Confucians were different from Daoists and Buddhists. Confucians did not reject their own nature.
The Great Learning also said," If you like beauty, if you hate stench, this is called self-humility."
Whether it was beauty or disgust, this was human nature!
To recognize beauty is "knowledge", and then to like beauty is "action". This is the unity of knowledge and action. It is the heart, a body without kindness and disgust.
There are good and evil deeds.
If one was moved because they liked beauty, for example, if they liked beauty and wanted to get close to it, if they had evil thoughts in their hearts, it would be "malicious". They needed to "control their hearts" to get rid of such evil thoughts.
On the contrary, if one liked beauty, but did not harbor any bad intentions, and strictly followed the etiquette and laws to get close to her, that would be 'goodness', and it needed to be maintained!
The Confucianists 'self-restraint was to produce the intention of' having good and evil 'in one's heart, which was' neither good nor evil'. The conscience of 'knowing good and knowing evil' would tell one which was 'malicious' and which was 'good'. Then,' doing good and eliminating evil is to investigate things 'to eliminate' malicious 'and retain' good'.
It was not like Buddhism and Taoism, which directly wiped out the "will", which was equivalent to wiping out the source.
The Taoist's 'concentration' did not even have 'intention', let alone conscience. All that was left was a pure heart that was neither good nor evil. Therefore, it was said before that Taoism did not teach people' good and evil'. There was no distinction between good and bad in Taoism!
The only reason why it was created was because of the influence of the scholarly faction!
Confucianism did not reject nature. For example,"a gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way", or "he should start from his emotions and stop at etiquette. He should follow his heart's desires and not violate its rules!"”……
Thus, when the scholarly faction saw a beauty, as long as they didn't have any bad intentions and didn't violate the rules, taking the initiative to get close to her wasn't a bad thing. In fact, it was worthy of respect.
The Book of Rites had more than 300 chapters, and more than half of them were about the love between men and women.
The scholarly faction had three wives and four concubines. There were many great scholars who visited brothels, and they were all elegant matters!
Confucianism was the knowledge of entering the human world, so one should not confuse Confucianism's " concentration " with Taoism and Buddhism. Confucianism's " concentration " advocated " human nature " on the basis of conscience!
Like money? Sure, as long as it didn't go against one's conscience and was taken properly.
Likes beauty? Sure, as long as it didn't go against the other party's wishes, it would be polite.
Likes power? Sure, as long as you bear the corresponding responsibility.
Liking status? Sure, as long as he could be "justified" and had the ability to match his status.
Let's get down to business.
……
On the day the Blood Cloak Marquis's mansion was burned down, Yan Lingji had secretly come to Gao Jing and told him what had happened.
Especially the secret passage that they had entered the ice cellar. Both sides of the passage were covered with countless white bones.
Yan Lingji, who had always been lawless, couldn't help but show fear when she recalled the incident. One could imagine what kind of tragic situation it was.
In the original plot, Baiyi needed to feed on human blood and humans to raise his voodoo.
The Jade Tiger had been collecting beauties from all over Korea. Half of them were left for Ji Wuye, while the other half were sent to the palace. However, the fashionable woman had given them to Bai Yifei.
And they were all young and beautiful virgins.
The white bones in the tunnel were the remains of these women who had their blood sucked dry and had their bodies covered in Gu worms.
Gao Jing knew about this, but it didn't feel real from the plot.
However, when Yan Lingji described it with lingering fear, Gao Jing's heart was finally moved, and a wave of anger had been suppressed in his heart.
What were the crimes of those women whose blood had been sucked dry? How terrified were those women who had been parasitized by the Gu worms?
Gao Jing could not imagine what kind of torture it would be if he became a parasite of a Gu worm when he was alive.
Until now, when Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei led the Imperial Army to surround Zi Lanxuan.
The anger that Gao Jing had been suppressing in his heart had finally found a way to vent!
……
The door of Purple Orchid Pavilion opened and Gao Jing walked out unhurriedly.
Ji Wuye stepped forward fearfully and said,""Mr. Gao, I have received news that a traitor is hiding in Purple Orchid Pavilion. I have brought my troops here to capture him.”
