Self-cultivation of the traveler of the world

Chapter 160: On the Political Conference (5) On Confucianism and Ink

Five people on the stage sat down separately, and a maid immediately brought the tea.

The five people took the tea and gave a gift.

Everyone in the audience was looking forward to it. This grand occasion was not something you could encounter casually, so they were all waiting for the high arguments of the five people on the audience.

Wang Xuebin took a sip and gently kept it at hand.

First, he looked at Liang Zizheng and asked with a smile:

"Mr. Zizheng was born in the Xihe School?"

Liang Zizheng put down the teacup when he heard this and said solemnly:

"I have studied Confucius and Mencius' classics since I was a child, and I was fortunate to join the Xihe School and under Mr. Zihua to study the classics of study!"

Wang Xuebin smiled slightly, looked forward slightly, and sighed:

"What Mr. Guan said is really not like a member of the Xihe School!"

Others were curious when they heard this. To them, Confucianism was nothing more than the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. As for the various schools within Confucianism, they were not very clear about it.

When Liang Zizheng heard this, he was slightly stunned, then nodded and admitted:

"When I was worshipping Mr. Zihua, my husband was over 60 years old. Most of the learnings in him were self-research. What? Is there any omissions?"

Wang Xuebin smiled slightly when he heard this and shook his head.

"Otherwise, what you said just now is the way of rituals and music, but you know that Mr. Zixia's Xihe study was not like Yan Zi and Zeng Zi's way of adhering to Confucius's way?"

Liang Zizheng frowned when he heard this and stared at Wang Xuebin.

Wang Xuebin didn't care and continued:

"Mr. Zixia does not advocate self-restraint and rejuvenation, but rather advocates the current affairs. Do you know?"

As soon as Wang Xuebin said this, not only Liang Zizheng frowned, but anyone who knew the theories of Confucianism and Law frowned.

The information circulation in this era is not smooth, and the Xihe School has long declined, so few people have known the glory of the Xihe School.

Liang Zi was watching Wang Xuebin not speaking.

He knew the history of the Xihe School in his heart, but he did not recognize it. He still recognized the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. This was the foundation laid by his childhood study of classics and it was difficult to change.

He didn't speak, and Shin Buling couldn't help it:

"Sir, is it really the current affairs?"

Wang Xuebin looked at Shen Buling, nodded, and said with a smile:

"Do you know where the Legal wise wise man Gongsun Yang came from?"

Shin Buling said without even thinking about it:

"Gongsun Yang was born in Wei State and later became a guest of Gongshu. King Hui of Liang did not appoint this person. Later, he returned to Qin State to preside over the reform!"

The capital of Wei State is Daliang, so Wei State is also called Liang State, and the King of Wei is also called Liang State.

Wang Xuebin nodded:

"Gongsun Yang's theory was influenced by the Wei prime minister Li Ku, and Li Ku had a deep relationship with the Hexi school. Zixia himself valued power and was good at using power by the king.

There are more Legalists in the Xihe School than Confucians. Nowadays, most Confucians in the Wei State are foreign. You, a member of the Xihe School, have actually produced a Confucian orthodox, which really surprised me!"

Wang Xuebin said it easily, but there was an uproar in the audience. He was not a Confucian scholar. How many people can understand the whole story of the Xihe School?

No one would have thought that the knowledge advocated by the Xihe School would be more favorable to the Legalists.

Liang Zizheng took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"Although I am a Hexi school, it still adheres to the Confucian teachings of Confucius and Mencius. Only the way of ritual and music can be governed by the world!"

Wang Xuebin shook his head when he heard this, looked at Liang Zizheng and asked:

"Why are rituals and music from you?"

Liang Zizheng blurted out without hesitation.

"The way of rituals and music is written by Duke Zhou..."

Wang Xuebin waved his hand and asked directly:

"What is etiquette?"

When Liang Zizheng heard this, he paused slightly and said slowly:

"Rite is the reason, the king, the king, the minister, the minister..."

Wang Xuebin waved his hand again and said:

"This is the image, what is the foundation of etiquette?"

Liang Zizheng was a little hesitant and did not answer.

Wang Xuebin looked at him and said:

"The so-called etiquette lies in class!"

Wang Xuebin explained with his words and gestures:

"Steper, ladder!Steper, level!

The so-called class is inequality!

The so-called joy is also uneven!

Music has five tones, different lengths!

It is used by the common people to vent their dissatisfaction!

The noble will always be noble, and the common will always be noble!

If benevolence is used as the indicator, class is used as the inside, and act together in the inside, the world will be governed!"

Wang Xuebin said here, knocking on the table.

"This is Confucianism, this is the foundation of the way of rituals and music! Do you have any objections?"

Wang Xuebin's short words hit everyone's hearts.

Straightforward! Thorough! Simply!

The core concept of Confucianism is so naked in front of you, without any concealment!

Wang Xuebin leaned back and said lightly:

"After Confucius' death, Confucianism was eight points, and it was definitely not without cause!"

"Classification, the upper and lower levels are not connected. The more noble the nobles are, the more humble the common people are. Is this kind of benevolence?"

Wang Xuebin looked at Liang Zizheng who was in a daze and said nothing. No matter how Confucianism changes, its core idea has never changed. It was like this in the past, it is like this in the present, and it is still like this in the future.

After saying that, Liang Zizheng looked at Yuanzong again and said with a smile:

"I have heard of the great name of the Mo family for a long time and have never been able to meet you. I happened to be able to meet you with my husband today. I really have a chance!"

Wang Xuebin's tone was very relaxed, but Yuan Zong was a little nervous. Wang Xuebin just now easily knocked Liang Zizheng down so easily. Now it's his turn.

