Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2541 Find an enemy

Enemies, of course, are not found casually.

When Pang Tong brought Pang Shanmin to the square in front of Qinglong Temple, the disciples who had been waiting here for a long time naturally had a commotion.

Although it is said that because these people have been waiting in the cold wind for less than half an hour, it is inevitable that they will complain in their hearts and whisper a lot of complaints, but when Pang Tong and others showed up, these people were all in a flash. So he changed his expression, put on a flattering smiling face, hid his dissatisfaction deep in his heart, and hastily left the warm shelter, rushed towards Pang Tong and others, and while saluting, he also shouted He said all kinds of compliments, hoping that he could attract the attention of Pang Tong or someone else.

After all, for the vast majority of people, such important officials as Pang Tong and Zhuge Jin who are at the side of the hussars are definitely rare to see on weekdays. seeking profit.

Pang Tong didn't care about the flattery and flattery of these children, he just nodded slightly to the crowd, but walked straight towards the main hall of Qinglong Temple without any intention of stopping.

Zhuge Jin and Pang Shanmin also followed closely behind Pang Tong, smiling and clapping their hands in response to the greetings one after another, without stopping under their feet.

Some people who happened to meet at the meeting didn't receive the news at first, but when they saw a huge group of people gathered here, they couldn't help being curious and came over to inquire about the situation.

I don't know when there was a news that Pang Shanmin was going to fight Zheng Xuan!

Fighting in the ring may be exaggerated, after all, you can't really go up and fight, but maybe it also means something different?
Moreover, Pang Shanmin also found some weird things from Fanbang, which are said to have been written by sages like Confucius and Mencius...

This is even more rare. There are also Confucius and Mencius in the Western countries?
Pang Tong raised his head and walked forward.

He came this time to support Pang Shanmin...

The news, of course, was also passed on by him.

After such news spread, it quickly produced a sensational effect.

With Pang Tong's current net worth, he would have to pay an appearance fee anyway... Cough cough cough, with Pang Tong's status as a noble, now he actually came here to give Pang Shanmin a front introduction, which naturally means that this matter is not trivial.

Pang Tong is one of the most important ministers under the hussars, or not one of them. Pang Tong's arrival here also represents the meaning of the general of the hussars?
There has never been a shortage of "smart people" who are good at pondering in this world.

In Qinglong Temple, there are also not a few people who call themselves "smart people".

So, after all kinds of speculation, many people gathered today to watch Pang Shanmin enter the hall.

Pang Shanmin looks average, but better than Pang Tong.

Not everyone can be as handsome and charming as Brother Pig, attracting people to share the same bed, nor is it like fish sauce, suitable for both men and women, old and young, Pang Shanmin has the appearance of ordinary people, neither ugly nor good .

And Zhuge Jin is naturally personable.

Therefore, the three of Pang Tong can just be lined up in a row, fully expressing the progressive relationship from how apes are... er, from being quite ordinary to middle-aged, and then to good-looking.

When everyone saw Pang Shanmin, they couldn't help talking about it.

This is the legendary hermit Queen Pang De?
After all, he is an outsider who advertises that he does not take pleasure in wealth and titles, and does not attach himself to powerful and high-ranking officials.

So why did Pang Shanmin appear here again?

Didn't you slap your own father in the face?
That's interesting Hey!
Under various thoughts, including Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui who were on the side, everyone's eyes were focused on Pang Tong and Pang Shanmin...

On the other side, Pang Tong ignored the doubts in other people's hearts, he just quickened his pace, came to Zheng Xuan, bowed his hands to Zheng Xuan, "I have seen Zheng Gong." 』

Zheng Xuan's complexion improved slightly, and he was about to stroke his beard before he said a few words, but when he saw Pang Tong, he almost didn't pause, and walked in front of Sima Hui again, bowed his hands and said, "I have seen Mr. Shui Jing." . 』

"Uh, good, good! 』Sima Hui heheed twice, glanced sideways at Zheng Xuan's face, then quickly closed his gaze, nodded again and again, and smiled kindly.

Everyone is acting on the same stage, uh, competing on the same stage, so naturally there is no distinction between high and low.

Since it is a play, it needs a theme.

