Chapter 598 is a child after all (23)

There is one more tonight!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Since Dayu built Jiuding, Kyushu was established.

Chinese people have always believed that they are in the center of the world, and outside of Kyushu, they are all wild lands.

"The dialect of Yuanzhi is 'virtue'. It can be seen that 600 years ago, in the ancient country of Greece, thousands of miles away, someone said that there are two kinds of virtues, the virtues of wisdom and the virtues of behavior. The former comes from learning, and the later Those who get it from practice. That person is Aristotle, one of the three saints of ancient Greece. He also said that true virtue cannot be without practical wisdom, and practical wisdom cannot be without virtue... …Yuanzhi, you are fifteen years old, just at the age of school. But you don’t know how to make progress. You argue with others all day long, boasting, and showing off your cleverness. But you don’t know that there is no limit to learning. Your showing off today is exactly what you will do in the future. mediocre.

All the people here are high-ranking scholars.

Just ask them, what were they doing when they were 15 years old?
Your talent is really clever, and you can draw inferences from one example.But if you don't study and only know how to show off your tongue, how long can you last?In my opinion, the word 'virtue' is beyond words in Yuanzhi.Gai Yinyuan didn't know what "morality" was, so he was not enough to discuss the depth of "morality" with Gao Shi. "

"Fang Yuan bluntly said 'heaven', what is heaven?
There is "heaven" in a broad sense and "heaven" in a narrow sense.Let’s not talk about the broad sense now, because the way of heaven is far away, and the way of humanity is close. If you don’t know the way of humanity, how can you talk about the way of heaven.Let's just talk about the narrow sense of 'day'.It is still a barbaric place, and 600 years ago, the changes of the four seasons of the heaven and the earth were broken down into several periodic movements... Aristotle, with the earth and stars as the center, made the celestial bodies move in a uniform circular motion on the circumference.At the same time, there is another school of thought, which believes that the earth and the stars rotate on their own axis every day, with the sun as the center, and move in a circle... I would like to ask Yuan Zhi, do you know what a circle is?Which theory do you think prevails?The relationship between heaven and man, so what exactly is "heaven"? "

"Yuan Zhi said that he has read a lot of books.

Let me ask again, have you read an article called "History"?

600 years ago, in the land of the barbarians, there was the coast of Asia Minor, where a man named Herodotus was born.Since he was 30 years old, he has been roaming for a long time. His ancestral home is all over Mesopotamia, from Egypt in the south, Sicily in the west, and the Black Sea in the north...

After years of research, Herodotus wrote the book "History", which covered the continent of Europe, and even Persia, Egypt and other places.

Do you know the local customs? "

"... Thucydides believed that the content of history is what happened just now. Do you have any opinion on this?

I don't know if Yuan Zhi has read his "History of the Peloponnesian War".In that book, an extremely important war in the continent of Europa was described.

As the ancients said, when writing history, you should talk about the righteousness in a small way, and keep the pen in the spring and autumn.

Thucydides, on the other hand, believed that it was impossible to know accurately about the distant past, even the history before our own time.Because they are too far away from us in time.Therefore, he divided the categories of archaeology and history.So do you think he is right?Throughout the time since Confucius, have the writers of history really achieved the words "spring and autumn" and "fairness"? "

"Okay, you say these are barbarian studies, then let's talk about saints.

The sage Confucius once had three thousand disciples, and there was no distinction between what he said and what he taught.His disciples include craftsmen, farmers, merchants, and officials... But I heard that you said that "people are born with a distinction between high and low", so I would like to ask whether what the master said is correct, or you Zhou Buyi is more powerful than a saint? "

Cao Peng knew very well that Zhou Buyi should not be allowed to take the lead.

This child is eloquent, once he snatches the opportunity and takes the initiative, he will be in a passive position.

Zhou Buyi is good at changing positions, but Cao Peng has to control this rhythm.

He doesn't need to argue with Zhou Buyu, he just needs to keep asking questions, disturbing Zhou Buyi's thoughts, so that the rhythm can always be controlled by him.When it comes to classic articles, Cao Peng really doesn't think he can beat Zhou Buyi.This child has been influenced by this aspect since he was a child, and he is far from being comparable to a half-way monk like Cao Peng.Of course, after ten years of rebirth, Cao Peng also knows most of the classics of this era.At the same time, he could feel that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Confucianism tolerated hundreds of rivers.

Even in the Tang and Song dynasties, Confucianism was not the opinion of one family, but the contention of a hundred schools of thought.

Until the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols did not understand the true meaning of Confucianism, so they positioned Confucianism as Confucianism, completely destroying the tradition of Confucianism that had been passed down for more than a thousand years.By the Ming Dynasty, the inclusiveness of Confucianism no longer existed.Neo Confucianism began to rise and turned into a twisted religion.

