"A Yuan's ambition lies in his ability to live without losing his life!"

Xu You's body shook violently, looking at the green silk cloth barrier, his eyes were filled with incredible surprise. After a while, he came to his senses and said, "Those who are most righteous will not lose their life! Sanniang turned out to be Zhuangzi..."

This sentence is the essence and foundation of Zhuangzi's thoughts. To put it simply, the so-called truth and right path is the true feelings that return to the original heart and conform to nature.

Yuan Qingqi smiled and asked, "So what? The world's metaphysics is prosperous. Since we talk about mystery, how can we not read Zhuangzi?"

"It's not that I can't. It's just that the Yuan family in Chen County is the Confucian scholar in the world. I heard that Mr. Yuan was strict in his family management, and he also took the Five Classics and Six Arts as the main focus, so it's a bit...well, a bit strange..." Xu You said with a wry smile.

"In the Confucian classics, there is no saying that one cannot read Zhuangzi."

Yuan Qingqi's tone was light, just like the morning breeze blew across the grass all over the ground, and inadvertently blew off the dewdrops on the green leaves, which sounded really refreshing.

Xu You was a little funny. Unexpectedly, Yuan Qingqi was still good at sophistry. He really read the experience of Zhuangzi. He immediately returned the person to the other person with his own way and said, "I don't need to say some things too clearly. Mencius and Zhuangzi were in the same era, one was from Lu and the other was from Song. They were not far apart. But why did Mencius mention Zhuangzi from the empty words in his works? There is never a record of meeting the two people in the handed down books? They were all saints who were the saints who were the Warring States Period with the benefit of tongue argument, but they never interacted with each other. This can only show one problem, that is, the two people dislike each other. Since this is the case, as a Confucian scholar, you should not read Zhuangzi's books."

"Qilang's words are wrong!"

Yuan Qingqi changed his name, from a more distant "Xu Lang" to a closer "Qilang", and learned from the tone he spoke when he refuted himself just now, saying: "Mencius was eager to use the world, to correct people's hearts, stop evil words, stay away from the other side, and make a spoiled speech, dozens of chariots, hundreds of followers, and turn to eat from the princes. This is the ambition pursued by people who enter the world. Zhuangzi is different. He lives a life of clothes and shoes, weaving shoes, and wearing yellow necks, and is a hermit who is born in the world, pursuing inner peace and natural inaction. As for the benefits of tongue argumentation you mentioned, perhaps Mencius likes to teach others so much, but Zhuangzi's "Theory of Qiwu" has already expressed his position, that is, he is speechless, and debate is actually invincible!"

Zhuangzi is indeed not a debater. He debates with others because others start first, such as the debate with Hui Shi in "Xiaoyaoyou" and the debate with Cao Shang in "Lie Yuko". If we only start from this perspective, we cannot refute Yuan Qingqi.

Xu You suddenly felt like he was bickering with his girlfriend in his previous life. The only difference may be that bickering in his previous life was just for bickering. In this era, the dispute over Confucianism and Taoism was a collision of thoughts and beliefs, involving all aspects of politics, military, and people's livelihood. We must not be taken lightly!

However, he then understood why Yuan Qingqi had to instruct Shui Xi to pour tea. It seemed that he had made up the idea of ​​arguing from the very beginning, or used the most popular statements of people nowadays. This kind of debate is also called "clear talk".

"Zhuangzi just doesn't like face-to-face debate, but may not really like debate. Otherwise, why did he criticize Confucius' remarks and views many times in the book, and describe him as various strange and strange looks?" That is to let Confucius split his personality and play different roles according to Zhuangzi's needs. "Sometimes he raised Confucius high, but only to show his correctness and far-sightedness; sometimes he put Confucius in a position second to him, and he was just like Lao Dan and Guan Yin, and he belittled his status and achievements; sometimes he showed great compassion and finally made Confucius appear as his original appearance, but he was often taught by Lao Dan and his lessons; even worse, he scolded him for saying that the great scholar who was standing outside the tomb to command the tomb robbery with poetry and etiquette, and who did he mean Confucius?"

