A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1,679 Cheng Hao goes to jail

Bao Shou felt bored at home, with no one to play with.

But the Shen family is different.

In the Shen family, there is sister, taro, and even Wen Xiaozhong.

So he ran to Shen's house as soon as he had time.

He walked around Shen's house with the taro. When he got tired, he sat on the steps behind the house, resting his chin on his hands, watching the sun shine through the branches and leaves on the roof.

Taro also wanted to imitate him, so the two children put their chins in their hands and looked at the world quietly in the afternoon.

"...There should be heavenly principles in the world, the distinction between superior and inferior, the meaning of honor and inferiority, the proper principles, and the foundation of etiquette." "

"The king, his ministers, his father and his son are the laws of the world. Nothing can escape between heaven and earth."

"Greed leads to ambition. This is the root cause of the rebellion of the warriors. We must adhere to the laws of nature and destroy human desires!"

Bao Shou listened half-understanding, but seeing Taro's confused face, he explained: "This means that sons must listen to me, and ministers must listen to officials. Anyone who refuses to listen has no sense of heaven, and is human desire... destroying human desire." What do you mean? Well... no desires allowed?"

Cheng Hao's voice came, "Greed and anger are desires, lustful thoughts are desires, and all disturbances caused by selfishness are desires and should be eliminated!"

Bao Shou's face turned red, "It turned out that I was talking about desires that I shouldn't have! But I said it wrong."

"But after you've been talking for so long, I just asked, if people don't have these greed and hatred, what would they be?"

Shen An's voice sounded very calm, "Life is born with struggle, and human desires are never-ending. Just like why do you study? Let alone to understand the truth? Why do you become an official? Don't say that it is to satisfy your hunger... …

I agree with what you mentioned, but I think these are all false and empty. "

"Why is it fake?" Cheng Hao was obviously a little angry.

"People live by eating, drinking, and eating pork. Why eat pork when you can eat mutton? Why marry a faceless woman when you can marry a beautiful wife? Is this an act of lust? If not, then should you marry an ugly woman? It's so easy It can suppress people’s lustful thoughts...but if so, it’s just a cover-up!”

Bao Shou shook his head and said: "Brother, that's right, taro, I asked you, are you willing to not eat meat every day?"

Taro shook his head, "No."

"This world is full of disputes, as small as one person or as large as a country. How can desires be extinguished under disputes? Everyone in the world wants to make progress. Some people follow the rules, while others use unscrupulous means. Even the Prime Minister of Han will roar at the officials... People We all have desires, which is as normal as eating and drinking. You said you should eliminate all desires that you shouldn’t have, how to eliminate them? Rely on a set of theories? Brother..."

"No, Shen Longtu, I don't dare to do this."

Shen An inside suddenly bowed, and Cheng Hao quickly avoided it.

Shen An smiled bitterly and said: "What's the use of doing these things? Even if you do it, everyone in the Song Dynasty understands this truth, but who will abide by it? Come on, tell Shen, who will abide by this principle? set?"

The so-called elimination of human desires does not mean turning people into Bodhisattvas. What is eliminated is the desire that should not be had, such as lust, greed, or ambition...

Who listens to you?

Human beings have desires, just like eating and drinking.

"You use yourself as a mold and try to fit everyone into it. Have you drunk too much?"

"Your tricks will only become a mask for some people in the end. They think they have become gentlemen after learning your tricks, and they use them to cover up their dirty thoughts..."

This method became popular for a while, but the students taught by it were not very gentlemen.

"Greed and anger are already there, but you just need to know how to control them. You use doctrine to guide you. It's a good idea. But in Shen's view, the so-called scholarly guidance must also start from the law, educate with knowledge, and use The law limits the overflow of human greed...limits human greed within a certain range."

Cheng Hao sneered: "You are inherently evil in human nature."

"Isn't it right that human nature is inherently evil?" Shen An frowned and said, "Human nature is like this. You have to think of everyone as a Bodhisattva. People want to eat, drink, have sex, and reproduce. These are basic greed and instincts. As long as These greeds and instincts are there, and the so-called desire to destroy others is a false and empty statement."

"You talk about the laws of nature, you talk about the king, his ministers and his son, so I ask you, if there are dozens or hundreds of women in the king's harem, is this an evil thought? Is this an evil thought when the ministers are bent on pursuing their own interests?"

Cheng Hao looked pale, "Yes. No, the king is for inheritance..."

Damn it!

Shen An really wanted to open his brain and see what was inside, "The king only had a harem for inheritance?

"Is it an evil thought for a minister to be in the camp?"

Shen An advanced step by step.

Cheng Hao shook his head, "No."

"Why not?" Shen An smiled and said: "Why do they want to be promoted? Don't say that they want to be promoted just for the Song Dynasty and for His Majesty, otherwise someone will look down on you!"

