Who Cares

Chapter 20: Fascinated

Although Xu Guangzhi was eager for quick success and narrow-minded, he was extremely skillful and knowledgeable. At the beginning of the debate, he threw out many arguments and defeated the legal scholars. Confucianism said that the ancient law followed the Zhou dynasty, and followed the rituals, and followed the rituals of the Zhou dynasty.

There are more than 30 emperors before and after the Zhou Dynasty, which lasted for more than 700 years. It can be called an era with the longest ruling time, the brightest culture, and the relatively stable life. It is precisely because there were few disputes and wars in that era that Confucian scholars especially praised and advocated the superiority of the various systems of the Zhou Dynasty, and called on the superiors to uphold the benevolence and practice, and to return the people to a peaceful and prosperous age.

Xu Guangzhi has cited too many historical evidences, and he was full of words and eloquence for a time. On the other hand, legal scholars, as long as they talk about governing the country, almost 80% of the cases ended in failure. Even the reform of the country and the Qin Dynasty, which eventually unified the Central Plains, quickly perished in the tyranny. Then the people of the Central Plains fell into the flames of war that lasted for hundreds of years. Since then, he has been displaced and precarious.

Wei Guogang was founded less than two years ago, and the cruelty of war is still imprinted in the hearts of the people. When it comes to peace and stability, everyone yearns for it. When it comes to tyranny and war, everyone hates it. The benevolence thought of Confucianism is easier to move the heart at this time, but the severe punishment of legalism has caused many boos. The off-site debate was almost inverted, but in just three quarters of an hour, the challenger had lifted up the white silk and completely surrendered, while Xu Guangzhi used a sonorous voice to draw the conclusion, "So, now the Wei State should be like the sage. Words-dethrone a hundred schools and respect Confucianism!"

Thunderous applause broke out in the hall, and Father Guan and Father Guan stepped forward one by one to congratulate Xu Guangzhi. He spoke to the two with neither humble nor arrogant one, and then frequently bent over to thank a Jiuli nobleman who sponsored his own debate. People from the Legalist school did not dare to stay longer, so they hid their faces and left.

"It's over?" Qin Lingyun didn't speak, only his expression was extremely ugly. Instead, his personal guard asked him in a non-standard elegant dialect (ancient Mandarin).

Guan Suyi looked up, because the other party had a thick beard and couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could detect the incredibly bright light in his slightly bluish pupils, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with the result. They all say that servants follow their masters, and it seems that this person is also a loyal supporter of the School of Legalism.

"It's over." Guan Suyi raised her teacup and sipped, filled with anxiety. In terms of eloquence, I am afraid that only Qin Lingyun can compete with Xu Guangzhi in the current Wei state. From this, it is conceivable that the results of the next nine debates will be the same as today.

Victory in ten battles, it was only sooner or later that he became famous at home, and Emperor Sheng Yuan was eager to ask for talents, fearing that he would specially call Xu Guangzhi into office as he did in his previous life. So logically, Xu's Neo-Confucianism will prevail, and women will start a life of invisible end, being despised, controlled, and restrained by others.

It stands to reason that as long as she doesn't repeat the mistakes of her previous life, this change will not have much impact on Guan Suyi, but she just can't understand Xu Guangzhi's fake benevolence, and she hates his theory even more. But after all, she is Guan Qiguang's granddaughter, unable to stand up and slap Confucianism in the face, so she can only stand by at this time.

Glancing at the opposite Qin Lingyun, she secretly shook her head. Well, this person is practising a closed mantra, and I am afraid he will not get involved in this debate. In his mind, the Li family is the most important, and the face of the Fa School is worthless. Besides, she couldn't find any excuses to persuade the other party, could she tell him that if Xu Guangzhi succeeded, it would indirectly kill your sister-in-law? Wouldn't it just cause suspicion and cause trouble for yourself?

