Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Wang Wanzhi continued: "Tian Chengzi has stolen the entire Qi State, is he considered a thief?"

"Forget it."

Wang Wanzhi asked: "Where did those saints and benevolent people go at that time? Did anyone come out to criticize him?"

Xie Fu didn't know how to answer.

Wang Wanzhi smiled and said: "Small countries dare not criticize Tian Chengzi, and large countries dare not attack him, and a person like Tian Chengzi even advises ministers to learn from Bigan of the Shang Dynasty. Those ministers who have read sage books Isn't it a joke to be taught with an open mind?"

Xie Fuying said: "The sages advocate self-cultivation and morality, and they also advocate that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil."

Wang Wanzhi asked: "Those wolves, tigers, and leopards live by hunting. Don't they do evil in the world? Good and evil are not judged through the mouths of sages. Sages say that wolves, tigers, and leopards are evil, and sages say yes." Such is the way of heaven, so is the way of heaven.”

Wang Wanzhi waited for a long time, and seeing that Xie Fu didn't answer, he continued, "In the state of Lu there was a great thief named Robber Zhi. One time, one of his subordinates asked Robber Zhi, do we robbers have the right way?"

Xie Fu responded with a smile: "There is also a way to steal. It is sage to be able to judge who is rich and who is poor. It is bravery to be able to sneak into the room first. It is loyalty to be the last one to leave. Know where to go and where to go. If you can't go, this is wisdom. After stealing, divide the people equally, this is benevolence."

"If you want to become a well-known thief, how can you not have this kind of character."

After finishing speaking, even Xie Fu himself felt ridiculous.

Xie Fu remained silent for a long time, and finally said: "Some small thieves who steal property will be punished and beheaded, while the big thieves who stole the whole country will become princes instead."

At this point, Wang Wanzhi stopped and asked: "Persuading a thief to become a king, and eradicating all previous sins, this is what a sage did. Maybe you can argue for Confucius. Robber Zhi's previous actions were like hunting and killing wolves to make a living. The nature of survival. Since it is the nature of survival, it does not matter whether it is good or bad, so why do you want to persuade it?"

"Confucius wanted to persuade Robber Zhi to be kind, so he came to Robber Zhi's old lair once. When Robber Zhi heard Kong Qiu's arrival, he stared angrily and said, "Isn't this the number one hypocrite in our country of Lu?" The man looks like a human, with beautiful jade ornaments, but tells the people to practice morality, saying that if you don’t farm, you can have food, and if you don’t weave, you can wear clothes. Isn’t this fooling people? Tell Confucius to leave immediately, otherwise Take Confucius to the pot."

"They destroy benevolence and righteousness, steal benevolence and righteousness, and then rebuild benevolence and righteousness. This is the benevolence and righteousness you Confucius said."

"These six people attach great importance to fame and integrity, and despise life and death. They are just pictures of names. How is it different from me stealing Zhi Tu Tu wealth and Tu Sheng?"

Wang Wanzhi smiled: "What kind of princes are, what kind of benevolence and morality are. Are those benevolence and righteousness that are performed in front of the world all day long, are they really benevolence and righteousness?"

Xie Fu Luozi, finished speaking.

Xie Fu smiled: "You have come prepared for what you said so deeply."

"Everyone in the world respects sages and sages. Acting in accordance with the rules set by sages will instead become fertile ground for Robber Zhi. If the people in the world are given weights for fighting dendrobium, Robber Zhi will even steal the weights for fighting dendrobium. The monarch said that tiger charms and jade seals can represent As a king, Robber Zhi will steal the Tiger Talisman and Jade Seal, and the sages say that only those who have morality and benevolence can be regarded as a good person, Robber Zhi can also directly steal benevolence and morality."

After Wang Wanzhi settled down slowly, he continued: "A real saint does not give any guidance, does not formulate jade seals and tiger charms, has no rights to fight, and the people themselves will become simple. There is no so-called sage rule, and the people can talk about right and wrong. No With the restrictions of the Six Laws, people have the original sense of hearing, and only when the rules of the Douhu angle ruler are removed, can people recover their innate wisdom."

