Chapter 23 Natural selection, compassion for things
After listening to Ning Jiang's words, Nangong Jiayou's face changed slightly. . The fastest update
Although he had realized that the situation was not good, he did not expect that it had reached this point.
Ning Jiang smiled and said, "Although it may be a bit inappropriate for me to say this, it is still time to draw a clear line with me now. On the side of the Changhe Martial Arts Alliance, it is now time to use people. If you vote now, they will definitely welcome me. Or, start collecting my crimes... I know that if you want to collect, you will definitely find a lot of them and then hand them over to the Ministry of Justice and the court. What you need most now is a title, a title of righteousness. For example, what is the great achievements that shock the Lord, the conditions for peace talks with the barbarian army... They will never admit such things. If you hand over the "evidence" of the Tiandihui and Southeast Wulin Alliance, you will be able to make a fortune. In the future, you will definitely have a share of the officials of the Ministry of Justice."
Nangong Jiayou gritted his teeth and bowed suddenly: "I will not hide it from the leader of the alliance. Although his subordinates are the headmasters, they all speak of the court laws and regulations and the righteousness of the martial arts world, but sometimes at night, after self-reflection, they know that they are actually a person who forgets their righteousness when they see profit."
Ning Jiang nodded: "It is not easy to be able to recognize yourself, and this is also what I value you."
Nangong Jiayou said: "But over the years, with the leader of the alliance, my subordinates were impressed by the righteousness of the leader of the alliance. The leader just kept peace of mind. Although my subordinates were willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of profit, they were willing to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood. The leader had given instructions and my subordinates had no choice."
Ning Jiang laughed and said, "You are not only forgetting your righteousness when you see profit, but also being shameless."
While speaking, outside, Sun Ziluo came to the back garden: "The leader of the alliance, there is an official who calls himself Dian Hong, who is asking for a meeting outside the door."
Ning Jiang said: "Please come in."
Nangong Jiayou bowed and said, "I will say goodbye first."
Ning Jiang quit his forehead and didn't say much.
Nangong Jiayou left Ning Mansion through the back door, and soon, two people turned out from the dark. One of them said, "Captain, did you tell the leader of the alliance to not go to Lin'an?"
Nangong Jiayou said: "The leader has his own decision, we just need to abide by it."
"But," the other man whispered, "the current situation... the headmaster, should we consider it too..."
"What are you thinking about?" Nangong Jiayou glared at him and said coldly, "All-allied mantra, one day with him, I, Nangong Jiayou, will be willing to go to the mountain of swords and sea of fire for him, without any regrets."
The man immediately did not dare to say anything, but in secret, he had already started to play drums and had other thoughts.
Nangong Jiayou took the two of them away like this.
How could he not know the secret thoughts of the person around him? But he didn't say anything else. Everyone has a different choice, and his choice is profit... He still believes that as long as he keeps up with that person, he can have the greatest benefit.
After Nangong Jiayou left, Ning Jiang met with Dian Hong, the former governor of Linjiang County, in the hall.
When he participated in the prefecture examination in Ningjiang, Dian Hong was the prefect of Linjiang County. He was the first-class student in Ningjiang. From the perspective of Confucianism, he was also Ningjiang's teacher.
But later, because of the meteorites falling from the sky in Yuehu Lake, natural disasters occurred in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which paid attention to the response of heaven and man, which meant that the local local officials were incompetent in governance and offended God, so he was naturally dismissed from his official position.
It was not until Song Hong ascended the throne and the new dynasty temporarily chose the Lin'an building talisman that he was activated again.
At this time, Dian Hong's hair was much white. Obviously, the turmoil and perplexity over the years had a significant impact on him. In particular, he was originally a Jinshi, and although he was only a three-level scholar, he was also a pillar of the country that glorified his ancestors. The collapse of Emperor Wen also had a great impact on him. His literary spirit was no longer there, barbarians invaded, and Confucian scholars in the world were in panic. The bright future suddenly became dark and dull, as if he could never see the end.
Ningjiang is located in Gaosuo County by Qianchao River, and Gaosuo County is one of the eight counties under the management of Linjiang County. Ningjiang naturally knows Dianhong quite well and knows that he is indeed a good official.
