Zeng Shen explained: "Qi Jinggong asked Mr. how to govern the country. Mr. said: Everyone has to play their own role, and there are no rules. Whoever is a monarch should be like a king, a courtier should be like a minister, a father should be like a father, and a son should be like a son. Qi Jinggong said: Well said! If the king is not like a king, and if a minister is not like a minister, if the father is not like the father, and if the son is not like the son, and there is no law of propriety, and no one will give me food, will I be able to eat it? ”

"Good!" The song answered.

Emperor of Qi, reigned from 547 BC to 490 BC.

Zeng Shen further explained: "Mr. told Qi Jinggong that if the monarch, the ministers, the father, and the son, without the constraints of etiquette and law, the monarch dictates the family, and the country cannot be effectively governed." ”

"Oh?"

Zeng Shen said: "What Mr. means is: not only must we obey the law, but the king must also obey the law. Only when everyone abides by the law will the world become orderly. ”

"Hmmm! Good! Read on! Le Ge replied.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen agreed.

Zi said: "The words can break the prisoner, and the reason for it is also the same? Zilu has no promise. ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked habitually.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: If a case can be decided only after listening to a unilateral confession, who else can compare with Zhong You? But! Zilu's words don't count, and he never regrets it the next day. ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen further explained: "Mr. criticized Zilu's sloppy judgment, but at the same time affirmed Zilu's merits! ”

"Oh?" The song answered.

Who Zilu is, Lege still knows. Right! Zilu is such a person, he is a little short-tempered and sloppy. But! He's a man who counts. And also! He's not a bad guy and doesn't have bad intentions.

Zi said: "Listen to the lawsuit, I Jews too." and there will be no lawsuits! ”

"What do you mean?"

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: I have the same method as others in hearing litigation cases. But! The key is not how to hear the case fairly, but how to make the lawsuit happen again! ”

"Hmm!" Le Ge nodded and said: "Your husband's words are to the point, the trial of cases, the handling of cases, and incidents are only to treat the symptoms, not the root cause." Treating the root cause is the foundation, and how to prevent litigation cases from happening again is the root cause. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Le! Thank you! I saw Mr. Lege praise him, and thanked him gratefully.

"But! Your husband just can't see the root of the matter! Of course! That's who he used to be. In his old age! Whether I can see the problem clearly, I don't know! When he came back from his travels around the world, he rarely interacted with me, and basically never came back and forth! Lege sighed.

Zeng Shen explained: "In his later years, he has changed a lot. He's busy and doesn't have time to interact with you. ”

"It's not that he's busy, there's something else! I know! There are many reasons for this! Le Ge said.

Zeng Shen looked at the music song and did not speak.

"The main reason is that because of Kong Li's wife, he is embarrassed to come to the academy and doesn't want to meet Fang Qin. Second! It's hard for him and me to talk to each other. I don't have a common language with him, we know each other! Hehehe! ”

Le Ge knew in his heart that Confucius was bound by Zhou etiquette to associate with him. If it weren't for the relationship between the Qi Guan family, the two would not have interacted.

Confucius was a person who was strict with himself, a person who acted strictly according to Zhou etiquette and behaved as a man. And he sings! He is a free-spirited, casual person. So! Confucius was not used to music. And Lege! I also don't like Confucius, and thinks that Confucius is the best at pretending.

"Uncle Le!" Zeng Shen tried to explain, but still didn't say it.

"Read on!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zizhang asked about politics. Zi said: "Live tirelessly, and be loyal." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Zizhang asked how to govern political affairs. Mr. said: If you are in an official position, you must not slack off. The execution of the royal decree must be faithful, not just a superficial formality, and go through the motions. ”

"Good!" Le Ge responded: "Your husband still sees this clearly!" ”

"Thank you, Uncle Le!"

"Maybe? It's the situation in officialdom that's like this, it's not that he sees it clearly, but it's everywhere. ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! This is everywhere in officialdom, and it is all the personal experience of the gentleman! "Zengsando.

"Hmmm! Good! Read on. ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Then he further explained: "The above is all about how to be an official in politics, and Mr. took the opportunity to answer the question and pointed out: In an official position, you must be diligent in government and love the people, demand yourself with the rules of benevolence and virtue, and govern the country and the people with the principle of courtesy." Through the method of education, we must eliminate civil litigation disputes and implement the decrees of the monarch, so that we can be a good official. ”

"Oh!" Le Ge nodded and said: "It is to teach you how to be officials, and at the same time, it is also pointed out that the king and nobles must also abide by the Zhou system and Zhou etiquette!" Right! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

"Good! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zi said: "Erudite in literature, about courtesy, can also be a husband!" ”

"What do you mean?"

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: A gentleman who extensively studies ancient cultural classics, and can restrain his behavior with etiquette, can be knowledgeable and courteous, and will not deviate from the scriptures." ”

"This is your husband's wishful thinking! Alas! Lege sighed.

"Yes! Neither is it! Zeng Shen said.

"Huh!" Le Ge smiled and looked at Zeng Shen.

He knew: As long as you say a little bad about Confucius, Zeng Shen will not be happy.

This is not the case for one person, but for most of Confucius's students. In particular, those students who believe in Confucius the most are "nurses". As long as anyone dared to say that their husband Confucius, they would attack him en masse.

"This is also the purpose of the sir's education!" Zengsando.

"Hmmm! It was his educational purpose! ”

"Mr. thinks: as long as education is in place, most people are good! Most people are sensible! ”

"So! Your husband has devoted his life to education. ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! ”

"Read on!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zi said: "The beauty of a gentleman as an adult, but the evil of not an adult." The villain is the opposite. ”

"Hehehe!" Le Ge said with a smile: "The phrase 'a gentleman has the beauty of an adult' originally came from here!" ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

"Explain it specifically!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said: "Mr. said: A gentleman accomplishes the good deeds of others, and does not envy others. Do not promote the evil of others, love and hate clearly. The villain is not! The villain is the opposite of the gentleman's approach. ”
