Since the auction of the elixir in the Qin Dynasty, the first emperor has gone crazy!

Chapter 153 Saints Playing Chess, Confucianism, Taoism, Heaven and Man!Who can bear the ambition of a saint?
The old man in the light curtain looks old.

But the eyes are piercing, and the whole person is radiant!
The sky of Kyushu is hidden in the star eyes!

The holy rhyme is spontaneously revealed between every gesture!

"It's really him?! Confucius, the sage of Confucianism!"

See what this person looks like.

Fu Nian and Yan Lu stood up almost at the same time!

Confucius is the founder of Confucianism.

Travel to the seven countries, save the world with thoughts, and create a school of Confucianism!
They are disciples of Confucianism.

Naturally, there is incomparable respect for this patriarch!
Now that I am honored to see his honor, I am so excited that I don't know what to say!
"Is this the Confucian sage, Confucius?"

Li Si was in a pilgrimage mood, regardless of being in Xiangguo's box.

Even in front of Lu Buwei, he kowtowed and bowed three times to the appearance of Confucius!
"Li Si, this boy, knows etiquette very well! He is a malleable talent!"

Lu Buwei stroked his long beard, very satisfied with Li Si's etiquette.

It doesn't matter whether Li Si is putting on a show or not.

His kindness made Lu Buwei greatly appreciate it!

Li Si treated his teacher like this.

For his boss, I'm afraid it won't be too bad!
In Lu Buwei's heart, he had the idea of ​​using Li Si!

Inside the open box.

Zhang Liang stared at the figure of the stalwart old man in the light curtain.

He bowed respectfully.

Although he is not a formal disciple of Confucianism.

However, he was deeply influenced by the Confucian culture of his grandfather Zhang Kaidi!

He has always admired Confucianism very much.

It can be regarded as half a Confucian disciple!
The old man in the light curtain picked up a black chess piece.

After thinking for a moment, he finally dropped the chess piece heavily!

"despair!"

Those with sharp eyes can immediately spot the chess pieces used by Confucius.

It was the black pawn displayed by the auction house!
"It turned out to be a relic of Confucius!"

"No wonder the aura of grandeur in the chess pieces lasts forever! It lasts for a long time! It turns out to be the aura of grandeur of Confucius!"

The crowd suddenly stunned.

Only then did I understand the origin of the awe-inspiring aura among the chess pieces!

But immediately, someone exclaimed.

"The person who played chess with Kong Sheng turned out to be Lao Tzu of Taoism?!"

Hear the man's voice.

People look around.

On the other side of the chessboard, there is indeed a pair of equally old hands.

Playing with the white pieces!
And this person is the most holy Taoist Lao Tzu!

A disciple of the two sects of Taoism, Heaven and Man.

Immediately in awe!

"The game between the most holy of Taoism and the most holy of Confucianism is really a rare spectacle!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this game is a debate between the way of man and the way of heaven!"

Lu Buwei is also very familiar with the allusions of Confucius and Laozi.

Immediately, his interest was high, and he stared closely at the two people in the light curtain.

Looking forward to the next game between the two!

It's just that the heart of the two people is not playing chess.

And among the kings and the people of the world!

Lao Tzu dropped his son and asked:
"I heard that you like Zhou Li, why?"

Confucius came prepared and immediately replied:
"Because when the Duke of Zhou implemented the Zhou Rites, the world was peaceful and prosperous. This was a peace and prosperity that had never been seen in the Xia Dynasty or the Shang Dynasty. Today, the world is in turmoil and the subjects and people are suffering. reason."

"I love Zhou Li, and I will do my best to restore Zhou Li. Confucius believes that only Zhou Li can stop the turmoil and restore peace to the world. Confucius firmly believes in this."

Lao Tzu shook his head with a smile:

"I was very, very polite in the past, but then I changed. Can the water of a great river flow backwards? The water of a great river cannot flow backwards. You can only follow the flow direction determined by nature."

