Zongwu: A hundred-year-old Confucian saint was exposed, shocking the master

Chapter 16 The chess game separated by thousands of years will break your three cardinal principles and five constant principles!

"Writing a book can lead to a fight."

"It's quite domineering, Confucian sage."

Originally, halfway through writing, Chen Mu was forcibly interrupted, and Chen Mu was already aroused into anger.

Now, the domineering incarnation of Kong Sheng uses various Confucian and Taoist rules as weapons to attack Chen Mu on a spiritual level.

This disgusted him even more.

The so-called plan to fight against the army is to kill and punish the heart.

If he loses, he will be devastated from now on, and his Dao heart will collapse.

Therefore, Chen Mu cannot be defeated.

"Hmph, since that's the case, then don't blame me for being rude."

The oppression of Kong Sheng's incarnation also instantly aroused Chen Mu's fighting spirit.So, he sorted out his thoughts, took a deep breath, and swiped the golden pen in his right hand...

Golden characters appeared in the air one by one.

Those characters are arranged and combined in the air, like a formation of troops, majestic and murderous.

Facing the impenetrable siege of the incarnation of the Confucian saints of Confucianism, a strong fighting spirit broke out.

For a while, the two sides seemed to be evenly matched.

However, this is not the case.

The incarnation of the Confucian sage of Confucianism is, after all, just the incarnation of the Dao left by the Confucian sage in the world, but Chen Mu is supported by him, a true Confucian sage.

The incarnation of will can only be regarded as a false god at most, how can it compare with the real person Chen Mu?
Besides, even if Kong Sheng is still talking, Chen Mu will not be afraid of him in the competition on the spiritual level alone.

Because the strength of the Tao of Heaven and the human heart does not lie in cultivation, but in the hearts of the people.

The so-called those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

The battle of luck is not as simple as a battle of force.

Often in many dynastic battles, one wins by force, but loses luck. The key is to look at the way of heaven and the heart.

The heart of the people is the heart of heaven.

Back then, Kong Sheng made the rules, which won the hearts of the people.

But this moment is not that moment.

Today, the rules that benefited all living beings in the past have now become the shackles of all living beings.

"Xinsheng, human beings are born in barbarism, do you know that the establishment of civilization is not easy?"

"The three cardinal guides and the five permanent principles cannot be abolished. As a new sage of Confucianism, don't you know that you have broken the rules and denied the evil results of the sage?"

Originally, all the disciples of the Academy thought that the incarnation of Confucian saints could not speak.

However, the incarnation of the Confucian sage spoke.

It seems that he can't suppress the saint of the academy in terms of strength, so he began to attack the saint of the academy with benevolence, righteousness and morality.

However, the disciples of the academy could not refute the truth spoken by the sage of Confucianism after hearing it.

Because people are indeed standing on the commanding heights of morality.

Therefore, the disciples of the academy all turned their attention to the saints of the academy, to see how their own saints would fight back.

"Despicable, I can't suppress the new sage of my academy, so I stand on the commanding heights of morality and kidnap newcomers with morality."

Nangong Pushe, who had been baptized by Chen Mu in the Celestial Realm, although he was not sure to refute Kong Sheng, could see through his intentions at a glance.

"However, the more Kong Sheng is like this, the more he proves that he can't do anything to Xin Sheng."

"If you win the fight, who will be reasonable and talk nonsense?"

When the disciples around her heard it, they immediately understood:

"Sister Nangong said yes."

"The Confucian sages were helpless, so they scolded them."

"Despicable, isn't this relying on the old to sell the old?"

"However, the Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Constant Principles cannot be discarded. This point is really difficult to decipher."

"Oh, don't worry, we can't break it, but it doesn't mean that the new saint of my academy can't break it, it will definitely be possible."

"The new saint is Senior Brother Master, when did Master ever tell a lie?"

"Master said that our sage will not lose, then we will definitely not lose!"

