When I become a demon king, I want to change my department to the Taoist sect.

Chapter 589 Debate

"There are two countries in the far west. One has an orderly hierarchy of superiority and inferiority. The virtuous live in temples and temples. They always govern the country according to ethical principles. The superiors do not cross the boundaries and the inferiors do not violate the rules. The superiors are of the same mind. They remain unchanged for eternity. If the superiors have no wisdom, , others will take their place. If there is a virtuous person below, you can also step into a higher position. Contribution will be considered as a measure. The capable ones will go up and the fools will go down. In such an orderly manner, even if there are changes internally and there are enemies externally, there is no need to worry. The sky is in danger, if the temple is the foundation, and the trees are the branches, and the trunk is strong but the branches are weak, the country will definitely have the appearance of towering to the sky. The so-called peace and prosperity of the country and the people, and the prosperous times are nothing more than this!"

"But in another country, the people do not serve the people, the king does not serve the king, there is no reverence in the heart, no morals and no morality, and the one with strong soldiers and horses is in the upper position. If the fortune of one day does not reach three hundred, the world will change, the people will be fearless, and the sky will be overthrown. In this way, the king has no permanent virtue, and the people are uneasy. There will be three changes in the day and night, and the king will make changes. The former is named jade, and the latter is named xuan. Which country is more prosperous?"

Tang Yuan looked Mr. Li San up and down and said with a smile, "This is an interesting debate. I wonder which side you would choose?"

Mr. Li San's face did not change, and he said seriously: "Of course I belong to the Jade Kingdom, but if you also believe that the Jade Kingdom is right, I can also defend the Xuan Kingdom."

Tang Yuan smiled meaningfully and said: "It doesn't matter. I prefer Xuan Kingdom, so this is just right."

Young Master Li San nodded and said: "In this case, your Majesty and I each have the opportunity to ask three questions. If the enemy is weak and unable to defend himself, he will suffer the consequences. Do you think it is feasible?"

These aristocratic families have been inherited for tens of millions of years. They have even developed from a planet to this point. The history is so long that it is impressive. The uninterrupted history brings unparalleled pride. Therefore, the disciples of the aristocratic families When communicating formally, it has an ancient meaning.

"Fairy, please come first."

Tang Yuan nodded slightly, without being polite, and asked directly: "A virtuous person lives high in the temple. Who can judge these virtuous people? Is it their blood relatives or close friends? How can such a family be counted?" The bloodline selects virtuous people. If the virtuous people are less than ten, their names will exceed a hundred. And this is the result of being supported by the world. How can such a mediocre person lead the country to prosperity?"

Mr. Li Sanggong retorted: "A virtuous person is not limited to one family and one surname. How can it be wrong to choose one virtuous person among hundreds of tribes? A virtuous person lives high in the temple and does not need to do everything himself. Everything below him has his own destiny. Under such a system, where the clans govern each other, those with great talents and strategies can move forward bravely, and even those with unknown reputations can maintain the situation and avoid collapse. If the throne is taken by the strong, wouldn't the Immortal Seat hear the favor? There is only one person, and all major events depend on one hand, and the danger is also there. If the power is not controlled, the world will be in trouble!"

It has to be said that Mr. Li San's remarks are relatively rigorous. The so-called holy king rules from the top of the arch and performs his duties, then the world will be peaceful. This is also a Taoist idea that was very popular in the past.

It was also under the guidance of such thoughts that the Jade Emperor's Heavenly Court was established.

Tang Yuan was really interested in this, and asked again: "When people have desires, they want to change. They control the world, and it will remain unchanged forever. How can a knowledgeable person be willing to live under others, like a group of people?" How can the world be peaceful if the virtuous are in the wilderness? How can the country live in peace? If hundreds of tribes join forces to control the world, they will surely arouse public anger. With such discord among the people and chaos in the world, how can you talk about good governance?"

