Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 104 Debate
In the Han Dynasty, debates on Confucian classics were common.

From the debate between Jinwen Confucianism and Guwen Confucianism in the Western Han Dynasty, to the White Tiger Temple Conference in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the academic debate has never stopped.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the more famous debate was the debate between the great Confucian He Xiu and the great Confucian Zheng Xuan.

In addition, there are many other classic debate competitions.

For example, Zheng Xuan was once forcibly conscripted by Yuan Shao. At that time, there were many celebrities at the banquet, competing to talk about heresy, and a hundred schools of thought fought against each other.

There is also Zhuge Liang's tongue-in-cheek war against Confucianism in Jiangdong. Although it was fabricated in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is not without prototypes in history. It reflects a scene where everyone sat together and debated with each other at that time.

The real battle of Confucianism was when Fei Yi and Dong Hui, the ministers of the Ji Han Dynasty, were envoys to Soochow and made an alliance with Sun Quan. Sun Quan sent Zhuge Ke and Yang Yu to debate with them. Hard to beat.

Therefore, debates were very common in the Han Dynasty. Its functions are as follows. One is to publicize one's own theories and debate academic arguments with others.The second is to promote fame as a way of becoming famous.

The third and most important point is to achieve a certain purpose through debate.For example, the dispute between Hexiu and Zheng Xuan is the continuation of the dispute between Jinwen Confucianism and Ancient Chinese Confucianism in the Western Han Dynasty.The debate between Fei Yi and Dong Hui's mission to Soochow was to accomplish the strategic goal of uniting Wu against Wei.

Many descendants of aristocratic families gather here today, and they also have their purpose.Suppress Shen Chen to prevent him from continuing to promote his ideas of resisting Cao Cao, and avoid Cao Cao's jealousy when they want to take refuge in the court in the future.

At the same time, if Shen Chen could be suppressed, Cao Cao might be very happy. If he was happy to give them an official position and call them to Xuchang as Beijing officials, wouldn't it be great?

So it's natural to come over and smash the scene.

But to smash Shen Chen's place today is to block Shen Chen's way of speaking.

This is his avenue.

The battle for the Great Dao is a battle for life and death.

Confucius killed Shaozheng Mao in order to teach the Dao to this man.

That's why he was full of murderous intent. If he wanted to discuss martial arts, he would naturally decide whether to compete or to decide whether to live or die.

The children of the so-called aristocratic families in the crowd were momentarily bluffed by him, horrified by his aura, and retreated involuntarily.

However, not everyone is a flower from a greenhouse. There are real scholars in it. Naturally, there are also real Confucian students who have traveled all over the world, dare to hang a sword on their waist, visit famous teachers in troubled times, and learn knowledge.

For example, that Wen Xia, who came from Chaling to worship under Wang Jun's family, is a true Confucian who dared to fencing. When he saw Shen Chen threatening everyone, he stood up and said, "If it's about swords, let's all fight together." Aren't you bound to lose?"

Shen Chen smiled slightly, showing his white teeth: "Don't get me wrong, it's natural to be fair when discussing swords. One-on-one is fine. Fencing and archery are fine. But if you want to go together, then I can do it together, everyone. is not it!"

"Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Standing in the courtyard to maintain order, the twenty warriors drawn from the Huangmen Pavilion drew out their ring-shouldered knives and roared in unison.

They are all warriors fighting the enemy bravely with Cao Jun. Which one of them doesn't have three or five lives?
Born in the battlefield, the murderous aura is far beyond what ordinary people can compare.

The Confucian scholar with the highest force value here is probably Xu Shu, but when Xu Shu met the 20 of them, he could only fall down with hatred, and it was impossible to survive.

So in the face of the cries of these brave men, many scholars shrank their heads one by one.

They just remembered now that they brought soldiers and horses to kill tens of thousands of Cao Jun's elite soldiers, and even beheaded Cao Jun's generals Cao Ren and Le Jin's warriors.

If it really works, I am afraid that only Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and Huang Zu in Jingzhou can handle him.

Because Huangmenting has now expanded its troops to 2000 people, and Gan Ning also has more than 5000 people under his command, which is strong.

Except for Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Huang Zu, who each had [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, who could barely suppress him, no one could beat him.

Therefore, to a certain extent, Liu Biao protected him politically, he was not weak in military strength, and Huangmenting was now comparable to a city in terms of economy and agriculture.

If you want to suppress Shen Chen, there is no way to do it from these levels. Indeed, you can only rely on coming to debate and attacking his academic status and reputation to squeeze him out.

Thinking of this, many Confucian scholars felt a little desperate for a while.

They found that even if they were singled out with swords, even if they defeated Shen Chen and killed him, then they would definitely have no way to survive today, and even their family would have no way to survive.

