Chapter 99: Huo Guang's Spring and Autumn Annals!Zhang San killed Li Si

Dong Zhongshu squinted his eyes, glanced at Sima Qian, and didn't care about his words.

How could the Ram theory be reduced to the lowest level because of a small controversy!
impossible!
It is absolutely impossible.

Sima Qian didn't know what Dong Gong was thinking. Seeing that the old man didn't speak, he persuaded him: "Lecturer, in this arena battle, four schools of the Spring and Autumn Five Schools came. Even the Zou and Jia families who were reduced to the last They’re all here, but I’m missing Ram Pie.”

"Han Zhi" has recorded.

The five biographies of the Spring and Autumn Equinox are called Zuo, Gongyang, Guliang, Zou, and Jia!

It's just that the latter two have been reduced to the last stream during the Han Dynasty.

and so.

In the last book and paper competition, Huo Guang didn't contact the so-called Wrinkle and Jia.

After all, the influence of Confucianism is what is needed to promote books and papers, and Zou and Jia do not have such so-called influence, so they have not been contacted.

But this debate is different.

What Your Majesty wants is that Confucianism will help the future prince grow up, so the debate is about fairness.

As for how fair it is?

simple!
Five biography comes, fair competition, whoever can debate to the end, who is the best theory faction.

When Dong Zhongshu heard what Sima Qian said, he didn't care about those two factions that had already been reduced to low-level theories. Instead, he frowned and asked, "What do you mean by ring battle?"

Sima Qian explained: "In the lecture hall, the ring battle is a method of debate. For example, you stand on the ring and put forward an argument in the legend of Gongyang, and the other four take turns to refute it. If you win four rounds, it is a battle." Victory."

"Because there are five schools, there are five rounds of debate in the arena, and each round changes to a school to put forward an argument."

"Persist for four rounds, or refute Fang Sheng, and win."

"After the five rounds are over, the school with the most wins will be the final winner. If the two are the same, a few will be eliminated, and those who have the same wins will continue to debate until the last one is contested."

"correct."

"Lecturer, this method of competition in the arena was suggested by your disciple Huo Guang!"

As soon as he heard the word "Huo Guang", the expression on Dong Zhongshu's face changed.

after all.

In Dong Zhongshu's eyes, Huo Guang has always been an unpleasant existence.

Hearing Sima Qian's mention now, he immediately said with a sullen face: "Master Zi, have you forgotten that this Zhuzi cheated on my Gongyang faction last time in the book paper competition?"

"Originally, it's good that you won the first place steadily."

"In the end, this Zhuzi said and acted on his own, and he still used the name of my Gongyang faction, which ruined my reputation as a Confucianist."

"This time."

"Maybe I'm going to use the name of my Gongyang faction to do something bad again!"

Talk about it.

Sima Qian was also full of resentment, if Huo Guang hadn't stepped in, the famous reward of one million would have been in his pocket.

To know!
At that time, he had already booked a banquet in Chang'anle in advance.

In the end, he lost the top prize, and had to go to his old father, Sima Tan, to ask for some money, and paid for Chang'an Le's drinks.

to this end.

He was also scolded by Sima Tan, who was then Taishi Ling.

But now is not the time to worry about this. Sima Qian straightened his expression and said: "The lecture, this time is not the other time. This debate in the arena is an opportunity for the theories of various schools to become official schools. My father revealed that this is what His Majesty meant. .”

"Official school?" After hearing these two words, even Dong Zhongshu was no longer calm.

What is official school!
That is the doctrine recognized by the officials, and it must be popular in the Han Dynasty.

But the problem is.

Even though Dong Zhongshu is already tempted at this moment, but he clearly rejected Huo Guang earlier, how can he participate in this debate now?

then.

Elder Dong had no choice but to say: "The problem is that I have already told your junior brother to give up this debate! Is it possible that I still have to beg him now?"

Dong Lao once explained Gongyang to Sima Qian, he can be regarded as his master, and now he is learning from Huo Guangmeng.

This is not a junior, what is it?
Sima Qian was shrewd and intelligent, and he knew what Dong Zhongshu meant when he heard what Dong Zhongshu said. He said flatly, "Don't worry too much about the lecture. The great man is based on loyalty and filial piety, and the teacher is like a father. If you want to participate, the younger brother will definitely not stop you. If you don't want to lose face, Zizhang is willing to speak with Huo Yilang on behalf of the lecture hall."

heard.

Dong Zhongshu sighed, and said: "Forget it, for the future development of the Gongyang School, the old man's face is nothing."

"Let's go, son-in-law"

"You take this old man to the arena to have a look!"

"."

In the Quantai Palace, His Majesty summoned three lords and nine ministers, more than a hundred officials, big and small, and several close ministers to accompany Liu Shi, the future prince of the Han Dynasty, to watch the debate between the five Confucian schools of thought.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted Dong Zhongshu's advice and dismissed Confucianism from all schools of thought.

