My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 578 Knocking Down the Altar (Please book all monthly tickets for reward!)
How could Liu Ji think of a way?

These people are all talking nonsense and talking nonsense.

So when he got to Liu Ji, he gave him four words.

"Prince, you also know that Liu Ji is a rough country man. I haven't read many books, and I don't like to read those shabby books. It's just that Liu Ji has always liked what the prince said last time in Shanglin Garden. ”

"The prince said that all true truths have the same meaning, and the truth must be the only one. For example, the case in front of the prince must be made of copper and square."

"But when it comes to Baijia's mouth, this copper case is no longer a copper case. But this copper case is just a square copper case."

"Liu Ji believes that it is impossible to explain clearly with Bai Jia Lun. Their theory is just to make the audience's brains more and more confused."

"Might as well, merge them into one. Merge hundreds of families into one. This will conform to the general trend of the world! Or, hundreds of families will destroy each other until the end. Whoever survives will be the winner."

Liu Ji didn't care at all about the fate and development of various schools of thought.

He thinks that everyone will like the things that are useful and will compete to grab them; the things that are useless will naturally be discarded.

"Prince, I think what everyone says from General Tian to Wei Wei Ji makes sense."

He gave the crowd a round of applause.

All the ministers bowed one after another and said, "Please give me the title, Prince."

Zhang Cang looked frightened after hearing this. This Cao Shen knew that he was not a good bird just by listening to his words.

"As for the title, it's rare that I'm so happy today, so I won't be embarrassed."

Meng Yi also glanced at Cao Shen with disgust.

Carefully appreciate the meaning of each sentence, which is also very consistent with the current situation.

"Don't be surprised if you come up with four sentences at the last minute."

Fusu looked at everyone's reactions, and they were all very interesting.

"Establish a mind for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living people, carry forward the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations."

I thought he was an unknown person from the countryside, but I didn't expect him to have such ability. Even Yao Jia, the high-ranking minister, was willing to bow down to him when he saw him.

"So my suggestion is that this gathering must be carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the generals and scribes today, but the gathering must not mention any names related to hundreds of schools."

When Meng Tian heard about this Cao Shen, he felt that he was so slick and worldly, taking credit for everyone's achievements and even lifting the prince to heaven. He didn't say anything bad at all, and all the good people were fooled by him.

Then he started laughing.

Just when everyone heard it, they felt their blood boiling all over their bodies.

Otherwise the prince would feel like he was being scolded.

The worst ones are also scholars.

Meng Yi also stared at Cao Shen and couldn't help but sigh. Even Zhao Gao had to bow down to this flattering person.

Of course, Liu Ji would definitely not say these words openly.

Because I know how to read and write, I look down on people who don't read much and bully those who can't read.

"Because of this, I believe that the results can only be achieved by using questions that have nothing to do with Baijia."

As a result, Cao Shen spoke slowly after everyone had despised him.

"If such a large event is not hosted well and there are some mistakes or omissions, it will be criticized by hundreds of schools of thought, causing scholars to criticize and alienate from morality."

"You all have talents in managing the world. It's not in vain that I gather you all together to discuss important matters. Just do it according to Cao Shuzi's method."

But it doesn’t necessarily mean that people who are uneducated and literate are better than those who have read all the books in the world.

"good!"

After sifting through the sifting, wouldn’t there be an answer?

Liu Ji listened and pulled his chin extremely long. It was not without reason that he had not liked playing with Cao Shen since he was a child.

Aren't all the schools of thought just to flaunt themselves, to appear noble, and to look down on others?

"Let the hundreds of families discuss the unification of the world, respect Qin's legalism, eliminate the dregs among the hundreds of families, and merge the hundreds of families. All things are beneficial to Qin, and what is beneficial to maintaining the stability of the world is also beneficial to the hundreds of families. "

"The literary talents of the monarchs are better than those of the ministers. How can they be compared to the emperor if they are despicable. Therefore, I ask the prince to give me a title."

It's just Liu Ji's simple remarks that everyone sneered at. They thought it was too rude.

"Great!"

The most stupid people in this world are nerds.

