Chapter 603: The Confucian Sect and the Saints(1/2)
Le Zhengchun showed his sleeves and shook his sleeves: "Zhongni does not like the music of Zheng State, but the common people think it sounds nice. Zhongni does not like the people of Zheng State wearing purple clothes, but Zheng State does not mind the difference between vermilion and purple."
"What Zhongni doesn't like, the people in Zheng like it, and what Zhongni likes, the people in Zheng don't like it."
Le Zhengchun's words at this time almost shocked everyone! At this Confucian orthodox conference, he was the leader of the Eight Lines and one who had learned Taoism by Zeng Shen. However, what he said now was to first scold Mencius as a foolish fool who did not eat meat, and then refute Zhongni as a decay who was alone. This not only made many people look weird, but also had a saint's face extremely ugly!
"A dog and horse! Happy! Are you a dog and horse! Are you a villain?"
"Mr. Xi'ai had said four kinds of Confucian scholars before. I didn't care. I laughed at them in my heart, but I didn't expect to see you now!"
"How dare you slander Zhongni? As a Confucian, you are insulting the Confucian clan! You are worthy!"
In an instant, the crowd was excited. Not only the saints and sages spoke, but also the unbearable Hong Ru, who was too arrogant and rude. Le Zhengchun laughed absurdly for a few times and snorted suddenly!
The sound is like thunder! The noise is destroyed!
"How can I not say it!"
Le Zhengchun sneered: "Didn't you yell that Zhongni's Tao has become corrupt? When the world changes to continue the glory of Confucianism, why do I really stand in the position of Confucian saints and scold the ancestors? But you are like a rat with a trampled tail, jumping up and biting people impatiently?"
"Let me give an example, can you tell who started to be stronger in Qin?"
Zixia said: "I offered public power to promote Duke Xiao, and Duke Xiao also recommended Shang Yang's reforms, and Qin began to be stronger since then."
Le Zhengchun: "Mr. Zixia is exactly what he said! Duke Xian did not establish Prince Qian and established Duke Xiao. When Duke Xiao ascended the throne, Gan Long Du Zhi and others pretended to support him. When Duke Xiao made a call for recruitment, these old nobles brazenly attacked, saying that Duke Xiao scolded his ancestors for being a great rebellion."
"What did Duke Xiao of Qin say? Duke Jian, although he was a ancestor, was a worm that chaotic country and became a puppet of the White Emperor. It has been a hundred years of misleading the country. How can I say it?"
"And what happened before King Hui of Liang died?"
Le Zhengchun laughed: "Everyone, I once heard an interesting thing from the Dashi family, saying what was recorded by the historian of Wei. In the past, King Hui of Liang was about to die. He hoped that the historian would hide the dirty things in his life, but the historian said that it must be recorded truthfully. So King Hui of Liang was furious and wanted to kill the historian, but the historian said that even if he killed him, this matter would be recorded."
"So King Hui of Liang gave up and finally understood the right and wrong, merit and demerit, so let future generations comment on it."
"Now I scold Confucianism, just like Duke Xiao scolds Duke Jian, my ancestors could not scold the country? Is it impossible for my ancestors to mislead the truth? Is it impossible for my ancestors to mislead the truth?"
Le Zhengchun's voice suddenly increased, his expression became extremely ferocious, and his anger burst out!
"Who still has to argue with this principle and here!"
The saints were angry, but Wan Zhang said unwillingly: "It's a strange thing! Mr. Le Zheng said that the family master is a fool who does not understand the world, and he knows it but does not do it. But why did Mr. Le Zheng not say that something happened in the world. Is it because King Hui of Liang who has no rules and no principles to govern, so how could it be put on the head of the family master!"
"Can the world be drought not be cured? Going back to ancient times, Dayu controlled the flood, and passed by his family three times but did not enter. In the thirteenth year of the world, the river was stable and the river was stable. Before, Gonggong and Gun both failed to control the flood, which took fifty years. However, Dayu could control it, and the world was settled in just thirteen years. Could it be that Dayu was an ordinary person?"
"The king does not understand the rule of the world, and the saints are just giving opinions. According to Mr. Le Zheng, the saints should not preach their own principles. They should hide the world in the mountains and fields, and govern without doing anything. This is the idea of pursuing the heavens, not the thoughts of the sages!"
"How to talk about these eight veins of Confucianism!"
Le Zhengchun laughed: "King Hui of Liang did not understand the principle of governing the country, but Meng Ke was also a stupid fool! Fire rats can enter the fire without being hurt, swimming fish can enter the abyss without being broken, and swimming fish can be killed immediately when they go ashore, and fire rats will go to the sea and drought will cause rain to occur on the spot. How is this possible?"
"It is not suitable for reasons. When it is time to take out the truth but cannot take it out, it is a bad help!"
"Same, it also shows how stupid this person who speaks absurd words is!"
Le Zhengchun cursed Wan Zhang on the face. At the same time, other Confucian sages here were angry and cursed Le Zhengchun and also scolded Zeng Shen. Zengzi had a straight temper and could withstand such grievances. He stabbed the knife in front of him on the spot and stood up and cursed him.
Fortunately, no one took off his shoes.
All truths are truths, and if they can be easily convinced, it will not be enough for them to pursue and learn for a lifetime.
This is different from the leverage. The truths they say are tenable and can be found dialectical, rather than bastard words like "You know what a bullshit, you haven't seen it before."
However, the Confucianism in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was different from the later Confucian scholars who were powerless. It would be normal if you could not argue.