"As soon as we met, Robber Zhi said to Kong Qiu: Kong Qiu, if you say well today, you can live, but if you say badly, you will become my meat in the pot."

Wang Wanzhi Luozi took up the words: "Bo Yi and Shu Qi are famous sages in the world. They resigned from the position of the monarch, but starved to death on the mountain. Bao Jiao defended himself and died with a tree in his arms. Shentudi persuaded the monarch, and finally But throwing stones into the river. Jie Zitui cut the meat and fed it to Duke Wen of Jin, and was eventually betrayed. Wei Sheng and the woman met under the bridge, Wei Sheng Shouzhen hugged the pillar and drowned."

Wang Wanzhi smiled: "Then I'm going to tell you the story of Confucius and Robber Zhi. The sages and the robbers must be the most convincing."

"In human nature, the eyes need color, the ears need sound, the nose and mouth need to know smell, and the ambition needs to be satisfied. Human life can't be more than a hundred years old. Except for diseases, losses, and worries, only three to five days a month can really laugh. If you can't be happy as you wish in these four or five days, then what is the meaning of life."

Xie Fu knew that Kong Qiu was recommended by Robber Zhi's elder brother, and Robber Zhi finally let Kong Qiu in.

Xie Fu took Wang Wanzhi's story: "Rogue Zhi said: People who like to praise others in person also like to slander others behind their backs. The big city you mentioned, Kong Qiu, is just a tool to restrict me. No matter how big the city is, it can still Is it as big as this world?"

"Confucius said: There are three virtues in the world. Those who are born with a tall body and a beautiful appearance are the highest virtues. Those who can understand the world and all things are the middle virtues. Those who are brave and powerful, and who can lead the army are the lower virtues. If you can have one, you can become a prince. The general has three kinds, but he is willing to be a thief. So I have a suggestion. If the general can stop the atrocities, I will send an envoy to the four countries of Qilu, Jin and Chu to build a big city for you. After that, the general will Being able to become a vassal without running around for a living is the choice of a sage."

Xie Fu lamented: "Great wisdom is like stupidity."

"Now what the world admires, Kong Qiu, what you admire is the blood-stained four fields of the Yellow Emperor in the battle for the deer. King Wu killed the monarch. Aren't they not great thieves?"

Wang Wanzhi said: "When the stream dries up, the valley will become empty; the hills will be flattened, and the lake will become a river. There is no right or wrong in everything, but complement each other."

"Since the Yellow Emperor, there have been crusades and conquests. When it came to Yao and Shun, officials were appointed again. Shang Tang exiled his monarch, and Zhou Wang killed his monarch. Before Confucius and your rules, people were still alive. But with these, the strong bullying the weak has become the rule of this world."

"Confucius, you practice the way of governing the country of the two kings, civil and military. You spend all day thinking about educating all living beings. You wear loose clothes and a shallow belt. You speak such grandiose words, but you do some hypocritical actions."

Wang Wanzhi Luozi said: "Zeng Shen and Shi Yu don't need to talk about loyalty and filial piety, and Yang Zhu and Mo Di don't need to persuade others. People and everything in the world are different. This is the true nature of the world. Each is according to its own nature. There is no good or bad. Good and evil."

"Things in the world are nothing more than this, Kong Qiu, the principles you said were all discarded by me, Bandit Zhi."

After Wang Wanzhi finished speaking, she made a move, and the chess game was divided, and Xie Fu lost again.

He said softly to Xie Fu: "The etiquette system in front of me is the etiquette system of the people. The princes and generals do not need the etiquette system. The rules are also the rules of the people. The princes and generals do not need the rules. It is the greatest injustice."

"You can't help but feel a little confused from poverty to power and wealth. I grew up in a wealthy family, but I know this well."

This chapter is a bit difficult to write, so I rested yesterday to clear my mind.

Although this chapter is talking about Wang Wanzhi, it is actually laying the groundwork for Xie Fu's transformation. Someone's blood is still flowing in his body, and the Xie family's Confucianism has always been something that has bound him.
