Chapter 151 Heating Becomes Cold Valley-4
"Right is the harmony of profit." In the eyes of everyone, Zhao Xingde continued: "If you just talk about great righteousness, everything will become a tower in the air. Therefore, there must be a place for the great righteousness in the world. As Mr. Zhu said, "The human relationship between husband and wife, dressing and eating, is the law of nature. Seeking profit and avoiding harm, is the original intention. The great righteousness in the world is the harmony of the interests of the people in the world. Since the lofty places are vague, why not start from the real point below and take the interests of everyone in the world as the foundation to establish a basic system. Follow the laws of nature and control people, you need to look at the big things, start from the small things, and do it layer by layer from the foundation. The people must protect their bodies, consolidate their benefits, and seek their benefits, so that they can enjoy the human relationship between husband and wife, dressing and eating, and live in the laws of nature.
This is the foundation of the great righteousness of the world. Only by recognizing this point, from the villages, to the prefectures, counties, and courts, each level is upward, so that the people can protect themselves, consolidate their interests, and seek their benefits. In this way, although it is not difficult for people to know things thousands of miles away, their personal interests are not only clear, but they must also seek benefits and avoid harm. Mr. Su Sande once said that people in the world are willing to obtain the three benefits of wealth, talent, and longevity, stay away from the three evils of poverty, foolishness, and weakness, and reject theft of the three thieves of the people of the world, obscuring people's hearts and harming their lives. The Zhou people said that respecting heaven and protecting the people, and being vigilant of virtue and punishment, ultimately, they should enable everyone to protect themselves, consolidate their benefits and seek their benefits. Taking this as the key, everyone is safe and happy, gathering sand to form a tower, and then the great righteousness of the world will be achieved."
"Everyone is peaceful and happy, gathering sand into a tower is righteousness..."
Ma Yuan murmured, and he felt something in his heart, but it was vague and unclear, as if he had grasped something. But when he thought deeply, it was like "Heaven sees himself, the people sees himself, the people listen", "The people are the most important, the country is the next, the king is the least" and so on. "No, it's not just these old-fashioned ones." Ma Yuan shook his head and turned his eyes to Zhao Xingde again, looking forward to him explaining it again.
"Thousands of miles away, the invisible righteousness is unpredictable, and the visible righteousness is right beside us."
"How can one sweep the world if you don't sweep a house? You can't clarify the inside of your ears and eyes, and you can still hope to solve the problem thousands of miles away? If all the houses in the world are cleaned up, the world will be 70 to 80% clean. This is the principle of gathering sand to form a tower, and it is also the principle of not doing small things and not doing big things. Therefore, the fundamental reason for the world is still to protect the interests of everyone."
"If you put the root of the righteousness of the world on the word "people's foundation", you will be able to read one outline and see all your eyes."
"Mencius's way is based on people, and it is not just a false statement."
"The people are the basis, and there is a real way of righteousness in the world"
"People-oriented, not just treating all people as cattle and sheep for grazing, nor is it just the result of a benevolent government."
"People-oriented is not only the foundation of benevolent government, but also the open and open path to achieving justice in the world."
"Let everyone in the world, including you and me, protect their own body, strengthen their own interests, seek their own benefits, and not rely on the kindness and charity of the superiors. This is the true people-oriented. One person is born with two pairs of ears, eyes, and hearts, and all of them are used by one person. Only by taking the people as the basis can people show their intelligence, each exert their strength, and each perform their talents, so that they can truly achieve the righteousness of the world. This is called the world, the world of the world. For this reason, Mr. Zhoushan first advocated that schools recommend the prefectures and counties to elect the prime ministers with the Xuezheng, and from the bottom up,
It is the way of the people. People are the basis, and the country is second. The courts, the villages, prefectures, counties, six ministries, and prime ministers are all upwards. Everything is the support of the people. The primary responsibility is to ensure that the people can "protect their bodies, strengthen their interests, and seek their interests," rather than go against them. The people are the main ones, and the people in the world can protect their bodies, strengthen their interests, and seek their interests, which is equivalent to sitting in the position of master. The prime minister is just a housekeeper, an official is just a deacon, a clerk, and a servant is just a servant. The king is a guest, a noble person, but he is only a noble person and a ruling."
"The great righteousness of the world should be based on the people's three things: "protect their own lives, strengthen their own interests, and seek their own interests."
"Just just now, everyone is willing to seek profit and avoid harm, and the people of the world will think that the enemy of righteousness is our enemy, and the harm of righteousness is our harm. Everyone opens their ears and eyes and minds. Great righteousness is closely related to the interests of millions of people. Everything is in front of the eyes and ears of thousands of people in the world. Not only is it difficult for traitors to hide, but once it is exposed, everyone will eliminate it quickly. In this way, the benevolent loves others and puts the righteousness of the world on everyone. The court is beneficial to the people, and the people will work together to safeguard the righteousness of the world. In this way, the ears and eyes of the world, the strength of the world, and the wisdom of the world are all used for the righteousness of the world. If a trickle of streams will eventually converge into a large river, blue waves, and flow into the sea. Let me ask you, who can stop the righteousness of the world?"
Zhao Xingde's tone was calm, not even much fluctuation. However, the navy officers and the gentry of Lizhou were all listening attentively. Ma Yuan clenched his fists, his eyes were full of excitement, and he kept nodding. These words were really deafening. Zhao Xingde had been no longer able to preach and teach in the army for a long time, so everyone did not have much hope. Unexpectedly, he actually made such a grand statement today.
