"Sir!" Zeng Shen continued: "As long as you do what they like and do what they want, you can coax them like a little baby, and you can gain their trust." If you understand what I am saying, you will play with the king, the nobles, the powerful. Knowing what I'm talking about, it will be much easier for you to get along with your colleagues. You can deal with your colleagues with the help of those in power as easily as picking up a feather. With the backer of the power person, and the ability to skillfully deal with colleagues, then! You'll be soaring in no time......"

"Isn't this what Confucius said? Isn't this what Confucius said? Wei'er listened and asked in disbelief.

"It's my husband who said that! Aunt! Zeng Shen admitted.

"Hehehe!" Le Ge smiled: "This is what Confucius said in his later years, the words of death!" It's also his heartfelt words! He finally saw through life! But! That's not the point of saying these words! The point of these words should be still behind, listen to Zengzi continue! ”

"Said the gentleman! If you don't? The king, the nobles, and your master will be like a tiger, and your colleagues will be the claws of a tiger. When the time comes! You die without knowing how you died? It's not that I'm alarmist! It's true! For example! When I fell into Sandu, wasn't it? I almost died at Fang Zhong's hands! Isn't it? Because it was Fang Zhong, I didn't die. If it had been someone else, I would have died a long time ago. It's true! If you die, you won't know who killed you! ”

"Woooooo At this time, Fang Qin happened to come in. Hearing Zeng Shen talking about her brother, she cried.

She never imagined: Confucius would say this about her brother before he died?

She knew something about the fall of Sandu back then. If it hadn't been for his brother Fang Zhong to stop him, Confucius would have succeeded in falling into the three capitals. But! Fang Zhong only prevented Confucius from falling into the three capitals, but did not harm Confucius. If he hadn't played a role in it, Confucius might have been killed by Lu Gong and Ji.

"You?" Zeng saw Fang Qin coming, and was startled.

"Hehehe!" Le Ge hurriedly greeted: "Didn't say anything bad about your brother, isn't it?" Mention the past! Can you sit back and continue listening? ”

Wei'er stretched out her hand and gestured for Fang Qin to sit beside her.

"Woooooo Fang Qin cried and sat next to Aunt Wei'er.

"Isn't it? What Confucius said before he died, trained Zeng Shen and others. Just give an example, nothing else! Zengzi! You continue. ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said, glancing at Fang Qin. It's true! He felt embarrassed.

Then he said, "My husband said: If you meet a foolish king and master, then! You've got a chance! If it is a king, then! You should not hesitate to take his throne. Now in this world, the power of the Son of Heaven is empty, as long as you seize the throne of the king and send tribute to the Son of Zhou, he will recognize you as a king. Alas! The gentleman sighed: What kind of world is this? Is there still justice? ”

"And then? What did your husband say? Wei'er asked.

"Your husband has a lot to say this time!" Lege sighed.

"And then! My husband taught us how to govern the country! Zeng Shen said.

"That? What did your husband say? ”

"This?" Zeng Shen smiled sadly and said, "This is not Mr.'s usual thought, but!" Alternative! But! It's also very realistic! That's true! ”

"Say!" Lege urged.

"Mr. said: To govern the world, we must understand a truth, that is: don't let the people be too rich. Why? Because they are poor, people will work hard. After satisfying simple wishes, they will feel that you have governed the country well. And also! It is to strictly enforce the law and discipline them to behave in a proper manner. Too free, and they will do whatever they want. The more affluent they are, the more they want and think. If you are too free, rich, and have too many unfulfilled desires, they will complain to you that the country you govern is not good. ”

"This, this, this? What is the rationale for this? Wei'er asked puzzled.

"Hehehe!" Lege laughed but didn't answer.

"The gentleman said, "No matter how much you give to others, they will not necessarily appreciate you, because you have not satisfied others. But! If you give a little food to the hungry and a little help to the poor, they will be grateful to you and praise you for your kindness. ”

"This?" Fang Qin stopped crying and looked at Zeng Shen in disbelief.

"Said the gentleman! If you give light gifts to nobles and rich people, you will only look down on you from other people's families. Isn't kindness a bait? We should implement a strict legal system to restrain the people and gamble the people's opportunities to death. If they want to survive, they have to rely on you. And at this time, if you give them some benefits and give them a way to live, they will praise you instead! ”

"This, this, this? What's going on? Wei'er couldn't stand it anymore.

I thought: Is this the last words of Confucius? This is the mentality of a worldly man!

"Hehehe! Good! Lege laughed.

"The gentleman said: There are several ways to control the common people: the best strategy is to control their minds, and only lock them up as a last resort. Killing the head is the next policy, and the officials force the people to rebel. And then! Then adopt hierarchical management. Let the man control the woman, that is, the husband control the wife. Such! The king will have only half of the people. Then let the father control the children, that is, the parental responsibility system. Such! Then the king has to rule over only a quarter of the earth. The loyalty, righteousness, and filial piety that I have told you before do not contradict these methods adopted by the king. Isn't it? ”

"Say! Keep talking! Lege asked.

The gentleman said, "The so-called rites are the shackles that lock the souls and bodies of the people. It is up to the king to lock or open it. Since ancient times, there has never been a law that can bind a king. And many of those who made rituals and laws were in prison. Imagine? The people who made the laws and rituals are all in prison, not to mention the common people? Although the salute is invisible, it is a sharp weapon, better than thousands of brave soldiers. ”

"Good!" Lege applauded.

"Is this still Confucius?" Wei'er asked.

"Is that wrong?" Lege asked rhetorically.

"Woooooo Fang Qin cried quietly.

"This?" Wei'er couldn't answer.

"In his later years, Confucius's thinking changed greatly, from idealism to realism, and finally saw the world clearly." Lege explained.

The gentleman said, "So the music is actually an article that praises kings and rulers." When public opinion is unified, the people believe it. They believe whatever the king says, and they are grateful to Dade for a good good, like nectar in a long drought. The longing for the king is like longing for nectar in a long drought.

If the people are allowed to say whatever they want, the ugly influence of society will be made public, and the people may rebel. And those who instigate it will benefit from it, and it will cause more chaos in society. So! Don't let your people have a voice, don't let them tell the truth. Such! Those who want to commit rebellion will not be able to do so.

The unwise king only knows how to suppress his people with martial arts, but he does not know that public opinion can also destroy everything. So! Their reign will soon come to an end. So! For those who use speech and public opinion to incite the people, they must be killed and set an example.

Mr. said: He is a man who is about to die, and he will never talk nonsense. If we do what he says, the future will be smooth sailing! Mr. said! You must remember my words, huh? ”
