Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Gao Zi Debate (7)

However, no one listened to him.

And now he stands up and doesn't want Gaozi to win this debate, but he is still scolded by his fellow disciples as a defector. What can he do if he is a villain?

Only a long sigh.

Gaozi avoided the problem and led the question from whether equality is the will of heaven to the question of "whether the people want equality?". The answerer could not be the two of them, but the thousands of people in the world.

Then what else to argue?

In terms of the incitement at the bottom, the Confucian scholars knew that they could not compare to the Mohist school. Their advantage was to lobby the kings to maintain their successive generations.

This is based on one's own weaknesses and the strengths of the enemy. The winner is lost when these people decide to come to Si Shang to argue.

The hundreds of theories have developed greatly compared to twenty years ago, and the direction of Confucian innovation has been occupied: there are Mohists in the world when it comes to benefiting the world, there are farmers who value agriculture rather than commerce, there are Taoists in the Tao following nature, there are Taoists in the self-transformation of the people, there are Guanzi Schools in the rich treasury, there are strong military reforms, there are rebellions in Mohism, Wu Qi and Xihe Schools...

Confucianism has no other way than retro.

This Confucian scholar understands the terribleness of this situation too well: whoever calls the most retro is the real Confucian scholar. At that time, morality will only become more conservative and retro, and dare not move forward, otherwise it will be heresy.

But if this continues, Confucianism will only have a dead end.

Unless it is changed, under the concept of "self-restraining and regaining rituals", it becomes "self-restraining new rituals", and the core remains unchanged, waiting for the future, so as to adapt to the new era and wait for a certain day in the future.

However... in this atmosphere of "all theories are developing and improving, and whoever is the most conservative is the true Confucian", he has to carry his despise, insults from his fellow disciples, and the possibility of being expelled from Confucianism.

Do you really want to leave the Confucianism in your current life like those philosophers and form a school of its own?

Listening to the insults of his classmates in front of him, the Confucian scholar smiled bitterly in his heart.

When the scolding was noisy again, the Confucian scholar finally chose not to argue with Gaozi, but turned around and laughed at his original fellow disciples.

When he smiled, everyone below was stunned.

The Confucian scholar shouted with all his strength: "Son of the Concubine! Not worthy of conspiracy! You are all wastes, and the Master's learning will be destroyed in your hands!"

"In the past, the debate was based on words and speech, and it was chased into the palace, hoping that his doctrine would be used by the king."

"The doctrines in Si are not intended to be used by the king at all. They are speaking to the people. They already have 50,000 troops and a thousand miles of land. They no longer need to chase them into the palace!"

“Times have changed!”

"You are trying to convince the people that you tell the king? Isn't it ridiculous? You don't know how Confucianism can be used in the world. It's useless to tell the people that they tell them to listen to?"

"If you continue to argue, the Master's learning will sooner or later be destroyed in your hands!"

"Confucianism cannot change the deadly learning that is not changed even if it is not changed. It must adapt to the times, but maintain the core that can be used by the king. Only in this way can Confucianism prosper. You people are the ones who shout the most, saying that I am a traitor, but you idiots are the culprits who ruined the Master's learning!"

After scolding his fellow disciples, the Confucian scholar showed his madness and pointed to the people who praised Taoism for Gaozi just now and scolded them crazy.

"You Yang Zhu School people are just as stupid as you."

"You want everyone not to lose a single loss, and everyone is not good for the world, but your righteousness is precious and life is not in the military. Who do you think your doctrine can be adopted?"

"You group of people can only learn by themselves, but they want to be born and participate in the world's struggles. It's ridiculous."

"The Mo family can be used to deceive the farmers of industry and commerce. You can only deceive those who have some of their own property but are afraid of being taken away by the king. The king will not use your righteousness, nor will the farmers use your righteousness. What's the use of your birth?"

"You don't understand at all. Now the world is qualified to hope that everyone will not lose a single loss. How many people are there?"

"According to your decision, the farmers on the fiefdom cannot take the slightest part of the slightest part of the slightest part of the nobles. Do you think they will listen to you? What the Mo family wants to do is to cause trouble in the world; what about you? You can only follow the Mo family and wave flags and shout. After they divide the land, you are qualified to say that no one will harm the world, otherwise no one will harm the world, what's the point?"

"You should hide, cultivate your character, and be honest with all your character. Then come forward after the Mo family is in chaos!"

After scolding Yang Zhu's disciple, the Confucian scholar continued to point his finger at the Taoist disciple who had just praised for "self-transformation", and also cursed: "You Chen Cai's Taoist school is not unaware that human desires will cause chaos in the world, but you dare not admit it."

"It is said that all things transform themselves and all things transform themselves. But it is said that the saints are weak in their hearts and in their abdomen. They are weak in their wisdom and strengthen their bones, so that the people are ignorant and have no desires."

"You also know that if all things transform themselves, it will be the prey of the weak, but you can't solve it. You have to say that you will retreat to the governance of a small country with few people, so that the people will be ignorant and have no desires, so that the world can be ruled with great power!"

"I just ask you, is this desire of the people, is it the heart of the people? Is the desire of the people? Is the desire of the people, owned by the people? Is it self-transformed, even the desire of human beings is not human nature, so why are you transformed by yourself?"

"You must make people clear-minded and have few desires, and make people have all their integrity and integrity, not be burdened by external things, and be satisfied, and no longer pursue more. What's the difference between us and self-restraint and regaining rituals?"

