Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 4, full of gunpowder
"Yeah, Jixia Academy hasn't been so grand for a long time, and this time I have to thank you Confucianists." Another man in sackcloth said, the man is the hero of the peasant family, Tian Guang.

The reason why the Jixia debate started this time is, in the final analysis, the friction between Confucianism and famous scholars. It was originally a debate between two well-known people. As a result, the two old people got more and more talkative, and even wanted to do it. In the atmosphere of the Warring States period, everyone It's normal to argue with each other and even do it if the boss is up.

As a result, the disciples on the side didn't hold back for a while, and the two, who were over 100 years old together, started fighting directly.

Scholars at this time are not those poor Confucians who are not diligent and have no strength to restrain chickens, but ruthless people who go out to study at every turn. In the war-torn era, if you go out to study and have no force value, you may be robbed as soon as you leave the city. He pulled out so much that there was nothing left of his underpants.

Originally, this battle was won by the Confucianists, but the famous scholars refused to accept it, so they agreed to come back three days later. Based on the matter of the Jixia Academy, the Jixia Academy resolved it. The famous scholars did not call people from the sect, but mobilized their disciples Looking for friends in Jixia to help the scene, looking at the situation, Confucianism said that no one has any friends yet.

Three days later, the two groups of people looked at each other, and they were not convinced no matter what they saw. They were under the same roof, and they usually caused little friction because of some things. Thinking that famous schools and Confucianism have actually joined forces, it is such a good opportunity for everyone to take revenge and hold grievances.

A group of people looked at each other's faces, and they became more and more angry. They didn't know who started it first. These usually reasonable people saved the debate, and directly turned on the fighting mode, waving their fists and fighting.

Some people who did not participate in the group fights just rode on the wall and watched with gusto. Usually, everyone is academic, so it is inevitable to be boring. This kind of group fights is rare. If the court of Qi State did not know about this and sent troops to fight, I am afraid Just die a few old men.

But after going back, the two sides still refused to accept. Seeing that the matter could not be concealed, each family passed the news back to the sect. Usually, each sect had conflicts, so there was this Jixia Academy debate.

It's a debate, but it's actually because the group fights have aroused the contradictions of a hundred schools of thought. The contradictions are there. If you don't solve them, you can't explain them to your disciples.

"Xiakui was joking." A young man in ordinary linen clothes.The man's appearance is elegant and extraordinary. Although he is dressed simply, he has a natural luxury in his gestures. The man is the next head of Confucianism, Fu Nian.

"Jixia Academy is a place for academic debate. All families come here for academic debate. Naturally, there is no such thing as gratitude. It is surprising that all six halls of the farmhouse are here. I don't know who is the current Xiangnong. ?”

Hearing Fu Nian talking about Xiangnong, the faces of the farmers instantly turned ugly. As we all know, although the farmers are number one in terms of power, they are not considered to be the best in terms of knowledge. The division of work within the Baijia is very clear. Take Confucianism It is said that the Wen School and the Wu School are divided into the Wen School and the Wu School. The Wen School is responsible for academics, writing books, summarizing and inheriting the theories of the sages, and the Wu School deals with affairs in the world.

In addition to Xiakui and Liutang, the peasant family also has a position, Xiangnong, who is in charge of farming culture, Xiakui is in charge of the entire farmhouse, and Liutang is in charge of specific affairs of the farmhouse.
But because of the nature of the farming family, it can be said that 90.00% of the people are not suitable for learning, and since Xu Sheng and Xu Xing passed away decades ago, no one has been in the position of Xiangnong, even if someone has been in it. It's just a name, and has never participated in any theoretical debates.

As for why the Mohists and the peasants attacked Confucianism, it was very simple. Confucianism, Mohism, and the peasants did not deal with each other, even to the point of life and death. Confucianism and Mohism were simply natural enemies. Challenging the status of Confucianism, the result was beaten by Confucianism and fled, and the generations were directly separated. The two Liangzi are getting deeper and deeper.

As for the Confucianism and the farming family, it is because Xu Xing, the prime minister of the previous generation, fooled Mencius’s disciples into switching to the farming family. , so the contradiction is getting deeper and deeper.

