"Wei Yang, Cai!"
Wei Yang's speech of using the rule of law to curb the evil of human nature won the applause of the students. Some of the students who held opposing views also politely cupped their hands in greeting, and Wei Yang sat back down.
Whether human nature was good or evil, this debate was far more intense than the previous debate about human rule or art, and it was even more difficult to determine who was right or wrong. The students below the stage were all blushing, and in the end, the attendant, at King Qi's signal, loudly stopped them."Students, please stop arguing for the time being. The debate in Jixia will continue. Is there anyone else who is willing to share their views with the public?”
Li Xiang was originally sitting on the second floor. As he spoke, he stepped on the wooden railing and landed on the ground. He turned to face the students and said,"I think that both Master Meng and Mister Wei Yang are biased. Human nature is neither good nor evil.”
"Human nature is good and human nature is evil. Now, there's another person who's neither good nor evil. The debate in Jixia is really amazing.”Many students were shocked when they heard Li Xiang's words. They did not expect another new point of view to appear. "But who is this person? Do you know him?" "I don't know him. What about you, brother? Do you know which sect this gentleman is from?”"Why don't you recognize me?" Many students were puzzled. Previously, although Shen Buhai and Wei Yang were young, they were introduced by Shen Dao of Legalism and also introduced themselves. In addition, they were also slightly famous, so everyone quickly admired these two young students. But Li Xiang…no one present knew him? Although no one knew who Li Xiang was, the debate in Jixia was open to all knowledgeable people regardless of the origin. Thus, no one interrupted Li Xiang and asked about his origins. Everyone suppressed their doubts in their hearts.
"Sir, you can speak frankly." For some reason, Meng Ke stood up and cupped his hands in a bow before sitting down. This sort of etiquette was reserved for people of the same generation or elder. Everyone was in an uproar, and King Qi was puzzled. Just what sort of status did Li Xiang have that even this Teacher Meng he had invited was so respectful? In fact, Meng Ke himself didn't know why he had to bow to Li Xiang, who seemed to be younger than him. Just now, it seemed that his body couldn't help it.
In fact, this was understandable. After Li Xiang ate the Golden Dragon Pill, his deterrence and control over the human race increased. Meng Ke's bow was perhaps his burden.
"Human nature is neither good nor evil." Li Xiang stated his point of view and then asked the crowd below the stage," Everyone, why are the sons of merchants more proficient in business calculations, the sons of princes more proficient in scheming, the sons of bandits more proficient in stealing, and the sons of all officials generally more knowledgeable than ordinary people?”
Li Xiang had just finished speaking, and Meng Ke was deep in thought. A student couldn't help but stand up and salute, saying,""Sir, do you want to say that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes? These words seemed reasonable, but they were too shallow.”"Everyone seems to have misunderstood this gentleman's point of view. However, Meng Ke, may I ask if there is any case that can prove your point that 'human nature is neither good nor evil'?”Meng Zi ended his contemplation and looked at Li Xiang with a burning gaze.
" That's right. I mean that human nature is neither good nor evil. In fact, human nature does not exist at all. Good and evil are influenced by the environment. As for the case…" Li Xiang smiled mysteriously and turned to Mencius. He asked," Mencius, have you heard of the story of 'Mencius's mother moving three times?'”"Hahahaha! Cai!"
Mencius was asked if he had heard of the story of Mencius 'mother moving three times. This caused the students to laugh and cheer. Even King Qi and Zou Ji's mouths twitched. In order to respect the invited Mencius, they suppressed their laughter. The only one who didn't laugh was Mencius himself. When Mencius heard Li Xiang ask him if he had heard of " Mencius's mother moved three times ", he was also stunned. He thought that he would win by using inferior insulting words, but soon, Mencius understood. That's right. Why did his mother bring him to move so many times? Wasn't it to give him a good environment to grow up in?
Mencius revealed a nostalgic look, and he was filled with emotions. After coming back to his senses, he looked at Bai Shun with his burning eyes and bowed again,""Mister is a great talent, please accept Meng Ke's bow!”Meng Ke had visited Bai Shun earlier because of his aura as a saint teacher, but now, he was sincerely convinced.
" It turns out that there is an answer to the good and evil of human nature. It's a pity that the more I learn, the more I forget my late mother's teachings. Thank you for enlightening Meng Ke today. Meng Ke is sincerely convinced.”
"Yang is also convinced." Wei Yang, who had been arguing about human nature, also stood up and cupped his hands. "Cai!" Many students cheered. Xun Kuang stood upstairs and looked at Bai Shun, who was standing on the stage with a look of admiration. He joined the other students in cheering.
"What a genius! Even Teacher Meng was rendered speechless!”King Qi was shocked. He had always felt that Bai Shun was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that even Meng Zi, whom he had spent so much effort to invite, would be suppressed.