The theme this time is to redirect the originally deviated direction of Qinglong Temple Grand Theory back to the track preset by Hushi General Fei Qian.

There are many reasons for the deviation, but one of them is that Zheng Xuan is too self-confident.

In Qinglong Temple, Zheng Xuan didn't do his best.

Maybe Zheng Xuan failed to comprehend what Fei Qian meant, maybe Zheng Xuan comprehended it but failed to do it well, or maybe he just didn't want to do it well, it's all possible, but it doesn't matter now.

If Zheng Xuan can't do it, or can't do it well, let others talk about it and do it.

It's like a job, if A can't do it, B will take it.

At any time, in any dynasty, academics serve politics.

Maybe someone sees this "service" and thinks of big health care, ice and fire, and so on, but they look disgusted on the surface, but they are like that in their hearts, and then think that a little girl who is so academically clean, how can she Can it be paired with a middle-aged man who is so politically greasy?

In fact, one loves money and the other is lustful, isn't it just a good couple?

This is no joke.

The search for truth and the control of power are the core of academics and politics.

Plato in ancient Greece believed that only when a person has mastered knowledge and truth can he have the foundation to become a "king". The logic behind the "philosopher king" is that academics serve politics.

Similarly, there are similar expressions in the classics of the Spring and Autumn Period, "Sage Kings" must internalize good moral qualities into their own benevolence, and after mastering the "Day of Heaven", they can become real kings.

The hundreds of schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods were originally born to seek political outlets and ways of governing the country for each vassal state.

Some people say that the theories of Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, and Zhuangzi are really outstanding.But after so many years in Huaxia, why hasn't there been a group of people who can be compared with them?

So is it that at the beginning of creation, it has basically reached a peak, so it is difficult to break through?
Actually, yes and no.

From a certain point of view, in fact, later generations have been creating and innovating.

It's just that because the direction of walking is the same as that of the predecessors, it seems that there has been no change or breakthrough, but in fact, whether it is the Neo Confucianism or the Psychology of later generations, it can be said that it has reached a new level. new heights.

That's right, new heights.

But it is not Xinkuangdao, nor Xintiandi.

If you look at the breakthroughs and progress of these latecomers from a distance, you will find some regrets.

Because the people in front, especially in the Han Dynasty, had already framed Confucianism to death, and then the emperors of successive dynasties reinforced and welded this frame. It is impossible to jump out of this framework, and you can only make a fuss within this framework, stacking higher and higher, and finally crumbling.

Under the framework of "Interaction between Heaven and Man", in the "Social Subconsciousness", it is embedded that only a student of Confucianism can become an official and rule the world, or get rich through corruption, or better, it is called Yan Ruyu in the Golden House.

Such unspoken rules have become the mainstream, and works and ideas that develop in other directions have all been destroyed by generations of emperors and Confucian children.

It’s not that later generations are stupid and unable to surpass their predecessors, but that there were no political restrictions at all when there were hundreds of schools of thought, and there were naturally colorful collisions of various ideas. After the Han Dynasty, thinking was gradually framed to death, and all jumping The idea of ​​taking off is blocked, and it is withdrawn from the shelves at every turn, and the original diversity is lost.

Don’t tell me if it’s not possible, but just ask yourself to change it. If you don’t have time to change it, it’s like a large-scale revision of books by the imperial court, such as Sikuquanshu or something...

Science cannot be separated from politics.

Politics also limits academics.

Fall in love and kill each other for a lifetime.

Pang Tong pulled Pang Shanmin and came on stage. In fact, it was similar to asking Zheng Xuan, "Do you know where you are wrong?"
Zheng Xuan still looked unruffled, but there were some subtle changes in his face, if he was not familiar with people, he might not be able to detect it.

It's a pity that sitting next to Zheng Xuan is Sima Hui.

Sima Hui lost his wife and son in his early years, and his wife died of the plague after the rebirth, and then he regarded his academics as his son.Well, Sima Yi is just his nephew.

A son and a nephew are somewhat different, right?

Pang Tong spoke a few words on the stage, and then introduced Pang Shanmin.

This time the protagonist on stage is not Pang Tong, but Pang Shanmin.

