Face Changer: Ugly Transformed

Chapter 11 Accepting Disciples ([-])

"It's still based on the teacher's assessment." Master Lin said confidently. He has always been very confident in his own pair of treasures.

Mr. Liu nodded and asked, "What is the core thought of Confucius?"

The second young lady Yafu said: "Brother is the leader, first please!"

Master Lin couldn't help showing a hint of pride in his eyes. It is extraordinary for an eight-year-old child to be so filial.

The young master Lin Hong clasped his hands and replied: "Disciple Lin Hong, pay homage to Master!"

Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "I didn't agree to accept you as an apprentice, it depends on your talent!"

"Confucius's thought centered on 'benevolence', and he believed that 'benevolence' meant 'loving others'. He put forward arguments such as 'Do not do to others what you do not want yourself to do to yourself'." Lin Hong answered with sonorous words and a demeanor at a young age. Like a grown-up.

Mr. Liu said again: "Just now I heard that Miss respects elder brother. I don't know if Confucius advocated this kind of morality?"

Yafu said: "He advocates the way of 'loyalty and forgiveness', and thinks that the implementation of 'benevolent government' should be governed by 'propriety': 'restraining oneself and returning to propriety is benevolence'."

Mr. Liu said again: "Young master, in a country, the monarch should be the leader. Why did Mencius say, 'The people are the most important, the society is second, and the monarch is the least'?"

Yafu was about to speak, but Mr. Liu said: "Miss, you don't need to answer, this is the way of governing the country, women don't need to understand."

Yafu nodded and stepped aside.Lin Hong was about to answer, when suddenly Qingqing rushed up, she didn't know where the courage came from, and said: "Sir, what you said is wrong."

Everyone was anxious, afraid that Qingqing would offend Mr. Liu.Mr. Liu, on the other hand, looked at this "ugly girl" with great interest: "Oh? How can you see it?"

Qingqing said: "Dare to ask, sir, Mencius's 'The people are the most important, the community is second, and the ruler is the lightest.' Does it mean that the people should be put first, the country second, and the ruler last?"

Master Lin wanted to stop Qingqing from speaking, but now he saw that she lacked the timidity of talent just now, and Mr. Liu also had an expression of encouraging her to continue talking, so he was inconvenient to say more.

Qingqing said again: "Mencius believes that the monarch should take care of the people first, and the ruler must protect the rights of the people. Mencius agrees that if the monarch is innocent, the people have the right to overthrow the regime."

Mr. Liu said: "Then what does this have to do with the way women can't rule the country?"
