Confucianism is supreme? I am reciting Tang poems in another world!

Prince Liang put his hand on Ci Song's shoulder, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "Major General Ci looks more delicate, but he has a heroic look on his eyebrows, and he is really a general."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Ci Song said to Liang Wang again.

"There is no need to be restrained. The late king has a destiny. He belongs to the general's palace. There is no need to perform the courtesy of a monarch or a minister when entering the court. I and your uncle Ci know each other as brothers. The young general can just call me uncle." Liang Wang laughed. He said to Ci Song.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, your father, your son, your son, I dare not overstep my bounds, so it is best to call me the king." Ci Song replied calmly.

"The king, the king, the minister, the minister, the father, the son, the son? This sentence was said by Confucius. It is recorded in ancient books. Its original meaning is to respect the king and respect the Tao, and to respect the father and the filial piety. That is, the king is the king, the ministers are the ministers, the father is the father, and the son is the son. As sons, everyone performs his duties and performs his duties.”

"But now there is a new interpretation. This new interpretation is that the king is the guide for the ministers, the father is the guide for the son, and the husband is the guide for the wife. If the three principles are correct, the blessings of all peoples will be that a husband loves his wife as himself, which is really a deep love. Just like the three cardinal principles are corrected, not only you and I are very lucky, but all the people in the world are also very lucky. Ci Song, is what I said true?" King Liang looked into Ci Song's eyes and said.

"The original intention of Kong Sheng was just to remind the world that everyone should bear their own corresponding responsibilities and not mess up the rules. As for the new understanding you said, Ci Song does not agree with it." Ci Song raised his head and looked at Liang Wang, replied.

"Oh? Do you think that the interpretation of Confucius's words by later Confucian scholars is not correct?" King Liang asked.

"The king is the guide for his ministers, not that the ministers should obey the king's words, but that the ministers respect the king. The father's guide for his son is not that the son should obey the father's words, but that the son should respect his father. As for the husband, the wife is the guide, and the wife is the husband's Wife, a wife should respect her husband, but the word "respect" does not mean obeying her husband's will, but now the three cardinal principles have become a 'tool' used by some people to educate them," Ci Song replied without being humble or arrogant.

"Tool? Well, you are right. Everything in this world can be used by me and become a tool. But if it is used in the wrong place, it will become a poison that harms people. Therefore, I want to ask you, How do you think these "three cardinal principles" should be used?" King Liang stared at Ci Song Dao with interest.

"The three cardinal principles are the laws set by the former kings. Without the three cardinal principles, although there will be fewer sinners in the world, the three cardinal principles are not laws that people are born to follow. If they are not born with virtue, they will definitely not be able to do it. Yes, the so-called "three cardinal principles" should mean that a minister should have his own ambitions in his heart and act in accordance with the king's law. If he blindly uses the three cardinal principles to teach the people of the world to obey the monarch, it is not the intention of the former king. "Ci Song Dao.

"Yes, what you said makes sense, but I am a little curious. As a student of Yan Sheng Academy, you are a talented Confucian scholar, but what you said is contrary to today's Confucianism?" King Liang Continue to ask.

"I believe that the words of Confucius are the truth in the world, but Confucian scholars, in pursuit of fame, fortune and official position, have distorted the words of Confucius and figured out the minds of others. The "Three Cardinal Guidelines" they pursue are just to make themselves respect the emperor and respect the emperor. The Tao is to respect the father and value filial piety. I believe that this "Three Cardinal Guidelines" is not the original wish of Confucius. The Tao of "monarch, minister, father and son" mentioned by Confucius is to hope that people in the world can follow their hearts, improve themselves, and achieve both internal and external cultivation. I think , This is the true "three cardinal principles".

"Self-improvement, internal and external cultivation? It's very strange for you to say this."

After saying this, King Liang pulled two chairs from one side and moved them to the opposite side of his desk. Then he sat on his throne, looked at Ci Song and Mo Yao and said, "It's too tiring to stand and talk. Let's sit down." How about chatting?”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat."

Ci Song and Mo Yao did not refuse, and they sat opposite King Liang.

"Major General Ci, I have been thinking about how to govern the country during this period. You are a student of Yan Sheng Academy. Can you give me some advice?" King Liang said.

"I don't dare. I am a talented person and I dare not offer advice to the king." Ci Song lowered his head slightly and said.

Seeing Ci Song's reaction, King Liang smiled helplessly and said, "Major General Ci, are you blaming me for using the general's mansion to act?"

"The General's Mansion is a sharp sword in the hands of the king. It is natural to act like this. I dare not complain. It's just that I have few talents and knowledge, and I might not disappoint the king's expectations." Ci Song replied still neither humble nor arrogant.

"What a natural person, what a good person who is neither humble nor arrogant."

King Liang laughed helplessly again. He waved his hand and said, "Young General Ci, please sit down. I know you are angry, but I can assure you that the General Mansion will fight for our country and the world. He has made countless contributions, so I attach great importance to General Ci."

Having said this, King Liang paused, then changed his title, first looked at Mo Yao, and said: "Mo Yao, you may feel a little uncomfortable with what I am going to say, but I still hope you can listen to me. Finished."

"The king said so, Mo Yao can bear it." Mo Yao replied.

"good."

King Liang nodded, turned his gaze to Ci Song, and said: "Ci Song, let me tell you the truth here. Everything I have done is to pave the way for Tian'er. The reason why this king was against Wei Ji was And the followers of the Wei Mansion took action because they firmly opposed Daliang's national war.

This group of people claim to be the best scholars in the world, but I feel that they have a lot of knowledge but no intention to serve the country. "

"Of course, if they were just against the national war, I would not have taken action against Wei Ji and his subordinates, but what they should not have done the most was to keep writing to me after they gained power in the court, wanting me to marry a queen and concubines, have them give birth to a heir, and have another so-called 'successor', and then let Tian'er compete with them." The tone of King Liang was full of sarcasm.

"Tian'er's throne was decided by me and my elder brother when he was seven years old. But they still fantasize about having me give birth to a 'firstborn son', so that they can gain more power and even get involved in the royal power. That's why I took action against them."

"So, this is the real reason why the Wei Mansion was exterminated. Didn't the Mo Taiwei write a letter to ask the king to give birth to a child?"

"That's right. In fact, Mo Yun and Wei Ji are both veterans of two dynasties. I wanted them to land safely and enjoy a peaceful life in their later years, but they were not satisfied."

King Liang's tone was full of frankness. "When dealing with the Wei Mansion, I wanted to use the power of the royal family directly. Although it would take some effort, it was not impossible to solve it. Just when I was about to take action against the Wei Mansion, one day, Wei Ji suddenly wrote a letter, saying that he wanted to accuse Xu Weiwei of committing a serious crime and the crime was corruption, and asked him to be demoted, demoted to Zhongzhou, and exiled to the border."