The entire Han Dynasty.

Confucianism can be said to have developed to a peak scale.

Most of the officials in the imperial court have more or less connections with Confucianism.

As the person in charge of this matter, Huo Guang was naturally very busy.He hurried out of the palace gate just now, and hurried back again, standing by His Majesty's side.

The weather in July is very hot and dry.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Huo Guang, who was sweating from the corner of his forehead, and asked lightly, "What did Huo Yilang go to do just now, and he looked so in a hurry?"

Huo Guang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said: "Return to Your Majesty, I just went outside the palace gate to welcome Dong Gong in."

"previously."

"Dong Gong is not willing to participate in such a debate. I don't know what happened later, so I am willing to come again."

"Sima Qian, the son of Taishiling, just told me to bring Mr. Dong into the palace."

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked at Huo Guang, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment.

He then asked Huo Guang: "You have been listening to Dong Zhongshu explaining the theory of rams, what do you think of rams? I want to hear from you!"

Listen to what Huo Guang said?

Forehead.
Why are you talking!

Huo Guang was in a daze for a while, the rebellious words he said in front of Mr. Dong could not be narrated in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

After brewing for a while.

Then he opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the content of Gongyang theory is mixed. For example, the benefits, if the Confucian children of Gongyang learn from Gongyang, if the Huns invade, they will definitely support the Han Dynasty to send troops to punish them. The monarch also has the courage to fight against foreign enemies. , Everyone of our Han Dynasty people can straighten their backs."

"For example, disadvantages, a little aggressive, lack of strategy."

"It's like the theory of great revenge. The courtiers avenge the king's father, but the power of other countries is stronger than their own. How to avenge it? I haven't said it, just let revenge, and even revenge for nine generations!"

"It's like a reckless man fetching water in a bamboo basket, knowing how to fetch water, but never thinking about why the basket can't hold water."

"The theory of revenge, in fact, most of the theories support it. For example, the Guliang theory also supports this thesis, but it has an additional condition in support, that is, if the country is stronger than other countries, then revenge, if it is weaker than the enemy country ,Never mind."

"Comparing the two, although the teachings of the Ram Sect are more radical, I still prefer the Ram Sect."

After some eloquent talk.

Emperor Wu replied curiously: "Didn't Dong Zhongshu teach you about rams? When did you also read Guliang?"

"I'm ashamed. In fact, all Confucian disciples have to read the Spring and Autumn and Five Biographies. It's just that I'm usually lazy, so apart from Gongyang, I only read Guliang two or three times and Zuo Zhuan once." Huo Guang scratched his head in embarrassment.

The embarrassment is real.

Confucian disciples, no matter which school of thought they belong to, basically must read the Five Biography.

Familiar with rams, but not Guliang?
Like the frog at the bottom of the well, it knows a world the size of the mouth of the well in its eyes.

During the exchange between Huo Guang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the arena-like debate had already begun.

The dark little old man of the "Zuo Zhuan" school was discussing their views intensely with the leader of the theory of "Zou Shi Chun Qiu Zhuan".

Judging from the current situation, Zuo Zhuan's argument has the upper hand!
At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty watched the debate between the two on the field, but asked Huo Guang in private: "Since you have read Gu Liang, Gong Yang and Zuo Zhuan, what is the difference between the three?"

Huo Guang cupped his hands and said: "The Zuo Zhuan should have the biggest difference. It is mainly based on historical facts, and even added some major events that were not recorded in the "Spring and Autumn". However, the Guliang and Gongyang Zhuan are about subtle words and great meaning. The author's understanding to explain the meaning of Confucius."

"If you want to make the difference more detailed, you can use the example of Qi State's destruction of Ji State to explain the thesis of great revenge."

"The argument of the Gongyang faction is that Ji Guo slandered and killed Duke Ai of Qi, and Qi State's vendetta for nine generations will destroy Ji State."

"What the Guliang faction said is that when Ji Houda left his country, how could he still avenge the ninth generation?"

"The theory of Zuo Zhuan is that Qi State attacked Ji State in the name of Qi Ai Gong's death, Ji State was destroyed, and Ji Hou fled."

"That's right, it can be seen that you have put in a lot of effort." Hearing Huo Guang's words, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded, then turned to look at the prince Liu Shi on the other side, and asked, "I understand, my son."

however.

The young Liu Zheng was only seven or eight years old, and he shook his head ignorantly when he heard his father Liu Che's words.

This scene made Emperor Wu of the Han very displeased, and scolded: "How can you be so stupid? Huo Yilang can't understand such simple words, so how can he learn?"

He was trained by his father.

As the prince, Liu Zheng had no choice but to bow his head in shame.

At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Huo Guang again and asked, "Huo Yilang, do you have a simpler explanation?"

Huo Guang nodded immediately and said, "Yes!"

