The Sixth Prince had never heard of such an argument.
He has heard many great truths and seen many hypocrites who appear to be upright gentlemen but are actually full of thieves and prostitutes. But this is the norm, isn't it
Precisely because everyone is like this, no one cares how many dirty things the other person has done under the guise of a fig leaf.
Before this, he really thought that everyone was like this.
Sister Hua’s argument is so fresh.
"Doesn't that mean that even if people do something wrong, they are just defeated by the selfishness in their nature?"
"Is that wrong?"
“Then why is there right and wrong?”
"Who decides right and wrong?" Hua Zhi glanced at him, her eyes showing both tenderness and strength. "Whoever holds the rules decides right and wrong, but right and wrong are not necessarily true. It has to do with one's position, the current situation, and the position of the person who decides right and wrong."
The words were a bit confusing, but the Sixth Prince understood them.
He lowered his eyes so as not to let Sister Hua see the ripples in his eyes. Now the one sitting in that position is his father, and if his father says that this person is right then he is right. But one day when a certain brother sits in that position and he says that this person is wrong then he is wrong. This is what Sister Hua said and it has to do with the position you are standing in.
Hua Zhi couldn't bear to give him any more strong medicine, so she turned to Zheng He's topic, "It's not that there aren't people with great love in this world, but compared to selfish people, there are so few that it's not worth mentioning."
Hua Zhi smiled, "Among the people I know, only Mr. Zheng can be considered half of it."
"Sister Hua speaks highly of Mr. Zheng."
"Ajian, you should pay more attention to the two teachers in the family school. They are both outstanding. Mr. Mu has a dignified character that few can match. There were more than 20 teachers in the Hua family school at that time, but after receiving the invitation from the Hua family, the others either avoided it, or just pretended that they did not receive the invitation, or evaded or declined. Only Mr. Mu, according to the housekeeper, came to receive the invitation in person, and immediately replied to accept the matter. When the Hua family was in such a bad situation, he was still willing to come to the Hua family to be a teacher, which is enough to show his character."
Looking at the young boy with a guilty look on his face, Hua Zhi continued, "Some things don't need to be learned. When you get to that given environment and the age you should understand them, you will naturally learn them. But character needs to be polished. At the age of ten, when character is being formed, Mr. Mu is more suitable to be a teacher than those great scholars. Don't look down on him, Ah Jian. He has many things that are worth learning from."
"Yes, I was wrong..."
"As for Mr. Zheng, the essential difference between him and ordinary scholars is that he did not regard studying as a stepping stone to advancement. His goal was not to become an official, so the books he read were not limited to classic historical collections and eight-part essays. It was precisely because of this that he was willing to leave the bustling capital to see the outside world and had such an open mind. Compared with most scholars, those who have read as many books as he has must not have walked as many roads as he has, and those who have walked as many roads as he has must not have read as many books as he has."
The Sixth Prince looked puzzled, "But Sister Hua, you said he is half..."
"Because he can't win all the battles against his nature."
Jiang Ziya was still playing the trick of luring the willing ones. If Zhuge Liang was really aloof from the world, there would not have been the opportunity for Liu Bei to visit him three times at his cottage. First of all, it was because they had ambitions in their hearts.
Do they only know the classics? No, they know everything from astronomy to geography, and have their own unique views on things. Zheng Zhi is not that knowledgeable yet, but he is still young. What about ten years later? What about twenty years later? If he keeps walking on that not-so-easy road to enrich himself, he may become a saint one day.
And he also has ambitions in his heart. If not, he would not leave Beijing!
Hua Zhi lowered her head and drank tea. This was the difference between teaching the prince and teaching Berlin. She couldn't teach the Sixth Prince what to do. If he was the future emperor, he didn't need someone to tell him what to do. If he was the next leader of the Seven Stars, she didn't need to put herself in that position.
She can only guide and only intends to be a guide. This is a safe distance that is neither too far nor too close. He will remember your kindness but will not feel that you have offended him.
After the Sixth Prince digested these words, he felt that his eyes suddenly became much brighter, as if there was a wall blocking his way, but now the wall has collapsed, and he can see farther. There may be thorns there, but he believes that there must be flowers among the thorns.
Looking at the person opposite him who seemed calm and composed as if he had said nothing, Gu Chengqian felt that Zheng Zhi must be really powerful, otherwise Sister Hua would not say so. But he felt that Sister Hua must be no worse than Zheng Zhi, even compared with those great scholars with wide reputation.
"Sister Hua, can I come to you if I have any doubts in the future?"
Hua Zhi raised her head and smiled slightly, "Do you know that I have never really learned from you, sir?"
The Sixth Prince was slightly stunned. In aristocratic families, even daughters would hire teachers, right
"My grandfather taught me a lot, and he would teach me when he had time. Most of the time I read books by myself. Everything I know comes from books, and then I think about it and make it my own. Do you still want me to answer your questions?"
"Yes." The Sixth Prince responded quickly and crisply, "I want it."
"Then I will agree to your request." There was something in Hua Zhi's smile that the Sixth Prince could not understand. "In fact, I am better at chess. You can come and play a game with me every day when you are free."
Of course the Sixth Prince would not respond. He nodded his head almost falling off. He had long heard from his little friend Berlin about how good Sister Hua was in this art. Moreover, he was born into a royal family, and even if he did not have that ambition, he still hoped to be a chess player. There were so many things that the art of chess could teach him, and he really hoped that it was Sister Hua who taught him these things!
Bolin didn't know how Hua Xian got the divorce letter back. He knew that Sister Shaoyao told him proudly. He only hated that he found out too late, otherwise he would have followed her. He really wanted to see such a ruthless Sister Hua.
Sister Shaoyao asked him if he would hate Sister Hua, after all, there was no shortage of ruthless people in the palace. He said he wouldn't, he really wouldn't.
His mother was always kind to others, but if someone set his sights on him, she would strike back with completely different ruthlessness than usual. He felt that Sister Hua was also such a person. She was fine with her usual behavior, but if someone attacked someone she cared about, she would definitely strike back fiercely.
He respects his mother so much, how could he hate Sister Hua
The Sixth Prince stood up and bowed deeply to Hua Zhi. Hua Zhi accepted the bow and said that she was willing to be a chess master.
