Chapter 2: People in the City, No Teenagers Chapter 90: Human Suffering
Before I knew it, the test will be tomorrow.
Li Chengjie sat alone at the desk, looking through the classics of Shi Lai, preparing for the exam.
The sun is hanging high and the sun shines. The flowers in the garden are blooming hard, and the birds are chirping as if they are congratulating Li Chengjie in advance to the list.
Li Chengjie casually flipped through the textbook a few times, feeling that the knowledge in the book was already clear. Now, looking through the book, it felt boring!
Li Chengjie left the study and walked towards Danyanyuan. His junior sister disguised herself as a man, and was inexplicably from the provincial examination. She participated in the examination with her, and didn't know how she was preparing.
Li Chengjie slowly walked to Danyan's courtyard and passed by the window of the study and saw Mu Youzhi biting the pen. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't notice his arrival.
Li Chengjie lay down at the window without making a sound. It seemed as if it was sunlight and felt very warm all over. Looking at the darkness, she looked like she was wearing women's clothes, and she was silly happy, and she didn't know what interesting things she had thought of!
"Senior Brother?" Mu Youzhi was also comfortable with the sunlight, and was lazy all over. Suddenly, she felt that the sun was blocked, so she looked at the window and found that her senior brother was lying by his window, laughing at him and shouting.
"Well, how are your junior brother's homework?" Li Chengjie heard Mu Youzhi call her, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him slitting someone else's window. He stretched lazily, and walked towards the front door and pushed it in.
"Hey, senior brother is confident, junior brother, I'm in trouble!" Mu Youzhi saw his senior brother walk into the room, threw down the pen in his hand and stood up. He said a little boredly.
"Isn't it fun to learn and practice it from time to time! Why is my junior brother so sad?" Li Chengjie said jokingly.
"The test is approaching, and I can't be as calm as a senior brother. The master is really good. I will be able to try tomorrow and I won't teach us. Does he think I am as good as a senior brother?" Mu Youzhi watched Li Chengjie walk to his desk. She sat down again, lowered her head and turned over a few pages of the book, as if she was a little dissatisfied with her master's free-range education.
"What can I do with junior brother? You can teach you. Why do you need the master to teach these trivial matters personally?" Li Chengjie walked from the desk to behind Mu Youzhi, and smiled at Mu Youzhi's "On the National Policy" that Mu Youzhi was reading.
"Senior brother, I have read this book three or four times. I know every word in this book, but I just can't understand it. What should I do?" Mu Youzhi was even more anxious when he heard Li Chengjie's relaxed tone. He flipped it a few times and turned to the last page of the book!
"Why, you understand the national policy, but the national policy does not understand you?" Li Chengjie looked at Mu Youzhi's random reactionary book. He didn't even take any notes on the dozens of pages he saw. If he could read the book as he flipped through it, then he would be as numerous as a scholar and the top scholar would be walking all over the floor!
"Senior brother, do you think it is better to govern the country with culture or to govern the country with martial arts?" Mu Youzhi asked.
She read this national policy theory, and sometimes advocated that the rulers of the country govern the world with civility and etiquette, but later they were suppressed by force and changed the dynasty! However, those who govern the country with force still did not last long. There were many tyrants who only added criminal laws, which made the heavens angry and resentful and could not have a good end, and were overthrown. Throughout history, no emperor could find the method of long-term stability, and was always replaced by others.
"What is the rule of the country with culture?" Li Chengjie said.
"Governing with virtue is like the North Chen, where the stars share it." Mu Youzhi heard Li Chengjie's question and skillfully turned to the third chapter of the book. One of the people said that this should be the right way to govern the country.
"Only by governing the country with morality can we make ourselves like the North Star, and other stars surround it. Do you think this is not good?" Li Chengjie asked back.
"Do I think it is useful? It depends on whether the emperor has implemented benevolent government. As the saying goes, to others, from ancient times to the present, how many emperors can think about problems from the perspective of the people, and how many emperors can understand the sufferings of this world?" Mu Youzhi said, knocking on the table.
"I think that governing with virtue is the style of everyone. It should be imitated and can enjoy the people. Naturally, all the stars are in favor of them! However, how many emperors you mentioned can think about problems from the perspective of the people? I can tell you that no emperor can do it. How many emperors understand the sufferings of the world? I can also tell you that even an emperor knows the sufferings of the world!" Mu Youzhi's table was very long. Li Chengjie turned over and sat on the desk, looking at Mu Youzhi and said.
"What's the explanation for senior brother? I'm willing to hear it carefully and listen carefully." Mu Youzhi saw the senior brother sitting on his desk, his little head moving towards her intentionally or unintentionally, which was a little unnatural. She raised her foot and pushed the chair under her butt, sat back, and kept a certain distance from Li Chengjie.
