Chapter 407 407. Tian Ji visits his uncle and grandson
"It's so late, I don't know what your Excellency is visiting me for?" Shusun Tong looked at Tian Ji and asked.
Although Tian Ji's status is not higher than Tian Dan's, he was born in the Tian family, and he is also responsible for Qi Xiaobai.
"Mr. Admire!" Tian Ji clenched his fists and said to his uncle and grandson.
Uncle Sun Tong smiled: "What reputation do I have?" You are a vassant of King Huan, and your reputation is far and wide, and you are called a poisoner, and my uncle Sun Tong's reputation is very small compared to your Excellency! ”
"The fame is spread by outsiders, but when I heard about what Mr. did, I found that Mr. is a saint!" Tian Ji looked at his uncle and said.
When Shusun Tong heard it, the corner of his mouth smiled, this is the first time someone has praised his character, what is a saint? That is a person of noble character, and only then can no one be compared, and can be called a saint.
And his uncle and grandson are notorious, when people hear about their uncle and grandson, they subconsciously evaluate that they are ten family slaves.
It is already a very shameful thing for ordinary people to be a house slave with three surnames, and his uncle Sun Tong is a house slave with ten surnames, ten masters before and after.
Can such a person be called a saint? If Tian Ji said to others that Shusun Tong was a saint, I am afraid that others would say that Tian Ji was praising his uncle and Sun Tong with his eyes open.
But what is Tian Ji's status? And what is the status of Shusun Tong? Tian Ji is the Tian family, and he is favored by King Huan, and Shusun Tong has just been appreciated by King Huan at best, and his reputation is notorious, the gap between the two is quite large, is it necessary for him Tian Ji to tout Shusun Tong?
Touting Shusun Tong brought him any benefits to Tian Ji.
"Although Mr. is notorious, what he does is the work of a saint, Tian is very impressed!" Tian Ji said to his uncle and grandson.
Shusun Tong was silent, he knew what Tian Ji was referring to, Tian Ji looked at Shu Sun Tong and said: "It's easy to let good people do good things, but it's quite difficult to let bad people do good things, and that's what Mr. did!" ”
"Even the old-timers of Confucius, who pioneered Confucianism, couldn't do this, but Mr. did this, Tian was very impressed when he learned about it!" Tian Ji said to his uncle and grandson.
The founder of Confucianism, Confucius, who is also called a sage by everyone, is called a sage because he created the view that there is no class in education, although later his descendants threw away his view, but he created this view.
Because of face, the Confucian Academy has always pursued this proposition, and it is also because of the observance of the teachings of the ancestors that many civilian-born characters have come out of the Confucian Academy.
After Shusun Tong came to Yingqiu, Tian Ji went to understand Shusun Tong, he knew that Qi Xiaobai was interested in Shusun Tong, and it may not be long before this Shusun Tong would work with him in the cabinet, and he would also be colleagues at that time, since colleagues get along, they must understand each other.
So Tian Ji went to check the information of Shusun Tong, this check, but found a lot of stains, but Tian Ji didn't care about these, after all, he was called a poisoner, people with this kind of title, the stain may not be less than that of other people's uncles, and the notoriety may not be as bad as the smell of Shusun Tong.
And this flip through it, Tian Ji found a really powerful point of Shusun Tong, which was not observed by others, Shusun Tong has always taught stupid people to become talents, and villains to do good deeds.
Shusun Tong also received a lot of villains, of course, these villains, compared to those heinous villains, are still a little worse, after all, the real villains of other people don't care about his uncle and Sun Tong, after all, they can be evil to a certain level, and they are also very statused people.
But even so, what he did made Tian Ji very impressed, in fact, Qi Xiaobai only saw Shusun Tong trying his best to teach his apprentices, but he didn't see what Shusun Tong really did.
That is to let the fool become a talent, let the villain become a good person, and practice the true Confucian way.
This is what Tian Ji admires, and how many people in this world really study Confucianism? His uncle and grandson are definitely one.
Tian Ji knows that Qi Xiaobai hates Confucianism, in fact, he Tian Ji doesn't like Confucianism either, but Tian Ji knows a little more than Qi Xiaobai, that is, the current Confucianism is hanging a sheep's head and selling dog meat, just a group of people dressed in Confucianism, four are not like it, not a real Confucian person.
And the reason why Tian Ji hates it is also because of this, that is, the current Confucianism people are basically this kind of people, and there are not many people like Shusun Tong who really understand Confucianism.
Even the descendants of Confucius may not have as much Confucianism as his uncle and grandson know.
Shusun Tong just smiled after hearing Tian Ji's words: "At the beginning of people, their nature is good, why people become villains is nothing more than an acquired factor, and as long as I do something, I can still make him transform from a villain to a good person!" ”
"That's why I call Mr. a saint!" Tian Ji looked at his uncle and said.
"The saint can't talk about it, he just does what he can, there are too few good people in this big dispute, and it won't work at all just by talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality!" Shusun Tong said to Tian Ji.
This is the difference between Shusun Tong and Meng Ke, Meng Ke used his mouth to say, to spread his own benevolence and morality, but Shusun Tong is doing, Confucianism contains benevolence and morality, although in the world of great controversy, these theories and opinions are not welcomed, but Shusun informed that this kind of thing can not be lost.
If you lose it, what is the difference between humans and beasts?
But he also knows that no one will listen to these things, and who will listen to them in this world of great controversy? What people are pursuing is how to become stronger and how to dominate the world.
Of course, Shusun Tong actually doesn't like those Confucians, although they are both Confucians, but they are just a group of rotten Confucians, they don't understand the flexibility, and they don't understand the essence of Confucianism, only learn benevolence, righteousness and morality.
I don't know the essence of Confucianism, but what Shusun Tong wants to do is to spread Confucianism not with his mouth, but by action.
If he can turn the villains among his disciples into good people, of course, he doesn't pursue them to become that kind of good people, as long as they don't have evil thoughts in their hearts, after all, these people's moral level is very poor, and it is already a very difficult thing to keep them free of evil thoughts.
Secondly, there is another point, that is, what Qi Xiaobai discovered, Shusun Tong's conscientiousness, Shusun Tong wants to make a fool become a genius, Shusun Tong has always believed that there is no difference between genius and stupidity, as long as you work hard, you can succeed.
This is also the reason why he is so conscientious, he feels that even if his qualifications are mediocre, he can still make a difference and succeed with his acquired efforts.
"I think it's also because of this that Mr. was valued by King Huan and summoned to Yingqiu!" Tian Ji looked at his uncle and said.
Shusun Tong nodded: "No, King Huan summoned me to see that I am different from other Confucian students, but today I have a very happy conversation with King Huan, I believe that I will slowly make King Huan's prejudice against Confucianism slowly change!" ”
