Self-cultivation of the traveler of the world

Long Yangjun looked at the person Wang Xuebin was pointing at, and introduced:

"This person is a disciple of Ju Luhou of Zhao State. I don't know his name very much!"

Wang Xuebin understood, and looked in the last direction, his eyes narrowed, revealing an inexplicable meaning.

The last person he knew was a swordsman under Qi Guotian's single hand. He had participated in the pursuit of Shanrou. There were 15 people in the group, and [-] of them were slaughtered by Wang Xuebin.

Only one person was left and asked him to report to Tian Dan.

It was said to be a report, but in fact it was to use this person to track Tian Dan's whereabouts.

On the night when Tian Dan's whereabouts were found, there were fifteen more heads in Tian Dan's bedroom. After that, Tian Dan stopped tracking Shan Rou and the others.

Wang Xuebin originally thought that this person would die in Tian Dan's hands, but he didn't expect that he was still alive. It seems that Tian Dan hid the whereabouts of this person, and he didn't know what it was.

"This person is a member of Tian Dan's sect, does Guanlan know him?"

Long Yang, who always paid attention to Wang Xuebin, noticed Wang Xuebin's strangeness, introduced the origin of this person to Wang Xuebin, and asked carefully.

Wang Xuebin nodded.

"This person has some grievances with me, but I didn't expect him to be alive!"

Lord Longyang frowned when he heard the words, and just about to ask, the sound of bells and chimes came from the hall, and the meeting started.

All the voices in the arena fell silent, and I saw Ji Yanran in full attire holding a guqin gracefully and gracefully walking up to the stage, saluted everyone, and sat down on the stage.

Ji Yanran put the guqin on the piano case, turned on the golden animal incense burner on the piano case, lit the sandalwood with her hands, and sat upright.

After a long time, the sound of the bell and chime gradually died down, Ji Yanran opened her eyes, chanted with her jade fingers, and a simple and clear melody of the zither spread into everyone's hearts.

The sound of the piano is subtle and long, sometimes like whispers of people, sometimes like clouds and mist, swiftly far away and suddenly approaching, with a natural aura.

All the guests were mesmerized, except Wang Xuebin.

What he likes to listen to are popular things like Peking opera, cross talk, or ditties, and he can't appreciate repertoires like guqin.

But the person who played the piano was his friend after all, and he didn't want to lose face, so he could only close his eyes and imitate Long Yang's appearance, nodding his head from time to time, showing an obsessive scene.

Finally, the sound of the piano faded away, and everyone came to their senses one after another, and began to praise Ji Yanran for her outstanding piano skills.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the peeping eyes of those young masters, one can know the thoughts of these people.

Only a very small number of people sit still, these people either know that their status is humble, or they have real talents and learning, and want to become famous, these people are the targets of Lord Longyang.

Ji Yanran responded to the crowd's attention with a smile, she didn't take it seriously, she had seen this kind of look a lot, for so many years, only two men never looked at her with peeping eyes.

One is Lord Longyang, and the other is Wang Guanlan!

She knew the situation of Lord Longyang very well, and the friendship between the two was more due to their use than their friendship.

She is not sure about Wang Xuebin.

To say that this person is not attractive, he has three wives, one is heroic, one is pure and kind, and the other is charming, all of them are beautiful.

In terms of good looks, Ji Yanran thinks she is the most beautiful in the world, but she has never seen a trace of eagerness in Wang Xuebin's eyes.

This person is both gentle and martial, with an incomparable domineering hidden under his elegant and peaceful appearance. This kind of charm makes her very heartbroken. If she didn't have a bit of self-respect, she might have sent her to her door.

Thinking in my heart, a pair of autumn waves secretly glanced at Wang Xuebin, seeing his calm expression, I couldn't help but feel turbulent again.

She breathed out lightly, suppressed her emotions, stood up, looked at you, and said loudly:

"In the Xiayue Ji family, Tian is the secretary of this political discussion conference. The theme of this political discussion conference is 'Government and Politics'. You can speak freely. I will compile your words into a brief and spread them to the world!"

