"Some people say that over the years, I, Yinghua, have established two chambers, a prime minister, and a political party. This is all a conspiracy of the old Three Sages Party. Now that I want to abdicate, it is also a conspiracy of the Three Sages Party. What they want is a false king or even a false king. Wujun. In fact, how can this be a conspiracy? This is a conspiracy, and there is no Three Wise Party. I am the Three Wise Party."
As soon as Li Si said this, Li Kezai and the three emperors were shocked, and they all held their breath and waited for the next step.
"I have often said that one day China will no longer need a king. This is not just my words, nor is it true that the age of great unity said by the old Confucianism, the old Mohism, and the contemporary Datong Party is so elusive. A hundred years is too early. Three hundred years is too early. Too late."
"This does not mean that I, Yinghua, will not be able to escape the day when the emperor's constitution is abandoned, and the justice of heaven and man will be shattered. On the contrary, when the justice of heaven and man is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone can rely on him to be the king, we Li The dragon chair that the family sits on is superfluous. When the time comes, will future generations adapt to the current situation and give up the throne of the king to heaven and people's hearts, or will they turn the throne of the king into the facade of the country, and the emperor will be like Weng Zhong , this is what future generations will do for themselves.¡±
After looking at the worried Li Kezai and the somewhat panicked third generation, Li Si said again: "You must keep in mind that this is the current world, and the emperor of this world will eventually usher in this day. No. To be so self-aware and regard oneself as a king and father in the old world is to fight against the heavens and block the mighty tide of the times. At that time, not only was the disaster for China started, but it was also the beginning of the disaster for my Li family."
"You must ask, do you think you are a noble man and don't interfere in national affairs? This is to comply with the current situation, which is a blessing to the country and a blessing to the Li family?"
"Of course not, Kezai, just like I asked you to let go and fight. Only when everyone becomes a scholar, or when everyone thinks they are a scholar, and thinks that the righteousness of heaven and man is at heart, is the time for the emperor to call his curtain. Every day has power, and every day has responsibilities. These responsibilities cannot be evaded. Therefore, I say that a hundred years is too early for the day when there will be no king or even no king."
When Li Si said this, Li Kezai noticed the mystery in his father's words: "Father, everyone thinks that they are scholars. Doesn't this mean that the people of the country are manic? If they are manic, how can they give in?"
Li Si smiled happily. Talking about the king was just a foreshadowing. Today he was going to talk to Li Kezai and the three emperors about the truth of the world.
"Everyone becomes a scholar, but it is just a delusion, just like the great unity. It will never be reached"
" Sure enough, this was a big turn of events. Li Kezai was thinking thoughtfully. The three generations of emperors were too young, so they felt that the words of the emperor's grandpa were going up to heaven and down to earth. The sun was blazing and the winter was freezing. They couldn't control it, and they all felt a little dizzy. Li Si didn't expect them to understand. Rather, like traditional Chinese education, it is instilled first and then grows with age. A little more understanding.
"Let's start withwhat is this world."
Li Si turned around again, and Li Kezai was also a little dizzy, and a familiar feeling filled his heart. When he was a child, he often listened to his father and Duan Hongshi debating. The two of them would be talking about the matter, and then suddenly they would fly up. When you followed them up, you would shout, and the topic would get into the sea again. Just persevere and follow until the end. After listening to the two people going around in a big circle, they suddenly returned to the original topic. Only then did they realize that the original topic had been solved.
So when Li Si asked him: "Who is the cause and effect of the righteousness between human beings and heaven and man in this world?" Li Kezai bit the tip of his tongue and mustered up all his strength to chase after him.
"The foundation of today's human world is that money balances people to live in the world. The great righteousness of heaven and man, that is, the three relationships between heaven and man, is the root of the human heart that supports this world. The tide of balancing people with money comes first, and great righteousness comes after. The two intersect, When they merge with each other, they will become the present world."
