Upon hearing the old man's name, several Confucian scholars quickly bowed and bowed.
Although they are not from the same school, you still need to have respect when facing great scholars from other schools. Especially for Confucian scholars, except for a certain school, most of them are reasonable and polite. If you abuse them
The person in question was not Han Fei but Gongsun Long. Maybe they would not take action because they should respect their elders, cherish the young, and be kind and generous to others. This is what Confucius taught them.
Confucius left a lot of morals to his descendants. Compared with political concepts, Confucius seemed to talk about how to be a human being the most. In many of Confucius' thoughts, the proportion of moral thoughts is very high. Therefore, most of the Confucian disciples
They are all kind, generous, uphold justice, and will draw swords against their enemies in anger, but this gradually changes, and the more they go on, the more they become like this.
I didn’t learn Confucius’ self-discipline, but I learned Confucius’ arrogance. I didn’t learn Confucius’ morality, but I learned to be adaptable... Confucius could maintain his arrogance because of his self-discipline, and looked at those selfish villains with disdain.
Because of his own morality, he knows when to bow his head appropriately and when not to do so.
Zou Yan laughed and chatted with these people for a while. When he learned that Ma Fujun was not here, the old man was a little depressed. However, when he heard that there was Han Fei here, he became interested and said goodbye to these young Confucian scholars with a smile.
, the carriage drove towards Mafu Township.
The Confucian scholars lowered their heads and no longer had the arrogance they had when they came. They were all thinking about Han Fei's remarks. Although the remarks made them extremely angry, they were still thinking seriously. One Confucian scholar suddenly
He opened his mouth and said: "It is obviously impossible to regulate everyone with the morality of saints. Even during the period of Yao, Shun, and Yu, the existence of villains could not be avoided."
"Why do you say that? Do you agree with Han Fei's remarks?"
"That's not the case. I still think that only a society where everyone has morals and everyone is kind is the most perfect. But can the world we pursue really be achieved?", the one who was annoyed by Han Fei.
He called the Confucian who vomited blood Zi Xiu. These dozen people all belonged to the Confucian class of Zizhang. They were also the despicable Confucians scolded by Xunzi. Their pioneer was Zhuan Sunshi, a disciple of Confucius, whose nickname was Zizhang.
In the Analects, most of the questions were asked by this person and Confucius. He seemed to like asking questions, which made Confucius a little dissatisfied, saying that his thoughts were too extreme. Zizhang Zhiru was also the most popular nowadays. They pursued
They were strict with others and pursued too much the moral world mentioned by Confucius. This made Xunzi very dissatisfied with them, saying that they imitated Yao and Shun all day long on the outside, but they didn't learn anything on the inside.
Zixiu suddenly said: "Confucius said: The world is a family. Each one raises his own parents, each loves his own son, and works hard to make a living for himself. Use rules, regulations, ethics and morals to clarify the relationship between king and minister, and promote the relationship between father and son.
, let brothers become harmonious, let couples stop quarreling, let people have land that can be cultivated, and build city walls to protect themselves...Perhaps, the kind of society that the saint mentioned is what we can pursue now.
"
"You?!" Several Confucian scholars around looked at him in surprise, their eyes full of confusion and anger. Zixiu said seriously: "Although there are many Confucian scholars in our sect, there is no one who can speak for us.
, there is no world-famous sage, and what Han Fei said now corresponds to our shortcomings. Everything has changed. In this case, why can't we also make appropriate changes? "
"This is just like if I want to eat fruit, I have to cultivate fruit trees carefully. If I just miss delicious fruits all day long but don't plant fruit trees, how can I get fruit?"
"You are wrong!" A quarrel suddenly broke out among the Confucian scholars. What made Zixiu happy was that it was not that no one supported him. This group of Confucian scholars divided into two groups and rushed to Qi State quarreling.
But those who supported Zi Xiu took out the "Full Malaysia Service Book" from nowhere and began to compare their ideals and look for a suitable system to use as a reference.
At this time, Zou Yan's carriage had just arrived. Zou Yan got off the carriage. The people gathered here were still talking about the debate just now. No one noticed the old man. He was only chatting with Han Fei.