Cheng Hao lowered his head.

He was suddenly introduced into another circle by Shen An and couldn't extricate himself.

"Someone wants to be promoted and make a fortune, someone wants to marry a beautiful woman, and have sex every night...this is someone's instinct! Remember, this is instinct, but you want to suppress these instincts. Bo Chun..."

Shen An said seriously: "This is impossible. The reason why people are human is because these greeds are unbreakable. If you want to use doctrine alone to guide and suppress human nature, it will be in vain. You must also add laws."

Cheng Hao felt a little groggy.

He returned to the martial arts school in a daze all the way, and fell down when he entered the check-in room.

He fell asleep on the table in a daze, his mind filled with ideas about the laws of nature and human desires.

"...I have a rest tomorrow, where should we go?"

"Let's go have a meal. Find a good place and have a good meal."

"There isn't much money left for a meal. How about... let's go directly to the brothel? To find a girl."

"Okay, let's think about which one to go to later."

Cheng Hao woke up immediately, his suppressed anger came up, and he shouted outside: "Who is outside?"

Two unlucky professors were caught, but Cheng Hao found himself speechless.

What could he say?

Not allowed to go to a brothel?

Many people come and go in brothels. You ask a few professors to behave themselves. This is hard to say!

In the end, he could only wave his hands, and the two professors ran away as if they were granted amnesty.

This is greed!

Both of them have wives, but they still want to play with women in a brothel.

This is desire that goes beyond basic human needs.

But can you suppress it?

Cheng Hao was thoughtful.

He was thinking.

The martial arts training was earth-shaking. Seven hundred students started running, making Cheng Hao feel like the earth was shaking.

He saw several locusts jumping around.

The locusts jumped onto the school field, and the students came rushing towards them from the left front.

A few locusts stood there watching stupidly, as seven hundred people rolled in, with seven hundred pairs of feet trampling over.

Cheng Hao thought these locusts were stupid.

They jumped among those big feet, trying to avoid the fate of being trampled to death, but when one escaped, the next one followed one after another.

No one paid attention to the few trampled locusts, only Cheng Hao, who was in a daze.

"What are the locusts doing there?" Cheng Hao was moved when he saw the clump of grass in the middle of the school field.

"They go there just to eat, but in the end they are destroyed by an unthinkable disaster."

This is greed, eating.

Should we have this greed?

It should.

"But can't you wait a moment?"

Cheng Hao gradually became a little stunned.

"But wait... They don't know that they will be trampled to death, so they are not afraid of people, so of course they won't wait."

"Those people who are full of crooked ideas, who are they afraid of?"

"Is it possible for such a person to guide?"

Cheng Hao suddenly walked towards Cao Yi, cupped his hands and said, "I am feeling uneasy and want to take a few days off."

Cao Yan looked at him and said seriously: "Old Cheng, don't play with An Bei, otherwise you will be confused by him. Also, I often hear you talk about greed and greed, I tell you, don't think about it If you go and get rid of these, that would be a joke."

"yes."

Cheng Hao went all the way to Kaifeng Fufu Yamen and found an acquaintance.

"I want to go to prison."

"Are you crazy?"

"X is not crazy, X just wants to see those prisoners and listen to their thoughts."

After several struggles, Cheng Hao finally got his wish and went to jail.

The natural conditions in the prison were unpredictable, so Cheng Hao was placed with two felons.

One of the two felons looked tough and cold, his name was Zhang Zhong. The other person looked very kind and his name was Lu Da.

Zhang Zhong came in because he committed murder, UU Reading www.uukanshu. net He was a gangster. In order to make money and grab territory, he started a war with a group of gangsters. One against ten, he killed five people and seriously injured three others.

Lu Da seemed kind-hearted, but he was actually an extremely cruel guy. After this man broke into the house and stole things, when his owner discovered it, he actually killed the owner's family with a knife.

"Bring me some water."

"Press someone's feet."

After a lot of trouble, Cheng Hao finally joined the gang.

Two felons who were destined to live a short life talked about their past all day long, while Cheng Hao stood leaning against the wall.

"Other people eat mutton, why can't you afford pork? Looking at the beauties in the brothel but having no money to go in, this world is unfair!" Zhang Zhong probably knew that he was going to die, so he spoke without restraint, "There are so many officials Why don’t you give some of your money to someone?”

Cheng Hao couldn't help it anymore and said: "All the official's money has been given to the court. If it were distributed to everyone in the world, no one would have much money."

Nowadays, among the poor officials, if their money is divided, no one in the world will get a penny.

"Why give it to those people? Wouldn't it be better to give it all to one person?"

"That's right." Lu Da said disdainfully: "I only care about eating enough for myself, and others care about shit."

Cheng Hao felt his mind buzzing as these words kept echoing.