As a person who grew up in another time and space, Xu You is a typical atheist and does not have a firm religious belief. The reason why he knows a lot about the Confucianism and Taoism is just the instinct of being a history lover. So although he stands in the Confucian position and argues with Yuan Qingqi about Taoism, in fact, deep down, he may not think that such a debate is sacred, but just follow the other party’s words and talks about it!

If Yuan Qingqi changed his position at this moment and became a fan of Confucianism, then Xu You actually didn't mind turning against the Taoist side, learning Zhuangzi's oral skills, and showing off his verbal advantage.

"This is Zhuangzi's heavy words. From Huangdi, Lao Dan to Confucius, and those fictitious characters, they are just instruments he used to use the past to mock the present, to promote the truth and suppress the current theory." Yuan Qingqi smiled angrily and said, "How come Qilang said this, but he became a tricky and mean villain..."

Although Xu You couldn't see her at this moment, a picture of a beautiful woman's angry and graceful appearance automatically appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but want to lift the barrier and see how this woman who even famous monk Tan Qian never forgets her was "dazzling in her heart, but beautiful in her eyes."

However, his body still didn't move at all!

...

If we really want to debate the differences between Confucianism and Taoism, we can’t finish it for three days and three nights. But at the root, under the guidance of the heart of right and wrong, Confucianism has determined the fundamental order of the world - benevolence, righteousness and morality, and then expanded and cultivated through artificial ways such as mindfulness, intellect, mindfulness, and cultivation, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of everyone abide by benevolence, righteousness and morality.

Taoism believes that once a person has a mind of right and wrong, he will deviate from the Tao, which is the so-called "removing the nature and following the heart". The more he forcibly promotes governance and education, the more it will be counterproductive and puts the world into greater chaos. Therefore, he proposed to return to his true nature and let nature go, and realize the realm of Tao from nature.

One wants to actively establish order for the world, while the other allows the world not to change its nature because of any external factors. It seems completely irreconcilable, so naturally no one can convince anyone!

"Let's talk about the benevolence and righteousness mentioned just now," Yuan Qingqi sighed lightly: "Since the three generations, the world has been surging, rituals and music have been broken, and Confucianism has inspired benevolence and righteousness and roared and ran around. However, this is the 'changing nature with benevolence and righteousness', which has caused the turmoil and uneasy since the Qin and Han Dynasties, and can no longer reproduce the Qingming prosperous times of the three generations. The villain sacrifices his life for profit, the scholar sacrifices his life for reputation, the doctor sacrifices his life for family, and the saint sacrifices his life for the world, but fame and fortune, the family, country and the world are just a thousand-foot bird. Only this life that does not lose its nature is the pearl of the Sui Hou. How false is it to sacrifice his life for the bird?"

Xu You was a little surprised that Yuan Qingqi's insight was so thorough. He knew the truth and the reason. He read the essence of Taoism thoroughly. He was about to answer, but he was reluctant to listen to her and asked, "Does Qilang know that King Hengyang is coming to Jinling to stay?"

Well?

This is not a rhythm of playing cards according to routines. Everyone is dry and talking about the debate. If you make a summary statement, you have to give me a chance to summarize. However, unreasonableness is a privilege for girls. Xu You still has this kind of demeanor, and nodded and said, "I heard from him when I bid farewell to Mr. Yuan in the morning."

"Can Qilang know that the King of Hengyang is likely to propose marriage to his father when he comes."

Xu You couldn't figure out Yuan Qingqi's meaning for a moment and smiled and said, "The King of Hengyang is valuable and elegant, so he is indeed a good match for Sanniang!"

Yuan Qingqi chuckled again, without being upset, nor shy, and said, "Have Qilang ever dated King Hengyang? Otherwise, how would you know that this person is elegant and generous?"

