Chapter 227: Repaying Grievances with Virtue?
How to repay virtue?
(2nd Update) "......"
Everyone looked at these two rammed goods speechlessly, blocking people at the gate of the palace, you guys are too blatant, right?
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, you two old rascals actually threatened to beat people in front of me, which is too shameless for me.
Especially Wei Chi Jingde, what I said earlier is very good, I thought you had changed sex, but now it seems that it is still the original recipe and the original taste.
"Know the festival, don't be presumptuous."
Although he wanted to laugh in his heart, on the surface, Li Shimin had to pretend to be serious and reprimanded: "This is the Jinluan Palace, is this the place where you are wild?"
” "Your Majesty, it's not that Lao Cheng and I are presumptuous, it's really that what these bastards say is too bastard."
Cheng bit the gold and snorted: "To put it bluntly, don't they just want King Yue's silver?"
If Linyi is barren, if Linyi is barren, can His Royal Highness King Yue scavenge five million taels of silver from a small Rili City?
This is not counting the mountains of materials, converted into silver, I'm afraid it's not less than a million taels, right?
That's six million taels......
There's also a gold mine that doesn't count......
Such a place is also called barren?
Then Lao Cheng has to ask our Lord Li and Master Cui, if even such a sunny day is still barren, then what should your so-called wealth be?
Changan?
Or Luoyang?
The question is how many Chang'an and Luoyang are there in the world?
” "There's some truth to that, too."
Li Shimin nodded in agreement and said: "You can get so much silver in just one Rili City, even if there are not as many other cities as Rili City, but half of them should be there, not to mention the Sangha Bura and Fuchun, these two are the two richest cities in Linyi, and their scale is far from being comparable to a small Rili, and the benefits there should be more......"
Speaking of this, Li Shimin set his eyes on Li Zhengdao, who had just stood up: "Li Aiqing, what do you explain to Zhijie's words?"
After all, Lin Yi is also a country, although it is a little smaller, but it is not so much that it can't even take out five million taels - for this matter, Aiqing had better give me an explanation.
You only remember that we slaughtered 50,000 people in Linyi, but you didn't say who should we find to avenge the revenge of the people of the three states where we were slaughtered?
Are you still looking for Zhen'er?
These people were all slaughtered by Lin Yi and Baitou before Zhen'er entered Nanyang, and they have nothing to do with Zhen'er. ” Li Zhengdao was frightened into a cold sweat, but he still defended strongly: "Minister......
I thought it was ......
I think that the white-headed people in Linyi are barbarian lands, and the people know the etiquette and do not know how to educate, so it should be reasonable to be barbaric......
But I, Datang, govern the country with benevolence and virtue, and the revenge ministers do not object, but the slaughter of the city is a bit excessive, and this kind of thing spreads, so what will Datang look like in the eyes of others?
What is the difference between us and the barbarians?
Only by repaying grievances with virtue can I show the bearing of my Datang power. ” "Repaying grievances with virtue?"
Today, Li Shimin heard this word for the second time, and couldn't help but sneer: "Repaying grievances with virtue, if I remember correctly, it is from "The Analects of Confucius", right?"
Li Aiqing is a Confucian and Taoist master in the world, and has studied Confucian classics for decades, so I want to ask for advice, what is the next sentence of repaying grievances with virtue?
” "This ......"
Li Zhengdao was immediately dumbfounded, and directly stuck and crashed.
Repaying grievances with virtue is indeed from the Analects, but Confucius didn't mean that when he said this.
The original text in the Analects of Confucius reads: 'Or say: What is it like to repay grievances with virtue?
Zi said: How to repay virtue?
Repay grievances with straightforwardness and repay virtue with virtue. ’ What does this mean?
Someone asked, "How about repaying evil with good deeds?"
Confucius said, "What do you use to repay good deeds?"
Reward evil deeds with appropriate punishment and good deeds with good deeds. ” The meaning of the old master is to support revenge and revenge, but he didn't say that he should treat his enemies with his own good deeds.
The reason why this meaning appeared was purely that later generations of Confucians took the words out of context and deliberately distorted the meaning of the Confucian scriptures in order to achieve their own goals.
However, the theory of "repaying grievances with virtue" really exists in history, but it is not Confucius who put forward this theory, it is actually Lao Tzu who really put forward this theory - Chapter 63 of "Lao Tzu": "How big and small, repay grievances with virtue." ” The question is that you are Confucian disciples, what kind of Taoist scriptures do you have nothing to learn?
Do you want a renegade?

What's more, Lao Tzu only said that he would repay the enemy's evil deeds with your good deeds, but he didn't say that he wanted you to tolerate the enemy's crimes.
He didn't say that everyone slapped your right cheek, not only could you not fight back, but you also had to put your left cheek up and let the family continue to smoke - this is not called repaying grievances with virtue, this is purely cheap......
Seeing that Li Zhengdao bowed his head and was silent, Li Shimin pretended to be disappointed, shook his head and said, "It seems that Li Aiqing can't answer."
Since you can't answer, then I will help you answer: repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?
This is the original words of Confucius, what does this sentence mean?
I don't know if any of you Aiqing are willing to help me explain?
” "......" replied to him that there was only silence, especially the few people who echoed Li Zhengdao before, and they almost shrank their heads into their necks, for fear of being named by Li Shimin.
Some people are afraid of being named, and naturally some people are eager to stand up for Laixiu's presence, such as Zhang Liang: "Your Majesty, the minister has a little insight into this sentence." ” "Aiqing, please speak."
"Yes."
Zhang Liang sorted out the language and said: "Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?"
From the Analects of Confucius, someone asked Confucius how to treat his enemies?
Do you want to influence him with your own virtues?
Confucius replied, "If you treat your enemies with your virtues, what are you prepared to repay your benefactor?"
The real way to deal with it is to treat your enemies with your integrity and your benefactors with your virtues, and this is the right way to deal with them. ” "Well, it's hard work."
Li Shimin glanced at Zhang Liang approvingly: "What do you think of Zhang Aiqing's interpretation?"
Is it right or wrong?
Are there any flaws?
You can speak up without any restraints. ” The "......" continued to be silent.
"Your Majesty, don't ask, they are all pretending to be turtles with shrunken heads now, for fear of being seen by you, who would dare to stand up and answer your questions?"
Yu Chi Jingde jumped out and said in an urn voice: "And Zhang Liang's explanation is not wrong, even if they stand up bravely, they can't refute Zhang Liang's point of view, if you ask, it's in vain, let's move on to the next question." ”
