Chapter 61: The Roots of the Truth (4)
After this stormy remark, most of the ink writers clamored in support of the appropriate opinion.
Sheng Xuan really didn't expect this to happen, he and he had no grievances, I hadn't seen him before, and now I praised him a few words, and finally gave him a good sounding word.
But this person was like a mad dog, he didn't appreciate it at all, and directly scolded him, saying that he was like that kind of scheming and ruthless person.
Every word is heart-wrenching, and every word is difficult to refute.
Sheng Xuan carefully recalled, did he hurt this person's parents? Have you slept with this person's sister? Or did he throw the man's child into the well?
But no, how can I say that I am also from a small aristocratic background, how can I have intersected with this kind of person before? Could it be that this man is really a jealous and unrighteous man?
Sheng Xuan gritted his teeth and asked, "Sui, what grudge do I have with you?" ”
Reflexively asked, "Do the people now have a grudge against Xia Wei Shangxuan?" If there is not, why should they reproach and accuse them and praise the holy king? If there is no grudge, can't we point out what others are doing wrong? ”
When Sheng Xuan heard this, he was furious, and he didn't care about it anymore, and looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Xia Ji Shangxuan? Xia Wei business? ”
"Duanmu Ci once said: If it is not good, it is better to be worse. It is a gentleman who is evil, and all the evils in the world are returned! I couldn't understand this sentence before, but now I finally understand! ”
Zigong's words are to say that the dirty water on the body of the king may not be true. It's just that it lost momentum, the wall fell down, and everyone pushed it, and all kinds of basins were buckled on the body of the king. Therefore, as a human being, you must not lose your power, and once you lose power, you will be charged with all kinds of crimes.
Although the fifteenth ancestor of Confucius is the second brother of the same father and mother of the King of Confucius, this was said by Zigong, and there may be some affection in it, but it is still very reasonable from this sentence alone.
All kinds of things in later generations have also verified this sentence, which is indeed too reasonable.
After laughing and saying these very reasonable words, Sheng Xuan sighed and said: "With the righteousness of the ink people, I am already in the lower class, and I am surrounded by ink people, of course I should bear such a crime, otherwise how can you believe that you are doing something wrong?" ”
"Only if I'm wrong, you can think you're right. Only I'm the bad guy, and you're the good guy who punishes the bad guy! ”
"But in terms of the world, isn't the righteousness of the ink man obscene? Contrary to the principles of the world, thinking that you are not always expensive, cheap or not, and love the world, and the king of the law, this is the obscenity of the world's ideological trend! One day, you ink writers, all the evil in the world will be gone! ”
With these words, which had completely torn his face, he knew that it was impossible for Katsuyu to be in the team of the Ink Masters no longer in any case, and even if he didn't leave, the rest of the Ink Masters would force him to go.
However, what he said is not wrong, these thoughts of the Moshi are indeed not the mainstream of the world's thoughts. Fortunately, once the power is great, then all the evil in the world will be gone.
Sheng Xuan stared at Shi viciously, and said: "You start with this, and you will end with this." This is the beginning of the day! This is the end! ”
"Shoemaker, I still give you this sentence! If you treat me like this today, someone will treat you like this one day! ”
"Yang Yu Kishan shot and died under the arrows of the pawns; The king made a cannon and died in the fire of Lutai; Evil came to fight the tiger empty-handed, and finally died at the hands of the warrior in the tiger's skin! You'll be like me one day! Someday! ”
It's a curse and a proverb.
Proverbs were terrible at this time, especially in the Song Kingdom, which believed in ghosts and gods.
But the object of his speech was Shi, a man who made his fortune by making up prophecies.
Shi has never been interested in this kind of proverb, and has no interest.
I'm a person who makes up prophecies all day long, where would I care?
Even if it is said that although Chu has three households and Qin must be Chu after death, in the eyes of people like to erase the sense of beauty, it is just a proof that the Chu State has not completed the reform of the centralized system until his death, and the division is serious, and the nobles are hidden powerful. Partition is easy to restore the country and weak, centralization is easy to change and strong, that's all.
The reform of centralization has not been completed, and the feudal monarch has a serious division of power, so there is really nothing to praise. He didn't even care if he had verified it like this, so how could he care about Shengyu's proverb?
He is also a person with a bit of bad taste, he picked up a pen and wrote down the words that Sheng Xuan just said, held up the bamboo slip and said with a smile: "Keep this evidence." ”
The inkers were amused by the way he dealt with the light, playful and angry way of scolding.
didn't care that Sheng Xuan was still there, and they joked one after another, shouting that it would be easy to verify that Sheng Xuan would live a few more years.
At this time, I still cared a lot about the words of proverbs, just in the Song Kingdom, in Shangqiu, not long ago, and the kings who went away to Rendi Huimeng because of the words of the stars, and the remnants of Yin Shang who left behind habits such as divination and prophecy.
This kind of performance is really extremely bold in the eyes of these people, and it is really the unfathomable view of the Mo.
Mozi also smiled and shook his head, and he didn't care about the sentence that Jun must end with this, but he just thought that it was interesting to keep this sentence.
He didn't look at Shengqiu anymore, but said to Shi: "I said, you remember." ”
The inkers restrained their laughter, knowing that Zimozi wanted to preach righteousness, and they held their breath. Some of the people in the back also leaned forward so as not to hear clearly.
Shi picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, selected a few clean bamboo slips, and waited for Mozi to speak.
Mozi did not talk about righteousness, but talked about suitability.
