”

Fu Nian was unmoved by this and responded with a cold snort, "Humph... It's rare that you still remember the classics of the sages!"

"In "The Analects of Confucius·Yan Yuan", Confucius said: The beauty of a gentleman is not the evil of a man, but the villain is."

"The Little Sage Village is a Confucian holy land and a model in the hearts of scholars all over the world." Fu Nian stood up at this time, walked back and forth, and continued with a serious tone, "If we don't spread the peaceful way of the sages, but instead incite people to rebel and cause trouble,

To shake the foundation of the country and slander the king's ways, isn't it just the evil of an adult and the behavior of a villain!"

"Confucius said: People do not do anything, and then they can do something."

"The way of a gentleman is to do something before you can do something!"

Fu Nian suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang Liang angrily, "You don't do what you said, is it disloyal and unfilial!?"

"Mencius taught with all his heart: the people are the most important, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important."

"The life and death of the people is the most important, and then there is the country and the king."

"Taking words out of context means knowing nothing!" Fu Nian rolled up his sleeves and said, "There is a saying in "Mencius Li Lou": If you don't follow the six rhythms, you can't correct the five tones; if you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle."

"If there is no ethical code and no social order, how can we talk about a socialist state? Without a socialist state, how can we protect the interests of the people? Without protection, how can we say 'the people are the most important'?"

"What Senior Brother said may be reasonable, but there seems to be one missing sentence... Without benevolent governance, the world cannot be governed peacefully." Zhang Liang replied leisurely, "Sages also have teachings: Only benevolent people should be in high positions. Being unbenevolent and being in high positions will spread the influence of others.

It is evil to others."

"Allowing an unkind person to occupy the throne is just allowing him to harm innocent people in the world."

"Hmph..." Fu Nian couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this. Zhang Liang's idea was indeed stubborn, but he was not so angry at this time.

Sitting back on the couch, Fu Nian responded, "Quan, then you know the importance; degree, then you know the length."

"The Master said: If you are not in your position, you will not seek government."

"Zifang, you should have known this on the first day you entered Little Sage's Villa. We only focus on studying knowledge and do not talk about military politics."

"As a scholar, you should not judge your own king casually."

"Be sensitive to things but be cautious in what you say. You must know that there is no way to gain or misfortune, but people can only bring it to themselves. These are troubled times!"

"A gentleman does not blame Heaven, nor blame others. People will insult themselves, and others will insult them."

These few words are not so much a debate as Fu Nian's earnest advice to his junior brother.

He is aware of the blood feud between Zhang Liang and the Empire, but there are some things that must not be crossed, otherwise it will inevitably lead to irreparable consequences.

Zhang Liang asked excitedly at this time, "Then what have the people in the world done to hurt themselves to fall into such danger?"

"The people you call in danger are because they fight against the empire and try to drag more people into the war!"

"A country with thousands of ways of teaching should be respectful and trustworthy, be frugal and love others, but now that the world is so big and has a territory of thousands of miles, what is the purpose of an empire!?"

"How can a king be qualified if he cannot cherish his own people?"

Fu Nian stared at Zhang Liang with burning eyes and did not rush to refute.

However, Zhang Liang was very excited at this time and continued to talk passionately:

"The Qin Dynasty merged with the six kingdoms. Millions of soldiers and civilians were directly killed or injured by the war, and countless people were indirectly injured and displaced!"

"Perhaps, unifying the world and bringing peace to the world can bring greater peace. All this is just a necessary price."

"But... what happens after that?"

"Build the Great Wall in the north, conquer Baiyue in the south, build imperial mausoleums, build palaces, punish the prisoners without reckoning, and engage in large-scale wars. How many people in the world can find peace?"

"The emperor is unkind and cannot protect the world; the princes are unkind and cannot protect the country."

"I only know one, but not the other!" Fu Nian interrupted Zhang Liang, "Do you remember the last two sentences!?"

"If the officials are unkind, they will not protect the ancestral temple; if the common people are unkind, they will not protect the four bodies."

"Do you know that everything has a price!"

Zhang Liang closed his eyes and replied slowly, "Life is what I want; righteousness is also what I want. You cannot have both, and you must sacrifice life for righteousness."

Bang!

Fu Nian angrily slapped the tabletop again, and the solid wood tabletop trembled violently, becoming loose and shaking visibly to the naked eye.

"Enough!"

"Do you know what you are talking about!"

"You want to sacrifice your life for justice!?"

"If...you can't have your cake and eat it too."

This time, even Yan Lu couldn't accept it anymore and winked at Zhang Liang repeatedly, but the other party simply kept his eyes closed and refused to take any blame.

"So you have to pay the price with your life!?"

"Is it your own life that you don't care about, or the life of the entire Little Sage Village?" Fu Nian's voice was filled with a hint of exhaustion and disappointment.

"..." Zhang Liang only responded with silence at this time.

"Heaven, earth, king, relatives, and teachers are the ethical principles that cannot be overthrown by Confucian disciples of our generation."

"There are differences between kings and elders, and there is order between elders and younger ones. But what you want to do now is to drag the entire Confucianism into the quagmire and bring disaster."

"Zifang, unlike others, you have already paid a huge price, why are you still stubborn?"

Zhang Liang opened his eyes at this time and asked, "I am not the only one who paid the price, and I am not the only one who is still stubborn. Have you ever thought about it, senior brother?"
