A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 401: A cynic who defends righteousness but regrets not being able to enter the vast book

Regarding Zhuge Liang's straightforward words, the scholar who just spoke for Cao Cao disagreed: "Kong Ming can't make such nonsense. After all, Cao Sikong is one of the three princes of the imperial court and an important minister of the emperor. Even if Sikong's soldiers act recklessly, but They are all just in Xuzhou.

Moreover, all of this happened because the late Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian first robbed Cao Sikong's father and brother. Everyone also knows that the enemy who killed his father is on the opposite side, and he cannot kill the enemy with his own hands. This is for a filial son. It is a great compassion to say.

It is understandable that he gave the order to kill on impulse. Besides, since ancient times, strong men have not limited themselves to small things. As long as they can end this troubled times and restore the Han Dynasty, what does this small stain mean? "

Zhuge Liang looked at his classmate who shamelessly treated the lives of hundreds of thousands of people as nothing more than trivial matters. He had only returned to Longzhong for a few months, how could he become such a person?

Zhuge Liang said to the classmate: "I open my mouth and shut my mouth just for the sake of the great man and the country, but what I do is even more detestable than Thief Dong. Isn't he the biggest hypocrite in the world?"
If all the wise masters in the world were people like Cao Cao, then I, Zhuge Kongming, would not dare to serve this wise master. Even if you say that Cao Cao massacred the people of Xuzhou, Tao Qian was at fault first.

Then let me ask you, how did Tao Qian’s mistake affect the people of Xuzhou? There is no reason in the world to involve others because of personal hatred. I don’t know how many benefits Cao Cao has given you to allow you to cover up for him like this."

After speaking, Zhuge Liang flicked his sleeves to him, covered his face with the feather fan in his hand, and said sternly: "I have never seen such a shameless person like you, and I am ashamed to be associated with him."

"You, Zhuge Liang, you are so rude!" The man was so insulted by Zhuge Liang that he jumped up angrily and pointed at Zhuge Liang. He was so angry that he couldn't speak. He even fainted for a while.

"Ziai! Ziai!" The classmates next to him immediately surrounded him, helped the man up, pinched him, and patted him on the back.

After a while, Cao Cao's close disciple named Ziai finally woke up. At this time, a scholar on the side sighed to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, you have passed, we are all classmates, why do you say such hurtful words."

Zhuge Liang turned his head to the side and ignored the man. Zi Ai was helped up by others and pointed at Zhuge Liang with a trembling finger: "Zhuge Kongming, you are so rude and completely disregard the friendship of classmates. Isn't it going to make people outside say that all of Mr.'s disciples are rude?" only."

Zhuge Liang did not speak. Xu Shu stood up and said: "Don't pull the tiger's skin here. People like you who don't distinguish between black and white, don't know good and evil, help the tyrants to do harm, and are the vanguard of thieves are even more evil than Cao thieves."

Everyone gets it and kills it. Compared with Lu Zhengmao, it is nothing more than this. Brother Kong Ming hates evil so much that he naturally can't bear to see you as the mouthpiece of a thief. Being suppressed by righteousness, not only does he not think about repentance, but he slanders the teacher's family name and is very calculated. If I were you, I would kill myself with a sword a long time ago to show righteousness. . "

"You, you, you..." Ziai was so angry that she trembled, and then fainted very simply.

The classmates on the side were all people who could enter Shuijingzhuang. Naturally, they were not ordinary people. They knew that Zi Ai was pretending to be faint. They all looked at each other in confusion. Only one classmate who usually had a good relationship with Zi Ai stepped forward to help him up. , and then slowly helped him out.

Xu Shu snorted coldly when he saw this, but didn't say anything anymore. Kong Ming said it was over, and brushed off his clothes, with a calm face, like an outsider.

At this time, Sima Hui walked in slowly and sat down on his own. The scholars present, including Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, immediately stood up and saluted respectfully: "Teacher!"