"Shi is a newly formed ink man, fifteen or sixteen years old. In order to prosper the world and eliminate the disadvantages of the world, no one sent, but they understood the righteousness, so they did not hesitate to seek the ink man. I listened to my lectures under the tree in the spring of the year, and then went to the village community to do righteousness. ”
"What is a person who is not yet a writer who is willing to suffer from the sun and the wind to the harvest for the benefit of the world? This is love for the world, and this is doing righteousness without regrets. Every ink practitioner must learn and take this as the way. ”
"Suitable and loving the world and doing righteousness without regrets, in what he does in the village community, in what he does in righteousness and not in a hundred gold as treasures. This is a real inkman. ”
On the other hand, some people, more than ten years before he became a Mo scholar, prefer Yulu to righteousness, and forget righteousness for the sake of Yulu. At present, plan for yourself first and think about what kind of benefits you can get. With a little ability, I felt that the world was so big that I couldn't go anywhere, and I forgot the purpose of studying at the beginning. This kind of person is an ink person, but the heart is not actually an ink person, at least it cannot be regarded as a real ink person. ”
"When it comes to suitability, there is no one in the village community who does not admire it, and there is no one who does not know the righteousness of heaven because of him. Those who had just met the appropriate ink also praised him for not taking a hundred gold. ”
"The bloodline is not noble, but he is only a shoemaker, but he can accumulate a hundred gold in a few months, and he can understand the heavenly will that the princes and nobles cannot understand, understand the truth of righteousness in the world, and teach the ability of crops. This is also an excellent lesson for some people who are lowly and noble, who are vulgar and incomprehensible, who are difficult to have a temperament in business and commerce, and who have a destiny in life and death. ”
"Shi and I only met a few times half a year ago, and at that time we only praised him for his jade carving, so I went to Qi and didn't care at all. And he carved himself himself, and he was not an ink master at the time, but he did many things that ink masters could not do. I even forgot that there was such a person in Qi Kingdom, and when I came back, I was a little surprised to hear about it. ”
"A person's ability is big or small, how much talent is there, and there is a depth of understanding. But people make the best use of it, and every ink artist is a person like him, a person who loves both, a person who is not fatal, a person who does righteousness, a person who promotes the good and eliminates the disadvantages and benefits the world, and a real ink person. ”
Some of the words are not the original words, but they are recorded according to their own meaning, written in familiar words, and the overall meaning has not been modified.
At this time, among the previous sons, Confucius was arrogant and funny, often joking with his disciples, playing a little temper when he couldn't speak, and sometimes saying some aggrieved and arrogant things like a child; Mozi speaks sharply, rarely jokes with his disciples, and rarely hides his words, often stinging people's hearts, but when he encounters something truly praiseworthy, he often overpraises.
The words of praising Shi have no direct relationship with Shi itself.
He was using the contrast between suitability and victory to educate his disciples.
Walked a victory, came a suitable.
One is a formal ink artist for more than ten years, and the other is a lonely person who claims to be an ink artist for half a year.
One forgets the righteousness for the sake of the righteousness, and the other doesn't care about the hundred gold at all for the sake of the righteousness.
One is also a low-ranking nobleman, and the other is a shoemaker from the third-to-last pariah.
The contrast between bloodline and behavior, which can be almost completely reversed, is also one of the best examples for educating disciples.
Shi is not dead, saying these words at this time actually requires a lot of courage, and it also gives Shi more pressure.
But Mozi decided to say anyway.
The disciples he valued cultivated the pillars, and he needed to use scolding to spur them on to keep working hard.
Mozi believes that such a person needs praise to keep working hard.
They are all whips, but one is a scolding and the other is a compliment.
The form is different, but the essence is the same.
He knows that people can change, and the right thing at this time may not be suitable in the future, but the right thing at this time is indeed worth comparing with Shengqiu.
The few people who were praised the most by Mozi, except for the bird slippery, basically died early.
Gongshang, who was praised by Mozi for knowing the origin of things and not needing to read anymore, died of malaria epidemic in Wuyue.
Gao Shizi, who had been the secretary of the country, gave up Yulu and left the country because of the righteousness of the emperor who did not practice Mozi, traveled south with Mozi, and died of illness in Chu Zhilu Pass.
Wei Jun, who said with a pair of tongues, thought that Gao Shizi was a talented person and hired Guan Qianyu, who could once argue with the fifty-four debates all day long, died in a civil strife before the Qi State.
If Gao Shizi was still alive at this time, Mozi would definitely praise Gao Shizi. Of course, if Gao Shizi was alive, Shengqiu would not be able to come out.
Fortunately, the appearance of the right place gave Mozi a more vivid example, which was just right to compare and match.
The disciples carefully pondered Mozi's words, and they didn't care about Shengqiu who was still on the side, nor did they care about the sarcastic Shengqiu in Mozi's words.
For Mozi, Shengqiu is no longer an inker, but his actions are enough for the inkman to take as a warning.
Therefore, before he expelled Shengqiu from the team of ink makers, he had to punish him in this ironic and contrasting way, not for one victory, but for the more than 300 ink people present who would no longer have victory.
Punishment is not for the sake of punishment, but for the sake of no longer punishing.
The punishment itself is not directed at those who have made mistakes, but against those who have not yet done so. Therefore, the punishment of the wrongdoer depends on how not to punish others in the future, rather than treating the wrongdoer to the extreme.
Why should we recover those who have already been lost?
Those who have not yet been lost should hope not to follow the path of those who have been lost.
