The Jade Emperor Told Me to Live-stream! Chapter 572: Sage of Confucianism
Zou Yan threw out the Five Virtues in the debate with Yan Hui, but was caught by the Confucianists.
Not only doctrine, even in an ordinary debate, if the opponent grabs a handle or makes a mistake, and attacks this point, you may be killed, let alone on such an important occasion.
Zou Yan regrets endlessly, but there is no way to remedy it. He has already spoken, and has been preaching such thoughts in front of the king for a long time.
If Zou Yan now says that my statement is wrong, he will not only face the loss of a large number of students, but will also completely lose the trust of the king, and he will not be famous.
So Dang Zigong’s voice "Confucianism wants to teach sentient beings in Qi State and Yin-Yang School, but also ask Master Zou for permission" sounded in his ears. Not only did Zou Yan not feel disgusted or strongly opposed, but instead gave birth to A trace of gratitude comes.
This is the charm of language. The same language will have different effects on different occasions, at different times, or in front of different people, and may even be different.
If Zigong said so before, Zou Yan would even dismiss it and mock it.
But now it’s not the case. Zou Yan felt that Zi Gong’s voice was so sweet, like a natural sound.
Because he knew that Zi Gong had this question, it showed the attitude of Confucianism.
As long as the Confucianists do not seize this huge loophole, it is equivalent to letting him go, Zou Yan, or even the Yin-Yang school, which makes him not grateful.
Zou Yan looked around with a guilty conscience.
Zigong chuckled lightly: "Master Zou, don't read it. The secret technique I use comes out of my mouth. You have your ears, and no third person will know it."
Zou Yan is also a very open minded person. He said in his heart: "This is the end of the matter. It is meaningless for me to insist. If Confucianism is not allowed, our Yin-Yang school will develop further."
Thinking of this, Zou Yan's thoughts have also broadened, so he stretched his brows, nodded heavily, and agreed to Zi Gong's proposal.
Seeing that Zou Yan agreed, Zi Gong continued on behalf of Yan Hui: "Master Zou, big brother, I feel that the five virtues have always been said to be different. The heaven and the earth are one, and the two instruments are divided into yin and yang, but yin and yang There must be a sense between them. Just like the five virtues said at the beginning, the king must be a person with the virtue of heaven to be qualified to serve, and the person with the virtue of heaven must be dispatched by the emperor. The so-called kingship is granted by the gods. Induction is also."
After hearing this, Zou Yan was very inspired, and said: "The five virtues in the five elements all evolve from yin and yang. Indeed, the king must be born with a sense of heaven and earth and be favored by the gods."
Zou Yan finally said: "In this debate, both sides have benefited a lot, and both have made progress. I deeply feel the need for school exchanges, and I also invite Confucian masters to come to Qi to teach Confucianism and pass on scriptures."
Yan Hui also said: "Master Zou's words are reasonable, a single flower is not a spring, and a hundred flowers bloom in the garden. Please also send masters from the Yin Yang School to come to our country to learn skills."
In an atmosphere of harmony, friendliness, and joy, the debate between Confucianism and the Yin-Yang family ended in joy.
This was unexpected and broke many people’s glasses.
School disputes are sometimes more cruel than national disputes. National disputes are at least the destruction of the country, and school disputes sometimes even wish to dig the tomb of the opponent's Patriarch to relieve the hatred.
A harmonious debate like the Confucianism and the Yin-Yang family is seldom useful. As for agreeing to the other party to preach in one's own territory, there is no one in the world. I haven't heard of it now, only this one.
When Yan Hui and Zigong happily returned to the apricot altar and told Confucius about the matter, Confucius was very pleased and said: "You two performed very well in this debate. It is very gratifying to be a teacher. You should remember First work."
Yan Hui smiled honestly and said: "Sir, the disciple has something unclear, please enlighten me."
Confucius looked at Yan Hui with a smile, and asked: "Do you want to ask why you are preventing you from directly arguing about the Yin-Yang school, and why don't you overthrow it?"
Yan Hui said dumbly: "The disciple does not understand."
Confucius looked at Zi Gong and asked: "Zigong, do you have anything to say about your brother?"
Zigong knew that this was Confucius thinking about himself, so he thought for a while and said: "Master, is this the same as our business?"
Seeing Confucius looking at him with a smile, Zigong mustered up the courage to continue: "The mall can never say that there is no opponent. Even if you beat one, there will be another one. Moreover, the mall is about multiple friends and multiple paths. , Everything can’t be done, there is room for maneuver."
Confucius praised the authentic saying: "This is the truth. How many schools of thought exist in the entire Xuanhuang world, do we want to refute each of them to perfection? This is impossible and unnecessary. Moreover, our Confucian school is also Start-ups also have many shortcomings. It needs to be compatible and inclusive, and learn from each other to make up for the shortcomings in order to go further."
Yan Hui understood what Confucius meant, and nodded frequently, but in the end he was still a little straightforward: "Sir, the disciple still has one more question I want to ask him. It’s okay to make more friends, but he didn’t ask the necessary friends directly. Come home?"
Confucius saw that Yan Hui said implicitly, he laughed and said, "Yan Hui also knows how to humor, it's rare."
Confucius continued: "Everything has its inside and its face. This time our Confucianism can enter the preaching of Qi State is the biggest gain. This is our way, so the face must be left to Master Zou, otherwise the Yin-Yang school How can we stay in Qi? What is the point of our victory in the debate? Besides, as a Confucian, we must have confidence. Our Confucianism is the most suitable for this world, and it is also the biggest learning in the world. Are you afraid of any school or anyone’s provocation?"
Yan Hui bowed and said: "The disciple has been taught~IndoMTL.com~ I have contributed a lot to this point, and I will learn more in the future."
Confucius lifted Yan Hui up and said: "Yan Hui, you are very pleased for being a teacher. But you are different from Zi Gong. This is a distinction of disposition, and there is no need for perfection in everything. Only by doing what you should do according to your heart will you have more room for improvement."
Yan Hui hurriedly said: "Mr. educated, the disciple was taught."
Since then, Yan Hui, based on his heart, diamond Confucianism, has achieved the existence of the sub-sage of Confucianism second only to Confucius.
Even if some amazing figures such as Mencius, Xunzi, Dong Zhongshu, etc. appeared in the Confucian School, no one would dare to say that they surpassed Yan Hui in understanding Confucianism.
After Yan Hui's question, Zi Gong asked: "Sir, how did you anticipate the situation at the controversy and prepare the corresponding tips? Why are there some sayings that you have never heard before."
Confucius smiled and looked at Yan Hui, Zigong and the other disciples who looked admired, but did not rush to answer.
It is impossible for him to answer: "I am from a later generation, and I have a good understanding of the ideas of a hundred schools of thought, and know the advantages and disadvantages of each school."
As a teacher, sometimes you still have to behave unpredictably.
Confucius said: "The Avenue of Saints, do you know?"
Zi Lu said: "We know that there are saints in this world, but how do we ordinary people understand the Avenue of Saints."
Confucius said: "Don't belittle yourself. Confucianism is the doctrine that refers directly to the avenue of sages. As long as you have cultivated, you will naturally have all kinds of magical powers like you are a teacher. Trivial things like tips are not a problem."
"What? Saints Avenue?"
"It's impossible!"
Confucius finally suppressed the surprised voice of many disciples: "How can you be a teacher? You guys practice hard. As for success or failure, it depends on your chance."
