If I am not a Confucian saint, I will set off a revolution

Chapter 103 The Yasheng Family
"you you……"

Hearing this, Meng Xuesi's servant, his smiling expression changed.

There was an uproar all around.

"He... what did he just say?"

"Mr. Lin Ke, you must have made a mistake just now, didn't you?!"

"The Holy Emperor, Lin Ke is actually questioning!"

"That's what Mencius said!"

The onlookers exclaimed one by one, apparently startled by what Lin Ke said.

They didn't pay attention to what Lin Ke said later, and they were already frightened when they heard what Lin Ke said earlier.

Lin Ke, actually questioning the Holy Way? !
Mencius, a dignified Confucian and Taoist eighth level sub-sage existence.

People have said that the will needs to be tempered by suffering, and the spirit needs to be baptized by suffering.

Even Meng Xuesi's assistant minister was stunned and speechless.

Lin Ke shook his head when he saw this, and reminded again: "I said, suffering is not worth singing about. What we want to sing about is the strong man who has gone through suffering without changing his mind."

"Mencius' way is correct, but he ignores the role of human beings in suffering."

"It is man's own will that saves himself, not suffering saves man!"

"In today's world, or in the past and present, how many people are tortured by suffering? How many are the ultimate achievers?"

"Mencius said: Shun was raised among the peasants, Fu Shuo was raised among the boards, Jiaoge was raised among the fish and salt, Guan Yiwu was raised among the scholars, Sun Shuao was raised among the sea, and Baili Xi was raised among the city."

"However, why is there only Shunfa among the farms? Why is there only Fu Shuoju among the buildings? Including fish, salt, scholars, seas, and cities... How many living beings are there in the world? Why are only a few people rising?"

"Since we want to sing praises of suffering, why do we still need to give the people a peaceful life? Why do we need to unify the world? Wouldn't it be better to have wars and chaos, people living in dire straits, and mourning everywhere?"

Speaking of this, Lin Ke concluded again: "So, suffering is not worth singing about!"

This is also the thinking of later generations.

The rise and success of many people are not due to suffering, but the education, environmental influence, happiness and love they received before suffering.

Those are the core factors that really make people survive the suffering and rise.

As for Mencius...

Lin Ke's concept has always been very clear.

Not only the best, not only the book, but only the truth.

The reason why sages are also sages is because of their contributions, or because of their moral character, or because of their ideology and so on.

However, this by no means means that what they say is correct, nor does it mean that what they grasp is the truth.

If Lin Ke didn't dare to question him because he was Mencius, then there would be no progress in this world.

Therefore, although what Mencius said is reasonable, there are also problems.

And this kind of problem is precisely the limitation of the predecessors.

Mencius's statement of "being born in sorrow and dying in peace" is more of an experience summary based on what has happened, and there is a slight error in the analysis of it.

You can't deny the cognition of the sages because of their limitations, but you can't think that they are not wrong at all just because he is a sage, and defend them in every possible way.

Of course, this kind of thinking is not shared by everyone.

Especially in today's era like the Great Wei Dynasty, foolish people are everywhere.

Although not stupid enough to believe in astrology, it is still easy to have blind obedience and superstition.

For example, at this time, everyone in the audience was shocked by him.

Even many great powers in the capital were frightened.

"This kid, what is he talking about?!"

"That's the words of a sage at the sub-sage level!"

"He is denying Mencius' holy way?!"

"No, it's not a complete denial. It may be a supplement to Mencius' holy way."

"Is he going to start the battle for the holy way?"

"Impossible, before reaching the fifth level of great Confucianism, I can't even bear the coercion of the holy way, even the fourth level of scholarly life!"

"I don't know what Meng Sheng's family thinks."

"Have a good day, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

"That's not true, it's because he is the arrogance of heaven that he can do what others can't."

Those thoughts were discussed one by one, with all kinds of emotions.

At this moment, a powerful idea appeared in the field.

"Little friend, why do you say that the words of our ancestors are wrong?"

coming!

The Yasheng family - the Meng family!
In the pre-Qin period, Mencius fought alone against the monarchs of many countries, reciting the world-shaking voice, and few monarchs could stop him under verbal criticism.

Coupled with the appreciation of Confucius, Mencius made great progress all the way, and was promoted to the eighth realm of Confucianism and Taoism-the realm of sub-sage.

Confucius made benevolence, Mencius took righteousness!
Where righteousness comes, there will be no regrets in nine deaths!

But the voice that appeared on the field at this time was full of gentleness.

"This elder, I am not denying the way of Mencius." At this time, Lin Ke bowed to the void and said loudly, "My words are only to supplement the way of Mencius."

"As Xunzi said, the deeds of heaven are permanent, and if they do not survive for Yao, they will not perish for Jie."

"I think that although Mencius is a sub-sage, he is not infallible everywhere, even if he is a sage like Confucius..."

"It's not eternal!"

As soon as he said a word, he was shocked!
However, Lin Ke's eyes are firm, and this kind of firmness also represents the firmness of his thoughts.

As long as there is a human being, there is no perfect existence.

Although he can't compare with Confucius, Mencius and other sages, he can't even compare with one ten thousandth.

But he stood on the shoulders of great men!
Real knowledge from practice!
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth!

Not only the best, not only the book, only the truth!

This is also the view and thinking of many people in later generations.

You said that you have to go through hardships to succeed, and the result is that there are pigs on the wind everywhere.

You said that you have to start from the very beginning to be successful, but how many people are there in the true sense of the word?

You said that you have to work hard to be successful. In that case, the most successful people should be mine workers, sweeping and cleaning, and moving bricks on construction sites.

Therefore, whether the words of the sages are wrong or only applicable to the present age, they are not the truth.

It's a pity that Lin Ke can think this way, but the people here are not necessarily.

Most of them, in fact, have solidified their thinking.

"So crazy! So proud! I like it so much!"

"Yes! How dare you say that in front of Meng Sheng's family, Mr. Lin Ke will impress the world no matter whether he lives or dies after today!"

"And I think what Mr. Lin Ke said actually has some truth..."

"I don't know what Meng Sheng's family thinks, they won't do it directly, right?"

"With the reckless personality of those men surnamed Meng, it's very possible."

Most of the people around were watching the fun, but there were also people who helped Lin Ke.

"The way of Mencius is never afraid of doubts. I think Lin Ke's meaning should be good."

It's Dean Fang Yun who just spoke to them!
That group of teachers had just finished accepting apprentices, and now they jumped out to defend their apprentices.

"Yes, yes! I heard that Mencius likes aggressive students the most!"

"That's right! Besides, Mencius' name is Ke, and Lin Ke's name is Ke. They both have the same pronunciation. What a fate!"

"That's right! I used to admire Mencius the most in Longyang Academy!"

"Secondary! We like it too! It's because Mencius is a great virtuous man, and he doesn't embarrass the weak."

Seeing the teachers jumping out one by one, Lin Ke felt that the scene was very funny, but at the same time he felt warm in his heart.

How nice the masters are!

It seems that in the future we will have to learn more from teachers.
