Chapter 019: Confucius Xingtan Debates Lao Tzu
"The human heart is changeable, just like the white clouds in the sky, one time it is a dog, the next moment it may be dung"
"The ultimate in Taoism is the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the people, and the ultimate in the people's love and hatred. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info people's hearts are changeable, as Mr. said! But no matter how it changes, people are still people after all, just like the cloud, no matter how the shape changes, whether it is pleasing or hating, but after all, it is a human being, it is a human being, he has things he likes, there are things he hates, we can regulate the growth of the tree like planting a tree, it sends the wrong branch, we cut it off; He had worms on him, and we used our hands to catch them. ”
"You mean it's going to be a fight! Struggle is the source of turmoil! The Son of Heaven is fighting for the hearts of the people, the princes are fighting for land, the doctors are fighting for rights, the scholars are fighting for status, and the common people are fighting for food, clothing, housing and transportation. If the people's hearts are disputed, the world will be overturned; The land struggle will be fought for many years; The struggle for power and status will lead to deception and national turmoil; The struggle of the common people will be morally degraded! Do you still have to fight like this? It's better not to fight! Learn to blow the willows in the wind, and when the wind comes, the willows will flutter with it, so that the leaves will not be damaged! ”
"I don't think so! When the rain comes, if we don't fight, we will be drenched in the rain; If you don't build the road, the road will be muddy! If Shang Ding and King Wu didn't rebel against Xia Wei's Shang Dynasty, people would continue to live in water and fire."
"Your struggle is a struggle of pain, and it does not necessarily bring happiness! Have you ever wondered how long Xia Wei Shang can live in the world? Although people are exploited and oppressed by them, how many people are really exploited and oppressed? After Shang Ding and King Wu fought, how long did people suffer? Shang Ding fought in Xia, King Wu cut down, tens of millions of dead and wounded, and bled for a hundred years! Do you say that Xia Wei and Shang Jian can live for a hundred years, and can they cause tens of millions of deaths and injuries because of their personal strength? Kongqiu, do you think there is any point in this fight? ”
"Meaningful! If there is no fighting, there will be no weekly ceremony! Without strife, the human race will not progress! Fighting may bring more pain, but sir, isn't it the hope of fighting that we are richer and happier now than when we were in business? ”
"When winter comes, the snow covers the vast land, and all the pollution is pressed underneath, leaving behind a white expanse, which makes people feel really clean, but when the violent sun comes, the evil and filth leak out, do you say that hope is really hope? The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency in the loss of more than enough, and the way of man is to make up for the deficiency in the loss! The way of heaven is the fairest, so it is better to go to humanity and imitate the way of heaven and follow nature! ”
Kong Qiu was about to argue again, buzzing, huhula, horses chirping, hooves rolling from all directions, this saw and heard the same made Lao Tzu and Kong Qiu shake their heads, the two looked at each other and smiled, exchanged courtesies, and then stood up.
The onlookers were listening in fascination, and when they saw that the two-horse cart had interrupted the sages' debate, they were all furious, and complained to the nobles who had come.
Yan Ying Chen Qi Gao Zhang arrived first in the same batch, followed by Xianzhang Guoxia Du Fan Li and others, everyone was getting off the car, at this time an anxious voice came, "Two sages, where are they, where are they?" The widow is too late, and the widow is guilty..."
Everyone hurriedly got out of the way, Qi Jing was just dressed and led the ministers, and came to Lao Tzu respectfully, the etiquette was very standard, but it made Lu Di, who knew that Qi Jinggong was a person, stunned.
Lao Tzu smiled and helped Qi Jinggong up, he could withstand this Qi Jinggong's salute, which was determined by his identity, knowledge and age!
Then they greeted each other again, everyone laughed and said some intimate words, Lao Tzu took Lie Yukou and wanted to leave, how could Qi Jinggong let him leave easily, if his reputation was spread, it would definitely provoke other princes! Yan Ying personally arranged a good state guesthouse to let Lao Tzu and Kong Qiu and others stay, Lao Tzu disagreed, but looked at Qi Jinggong looking at him with blank eyes, and saw that the little boy was pitiful and wanted to eat the food of the state guesthouse, and sighed secretly, the water wanted to be clean, but the wind blew ripples!
Thinking of this, he no longer shirked, and squeezed into the state guesthouse with everyone.
Qi Jinggong urgently convened a court meeting to discuss how Qi Guo should treat these two sages? On the one hand, these people admired their knowledge, and on the other hand, they were afraid that they would harm their interests after entering the court, so they poured out one after another, and even made noise.
Lu Di lay in Qi Jinggong's arms, looking at the group of people in the hall, the little radish head shook, these people are the same as the monarch who defended the country, and they are people with a fake name!
When Qi Jinggong heard about these courtiers, he couldn't make a fuss in the end, and he was furious, "The widow doesn't care what reason you have, the widow wants to know, knowing that the talented person is in front of him and doesn't use it, what will the people of the country think of the widow, how will you look at the well-dressed court doctors; What do the princes think of the Qi Kingdom? ”
Du Yan said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the birds in the sky will not envy the fish in the water, and the fish in the water will not envy the birds in the sky. Although Kong Qiu is a great sage, his proposition is a retro Zhou ceremony, and my Qi country's governing strategy has always been the Guanzi doctrine, between the two belong to the sky birds and fish in the water, although they are all to make the country rich and strong, but if you let the fish out of the water, or the birds out of the sky, do you think this will work? Therefore against it! ”
As soon as Du Yan spoke, the Qing School Doctor buzzed up, "Your Excellency, what Doctor Du said is right!" ”
Chen Qi didn't know what to think and exchanged a look with Bao Mu, Bao Mu knew what he meant, and stepped forward in favor. Gao Zhang and Guoxia glanced at each other, and they also agreed with Du Yan's proposition.
