God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 51
Kong Yingda's face was gloomy, and he said sarcastically: "Du He, Ming people don't speak dark words. You are the son of the Duke of Lai, and as an official who reads, you have a reputation in Chang'an with "Youth Walk" and "Happy". For the sake of the name, but willing to degenerate, willing to be a craftsman, it is really despised by scholars all over the world!"

"Yes, willing to fall!"

"Let the world's scholars despise!"

Two youths next to him repeated.

Du He was amused, and pointed to the two of them and said, "Master Kong, are you talking about cross talk, and there are two of you who are joking?"

crosstalk?

Everyone was stunned.

Du He paused, and said: "Master Confucius' words are wrong. As the so-called 360 lines, there are champions in every practice. Scholars have imperial examination champions, carpenters also have masters, such as the famous Master Lu Ban, and there are also champions in leading soldiers and wars, such as Sun Wu. Son... Could it be that in the eyes of Master Confucius, all things are inferior and only reading is high? This is not advisable. Just imagine, if everyone in the world becomes a scholar, everyone sits and talks, no one grows crops, no one builds a house, No one cleans the streets, no one guards the border, so can this society function normally?"

Du He finished speaking.

The scene was as silent as the night.

Everyone's eyes widened.

Including Kong Yingda, who didn't know how to refute.

The key point is that although Du He only said a few words, he said one thing after another, and even gave a real example.

Especially the last rhetorical question, it is difficult to refute.

Kong Yingda was holding back for a long time before pointing at Du He with some dissatisfaction, "You, you are sophistry. In ancient times, there was Gongsun Long who argued that a horse is not a horse, but now there is Du He who argues that an official has degenerated into a carpenter. This is really an eye-opener for this old man! "

Du He's face was calm and breezy, and he didn't feel any pressure at all.

Hearing this, he became interested instead, shook his head, took out his fan and fanned it, and said: "Master Kong, you are wrong again this time, how can the matter of scholars be called sophistry, Gongsun Long said that a white horse is not a horse, This is correct in the first place, where is the sophistry, since you have come to this point, let's talk about it today."

Du He waved his hand, and Lu Bu immediately turned around and carried out a rotating wooden chair.

Du He sat down carelessly in front of the master.

When Kong Yingda and the others saw this, they all wanted to go up and kick Du He, but there was a tall and mighty Lu Bu next to him, so no one dared to move.

"Today, let's talk about how this white horse is not a horse!" Du He raised his legs and said slowly.

Du He looked at Kong Yingda: "Master Kong, it was you who proposed this white horse is not a horse, how about you explain why this is sophistry?"

Kong Yingda flicked his sleeves, and said arrogantly: "This is the truth that three-year-old children understand. A white horse is a white horse. Gongsun Long brazenly said that a white horse is not a horse. If this is not a sophistry, what is it?"

Du He pondered: "Master Confucius is right. White horses refer to white horses, and horses refer to all horses. But you are wrong about one thing."

"Where?" Kong Yingda's eyes widened.

Others are full of disbelief.

Kong Yingda is a representative figure of Confucianism in the Tang Dynasty. He has read a lot of poems and books, and many classics, and he can come here as soon as he opens his mouth. How could such a master make mistakes?
Du He laughed and said, "Of course, that is the word 'non', your explanation is wrong, 'non' should not be interpreted as 'not'."

It was the first time Kong Yingda had heard such a statement in his whole life, and a sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked, "Then tell me, how should we explain it?"

"'Non' should be interpreted as 'not equal to', not 'not'. This sentence should be interpreted as white horse is not equal to horse, because horse and white horse are inclusive relationship, not equal relationship. Horse includes yellow horse and green horse. , dark horses, etc., white horses are just one of them, so white horses are not equal to horses, white horses are not horses..."

After finishing speaking, Du He stood up and fanned the folding fan in his hand.

Kong Yingda's eyes widened again.

Everyone fell silent.

They all thought that Du He was talking nonsense, but when they said it this way, it seemed very reasonable.

A few words stunned everyone.

Even Kong Yingda thought for a while, but didn't know how to refute.

As for Du He, he just read this explanation in a book in his previous life. I don't know if it is correct or not, but it is very effective when used against Kong Yingda.

After a long while, Kong Yingda gritted his teeth, pointed at Du He and said, "Du He, your sophistry skills are really impressive. Well, even if you can degenerate yourself and become a carpenter, you shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't promote it." Revolving wooden chair, do you think you can cover up the essence of the Hu chair by naming it the revolving wooden chair? This is the Hu chair. Once the Hu chair becomes popular, what is the difference between us officials and the low-level untouchables? What about my etiquette in the Central Plains? hold fast?"

"wrong!"

Before the words fell, Du He roared and said: "Master Kong, I think you are also a person who reads sage books. It is really chilling to say such ridiculous words. Your Majesty said, Jun, Zhou, The people, the water, the water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. The sage Meng said that the people are more important than the ruler, and the country is second. How can you belittle the people of the Tang Dynasty? How did the people of the Tang Dynasty become untouchables? "

Kong Yingda blushed.

He didn't expect that this Du He was so powerful, he caught his loopholes immediately, and the most important thing was that he even quoted His Majesty's famous words, so how can he refute it.

"You...you are just trying to argue. Anyway, as long as this old man is alive, you will never be allowed to sell the rotating wooden chairs again. I will sit quietly at the gate of Lai Guogong's mansion. When will you promise not to sell the rotating wooden chairs again? When am I going to leave!"

As they said that, Kong Yingda and the others sat on the ground, completely blocking the gate of the Lai Kingdom Duke's Mansion.

In a short time, hundreds of people gathered to watch.

The old man said anxiously: "Young master, what should I do? Think about these people who are also scholars. How can they do such a thing differently from the rascals on the street!"

Du He shook his head and smiled helplessly: "You can't say that. Master Kong and the others must think that this is doing a great thing. We must be considerate of the mentality of the elderly."

"However, you can't block the gate of our Lai Guogong's mansion. It's going to be a joke if it goes on like this. Young master, you should think of a way!" Old Fu was like an ant on a hot pot, spinning around anxiously.

Du He waved his hand: "It's okay, just watch me!"

Du He stepped forward, came to Kong Yingda, and said: "Master Kong, please stand up, we have something to talk about, and there is room for discussion."

Kong Yingda's eyes lit up and she hurriedly got up.

Then Du He said: "Master Kong, please lift the hem of the robe a little bit!"

Kong Yingda looked bewildered, but he still did it.

He pulled up the hem of the robe with his right hand, revealing the pants inside.

This time, the eyes of everyone around were gathered.

Du He suddenly pointed at Kong Yingda's legs, and said loudly: "Look, everyone, what a pair of elegant bowed legs they are... Tsk tsk, I haven't been kneeling for decades, I can't exercise such a perfect curvature of."

wow...
