Chapter 38: How to Divide the Weight with the King (19)

[Unexpectedly, within a day, the monthly pass rose to more than three hundred and fifty. All of a sudden, it rose to tenth place. It's a bit unexpected, and I would like to thank all of you for your support. In that case, I can't break my word. Today is still a double shift, this is the first shift, the second shift is in the afternoon. Continue to ask for a monthly pass. It's chasing after me very closely. 】

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

Everyone in the temple was chewing on these simple eight words.

Song Yongchen felt that the meaning of these two sentences was not difficult to understand, but the seemingly shallow words made him feel very heavy for some reason.

He wasn't the only one, everyone else was silent, thinking.

Most of them may be looking for the faults, but they are still thinking about it.

"Natural Selection...... What is Heaven? Wang Anshi was the first to break the silence and questioned Han Gang.

"Naturally, too."

Of course, Han Gang would not expect that he pointed out the eight-character mantra, Wang Anshi and Cheng Hao could bow their heads. It is normal to pick thorns, but how can a translation that has been passed down for a hundred years in later generations and is known as a model of Sindaya find fault in a hurry. If there is a problem, it will only be Han Gang himself - insufficient preparation and poor learning. But Han Gang has been preparing for today for a long time, and he only needs to list the facts to prove himself right.

"What is competition?"

"Chase." Han Gang paused for a moment and changed to a more appropriate word: "Earn your life!" ”

Song Yongchen snorted softly, there is no more appropriate word. With life in the struggling situation, it's no wonder it feels heavy.

Cai Bian, who wanted to come out to refute it, was also speechless for a while, but he didn't expect Han Gang to have this answer.

"In nature, all things are born, if you can't adapt to the environment, then you can only be eliminated, a dead end." Han Gang raised his finger and said loudly, "The locust outside the court, there are tens of thousands of locust seeds every year, and there may not be a single one that can sprout into a tree." The big insects on the mountains, even if they can dominate the mountains when they are healthy, but once they are old and sick, they can't chase their prey, and they can only starve to death. Elk in the mountains are often chased by wolves, and those who escape slowly will fall into the wolf's mouth, and those who run fast can survive. All things in nature, all living beings, are fighting for their lives. How many people can be like the people of China, who are old and have care, medical treatment for illness, and can live in peace until the end of their lives? ”

There are not many people who can live to the end of their lives, even in the Great Song Dynasty, the average life expectancy in this era can be forty, it is good, the emperor is paralyzed, even if he can survive this year, but what about next year? It's just that Han Gang's words are difficult to refute.

In the Great Song Dynasty, which ruled the country with filial piety, if there were rebellious sons who did not support their parents, the pro-people officials had to pay the responsibility for ineffective education, and the number was indeed very small. If you are sick, you can seek medical treatment, which is also a place of pride in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Liao State has to send an embassy to ask for medical assistance. This is indeed not a beast.

Since Dong Zhongshu created the induction of heaven and man, so that Emperor Wu was fond of it, the Confucian righteous path has gradually declined. The White Tiger View Conference linked the Wei Wei with Confucianism, which made the path of Confucianism completely deviate. But today's meeting makes people feel like they are getting to the bottom of the matter.

But how willing is Cai Bian? He breathed a sigh of depression in his chest, but he couldn't vent it. Han Gang introduced the topic into his area of expertise, and it was difficult to find a place to start now.

Taking advantage of the opponent's hesitation and organizational discourse, Han Gang's words changed and turned to Yi Di, "The way of nature, birds, beasts, insects and pigs all obey it. And the reason why Yidi is like beasts is that they follow the way of nature, not the way of man. ”

Father-son reunion is a special case, a characteristic. Natural selection and survival of the fittest are universal truths, and they are the essence.

"Why is it that among the many barbarian tribes, the father dies and the son succeeds? Occupying more wealth and resources comes from the instinct of animals. Only by occupying more, can we live better. 'A spoonful of food, a scoop of drink, in the alley, go back and don't change its pleasure', there are many people in the market. But among the barbarians, there is no way to get out of Yan Hui. ”

"What is a New Year's coin? It is the meat of the tiger, hoping that when he is full, he will not eat people. But the heart of the tiger and wolf of the Liao country, after being given the New Year's coin, how many times has it been settled? ”

"Barbarians are afraid of power but not virtuous, why not? The power of China is determined by life and death, and it has to be feared and obeyed. In the world, everything is fighting for its own life, and the weak eat the strong. Forcing the weak, the weak from the strong. Wolves may be rarely seen, but there are not a few people who have seen monkeys in captivity in the garden. The most powerful male monkey can be the leader of a group, and the rest of the weak will obey the command. ”

"China's virtue, on the other hand, will be seen as weak and deceitful. In nature, only the weak will give up their private belongings, what is the dog burying bones for, for fear of being robbed! Barbarians are like beasts, and they regard people like beasts, and the only thing they will do in the face of the weak is to bully them, and they will not have the slightest sympathy. Even if China treats it with morality, it will only be regarded as fearful, and no matter how rich the gift is, it will be taken for granted. ”

Han Gang's gushing words gave a variant of the theory of evolution to Siyi. They can use it anyway. In any case, Han Gang will not use it on his own family, nakedly preaching that the law of the jungle eats the strong, and there will be no room for any foothold in a society based on Confucianism. But today's people, there are countless examples of the law of the jungle, and any one of them can casually count dozens of things to see and hear. The Haoyou family annexed the Tian Mansion, isn't this the law of the jungle or what? A few years ago, grain merchants in the capital took advantage of the disaster and famine to hoard grain and not sell it, intending to make huge profits.

