Chapter 913: Awakening
"The kings and nobles are used to being free, so they don't want to abide by any weekly rules and rituals, and they don't want to be bound by all this. If you promise sir, then! They are cocooning themselves and binding themselves. So! Even if the gentleman's proposition is beneficial to the people, the king and the nobles will not agree to it. Zeng Shen sighed.
"Yes! Where are such stupid kings and nobles? They make a law to bind themselves? Isn't that stupid? So! No matter how good your husband's ideas are, they will not be supported by kings, nobles, and all those in power. What the powerful need is not the law, but power and force, and how to discipline and control others is what they like. Lege sighed.
"Hmmm! Uncle Loeb was right! Zeng Shen said.
"Your husband only sees a bright future, but not reality. He only sees 'how good the future will be if he does it this way', but he doesn't see that this 'if' is impossible to achieve in real life, then! Where does the so-called bright future come from? Without the foundation of 'what if', where is the future? If it doesn't happen, where is the result? ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zeng Shen said: "So my husband's thinking has changed a lot in his later years!" Ever since I came back from my travels around the world, since I followed Uncle Le's teachings, it dawned on me! ”
"Hahaha!" Le Ge laughed and said, "Zeng Shen! Zengzi! You've finally admitted it! Your husband changed under my influence! No! Did you change after you learned the Tao? Hahaha! ”
"Uncle Le!" corrected: "It's not your credit alone!" Uncle Le! Don't be angry! It's true! No! Your words are just wake up! Wake up! ”
"Wake up? What wakes up? ”
"Uncle Le!" Zeng Shen looked at Le Ge and said very seriously: "I, Zeng Shen, am not all affected by you!" I have been to Fang Zhong's side, and I have also been to Uncle Fang Jishi's side, and it was only after listening to the sermons of the three of you that I truly understood and accepted Taoism.
And my sir! Before that! In the past, he went to Luoyi, and he went to the Zhou Tibetan room to consult Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu preached to him. It's just that! He didn't accept it at the time! I'm talking about wake-up! It was I who followed you and went back to explain it to him, and therefore! He remembered Lao Tzu's words. So! It should be called wake-up! Instead of accepting your Taoism! My sir him! It is to accept the Taoism of Lao Tzu! ”
"Sophistry!" Le Ge glared at Zeng Shen and said.
"Not a quibble!"
"You and your husband are both virtuous, but you are unwilling to admit your mistakes, that is, you are not convinced! Hum! Le Ge said.
"Uncle Le!" Zeng saw that Lege was angry, and he was suddenly frightened again.
At this critical moment, if you offend this person, people will ignore you! If people ignore you, who will correct the Analects for you?
"If I hadn't explained it to you, would you have been able to listen to it? You have the same virtue as your husband, and you are unwilling to accept other people's words, and you just can't listen to other people's words and opinions, even if they are right! Isn't it? ”
"Uncle Le!"
"You and your husband Confucius are like this!"
"Uncle Le!"
"Back then, Lao Tzu also had good intentions, and he wanted to provoke your husband and let him accept Taoism. But? He's good! He didn't listen. And! He left the next day! Who are they? What about you? If your husband hadn't pressed you to communicate with us, would you have listened? Isn't it? ”
"This?"
"Don't you admit it? If you don't admit it, forget it! Le Ge said, waving his arm, not wanting to speak.
"Uncle Le! I! Uncle Le! Zeng saw this, and got anxious.
"Your husband Confucius asked you to learn the Tao from us, but in fact, he didn't really come to learn the Tao, but! Come and hear from you! Your husband still wants to smash his doctrinal thoughts, doesn't he? He wanted to find a different way and make his own family! Isn't it? Otherwise! With the virtue of you and your husband, will you be able to listen to us? Are you willing to accept my teachings? Isn't it? ”
"This?" Under Lege's questioning, Zeng Shen felt blushing.
Yes! If it weren't for the sake of making Mr.'s doctrine and thinking more perfect, I wouldn't have bothered to come and learn from you! Where is the Tao? It's infuriating! Come and train me once! If it weren't for the task given to me by my husband, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you!
"You have learned the Tao from us, so go back and explain it to your husband, and the result! The two of you progress together, and just like that, slowly accept Taoism. But! Your virtue! Alas! I'm too lazy to talk about you! Obviously he is a Taoist, but he wants to come up with his own doctrine and thoughts, and wants to be a family of his own! You guys! Selling fame and reputation! You guys! Le Ge said bluntly.
"It's not! No! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen anxiously defended: "We wrote the Analects mainly to commemorate Mr. It's true! There is no idea of leaving a name in history! ”
"That's it! Don't justify! The more you justify it, the more fake it becomes! All right! Do not say! Let's continue to arrange the Analects, and let the past pass! Never mind! ”
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.
"I must mention it again: your husband's Confucius's doctrine and thought can only be used as a moral lesson to educate future generations, not as a philosophy of life to educate people! Do you understand? Your husband's self-cultivation can be passed on. But! The way of life, don't praise and exaggerate! If you follow your husband's way of life, it will be better in the prosperous world. If you are in troubled times, you will only suffer! On this issue, we have already argued before, and we will not repeat it! Go on! Let's read the Analects! "Say! Le Ge stretched out his hand and gestured.
"Uncle Le! I? Zeng Shen wanted to argue again, but he still didn't dare to think about it.
He knows Lege's temper, and if you argue with him, he may really ignore you! Isn't it? The Analects have been arranged to this extent, how can you just give up?
"What are you? You just don't accept Taoism! That's it! Say a few words to you, and you will be angry in your heart! Isn't it? ”
"No, no, no! Uncle Le! I? ”
"Forget it! I know! It's impossible to change you in a moment! Again! Your doctrine and thought have been fused with Taoism in it! Alas! You say you? What's the use of you not admitting it? You've actually admitted it! You? ”
"Uncle Le! Just spare me! I've changed a lot! I? I've listened to you! Uncle Le! Where haven't I changed? I've changed! I'm already a Taoist! Uncle Le! ”
"Gotta get it! Do not say! Let's continue reading the Analects! No, no, no! It is the arrangement of the Analects. ”