"The emperor is the emperor. He is the monarch of the entire country and the saint who is ordered by heaven. Why should he think about the problems from the perspective of the people? The major affairs of the country should be considered by the emperor. The people do not understand it, so it can be said that the people are stupid. If they are smart enough, they should have fame and fame, or overthrow the emperor's rule by themselves and become kings, how can they still be a commoner?" Li Chengjie said leisurely.
"Senior brother, you?" Mu Youzhi felt angry when he heard Li Chengjie say this. What does the people mean to be stupid? What is a common man? If you are born in the homes of ordinary people, you have to accept your fate?
"Junior brother, senior brother has no other intentions, nor does he look down on anyone. Senior brother just wants to say that those who are capable of taking on major responsibilities should make comprehensive considerations. If they have selfish intentions and biases, they will not be in this position sooner or later." Li Chengjie explained.
"Then, that..." Mu Youzhi wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, it seemed that she had nowhere to refute her senior brother's words.
"As for the topic of suffering in the world, this is not the first time that our brothers and sisters have talked about it. Let me ask you, suffering in the world is like hell, is everyone suffering unbearable?" Li Chengjie said with a sharp tone. After a question, Mu Youzhi didn't know how to answer.
"Every emperor knows the sufferings of the world, but there are sufferings and sweetness. Some people suffer in this world, and some people enjoy happiness in this world. Although every emperor is the most noble person in the entire country, he, like all ordinary people, only hands, feet, eyes and ears. Are those people who are suffering really suffering because the emperor is incompetent? I don't think so."
"Even if the emperor is alone incompetent, addicted to beauty, and ignores the government, he will cholera alone? Will there be no such thing as the emperor being stupid and killing the people in his city with one decree?" Li Chengjie said righteously.
"But..." Mu Youzhi always felt something was wrong with her senior brother's words, and she wanted to refute one or two.
"The emperor is incompetent and has no way to govern the country. The ministers will only seek refuge, fill their own pockets, and be greedy for pleasure. Only then will the disasters of the whole world be caused by the people. There will be people who live in poverty and suffer everywhere. But this is no longer the emperor's crime, but the sin of everyone in the world. Therefore, there are talented and powerful people who raise their arms and shout, form a rebel army, resist this decadent rule, establish a new policy, and start a new dynasty. How could the emperor not know the sufferings of this world? As long as there is no one in this world, you can escape the sufferings of what you said!" Li Chengjie said passionately, and finally jumped up from the table, slapped the table, and looked at the branches.
The emperor is virtuous and kind, which is the luck of the whole world! The emperor is cruel and unrighteous, so he should rise up and establish a new dynasty. However, countless dynasties have changed, but each dynasty has the four words "health on earth"!
Li Chengjie deeply felt that the sufferings in the world were never given by others, but were left behind by himself! Earlier, without a monarch or a country, wouldn’t there be no sufferings in the world? What’s the use of pursuing happiness without hard work, and hanging yourself? The sufferings in the world are all excuses. If you work hard enough, at most, you will be able to eliminate your life. How can you achieve a lifetime of suffering without success?
"The establishment of a country is to reduce the sufferings of the world, to regard people as kings and emperors, all of which are to govern and solve the sufferings of the world. Why do we say now that it seems that the sufferings of the world caused by the lack of virtue of the monarch? The royal court enjoys the greatest honor in the world, but also bears the burden of the world. Some of them may be vicious and cruel, obsessed with profit, and do things that are contrary to the heavens, but more people are still struggling to restore their innocence in the world for life! At present, the people of the world are well-fed and well-dressed and have a safe life!
I am happy to work, but I feel that most people are thriving. People in the world are like stars in the sky, and the light and darkness are different. How can there be no injustice or suffering in the world? Once someone is wronged and poor, it is definitely not the fault of one or two people, nor can it be the fault of His Majesty the imperial emperor. One person suffers the world, then one person is wronged the world, and the suffering of the world is wronged the whole world!" Li Chengjie also knew that some emperors are stupid and many officials oppress the people, but this is all human fault, not the fault of the official!
He remembered that when he was a child, he had the same idea as Mu Youzhi, and he was as puzzled.
At that time, he went to ask his father and asked a lot of why.
But his father didn't answer him a word, and his father told him that he didn't know. Later, his father also asked him a question, which made him always think of the reasons, and all of them were answered.
His father asked him, "Has anyone ever asked His Majesty the whole world what you want to be this emperor?" He read the entire national policy theory with his father's question. He understood why the dynasty flourished and then perished...
