Comprehensive Manga: The Throne of Kings

The old man Ban came out first, with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said to everyone: "It's so late today, it's really helpless to call everyone here, if there is any lack of hospitality, please forgive me."

After finishing speaking, he gave a long bow, and his etiquette can be described as comprehensive.You must know that there are many Mohist disciples, and there are only a few commanders. As a commander, the old man can bow down and apologize to them.

So everyone looked at him quietly, depending on what he had to say, what communication he had made in the middle of the night.

Old man Ban knew that it was time to get down to business, so he chuckled and recruited a Mohist disciple.

I saw that the Mohist disciple was upright and solemn, every step was about a foot apart, and his breathing was quite long, he turned out to be a second-rate expert.

The Mohist disciple came up and stood beside the old man quietly without saying a word.

"This is a junior of our Mohist school. He is proficient in the essence of my Mohist school. This time our exchange is about benevolence. What do you think?"

"Benevolence is the problem?" Everyone present has a dark head. This is Confucianism, right!You Mohists came to answer Confucian words, what is the purpose of this?

Everyone didn't understand. If you talk about Mozi, he is also a legend.

Mozi was a farmer who also studied Confucianism and lived in the heyday of Confucianism. It can be said that his ideas and techniques were all evolved from Confucianism.

But he didn't like the Confucian etiquette. He hated those Confucians who didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but paid attention to rituals and funerals. Isn't there no fish, but the nets?"

This made him very dissatisfied with the Confucian way of sacrificing face and suffering, so he established a new family, called Mohism, and eventually became one of the two major schools of thought alongside Confucianism.Truly a genius.

Now, however, old man Ban uses Confucian "benevolence" as the topic of this exchange, which is really puzzling.

However, there is no Confucianism among the people present, and naturally there will be no tit-for-tat scenes with the Mohists, so everyone is a little relieved, just communicate with each other, and treat it as a game of fun.

And after the old man said the word "benevolence", he stopped making a sound, but handed over the home court to the Mohist disciple.

The Mohist disciple came out and said: "This time, my Mohist is rude, and I hope you will forgive me." After speaking, he also bowed.

Facing the solemn etiquette of this Mohist disciple, everyone nodded their heads, and they didn't care about the Mohist's arrangement this time.

As a result, the atmosphere of the crowd dropped and became peaceful for a while.

And the Mohist disciple said first: "The head of the class took the word benevolence as the topic, how about everyone here express their opinions in the word benevolence?"

The Mohist disciple humbly faced the crowd, paused for a moment, and then said: "Why don't I throw bricks to attract jade first!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for anyone to answer, he seemed full of aura, and continued to lead the crowd, saying: "Ren, in my Mohism, means universal love, treating the world without distinction, everyone is common and the same. There is no difference, so benevolence means loving all living beings and making all living beings equal."

158 Cruel and Merciless

"What do you think!" After finishing speaking, he showed a confident smile.Quietly waiting for the people below to answer.

This is the case in this era, everyone fights for their own ideas, and when people in every family fight, it is a blood boil.

Now when they heard what this Mohist disciple said, everyone would have their own disdain. In their minds, only the ones from their own family are the best.

Immediately, a person stood up, and saw that person wearing a long gown, with a smile on his face, and said: "The word benevolence is not so simple. All living beings are equal, how can they be equal? ​​Just imagine, in this world There are officials, people, and kings."

"What we have to do is that the people depend on the officials, and the officials depend on the king. If the king is benevolent, then the world will be benevolent."

However, before this person finished speaking, another person interjected, this is a middle-aged man wearing a black cloth jacket: "This is impossible. Looking at the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, each country has a generation that has prospered. But look now, there are still a few left. There is only one Qin Shihuang still sitting in that position, and he is cruel and heartless."

"So according to benevolence, it is not right to rely solely on the benevolence of the king. The country must be governed by law. Only with the law can a healthy country be built and people become strong. Therefore, benevolence should be governed by the law. Only then can it exist.”

Immediately, with the start of these few people, the whole hall became noisy like a vegetable market.

Li Yi looked funny from the side, he didn't participate in it, watching this scene, it was like watching those people arguing in the previous life, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

There was some inexplicable feeling in his heart, Li Yi looked at this Mu, and didn't know where his thoughts drifted.

And Tianming was even more impatient, he was purely illiterate and didn't understand anything, seeing what these people said he couldn't understand, he could only feel impatient.

Suddenly, he looked at Li Yi who was doing nothing beside him, his eyes lit up, and he squeezed towards Li Yi.

"Hey, Brother Muyang, do you know what they are talking about?" Tianming asked Li Yi, looking a little confused.

Li Yi turned his head to look at Tianming, and said, "Do you want to know?"

Tianming nodded his head hard, looking hopeful, which obviously aroused his curiosity.

Li Yi looked at the noisy crowd again, shook his head, and said: "This world is composed of everything, and people are the most important part of this world. People's lives, people's pursuits, and everything about people are included. in it."

"What they're talking about is a way of doing things about people."

Tianming scratched his head, a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "What is the way of doing things!"

Li Yiwen smiled and said: "Let me give you a metaphor! For example, I am a tree, and you are a grass. You grow under my tree, and I can shelter you from the wind and rain." .This is my way of doing things, in order to protect you little grasses from wind and rain."

"And you try to grow vigorously. Spring blooms, autumn withers, and winter dies. The continuous cycle of the year and season is your way of life and death. It is also the way you do things in this world. You only need to grow and die. All right."

Tianming suddenly realized when he heard this, and said: "That's right! Then what is the way they talk about doing things? It must be much more complicated than this big tree and small grass!"

Li Yi nodded and said, "That's true, what they're talking about is benevolence."

"Benevolence? What kind of way of handling things is this?" Tianming's head was full of bumps, and he felt a little confused.

Seeing Tianming's appearance, Li Yi immediately smiled and said, "Let me tell you briefly! I'll tell you something profound, and you probably don't understand it."

"Okay! Okay!" Xiaoji Tianming nodded like pecking at rice.

So Li Yi went on to say: "First of all, let's talk about the meaning of the word. Ren is a person on the one hand and two on the other. It means that two people are close and willing to walk together."

"Another example is Boren, this meaning can well explain the meaning of this word."
