Heavenly Martial Arts - 500. Chapter 495
Mencius was dressed up as a young Confucian student. He looked weak, but his face was full of vicissitudes and haggards. Facing Wang Hui’s question, he handed his hands and said: “Wei is already the world’s most powerful country. I dare not say anything to teach, but I heard that the king was preparing to send troops to the State of Qin.
“Oh, I don’t know what the master’s opinion is?” When Meng Ke mentioned the matter of sending troops to the State of Qin, a cloud of haze flashed in Wang Wei Hui’s heart. Although it was the first time I saw him, he had also heard of Meng Ke’s style of promoting benevolent governance.
The so-called benevolent government began with Confucius, pays attention to Buddhism and the people, is friendly with neighboring countries, and does not build troops. Such a doctrine is naturally worthy of advocacy by the emperor in the peaceful and heyday to stabilize the world, but it is as ridiculous as Song Xianggong in this chaotic world.
Confucius originally advocated this doctrine, which caused it to not be reused by other countries throughout his life, so he could only go home and study.
But now and then, during the Spring and Autumn Period, although the wars were still in full force, but they were not to the point of tearing their skins, they are now the naked powerhouses respected. After offending, even though he expected what he wanted to say, he didn’t show any color on the face, pretending to ask for advice humbly.
Meng Ke glanced at him, the vicissitudes of life in his eyes added a point, and then he said: “Wei is the world’s most powerful country. If you want to come to Qin, you will not dare to take the initiative to offend it. The end of the battle is because Wei started…”
“What about it?” Pang Juan interrupted suddenly.
Meng Ke glanced at him and said: “Wei is a great country in the Central Plains, adhering to the Chinese orthodoxy, and should set an example for the princes of the world. Nowadays, there are turbulent times and wars in various countries. The people do not have a living, and they need a big country to take the lead. It is unrighteous to conquer Qin. This move will make the princes of the world even more unscrupulous, and the legacy is not superficial. Therefore, Meng Ke is here to plead with the king to have mercy on the people of the world, withdraw the order of attacking the Qin, carry out the benevolence, and the virtue of the world, before he can become a generation hegemon!”
“This…” As soon as Meng Ke’s words came out, not only Wang Hui, but also the civil and military men of the Manchu dynasty also showed embarrassment on their faces.
At this moment, a loud laugh resounded through the hall, attracting everyone’s attention.
But Zhang Yi, dressed in black, smiled and said: “I heard about Mencius’s name a long time ago, and today I saw it was just a foolish man with a false name. Your benevolent government is even more ridiculous, but it is the way to ruin fruit and defeat. How dare you? Show me laughable and generous?”
“Who are you?” Facing Zhang Yi’s sarcasm, Meng Ke turned his head and asked without changing his face.
Someone replied: “This is my famous scholar in Wei, Zhang Yi from Guigu.”
Meng Ke nodded: “It turned out to be a person from Guigu, disrespectful. I don’t know where did your Excellency say that Meng Ke’s benevolent governance makes laughter and generosity?”
Zhang Yi sneered: “The Song State is a great country in the world, and Xiang Gong is one of the five hegemons. The implementation of your so-called benevolence and righteousness is the hand of the defeat of the Chu State, the death of the country, and the laughter of eternal laughter. Does this still explain benevolent governance? Is there a drawback of the way?”
Meng Ke said: “This is not the case. Qi Huangong appointed pipes, followed the way of benevolence and righteousness, respected the king and resisted the barbarian, so that he could join the vassals and become the first hegemon in the Spring and Autumn Period. How can it not be the achievement of a benevolent political country?”
Zhang Yi smiled and said: “Huan Gong’s achievement of the No. 1 Hegemon in the Spring and Autumn Period is due to the work of Guanzi. What is the connection with this benevolence? Otherwise, why after Huan Gong, Qi is no longer in the past, otherwise, why is it my Dawei who dominates the world now?”
Meng Ke was silent.
Zhang Yi said: “Today, the king first ascends the throne, fighting for several generations of martyrs, the country is prosperous, there is no country to fight for, and the three Jins will be recovered during the holidays, the Central Plains will be eliminated, the Siyi will be eliminated, and the world will be unified! The karma is comparable to the merits of the Three Emperors. It is such a great situation, but Master Mencius, you have misled me, Dawei, with a benevolent government. You are really unpredictable!”
“You!” Meng Ke looked at Zhang Yi coldly, and he couldn’t say anything. Although he is also an eloquent person, after all, he is based on scholarship, which is much worse than Zhang Yi, who relies entirely on his mouth to eat. What’s more, Confucianism is indeed incompatible with this troubled world, and he cannot refute it.
