Ouyang Xiu rushed forward and bowed, "The Prime Minister said that the people's education is the virtue of the world, how can it be educated?"

Xu Ping said: "The court established a system and implemented it carefully. This is the teaching of the people. If the people have desires, follow it; if the people have doubts, solve it; if the people have difficulties, help it; if the people have ambitions, they can learn. This is the teaching of education. If there is a family management that is enough to set an example, commend it, and this is the teaching of encouragement. And education, and encourage it, and be moved by the people. The people use the court's system to cultivate their bodies and govern their families, which is the teaching of education."

The regime plays the role of a father. The education of the people is actually how to raise children. What Xu Ping said is the family education he was used to in his previous life. When it comes to heaven, it is the regime's governance of the people. Of course, the desire of the people is not to give whatever the people want, it is called spoiling, but to satisfy reasonable desires.

To do things, first ask the people if they want it. If they say they don’t want it, then forget it. It is really good for everyone, but what should the people do if the people don’t want it? Just do it by the government. For example, if the people don’t want to build a road, then the government will repair it by itself. Whoever wants to walk it will pay for it. Otherwise, if the road is repaired, some people will walk every day, some people will not walk for the rest of their lives, some people will feel it is unfair. The regime is the first in the hearts of the people, and the people will benefit the people in the second place.

Ouyang Xiu retreated, thinking that Xu Ping’s words made sense, but always felt something was wrong.

Sima Guang walked up and said, "I dare to ask the prime minister, if the principles and regulations are not established, what is the basis for human ethics? How can we educate all the people?"

Xu Ping said: "The court system is the main body and governance is the regular, which is the regular body of the world. People's hearts are for it, and they will be in harmony with others."

The people around were surprised. Unexpectedly, Xu Ping would really destroy and build up like this, even giving up all the human relations in the past, and start from scratch. Many people in Xu Ping asked politics to go away from here and from there. In fact, politics is omnipresent in society and cannot be left open. Ethics is a manifestation of politics in society and cannot be affected by politics. Those who are disgusted with this are mostly to adhere to tradition or learn something from other places. For example, Xu Ping wanted to collect property tax in his previous life, whether it was based on family or people, it would directly affect family ethics from economic interests, and you could not avoid it.

Sima Guang suddenly became so anxious that his face turned red: "Where is the Prime Minister's words? Where is the Three Bonds and Five Constant Persons? This ancestor's law is completed with etiquette and passed on to future generations to govern all peoples! With the court as the principle, how can all people seek education!"

Xu Ping sighed in his heart, but he still couldn't avoid this step.

The history of civilization records is the first to divide Taoism and Confucianism. Taoism abandons the real society and leaves the soul in that spiritual world, treats that world as reality, and treats the real world as illusion. Confucianism still records the real world to express that spiritual world.

Confucianism became Confucianism during the Warring States Period. Everyone could see that the methods recorded by Confucianism were hard to sustain. The Mohist school used gods and ghosts to replace the spiritual world, and gave up the whole world, without any dispute. Then, the two families of Mencius and Xunqing were divided, one was good in nature and the other was evil in nature, and each formed a set of governance methods. Xunqing's family later developed into a Legalist. Since human nature was evil, the regime naturally did not need to follow human nature, and everything was done according to the regime's methods.

Sima Guangxue was originally evil in human nature, but he advocated the use of etiquette, which was to make people abandon evil and follow good principles such as the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues. The ethical education they advocated was a reflection of the theory of temperament in politics, which influenced the entire Song Dynasty.

Xu Ping looked at Sima Guang and said, "Etiquette and virtue are manifested among the people. The Three Bonds and Five Constant Ones are manifested among the people. The virtue of the Han Dynasty is manifested among the people. The king actually wants to practice the Three Bonds and Five Constant Ones in this dynasty, so does the Han Dynasty have the virtue of the Han Dynasty?"

Sima Guang was stunned for a moment. The basic concepts of Tao, virtue, benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette are in sequence. The latter one is an extension of the previous one. However, in this era, everyone has their own understanding and various theories have been derived based on this. Sima Guang and others advocated the use of this set of etiquette to force it to the people, use etiquette to educate, and show the virtues of the world. This is the later etiquette.

Ouyang Xiu on the side said: "The virtues of the Han Dynasty were lost long ago and were scattered among the people. Etiquette and etiquette were used to gather them."

Xu Pingdao: "De, the way is revealed to the people. Virtue is based on Tao. Etiquette, and the people use virtue to achieve human ethics, which is transformed into virtue. Therefore, virtue is born and etiquette is formed by itself, and those who have never heard of etiquette can achieve virtue. Heaven and earth divide, virtue is transformed into benevolence and righteousness, and scattered in the world. The court performs benevolence and righteousness, and benevolence and righteousness to gain trust from the people, then virtue is born and virtue is born, and virtue is born. Do you want the court to carry out the violence of Qin with the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues? Leave its roots and chase its ends, and do not know what is said! Virtue is based on Tao, and etiquette is based on virtue. How can one disrupt the order? It is not a matter of seeking governance, but a question is a matter of seeking chaos!"

"The Han Dynasty is like a big mirror hanging on the sky, illuminating the hearts of all peoples, and achieving its virtue. This virtue and etiquette are the three pillars. The destiny of heaven no longer exists, how can the three pillars be continued? What is the destiny of heaven? It is in the hearts of people. Han and Liu distinguish their nature and seek their hearts, and want to seek the destiny of Han. The government of the court is now imposed on the world and wins the favor of all people, which is like the rising of the sun and the moon. The sun and the moon are in the sky, and the people's hearts are exposed to the sun and the moon, which will naturally form the virtue of the court. Virtue produces etiquette, and the world is ruled to the world, and the etiquette will be achieved!"

