Chapter 796 It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish
Mo Zhai made a generous statement, and Lu Di was full of praise when he listened to it, and he agreed very much in his heart.
There is such a fact in later generations, although this fact is a bit glaring, but it cannot be denied that it is the truth: the world's greatest scientists are theologians in the end, and all the science in the world is theology at the end.
Of course, Lu Di's purpose is not to let the world's scholars fall into the prison of theological self-hypnosis, but to let people have the desire to explore the truth, just like a curious cat, will not give up curiosity because of mystery, it is in this curiosity, in the process of exploration, people will get huge material and spiritual wealth.
As for what it is like to come to the end, it doesn't matter, life and life, the endless process is the most important.
Ziwei obviously disagrees with Mo Zhai's point of view, thinking that it is self-deception, in his opinion, how stupid scholars are, they will doubt everything after getting a little so-called truth, empty eyes, self-esteem, and the consequences of this are terrible, of course, what Mo Zhai said may not be non-existent, but in the end, there are very few people who can do it because "the more you know", the more "sweaty", "walking on thin ice", and "honest and fearful". If less is more, the world will be unstable.
Ziwei's words shook Lu Di's original approval, and he felt justified after thinking about it, which is the same as the fact that there are always people in later generations who take a little so-called historical "knowledge" and "knowledge" and make nonsense, engage in historical nihilism, and use Western "knowledge" and "logic" to speculate on the wisdom of the ancestors and the current unknowable, and then say that the ancestors are feudal superstitions.
Feudal superstition, that is also stronger than religious superstition!
Because the root of feudal superstition lies in people, and the purpose of superstition is for people, not like religious superstition, the root of religious superstition is in God, and the purpose is also for that god, not for people.
Lu Di then remembered another sentence: Educated people are not terrible, but what is terrible is that knowledgeable people are uneducated.
Because the knowledgeable people control the court and the wealth, if they shake everything, doubt everything, and turn this country with a mainstream culture into a miasma, overgrown with weeds and barren, then if this is the case, is there any hope for the country, is there still hope for the people?
In the end, it is conceivable that the people of this country will be trapped in a kind of self-thinking entanglement, where everything is true and false, everything is nothing but nothing, everything is dreamy and illusory, and everything is not good or bad...... Hehe, the only thing to do at that time is to sit in a daze on the Bodhi tree, right?
Lu Di fell into deep thought, he was making a trade-off. If Mo Zhai's view is that the water of the great river flows downward, looking forward to the future and moving forward, then Ziwei's view is to go back to the source and trace the past. One uses development to solve problems, the other relies on history to solve problems, one is radical, the other is conservative, both are for the stability of the world, and both seem to be justified and inadequate.
"You guys stand down first" Lu Di's fingers rubbed his aching temples, and he had a great headache for Mo Zhai and Ziwei, who were still arguing fiercely in the main hall, because both sides had their own reasons, he couldn't make a final decision for a while, so he could only let the two of them retreat for the time being, slowly, calmly and calmly.
"No" and the two sneered, looked at each other for the last time, were full of hostility to each other, and finally flicked their sleeves and parted ways, leaving.
Ziwei and Mo Zhai were originally from the Song Dynasty, and their backgrounds were similar, they were both "untouchables", and they were also the best of the learned people who respected ghosts and gods very much.
"Father, this?" In the palace, a young man among the princes and grandsons saw that the two great scholars were unhappy, and he was a little worried, so he hurriedly stood up and said to the worried Lu Di.
The young man was the fourteenth son of Lü Di, named Lü An, born to Lü Di and the eldest of the twins, Yan Ji.
Lu An likes to tinker with things since he was a child, and has a good relationship with Lu Di's sister-in-law, Bird Slippery, and after the age of ten, he studied in Taishan Academy Palace with Bird Slippery.
Lu Di came to Taishan School Palace, and Lu An, as his son, naturally accompanied him day and night.
Seeing the endless worry on the face of the old fourteen, Lu Di smiled and comforted: "An'er, don't worry too much, this Ziwei and Mo Zhai are both open-minded countrymen, and the reason why they have caused the current situation is not because of 'personal vendettas' but because of 'justice'."
Speaking of this, Lu Di added with a smile: "An'er, don't you often say that 'personal enmity will fog people's eyes, and the more you argue, the clearer it becomes'?" ”
"They debate differences for the sake of justice!"
When Lu An heard his father's words, he breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Lu Di said again: "An'er, what do you say a great monarch is like?" ”
Lu An didn't understand why Lu Di asked like this, he just said according to his own understanding: "The child thinks that the great monarch can make people follow his will."
Lu An's words were deeply influenced by Mo Zhai, and among the thoughts that Mo Zhai admired in the Taishan Academy was "absolute humility": it was the absolute obedience and absolute loyalty of each class.
Lu Di did not express his opinion, but looked at the other sons and the kings and grandchildren: "You also tell me what a great monarch is like?" ”
The princes and the kings and grandchildren expressed their opinions one by one according to the respect and humility of the eldest and youngest, and some said that the fourteenth brother was right, and the great monarch was to let people obey his will; Some say that the fourteenth uncle's words are inappropriate, and the great monarch should be that everyone is willing to follow him; It is also said that the great monarch obeyed the wishes of the scholars; It is also said that a great monarch is a virtuous and righteous person, and he is a person who has the ability to share the worries of the country and the people...... Probably Fanfan, and so on.
Lu Di smiled, he was very satisfied with the answers of the sons and the kings and grandchildren, these children and grandchildren were much stronger than other noble heirs, if they hadn't grown up in his princely family, he believed that with their respective talents, they would not be a problem to go through the normal promotion channels, and the officials would not be a problem to the three princes and nine kings.
"There's some truth to what you're saying, but how?"
The fourteenth son, Lu An pondered for a while and said, "Give it a fish."
The other princes agreed, after all, they had received real benefits, and people would love him and support him. And this is the greatest prerequisite for becoming a great monarch.
Lu Di looked at the son of the crown prince Lu Qu, Wang Taisun Xi, at this moment Wang Taisun Xi was thinking about things with his cheeks, outside the fugue house, he didn't see Lu Di looking at him, everyone didn't hear Wang Taisun Xi's answer, they looked over, they saw Wang Taisun Xi blushing his cheeks in a daze, and his eyes were "shining" and even many Wang Sun The corners of his mouth leaked the meaning of ridicule and watching jokes.
Seeing this, Fat Dun Wang Sun Yan pulled Wang Taisun Xi's sleeve with his fat pig's trotter hand, Wang Taisun Xi realized that everyone was looking at him at this time, his face was red, and he looked at Lu Di with great guilt, as if he had made a great mistake, but he didn't know why everyone looked at him, and he was panicked at the moment, and he didn't know how to answer.
At this time, a small note secretly appeared in front of him, which read: "Grandfather Wang asked you how to be a great monarch?" ”
