"Troubled times? There are countries in troubled times, huh? Zeng Shen asked rhetorically. Under the whole world, it is not the king's land! ”

"Well said! Zengzi! Lege applauded. Forthwith! His expression changed, and he said, "It seems that I debated with you before!" Zengzi! How did you forget it again? ”

"Uncle Le? What have we debated before? Zeng Shen didn't think about it for a while, and asked.

"We seem to have debated before! You asked me to repeat it, I probably couldn't. Roughly speaking, the state belongs to the state, and the managers of the state and the managers of the state have different concepts! The state is a social phenomenon that has emerged in human history and may exist for a long time. When the cultural viewpoints and ideological views of mankind have not yet been unified, or when the various ideas of mankind have not yet reached integration, tolerance, and tolerance, there will also be hostile thoughts, and the state may have to exist. ”

"This?"

"Didn't your husband say that too? If you live according to his doctrines and thoughts, the world will be the same. Later doctrinal ideas, there was also communism. The meaning is probably the same, that is! At that time, humanity will have no concept of a state, and the state will no longer exist! ”

"This?"

"As long as there is no unity or tolerance of human thought, and as long as there are hostile ideas, the state will continue to exist together. But! A country is a state, and the people's lives are different depending on the managers of the state. If only the manager only cares about himself, or! They can't take care of the majority of the people, so that the majority of the people can't live, only a few people live well, and the few people control the majority of people who can't live, then! Troubled times are coming. ”

"This?"

"Troubled times have nothing to do with the existence of the country!"

"This?"

"And! A country still exists, but it has no administrators. So! It's troubled times. ”

"This?"

"What are troubled times? It's just that the world is in chaos, and those who hold power say the count. People who have no power stand aside and have no chance of survival, this is the troubled times. Those who have no chance of survival, they feel that they can't live if they don't fight for it, anyway, it's better to die. Outcome! Troubled times are coming. ”

"This?"

"This time! Everything that your husband Confucius has built will only make people very passive. ”

"How so?"

"Your husband teaches students and the world to cultivate self-cultivation and moral character, doesn't he?"

"Yes!"

"But did you think of it? In troubled times, who still talks to you about morality? Isn't it? ”

"This?" Zeng Shen argued: "If we don't talk about morality and have no moral bottom line, then! Society will only get more chaotic! Mankind will never be at peace! ”

"Right?" The song answered.

"So! We have to start with ourselves and be of good character. To be a man, you must have a bottom line, and you must do what Mr. said. No matter how chaotic the world is, how immoral others are, we must maintain our own discipline! Have to have discipline! We must be people according to Mr.'s requirements, and be honest with ourselves! Set a good example for people! ”

"Zengzi!" Lege interrupted: "About this question! We've talked about it before! It seems to have been discussed! How did you forget again? ”

"Me?" Zeng Shen hurriedly stopped.

In the past, he not only argued with Le Ge about this issue, but also debated with Fang Zhong and Fang Jishi. But? If he was asked to change his opinion for a while, he felt that he could not do it.

Oh, yes! We don't have discipline anymore, so isn't this society more chaotic?

So! No matter how immoral others are, we must have the discipline and bottom line of being a human being.

"We've argued about this before, and I've accused you! Isn't it? Do you forget you? In troubled times, the purpose is to survive. So! In order to survive, we have to learn to be flexible. If others don't talk to you about morality, what kind of morality do you talk to others? Can you talk to the enemy about morality and reason? The enemy is the brute! Isn't it? I remember when I used to argue about this, I scolded you! Isn't it? Did you forget? ”

"This?"

"In troubled times, doesn't it mean that you completely give up the good qualities of life that your husband taught you? But! Learn to be flexible! In troubled times, others may become your enemies in order to survive. So! If you want to talk to them about morality, integrity, etc., you may be taken advantage of and deceived. ”

"This?"

"I remember Zigong said! When he first followed your husband Confucius, he was very simple and felt that what Mr. said was very reasonable. Outcome! I have suffered a lot of losses in business. After suffering a loss, he woke up: there is no integrity to talk about with enemies and strangers who are not familiar with him. There is a risk of paying for the money in one hand and delivering the goods in the other, and the enemy may take advantage of your inattention afterwards to snatch it.

So! There are risks associated with paying for money and delivering goods in one hand, and it is necessary to find ways to prevent such situations from occurring afterwards. What do you think? That's real life. And what your husband taught you is only among those who are familiar with it. In front of strangers and enemies, it is worthless. In troubled times! The same is worthless. ”

"This?" Zeng Shen remembered the previous arguments with Le Ge, Fang Zhong, and Fang Jishi on this issue, so he didn't argue this time.

Originally, this is the truth: Mr. Confucius's set is only prevailing in the prosperous age. In troubled times, if you are still like this, you will only suffer a loss.

"Actually! And not just in troubled times. In the heyday, there is also a dark side. As long as there are hostile minds in human beings, there will be enemies. As long as the various ideas of human beings cannot tolerate each other, there will be enemies. So! Your husband Confucius's set of self-cultivation methods seems to be a high-level civilization and noble character of human beings, but in fact, it makes believers suffer and be deceived everywhere. ”

"So? Why does the doctrine of the gentleman have so many followers, applauded? Zeng Shen argued.

"This question! We seem to have argued before! Hehehe! Zengzi! Have you forgotten? ”

"Me?"

"People don't really applaud! Or! They applauded that others should be students of Confucius and cultivate their moral character in this way. And themselves, with exception! They told you all to be fools, but they themselves were smart people and came to enslave you fools! ”

"This?"

"Zhou rites, Zhou system, why did the Great Zhou Dynasty decline to such a point? Here's why! Weekly rites and weekly systems are all good things, as a result! It is only a tool to restrain and restrain the common people. And their aristocracy is an exception, and the powerful are exceptional! ”

"This?" Zeng Shen wanted to argue, but was interrupted by the song.

"Don't argue! And you argue with me that not all the nobles are like this! Or! Some of those in power are also bent on serving the people! Isn't it? You don't have to argue! You are dogmatic to argue like that. Yes! Some aristocrats are not like that! This is not the case with some of the powerful! But! The whole social atmosphere has become like this, and a few people who are not like this cannot turn things around! Do you understand? ”。

"This?"

"So! To sum it up! Your husband's doctrine and thought can only have its historical role and existence value under a specific environment and in the case of absolute prosperity. In troubled times and in an unfamiliar environment, it will only make believers suffer and be deceived......"
