Chapter 474 The princes who steal the country

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As soon as the ridicule started, everyone looked at Zhuang Zhou. His words were like arrows shot out, and each arrow hit everyone.

    Although Zhuang Zhou was not a hermit yet, he still became more and more disappointed the more he looked at the world. Now he heard Yunyao say that benevolence and righteousness were created by killing, and it was the hut that opened. He realized the problem in the world, that is, everyone now regards benevolence and righteousness as the basis.  In fact, no one cares about benevolence and righteousness when it comes to robbery. It is all hypocritical benevolence and righteousness.

    The masses bully the few, and the strong bullies the weak. How can the world now tell who is the good guy and who is the bad guy?  Good people are recruiting troops, and bad guys are recruiting troops. The strong bully the weak, and the weak bully the weaker.  Who is clean and who is dirty?  We only see disputes over merit over uneven distribution of spoils. How can there be any right or wrong?

    Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished by the princes.  There is no just war, only thieves stealing the country in the name of benevolence and justice.

    Yunyao's words finally made Zhuang Zhou realize what he had not seen clearly all this time. He finally understood the nature of this era.

    It¡¯s true that the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. Yunyao just said that the implementation of benevolence and righteousness must also be based on force. But to Zhuang Zhou, it sounds like the Warring States Period only had force but no benevolence and righteousness.

    The people here who advocated benevolence and righteousness were not happy, and they all locked eyes with cold and sharp eyes on the complacent Zhuang Zhou.

    At this time, Zhuang Zhou seemed to have divine help and stared back without fear, because he was a cynical young man who had long been dissatisfied with the Warring States Period. In Linzi, he saw a group of scholars who did not care about their own lives for fame and fortune. They gambled  The people of Qi who are addicted to selling their children and daughters, the aristocrats of Qi who still continue to bully Mohists despite the huge gap between rich and poor

    What he saw and heard was infuriating, and now he finally understood that there was no benevolence and righteousness in this era, only the strong bullying the weak, and the weak bullying the weaker.

    "What did you say?" A Confucian scholar said angrily: "Do you have the ability to say it again?"

    "I am saying that those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be the princes!" Zhuang Zhou's words simply slapped King Qi in the face. Aren't their Tian family the 'lords who steal the country'?

    Not only did he become a prince, he also became a king. When the state of Qi became the king, the state of Wei led four other countries to become the king together, including the state of Zhongshan.  At that time, Qi State angrily rebuked Zhongshan State that they should not be king because their fists were big enough, and Zhongshan State's fists were not big enough to be king.

    We know that Zhuang Zhou was cynical, and we also know that Zhuang Zhou was brilliant in literature. When cynicism and literary talent meet, the result is that he curses people very harshly.  When Yunyao heard that Zhuang Zhou actually uttered this sentence, she thought to herself, isn't this asking for death?

    King Qi's face turned purple like a sauce vat, and the nobles around him were eager to draw their swords and hack to death this young man who didn't know the heights of the world.

    Although Zhuang Zhou cherished his life on weekdays, at this time he looked like a tough guy, and the contrast between before and after was huge.  But this is all Zhuang Zhou. He does cherish his life, but he hates those who deceive the world and steal their fame.

    Baby Zi also didn¡¯t expect that Zhu Yun, whom she liked, would have such a friend. She was worried that King Qi would kill Zhuang Zhou in a rage, causing Zhu Yun to be alienated.  But the saying "Those who steal the hook will kill the princes who steal the country" is really too lethal, especially for King Qi, it is simply treason.

    This sentence is naturally very lethal. It can be said to be a must-have quotation for countless cynical young people. It is concise and concise. Even two thousand years later, countless young people will still use this sentence to express their dissatisfaction with society.

    Zhuang Zhou was a hermit, but he was a forced hermit. He was forced to become a hermit by the Warring States Period.  Therefore, many of his remarks contained dissatisfaction with the society of the Warring States Period and were full of anger, but he had no choice but to choose to protect himself wisely and preach the way of self-preservation.  However, Zhuang Zhou's anger is still contained in the lines. "Those who steal hooks will punish the princes who steal the country", "There is no near name for good deeds, and there is no near punishment for evil deeds." There are countless such cynical remarks.

