Chapter 979: Chen Heng killed his monarch, Confucius, please ask for it

Zeng Shen explained: "When Mr. talked about Wei Linggong's unrighteousness, Ji Kangzi said: In this case, why didn't he die? The gentleman said: Because he has Zhong Shuyu to receive guests, Zhu Tuo to manage the temple sacrifices, and Wang Sun Jia to lead the army, like this, how can he be defeated? ”

"What do you mean? Let's take a closer look! Le Ge stretched out his hand and gestured and said.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said. Then he further explained: "Zhong Shuyu, that is, Kong Wenzi. Zhu Tuo and Wang Sunjia are both doctors who defend the country. Wei Linggong has these people to assist him, where can he mess up for a while? If there was no one to help him, wouldn't he be dead? ”

"What do you mean? I still don't understand? Lege tilted his ear, looked like he didn't hear clearly, and asked.

Zeng Shen was helpless, so he had to explain again: "What Mr. means: These doctors who assist Wei Linggong have no benevolence, only loyalty!" ”

Lege tilted his ear again and asked, "I don't seem to understand yet, what does it mean?" ”

Zeng Shen smiled mournfully, and continued to interpret: "Wei Linggong has this group of people around him to assist him and help him, where can he perish for a while? That's what it means. ”

"Oh?" Lege nodded at this time.

"What the gentleman means is: With the virtue of Wei Linggong, if there is no one to assist him, he will be dead. What the gentleman means is: When we meet this kind of king, we can help him and help him, but if we can't help him and change him, he has to leave. Such! This kind of king can't get mixed up. As a courtier! It is immoral not to help the king to manage the country well, and to help the emperor to commit abuse. That's what Mr. means! Uncle Le! ”

"Hmmm! Read on! I'll take a look below! Lege let it go and urged.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zi said: "If he is not afraid of his words, it is difficult to do it." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: If you are not ashamed to speak and do not pay attention to the scale? So! It's very difficult to realize these words. ”

"Explain it specifically!" Le Ge said.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen further explained: "Mr. is reminding us: we must pay attention to proportion, be cautious, and keep our words and deeds consistent, and don't say it and then fail to do it!" ”

"Hmm!" Lege nodded. Then he said, "Good! Read on. ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Chen Chengzi killed Jian Gong. Confucius bathed and went to court, and told Yu Waigong: "Chen Heng killed his king, please ask for it." The public said: "Sue the husband and the third son." Confucius said: "After I became a doctor, I dare not tell you." The gentleman said, 'Sue the husband and the three sons'. "The third son sues, no. Confucius said: "After I became a doctor, I didn't dare not tell him." ”

"What do you mean?" Le Ge frowned and asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Chen Chengzi killed Duke Jian of Qi and seized power and became the monarch of Qi. After fasting and bathing, the gentleman immediately went to the court to see Lu Aigong and reported: Chen Heng killed his monarch, please send troops to fight him. Wai Gong said: You go and report to Ji Sun, Meng Sun, and Uncle Sun. After the gentleman retired from the court, he said: Because I used to be a doctor, I didn't dare not report such an important matter, but the monarch said, 'Go and tell Jisun, Mengsun, and Uncle Sun'!" Mr. went to report to Ji Sun, Meng Sun, and Uncle Sun, but Ji Sun, Meng Sun, and Uncle Sun were unwilling to send troops to fight. The gentleman also said: Because I used to be a doctor, I dare not report such an important matter! ”

The state of Lu is jointly governed by Duke Lu and Sanhuan, so! The principals of these three families must be told. Ji Sun, Meng Sun, and Uncle Sun are the Sanhuan family of the Lu State.

"Hehehe!" Le Ge smiled: "Your husband really has no brains!" What do you report? Do you have the ability to crusade against the Qi country? Hey! Is! No one pays attention to him, he is boring, stupid, and deserved! ”

"You?" Zeng Shen said angrily: "Can't you report the murder of the king?" ”

"What the hell is it to report? Or do you ask Lu to send troops? ”

"This?" I couldn't answer.

If it was before? Zeng Shen and Confucius both had the same mode of thinking: first confuse concepts. If you ask him if he's here to report or to send troops? He will confuse the concept as well.

If you point out that sending troops is nonsense, you are ignoring reality and consequences. So! He would say that he had come to report it. Since you're here to report, don't you just have to report it? In fact! He had come to ask for troops.

You said that it is impossible to send troops, and your strength does not allow it. He will say how to "kill the king", Lu Guo does not make a gesture, it is also a violation of Zhou etiquette, and so on. Anyway! He has a point! He is not satisfied with everything you do, and he can find reasons, topics, and handles to accuse you.

In fact! None of this is your concern. A king can't do this, so what's your business?

The relationship between Zhou Li and reality, you should accept reality, not dogma Zhou Li.

I don't know how many times I have participated in the music song, I already know the temper of the music song, and I also know that I can't argue with the music song in the end. So! He's used to it and doesn't fight anymore.

Combined with the context, Zeng Shen wanted to express the meaning: to be a courtier, to be dutiful, to maintain the weekly etiquette, and to maintain the weekly system. Only in this way can a country develop in the right direction and restore the style of the heyday of the Zhou Dynasty.

The idea is good! But! Detached from reality! You only care about maintaining Zhou etiquette and justice, but you have no power and ability, so naturally everything is empty talk, empty talk, and nonsense.

Ideals can't be combined with reality, ideals are just fart! This ideal is useless.

We need ideals, and ideals can be achieved eventually. But! It's not something that can be achieved immediately. We must integrate theory with reality and integrate theory with practice.

Chen Chengzi: That is, Chen Heng, a doctor of Qi State, also known as Tian Chengzi. In 481 BC, he killed Duke Jian of Qi and seized power in Qi. This is the source and source of the historical allusions of "Tian's Dynasty Qi" and "Hou the Thief of the Country".

Chen Chengzi's killing of Qi Jiangong was an "intolerable" thing in the eyes of Confucius. Although he was no longer an official, he still solemnly told Lu Aigong about it. Because! He used to be an official and a doctor.

His request was politely rejected by the mourning duke, and Confucius was very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.

"Oh? I remember! Didn't your husband say before: 'If you are not in your position, you will not be in charge'. How? He was no longer an official at that time, what did it matter to him? Le Ge asked.

"This?" Zeng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Mr. feels that he has the right and obligation to suggest!" It is also a sense of responsibility that a person who has been a doctor should have. Although I can't plan countermeasures, I have the right to suggest and supervise! 'Not in his position, not in his own office' does not mean that he does not ask everything, and it does not mean that even the most basic sense of responsibility is given up. ”

"Hmmm! Good! We don't fight! Read on! Le Ge replied.
