The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 207 The Four Sentences of Hengqu, Pretending to be an Artifact

Self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and peace of the world are the embodiment of the Confucian thought of "sage within and king outside", a lofty state pursued by scholars, and a positive attitude of Confucianism to enter the world.The Confucian way of "cultivating Qi and governing peace" is also the condensation and summary of the wisdom of ancient sages and sages since Yao and Shun.

After Zhang Wu finished speaking, he asked Sima Hui and others, "Do you think so?"

Sima Hui said: "The words of the great governor and the words of the sages are in line with each other, which is the ideal that scholars of my generation pursue all their lives."

Pang Degong also said: "Yes, the Master said: the virtue of a gentleman, the virtue of a villain. The sage Confucius hoped that all of us scholars should become gentlemen. A gentleman is to have the world in mind and care about the common people. The way of great learning is the way to become a gentleman. road."

The rest of the people also agreed with what Zhang Wu said, because what Zhang Wu said was basically the words of sages or sages, and the scholars present were all reading the books of sages, so naturally they would not object.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was smiling and not speaking, Zhang Wu asked, "What do you think, Mr. Kong Ming?"

Among the students of Sima Hui, Zhuge Liang has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, he has read a lot, and he has read all kinds of books.The original book says that Kong Ming is close friends with Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan, Meng Gongwei, and Xu Yuanzhi. When those four studied, they strived to be pure and simple, but Kong Ming only saw the outline.

What consciousness?That is to say, when those four people were studying, they read intensively, grabbing a book and studying hard.But after Zhuge Liang brought a book, he only flipped through it to see the general idea.In this way, Zhuge Liang reads fast, of course he reads a lot.

It can be said that he has read books on various schools of thought, astronomy and geography, economy and people's livelihood, military strategy, Qimen Dunjia, music and painting, etc., and he has indeed learned the essence.

However, the book Zhuge Liang is most proficient in is "Guanzi". His main ideas and governance concepts are deeply influenced by "Guanzi", which has the characteristics of the Warring States Legalists. The textbooks he taught Liu Chan are "Guanzi" and "Shen , "Han" and other legalist classics.

Zhuge Liang also often compares himself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi, and feels that his ability is comparable to that of ancient famous ministers and generals. The book "Guanzi" mainly embodies the ruling thoughts and ideas of Guanzi, the famous Prime Minister of the Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, the book was written from the Warring States period to the Qin and Han Dynasties. the opinion of.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang's knowledge is very heterogeneous, and he also pays more attention to practice, focusing on solving practical problems, and disdains shouting slogans and talking about nonsense.

Zhuge Liang said: "What the governor said is the meaning of a sage, and Liang naturally has no objection. However, in today's troubled times, the world is constantly fighting, self-cultivation, and family affairs are easy, but governing the country and pacifying the world are not about reading books and talking about things. It can be achieved by speaking the words of a sage. And since ancient times, there have been very few people who have been able to reach this level, so for these students, is the goal too big?"

Consciousness means that you will quote the words of the sages, of course we cannot refute them, and what is the use of just shouting slogans?Shouting "I want to pacify the world", can Cao Cao be defeated, the war be ended, and the world be unified?

Zhang Wu said with a smile: "Governing the country and the world can't just rely on words, but young people must have lofty aspirations and aspire to do great things, but also be down-to-earth and start with small things. It has been more than [-] years since the sages made this statement. I think this goal is not too big for today's scholars, but too small!"

Zhuge Liang was a little surprised that this Zhang Wu dared to question the words of the saint.Not only Zhuge Liang, but also Mr. Pang De, Sima Hui, Xu Shu and others were a little curious. "Cultivating Qi and Zhiping" is the highest state pursued by scholars. As Zhuge Liang said, few people have been able to truly achieve it since ancient times.Now the governor actually said that this is a small goal, so what kind of goal is a big goal?
Zhuge Liang said: "I would like to listen to the advice of the governor."

I think you can say something that surpasses the words of a sage. Those present are all the top literati in Jingzhou. Even if you are the governor who holds great power, if you say something bad, you will definitely not be able to convince the crowd.Everyone doesn't say it, but you can't control it if you don't accept it in your heart, right?
Looking at the doubtful, curious, puzzled and even disbelieving eyes around him, Zhang Wu looked around one by one, and said with a serious expression: "Everyone, I wonder if you have ever thought about why there are so many scholars who are willing to accept Cao Cao's cruelty." Assisting him? It is because those people only want to realize their own ideals in life, so they want to use Cao Cao's power, even if the people of the world are ruined and their families are destroyed, they will not be moved. Scholars should not only pay attention to themselves, but to the world It is my own responsibility, so I think the true purpose of scholars should be to establish a heart for the world, to establish a life for the people, to inherit the knowledge of the past, and to bring peace to all generations!"

Establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations!Everyone repeated the four sentences Zhang Wu said one after another. They are really concise and powerful, and they are so loud!

Everyone was stunned by these four sentences!

High-level people like Pang De, Sima Hui, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, etc., resonated deeply with these four sentences. They couldn't help comparing their lives with these four sentences, but found that they did have a lot of life. big gap.Some of them obviously have the ability, but avoid reality, some people study and learn knowledge but just want to make themselves stand out, and some people plan everywhere for their own interests, but never consider what it will do to the people of the world Influence.

Sima Hui got up, tidied his clothes, and bowed deeply to Zhang Wu: "If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening! The words of the great governor are the truth of the world, and they have pointed out the ultimate ideal and path for us scholars. From then on, we scholars With faith! Governor, please accept the emblem and worship!"

Afterwards, Pang Degong, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others, as well as Zhuge Liang, stood up and saluted sincerely and said: "Great Governor, please accept my worship!"

All the students in Lumen Academy also saluted in unison with great excitement: "Great Governor, please be respected by the students!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhang Wu was very proud of himself. The "Four Sentences of Hengqu" are worthy of being the magical weapon of all traversers. These four sentences were summed up after the personal practice and innovation of countless sages and people with lofty ideals. It was deified in later generations.

Even Zhuge Liang is convinced this time, right?Remember, it is not Zhang Wu who really defeats you, but Zhang Zai!
Well, they are all surnamed Zhang.

Zhang Wu said to Sima Hui, Pang Degong and others: "Zeng Zi said: Scholars must be resolute. The responsibilities are heavy and the road is long. We have goals, but we must be firm in our beliefs. Although the future is bright, the road is tortuous. There will be many difficulties and obstacles and countless vicious enemies, so we must unite and work together to realize our ideals."

Sima Hui and others said: "I would like to follow the governor and bring peace to all ages!"

Zhang Wu said with a smile: "Okay, with your help, peace is not far away." Then he turned to the young students and said: "Scholars are the seeds of the world's culture and the carrier of righteousness in the world. Only you can bear these four sentences. The responsibility that can be carried. The future of the world belongs to you, young people, do it and cherish it!"

All the students also saluted together and said: "I wish to follow the governor and create peace for all eternity!"
