Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 89
Then, he stabilized his mind, and said slowly to Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Sima Yi: "The answers of the three young masters are all very good. However, there are three levels of our Confucianism and holy way: entering the door, entering the hall, Entering the room, from low to high, step by step. Three young masters, please forgive me for telling the truth." He glanced at the reactions of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi out of the corner of his eye, gritted his teeth, and finally secretly decided to speak bluntly, " According to this seat, Mr. Cao's words of "a benevolent man can make others love themselves, and a wise man can make others know themselves" are "introduction views" for practicing Confucianism and Taoism; Confucianism and Taoism are the "views of entering the court"; and Mr. Sima's words of "the benevolent love themselves, and the wise know themselves" are the "views of entering the house" for practicing Confucianism and Taoism!"

When he said this, he looked at the faces of the three of them again, only to see that Cao Pi was embarrassed and a little unhappy after hearing this; Cao Zhi nodded slightly after hearing it;So he patiently explained: "Why did Mr. Xun Ling ask you this question? He just wanted everyone to understand: If people don't love themselves, how can they love others? If they can't love others, how can they make others love themselves? If people don't know themselves, How can you know others? If you cannot know others, how can you make others know yourself? On the contrary, people must first love themselves before being able to love others, and after being able to love others, they can make others love themselves; people must first know themselves before being able to know others, and after being able to know others, they can make others know themselves !"

After he finished speaking, everyone in the hall burst into applause and cheers.

Amid the applause and applause, Xun Yu was still as quiet as a valley.He picked up the topaz cup with the double-eared crane pattern, took a sip of the tea, moistened his throat, then raised his hands slightly, and the audience immediately fell silent again.

He was about to speak, but saw Sima Yi sitting on the table suddenly raised his right hand high.

"Zhongda, what's the matter with you?" Xun Yu stretched out his hand and beckoned to him, "Get up and talk."

"Teacher Lingjun, Xiaosheng dares to ask you a question." Sima Yi looked extremely respectful, lowered his eyebrows, stood up and asked softly.

Hearing his words, all the young talents and Confucian scholars in the audience immediately surged like a tide.The rules of the venue have been announced just now - at this meeting, only Ling Jun is allowed to ask questions, and all the young talents in the hall can only answer questions in response!Sima Zhongda jumped out at this moment and wanted to ask Mr. Ling Jun some questions?Why are you so unruly!
"Very good. You can ask." Xun Yu immediately regained his composure after being stunned for a while, and his tone was filled with a strong and unusual force, "However, you challenged the rules of the society—so in answering your After this question, this seat will punish you to be a disciple of my Xunmen, and you must pay homage to this seat anytime, anywhere!"

Everyone in the audience was in an uproar again.What kind of "punishment" is Xun Yu's behavior called?Sima Yi boldly violated the rules and challenged his authority, but he wants to accept him as a disciple?Although Xun Lingjun is famous for his love of talents, he shouldn't be so tolerant to Sima Yi.

When Sima Yi heard his words, he couldn't help but secretly startled, but at the moment he didn't have time to think deeply, so he said casually: "Mr. Lingjun is so polite and tolerant, Xiaosheng is really ashamed! If this is the case, Xiaosheng is here to learn from the teacher!" Said Come on, kneel down on the seat, and respectfully kowtow nine times to Xun Yu.

Sitting on the square couch, Xun Yu solemnly accepted his great gift of apprenticeship, waved his right hand to make him stand up, and said in a slow voice: "Zhongda, if you have any questions, just ask!"

Sima Yi respectfully responded, and asked slowly: "According to Xiaosheng's opinion, people in the world are famous for their virtues, or for their courage, or for their wisdom. What they want in their hearts is the word 'success'. Excuse me?" Teacher Ling Jun, what should you say about the word 'cheng' in your mind? Please enlighten me, Xiaosheng."

After hearing Sima Yi's question, the light in Xun Yu's eyes sank, and suddenly became very, very deep.He was silent for a long time like Yuan Han and Yue Zhi, and then slowly opened his mouth: "Zhongda asked a good question. People in the world don't know what 'cheng' is. Going with the tide, even if you win the power to overwhelm the world and become rich like an enemy, it is just a matter of pinching the water with your hands and finally not getting it.

"This seat views the word 'success' in this way: success is based on aspirations, and where the aspirations are is where the achievements are. Establish it with virtue, use your own wisdom to understand it, turn around thousands of times without losing its direction, mountains and rivers return without losing its spirit, willows are dark and flowers are bright without losing its integrity, vow to compete with the world for the slightest turning point, even if you use your body And martyrdom can also be passed on from generation to generation, and death is immortal! Only by doing so can it be called 'success'!"

"Okay! Good! Good!" Kong Rong was so excited at the VIP seat beside him that he couldn't help jumping up and clapping his palms loudly, "Master Ling Jun really explained the word 'cheng' very well. It’s so incisive! Kong has benefited a lot, a lot!”

"Mr. Ling Jun's instruction is indeed a deafening and wise saying, which is enough to be passed down forever!" Sima Yi was also convinced when he heard it, and bowed respectfully, "Xiaosheng's oath must be kept in my heart forever, and I will never stop practicing it throughout my life. Don't be lazy!"

love for me

In the secret room of Sima Mansion, the candlelight was flickering, and the bodies of Sima Fang, Sima Lang, and Sima Yi were reflected on the wall as three tall and majestic silhouettes like poplars.

"Second brother has been a bit too conceited recently." Sima Lang said bluntly to Sima Yi, "Brother, I heard that Master Cui Yan talked about your eloquence and witty remarks at the Yuxian Hall yesterday, and caused a sensation-you and Don't you know that 'arrogance is the root of all disasters, and pride is the root of all disasters'? Showing off your talents and hunting for fame may not be a good thing for you."

"Brother..." Sima Yi hesitated for a moment, and was about to defend himself, but then changed his mind, then smiled again, and said, "Thank you for the lesson, brother."

"Second brother, I know that you showed off your talents yesterday in the Yuxian Hall and shocked everyone with your words, because you are eager to establish a reputation among the scholars of today's Qingliu..." Sima Lang also felt that his tone just now was too sharp , So he calmed down and said slowly, "But in this officialdom, on the surface, everyone is friendly and praises me, and everyone seems to be a gentleman-but the narrowness and suspicion of the human heart, the jealousy and jealousy of human nature can be everywhere, all the time. No. Your strengths reveal his weaknesses, and your strengths reveal his weaknesses. Who can really obey whom? Moreover, you are young and humble, but you have already revealed your talents, and you will make those with experience Senior and self-conceited seniors are secretly jealous. They will flatter you on the surface, but they don’t know what’s going to trip you up in the dark. When you stumble on him, you still don’t know what you are doing Where was it brought down by any secret line! I have been in the officialdom for my brother for more than ten years, and I have witnessed too many such living examples and lessons."
