"
Wang Bo nodded and said complacently, "Naturally."
"However, greatness, truth, goodness and beauty are mostly illusory. I said that human nature is inherently evil. You have been instilling such unrealistic ideas in people. What do you think will happen to them?"
Jia Pingan smiled and said: "Everything must be true, good and beautiful, and everyone must be a gentleman. But there is no gentleman in the world, so the process of studying Confucianism is a process of creating a mask for yourself. When you are a fledgling, you are not good at acting. I don’t pretend well, so I often show my true nature. Gradually in the officialdom and in daily life, I play the role of a gentleman, and I gradually become more comfortable..."
"Those Confucians who can't interpret the gentleman are the worst, and those who interpret the gentleman to the fullest, and most of the Confucians who make the mask of the gentleman so perfect have soared."
"There is no need to hold on to Confucianism. Think about the benevolent government taught by Confucianism when Emperor Han Yuan was still a prince, so he asked Emperor Xuan of Han...to let him use less of the art of school and be kind...What is the result?"
"No matter the result, then Emperor Han Yuan is a gentleman? According to Confucianism, Emperor Han Yuan offended his father Emperor Xuan Xuan for the sake of benevolent government. Isn't this a gentleman? But who is Emperor Han Yuan? He is weak and has no opinions... Such a person is a gentleman ?"
Wang Bo could not refute.
"Aye well said!"
The little padded jacket couldn't understand what his father was saying, but he habitually applauded.
Jia Pingan smiled and patted the top of her head, "I have been thinking about how to be a gentleman and a good person all day long. But there is no gentleman in the world, so Confucians will suffer... If you want to question it, that is the words of the sages. Death. So I distorted my mentality, saying that I want to be a gentleman, while still doing my own way...Under the psychological distortion, this person will get worse..."
Since the Song Dynasty, after Confucianism swept everything, moral standards have become all elements for evaluating a person, just like the credit reporting system of later generations.
"After playing the role of gentleman well, Confucianists can wear the mask of gentleman to take advantage of others."
The Confucians of the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties did just that.
"In the end, the pursuit of the name of a gentleman will become more and more intense. They will turn themselves into zombies. They will do everything according to the words and deeds of the sages. They dare not make half-step mistakes. They even force their family members to become such zombies. ..."
In the later stage, for the evaluation of a gentleman, Confucianists don’t even need masks, they keep their faces straight all day long... Then there are chastity archways, and there are big rules in the house, wives and children dare not say a word... If you make a mistake, you will be beaten to death.
"That's not a person anymore, it's a zombie!"
"Confucianism is good, but it shouldn't be a prominent school."
This is Jia Pingan's innermost thoughts.
Di Renjie said dissatisfiedly: "Influenced by Confucianism..."
"What people need is the influence of their parents and relatives, the influence of their teachers, and the influence of simple moral standards, not as a career."
Jia Pingan said angrily: "Can't we learn some real knowledge? Isn't it good to let people see the knowledge of this world? We have to find the truth of being a man and governing the country from the words of the sages... When the sages said those words back then , I’m afraid I dare not say that what I said can be used everywhere. But why did it become the standard later? It’s just some people’s use of it.”
"You are you." Jia Pingan said: "You are not a vassal of the sages. You can comprehend the principles of life from the words of the sages, but you can't take these principles as learning and constantly study and ponder! Go and ponder."
Jia Pingan patted Wang Bo on the shoulder, "Confucianism talks about being a human being. They think that if everyone behaves according to Confucianism's standards, then the world will be easy to govern. Why? Because everyone is a gentleman, of course it will be easy to govern. But that's not realistic."
"To learn Confucianism, you must separate yourself from the beasts. You should learn the so-called etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame, but you should not study too much. If you study too much, you will overcorrect and create a bunch of hypocrites."
"Confucianism can shape people."
The so-called human shaping is to transform the so-called three views.
Jia Ping’an said: “It’s the best way to instill these concepts into students, but it’s still the same sentence, you can’t overcorrect.”
Di Renjie said: "You have made it clear that Confucianism can be learned, but it should not become prominent, let alone use Confucianism to govern the country."