After all, Deng Hong is Cai's son-in-law, and Shen Chen has thousands of soldiers and Liu Biao behind him.

Those high-level "royalists" would never mind throwing out a small family in the county as a scapegoat to calm the anger of Liu Biao and Xinye Deng's.

Even if it is Cai Maokuai who wants to kill Shen Chen more, he has to weigh it, let alone them?

So to a certain extent, Shen Chen could propose a martial arts contest with them, but they couldn't really have the courage to fight him, so they could only come to Wen Dou.

Fortunately, they came to Wendou today, even if they were overwhelmed by Shen Chen, there was no burden to propose Wendou.

The son of Hu Zheng, Hu Shang, because his father was Cai Mao's confidant, was barely the leader of these people, so he stood up and said: "If a gentleman doesn't fight, he fights and kills, what's the proper way, it's better to use writing to decide the superior. "

"Huh, what kind of gentleman doesn't fight? Distorting the holy will, talking nonsense, didn't you hear the next sentence "war must be won"?"

Shen Chen snorted coldly, let go of the sword on his waist, and walked forward slowly, saying: "But the swords on the waists of Confucian scholars such as Lang Er are just things in a basket, and they should be used as decorations. I never When you come from Xuzhou, you have seen more than [-] corpses? When Nanyang went to battle, he killed Cao Cao’s general Cao Renlejin with his hands. How dare you fight against me when you are overwhelmed by your own strength?”

When Hu Shang saw him coming, he couldn't help swallowing. Speaking of which, Shen Chen was only 12 years old, and his height was just 1.7 meters. There were many people who were taller than him, but he practiced martial arts every day. Strong and strong, with a serious face, it looks quite fierce.

What's more important is that he has the aura of fighting on the battlefield, which is far from being comparable to those greenhouse flowers. Therefore, Hu Shang said in fear: "It is agreed that the competition will be determined by words, but of course we cannot use martial arts."

"Of course."

Shen Chen came to the entrance of the hall, with majestic eyes, he looked at many Confucian scholars: "Since it is discussing the scriptures, I am not afraid. If I sit and discuss the Tao this time, then come."

As he spoke, he asked people to pull up the mat and sit cross-legged on the spot, signaling that they would also sit down and talk.

The students behind him looked at his back, and felt that the teacher was domineering, and they all looked at him with extremely reverent eyes.

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty, the Chinese civilization constructed a social hierarchy order based on the culture of "loyalty and filial piety" with agricultural civilization as the mode of production, emphasizing centralization of power.

Under such a social order, a strict hierarchical structure like a pyramid was extended, especially during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, when this level reached its peak.

From top to bottom, the emperor, the three lords, the high-ranking dignitaries, and then the local prefect, and the nobles in the county, each level is like a difficult step to cross.

What the people at the bottom can come into contact with is not even those local county magistrates and nobles in the county, but the ranks, pavilion chiefs, and village elders in the township.

The students recruited by Shen Chen are all from poor backgrounds and their social status is very low. Even a village chief or a village elder is a big figure who can decide their life and death in their eyes, let alone those wealthy families in the county.

The carriage of the Hao family passed by the village pavilion, even if they approached it, they were not allowed to approach them. If they accidentally ran into them, their lives might even be in danger.

So in their view, these are big figures that they can hardly touch in their daily life.

But it is such a big man who is being reprimanded and lectured by their teachers. How can they not make the students excited, make them feel that their studies are promising, and make them feel that their future is promising?
The scholars who came to provoke him didn't know that Shen Chen's demeanor inspired his students. They just felt that Shen Chen disgusted them, and they were all filled with righteous indignation. They started to sit down in the courtyard. all over the floor.

The house Shen Chen bought covers an area of ​​two acres. The front yard is very large, about two hundred square meters. There are several big trees planted in the yard. It is green in summer, and the floor tiles paved with bluestone slabs are neatly arranged. There were more than a dozen mats placed, because they did not expect so many people to come, so the rest of the living beings could only stand.

Those who got a seat would sit opposite Shen Chen, and those who didn't get a seat would line up first, and the villagers and scholars who watched the excitement were watching around, and behind Shen Chen were his students, and the entire courtyard was crowded with two hundred or so people. The audience was full, and they all wanted to watch a wonderful debate conference.

"Please, I'm in Liao Bai, Xiadeng County, and my name is Changsong."

The first one was about 30 years old, a young man with a sharp face and a goatee.

Shen Chen said in a deep voice: "Xuzhou Xiangben Shen Chen, I invite you."

Liao Bai asked, "I don't know what classics Xiao Lang cured?"

Shen Chen said with a smile: "Sir, he said so."

The implication is that the content is not delineated, which makes Liao Bai quite unhappy.

