I'm The Emperor of All-Heavens

Chapter 622

"Here we are!"

The outline of Xiongguan appeared in his sight. Sun Wu was slightly relieved, but did not relax his vigilance.

A person who travels a hundred miles can get out of the pass immediately, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not fall in the last step.

After all, if someone sees their trend and waits for a rabbit before closing, it is the most dangerous.

"Those kings of small countries are short-sighted and won't guard the customs. What they can worry about is Jin and Qi, cough!"

Wu Zixu's weak voice sounded.

His personal force was stronger than Sun Wu, and his injury was heavier, but his tone was contemptuous.

He looked down on half of these monarchs who occupied one side of Chu.

"No!"

However, at the next moment, Sun Wu swept his eyes in front of Hangu pass, his face sank, and turned around to retreat.

"Wait a minute, guys!"

A light wind blew. A burly man in a Confucian robe blocked the way. It was the Zi road. The carriage appeared. Kong Qiu opened the curtain and walked down: "Wu Xiangguo, general sun, you are polite!"

"Kong Lingyin!"

Sun Wu nodded slightly. Kong Qiu could see their whereabouts. It's not surprising. Wu Zixu sneered and said, "it seems that you have come to avenge the king of Chu. Come on, take my head and go to receive the reward!"

"The father is punished, the son revenge, courtesy, and sincerity. What is the crime?"

Kong Qiu shook his head: "however, filial piety knows that there are relatives, loyalty knows that there is a country, and hatred kills a country. It is not moral. I hope Wu Xiangguo can return to Yingdu and save the state of Chu in danger!"

"Immoral? Crisis?"

Wu Zixu laughed, full of ridicule: "you don't care about the changes of the world and the struggles of various countries. You only talk about the so-called benevolence, morality and filial piety, which brought the state of Chu to an irreparable place. Now you come to invite me?"

Kong Qiu explained: "Confucianism and Taoism uphold benevolent government and govern the country with courtesy, so that the upper and lower levels of honor and inferiority depend on each other. The monarch and his son are in order, the minister respects the monarch as the father, and the monarch loves the people as the son. Although there is a crisis in the state of Chu, it is the pain before stability, and there will be great prosperity."

Wu Zixu sneered.

Kongqiu knew that he didn't believe it, and said, "although the king's rule is less than a thousand miles, he is united from top to bottom. Everyone has the heart of benevolence and virtue and the idea of strengthening the country. If he takes over the lost land again, Chu will be strong and prosperous. If the Prime Minister Wu is willing to help him and make Yin, he is willing to give way!"

Wu Zixu was moved.

Lingyin's position is below one person and above ten thousand people. Does Kong Qiu really let him?

Taking him as a man must not be aimless. He is really bent on revitalizing the great Chu.

As for the feud between his father and his enemy, the king of Chu will not put it down, but wait until the great Chu prospers.

Seeing Wu Zixu's silence, Sun Wu said, "your fallacy is that you have reversed the relationship between morality and politics. Morality should be the cultivation of administrators, but it can not become the reliance for the survival of the regime, let alone the only standard!"

Kong Qiu raised his eyebrows: "I'd like to hear it in detail!"

"If you train all the officials of the state of Chu into modest gentlemen, you can't win the war at all, nor can you restrain their greed and selfish desires for a long time. Now the state of Chu is in chaos, and those nobles and princes are bound to perish. Everything will cooperate. When the old land is recovered, it will inevitably relapse!"

Sun Wu said: "no matter what kind of political theory you want to implement in chaos, it is impossible. To implement it in a country, you must first eradicate dissidents in the country and unify orders. To implement it in the world, you must unify the regime with strong force, otherwise it will be empty!"

If you want to rule a country, first level it!

To rule the world, first level the world!

This is the strategist!

"What the general said is reasonable!"

Kong Qiu nodded: "however, the brightness of heaven and earth is no greater than the sun and the moon, and the principle of humanity is no greater than governing the world. If there is no way to govern the world and there is no benevolence and morality to regulate it, if you just attack and attack blindly, you will inevitably become a tyrant and a tyranny!"

Sun Wu raised his eyebrows gently and became interested: "what you said is not unreasonable..."

The more they talked about the Confucian road of strategists, the more excited they became. Wu Zixu could insert a few words at first, and soon he could only go to one side to accompany Zilu.

In short, Kong Qiu should first establish morality, government and etiquette, convince people with morality and bind people with etiquette. Even if there is no need to fight in the process, at least set rules to ensure that he can get the right fruit after winning;

Sun Wu firmly believes that war can only be won if there is no gentleman. According to the set of benevolence, righteousness and morality of a gentleman, the generals can't win the war at all, and the so-called moral government can't be implemented.

Both make sense.

The so-called system is not perfect. It will not exist in the era thousands of years later, and I'm afraid it will not exist tens of thousands of years later.

Kong Qiu and Sun Wu argued fiercely, talking and talking. They drew their swords out of their scabbards and fought each other.

Kong Qiu wants to prove the way of a gentleman. He can win the battle without any conspiracy;

Sun Wu wants to prove that the combination of right and strange is the invincible way to win.

"Sure enough, this is the weather of saints!"

Two breaths rose into the sky. Not far from Hangu pass, Yin Xi was overjoyed. He adjusted his clothes and went down the city tower to see the two saints in person and ask for knowledge.

Just then, on the official road in the distance, another green bull came slowly.

Above the green bull, sat an old man with white hair and beard, pretending to sleep.

Behind the green bull, there was a beautiful female Taoist who followed slowly, a hundred feet away.

Kongqiu fought fiercely with Sun Wu, and the atmosphere of civil and military affairs surged up and spread to all directions. However, when he threw himself around the old man, the water waves were not happy and failed to stir up any ripples.

"Lao Dan (d) ā n）？”

Kong Qiu stopped fighting and saluted. Sun Wu's eyes also moved.

This elder qingniu is Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism.

When I was young, I was the emperor of Zhou's history of guarding the collection room, that is, the official in charge of the collection. Therefore, I read a lot of books. Later, I was excluded by the authority. I was removed from my post, went on a trip to the state of Lu, and met Confucius. At the age of 17, Kong Qiu saluted Lao Tzu.

Kong Qiu respected Lao Tzu's erudition, but Sun Wu was not cold.

He has heard of Lao Tzu's theory, which is mysterious and mysterious. From its nature, he governs by inaction.

What is inaction?

To put it bluntly, with the division of home, country and the world, there are all kinds of contradictions. Today's chaos is unbearable. If you want to solve the problem, you simply don't need the national group. It is formed according to the nature of all things. It is like the water in the river. You don't need human force to impose guidance and go naturally.

This is obviously more impractical.

"The study of governing the country is huge and profound. As you and I said, there is no right or wrong..."

When Kong Qiu asked for advice, which was right or wrong between him and Sun Wu, Lao Tzu opened his eyes, his peaceful eyes were full of feelings about everything in heaven and earth, and smiled and said, "just seeking the Tao!"

Kong Qiu and Sun Wu moved their eyes and saluted with a sword: "look for advice!"

I nodded and took a shoulder pole from the ox cart at random.

The sword light rises again. This time, there is an old man who never attacks but can calm the civil and military struggle.

Yin Xi came in a hurry. Xiaomeng stopped to watch the war. In the king's city, Gu Cheng turned the twelve volumes of Tianshu suspended above his head into a streamer, shuttled through the void, and came over Hangu pass to participate in this humanitarian event!