At this time, Zhang Yi bowed and bowed to King Wei Hui: “The scholar Zhang Yi, the first master of Guigu, has obtained the skill of vertical and horizontal, and has the ability to control the world. If the king uses me, he will dominate the world within 20 years. , Accomplish the great cause of eternity.”
Looking at Zhang Yi, Wang Hui’s eyes showed hesitation. For one thing, he didn’t believe Zhang Yi’s big words, and secondly, it was not easy to save Meng Ke’s face. He hesitated and asked, “I don’t know Zhang Yi, what you said about the way of verticality and horizontality. What is the theory?”
Before Zhang Yi had time to speak, Meng Ke preemptively said: “The king doesn’t know something. The so-called vertical and horizontal faction is a cunning man who originated in the late Spring and Autumn Period. Before it was Zhang Meng talked about lobbying Han Wei and killing Zhibo, then like a rhino head lobbying Yan Qin. Now there are Zhang Yi and Su Qin’s generations, but how many of them are latecomers? These people approached Qin Muchu, saying unreasonable and acting without rules; they said that this country has one claim, and that other country has one claim, but there is no definite opinion. The name is capable of capturing high-ranking officials. For example, concubine makeup is used to please the master, the master likes red, but it is red, and the master likes white and white; if the master likes fat, he becomes a gluttonous person, and the solar eclipse increases by nine cows. The owner likes to have a thin waist, he will not hesitate to practice self-mutilation, cut meat and hunger strike; his rhetoric is pleasing to the eyes and the eyes, and its mechanism is ingenious, and it is enough to bad people’s minds! This generation of subordinates is originally a great harm to the world, if the king uses it Zhang Yi, don’t you be ashamed of celebrities in the world?”
Although Mencius spoke plausibly, the faces of the emperors and ministers of the State of Wei were a bit unsightly. He only felt that he was too mean. Even Zhang Mengtan, the hero of the “Three Factions” who died for nearly a hundred years, also criticized Zhang Mengtan. Wei Guoren’s face. So they all looked forward to seeing how Zhang Yi answered.
After a while, Zhang Yi smiled and said: “I have heard of Mencius’s erudition and eloquence for a long time. When I saw it today, it was a well-deserved reputation.”
“Guo Shi guards the road, why don’t the innocent people comment on it?” Mencius replied coldly.
Suddenly, Zhang Yi burst into laughter, and then suddenly confounded his smile and teased: “A beggar old man who is panicking like a beggar dog, how can he talk about it? It’s clearly my politician who has risen up. You beggar old man has a sour heart. Not surprising.”
As soon as this remark came out, Mencius’s face suddenly turned pale!
He traveled to many princes in his life. He always rebuked others, and others respected him. Even if he was not used, he would treat him with courtesy. How could anyone dare to denounce him directly as a “beggar old scholar”? This is even more degrading than Confucius’s self-deprecating “panic like a bereaved dog” in the past!
Mencius was still in time for an attack, but Zhang Yi kan said: “Horizontal and horizontal strategists are trying to pursue the great cause of the king and hegemony. They are naturally loyal to the country. White but seeks red, needs fat but seeks thinness, needs to be thin but seeks fat, how is it different from the traitor of subjugation? The so-called unreasonable words for what he wants, is precisely my strategist’s eclectic plan for the loyalty of the country from time to time! What is the shame of being a concubine and being loyal to others? But it is not like Confucius Meng who travels to the princes and talks about the world, regardless of his country’s conditions, and insists on selling his own personal goods. The bullshit’s benevolence has been said for decades. There is no one to buy, but they scold all over the world, like a virgin prostitute, isn’t it even more ridiculous?”
“The virgin prostitute? Wonder!” Minister Wei couldn’t help but applaud.
This prostitute virgin originally said that a woman in Lu State had sold herself many times, but there was no man who wanted it. In the end, Zhuhuang was still a virgin. Under the resentment in her heart, she stood at the door every day, and when she saw the young and beautiful young woman, she insulted her to vent her resentment.
Zhang Yi used this to describe Meng Ke, but it was ironic that he had traveled around the world for many years, but no country paid attention to his benevolence and righteousness. Like the man’s old and pearly prostitute, he couldn’t help but scold him when he saw a doctrine that was more popular than him. .
When he heard the words, Rao was so angry with Meng Ke’s air that his face exuded terrible pressure, covering Zhang Yi.
Although Zhang Yi is a disciple of Guiguzi and can speak eloquently, but his own cultivation level has not transitioned to two days of calamity, where can he withstand the pressure of a master such as Meng Ke, and he was immediately pressured all over. Sweat, trembling, but there was no fear in his eyes, and he asked loudly: “Just now the master said that he would govern the country with benevolence and righteousness. Now, is it necessary to slay my Zhang Yi with force? If this is the case, that wish With the death of oneself, uncover the mask of your hypocritical generation to the world!”