Han Gang said it too thoroughly, although he said it was the way of nature, and he said that he was a barbarian beast, but it was connected to reality. has a kinship, Song Yongchen feels that he is not the only one. It's no wonder that Wang Anshi and Cheng Hao are conservative.

It's just that in front of the emperor and empress, who can say that today's Great Song Dynasty is also the law of the jungle? Who has this list Han Gang's exposition is simple and easy to understand, that is, it has been spread to the people, and people who have seen cats and mice, praying mantis catching cicadas, and yellow finches eating insects can understand the meaning.

However, some people still stood up and tried to stop Han Gang: "'Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs'." Speaking of the Privy Councillor, it seems that this is all there is to it. ”

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. It means that there is no selfishness and no discrimination. But what Lu Dalin wants to say is the root of this sentence, which comes from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. Many people in Shilin are familiar with this sentence. It's just Han Gang, holding it, of course it will cause people to discuss.

"The inner saint and the outer king are just a sentence." Han Gang retorted.

The theory of the inner sage and the outer king comes from the "Zhuangzi", not Confucian dogma. In the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was a criminal policy of etiquette and music. At that time, Confucianism, although there was a sense of heaven and man, and there was a diagram of the weft. The root of this is still on the actual affairs, 'the four levels of etiquette, music, criminal and political affairs are not violated, and the royal road is prepared'. Even now, it is only because Confucianism began to integrate the Buddha and Lao, and the noun that originally belonged to the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism has gradually become popular.

Now, no matter which one of them, there are things that are directly borrowed from the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism. is the most Buddha-like Xujiang Li Jing and Ouyang Xiu, who also use a lot of Buddhist rhetoric in the article. Shao Yong blended Confucianism and Taoism, and talked a lot about the truth of the inner sage and the outer king, so it was regarded by Cheng Hao as the core theory of Shao Yong's study of elephant numbers - 'Yaofu, the study of the inner sage and the outer king. ’

Back then, Shao Yong and Cheng Hao said 'Tao'. Pointing to the table, push from within the Liuhe to outside the Liuhe. Han Gang didn't understand how Shao Yong pushed it, anyway, Shao Yong said that he wanted to teach Hao, and after Cheng Hao praised it twice, he said that he didn't have time to learn, "A certain brother has to work hard to learn?" It must be 20 years of work. They are not allowed to learn from the punishment of the students: 'How many things have to be done in the seven or twenty years of punishment, how can they learn this?'

Shao Yong and Ercheng are far less harmonious than they seem. Maybe it's really harmonious, but above the Taoist system, Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi will not give face to their old friends.

Lu Da Lin put his words in order, he wanted to refute Han Gang, but he couldn't seem to be summoning Shao Yong's soul.

After a moment's hesitation, Han Gang took the lead again: "Natural selection, survival of the fittest, is the way of nature, not the way of inhuman." The difference between man and beast is precisely because of the difference in Taoism. Parrots can speak, they do not leave birds, orangutans can speak, they do not leave animals. Even if there is a trace of human resemblance, the essence is unchanged. ”

Han Gang had no intention of promoting the theory of evolution or the theory of heavenly evolution, and he was not crazy. One step ahead of the times is a genius, and too much beyond is a madman. Moreover, Han Gang has been saying that if he wants to prove the idea of evolution, the existing knowledge reserve is completely insufficient, and there is not enough evidence, how can he support the theory of evolution? Moreover, it is more important to establish the banner of positivism than a simple theory, which is more important for the future of Han Gang's planning. In the current situation, Han Gang just wants to apply the theory of evolution to society and attribute it to the enemy.

"The difference between humans and poultry is only in the ceremony. Those who are polite are people, and those who are rude are beasts. The reason why Huaxia is different from Yidi is because of this 'ceremony' - the reason why mortals are more expensive than beasts is to be polite. Ceremony, to say small, is a blessing from God and a human relationship. But in the big picture, it's grammar, it's norms, it's norms. With the guidelines, norms, and grammar, the Chinese people will be able to settle down and perform their duties, and the people will be in order. It's just that this ritual must be done with benevolence, otherwise it is no different from leading beasts and cannibalism. The human heart is not at peace. ”

In the entire hall, there was only Han Gang's voice, and after he had clearly distinguished the difference between the way of nature and humanity, almost everyone gave up competing with Han Gang on this issue. It's not just that it's too transparent, but Han Gang's summary is enough to make people think deeply.

What's the point of this?

Cai Bian's mood gradually settled down. Neither Wang Anshi nor Cheng Hao spoke on Han Gang's arguments, which shows that they do not attach much importance to it.

Minghuayi's distinction, in addition to making people listen to the relief, what is the effect?

"Spring and Autumn" three biographies, "Zuo Biography" narrates history, "Gu Liang" discusses righteousness, and "Ram" talks about revenge, only Huayi. The real distinction between Zun Wang and Hua Yi as the general outline of "Spring and Autumn" is still from Sun Fu's "Spring and Autumn Zun Wang Fa Wei". Far less than the benefits of "Three Books".

As long as everyone understands it, Han Gang will definitely be besieged. With Qi Xue's recent aggressive appearance, there are no longer a few people who are disgusted in their hearts.

Cai Bian was thinking about whether Han Gang would be pointed out by a thousand people, and Han Gang was continuing according to his own beat, "People live in the world, and all things are born to people." Animals are among them. ”