After thinking and thinking, Guan Suyi finally suppressed the hatred, but the resentment was hard to settle, and he sneered, "Faguo followed etiquette. If it is really like Xu Guangzhi said, the ancients have no disputes and wars, nor do they harm their compatriots. He is a benevolent person, why did the Zhou Dynasty perish? You people of the Fa School of School are also useless. Many arguments can be easily overturned, but you can't seize the opportunity at all, and become Xu Guangzhi's stepping stone for nothing. I really want to talk about it. Confucianists are far from legalists in the way of governing the country!"

Qin Lingyun and the tall man looked at her together, and they couldn't help showing stunned expressions on their faces. You know, Guan Suyi is Guan Qiguang's granddaughter, and she should be a fan of Confucianism. At this time, she bluntly declared her admiration for Legalism. Is she not thinking about it?

Guan Suyi put down the tea cup and leaned against the back of the chair, instantly changing from a dignified lady to a lazy idler, and her gentle temperament suddenly became sharp. If the person on the other side changes to another person, she will definitely not easily express what she thinks, but that person is Qin Lingyun, Qin Lingyun with deep love and righteousness, Qin Lingyun with a promise, and even Qin Lingyun who cultivates a closed mantra. She believes that he will not reveal today's conversation to others.

This change made the two opposite people even more surprised. They looked at her up and down, as if they didn't know each other. Especially the tall man wanted to open her power fence to see if her expression was the same as he had imagined, showing disdain and cynicism.

After rebirth, Guan Suyi was already suffocated, and urgently needed to find a catharsis outlet. Right now, Qin Lingyun had become her tree hole of course, wishing to vomit.

"Dethrone a hundred families, respect Confucianism, scoff..." Seeing that there were only three or two tables left on the second floor, and most of the first floor was emptied, and his grandfather and father disappeared. Guan Suyi was like a prisoner who had taken off his shackles and became mad. Arrogant and very aggressive, he said word by word, "With only these eight characters, he is not worthy to learn Confucianism, and with only these eight characters, he is not worthy to challenge Legalists as a Confucianist."

Qin Lingyun suddenly raised his head, seeming to be touched. The tall man took a seat opposite her, staring at her with a serious and focused gaze for the first time.

Gaining the attention of the audience, Guan Suyi knocked on the table and said freely, "The original words on this page are'Teaching the Confucian family, suppressing a hundred schools'. When Xu Guangzhi came here, it turned into a'deposing a hundred schools and respecting Confucianism'. . The difference between restraint and abolishment is the difference between Tianyuan. What is the core idea of ​​Confucianism, do you know?"

The object of her questioning was Qin Lingyun, as for the tall man who stared at her scorchingly, he was naturally ignored. A member of the Jiuli tribe who even said Yayan was not so smooth, she didn't expect the other party to understand her own words, so this person was also a tree hole, and she was not afraid of revealing her secrets in the future.

Qin Lingyun took out a Buddhist bead from his purse, threw it into the teacup, and spit out two words, "Golden Mean."

"Of course. Being impartial, being moderate and peaceful, this is the golden mean. The golden mean can involve all aspects of life, and it is the most respected way of life by Kong Sheng. If you go too far, you are against the golden mean. Change the'inhibition' to'abuse'. Xu Guangzhi’s desire to kill all the scholars is clear, and he also exposed his scholarly approach. It is most appropriate to describe him in one sentence of Kong Sheng."

Speaking of this, she flicked the edge of the cup with her scallion fingertips, which caused a crisp sound of "ding", signaling Minglan to pour tea to moisturize her throat.

The tall man couldn't stand her gasping effort, so he quickly raised the teapot to fill it up for her, and then looked at him eagerly. Qin Lingyun didn't show it on his face, but glanced over and over again with the corner of his eye, Xin Dao that this person had previously disliked Guan Suyi and spoke so much, but now he is so diligent that he is not afraid of being slapped in the face.

