Chapter 327 What is human nature?

Listen to Lin Che finish. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but laugh. He lowered his eyebrows and played with the teacup, commenting casually:

"I didn't expect that this little thief is really a number one person. He is so wild and ambitious." "It's a pity. After all, he is just a thief and cannot be refined." "His lofty ambitions were as high as the sky, but he was shattered to pieces by command." "Strength cannot support ambition, and you will die sooner or later." Upon hearing this. Lin Che's face twitched, and she really wanted to put tea on Lao Zhu's head. On the surface, they are commenting on the story, but in reality they are praising themselves. The face is gone. "Haha, you're right."

"How can a thief compare to a beggar?" Zhu Yuanzhang: "???" Ignoring the other party's embarrassment, Lin Che stretched and said silently: "Dao Tuo went on to say that from the time of the Yellow Emperor there were expeditions and conquests, to Yao and Shun they began to appoint hundreds of officials, Shang Tang exiled his monarch, and the king of Zhou destroyed his monarch." "Before these rules, people were quite comfortable. But with these things, the strong bullying the weak has become the rules of the world." "Practice the way of governing the country by the civil and military kings, and think about educating all living beings all day long." "Wearing loose clothes and a shallow belt, speaking such grand words, but doing some hypocritical actions." "You deceived the world, and the world called you a saint, and called me Dao Tuo." "Earlier, Zilu followed you, threw away his sword, and received Qi's education. At that time, everyone in the world said that only Confucius could prohibit atrocities." Lin Che smiled: "But what's the result?" "Zilu wanted to assassinate the monarch of the Wei Kingdom, but was chopped into pieces by the guards. You claim to be a saint, but you are repeatedly kicked out of the Lu Kingdom. Is this your 'Tao'?" "Now what the world says they admire is also what you admire." "It was the Yellow Emperor who fought for deer and brought blood to the countryside, it was Yao who was unkind, Shun who was not filial, Dayu who was half-paralyzed, Shang Tang who exiled the monarch, and King Wu who attacked the monarch." "They are not big thieves, but I have become a big thief. Doesn't it sound funny?" "They destroy benevolence and righteousness, then steal benevolence and righteousness, and then rebuild benevolence and righteousness. How can I become a big thief?" The words fell. Not only the Zhu family father and son here were stunned and speechless, but even Queen Ma outside the wall was shocked beyond measure. No wonder Dao Tuo is so eloquent. Isn't that great?

After this series of sharp rhetorical questions, ordinary people would be speechless for a long time. If they cannot answer, they will lose their lives. It is a pity that someone with such talent becomes a thief. Think of this. Queen Ma shook her head slightly, and suddenly a wonderful idea came to her mind. She wondered how Lin Che should answer Dao Tuo. Let’s talk about the other side. "Bo Yi and Shu Qi are famous sages in the world. They resigned from the status of monarchs of Guzhu Kingdom, but they starved to death on Shouyang Mountain." Seeing that Lao Zhu and his son were speechless, Lin Che did not hesitate and said in an orderly manner:

"Bao Jiao was honest and self-responsible, but in the end he died hugging a tree. Shen Tu Di warned the king, but he had no choice but to carry a stone and throw himself into the river." "There is also the time when Jie Zitui and Duke Wen of Jin were on the run. They did not hesitate to cut meat for each other to eat on the way. As a result, they were betrayed and engulfed in fire." "Obi and the woman met under the bridge. Obi was loyal enough, but the woman did not come, and was eventually submerged in the flood." "To put it bluntly, there is no difference between these people and pigs waiting to be slaughtered or beggars holding ladles." "They value fame and integrity, but despise life and death. Isn't the title of the picture also due to desire?" "The things in this world are nothing more than this." Lin Che drank the remaining tea in the cup, lay down on the rocking chair again, closed her eyes to rest, and said casually: "At this point, the problem has arisen." "What is the nature of human beings?" "What is the truth between thieves and saints?" "again." "What is the path and what is the avenue?" The words fell. There was a shock. Lin Che's summary question not only stumped the Zhu family father and son here, but also Queen Ma and Xu Miaoyun on the other side remained silent. Although I heard what the other party said was that saints are immortal and there are many robbers, but when it comes to the great road of the human world, immortality can be easily understood. People of later generations are following the old path of their sages, standing on the shoulders of giants, and not having much deep understanding of their own. If everyone can understand the way of a saint, wouldn’t everyone in the world be able to become a saint?

Thinking of this. Queen Ma couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly. "This Mr. Lin is really capable of causing problems. The two gentlemen next door may be good at governing the country." "Talking about the way of a saint?" "Forget it." "As long as I have a deeper understanding, I won't always be reprimanded by Mr. Lin.

"A summer insect cannot speak of ice, a well frog cannot speak of the sea, and an ordinary person cannot speak of Tao. I am afraid Mr. Lin will be disappointed again." After hearing Empress Ma's emotion, Xu Miaoyun opened her mouth but hesitated to speak, suppressing the urge to express herself. He nodded obediently and then fell silent. …… the other side. The Zhu family father and son had a sad face and thought for a long time but still had no clue. It was not that they had no insights, but they felt that the idea was too one-sided. If you say it, you will definitely be scolded, so it is better not to say it. At this moment, the father and son only wished they had not brought the second child out. As a 'cannon expert', the second child is best at handling this kind of embarrassment. As for his father and son, they are still thin-skinned. A few moments passed. Lin Che couldn't help but let out a long sigh, her little patience was gone, and she quickly thought to herself: "What is human nature?" “Eye should see colors, ears should hear sounds, mouth should taste taste, and ambition should be satisfied.” "No matter how long a person's life is, he can't reach a hundred years. The middle life span is eighty years and the lower life span is sixty years. Excluding diseases, death, injuries, and sorrows, only four or five days in a month can you really laugh." "If you can't be as happy as you want in these four or five days, then what's the point of life?" This statement came out. Zhu Yuanzhang's big hands hidden in his robe trembled slightly for a few times, and his mood was inexplicably mixed. Thousands of words came to my lips, but not a single word came out. The same goes for Zhu Biao on the side. "The great principles taught by saints have been abandoned by thieves." Lin Che didn't raise her head or open her eyes. "Later generations say Dao Tuo was a big thief, but in fact he was the earliest. The leader of the peasant uprising." "But he revolted from the state of Lu and formed a rebel army of nine thousand people to fight against the slavery system at that time." "I want to be a human being, not a slave!" "If you read the history books, it is not difficult to find that after him, the slavery system gradually collapsed, and then completely disappeared into the dust of history when the Qin Dynasty was established." Lin Che smiled:

"It's true that Tao Tuo is a small way, but there is another kind of people who are a big way. The small way is just overt robbery, but the big way is 'secret robbery'!" (End of this chapter)
