Chapter 25: What is a Saint?

Just having a lot of enthusiasm and hard work with frowns on your brows can't achieve great things, and if you want to succeed in the end, you must at least have a set of methods.

And what are the methods of those leaders, the methods that lead everyone out of the darkness?

None of them are the same, each of them is different, each has its own methods, and ...... It must be different!

The situation of each era is different, and the problems faced are also different, such as the social situation, people's thinking, economic situation, international situation, ...... And so on, blah blah, all of them are different.

Therefore, the leaders of each era, of course, have different specific methods for leading people out of the darkness, and this set of methods for getting out of the darkness and returning peace to all the people in the world is called the way of leveling the world.

There are also some people who like packaging, and they will change the name of the way of the world, called - the art of the emperor.

In fact, the essence of the two is exactly the same, that is, how to make the world stable, the reason why it is called the art of the emperor is just a little more advanced.

With the Qin Dynasty as the boundary, the way of leveling the world before the Qin Dynasty is fundamentally different from the way of leveling the world after the fall of the Qin Dynasty to the present!

That's right, that is, until now, from the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the present era, and I don't know how many years in the future, this set of extremely powerful ways to level the world, although it will be slightly different in each historical period, but in essence, it is impossible to change.

And if you want to understand what this method is all about, you must start from the roots.

Before Dayu ruled the water, there were definitely many dark periods in the world, but what the specific situation looked like, because the time was too far away, the historical materials were extremely scarce, of course, it was not clear.

Therefore, it will take the era of Dayu's water control as a starting point, and then talk about it roughly.

Dayu is not true in the end, in fact, it is not easy to say, after all, there is no historical data of the Yu era, but in the legends of all countries in the world, there are legends of the great flood, therefore, let it be if it is really good.

In the era in which Dayu lived, the biggest disaster faced by the human face, of course, was the flood that ravaged the world, therefore, how to deal with the flood was the way to level the world at that time.

This is not a very simple thing, until now, flood fighting and rescue is a headache, therefore, Dayu can be in ancient times, the flood that ravaged the world is done, it is really remarkable.

After Dayu ruled the water, according to Yasheng, at the end of the Yin Shang period, there was a problem in the world again, and a terrifying tyrant Wang Wang popped up.

However, history is written by the victors, so what kind of person is the king of Zhou, let alone modern times, is placed more than 2,000 years ago, let Yasheng come up with conclusive evidence that the king is a super tyrant, I'm afraid ...... , he can't take it out either.

However, the Yasheng era two thousand years ago, after all, was closer to the Yin Shang era than now, maybe there was really conclusive evidence of this at that time, so it would be better to be the king of Yin Xuan and be a super tyrant.

Since he is a tyrant, of course it is very bad, for his own selfish desires, he ignores all the people in the world, and the people in the world are full of complaints, and the people are not happy, so how to kill this tyrant and establish a better dynasty is the way to level the world at that time.

This is not a simple matter, after all, no matter how bad the king is, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and he is also the ruler of the whole country, therefore, with a small vassal state of the Zhou State, it is also very good to directly force the king to self-immolate.

The Zhou Dynasty was divided and entered the Spring and Autumn Period, which can be said with certainty, after all, there are historical records.

So, what is the problem of the Spring and Autumn Period?

It's very simple, it's just eight words - people's hearts are not ancient, and animals are not as good!

It can be said with certainty that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the people's lives were actually quite good, and the extremely acute social problems were not so prominent, and even the wars between countries were completely like jokes.

However, looking at the time of 2,000 years, the problems that arose in the Spring and Autumn Period, in terms of how terrible they were, were all firmly in the first place!

When the Zhou Dynasty did not fall, people's hearts were very simple, at least on the surface, they were still very harmonious with each other, between the vassal states and the royal family, and there was no excessive calculation at all, let alone the incident of stabbing in the back.

However, after the Zhou Dynasty was divided and entered the Spring and Autumn Period, between various families, between various families and vassal states, and between vassal states and the royal family, it was no longer so simple, that is, ...... The human heart has changed, and it has begun to slowly turn black.

When the family tries to kill its own lord in order to replace the vassal state, and when the son of the vassal lord does everything possible to kill his father in order to become the leader of the kingdom and replace his father's position, everyone from the royal family to the vassal state, to the various families, and finally to every common man, everyone from top to bottom...... , it's all changed.

Facing his surroundings, he raised his eyes for profit, and waited quietly for the right moment like a cruel beast, and then suddenly he pounced on it, daring to kill all the people who stood in his way!

The saint is finally afraid, what is he afraid of, is it these people who have become terrible monsters, is it the terrible era when the Zhou Dynasty is about to fall, but everyone is very satisfied, is it the helpless reality that the people of the world are sinking into the sea of misery, but they don't know it?

No, what he feared was much more serious than that, and that was ...... , people will get worse and worse.

It is difficult to fill the craze, and there is no need to fill it, because this is human nature and the driving force for social progress, but in order to satisfy your own desires, you will hurt your bosses, friends, and relatives...... , and even strangers, if this continues to develop in the long run, the times will only slowly sink downward, and eventually ...... , a complete collapse.

This is what the saints feared, and it was also the trend of all the sharp-eyed wise men at that time to be afraid, so there was a so-called grand occasion that was unprecedentedly heroic but extremely sad - a hundred schools of thought contended!

If there is no disease in the world, there will be no such so-called pomp and circumstance at all, and there will be no need to go out at all!

It is precisely because the world is sick, and it is precisely because everyone in the world is sick that there will be this kind of so-called pomp and circumstance.

Therefore, the wise men of various schools began to stand up one after another, and came up with their own school ideas, trying to change this extremely dangerous situation, trying to turn the people's hearts back again, and trying to delay the continuous sinking of the whole world.

Therefore, in the era of a hundred schools of thought, whether it is a saint or a wise man of various schools, all the wisdom crystallization that comes out is only to save people's hearts, not - the way to level the world!

To govern the whole world peacefully, after all, it is up to leaders, kings, and commanders, this kind of people to do it, and the saints who have no intention of the world, and those wise men of his time, have no responsibility at all to pay attention to the people of the world!

To put it bluntly, no one is qualified to teach others how to be human, whether it is to become a beast or to continue to be an honest man, with the saints and those wise men...... , is there a penny to do so?

As long as you take out your own cultivation path, you can already do it, and you are already very worthy of the common people in the world, the way of the world...... That's what leaders have to think about!

But...... , where are the leaders, those kings and virtuous ministers...... , and where are you hiding?

Zhou Tianzi, the lords of various vassal states, the heads of various families, and the common people all over the world, what are they all doing!

Wait, wait, wait, look, find, search, wait, ......wait, , the saint did not wait, let alone find.

Thereupon...... , after looking up to the sky and sighing...... , the saint is finally ...... and lifted the pen himself...... , began to write about this era, this hopelessly era-Spring and Autumn.

If it weren't for great compassion, the saint wouldn't have been able to lift a pen at all, wouldn't he know that riding a calf to travel like Lao Tzu is a very chic way of life?

However, the sage, who had foreseen the changes in society in the future, finally left an insurance policy for future generations, and how he would formulate a method for the way to level the world...... , which remained in his writings.

That's right, it's not a simple way to level the world, but ...... and the way to work it out!
