Spring and Autumn I Am King

PS: Going out, there is only one chapter left

Shangqiu Hao Society stands on the bank of Sui River, so it is also called "Second Sui Society". In the past 600 years, this was the most important temple in Song Dynasty, and it was also a sacred place in the eyes of Yin and Shang survivors.

Their birth, old age, sickness and death, marriage, good harvest, and disasters are all inseparable from this temple. Since the so-called "Tao of Heaven" belief became popular in the Song Dynasty, this place has become an existence like the helm of the Tao of Heaven. Da Wu Nanzi often reside here.

Not only the ancestors of the Yin, Shang and Song dynasties, but also all kinds of strange gods are worshipped here. Xuanwang, Houtu, Landlord, Sifu, the wooden **** Jumang with human head and bird body, and Suishui Hebo are all enshrined here. sex.

But now Nanzi announced: All gods are unified in the way of heaven, these idols have been withdrawn to the dark room in the apse, and the interior of the Hao Society has been completely rebuilt.

On this day, Confucius and several trusted disciples entered the main entrance of the Hao Society. After crossing the road sandwiched by Sanglin, the first thing he saw was a huge circle.

Confucius did not sacrifice ancestral spirits and ghosts and gods outside his own family, so he also respected the ghosts and gods and kept them away. It was the first time he came to Haoshe. From a distance, the square mound was several feet above the ground. It was all inlaid with white and black stones. The surface was polished and rounded, forming a huge yin and yang fish. pattern.

Black and white Eryi is both inclusive and separate. It seems to have a simple structure, but it also seems to contain the avenues of the universe. Compared with the hideous statues, it gives people a sense of mystery, even the well-informed Confucian disciples. Couldn't help being a little shocked.

However, Confucius was relatively calm. In his life, he had experienced similar debates countless times. With Shaozhengmao, Liu Xiaji, Dou Ji, Changhong, Daozhi, and Laozi, most of the time The advantage is that the straight bandit logic in the face of Liu Xiazhi has no effect.

Although it is claimed that this debate is "10,000 people watching," but in fact, most people are outside the door of Haoshe. There were only a few hundred people who could come in and listen, all of whom were dignitaries from the Song Kingdom. They were all surrounded by the huge Tai Chi pattern, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the two protagonists today.

At this time, Confucius came as promised. Most people got up and raised their robes and saluted. Confucius greeted them and sat down at the yin and yang of the fish.

Between the elegant silk and bamboo voices, there are occasional whispers that this meeting will be governed by the Song Dynasty. Da Sicheng Le Ziming presided over. He is now a half relative of Confucius, but he is not cold or warm to the disciples of Confucius, his expression is arrogant, and the atmosphere seems a little depressed.

Suddenly, the ring pendant jingled, and Le Da Sicheng suddenly smiled flatteringly. When everyone turned around, they saw that the daughter-in-law Nanzi came out surrounded by a group of witches.

Nanzi was still dressed in that dress, with a gauze covering his face. It is said that since her father Song Jinggong passed away unfortunately, Nanzi swore that she would never marry, and that she would serve ghosts and gods for Song. Only the gods and King Xuan could see her face.

Therefore, everyone present naturally didn't have the chance to see Fang Rong, and they could only see that her forehead was a little bright red, the yin and yang fish pendant was hung on her fair neck, and she was wearing a holy white witch robe with black black bird patterns on her robe. Wearing a bracelet woven with herbs on her hand, it exudes a faint fragrance. Maybe wearing a lot of psychic accessories, and wearing jingle bells when walking.

"Easy to have Tai Chi, it is to produce two ceremonies. Two ceremonies give birth to four images, and four images give birth to gossip... The world's great way. Does it not include it, what does Master think?"

As soon as she appeared on the stage, Nanzi started with such a sentence, which seemed mysterious and awe-inspiring. Therefore, although she was a stunner, everyone present had to put aside their coveted hearts.

She also lectured occasionally. The voice is clear and melodious. With all these things, it is no wonder that many people in Shangqiu City have become believers, and the witches and wizards of Song Kingdom have brought their gods to her collection, and they have no resistance at all.

But Confucius was unmoved. He knelt down on the ground and carefully arranged his clothes. Then he looked at Nanzi with a rare dignified expression, and said earnestly, "I once said to me that all things bear yin and embrace yang. The tai chi diagram made by the male and female has a profound meaning, which is quite profound to Lao Tzu, and Qiu also admires it very much..."

"But there is only one thing, you teach the relationship between ghosts and gods and human affairs, Qiu can't agree!"

Nanzi has also taken his seat, and Confucius is like yin and yang. Looking at Confucius, the handsome gentleman standing in the field, there is a little admiration in her eyes. Just thinking that this person has been against his lover many times in Lu, and now he has come to Song State to obstruct the task given by Zhao Wuxi, and I can't help but feel a little regretful.

