Chapter 533: A new interpretation of the word Confucian

Yang Jing's new interpretation of the word "Confucian" made the people in Yilun Hall almost shocked the chins. The emperor's words were too fierce, completely subverting various comments of Confucianism in the past.

Yang Jingwei was quite leisurely, still smiling, not thinking how surprising his remarks were.

"Your Majesty dares to ask Your Majesty, since Your Majesty understands the word Confucian by thinking that people need to understand the true meaning of Confucianism, then what does people need to be? How do they represent Confucianism? Can Your Majesty explain it in detail?" While everyone was still shocked, Huang Zongxi was filled with joy in his heart. He always felt that he had opened a window for him in the dark, as if he had understood something, and immediately asked, regardless of the emperor's object of his question.

The people from Yilun Hall were surprised again and looked at Huang Zongxi with surprise. What happened to this world? It would be fine if the emperor was crazy, but even Huang Zongxi went crazy. This world was too crazy.

"Haha, good question, I understand the word Confucian by people who need to understand the word Confucianism from their own experience. I think that the concept pursued by saints should be dedicated to solving human needs. These needs are either born with heaven or inheritance of civilization, etc...."

"...I just want to say that a person born with a natural gift is needed. Please see if it matches the concept of the saint..." Yang Jingwei said with a smile.

Everyone looked at the emperor in horror, but Huang Zongxi looked happy and his eyes were shining. A certain idea that had always existed in his mind began to sprout and grew up rapidly.

"...You can pinch your nose with your left hand and then cover your mouth with your right hand. You can naturally understand what human needs are, and you can naturally understand what is natural and gifted. The most important person's need in life..." Yang Jie said.

The emperor said he wanted to pinch his nose with his left hand. The people from Yilun Hall immediately pinched his nose. The emperor said he used his right hand to cover his mouth. The people from Yilun Hall immediately covered his mouth...

In this strange situation, even the guards in charge of the emperor's safety couldn't help laughing. For nothing else, they all blushed and their necks were thick, and a few of them almost fainted.

As everyone held their breath longer and longer, the guards finally couldn't help laughing out loud. The tense atmosphere in Yilun Hall gave this funny feeling and it was gone.

Yang Jing also made the guards laugh. His cultivation skills were broken. There was no way. Seeing such scenes that blocked his nose and mouth and his eyes were almost overwhelmed, it was hard not to laugh.

"...Okay, okay, everyone will let it go..." As the guards burst into laughter, Yang Jie waved his hands repeatedly, asking the students, officials and great scholars of Yilun Hall to put their hands down. If they don't let it go, they are afraid that someone will really die of suffocation.

"How? This is what I said about the natural human needs. Can you feel it?" Yang Jie's stomach hurts.

Everyone in Yilun Hall's faces were all red. Apart from blushing, they were all embarrassed.

"When you go back to Your Majesty, I feel that this is indeed the most important need for people. If a person cannot breathe and dies in a moment, it is considered natural gift from heaven. When a person is born, he must breathe when he is born. Only when he dies will he lose his breath. For all living beings, breathing is essential and indispensable for people. This is more urgent and important than eating and drinking water. It should be the first need for people..." Lin Qiong's face was flushed, and he was very embarrassed, but he answered honestly.

"Yes, this is also something I discovered by chance. I can't breathe. In just a moment, a person is about to die. I think that breathing should be the first person. I often think that even if it starts from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it will only take three or five thousand years. But if people breathe, they don't know that after tens of thousands, millions of years, or tens of millions of years, if this is the case, that is, breathing should be born and given to heaven. Even as the lord of the world, I cannot deprive others of the right to breathe at will..." Yang Jinge said.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Lin Qiong replied with a red face.

"How dare the student asks Your Majesty, how can this breath explain Confucianism? What does this have to do with Confucianism?" Huang Zongxi still ignored the questioning.

"The sages advocate "ritual and music", "benevolence and righteousness", advocate "loyalty and forgiveness", and "dolition and doctrine of the mean". They advocate "virtue governance", "benevolent government", and human ethics..., you have never thought about what these are for in general?" Yang Jing asked, and looked at Huang Zongxi with encouragement. It is difficult to talk to himself with equality in "personality".