The chess pieces in Confucius' hands hesitated a little and could not be dropped:
"In your opinion, Zhou Li cannot stop the turmoil?"

Lao Tzu smiled slightly and said:

"Yes. Turbulence comes from people's hearts, and people's hearts are unpredictable. The reason why the world's turmoil comes and goes, and it has been repeatedly prohibited, just shows that the cessation of turmoil is difficult for human beings to understand."

"Zhou Ritual, as the law of human life, may be useful for a period of time, but with the passage of the stars and the transformation of the sun and the moon, it will eventually lose its effectiveness. Because human beings will feel more and more clearly that the so-called living The greatest joy lies in being unrestrained, letting nature take its course, doing whatever you want."

"The rituals of Zhou restrain people's nature, making people at a loss, like a bird in a cage. Sooner or later, people will gradually realize from the natural changes of life and death that since they live between heaven and earth, they should take heaven, earth and the universe as their core." The law of survival. Why artificially formulate redundant rituals that go against nature and kill humanity?"

"Therefore, the principle is derived that human existence should be governed by the earth, and the earth is governed by the sky, the heaven is governed by the Tao, and the law is governed by nature."

"In the final analysis, everything should follow nature. The water of the irreversible river is a strong proof."

"Kings fight for the world, princes fight for territory, great officials fight for power, people fight for status, and common people fight for food and clothing. Although the fights are different, they are all for selfish desires. "

"The disputes between kings, princes, and great officials lead to turmoil in the world, and the disputes among the people in the world make people's hearts turn evil. Selfish desires are the root of all evils. Only with contentment and few desires can there be no disputes, and there will be no chaos and no evil in the world without disputes."

"In ancient times, when the world was first opened, a small country with few people, and the people lived next to each other, but they could hear the voices of chickens and dogs, never communicate with each other when they died, and the world was peaceful and peaceful. That is a beautiful society."

Confucius had already thought about it at this time, and dropped the chess pieces in his hand heavily, saying:

"As for whether to fight or not to fight, I think differently. If King Wen and King Wu didn't fight for the world of King Zhou, the subjects and people would still struggle under the tyranny; If a learned and talented doctor can become the country's minister through correct struggle, the country will be strong and prosperous."

"Similarly, people of insight can do more things for the country through correct struggle and step into official career. As long as their respective struggles are reasonable, there will be no turmoil in the world."

"The source of the turmoil in today's world is not the contention of each other, but the contention of the unreasonable. People's hearts have become evil because of the lack of ritual, music, teaching and repentance. It is impossible for people to have no selfish desires, and it is difficult to achieve few desires. What can be achieved It is to restrain selfish desires and make words and deeds conform to reason."

"Although the rites of Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties were all made by sages and sages, they are not better than the ancient ones. I agree with Zhou rites because they are most suitable for governing the world today. It is not only good for a small country with few people. What Confucius yearned for Our society is both peaceful and prosperous, not quiet and inactive.”

Lao Tzu glanced at the black and white chess pieces that had covered the chessboard, and smiled faintly:
"Where there is land, there is heaven. Where there is yin, there is yang. Where there is Laozi, there is also Confucius. If you and I continue to fight, there will be no results. We can only follow our own paths."

This game.

There is no winner between Confucianism and Taoism.

The disciples of Confucianism and Taoism also heaved a sigh of relief.

The grandmaster of either side loses the game.

The impact on their descendants will be extremely serious!

Obviously it is a game between the ancestors.

But let them these juniors fear!
"Confucius, you travel around the world, what is your ambition?"

Lao Tzu ignored the chess game that had already been drawn.

He looked at Confucius calmly.

Confucius smiled faintly, as if he had seen through the secrets.

He turned his head to look at the many Confucian disciples outside the light curtain!
Those pair of star eyes seem to have traveled through the long river of time.

Look straight into the heart of every Confucian disciple!