Li Kezai¡¯s answer is the standard answer. The foundation of great righteousness is various academic thoughts. These academic thoughts have laid the foundation before and after the contention of a hundred schools of thought, just like the Greek era of Westerners. Only when the current situation evolves to a certain point and gives a certain type of intellectual thought an opportunity to grow, can these intellectual thoughts become a great cause. And this possibility needs the guidance of Li Si to open a new era in order to become a reality.
The current situation comes first, and the great righteousness comes later, and the two interact with each other. Without the cooperation of the righteousness of the times, it is impossible to cross the threshold and revolutionize the world. The great righteousness has no roots in the current situation. It is still just a fragmentary surge of learning and thought, and it is impossible to rise to a complete great righteousness.
Li Si said again: "Therefore, when we look at the changes in the human world, they are based on the current situation, and the current situation is based on the changes in heaven and man. We cannot be trapped in righteousness, we cannot investigate right and wrong, we cannot torture merits and crimes, and we cannot have the heart to praise or criticize. Look down at the human world with eyes that are close to God. God is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs. Only by raising our hearts to this state can we see everything in the human world truly."
This is easy to understand. Li Kezai subconsciously regarded this process as Buddhist meditation or Taoist meditation. He closed his eyes and calmed his mind, then opened his eyes and nodded to his father to indicate that he was ready.
Li Si nodded and got to the point: "Your answer is either right or wrong. The current situation comes first, and the righteousness comes later. But when you look at the righteousness with this heart, you will find thatLi Si brushed his beard and said with a smile: "We're close"
He sighed: "We in China value collectives, and the distinction between scholars and commoners has been followed for thousands of years. Although the division methods are different, this division has always existed. The distinction between scholars and commoners cannot be regarded as something from the old world. In my opinion, This is the foundation for China to be better than Europeans, and to be able to regain the leading position in the world in this world. And the dream of everyone becoming a scholar is a guarantee for China to be better than Europeans."
"The great righteousness of this world is that everyone is one and equal. The distinction between scholars and common people will inevitably gradually disappear, but this does not mean that there is no such gap in people's hearts. The distinction between scholars and common people is no longer a status distinction. It¡¯s about the level of people¡¯s minds. As long as we stick to this point and let everyone always see the ideal that everyone can become a scholar and realize that everyone is not a scholar, there will eventually be hope for the future.¡±
Speaking of this, Li Si finally returned to the original theme: "Why is it false for everyone to become a scholar? Because no matter how much knowledge a person has or how much he knows about heaven, there will always be differences in people's hearts when compared with each other. That's why. Just like animals are divided into strong and weak, so are people. Beauty and ugliness, health and disability, people are different, there are strengths and weaknesses. And in the human heart, there is also such a distinction between strength and weakness. If we take who Who knows more about righteousness, who is closer to the way of heaven, who can abandon flesh and blood more, and stand higher than others. If we look at the world as a strong person, the strong ones will always be in the minority. And these strong people, we call them scholars."
"What is the greatest responsibility that a person in this world has?"
Li Si¡¯s tone was quite serious at this time: ¡°That is to suppress the bad nature of human nature in the world.¡±
Li Kezai secretly gasped, the badness of human nature
"Yes, the weakness of human nature, freedom, whether it is individual freedom, collective freedom, or self-interest in our Chinese people's righteousness, actually stems from the weakness of human nature."
"Just like everyone's equality is a summary of the current situation, but it is cited as a righteousness. Even most people understand everyone's equality as equality of results, so they demand equality, ignoring that this means that people should be conscious and themselves. The human heart to control destiny also comes from the badness of human nature."
Listening to Li Si¡¯s words, describing Yinghua¡¯s righteousness of heaven and man and describing the new world he created as a manifestation of the badness of human nature, it was really difficult for Li Kezai to accept it emotionally. But facing his calm father, he knew very well that his father was talking about the way of heaven and the truth of the world. There was no trace of emotion in these words. To be continued.
