People in the world are so dull that they cannot see clearly the true face of things. They often make judgments and express their poor opinions before the truth is revealed.
This situation was not only true in ancient times, it was also the case when keyboard warriors in later generations engaged in cyber violence.
The only difference is that in ancient times, even if you became a keyboard warrior, since there was no Internet to hide your identity, you still had to get married offline in the end.
Then a very embarrassing situation will occur.
Before the truth came out, you screamed the loudest and hardest. After the truth came out, the slap in the face was the most painful and swollen.
Just like before the Yidai Edict, Cao Cao was almost praised as a saint by those Jingzhou scholars.
As an old friend of Cao Cao, Wang Jun was a man of great talent. When Huan Jie bewitched Zhang Xian, he compared him to Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin.
As a result, as soon as the clothing edict was issued, Cao Cao's true colors were revealed to the world. The great righteousness he had originally held was suddenly eliminated, and those who praised Cao Cao were naturally slapped in the face the most.
However, they are different from those keyboard warriors in later generations who have no shame and will delete their posts and disappear from the Internet after they finish their rants and wait for the truth to come out.
These scholars are all standing in front of Shen Chen in reality, and they can't run away after spraying them, so now they can only accept Shen Chen's scolding honestly, with their once proud heads lowered like quails, no longer like before
furious.
After this reprimand, Shen Chen did not expect that these people would change their past, love the benevolent Lord, and be kind to the people at the bottom.
He only hopes that his words can spread and wake up a few people like him who pay more attention to the grassroots and those people who are displaced and struggling to survive. If he can have a few like-minded comrades, then he will be satisfied.
The carriage drove slowly, exited the north gate of the city, and arrived at Xiangyang Pier. Xiangyang is surrounded by the Han River on both sides. If you go south, you don't need to cross the river, but if you go north, you must cross the Han River.
At this time, there were many people waiting on the dock. In addition to the soldiers from Huangmenting who came to carry the armor, there were also Sima Hui, Deng Hong, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Zhou Buyi and others.
When Shen Chen went to the Prefectural Mufu, they knew that there would be a fierce battle. However, they all believed in Shen Chen and knew that he would be able to defeat them, so they all had been waiting here for good news about him.
, waiting for his good news.
Now Shen Chen is here, and behind him, in addition to some scholars who were so shocked by the speech just now that they voluntarily followed him, there are also many people, all from the surrounding areas of Longzhong Township.
These villagers learned that Shen Chen would leave Xiangyang today and go north to fight against Cao Cao, so they came to Xiangyang early. Before that, they waited at the entrance of Deng Hong's mansion. After Shen Chen left Deng Hong's house, he went to the Prefectural Mufu to say goodbye to Liu Biao.
time, they followed all the way.
They had listened to Shen Chen's words before and remembered them in their hearts. They already respected Shen Chen for teaching and educating people in Suiting, Longzhong Township, and for being a virtuous person in the countryside, but today they heard his heartfelt words.
It's extremely shocking.
Therefore, no matter how far away from home he is, he is still willing to see Shen Chen off.
So when Shen Chen got off the carriage, he saw that the pier was already crowded with people. There were villagers from Longzhong Township, students he had taught, friends with the same philosophy, and famous Confucian scholars who liked him.
"Achen!"
When Deng Hong saw him get off the car, he was the first to come up to him and said, "How do you do?"
Shen Chen smiled and said: "The news about the clothes and belt order has now spread throughout Xiangyang. The whole state is angry about Cao Cao's bullying of the emperor, and those corrupt scholars have nothing to say."
"That's good."
Deng Hong nodded happily: "I knew Ah Chen was not wrong. The Cao thieves deceived the emperor and slaughtered the people. How can such national thieves rule the world? Those pedantic people should have nothing to say."
"It's more than that."
There was a student of Shen Chen next to him, named Xie Hui, who immediately said: "After Master left the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, the Confucian scholars gathered in a group and attacked, and they were all reprimanded by Master. When Master left, they said they would respectfully see Mr. Shen off. .”
"oh?"
Deng Hong said hurriedly: "What's going on?"
Xie Hui vividly recounted what had just happened.
Shen Chen didn't stop him and looked at him with a smile.
This child's original name is Xie Xiaoqiu. He is thirteen years old. Because his family is engaged in music industry, his name is three characters. He is a standard low-class untouchable.
Later, he became a disciple of Shen Chen, who named him Xie Hui, which means moving from darkness to light.
In fact, Shen Chen has a lot of students now, but there are very few regular ones.
Those who were sent to study were all from lower-class families. Life was extremely difficult on weekdays. It was not easy for their children to study for half a month during the off-season, let alone stay with them all year round.
So so far, the only people who have been studying with him since the school started the year before last are Zhou Buyi, Xie Hui and a few other students.
These people are either from good families like Zhou Buyi, whose family is an official and wealthy gentry, or they are people like Xie Hui, who although they are untouchables, are engaged in fairly profitable jobs such as medical workers, musicians, etc. There are not many civilians.
Among them, Zhou Buji learned the best, but he was only eight years old and could not carry his teachings, so he could only try his best to train others.
After Xie Hui told everyone the whole story, Sima Hui sighed: "I have felt that Ah Chen's knowledge and insight should be a model for the world since a long time ago. Today it has come true. From then on, Jingzhou's top celebrities are the highest." Ah Chen is the perfect one."
"Sir, you are so complimentary."
