Chapter 871: Did Confucius Have His Last Words on His Deathbed?
"Where?" Zengsando.
"That's what you say, but who knows what's going on in your heart?" Lege said.
"Uncle Le!" Zeng Shen got up, knelt down for Lege, and said, "Zeng Shen doesn't dare or don't count Uncle Le!" If Zeng Shen had cared about Uncle Le, he wouldn't have come to Uncle Le. It was Zeng Shen who was stupid, and Zeng Shen couldn't be flexible, and he couldn't change himself for a while, which made Uncle Le angry. It's not good! I have participated in kowtowing to you! ”
Talking! Zeng Shen kowtowed three times.
"What are you doing here? What are you doing here? You? Wei'er happened to come out with the food, and when she saw Zeng Shen kowtowing to Lege again, she was immediately unhappy with Lege. said to Le Ge with a black face: "Anyway, Zeng Zi is also a person with a face, a person who is respected. Why did you come to you and treat him like this? You? Still not helping him up? ”
"Hehehe!" Lege smiled at Wei'er without taking it seriously.
"It's rare for people to come back, and you toss people like this? How many times have you kowtowed, and how many times have you been trained? Who do you think you are? Do you really take yourself seriously? You? People take you seriously because they respect you. Hello! Do you really take yourself seriously? ”
"That's it!" Lege pulled his face down and shouted. And then! said to Zeng Shen: "Get up! What are you doing? Kowtow to me at every turn? You see! Your aunt scolded me! Alas! Are you cleaning me up in disguise? Let your aunt clean me up? Get up. ”
Zeng Shen got up at this time, sat down in his seat, and sat there with a serious face.
Wei'er saw that Le Ge was angry, so she didn't dare to say more. If the two quarrel, it will be even worse, and it will only make Zeng Shen very embarrassed.
After a while, the meal was served. Eating and sleeping, the two began to eat.
After eating, Zeng Shen did not leave.
Usual! Zeng Shendu did it after eating for a while and left. He's very busy and doesn't have much time to waste on Lege's side. People who are very busy have a strong sense of purpose, and they leave immediately when they achieve their goals.
Isn't that today? He came specifically to let Lege read the script. Outcome! Le Ge didn't read it, and scolded Zigong for publishing the book.
Isn't it? Didn't achieve the goal? So! He's not going to go.
Furthermore! Zigong published a book, which also made him very embarrassed.
If it is not finalized as soon as possible, the consequences will be unimaginable! Once Zigong's version of the Analects was disseminated, many people would misunderstand the Analects. No! It is a doctrine that can mislead people about Confucius.
To know! Zigong has money. He was willing to spend money on this matter, on all things of Confucius. As long as someone wants it, he will only issue it in unlimited quantities. As long as he has money, he will only issue it in the greatest amount he can.
Imagine! The "Analects" that doesn't cost money, give it to others for nothing, and others don't want it? Not to mention being a book collection, it's also very good to be a firewood? The winter in the north is very cold, isn't it okay to use bamboo slips as firewood for heating? Isn't it?
So! As long as someone gives, someone will ask for it.
So! Only by finalizing the draft as soon as possible and printing out the Analects, which will not be misunderstood or misinterpreted, will we not cause more serious consequences.
"Why don't you leave?" Seeing that Zeng Shen didn't look like he was leaving, Le Ge asked puzzled.
If Zeng Shen can't leave, he won't be able to cultivate the Taoist mind. So! He had to hurry.
Anyway, that's what happened: it was Zeng Shen who wanted to arrange the Analects, and he didn't arrange it. So! It's none of his business. Have you ever participated in it, you don't arrange it? I didn't say it all just now, you just arranged it on the basis of the first draft, and it shouldn't be wrong.
"Uncle Le? I? Zeng Shen said hesitantly: "Me? I'm anxious, but there's no way to change it? I? I would like to finalize the draft of the Analects as soon as possible. Otherwise! Zigong doesn't know how much he has to burn! ”
"This?"
"If there are too many people who want it, with Zigong's temper, if he doesn't have enough money, he will probably gather all of us over and let us all raise funds! It's true! What if that's the case? I don't know how many volumes of books will be burned? ”
"If it's passed down from generation to generation? It will be another version! So! It had to be finalized early. Wei'er came out of the kitchen after washing the pots and bowls and said.
"You?" Lege looked at Wei'er and answered.
"Auntie!" Zeng Shen looked at Aunt Wei'er gratefully and thanked him.
"The problem is not with me! Alas! Le Ge sighed: "I have participated in him!" There are many things that don't tell me, don't want to say, don't want to change. Can't say! Shall I arrange the Analects? Even if I arrange it, Zigong doesn't know if they can pass that level? The key now is: Zigong and they swayed Zeng Shen, so that Zeng Zi himself couldn't make up his mind. Alas! ”
"Zengzi! You? Wei'er persuaded: "Your Uncle Le also told me that the key is not Zigong them, but you!" You're swayed by Zigong and them, and you can't make up your mind. So! You can't be swayed by them, you have to make your own decisions. You have to be responsible for your husband and arrange a book that can comprehensively and correctly interpret the Analects of your husband's doctrine and thought, instead of the Analects that Zigong and they want to see. ”
"Thank you, aunt! Thank you! ”
"What's the use of you thanking me? The key is that you decide to change for yourself! Wei'er said.
"Yes! I decided to change! I've decided! I? said so, but Zeng Shen immediately became depressed.
Oh, yes! I was swayed by Zigong and others, so I couldn't finalize it. But? Can you not be swayed? You don't have the money, you have finalized it, can you burn it and publish it by yourself?
With his current financial resources, he could not have burned many copies of the Analects.
If we want to spread Confucius's doctrine and ideas widely, we can only rely on the financial resources of Zigong and others.
Only by burning countless copies of the Analects can Confucius's doctrines and ideas be disseminated to the world.
"You're telling me the truth? Did Confucius's thinking change in his later years? Are you telling me the truth? Don't you disadmit it! Lege asked.
All the time! Zeng Shen didn't want to mention it. He only acknowledges that Confucius's ideas and views changed in his later years, but does not give examples. And also! Is there any conflict between Confucius's ideas and views in his later years and those of his youth? His students have a large age span, and if the early students and the later students do not agree with the ideological views, then! In the compilation of the Analects, there is no unanimity.
So! Le Gecai kept asking Zeng Shen. Only Zeng Shen has always accompanied Confucius in his later years. So! Only he knows.
"This?" Zeng thought about it and finally made a decision. said: "It can also be said that it is the last words of the husband!" Then! More than a dozen of our students were around and he felt good in physical condition. So! That's a lot to talk about. The words of the day! Everyone has heard it, it should be regarded as the last emotion and last words before dying, right? When they heard this, they were amazed. I'm the only one! Not surprising at all! This? Maybe it's the ideology of Mr. in his later years? ”
