Humane Yongchang

Chapter 315 The beginning of a hundred schools of thought contend

Since the Legalist and Mohist schools, they have successively departed from the Hundred Schools' Front and fell to the back of the Han court.

Hundreds of schools met several times to discuss how to deal with Hanting's academic monopoly, but they all ended in vain.

By the end of April, the first batch of disciples of the Legalists who entered Jixia Academy began to walk out of Jixia Academy one after another, walking around the nine counties under the rule of the Han court with iron rulers hanging from their waists, preaching that the Legalists “do not avoid the doctor if they are punished. When the concept of "rewarding the good and leaving no one behind", Baijia finally couldn't sit still!

In particular, Confucianism and Taoism, which are the three major schools of learning in Kyushu with the Mohists, have been sending people to Chen County to visit Chen Sheng since late April and discuss various details.

Obviously, they also understand the principle of 'If you don't occupy the ideological position, the enemy will occupy it'.

On the first day of May, Hanting's wheat harvest has just entered the boundary of Yanzhou from Yuzhou.

On that day, the vanguard of the Confucianists who preached at Jixia Academy arrived in Chen County!

Chen Sheng instructed Li Si to meet him at the West City Gate on his behalf.

As for himself, he was hiding in the inner city gate tower, leisurely preparing to watch a big show!
It was noon and the sun was shining.

A line of magnificent bullock carts appeared at the end of the Western Horse Road, accompanied by the chanting of neat and vast Confucian classics.

On the top of the city gate, Chen Sheng, who was sitting a few short distances behind a cloud-patterned sandalwood, listened to the distant and clear chanting, the corners of his thin lips lifted slightly, and whispered to himself: "Interesting. …”

It is said that Confucianism cultivates the spirit of grandeur and cultivates the body of a gentleman.

But these gentlemen are not necessarily big-hearted!

The front foot loses face, and the back foot wants to find a way back!
but it does not matter.

Now someone is more anxious than him!
The advantage of a hundred schools of thought contending is nothing more than this.

Chen Sheng narrowed his eyes and smiled like a fox that stole a hen.

"Puff puff……"

The black iron kettle on the small red mud stove spewed out a column of white gas, and the water boiled.

Chen Sheng unhurriedly lifted the black iron kettle, slowly poured the boiling water into the clay teapot in front of him, washed and brewed tea in an orderly manner...

Originally, there was no tea in Chen County, and there was no such thing as drinking tea.

Since Chen Sheng began to drink tea, Chen County has had tea, and also has the ethos of drinking tea.

Up and down, nothing more than this!
"The Master said: Dao is governed by government, regulated by punishment, and the people will be free from shame. Dao by virtue, and regulated by propriety, shameful and worthy..."

Amidst the loud chanting, a convoy of [-] ox carts loaded with bamboo slips drove into the west gate in a mighty manner.

Chen Sheng looked around and saw a Confucian scholar sitting on each ox cart, regardless of age, all wearing black Confucian robes and feather crowns, sitting upright, holding bamboo slips and chanting loudly without looking sideways. .

Just this arrogant aura of 'poetry and literature in the belly' is better than the aura of the three hundred Fajia people who entered Chen County with iron rulers hanging from their waists for miles and miles!

It attracted countless people from Chen County to flock to the vicinity of Xicheng to watch...

"Stop comers!"

Just as the ox-cart team was about to enter Wengcheng, a loud shout actually suppressed the chanting of the hundred and ten scholars.

As soon as Chen Sheng heard the sound, he looked up, and saw a Fajia disciple wearing a haechi crown, wearing a black waistcoat, and a steel ruler without a blade hanging from his waist. In front of the bullock cart that can't see its head.

Facing a hundred ten scholars, not only did he not show his cowardice, but his aura was slightly superior!

"The fun begins!"

Chen Sheng lifted the clay pot, leisurely pulled out a silvery water line, poured the tea soup into the tea cup, and then squeezed the tea cup.

The chanting sound gradually ceased, and the vast ox cart team stopped outside the urn city with a loud clamor.

At the front of the ox-cart team, an old Confucian scholar with gray beard stood up tremblingly, pinched his palms meticulously, and asked in a deep voice, "Dare to ask who is under your feet, and why are you blocking our way?"

Why this Fajia person blocked their way is naturally the lice on the bald head, which can be seen at a glance.

But before you start spraying, always go through the program!

"Yu is just a person all the way in Chen County, and the mere name is not worth mentioning!"

The man from the Fajia family pressed the iron ruler and responded loudly and righteously. The loud voice could be heard not only by Chen Sheng in the city gate tower, but also by the many people in Chen County who were watching inside the city gate. The frame of the seat enters the city, just because the frame of the seat should not enter the city!"

passerby?

you're lying!
You are clearly a member of the legal family!
The Confucian scholar sitting on an ox cart, swayed his body and looked forward. Although he did not show anger, the neat and tidy aura of "many people" before was obviously a little scattered.