Chen Mu in the Zangshu Pavilion sensed the words and deeds of everyone in the academy, and Gu Jing's calm heart couldn't help being a little moved. Even a saint needs someone to believe in.

The support of all living beings will invisibly become the sage's growth accumulation, otherwise why would the sage establish a great religion?
Why do you want to write a book, why do you want to educate the world?

Isn't it for the belief of all living beings?
Those in power say that those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

The person in charge has to put it another way, that is, those who win the hearts of the people get luck.

In today's match, what Chen Mu and Kong Sheng are fighting for is not the tangible world, but the invisible luck.

Therefore, facing the questioning by the incarnation of the Confucian sages of Confucianism, Chen Mu could not retreat no matter how indifferent he was to the world.

"Kong Sheng, I'm afraid you have forgotten what the original intention of the establishment of the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Permanent Principles is." Chen Mu's counterattack began, and he was not in a hurry.

The three cardinal principles are: the ruler guides his ministers, the father guides his son, and the husband guides his wife;
The five constants refer to: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith.

The benefits of the three cardinal principles and five constant principles of human relations are that they can regulate the behavior of all living beings, so that the society has laws to follow, and when there is order, it will naturally be stable.

However, there are also many disadvantages.

This set of rules, in Chen Mu's view, is the shackles used by the ruling class to restrain the subordinates.

Properly, it is a set of policies to fool the people, which is purely ideological control, to prevent the people from committing chaos after awakening.

"Of course I haven't forgotten."

"Xinsheng, the three cardinal guides and the five permanent principles, standardize the relationship between loyalty and filial piety, the elders and the younger ones of the monarch and ministers, so that the world has laws to follow and rules to follow."

"In this way, the state owns the state's laws, and the family has its own rules."

"If there are no rules, how can there be a square?"

"How can a country be governed without laws?"

"If there is no benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust, how can we regulate human relations and neighbors?"

The incarnation of Kong Sheng uttered golden words, and the words were followed by the law, and the words were straight and strict.

Even if other people deliberately refute, they still suffer from being unreasonable and unfounded.

"Confucius, I do not deny the usefulness of the Five Cardinal Principles and the Five Constant Principles. The original intention of the establishment of the so-called Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Constant Principles is for the stability of the world."

"Really?"

"Correct."

"However, as a saint, speaking from your heart, don't you understand the disadvantages of these benevolence, righteousness and morality?" When Chen Mu said this, Kong Sheng remained silent.

Chen Mu originally thought that Kong Sheng would refute, after all, he could easily find out the fallacies of rebuttals.

This proves that Kong Sheng himself knew the disadvantages of these rules.

"Confucius, let's talk about [the ruler guides the ministers] first, according to this rule: since ancient times, the ruler has a life and the ministers have to accept it, and the ruler wants the ministers to die, but the ministers have to die."

"Since ancient times, using this rule, how many loyal ministers have the king killed?"

"It is precisely because of this that the king can kill people openly and squarely based on his own likes and dislikes."

"It's okay if you're wise, but if you're stupid, then you're loyal to the emperor, you're foolish and loyal, there's a lot of harm and no benefit."

"Therefore, the ruler is the guide for the ministers, and the ministers have to die if the ruler wants the ministers to die. It is purely to help the evildoers!"

When Chen Mu's reasoning is explained, people are amazed and happy to hear it.

"well said!"

"Actually, I have long felt that there is something wrong with this one, but I dare not think about it."

"So that's the case. I also think it's too cruel for a king to have to die."

"That's right, it's too rude. If you meet a loyal minister and a foolish emperor, wouldn't you die in vain?"

……

The incarnation of Kong Sheng sighed softly.

"Xinsheng, although what you said is also reasonable, but a snake can't live without a head, a country can't live without a king, and a family can't live without a master."

He didn't actually refute directly, but just continued to hold on with his sword swaying.

