Duke Jinping and his courtiers feasted and drank, and Nai Ran sighed: "Mo Le is a man, but his words are not against him." Shi Kuang sat in front of him, and the qin bumped into him. The male cloak avoids, and the piano is bad at the wall. Gong Yue: "Taishi who collided?" Shi Kuang said, "There are villains who speak on the side of the present, so they collide with them." "Widows also." Shi Kuangyue: "Dumb! The words of the non-monarch also. Left and right, please get rid of it, the public said: "Release it, think that the widow is a precept." ”
Duke Jinping and his courtiers feasted and drank happily, and said with deep feeling: "There is no happier person than being a monarch, only his words are no one dares to disobey." "Straight and wrong, positive and Yu" will always be vividly expressed at this moment: Shi Kuang picked up the piano to bump into Jin Pinggong, Jin Pinggong pulled open his shirt to avoid, the qin hit the wall, Jin Pinggong said: Taishi, who did you bump into? Shi Kuang said: Today there was a little person talking next to me, so I bumped into him. Ping Gong said: That's me. Shi Kuang said: Dumb! This is not what a monarch should say! Before Jin Pinggong could show anger, those around Pinggong begged Shi Kuang to be punished. Maybe their reason is: Shi Kuang is on the offense! However, he habitually forgot what Ping Gong said, which was the face of Yu Chen, a rather representative face.
Confucius also received Shi Kuang and had great respect for Shi Kuang, which also stemmed from Shi Kuang's noble character. Many people today may be due to the contamination of modern education, always think that history is a mess, and historical figures, especially some classic things, they are more contemptuous, dismissive, so that they ignore. Perhaps it is the one-sided acceptance of historical knowledge in recent decades, for the real history and culture, in the modern thinking of many people is a blank! There are many people who are ignorant and fearless! And they are also rhetorical, and there are many reasons, but those reasons do not stand up to scrutiny.
Remember Zi Lu asked the matter jun, zi said: "Do not deceive, but commit crimes." Confucius said: Do not deceive the monarch, but you can make a direct statement. This should be in line with Shi Kuang's approach. Now many people use it to attack Confucius is Zunjun, and it is not wrong for Zunjun to maintain a certain hierarchical relationship, but they do not know that Confucius is not blindly obedient and foolish! His premise is: the king makes the subject respect, and the subject is loyal! And now there are more people than all the dynasties! Just a small unit, a trivial social unit, has also become unrecognizable, just a little bit of fly-headed small profits, has made people not people, and more interests and temptations, really all-consuming!
Fortunately, the protagonist We just mentioned, Jin Pinggong, is still a man who understands, and does not accept the instigation of those courtiers, but knows that he is wrong and changes, And Pinggong said: "Excuse me, just take this matter as a warning for me to say the wrong thing!" ”
Lu Dinggong also asked Confucius: "If you lose the state with one word, are there any?" Confucius said to him, "Words cannot be said if they are several." The saying of the man is: 'Give no pleasure to be a king, but only his words and not to disobey them.' 'If it is good and not against it, is it not good?' If it is not good and it is not violated, is it not almost a word and loses the country? ”
Like an official, he represents power and majesty, and reaps power and wealth. Those who seek their own government in their position are acceptable, and those who are in their position and do not seek their own government are unqualified, even more a scourge, and even more a calamity to the country and the people.
When the monarch is afraid of losing his position, so are those who are officials. What the rich and noble ask for is not the way, what they have not received, what they have not gained, what they have gained, what they have gained, what they have lost, what they have lost, they will do whatever they want! Gentleman: The rich and noble do not receive it by their way, nor do they do it. And now it is: wealth and wealth are in danger, as long as you can get rich, personality can be degraded, morality can be trampled, clever words, orders, and feet can be used as a tool to obtain wealth and wealth! This is a portrayal of some of today's officials. When reading history, we should take history as a mirror and remove its dross to preserve its essence, but many people today do the opposite, sucking up the dross to the point of being despicable, doing wrong things for others, and grabbing whatever they want.
Shun has the world, choose from the crowd, lift gao pottery, and the unkind are far away!
Tang has the world, choose from the crowd, lift Yi Yin, the unkind are far away!
The way of literature and martial arts has not fallen to the ground, and there is no shortage of scholars who read books, but people's weak strength is scattered like a puddle, and if they can one day merge into a river, and then converge into the sea, they can show the beauty of morality!
