Since Yu the Day, he built Jiuding and established Jiuzhou.
Chinese people have always believed that they are in the center of the world, and outside the Kyushu, they are all barbaric lands.
"The Yuanzhi dialect is 'De'. It can be seen that six hundred years ago, in the ancient European country of Greece, thousands of miles away, someone said that virtue is divided into two types, the virtue of wisdom and the virtue of behavior. The former comes from learning,
The latter is obtained from practice. That person is called Aristotle, one of the three saints in ancient Greece. He also said that true virtue cannot be without practical wisdom, and practical wisdom cannot be without virtue.
... Yuanzhi, you are fifteen years old now, and you are at the age of studying. But you don’t know how to make progress. You argue with others all day long, talk nonsense, and show off your cleverness. As everyone knows, there is no limit to learning, and your showing off today is the future.
of mediocrity.
Everyone here is a scholar.
You ask them, what were they doing when they were fifteen?
You are really talented and intelligent, and can draw inferences from one instance to another. But if you don’t study and only know how to show off your words, how long can you persist? In my opinion, Yuan Zhi cannot describe the word "virtue". Because Yuan Zhi does not understand what "virtue" is,
Therefore, it is not enough to discuss the profoundness of 'virtue' with a noble scholar."
“Fang Yuan bluntly said ‘Heaven’, what is Heaven?
There is "Heaven" in the broad sense, and there is "Heaven" in the narrow sense. We will not talk about the broad sense now, because the way of heaven is far away, and the way of humanity is narrow. If we don't know the way of humanity, how can we talk about the way of heaven. Let's talk about this narrow sense of "heaven". It is still a barbarian.
Six hundred years ago, Aristotle decomposed the changes in the four seasons of heaven and earth into a number of periodic movements... Aristotle took the earth and stars as the center and made uniform circular motion on the circumference. At the same time, there was another school of theory,
It is believed that the earth and stars rotate on their own axis every day, with the sun as the center, and move in a circle... I would like to ask Yuan Zhi, if you know what a circle is? And which theory do you think is the correct one? In response to heaven and man, what exactly is it?
Where’s ‘Tian’?”
"Yuanzhi said that he read a lot of books.
Let me ask again, have you ever read an article called "History"?
Six hundred years ago, in the barbarian land, there was the coast of Asia Minor, where a man named Herodotus was born. From the age of thirty, this man began a long-term wandering, with his ancestral home spread throughout the Mesopotamia and Egypt as far south as Egypt.
, reaching Sicily in the west and the Black Sea in the north...
After many years of investigation, Herodotus wrote a book called "History", which covered the continent of Europe, Persia, Egypt and other places.
Do you know the local customs?"
"...Thucydides believes that the content of history is the events that have just happened. Do you have an opinion on this?
I wonder if Yuan Zhi has ever read his "History of the Peloponnesian War". That book describes an extremely important war in the continent of Europe.
The ancients said that when writing history, one should talk about the great cause in a subtle way and write down the Spring and Autumn Period.
Thucydides believed that it is impossible to accurately understand the distant past, even the history before our time. Because they are too far away from us in time. Therefore, he divided archeology and history.
Category. So do you think what he said is correct? Looking at the history writers since Confucius, have they ever really managed to write the Spring and Autumn Period and be fair?"
"Okay, you said these are barbarian studies, then let's talk about the things of saints.
Sage Confucius once had three thousand disciples, and he taught without distinction. His disciples included craftsmen, farmers, businessmen, and officials... But I heard that you said that 'people are born with distinctions between high and low', so I
I would like to ask, is what Master said correct, or are you, Zhou Buyi, more powerful than the sage?"
Cao Peng knew very well that he could not let Zhou Buyi take the lead.
This child is very sharp-tongued. Once he seizes the opportunity and takes the initiative, he will be passive.
Zhou Buyi is good at substituting advantages and disadvantages, while Cao Peng has to control this rhythm.
He didn't need to argue with Zhou Buyi, he just needed to keep asking questions, disrupting Zhou Buyi's thoughts, so that the rhythm could always be controlled by him. If it came to talking about classic articles, Cao Peng really didn't think he could beat Zhou Buyi.
No doubt. This child has been nurtured in this field since he was a child, which is far beyond the comparison of a halfway monk like Cao Peng. Of course, after being reborn for ten years, Cao Peng has an understanding of most of the articles and classics of this era. At the same time, he can feel
By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Confucianism was inclusive of all rivers.
Even during the Tang and Song Dynasties, Confucianism was not the opinion of one family, but the contention of hundreds of schools of thought.
Until the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols did not understand the true meaning of Confucianism, so they defined Confucianism as Confucianism, completely destroying the tradition of Confucianism that had been passed down for more than a thousand years. By the Ming Dynasty, the inclusiveness of Confucianism no longer existed. Neo-Confucianism began to rise and became
A twisted religion.
