[Comprehensive] Famous all over the world

"What is right or wrong?" Yang Xue murmured softly, without arrogance or impetuosity, and talked eloquently, "It is right to be honest, loyal, filial, and righteous, and it is wrong to betray conscience for one's own selfish desires. As for what should be done, what should be done?" Why not, everyone has their own considerations in their minds, why do we have to make a scale to measure?"

Confucius remained silent without answering.Yang Xue thought that perhaps what she said was not clear enough, so she raised her eyes again, pursed her lips, and said, "Just as there are other countries besides Song, no one can demand that the people of all countries use the local laws of Song How can the master restrain the infinite with the limited? Constrain the people of the world with the words of one family?"

He let out a sigh of relief from his nasal cavity, Kong Qiu finally nodded his head slightly, and admitted humbly: "Young Master's words are very true, it is Qiu's narrowness, this is Qiu's mistake."

This sentence finally came out of his mouth.Amid the uproar of the crowd, Kong Qiu's heart was full of magnanimity, and his face became relaxed besides humility.

What surprised everyone was naturally not that Kong Qiu recognized Yang Xue. After all, the people sitting here are nobles who control the life and death of ordinary people, and they are not stupid. They also heard Yang Xue's words clearly. How could they not know? What Yang Xue said makes sense?What surprised them was that Kong Chuken himself announced this recognition.

You must know that it has never been an easy task for a person with a high reputation and status to admit his faults, and the same is naturally true for Kong Qiu.

Facing Yang Xue's eloquent remarks, in full view of everyone, he changed from being comfortable at the beginning to being helplessly silent at the end.In such silence, the person he was fighting with was not actually Yang Xue, but himself.It was the first time he was in such a difficult position to admit it, or to retort silently.But when he was finally able to truly face up to his own faults without covering them up, he was shocked to realize that the only thing that had been in trouble was his heart.

Perhaps, the difference between Confucius and others seems to be also reflected here. The so-called "people are not sages, no one can make mistakes", "knowing mistakes can be corrected, and there is nothing good about it", nothing less than this.

Regardless of what is discussed later, but from this point of view, this discussion, in fact, may eventually be a win-win situation.

The matter of "Women's Righteousness" finally came to a conclusion.There should be no more wars between Song and Lu, after all, this is a fault that Confucius has already admitted.If the State of Lu wants to start a war again, it will end up with a reputation of "unrighteousness".

The discussion was not over yet, but Yang Xue no longer had any worries in her heart.

"Young Master said earlier that you don't respect Qiu's Confucianism?" The true friendship between peers, the peace that only belonged to the elders on Kong Qiu's face is much less, but the meaning of discussion and inquiry has increased a lot.

"Indeed, Zishao did know Confucianism, and admired his master's talent very much, but Zishao did not admire Confucianism." Regarding the change in Kong Qiu's attitude, Yang Xue felt the deepest.Therefore, instead, she weakened that slightly domineering aura, and there was almost indiscernible hesitation in her tone.

Almost astutely, Kong Qiu caught the hesitation on Yang Xueruyu's face, and guessed a little bit of Yang Xue's thoughts in his heart, knowing that she was afraid of embarrassing himself, so he smiled at her comfortingly.

Without pointing it out, he followed his own words and continued: "It's Qiu who is ignorant and ignorant, so he doesn't know which theory the young master believes in. What the young master said seems to follow the flow and follow the heart. If you say you believe in Qiu's teacher The Taoism created by him is also similar...but it is not the same..."

"I don't know if my lord can clear up the confusion?" Kong Qiu already had some vague guesses in his heart, but he didn't dare to jump to conclusions, so he simply asked the question in his heart clearly. come out.

Yang Xue was still a little dazed, she didn't expect Kong Qiu to ask her this question.

After a while, she came back to her senses, and Yang Xue gradually raised the corners of her lips towards Kong Qiu, revealing a bright smile, and the brilliance of confidence in her brows and eyes was dazzling.

She said: "Zizhao said that Zishao can do as he pleases. Therefore, there is no school of thought. Zishao only believes in himself and the truth of the world. If we really want to talk about it, maybe Zishao himself can become one." The theory of a family is called 'reason'."

"reason?"

"truth?"

"The manager?"

As if deliberating, as if asking for proof, and speaking in various noisy whispers, Kong Qiu asked the key words Yang Xue said one by one.

"Reason." Yang Xue nodded heavily, her tone full of courage that could not be questioned or refuted.

"Only based on the debate between Cai Cai and the Master on 'Women's Righteousness', the Master's views on women for decades are fallacies, and Zishao's words are indistinguishable from the Master, and they are the truth. The truth is the truth. The correct cognition of everything in the world. Zishao, only believe in the truth. Lijia, also should only be composed of the truth!"

His face was as usual, but Kong Qiu had to admit that he was indeed shocked.Even though he had already guessed a little bit, he never expected that Yang Xue would dare to set up his own school openly, and would dare to do things that women in this world would not dare to do.

For a moment, he wondered where the bottom line of Yang Xue's courage was.Without revealing his expression, he tentatively asked: "How does the young master know that what he said is the truth?"

