Chapter 895 - Talking about Politics Chapter 1
Because of something, Zeng Shen was reluctant to drink so much. Out of politeness, he had to accept the kindness of the wolf sister and aunt and drink as much as he could.
Lege didn't want to be embarrassed, so he covered for him and didn't let the wolf sister persuade him to drink.
"Then you have to eat vegetables, I'm not happy if you don't eat more." The wolf sister saw that she couldn't persuade the wine anymore, so she had to change to persuade the dish.
"Eat vegetables! Eat vegetables! Le Ge had to rely on the wolf sister and persuade Zeng Shen to eat vegetables.
If you don't meet her little request, with the temper of the wolf sister, you will be anxious.
"Good, good! Eat vegetables! Eat vegetables! My aunt's cooking is to my taste! I love to eat! Zeng Shen complimented.
"Eat! Eat more! Eat this! Sister Wolf thought that Zeng Shen really praised her, and she was even more happy, and persuaded her vigorously.
After lunch, after the wolf sister cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Le Ge and Zeng Shen began to talk about the "Analects" "for politics".
Because of the alcohol, the voices of both of them were very loud, as if they were arguing. In fact, it is not a quarrel, but a natural reaction under the influence of alcohol.
Under the testimony of Lege, Zeng Shen had to admit that the content of the political article was too much and too confusing, and he had no clue.
"Streamline! Streamline! Streamlined! Alas! Le Ge sighed.
Zeng Shen had no choice but to erase the redundant and repetitive parts with pen and ink in front of Uncle Lege Le.
"Uncle Le! You see! After Zeng Shen erased the part that he thought was superfluous, he handed the bamboo slip to Uncle Lege with both hands.
Le Ge glanced at it and said, "I'm too lazy to look at it, you can watch it again yourself, according to what I said, you can see and decide for yourself!" Since it is a 'political chapter', we have to point to the 'political chapter'. Your first sentence is not a point! Isn't it? ”
"Where?" Zeng Shen had no choice but to take the bamboo slips back and look at them seriously.
"See for yourself? Is the first sentence redundant? You removed it, maybe it's fine! ”
"This?" Zeng Shen looked at it very suspiciously, and the result! Discovery: It seems that it is really like that! I had to say, "So? What if I jumped right on this? How is it? ”
"See for yourself! Don't you keep asking me? Le Ge said, closing his eyes and ignoring Zeng Shen.
"Uncle Le! I? Zeng said, "How about this? Uncle Le! Don't you ignore me? ”
"You're going to test me? I'll test you! Say! Why is it changing? Say! Why is it so choreographed? You can't even tell the reason, you make it up randomly, and then let me change it? I ignore you? ”
"Uncle Le! I say! Are you okay with me? Zeng Shen said pleadingly.
"Tell me about it! Why is it so choreographed? ”
"Hmmm! Uncle Le! Zeng couldn't participate in the music, so he had to justify himself and talk about it.
The previous "Learning and Chapter" was interpreted to him by Lege, and he seemed to be the examiner examining Lege. Right now! It's the other way around! Le Ge became an examiner and took him as a student.
It was meant to be! You're here to ask someone for advice, and you become: Test someone else!
"Uncle Le! I deleted the previous one and jumped directly to it! ”
"What are you talking about?" Le Ge asked, without opening his eyes.
"Zi said: For politics and morality, such as Beichen, live in its place, and all the stars are together." Zeng Shen Dao.
Only then did Le Ge open his eyes and said, "That's right!" If you don't start with the topic, where is the 'political chapter'? Isn't it? ”
"Yes! Uncle Le's lesson is yes! Zeng Shen was wrong! Yes! I deleted the previous words and made it more streamlined! Thank you Uncle Le! Thank you! ”
"Then you say! What do you mean by that? ”
"This?" Zeng Shen paused for a moment, and had to say, "Mr. said! If the king governs the country with moral education, and deals with civil and government affairs, instead of using severe laws to restrain and kill the people, or hostile people. So! The ruler will be like the Big Dipper, and the stars will surround him. ”
"Isn't that all there is to it? Straight to the point! And then! The rest of the content is arranged around this theme, and it has become another thought of Confucius! Ideology for politics! Isn't it? Lege said.
"Yes! Uncle Le! Thank you Uncle Le! ”
"Don't talk nonsense! Orchestrate it even further! What's next? Say! Lege urged.
Zi said: There are 300 poems, in a word, he says: "Thinking is innocent." ”
Zeng Shen was about to continue reading, but was interrupted by the music song.
Le Ge said: "This passage is arranged here, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with 'politics' Mao? ”
"Uncle Le!" Zeng Shen paused for a moment and explained: "It doesn't seem to matter, but! But it matters! ”
"Say!"
"On the surface, Mr. is talking about the Book of Songs, but he is actually talking about 'politics'."
"Oh?"
Mr. said: There are more than 300 articles in the Book of Songs, which can be summed up in one sentence, that is: pure thought. It is the straightforwardness of people's hearts and the straightforwardness of human nature. ”
"Oh? What do you mean? ”
"What Mr. means is: the social atmosphere should be like the Book of Songs: thinking without evil!" Zeng Shen explained.
"Oh?" Le Ge responded: "After you said so? Like this irrelevant remark? Can it be reasonably arranged here? ”
"Huh!" Zeng Shen smiled bitterly: "Yes! ”
"And then?" Lege asked.
Zi said: The way is to govern, all to be punished, and the people are free and shameless; The way is virtuous, all are courteous, shameful and qualified.
"What does that mean?" Lege asked.
"The gentleman said, "Use the law to regulate the behavior of the people, and use the criminal law to punish the people's irregularities, and the people only seek to avoid punishment for their actions, but they do not know what is right and what is wrong." Even! I don't even know shame anymore; Use moral education to guide the people, and use etiquette to regulate the words and deeds of the people. After letting the people know what is right and what is wrong, they not only have a sense of shame, but also abide by the rules. ”
"This sentence? Sounds reasonable, huh? ”
"Uncle Le? Don't? Doesn't it make sense? ”
"Yes!" Le Ge nodded: "As far as the matter is concerned!" Makes sense! ”
"Uncle Le! What do you mean? Don't? Can't you just take things as they are? ”
"Treating things is the same as treating a disease with quacks, it only cures the surface, but not the root cause!" Le Ge said.
"Uncle Le? You? Zeng Shen said unconvinced: "Could it be? Can society not be governed? My husband ∵ said: When he talked to Lao Tzu about Taoism, Lao Tzu said that Taoist thought is fundamental, but! Do you still have to practice society? What Lao Tzu means is: society still needs us to govern. The ideal is the ideal, and the reality is the reality. Theory belongs to theory, and in the end, it must be practiced and applied to reality! Uncle Le! ”
"I'm picking! Zeng Shen! Don't rush with me! Didn't I say that? Is what your husband said right? Isn't it? I'm complimenting you, sir! Hehehe! ”
"Then you say! How to cure the root cause? ”
"Don't talk about the root cause! Let's talk about 'politics' first! Lege conceded defeat.