Sima Hui nodded slightly, and then the disciples sat on their desks. Regarding Zhuge Liang's arrival, Sima Hui made no special move, nor did he ask about the two missing people in the front row, as if he didn't pay attention to anything.

He said to the disciples on his seat: "Today I will talk to you about "The Chronicles of Xiang Yu", one of the chapters of "Historical Records" written by Sima Qianzhi.

"The Chronicles of Xiang Yu" says: "The person with the title of Xiang Yu is also a person with the courtesy name Yu." When I first started, I was twenty-four years old. Ji's father, Xiang Liang, was the Chu general Xiang Yan, who was killed by the Qin general Wang Jian. The Xiang family was a general of Chu for generations and was granted the title of Xiang, hence the surname Xiang. ···'

Sima Qian said: "I heard that Shun's eyes probably had two pupils, and I also heard that Xiang Yu also had two pupils." Is Xiang Yu a descendant of Shun? Why did it rise so quickly?

When the Qin Dynasty was politically corrupt, Chen She was the first to attack, and countless heroes began to compete with each other. However, Xiang Yu had no basis to rely on, so he took advantage of the situation and started among the people. In three years, he led five armies of princes to destroy the Qin Dynasty, divided the world, created kings and princes, and established his own government, and he was called "Overlord".

Although he did not always maintain his position, there has never been anything like this in recent times. When until Xiang Yu gave up Guanzhong, missed the Chu land, exiled Yi Emperor and made himself king, complained that the princes betrayed him, it was already difficult to control the situation.

Is this because he is not brave enough? Or do the people of the world not respect him enough? I saw in Bai's collection of books that he not only boasted about his achievements and acted out his own selfish wisdom, but also did not follow the example of the ancients and governed the world with benevolence.

He thought that to establish the overlord's cause, he only needed to use force to run the world, so the people abandoned him one after another and surrendered to Gaozu. Therefore, he lost his own country and died in Dongcheng in just five years.

But not only is he not yet enlightened, but he also does not condemn himself, which is very wrong. At the Wujiang River, he actually used the excuse "God destroyed me, it was not my fault for fighting with soldiers" to escape from his rough treatment of the people. Isn't this ridiculous! '

Let’s talk about the chapters of "Historical Records" and "The Family of King Bai Weiwen". I heard that Sima Qian got permission from Bai Gong when he was compiling "Historical Records". He entered Bai's Hanhai Book Collection Valley and looked through the Bai family's collection since the Zhou Dynasty. Classics of all ages.

Therefore, although since the Pre-Han Dynasty, Sima Qian's conclusion on Emperor Wu has always been criticized by scholars, who believed that he was writing a private history and completely lacked the fairness of a historian, and relegated it to a miscellaneous book. However, I think that although the chapters since the Han Dynasty are biased, the records before the Han Dynasty are based on the Bai family's collection. Compared with other historical books, they are the most fair and appropriate, and they can still be used by all students to learn and explore.

It is a pity that since the time of Guangwu, Bai's Vast Sea Library has been lost in history and has to be known to everyone. No one has the honor to go and have a look. I have to envy Sima Qian's reputation and become the last person to browse Bai's Vast Sea Library. Valley people. "

Sima Hui was envious and jealous of Sima Qian's ability to enter the Bai family's treasure house, the vast collection of books, and read all the ancient and modern classics and manuscripts. Every time he saw Sima Qian's slightly proud words in the history books:

"For the purpose of writing history, I asked to see Bai Gong, so I got permission. I went in blindfolded. The treasury was shaped like a valley, surrounded by cliffs. During this period, the fragrance of books filled my nostrils, and the collection of books was like smoke and clouds in the vast sea.

The bamboo slips are sun-dried on the stone, and the cloth is hung on the wood. The ancient Shangshu, Zhou Rites, and Qin laws can be seen everywhere. The personal letters of Confucius and Mencius are endless, and you can read them endlessly. It is like being in a honey sea of ​​books.

