Chapter 69 Hundreds of Schools
Wang Yu took the initiative to ignite the Thirteen Sutras, making it the firewood in the northwest sky, and this power is now under Su Ye’s control!
However, he himself did not accept the torch, nor became the star king of the Northwest Heaven.
This is equivalent to giving Su Ye completely the Thirteen Sutras, but giving up sharing the power of Zhulong!
For a moment, Su Ye didn't know why he did this.
However, Wang Yu turned to speak, but he immediately understood: "The Emperor's way of fire is the great way to bring peace to the world, and it is good! However, if I accept the way of fire, it will go against the original intention of Datong. I am willing to use the Thirteen Sutras as firewood to help you achieve harmonious and great good. But I will never be able to follow this way."
When Su Ye heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Wang Yu's move was to insist on himself and not to reject the torch.
This is undoubtedly a bit contradictory. However, it is exactly what he can do!
That being said.
Su Ye asked: "You rejected the Torrent Road, where will the future go?"
Wang Yu said: "I still have to go back to the Great Zhou and spend my whole life preaching the great harmony."
Su Ye said: "But you have seen that your thoughts will not be achieved in the end, and will only be misinterpreted and used."
Wang Yu smiled and said, "What the Emperor said is good! But if I did not promote Datong, would the world be better?"
Su Ye suddenly realized.
Yes.
Even if Wang Yu did not promote the Datong theory, or there was no "ethics" in history, people's desires are still there!
Without his ideas, there will be other ideas.
The general trend of the long river of history cannot be changed by one person. Even if this person is a saint.
But in other words, would the world be better without the idea of this "saint"?
No, it will only be more savage.
Although Wang Yu's great harmony cannot change the world, it can give the world one more direction. Although it cannot change the "household" and the lack of "food and clothing" can make the troubled times have hopes when the trouble comes, and the pursuit when the prosperous times come.
Even if this is always just an illusory dream, even if everyone knows that it cannot be realized. But a slave has faith and is always better than nothing.
Perhaps this dream is just for mortals. After all, in the eyes of "gods", mortals are insignificant. Even if they receive some redemption on their souls, what's the use? Moreover, everyone will not have the opportunity to change because of this.
However, Wang Yu did not think so. He still felt that this was very important, and for this reason, he even gave up the opportunity to "become a god".
The title of saint is well deserved!
In order to believe in one's own belief, it is better to give up the path of immortality. In fact, Wang Yu can live forever as a god and spread the "Thirteen Sutras" as a god.
But if he did that, maybe he was not him anymore. Whether it was Zhulong or the ancient masters, they had left this world, and they did not care about mortals. Su Ye himself would not care about all mortals. But Wang Yu was willing!
Or, is this actually a kind of stupidity?
Su Ye was silent.
At this moment, Wang Yu spoke again: "Emperor, what will happen to the world without the Thirteen Sutras? Please let me take a look."
Su Ye looked at Wang Yu.
After a moment, he nodded, and then triggered the power of the torch. Suddenly, in the flames, a world without the Great Consensus was deduced again.
Without the Thirteen Sutras, there would naturally be no "rituals" born. However, the world did not become better because of this.
The wise king has not changed, and the foolish king has not changed. The world still experiences rise and fall with the changes of the times. Although there is no cloak of ethics, the idea of "the power of the king" still exists, and the ignorance of the world will only be worse! People living at the bottom also see no hope.
That was a more chaotic future.
Even in the future, the Zhou people no longer had their own cultural heritage. Even when foreign races invaded, they failed to assimilate them, but there were signs that the building would collapse.
After seeing all this, Wang Yu's eyes were determined to be firm - he wanted to implement his thoughts to the end! Although he could not change the general trend of history, he made China more complete.
This is enough!
The scene quickly dissipated. Wang Yu held the salute in both hands and looked at Su Ye: "Thank you, Emperor, I will say goodbye!"
His purpose has been achieved.
Although I have not attained enlightenment, I have heard of enlightenment.
It’s enough to die in the evening!
Of course, Wang Yu no longer misses the starry sky in the northwest. He is about to leave.
but.
Su Ye did not mean to let him go: "Master, let's wait."
With the sound, the flames around them gradually dissipated and turned into starlight again.
The dragon head in the sky gradually disappeared, and then a koi appeared from the nebula and fell in front of Wang Yu.
The galaxy with extinguished flames, the sea of heaven shines with countless streams of light, which looks like a sense of comfort and coolness.
"Emperor, are there anything else?" Wang Yu asked.
Su Ye said: "Do you think 'ethics' is worthy of your Datong theory?"
Wang Yu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Su Ye to ask this question.
But he thought about it carefully. After thinking for a long time, he said, "It's one-sided."
Su Ye nodded.
Wang Yu’s theory of Datong is actually not the Confucianism of “Confucius” that he remembers.
When he first met Wang Yu, Su Ye thought he was a person similar to Confucius, but in fact he was not.
Confucius' etiquette is the age, the highest and the lowest, and everyone is orderly. Although it is equal, it also has limitations, such as it is not applicable to slaves. This is because he himself has been subject to many limitations of the times.
The feud between Confucianism and Mohism is due to class opposition!
But Wang Yu is different. He is more like a mix of several "sages" in his memory, and his thoughts are beyond the times.
Although there are many contradictions, they are subtle and unified. The "Datong Theory" can not only take into account the rulers, but also pay attention to people's livelihood. It not only affects both love and obeys etiquette. It only neutralizes all oppositions because of "equality in character and position".
He is more like the prototype of the collection of various philosophers in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Of course, the generalization of the Datong theory by "rituals" is one-sided and does not apply to Wang Yu's entire thoughts.
Su Ye said: "Although your thoughts are all-encompassing, you can avoid the important things in the future. The Thirteen Sutras have now served as firewood. If they are misinterpreted by the Zhou people in the future, if I am still there, I will never be able to stand by and watch! Therefore, I hope you can split the Thirteen Sutras, break up your own thoughts, enlighten your disciples, and let the three thousand people pass on the spark and renew everything!"
Wang Yu's eyes lit up: "Split the Thirteen Classics?"
Su Ye nodded: "Not bad! If each thought of the Thirteen Classics is independent and everyone is equal, not the only one. Even if there are misinterpretations, there will be supplements. And the sparks burn and become a sea of flames. In the future, it will surely be able to achieve the cornerstone of Chinese thought!"
Yes, at this point, Su Ye has already confirmed that Wang Yu is the most suitable candidate.
If he promotes the ideas of hundreds of schools and spreads the teachings of the world, then the classics of hundreds of schools will definitely be filled with new firewood and burning the sea of stars like the Thirteen Sutras!