Hearing this, she shook her head slightly and smiled, took a deep breath, stood up, bowed her hands in a salute, looked at Confucius in the seat and said loudly: "Nanzi is not talented, dare to ask for advice!"

Hearing these words, Hao Club suddenly became quieter, and the background voices and discussions disappeared without a trace.

Outside, Gongliangru, a disciple of Confucius, quietly touched Zilu and asked, "Can Master win?"

Zilu was full of self-confidence: "I just hope that the daughter of Song Guo won't lose too badly!"

...

"Nanzi heard a story. When Duke Mu of Qin used to worship at Chenbao Temple, a **** entered the ancestral hall in broad daylight. He had the head of a bird and the body of a bird, and he wore a white robe and a mysterious end. When Duke Mu of Qin saw it, he ran away in fear. God said: 'Don't be afraid! God enjoy your virtue, let me give you nineteen years of yang life, make your country prosperous and prosperous, and your descendants will prosper, and never lose Qin state.' When asked about the name of the god, the **** replied: 'I am Jumang.' This incident was recorded accurately in the annals of Qin's history. If Duke Mu of Qin had seen it himself, could there be doubts about the existence of ghosts and gods? "

After finishing this long speech, Nanzi said in conclusion: "Whether it is an annals of history or country legends, there are countless similar incidents. Now, does the Master still deny the existence of ghosts and gods?"

Confucius shook his head with a smile: "Miss Hugh is going to misunderstand. I am here today not to deny the existence of ghosts and gods."

The audience was amazed, and Nanzi also had doubts in his eyes, and turned to look at the witches who came to complain that Confucius preached the non-existence of ghosts and gods in Shangqiu.

The wizard who came to Confucius that day jumped out, pointed at Confucius and said, "Zhong Nixiu wants to eat his own words, and that **** said in public that he should do things first, and ghosts later!"

Confucius laughed: "He who breaks his word is fat, how can Qiu say nonsense? I occasionally pray to the ancestors, and I have praised Dayu's respect for ghosts and gods in front of my disciples. , Qiu Qiu has a word to deny that there are ghosts and gods in the world!?"

The wizard was dumbfounded, and Confucius had recently appeared on the streets of Shangqiu with an attitude of questioning the teachings of the Tao of Heaven. It made them very hostile to him, and they added fuel to the complaint when Nanzi complained.

Nanzi glared at those few people, the Song country was waiting to be rebuilt, and she had only started teaching for more than a year. There are not many people available, and Wu Zhu is not perfect in the teaching, so that there is a big oolong today. She memorized the names of these people and cleaned them up later.

But things have to come to an end now, so she bit the bullet and said, "So the Master doesn't deny the existence of ghosts and gods. It's wise, and since that's the case, I don't know why you're here today to argue?"

Confucius said solemnly: "Qiu thinks that the attitude of males and daughters towards ghosts and gods is biased, and it is also flattering to sacrifice to ghosts. To serve the righteousness of the people, to respect ghosts and gods and keep them away, this can be said to be known. If the sacrifice to ghosts and gods is too much It is too flattering, and even like the current Song Dynasty, all the gods around are included in the temple to worship. It is unwise to worship the sky above, the ghosts and gods are in the middle, and the personnel affairs are put to the end..."

Nanzi shook his head: "Otherwise, the Master is wrong. The current situation is that since the death of the three generations of holy kings, the world has lost its righteousness, and the princes have used violence to conquer each other. The ruler and ministers cannot be benevolent and loyal, and fathers, sons and brothers do not do each other. When it comes to loving kindness and filial piety, the superiors do not work hard to listen to the political state, and the inferiors do not work hard to serve and do things. There are riots in every country, and thieves stop innocent people on the roads, big and small, and take people, horses, clothes and fur for their own gain. It is no exaggeration to call it a great chaos in the world. What is the reason for this? Nanzi secretly thinks that it is because everyone has doubts about the existence of ghosts and gods. , keep in awe before doing evil, then how can the world be in chaos?"

"Therefore, if the ruling ministers and incumbents of the Song state really want to seek the benefits of the Song state and eliminate the harm of the Song state, they must not doubt the existence of ghosts and gods, and they must respect and commend them. This is the way of the holy king. objection?"

Of course, Confucius objected: "The way of the holy king is to restore the etiquette and morality of human beings, not the ghosts and gods... The way of heaven is respectable, but not flattering."

The two of you come and go, so today's debate has unknowingly deviated from the existence of ghosts and spirits, and is crooked.

What everyone present, including Confucius and Nanzi, did not know is that this debate, which should not have existed in history, opened the prelude to an academic dispute that has lasted for thousands of years.

That proposition is called "The Debate between Heaven and Man"!

...

"Tianzhi is the benchmark for all human affairs..."

