Chapter 21: Deceiving the True Gentleman (1)

Listening to Shi's questioning, Gongsun Ze broke out in a cold sweat.

In an instant, he had gone through everything he had learned in his mind, and he wanted to bypass the reasoning method of Mohist dialectics to fight back against this sentence, but he couldn't think of how to fight back.

Benevolence is the foundation of the way of governing the country that Gongsun Ze believes, which is the most important truth under the induction of heaven and man.

The so-called people move the sky with their actions, and the heavens also respond to people with their actions. Only benevolence can move the heavens, and the heavens will also react to this, and the four seas will be peaceful.

Therefore, in the second year of the implementation of the initial tax in Lu State, there was a great drought in Lu State, locusts were raging, and countless people died of starvation. A true gentleman should regard this as a happy event and a good thing.

Because of unkindness, there is a plague of locusts. If Lu Xuangong can wake up after this natural disaster and restore the law of Jingtian, the credit of this locust plague is greater than that of no disaster. Therefore, a gentleman should be deeply happy and lucky.

Ren can explain all the history, from the destruction of the summer by Shang Tang to the defeat of King Wu, from the great drought and locust plague to the wind, dust, rain and snow.

What exactly is Danren? Gongsun Ze is difficult to answer, but the sentence that is suitable for asking is that after the former disciple defected, he was still bloody and drifting, is it benevolent? If not, then King Wu's victory in the world cannot be explained by benevolence, and the entire system of heaven and man induction will completely collapse.

Shi quietly looked at Gongsun Ze's face on the side, knowing that the matter of Wu Wangren's benevolence could not be denied at this time, and disputes over faith issues were too easy to kill.

Although they only met once, since they were able to come here to question themselves and dress so politely, it was obvious that this Gongsun Ze was a gentleman.

is a gentleman, and most of the heart that is suitable for hanging will be put down.

A gentleman can be deceived in a way. He is not afraid of reasonable gentlemen, but of unreasonable villains.

As long as the other party is a gentleman who abides by etiquette, then if he is not in his position and does not seek his own government, he cannot be convicted and killed if he is not a great priest. And the real Great Priest will never dare to do it to himself until he has figured out that he is not a real ink master.

A real gentleman can't be the chief secretary of the Song State, the more powerful and heavy, the more afraid of death and the more unwilling to make enemies, especially the internal power struggle in the Song State is extremely ferocious, and the Mo is famous, which is something he can rely on.

The previous question of King Wu's inhumanity had completely angered Gongsun Ze, but Shi also knew that this anger was also profitable.

When Gongsun Ze's face had changed from angry red to angry purple, he finally reprimanded: "The villain is quibbling! Zi said, it is the old evil husband! For a villain like you, who can only quibble, there is no need to argue with you at all! ”

Shi was laughed angrily at the other party, and spread his hands and said: "Zhongni also said that it is okay to say but not to speak, and to lose people." The wise man does not lose people. Is a gentleman unwise? In fact, I think that King Wu is benevolent, and the bleeding pestle is not wrong, but the person who interprets the book is wrong, so that King Wu bears the name of inhumanity. ”

If it is suitable, it is like a glow in the east in the dark night sky, and it is like the lightning that crosses the dark clouds in time and space, which makes Gongsun Ze see hope in an instant.

Shi seduced and said: "Since you are a gentleman, when someone asks about the Martial King and the drifting pestle, how should you answer?" Jonny said, keen and studious, not ashamed to ask. Zhong Ni also asked Yu Tanzi, Chang Hong, Shi Xiang, and Lao Dan, and said that there must be my teacher in the threesome. ”

After saying this, Shi smiled and looked at Gongsun Ze and said, "If you ask me as a courtesy for learning, I can answer and let you know what this sentence originally meant." If someone asks you about it in the future, you can also answer what happened to Izuren and Drifting Pestle. Anyway, I've already asked this question to many people, even if I die accidentally, Yang Zhu, Li Kui, and Wu Qi will ask you this question......"

