Chapter 961: All Brothers in the Four Seas
"It is said! Sima Niu may have been the younger brother of Song Guo's doctor Huan Wei. ”
"Oh?" The song answered.
Zeng Shen said: "Huan Wei was attacked by the authorities in the Song Kingdom, and the whole family was forced to flee. Sima Niu fled to the state of Lu, worshiped Mr. as a teacher, and claimed that Huan Wei was not his brother. So! Mr. replied to Sima Niu's question about how to be a gentleman, which was pertinent. That is: no worries, no fear, a clear conscience. ”
"Oh? And what's going on? ”
"Yes!"
"Why didn't he say that Huan Wei wasn't his brother?" Lege asked puzzled.
"It is said! Huan Wei made trouble in the Song Kingdom. ”
"Oh?" The song answered.
"So! Mr.'s answer to Sima Niu's question was pertinent, that is, he was not worried or fearful, and he had a clear conscience. ”
"Oh?" Le Ge responded: "It turns out that your husband knows this!" ”
"Yes! Uncle Le! ”
"Read on!"
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.
Sima Niu said worriedly: "Everyone has brothers, and I die alone." Zi Xia said: "Business news: death and life have life, wealth is in the sky." The gentleman is respectful and respectful, courteous and courteous, and all brothers are brothers in the four seas. Why should a gentleman have no brothers? ”
"What do you mean? Or Sima Niu? ”
"Yes! Or Sima Niu! Uncle Le! ”
"Interpret it!"
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.
Sima Niu said sadly: Everyone else has brothers, but I don't have them. Zixia said: I have heard: 'Death and life have life, and wealth is in the sky.' As long as a gentleman takes what he does seriously, does not make mistakes, and treats others respectfully and in accordance with the rules of courtesy, everyone in the world loves and respects each other as if they were their own brothers. Why should a gentleman worry that he has no brothers? ”
'See!' The origin of the 'Brothers in the Four Seas' is here! Le Ge sighed.
Mixed in society, he can often hear this sentence, but he doesn't know the source. Today he learned that this sentence came from the Analects.
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.
"So? Listening to Sima Niu say this, he is really Huan Wei's brother? Did he admit it indirectly? Or! He confessed in private? Is this a public private? Lege asked.
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.
"Read on!"
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen agreed.
Zizhang asked Ming: Zi said: "The infiltration, the skin suffering, not doing it, can be said to be clear." The infiltration of the skin, the skin suffering, do not do it, it can be said that it is far away. ”
"What do you mean?" Lege asked.
Zeng Shen explained: "Zizhang asked how to do it wisely. The gentleman said: The bad words that you secretly provoke like water moisturizers have all been seen through by you; If you can bear a direct slander like a pain in the skin, and all means will not work with you, then you can be considered wise. Bad words and direct slander that you secretly provoke will not work with you, then you can be said to be a great person. "Look at the Book Pavilion
"Oh?" Le Ge nodded and said, "It makes sense!" ”
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said: "Mr. said: If a person wants to be not slandered, he must be a serious person and do things!" ”
"If there are bad people, you can't do things seriously! Alas! ”
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen explained: "As long as you do things seriously, there will be people who support you." Even if a bad guy frames you, I'm afraid it won't succeed! Uncle Le! ”
"Hmmm! Reasonable! Le Ge nodded and said, "Let's stop being dogmatic and continue reading." ”
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.
Zigong asked the government. Zi said: "Enough food, foot soldiers, and the trust of the people." Zigong said: "I must go as a last resort, which of the three comes first?" He said, "Go to the soldiers." Zigong said: "I must go as a last resort, which of the two comes first?" He said, "Go and eat." Since ancient times, there have been deaths, and the people have no faith and cannot stand. ”
"What do you mean?" Lege asked.
Zeng Shen explained: "Zigong asked how to govern the country. The gentleman said that there was plenty of food, there was plenty of armament, and the people trusted the rulers. Such a country can be considered well governed! Zigong said: If the work is not done well and only two are done well, then which of the three items should be removed first? Mr. said: Remove the armament. Food is plentiful, the people trust the rulers, and the whole people are soldiers. There will be no need for an army! Zigong said: If the work is not done well, only one good thing is done, then? Which of these two items should be removed? The gentleman said: Remove the grain. Since ancient times, people have always had to die, just sooner or later. If people do not trust each other, then the state ceases to exist. Faith is the most important thing! With faith, you can overcome all difficulties! ”
"Layers of interrogation?" Le Ge said.
"Yes! Uncle Le! "I have responded to the Dao." Mr. believes that to govern a country, there should be three minimum conditions: food, soldiers, and faith. ”
"Oh?" Le Ge responded: "Your husband puts the letter first, no matter what, the letter must not be lost." Visible! Your husband still sees the ideal future! Didn't see the reality clearly! ”
"How so? Uncle Le! How can a man stand without faith? ”
"It is true that a person does not stand without faith, but! In troubled times, in an unfamiliar environment, we have to talk about survival first! We Taoists believe that survival comes first! You can't survive anymore, what's the use of believing? Isn't it? ”
"My sir!" Zeng Shen stalked his neck and was about to argue.
Le Ge stopped: "We won't raise the bar anymore!" Didn't your husband say that too? There should be soldiers too? Isn't it? Be well-armed, don't you? This shows that he still sees reality. But! He didn't start from a realistic point of view, but pulled away! The seeds have not yet been sown, where will the autumn harvest come from? Isn't it? It is survival first, and then there is credit, integrity, and everything that your husband stands for. Teach others how to survive in troubled times and in any environment. And then! to be able to live according to your husband's set. So! Your husband's set is 'putting the cart before the horse'. ”
"This?" Zeng Shen was in a hurry.
Le Ge stretched out his hand and stopped: "We have argued countless times, no more arguing and arguing!" Read on! ”
"This? Be! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen was not convinced at first, but after thinking about it, he had to respond.
"Still not convinced?"
"It's not!" Zeng Shen said: "Sir said: There is only soldiers and food, and the people do not trust the ruler, then such a country cannot exist." ”
"Taoists don't say that 'faith' is not important, right? And you, sir! He exaggerated the letter! ”
"Why did my husband open up the letter?" Zeng Shen was not convinced again.
Le Ge said: "Taoists think that faith is needed! There needs to be integrity between people. But! Honesty is between people who are familiar with it, not to anyone! Do you understand? And what your husband means is: We must have faith, and without faith no one stands. That means: We are to be true to our word. Don't? Do you have faith in your enemies? Enemies, bad guys want to know where your money is? Your family's income, etc., you also tell him? ”
"How so? Are we not stupid? ”
"With your husband and your education, smart people have become fools! You? Zeng Shen! Zengzi! ”
"This, this, this?"
"What's going on? So! Did you know that your husband exaggerated the 'faith'? He sees only one aspect of the problem, not the whole picture! Don't fight with me! Read on! Lege reprimanded.
"This, this, this?"