The old Confucian scholar at the head still kept his composure, his face remained the same, and then he bowed his hand: "Why can't we enter the city on the ox cart that we are riding, and also ask a high-ranking scholar to teach me..."

This Legalist disciple sideways avoided the old Confucian's request for advice, and responded loudly: "According to the "Chen County Public Security Law" No. Cattle and horses that enter the city must first pay a sufficient amount of "cleaning fee" for the royal court to clean up the excrement of the cattle and horses to keep the streets and alleys of the county clean. In addition, they can freely choose to hand over the cattle and horses to the guards for safekeeping, and return them when they leave the city. ...Dare to ask my father, have you ever paid a 'cleaning fee' for the bullock cart you are riding in? How can you enter the city without paying the 'cleaning fee'?"

As soon as these words came out, all the people in Chen County, including the guards and soldiers around, who were captured by the momentum of these Confucian scholars, woke up like a dream!

'Yeah, they didn't pay, why did they go to the city? '

In an instant, a large number of garrison officers and soldiers stepped forward in unison, separated from the Fajia disciple. Although they did not speak, the meaning of "If you want to enter the city, please pay first" is self-evident.

Most of the people in Kyushu are in awe of readers.

Respect, of course, is to respect the knowledge of the reader.

Fear is of course afraid of the family background of scholars.

The awe that has been passed down for thousands of years has long been ingrained!

So much so that these garrison soldiers, who were able to grit their teeth and face difficulties in the face of thousands of troops, were shocked by the chanting that rolled in, and instinctively retreated to give way.

The old Confucian scholar noticed the change in the wind direction, and his face changed slightly... Where is the problem of paying or not paying, this is clearly a confrontation between the essence of the Confucianism and the law!
"Gao Shi's words are bad!"

Without thinking, the old Confucian first opened his mouth to refute the views of the Fajia disciple, and then settled down to think about it from himself. What is wrong with this statement: "Confucius said: 'It is a pleasure to have a friend from afar' ; Meng Yan: 'The old is the old and the old of the people; the young is the young and the young of the people'..."

"The old man's words are different!"

The Fajia disciples quickly understood the core of the old Confucian scholar's argument that "I am a guest, I am reasonable, and I am old and I am reasonable", and they responded loudly without waiting for the old Confucian scholar to finish speaking: "Feizi said: 'You should not avoid the doctor if you punish wrongs, and do not reward good deeds. The old man, the important ministers of the country cannot stand above the law, let alone the old man? Today, when the old man is old, he can see the law as nothing, and tomorrow morning when he is weak, he can also see the law as nothing!"

"In the long run, where is the majesty of the law? Where are the thousands of law-abiding colleagues?"

He turned sideways, bowed his hands to the south, raised his voice again, and said without giving in: "The king said: 'The princes and generals have a seed', in order to win the word 'fairness' for the people of the Han court, the year of the weak crown Do not avoid swords and soldiers, although thousands of people go alone, a hundred battles will take our 'fair' place!"

"At present, the old man wants to use his old body to trample on the 'fair' land that the king and thousands of righteous people fought for with blood and sacrifice. How can he bear it? How benevolent is he?"

The powerful remarks caused countless people around Chen County to applaud and applaud, and even the filter of the tall scholar who had been passed down from generation to generation was shattered on the ground.

'In vain, they are still scholars! '

'Even those of us who have never read books know the truth, you don't understand, what kind of scholars are you? '

'he~tui! '

Chen Sheng, who was under the gate at the rear, also raised his glass happily and laughed: "Good job, it's a reward!"

In all fairness, Confucianism is not bad, and Legalism is not bad either.

But what is wrong is that both of them devoutly believe in their own theories as the only ones, and both believe that only their own theories are the only truths for governing the country and the world!

Facts have proved that most of the truths that are too absolute are often wrong...

He led hundreds of families into Jixia Academy, so that they could progress in debate and integrate in battle, and finally bear the delicious fruit he wanted!
The old Confucian scholar was speechless when he was refuted by the young Fajia disciple.

It's not that he agrees with the truth of this Fajia disciple.

If he agreed with the Legalist philosophy so easily, the hundred schools of thought would not have reached a consensus after fighting for so many years.

It's just that this legal family member pulled out Chen Sheng's tiger skin. Even if he is obsessed with classics and is not well-versed in the world, he knows that he can't refute the claims of the King of Han on the territory of the Han court... At least he can't clearly distinguish!

The atmosphere was so embarrassing that the Confucian scholars present almost deducted a three-bedroom and one-hall on the ground.

"Bastard!"

At this moment, a loud shout of shock and anger suddenly came from the back of Wengcheng: "How dare you stop the carriages of all Confucian scholars and sages! Don't you know that all Confucian scholars and sages are invited by the great king. Come?"

Chen Sheng just listened to the voice and knew that it was Li Si who had ended. No matter which "Confucianism", he felt sorry for those Confucian students.

Most of the people around didn't know who these scholars belonged to, but now it's good, they all know...

This old guy is also getting more and more gloomy, and he arrived early tomorrow, but he has been delayed until now to make up for the knife.

