Comprehensive martial arts: Qixia town storytellers, the beginning of the tie to Qiao Feng

Chapter 302 The words are not astonishing and die endlessly!
Songhai City.

Just when everyone was talking about what happened in Youjian Inn today.

There was even more exciting news.

Fu Nian, head of Confucianism in Xiaoshengxianzhuang, asked Yan Lu, the second master, to go to Youjian Inn to hand over the greeting card.

He will go to Youjian Inn in person at Sishi tomorrow, and then have an academic discussion with Lu Yan.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Fu Nian, as the current head of Confucianism, is also the head of the Qilu Three Heroes.

It can be said that it is the No. 1 Confucianism except Xunzi, and it can be called a great contemporary Confucianism.

Now he actually wants to have an academic discussion with Lu Yan in person.

In the eyes of everyone, the discussion is fake, and the real thing is to restore the face lost today!
I just don't know who will win or lose in the "battle" between Lu Yan and Fu Nian tomorrow.

Judging from today's situation, Lu Yan obviously wants to gain some advantage.

But Fu Nian is a great contemporary Confucian after all, and his fame and prestige are all there.

It's really hard to say who wins and loses when these two meet.

Everyone decided that tomorrow they must go to Youjian Inn early to occupy a favorable position, so as to witness this grand event with their own eyes!
……

Inn.

in the room.

A slender figure stood in front of the window, overlooking the sea.

He is handsome, elegant and easy-going, with an extraordinary temperament, and his whole body exudes the aura of power and authority, obviously from an extraordinary background.

He is the son Fusu, the eldest son of Qin Shihuang today.

He read poetry and books freely, and highly respected Confucianism.

After hearing what happened in Youjian Inn today, I couldn't help being a little surprised.

At the same time, he was also a little dissatisfied with Lu Yan.

He felt that Lu Yan was using those Confucian disciples who made mistakes to insult Fu Nian and Confucianism.

Then I heard that Fu Nian was going to discuss academic issues with Lu Yan.

Immediately he made a decision that tomorrow he would go to Youjian Inn in person to see with his own eyes how Fu Nian made Lu Yan bow his head and admit his mistake.

……

Outside the city, in a quiet mountain village.

Bandit Zhi descended from the sky and said to the crowd, "Something has happened!"

When everyone recuperating here heard Robao Zhi's words, they all curiously asked what happened.

When Robber Zhi excitedly told everyone what happened at Youjian Inn today and what Yan Lu sent the greeting card to everyone, everyone was very surprised.

This is the first time they have heard of using Confucian classics to refute Confucian behavior.

"This is probably what Han Fei said about using the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son."

The class master sighed.

In this day and age, it is really rare to see people who dare to be so disrespectful to Confucianism.

Master Xu nodded slightly, and said, "Mr. Lu's use of Confucian classics to refute Confucianism is indeed very ingenious."

Xue Nu said curiously: "Since that's the case, why don't we join in the fun tomorrow?"

Gao Jianli shook his head and said: "This matter is such a big deal, people from the state of Qin will definitely join in the fun, and we may be in danger of being exposed in the past."

Robber Zhi said: "Hey, I thought of this a long time ago, so I asked Fatty Ding to prepare a private room for us on the second floor."

"This private room is not only safe, but you can also clearly hear the sounds from outside."

"At that time, as long as we sit in this private room, no one will see us."

Xuenv's face showed emotion when she heard the words, and she looked at Gao Jianli again.

Gao Jianli smiled slightly and said, "In that case, let's go and have a look."

Only Gai Nie, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, just silently polished his wooden sword with a dagger.

……

There is an inn.

Lu Yan returned to his room after finishing his storytelling today.

Xie Zhuoyan looked at Lu Yan and asked curiously, "Are you confident in tomorrow's debate?"

Lu Yan replied: "If you want to discuss the subtleties of Confucianism, then I would definitely not be as good as Fu Nian."

Lu Yan had never read much Confucianism.

If they discussed it, he might not be able to understand what Fu Nian meant.

Xie Zhuoyan heard the words and said: "Then can't you deal with him?"

Lu Yan chuckled and said, "It's not okay to discuss Confucianism, but I have two hands when it comes to arguments."

Xie Zhuoyan immediately asked: "Then what are you going to do tomorrow?"

