"It is a classic that my Confucian sage Mencius used to persuade King Xuan of Qi to practice the art of benevolence."

"I use this to warn Confucian disciples not to kill easily, and to have a benevolent heart."

"I don't know what's wrong?"

Everyone thought carefully after hearing the words.

I don't think there is anything wrong with Xiao Shengxian Zhuang's doing so.

Isn't that what a gentleman should do when he stays away from the kitchen?

Lu Yan smiled slightly and said, "It's not just a mistake, it's a big mistake, it's completely different from what Mencius meant!"

Everyone was surprised when they heard Lu Yan's words.

Lu Yan said so, isn't he afraid that the wind will flash his tongue?

Fu Nian took a deep look at Lu Yan and said, "Mr. Lu, please point out the mistakes."

Lu Yan said indifferently: "Mencius used this to persuade King Xuan of Qi to practice benevolence, and to warn Confucian disciples not to kill easily, but to have a benevolent heart."

"This is also the theory of governing the country. It is necessary to govern the world with benevolent politics."

"But Mr. Fu Nian, have you ever thought that you Confucian disciples have misinterpreted the meaning of this sentence?"

"Little Shengxian Village doesn't have a kitchen, so naturally it doesn't kill animals and livestock, so there won't be any whining."

"And Confucian disciples can't hear these wailing sounds, how can they develop a heart of compassion? How can they know the value of life?"

"Without compassion, where is the beginning of benevolence?"

"Your proposition does keep Confucian disciples away from cooks, but it also keeps Confucian disciples away from benevolence."

"It's like an attic in the air. It has been divorced from reality and has a surface."

"In this way, wouldn't it be a misinterpretation of the meaning of the sages?"

"I said that you are completely different from each other, isn't it right?"

As Lu Yan's words fell, hundreds of people in the huge inn fell into silence.

Everyone looked at Lu Yan dumbfounded.

In the past, I heard that gentlemen stay away from the kitchen, so Xiaoshengxianzhuang didn't set up a kitchen, and when they specially asked an inn to take care of the catering, everyone thought that Confucianism was doing the right thing.

But hearing Lu Yan's words at this time, Confucianism clearly misinterpreted the meaning of the sages!

If you can't hear the wailing and see the misery of animals, how can you have compassion?

Without compassion, where does benevolence come from?

Isn't the benevolence among benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom just like a loft in the air, an illusion!

Lu Yan turned his head and looked at Zimu and the others who came to pick quarrels yesterday, and said indifferently, "If you don't have benevolence, you will have to act domineering."

"This little sage village of Confucianism is going to become a little domineering village of Legalism!"

hiss!

Everyone gasped when they heard what Lu Yan said later.

Murder and kill!

It's a murderous heart!

Involuntarily, everyone looked at Fu Nian.

At this moment, Fu Nian's complexion was pale, and there were beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

Obviously, he was also speechless by Lu Yan's words!

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.

Could it be that Fu Nian is about to lose like this? !

Not far away, Fusu was even more shocked when he saw this scene!

A contemporary great Confucian can't argue with a storyteller? !

Yan Lu and Zhang Liang, who were standing behind Fu Nian, looked worried when they saw Fu Nian's situation.

"This matter... is indeed my fault."

After a long time, Fu Nian finally spoke.

And when you open your mouth, you are admitting your mistake.

He took a deep look at Lu Yan and said, "A gentleman who stays away from the kitchen must first go through these things, hear the sound of mourning, and develop a heart of compassion before he can be benevolent."

"If you haven't experienced these things, where does the benevolence come from!"

Planting a tree will bear fruit, and if you want to bear fruit without planting a tree, it will only be a fantasy in the end.

Lu Yan smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Indeed."

Everyone looked at Fu Nian with extremely subtle eyes.

The great contemporary Confucianists are able to admit their mistakes in public, and they have courage and courage.

Admirable!

Fu Nian had calmed down at this time, and after admitting his mistake, he said, "However, Mr. Lu said earlier that my Confucian disciples follow the rules and have a rigid mind. I still don't admit it."

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Is "The Great Learning" a Confucian classic?"

Fu Nian replied without thinking: "It's natural."

Lu Yan asked again: "What is "University" about?"

Fu Nian replied: "Cultivate one's self, regulate one's family, rule the country and the world."

At this time, Lu Yan and Fu Nian were asking and answering questions like teachers and students, but it didn't make people feel that there was anything wrong.