Jia Ping'an said indifferently: "The Han family has its own system, and the overlord's way is mixed."
A group of fools insist on saying that the benevolent is invincible, but your kindness must have a purpose! Take a look at Man Qing... Excessive taxation at home and servility to the outside world, what kind of benevolent invincible is this?
Wang Bo's complexion was a little pale. His grandfather, Wang Tong, was a great Confucian in the Sui Dynasty. Even in the Tang Dynasty, Confucian scholars always admire Wang Tong when they mention him.
“If there is no Confucianism, what should be used to govern the country?”
Wang Bo's counterattack angle is very tricky.
Jia Pingan was stunned, "Since the former Qin Dynasty, the means of governing the country have been constantly changing. Why can't we sort out the means of governing the country in the past dynasties, and then analyze it, choose the good ones and follow them, and choose the evil ones and discard them."
Why must Confucianism be used to govern the country?
Damn, the Great Han did not use Confucianism for hundreds of years to become powerful, the Great Song used Confucianism, and it turned out to be a famous pricking ear; stretches for thousands of years.
"The world is a jungle, haven't you concluded something from your history reading?"
Jia Pingan taught Wang Bo a formal lesson today.
Jia Yu was listening carefully, but most of them couldn't understand.
But Ayer said great!
Doudou whispered to Ah Fu while listening, Ah Fu was lying lazily in front of her, very comfortable.
"Since there are historical records, the Central Plains Dynasty and foreign races have been fighting constantly. Occasionally, peace can be achieved, and that is also due to the strength of the Central Plains Dynasty."
Di Renjie was recording, looking up at Jia Pingan from time to time.
"Aye drink tea."
Jia Yu handed over the teacup.
Good son!
Jia Pingan took a sip of tea, "Whenever the Central Plains declines, those alien races will rush in to burn, kill and loot. The cruel methods are unbelievable. Why? Because humans are actually beasts."
"Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty said that the Han family has its own system, and the overlord's way is mixed. This is a good saying, what is the overlord's way? Domineering at home, domineering at outside... Don't think that it is useful to be soft and gentle to the outside. When you think it is useful, it is mostly Because of your own status at the moment, not because of your tenderness."
"What is the fatal thing about Confucianism? Let's look at the former Han Dynasty. The former Han Dynasty said that it only respected Confucianism, but it did not use Confucianism to govern the country, so it was still able to suppress the alien race before it collapsed."
It will be over in the future.
"The birth of the imperial examination is a good thing, but turning Confucianism into the standard of the imperial examination is the beginning of self-castration!"
From then on, I began to castrate myself, wishing I could lie flat, wishing I could build an unattainable wall around the Central Plains, and then hide in the wall and dream of the heavenly kingdom.
"The blood and tears in the annals of history tell us that the world is a jungle, so don't think that we can use morality and gentleness to win aliens back to their hearts. When they keep their fangs and claws, what we should do is to deter them."
Thousands of years of history have clearly told later generations: the world is a jungle, and the forest is full of wolves and beasts, but later generations always feel that Lao Tzu will definitely turn wolves, tigers and leopards into little white rabbits with benevolence, righteousness and morality.
"In the former Han and Tang Dynasties, whenever they encountered a strong enemy, they would not be discouraged even if they were defeated. Instead, they silently strengthened themselves. When the opportunity came, everyone from the emperor to the petty official would shout for revenge...Amidst the loud shouts, the Xiongnu The ashes were wiped out, and amidst the loud shouts, the Turks ran away with their heads in their arms..."
"But what can Confucianism bring? Weakness!"
"Confucianism can naturally cultivate weak people, but this kind of weak temperament is considered by Confucianism to be a gentleman..."
From the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, there were many powerful enemies, but what are those important ministers and great Confucians doing?
From afforestation and ditch digging in the north to stop the speed of the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom, to modifying the old course of the Yellow River, no one really wants to try their luck, keep practicing internal skills, and wait for the opportunity to fight back, just like in the Han and Tang Dynasties... It can be called Fear the enemy like a tiger.