Liang Qiu originally didn't want Kong Qiu to be in Qi State, but now seeing that the general trend is like this, he is secretly happy in his heart and wants to second it, but when he saw Qi Jinggong's dark face, he trembled in his heart, and dared to love the king and wanted Kong Qiu to be in Qi State, but if Kong Qiu was out of office, it would be difficult for a Yan Ying to deal with, not to mention a more stubborn Kong Qiu! Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and was silent, and Mei Chen's faction closed their eyes and said nothing when they saw this posture.
Qi Jinggong looked at the trend of the court becoming one-sided, and really wanted to scold in his heart, what these people were thinking, he knew it clearly, and the corners of his mouth trembled angrily.
Seeing this, Lu Di felt a pain in her heart, and cried in the court. This cry suppressed all the ministers in the court. Qi Jinggong saw his beloved son crying, and hurriedly held him in his arms to comfort him, "What's wrong with you?" Talk to Daddy, Daddy will call the shots for you."
"Daddy, Tu Tu... Whining... Tu Tu... I think you're so pitiful! ”
How pathetic? As soon as these words came out, cold sweat broke out in the heads of the courtiers, and when Qi Jinggong heard this, he thought of the grievances, his eyes were sour, and he hugged Lu Di and cried in pain.
The ministers who were shocked in this face were even more sweating, whether their behavior was too much! Is there a suspicion of forcing the palace? What would happen if the people of the country knew? The more they thought about it, the more cold sweat broke out, and they set their eyes on Yan Ying, the minister of state, who had not spoken.
Yan Ying sighed and said, "Your Excellency, what the doctors said is reasonable, Kong Qiu's proposition does not conform to the current national conditions of the Qi Kingdom, but the monarch's consideration is not unreasonable!" Kong Qiu is talented, come to Qi country, if Qi country is not with high-ranking officials, then who will come to Qi country in the future? Ying suggested that he should be sealed as a high-ranking official and not given to a high-ranking official."
"Seal its high-ranking officials and give it to high-ranking officials? Yan Qing, what do you mean by this? Yan Ying's words made the sobbing Qi Jinggong seem a little confused.
"The king can crown Laozi and Kong Qiu as the elders of Qi State, and at the same time hire Kong Qiu's disciples to participate in politics, so that Ying said that he will be a high-ranking official and not given to a high-ranking official. One blocked the mouths of the princes of Youyou, and the other sent Kongqiu's disciples to the local government to govern the country, so as not to damage the overall situation of the Qi State; Third, although Kong Qiu complained about the king, he couldn't complain. With these three rules, why don't you do it? ”
"This?" Qi Jinggong hesitated for a while, but after seeing the faces of the ministers, he sighed and said, "According to Yan Qing's request, Lao Tzu and Kong Qiu will be hired as the elders of Qi State, and Zai Yu will be hired as the doctor of Linzi, and Gao Chai will be Sitian." After saying that, no one can think about it, so he picked up Lu Tu and went down to the court.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and when they reflected it, they felt that something was wrong, as if all this had been arranged, otherwise how could the king directly tell the appointed characters and official positions without even thinking about it? The leaders of the four major forces looked at each other, and then looked at Yan Ying, who had already fled, their faces gloomy.
In an antique bedroom, Qi Jinggong was rolling back and forth on the ground with a smile, haha... Ha ha... You've all fallen for the widow, you've all fallen for it! Haha, Fun, Fun!
It turned out that all this was within Qi Jinggong's calculations, and he knew that it was impossible for Kong Qiu to be a high-ranking official in the Qi State, because the four major forces did not allow it! But it is not a blessing for the old man to be controlled by the four major forces like this, so he came up with such a note, transferred the flowers and begged for the second, grabbed the capital Linzi in his hands, and gave Fan Li's vacant Sitian position to Gao Chai, so that the four major forces wanted to take the opportunity to intervene in the seam and were directly blocked by him, thinking of this, he became more and more happy.
Lu Di is completely cute at the moment, this? This? This? I underestimated Qi Jinggong, it's not that he doesn't have the ability to control power, but whether he wants to control power, and whether he has the conditions to control power!
However, among the seventy-two sages, Zai Yu became a doctor in Linzi in advance, I don't know if this is happy or worried? And that Gao Chai, the guy who is said to have lived for one hundred and thirty years, has now become Si Tian, this? The turmoil in the court of Qi this time is too great, and the four major forces will definitely fight back, but this lord is still immersed in joy, I really don't know if it's really stupid or fake, hasn't he seen such a huge crisis?
Qi Jinggong was in a good mood, and dipped in wine and ate a few big steamed buns. Lu Di sighed, "Daddy, Tu Tu wants to go to Kong Qiu."
Qi Jinggong agreed, and sat on his Qi Country No. 1 and rushed towards the old man's mansion.