"That's not, it's just hearsay."

"So Qilang must not know that the princess of King Hengyang was originally the daughter of He clan of Kuaiji. She was always healthy, but after only one year of marriage, her face was as if she had withered and died..."

Xu You frowned and said, "What Sanniang said is, is there something else in this matter?"

"This matter is secret and involves the inner palace, so there are not many people who know it. King An Xiuyuan of Hengyang is a manly person and raises many children in the mansion, one of which is named Qi Xiaoji, who is the most favored. People often do not wear silk threads in the mansion, and openly proclaim licentiousness in the forest. Although the He girl was not jealous, she could not bear the behavior of King Hengyang, so she repeatedly advised her that she would expel Qi Xiaoji out of the mansion."

Yuan Qingqi's tone was calm, without any sense of charm, and would not make people think of lustful things. Although the trend of this era is very open, it is still calm and normal to talk about such things with strangers, and it is not something that ordinary women can do.

"Qi Xiaoji naturally would not be able to stand dead, and there were many slanderous ridicule in front of An Xiuyuan. Later, one day, An Xiuyuan drank too much and had sex with Qi Xiaoji and others. He happened to be hit by the He girl. His words became a little angry, which made An Xiuyuan angry and made Qi Xiaoji and other children rape her in public... How could the He girl bear this insult? She died that night. Afterwards, in order to cover up the scandal, An Xiuyuan killed all the children and slaves present that day. Only Qi Xiaoji was able to save her life because of her favor, but she could no longer stay in the palace. She received the rewarded money and left the people without a trace."

Xu You suddenly realized that no wonder Yuan Jie refused An Xiuyuan's proposal without hesitation. He originally thought it was for the rumor between him and Princess Haiyan, but when he thought about it carefully, the rumor was just a rumor. With Yuan Jie's cunning, he would not have avoided a prince of the Holy Jung-Ching-Long because of an unproven rumor. There must be a deeper reason.

After hearing Yuan Qingqi's words, I realized that An Xiuyuan had done such lawless deception. In Chu, he was not a good man, and it was not even a flaw. However, he was so good that even the girls of He family dared to abuse him, which led to a poor life. It was hopeless! Yuan Jie must have been due to the tragic experience of the He family's daughter. He would rather marry the Xu family, a native Jiangdong clan, who had always looked down upon, and would have to break An Xiuyuan's idea!

However, An Xiuyuan is not unique to the fact that his wife died because of the child. Xu You read "Book of Jin? Records of Shi Jilong", and there is a record in it: "Shi Jilong is the wife of General Guo Rongmei. Ji Long favored the servant Zheng Yingtao and killed Guo, and even accepted the daughter of Cui in Qinghe, and Cherry Tao slandered him and killed him." It was also a dispute between the wife and the child, Shi Hu actually killed two wives in a row, and these two wives were not ordinary people. One was the sister of Guo Rong, the general of Guo in Fenyang, and the other was the daughter of Cui in Qinghe. He had a prominent family, but he still couldn't compete for a child!

The male style is so strong that it is so!

"Since everyone else died and Qi Xiaoji disappeared, An Xiuyuan must be silent and would never mention this matter again, and He family in Kuaiji would not say it. Such a secret, how did Mr. Yuan find out the details of this matter?"

"The answer to this question involves a lot of complex things. I don't want to lie to Qilang nonsense, so it's better not to answer!"

Xu You did not ask questions and thoughtfully: "I guess Mr. Yuan sent someone who was capable to do an investigation, but the information he sent was not seen with his own eyes may not be all true..."

Yuan Qingqi's tone suddenly became playful again, and she said, "This is reasonable, no, it is very reasonable. For example, the information about you is three feet high on the desk, but almost no one is correct... It can be used to kill people, write, and it is also full of words and has a brilliant literary talent. How can it be as vulgar as the information says?"

Xu You was amused and cried, and said, "Does your mansion particularly like to investigate others... huh?"
