Chapter 105 Kong Ming takes action (two in one)

The second person was a young scholar in his twenties. He first stood up and bowed his hands to Shen Chen and said, "I am going to Shanyang Li Kai to follow my eldest son Ya Gong to inherit his career."

He is not a local scholar in Jingzhou, but a student of the famous scholar Wei Xi. Obviously, this also represents Wei Xi's attitude.

Shen Chen cupped his hands and said, "You're polite, please sit down."

The two sat down and Li Kai said: "I followed my teacher to study the "Book of Filial Piety". The former king had the most virtuous principles to obey the world, the people were harmonious, and there was no resentment between superiors and inferiors. It was all because of filial piety. Sikong avenged his father and served the world. The most filial person is now serving the emperor, supporting the Han Dynasty, and maintaining both loyalty and filial piety. Why should Xiao Lang disobey Sikong?"

Shen Chen smiled and said: "Since we are studying the "Book of Filial Piety", we should know that "those who love their relatives do not dare to be evil to others; those who respect their relatives do not dare to be arrogant to others. Love and respect are done in serving relatives, and moral education is imposed on the people. , punished all over the world." If Cao Cao really abides by his filial piety, why did he slaughter hundreds of thousands of Xuzhou residents? Didn't they have parents and heirs?"

"Forehead"

Li Kai was speechless for a moment.

Shen Chen suddenly slapped his forehead and said: "Oh, I think about it. Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou completely. Naturally, there will be no children to honor their parents, which is good. Confucius said: Those who love their relatives dare not do evil to others, no If you dare to be arrogant to others, as long as you kill them all, you don't have to be evil to others, be arrogant to others, and use the lives of others to fulfill your own false filial piety. Cao Cao is very filial."

"well."

Li Kai sighed, cupped his hands, and left the table.

The third person came up, and this person came up and said: "Cao Cao used the position of Sikong to control the six laws of founding the country, and assisted the king in governing the country. The expedition against Zhang Xiu was a formal military punishment. It is in line with etiquette and law. How could he not do it?"

This person is in charge of "Book of Rites".

Shen Chen nodded and said, "Is it etiquette for an adulterous aunt?"

The man looked embarrassed and had to leave.

The fourth person who ruled was "Zuo Zhuan" and said: "Zhuzhuang Gong and Yi Shegu were drinking and went out privately. They begged for meat. They took the staff and knocked it. How can the beggar beg for meat?"

The implication is that you, a lowly person, how can you offend someone in a superior position?

Shen Chen sneered and said: "Are you the one who governs Zuo Zhuan but not the Book of Rites? At night, the concubine will hold a candle on the steps of the gate, the palace minister will hold a candle on the west steps, the people of Dian will hold a big candle in the courtyard, and those who are in jail will hold candles. A big candle was placed outside the door. The guests were drunk and sat in the north to take the recommended breasts. Yi Shegu herself was rude, so how could she say that it was an offence? What's more, even Confucius did not regard things as humble, but you looked down on a person. , are your ancestors all princes of all ages?"

"this"

The fourth person was stunned.

Those who study "Zuo Zhuan" are indeed less likely to study other classics, because "Zuo Zhuan" itself has nearly 200,000 words. From the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, countless people studied "Zuo Zhuan", and many famous scholars and scholars left behind There are also many books.

Just one copy of "Zuo Zhuan" and its derivatives and the chapters left by various masters may amount to millions of words. At that time, it was possible to study it for a lifetime, so it was normal not to study other books.

Shen Chen rolled his sleeves and said, "Master, you don't care about poverty and lowliness but admire others, and don't care about wealth and honor but want to be motivated by the middle." You don't even know the whole story, and you are ashamed of being humble and love vanity. You are really vulgar and stupid. !”

The man's face froze, and he hid his face and left.

Soon a fifth person came up and said: "Confucius's ditch and the tombs can be used to hide the master's disloyalty." Although Sikong was a little cruel, he had to do it because the country was in danger. Besides, there are also benevolent and righteous people who make people feel cruel. When doubts arise, a gentleman should change his duties, so that he can respect the emperor and humble his ministers, and achieve great political success."

Shen Chen's face darkened, and he waved his hand and said, "Fork out!"

At that moment, soldiers rushed over and wanted to drag the fifth person away.

The man shouted: "Why are you rude?"

Shen Chen said: "The purpose of consolidating the tombs in Fuzigou is to stabilize the arrogant Ji Pingzi and prevent the destruction of Lu, so that Duke Ding can regain the throne in the future. What is the purpose of Cao Cao's massacre of Xuzhou? It is to sacrifice human breasts to the emperor. Is it true? To compare the virtuous Master and Yan Hui with the ungrateful Cao Cao, how can such clever words and tricks be used to trap Master Yan Hui into unrighteousness?"

The man's face was ashen and he was dragged out. Many other students did not dare to say anything because of the majesty of the soldiers.

Then the sixth person, the seventh person, and the eighth person came up one by one. These people talked from a relatively general angle. They said that Shen Chen was not loyal and patriotic when he resisted Cao Cao. They said that he should not get involved in the important affairs of the court. There were even some It is inappropriate to say that he avenged his relatives.

