Chapter 16: The Hundred Schools of All Masters, Inclusive

Finally, Cao Shu spoke.

"Students think that reading Confucianism is good, and reading Legalism is good..." Cao Shu blinked his eyes and continued: "Not only Confucianism, but also Legalism is good, Taoism and Mohism are also good!"

Uh... Cai Yong asked casually, but never thought... This little guy led to two more companies... The key is that Cao Shu's words seemed to match his Cai Yong's point of view to a certain extent.

"Um..." A little stunned, Cai Yong took the initiative to squat down and asked with interest: "What are the characteristics of these theories? Taoism, Legalism, Mohism, Confucianism? What are the advantages?"

Cai Yong is a great scholar in the Confucian school... but it does not mean that he has no research on other schools.

On the contrary... his family has thousands of books and has acquainted with all kinds of books and schools of thought, especially his favorites of Taoism... He even has always advocated that all kinds of books and schools of thought are inclusive. Of course, Cao Shu, who is familiar with this history, is very clear about Cai Yong's proposal.

...

answer.

Cao Shu began to answer.

"Taoism contains all existence in nature; Confucianism helps progress and self-discipline; Mohism advocates science... no, innovation and pragmatism; while Legalism is opposed to human feelings..."

Uh... Cai Yong shivered, and all the Hongru trembled all over...

Speaking of which, the profound and profound theories of various schools have been interpreted clearly in a few words in a child... concise, concise... there is no unusual word, but it is very reasonable.

At this moment, everyone put away their contempt for this six-year-old child. When they looked at him, their eyes were shining... as if they were looking forward to his discussion.

Cao Shu's words... continue.

"According to what students see, Confucianism is indeed very good, but compared to the various theories, they are inclusive and eliminate the dross and retain the essence... Confucianism is still weaker."

Speaking of this, Cao Shu slammed his mouth. "That is why students want to read the theories when they are studying, and they want to integrate them into them...the examples are more thought-provoking!"

Uh... he is still thought-provoking? A six-year-old child has begun to "think-provoking"?

Suddenly, all the knowledgeable scholars... were stunned. They were a little suspicious. The words that appeared in their ears really came from this little thing in front of them?

It seems... I was originally planning to take the exam for him? Why did he feel like he was taught a lesson?

Everyone was a little confused for a moment!

Cao Song is no longer surprised...

Speaking of this grandson, in addition to diligence... his extraordinary memory and incredible understanding have long been amazed by him...

My son Cao Cao is smart enough, but he seems to be much weaker than his grandson Cao Shu. Could it be that by the generation of Cao Shu, the Cao family is really going to flourish?

Cao Song's thoughts had already flown out of the sky...

Coincidentally, there is another person's thoughts wandering in the sky like him.

Cai Yong, yes, it is Cai Yong... This knowledgeable scholar felt a "refreshing heart" all over his body, which was so comfortable.

——"Each school of thought is inclusive, removes the dross and retains the essence..."

These words echoed in his mind for a long time...

This? This view...isn't it the direction he and Qiao Xuan have been working hard on?

Abolish all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone... This government order during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han... cannot be wrong, but... if the various schools of thought have orderly and restrained growth and gather the strengths of the hundreds of schools, can't they support the future of such a huge empire?

This is a question worth pondering. Cai Yong and Qiao Xuan have been thinking about it for a lifetime, but they have never dared to put it into practice... I never thought that today, Lang Lang thought of it from a little guy's mouth.

...

It is hard to find a confidant... At this moment, Cai Yong actually felt the smell of a "confidant"...

This feeling is very wonderful. I once appeared in a conversation with Qiao Xuan, who is over 60 years old. This is the second time... and the other party is just a six-year-old child.

"Why don't gentlemen speak?" Cao Shu's tender voice sounded again. "Is it the students' words wrong..."

Uh...not right? What's wrong...No, the summary is quite incisive.

The teachers looked at each other... all turned their attention to Cai Yong, which was related to the theories of various schools. He didn't comment? Who dared to speak?

“Very good, very good!”

After a few more breaths, Cai Yong finally retracted his mind. His eyes almost narrowed into a slit, and he could only read two words in his mouth - very good.

Apart from this, there is no other words... the only thing that stirs up my heart is the boiling blood.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little strange, Cao Song hurriedly waved his hand with a smile. "Hurry, bring the prepared dates, chestnuts and guava to satisfy all the cravings."

Dates and chestnuts were used for sacrifices in the Han Dynasty and were very precious. If it were not for a wealthy family like the Cao family, they would never have prepared such precious fruits.

As for...guava, it was the sowing method brought back by Zhang Qian on a mission to the Western Regions during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han...