Cao Peng was able to talk about barbarian studies in the Eastern Han Dynasty, precisely because Confucianism and Confucian scholars in this period were struggling to find the true meaning of Confucianism.Their inclusiveness predestined that they could absorb various foreign academics and form their own theoretical system.

Compared with the classics, the ten Cao Pengs may not be Zhou Buyi's opponents.

But compared with knowledge, there are 800 years of experience out of thin air, and a hundred weeks of no doubt, and he is not an opponent of Cao Peng.

Cao Peng seized the opportunity, controlled the right to speak in his own hands, and used a series of questions to make Zhou Buyi unable to think calmly, so he could only follow Cao Peng's train of thought.Only after Cao Peng completely controlled Zhou Buyi's train of thought did he attack fiercely.

Although Zhou Buyi still straightened his chest, his face gradually turned pale.

What Cao Peng said made him feel how big the world was, and he was simply a frog at the bottom of a well.

Not only Zhou Buyi, but even Kong Rong beside him couldn't help being captured by Cao Peng's words.He looked solemn and silent.

"When I was in Xingyang, I heard the debate between Yuanzhi and Mr. Zhongyu.

I don't know much about Chenwei Furui.But I know that Mr. Zhongyu's moral articles are a model for the world.He once wrote "East View of the Han Dynasty", discussing the gains and losses of the court in detail, which can be used as a reference for future generations.And Yuan Zhi, what kind of articles do you have today?To educate the world?

Perhaps you will say that Zhang Liang and Xiao He have no works handed down, but they have indeed made great contributions to the community.

However, Zhang Liang and Xiao He are said today because they have already made meritorious deeds.Yuanzhi, let me ask you, what achievements do you have that I know?

If not, what qualifications do you have to accuse Mr. Zhongyu?

You are now fifteen, but you have given up your studies and do not seek to make progress; you are now fifteen, and you have left your parents in Jingxiang, and you are living in Xudu, chasing fame and fortune;Yuan Zhi, I am not strict, I really don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and it is the act of a villain to speak falsely about the sages.

You talk expensive and cheap.

Okay, let's talk about expensive and cheap.

Since ancient times, sages and sages have relied on themselves.There is a saying at the beginning of Yi: Tian Xingjian, a gentleman should strive for self-improvement.

For those who are noble, when Ziwen was fifteen, he fought against Hexi with me; when I was fifteen, I assisted Deng Shusun and gained a foothold in Haixi;Besides, I know a lot of people who come from bad backgrounds and low family status, but at the age of 15 they can stand on their own in the world.Or the life of a soldier and horse, conquering the world; or farming the fields, can enrich the treasury at the top, and satiate oneself at the bottom.

Therefore, self-improvement also.

Yuan Zhi, why are you self-improving?Could it be that he lives and lives by relying on his ability to speak and speak? "

Zhou Buyi's face was as pale as paper, and he didn't know how to refute.

Cao Peng's words are reasonable, making his eloquence useless.

Cao Peng sneered and said: "Noble man, relying on his own talent and learning, writing can stabilize the country, and martial arts can stabilize the country. Mounting a horse can level the world, and writing a pen can make the common people live and work in peace. Either educate the common people, or make a contribution for thousands of years. Relying on one's own ability, and To be able to stand between heaven and earth is to be truly noble.

And those who are ignorant, only know how to steal chickens and dogs, show off their tongues, but have no skills in the elders, they are cheap, lowly 'cheap'. "

Cao Peng almost pointed at Zhou Buyi's nose and called him a 'slut'.

Then, he sneered coldly.

"Since I was born, I have never been ashamed of the common people.

I assisted my elder brother to rule Haixi, and can send millions of Dendrobium to the country every year.In the land of Huaihe River and Huaihe River, the common people live and work in peace and contentment. Since Jian'an two years ago, the population has increased by 20. When I fought in Guandu, I led my troops to kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou. I fought across the battlefield and killed countless generals. I was sent as an envoy. Shuofang governed Hexi, made Hexi return to the Central Plains, and made Hexi free from military disasters.

I fought in Liangzhou, and in three years I put Liangzhou's military disasters to rest, and made great achievements for the imperial court.

I wrote the [-]-character text, which can make young children understand the past and the present; I wrote the Three-Character Classic, so that people know good and evil, and understand loyalty and filial piety...

Zhou Buyi, how can you comment on me?What qualifications do you have to say that I am not?Everyone here, who is no more knowledgeable than you, what qualifications do you have to talk about them?In my opinion, you are not qualified to judge anyone. If you want to judge others, first examine yourself.The seat is full of high-ranking scholars, what kind of virtue do you, a child, sit here?If I were you, I would never have the face to stay here again. "

Zhou Buyi stood up suddenly, pointed at Cao Peng, his lips trembling.

And a pair of eyes stared at him indifferently...

Cao Peng could see that there were tears in his eyes.