At this moment, when Dian Hong arrived, he stood up and poured tea for Dian Hong, saying, "How could the teacher suddenly come here?"
Dian Hong quickly stood up and said, "I will do it myself, I will do it myself." Ning Jiang is now not in the official position, but he is famous all over the world. Even according to the practice of the imperial examination, although he can barely be regarded as Ning Jiang's teacher, Ning Jiang is the top scholar in the first place. He is only among the top three. In the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty, his ranking in the imperial examination is even higher than official positions.
Ning Jiang did not have so many things to pay attention to. After pouring tea for him, he sat down and smiled, "Teacher, don't be polite. Haha, I haven't returned home many years. I came back today. I thought there would be many old friends to visit. But I thought it would be crowded with people, but I didn't expect it to be a deserted place. I didn't know if I suddenly became a plague god. I thought there would be no one coming today, but I didn't expect the teacher to appear, which surprised the students and felt that I still had some popularity."
Dian Hong was speechless for a while, then sighed: "I am old, and now I can't understand the world. In the past few days, I have a little annoyed with the children at home, so I came over to sit down."
"I wonder what they said, which makes the teacher so bored?"
"They said that the Confucian and Taoist dynasties for the past eight hundred years have already reached the end of their journey and should change. Alas, in fact, they should say this? After being a local official for so many years, how could I not understand the problems of the world? The tenants below are becoming increasingly unacceptable. The land of local officials and gentry is becoming more and more, and the common people are becoming poorer. Take me as an example. After being a Jinshi, I warned my family every day to keep abreast of the family style and avoid greed and obscene, but the fields under my name have been overturned many times. Where did they come from? I can't even figure it out..."
Ning Jiang said: "It's no wonder that the teacher is, everyone is like this."
"Yes, it's all. While we are enjoying the glory and wealth brought by fame, we are watching more and more people as slaves and servants, and then we think that this world should change... it should change!" Dian Hong smiled bitterly, "But no one thought that this world could really change in our lifetime."
Ning Jiang nodded and said nothing.
"Although I know it should change, but where should I change? I can't understand it at all." Dian Hong held the cup filled with tea on the table in his hand, but his eyes looked blankly outside the hall door, "My little son, these days, has been talking about Confucian mercy all day long. He said, why are there so many killings in this world? It is because there is a lack of kindness between people, and there is also a lack of kindness between benevolence. If everyone can realize the kindness of kindness. If everyone can realize the kindness of kindness, if everyone can realize the kindness.
The truth about things will be reduced. When will the revenge be repaid? Today the barbarians kill Chinese people, and tomorrow the Chinese people kill barbarians. If this continues, the killing will never end. In this life, people eat beasts, and in the next life, the cycle of reincarnation will never stop. If everyone can start from themselves, resolve hatred step by step and reduce killing, in the end, they will definitely be able to achieve peace in the whole world... There is still a reason... I always feel it makes sense."
Ning Jiang and him were separated by a table, and the two sat side by side and looked out together.
Dian Hong continued: "My eldest son has been studying the Nine Yin True Sutra... and the Nine Yin True Interpretations you wrote. He told me that this world should indeed change. The world is the world of the world, and the so-called kindness is meaningless. Killing cannot be eliminated forever. Therefore, those with ability should work hard to make themselves stronger and then take on more responsibilities. Fish, birds, animals and animals become the fill of human beings. It was originally the choice of nature, because they are weak and because human beings are strong.
Therefore, fish, birds and beasts are naturally the food for humans. As for the next life, let alone whether there is such a thing as the next life, even if there is, at that time, wild beasts live above humans, will they really understand some kindness and let humans go? At this moment, in the wilderness, there are also many big tigers and insects in the wilderness, which are eating people and harming people. Why don’t you reason with them first? Let them stop eating people first? It makes sense... It always makes sense."
Ning Jiang said: "Since the teacher thinks that it makes sense, what are the teacher struggling with?"
Dian Hong turned his head and looked at him in surprise.
Outside the hall, the drizzle was drizzling. As the autumn wind blew, the raindrops drizzled, making the sky in the distance feel like it was covered with a veil and misty.
