Zhou Ziyi did not expect to be refuted by Lin Yanchao on this point. He used to argue with others about the scriptures, but he never met someone like Lin Yanchao, who is good at textual research.

For example, if you say anything like Lin Yanchao, the other party can find the source of every word you say and then argue. Can everyone be happy to reason?

But as a scholar and a minister of the Imperial College, Zhou Ziyi, had never read the Spring and Autumn Dew?

Zhou Ziyi spent his whole life studying the scriptures. As a master of Neo-Confucianism, he practiced the Five Classics. He did not read the books of Confucius and Mencius, nor did he teach the studies of Lian, Luo, Guan, and Fujian, so he obtained the essence of the principles. Although Dong Zhongshu was also a famous scholar, he was not among the top students in the spring and autumn.

Therefore, Zhou Ziyi was defeated by Lin Yanchao's theories, but it was not because of his principles.

Zeng Shengwu was on the side, and Wang Zhuan was resentful, and Zhou Ziyi was defeated unjustly!

This is not a crime of war. It would be fine if Lin Yanchao refuted Zhou Ziyi in righteousness, but you wouldn't do this, and you would work hard on sophistry and research.

This is a wrong way, and I can't accept it!

Seeing that Zhou Ziyi was at a disadvantage, Zeng Shengwu said that Wang Zhuanban planned to fight Lin Yanchao alone, but now he was about to fight together.

If you fight alone, you will choose one group of us; if you fight together, you will choose one group of us. Lin Yanchao will choose two roads.

Look! Several officials at the imperial examination were ready to go.

Zeng Shengwu coughed lightly and issued an order. Situated at the head of Wang Zhuan, an official in his forties put down his hands in his sleeves, brushed his sleeves, came out of duty and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I cannot agree with the words of Zhongyun in the forest!"

The little emperor heard Lin Yanchao and Zhou Ziyi’s debate at this moment, and saw that a officials from Shizhi’s lecture were on duty, and he looked afraid that the world would not be in chaos and said, “My dear, please speak.”

"Yes, your Majesty."

Lin Yanchao looked like Zhu Gu, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, and was considered a subordinate of Wang Zhuan. He heard that he was also a good at argumentation.

Zhu Gu walked to Lin Yanchao and stopped: "Lin Zhongyun's words are not the views of true Confucians. The sages said that the inner sage and the outer kings were said to be the inner sage, the inner sage, the Tao, the reason, the body; the outer kings were the instruments, the qi, and the use."

"I have said that if you scatter, you will be a tool. Since ancient times, tools have not left the Tao, and tools have not left the Tao. If you abandon the inner sage and talk about the outer king, you will leave the Tao and talk about the weapon. It is no different from donating the foundation and chasing the end. Is this the truth that children can know about three feet of children. Is it true that this is true Confucianism?"

Zhu Gu's words, all officials present who studied Yi, Metaphysics and Neo-Confucianism praised each other.

The metaphysical ones are called Tao, and the physical ones are called utensils.

This Tao and the artifact are from the Book of Changes. The Tao is invisible, metaphysical, and the artifact has tangible, physical and physical.

Lao Tzu said that if the servant (Dao) is dispersed, it is the instrument, that is, the Tao comes before the instrument.

Neo-Confucianism also believes that qi turns into Tao, and qi comes first.

Zhu Guo used the three schools of thought to say that Tao comes first, and the inner sage comes first before the outer king. The inner sage is the root, and the outer king is the end. Lin Yanchao left the inner sage and talked about the outer king, which means leaving the Tao talks about the weapon, putting the cart before the horse!

These sentences are really powerful. There has been a certain saying about Taoist instruments. It is almost impossible for Lin Yanchao to refute Taoist in this era before the artifacts.

When Wang Zhuan saw Zhuang appearing out of the horse, he smiled calmly, and then said, "This is a rational and upright person, not a person who only knows sophistry can respond."

Lin Yanchao heard that Zhu Gu was proficient in the Book of Changes, and was considered the biggest enemy here except Zhou Ziyi. Today, he did not refute him. The people below came up to fight, and he was not exhausted. So Lin Yanchao bowed and said, "Doctor Zhu is really worthy of the Fang family of Yixue. The Tao is the first of the arts. This is my Tzu. Zhu Zi's view, so I dare not refute it."

