Chapter 1649

The early morning in the capital is very quiet, but the undercurrent is surging in Xiangzhou Taihe mansion.

An auditorium of Mingxin Academy in Fucheng is brightly lit. The auditorium that can accommodate 1000 people is only more than 100 people, which is slightly empty.

Members of the Restoration Society gathered here.

As early as several decades ago, the restoration society was established in secret. Its purpose was to make Xiangzhou return to Jingzhou. It was not officially announced until Jingzhou recovered Xiangzhou.

The first Zhou Ziren of the Restoration Society stood on the high platform of the auditorium. The light of the night pearl shone on the young man's face, making him more serious and determined, as if he had become a middle-aged man overnight.

Zhou Zi Ren said slowly, "I am different from many people. I think about it. I want to make it clear before today's action."

Hundreds of members of the restoration society looked at Zhou Ziren in surprise, but no one spoke and listened quietly to what he wanted to say.

"I always believe that every citizen of Xiangzhou has the right to choose whether to be a native of Jingguo or a native of Qingguo, even if it is semi saint, it shall not interfere!" said Zhou Zi Ren slowly.

Some people looked surprised, while others looked angry. They wanted to fight Zhou Ziren, thinking that Zhou Ziren was going to betray Jingguo.

Zhou Ziren looked at everyone's expressions, smiled and said, "my ideal world is a great harmony world that does not need officials or even semi saints to determine our future, destiny and holy way. There is a sentence in the book of rites, one of the most important classics of Confucianism, 'the trip of the great way is also the public, semi saints is the world, and you and I are also people in the world!"

People were more and more puzzled, but since Zhou Ziren came up with the famous words of Confucian classics, it meant that Zhou Ziren did not go astray and betrayed the purpose of the recovery society.

"Please give me some advice," said a young scholar.

"What is the avenue? The way of all things and the principle of all laws are the avenue. If the avenue appears and operates in the world, the world will be fair, just and public, which is the core of the Great Harmony of rites and transportation."

"Reading this chapter, we scholars should be excited and infected by our ancestors. However, if we calm down, think carefully and ask ourselves, is the avenue in the world now? After years of hard thinking, we understand a simple truth. Today, the avenue is not obvious, and the human race is struggling to pursue the holy road. Only when the holy road is exhausted can we see the Avenue! If the avenue is not implemented, it is difficult for the world to be public!"

The scholars present only felt that Zhou Ziren's words were enlightening. The people present were only children or scholars, and their literary position was not high. Reading the book of rites was only understood according to the literary meaning. Zhou Ziren acted against the literary meaning and stood out among his peers.

No one can refute Zhou Ziren's words.

Some scholars even nodded gently and recognized the saying that "the world is difficult for the public if the road is not done".

Zhou Zi Ren Dao: "It's hard for the public to be in the world, or it can be said that there are public and private in the world. How can we deal with ourselves? This goes back to what I said at the beginning. Every citizen of Xiangzhou can choose to be a Jingguo or a Qingguo. However, one can choose to be private, and one can choose to be public. As a scholar and a wise scholar, we should know that it's stupid to abolish private for public, and it's a crime to abolish public for private. Therefore, you and I must weigh public and private. "

When Zhou Ziren finished, more people nodded.

"Let's take the election of two countries as an example. First of all, even today, I always insist on one point. What I insist on is not to talk about it in the body of a scholar, because it is a blasphemy against sages. I use my most vulgar identity and slang. No matter what Qingguo and Jingguo, whoever gives me more benefits, I will favor which side! There is a curse that milk is mother, when we are It's a shame to be a mother, but it's not an unforgivable sin. "

Some students look ashamed because many people find that they sometimes think so.

"What we needed in childhood was milk, but now what? The bigger we are, the more selfish we are. As teenagers, we don't eat milk, but we have to eat enough, wear warm clothes, have a house to live in and read. When we are older, we have to have a skill to support ourselves or a family when we leave the private school. In fact, unless we go to the demon world and go to the human cities enslaved by the demon barbarians, Every Terran country can meet our basic requirements, and we will have a relatively stable space to grow. In terms of the lowest selfish desires, Jingguo is no different from Qingguo. "

Everyone listened carefully.

Zhou Ziren continued: "but the problem is that we have more selfish desires! We need not only a stable life, but also our skills. We need not only to compare with the people around us, but also with the people in other countries, but also with the creatures in the world! What do we need most in terms of food, clothing and warmth? Just say one thing, who can tell me?"

No one answered and many people were lost in thought.

After tens of breaths, Zhou Zi Ren stretched out his hand, pointed obliquely to the sky and said: "The rising channel! If someone wants to travel around the world, he needs a higher income and the opportunity to earn a lot of money. This opportunity is the rising channel; if someone wants to be a high-ranking official, he needs to get the quota of the imperial examination. He needs to participate in the imperial examination in a country or region with a large number of places. The imperial examination is our rising channel. I think you have already understood what I want to say , my selfishness tells myself that whoever can give me a channel to rise, whether it's Qingguo or Jingguo, I prefer which country. "

Before everyone had a chance to think, Zhou Zi Ren slapped the table and said in a loud voice: "When Xiangzhou belonged to the state of Qing, the jackals of the state of Qing blocked the way for us to rise. They regarded us as servants and slaves! This is the root of my anger. Xiangzhou people and Jingguo people were originally the same family. Xiangzhou was rich and was the first imperial examination state in Jingguo. Talents were like clouds and scholars were like rain. However, after Xiangzhou was occupied by the state of Qing, what we got was What? A large number of Qingguo people poured into Xiangzhou. The imperial examination quota in the holy courtyard was originally prepared for Xiangzhou people, but Qingguo people blocked it, so that most of the quota was taken away by Qingguo people. If Xiangzhou people hadn't assassinated Qingguo officials, Qingguo people would even allow non Xiangzhou people to participate in the imperial examination in Xiangzhou! "

"I don't ask much, just a fair opportunity. I hope everyone can step into the path of rise by virtue of hard work, sweat, wisdom and themselves. However, Qingguo people don't want to give! Now, Jingguo gives, or even gives a lot! Therefore, my selfish desire is biased towards Jingguo. Please note that I say 'bias', not' loyalty '. Yes, milk is a mother, but I also want face, dignity and reputation! At present, I only have reasons to favor Jingguo, and there is no excuse to be loyal to Jingguo. Because today's Jingguo can't make me proud or make me proud. "

There was silence under the stage. Many students only felt that their world had opened a new window.

Zhou Zi Ren said, "my private told me to lean towards Jingguo, so what about Gong?"