    Who were the good guys and who were the bad guys during the Warring States Period?  Even Mencius suggested that the King of Qi should take advantage of the chaos in Yan to annex the state of Yan.

    Good people are recruiting troops to fight abroad, and bad guys are also recruiting troops to fight abroad. In Zhuang Zhou's view, they are all the same, so it is safe to do good deeds without too much reputation, and it is safe to do bad things without getting into lawsuits.  It has long been difficult to distinguish between doing bad things.  They obviously do good deeds, but they dare not show it for fear of retaliation.  You obviously do bad things, but you can do whatever you want as long as you don't get into trouble. This is the Warring States period.

    "Bold!" The ministers who were observing the words and expressions noticed that King Qi's face was sullen and immediately criticized him.

    Mencius on the side looked sideways, with a mixture of approval and anger in his eyes. Perhaps he was praising Zhuang Zhou for his courage, or perhaps he was angry at his sharp criticism.  After all, Mencius heard it very clearly. What the other party said was that today's world is full of hypocrites who seek benefit for themselves in the name of benevolence and righteousness, and naturally he was included among them.

    Facing various goalsIn the light, Zhuang Zhou's face does not change color.

    Yunyao thought to herself that Zhuzi is indeed Zhuzi. He usually screams when someone punches him, but once his own bottom line is touched, he will risk his life. This is what a scholar is.  But if he didn't care, Zhuang Zhou would really be hacked to death.

    "Hahaha" Thinking about how to save people, Yunyao laughed, and the hearty laughter spread throughout the venue.

    "What are you laughing at?!" The minister was furious.

    And the expression on the baby's face also changed suddenly. Can Zhu Yun still laugh at this time?  Isn't this adding fuel to the fire and putting out the fire with wood?

    Yunyao avoided the banquet and walked slowly to the middle of the venue, and asked loudly: "When I finish asking a question, you will also laugh." "I would like to ask, what Zhuang Zhou said is that those who deceive the world, steal reputation, hypocrisy, and steal the country will be punished.  Zhehou, is it the truth or a lie?"

    Yunyao glanced at everyone, his handsome face was calm and confident, and his eyes were a little cunning.

    "Of course" Everyone was stuck. Of course it was the truth, that's why they were so angry.  But if we admit that what Zhuang Zhou said is true, doesn't that mean we admit that he is hypocritical and a thief of the country?

    Mencius couldn't help but look at Yunyao, secretly thinking that such a cunning person turned against the guest.  Naturally, he figured out the reason for this question. This was to make everyone suffer because they couldn't get angry even though they were scolded.

    King Qi¡¯s expression was also colorful, and he could not admit that this was the truth.  Although this is indeed true, I must not admit it. Once I admit it, it will be equivalent to a slap in the face.

    Xu Gong on the side was also worried about Zhuang Zhou. He had long seen that Zhuang Zhou was a man of integrity and had a bottom line, so he was willing to make friends with him. However, he did not expect that Zhuang Zhou was more cynical than he imagined and would actually show up to Zhuang Zhou.  King Qi did not open any pot in front of him, so he directly pointed the finger at Tian's Daijiang.

    But after hearing Yunyao¡¯s rhetorical question, everyone fell silent. They could not admit that Zhuang Zhou was telling the truth. Admitting this meant that Zhuang Zhou was right in scolding him.

    "This is just like the emperor's new clothes. Is it true that everyone is stupid enough to think that the emperor wears clothes that smart people can see?"  Only children think the emperor has no clothes?  Absolutely not, but adults do not look at issues from the perspective of true or false, but from the perspective of interests. What adults think about is what will happen if they tell the truth?  Because they are afraid of the consequences of telling the truth, everyone pretends to be stupid.  But the child speaks directly, does not consider the consequences, and says whatever he sees, so the lie is mistaken.

    Everyone present is a smart person, not a childish child, so they are silent collectively, thinking about the pros and cons.

    The last minister gritted his teeth and said: "This man is talking nonsense and lies. Please ask the king to convict him of spreading rumors and causing trouble."