Gongsun Long, who was looking up to the sky, saw him. He looked at the old man. The old man couldn't even walk on his own and needed someone to help him. But his eyes were not cloudy at all and he was full of energy. He got off the carriage.
His eyes were fixed on Han Fei.
Han Fei followed Gongsun Long's gaze and saw Zou Yan.
Han Fei stepped forward and paid homage to the elder. Just then he asked him why he was here and whether he needed help. Zou Yan squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "I'm here to see Mr. Ma Fu. I heard that Mr. Ma Fu is very interested in the dynasty."
Chang, he has his own views on astronomy and geography, and I want to discuss the knowledge with him..." Han Fei suddenly became a little cold when he heard that it was another person who was looking for trouble.
He said: "My teacher is busy building channels to help the victims. Please come back another day."
"No, I'll wait for him here."
Gongsun Long then came over, and after meeting this man, he smiled and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Zou Yan." The old man revealed his identity again. Gongsun Long's eyes widened. Zou Yan was from Qi. He initially served King Yan Zhao and was a colleague of Le Yi. King Yan Zhao heard that he was coming and took the
Cleaning the floor for him with a broom, for fear that he would be stained with dust. For such a famous person, he was not only older than Gongsun Long, but also more famous than him. Gongsun Long worshiped again and also told himself
identity of.
The old man looked him over and over, then nodded with some disdain.
Naturally, Han Fei had heard of him, so he took him to the school. On the way, Zou Yan asked when Zhao Kuo would come back. Han Fei said unhappily: "If you are in a hurry to debate, here is a
Mr. Gongsun Long, you can debate with him." Gongsun Long quickly thought about how to deal with Zou Yan later, his competitive spirit was aroused, and he stared at Zou Yan's face.
"I won't argue with him." Zou Yan said seriously.
Han Fei was stunned and then asked: "Why is this? Are you worried that you can't debate him?" Gongsun Long was also curious and looked at Zou Yan in confusion. Logically speaking, an academic like Zou Yan would
You shouldn't be afraid to argue with yourself.
Zou Yan said seriously: "The so-called debate should distinguish different types without wanting to infringe, and arrange different concepts without confusing them. Express one's own intentions and general concepts, express one's own opinions, and let others understand, instead of being confused and confused."
"In this way, the winner of the debate can stick to his position, and the loser can also get the truth he seeks. This kind of debate can be carried out."
"If you use red tape as evidence, use clever rhetoric to slander each other, use fancy words to steal concepts, and attract others to miss the point, it will hinder the fundamental principles of scholarship. That kind of entanglement and aggressiveness will always lead to
The practice of others being willing to shut up only after admitting defeat is harmful to the demeanor of a gentleman, and I, Zou Yan, will never participate in it."
When Han Fei heard this, he couldn't help but said: "You are so right..." Then, he realized that Gongsun Long was also here, so he stopped talking, but the disciples around him started talking wantonly.
, obviously they all agreed with Zou Yan's words. This time, Gongsun Long's face turned red, but he had fallen to the level of the Confucian scholar just now. He wanted to refute, but found that no matter what he said, he would become what Zou Yan said was contrary to the gentleman's demeanor.
defense.
Gongsun Long covered his face with his sleeves and left in a hurry, never wanting to walk by Zou Yan's side again. Regarding Gongsun Long's departure, Zou Yan didn't say anything. He just looked at Han Fei beside him with a smile.
Asked: "What do you think is the reason for the change of dynasty?"
"A country is neither permanently strong nor permanently weak. If the law enforcers are strong, the country will be strong, and if the law enforcers are weak, the country will be weak. The system is not permanently advanced. If the system does not change with the changes of the times, it will perish. If it can adapt to the times, it will be destroyed.
And those who constantly make adjustments can become stronger." Han Fei answered seriously.
Zou Yan did not directly refute Han Fei. On the contrary, he nodded.
When he entered the school, Zou Yan also sat where the disciples were listening to the lectures. Han Fei sat in front of him. The disciples sat around and looked at the old man seriously, as did the several disciples Zou Yan brought.
Standing behind him and looking at the people in front of him, Zou Yan said to Han Fei: "Everything in the world changes in a regular way. From nature to human society, there are rules to follow.
, do you know about this?"