Shen Chen held up his hands to Sima Hui and said: "I just practice the morality in my heart. People in the world can't do it because they still don't understand my ambition. Only you, sir, understand me."
Eight-year-old Zhou Busuo raised his head and said seriously: "Master's words are thought-provoking. I also hope that one day I can practice benevolence and righteousness like Master."
"hehe."
Shen Chen smiled, touched Zhou Buyi's head and said: "There are many truths in the world, and as human beings, we should search for them. As long as you can stick to the faith in your heart, you will be able to do it one day. "
Pang Tong sighed: "Those words are like listening to the teachings in my ears, which makes me feel deeply. I personally think that there are countless great scholars since the end of Qin Dynasty, but you, Achen, have the deepest understanding of the Master's way."
"Brother Shiyuan, please stop praising me."
Shen Chen smiled and said: "People in Jingzhou don't know your talent, but I know that I am just talking. If you really want to do what I say, you have to take action. Only brothers and Mr. De Cao have the best moral character." I admire you for your talent.”
Xu Shu said: "You are so righteous in front of those Confucian scholars, but you are so humble in front of us. Seriously, what you said today should be recorded with pen and paper."
As he was talking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhuge Liang out of the corner of his eye.
Then I saw Zhuge Liang asking the slave to find a wooden board. The slave was holding the wooden board and was already writing.
On weekdays, when Shen Chen chats with Zhuge Liang, he will write down the chat records.
This situation has been like this since the Spring and Autumn Period, such as "The Analects of Confucius".
Later, Yang Xiong imitated "The Analects" and wrote "Fa Yan", as well as "Zhuan Xi Lu" written by students of the Ming Dynasty sage Wang Yangming, both of which are in this form.
The content is a book in which Zhuge Liang and Shen Chen discuss the principles of the world. Zhuge Liang is both the author and one of the two gentlemen in the book.
"The Analects of Confucius", "Fayan" and "Zhuanxilu" are all dialogues between disciples and teachers, and Zhuge Liang shows it through his dialogue with Shen Chen.
In addition to the dialogue, there are also the general principles that Shen Chen taught his students on weekdays, as well as some of Zhuge Liang's own philosophical thoughts, which were compiled into a book and will be used as a classic in the future.
Seeing this situation, Xu Shu changed the topic and said, "Look how smart Kong Ming is. He has already started to record it."
Pang Tong was surprised and said: "Does Kong Ming intend to copy it down and watch it often?"
"This is the book that Achen and I talk about on a daily basis."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Just like the Analects of Confucius and the Dharma Statement, if you are interested, you can come together."
"oh?"
Everyone was surprised for a moment.
Because three of Zhuge's Four Friends went to Wei State before, Shen Chen had not exchanged ideas with them, so they did not know the existence of this book.
Now seeing that the two of them have actually started writing books and biographies such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "Fayan", they all immediately became envious.
When was the most glorious time for a literati?
Of course, he's not the number one scholar in high school, just roll call outside Donghua Gate.
Instead, he wrote books and biographies, which will be remembered for generations to come.
This was true from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Yang Xiong almost succeeded, but he betrayed him by taking refuge with Wang Mang.
After thousands of years, apart from Confucius, Mencius and Xunzi, only Wang Yangming became a saint.
In the Han Dynasty, so far, Yang Xiong's books were highly regarded by people at that time.
If a new book can be written that surpasses Yang Xiong and is praised by the world as a must-study of classics, perhaps two new saints will appear.
"Can I see it?"
Sima Hui couldn't help but ask.
Zhuge Liang said: "It's all right, but it's still being sorted out. After I clean it up, I'll give it to you, sir, for viewing."
Shen Chen said: "Actually, this book also records a lot of the true meanings that Brother Kong Ming and I obtained when we consulted Mr. De Cao and Mr. Pang De. There are countless truths in the world, and Brother Kong Ming and I cannot explain them. If you can help us, naturally I am so grateful."
Sima Hui said a little reservedly: "This is natural. Although I teach and educate people in Yingchuan, after all, I have studied the scriptures for many years, and I still understand some superficial principles. If you don't understand anything in the future, you can always come and ask me. .”
Um.
This is all to help Ah Chen and Kong Ming clear up their doubts, not to leave a name in the book and be famous for generations to come.
Shen Chen and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, smiled slightly, and at the same time cupped their hands to Sima Hui and said, "Thank you very much, sir."
"And us."
Xu Shu, Pang Tong and others quickly said: "We also want to know the great road of this world."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "When Ah Chen comes back, we can talk freely together."
Everyone chatted for a while and saw that it was approaching noon.
Shen Chen said: "Everyone, I am about to set off, so please send me here."
As he said this, he said goodbye to everyone one by one.
Everyone gathered around him and walked to the boat at the pier. They were still looking at him after he stepped onto the boat.
"Everyone, wait for me to come back!"
Shen Chen bowed his hands and the ship moved forward slowly.
Everyone stood on the shore and waved goodbye.
Deng Hong sighed: "Ah Chen has grown up. I actually don't want him to go out, but he must go north to deal with Cao Cao. I just hope he can return safely."
"yes."
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and said: "Brother Chen has his own opinion. Now that I have just become the head of the family, my younger brother is not yet able to take charge. In two years, I will never let Ah Chen go alone!"
He looked at Shen Chen's figure still standing on the bow of the ship, but going further and further north, and his eyes were filled with determination.
One day, he will stand with Shen Chen and fight for his ideals throughout his life!
