Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

Tianming was stunned: "A military strategist? But this is Xiaoshengxian Village!"

Shaoyu's eyes shone brightly, and his face was full of anticipation, but it was because of it: "Sir, is this not very good?"

"What do you think?"

Gao Jing said unhappily: "The core word of Confucianism is "learning"!" The first sentence of the "Analects of Confucius" said: "Learning should be practiced from time to time", and apply what you have learned to practice. !"

"Is that so?" Tianming nodded repeatedly and said, "Then tell me, sir, Shaoyu will definitely want to hear it."

Shaoyu also said respectfully: "Please advise, sir."

Gao Jing smiled, looked at Shaoyu, and said, "Then do you know what the essence of a military strategist is?"

Tianming scratched his head and said, "I don't know."

After thinking for a while, Shaoyu said: "Mr. Hui, it should be "Victory"?"

"Big mistake!"

Gao Jing said seriously: "Nowadays, all the people in the world who call themselves "military strategists" have ignored the essence of military strategists, which is "Zhi Ge"!"

"Stop?"

Shaoyu was puzzled and said: "But aren't military strategists born for war?"

"Uncle Qin marries a daughter, putting the cart before the horse!"

Gao Jing hated him and said: "In the past Qin Mugong married his daughter Huaiying to Jin Gongzi, and prepared a very generous dowry, and there were as many as 70 concubines in gorgeous clothes.

When newly married to the state of Jin, the people of the state of Jin saw that the dowry women were so beautiful, so they all wanted to find a dowry concubine to take home, but they thought that the ruler of the state of Qin was not as beautiful as the concubine, and despised the concubine of the state of Qin. King.

The same is true of today's military strategists, all their minds are on how to win the battle, but they forget that the original intention of the military strategist was to not fight, for peace!

To kill and comfort others is acceptable; to attack the country and love its people is acceptable; to end war with war is acceptable.

If killing can calm the people, then you can kill.If you attack a country and love the people of the other side, then you can attack; if you start a war to prevent a war, then you can fight!

If you don't want to be killed, the best way is to pick up the sword yourself.

This is the essence of military strategists, the original purpose!

Therefore, the opening chapter of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" said: Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be investigated!

There are also: "Soldiers who subdue others without fighting, those who are good are also good", and "The first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city."

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" emphasizes throughout, don't start a war easily!

It's a pity that today's military strategists are all focused on how to win after launching a war, completely forgetting that war is the last resort! "

Tianming excitedly said: "Brother Gao is right, it would be best if there would be no more wars in the world!"

Shaoyu was shocked and wanted to refute, but 210 was speechless.

Gao Jing breathed out, and said, "That's why people in the world divide wars into "just wars" and "unjust wars".

For example, there are seven people in this dormitory, each of them is holding a weapon, and they disagree with each other, and everyone fights together, you kill me, I kill you, is this kind of a dormitory good? "

Tianming blurted out, "Of course not!"

Gao Jing continued to ask: "Then what is the solution?"

Tianming thought to himself, "All of them put down their weapons?"

"Who will let it go first? Who will let it go later?"

Gao Jing asked: "What if someone listens to your advice and is the first to put down his weapon, and the others rush forward and kill him?"

Tianming was stunned for a while, before saying: "Then put down the weapons together."

Gao Jing continued to ask: "Then what if someone hides a weapon secretly? As long as everyone else puts down their weapons, the person who hides the weapon will become the boss of the school, and others will have to obey him."

"Snapped!"

Tianming clapped his hands abruptly, and suddenly said: "Then I will be the boss and subdue them all, so that everyone will stop fighting!"

"That's what war is about."

Gao Jing smiled, then turned to Shao Yu and asked, "What do you think of Tian Ming's statement?".

Chapter 270 The Conflict Between Confucianism and the Empire

Shaoyu thought for a while, and said: "I should be the boss, Tianming can't do it, his martial arts are too poor, he can't beat so many people."

Tianming suddenly became angry: "You are my little brother, I can send you to fight for me."

Shaoyu said disdainfully: "It's a beautiful idea!"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing."

Gao Jing dissuaded them, and said with a smile: "Will you allow others to continue to carry weapons no matter which one of you is the boss?"

Tianming said decisively: "No, what if the fight continues?"

But Shaoyu said: "What are you afraid of, as long as I am the strongest, I will not allow them to fight, even if they have weapons."

Gao Jing smiled and said: "But some people want to kill people with weapons, you don't allow them to fight, they join hands to fight you, but you can't fight, what should I do?"

Shaoyu proudly said: "How could I lose?"

Tianming said dissatisfiedly: "If you want me to say, it's better for everyone not to carry weapons...Of course, except for me, the boss."

"Ok."