Pang Shanmin actually likes the atmosphere of Guanzhong, which is a kind of confidence.

the confidence of the people.

In Jingzhou, whether it was in Liu Biao's time or in Cao Ren's time, when the horse-drawn carriages of nobles and nobles passed through the official roads and villages, and when they passed through the main streets and gates, the ordinary people always avoided them, and they were often low-key. Keep your head down, squint your eyes, and stay as far away from the vehicle as possible.

However, when Pang Shanmin arrived at Guanzhong Sanfu, he found that the busy farmers on the Guanzhong official road would also look at these carriages, but they never flinched or avoided them intentionally.

Pang Shanmin originally thought it was just his own illusion, but later he found out that it was not the case.

The officials of Sanfu in Guanzhong did not think that those people who bowed their heads were obedient, nor did they think that people who raised their heads were disobedient.The same is true for the common people. When they are curious, they just stand up, take a look or two generously, and then continue with their own affairs.

Doing your own thing doesn't require those extra moves.

Guan Zhong is confident. This confident attitude is vividly displayed from the farmer's eyes, smile, or the occasional smile when he is busy with the field.

It's like Guanzhong has always been dissatisfied with being under Shandong.

There is also such a confident group of people in Qinglong Temple, but they are not farmers, but the children of noble families, especially those from poor families.These people are a group of the most ambitious people. In order to display their ambitions, they can do everything that ordinary people can't bear, and they are also the group of people who most believe that there is no high or low in the gentry. Because their backgrounds are not expensive, they naturally Just don't believe in "wealth has a definite number".

After all, most of those who believe in destiny will not come to Chang'an.

It is also the same surname, why is it that some people are born rich and rich, while others are born poor and humble?

Dare to think about why, and there is a feeling of dissatisfaction in my heart.

What is the right to think about, and I thought about doing a career in my heart.

Qinglong Temple is like a magnet, gathering people with lofty ideals from all over the world.

Such a place, such a few people, of course need better guidance and a clearer direction.

Zheng Xuan failed to do it, or Zheng Xuan did it, but failed to do it well.

Hussar General Fei Qian had a big plan, and Pang Shanmin only knew a little bit about it, but he was already full of admiration.He originally thought that he came to Guanzhong because Fei Qian wanted to implement Huang Lao's art and depose Confucianism, and after playing an unfinished game of chess with Fei Qian, Pang Shanmin knew that it was not the case.

Although Pang Shanmin is in the lineage of Pang Degong and a descendant of Huang Lao's school, he doesn't think it is necessary to have an either-or with Confucianism, because the world itself is not black or white.

Pang Shanmin doesn't like disputes, and he doesn't like arguing with others, but he still comes because he also wants to communicate with Fei Qian face to face, to understand what kind of plan and plans Fei Qian has for the present and the future of the whole big man. arrange.

King the world.

Conquest is not the ultimate goal.

If it was for the sake of high-ranking officials and positions, Fei Qian would already be below one person and above ten thousand people.

If it is for the prosperity and stability of the people, then the people in Guanzhong are gradually becoming rich and stable.

in the case of……

That would be dangerous.

So Pang Shanmin came even if he didn't like disputes.

Pang Shanmin used to think that people can reason, as long as the reason is clear, then it is easy to do the corresponding correct things, and chaotic conquest is a situation that no one wants, so as long as it is clear, it will be so smart. People naturally don't do those stupid things, and they don't do things that are harmful and unprofitable.

If the measures taken by the rulers cannot make the country strong and the people healthy, logically speaking, they should not do it.

Then Fei Qian told Pang Shanmin that not everyone in the world is reasonable.

If you want everyone in the world to be reasonable, Confucianism must first be reasonable.

Because Confucianism has upheld the responsibility of education since the time of Confucius, and what kind of teacher will bring out what kind of students.The emperor has to be reasonable, all the officials have to be reasonable, and the common people have to be reasonable, and finally everyone can be reasonable.As long as any link is wrong, then there is no need to reason.

But now, Fei Qian told Pang Shanmin that Confucian children had begun to become unreasonable.

Start with Jinwen Jingxue.

Start with the induction of heaven and man.

Starting from the meeting of the White Tiger watching the court...