Shen Chen retorted one by one, and what he said was reasonable and convincing.

Basically there is no one who can fight.

Because Shen Chen's argument is also very reasonable, what he focuses on is to separate Cao Cao and Liu Xie, and not let those Confucian scholars bind Cao Cao and Liu Xie together.

Otherwise, they would claim that whatever Cao Cao did was backed by the Emperor.

As long as we hold on to this point, everything will be easy to say.

If you say that resisting Cao Cao is not loyal to the emperor and patriotic, does that mean that Cao Cao is equal to the country, and where does that put the emperor?

You said he was doing it in the name of the Emperor.

good.

Where is the edict?

How about a holiday without an edict?

If there are none, then he is sending troops privately.

Why can't I fight with the princes when they send troops privately?

Just because he is called Cao Cao?

As for saying that he shouldn't take revenge, it's even more ridiculous.

Although in the late Han Dynasty, with the decline of Gongyang Ru, the idea of ​​​​great revenge has gradually declined.

But there is still a market for it.

What's more, Cao Cao's expedition to Xuzhou was in the name of avenging his father.

He, Cao Cao, can take revenge.

I can not?

Why?

Double standards are not such double standards.

Therefore, under Shen Chen's firepower output like a series of cannons, many Confucian scholars were almost sprayed away.

They were defeated one by one, and soon more than ten were lost.

The reason for this is that the people who came here are just young scholars.

If they were replaced by their teacher, their combat effectiveness would definitely be different, which might put some pressure on Shen Chen.

But they are just a bunch of young Confucian scholars who have not learned their skills well and are just trying their best.

Although Shen Chen had not studied Confucianism for a long time, only six or seven years, his dialectical logical thinking was much better than theirs, and he easily defeated these people.

After nearly half of the losses were lost, those who came no longer dared to step forward and stood around, cowering.

There was silence in the courtyard, and everyone's faces were different.

The scholars who came to find trouble all looked unhappy, but they were refuted by others, that is, they were not good at their studies, and no one could blame them.

The villagers didn't really understand what they were talking about, but when they saw Shen Chen fighting one against ten, spraying each other with shame and leaving them ashamed, they knew that he had won a great victory, so they watched with relish.

Some of the theatergoers were glad that they were not looking for trouble, otherwise they would have been scolded by a twelve-year-old child in public and would have lost all face.

Pang Tong and Xu Shu looked at each other with great interest. Shen Chen's debate was extremely brilliant. Even if they had been in their place, they might not have been so quick-witted, so they sincerely admired his talent and learning.

After a while, Shen Chen saw that no one was sitting in front of him, so he laughed and said, "Why, is this all you have?"

Hu Shang and Wen Xia never appeared. They looked at each other and shook their heads silently.

After checking their eyes, they couldn't figure out who he was.

But some reckless men stood up and yelled: "Why are you so arrogant as a child with a yellow mouth? Who is not older than you and who is not senior to you? You are vulgar when you open your mouth, but you are stupid when you are silent. You are just a child, how dare you do this? Is this chatty?"

It's started, it's started.

Shen Chen was shocked, and someone finally started to attack him personally.

He immediately jumped up like a spring and roared at the man: "The Master said: When you are young, you will not become a younger brother; when you grow up, you will have nothing to say; when you grow old and do not die, you are a thief. You are old and have no virtue, and you are a human being. How can you be so rude that you will die?"

"With your character and talent, how can you educate students?"

The man didn't dare to show weakness and immediately responded.

Shen Chen calmly said: "Why can't I? There is no predecessor in learning, and those who are masters are teachers. Xiang Luo became Confucius' teacher at the age of seven. Not to mention my talent and learning, everyone knows it. Who can beat me?"

"Are you virtuous?"

The man asked back.

Shen Chen sneered and said, "Whether I am virtuous or not is not something you can evaluate."

The man smiled and said, "Can the villagers comment?"

"nature."

Shen Chen said seriously: "All the surrounding villagers can comment on my virtue."

The man said: "I heard that you stole pigs and grain from the village pavilion a few days ago, and the carriage even scratched someone's trousers while running away. Is this possible?"

"There is no such thing."

Shen Chen flatly denied it.

The man suddenly laughed: "Where is Xiao Da?"

Someone among the crowd came out timidly, and when Shen Chen looked at him, his eyes averted.

This person was the lazy man I met at Hanyang Juxiang Pavilion a few days ago.

Shen Chen looked at it and frowned slightly.

He didn't expect that this person would actually come to frame him.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Hu Shang immediately came to the man and asked, "Brother Zhao Lang, what's going on?"

That person was the Anzhong Zhao family, named Zhao Ran, and his family was located in the north of Hanyangju.

He whispered to Hu Shang: "I passed by Mianshui and met this man. I learned some things. Today I have a good look at Shen Chen."

Hu Shang happily patted his shoulder and said, "Then please leave it to Brother Zhao Lang."

"rest assured."

Zhao Ran replied in a low voice, then walked to Shen Chen and said to the surrounding villagers: "Everyone, there are witnesses to this man's stealing of pigs and grains. Do you want to hand over your children to such an unscrupulous person?" him?"

"No, is this true?"