"Well, then please ask Huo Yilang to speak for the emperor." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Huo Guang with a gratified expression in his eyes.

like that.

As if an old father looked at Guangzong Yaozu's baby, and the prince Liu Shi was picked up on the mountain.

Although Huo Guang was a little ashamed, he still explained seriously to the prince Liu Ju: "Your Highness, if you don't understand the matter of Ji and Qi, I will use Zhang San and Li Si as examples."

"The legend of Gongyang is that Zhang San killed Li Si, and Li Si's descendants must take revenge on Zhang San or Zhang San's descendants."

"Gu Liang's biography is that Li Si was killed, and I didn't mention Zhang San. What kind of revenge do Li Si's descendants have?"

"Zuo Zhuan's statement is that on a certain day, a murder occurred in a certain place, and the gangster Zhang San killed Li Si for some reason."

Under these narrations, Prince Liu Ju immediately clapped his hands and said, "If you say that, then I understand."

Just understand!

Huo Guang looked at the prince Liu Shi, and felt relieved.

If he still doesn't understand, then Huo Guang has nothing to do.

After some conversation.

on the ring.

Dong Gong appeared on the stage and began to discuss with the dark-skinned little old man of the Zuo Chuan faction.

The arguments they put forward are not as simple as Huo Guang said, and most of them are complex and profound issues.

of course.

If Huo Guang were to describe their argument, it would be far-fetched nonsense.

Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Period, which clearly recorded what happened in various countries during the Spring and Autumn Period. It was unexpected that so many subjective truths would be pulled out by later generations.

It's like a famous book that has been over-interpreted.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty listened to the two arguing on the field, but couldn't bear to listen to the truth, so he asked Huo Guang again: "Huo Yilang thinks, who will win in the end of the five passes?"

Huo Guang smiled lightly and said, "Of course it's my teacher, Mr. Dong."

"Oh? Just because he is your teacher, so you think so?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che showed a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Huo Guang shook his head slightly, and said: "No, Your Majesty, I think Dong Guild will win, so I have some considerations."

"The biography of Jia's family and the biography of Zou's family are already low-end, and they are not enough to challenge Gongyang's biography. Zuo's biography is to describe the cause, process and result of events, without subjective meaning."

"Only the biography of Guliang can be compared with the biography of Gongyang, but the problem is"

Speaking of this, Huo Guang frowned slightly, as if he was a little unspeakable.

And Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was listening, how could he stop at this time.

immediately!

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, asked: "Why are you still hesitating when you are talking? If you have something to say, you don't need to worry about anything!"

then.

Huo Guang continued: "The minister will continue to talk."

"The Legend of Guliang and the Legend of Gongyang are both subtle and profound, and they have similar meanings in many places, so only Guliang can be compared."

"But the problem is that Qiu Jianggong, the great Confucian of the Guliang School, stutters a bit when he speaks. If he argues with my teacher Dong Gong, he will suffer from his stupidity."

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard it, he was even more happy.

Wait till later.

The great Confucian Xia Qiu Jianggong of the Guliang School came on the stage, and when he heard it, he found that he was indeed a bit stupid.

Emperor Wu of the Han immediately shook his head, and the imperceptible worry on his face disappeared, and he said, "This is not easy to speak, how can you argue with Dong Sheng? Hehe, Huo Yilang was right. According to my son's Confucianism Xi, it should be Dong Zhongshu!"

For the Gongyang School to be popular, it must be inseparable from those in power.

After all, some of the tough and domineering ideas in the Gongyang Theory are in line with the temper of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che.

If it is not in line with Emperor Wu's will.

Even if Dong Zhongshu wins, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will make him lose clearly.

however.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was enjoying himself, but Liu Shi, who was on the side, looked at Dong Zhongshu, who was undefeated in the debate, with a look of disgust in his eyes.

It's just that this look of disgust flashed by quickly, and no one noticed it, including Huo Guang.

After the arena debate is over.

Dong Gong won the Confucianism of all schools without any suspense, so he was left by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to hold a ceremony of apprenticeship for the prince Liu Shi.

The great Confucians of other schools left Quantai Palace sadly.

Like Mr. Xiaqiu Jiang, when he left the palace gate, he burst into tears and sighed, "It's over, the Guliang theory must... If you want to become a low-ranking man, I will be a sinner!"

Jiang Wanqiu, who came to pick up the grandpa, saw the old man like this, and immediately said: "Grandfather, did that Huo Guang steal and play tricks again, which made you lose? Hmph, I'll go to him and ask for an explanation!"

talking.

Jiang Wanqiu was about to walk towards Huo Guang who was talking with Sima Qian.

"Come back!" Xiaqiu Jianggong's face changed immediately when he heard it, and he scolded: "If you want to say anything, it's all my grandfather. I and I have suffered from tongue-in-cheek, otherwise how can we let that...then Dong Zhongshu beat me?" .”

"Oh."
