Chapter 76 Similarities and Differences Between the Country and the World
"General! Please leave quickly! As long as you are still here, you can form a strong army to defend the majesty of our country!" Shi Qian begged with his hands in hand. Xian Ye sincerely begged: "Yes! General, the world can do without it.
We cannot live without generals!" Not only that, many generals also asked Anguo to leave quickly.
"No!" General An Guo shook his head and said: "You are loyal and courageous people gathered from all over the world. Unlike me, I am an incurable person who has already stepped into the gate of hell! Because I am highly skilled.
Covering the Lord, covering the Lord, is better than shaking the Lord! Do you know?"
As soon as An Guo said that he wanted to kill the Lord, knowledgeable people shook their heads. Everyone knew what it meant. An Guo continued to say helplessly: "The Lord is jealous and his life will not last long! In addition, the treacherous officials want to eat my bones."
Even if I can escape
If I go out, I will be punished with the crime of mourning the army! It is impossible to escape death! Besides, if I abandon my good brothers who have fought for decades and live alone, I would be worse off than dead! Alas! Come on! Come on! If a man dies, he will die.
How sad?"
"General..." As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless. Anguo looked at everyone and said: "Since my death is inevitable, what I hope is that you can live. As long as you live, you will have fire, and you can keep China standing.
fall!"
Xian Da shouted and said: "General, what is the use of protecting a fatuous king who is so foolish and unreasonable and uses treacherous ministers to murder his loyal and good people and plunge the country into dire straits? Why don't we rebel! This is not the case for generals who work together to serve the people.
Is it the welfare of all people in the world?"
"Yes! Rebel! Rebel!" All the soldiers have had enough of this cowardice, and no longer want to serve for this foolish king who doesn't regard the warriors who have fought for him through life and death as a human being. If you don't treat me as a human being,
Why do you still let me serve you? As a loyal Chinese man, how have you always treated me, and what attitude will I give you in return? I will treat you as a countryman, and I will repay you as a countryman!
Qian also advised: "General, Mencius once said, 'The king regards his ministers as his limbs, and his ministers regard him as his belly and heart; his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, and his ministers regard him as his countrymen; his ministers regard him as dung, and his ministers regard him as a bandit!'
(Note) "Book of Rites" says that Duke Mu of Lu asked Yu Zisi, 'Is it an ancient practice for ministers who have been released to return to their homeland to mourn for their original monarch?'"
"Zi Si replied: 'In ancient times, virtuous monarchs followed etiquette when appointing people and also followed etiquette when dismissing people. Therefore, ministers who were repelled knew that they were being repelled, so they came back to mourn for the old monarch.
Today's monarchs, when appointing people, are like holding them on their knees, and when they are repelling people, it is like throwing them into the abyss. It is already good that those who are repelled do not become the masterminds of attacking their own country. How can there be any reason to return to their own country?
Where is the old king in mourning?'"
After illustrating this story, Qian couldn't help but glance at An Guo. He just wanted to persuade An Guo through this story. Now he expressed his inner thoughts: "General, from this we can see that since the foolish king does not treat the general as dirt, why should the general be loyal to the end?
?Reverse! Reverse!”
(Note*: The original text of this sentence in the "Book of Rites. Under the Tan Gong" written by Dai Sheng of the Western Han Dynasty: Duke Mu of Lu asked Yu Zisi: "Rebel for the old king, ancient?" He replied: "The ancient one.
A gentleman treats people with courtesy when he comes in, and treats people with courtesy when he retreats. Therefore, there are also the etiquette of the old monarchs who rebelled. Today's gentleman, when entering someone, you will kneel down, and when you retreat, you will fall into the abyss. Don't be a military leader, that's not a good thing.
, why should he rebel and submit?" What is this sentence? Later, two scholars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty said: Zheng Xuanyun: "It is said that the exiled ministers do not obey the old king. When the military leader comes to attack, he is called the Rong leader." Lu Zhi said.
: "Rong means soldiers. If a ruler does not treat his ministers with courtesy and does not raise his troops to punish them, then it is a good thing. How can he resist and submit?" Fan Tonghui, Tongjia.)
Shi Qian's words made everyone nod, and then "anti! Anti!" were echoed again and again. Anguo was silent, with a painful expression on his face, and asked: "Do you know what is to protect the country and what is to protect the world?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Do you know why Anguo said this, to protect the country and protect the world? Xian asked: "General, isn't the country the same as the world? Isn't the world the same as the country?"
Anguo asked back: "When the world is torn apart, aren't there several countries in the world? What is a country in that world, and how can a country be a world? Throughout the ages, kings have often regarded their family and the world as their country, and the country is the world from time to time, and from time to time it is the world.
Not for the world! Why?"
Everyone still didn't understand. An Guo expressed his opinion again: "You may think that I am foolish and loyal, but you don't know that I have been thinking about this for a long time. What I protect is not the country of the foolish king, but the world! The whole world of the people.
Ah!" "Ah?" Everyone still didn't understand. Just now, he said that the state is the world, and the state is not the world. What does it mean?
Anguo complained truthfully: "What is the world? The people are the world! The people who protect the world protect the world! It cannot be compared with protecting the king! Throughout the ages, there are those who subjugate the country and those who subjugate the world. What is the difference between the subjugation of the country and the subjugation of the world?
?”
"The answer is that changing the surname Yi to the name of the country is to destroy the country; when all benevolence and love are lost, the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period is no longer there, meat-eaters have become like "animals", leading "animals" to eat people, and people have reached a stage where "people will eat each other"
, is the so-called death of the world!"
"Now that the world is in trouble, we should correct it with benevolence and morality, not to protect the country of some meat-eaters, but to protect the people of the world! If the people of the world are not allowed to eat and the government is not allowed to live,
The world has fallen and the people are in trouble, so what’s the use of protecting the country?”
"Therefore, it is not impossible to adapt to the current situation, adapt to the situation, abandon the country and protect the world! If the people are there, the world will be there, and the country can still be reborn in another way! It doesn't matter who you are named by, what is important is that it allows the people to live.
Live a good life! So abandoning the country does not necessarily mean abandoning the world, and protecting the country does not necessarily mean protecting the world!"
"Not necessarily?" All the soldiers saw the word "not necessarily" in Anguo's words. It is not necessarily interesting for Anguo to use it, because he went on to say, why would he use "not necessarily".
Anguo talked eloquently: "The reason why I use "protecting the country" does not necessarily mean protecting the world is that when the country depends on the people, provides people with livelihood, and allows the people to live and work in peace and contentment, then the country is not only a country of one surname and meat eaters, but also a country of ordinary people.
, the country of the people of the world, therefore, such a country is the world, and the world is the country! Protecting the country means protecting the world! We will die to protect it!"
"Only when a country loses the support of the people and does not allow the people to live, it is a country of tyranny, not a country of ordinary people. Maintaining a country of tyranny does not mean protecting the world! In the end, whether a country is a country for the world is not static and needs to be
Looking at the changes of the times, the country that meets the basic requirements of the people is the country of the world and the country of one man, so the rise and fall of the country should be the responsibility of one man!"
Shi Qian asked: "General, I understand what you said, but can such a foolish king still rule the world? Can such a country still represent the world?"
"Alas!" An Guo sighed and replied: "Didn't I say it? Whether to protect the country or protect the world is not set in stone. It depends on the current situation. Don't stick to the rules and be rigid! Please listen to my analysis!" Everyone pricked up their ears!
Come and listen carefully to Anguo's explanation.