In this era, Confucian scholars were also very good at fighting. For example, Zi Zhang Zilu and his group were the most powerful representatives. In the past, Confucius was robbed, and a disciple stood up and shouted that he would live and die with his teacher, and then he beat all the robbers with a wooden stick.
"What does Xun Qing say?"
Zhong Liangzi still needs to be a little shame. After all, this is his home court and he did not participate. Instead, he looked at Xunzi who had never expressed his feelings when the group of people were yelling.
"Well... why didn't I see that guru named Long Su?"
Xunzi did not express it directly, but suddenly asked about other things.
Zhong Liangzi laughed: "Why did Xunzi care about the younger generation?"
Xunzi said: "The world's test was a big test in the past. The candidates were at a loss for the whole mountain. Only she could solve the answer. At that time, she also served as an examiner in Jixia. She was talented and I have seen it, but this time I saw the person you selected... it was not her, I was a little surprised."
Zhong Liangzi said: "I was traveling far away because I didn't know these things, but I heard about Lianshan that year."
Chen Liang was beside him and said at this time: "Xunzi should know that Long Su was appointed by King Wu Yue this time, so it is naturally impossible for him to walk on the road easily."
"Fair, just, I don't understand what others are thinking about, but I have my own rules."
"Wu Wang Yue is of great importance and should not be shown to others easily."
Xunzi smiled, and Chen Liang politely said, "As for why Xunzi asked... I heard a little, and had a little guess."
Xunzi said: "Mr. Chen Liang agrees?"
Chen Liang smiled and declined, "It's inappropriate."
Xunzi: "How is it inappropriate?"
Chen Liang: "It's not right now, but the future is expected."
Xunzi bowed, Chen Liang smiled and said, "This matter is better for Cheng Zi."
Cheng Zhiyuan said: "If it is appropriate, it is not appropriate, it will be appropriate in the future."
What both parties said was naturally based on Long Su, and the problem was probably the little one between the two...
The King of Yue suddenly smiled: "What's wrong? It has nothing to do with you guys! Worry about it here!"
Zhong Liangzi also heard it and coughed: "The words of King Yue are not right, uh... it's not right now, it's not right, Master Cheng will ask later."
Cheng Zhiyuan bowed: "No hurry, Mr. Xie Zhongliang."
Zhong Liangzi stared at Cheng Zhiyuan.
This person who is called Zhang Yi of the time and is not very popular among Confucians.
But now it seems that his favorite student actually has some unclear relationship with him?
I have heard about the Jixia Academy, but it sounds like a general friend. Maybe it has a hint of appreciation, but why...there is still insider?
This made Zhong Liangzi nervous all of a sudden.
What if I learn badly? What if I can’t do it?
"Chen Liang, you have to explain it to me in detail afterwards."
Zhongliang asked Chen Liang.
Chen Liang said: "You should also be cautious."
"But now, Xunzi will express his opinion on the issue he is talking about first, otherwise, he would be angry and go out to fight."
Xunzi saw the chaos on the other side and nodded: "That's right, let's talk about it first."
"road."
Xunzi responded.
On the other hand, the quarrels gradually became softer. Although everyone did not scold enough, Xunzi, the president of the only key educational university in the world, although these people were all ancient people and Xunzi was a descendant, they still had to give face.
After all, Xunzi can be said to be the most successful person to run educational institutions after Zhongni. He even went from private schools to Qi State, and then made his reputation to the seven kingdoms in the world from Qi State. Now he is the leader of the three palaces after the merger of the three palaces. The position of the principal of the Dajijiu is not only as simple as fat, but the weight of the new school is very terrifying.
"Confucians should seek the Tao."
Xunzi expressed his thoughts impartially:
"In the past, Zhongni asked for courtesy in the heavens and met Li Dan four times."
"In the seventh year of Duke Zhao of Lu, he was introduced to Luoyi and entered the library hall by Duke Zhao. Duke Zhao led the road. Zhongni was seventeen years old at that time and first met Qiantian."
"The name of Qiantian and the world is Li Dan. Zhong Ni was in Zhou. When he first asked Qiantian, what was the etiquette."
"Qiuen Tian didn't answer, but just took Zhongni to a family to mourn. Zhongni saw someone crying and shouting, Qiutian asked Zhongni, is there any ritual in funeral?"
"Zhongni replied that there is a lot. He will not say anything when he is poor. When it comes to the second and third households, Zhongni is increasingly puzzled."
"Qiuan Tianzeyan: What kind of etiquette do you see?"
"Zhongni replied that there is a ritual for funerals, but Qiantian said that the ritual is in the coffin."
"The second time Zhongni saw Qiantian was about to come to the week before, and asked where the ceremony was."
"What I said is that the person and bones are all decayed, and only the words are in my ears. And a gentleman will be able to do what he wants to do when he is at the right time, and if he is not at the right time, he will be exhausted and run."
Xunzi: "This is Qiantian's reply."
All the sages were relieved and turned their heads to look at him.
"The third time was in Nanpei. At this time, Zhongni was already fifty years old and traveled around the world. He saw the poor sky again, and was sighing."
"I asked where the ceremony was."
"The fourth time was Luyi. After this time, Qiongtian went west to Hangu and went to heaven."
"Zhongni performed rituals throughout his life, and knew rituals, but he asked all the questions about the poor heaven, where is the ritual."
"Is Confucius really asking about the courtesy? No, he was asking."
"Life and death are the Tao, and the way is the Tao, and wandering is also the Tao. Until the end, when Lu Yi saw it, Zhongni knew the etiquette and also understood the Tao."