Lu Yan smiled mysteriously and replied, "Tomorrow I have three questions waiting for Fu Nian, let's see how he answers."

……

Early the next morning.

An inn has just opened.

Immediately, a large number of people poured in.

In just one stick of incense, the lobby was already full.

Because of what happened yesterday, Pao Ding had expected that the popularity in the inn would be very hot today.

But he never expected that the lobby was full just after the door opened, at least more than 100 people were crowded.

And on the road outside the inn, there were many people standing on the third floor and the third floor.

"Everyone, everyone, what do you need to eat?"

Pao Ding looked at the crowd with a smile.

This place is already taken up, so I'm embarrassed not to order anything, right?
When everyone heard Pao Ding's words, they immediately understood.

If you have more money, you can order two more dishes, and if you have less money, you can order a bowl of porridge.

Soon every table of guests ordered food and paid for it.

Pao Ding immediately happily went to the back kitchen to get busy.

Since there is still some time before the agreed time, Lu Yan and Fu Nian are not there yet.

Everyone began to discuss.

"Guys, who will win today?"

"I guess it's Mr. Fu Nian, after all, he is the Three Masters of Qi and Lu, a great Confucian of today!"

"I also think Mr. Fu Nian is more likely to win."

"Those few yesterday were just Confucian disciples, and they are completely incomparable with great Confucians!"

"When the time comes, you'll know if you don't see it!"

not far away.

Xinghun, Da Siming and Shao Siming sat together, listening to the conversation around them with great interest.

No matter what others think, Xinghun doesn't care who wins or loses.

He just needs the discussion to be exciting enough.

Of course, if Confucianism can lose face, he would be more than happy to applaud.

But Fusu, who was sitting at another table, had the opposite idea.

In his opinion, Fu Nian has absolutely no chance of losing.

Lu Yan is just a storyteller, and absolutely cannot be compared with a great Confucianist like Fu Nian.

At this time, the Mohists were in the hidden private room on the second floor.

They saw the situation in the lobby through the small hole in the window, and soon found the three of them.

Fortunately, they were well prepared, otherwise they would not have come to watch the excitement today, but would have become the excitement to be watched by others.

……

As time passed bit by bit, Lu Yan finally walked down the stairs.

Almost at the same time as Lu Yan went downstairs, the crowd at the entrance of the inn suddenly dispersed to both sides.

Then a group of Confucian disciples headed by Fu Nian came over.

Along with Fu Nian, besides Yan Lu and Zhang Liang, there were other Confucian disciples.

Jing Tianming and Xiang Shaoyu, whose aliases were Ziming and Ziyu, were also among them.

Lu Yan looked at the majestic Fu Nian, smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I've heard Mr. Fu Nian's name for a long time, and I wanted to meet him for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet in this way today."

Fu Nian looked at Lu Yan who was standing on the stairs, and said calmly: "I have also heard Mr. Lu's name for a long time. The story of "Feng Shen Yan Yi" is good, but it is indeed difficult to be elegant."

When everyone heard what Lu Yan and Fu Nian said, they couldn't help but get a little excited.

As soon as these two people met, their words sounded like they were fighting each other.

Wouldn't it be more exciting to discuss academics later?

It is said that literati look down on each other, and it is true!
As the host, Lu Yan stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit down."

Pao Ding had already prepared seats for Lu Yan and Fu Nian.

At this time, Fu Nian was not polite, and walked straight to the seat.

It was also the first time for Lu Yan to do as the Romans did, sitting opposite Fu Nian.

Fu Nian looked at Lu Yan and said, "It was indeed wrong for the Confucian disciples to come and provoke us yesterday. It was not wrong for Mr. Lu to teach them a lesson."

"But you said that we Confucian disciples only know how to read the classics of the sages, follow the rules, and have a rigid mind, but you are wrong."

"A few Confucian disciples can only represent themselves, not the entire Confucianism."

"My Confucian teaching disciples should take benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom as the moral principles of life."

"Only by doing this can one be considered a qualified Confucian disciple."

"I don't know what Mr. Lu thinks?"

When everyone heard Fu Nian's words, they immediately looked at Lu Yan, expecting Lu Yan's reaction.

Lu Yan smiled slightly and said, "The sages of Confucianism have left many classics that are regarded as the standard, and they are widely praised."

"In this regard, I must admit the greatness of the Confucian sages."