Ji Wuye didn't even dare to kill a scholarly disciple like Zhang Kedi. He only dared to fight for victory in the imperial court, let alone Gao Jing, the " Junior Martial Uncle of the scholarly faction."
If Gao Jing stayed in Purple Orchid Pavilion, he would not be able to barge in.
"General Ji is light."
Gao Jing bowed and turned to Bai Yifei.""I just have a few words that I have to say…Blood-robed Marquis, Bai Yifei!”
Bai Yifei was stunned for a moment and looked at Gao Jing.
Gao Jing said in a deep voice," I heard that your mother is the only female marquis in Korea. I think she must have made a great contribution. Everyone in Korea, from the monarch and his subjects to the common people, must admire her. That's why she could achieve this unprecedented feat!”
Baiyifei raised his head slightly. Although he did not say anything, he sounded very pleased with himself.
Gao Jing stared into Bai Yifei's eyes, and the anger in his heart grew stronger. His voice slowly turned from calm to high-pitched."Then how did you do it? Using a Korean woman's body to cultivate Gu worms and using a Korean woman's blood to cultivate evil techniques?”
Baiyifei's eyes turned fierce and his voice was filled with killing intent." Others respect your scholarly identity, but this is not you, a little brat, slandering me…"
"Shut up!"
Gao Jing shouted angrily. The anger in his heart poured out, and the righteous spirit in his chest burst out."Cannibalism is not something animals do! You're worse than a beast. How dare you complain in front of me?”
Bai Yifei's face paled slightly. He felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him when he was hit by the Righteous Qi. His Qi was in a mess and his heart was weak.
Gao Jing's chest was filled with the Great Spirit, making him look like the sun."Your mother was conferred the title of Marquis because of her merit and protected the people of Korea. Now, you feed on the Koreans.”
The Righteousness Qi filled the world. No one dared to look at Gao Jing directly. Those with evil intentions even subconsciously retreated and lowered their heads in fear.
"You eat Han Lu and sit on the throne of Han. You don't care about the king's safety and don't care about the people. Instead, you plunder the women of the people and feed on them. It can be said that beasts eat Lu and rotten wood become officials!”
The air was filled with a sense of justice. Bai Yifei felt as if the entire world was pressing down on him. Every word Gao Jing said was like a hammer, smashing heavily on his heart.
His originally pale face turned pale, but it also revealed a demonic blood-red color. He wanted to speak, but he could not say a word.
"Your sins are so grave that heaven and earth will not tolerate it! Do you know the number of white bones in your tunnel? Don't you know how many Koreans want to eat raw meat?”
"You don't know how to hide and hide, and you still dare to appear in front of me?”
"Now that you are about to die in the underworld, have you ever thought about how you will face the previous Blood Strike Marquis and the countless Han women you ate?”
Gao Jing's voice was not loud, but it was unusually loud. It sounded like a rebuke from heaven and earth, but it also sounded like the whole world was asking Bai Yifei a question.
With every word he said, Bai Yifei took a step back, and his pale face turned a strange shade of blood red. The pressure on his body became heavier, and the hammer that hit his heart became fiercer...
Finally!
"Wow!"
Bai Yifei spat out a mouthful of blood that was filled with ice shards and emitted an endless chill. It fell to the ground and instantly froze.
Bai Yifei, who had just spat out a mouthful of blood, suddenly became dispirited. His smooth skin was covered with wrinkles in an instant, and his silver-white hair became dry and colorless.
" You... you..." Bai Yifei collapsed to the ground, his fingers trembling as he pointed at Gao Jing.
In the end, his eyes rolled back and he lost consciousness.
After cursing to his heart's content, Gao Jing felt relaxed and happy, and the righteous spirit in his chest became more and more abundant.
No wonder Mencius liked to quarrel with others.
Gao Jing looked at Ji Wuye with an unsatisfied expression.
Ji Wuye trembled subconsciously. He avoided Gao Jing's gaze and turned to leave. At the same time, he shouted,"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
His footsteps were very hurried!
