However, it did not exceed Li Ye's expectations.

And Confucius is worthy of being a saint.

In just a few words, everything Li Ye asked has been explained.

Listen to the words of Confucius.

Li Ye smiled, and then said slowly: "Is it a world of great harmony?"

Squinting.

In Li Ye's eyes, yearning flashed involuntarily.

The whole world now.

There are many powerful countries.

Alien rampage.

Disputes continued.

The people are suffering.

Under years of strife and war.

The whole world is caught in the pain of disputes and gunpowder.

If at this moment.

The world can really be like what Confucius said.

How wonderful would that be?

In fact.

Confucius' ideal is not Li Ye's ideal.

after all.

At this moment, Li Ye is in the game of emperor.

If you want to survive.

It can only make the Great Xia under his rule continue to grow stronger.

Can only rule the world.

Even in the subsequent national war.

Want to win the final victory.

Under the rule of Li Ye, the whole world can only become stronger and more prosperous.

at this point.

The thoughts of Li Ye and Confucius actually coincide with each other.

but.

Li Ye also knew.

Although he had the same ideals as Confucius.

But the path to realize the ideal is very different.

What Confucius thought.

It is only through the benevolence and nature of human beings to educate, until finally realizing the world of great harmony in his heart.

However, Li Ye is different.

After participating in this emperor game.

It's doomed.

Li Ye's road to rule the world and even realize Datong is full of blood and killings.

It doesn't matter whether Li Ye is willing or not.

But such a thing.

It is definitely unavoidable.

Just like the Huns, just like Cixi.

Even if Li Ye didn't intend to be their enemy, it was impossible for them not to attack Li Ye.

In this position of Li Ye.

It was doomed, Li Ye was going to be the enemy of most people in this world.

Whether it is the Xiongnu in front or Cixi Lizhen.

Or the current Zhao Kuangyin, Dong Zhuo, Zhu Di, and even the possible future winners, Li Shimin.

Between them and Li Ye, they are destined to be hostile.

And now Li Ye.

He wanted to bring Confucius under his command.

the most important.

Undoubtedly, he tried his best to completely resolve the differences between himself and Confucius.

thought here.

Li Ye's expression became a little dignified again.

Slowly bowed his hands towards Confucius in front of him: "Then sir, as the Son of Heaven, how can I realize the world of great harmony?"

A question.

Confucius still did not change his face, and said: "To achieve great harmony, only benevolence and courtesy are the only thing."

Li Ye got up slowly and stared straight at Confucius: "Then sir, what is benevolence?"

There were only a few questions before.

Confucius can handle it calmly.

after all.

Everyone present knows.

As the leader of Confucianism.

Confucius naturally studied the subject of benevolence and propriety very thoroughly.

even say.

Everyone in the world.

No one can understand benevolence and propriety better than Confucius.

in the eyes of the public.

At this moment, it is not so much that Li Ye is taking the exam for Confucius.

Rather.

It was Li Ye who was asking Confucius for advice.

Chapter 274 The Old Ceremony of the Zhou Dynasty, the Contradictions Between Confucius and Li Ye

Listen to Li Ye's words.

Almost instantly.

The eyes of all the people present turned to Confucius.

They are all waiting for Confucius' answer.

Of course they all know.

perhaps.

This question from Li Ye.

It was Li Ye's examination of Confucius.

And they are also very curious.

Known as the sage of the world, Confucius is respected by scholars all over the world.

Faced with Li Ye's question, what kind of answer will he give?

So ever.

under the gaze of the crowd.

Confucius chuckled.

Slightly cupping his hands, without any hesitation, he said in a deep voice: "Self-restraint and return to courtesy is called benevolence. One day self-restraint and return to courtesy, the world will return to benevolence. It is up to oneself to be benevolent, but it is up to others."

But Li Ye's face still didn't have the slightest wave.

Just nodded slowly.

Then he calmly said: "Accidents, according to the words of the master, is it benevolent to restrain yourself and return to the courtesy?"

Confucius still had a smile on his face.

"One of benevolence, how broad is it?"

First she nodded slowly, then shook her head again, and the expression on her face became a little more solemn: "Restraining oneself and returning to courtesy is naturally benevolence."

"However, to see nothing that is contrary to propriety, not to listen to anything contrary to propriety, to speak not to be contrary to propriety, and not to act against propriety is called benevolence."

"Going out is like seeing a great guest, and making the people like receiving a great sacrifice. Do not do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself. You can call it benevolence if you have no complaints in the state and no complaints at home."

"A man of benevolence has a scornful word. A benevolent man loves others. He points out who is wrong, and he can make the wrong man straight. Shun has the world, and he is chosen from the crowd. According to Gao Tao, those who are not benevolent are far away. Yi Yin, those who are not benevolent are far away."

"Those who follow the propriety in every word and deed are called benevolence."

Li Ye smiled.