"So far, there are no less than a thousand scholars who have come to Linzi. There are one hundred and nineteen famous families. There are more than eighty aristocratic families who have come to Linzi."

"But the talents of the nobles and nobles, armed with the tools of Qingping and generals, are able to make decisions at the turn of the bell silently. This is a natural talent that is not something that people admire. The sound and meaning are far away, the diction is clear and the sentences are brilliant. "It's like flying to avoid falling stars, flying over mountains and crossing seas. Dragon Ji dare not chase him, but he can catch up with his horse."

After that came Cao Shen.

Even Liu Ji could give a clear solution. As a bastard, Cao Shen had no reason not to speak.

"Let's take these four sentences as the title and list them in front of the Jixia Academy. What do you think?"

Feng Jing listened at the door and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and even snorted.

"I thought that such a large-scale gathering of hundreds of schools would not be as lively as the Jixia Academy when it was first built during the Tianwu period of Duke Huan of Qi. I am afraid that there will never be such a grand scene again in the future."

Meng Tian immediately praised and said: "Prince, these four words are very wonderful!"

After Meng Yi heard this, his eyes were filled with stars, full of admiration for Fusu.

Of course it’s because Fusu said it well, and said it so well!
This sentence fully expresses that Fusu, a young college student from the 21st century, after traveling through history, was in a situation of great changes unseen in a thousand years, and spontaneously and consciously assumed the historical mission, shouldered the moral responsibility, and shouldered the responsibility for the livelihood of the people. , to heaven and earth, to future generations, the mission of inheriting the ancestral culture is here!
Even a rough guy like Liu Ji found these words enlightening.

He murmured to himself again and again, 'Establish a mind for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge of the saints, and create peace for all generations.'

The prince was rushing to speak out his words. I also think so, but I am uneducated. Although I think so in my heart, I can't express it.

Thinking like this, Liu Ji felt that there were also very powerful scholars, such as the prince.

Feng Jing was stunned and looked over again and again.

Lord, Lord, do you know that I, Feng Jing, have never served anyone except my father and the king in my life? Prince, you are the third one!
All the ministers were affected by Fusu's words, and their eyes lit up.

As for Zhang Cang, after hearing this, he admired Fusu even more!

Everyone praised Fusu one after another. They kept praising Fusu. They also told Fusu that they also had such ambitions.

Fusu smiled heartily: Haha, it is good to have ambitions, but you are far behind me.

But in the face of everyone's praise, Fusu was very calm on the surface.

"Since you all agree with me, these four sentences are good, but they are indeed a bit long. Let's just make this the title." Fusu said very embarrassedly.

"If there is a better one in the future, you don't have to worry about hurting my face by speaking out. Feel free to mention it when the time comes."

Everyone shook their heads.

"Prince, no one can ask better questions than you."

"That's it." The matter was settled.

Fusu was still a little excited when he thought that his name would be attached to the four sentences about Hengqu written by Zhang Zai.

There is no such thing as stealing when it comes to scholars.

Now he is crossing time and space, taking Zhang Zai's four sentences of Hengqu, to preach to future generations and establish a foundation and law for the traditional study of mind, body, and life.

Preserving the classics of various schools of thought, eradicating the tampering and misinterpretation of the classics by traitorous and ambitious people, leaving the true classics for future generations, and realizing the great unification of thought, will contribute to the great events of the world.

The matter has been decided in a pleasant atmosphere, and the next step is to implement it.

We have been waiting for today to bring this thorny Liu Ji here.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Cang actually chased after him.

With these two trump cards, Fusu believed that conquering Baijia this time was already half successful.

"This gathering of hundreds of families will be hosted by Zhang Cang."

Zhang Cang thought he had heard wrongly, "Prince, I am so young and obviously the junior of many uncles and uncles. How can I preside over such an important event as a gathering of hundreds of families?"

"Thirty-five, you're already thirty-five years old, so you're not too young." Fusu said ruthlessly. "I chose you because you are a disciple of Xun Qing, a Confucian scholar. You are also the fifth official of our Qin State. You have made countless contributions to our Qin State. It is most suitable for you to preside over it."

"After all, Confucianism values ​​etiquette, so it is up to you to arrange it. Meng Yi, the great minister, will assist you. If the ministers argue, you can send Cao Shen, Liu Ji, and Guan Fu to argue with the ministers."