As she spoke, she held up a roll of bamboo slips, made a gesture, stepped aside from the front desk, and said:

"Mr. Zhu, please come to the stage to give a speech, and listen to the high-level discussion!"

After finishing speaking, he saluted again, then turned around and walked to the table next to Wang Xuebin to sit down, holding a brush in his hand, looking attentively waiting.

At this time, the stage was empty, everyone was quiet, and everyone in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay.

Finally, a scholar stood up boldly, walked up to the front desk, bowed to everyone, and said loudly:

"I am Liang Zizheng of the Xihe School of Confucianism. This political discussion conference is held in the Xihe Pavilion, and I am a half guest host. Therefore, I have the courage to come to the stage and throw bricks to attract jade, everyone! Please!"

A young scholar in Qingjin bowed to everyone in the audience.

Seeing this, Ji Yanran got up and preached:

"I invite Liang Zizheng of the Xihe School of Confucianism to preach!"

Everyone looked solemn and sat upright to listen.

There are various schools in the audience, but no one is making noise. This is respect for knowledge, respect for wisdom, and respect for oneself. This is etiquette!

Liang Zizheng saluted Ji Yanran, did not take a seat, stood up and said:

"Today's words are titled 'Governance'. The rulers, from the water to the platform, mean to divert water to flow back, for repairing and dredging. The politicians originally intended to manage affairs and use force, and later cited them in political affairs and government affairs.

As the name suggests, the so-called governance is nothing more than sorting out government affairs and diverting water to flow.

The problem is to comb, how to comb?To divert water back to flow, what is flow?

Reasonable person, courtesy too!

If you want to rule the world, you must talk about the way of ritual and music!

What is the gift?

Monarch, minister, father, son, son!

Self-restraint and return to ritual is benevolence

If there is benevolence in the world, everything will prosper!

If the king treats his ministers with benevolence, the ministers will treat the emperor with loyalty; if the officials treat the people with benevolence, the people will treat the officials with support!

If the rites are complete, music is indispensable, and if rites and music are carried out simultaneously, the world will prosper even if there is no order, let alone order?

......"

Liang Zi was citing classics on the stage to discuss, and the people in the audience were either happy or angry, or thoughtful or sarcastic, with a variety of expressions.

Wang Xuebin is also listening carefully. What this person said is the most fundamental political proposition of Confucianism, the way of ritual and music.

This is what Confucius pursued all his life, but he has never been successful.

Until Dong Zhongshu came out in the Han Dynasty, who castrated half of Confucius' thoughts, so far the way of ritual and music has completely become a joke.

But at this time, these Confucian disciples really believed that rites and music could create a world of great harmony, and they were indeed dedicating themselves to their political ideas.

Today's Confucianism and later generations of Confucianism are like the difference between the Holy Mother and the Holy Mother whore.

One is to benevolence and a gentleman, so I want to be a gentleman and make the world a better place.

The other is to be a gentleman by self-restraint and courtesy, so I want to let others be gentlemen so that I can live more comfortably.

Because villains never like to stay with villains, just like liars don't like to stay with liars for a reason.

A liar, he often wishes that the world is full of good people, so that it is convenient for him to cheat. The appeal of a liar is kind, but you can never say that a liar is a good person.

Most Confucians in this era are good people, so Wang Xuebin appreciates Confucianism in this era, but appreciation does not mean approval.

"color!"

After Liang Zizheng finished his speech, everyone cheered. Even those who disagreed respected his words.

Because this person is an opponent, the respect for the opponent is also the respect for oneself!

"This remark is inappropriate!"

After applause from the audience, they stood up and raised objections.

Liang Zizheng was not flustered, and stretched out his hand to salute.

"Dare to ask your honor?"

A man in a brown linen robe with bare feet and hanging hair saluted with both hands.

"I'm the Mohist Yuanzong, I've met all of you, and brother Zizheng!"

When Wang Xuebin heard the name, he immediately regained his spirits. He never thought that Yuan Zong would also participate in the Political Discussion Conference, which was a pleasant surprise.

Liang Zizheng walked to the side of the stage, stretched out his hand and said:

"Please Mohist Yuanzong preach!"