"If everyone can be honest and not be burdened by external things; then everyone will restrain themselves and return to courtesy, why can't they do it?"

"If you really follow the transformation of all things, is human desires within the scope of transformation? Have you not seen the root of chaos in the world? Even if your way makes sense, what is the difference between your solution to this troubled times and us?"

After scolding Chen Cai Daoist, the Confucian scholar faced Gaozi again and cursed: "The same is true for your Mo family!"

"Human nature! You yell that human nature is a need, and you will cause trouble to the world, incite the people, and make everyone seek profit, and say the unity of benefiting the world and yourself, so that the stupid people in the world will be bewitched by you."

"There is endless demands of human nature. What is the difference between you and us?"

"The Yang Zhu School understands that people have endless needs, so they need to cultivate their minds so that they do not have more desires after achieving satisfaction."

"The Chen Cai Taoist school understands that people's needs are endless, so they have to return to a small country and few people. In this way, people's needs will change due to material conditions, and so that so many needs will no longer be generated at this time."

"We understand that people's needs are endless, so we must restrain ourselves and restore etiquette, so that everyone can keep etiquette and hierarchy, so as to agree on what kind of person can have what kind of desires they can have."

"Where are you? You are even more ridiculous!"

"Your method to solve the endless desires of human beings is to tell people all over the world that they are not afraid of having needs, not afraid of increasing demands, and not afraid of everyone's needs. As long as they master the principles of heaven and use them, and people can conquer nature, they can produce more food and more cloth..."

"You really think that this kind of improvement is endless and can keep up with people's desires? You really think that one day in the future, the world can produce a thousand kilograms of grain per mu, and produce a large piece of cloth per day. At that time, people's desires will also increase. When you are hungry, you will think about eating enough, when you are full, you will think about eating well, and when you are well, you will think about delicacies... endless, your paradise will never end!"

"The world will always move forward as you do, and it will never stop that day!"

"The future you give will be endless. The whole world will be extremely tired, seeking profit, seeking the learning of those villains, and learning the learning of all craftsmen. It's better not to have such a world!"

"In a world like you, people will never know why people are humans, and they will never know what their nature is except needs, because everyone in such a world is meeting their needs from beginning to end, and will not stop! Such people are no different from beasts!"

After shouting loudly, the Confucian scholar laughed to the sky and said, "The Master is gone, no one can say that I am not a Confucian scholar!"

"I said yes, I am! Only I can truly revive the Master's learning and let Master's learning be in the world in the future!"

"Because I know the essence of the Master's learning, the relationship between hierarchy and human desires, and also know that gentlemen should consider the superiors and should not think about debating with bitches, and etiquette is not for servants to listen to."

"You are insulting me and scolding me today. One day, the Confucian scholars will worship me and worship me."

After laughing, the Confucian scholar pointed at Gaozi and said, "I proposed the saying that human nature is good."

"If your doctrines really work in the world in the future, my doctrines will naturally be useless."

"But you are going to oppose the kings and princes of the world. If you fail, your doctrine will be burned, and all those who believe in your doctrine will be killed."

"Human nature is good, and it is to leave a seed for the summers of the nine provinces. When you are destroyed one day, the lord and lord administration always need this human nature to persuade them, at least it can make them a little kind to the people. Whether it is true or false, at least it will not be too cruel."

"If you all die, my doctrine can make the world less miserable."

After laughing loudly, the Confucian scholar walked down madly, facing those hostile gazes, looking as if the opponents were not worth mentioning. Those resentful gazes were just a manifestation of jealousy.

He pointed out the country and judged hundreds of schools of thought, and seemed to have already stood on the top of Mount Tai, and the energy of the small world filled his heart.

However, after only two steps, a shout came from the side.

"Bare this traitor to death!"

"You are the idiot who doesn't understand the Master's learning at all!"

"All the details of etiquette can be changed, so what kind of Confucian scholar is he? "

"You are not a Confucian scholar at all!"

"Go to die! Traitor!"

The Confucian scholars who had just been insulted rushed forward, with contemptuous anger and hatred for the betrayer, and the man was immediately submerged in endless fists and feet.

When the soldiers who maintained order pulled away all the Confucian scholars, the crazy person who wanted to vow to explore Confucianism was dead.

Facing the corpse, the crowd was not in chaos at all. In the chaotic world, there were many cases of death.

An old man among the Confucian scholars looked at the disciples who defended the orthodox, took a deep breath, and felt sad.

"A hundred schools of thought contend, and chaos and righteousness are rampant. We must distinguish between enemies and us. Apart from restraining oneself and restoring etiquette and maintaining the retro of etiquette and law, we have no other way to go, because other roads have been taken away by those villains of treacherous people. Any Confucian scholar must restrain oneself and restore etiquette. Etiquette and law must not be chaotic and cannot be changed. Those who want to change are not Confucian scholars!"

Boom...The Confucian scholars immediately cheered, and the school disputes were tolerated, but if even conquering oneself and restoring rituals was not the ultimate ideal, then what Confucian scholars are still considered? Whether it is a school of its own or a partner, it is still... it is no longer a Confucian scholar.

Only those who win are qualified to be inclusive and have a broad mind.

In this chaotic era, in this chaotic era where kings need to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and people need land and wealth, it is difficult for them to become winners, so they can only choose the most conservative path.

They found a correct way for "Confucianism" to contend in the "Hundred Schools". Only the purest retro can be avoided assimilation by other schools of thought in this chaotic world where the theory of the Hundred Schools is constantly developing, so that they can clearly identify and distinguish.