Han Fei shook his head, unmoved. Judging from his appearance, he was a firm and ruthless law enforcer. He would not listen to such ridiculous remarks. He only looked at reality.
Of course, if Zhao Kuo were here, he would definitely be shocked, because these remarks sound familiar.
Zou Yan said seriously: "In order to understand this law, I watched the sky and carefully explored the geography. I finally understood the laws of the movement of heaven and earth. Everything in this world is based on the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
It operates according to laws... When the Yellow Emperor first came to power, big earthworms appeared in the sky. The Yellow Emperor said that this represented strong earthy energy, so the Yellow Emperor worshiped yellow in his time."
"In the time of Dayu, the grass and trees did not wither in winter. Dayu said: This is because the wood energy is strong! When he arrived at Shang Tang, the reflection of the sword appeared in the water. Shang Tang said: The gold energy was strong! At the time of King Wen of Zhou,
A bird with its body burning with flames appeared, and King Wen said: "The fire energy is strong!"
"So all things are interdependent. Am I right?"
Everyone started talking immediately, and there was a lot of noise, but Han Fei shook his head and said: "The Yellow Emperor fought bravely, Dayu controlled the water, Shang Tang treated the princes gently, and King Wen got the support of the people, this is how they can become strong."
The reason has nothing to do with the Five Elements."
"You have to admit that this kind of law exists. It must exist. Even if what I say is wrong, it does not mean that the law I am studying does not exist!"
Han Fei stood up angrily and said loudly: "I was wrong. There are not only five kinds of moths in the world, but also one kind of moth. They can't help the king to govern the world, and they can't teach the people how to abide by the law, but they can't help the king to govern the world, but they can't teach the people how to abide by the law.
You are the sixth kind of worm who spreads theories about ghosts and gods to confuse kings, promote dynasty changes, and encourage traitors to rebel!" Zou Yan suddenly laughed.
"Excuse me, what are the five of the same kind?"
.......
Zhao Kuo rolled up his trouser legs and supported Zhan. Several people walked in the mud. Zheng Guo was at the front. He carefully looked at the damage here and checked nearby channels. He settled here again.
, he had been writing something on the bamboo slips all day long. Zhao Kuo took a sneak peek and found that there were all kinds of graphics and some calculations on them. Zhao Kuo stopped reading immediately because he had a headache.
After Zheng Guo looked here, he went to check the channels dug by Ximen Bao. They also suffered disasters. After reading these, he was busy for several days, and then he said to Zhao Kuo seriously: "
I understand the reason. The positions of these channels are correct. There are only a few minor errors, which can be changed. But the problem is that the structure is not rigorous. There are mud and stones on both sides of the channels, but the bottom layer is not...
"
"This channel should be stabilized on three sides by stones..." Zheng Guo said seriously, Zhan nodded from time to time, and Zhao Kuo looked confused. Is there anything about stones here?
When Zheng Guo drew up his plan in detail, including establishing eleven new small channels, and calculating all the supplies and manpower he might need, Zhao Kuo was completely confused.
Not to mention the raw materials, it was the 300,000 civilians that Zheng wanted. Where could he find them?
Zhao Kuo said with some embarrassment: "You know the things about Zhao State. In recent years, although the people of Zhao State have become richer than the dynasty, there is not enough food in the treasury, and there is not as much food as you need.
Raw materials, it is even more impossible for Zhao State to mobilize 300,000 people to come here to build channels... Please understand, slightly reduce the manpower, reduce some raw materials, and make appropriate adjustments, do you think it is okay?"
Zheng Guo said angrily: "The channel is a very important matter. After the channel is built, it can benefit the people nearby for hundreds of years. However, if there is any negligence, it will definitely cause disasters and harm the people. I will build the channel."
It’s to help others, not to hurt others. Please don’t say that. Isn’t it cost-effective to use hundreds of thousands of people to build a fertile land that can benefit millions of people?”
Zhao Kuo was stunned. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's not that I don't want to, it's that Zhao Guo doesn't have such strength..."
"Well, I'll take you to Yu Qing to discuss this matter with him. Don't worry, I will personally participate in the construction, and I will also use my wealth to help with the construction... In this matter, we
It must be completed, and the people on both sides of the river cannot continue to suffer such disasters!"
