Chapter 974 Zeng participated in the "Constitutional Question"

'Uncle Le!' 'That's probably it! You see? Can it be finalized? Zeng Shen asked.

"Hmmm! You can do it! Le Ge replied.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Then I'll go back and revise it, and that's it! Thank you Uncle Le! Seeing that Lege agreed, Zeng Shen was very happy.

Read on! Hurry! Lege urged.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen picked up the bamboo slip, looked at it, and then put it down.

This time! He didn't hand it to Uncle Le!

If he doesn't look at it when he hands it to him, what else will he give?

"Let's talk about it! Next articleWhat's the name? What's the content? Lege asked.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said: "This article, according to Uncle Le's meaning, should be called 'Constitutional Question'." ”

"Constitutional Question? What do you mean? ”

"Ken is a student's name! The surname was originally Xian, a student of Mr. ”

"Oh?" Le Ge responded: "So? What does the Constitution say? ”

"Back to Uncle Le's words!" The "Constitutional Question" is about virtue and self-cultivation. The previous content was about benevolent government and rule by virtue! Right now! Focus on personal cultivation! ”

"Oh? Good! Le Ge replied: "That! Let's get started! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Shame on the constitution. Zi said: "There is a way in the state, and there is a valley; Bang Wudao, Valley, shame also. "Restraint, felling, resentment, and desire can be benevolent?" Zi said: "You can be embarrassed, but I don't know if you are benevolent." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Yuan Xian asked Mr. What is shameful. Mr. said: The same person has a way in the country, and he is an official and earns money. There is no way in the country, and it is shameful to be an official and take a fortune. Yuan Xian asked again: People who are competitive, boastful, resentful, and greedy can be regarded as benevolent, right? The gentleman said, "This can be said to be very rare, but as for whether it is benevolent or not, then I don't know." Benevolence is not something that can be seen on the surface! ”

"Hehehe!" Le Ge smiled: "Your husband seems to be one-sided and biased when he says this!" ”

"Where?" Zeng Shen argued.

"Why not?" Le Ge explained: "On the surface, what your husband said seems to make sense. But! If you subdivide it, there will be contradictions, and you can see the one-sidedness. ”

"Uncle Le! Please! Zeng Shen stretched out his hand and gestured, asking Uncle Lebo to say it specifically.

Seeing Zeng Shen's point-to-point appearance, Le Ge sneered and explained: "When the country is operating normally, it is reasonable and legal to take Yulu, isn't it?" Does that mean mixed rice? Isn't it? If the country is not functioning normally and is in chaos, it cannot be taken lightly. So? Don't you want officials to run the country in troubled times? ”

Zeng Shen argued: "My husband thinks: to be an official is to do your duty. ”

"Does this have anything to do with troubled times and prosperous times? Whether it is a troubled era or a prosperous era, as long as the country exists, it needs officials to manage it. Isn't it? And the key is: have you, as an official, done practical things for the people? That's what it means. Isn't it? ”

"This?"

"That is to say! In troubled times, although I, as an official, were not able to manage the country well, I did my best. Isn't it? So! I can also take it, huh? And what does your husband mean: Officials in troubled times can't take money? If you take it, you should feel ashamed. ”

"This?"

"Think about it? Is your husband's words one-sided? Isn't it? It's just about the superficial phenomenon, not to the point! Isn't it? ”

"This?" I couldn't answer.

"As long as you do your best, there is no shame in troubled times. But! No matter if you are in a prosperous or troubled world, it is shameful for you to take money without doing anything! ”

"What my husband means: As an official, if you don't govern the country well, and you take money as usual, you should be ashamed and ashamed. That's what it means! Zeng Shen argued.

"Is it still a one-sided understanding? Isn't it? The chaos of a country and the chaos of an era cannot be controlled by one or two people. So! Isn't it too much to ask of yourself and blame yourself for being a savior? Isn't it? Can you influence the direction of an era? Can you change the course of history? Isn't it? ”

"I can't! But! My husband said! If we are all like this, all officials are like this, then! The times can change, and we can develop in the direction we set! ......" Zeng Shen argued.

Le Ge smiled: "You are idealistic again!" You suppose, suppose, if this is the case, that's it! Isn't it? You can only guarantee yourself, you can't ask for or expect others to be like you. So! It is impossible for all officials to be like you, they are all ordinary people. Or rather! It is a person who eats and grows together. You make them saints, is it possible? ”

"What if! ……”

"Don't follow me!" Lege shouted.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen replied in a low voice. And then! "Is there a problem with the latter words?" ”

"Back? Later words? Oh? Le Ge remembered and responded: "Your husband has no problem in moral cultivation!" He's a connoisseur! ”

"Thank you, Uncle Le!"

"Read on!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Confucius believed that those who are officials should do their best to serve the country, and those who take money are shameless regardless of whether the country has a way or not.

Confucius believed that people who do not have "competitiveness, boasting, resentment, and greed" are commendable, but it is not known whether they are compatible with "benevolence". Benevolence is embodied in all aspects, and the most important thing is whether there is something in the heart, which must be combined with the inside and outside. It's not something you can see on the surface!

Zi said: "It is not enough to be a soldier and live in the middle of a home." ”

"What do you mean? Interpret it? Lege asked habitually.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: If a taxi is nostalgic for the comfortable life of his family, he is not a qualified taxi. ”

"That? What should it be? Lege asked.

"Good men should be ambitious! Take the world as your own responsibility! ”

"Hehehe!" Le Ge smiled: "You can't ask everyone in the world to be the same, some people can't do it!" This can only be asked of those who are aspiring to 'take the world as their own responsibility'. For farmers who farm the land, you can only ask them to plant the land well and produce more food! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

"Read on!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zi said: "There is a way in the state, and dangerous words and deeds; There is no way to do it, and it is dangerous to say goodbye. ”

"What do you mean?"

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: The country has a way, and it is necessary to be honest in words and deeds; The country has no way, and it is necessary to maintain integrity, but to speak easily and cautiously. ”

"Hmm!" Le Ge responded: "Didn't I say it? Your husband is worth learning from in terms of moral cultivation and self-cultivation! ”

"Yes! Thank you Uncle Le! ”
