Chapter 950: Using the sacrificial ox as a metaphor

"What kind of words did you say to the King of Chu?" Seeing Zhuangzi sighing, Mai'er asked. Eight? One? Middle? Wenwang ā‰¤ā‰ˆ=.≄8=1ā‰ˆZā‰¤ā‰ˆ.=COM

"I'll let the King of Chu kill people!" Zhuangzi said quietly.

"Murder?" The seller was shocked: "His father! How can you let someone else kill someone? Doesn't Taoism say that you can't infringe on others? Our lives don't affect the lives and survival of others, and we don't let the lifestyles of others affect our survival? What the hell are you? How can you teach someone to kill? ā€

Zhuangzi shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "I taught the King of Chu the way to dominate the world!" Otherwise? How can I be embarrassed to accept someone's dowry? People don't get any benefits, and they will give you the money so easily? I will only do everything I can to get the money back. Even! It's possible to grab it in disguise! What do you think? ā€

"But you?" Selling Er said kindly: "You can't teach him to kill?" To dominate the world, you will inevitably kill! ā€

"This is the inevitability of history! Can't avoid it! ā€

Zhuangzi said what Wei Ying said to him back then.

When she heard this, her eyes were in tears.

Crying: "Why do you have to go to war to solve the problem? Don't? You can't solve the problem without war? Didn't you say? Changing a person's mindset can change the world? Dad! The war is so cruel! Woowoo woo ......"

"The possibility of Chu unifying the world is very small, and besides! Judging from the current situation, the unification of the world cannot be accomplished in one or two years or one generation of kings. Without the efforts of several generations, without absolutely strong strength, and without the change of the ideological concepts of the majority of the people, it will not be possible to dominate the world.

But! After the Chu State conquered Wuyue, pacified the Southern Barbarians, and unified Jiangnan, the people of Jiangnan could temporarily stay away from the war and live a peaceful life. And the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, the land of Qilu and Yanbei, as well as the Qinchuan River, and the desert grassland, I don't know when it will be unified? ā€

"You mean?" Mai'er asked, "Those small vassal states in the Great Zhou world will all perish." At last! There are only a few large vassal states left. At last! How many years will it take for the world to be unified? ā€

"Hmm!"

"What if that's the case? Isn't that still a war? ā€

"Hmm!"

"Can there be no war?"

"Impossible! Don't fantasize! ā€

"Didn't you say? As long as people's mindsets change, will the world be different? ā€

"But who will spread the ideas of Taoism? How many kings were willing to embrace Taoist ideas? Even if Qin Xiaogong and Wei Ying accepted the Taoist doctrine and ideas, even if King Wei Hui changed his concept, even if King Chu was also wise, what could they do? Will their sons, the kings who will succeed them, accept the ideas of Taoism and rule from the standpoint of the people? ā€

Only when generations of kings have ruled from the standpoint of the people can the people of the world enjoy a truly peaceful and prosperous world. And as long as there is a generation of kings who are not like this, and the kings of a country are not like this, and there are aliens in the world, there will be no peaceful days for mankind.

According to Taoists, aliens are those who only care about themselves and affect their survival. Human nature is selfish, and you can only look out for yourself. But! It must not affect the survival of others. On the premise of not affecting the survival of others, you can be as selfish as you want. You can be as free as you want, no one says anything about you.

When the selfishness of a person, a group of people, a vassal state seriously affects the survival of others, a group of people, other countries, then! The society began to be chaotic.

Fight for survival and see death as home! Death anyway! It's better to die in battle!

"Just you taught him such a cruel method, and he, the king of Chu, gave you so much gold, silver, jewelry, and jade?" Seller asked.

"Cruelly?" Zhuangzi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Isn't that cruel?"

"But if I can't do this, others will also give advice to the King of Chu!"

"What others can say, you can't say!"

"Why?"

"Because you are the inheritor of Taoist doctrine! You represent Taoism! You? ā€

"Me? Am I still the inheritor of Taoism? I? Zhuangzi smiled bitterly: "I am just a person who struggles for survival. ā€

"But? It's because of you! The people of Chu and the land of Wu Yue brought about a war because of this. ā€

"But I don't come up with this idea, or if no one else comes up with this idea, won't there be no war between Chu and Yue?"

Zhuangzi defended: "Without a war between Chu and Wu Yue, the two countries would have gone to war as well." The Viet Congregation continued to expand northward, annexing other small vassal states. There will be friction with Qi and Korea, and there will be war with Chu. And what about the state of Chu? The land of Shangzhou was lost, and they all wanted to take it back from Qin, so it was inevitable that there would be no war.

In a word! War cannot be avoided.

Even if the king is a Taoist, he will still go to war. One of them! To maintain the situation. Second! If you don't invade others, others will want to invade you, and you can't avoid war......"

After talking about the war, Mai'er still asked in disbelief: "Is the King of Chu really willing to give you so much gold, silver, jewelry, and jade?" Isn't it too much of a loss? You also gave him a cruel method, and you got so much gold, silver, jewelry, and jade? ā€

Zhuangzi nodded and said, "If he is a generation of famous monarchs, he will be willing to give it!" And! He will keep it a secret for me, he won't let anyone know about it, and keep me safe.

Of course! If he is not a famous monarch and he is very mediocre, it is not necessarily. Maybe? He will let the envoys change their methods to ask for it. Or! The envoy he sent had a problem, and the envoy worked with his retinue to find a way to get the gold, silver, jewelry, and jade back. In order to get these things, they will come and kill people.

He is a famous king, and the envoys he sends must be reliable. It's the faint king, and there is a problem with the envoys and retinue he sent. So! If they don't come to trouble in the near future, these gold, silver, jewelry, and jade will be yours, and you can boldly accept them, and you can spend them lavishly! ā€

"Why should I spend it? I'm afraid the thief doesn't know I have gold in my house. I? What does my family want so much gold for? My family's gold and silver are enough for my children and grandchildren for a lifetime! What shall I do with so much silver and gold? I? Let me be terrified! Woowoo woo ......"

Not only was he unhappy, but he also complained, thinking that the family had too much gold and silver, and that he was worried about the thieves and was not safe.

"You don't know! Maybe? In the event of a drought or insect plague or other disasters, you can't buy food without gold! I'm telling you! ā€

"Gold can't be eaten!" The seller retorted.

"But? Some people don't pay attention to this point, they have food but no gold, so! If you don't have gold, people won't change it. So! Everyone traded for gold. At last! Whoever gives more gold, he gives bread to whomever he wants. At this time, you can take out all your gold and exchange it for that life-sustaining meal. At this point, gold is just as important......"

"But I just don't believe that even if King Chu is a Ming Jun, he may not be willing to give us so much gold, silver, jewelry, and jade!" The seller still said suspiciously.

Zhuangzi smiled: "Have you ever seen the cow that was going to be used as a sacrifice?" Clothed it with patterned brocade, and gave it fodder and beans. When it is led into the temple and killed for sacrifice, it just wants to be an orphan calf that no one takes care of, is it still possible? It's late! It's all late.

Me! It was the calf, the calf offered by the King of Chu. It's just that! Before the king of Chu took me into the Taimiao and killed me, I had already run away! The fine forage and beans I ate were for nothing! Hahaha! ā€¦ā€¦ā€
