I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 297 The Great Qin Capital Agitated by a Catfish
"You, you are purely absurd, how can this be the same?"

Ning Zhuo's series of questions made Nan Gongshang and the others froze for a moment, wanting to refute.

But Ning Zhuo sneered and asked, "Why is it different?"

Everyone's face turned red, but they didn't know whether it was shame or anger.

After hesitating for a while, someone asked back: "If you say so, then do I become a sage after eating steamed buns?"

"Haha, yes, if you say that, then we all know things that saints don't know, isn't everyone a saint?"

These people hesitated for a while, and when they found this statement, they all laughed, as if they had suddenly found the truth to overthrow the theory of Ning Zhuo.

But Beichen and the others couldn't help frowning when they heard this.

As a neutral party, they can clearly tell who has the upper hand and who is messing around.

But it's hard for them to say anything, and they also want to hear what Ning Zhuo has to say.

So they looked at Ning Zhuo together.

Ning Zhuo no longer pretended to be calm as before, and now he had no fear of these people.

Hearing this, he shook his head lightly and said, "No, no.

Do you not understand what I mean, or are you pretending not to understand me? "

"Those who know have to know, and have to be known. To know is to understand, observe, comprehend, know what it is and why it is.

The so-called extension of knowledge lies in the investigation of objects, and knowledge is obtained after the investigation of objects.

What you call knowledge today is just like the rain hitting the ground and the water wrinkling when the wind passes through the spring.Its user is in the rain, in the wind, and the land, what does the spring water have to do? "

"Just like what I said to you today, like what is written in the sages' book, you just heard it, saw it, but didn't know it.

This is nothing more than superficial being known, not extended knowledge. If you say something bluntly like this, you are not as good as those illiterate people outside. You don’t even count as scholars, you can only barely count as readers, and you want to be a sage. ,are you crazy? "

"you……"

Nan Gongshang and the others didn't expect Ning Zhuo's words to be so vicious. A few words made them worse than those pariahs outside, and they were just readers, not even scholars.

Why don't you just say that we are not even human?

As sons of aristocratic families, "students", they have never been so belittled before.

But each of what Ning Zhuo said has a clear logic, and it all comes from the theory of sages.

They want to refute, but do not know how to refute.

Nan Gongshang wanted to incite those people again, but Han Zhuowu behind him quietly grabbed him and shook his head slightly at him.

That means: "Enough is enough, if you go on, not only will you not be able to please, but you will even lose your face even more."

Nan Gongshang frowned slightly, then took a deep breath and finally did not speak again, but his face was extremely gloomy.

But Beichen and the others couldn't help their hearts moving when they heard this.

Bei Chen didn't bother to worry about Nan Gongshang and the others any more, so he cupped his hands and saluted and asked, "Dare to ask my brother, what is the meaning of the so-called people who investigate things?"

This question was completely different from that of Nangong Shang and others. From the attitude to the tone, it was already the meaning of asking for advice.

Seeing this, Ning Zhuo did not neglect.

Since the other party asked politely, he also replied politely: "Don't dare."

After speaking, he raised his hand to signal the other party to sit down.

Then he said in a manly voice: "I think there are four ways to study things: to observe its shape, to observe its nature, to prove its truth, and to understand its reason.

The observer observes, the observer observes, the witness verifies, and the discerner understands.

To delineate a thing, one must first observe its shape, observe its physical properties, and then verify the observations, and then get the truth and discard the false. After removing the false and keeping the true, you will naturally understand the truth contained in it. "

Hearing his words, everyone was stunned.

Even those who originally objected, many of them stopped. Although they were still frowning, they couldn't help but listen.

Because since ancient times, it has been said to learn from things, but no one has ever said how to study things.

Although everyone instinctively noticed that the Gewu mentioned by Ning Zhuo was somewhat different from the Gewu mentioned in the sage book.

The university said: "Investigate things, extend knowledge, be sincere, be honest, cultivate one's morality, regulate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world."

But Ning Zhuo was the first person to tell how to investigate things, and even gave the method and steps.

Regardless of whether it is right or not, as a scholar, it is inevitable to care about it.

Because this problem really bothers too many people.

Don't say now.

Even in another time and space, until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, no one could figure out how to check things.

In the end, we can only take thorough idealism.

What Ning Zhuo said was naturally adapted by Zhao Xin by combining some methods of later scientific experiments.

Although he also has three knives and four knives that are not counted as two knives.

But to the readers at this time, it is quite new.

Even if it is wrong, for some people who really want to know and seek the truth, they can't help but try it.

And Xin Zhao is betting that some of these people will be fascinated by the refreshing feeling of deciphering after trying it. As long as there are one or two out of 1 people, then there will be one out of 100 people, and one out of 200 people. [-] people will become disciples of this method.

In the end, these people will inevitably bring different changes to these people.

Of course, those are just by-products for Xin Zhao, his main goal is not to reform the society and bring about any modernization.

It is to shake the solidification of the family in the ideological field.

As long as this goal is achieved, everything else is gratifying, and failure is fine.

And there is no doubt that when Beichen and others asked a question, and then Ning Zhuo made an explanation, his first goal had been achieved.

This point has been talked about Ning Zhuo's lecture from top to bottom in the capital since Ning Zhuo gave a lecture in Taixue.

Even in restaurants and washrooms, when people gather together, they often hear loud debates about why the sun is bigger in the morning and smaller at noon.

There are even jokes about who went to check something and what happened.

The entire capital, from Qingliu famous officials, to imperial students, to traffickers and pawns.

All of a sudden, there is unprecedented enthusiasm for academic discussions on the size of the sun.

Ning Zhuo also naturally had a group of fans and believers.

Of course, there are more opponents, but the voices of these people are a bit monotonous, nothing more than saying that Ning Zhuo's heresy is heresy, and it is insulting to gentleness or something.

This kind of voice still has a market among scholars and wealthy families, but it seems a bit pale and weak among ordinary people.

And Zhao Xin also fulfilled his agreement with Ning Zhuo, and formally issued an edict to call Ning Zhuo into Qinzheng Palace to give lectures.

This is undoubtedly a big event for Qingliu of the Confucian sect in the capital.

This marks that the ten-day preaching, which has been abandoned for a long time, is once again a sign of recovery.

Although for many of them, the person who entered the ban to preach the scriptures was not the candidate they expected.

For them, this person is naturally preferably themselves, or a representative of their school.

At worst, it must be a traditional aristocratic wealthy family.

And Ning Zhuo undoubtedly didn't rely on all of them.

Even behind him is the shadow of the emperor everywhere. It is undoubtedly very sour to have such a person restart their long-awaited Qinzheng Hall lectures.

Although I really want to say no, my body seems to be very eager.

Hey, it's really exhausting.