"Reply to Your Majesty, the student doesn't understand..." Huang Zongxi answered in confusion. Everyone was waiting for the emperor's answer.

"In my opinion, it is for this natural and natural life's greatest need, breathing needs, or freedom of breathing, the right to breathe... Think about it, what are the consequences of unfaithfulness and forgiveness? What are the consequences of unfaithfulness and forgiveness? What are the consequences of unmoderate politics? What are the consequences of not being kind? What are the consequences of not talking about human ethics?" Yang Jing asked several questions in a row.

This question caused the people of Yilun Hall to fall into deep thought. Some people panic when they think of these problems, while others are even more shocked when they think of these problems, while others are at a loss.

"When you go back to Your Majesty, there is no human relationship, it is naturally a family. Disharmony between father and son, and conflicts are reborn..." Huang Zongxi answered bravely again in the various expressions of the crowd.

"Yes, what about the further consequences?" Yang Jingwei asked immediately.

"......... It's naturally that the father and son of the family complained about each other, then quarreled, fought, and finally...killed each other..." Huang Zongxi began to reason about the lack of ethical consequences between the family according to the emperor's ideas. In the end, he was quite surprised and finally associated with the killing, that is to say... Huang Zongxi suddenly understood something.

"Haha, right, in the end, they will definitely kill each other. What are the consequences of killing? Isn't it just that there is no breathing? Isn't it artificially deprived people of the natural right to breathe? The sages advocate ethics, in fact, to fight for the freedom of breathing and the right to breathe for the people of the world, so that people should not fight each other, and not kill each other, so that everyone can cherish the hard-earned natural right and breathing rights!" Yang Jing immediately linked the consequences of not being ethical with breathing, thus proof that the core of Confucianism is to talk about human needs, which is to better enjoy this natural right.

"Boom!..." The people in Yilun Hall were hit hard by the emperor's remarks without exception, and many people began to feel dizzy.

Some people also suddenly opened a window of their hearts and suddenly saw a more enchanting and wider world outside the window. Although this world is incompatible with the things in this house at present, it is indeed so attractive.

"Students understand, students understand..." Huang Zongxi shouted loudly. The emperor's remarks make sense. If they are linked to other ideas of the saints, it undoubtedly further shows that what the emperor is saying is right. Confucianism is human needs. This is the truth that saints regard Confucianism as their lifelong pursuit.

"... The students understand that, then, if there is no moral governance and without mercy, the consequences will be that the world will be in chaos, with blood flowing into a river, heads and corpses everywhere. In other words, if there is no moral governance and without mercy, countless people in the world will lose the freedom to breathe and lose the possibility of breathing. This natural power given by heaven will be ruthlessly deprived. Your Majesty, breathing is the greatest need in life, breathing is life! The saint's philosophy is all permeated with human needs! The saint advocates these, which is to fight for life for the creatures in the world and fight for a way out for the people in the world!... Your Majesty's philosophy is to penetrate into human needs!

Next, Confucianism should be explained by human needs, but it turns out to be..." Huang Zongxi figured out that these ideas advocated by saints are indeed related to breathing. Breathing is a natural, gifted by heaven, and the first need, that is, the original meaning of breathing is life. Without virtue and mercy, then I don’t know how many people will lose the freedom of breathing, the right to breathe, and the life. In other words, the saint’s philosophy is indeed committed to human needs and to seek "life" for more people. The saint’s philosophy is all permeated with human needs. The word Confucianism should be explained by human needs.

"…Breathing is the first requirement of life, breathing, that is, life..."

This sentence was shocking when Huang Zongxi shouted out.

"Your Majesty, I understand. Confucianism should be explained by people's needs..." Lin Qiong was not a fool. After hearing Huang Zongxi's shocking words, he suddenly understood that none of these ideas advocated by the saints were not related to human needs, especially the first person in life. Breathing is the closest connection, and breathing represents life. Confucianism should think that living creatures in the world compete for their lives and a way out for the people in the world!