Mencius was the most popular among the Confucian Confucians of the Song Dynasty. Many Confucian scholars called themselves Meng Confucians, and were the most accepted by the world.
"The people are the basis, the country is the second, and the king is the least." This sentence has long become a catchphrase, and people often talk about it in teahouses and restaurants. However, Zhao Xingde's explanation, just like he re-explained the moral distinction and the way of a gentleman, made it unrecognizable to the past. It was like breaking an invisible barrier and opening up a world. Only then did everyone realize that outside the house where they were wandering every day, there was such an unheard-explained spacious space, and the people were the basis. The school's recommendations were just a little intention, and it was not until now that they saw the whole picture. Just a glance, the scenery was intoxicating and lingering.
"Everyone is peaceful and happy"
"The people are the basis, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important"
"A trickle of water gathers sand to form a tower, this is the righteousness of the world."
After Zhao Xingde's words fell, someone was meditating, and someone was repeating the sentence just now in a low voice, like a low echo in the valley.
The younger generation dared not let it go easily. Some of the gentry such as Shen Mingchen and Lin You were still savoring it, and they were unwilling to speak rashly after they came to their senses.
Zhao Yuanzhi's articles are spread throughout the world, and his profound and unique explanations are clearly thought out after some careful consideration.
No one wants to do so, if you accidentally become the clown who sets off the protagonist in everyone's mouth.
"Dare, I dare to ask Lord Zhao, Lord"
After a long silence, a scholar from Lizhou asked in a vain: "What the gentleman said is that the people are the basis and govern the world from the bottom up. However, the Master said that only the top is wise and the bottom is foolish. Moreover, there is also, the one who works hard to govern people, and the one who works hard to govern people, how can we understand?"
Before he finished speaking, he had already caused a few sneers. "How shameful." Shen Mingchen also glared at the gentry surnamed Sun, and whispered in his heart: "There is no sound of a full jar of water, but half a jar of water is jingling. The Ministry of Rites has been trying to reassess the academic performance of the state students. Although it is not selfish, it is not unreasonable."
"What are they laughing?" Zhou He glared, a little confused, "Mr. Xu, do you know?"
"Mr. Zhou, the so-called "wise and foolishness from the top" by Master Zhou is not what some people imagine, who despise the peddler and the pawns."
Xu Xiaoyun glanced at the gentry in the Lizhou next to him and explained in a low voice: "This sentence comes from the Analects of Confucius. The sentence before the sentence "The upper wisdom and the lower foolishness are, "The Master said: "The nature is similar, and the habits are far away." And the sentence is attached to the next sentence, "The Master said: Only the upper wisdom and the lower foolishness are not moved." This is a correction to the previous sentence "The nature is similar, and the habits are far away." What is the upper wisdom and what is the lower foolishness? There is another sentence in the Analects of Confucius, "The Master said, those who know it are born, the upper one
It is; those who learn and know it is second; those who learn it are second; those who are trapped but do not learn it, the people will be the lowest.’ The so-called wise man, born to know it, will naturally not move, and those who are foolish but do not learn it is the so-called rotten wood that cannot be carved. In any case, as long as you learn and know it, and learn it is considered that "the nature is similar and the habits are different". The key is the word "learning". This is the Master's teachings and the words "will be discussed later."
Xu Xiaoyun's voice was not loud, and the gentry of Lizhou at the same table heard it faintly. Shen Mingchen and Lin You looked so yin that water was dripping from their faces. Although the student who asked the question didn't know what he said, he always knew that he had made a joke and his face was flushed. Zhao Xingde had to cough lightly, asking Xu Xiaoyun to stop and not be so mean. Zhou He and Xu Xiaoyun then stopped talking and sat upright.
"Mr. Sun," Zhao Xingde asked the student to sit down first, and then replied: "I thought that the superior may not be wise. If Emperor Hui of Jin was a fool, the inferior may not be foolish. Heroes arose among the fields, and there were countless heroes in the past dynasties. However, even if the superior is wise, the inferior is foolish. As the saying goes, a wise person will have a mistake, and a foolish person will have a thousand mistakes, and a foolish person will have a gain. A million people in the world, and one of the millions of fools will have a gain, which is enough to defeat the wise person. As for the words of those who work hard to govern people and those who work hard to govern people, as the saying goes, the stones of other mountains can be
As a martial artist, Zhao, as a martial artist, remembered a sentence in "Li Tang's Questions" and "Sun Tzu" has thousands of chapters, but no one can lead to others without being outside. However, Sun Tzu's chapter on the Art of War is a good idea. Those who have won the temple before they fight will have to calculate more. Those who have not won the temple before they fight will have to calculate less. Those who have to calculate more will have to calculate less. More than less will have to calculate less. What's more? The words of the Master's hard work and labor are related to the words of the Sun Wuzi's hard work and the words of the less calculation will have to be shared by Sun Wuzi. For example, even if he passes the Jinshi and goes to Caozhou County, if he is not familiar with government affairs and has to worry too much, he will probably be played with by others."
"So that's it," Sun Linsheng sighed softly. He stood up just to show off his limelight, but in front of Zhao Xingde, he was as pressured as a mountain on his head, and he didn't even think about Zhao Xingde's words carefully, so he had to thank him. However, Zhao Xingde said, "Those just now were just stones from other mountains. Mr. Sun's question was also doubtful, and he still had some of the gains to be discussed with everyone." Sun Linsheng hurriedly swallowed the "I admire you, admire you" that was about to say, and he forced himself to make a relish and listen to him continue.