At this time, everyone also had a question in their minds.

What's wrong with cultivating one's morality, regulating the family, governing the country and the world?

Lu Yan said calmly: "This is the core and most subtle idea of ​​"The Great Learning", but it is also your mistake!"

hiss!

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but gasped again, and a turbulent sea was set off in their hearts.

Lu Yan's remarks clearly negate the core idea of ​​"The Great Learning", which is tantamount to denying the entire "Great Learning"!

You know, this "University" is one of the most classic classics of Confucianism!

This is a theory recognized by countless people!

How dare he be so brave!

Facing everyone's shocked, even shocked gazes, Lu Yan remained calm.

Since he said that, he is sure to convince everyone!

Fu Nian really didn't expect that Lu Yan would be so bold as to bluntly say that the core idea of ​​"University" is wrong!

If this came from a Confucian disciple, it would be an act of treason and betrayal of the ancestors.

A thousand cuts are not too much!

But facing Lu Yan with a confident face, he suddenly hesitated.

Is "University" really wrong?

"What's wrong?"

This time the person who asked the question was not Fu Nian, but Yan Lu.

Yan Lu, who had always been calm and aloof from the world, had a rare expression of seriousness.

Everyone is also extremely curious at this time, what is wrong with this "University"?

Lu Yan smiled slightly and said, "Cultivate one's self, regulate one's family, rule the country and the world. You teach your disciples according to this idea. Your original intention is to follow the ideas of the sages and teach the talents of the pillars. There is nothing wrong with that."

"But in your Confucianism, if a disciple doesn't follow the path of self-cultivation, family governance, state governance and world peace, what will happen?"

Yan Lu replied: "Our Confucianism does not have such disciples."

This is the purpose of Confucianism to teach disciples, so naturally the phenomenon Lu Yan mentioned will not occur.

Lu Yan smiled slightly and said, "Look, you Confucian disciples are all following the road of self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace. Without exception, you still say that you are not following the rules or rigid thinking?"

Fu Nian frowned and asked: "We are walking the right path, is there something wrong?"

Lu Yan shook his head and said, "It's right to go the right way, but it's not right to restrict the disciple's mind and force the disciple to take the road of self-cultivation, family governance, state governance and world peace."

"If there are disciples who don't follow this path, they will be reprimanded by you and will fail."

"If it is serious, it will be regarded as deviant. Faced with such severe punishment, disciples naturally dare not disobey, and they all follow this path."

"In this way, although the disciples have the belief that they will benefit the world, they all become the same in the end."

"Without your own thoughts, without your own understanding, everyone has the same idea in their minds."

"What's the difference between this and a puppet?"

"I would like to ask Confucian disciples, where are your own thoughts?"

"Apart from what the sages left behind, what new values ​​have you yourself created for Confucianism?"

boom!

Lu Yan's words rang in Fu Nian's ears like thunder on the ground.

Fu Nian was completely dumbfounded.

No innovation, no new insight.

Just blindly learn and inherit, step by step.

Isn't it just the performance of following the rules and rigid thinking?

In addition to inheriting the ideas of the sages, what did these disciples contribute to Confucianism? !

Chapter 3 and Three Master Lu!

In the huge Youjian Inn, hundreds of guests gathered together, but at this moment, a needle drop could be heard quietly.

Almost everyone's eyes were on Lu Yan.

There are compliments.

There is surprise.

There is also shock.

Lu Yan's words really exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.

As a Confucian sect, Xiao Shengxian Zhuang spreads Confucianism and has always been admired by thousands of people.

Almost half of the people in Songhai City agree with Confucianism, and they are indeed regulating their words and deeds according to Confucianism.

I thought that if I go on like this for a long time, sooner or later, I will become a pillar of the people and a sage of Confucianism.

But today someone suddenly told them that they did something wrong!

The idea they have always insisted on is completely contrary to the will of the sages!

Thinking of this, all the Confucian disciples present turned extremely pale!

This kind of mental shock is really too fierce!

They even lost their eyesight and showed signs of mental breakdown!

not far away.

Da Si Ming and Shao Si Ming looked at each other, then looked at Lu Yan.

At this time, there was a storm in their hearts.

Lu Yan's words dealt a huge blow to Confucianism!

"This Mr. Lu is not a disciple of Confucianism, so how can he understand Confucianism so well?"

Da Si Ming didn't understand.

Over the years, Confucianism has had many enemies.