After Fu Nian asked the contemporary Xiangnong, although Tian Guang was angry, he didn't say much, but a man behind Tian Guang was angry, and was about to stand up when he was pulled back by the person next to him. The man glanced at the side Looking at each other and shaking their heads, they could only hold back their anger. The two were Tian Meng, the head of the Nongjia Lieshan Hall, and Tian Hu, the head of the Chi You Hall.

For a while, the whole hall fell silent. This was a conflict between the Confucianism and the Mohist peasant family. The other sects were all interested in watching the excitement, and there was no need to offend others at this time. It is possible to strike up a conversation at this time Offend any of the three.

"I heard that Fu Nian of Little Sage Xian Zhuang is upright and calm, but now it seems that he is less eloquent." An old man in a khaki robe said as he walked into the hall from the gate.

Everyone's face became more playful when they saw the person coming. The real master of these debates came, the master of the famous family—Gongsun Long.

"Mr. Gongsun's absurd praise." Fu Nian stood up and bowed.

After Gongsun Long took his seat, everyone looked at Fu Nian and Gongsun Long, looking forward to whether the two would have a debate, and at the same time curious whether the Mo family and the farm family would help the famous family, even if they did. Not much, and there are very few people from the two families who can participate in the debate.

After Gongsun Long took his seat, the whole hall fell into a strange silence again. Compared with the silence of the hall, the gate of Linzi city was very lively at this time.

The news of the re-opening of debates at Jixia Academy has already spread across the Seven Kingdoms, and there is an endless stream of people watching the fun. In order to prevent problems at this time, the Qi State Court directly issued an order to kill anyone who dared to cause trouble in Jixia Academy. At the same time, the guards at the city gates were required to strictly examine those who entered the city.

Because of the strict censorship, the entrance gate was a bit crowded, but because of the management of the soldiers, there was no other sound at the gate except for the sound of horses and wheels rolling.Ziyou was waiting in the queue for inspection in a carriage, and when Ziyou was thinking about this debate, a sentence came into his ear.

"Ragged and unkempt, how do you know how to learn etiquette?"

Not only did Ziyou hear it, but the people around him also looked sideways. Ziyou looked at the source of the sound. If the other party only said the first two sentences, Ziyou would not care, but if the other party pointed at Xiaoshengxianzhuang and said, he was sure. The other party is talking about himself.

Because of the hands-on and heavy rain last night, the clothes were stained with mud and blood. Naturally, they were a bit messy, but they couldn't be called ragged.

Ziyou saw the person who spoke, a young man standing on a carriage, neatly dressed, wearing a Confucian crown, fair beard, looking at Ziyou with arrogance and contempt.

When the other party saw that Ziyou was looking at him, his face became even more proud.

"Closely dressed, wearing a monkey hat, judging people by their appearance and not knowing about Zhan Tai's Mieming?" Seeing the other party directly calling his name, Ziyou naturally would not be used to the other party, and directly responded with the matter of Confucius and Zhan Tai's Mieming.

ps: Judging people by their appearance, the lost son Yu, from "Historical Records of Zhongni's Disciples Biography" contains 77 disciples of Confucius.

These 77 people are all high-achieving students with names and surnames who have passed down their achievements to future generations.One of his disciples, Tantai Mieming, was named Ziyu.

Ziyu was 39 years younger than Confucius, and was about the same time as Zeng Shen, Zixia and others.Ziyu looks ugly.I wanted to stay with Confucius and help him run a school, but Confucius thought that Ziyu was not talented and his ability was limited.

After finishing his studies, Ziyu left Confucius to start his own school.Ziyu does not take shortcuts, seek connections, or do anything that violates the law when starting a business.Unless you are on official business, you will never interact with dignitaries.Later, Ziyu went to Jiangnan to run a school, and there were more than 300 disciples who followed Ziyu to Jiangnan.

Ziyu set the criteria for admission, graduation, and job recommendation, and acted strictly according to the criteria.The disciples he recommended to work in the princes' government were well received.Therefore, Ziyu's reputation spread throughout the vassal states.

After Confucius heard of Ziyu's good reputation, he reviewed his past views on Ziyu.I realized that in the past, I thought Ziyu was "short of talent" because I was influenced by Ziyu's ugly appearance, and judged people by appearance, but did not really understand Ziyu's talent and character.

It’s okay to use it directly here. After all, Ziyou is Xunzi’s apprentice, so it’s normal to know about it. I have to say that most of the stories about Confucius in “Xunzi” were compiled by Xunzi himself.