"Confucianism governing the country will only castrate the blood of Han children! Let them become pigs and sheep."
Da Ming is the same after Zhu Zhanji. How cool is it for everyone to guard the Great Wall? Why go out of the fortress to fight life and death?
Closed doors and self-defense is the most proud method of Confucians.
Changed to Han and Tang...why should I guard? You say the opponent is strong?
The opponent is not strong and I am not interested in fighting!
Switch, tell you to switch, will you listen? If you don't listen to me, I'll kill you!
Then the army went out of the fortress, and the Huns and Turkic wolves rushed to the fortress.
"If I lose Yanzhi Mountain, my women will be colorless. If I lose Qilian Mountain, my animals will not survive."
"This is a big man!"
Jia Pingan looked at Wang Bo, "I know your temperament, and you like to show off the most, but what did you do after you met the county magistrate's son? You can only do nothing... Then you hurt my father."
This is the usual method of Confucianists, to shrink back and pretend to be innocent when something happens.
"Da Lang."
Jia Ping'an asked Jia Yu, "What would you do if someone humiliated Aye?"
Jia Yu said without hesitation: "Break his hands and feet!"
"What if the opponent is stronger than Aye?"
Jia Yu didn't hesitate, "Then I'll try to be better than him, and I'll deal with him later."
Jia Pingan looked at Wang Bo, "What did you understand?"
Wang Bo was at a loss.
"A gentleman of Tian Xingjian strives for self-improvement, and a gentleman of geo-sports embodies his virtues. This is from the Book of Changes."
"Repay grievances with kindness. Why do you repay virtues? Repay grievances with honesty and virtue with kindness. This is the old master's words."
"Gongyang said: "Is it possible to avenge the enmity of the nine generations?" Confucius said: "The king's way is restored, respect the king and fight against the barbarians. Enmity for ten generations can still be avenged!" This is the question and answer between Gong Yang and the old master."
Jia Pingan shook his head, "I said that Confucianism is really good, but the bad roots of human beings will always exist. They will be selectively blind, ignore the content that is not easy to practice, and remember the content that can benefit from a few words. It's clear..."
Wang Bo was thoughtful.
Jia Ping'an felt that it was time to hit the hammer.
"The sages said to repay grievances with honesty, but if someone does too many immoral things, they will castrate the back of this passage and become repaying grievances with virtue."
"The sages said that we must constantly strive for self-improvement. This is not just about individuals, but about dynasties. The former Han Dynasty continued to strive for self-improvement, which led to Huo Wei going out to drive out the Hulu; A feat of defeating the enemy..."
"This is the core of Confucianism, not some **** moral gentleman. Whoever makes a mistake in the order has ulterior motives! Either bad or stupid!"
"Let's talk about governing the country. The world is a jungle. If you ask yourself to be a gentleman first, you will tie your hands!" Jia Pingan said with piercing eyes: "The sages told us that the first thing is to strive for self-improvement, and then you can be a gentleman after you can make foreigners feel discouraged." .Be a gentleman first, smooth out your own sharp claws and sharp teeth, what are you doing?"
Jia Yu said: "That's the self-defeating martial arts that Aye said. It's no wonder that the dynasty is not destroyed."
Wang Bo is silent.
He just stood there.
The sky was getting darker, and thunder was faintly heard in the distance.
…
"Boom!"
Thunder was rumbling, and Wang Fuchou was reading documents in the duty room.
The thunder became more and more intense, and Wang Fuchou muttered: "It rains in midsummer, and the temperature drops sharply. Da Lang doesn't bring enough clothes, so he's afraid he'll be cold."
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, so he got up and prepared to deliver clothes to his son.
The little official said with a smile: "There is no shortage of these in Jia Jungong."
Wang Fuchou shook his head, "Parents are always worried about their children. Other people's families are other people's families, and other people's families can't think of everything for you."
The little official just got married, so he didn't have such emotions. While looking for an umbrella for Wang Fuchou, he said enviously: "Mr. It will be transformed in a year."
Wang Fuchou couldn't help feeling worried when he thought of his son's temperament.