In the hall, the emperor of the State of Wei was silent watching this scene. Although Wei’s strength is strong, it is impossible to use some of the background information, it is impossible to be a strong man with the highest immortality. Although Wei Hui has some appreciation for Zhang Yi, he will not use Wei’s hole cards for him alone.
However, I wanted to come to Meng Ke as a well-known saint in the world, so I didn’t want to kill Zhang Yi on the spot because of a bit of quarrel, and I wanted to teach him at most.
So thinking, including Zhang Yi’s colleague Pang Juan, not a single one of the emperors and ministers of the State of Wei in the palace spoke for him.
After a while, Meng Ke coldly looked at an impassioned Zhang Yi, and sighed: “The world is chaotic, rituals and music collapse, and there is no righteousness. I don’t know when I will be when Confucianism and Taoism traveled in the world. ”
Wei Ran sighed, he dissipated the pressure from his body and stood sternly on the hall, his face was full of compassion and helplessness, and his heart was even more sad.
He now finally understands the feelings of Confucius in the past. He has no time to rectify the world and restore the general purpose, but he is powerless and not understood by the world. How desolate and helpless to walk on this lonely road alone?
“The scholars do something, do not do something! Even if there is no end to this road, I will go on. The spirit of Confucianism and Taoism will be passed on forever. When the world is peaceful, it will be the time when my Confucianism is prosperous!” With determination in his eyes, Meng Ke glanced at Zhang Yi and said, “Although you are rude, but Meng Ke doesn’t want to care about you, go!”
Zhang Yi stood up and paid homage to King Wei Hui and the mansion of civil and military affairs, and finally bowed to Meng Ke: “Master Meng admires Zhang Yi a lot, and your knowledge and cultivation make Zhang Yi Gaoshan stand up. What I said just now is what Zhang Yi has in mind. The misunderstanding of the world’s knowledge of aspect and aspect is the reason why the misunderstanding of the theory of vertical and horizontal is open. It is not aimed at the master. If there is something wrong, I hope to forgive me. After this time, Zhang Yi decided to leave the country of Wei and go to the road of Hong Kong in a foreign country. .”
With that said, Zhang Yi had already flew into the sky without waiting for King Wei Hui to stay.
Seeing his distant back, Meng Ke sighed again, and said to King Wei Hui: “My lord, I guess you won’t listen to Meng Ke’s advice, but please think twice. Fighting for supremacy with warriors is no small way, only benevolence and virtue. A teacher of great righteousness and a good example from the sky can only accomplish the career of civil and military affairs. Meng Ke has since said goodbye.”
King Wei Hui was in a hurry at the time, Zhang Yi had already left, if Meng Ke was allowed to go, wouldn’t he have lost his wife and broke down today?
“Wait, although the lone does not need the Master’s study, but I also hope that the master will stay in the Wei State to study and promote Confucianism. Qi State has a Jixia Academy and gathers the studies of a hundred schools. The lonely king is willing to build a larger school than that. The palace is only for the master.”
Meng Ke shook his head, and laughed aloud: “The king’s beauty and Meng Ke’s heart is understood, but I already understand that Confucianism is not in this troubled world, and I am determined to go back and retreat. I only study knowledge and don’t participate in any affairs. Please forgive me.”
King Wei Hui hurriedly said: “The Master’s words are wrong. It is a good thing that you want to study academically. I, Dawei, is the number one power in the world. Daliang gathers students from all directions. If you can stay, help the lonely king teach them. Not beautiful?”
Meng Ke shook his head: “The more my Confucianism is in difficult places, the more it can be truly accomplished. I don’t need the king’s high-ranking officials and nobles. Meng Ke says goodbye!” After saying the last word, Meng Ke’s figure disappeared. There is only a void in the place.
Upon seeing this scene, Wei Hui couldn’t help but his face was pale.
The general Pang Juan then went forward and said: “The king does not need to be disappointed. I, Dawei, was originally the number one power in the world. One more Meng Ke is at best the icing on the cake. Now he is unwilling to stay, and there is no loss to me, Dawei. As long as the end is here, it’s not a matter of time to sweep the world.”
“Well, I will rely on General Pang from now on.” Wang Hui looked a little better, then sat down in distress, and solemnly ordered: “The original plan remains unchanged. To conquer the Kingdom of Qin, we must completely wipe out this country of barbarians that has always been behind me, and lay the foundation for the future unification of the Three Jins and the defeat of the Central Plains.”
“My King Shengming!” The officials knelt down and called Shengming, but the commanded general Pang Juan showed a smile on his face.