To put it bluntly, morality, benevolence, righteousness and courtesy are not only to satisfy the material desires of the people in the world, but also to satisfy the spiritual desires of the people in the world. Not only to live a better life than others as a Chinese, but also to have a sense of pride from the depths of the soul and a strong spiritual cohesion. With this spiritual cohesion, foreign civilizations, including religion, will have nowhere to attack the people of the world. When talking about faith, culture, etc., foreign civilizations will be laughed at by this civilization.

The political system, whether it is the capitalist system or the socialist system, can be included in this set of political principles. This is a spiritual political principle that transcends the political system. The parliamentary system, the presidential system, and the two-party three-party system do not matter to such a set of principles. It is just a way to choose such a group of people to play the role of the political rule to govern the world. For secular politics, this is very mysterious because it is originally a mythical color to fight against religious civilization.

It is precisely because the spiritual world is self-made, there is no natural reason in the world, there is no absolute justice, and everything belongs to this world. People think that one thing must be done in this way, which is derived from this spiritual world.

This set of morality, benevolence, righteousness and etiquette should not have entered the lives of the people. The people should follow the methods they learned from the regime to do things, and a set of principles for interacting with people, which is etiquette. After the founding of New China, people learned from the government's practices in their daily lives, which is the process of generating new etiquette, which should be natural. Sima Guang's school ignored reality and tried to force the Three Bonds and Five Constant Persons and went against the current, which had a very bad impact on future generations.

Yan Shu beside Xu Ping couldn't help but: "So, is the court doing good governance and benefiting the people in this way, and avoiding evil governance and harming the people?"

Xu Ping said: "There is no good or evil in the government, only the right one can uphold the right one. In the court, the people in the world who have no evil nature can only be punished by those who have no evil nature can only be punished by those who have no good nature can only be done by those who have no good nature can persuade them."

Yan Shu said: "After a policy comes out, the people will have those who are convenient, and those who are inconvenient. If there is no good or evil people, how can the government be upright?"

"It is okay to listen to the voices of the people and check the hearts of the people. If the government is inconvenient, there must be something. The court knows what it is. This is to check the hearts of the people. If the government is inconvenient, there must be something. The court knows what it is inconvenient and check the hearts of the people. If the people know the hearts of the people, it must not just listen to the sounds of the people. This is to know what the people think. Three hundred poems, and the Master said, "Thinking without evil", why? This is to say, "This is to know what politics is coming out and what the people think about," this is to check the hearts of the people. Knowing where the people's hearts are convenient, why not be inconvenient. The court gradually cultivates it, which is to cultivate virtue."

The name of the Book of Songs is not because it contains some great principles for governing the country, but because it only records poetry and what great principles can it be. It is because the Book of Songs records the voice of the people, and we can understand the hearts of the people from the voice of the people, and then compare how the rulers at that time treated the voice of the people and made adjustments to the governance. The world takes the hearts of the people as their mother, and the books record political activities, which is what the father is doing, and we also need to check the hearts of the people and know what the mother said. The combination of father and mother is a complete politics.

In Confucius' era, the record was the Book of Songs. In this era, it was folk speaking and small songs. In Xu Ping's previous life, it was popular songs, movies, TV, and Weibo forums. From these places, we know what the people think about the system and governance methods of the regime, and then modify them bit by bit to achieve the goal of conforming to the will of the people. This is to cultivate virtue.

Of course, there are various techniques for how to follow the will of the people after hearing the regime that emphasizes civilization and gain the greatest recognition. Because the most important thing is not to correct mistakes, but to gain a sense of identity, not a way to correct mistakes. Sometimes it is to improve immediately to make the people happy, and sometimes it is deliberately not to change something, which arouses public anger, and finally the regime comes forward to give the results the people want, so that the people deeply feel that this regime is always on their side.

Yan Shu asked that human nature has good and evil. When a policy comes out, the evil people think it is good governance, and the good people think it is evil politics. How can the regime judge? This is the theoretical reason why the legitimacy of the regime is attributed to the investigation and governance of chaos. Otherwise, the good people think it is a chaos era and the evil people think it is a governance era, and investigation and governance of chaos cannot provide legality.

In Xu Ping's previous life, the United States repeatedly struggled with the issue of making homosexuals legal for the same reason. If homosexuals are abnormal, making them legal is a harm to normal people. If it is normal, not allowing them to be legal is also a harm to normal people. This is a manifestation of the political impact of the theory of good nature and evil nature on politics, which will affect a lot of policies. Because the regime wants to gain the psychological recognition of the people under the rule, it cannot be avoided and cannot be vague. Not allowing normal people to have normal rights will make the people under the rule feel that the regime does not regard itself as its own people, and it is not to obtain the support of the few people.

The Chinese would not have such thoughts, because after a debate on temperament in history, we have come to the conclusion that human nature is simple. When encountering similar things, the regime takes a neutral position and does not participate, which has become a consensus.

In other words, the theory of good nature and evil nature is to recognize or not to believe that some of the human nature are abnormal and are not the psychological understanding that normal people should have. Which ones are normal and which are abnormal, and the regime should tolerate normality and abandon abnormality.

Homosexuality, feminism, racial issues, and political correctness are all intense from the perspective that the regime needs to tolerate all normal people. It is not just a problem for some people, but a legitimate statement of the regime towards certain groups of people.