"Oh? Haha, the Qing family understands something, so why not say it." Yang Jing spreads the "new theory" here, but he doesn't want anyone to be careless or to be sloppy. The people here are all elites from the cultural and educational circles. If even they don't understand the meaning and purpose of what they say, then he is really just a blind man lighting the lamp and wasted.

"When you go back to your Majesty, the saint advocates loyalty and forgiveness. If you look at it from the other way, what will happen? The world is full of betrayal, full of backtracking, full of intrigue, full of deception, full of cruelty, and no faith in the world, no more faithfulness, no more loyalty, betrayal, deception, and cruelty will become commonplace. These will inevitably bring endless killings, endless wars, endless death, and ruthlessly deprive countless living beings of the world. Countless people will die. This is actually a scene of hell, which is terrible..." Lin Qiong tried his best to calm himself down, breathing heavily. The consequences of not being loyal and forgiveness are really terrifying, and can only be described as hell.

"Hell?" Yang Qiei asked.

"Go back to Your Majesty, yes, only hell can have this scene." Lin Qiong said affirmatively as he tried his best.

"In other words, hell is a place that saints cannot reach. Buddhism says that in order to save all sentient beings, I will not go to hell, who will go to hell? I want to ask, if the saint's concept is to spread to hell, will there be any Confucian scholars willing to go?" Yang Jingwei asked.

This is what the people in Yilun Hall hold their breath even more. What the emperor means is to give Confucian scholars the courage to go to hell? Many people take a deep breath.

"Go back to Your Majesty, I am willing to go..." Lin Qiong was really firm, saying word by word.

"Okay!" Yang Jing shouted ok and praised. This was an unexpected gain. If Confucian scholars really had the courage to go to hell, then Confucianism is a good Confucian. I just hope that Lin Zhen would not think so. If there were a group of Confucian scholars who were not afraid of going to hell, then it would be really not difficult to change the world by themselves. Not to mention anything else, the Ming Dynasty never sent an envoy to the West for communication. If there were any Confucian scholars willing to go to hell, they would not mind sending them to the West. This was also considered to be going to hell. This was undoubtedly very useful for promoting various exchanges such as culture. It would be even more important to have friction with the West in the future and understand the background of the West.

Everyone in Yilun Hall looked at the Emperor and Lin Qin in surprise. For some reason, the topic suddenly came to this point. Only Huang Zongxi's eyes were bright and full of light.

"Liu Qing family, do you understand?" Yang Jing asked Lin Qiong, and then asked Liu Zongzhou, a great Confucian scholar and the second in charge of the education industry. Yang Jing did not seek to deal with most scholars now, but only wanted to deal with these elites in the cultural and educational circles for the time being.

"When you come back to Your Majesty, I understand that the so-called doctrine of the mean is like this. If you do not talk about the doctrine of the mean, the country will definitely conquer blindly, and war will definitely bring death. Countless families will destroy people. I think that the saint is also fighting for the fate of the people in the world and fighting for the way to survive. The saint's philosophy is indeed like this. I claim that I have read the books of the saint and understood the concept of the saint, but in fact I am ashamed. Only when I wake up today is like a dream, I understand the true concept of the saint. Confucianism should fight for the lives of the people, and should take others as my own responsibility..." Liu Zongzhou also said a lot of experience.

"Okay!" Yang Jie nodded the same way, although Liu Zongzhou was not as good as Lin Qiong, it was not bad.

"Kong Qing's family, do you understand?" Yang Jie asked the descendants of Saint Kong again.

"When you come back to your Majesty, I understand the relationship between benevolence and righteousness and human needs. If there is no benevolence and righteousness, there is only tyranny and cruelty. How much suffering is the people in the world? How many people die? Nine out of ten families in the world can also be called hell on earth. Therefore, all the people have always hoped for the benevolence and righteousness, and all the benevolence masters. Qin was tyrannical, but they died in two lifetimes. The Han practiced benevolence and righteousness for hundreds of years. Since then, the founding of the Tang and Song dynasties have always regarded benevolence and righteousness as the first, so they have been able to enjoy the country for a long time..."

