Master Liu put down the book in his hand and knelt down, signaling the students to sit down on their own.

"A few days ago, we talked about the Master: Living with a good person is like entering a room of chili orchid, if you don't smell its fragrance for a long time, it will be transformed; living with a bad person is like entering an abalone's house, and you won't smell its stench for a long time. , and it will also be transformed. What is hidden in Dan is red, and what is hidden in lacquer is black, so a gentleman must be careful of what is there. Do you all understand the meaning of it?"

"If you return to Master, the students have already understood what it means."

Everyone replied in unison, such a loud noise did not wake up Liu Mingzhi who was sleeping soundly.

Master Liu nodded with satisfaction: "In this way, Ruzi can be taught, Yan Huai'an, please explain the meaning of this sentence."

Yan Huai'an, who was called by Mrs. Liu, stood up. Yan Huai'an was about 20 years old. He was extremely elegant and wore a white robe gracefully on his body.

"Returning to the words of the Master, these words are from "The Six Books of Confucius' Family Language."

"Confucius said that making friends with people of high moral character is like living in a room that slows down the fragrance of orchids. After a long time, you can't smell the orchids. This is because your own fragrance has been integrated with the fragrance of orchids.

Making friends with people of low moral character is like entering a shop that sells encounters. After a long time, you can't smell the smell of salted fish, because you have already fused with the smell of salted fish.

The place where the cinnabar is hidden is red, and the place where the paint is hidden is black. Therefore, a gentleman must choose a friend of high moral character when making friends. "

Master Liu looked at Yan Huai'an with a satisfied smile: "Very good, very good, in seven or eight days, it's not a problem to enter Class B with your talent, sit down first."

Yan Huai'an saluted respectfully: "Xie Master for teaching."

Master Liu glanced at the people in front of him: "Qin Bin, how do you understand this sentence?"

Qin Bin, the black-clothed boy, stood up respectfully: "Returning to Master's words, the students believe that this statement is similar to another statement of Kong Sheng."

"Oh?" Master Liu smiled meaningfully.

"Three people walk, there must be my teacher, choose the good ones and follow them, and the bad ones and change them."

Master Liu nodded with satisfaction: "Qin Bin, sit down too, you all said very well, autumn is coming soon, I hope you can fight for Dangyang Academy. Yishan Academy was snatched, this matter has always been a thorn in the mountain chief's heart, work hard."

"We will definitely live up to the great responsibility of the head of the mountain and the great trust of Mr.

Master Liu opened the book and said, "Those who use strength and false benevolence dominate, and those who are benevolent with virtue are king. Today, let's talk about Meng Sheng's remarks."

Chapter 11 School II

Mencius said: "He who uses strength and false benevolence will dominate, and he will have a great country; he who is virtuous and benevolent will be king, and the king will not wait for the great. Tang is seventy miles away, and King Wen is a hundred miles away. Those who use strength to subdue people are not convinced by their hearts, and they cannot support their strength. Those who convince people with virtue are happy and sincere, just like the seventy sons of Confucius. The poem says: 'From the east to the west, from the south to the north, there is no one who refuses to submit.' This is what it means."

Liu Mingzhi is still dreaming about his spring and autumn dreams, and Master Liu has already begun to explain today's knowledge.

"The meaning of this sentence is that Mencius said: "Those who rely on force to unify the world in the name of benevolence and justice are called hegemony. If they want to dominate the world, they must have a strong national power; A king does not necessarily have to be a powerful country.

Shang Tang became king with the land of seventy li, and King Wen became king with the land of one hundred li.Only relying on force to force people to surrender is not really surrendering, but the strength is not enough to resist; relying on morality to convince people, the heart is convincing, just like the disciples of Confucius believed in Confucius. "Book of Songs" says: 'From the west to the east, from the south to the north, all are heartfelt and sincere. 'That's roughly what it means.

Master Liu talked eloquently above, analyzing Yasheng Mencius's remarks word by word, and the students below listened with great interest.

"Qin Bin, have you understood this sentence?"

Qin Bin pondered for a while: "Master, the students have realized a little."

Master Liu was not disappointed: "You can comprehend part of it in such a short period of time, which is true. Since you have comprehended, how do you view the king's way?"

"The king governs the world with benevolence, appeases the people, widens the way of speech, and promotes elegant speech. Listening to both will make it clear, and partial listening will make it dark."

"Then what is Heaven?"

""Xunzi Tianlun" once said that the course of heaven is permanent, it does not exist for Yao, and it does not perish for Jie...There is no change in a hundred kings."

"You have a very thorough understanding of the classics and history, and the quotations from the classics are even more clever."

"Yan Huaian."

"The students are here, why are you overbearing?"

Yan Huai'an pondered for a moment: "Using force to attack the weak, to attack the weak by force, to establish a country by force, and to rule the state by force."

"The foundations are all solid. What Mencius said means..."

"Hoohoo, hoohoo."

Master Liu frowned and stopped what he was about to say, looking at the source of the sound.

The students also noticed the whirring sound, and all looked towards Liu Mingzhi's position.At this time, Liu Mingzhi was lying on the table and sleeping soundly, playing chess with Duke Zhou.

Master Liu looked at the unfamiliar Liu Mingzhi suspiciously, and in his impression, there was no such student in Class C.

"Ma Yong, wake up the classmate next to you, a dignified school, a place of saints, a place where preaching, receiving karma and solving doubts, how dignified it is to sleep soundly."

Ma Yong gently pushed Liu Mingzhi, who was sleeping soundly. Ma Yong, a classmate next to him, had already found out that Master Liu dared to fall asleep in his class, and just wanted to wake him up because he was afraid of disturbing Master Liu's lectures. , angering the Master is not very good.

Ma Yongben thought about the matter and got through this class first. How could he think that these two dear brothers would die like this, just go to sleep and make noises.

"Ah? Have you eaten? What do you guys want to eat, I'll bring it back for you." Liu Mingzhi wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth in a daze.

Master Liu blew his beard and stared at Liu Mingzhi: "This student, what's your name?"

Liu Mingzhi slowly came back to his senses: "Liu Mingzhi."

"Is he the eldest son of Liu Yuanwai's family?"

"I heard that he molested the second young lady of the Qi Governor's family. I don't know if it's true or not."

"How could he appear in the C-class, I remember we don't have this guy here."

"Eighty percent of them are newcomers."

Master Liu vaguely remembered that Shan Chang's granddaughter told him last night that Shan Chang had newly arranged a student in the C-character class. At that time, he was negligent because he was busy sorting books. He did not expect that this student was Liu Mingzhi, a playboy named Jinling. .

"Liu Mingzhi, what do you think about the old man's remarks?"

Liu Mingzhi's face was stunned, and he knew what he said: "Master, can you say it again?"

Master Liu dropped his sleeve and sighed, how did such a thing get into the class.

"What is the king's way?"

Liu Mingzhi scratched his neck: "Kill those who are disobedient."

Master Liu and the others turned dark, secretly making bullshit remarks.

"What is domineering?"

"Kill those who are obedient."

"What is the way of heaven?"