There were book girls and maids coming and going, either turning over bamboo books to dry, or arranging bamboo slips. There was the faint sound of reading, and there was no wet noise. It lasted for three months, and I forgot all about food and sleep. When I came out, I still missed it. Writing now is like a beautiful dream, with endless aftertaste. "

Sima Hui wished he could enter instead of Sima Qian, even if he died in it, he still got his wish.

Since Sima Qian, any scholar who wanted to enter Bai's Book Collection Valley was dismissed by Bai Gong on the grounds that the route was lost. Since then, Bai's Book Collection Valley has been called the Hanhai Book Collection Valley by scholars, and has been praised as a wonder and a cultural treasure in ancient and modern times.

Realizing that he was thinking too far, Sima Hui coughed lightly, drew the attention of the students in the school back, and then continued:
"The article "The Family of King Baiweiwen" begins with Bai Wuzizhuang, ends with the creation of the Bai clan, and ends with King Baiweiwen becoming king. It also briefly mentions the events that took place a hundred years before the destruction of the ancient Bai Kingdom.

It can be seen from this that the reason why the ancient Bai Kingdom has stood for many years and became the last country to be destroyed among the Six Kingdoms is not only the dangerous terrain of Taihang, but I think there is also the reason why the ancient kings of the ancient Bai Kingdom paid more attention to the people's support.

Mencius said: "The people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the most important." Therefore, the people of Qiu became the emperor, the emperor became the princes, and the princes became officials.

If the princes threaten the country, they will change their positions. After the sacrifice is completed, the rice is abundant and clean, and the sacrifice is timely, but if there is a drought and water overflows, it will be replaced by the state. '

It can be said that Mencius has exhausted the essence of "Bai Zhuan". Moreover, it can also be seen from the "Biography of Bai Wei" which is in the same line as "The Family of King Bai Weiwen", why Marquis Xiuwu abandoned his title as King of Handan and his identity as Xiang Yu's best friend, and joined the Emperor Gaozu.

It was all because of Xiang Yu's massacre in the south of Xin'an City and his torching in Xianyang City that he had already lost the hearts of the people in the world.

The Bai family, who represented the people's hearts, also abandoned Xiang Yu. After the feudal princes were enfeoffed, they never cooperated with him again. Instead, they went on a blind date with Gaozu and killed Xiang Yu together. In the end, they even gave up their royal title and only wanted to unify the Xia. It can be called righteousness.

To sum up, it can be seen that the importance of the people's hearts in this world is not even strong enough to resist it. But looking at the world today, what is the difference between Qin losing its deer?

However, I am a person who is obsessed with mountains, rivers and pastoral fields, so I will not be able to differentiate with other living beings. Whether this is correct or not is left to the living beings to decide for themselves. Well, this lesson is complete, and all living beings can go home on their own. "

"Congratulations, teacher!"

After teaching, Sima Hui walked out of the room slowly with square steps, leaving only a group of scholars pondering hard on the words Sima Hui left before.

"Kong Ming, what do you think of what the teacher said?" Xu Shu covered his head, feeling itchy, and asked Zhuge Liang, who was sitting next to him.

Zhuge Liang took out the feather fan he had hidden earlier from under his clothes, and pretended to shake the feather fan loudly:

"This is the homework the teacher left for you. You can think about it yourself. I'm going back. I still have a lot of things to do at home? I promised a farmer down the mountain that the farm tools haven't been finished yet."

After saying that, he waved his fan and left. Regardless of Xu Shu's angry expression, he subconsciously wanted to get the sword in his waist, but he didn't touch it. It turned out that it was for listening to the lecture, and it was left by the concierge outside the door. .

He could only say bitterly: "Sooner or later I will make a feather fan, and I will use colorful pheasant feathers instead of your goose feathers." Then he followed Zhuge Liang's back, and they were going down the mountain together.

Although Sima Hui taught in the mountains, he did not teach every day, but only taught one class every few days. Therefore, these scholars would arrive on the day of the class, and the rest of the time was left to their own devices.