After hearing what Lin Yanchao said, Zeng Shengwu and Wang Zhuan nodded. You finally knew that you were wrong. Just be willing to surrender, but if you give in, we will fight together. Even if you lie down, you will still kick you hard. But Zeng Shengwu, Wang Zhuan, has not appeared yet, but the officials in the imperial lecture are full of anxiety. Why is Lin Yanchao refuted? They have not appeared yet. It is a pity that they cannot show their skills.

At this time, Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Dr. Zhu, you said that Tao is metaphysical. How dare you ask what Tao is? How can you understand Tao? You are not Tao, how can you know the Tao?"

Lin Yanchao's three consecutive questions froze Zhu Gu and said, "This. This is the book of the ancestors."

Lin Yanchao smiled and continued, "Dr. Zhu, why not listen to my words. Where the instrument is located, the Tao is there. If there is a tool, there must be a way. Without a tool, there is no way. If there is a Tao, there is no way. If there is a Tao, it will not be taken. If there is a Tao, how can you speak the Tao? Zhu looked for the three generations of ways, and looked at the scriptures in the old pile of papers, but did not know the way of the three generations. It is within three feet of daily use, and can be practiced at all times."

"In the world, it is better to know the details of those who hear it than those who see it, and it is better to know the details of those who live it. The Tao is in the tool and in the work of doing things. This is not to donate the foundation and chase the bottom, but to know the foundation from the end. Zhu Langzhong said that the Tao was not divided into things, and it was actually in vain to do his work, just like catching the moon in a well!"

Wang Zhuan just said that Lin Yanchao only knows fallacies and does not convince people with reason. Now Lin Yanchao is refuting it with great principles.

Zhu Gu said that the art was the first, Lin Yanchao said, yes, I am convinced of this principle, but let’s not talk about the principle, let’s talk about the application.

If you have no entity, you are just talking about the truth and have a good use. You are not telling yourself, so you can tell me why? The way of the inner saints of the three generations is too far away. If you read through the book, it must be the way of the inner saints of the three generations? Instead of doing this, it is better to understand the principle of the three generations of the three generations through practice. This is to practice and produce true knowledge!

Lin Yanchao said calmly and there was no slight ignition. Zhu Gu could only be present in the venue, and repeatedly said in the hall like a repeater, this, this!

"Your Majesty, what Lin Zhongyun said is inappropriate. I am not happy if I don't say anything!"

Another official was on duty. This person was the censor Geng Zhou, a member of Zeng Shengwu's disciple. Geng Zhou saw that Wang Zhuan was refuted by Lin Yanchao, so he hurried out to save the scene.

After hearing this, the little emperor thought to himself, what's wrong today? Why are they criticizing Lin Yanchao?

The little emperor said, "Your dear, please do whatever you want!"

Geng Zhou went out to fight, Zhu Gu raised his sleeve to wipe away the sweat from his forehead, and retreated aside.

After Geng Zhou solved Zhu Guan's urgent need, he asked: "I just heard the saying in the forest that I am far away from the Tao thousands of miles away! Zhu Zi said that Tao is something that has always been immortal forever, but has been ruined for thousands of years. Although there may be a well-off society, the way passed down by the three kings of Yao and Shun, Duke Zhou of Confucius, has never been able to move between heaven and earth in one day."

"The forest says that anyone with a weapon must have a way, but for thousands of five hundred years, the Tao has not existed, so how can you speak of a weapon?"

Lin Yanchao sneered: "Is it that the Han and Tang dynasties lost in thousands of years? Are you and I born in a world without light? We were diligent in the learning of Yao and Shun throughout our lives. Although we could not turn iron into gold, we could not use silver as iron. You said that the kings of Yao and Shun in the third dynasty could obtain the way. Didn't you hear that the way of heaven is normal, and that you would not be for Yao or for Jie. Is it true that the kings of Han and Tang dynasties were not as good as Jie in Xia?"

Geng Zhou couldn't answer after hearing this, so he stood in the hall.

"This is nonsense! What Zhu Zi said is humanity, not heaven." The one who went on duty was Wu Kan. When he saw Geng Zhou failing, he went on duty to save the situation. He did not report to the emperor first, but came directly to criticize Lin Yanchao.

At this moment, Zeng Shengwu and Wang Zhuan and the others ignored etiquette, righteousness, and their men did not say hello and swung their arms into battle.

I really understand the way of fighting in groups. (To be continued.)