Yuanzong raised his hand respectfully and said:

"I have been following my teacher to study. I have only come out recently. I don't expect to meet a handsome young man like my husband!"

Wang Xuebin smiled and shook his head without agreeing or objecting, but asked directly:

"Please forgive me for saying that after the death of Mozi, the Mohist scholar, was divided into three parts, namely Qi Mo, Chu Mo, and Qin Mo. I wonder which one Mr. agrees with?"

Yuan Zong frowned when he heard this and said solemnly:

"The Mo people in the world are a family, and three parts are a must-have. In fact, they are a contemporary Mo family, and they must reunite the three families!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. The Mo family's master was not an ordinary person. Back then, this was able to protect a country. Nine attacks and nine distances were not jokes.

However, Wang Xuebin, listening to this, asked directly:

"How can the Lord unify these three families?"

Yuan Zong frowned and said deeply:

"Motivate it with emotion and explain it with reason. Unification will benefit the three families, and harmony will bring prosperity!"

Wang Xuebin looked at Yuan Zong and nodded, then shook his head.

"In your opinion, why did the Mo family fall to this point today?"

Yuan Zong shook his head without answering, looked at Wang Xuebin and said:

"I would like to hear the details!"

Wang Xuebin leaned forward and said:

"In the past, Mencius once said that the words of the world were not Yang Jimo, and the Mo family was also prosperous for a while. However, after Mozi left, the Mo family was divided into three parts. The disadvantage was that the foundation was unstable!"

"The foundation is unstable?"

Yuan Zong frowned and repeated it.

Wang Xuebin nodded and said:

"Yes, it's just that the foundation is unstable!"

"Where is the roots of the Mo family?"

Yuanzong did not answer, but still looked like he wanted to hear the details.

Wang Xuebin looked at him and continued:

"The roots of the Mo family are in the people, and the common people are prosperous. We must gather the strength of the common people and make profits for the common people!"

Wang Xuebin tapped the table gently again.

"Today, the nobles are the world, the emperor collapses and the princes are in chaos!"

As he said that, Wang Xuebin pointed his finger at the young men in the audience and said:

"The benefits of the world are like food. If the common people eat more, they will eat less. Greedy. The nature of human nature, why should we give up our food and give it to the people?

If the nobles suppress it, the Mohist family will naturally be unable to prosper!"

Yuan Zong was a little angry when he heard Wang Xuebin's words, and looked up and asked:

"Sir, the benefits of the world are created for the people. Why did our Mohist family go to the people? Why did it decline so much?"

Hearing Yuan Zong's angry shout, Wang Xuebin shook his head and explained earnestly:

"Greed is the nature of human beings. Aristocrats are greedy, and common people are greedy.

The common people have no knowledge and no vision, so they can only see the Mohist family restraining the greed of the common people. They cannot see the Mohist family running around and are looking for the people, so they will naturally not support them!"

"The fundamental reason for mutual benefit and love is to control the greed of the world and violate human nature.

If Mozi can do things that are difficult to do, he can be called a sage, but his person is clear about things and secretly about others.

The Mo family's actions suppressed the greed of nobles, suppressed the greed of nobles, and were rejected by the people. The world was either aristocrats or common people, and these people all disliked the Mo family, how could the Mo family not perish?”

Wang Xuebin looked at Yuan Zong who was frowning and dazed, and said lightly:

"The foundation of the Mohist school is gone, how can it prosper?

I can’t figure out this question. If you unify the Mo family, you still cannot restore the decline. The Mo family will still perish!”

Yuan Zong frowned tightly and his hands were tightly clasped.

After a long time, Yuanzong let out a deep breath, stood up, and bowed.

"Sir, can there be a solution?"

“The solution…”

Wang Xuebin listened to Yuan Zong’s question, which meant no explanation. He turned around and saw the bamboo slips on Ji Yanran’s desk. He took them over and looked at Yuan Zong and asked:

"How much does a roll of bamboo slips engraved into a book?"

Yuan Zong said directly without thinking:

"Hundred gold!"

"How many people in the world can afford this hundred gold?"

Yuanzong shook his head.

Wang Xuebin looked at Yuan Zong's thoughtful expression and put the bamboo slip back. He ignored Ji Yanran's uncontrollable admiration and said solemnly:

"The common people have the supreme power that can carry boats and overturn boats, but they cannot afford bamboo slips and cannot learn knowledge.

Every day, they can’t think about the word “survival”. They don’t have the extra energy to think about their sons, think about each other and love each other, and they don’t have the energy to think about the future!”

Wang Xuebin looked at Yuan Zong and said meaningfully:

"If you want to promote the power of the common people, you must first enrich the people's wealth and then enlighten the people. When the common people are well-versed in the hundreds of classics, these nobles will not deceive them. Then it will be the day when the Mo family will prosper!"

Is it possible for what Wang Xuebin said to be fulfilled?

Of course it is possible, but it is hard to say when it can be realized. Anyway, it will be difficult before 2020.

His purpose is not so simple...

After Wang Xuebin finished speaking, he ignored Yuan Zong, who looked excited, and turned his head to look at Shen Buling.

When Shen Buling saw Wang Xuebin looking at him, he shivered immediately. Only now did he truly believe that Wang Xuebin is definitely not a member of the Legalist!

First enrich the people, then enlighten the people's wisdom, and finally gather the people's strength to resist the nobles. This is to overturn the Legalists and the nobles together!

Five cars are well-educated? These five houses are more than one, they are a god...

Wang Xuebin looked at the trembling Shen Buling and smiled and said:

"Don't worry, you are the last one!"

As he said that, he turned his head to Zhong Yang of the Yang Zhu School, and gave a gift, regardless of his expression as if he was facing a great enemy, he said with a smile:

"Yang Zhu School? Mr. Zhong Yang, Wang Guanlan is polite!"