Yuan Zong strode to the stage, looked at everyone, raised his hand and bowed to Liang Zizheng.

The one-character teaching of the ancients should be called a teacher, what Liang Zizheng said is the way to govern the world, and it should be treated as a gift.

"Brother Liang said just now that government should be governed by benevolence, rites and music. I think otherwise. This way is not reliable..."

Chapter 161 Political Conference ([-]) Mo Zi Yang Zhu

The theory of Mohism originated from Mozi, and it is the only theory that cannot be accurately described by other schools of thought.

Confucianism is named after Confucianism, Laozi is named after Dao, Shang Yang, Han Fei and others are named after Law, but Mozi’s theory is named after the founder.

Because its thinking is too advanced, it is difficult to generalize!

After Mozi's death, the Mo family was divided into three, Qi Mo, Chu Mo, and Qin Mo.

Qi Mo inherited academics and preached in Jixia Academy, but it has been declining.

Chu Mo inherited chivalry, and they went straight with their swords to help those in danger.

Qin Mo inherited technology, and this school's heart and mind is to create a unified country, so as to realize Mozi's academic thought.

Yuan Zong is a contemporary Mohist Juzi, and a disciple of Meng Sheng, a Mohist Juzi of the previous generation. He is said to be a Mohist Juzi, but he is actually a polished commander.

Qi Mo dwells in the Jixia Academy and doesn't care about worldly affairs. The leader of Chu Mo is now a disciple of Lord Chunshen, and Qin Mo has become an official organization, and only the King of Qin obeys.

The so-called Mohism has actually existed in name only.

"Brother Liang said just now that government should be governed by benevolence, rites and music. I think otherwise. This way is not reliable. The so-called benevolence is really a big lie!

The way of ritual and music is the source of disaster! "

When Yuan Zong said this, Liang Zizheng frowned, but he didn't make a sound, and listened patiently.

Yuan Zong looked around and continued:

"Today, the turmoil in the world is difficult to calm down. If you want to govern, you must carefully investigate the source of the turmoil.

It is like a doctor who cures a disease, but does not know the cause of the disease, so how can he attack it?

In today's world, countries attack each other, families usurp each other, and people steal each other!

What is the reason for this phenomenon?

The king is unfavorable, the minister is unfaithful, the father is unkind, and the son is unfilial!

Why?

Covering the strong and the weak, the many robbing the few, the rich humiliating the poor, the noble and the arrogant, and the deceitful and foolish!

If you want to solve this big disadvantage, you must love each other and benefit each other!

When you look at a country, you look at your country; when you look at a family, you look at your family; when you look at a person, you look at your own body..."

Yuan Zong eloquently expounded Mozi's thoughts on the stage, but frowned underneath. In this era, this theory is far less acceptable than Liang Zizheng's Confucianism.

Mozi's thoughts have gradually disappeared since the unification of the Qin State, and only his chivalrous spirit remains in people's hearts.

What is Mozi's thinking?

Both Confucianism and Mohism advocate love, but Confucianism is about benevolence, and Mohism is about universal love.

There are levels of benevolence. For flowers, plants and trees, we should love, but we don’t need to give benevolence. When dealing with the people, we should give benevolence, not relatives. The highest level of love is reserved for family members.

That's why Confucianism advocates governing the country with benevolence and filial piety, because he believes that a filial person must be a benevolent person, and a benevolent person must be a loyal person.

Confucius admired the Zhou Dynasty, because at that time the relationship between the princes and the co-lords was kinship.

In Confucius' opinion, if you want to rule the world, it is best to go back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. If it is really not possible, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty can do it.

The general love mentioned by Mohists is different from benevolence. It is a love without hierarchy, and it is a love of equality.

Confucianism pays attention to loving relatives first, then loving family, then loving the country, and finally distributing some to the barbarians.

What the Mohists pursue is equality, love others as you love yourself, and love other countries as you love your own country. He opposes war, bullying the weak by the strong, and the strong prey on the weak.

The era he admired was earlier, the era of Yao, Shun and Yu, an era of abdication, an era of equality.

Of course, there is a further one, that is Taoism!
