"Well, that's exactly what I'm worried about!"

"Then the master thinks that if Qi Chu starts a war, the Qi country will definitely be defeated?" Duanmu Ci snapped. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Zigong, the national war is fought with comprehensive national strength, which power do you think is greater than Chu or Qi?" Kong Qiu glanced at this disciple.

"This?" Duanmu Ci was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "But Master, there are many examples in history of winning more with less, and defeating the strong with the weak, such as the case of Jin Yan attacking Qi the year before last, but being defeated by my Qi country, can't we win this time?" ”

"Hehe, Zigong, it would have been inhumane to defeat the strong with the weak, but he won, not because he was really strong but because of luck. How strong is Jin Yan's power, if he really fights hard and fights in the wilderness, do you think the Qi Kingdom has any hope of victory? In the end, Confucius said in the affirmative, "Answer, no!" Even if you win for a while, you will eventually perish! ”

"Master, Ci still finds it difficult to accept" Duanmu Ci's momentum became very decadent, and the other disciples were the same.

Kong Qiu smiled at this time, "You guys, don't be sad and sad, in fact, in my eyes, the Chu State is not the biggest and most dangerous opponent of the Qi State at all"

"Huh?" The disciples were shocked by their master's words.

Kong Qiu said: "Do you know the difference between civilization and barbarism? ”

"Civilization and barbarism?" The disciples nodded first, and then hurriedly shook their heads.

Seeing this, Kong Qiu smiled and said, "The sage's "Book of Changes" says that the premise of civilization in the world is to see the dragon in the field, so what is to see the dragon in the field? ”

The disciples shook their heads again.

Kong Qiu said, "In the spring, the dragon star rises from the horizon of the field, and everyone looks up to him and respects him. Learned and moral people will come out to do things to assist the virtuous dragon star, so that the world is prosperous, humble and courteous, there is benevolence from the top to the bottom, respect and love from the bottom to the top, and everyone helps each other and loves each other, which is called civilization. ”

"What is savagery? Savagery follows the law of the natural jungle, that is, my muscles are stronger than yours, and my strength is greater than yours, so you should listen to me, and it should be my food. He does what he pleases by relying on the body given by nature, so savage means chaos, dirty, backwardness. ”

The Master meant that civilization acts in accordance with humanity, and barbarism acts in accordance with the way of heaven! But Master, if the disciples have any doubts, will those who follow the way of heaven prevail over those who follow humanity, or will those who follow humanity defeat those who follow the way of heaven? A young disciple said.

"Ziyuan's question is exactly what I want to say in the end, why don't I worry about Chu State?" Kong Qiu saw his mother's clansman Yan come out to ask, smiled slightly, and then said with a serious expression and even some sadness: "People often say that if you are backward, you will be beaten, but they forget that backwardness means barbarism, and barbarism is never beaten, but beaten!" ”

That is to say, civilized people are often bullied by backward ones. Just like the Yidi people of our Great Four Directions, compared with our vassal states guarding the gate of the Son of Heaven, they are barbaric and backward, but in fact, they often beat the civilized vassal states all over the body, and even exterminate the country and the nation! ”

"Master, your words have caused us great pain! If civilization means suffering, then why do we pursue civilization in that case? ”

Kong Qiu saw that his disciples' faces were painful, sighed, and did not directly answer the reason, but continued: "Compared with the State of Chu and the State of Qi, the State of Chu is barbaric, but the State of Chu also follows etiquette to a certain extent, because the soil of his country produces civilization and talents. His monarch can't appoint virtuous people, which is a good thing for the Qi country, but it is a sad thing for those virtuous people who can't see the dragon ascending field. That's why I said that Chu State is not the greatest danger and fundamental danger of Qi State."

"Master, which country do you think is the biggest danger to Qi? Or which country is the greatest danger to civilization? ”

Kong Qiu thought for a while and said heavily, "Qin State"

"Huh?" Everyone was shocked when they heard Kongqiu's words, and they couldn't believe it at all.

"The Qin State is a despicable country, why do you say that he is the greatest danger to the Qi State and the greatest danger to civilization?" Bu Shang's brows furrowed, obviously his master's answer was beyond his imagination and ability to accept.

"The reason why I say he's the most dangerous is because of this... The country of the horsehusband, without the land of civilization, cannot produce talents, but his monarch, well, or the state system can reuse the talents of other countries, which is terrible! In the future, once he encroaches on more land, he will pollute the soil of those civilizations, so that he will lose the talents that produce civilization, but the talents of other countries will not see these, they only know that they can realize their ambitions in the Qin State, and to assist him, the result of the assistance is more war and aggression, which is like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger, and finally the entire civilization of the soil was plundered by the Qin State, becoming a barren country that will not produce talents and will not have the growth of civilization, and by that time, people will come back to their senses, but it is already too late. Because the violence and barbarism of the Qin State will make those civilized people submit, and if they don't obey, they will be killed..."

Kongqiu's words were like a huge prophecy, like a huge spell, haunting the hearts of his disciples, who vowed to be inseparable from the Qin state in the future, and if that day really came, they would be willing to use their lives to maintain civilization and maintain the soil that produced talents.

If Lu Di was here at this moment, he would definitely go crazy, it turned out that Kong Qiu was still a prophet, his prediction was right, after the Qin State unified the world, the soil of civilization was gone, the talent was gone, and finally a splash man sat in the world, this is really the sorrow of civilization for barbarism! Perhaps it was because of Kongqiu's secret words today that the later Confucian scholars would create the rebellion of Qin Shi Huang.

The discussion on Kongqiu's side was pressed for the time being, and his gaze returned to Linzi.

Nangwa was beaten, and although there were so many people guarding him, he was still beaten by the excited people. Nanwa limped and went to the court of Qi State.

"Qi Hou, what do you mean, what do you mean?" Sauva roared.

Qi Jinggong was silent with a dark face, and Yang Sheng ran to Nangwa in front of him and hurriedly apologized and said all the good things, and Nangwa looked at Yangsheng's dog-licking appearance before he felt more comfortable.

However, Yangsheng's appearance has aroused the dissatisfaction of Tian Sui Tho and other main battle factions and some Qing Gaoshi doctors, you are the eldest son of the king, and your words and deeds represent the Qi country, your low-spirited appearance is to discredit the Qi country, where is the face of the Qi country, where is the dignity of the Qi country?

Lu Di looked at the servile face of the eldest brother Yangsheng, and the green tendons on his angry temples leaked out, "You are the envoy of the Chu State?" ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Nangwa looked at the boy who was coming down from the hall.
