"Oh! When a man is about to die, his words are good! Le Ge looked at Zeng Shen and nodded.

Lege thinks: This is the truth, not a lie. It's not just that Zeng Shen didn't lie, but also Confucius's heartfelt words. And! It's the truth that a person says in private.

People speak differently in front of different people, in different environments, and at different ages. The so-called "walking the talk", that's all a lie. Consistency between words and deeds means that this is the case in a certain environment. Most of the time, people are lying.

Why should people lie and have privacy?

In short: it's all about survival.

Think about it: Can you tell the truth to your enemies? Can you tell someone how much money is in your bank card, where it is and the PIN?

So! Life is full of lies, and lies are told all the time. Those who persuade people to tell the truth are comparing others to fools.

Of course! It's not that you absolutely don't tell the truth. Telling the truth is divided into places, occasions, times, environments, conditions, etc., and it is not something that can be told casually.

"How do we know? Mr. left shortly after? Woooooo Thinking of the past, Zeng Shen cried.

On the day Confucius died, he was not around. That day, he asked at Lege's side. Outcome! When he returned, he found that Confucius was dead.

"Say it! Go ahead! Le Ge waved the back of his hand at Zeng Shen and urged.

"Woooooo Zeng Shen continued: "Sir also said that day: The king's position is built on white bones, and the king's wine cup is filled with blood. This is true of all dynasties and generations, and without force suppression, there will be no peaceful days. Power was supposed to be used to uphold justice, but it was used by kings and others as a tool to suppress dissent. So! The king's extravagant life is all about eating other people's flesh and drinking other people's blood. ”

"This! It's so incisive! Your husband's dying words are the truth! Wei'er sighed on the side.

Lege looked at Wei'er and nodded in satisfaction.

He also said, "The king always wants his power and luxury to be passed on forever, and that his children and grandchildren will always enjoy it like this." And then! This can only be wishful thinking. How is that possible? Others aren't stupid, are they? If possessions can be obtained by plundering, then! Strong people will follow suit. If the throne can be grabbed, then! Heroes all over the world will find a way to take it. ”

"Good! You can say that again! Lege applauded.

I thought: Confucius in his later years has changed a lot! Finally enlightened.

And he said, "If so?" So! The world will be fought for by you, and it will never stop. Today's chaos will never stop. So! This is a no-no! ”

"That? What did you say, sir? Wei'er sat down next to Lege and listened to Confucius's last words. Every now and then, she would chime in.

"Said the gentleman! This is not possible, the world is not a market! The world is not something that can be bought, sold, or exchanged. It's not a sought-after commodity, you buy it today, and tomorrow he grabs it, constantly changing owners. ”

"Hmmm! Good! You can say that again! Lege applauded.

"Said the gentleman! In a word: those who are bold and reckless, they go to fight for the world, and if they succeed, they can become kings! Become the lord of the world, the lord of one side. Those who study can become officials as long as they work hard and get good grades. But! After all, they are just doing something to others. To put it mildly, it is to be a slave to others and to be enslaved. People with good brains, if they succeed in business, they can become rich. And people who are superstitious about books and theories and ignore reality, such as I, Kongqiu, are stupid people. Woooooo ……”

"This, this, this? Why did you say that, sir? Wei'er listened and asked in disbelief.

"It's an exclamation! Lament! Is it a warning to students? Lege explained.

"Woooooo Zeng Shen cried: "We don't believe that Mr. would say this, that he is a stupid person? Woooooo ”

"It means that he regrets it!" Le Ge explained: "With his ability, he can live a good life. And the result! He has not lived a good life all his life, not as good as others. Why is that? He felt that he was a failure and a disappointment. So! There is such an exclamation! His later words matter! In the past, these were just foreshadowing! Zengzi! Say! Keep talking! ”

Zeng Shen continued: "Mr. said: When smart people seize the world, they will claim to 'serve the people' and become masters for the common people. With this slogan, so there will be a lot of followers. But when they succeeded, the original promise was gone. When they have power, they will be revealed. But! They will put it another way and let the common people continue to support him as king. They suppress all opponents, except for all dissidents, but they still coax the common people under the banner of 'serving the people'. Let the common people who don't know the truth think it's true, so they continue to support them as kings. ”

"Hmmm! Good! In his later years, Confucius finally saw the essence of society, the essence of kings, and the essence of certain people! Good! Le Ge replied.

Zeng Shen continued: "The point is here! ”

"What's the point?" Wei'er replied.

"The gentleman said, "So! Those who want to win the world must be good at using the people to get the world first. And then! With power, there is no longer anyone to fear. You can take the method of breaking up the whole and getting rid of those dissidents. Then punish those who make trouble with various crimes, so that others will not dare to mess around. The rest! It's all stupid people. There are a lot of stupid people, just manage the aspects, and you can solve the problem by fooling around, so! The country will be stable. If there are more smart people, the world will be chaotic. These people are bound to rebel and go into turmoil. ”

"This is a policy of fooling the people!" Lege sighed.

"This is Mr.'s exclamation for the world, not Mr.'s opinion!" Zeng Shen explained.

"It's an exclamation! Lament! Sir got to the point! Wei'er replied.

Zeng Shen continued: "Mr. said! People praised King Wu of Zhou and condemned King Yin, but in fact they all had one thing in common. ”

"What do you have in common?" Lege asked with interest.

"They all regard the country and the people as their own private property."

"Didn't your husband and you say, 'Under the whole world, it is not the king's land'? I remember arguing with you about that, too? Isn't it? How? What's the problem? You guys? What did you sir, find? ”

"My husband said: The most feared thing for property owners is to lose their property, so! They will do whatever it takes to protect their property. If you infringe on their interests, the consequences are serious. Quite possibly! will encounter their deadly retaliation. ”

"Hmmm! Not bad! Finally see the essence of some people! ”

"My husband said: Because I was born in troubled times, it is difficult to preserve my property and status. So! There are many kings and nobles who have chosen to live in luxury, and happiness is a moment. They thought: If they die, what is the use of having more possessions? So! They chose to live in luxury. Because they have property, they can do everything. ”。

"Good! To the point! Le Ge replied.

"Yes! Those nobles! None of them knows how long they can live and be rich in this troubled world? So! You can be as extravagant as you can, and you can play as much as you want. It's all one idea: if you miss this village, you won't have this store! Wei'er replied.
