Chapter 162: Qin Xiaogong Listens to the Word (2)
"I'm hungry! I want to eat! "Suddenly! Zhuangzi smiled at Wei Ying like a child.
Wei Ying saw that Zhuangzi was interesting, he was not pretentious at all, he had nothing to say, and he pretended to be a child and took the initiative to eat. This kind of person was rare in the Warring States Period, when Zhou rites still had a certain role.
During the Warring States Period, officialdom and the market were very popular on the surface of etiquette and other superficial articles. Like modern people, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that it is just for show. Behind the civility and politeness, I don't know what to think in my heart, maybe? Still swearing. Just like the welcome at the door of the hotel, on the surface politely, I don't know who you are the next time we meet.
Wei Ying smiled, amused by Zhuangzi's frankness, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare the meal. Not to mention, his stomach was hungry too. Before you know it, it's almost noon.
Qin Xiaogong was sitting at the door, and he also signaled his subordinates to prepare, and his stomach was also hungry.
Zhuangzi took this opportunity to go to the bathroom on the inner side and took a soak of urine. When it was cool, I sat back down and started to water!
"Where did you just go?" Zhuangzi touched his face, not knowing what he had just said.
"I just talked about how to manage society, next! It should be said how can our Qin State really become strong and how to dominate the world! Wei Ying prompted.
"You, you, you?" Zhuangzi was shocked and asked, "How do you know that I am going to say this?" Eminence? It seems like? Far from it, right? It seems to go against our Taoist thinking, right? "The chapter of ζ½Άγθ¨γζ Ό intoxication has been uploaded
Wei Ying smiled again and said, "I'm already a complete Taoist disciple!" I am an orthodox Taoist, not a branch of Taoism! I know! Taoist escapism is only temporary! Just to save your own life!
But! For those who are willing to pursue their own nature! They are willing to do it! Man! To be alive is the goal, to be the task! The Tao has given us a chance to be human beings, and I am willing to do what I want to do for the ideals in my heart. I don't want to live to the end of my life, I'm willing to sacrifice myself for my ideals!
So! I want to rule the world, and I want the people of the world to live a good life! That's it! I am an orthodox Taoist! In order to live, to live better, I am willing to give my life, just like the protector, I am willing to give my life. Just like Yang Zhu's predecessors, he is willing to risk his life to preach! β
"Yes! Correct solution! β
Zhuangzi listened and clapped his hands excitedly!
Orthodox Taoism is about people to cherish life and live to old age! It's really not easy for people to be "born to be human". For everyone, there is only one life. But! The meaning of life is not just to live for the sake of living.
Simply understood to live for the sake of living, then! This person's life is really not interesting.
Life is not only about living from infancy to childhood, adolescence, youth, prime of life, old age, marriage, childbirth, supporting parents and elders, and raising children and offspring, but also another content of life, that is, the pursuit of self-nature and happiness.
Self-nature is to pursue the career you like and get satisfaction from it.
Simple happiness is also a kind of life, and it can be obtained by anyone. From the opposite sex, it can also be obtained through one's own behavior. And there is also a simple happiness, which is to pursue and engage in the career you love.
If you like music, you can pursue it, if you like food, you can pursue it, and if you like it, you can pursue it. But! The premise must be that you can't influence other people's lives, and you can't be used by others to pursue your own career.
The protectors of Taoism are willing to sacrifice their lives for the spread of Taoism. Yang Zhu was willing to dedicate his life to preaching Taoism. People are voluntary! No one forced them.
They are Taoists, why don't they value their lives?
Because! They found! Only by spreading the Tao can they survive well! Taoism cannot spread, and no one can live well. Since I can't live well, I'm willing to dedicate my life, if I succeed, not only can I survive well, but everyone can survive well, so why not?
So! There is a Taoist protector! So! There is Yang Zhu! So! There are so many great people and unsung heroes in history who have dedicated their lives for the sake of the people.
They are voluntary, they see the existential crisis, and they don't want the crisis to appear at any time and endanger themselves and take the initiative to prevent it from happening. They are not chasing fame and fortune, but! They are able to get satisfaction from pursuing their careers!
Taoism's "sacrificing one's life for righteousness" is different from other schools of thought, Taoism talks about voluntariness, self-realization, and the satisfaction of one's own nature. The other schools of thought are for "leaving a name in history".
"From a Taoist point of view, if I am a prince-king, or if I am an important official under the prince-king? ......" Zhuangzi began to speak.
Wei Ying interrupted: "You don't want ifs! You speak directly! What should we do in the future? From the perspective of Qin Gong! Don't if! β
"That? That's all I said! I'm just standing in my point of view, if I were Qin Gong, what would I do! β
"Hmm!" Wei Yan nodded and hummed.
Qin Xiaogong, who was sitting at the door, pricked up his ears and waited for Zhuangzi to continue.
It was at this time that the attendant brought food and drinks.
"I'm hungry! I'll eat first! Let's talk about it when you're full! No hurry! No hurry! Zhuangzi said, and without any politeness, he ate and drank alone.
Wei Yan shook his head, but he couldn't hold back his hunger and ate it.
The attendants who stood on the side wanted to tell their Da Liangzao that the Duke of Qin was eavesdropping outside the door. But Duke Qin greeted them and didn't let them report, so he had to stand aside and be anxious.
Qin Xiaogong sat there and waited for a while, and when he heard the sound of Zhuangzi gobbling up from inside, he had to pick up the bowl with chopsticks and eat it in small bites, listening to the movement inside while eating!
After eating his stomach, Zhuangzi touched his mouth and looked at Wei Ying.
Seeing that Zhuangzi was full, Wei Ying quickly put down his chopsticks and stopped eating, and motioned to the attendants to remove all the utensils.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaogong also put down his chopsticks and stopped eating, and he pricked up his ears again.
"Actually! You ask me if you're testing me! Actually, you already know! Isn't it? My big good? Zhuangzi blinked at Wei Ying and smiled.
"Where? Where? Wei Ying said modestly: "My life! They are all studying the law, thinking about all kinds of laws! How to make the law better! There is no research on fighting with soldiers and dominating the world! You said! You said! You are sir! You are the inheritor of Yang Zhu's predecessors, and Yang Zhu's predecessors have studied this aspect, you say! You said! β
"Hmm!" Zhuangzi snorted at this time, and he was very satisfied. It was meant to be! He, a man who is only twenty years old, how can he understand so much? Didn't you listen to Master Yang Zhu?
"My master said! Use troops in troubled times! But! How to use soldiers? My master didn't elaborate! But? I listened to Master! Where did you come from? Rebellion? Isn't it? So! Who will use the troops? Of course, wise princes and kings! β¦β¦β
