Liu Bei couldn't answer.

Fei Qian looked at Liu Bei and suddenly remembered an article in his childhood textbook. Now that he recalled it, it had a different flavor.

"When Confucius passed by the side of Mount Tai, there was a woman crying in mourning at the tomb..." Fei Qian read slowly.

Liu Bei was stunned, what does this mean? But he quickly recalled this passage. Because not only had he heard this passage when Lu Zhi was in class, Liu Bei had also read it himself.

"... Master listened to it and asked Zilu to ask him, saying: "When you cry, it seems that you are worried." He said: "However, in the past, my uncle died of a tiger, and my husband died again.

Now my son is dead again." Master said, "Why not go?" Fei Qian continued to read, and then looked at Liu Bei.

"A harsh government is stronger than a tiger..." Liu Bei cupped his hands and said, "Do you mean the harsh government at the moment?"

Fei Qian laughed, shook his head and said, "If that's the case, why did you call Xuande here? The great man is harsh on politics, and everyone in the world knows it! The emperor hangs in the court, and his corpse is poisoning the place! Corruption is rampant.

, the people are in dire straits! If this were not the case, why would the world be in chaos? How could we be in the current situation?"

Liu Bei swallowed, what he said was true...

"Excuse me, Xuande. Master, did you know about tyranny when you asked a woman? Or did you know the disadvantages of tyranny for a long time?" Fei Qian asked.

"This..." Liu Bei thought for a moment and said, "You must have known the disadvantages of harsh government for a long time..."

Fei Qian nodded and said, "Now that you know this, Master, do you know why it is so?"

"This...or maybe I know..." Liu Bei replied.

Fei Qian continued: "Knowing what it is and why it is what it is, how can we know what it should be? If there are new disadvantages, so what? Just like the iron that fixes the trap, what about Xuande's desire?"

Liu Bei was confused and speechless for a moment.

Liu Bei knew that this master who lamented that "tyranny is stronger than a tiger" was actually an example that Fei Qian compared to himself...

Liu Bei lamented the injustice of the Han Dynasty and the mediocrity of the court. He lamented a lot, but did he have a deep understanding of the reasons behind these sighs and the causes of these "injustices" and "mediocrity"? He even went a step further and did something.

To change these "injustices" and "foolishness"?

Confucius sighed on the side of Mount Tai, "More fierce than a tiger, fiercer than a tiger...", with a compassionate attitude. After a while, he got into the car and left. As for whether he felt pity for the woman.

Unfortunately, there is no record of giving some help or anything, so I don't dare to guess.

Then did the Master make any moves to change the "tyranny"?

Yes, but quite few.

Among the government reforms made by Confucius in the State of Lu, there are two that can be commended in particular. One is that he opened a private school and taught knowledge that was originally only circulated at the aristocratic level.

It was the implementation of the Three Capitals, which meant reducing the power of the three grand dukes in the Lu State. However, whether it was a private school or three capitals, Confucius had a beginning but no end.

Confucius ran away halfway through the private school. Those who could wander with Confucius followed him. Those who had no capital naturally interrupted their studies. As for the Three Capitals, they only had two, and the remaining one was difficult to deal with. Confucius

Then he gave up.

There is nothing difficult in the world as long as you are willing to give up.

While Confucius warned his students to study hard and work hard, he immediately turned to difficulties when encountering difficulties, indicating that the weather was no longer good, the rituals and music were broken, and it was beyond human power...

Logically speaking, Confucius claimed that he was "no longer confused", indicating that he had a clearer understanding of various issues in life. He also served as the chief minister of the Lu State, taking photos of prime ministers, and then killed Shaozhengmao in seven days and exposed his body in three days.

, so the Lu State was in great power, and under this background, the implementation of "Three Capitals" should have a good result, but in the end it was abandoned halfway.

The places where Liu Bei really served as the leader were Gaotang and Pingyuan.

Gaotang was from Gaotang Wei to Gaotang Ling. Logically speaking, there should be some emotion. In order to participate in the Jujube Alliance, Liu Bei mobilized all his soldiers and left. Soon Gaotang was defeated by the bandits.

Pingyuan, even the place where assassins praised Liu Bei's benevolence, but for Kong Rong, Liu Bei also left the country in full force and never returned to Pingyuan...

Therefore, what do the ordinary people in Gaotang and the plains who are looking forward to having a good official mean to Liu Bei? Are they like the woman under Mount Tai?

Is Liu Bei ambitious? Does he have the means?

All.

But...

When Dong Cheng came to find Liu Bei, things were indeed very difficult. Liu Bei felt that it was unreliable, so he ran away without saying a word. Tao Qian entrusted Liu Bei with all his small fortune, but the situation turned out to be wrong, and seeing that it was difficult to turn the tables, Liu Bei ran away again.

.Liu Biao asked Liu Qi to entrust him. Liu Bei saw that Sichuan and Shu were too tempting, so he couldn't help but abandon Liu Qi and ran away...

If Fei hadn't set a trap in Sichuan and Shu, and it happened to be restricted by the special terrain of Sichuan and Shu, Liu Bei would have escaped accidentally...

If it were other princes, it would be fine, but he had such an image of benevolence in front of him every day, and seemed to be asking for the lives of the people all the time.

Should we continue to hang on to the sign of benevolence and think all day long about fishing here and grabbing a handful there, or should we abandon the unrealistic ideas we had before, do something well, and insist on doing one thing well?

It depends on what Liu Bei chooses next.