"Da Lang's temperament is too arrogant. Last time he offended Mr. Xiao Lang of Huang Ming's family. This nature is hard to change. His temper will cause trouble sooner or later. When I found out that his temper was inappropriate, I kept correcting it. , but it has been useless for many years, hey!"
One hundred years of raising a child, ninety-nine long-term worries.
Wang Fuchou found the umbrella and ordered: "Someone will look for the old man later, so he said he would come back later."
"Boom!"
He turned around, was startled by the thunder, and then froze.
County magistrate Huang Yao is in the corridor.
And in front is his son Wang Bo.
"I have seen Huang Mingfu."
Wang Bo's salute was impeccable.
Huang Yao smiled and said, "But something is wrong?"
Wang Bo in the past was just a small shrimp in his eyes, who could be trampled to death with one foot. But Jia Pingan made a move, Huang Yao naturally wanted to save face, so he let him go.
Huang Yao always felt that Wang Fuchou was a pedantic character who would never be successful in his life, so he looked down on him. But when Wang Bo moved into Jia's house and the news came that he was apprenticed to Jia Ping'an, Huang Yao couldn't help but look at Wang Fuchou with admiration.
Even if it was only once, Huang Yao knew Wang Bo's temperament very well.
Arrogant, but ignorant of how to behave in the world, this kind of person Huang Yao has seen a lot, once he becomes an official, he will be beaten to death, and then he will either change his ways or become cannon fodder.
Wang Bo has more arrogance, so Huang Yao feels that this baby will be unlucky sooner or later.
But Wang Fuchou sent Wang Bo to Jia's house, which can be called a trick.
With Jia Ping'an's name covering him, Wang Bo will naturally wear a protective shield when he becomes an official.
Why did this boy come to find this old man?
Could it be that he felt that he was following Jia Ping'an, and wanted to find the old man's bad luck for what happened last time?
Huang Yao's eyes were dark.
Just as Wang Fuchou was about to rush out to stop Wang Bo, Wang Bolang said in a loud voice: "The boy met Huang Langjun here last time, and Huang Langjun made sharp remarks, and I also retorted. It was a quarrel between two young people, and then I made a move... "
You really want to rely on Jia Ping'an's power to overturn the case. Huang Yao sneered in his heart.
My son, the matter is over, why did you bring it up again. Aren't you humiliating Huang Yao?
Old man...
Wang Fuchou was half discouraged.
"At that time, I felt that I was right, so I refused to give up, but now that I think about it, I was too arrogant at the time, which attracted Huang Langjun to see him, so there was a quarrel."
Is this my son?
Wang Fuchou was stunned.
Huang Yao didn't expect Wang Bo to be able to describe the situation so objectively, so he nodded slightly.
Be self-improvement, be responsible... If you can't see the difficulties, hide away, and take care of the things you make yourself.
Wang Bo said solemnly: "Everyone was at fault in this matter, but I felt humiliated afterwards, and I refused to forgive... I was too hostile, and I apologize today."
Wang Bo saluted.
Huang Yao's heart moved, "Why do you have to do this?"
Wang Bo straightened his waist, raised his eyes, his eyes were calm, "Wrong is wrong, sophistry will only make me more and more wrong. I also ask Huang Mingfu to tell your son, just say... next time I will use my knowledge to make him bow his head."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Huang Yao is also a father, so he knows the heart of young people best. After hearing Wang Bo's words at this moment, he couldn't help laughing.
"Okay!" Huang Yao praised: "This is what a man does. Good boy, turn around and ask Huang Ruxun to discuss knowledge with you. If you can make him bow his head and admit defeat, I will send you off..."
He scratched his head and thought for a while, "The old man is famous, if you can make Huang Ru bow his head and admit defeat, it will be yours. Hahahaha!"
Is there anything more gratifying than seeing a teenager be positive?
No.
Huang Yao laughed and left.
Wang Bo turned back to look for his father, turned around the corridor and saw Wang Fuchou outside the guard room.
Wang Bo fell to his knees.
"Aye, I was wrong."
Wang Fuchou burst into tears and his vision was blurred.
"My son!"
