Chapter 1464: I will speak for three days, Zhu Xi said indignantly
Chapter 1464: After three days of lectures, Zhu Xi said angrily
In the future, the most we can do is talk on the phone! Moreover, even if it is a debate, we have prepared in advance and checked the information, so the time is relatively limited.
However, in this debate that took place during the Song Dynasty, both contestants were completely unscripted! They quoted from other sources and talked about the past and present, and it lasted for three full days before it came to an end!
Shen Tang also saw for the first time the true knowledge and erudition of the so-called Song Dynasty academic group!
In addition to the most common Four Books and Five Classics, these two people can pick up all the classics and interpretations of the past dynasties, and even some unknown miscellaneous talks. Not to mention Zhang Shi and others, just Shen Tang, a bystander, can also pick them up. Very enjoyable!
In the end, after three days of debate, Zhang Shi was the winner.
Zhu Xi also basically agreed with Zhang Shi's views that "nature is not yet developed, but the mind is already developed" and "first realize and then maintain".
After the two of them finished speaking, there was silence in the Baiquan Pavilion for a long time. Zhu Xi finally said, "He Jingfu loves me very much. I will explain to you what I have never heard. I will learn from him every day."
There was admiration and a bit of unwillingness in the words! However, after all, we are a generation of people. Even if they are unwilling, they still admit defeat cleanly.
Zhang Shi didn't look proud, but bowed his hand humbly, "Yuan Hui won the prize, it's just a fluke! Yuan Hui is knowledgeable and will definitely become a sage in the future!"
"Pah, pah, pah..."
Shen Tang on the side applauded slowly, "Having heard the names of my brother and Yuan Hui's erudition, they are well-known today! The two of you and Lushan Academy will definitely be famous all over the world. Such a grand event can be passed down through the ages! I can It’s really a blessing to witness it here!”
Zhang Shi and Zhang Shi stood up at the same time and saluted Shen Tang, "I am ashamed of myself to deserve Marquis Zhongwu's praise! Moreover, even though we have some knowledge, we are still small-minded.
Marquis Zhongwu conquered the south and conquered the north, relieved the world's worries, and provided a safe place for the people. This is the great road! The two of us only read a few more books. Anyone can do it, but only Marquis Zhongwu has achieved great feats. One person..."
The academic dispute came to an end, and the atmosphere in the Baiquan Pavilion could not help but relax! Afterwards, everyone held candles and talked at night, but this time they were not talking about knowledge, but about some interesting talks or poems and songs. It wasn't until dawn that everyone gave up.
Shen Tang stood up. Although he was a little sleepy, he was in good spirits!
Looking at the mountain streams in the early morning and the chirping of birds from time to time, Shen Tang feels relaxed and happy!
"The scenery here is magnificent. If you have free time, it will be a wonderful thing to live here!"
Shen Tang said involuntarily.
Zhang Shilang laughed and said, "This is easy! If Marquis Zhongwu doesn't mind the simplicity of the academy, he can come and live here temporarily at any time. Everyone in our academy is willing to welcome you!"
Shen Tang sighed regretfully, "This is naturally a good thing, but it's a pity that Shen Tang is leaving Tanzhou soon! I may have to wait until the next time when I come to the academy to stay temporarily."
"ah!"
Zhang Shi exclaimed, "Marquis Zhongwu is leaving?"
"This trip not only met with my brother, saw the reputation of Yuelu Academy, but also witnessed the two lectures. It was a worthwhile trip!"
Having said this, Shen Tang paused for a moment, and then said calmly, "After the War of Song and Jin Dynasties, I resigned from His Majesty without permission. However, there are some things that we still have to face! Lin'an, it's time to go back!"
Hearing this, Zhang Shi's mind turned around! The real purpose of Shen Tang's coming here was not concealed from Zhang Shi. The two of them had a secret talk in their spare time a few days ago! For Shen Tang, no matter from which aspect, Zhang Shi naturally I will fully support him! Moreover, the relationship between Shen Tang and Zhang Jun is well known to everyone, and as Zhang Jun’s son, unless he commits suicide, his lineage will not be able to break away from Shen Tang whether he wants to or not!
Therefore, helping Shen Tang is actually helping himself.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Shi said in a concentrated voice, "When Marquis Zhongwu goes to Lin'an, he will definitely encounter a mountain of swords and a sea of fire! Zhang Shi's official position is low, and it is naturally difficult to help with matters above the court. However, if any scholar dares to criticize Marquis Zhongwu, Zhang Shi will be fair and impartial. Although there are no great sages in my Yuelu Academy lineage, I still dare to say that the world is the commonwealth!"
"If someone as loyal as Marquis Zhongwu cannot stand in the court, then what hope does the Song Dynasty have?"
Zhu Xi on the side didn't want to speak at first, but Zhang Shi's words made him frown! He hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but asked, "Brother Jingfu, Marquis Zhongwu is a member of the official family, and he has His achievements are unparalleled, but he just returned to Lin'an, how can he be like a mountain of swords and a sea of fire?"
Without waiting for Shen Tang to speak, Zhang Shi took the initiative and said, "Yuan Hui, you have read a lot of books, don't you know that merit is often jealous?
Nowadays, it is no problem that the official is a sage king, and he has always trusted Marquis Zhongwu.
However, there are so many people in this court who are jealous of Marquis Zhongwu!"
"What despicable methods do these people use to gain their own power?"
"The suppression of power above the court and the inciting of ignorant people among the people are even used by some literati! Although the methods are despicable, they are useful! So, isn't it going to be a mountain of fire for Marquis Zhongwu to go?"
At this time, Zhu Xi was far from the Zhu Zi who entered the Confucian Temple in later generations. He was not young now, but he had just passed his thirties! He was interested in learning and upright as an official. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was righteous. .
Therefore, when I heard Zhang Shi's words, I felt extremely angry!
"Hmph! This is nothing more than jealousy of the virtuous and capable, rebellious ministers and traitors! Our Song Dynasty has been weak for many years. However, Zhongwuhou, who conquers Tubo in the west, barbarians in Nan'an, and the Jin Kingdom in the north, is the mainstay of our Song Dynasty. How can he be criticized by others?"
After that, he solemnly saluted Shen Tang, and then said sternly, "Although Yuan Hui has a small official position, he still has a lot of passion! He cannot carry a three-foot sword and fight side by side with Marquis Zhongwu, but he can also use the sharp strokes in his hand. Kill someone! As Jingfu said, nothing else can be done. However, Jingfu and I will definitely contact the scribes in the world, and we will not let others frame and slander the Marquis!"
Shen Tang looked at the scholars of the Song Dynasty in front of him, feeling moved and filled with emotion!
Perhaps, they have mixed praise and criticism in history books, but in fact, in this era, many scholars indeed regard the world as their own responsibility and justice as their morality!
In such an era, they use their own methods to seek the truth and direction in their own knowledge, and use their own bones to maintain the perseverance, hope and loyalty of scholars! In this way, even if they are wrong, they are still worthy of admiration.
"Shen Tang, thank you both very much!"
Shen Tang didn't say anything to refuse, but solemnly returned the favor!
