"Which is benevolence?"
"The Master said: If one's ambition is to be benevolent, there is no evil.”
"Usually, the 'benevolence' that we speak of is the absence of evil!”
"In order to cultivate benevolence, one will not do bad things, that is, they will not offend their superiors, do evil, nor will they be extravagant and licentious. The well-known principle of "do unto others what you would not have them do unto you" was exactly this principle!”
"Of course, it's not as simple as that to be a benevolent person!”
The Master said,"Disciples, when you enter, you are filial; when you leave, you are fraternal; you are cautious and trustworthy; you love the masses widely; you are close to benevolence. If you have spare strength, you can learn literature."
"Not only must you be filial to your parents and respect your elder brother, but you must also be cautious in your actions and speak honestly. You must love everyone and be close to people with benevolence. After doing so, if he still had the energy, he would still have to learn cultural knowledge.”
......
"Hah!"
Cheng Chu Bi yawned tiredly, leaning on the table, his eyes staring blankly at the words on the book.
Liu Bozhuang was an amazing person. He knew that he had participated in the compilation of many books such as Wen Si Bo Yao, Wen Guan Ci Lin, Shi Ji Yin Yi.
However, he was too rigid and didn't know how to use it flexibly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been a bachelor for the rest of his life. Moreover, his teaching method was also rigid. He was like some university teachers, reading from books. To put it bluntly, he was a pedantic scholar.
They had made a lot of alcohol last night, but Happy, Old Master Cheng Yaojin, and Second Brother Cheng Chuliang had been drinking for most of the night. They were already a little tired this morning.
In addition, listening to these words that sounded like they were chanting scriptures, it was like a lullaby, making him even more drowsy.
The other popinjays in the classroom were the same. They were also swaying all over the place. They forced themselves to stay awake and not close their eyes.
If it were not for his family's insistence and the fact that this old man had the ruler given by Emperor Li Er, who would be willing to do this? He would have long wandered around Chang 'an.
......
"What this old man has said is the 'benevolence' of an individual. Now, this old man will continue to talk about the 'benevolence' of a country!”
Liu Bozhuang was like a university professor in the future, intoxicated in his own spiritual world. He did not care if anyone was listening and continued to recite.
If it wasn't for Second Emperor Li's order, he wouldn't have been willing to come to Hongwen Hall to attend classes. It was like playing the lute to a cow. Compared to the students of the directorate, there was a world of difference!
The Master said,"To be able to practice the five is to be benevolent in the world: respectful, generous, trustworthy, sensitive, and benevolent. If you are respectful, you will not be insulted; if you are generous, you will be popular; if you are trustworthy, you will be trusted; if you are agile, you will be meritorious; if you are kind, you will be able to make people happy.”
"It means that those who can carry out the five virtues are benevolent. Solemn, generous, honest, diligent, and benevolent. Solemn will not be insulted, generous will be supported by everyone, honest will be appointed by others, diligent will improve work efficiency, and benevolent will be able to order people around.”
"My Great Tang is like this!"
"The Heavenly Dynasty is a country with solemn dignity, generosity, and benevolence. This is why the four barbarians are convinced and come from all directions!”
"Ha!"
Cheng Chu Bi sneered. Only a fool like him would think that the might of the Tang Empire was established through benevolence and righteousness!
"Now that the world is at peace, it's time to rest and farm!”
"Bullshit!"
"This time, the Western Turkic Xue Yantuo's army has entered the court, and it is time for His Majesty to promote benevolence and virtue. If you can use benevolence as the path and peace as the most precious, the war will be reduced and the people will live!”
"What a f * cking idiot!"
Every time Liu Bozhuang said something, Cheng Chubi would curse under his breath, and his voice became louder and louder.
Xue Yantuo was just like the Tibetans, the Koreans, and the Pacific Island. They were all wolf cubs that could not be raised properly!
If benevolence and righteousness were useful, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would have long unified the Xiongnu. He would not have let Wei Qing and Huo Qubing fight even if he had to empty the national treasury!
"That student, I don't know if you are dissatisfied with what I taught you. Why are you whispering?”
"Headmaster!"
Cheng Chubi looked up and found Liu Bozhuang staring at him with his dead fish eyes. The other students also followed Liu Bozhuang's gaze and looked at him.
Although Cheng Chu Bi was not interested in Liu Bozhuang's pedantic view, he still bowed and smiled.
"This student is stupid. I don't know what the Headmaster said just now. What kind of benevolence should Your Majesty show to the Western Turkic Xue Yantuo tribe?”
"Quick and inquisitive, very good, very good!"
Liu Bozhuang stroked his long beard and smiled. His small eyes were so happy that they could not be seen. This was the first time he had a class in Hongwen Hall and a student had asked a question!
" Prince Xue Yantuo has come to court to propose marriage. This old man thinks that the current Emperor should follow the Han system and bestow marriage and marriage. He should reward gold and silver artifacts, silk and brocade to strengthen the diplomatic relations between the two countries and form a friendship between Qin and Jin."
Giving women and money, damn it, only pedantic scholars like you can think of that!
He even said it so righteously!
What a f * cking traitor!
The more Cheng Chubi thought about it, the angrier he became. He clenched his fists tightly, not even noticing that his fingernails dug into his flesh and blood seeped out.
"If you are benevolent and generous, then Xue Yantuo should sincerely submit to us, reject our vassals, be grateful, and bless our Great Tang!”
Liu Bozhuang was beaming with joy. He thought that he had spoken eloquently and eloquently. He smiled happily at Cheng Chubi and looked at Cheng Chubi who slightly bowed his head, thinking that he was going to bow and admire him.
"Do you understand what this old man is saying?"
"I understand, I understand. I understand very well!”
Cheng Chubi's mouth corners twitched as a trace of disdain and contempt flashed across his face. With a grim smile, he raised his head, straightened his body, picked up the white porcelain pen holder on the table and threw it away.
"F * ck you, traitor!"