I don't know who to learn from...

Just as he mentioned the tea cup in a dark heart, he sipped the tea soup into his mouth and tasted it carefully, the smile lines on the corners of his brows suddenly stiffened, and he cursed angrily: "Tu Shanyao, you belong to Dog, where do you follow me wherever I go?"

"Goose, Goose, Goose, Goose……"

A flamboyant little head protruded from the stairs of the city wall on the side, and looked at him with a hilarious smile: "So the king doesn't like little foxes, does he like puppies? The concubine is proficient in the art of transformation..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Chen Sheng hurriedly stepped on the brakes, the speed of this idiotic fox was really getting faster and faster: "If you have something to say, you have a fart, if you have nothing to say, get out of here!"

"I hate it, my concubine is a fox, not a weasel, how can I say fart and fart!"

Tu Shanyao walked up the aisle of the city wall, smiling as bright as the sun in spring: "The concubine has two official business!"

Chen Sheng glared at her: "Stop, just stand there and say, don't come near me!"

Tu Shanyao pouted, and gently sent the memorial in his hand, and the memorial on the wooden cover fell lightly on the table.

Chen Sheng picked up the memorial and glanced at the seal on the lacquer, it was Chen Feng's seal,

He opened the memorial and glanced at the ten lines quickly: "April 28th...Xuzhou Ren Xiao personally led [-] elite troops to go south via Guangling, and will arrive in Yangzhou in a few days...Now there are only [-] Xuzhou yellow scarf thieves left in Xiapi City. military……'

'Has this guy finally made his move? '

Chen Shengxu narrowed his eyes and thought sarcastically: 'It's really difficult for this fellow, I can endure it until now...'

Taipingdao's big move at the beginning of the year was really a loss for his wife and soldiers.

Not only failed to achieve the guarantee goal of all Yangzhou, but even lost half of the previously occupied Yangzhou, and even lost a commander-in-chief and 10,000+ troops.

Not to mention the battle of Yangzhou to calculate his Hanting's advanced goal...

Now most of Yangzhou has fallen into the hands of Liu Jijun. Liu Ji, who holds an army of nearly 20, can send his troops northward at any time to attack Xuzhou.

It is equivalent to the defeat of Sima Zhu, not only pitting himself, but also pitting Ren Xiao with his hands, putting Ren Xiao into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy. use!
However, Ren Xiao can't be sure yet. He Chen Shengzhi didn't know about their Taipingdao's plan for his Hanting...

It is estimated that Ren Xiao has been unable to eat or sleep well for a while now. He really couldn't stand it, so he turned his heart and led the main force to the south. He wanted a quick solution and returned after Liu Ji was resolved. The teacher confronts Hanting!
Chen Sheng guessed that Ren Xiao was able to make this determination because he saw that he was addicted to farming and couldn't extricate himself.

Of course, this is just his guess.

Whether this is the truth or not, we will wait until the information from Jizhou comes back before making a judgment.

Song Yi is nothing to be afraid of!

But Zhang Liang, it's a bit tricky!

And that Han Xin who is laying the foundation in Youzhou...

Chen Sheng pondered, stuffed the memorial into the stove beside him, turned his head and asked, "Didn't you say there are two things to report? What about the second thing?"

"Your Majesty really doesn't care about a bitch..."

Tu Shanyao pouted and looked like I was very unhappy: "I don't even ask if the concubine went out to inquire about the news or not!"

"what?"

Chen Sheng said with regret and startled: "Have you ever been out? How come I don't know at all? You said it earlier..."

You said earlier that I don't have to try to hide from you idiot every day!
"Your Majesty really still cares about a cheap concubine!"

Tu Shanyao said happily, a pair of furry ears popped out from under his hair at once.

Chen Sheng:  …

"Speak the truth first!"

he said with difficulty.

"only!"

Tu Shanyao waved his hand in a similar manner: "King Qi, there is a ruthless monster around our house, who is trying to curb the monsters, but many of the monsters that the concubine knew before have been killed by the Monster Slayer Division. So, the concubine couldn't find out the details of this ruthless monster when she went out this time, she only knew that it should have come from the north..."

"North?"

Chen Sheng frowned: "On the grassland?"

Tu Shanyao nodded his head: "If there is no accident, it should be. After all, there are big monsters with names and surnames within a radius of thousands of miles. Even if there are concubines who have never seen them, most of them have heard the names. Come to our house and open a house on the site, the concubine will be able to find out some useful information..."

Chen Sheng frowned and pondered for a few breaths, then said solemnly: "You should submit this matter to the Monster Slayer Division first, so that Jing Ke and the others will also pay more attention. You will continue to pay attention here. As soon as there is new news, report it to me immediately... Don't force it, you can find out as much as you can, don't be rash, you only have one life!"

Tu Shanyao's eyes lit up, and he was so happy that even his three big tails cocked up and kept shaking: "The cheap concubine knows that the king has a cheap concubine in his heart!"

Chen Sheng:  …

Tool Fox, are you thinking too much?