"But unfortunately, you Confucian disciples are not very up-to-date."

"Just study hard and don't know how to use what you have learned, so that some classics will change when they are passed on to you."

Hear Lu Yan's response.

Everyone's faces changed slightly.

Who would have thought that Lu Yan could be so aggressive when facing Fu Nian!
Fu Nian's expression remained unchanged, and he asked, "Why did Mr. Lu say that?"

Lu Yan said calmly: "I heard that Xiaoshengxian Village does not set up a kitchen in the villa on the grounds that the gentleman stays away from the kitchen, and the daily meals are provided by an inn."

"I should be right, right?"

Fu Nian nodded and said: "That's right, our Little Shengxian Village does have this rule."

Lu Yan asked, "Where did this gentleman come from, far away from the kitchen?"

Fu Nian replied: "The gentleman far cooks the kitchen from "Mencius" "Liang Huiwang Chapter [-]"."

"It is a classic that my Confucian sage Mencius used to exhort King Xuan of Qi to practice the art of benevolence."

"I use this to warn Confucian disciples not to kill easily, and to have a benevolent heart."

"I don't know what's wrong?"

Everyone thought carefully after hearing the words.

I don't think there is anything wrong with Xiao Shengxian Zhuang's doing so.

Isn't that what a gentleman should do when he stays away from the kitchen?

Lu Yan smiled slightly and said, "It's not just a mistake, it's a big mistake, it's completely different from what Mencius meant!"

Everyone was surprised when they heard Lu Yan's words.

Lu Yan said so, isn't he afraid that the wind will flash his tongue?
Fu Nian took a deep look at Lu Yan and said, "Mr. Lu, please point out the mistakes."

Lu Yan said indifferently: "Mencius used this to advise King Xuan of Qi to practice benevolence, and to warn Confucian disciples not to kill easily, but to have a benevolent heart."

"This is also the theory of governing the country. It is necessary to govern the world with benevolent politics."

"But Mr. Fu Nian, have you ever thought that you Confucian disciples have misinterpreted the meaning of this sentence?"

"Little Shengxian Village doesn't have a kitchen, so naturally it doesn't kill animals and livestock, so there won't be any whining."

"And Confucian disciples can't hear these wailing sounds, how can they develop a heart of compassion? How can they know the value of life?"

"Without compassion, where is the beginning of benevolence?"

"Your proposition does keep Confucian disciples away from cooks, but it also keeps Confucian disciples away from benevolence."

"It's like an attic in the air. It has been divorced from reality and has a surface."

"In this way, wouldn't it be a misinterpretation of the meaning of the sages?"

"I said that you are completely different from each other, isn't it right?"

As Lu Yan's words fell, hundreds of people in the huge inn fell into silence.

Everyone looked at Lu Yan dumbfounded.

In the past, I heard that gentlemen stay away from the kitchen, so Xiaoshengxianzhuang didn't set up a kitchen, and when they specially asked an inn to take care of the catering, everyone thought that Confucianism was doing the right thing.

But hearing Lu Yan's words at this time, Confucianism clearly misinterpreted the meaning of the sages!

If you can't hear the wailing and see the misery of animals, how can you have compassion?

Without compassion, where does benevolence come from?

Isn't the benevolence among benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom just like a loft in the air, an illusion!
Lu Yan turned his head and looked at Zimu and the others who came to pick quarrels yesterday, and said flatly: "If there is no benevolence, you will have to act domineering."

"This little sage village of Confucianism is going to become a little domineering village of Legalism!"

hiss!
Everyone gasped when they heard what Lu Yan said later.

Murder and kill!
It's a murderous heart!

Involuntarily, everyone looked at Fu Nian.

At this moment, Fu Nian's complexion was pale, and there were beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

Obviously, he was also speechless by Lu Yan's words!
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.

Could it be that Fu Nian is about to lose like this? !

Not far away, Fusu was even more shocked when he saw this scene!
A contemporary great Confucian can't argue with a storyteller? !

Yan Lu and Zhang Liang, who were standing behind Fu Nian, looked worried when they saw Fu Nian's situation.

"This matter... is indeed my fault."

After a long time, Fu Nian finally spoke.

And when you open your mouth, you are admitting your mistake.

