Chapter 827: Why did Fang Zhong oppose the fall of Sandu
Zeng Shen's first conversation with Fang Zhong was the same as the first conversation with Lege, which was not very pleasant. But! It's slightly better than the first conversation with Lege. Fang Zhong was blunt, but he didn't scold or play with him.
When I talked to Lege for the first time, Lege was with the elements of playing with him and bullying him.
In a word! The conversation with Fang Zhong was still harmonious.
Zeng Shen, who came back, gave a general description of the content of his conversation with Fang Zhong.
Confucius listened attentively and nodded. After a long time, he asked: "He admits that he is behind the scenes, and opposes my fall to Sandu?" ”
"Hmmm! Yes! Mr! He confessed. Zeng Shen hurriedly replied.
It's been so many years, more than ten years, and there's nothing to taboo. Fang Zhong is not taboo, what are you taboo?
So! Zeng Shen did not hide it.
"Hmm!" Confucius snorted, didn't say anything more, and bowed his head in contemplation.
Zeng Shen looked at Confucius, thinking that Mr. was thinking about how to speak, how to say about the past incident of falling into Sandu? Outcome! Confucius was found to be silent.
Only then couldn't help but ask, "First?" Mr? ”
Confucius paused for a moment, then raised his head and looked at him, waiting for the following.
"Sir?" Seeing that Mr. didn't say anything, Zeng Shen asked, "Fang Zhong was him back then?" Why do you want to oppose the fall of Sandu? What about going against the gentleman? ”
Finished! Zeng Shen looked at Confucius, waiting for an answer.
Confucius lowered his head unhappily, not wanting to answer. But he found that Zeng Shen was still panting and waiting for him to answer, so he raised his head and looked at him.
"Sir?"
"I remember I told you?" Confucius said reluctantly.
"Spoke?" Zeng Shen said: "Sir, you just told me that you debated and discussed with Fang Zhong. It's about the Tao, and it doesn't say anything about the fall of the three capitals? ”
Confucius glared at Zeng Shen and said angrily: "It's that we didn't specifically talk about the fall of the three capitals, we are mainly talking about the Tao." But the purpose of the Tao is: Do you want to fall into the three capitals? The pros and cons of falling Sandu! Advantageous! Fall! Unfavourable! Don't fall! Do you want to be specific about how to fall into Sandu? ”
"This?" Zeng Shen lowered his head in shame, feeling that his questioning was superfluous. If you don't ask so? People don't know you're stupid yet.
Confucius was reluctant to repeat the previous debate with Fang Zhong, so Zeng Shen was not good at asking questions. But! In his heart, he was curious: why did Fang Zhong oppose the fall of Sandu?
Confucius told him about discussing the Tao with Fang Zhong before, but what he said was all theoretical, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with the fall? So! He was still curious: he wanted to know why.
Theory is theory, how can theory be applied to real life?
Other words! Only by giving examples can it be easier for people to understand.
With his current understanding of Taoism, he still can't use it freely, and he can't fully and correctly understand why Fang Zhong opposed Confucius's fall into the three capitals?
After a while, Zeng Shen found another opportunity to meet Fang Zhong.
This time! Just like the second time he saw Lege, Fang Zhong was much more polite to him.
For the first time! Because Fang Zhong left later, he left him alone. Boring him! After sitting for a while, I found a reason to leave.
"I'm sorry! Zengzi! Hehehe! Excuse me! Last time there was something in the Lu Palace, I left in a hurry! I'm sorry! ”
"It's okay! It's okay! It's me who bothered Mr. Fang! ”
After Fang Zhong gave Zeng Shen to the seat of the guest secretary, he ordered the subordinates in the house: "Go!" Let the kitchen prepare the food and drinks, and I will drink with Zengzi. ”
"You're welcome! You're welcome! I'll sit for a while and leave! I'm here to ask! Mr. Fang! Zeng Shen hurriedly declared.
"Oh! Say! We talk about things while we drink! ”
The current Fang Zhong is a well-known local figure in Lu State. Although he is no longer the governor of Qufu City, he has long since lost a specific official position. But! He can ask about anything. Lu Gong and Sanhuan's people respected him and consulted him about everything. Outcome! He has no official position, but he is busier than those who have an official position.
"I just want to ask? Why did you strongly object to Mr. Sandu's fall in the first place? I asked him, but he didn't want to elaborate. Zeng Shen asked directly.
Having dealt with Taoists a lot, he already knows the temper of Taoists. If you beat around the bush, people won't bother to pay attention to you.
"Didn't your husband say anything to you?"
"I didn't elaborate! Just talk! The two of you argued, and he lost the debate! Let's talk about reasoning! ”
"Oh!" Fang Zhong nodded, looked at Zeng Shen and said, "Maybe you don't understand it!" Oh, yes! You don't understand! You're so deeply influenced by him that you can't turn around for a while! Alas! ”
"Mr. Fang? I? Zeng Shen said, bowing his head in shame to show that he accepted.
"Then I'll just say it! Illustrate with examples! Such! You'll get the idea! To be reasonable, you may not understand! ”
"Thank you!"
"Why am I against Confucius's fall into the three capitals? It's because! The three capitals have fallen, and the walls of the cities of Lu have been shortened, and the safety of the cities of Lu will not be guaranteed. The city wall is higher than the regulations of the Zhou system, but this regulation is the previous regulation, so! This provision is outdated.
So! From the point of view of national defense and security, we cannot afford to fall. If we fall and the army of Qi attacks, we will not be able to protect the safety of our subordinates and the safety of the nobles of Lu.
Second! The rebellion of the retainers was caused by the mistake of the master's management and improper use of people. And isn't it ridiculous to blame the city walls for the failure to quell the rebellion? Isn't it?
Third! The real purpose of Confucius's fall into the three capitals was not to violate the Zhou rites and the Zhou system, not because the city walls were higher than the regulations, but! I want to weaken the power of the Sanhuan nobles. After falling the wall of Sanhuan, the king of Lu can easily attack the city of Sanhuan. Such! It facilitated the king's management and his Confucius's management.
Fourth! One of the main reasons why I oppose Confucius's fall into the three capitals is that I don't want Confucius to weaken our Sanhuan aristocracy. Not just Sanhuan, but all the nobles of the Lu country. If Confucius succeeds, then! In the future, the nobles of Lu will no longer have a good life. We all have to live according to the ideas of Confucius, and we nobles will lose their superior life.
Why did he fall into Sandu? To weaken the power and power of our aristocracy, so that we can live the life of his ideals? Living a hard life? Isn't it?
Fifth! If Confucius succeeded, he would become the new nobleman. His life may be above us old aristocrats. So! Am I stupid? Did I let him get his way? Isn't it? ”
"But?" Zeng Shen interrupted: "Only by following Mr.'s approach can the world be in harmony and end the struggle for hegemony among the princes?" Ending this troubled world? ”
Fang Zhong said angrily: "Then he will try to change countries and see if he can achieve the unity of the world?" He has traveled all the nations for so many years, does anyone believe him? ”
"This?" I couldn't answer.
