The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 218 Death of Kong Anguo

On the altar of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Kong Anguo thought about it for a moment, and related the article to the topic of learning: "Isn't it also true to learn and practice it from time to time? Isn't it a pleasure to have friends from afar? Isn't it a gentleman if someone doesn't know and is not stunned?"

Kong Anguo emphasized the last sentence. He had no idea what happened today, but he was not angry, which is the behavior of a gentleman.

Wei Ning retorted and sneered: "It is rare for a man to be filial to his younger brother, but like to offend his superiors. It is rare that he is not fond of offending his superiors, but is fond of causing trouble. A gentleman is committed to his roots, and the Tao is born from his foundation. Being filial to his younger brothers is the foundation of benevolence." "

"The foundation of benevolence lies in being filial to parents and obeying elders."

"My mother is being humiliated by your Confucian disciples. You are a descendant of the Confucian family. You say that you are a gentleman. Where is your benevolence?"

"Criticizing other people's parents for being competitive is not a sign of benevolence. Isn't that what you call a gentleman's behavior?"

"Smart words and charming colors are rare and benevolent."

Kong Anguo was silent for a moment, thinking in his mind, and quickly gave an answer: "A gentleman has nothing to fight for, and he will definitely shoot! He bows and gives way to rise, and comes down to drink. He is a gentleman in fighting."

He started from the Eight Hundred Chapter and debated the principle of whether gentlemen should fight or not fight. Gentlemen's fight depends on etiquette.

"joke!"

Wei Ning raised his voice and said: "A gentleman does not strive for fame in one life, but strives for achievements in a hundred generations, which can extend the benefits of eternity."

"Since you don't argue, why are you so aggressive, even asking me to argue with you about Confucianism at the expense of my mother? You are arguing in your own right. Is this what you call a gentleman?"

"Are you still a gentleman of the Kong family?"

Under the high platform of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the people were confused.

On the high platform, Dong Zhongshu closed his eyes slightly.

He never thought that Weining would have such a profound knowledge reserve.

Kong Anguo was proficient in the Analects of Confucius and used the Analects to argue benevolence and gentleman with Wei Ning. Wei Ning also used the Analects to refute, and every allusion and question was just right.

He is using the Analects itself to defeat Kong Anguo!

"You just said that a gentleman can fight, as long as he is polite."

"Yong is also benevolent but not sycophantic." Confucius said: "How can I use sycophancy? I can use my mouth to control people. I hate them many times and don't know their benevolence. How can I use sycophants?"

"Why is it said in the Public Security Bureau, 'Arguing with others by using sharp teeth often makes others hate me. I don't know if such a person is benevolent, but why should he be eloquent?'"

Kong Anguo's breathing became a little rapid. Earlier he said that a gentleman can argue, but then Wei Ning refuted him with the words in "Gong Zhi Chang" that Confucius hates arguing.

This is asking him why the words in the Analects are inconsistent?
Kong Anguo really didn't expect that he was proficient in the Analects of Confucius, and the other party was more proficient in the Analects of Confucius than he was. He could easily pick out the sentences from the Analects of Confucius for debate. This was enough to show that the other party had thoroughly understood the Analects of Confucius at this age and could find whatever he wanted at any time. sentences to argue.

He is using something that your Kong family is proud of to defeat you.

call.

Dong Zhongshu breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Wei Ning blankly, and couldn't help but said: "He hides everything, how could he be like this?"

"When did he learn so much knowledge?"

Liu Huan didn't look too good, and his face twitched slightly. He tried to put himself into the role of Weining, but he couldn't answer.

You must know that he and Shi Qing have studied too many Confucian classics, but if they ask him to argue today, they will not be able to argue!

On the tower of Weiyang Palace, there were constant eunuchs repeating to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty the contents of the debate at the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty squinted his eyes and looked complicated.

Wei Ning stared at Kong Anguo and said: "Those who are capable without learning are good talents; those who know without worrying are good friends."

"Human beings have no concept of good and evil. Good and evil arise from mixed minds. The absence of good and evil is the body of the heart. The existence of good and evil is the movement of the mind. Knowing good and evil is conscience. Doing good and eliminating evil is the pursuit of things."

Everyone was shocked. Dong Zhongshu was the first to take a breath and said in horror: "This statement! It can start a sect!"

Dongfang Shuo, Sang Hongyang and other civil servants were all dumbfounded, extremely shocked, and at a loss what to do.

Dong Zhongshu said that Wei Ning could start a sect based on this statement, which was not an exaggeration at all!
Nature is inherently good and nature is inherently evil, which has always been the focus of Confucian debate. No one accepts the opinions of the two sides. When Wei Ning said this, it really taught everyone a good lesson in Confucianism!
“An evil thought is an evil deed.”

"You are a descendant of Confucianism. When you criticized my mother's personal ethics, did you fulfill all the virtues that Confucians should do?"

"If you have an evil thought, you should still say that you are an evil Confucian."

As soon as he said this, Kong Anguo shouted loudly: "You are so presumptuous!"

"How can you humiliate my Confucius family!"

Kong Anguo stared at Weining in horror. He was unable to speak anymore. He had prepared many debate guidelines. There were many more in the Analects, such as governing the country and the debate between loyalty and treachery, all prepared for Weining.

But when Wei Ning summarized the theory of good and evil in nature, he was defeated, completely defeated!
This does not need to be judged by others. Kong Anguo has a strong balance in his heart. If he loses, he loses. There is no way to refute. No matter how prepared he is, he can only surrender after others say this.

But he is obviously the orthodox descendant of the Kong family!How could he be defeated by an outsider!
Kong Anguo's chest kept rising and falling, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and his face turned red.