Academics serve politics. If academics start to be unreasonable, then politics will naturally become unreasonable, and political unreasonableness will in turn deepen academic unreasonableness.

Why not be reasonable?
Because the fist is big.

Fei Qian didn't say anything to Pang Shanmin that was within the range of the cannon, but Pang Shanmin could roughly understand it.

When there were hundreds of schools of thought, Confucianism was not big enough, but after the Han Dynasty, Confucianism became bigger and bigger, and naturally it became more and more unreasonable.If you want to be reasonable, you must have an evenly matched opponent, just like if both sides of the debate find that they can't beat the other side, they can only win the support of others.

This opponent is the "many man" that Fei Qian specially found out.

A strong foreign enemy can keep the brothers from fighting against the wall.

Between the Huaxia brothers, when there is no foreign enemy, do they run forward hand in hand?

no.

It's because he can't wait to kill the other party and become the boss himself.

This is the end of the tragedy of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, this is the stone left by Qin Shihuang, and this is the ultimate goal of all Chinese emperors.

So there must be enemies.

There must be foreign enemies in academics, foreign enemies in politics, and foreign enemies in the country.

This enemy can't be too far away, too far away to be invisible, and can't be too close, too close to say that he was killed by the enemy that day, and the "enemy" that Fei Qian took out at the moment seems to be just right.

"Everything in the world has its pros and cons.Just like human food, gaining it is beneficial, and losing it is harmful. ”Pang Shanmin said slowly, “Do you think so? 』

As soon as Pang Shanmin made a statement, everyone in the audience discussed it.

Including Zheng Xuan, everyone in the audience was thinking, but after thinking carefully for a long time, they felt that they couldn't find anything wrong with Pang Shanmin's argument, so they all nodded their heads.

Although it was a bit too direct, it was like a steel knife entering the center and taking the middle palace with force.

Pang Shanmin and the others quieted down for a while, and then continued: "So, the people of the world tend to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."Hunger and cold are harming, desiring to be fed and clothed, being poor and detrimental, desiring to be rich, desiring to be disorderly and detrimental, desiring to be governed, and so on, are the foundation of human beings and the aspirations of the world.Do you think so? 』

Everyone whispered to each other.

This, seems to be no problem?
Moreover, Pang Shanmin didn't say that everyone must seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, he also said that most of them are, after all, the existence of Lezihun cannot be avoided in any age.What's more, there are still many people who say they want to be loyal, but actually act for profit, isn't it true?
So after Pang Shanmin finished speaking, no one had any opinions.

Pang Tong nodded slightly, "The sages of Confucius and Mencius, all schools of thought, were born in the Spring and Autumn Period, and then each declined. The reason is that those who benefit the country and the people survive, those who harm the country and the people perish, and those who benefit the world and gain wealth live Those who harm the world and get poor will die, those who practice Qingming government affairs and stabilize the world will live, and those who are harsh and heavy taxes will perish.There is nothing better than the way of civil and martial arts and the learning of philosophers.Do you think so? 』

What Pang Shanmin said was not nonsense, but the tone.

Because the keynote principle of conflicting interests has been set before, there is naturally no problem for Pang Shanmin to continue to infer.

If someone disagrees at this time, it is equivalent to disagreeing with the things that have been agreed before. It is not just as simple as a slap in the face, but also to refute the general tone of Pang Shanmin's so-called "everything in the world has benefits". This general tone cannot be refuted.

Because this is the unity of opposites of contradictions.

If you think that the idea of ​​the unity of contradictions and opposites is Western learning, you will jump up with a groan and want to despise it, but in fact it is unnecessary.

Because it's the same if you change it to Huaxia.

In the Book of Changes, there are explanations of words such as yin and yang, rigidity and softness, size, distance, communication, up and down, good and bad, good and bad, good and bad, life and death, survival and death, interests and so on. In fact, they reveal the meaning of things from different angles. Opposites emphasize the opposition and unity of things, which also affirms the universality of contradictions and affirms the opposites and unity of contradictions.

Therefore, when Pang Shanmin started talking about this, everyone naturally couldn't refute it.

If everyone has no objection, then Pang Shanmin's theory is basically established.

Then Pang Shanmin smiled and threw a "bomb"...
