"Try to say again, a certain year and a certain month, natural disasters came to the world and the grain harvest was bad."

"A husband in the village couldn't bear to see his mother starving, so he made a soup for the newborn child at home to fill his stomach with his mother."

"Is this husband a filial piety touching the heavens, or is it a human-faced and beastly heart?"

Xunzi stared at Ju Zizhou with wide eyes.

Judging from his expression, you will know that he wants to kill someone.

Although such a problem is impossible to occur according to common sense - how could anyone bear to do such a thing?

How could someone be so poor?

But since it has appeared as a problem and as a topic for examining school morality, Xunzi has only two ways to deal with it.

One is to face it directly.

Whether it is to make a final judgment on the husband's behavior or deny the authenticity of such a thing, Xunzi has to face this problem, and a question similar to this problem.

Another is avoidance.

Ju Zizhou's problems are often extreme. There is no malice to the "person" itself, but there are often great doubts about the "identity" of people and great targeting.

Xunzi estimated this problem. In front of so many people, he was confident that he would refute this problem to become something that could not exist at all.

But if he did this, Ju Zizhou would break up the problem and throw out some similar but more relaxed and realistic problems, what should he do?

He said nothing.

Only speechless.

A group of scholars sighed.

They whispered to each other, and most of them didn't believe that such a thing could happen.

Some people even pointed at Ju Zizhou, thinking that Ju Zizhou was crazy.

But when they saw Xunqiu not speaking, they had to shut up and dare not publicly question Ju Zizhou.

Ju Zizhou smiled and said in an extremely cold tone: "It's good to be moral, and I really want to be a noble person."

"But this thing depends on the 'need'."

"If I find that treating this husband as a filial son is more beneficial to me and the overall situation I want, then I will say he is a filial son."

"I said he felt heartbroken before cooking soup, but when he thought about his mother curled up in her dream of hunger last night, he made up his mind."

"If he says so, he is a filial son who loves his mother and does not hesitate to give up everything."

"In reality, we can also analyze this - food shortage is so short, and children are so delicate, but they cannot be raised anyway. It is better to do this."

"As for why it's not the husband himself, the old mother needs someone to take care of."

"In this way, flesh and blood, paranoid filial sons can be praised by the world."

Ju Zizhou asked, "What do Master Xun think?"

Xunqiu said that he had clenched his teeth, his chest was undulating, and he endured the idea of ​​cursing and taking action.

It's unbearable!

He has no time to speak.

Ju Zizhou said again: "But if I say so, I find that this husband is a person with a human face and a beastly heart?"

"I can..." Ju Zizhou was arrogant and confident.

Before he finished speaking, a young scholar rose up during the meal.

He finally couldn't help it.

"Master Ju!" The young man stood up and bowed, and his face remained angry: "Whatever you say is 'need' and what you need, then you will tell us all about how crazy it is to not be the need of the Son of Man, so that you, a great saint, can give such an explanation that disregards human ethics!"

As soon as he spoke like this, the passionate young men during the meal couldn't help it.

They all stood up and bowed to Ju Zizhou and asked.

When Xunzi saw this, he sighed in pain.

This game is definitely lost!

If you don’t speak, you will have a chance to win, and you can’t help but lose.

But you lost well!

The old man sat upright and his chest was infuriated: "Since ancient times, the sages are invincible, but I want to ask Master Ju with the children today."

"What kind of demand is it to make the world so dirty!"

"Please give me advice."

As he said that, Xunqiu stood up and worshiped Ju Zizhou as his disciple.

Ju Zizhou was a little surprised.

Old man...

Unexpectedly!

These people who are not limited to rules, wins and losses, interests, materials, and have their own ideals and pursuits are really cute.

If only all the people in the world can have such qualifications.

After a moment of silence, Ju Zizhou spoke.

"Demand is a very simple thing, Master Xun doesn't have to be so angry."

"The students don't have to be so indignant."

"Let's talk about it slowly."

"If you and I are the monarchs and ministers of a country."

"The country is poor and weak, and there are strong neighbors around it."

“How should we deal with ourselves?”

This is an old question.

Confucius gave the answer that year was to keep etiquette and love the people, and it was difficult for the King of Qi to sleep well.

But at this time, this answer is unavailable.

Because Confucius' words have failed.

This was the Warring States Period, and the rules of the Warring States Period were pragmatic.

Winning is right, losing is wrong.

If the method is wrong, things cannot be done, and the route fails and the country will perish.

Simple and cruel.

After a brief thought, Xunzi knew that he could not give an answer.

When he was debating in Jixia and his martial arts were invincible, he couldn't give an answer, and now he is the same.

The young men were talking a lot, but whether they were studying Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, or miscellaneous things, everyone's answers were convergent - change.

Nowadays, we can only say that the previous policies, policies, and even the overall route are wrong.

If you make mistakes, you will become weak. If you are weak, you will change. If you don’t change, you will die.

Most passionate young people can recognize some reality.

They talked in a verbal way, and some people suspected that Ju Zizhou was changing the subject.

Ju Zizhou listened for a while, was relieved for a while, and then gave a cruel answer: "I can't know everyone's ideas, but I also know that everyone's ideas are very clear about reality."

"So everyone's idea is to make a change."

"The basis for our thinking about problems is to apply them to reality."

"It can be used in practice and can be effective, so we think this method is correct. Do you agree with this?"

Xunzi nodded: "I have no objection."

"We have no objection," the students replied.

It is normal to do things according to reality.

Wearing clothes when you are cold and drinking water when you are thirsty is based on reality, confirming that it is effective, and then it is determined to be useful and can be used.

This practical spirit is very good most of the time.

"So if one of you gives a feasible solution to make the country stronger, then is this person a hero of the country?"

“It’s true!”

"Of course that's it!"

Ju Zizhou nodded: "In this way, the country is strong, should this person be the first to be rewarded?"

"It should be!"

"I think it should be."

"So, should all the credit be attributed to this person?"

Xunzi's expression changed.

But the students naturally talked: "I think it's right."

"This person will be destroyed, and this is what it should be!"

"Are you right?"

Although they were a little suspicious, everyone felt it was necessary.