He took a deep look at Lu Yan and said, "A gentleman who stays away from the kitchen must first go through these things, hear the sound of mourning, and develop a heart of compassion before he can be benevolent."

"If you haven't experienced these things, where does the benevolence come from!"

Planting a tree will bear fruit, and if you want to bear fruit without planting a tree, it will only be a fantasy in the end.

Lu Yan smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Indeed."

Everyone looked at Fu Nian with extremely subtle eyes.

The great contemporary Confucianists are able to admit their mistakes in public, and they have courage and courage.

Admirable!

Fu Nian had calmed down at this time, and after admitting his mistake, he said, "However, Mr. Lu said earlier that my Confucian disciples follow the rules and have a rigid mind. I still don't admit it."

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Is "The Great Learning" a Confucian classic?"

Fu Nian replied without thinking: "It's natural."

Lu Yan asked again: "What is "University" about?"

Fu Nian replied: "Cultivate one's self, regulate one's family, rule the country and the world."

At this time, Lu Yan and Fu Nian were asking and answering questions like teachers and students, but it didn't make people feel that there was anything wrong.

At this time, everyone also had a question in their minds.

What's wrong with cultivating one's morality, regulating the family, governing the country and the world?

Lu Yan said lightly: "This is the core and most subtle idea of ​​"The Great Learning", but it is also your mistake!"

hiss!
When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but gasped again, and a turbulent sea was set off in their hearts.

Lu Yan's remarks clearly negate the core idea of ​​"The Great Learning", which is tantamount to denying the entire "Great Learning"!
You know, this "University" is one of the most classic classics of Confucianism!
This is a theory recognized by countless people!

How dare he be so brave!
Facing everyone's shocked, even shocked gazes, Lu Yan remained calm.

Since he said that, he is sure to convince everyone!

Fu Nian really didn't expect that Lu Yan would be so bold as to bluntly say that the core idea of ​​"University" is wrong!

If this came from a Confucian disciple, it would be an act of treason and betrayal of the ancestors.

A thousand cuts are not too much!

But facing Lu Yan with a confident face, he suddenly hesitated.

Is "University" really wrong?
"What's wrong?"

This time the person who asked the question was not Fu Nian, but Yan Lu.

Yan Lu, who had always been calm and aloof from the world, had a rare expression of seriousness.

Everyone is also extremely curious at this time, what is wrong with this "University"?
Lu Yan smiled slightly and said, "Cultivate one's self, regulate one's family, rule the country and the world. You teach your disciples according to this idea. Your original intention is to follow the ideas of the sages and teach the talents of the pillars. There is nothing wrong with that."

"But in your Confucianism, if a disciple doesn't follow the path of self-cultivation, family governance, state governance and world peace, what will happen?"

Yan Lu replied: "Our Confucianism does not have such disciples."

This is the purpose of Confucianism to teach disciples, so naturally the phenomenon Lu Yan mentioned will not occur.

Lu Yan smiled slightly and said, "Look, you Confucian disciples are all following the road of self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace. Without exception, you still say that you are not following the rules or rigid thinking?"

Fu Nian frowned and asked: "We are walking the right path, is there something wrong?"

Lu Yan shook his head and said, "It's right to go the right way, but it's not right to restrict the disciple's mind and force the disciple to take the road of self-cultivation, family governance, state governance and world peace."

"If there are disciples who don't follow this path, they will be reprimanded by you and will fail."

"If it is serious, it will be regarded as deviant. Faced with such severe punishment, disciples naturally dare not disobey, and they all follow this path."

"In this way, although the disciples have the belief that they will benefit the world, they all become the same in the end."

"Without your own thoughts, without your own understanding, everyone has the same idea in their minds."

"What's the difference between this and a puppet?"

"I would like to ask Confucian disciples, where are your own thoughts?"

"Apart from what the sages left behind, what new values ​​have you yourself created for Confucianism?"

boom!
Lu Yan's words rang in Fu Nian's ears like thunder on the ground.

Fu Nian was completely dumbfounded.

No innovation, no new insight.

Just blindly learn and inherit, step by step.

Isn't it just the performance of following the rules and rigid thinking?
In addition to inheriting the ideas of the sages, what did these disciples contribute to Confucianism? !

　The content of Confucianism in this chapter is my Baidu plus some of my own understanding.

　　If there is anything wrong, please point it out.

　　Ask for everything! !