I couldn't help but feel unbearable in my heart.

He is still a child!

Instigated by others, in fact, I can't help myself...

But as soon as he thought about it, that unbearable feeling was suppressed again.

At such a time, he must not be merciful in the slightest.This has nothing to do with Cao Chong, this is a battle between him and Zhou Buyi's strength behind him.

Zhou Buyi put down his hand, turned around and opened the door.

The moment he walked out of the Accord, he turned around suddenly, bowed deeply to Cao Peng, and silently closed the door.

"Youxue, well said!"

"Young master's lesson is that this kid's tongue-in-cheek all day long is really not a man."

Cao Peng glanced at those people coldly, then heaved a sigh of relief and stood up, "Mr. Rong, I am restless and a little irritable. Let me take my leave first. I will hold a banquet in the mansion tomorrow. If Mr. Rong has time, Why don't you come over and have a talk. I'm sorry, I'll take my leave first..."

He really didn't feel joy, on the contrary, he felt a little heavy in his heart.

Zhou Buyi, after scolding him today, I'm afraid there will be no place for him in Xudu...

Thinking about it, I seem to have scolded too harshly.

But there is no way, this kid is provoking troubles all day long, if he continues, his life may be ruined.

His arrogance, his stubbornness, and his quick wit may make him a celebrity, but if he gets involved in politics, he will die sooner or later.

Kong Rong looked at Cao Peng appreciatively and nodded.

Victory without arrogance is the virtue of a gentleman.

Cao Peng was not happy because he had won Zhou Buyi's debate, but instead showed a heavy look, which also showed that he is a virtuous person.

"What Youxue said today has opened Kong Rong's eyes.

Tomorrow, I will go to visit and have a chat with Youxue.Today's gathering, but less interest, it is better to just break up. "

In fact, why didn't Kong Rong feel sorry for Zhou Buyi?

Although Ying Jun did not achieve his goal, he has already connected with Cao Peng.

For him, this is already a success...

Therefore, when Kong Rong said to break up, he didn't stop him, but readily agreed.Now that the convener has decided to leave, it doesn't make sense for everyone to stay here.After Cao Peng left, he straddled his horse under the restaurant and walked slowly towards Fengchehou's mansion.

At this time, it is not yet forbidden time, so the street is still very lively.

In the distance, Cao Peng saw a lonely figure walking along the long street, as if lost in spirit.

It's Zhou Buyi!

For a 15-year-old child, the blow that Zhou Buyi suffered today was unprecedented.He thinks he is unparalleled in eloquence, he thinks he is talented, he thinks he is well-read, and he thinks he has extraordinary knowledge.But in front of Cao Peng, those things that he was proud of in the past, like flowers in a mirror or the moon in water, have become illusions.Since the first debate in Xudu, he has never failed.But those victories, thinking about it now, are so ridiculous, so pale, meaningless...

It turned out that he didn't win!

It's those people who really have great knowledge who don't bother arguing with him at all.

He had never heard of what Cao Peng said.And those strange barbarian names made him feel even more at a loss.

If you don't know how big the world is, how can you speak falsely about the world?

Could it be that in the eyes of others, he is really just a clown?A shallow person?
The sound of horseshoes sounded behind him, but Zhou Buyi didn't seem to notice it.

A horse blocked his way, and a loud voice sounded in his ear, "Zhou Buyi!"

He raised his head and looked in astonishment.

Under the light, Zhou Buyi saw an extremely familiar face.

"Cao... Peng!"

Cao Peng stared at him with burning eyes.

After a while, he suddenly said: "Yuan Zhi, go home.

This is the world of adults, there are many things you can't imagine.Go home, study well, and come to argue with me when you have finished your studies.Go back and tell those behind you not to use such despicable means.Stand up if you have the ability, don't let the children charge forward.I had a lot of respect for him, but if he only has these methods, tell him that he is trash.

Go back, trust your loved ones, they are waiting for you to return home. "

At the end of Zhou Buyi, he still stubbornly straightened his waist and looked at Cao Peng.

Originally thought that Cao Peng would humiliate him again, but he was even ready to face this kind of humiliation.

Unexpectedly...

For some reason, Zhou Buyi had a sore nose and tears streaming down his face.

Cao Peng sighed, took out a square scarf from his arms, and threw it into Zhou Buyi's hand.

"Yuanzhi, there are many ways to become famous, but you chose the most stupid and irrational way.

Perhaps, your Zhou Busu's name can be quickly known by people.But I assure you, if you don't have real talents, you will be ridiculed sooner or later. "

After finishing speaking, Cao Peng turned his horse's head and walked away.

Holding the handkerchief in his hand, Zhou Buyi suddenly burst into tears after a while.

It turned out that in Cao Peng's eyes, everything he did was so childish and ridiculous.It turned out that he had already guessed his origin...