"Master, didn't you ever think that Confucian etiquette restraining women is an act of benevolence and righteousness?"

Yang Xue didn't answer the rhetorical question, but it was much sharper than the general answer, "Zi Shao is the same as the master, he only speaks what he thinks is correct, if anyone in the world disagrees with Zi Shao's words , You can also come to discuss the Tao with Zishao. The truth can stand the test. Just like today, if Zishao has never discussed the Tao with the Master, how would you know that the Master has said something wrong?"

Nodding his head ponderingly, Kong Qiu recognized Yang Xue's words, and also recognized Yang Xue's theory that "women can have amazing talents".

"What is the strategy of governing the country for the son's family?"

Very abruptly, Kong Qiu asked like this, which was beyond everyone's expectation.But just in the next moment, everyone suddenly seemed to be enlightened, and they all felt that this was what they should focus on asking——

First of all, many talented people have different schools because of their different views on governing the country. Of course, each school also hopes to apply its own policies on governing the country to the vassal states.Confucius has always advocated "benevolence" to govern the country and "virtue" to rule the people. It is not unusual to ask this question.

Secondly, Yang Xue is now the daughter of the king of the Song Dynasty, and she just refuted the "righteousness of women" and preached that "women can also rule the world", which is another school to be established.Song Jun has no children, if there is no accident, if she wants to implement her own policy of governing the country in Song State, it must be much easier than others.All the envoys here are representatives of the various vassal states, so how can they not seriously inquire and make careful plans?

"Rule the country by law." Almost a second after Kong Qiu finished speaking, Yang Xue replied subconsciously.

In her opinion, the way of governing the country in the 21st century is actually more scientific and applicable than in this era.But she didn't expect that just her saying "govern the country by law" would make Kong Qiu, who has always been as gentle as water and calm, frown.

"Governing the country by the law can certainly lead to temporary stability, but under the pressure of profit, there must be brave men. If driven by profit, some people will commit crimes, but if the root cause remains unchanged, what's the use of making laws?"

On the issue of governing the country, Confucius never backed down.In his view, only by making everyone abide by "benevolence and righteousness", abide by "ethics", and abide by "virtue", so that everyone can be called a "gentleman", can the occurrence of evil be fundamentally curbed.Therefore, morality and etiquette are the foundation of governing the country, as for laws and punishments, they are second. Criminal laws should be used only as a last resort, and must be used with caution.

In principle, what Confucius said is not unreasonable.The only thing he miscalculated was actually this world—this world would not change its appearance because of a certain person.What he thought was only his own ideal world.

To reform the bad government and strengthen the Song State, Yang Xue only felt that she still had her firm oath to Song Jun still in her ears, so how could she back down at this moment?She looked at Kong Qiu, and didn't mind Kong Qiu's refutation of her claim, instead she proved herself to Kong Qiu——

"I know that the Master advocates 'government with virtue', and regards governing the country with morality and ethics as the most noble way of governing the country. But what is benevolence, righteousness and morality? Respecting relatives and elders is 'benevolence', and loving the people is 'benevolence' Benevolence', loyalty to the monarch is also 'responsibility'... These words and deeds that we as a 'person' think are right, we call it 'morality', right?"

When it came to governing the country, Confucius was very cautious. He only waited to carefully consider every word Yang Xue said in his heart, and found no mistakes or omissions, and had nothing to refute. .”

"Since Master is a teacher of Lao Tzu, presumably Master should also know that people should conform to the nature of heaven and earth."

Without the slightest suspense, Yang Xue got Kong Qiu's affirmative answer again.She no longer set up questions as quotations, and only then did she really give an answer——

"Why do people conform to the nature of the heaven and earth? Because everything is born in the heaven and earth, and humans are naturally among them. But in the nature of the heaven and earth, the survival instinct of the weak and the strong is the survival instinct of all creatures, isn't it? Just like a fox loves to eat chicken but is afraid of tigers, people bully Isn't it natural for the weak to fear the strong?

Master uses benevolence, righteousness and morality to restrain the people, and asks them to restrain themselves and return to propriety, but how can they ensure that people in the world can restrain their nature as much as possible?How can we educate the people in the world?

The master advocates a light punishment, but if the murderer is sentenced to death, wouldn't the evildoer be like a crucian carp crossing the river?Isn't the country in chaos? "

Kong Qiu's pupils, which were always wise and clear, were suddenly stained with a little mist, as if a crack had been dug out in the belief he had always held on to.

"The rule of law that the young master said can stop the wicked from doing evil?"

While his faith was shaken, he asked suddenly, his tone full of disbelief.Obviously, he had listened to Yang Xue's words, but those words were still not enough to collapse his faith.Since the two are equally unable to prevent evil people from doing evil, why not try to educate them with benevolence, righteousness and morality?

"Master, I guess I misunderstood Zishao." Hearing Kong Qiu's emotional expression mixed with some eager words, Yang Xue reacted, and while it was funny, she did not forget to quickly explain, "Although Zishao said to rule the country by law, But I never thought of giving up the rule of virtue."

What do you mean?

Everyone asked the same sentence in their hearts at the same time, and even Kong Qiu, when he raised his eyes and lowered his eyes, revealed the same meaning to Yang Xue.
