Wentang

Chapter 93 Debate
"Bachelor Kong, don't blame me for disturbing your lecture." Changsun Wugou gave Yue Shan a vicious look, but he took the initiative to take over all his faults.

"I've met your empress, but I don't know that your empress is still here to forgive me." Seeing the eldest grandson Wugou, Kong Yingda's face paled, and he hurriedly returned the salute.

"I've met my mother." Li Chengqian, who was only five or six years old, also saluted in a dignified way.

"Scholar Kong, please hurry up. You are a well-learned scholar and a mentor who has taught Qian Qian. I am a mere concubine and dare to accept this gift." Changsun Wugou said in a low profile.

"I don't know why your mother is here? But you want to check the studies of King Zhongshan?" Kong Yingda asked with her head held high.

"Scholar Kong is overthinking, how can I know anything about knowledge as a woman. Scholar Kong is a well-educated person, what he teaches must be profound, how can I put my beak on it." Changsun Wugou replied:
"This is my foster brother, Yue Cuilan, the Baron of Longshou Mountain. I came to visit the mansion today, and I learned that Bachelor Kong is here to listen and study while teaching. If you can get advice in a few words, you will be lucky."

Yue Shan felt aggrieved in his heart, he knew why Changsun Wugou put his posture so low - just to wipe his ass.

His unconscious sip just now was actually very rude.This matter can be big or small, it's all in Kong Yingda's mind.When you are young, you are childish and ignorant, and then there is no more.When it gets bigger, it means disrespecting the elders, disrespecting knowledge, and having problems with character.

Kong Yingda's position in the officialdom is not high, but he has a high status in the academic world. He is fully capable of causing trouble for Yue Shan.

Changsun Wugou lowered his posture so low that he was telling Kong Yingda that I will make amends to you on his behalf, so just pretend you didn't hear the voice just now, okay?

Kong Yingda was not the later minister of Zhenguan, he was just one of the bachelors of the Literature Museum of Prince Qin's Mansion. The princess even apologized in person, so he naturally dared not lose face.But there are still a few things to say on the scene, so he said to Yue Shan with a calm face:

"There is no need to ask for advice. When you go back, you should learn what etiquette is before you learn."

Seeing the way Changsun Wugou lowered his eyebrows and lowered his figure, Yue Shan felt a fire burning in his chest.He was angry, he was angry, but he was even more aggrieved.

If someone made such a noise while he was teaching, he would also be angry.It is precisely because I know that I am wrong and there is no reason to get angry that I am even more aggrieved.

But he couldn't help but want to get angry, not because of Kong Yingda's contempt for him, but because he didn't want to see his grandson Wugou suffer such grievances for him.

"Hehe... Scholar Kong is right. Listening to your interpretation of the Analects just now, I don't think it is necessary to ask for advice." Yue Shan said coldly.

"You..." Kong Yingda was about to say something, but was forcibly interrupted by Zhangsun Wugou, only to hear her scold: "Presumptuous, why are you talking to Bachelor Kong, have you forgotten the etiquette I usually taught you?"

Looking at her frosty face, Yue Shan knew that she was really angry, but this time he was not going to step back, and saluted sincerely: "Please forgive me for being capricious."

After speaking, without waiting for Changsun Wugou to speak, he turned around and looked up at Kong Yingda and said, "It is said that Scholar Kong is a scholar of heaven and man. I have a few questions and I want to ask you for advice."

"Okay, I also wanted to experience the brilliance of this fairy boy of yours a long time ago." Kong Yingda said angrily.

The eldest grandson Wugou looked at the stubborn boy, and felt for the first time that she still knew too little about this younger brother.

She was full of worries and fears that he would make a fool of himself, but for some reason, there was a bit of anticipation in her heart.Let's see how capable this brother-in-law who claims to have read the "Three Books of Heaven, Earth and Man" is.

With Kong Yingda's knowledge, he should be able to discover a lot, right?

Li Chengqian hid behind his mother in fright, his little uncle actually wants to compete with the teacher?Don't look at him trembling on the surface, but his heart is full of joy.

No matter what era it is, it is an unchanging truth that students hate teachers.Even though Kong Yingda had only taught him for a day, it didn't stop him from hating this serious old man at all.

Li Lizhi didn't think so much anymore, her white and tender face was full of excitement, and her big eyes almost burst out.I almost raised my little hand and shouted 'Brother, come on'.

"Scholar Confucius said just now that he has not changed his father's way for three years, and he is filial." This means that he has not forgotten his father's teachings three years after his father's death, and he can be regarded as a filial person. Did I hear wrong?" Yue Shan asked.

"That's right." Kong Yingda said proudly.

"Then I would like to ask Scholar Confucian, how should the son of King Zhou You deal with himself? How should the son of Emperor Qin II deal with himself? How should the son of Han Lingdi deal with himself? How should the son of Sui Yang Emperor deal with himself?" Yue Shan asked.

Kong Yingda was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him actually asked a question, and pointed at the omission of what he said just now.

This actually involves a debate in the academic circles, whether it is PolyU or Xiaoda.If the things taught by the parents are wrong, do the children and grandchildren still need to obey them?

Obeying is unreasonable, not obeying is unfilial.Of course, this debate is only for beginners, and for someone like Kong Yingda who has learned a lot, he already has the answer.

Although he hated Yue Shan very much, the most basic ethics of a great Confucian made him answer this question very seriously: "Zi said: choose the good ones and follow them, and change them if they are not good."

"Since this is the case, Scholar Kong should explain clearly to Da Lang, what should he do if he goes astray?" Yue Shan asked.

Kong Yingda's lips moved, and it took a while before he replied stiffly: "It's the old man's mistake."

This time it was his turn to be aggrieved.

What profound principles can Li Chengqian learn at the age of five?It is not easy to be familiar with the Analects and know roughly what the Analects are talking about.Kong Yingda taught according to this idea, so naturally he would not break up every sentence and combine them together to explain in depth.

But this reason can't be used as an excuse for him to 'mistaken his son', this dumb loss can only be swallowed in his stomach.

As a teacher, Yue Shan naturally understood this truth, so he didn't hold on to it.Just a little bit of cheapness is enough, if you really push the other party into a hurry, you won't be able to fall behind.

Moreover, Kong Yingda's explanation just now was also full of loopholes, but he also didn't grasp it.Nonsense words and phrases will never be a clever thing on the stage, they can only highlight their presence on the Internet, and showing off in front of real intellectuals will only be despised by others.

Besides, he is not going to defeat Kong Yingda by relying on cleverness. The knowledge summed up by so many scholars in later generations does not need to be clever, that is really stupid.

"My second question is what is the solution to 'the people can learn from it, but not know it'." Yue Shan raised one of the core issues that have been debated in the academic circles of later generations.