Wei Ning looked at Sima Tan and said, "You record the annals of history without leaving a word behind!"

Sima Tan had forgotten to write just now. When he heard Weining's words, he quickly picked up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Wei Ning stared at Kong Anguo again and shouted aggressively: "A gentleman keeps his promise, and a promise is worth a thousand gold!"

"Say!"

Kong Anguo's chest rose and fell faster and faster, and his face turned pale.

He looked around at the people under the high platform, at the white-robed Confucian disciples behind him, and at the many bureaucrats on his left and right, and felt dizzy and dizzy.

His body was shaking violently.

He knew clearly that he had been tricked, but now he had to swallow the consequences in his mouth.

He was unwilling to do so and did not dare to bring shame to his family.

Hundreds of schools of thought, you just finished singing and I came on stage. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, they continued to argue. It was not until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Confucianism was finally determined to be the policy of governing the country.He could not let Confucianism withdraw from the stage of history, and he could not let his ancestors be humiliated.

He is the proud Queen of Confucius in Shandong.

He never thought that this trip to Chang'an would have such an outcome. Dong Zhongshu once advised him not to provoke Weining.

At first, Kong Anguo thought that he was just relying on the huge Wei family. He was wrong, very wrong!
It's not that he is proud because of the Wei family, but that the Wei family is proud of having this son!
But now it's too late to regret.

He needs to bear all the consequences alone. Even though he was plotted and even though he did not insult Wei Pingjun, it can no longer be explained.

He had criticized Wei Pingjun's personal ethics, and there was no way to argue with that.

He looked around with blank eyes. He wanted to find out who was setting him up. He even thought that someone from the Wei family was directing and acting on his own, but that was impossible!
Wei Ning respected her mother so much, how could she use her mother's reputation to fight back against herself.

There must be others, there must be treacherous people stirring up this storm!

Whoohoo!
Kong Anguo's breathing became more and more rapid, and finally he shouted at the top of his lungs: "My fault!"

"I criticize your mother's personal ethics, which is really sinful!"

As soon as these words came out, the people under the high platform of Confucius Temple exclaimed in surprise.

The people of Chang'an have heard too many unsavory remarks recently, all about Lord Wei Ping.

At this moment they understood that it was the Kong family who was doing such evil things.

Kong Anguo looked at the people whispering to each other, looking at the unkind and contemptuous expressions, and felt dizzy and dizzy.

At this moment, Liu Huan came out and persuaded Weining: "Marquis of Zhenbei, why are you so hard on me?"

"Ziguo is a country after Confucius. Knowing your mistakes can make a lot of improvements. You should be tolerant. You have gone too far."

Wei Ning said angrily: "Who asked you to come out and become a saint? Go back!"

His eyes were red, exuding a strong murderous aura, and he stared at Liu Huan.

Liu Huan shrank his neck. He had never seen such strong murderous intent before. He wanted to say a few more words, but he suddenly found that the imperial guards and generals around him were all Li Ju, Gongsun Ao, Zhao Cigong and others. These people were all direct descendants of Wei Qing. .

If Wei Ning really wanted to kill him, who would stop him?

Liu Huan was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word and silently returned to the train.

Wei Ning looked at Sima Tan and said word for word: "Kong Anguo, the eleventh grandson of Confucius, has no gentleman's virtues and no tolerance for others. He deceives his teachers and destroys his ancestors, betrays Confucius, insults the saints, and scatters Rumors, bad words and shameless things..."

Every sentence is recorded in history.

Kong Anguo said excitedly: "No! Don't do this!"

"I am not a member of Confucius, and I am not a grandson of Confucius. Don't insult my ancestors!"

Tears kept falling from his eyes, crying like a helpless child.

"Everything is my own fault and has nothing to do with Confucius."

"Weining, Lord Wei, Marquis of Zhenbei, this personal grudge between me and you should not involve the family or bring shame to the family."

"Have mercy, have mercy!"

Bang bang bang!
Kong Anguo knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Weining.

Wei Ning turned a blind eye and asked Sima Tan, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Why did you stop writing?"

"Give me all the records in history!"

I want you to be whipped for thousands of years even after you die. I want everyone in the world to know that you are a narrow-minded Confucian and a teacher for all eternity, bullshit!

I will let your reputation be ruined from today on!
Kong Anguo: "Weining! Weining!"

"General Wei, please spare others when you have to."

"Your Majesty! I, I..."

Kong Anguo was at a loss. Looking at the indifferent eyes around him, he knew that no one would speak for him.

The disciples behind him shouted: "Teacher!"

"I'm not your teacher!"

"Don't call me, I'm a villain! Go back to Shandong and expel me from the family tree!"

Kong Anguo shouted hysterically and hurriedly walked to Weining: "I was taken advantage of."

"I know I can't quell your anger. I did use your mother's personal ethics to make a fuss, forcing you to argue with me about Confucianism and stand up for Master Shi."

"It's my fault to be competitive, but I have never said anything so vicious as a villain."

"I won't argue. I can't argue. The Confucius family is not so vicious. Please show mercy to Mr. Wei Marquis. Don't embarrass my Confucius family. Don't embarrass them."

He spoke quickly and in a low voice. Only Wei Ning could hear what he was saying.

"I shouldn't provoke you. Dong Zhongshu advised me. I have indeed insulted my master, but the Kong family would never dare to do such a vicious thing."

"My mistake, I'm sorry!"

After saying this, he bowed down to salute Weining, and then rushed toward the high platform with quick steps.

Wei Ning was stunned for a moment and stretched out his hand to grab something, but it was too late.

Kong Anguo fell from the high platform. A moment later, a huge noise was heard, and his body was twisted on the ground.