Somewhere in the back garden, a tall barbarian woman was teasing the little girl with a bunch of cat ears on her head. The little girl ran around in vain, occasionally pouting, then turned into a little black cat and jumped into the drizzle. I don't know how it did it, but the strange cat shadow was intermittent and suddenly disappeared.
The little black cat jumped to the windowsill of the living room, and the young man sitting on the big sandalwood chair waved to it. The little black cat wanted to jump to his lap and let him caress it, but after all, because there were outsiders in the hall, they didn't go over, so they turned around and jumped back.
"The world is the world of the world. Become stronger and then take on more responsibilities... Although it feels very reasonable, I think that if this continues, there is indeed no end. The strong are all out, and everyone has their own ideas. The strong are prey on the weak and the strong are endless. Disputes are indispensable. In the end, the strong die, the people suffer, and then continue from generation to generation," Dian Hong sighed, "In fact, I have also read the true interpretations of the Nine Yin dynasties you wrote, the Six Classics are me, and I am annotated by the Six Classics. I certainly know that your ideas are hidden in those scriptures, and these ideas may be summarized in one of the sentences inside, that is... Survival of the fittest."
Ning Jiang said: "The teacher is not wrong. Those true interpretations of the Nine Yin are originally written for those who practice martial arts. Although the world is the world of the world, I hope everyone can take on their own responsibilities. However, after all, bloody storms are the norm in the martial arts world. I not only promote the distinction between Chinese and barbarians in the book, but also explain the principle of natural selection in the world, which is to guide the warriors in the world, take the family and country as their own responsibility, and fight against the barbarians."
Dian Hong nodded: "But this is not a long-term solution after all. The world is the world of the world, but everyone's 'world' is different, this is a dispute. For example, in this martial arts dispute that anyone with a discerning eye can see, the strong take on more responsibilities. Mr. Mei Jian stepped into the martial arts world. He was strong. He felt that he had the responsibility to save the nation, but the responsibility must correspond to power. He wanted more power, so the bloody storm started. Even if he obtained the power he wanted, he would eventually grow old and die. No matter how powerful the Zong Sheng was, he was not a god after all. Once he died, there would be more strong people in the world, and then there would be bloody storm again. So, endless, when will there be an end?"
Ning Jiang said: "Since this is the case, why don't teachers be gracious? If everyone can treat the creatures in the world well, without harming life or life, wouldn't it be possible to usher in the ultimate peace?"
Dian Hong said helplessly: "But there is also a problem. I believe in the charity of the school of kindness and will not harm life, but people are harmless. Tigers are hurtful. Can eating vegetarian food and vegetarianism and chanting the scriptures of the kindness of heaven and earth and the equality of all spirits really make those poisonous insects and beasts not harm themselves or themselves? For example, the barbarians... These days, how many people in China have been killed? A complaint with virtue and resolve grudges... I can't be so angry."
Ning Jiang said: "So, teacher, what are you struggling with?"
Dian Hong said in surprise: "How can you not be confused? These two directions are far apart, and water and fire are hard tolerant..."
"Actually, I also know that if the teacher comes to me, he must be more inclined to the concept of natural selection," Ning Jiang cut off. "But I think that the lesson of charity is a good thing, and what it says makes sense. Teacher, the reason why you think they are hard tolerant is because you don't know the principle of looking at them dialectically. These two seemingly completely different ideas can actually be combined. Whether it is a competition for natural selection or a kind heart in things, there is nothing wrong with it."
Dian Hong frowned tightly: "How could it be that there is nothing wrong? There must be one of these two things..."
"Nothing is wrong, it's just the timing!"
"opportunity?"
"Yes, timing! Cixue is a good thing, but the timing of promoting it is wrong. A person slapped you and told you to be tolerant, repay grievances with kindness, and to be beaten with the left and right face to resolve the enemy's resentment... Why the hell do you mean?" Ning Jiang said coldly, "So we should become strong, so strong that we can beat him back so hard that he can't even recognize his mother. Then we will teach him what tolerance is and what is repaying grievances with kindness... This is perfect."