Liu Sangongzi retorted: "Are there any sages in the wild? The system of the Jade Kingdom will not reject the great sages, but will absorb them and provide them with a place to use themselves. The so-called great sages are good ministers who govern the world and heroes in troubled times. The Jade Kingdom only He will use his talents to save the world and help the people, but if there is no jade country and good ministers are easy to be tyrannical, there will be wars and wars, and the people will still suffer."

Tang Yuan also became serious, and said in a righteousness: "Since it is reasonable, he chose to ignore the facts and be a traitor with his own generation? , I have no determination to die as a martyr, I don’t want to replace the sun and the moon, or recreate the stars. I know it is wrong, but I only dare to be a paper framer and sew and mend. How can I be worthy of the title of virtuous person?"

"The system of our Jade Kingdom seems to give the lower-class leaders of Guizhou a way to make progress, but in fact it is just alienating people, using the etiquette of the world, wasting their talents, and turning dragons into insects. Is this the right way?"

Liu Sangongzi pondered for a moment and then said: "The debate between dragons and insects is just a matter of family opinion. What is a dragon? It can be big or small. It can rise and disappear. If it is big, it can stir up clouds and spit out mist. If it is small, it can hide and hide. If it rises, it can fly in the universe. In between, the hidden ones are lurking in the waves. If a group of dragons compete for supremacy, the fish and shrimps will suffer. I don’t want to sacrifice the lives of thousands of people to achieve the name of a few real dragons!"

Tang Yuan nodded with a smile, as if he still agreed with it, and said: "I have finished my three questions, it's your turn."

Liu Sangongzi looked serious and asked without thinking: "The human heart is like a prison, human desires are like demons, and the heart is like a nest of desires. It is difficult to fill the gap. If it is not restricted by etiquette and law, people in the world will definitely replace the heavenly heart with their own desires. Weak If you don’t strengthen yourself, if you are strong but don’t show mercy to the weak, and if you act unethically, the world will be in chaos!”

Tang Yuan immediately retorted: "Man wants to move, and this is the law of nature. If you want to survive, you will advance, if you want to die, you will die out. If no one wants it, the world will be nothing more than a pool of stagnant water. How are you and me different from grass, trees, gold and stone? All changes in the world are caused by Human desire arises, and change leads to chaos. However, great chaos must be followed by great governance. Therefore, our race has made progress step by step until it controls the world. How can we deny the great benefit of desire because of the small disadvantages of desire? How can it be the right way to remain steadfast and self-proclaimed? "

Liu Sangong refuted seriously: "Such a change is too desperate. To govern a big country is like prospering a small country. How can we burn it with fire? The prudent strategy should be planned slowly. Zhu Li's wishes will be accumulated over time." As a river, those of us who live in temples should dredge the river to curb the chaos, rather than allowing it to riot and make the world swamp the country. This is the golden mean. The change in the head of Guizhou was unsystematic and was nothing but a disaster. , how can we praise it?"

Tang Yuan replied calmly: "Prudent words are just weakness, not moderation. Moderation is virtue. It has come to pass. People have been around for a long time. Moderation begins with destiny, which is called nature, and straightforwardness is called Tao. The cultivation of Tao It is called teaching, and it finally reaches heaven. It is silent and odorless. The golden mean is the way of heaven, and the way of heaven is eternal. If it falls into the way of humanity, then the way of humanity will change."

"The golden mean is also the way of change. If you follow human desires and follow the natural principles, you will be golden mean. Therefore, my thinking is golden mean. Your rebuttal is nothing more than weak capitulationism."

Young Master Liu frowned tightly, and finally asked: "If according to what Immortal Zuo said, human beings are driven by desire, and desire is the inner demon, then wouldn't it mean that in this world, everyone is like a demon, and the world has become a ghost in the world? If you are in danger, where is the truth and goodness at that time, and where can the great road exist?"

Tang Yuan put his palms in his hands and laughed and said: "It is indeed as you said, human desires are like demons, but if everyone is like demons, then there will be no demons in the world, and everyone will be like dragons!"