It has not been popularized on a large scale, and it is even more rare. The price of a pomegranate on the market is as high as a county magistrate’s salary for half a year.

"Dear colleagues, after so long, eat some fruit..." Cao Song seemed extremely hospitable... "Try this pomegranate from the Western Regions."

"Little guy, let's eat it too!" Cai Yong took the initiative to pick up a guava and handed it to Cao Shu.

"Can you give me one more?" Cao Shuo's childish words came out again.

Uh... Cao Song was stunned... This, such a precious guava was specially made for Cai Yong and other erudite scholars to taste... Cao Song himself was reluctant to eat it... His grandson Cao Shu was so good, he wanted two in a row? It was a bit... unpolite!

Huh? Haha.

Cai Yong smiled slightly, took another pomegranate and handed it to Cao Shu. However, Cao Shu quickly stuffed the first guava into his clothes... the huge pomegranate... stretched his chest so hard?

"Are you?" The whole group of the scholars were a little surprised? Is this little guy so greedy? It would be fine to eat a pomegranate, but he would have to take another one away? Sure enough, even if he had some talented people, he was still not old and ignorant.

Thinking of this, he shook his head.

Um? What is he going to do?

Cai Yong... but felt a little other meaning, lowered his head and asked Cao Shu softly:

"Little guy? Why do you hide one of this guava? Is it greedy? Keep it until the evening to eat?"

"No! This is left for the Grandpa." Cao Shu's eyes rolled, and his expression became pitiful. "The Grandpa specially spent a lot of money to buy these pomegranates, but he was reluctant to eat them... I want to hide one and leave it for the Grandpa to eat after you all the gentlemen left."

Uh... Leave it? Leave it for the grandma to eat?

Cao Shu's voice was not loud, but it was just these tender words... like a bolt from the blue.

Huh... Huh...

How sensible, filial, and... I can also think of hiding an expensive pomegranate for Grandma to eat... Oh my God, this little guy is so cute.

The great scholars looked at each other... For a moment, they felt a little guilty. Such a sensible child actually... misunderstood him as a little greedy cat! Sin, sin!

In fact, the reason for doing this is because Cao Shuo knew that the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety...

To gain the favor of these knowledgeable scholars, knowledge alone is not enough, and we must closely revolve around the word "filial piety".

"Sun...sun son..." Cao Song's tone became a little hoarse. Grandson Cao Shu... was thinking about him, the old man... It was not in vain to cherish him so much.

Thinking of this, there were tears in the corners of my eyes. This feeling... has not appeared for decades.

Sure enough, while the heaven closed a door, he opened a window.

The "filial piety" that my son Cao Cao did not experience, just relying on this behavior of caring for pomegranates, the grandson Cao Shu... has made up for it all!

...

...

Looking at the tears of grandfather Cao Song, he listened to the praises of the learned scholars.

Understandably, Cao Shu smiled, and his purpose was achieved... The most practical label of "filial piety" in the Eastern Han Dynasty was established.

Need to know.

In the biography of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Shu likes a character very much, the talented man from Eastern Wu - Lu Ji.

The reason I like him is because of the story of Lu Ji Huaiju's filial piety to Ah Niang...

When Lu Ji, who was only six years old, met Yuan Shu in Jiujiang... Yuan Shu gave him some oranges, and Lu Ji hid three oranges in his arms... Yuan Shu asked him with a smile, are you afraid that others would laugh at you and steal oranges?

Lu Ji knelt on his knees, "My mother likes to eat oranges very much, I want to take a few back for my mother to eat."

Because of this incident, there is a rumor that Lu Ji's filial piety is everywhere... His future career will also be smooth...

From this we can see that the Han Dynasty attached great importance to "filial piety"...

Cao Shu just copied Lu Ji's deeds... turning oranges into guava, and coupled with the Oscar-like performance... no wonder he was able to cheer all over the house.

Thinking of this, Cao Shu's eyes blinked... He thought to himself that the appetizers were all served, and it was time to start the real entrance exam.

Of course, at this moment, together with Cai Yong, a group of learned scholars, have undergone a sudden change in their views on Cao Shu...

Many of them even think... six-year-old Cao Shu may be really qualified to study in the Imperial Academy.

Ahem.

Cai Yong coughed, and the whispers in the entire hall stopped immediately, and everyone was sitting upright... They knew that the exam for the Taixue Xiao Cao Shu was about to begin.

"Teacher Li, come first." Cai Yong ordered...

A middle-aged man behind him took a step forward and stroked his beard slightly. "Little guy, I am a teacher at the Imperial College Primary School. You can call me Uncle Li."

"Hello Uncle Li." Cao Shuo was very polite. He shouted while bowing and bowing. Who doesn't like it?
