Chapter 28: The Peerless Martyr

The Mo family has the ability to forcibly reverse the general trend of the world, but it just does not change, and just works hard to promote its own morality, is it wrong?

Taoism was hidden in the Warring States Period, and only preached its own "human law and earth, earth law and heaven, heaven law and Tao, and Tao law nature." But it also respects the principle of inaction, that is, to do nothing, is there anything wrong?

The Yang Zhu school advocates that "self is precious" and preaches that "if you lose a single bit to benefit the world, you will not be with it; you will not be with the world; you will not lose any of it, and everyone will not be harmed by it, and everyone will be detrimental to the world, and the world will be governed!"

From a historical point of view, this is of course wrong, but if we look at it from a moral point of view, whether it is the Mohists, the Taoists and the Yang-Zhu school, or even those schools that know that they preach morality every day, but they don't do practical things, there is nothing wrong with them.

The cultivation paths they preach are all good, and the ultimate goal of hoping for the rotation of people's hearts in the world is also true, but ...... , but it's too cruel.

In that Warring States Period, when you eat me and I eat you, it was basically precarious, and everyone in the world, from the overlords of various countries to the ordinary people, has all ...... It's been bitter for too long.

The overlords are no longer as chic as in the Spring and Autumn Period, they get together when they have nothing to do, and tease Zhou Tianzi well, but they tighten all their heartstrings all day long, for fear that one day they don't know which neighboring country around them, they will directly press the border and swallow themselves, and there is not even half a bone left.

As for the common people, there is no need to talk about it, in that terrifying era when the average life expectancy was only less than 30 years old, how much did they have to die every day, even less than 12 years old, but the poor boy, modern people can really fully understand it...... Is that cruel?

Therefore, Yasheng, who could no longer look at him, finally began to re-follow the path of the saint when he was in his forties, and embarked on a road of propagation that he himself did not know the result of.

Gongsun Chou once asked the teacher, Gazi's prime minister, he has to do the right thing, although this is the overlord, it is not different, so is it tempting?

Yasheng's answer is not moved, this is not pretending to be nonsense, he is really not moved at all, the reason is clear, the reason why Yasheng also wants to travel around the world, one is that he hopes to find the real holy lord Ming Wang like the former saint, and second, his main purpose is actually just to promote Confucianism and Taoism and save his school from danger.

The main issues he talked about with the monarchs of various countries were only the way to govern the country, and he only talked about the real way of leveling the world at most.

The reason why I don't talk deeply about the way of leveling the world is that it is clear at a glance, are people who can't even govern their own country well qualified to listen to the way of leveling the world?

Therefore, it is enough to tell the monarchs of various countries what is the way of Confucianism, and persuade those who are stupid every day to be kind to their own people, which is already a great merit.

Therefore, when a few decades later, when the third leading figure of Confucianism, a generation of Confucian Xunzi, came to the forefront, he put almost all the bigwigs in the world, including his predecessor Yasheng...... , all of them were scolded!

And this fierce Confucian, who offended the whole world, also clearly showed the real secret of Confucianism, the combination of rigidity and softness, virtue and law, and influenced future generations for two thousand years - the art of the king's hegemony, which was clearly displayed in front of the eyes of the world.

How can there be any so-called Legalism, can Han Feizi really be regarded as the founder of Legalism, is he really the master of the so-called Legalism at that time?

Han Fei and Li Si are just teachers Xunzi, unscrupulous students with little skin!

Xunzi offended too many bigwigs, was too strong, and taught two unscrupulous students, so he was disdained by the so-called Confucianists of the past dynasties, and even criticized as a joke.

Even his painstaking writing, "Xunzi", is not listed in the thirteen classics of Confucianism, which is really ...... , there is nothing to say.

Let's just say that, even if "Shangshu", "Zuo Chuan", "Ram Biography", "Gu Liang Biography", including "Spring and Autumn", all the five old-fashioned history books are not read, "Xunzi", the first detailed exposition of Confucianism's way of leveling the world, must also be studied carefully!

This book is too important for Confucianism, especially after the small turmoil at the end of the Qin Dynasty, after the ultimate version of the way of the world that Confucianism has come up with, all of which have been burned and dispersed...... , that's all unknown.

However, "Xunzi" is not included in the Thirteen Classics, and it has always been infamous, which may also be intentional by the great Confucians of the past dynasties, after all, Xunzi is really too real, and he almost shakes his own old bottom.

Therefore, in line with the mentality that good things must be studied secretly, they all deliberately did not promote "Xunzi", and even constantly criticized Xunzi himself.

Is this the case, it's just a kind of blind guess, but if it's not like this, it's that you never study "Xunzi", or you deliberately attack Xunzi, so the person who says this kind of shameless thing ...... , is it worthy to be called a Confucian scholarโ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”!

Xunzi is a real hard-working Confucian, he is the same as Yasheng, he has been unbearable to the society at that time, but he himself is much more bold than Yasheng, and much more strong, anyway, now his own school has re-emerged, and the way of the world suitable for today's era has also been completely formed, therefore, Xunzi hammered the table and directly started his own ...... , the road to the world.

The book is just a small action, Xunzi's real big action is to start silently traveling around the world, yes, he is also like his two predecessors, back and forth in the countries.

However, Xunzi's purpose is not to find any Ming King Holy Lord, but to ...... , study the strength of each country!

After reading all the major powers, Xunzi began to preach and officially started his own road to peace in the world.

History records that Xunzi accepted a total of three students, but he definitely has more disciples, but Han Fei, Li Si, and Zhang Cang are the most famous, and the people who really got the true biography of Xunzi ...... , I'm afraid it's the famous face of the early Han Dynasty - Zhang Cang!

This may be the name of the true disciple, but what is going on is not the point, so I will not say it again.

Li Si and Han Fei, two unscrupulous students who think they have obtained the true transmission of the teacher, actually have nothing to say, but through the ideas and experiences of these two people, even if they have not read "Xunzi", or even if they have read but have not understood "Xunzi", they can also understand a little bit from one side, what Xunzi's imperial technique is like, why it can be beep, and it has affected future generations...... , two thousand years old.

Even...... , I don't know if it will continue to affect...... , what a long time.