The tall man pushed the teacup forward, urging him with awkward, elegant words, "Hurry up, what are you talking about?"

Guan Suyi took a sip and continued, "It's a heresy, and the harm is done." Afraid that the Jiu Li guy would not understand, so he explained, "In the vernacular, if you study the heresy, the harm will be great. What is heresy? With Xu Guangzhi’s explanation, all schools except Confucian orthodoxy are heretics. However, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucianism is not orthodox, so how come heresy? Here the heresy should be interpreted as the two ends of the matter. , And the two ends of the matter are balanced with the mean, that is,'over' and'under'. Studying academics too much, and not enough, are all wrong and extremely harmful. This is what Kong Sheng wants to express. Thinking. Look at Xu Guangzhi again. He misinterpreted a sentence today to the level of'deposing of a hundred schools of scholars'. His scholarly spirit has shown a sign of devil, which is too much. In the words of Kong Sheng, he I have gone into heresy and lost the peaceful mindset of Zhongzheng, so how can I be qualified to criticize Legalists on behalf of Confucianism? With just this sentence, I can see through him, and it is enough to describe him in eight words..."

The tall man was fascinated by it. Seeing that she stopped to pant again, he hurriedly took the initiative to pour tea. His hoarse voice sounded very honest, "Drink tea, drink tea, you can go on."

Qin Lingyun almost couldn't hold back a smile, and could only turn his face and pretend to cough.

Guan Suyi was pleased by his earnest and knowledge-seeking attitude. While blowing his tea, he said softly, "Do you think so?"

"Right!" The tall man shook his palm and smiled. He had long been overwhelmed by Xu Guangzhi's theory that imitated the ancients. What Yao, Shunyu, what concession, what kindness and virtuousness, the world is unified, just hear it is fake. People in the Central Plains really know how to make up stories.

As soon as he thought of this, he listened to Guan Suyi slowly saying, "The renunciation system that Xu Guangzhi frequently lists is actually a lie, and the truth of history is often hidden under **** battles."

"Oh? What do you say?" The tall man leaned forward, his eyes focused. Qin Lingyun, who said nothing, was squeezed and squeezed by him, and now he could only shrink at the corner between the wall and the railing and smile bitterly. The history of the Central Plains is what this person is most interested in, and he will be attracted when he hears it. If he hadn't changed his face today and his whereabouts had become a mystery, Qin Lingyun would have doubted whether Guan Suyi was deliberately creating a conversation.

"The first one who advocated the renunciation theory was the "Shangshu" compiled by Kong Sheng and his disciples. Its authenticity is untestable. However, in "Han Feizi" and "Zhushu Ji Nian", the explanation of this period of history is completely opposite. "Han Feizi Says Doubt" records: Shun forced Yao, Yu forced Shun, Tang Fangjie, and Wu Wang cut down; these four kings were also the people who killed the king, and the world was praised. The record in the "Bamboo Book Chronicles": Yao Zhi In the last years, the morals declined, and he was imprisoned by Shun. Shun, the prisoner of Yao, restored Yan Danzhu, so that he would not meet his father. Shun, the prisoner of Yao, was in Pingyang and took the throne. Han Feizi’s statement will not be mentioned for the time being, only the "Zhu Shu Ji Nian" Hundreds of years earlier than "Historical Records", and it is the official history of the Wei Kingdom during the Warring States Period, which is more credible..."

Tan Xing came up. Guan Suyi talked about the life of Yao, Shun, and Yu from the renunciation system, how the three came to power, how they fought in secret, how to win people’s hearts, control the political affairs, etc., the humor of his speech, the richness of the plot, the ups and downs of the turning point , It can be written into a wonderful storybook.

The tall man was fascinated by hearing, he simply sat next to her holding the teapot, and took the initiative to help refill the tea. The diligent attitude and the previous dislikes formed a sharp contrast, making Qin Lingyun look utterly stupefied.