Liu Ji was startled, and he immediately jumped out, "Prince, shall I debate with the Confucian scholars?"

"It's a debate with hundreds of families."

There are hundreds of schools of thought, and Confucianism accounts for eight of them, accounting for half of the people. Is there any difference between debating and concentrating with hundreds of schools of thought and Confucianism? Liu Ji did not dare to reply to Fusu with these words, but just declined, "But Liu Ji is just a rough man. He doesn't know a few Chinese characters. How can he argue with ministers of hundreds of schools? I'm afraid that after he goes out, he will lose the crown prince." face."

Liu Ji was so anxious that sweat broke out on his head.

Fusu looked even happier.

Guan Fu saw Liu Ji so flustered. He was still watching the show. As he watched, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He looked at Shaoping and asked in a low voice, "Concubine, did the Lord Cai not call me by my name just now? Did I hear you correctly?"

"No. The prince called your name, Wei Shu. Please come forward and accept the prince's order." Cao Shen, who had always been taciturn, suddenly said in a loud voice.

Guanfu panicked immediately. He didn't understand debate at all.

"Jun Hou, just tell me where Guan Fu has done something wrong. Why do you need to embarrass me so much?"

Guan Fu almost burst into tears.

Fusu ignored him.

Feng Jing has followed the prince for so long, and this is the first time he has seen so much fun in one day. I couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

"Feng Jing—you also go with them."

Feng Jing suddenly turned pale.

"Prince, please forgive me. I just did it because..."

"No need to say more. Just you guys are going to debate with the gentlemen. This is the result I have thought about for a long time. Zhang Cang, as the person presiding over the conference, do you have any objections?" Fusu asked with a dark face.

Zhang Cang looked at Fusu, and then at the warriors beside him, as well as the famous Qin Dynasty's first remonstrator Meng Yi. This meeting was clearly destined to be messed up!

"If you don't speak, there is nothing left. That's it for today."

"Prince—Prince" Zhang Cang chased after him and threw himself in front of Fusu, "Dare you ask, Prince, just now?"

Fu Su Surong asked, "What happened today can be said as a joke?"

Only then did Zhang Cang give way.

Fusu looked at Meng Tian who looked lonely and said with a smile, "General Meng, come play chess with me."

Meng Tian felt incredible, but still went along.

Everyone stayed on the ground and looked at each other.

They looked at each other indoors, and for the first time they felt that each other's faces looked so friendly.

Because they all have the same expression. Want to cry but no tears.

"How can we debate? I'm afraid we will ruin the place."

Feng Jing didn't expect that such a big thing would happen just because he smiled.

But for such a big thing, the prince dares to say that it is definitely not a joke!

Feng Jing quickly cheered up and asked Zhang Cang, "Does the fifth doctor know anyone who is good at debating?"

A group of people gathered around and looked at Zhang Cang.

Meng Yi found it boring. He understood Han Fei's studies, who could argue with him?

Zhang Cang frowned, and after a long time, he just shook his head.

Everyone sighed helplessly and turned their backs!

"But you all should know Mencius, right?"

Liu Ji smiled and said, "Among the hundreds of schools of thought, the only one I like is Mencius."

"Then you should also know that Mencius is very good at debating. Mencius has a magic weapon for debating that can be used by all the princes."

"What?" Guan Fu jumped up with his sword in hand.

"Gongsun Chou once asked Mencius: "May I ask Master if he is evil? "

"Mencius said: "I know words, and I am good at cultivating my awe-inspiring spirit. "

"Gongsun Chou asked Mencius, "May I ask what the awe-inspiring spirit is? "

"Mencius told Gongsun Chou that the aura of greatness is indescribable."

"Mencius said that the aura of awe-inspiringness is formed by the long-term accumulation of justice in the heart, and cannot be obtained through accidental acts of justice. If there is something you cannot feel at ease with what you do, then the aura of awe-inspiringness will fail."

After hearing this explanation, Liu Ji naturally liked Mencius even more.