This also proved Chen Mu's guess from the side - it seems that Kong Sheng also knew the disadvantages of this set of rules.

It's just that he set up that set of rules, and he has his own selfishness, so I won't say anything about it.

In fact, rebuttals are useless.

Because what Chen Mu said was the truth.

Facts speak louder than words.

"Kong Sheng, although there is some truth in your words, please forgive me for not agreeing."

"It's easy to say, if a group of dragons have no leader, the world will be prosperous."

"Do princes and generals care about each other?"

"Everyone is a dragon, everyone is a king, everyone is the master of the family, without being oppressed by the king and generals, wouldn't it be more peaceful in the world, wouldn't it be more peaceful to live and work in peace?"

Chen Mu's words were really unheard of by everyone in the academy, and he said it at this time, it was really deviant.

Kong Sheng defended the way, but he betrayed the way.

However, the strange thing is that after hearing this, all the disciples of the academy supported him in their hearts.

And some disciples whose cultivation has stagnated for a long time, after hearing this truth, there are faint signs of a breakthrough in the realm...

One can imagine how shocking it was.

"Xinsheng, if the dragons have no leader, there will be chaos in the world, and it will do all harm to the people without any benefit."

"Kong Sheng, your reasoning can only scare away some timid people." Chen Mu snorted coldly, "In fact, chaos can only be cured, and only chaos can be established."

"People, you can't compromise with the faint king just because you are afraid of chaos in the world."

"Therefore [the ruler guides the ministers] is only beneficial to the ruler, not to the ministers or to the people. The heart of the people is the heart of heaven. Therefore, this article is not advisable."

This one was broken by Chen Mu just like that.

All the people present, from the master to the disciples, were all admiring.

Xin said, my (senior brother) sage is really powerful.

"Similarly, [Father guides children], [Husband guides wives] also depends on the situation."

"If the father is not benevolent and the father is unrighteous, then the father is the guide for the son and the husband is the guide for the wife, and it is also helping the tyrant to abuse, doing all kinds of harm and no benefit."

Regarding this, Kong Sheng was silent.

It may also be because of the disadvantages, which he himself knows very well.

Just keep silent.

"Xinsheng, even if that's the case, you can't say [Saints are immortal and thieves are more than one], benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith cannot be abolished, and saints cannot be humiliated."

"When a saint is humiliated, morality will be lost."

"If benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust are abolished, there will be no integrity in the world."

"At that time, people's hearts will not be old, and the world will be in chaos. It will be too late for you to regret it."

This time, Kong Sheng changed his benevolent face and took the world as his own responsibility, using this to accuse Chen Mu of being deviant and apostate.

In this regard, Chen Mu laughed:
"Kong Sheng, you and I understand the truth, the fight is only for our own selfishness."

"As for your question..."

"Look at the pen..."

At this point, Chen Mu didn't need to say anything more.

Because those who rely on rules to fool the hearts of the people will eventually be cast aside by the people.

Those who win the hearts of the people will eventually win the world.

He continued to write, and golden characters appeared in the air...

The article composed of individual characters happened to be in response to Kong Sheng's question just now.

"Being virtuous is not virtuous, so there is virtuousness."

"Being virtuous does not lose virtue, so there is no virtue."

"The highest virtues do nothing without thinking, and the lower virtues do what they think."

"For the sake of benevolence, there is no thought, for the righteousness, there is thought, for the courtesy, if you don't respond, you throw it away."

"Thus, when one loses morality one gains virtue, one loses virtue one gains benevolence, one loses benevolence one gains righteousness, one loses righteousness one gains propriety."

"He who is a husband is the leader of loyalty and trustworthiness."

"For those who know before, the brilliance of Tao is the beginning of ignorance."

"That's why a man treats his thick, not his thin, and his true nature, not his grandeur."

"Therefore go and take this."

So far, the benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust that Confucius said were completely destroyed by Chen Mu.