Cao Peng was able to talk about barbarian studies in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was precisely because Confucianism and Confucian scholars in this period were struggling to pursue the true meaning of Confucianism. Their inclusiveness was destined to absorb all kinds of different ideas.
foreign academics and formed its own theoretical system.
Compared with the classics, ten Cao Peng may not be Zhou Buyi's opponents.
But compared with knowledge, there are eighteen hundred years of experience out of thin air. Even a hundred Zhou Buyi is no match for Cao Peng.
Cao Peng seized the opportunity and controlled the right to speak in his own hands. He used a series of questions to make Zhou Buyi unable to think calmly and could only follow Cao Peng's thoughts. By the time Cao Peng had completely controlled Zhou Buyi's thoughts
After that, he launched a fierce attack.
Although Zhou Buyi still straightened his chest, his face gradually turned pale.
What Cao Peng said made him feel the vastness of the world, and he was simply a frog at the bottom of a well looking at the sky.
Not only Zhou Buyi, but also Kong Rong beside him couldn't help but be overwhelmed by Cao Peng's words. His expression was solemn and he was silent.
"When I was in Xingyang, I heard the debate between Yuan Zhi and Mr. Zhong Yu.
I don't know much about Chen Wei Fu Rui. However, I do know that Mr. Zhong Yu's moral articles are a model for the world. He once wrote "Dongguan Han Ji", which discussed the gains and losses of the court in detail, which can be used as a reference for future generations.
And Yuanzhi, what kind of articles have you written now to educate the world?
Maybe you will say that Zhang Liang and Xiao He have no works spread, but they have indeed made great contributions to the country.
However, today I am talking about Zhang Liang and Xiao He because they have already made great achievements. Yuan Zhi, let me ask you, what achievements do you have that I know of?
If not, what qualifications do you have to accuse Mr. Zhongyu?
You are now fifteen, but you have given up your studies and do not seek to make progress; you are now fifteen, and you have left your parents in Jingxiang, and you are living in a capital, chasing fame and wealth; you are now fifteen, and you have not made any achievements, but you regard the sages as nothing. Yuan.
Straightforward, I am not strict, but I really don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is. Talking nonsense about saints is the behavior of a villain.
You talk about high and low.
Okay, let’s talk about nobleness and cheapness.
Since ancient times, sages and sages have relied on themselves to establish their lives and fortunes. The opening chapter of the Book of Changes says: Heaven is moving vigorously, and a gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself.
The noble one, Zi Wen, fought with me in Hexi on the fifteenth year; when I was fifteen, I assisted Deng Shusun and gained a foothold in Haixi; Zijian was frivolous, but he could write beautiful articles in the fourteenth year; and the mean ones, I know many people, they
He was born in a bad family and his family was not high, but at the age of fifteen he was able to stand on his own in the world. He could be a soldier and conquer the world;
This is self-improvement.
Yuan Zhi, how can you strengthen yourself? Could it be that you just rely on the power of your words to settle down and make a living?"
Zhou Buyi's face was as pale as paper and he didn't know how to refute.
Cao Peng's words were unreasonable, which made his sharp tongue useless.
Cao Peng sneered and said: "The noble man, relying on his own talent and learning, can bring peace to the country through literature and rule the country through military force. He can bring peace to the world by mounting a horse, and he can make the people live and work in peace and contentment with his pen. Either he can teach the people, or his achievements will last for a long time. By relying on his own ability,
Those who can stand between heaven and earth are truly noble.
But those who are uneducated and have no skills, only know how to steal and show off their rhetoric, but have no skills, they are despicable, despicable 'vile'."
Cao Peng almost pointed at Zhou Buyi's nose and called him a 'bitch'.
Then, he sneered grimly.
"Since I was born, I have been worthy of the common people.
I assisted my brother in bringing great order to the west of Haixi, and could deliver millions of grains and grass to the country every year. In the land of Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. In the two years since the establishment of An'an, the population increased by 200,000. I fought in Guandu, and led my troops to kill Yan Liang and punish Wen Chou.
, traveled across the battlefield, fought between the two formations, and beheaded countless generals; I went to Shuofang as an envoy to govern Hexi, return Hexi to the Central Plains, and prevent Hexi from war disasters.
I campaigned in Liangzhou, suppressed the war in Liangzhou for three years, and made great achievements for the imperial court.
I have written an eight-hundred-character text, which can help young children understand the truth and understand the past and present; I have written a three-character classic, so that people can know good and evil, and understand loyalty and filial piety...
Zhou Bujie, how qualified are you to comment on me? What qualifications do you have to say that I am not? Everyone here, those who are not more knowledgeable than you, what qualifications do you have to say that they are not good? In my opinion, you are not qualified to comment
If anyone wants to evaluate others, he must first examine himself. How virtuous can you be, sitting here, in a house full of high-ranking scholars? If I were you, I would never have the dignity to stay here again."
Zhou Buji suddenly stood up, pointing his finger at Cao Peng, his lips trembling.
And a pair of eyes stared at him indifferently...