From that day on, Guan Fu, who never liked reading, began to recite Mencius's explanations of Haoran's righteousness day and night, hoping that after the death of Mencius, there would be spirits underground who could bless him with his Haoran righteousness.

But Feng Jing felt that the prince must have some ulterior motives.

Although Liu Ji is a country man and illiterate, this is not a big deal. Among the generals of the Qin State, everyone relies on military merit, not on who is educated.

Although there are many people with high titles, they don't know as many words as Liu Ji, the youngest son of a landlord's family.

Liu Ji, Guan Fu, and himself are all generals.

Feng Jing was thinking about it, and when he saw the halberd in his hand, he suddenly understood something.

He happily went back to guard the door.

Meng Yi also guessed a thing or two. He looked at Feng Jing who walked away confidently, with an inexplicable appreciation in his eyes.

This Feng Jing is so interesting!

But Cao Shen is different. It's not that he doesn't know how to debate. The most important thing he did when following Xiao He was to learn from Xiao He's strengths, such as reading. The second is not to argue.

So Cao Shen doesn't like to argue with others. The thing he hates most is arguing with others and making him blush. Cao Shen's life motto is that harmony is the most important thing.

As a famous non-stick pan in the future history of Great Qin, when he was entrusted with this important task by Fusu, he was naturally trembling. This was worse than letting him die.

Liu Ji was also hesitant, but after thinking for a while, he patted a strong man of Qin on the shoulder and said, "Don't panic, just sharpen the sword and it will be fine."

But Guan Fu couldn't listen to Liu Ji's words at all.

Guan Fu has been influenced by the debates between Fusu and Han Feizi since he was a child. The most important thing is that Fusu and Han Feizi taught him not the methods and techniques of debate, but the meaning of debate itself, which is to explore the truth, which is very sacred. one thing.

A real debate is when two people sit down calmly and explain the truth together.

Guan Fu, who had experienced the influence of such an environment, had the supreme awe of debate in his heart, and he was naturally very humble to re-learn Han Feizi's teachings.

In the dead of night, Guan Fu carefully held Han Feizi's writings as if he were holding his newborn son, and carefully memorized each word.

If you miss a word, it will be an insult to the prince's master!

It's just that Meng Tian, ​​who was playing chess with Fusu in the Nuan Pavilion, was always absent-minded.

"Prince, letting these people go and debate with the famous scholars is like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth. I'm afraid things will not go according to the prince's wishes. Although the last general only presides over the military affairs of Qi County, I would rather override the prince. If the prince punishes his authority, he must think twice before acting."

Fusu looked at Meng Tian and asked very calmly, "If the debate is really so important, the people I should bring with me this time are Yao Jia, Dun Ruo, Li Si, Mao Jiao and other ministers. But this time there is no one among them. Come alone."

"Why do you think that is?"

Fusu continued to make moves.

"The prince doesn't care about debate at all..."

"You were right this time."

In the dark and confused hall, the two of them looked at each other.

"I know that this is a debate that Qin will definitely win. But Prince, do you think that by relying on authority to pressure those scholars, the final result can convince the public?"

Fusu asked leisurely, "Then if the various schools of thought are still held up on the altar, and the Legalists of our Qin State are used to argue with the elites of these famous families, then the various schools of thought will be able to compete again." What do you think? Who will decide whether to win or lose?”

Meng Tian looked at the chess pieces, thought hard for a long time, and made several chess moves absentmindedly.

Suddenly he figured something out.

"The prince's purpose is to use this incident to eliminate the supreme position of the Baijia in the minds of the public. If the princes and the princes are still held in a high position and treated with courtesy, I am afraid that the princes and the aristocratic families will... I compete with you, the prince, for the authority of the scholars to interpret the classics."

"Of course! Do you really think that the various schools of thought came to Linzi to participate in this Jixia Academy for the benefit of the people of the world?"

Under Fusu's guidance, Meng Tian finally shattered his illusions about various schools of thought.

"The aristocratic family is just doing it for themselves, to preserve their own status. Even if there is little hope, they must fight for the right to interpret the classics."

But Meng Tian couldn't help but worry.

"But can such a big thing be accomplished with Guan Fu, Feng Jing, Liu Ji, and Meng Yi?" Meng Tian felt incredible.