Every time he said a name, Gongsun Ze chuckled in his heart, and muttered a curse in his mouth: beasts, heretics......

The heretical word originated from Jonny. Attacking heresy is also harmful. Yang Zhu Mozhai is a beast, a pig and a dog, and Li Kui and Wu Qi are heretics, not the same.

But although he scolded, he knew that once these fallacies reached the ears of these people, it would be even more difficult to refute them in the future.

In his eyes, he is just a villain and a common man, and he can't afford to be the teacher in this threesome, but if he doesn't ask clearly, he will be unwilling after all, and he is worried that someone will take advantage of this to make trouble.

What is appropriate is that a gentleman can deceive him with reason.

deceived him to ask himself questions, he can be regarded as a teacher of one word, settle down on this, as long as the other party is a gentleman, it is impossible for this person to kill himself with his own hands in this life.

Now the only one who wants to kill himself is a true gentleman; It's not a gentleman's, even if he hates these things, he won't dare to kill them because of the forged ink name.

A gentleman spares his life, and a villain spares his life.

Now is the most dangerous time, as long as he deceives this period of time, when Mozi comes back from the Qi Kingdom, he will not bother to talk nonsense with this kind of person at all.

At this time, most of the people in the village community had already gathered around, either to see the excitement, or to see if Shi really knew the truth and could convince this son.

Although there has been a lot of propaganda to break the hierarchy these days, the hierarchy is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The common people of these villages still have a trace of indescribable feelings for the son who wears a straight shirt and wears jade: it seems that it is not a skill to reason with the common people, but it is a real skill to be able to reason with the son. Although the identity of the son is hereditary and has nothing to do with his own knowledge, under hundreds of years of indoctrination, learning and morality have been bound to blood and blurred, which is not a problem that can be solved in a few months.

When everyone in the village community heard that they wanted to let this son want him to ask for advice, and they wanted to ask him for advice with a teacher's courtesy, they were all frightened, and they said in their hearts, how could this be possible?

Some of the closest ones who were close to him on weekdays quietly went over and pulled Shi, meaning to let him take a step back.

But he didn't want to stand on the side of the reed, but he saw that there were stars in his eyes, and he felt that he was the same as the vague one in his dream, and stretched out his hand to open the villager who was trying to pull the suite.

Gongsun Ze stared at Shi viciously, looking at so many villagers around him, knowing that Shi was forcing him, but he was helpless.

He didn't agree with most of the things that he was supposed to talk about, but he felt that if he was a true gentleman, he should ask if he encountered something that could be used for reference.

Even if he asked for advice, it was only to ask the Martial King and the drifting pestle, not to say that he was truly convinced of the rest of his doctrines.

However, he also knew that the common people were ignorant.

These commoners don't think so, the person in front of him is a shameless villain, and when the time comes, when he talks to this commoner, his question is equivalent to agreeing with all his statements...... The common people are stupid, of course they don't think so much.

Seeing that he was still hesitating there, he continued to take the fierce medicine and shouted: "You don't understand the meaning of the drifting pestle, and the name of the king of martial arts is unkind; It is unwise not to ask this question knowing that it can be answered. It is rude not to try to figure it out knowing that the Holy King may be misunderstood because of this in the future. It is not brave to know that you are wrong but not to be ashamed. Unkind, unwise, rude, and unbrave, what face do you have to be called a gentleman? ”

The spit splashed and splashed straight on Gongsun Ze's face, Gongsun Ze's face turned red, and the things he learned in his heart were crowded together, and he had no idea.

After a long time, he finally took a step back, saluted with anger on his face, and whispered with hatred: "Please!" ”

This salute, this inquiry, immediately attracted countless exclamations from the surroundings.

These villagers didn't expect that a real son would also come to ask Shilai, who was wearing sackcloth and working with them, for advice...... This is simply a rare thing in ancient times, and all of them have mouths like eating the red and hot vegetables in "Pseudo-July", and they can't be closed.

Since the son came to ask for advice, then the things that are suitable for saying are obviously true, otherwise how could the son come to ask for advice?

