Chapter 2535: Inconsistency between words and deeds, metaphysics and hypocrisy

Fan Tai's words were resounding, and he stood up from the couch because of his excitement and excitement. His gestures were flying just now, matching his increasingly louder voice and faster speaking speed, until he said

After that, when Liu Yu started to smile and applaud from the opposite side, Fan Tai realized his excitement and his face turned slightly red: "Sorry, I got carried away while talking, which was out of character and made the commander laugh."

As he spoke, he sat back on the small couch and began to adjust his breathing. He shook his head and sighed: "When my father was still alive, he always reminded me to cultivate my Qi and cultivate my moral character. It seems that I still can't do it."

Liu Yu said calmly: "Those so-called nourishing qi and cultivating one's body are mostly the opinions of metaphysicians, but in my opinion, this is what is most worthy of criticism of metaphysics. The secret of metaphysics is that Tao follows nature.

Follow your true nature, but people have seven emotions and six desires, joys, anger, sorrows and joys. If you want to nourish your Qi and cultivate your moral character, you have to go against these natures. Mr. Fan, do you think this is true?"

Fan Tai was taken aback for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "I have never thought of this. After hearing what the commander said, it seems to be true. But even so, so what?

Scholars of metaphysics follow Taoism, and what they want is an image like a living god, so that they can be admired by others. Even if it is done deliberately, there is nothing to blame."

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "It seems that there is no problem, but if you think about it carefully, it involves the Achilles heel of metaphysics, that is, the inconsistency between words and deeds, and duplicity. This is also the source of the chaos that has occurred in the Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years!

"

Fan Tai's expression changed: "I would like to hear the commander's opinions."

Liu Yu said seriously: "Actually, if a person's emotions are truly expressed from the heart, they are true and moving. Just like my speech on the stage during the day, it was by no means a lie. I don't talk about any big principles.

I don’t have any fancy words, but I can convince the brothers because they know that every word I say comes from my heart. They know that I am still the same Liu Da from Suanshan Township, and I am still the same person who eats and drinks with them.

I live and die together, Brother Jinu. That’s why you are willing to listen to me.”

Fan Tai nodded: "Indeed, today's speech was very exciting. I have seen so many debates on Qingxuan and Buddhism, but I have never seen one that was more appealing and touching people than the commander-in-chief."

Liu Yu said with a smile: "In terms of knowledge, vocabulary, and language, I am far inferior to those masters of metaphysics and well-educated people, but they just argue for the sake of arguing and reason for the sake of reasoning, unlike me who talk to people heart to heart. The so-called nourishing Qi

Self-cultivation is nothing more than making your appearance more impressive to others and making people admire you at first sight. But if you really say what you do and what you do is in line with people's hearts, do you still need to do this? Like me

If you don't cultivate your appearance and cultivate your moral integrity today, can't you still make people listen to my words and act according to my wishes?"

Fan Tai laughed: "What you mean is that people in metaphysics are actually inconsistent in their words and deeds. If they do this too much, they will not be able to truly communicate with others. It can even be said that this is hypocrisy, right?"

Liu Yu nodded: "When I was young, I was fascinated by the demeanor and appearance of the metaphysicians. I thought they were gods in the sky. But after so many years, I have learned a lot about things that are unknown behind the scenes.

I will only feel a sense of emptiness and disillusionment.”

"In my opinion, most high-ranking families say one thing and act another way. While they say that they follow their true heart and have no desires and desires, at the same time they need the thousands of villagers and tenants in Wudi to do something for them.

He works hard by himself, relying on the blood and sweat of these bankers to maintain the prosperity and wealth of his family. While saying that he is indifferent to fame and wealth, he does not fight for power, but at the same time he strives for power and profit, and even establishes underground organizations such as the Mafia to do all kinds of harm to the country and the people.

This is just to keep my family in power forever, so that future generations can forever ride on the heads of the people and dominate."

——————

"If they are just cultivating immortality on their own and pursuing personal liberation, then that's fine. But they are talking about cultivating immortality and attaining Taoism. In fact, they want to seize power, evade the court, and enslave the people. Such metaphysics people from high-ranking families are just

He has become a more terrifying enemy than the northern barbarians, and is also my biggest opponent, Liu Yu!"

Fan Tai listened intently to Liu Yu's words for a long time before sighing: "The commander's words are all from the bottom of his heart and make people convinced. You have made it clear in one go that a noble family has been playing with metaphysics and has been causing trouble to the country for hundreds of years."

The essence of it is just like your performance on the stage when you exposed the Mafia and exposed Xi Chaochong with righteous words. I am really right to go out this time. What do you want me to do next?

Are you going to use your words to argue with the Qingxuan scholars and refute them?"

Liu Yu shook his head: "Now is not the time, Mr. Fan. In fact, you and I both understand these principles, but we should understand more that metaphysics has been a national study in the Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the people in power in the Jin Dynasty have all been metaphysics.

Even Xie Kun, the head of the Xie family after they crossed the Yangtze River, had to abandon Confucianism and follow Xuan Dynasty, and became an official in the rear of the Eighth Prince of Jiangzuo. Like your Fan family, you have persisted in Confucianism for many generations, and as a result, not even a county governor has been appointed.

It is difficult to succeed. If you want to evade the imperial power and make the family bigger, you need to use metaphysics. If you want to strengthen the imperial power, or make the country powerful and centralize the power of the court, you have to promote Confucianism. However, a hundred years of hard work cannot be achieved in a day.

Unfortunately, we currently have no talents who can replace the children of aristocratic families and govern the entire Jin Dynasty, and what talents are needed most, I believe you know better than me."

Fan Tai kept nodding his head: "Yes, the most important thing in governing a country is talents. To cultivate talents, you must rely on education. The reason why metaphysics is prosperous is that metaphysics have firmly controlled the country for hundreds of years.

The second reason for their great power is that they also control Guozixue and Taixue. With the promotion and recommendation system of the Jin Dynasty, if you want to become an official, you must successfully graduate from these official schools before you can be recommended. Both are indispensable.

.The commander-in-chief wants me to go to the local school to teach in the local school this time. Is it to educate the children and select talents in the local area?"

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "It takes ten years to cultivate trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. If you want to start from children and teach them useful talents, I am afraid it will take at least ten years. I am afraid I may not be able to be in power for so long. Today I have a heart-to-heart talk with Mr.

Just to clarify with you. This Jingkou Xiangxu is for the world to see. The purpose is not to predict how many of our brothers’ children will become talented, but to tell the world that as long as you serve the country, you will get certain rewards.

If you get a title, you can enter the Xiangxu and get an education. Even if you can't become an official in the court, you can still work as an official in the countryside. Although the capital is big, it is only one city, and the Jin Dynasty is thousands of miles away, and there are always a lot of available talents.

.This move is to encircle the cities from the countryside, and there is always a future in hard work!"