Cao Peng could see tears flashing in his eyes.
I couldn't help but feel intolerable in my heart.
He is still a child!
Being instigated by others, you actually have no control over yourself...
But as soon as I changed my mind, the unbearable feeling was suppressed again.
At this time, he must not be the least bit merciful. This has nothing to do with Cao Chong, this is a war between him and Zhou Buji's strength behind him.
Zhou Buji put down his hand, turned around and opened the door.
The moment he walked out of the Accord, he suddenly turned around, bowed deeply to Cao Peng, and silently closed the door.
"Youxue, well said!"
"Young Master has taught me a lesson. This kid is showing off his rhetoric all day long and is not worthy of being a son of a man."
Cao Peng glanced at those people coldly, then suddenly took a deep breath and stood up, "Mr. Rong, I am restless and a little irritable. I will leave first. I will hold a banquet in the mansion tomorrow. If Mr. Rong is free,
You might as well come and have a chat. I'm sorry, I'll take my leave now..."
He really didn't feel happy. On the contrary, he felt a little heavy in his heart.
Zhou Buji's child, after he scolded him today, he is afraid that he will have no place to stay in Xudu...
Thinking about it, it seems that I scolded him a little too harshly.
But there is no way, this child is looking for trouble all day long, if he continues, I am afraid his life will be ruined.
His arrogance, his stubbornness, and his quick thinking may make him a famous person, but if he gets involved in politics, he will die sooner or later without a burial place.
Kong Rong looked at Cao Peng with admiration and nodded.
It is the virtue of a gentleman not to be arrogant when he wins.
Cao Peng was not happy because he defeated Zhou Buji in the debate, but showed a heavy look on his face, which also showed that he was a virtuous person.
"What Youxue said today has opened Kong Rong's eyes wide.
I will pay a visit tomorrow and have a heart-to-heart chat with my friends. I lost some interest in the gathering today, so why not just break up."
In fact, why didn't Kong Rong feel sorry for Zhou Buji?
Although Ying Jun failed to achieve his goal, he had already established a connection with Cao Peng.
For him, this is already a success...
Therefore, when Kong Rong said it was time to break up, he did not stop him, but readily agreed. Since the convener decided to break up, there was no point in everyone staying here. After Cao Peng said goodbye, he sat astride the restaurant.
Immediately, walk slowly towards Fengchehou Mansion.
At this time, it was not yet the ban time, so the streets were still very lively.
In the distance, Cao Peng saw a lonely figure walking along the long street, as if he was lost in thought.
It’s Zhou Buyi!
For a fifteen-year-old child, the blow Zhou Buji received today was an unprecedented experience. He considered himself to be an unparalleled eloquent, he considered himself to be a talented scholar, he considered himself to be well-read, and he considered himself to be a well-read man.
Extraordinary knowledge. But in front of Cao Peng, the things he was proud of in the past became illusions like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. From the first debate in Xudu, he had never failed. But those
Victory, when I think about it now, is so ridiculous, so pale, and meaningless...
It turns out that he didn’t win!
But those who are really knowledgeable don't even bother to argue with him.
He had never heard of what Cao Peng was talking about. And those weird names of barbarians made him feel extremely confused.
If you don’t know how big the world is, how can you talk nonsense about it?
Could it be that in the eyes of others, I am really just a clown? A shallow person?
The sound of horse hooves sounded behind him, but Zhou Buyi seemed unaware.
A horse blocked his way, and a loud voice sounded in his ears, "Zhou Buyi!"
He raised his head and looked in shock.
Under the light, Zhou Buyi saw a very familiar face.
"Cao...Peng!"
Cao Peng stared at him with burning eyes.
After a while, he suddenly said: "Yuan Zhi, go home.
This is an adult world, and there are many things you can't imagine. Go home, study hard, and come back to argue with me when you have finished your studies. Go back and tell those behind you not to use such despicable means. If you have the ability, stand up
When you come out, don't let the children charge in the front. I respect him a lot, but if he only has these means, tell him, he is trash.
Go back, I believe your relatives are waiting for you to return home."
At first, Zhou Buyi stubbornly straightened his back and looked at Cao Peng.
He originally thought that Cao Peng would humiliate him again, but he was even ready to receive such humiliation.
Unexpectedly...
For some reason, Zhou Buyi's nose felt sore and tears flowed down.
Cao Peng sighed, took out a square scarf from his arms, and threw it into Zhou Buyi's hand.
"Yuanzhi, there are many ways to become famous, but you chose the stupidest and most irrational way.
Perhaps, your name Zhou Buyi can be known to people quickly. But I guarantee you, without real talent and learning, you will be ridiculed sooner or later."
After saying that, Cao Peng turned his horse's head and walked away.
Zhou Busuo held the square handkerchief in his hand and suddenly burst into tears after a while.
It turned out that everything he had done was so childish and ridiculous in Cao Peng's eyes. It turned out that he had already guessed his origin...