Gongsun Ze is yellow mud at this time, and he can't tell why. What he asked for advice was fundamentally the problems in Confucianism, not the things of the Mohists.

Although the Mo family also talks about wisdom and bravery, shame and almost courage are obviously the definitions in the set he learned. The same word has different meanings in different schools, and sometimes it is the same chicken and duck, which is to refute the original definition.

But the question at hand was discussed in the context of the values he had learned, forcing him to ask, and asking this question was not to lead him to heresy, but to uphold the right path.

It's like a book and a hooligan quarreling, the two must have different ways, but the terrible thing is that this hooligan doesn't do it but does it, which is helpless.

Seeing that he had already saluted, he said that you have no chance to kill me in this life, so he pretended to be like the tune of the master's poem Zixia, and nodded in an old-fashioned manner: "After knowing shame, be brave and ask without shame, you can pass on the meaning of the pestle!" ”

Gongsun Ze gritted his teeth angrily, and touched the cowhide of Peiyu several times, which suppressed the anger.

Shi shook his head and said, "Since you asked, I will answer you, and if someone asks you this again in the future, you can maintain what you think is the right path." ”

Gongsun Ze's originally angry mood was suppressed by that sentence of maintaining the right path, and he asked for advice again.

"Well, I'll tell you."

"In the past, the king of martial arts was in the quail fire, the moon was in the sky, the sun was in the wood of the sun, the chen was in the bucket handle, and the stars were in the sky. The stars and the sun are all in the North Dimension...... The king took the night of February, and the rain was not finished. ”

"The rain is pouring down, fighting in Muye, so there is the last sentence in "Da Ming", ravaging the big business, will be Qingming. It is said that after the First World War of Makino, the sky and the earth were clear. ”

"I also know that Taigongwang knows the art of war, although the king of martial arts will ally eight hundred princes, but he will treat tens of thousands of soldiers with armor, and the king of martial arts has few soldiers. The soldiers of the ether will be arrayed in the river. Arrange a formation near the river, with the river as the flank, and the few soldiers will use this formation. ”

"From this, King Wu set up a formation near the river, the king of Su raised troops, Taigong Wang personally drove a cart to impact, and the soldiers defected, and the armor of the king of Zhou slaughtered the pawns who defected, blood and water mixed with rain, and went down the river, which is the saying of bleeding and drifting."

is a very simple inference, although there are many loopholes, it is enough to solve Gongsun Ze's doubts.

Gongsun Ze said secretly: "If he says this, it can not only solve the blood flow and pestle, but also prove that Shang's father knows the soldiers, the king of Zhou is cruel, and the king of martial arts is benevolent...... In this way, all doubts are solved. It's not that the blood flow pestle is wrong, but that the person who interprets the book is wrong......"

This is an excellent result, and it is perfectly accepted to explain this phrase, which is bound to lead to a lot of controversy.

He is also a person who has been on the battlefield, listening to what he said, with the article "Da Ming" in the Book of Poetry, the scene of Muye seems to have appeared in his mind for more than 600 years.

At that time, the five stars gathered in the west, but there was heavy rain in the sky within a few days, and everyone thought that the destiny of heaven was not in Zhou, but the martial king was sage. Shang's father was in charge of the soldiers, and the formation was arranged along the river to protect its flanks, Shang's father personally drove the impact with his seventy body, and the apprentices turned against the king with the king of Wu, and did not want the armor of the king to stab the soldiers who fell with the spear, and the blood flowed into the Qing River, and the soldiers rushed to flee for their lives, jumping into the Qing River that had been stained red with blood, and the shield floated, and the king of Wu couldn't bear it......

The more I thought about it, the more I was fascinated, and I couldn't help but praise it, and at this moment, all the previous anger disappeared.

Just as he was about to thank the businessman in front of him for this sentence, the next sentence made him almost spurt out a mouthful of blood.

"This is the reasoning technique of my Mo family to hear and know, if there is no art of my Mo family, the martial king will be unkind!"