Gao Jing looked at Shaoyu, and said: "You are the strongest now, others dare not do it, but you can't be on guard all day long, if you can't fight head-on, won't you plot against him? When you are beaten to death, this school will Aren't they going to fight together?"

Shaoyu was speechless, thought about it, and sighed: "Then no one is allowed to carry weapons except me."

Satisfied, Tianming said, "The result is not the same as what I did?"

"You see, you fight with weapons to achieve the purpose of preventing the fighting, that is, "stop fighting". This is the original intention of the military strategists."

Gao Jing sighed, and said: "In the past, this world was just like the school I just mentioned. There were seven countries fighting each other, and countless people died."

Shaoyu trembled all over, his eyes fixed.

Tianming didn't realize it, and excitedly said: "I know, later Qin unified the world and became the Han Empire, and there will be no war in the world¨.."

Gao Jing smiled and asked, "Then you think it's so unified, okay?"

Tianming nodded and said, "Of course!"

Gao Jing turned to look at Shaoyu, and asked, "Shaoyu, what do you think?"

Shaoyu remained silent.

Tianming asked puzzledly: "Shao Yu, why didn't you answer? Isn't this bad? Let's just kill everyone?"

Shaoyu shouted irritably, "Shut up!"

Tianming was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Shaoyu, what's wrong with you?"

"It's not too early."

Gao Jing suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Yesterday we talked about the "five elements" of Confucianism, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith, and today we talked about the hatred between the Mohists and the public losers. He also said that the essence of the military strategist is "stop fighting".

This is the end of today's class, you go back and think about it carefully, if you still want to listen to it tomorrow, I will wait for you here. "

After finishing speaking, Gao Jing got up, smiled at Shaoyu, patted Tianming's head, and left the school on his own.

……

After Gao Jing left, Tianming greeted Shaoyu, but found that Shaoyu was still in place.

Turning around Shaoyu, Tianming wondered, "Shaoyu, what's wrong with you?"

Shaoyu took a deep breath and said, "Don't you find it strange?"

Tianming was puzzled: "What's so strange?"

Shaoyu said: "This Mr. Gao is too knowledgeable."

Tianming was even more puzzled: "Brother Gao, isn't he knowledgeable?"

"Your heart is really big!"

Shaoyu shook his head, and said: "He is a Confucianist, but he can explain the "Five Constants" of Confucianism in a language that even you can understand, and he can also use the allusions in "Mozi" that even the leaders of the Mohist school do not know. "Chivalry" can also be clearly explained, and it also refers to the Taoist saying that "there is no question about the Tao, and there is no answer to the question".

Even I, a member of the military family, don't know the nature of the military family, but he can clearly say it... Do you really believe that he is just a teacher in Xiaoshengxianzhuang? "

"Forehead……"

Tianming thought for a while, and said: "Old man Ban has already said that brother Gao is very powerful, and my uncle also said so, it is normal for brother Gao to be so powerful."

Shaoyu suffocated: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you, anyway, this Mr. Gao is not simple...

Wuchang, hatred, Zhige... I always feel that he has something to say. "

……

"Master, Gao Jing is rude."

I didn't see Fu Nian yesterday, but Gao Jing officially showed up today, so I had to come.

Fu Nian also bowed and said: "I have seen my uncle, when will my uncle return to Xiaoshengxianzhuang?"

Gao Jing said with a smile: "Yesterday, I came back. I was exhausted all the way, and I didn't bother the head. The head is sorry for the impoliteness."

"Fu Nian dare not."

Fu Nian's complexion was complicated, and he said hesitantly, "¨Fu Nian's bluntness has deepened the conflict between Confucianism and the empire. I have let down my uncle's painstaking efforts. Please forgive my sin."

Gao Jing shook his head and said, "What did the head say. Although you are the head of Confucianism, you can only coordinate the various departments of Confucianism, and cannot really be the master... This is their own choice and has nothing to do with the head."

"Thank you, Uncle, for your understanding."

Fu Nian heaved a sigh of relief, and could not help showing a trace of exhaustion on his face. He said, "Confucianism has various philosophies, but most of them agree with the rule of the empire, but there are slight differences in some systems..."

Gao Jing sighed, and said: "There is a little difference here, there is a little difference there, and the accumulation of small things eventually makes the two sides completely opposed... In the final analysis, it is the opposition between interests and ideas."

Fu Nian was silent for a while, and said: "What the uncle said is true."

As I said before, the Confucian Duan Qian in Hexi's "economy and economic use" chose to cater to the king and serve the king, which was inconsistent with Confucian orthodoxy, and was called "heresy".

In other words, except for this Confucianism (good Zhao Wang), all the orthodox Confucianism will not cater to the king, but hope that the king will obey his own...otherwise he will not serve him!

With Shi Huang's character, besides Gao Jing, who else would he spoil?Not to mention Confucianism.