"... Also, like the countries of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, most of them were unkind and unrighteous, without any moral ethics, without moral governance, without benevolence, without war, and moral degradation, and I don't know how many creatures were miserable or how many people died. They were really lost in clothing and clothes. The decline of China was the most tragic and dark history of our country. These actions were contrary to the ideas of our ancestors. If we could rule the world with the ideas of our ancestors at that time, how could such a tragic world have emerged? Therefore, I think that later generations should take it as a warning and must not abandon the concept of saints..." Kong Zhenyun first talked about benevolence and righteousness, and then combined with history, talking about the importance of Confucianism and the importance of his ancestors.

"Your family makes sense. Whenever I read the innocence and darkness of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, I feel uncomfortable. This should be taken as a warning. The sage's remarks should indeed be the basis for governing the country." Yang Jing praised Kong Zhenyun, a descendant of Confucius's so-called generation. To be honest, although Confucianism has flaws and is not satisfactory in some aspects, it actually plays a crucial role in inheriting Chinese civilization. Even if later generations criticized Confucianism very much, Yang Jing did not like Confucianism, and he could not dislike this.

"I also agree with Your Majesty. I think that the Southern and Northern Dynasties are both the pain of my Chinese land and the Confucianism. It is precisely because of the weak Confucianism at that time and no one believed in the concept of saints that this happened in that period of history. I think this proves that Your Majesty is right. The word Confucian should indeed be understood as the need for adults. Isn't want to survive the most basic human needs? The concept of saints and the concept of Confucianism is not based on this, nor is it based on this premise. Whether it is the moral requirements for individuals or the concept of governing the country, they are all working hard for the people to survive, and they are all working hard for people's needs. Confucianism should understand adults, and Confucianism should do their best to be humans..." The little official next to Kong Zhenyun saw that Kong Zhenyun finished speaking, and the emperor looked at him again. He consciously talked about his own experience. It was also very clear.

"Yes, it makes sense. Living life is the most basic need. Confucianism is indeed committed to this aspect. The word Confucianism should be regarded as a human being... I have been in decline for many years, but every time I stand up again. Confucianism plays a key role in it. The many concepts advocated by the sages are the core driving force for my rise after the decline of China. The most sages and masters, masters of all ages, and sages are indeed worthy of..." Yang Jing praised.

The people in Yilun Hall gradually calmed down, and their heads were knocked unconscious by the emperor's magical remarks, and finally began to wake up. Although the emperor's words were a bit weird, they did not slander or insult the saints. They were even more arrogant and respected. This strange remark is not unacceptable...

Seeing that although everyone was relaxed, everyone's nerves were still very tense, Yang Jiewei was ready to talk about a relaxed topic and make the atmosphere more harmonious. The pressure on everyone to discuss the saint's issues in this way was too great.

"Kong Qing's family, I have always had a question in my mind, and I have always wanted to figure it out. Today I happened to meet the descendants of the saint, and I just wanted to ask." Yang Jingwei asked.

"When you go back to Your Majesty, your Majesty just ask, and I will speak for you." Kong Zhenyun replied.

"If I remember correctly, the book records that the saint is nine feet and six inches tall, Kong Wu is powerful, very brave, and can also draw strong bows, and has a great alcohol tolerance, right?" Yang Jingwei asked in a jokey tone.

"...This, go to Your Majesty, yes!" Kong Zhenyun replied awkwardly. His ancestor Confucius was indeed like this.

"Haha, Liu Qing's family just said that the word Confucian should be interpreted as a weak person, but I look at the saints, but I am not weak at all! Hahaha..." Yang Jing said with a smile.

The emperor's words made the people present silence and they all "smiled". This question has always been a question that I understand in my heart, but I can't think, ask, and not even mention. Now that the emperor jokingly said it, everyone is also a black line of the forehead.

Liu Zongzhou was even more embarrassed. He just said that the word Confucian should be interpreted as a weak person.

"This is actually nothing, and it also shows that Confucianism is the truth that people need. In the era when saints lived, all countries were in power and fought for many years. The road was not stable, and insects and snakes blocked the way. If a saint did not have extraordinary force and was a weak scholar, how could he walk around and spread Confucianism? At that time, the saints needed a powerful body of Confucius and could be able to dig a strong bow! People need to be Confucian, and saints were practicing it in their own hands! Do you think so?" Yang Jing said in a joking tone.