After today's debate entered the core of ancient Chinese philosophy, "the debate between heaven and man", Nanzi's words were not as sharp as before, and she found that she had encountered an unshakable mountain.

Although Nanzi is extremely intelligent, and has been very eager to learn in the past two years, he has learned a lot about Song Guowuzhu's things, plus his identity and appearance, he is quite able to fool some believers. But Confucius is known all over the world after all, and he has been studying hard since he was fifteen years old. He has been taught by others regardless of age and identity many times. The fields involved can go through the heavens and the latitudes, and the people can live in peace, although they are all theoretical. , but it is enough to deal with Nanzi.

Confucius arranged his appearance with a solemn expression. He respected the wisdom and sparring represented by the debate itself, and at the same time, he also rewarded Nanzi for his insights to a certain extent, as if he was treating a wiser disciple. . And when the debate got to the point, he mercilessly began to show his level of pride in the world of theory.

Just like Taidai, you can see the small mountains at a glance!

Around the difficult propositions of debate, countless former sages' classics were skillfully extracted and organized by Confucius and turned into a complicated and clear net. But the listeners don't need to think for too long to understand the true meaning, because Confucius' rhetoric is not at all gorgeous, simple and simple like everyday language, the Confucian disciples are silently taking notes, and the people of Song who are present also seem to be in The students listening to the class nodded involuntarily.

What shocked everyone in the room was that in this debate, Confucius was able to use things that existed in the historical records of Yin, Shang and Song countries many times. Weapons, so Nanzi has no way to refute.

Nanzi's "Heavenly Dao" is similar to the "Heavenly Will" that originated from the Mohist School of the Song Dynasty. She hopes that there will be a non-human level high-level being "Heaven" above the social order of human relations, who will deify Heaven and play the role of ruler The human world also has the role of rewarding the good and punishing the evil. Heaven acts according to his will, and Heaven's will has become the most sought after object in the human world.

In Confucius's mind, heaven is a state of nature and god, although there is divine will in the dark, people should fear the destiny. But everything still has to be decided by people themselves, so the foundation of Confucius' philosophy lies in people, even heaven, and the people's will as the benchmark. As for the sky itself, it can be lofty, but it does not need to be too deified.

Originally, this was the difference in world outlook between the Zhou and Yin cultures, and it was difficult to tell the winners and losers. But under the narration of Confucius, Nanzi gradually seemed to be struggling. She only fought back a little, and she was caught in the sea of ​​simple words. Her poor little knowledge was just a small river, and when it entered the sea, it disappeared. Unexpectedly, he could only watch the other party weave the words more and more densely, but he was powerless to fight back.

"What does the sky say? The four seasons move, and all things are born, what does the sky say!"

Finally, Confucius ended his speech with these words.

There was silence in the courtyard, and the Confucius disciples looked at each other and smiled, thinking, "Master has won." After experiencing the defeat in the State of Lu, although the Master was frustrated, he became more and more courageous, and his words, deeds and thoughts became more and more proficient.

The people of Song country didn't know how to speak, including Le Mixed, they all felt a little wet on their backs. In this debate, from the one-sided situation in the later period, it seems that Confucius won.

But Nanzi refused to admit defeat. She clenched her fists tightly, still bit her lip, and insisted: "Heaven is supreme, heaven knows everything, and the benevolence and righteousness that the Master admires comes from heaven!"

...

When one party is unconvinced and bites its own theory, the debate will reach a deadlock. In the end, Le Mixing comes out to smooth the game and declare that the debate will be a winner...

However, the disciples of Confucius were still like a group of soldiers who had won the battle under the leadership of the general. They raised their heads and raised their eyebrows, and followed their master to the outside of the Hao Society. Today, they won a substantial victory.

Confucius and his disciples lived in a mansion of Sima Geng. Although they were a little crowded, their daily life was able to satisfy their food and clothing, which was nothing compared to their predicament when they were in the state of Ju.

The disciples happily shared today's excerpted notes~www.readwn.com~ and integrated them into Yan Hui. Because the Master did not write them down, they secretly discussed that they should record the Master's words and deeds and make a book later.

Confucius closed his eyes and rested on the couch. After all, he was nearly sixty years old. Today's debate was very intense. It lasted from morning to evening, and he felt a little tired.

After the eclipse the next day, You Sixun from the Song Palace came to the door, saying that it was the monarch who invited him!

"Song Gong wants to see me!?"

For a time, Confucius and all the disciples were a little surprised. Song Gong asked to see him. This was the first time for Confucius to come to Song.

Because Song Gongjiu was only a ten-year-old baby, he was kept in the palace all day long, and the real power was in the hands of the Sicheng Le clan, the Huang clan, and the daughter-in-law Nanzi.

In the end, it was Zilu who patted his thigh excitedly and said, "Maybe Song Gong heard about the dispute yesterday, so he decided to let the master be his master!" (To be continued.)