At that time, literati mainly studied the Seven Classics of Confucianism, and ordinary scholars had to study one book for a long time. Only when they studied thoroughly could they learn the others.

There are even some people who don’t study other things at all, and just study one book until they are old. For example, Ying Rong, a famous scholar in the state of Chen, specializes in studying "Chunqiu Zuozhuan", and has made great achievements in this book.

And only a true Confucian can study multiple scriptures clearly. What Shen Chen said means that even if you have your problems, I can solve the seven scriptures.

Being able to take the lead must have some skills. This Liao Baizhi is the Analects. At first, he wanted to be gentle and take his time, but he was overwhelmed by Shen Chen's arrogance, and immediately said: "Evil Zizhi seizes Zhu, evil Zheng Sheng It is also a disorder of Yale, and those who overthrow the country with evil words, what does Xiaolang want to do?"

This was secretly scolding himself for demagoguery, Shen Chen immediately sneered and said, "I don't know what sir is talking about?"

Liao Bai clasped his fists to the north and said, "The ministers are steadfast and careless about the court. How does the country know that the emperor is also called the son of heaven, and the law is the law of the world. Is there any reason in this world not to respect the superior? Isn't there no king and no father?"

What he said was the "Baihu Tongyi" compiled by the great Confucianism at the time and Ban Gu in the White Tiger Temple Conference. It was also the main classic that influenced the feudal civilization in 2000. It advocated the three cardinal guides and five constant rules, which had a profound impact on Song and Ming Dynasties. .

According to the words of later generations, this book is to promote the shackles of feudal rule and the chains that bind the spirit of the people, laying the foundation for China's feudal system in 2000, deified feudal order and solidified the hierarchy.

Shen Chen naturally understood what Liao Bai meant.

Cao Cao had Liu Xie in his hands, so he went to conquer the Quartet in the name of the emperor, and he went against Cao Cao, which was against the will of the court and the will of the emperor. At that time, this was called a traitor.

Although he knew that this so-called idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor was the dross of maintaining feudal rule, it was impossible for Shen Chen to oppose it, so he had to find another angle.

After thinking for a moment, he said in a cold voice, "According to what you mean, Cao Cao is the emperor?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar immediately.

Liao Bai was dumbfounded for a moment, waved his hands again and again and said: "You don't want to talk nonsense, I have absolutely no such intention."

"Da Dan, Shen Chen, how can you say such rebellious words."

Immediately, someone shouted loudly.

Those scholars who came to find fault were furious and accused Shen Chen one after another.

The surrounding people and the onlookers also looked at Shen Chen in surprise, they never thought that he would dare to say such a thing.

People in later generations may not understand the lethality caused by this sentence at that time. If we give an example, it is no different from shouting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty.

However, the Han Dynasty rarely used words to punish crimes. The great Confucian Yuan Gusheng once said something even more outrageous than this, and there is nothing wrong with it.

So as long as you can speak the truth, there is no problem.

Then Shen Chen said indifferently: "This is Mr. Liao's intention, what does it have to do with me? According to his intention, I sent troops to fight against Cao Cao, which is not only against the imperial court, but also disrupts the order of the officials. I want to ask, Cao Cao sent troops to Nanyang , is there an imperial edict?"

"Cao Sikong said in the name of the emperor."

someone said.

Shen Chen nodded: "Oh, there are a lot of people in the world who claim to serve in the name of the Son of Heaven. Let me ask you, does Cao Cao have a famous edict? Is there a Jieyue? Where is the edict? How can he represent the court, represent the emperor? Son of Heaven?"

"this this"

Liao Bai was speechless for a moment.

Now that Liu Xie doesn't even have the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, where can he issue the edict?
However, at that time, the imperial power did not depend entirely on imperial edicts, and fake Jieyue could also represent the emperor and the imperial court.

Many people know this.

The so-called fake festival yue means that the emperor gave the ministers the highest military power. They do not need to ask for instructions when fighting abroad, and they can even directly kill soldiers and local officials in the army who violated military orders.

Cao Cao was nominally following an imperial edict to seek thieves, but if he didn't have an imperial edict, taking out a Jieyue could also represent that he was going out on behalf of the emperor.

The problem is he doesn't.

Therefore, maybe Cao Cao did greet Liu Xie before his trip, but Liu Xie didn't directly issue an edict, nor did he give him a Yue, so he was conquering Nanyang in his own name, which would be untenable in legal terms.

And Liao Bai accused Shen Chen of jurisprudence from the very beginning, and Shen Chen insisted on the jurisprudence, saying that your jurisprudence is false and mine is true, use magic to defeat magic, and teach him to be a man.

Shen Chen said with a sneer: "The master said: "The one who overthrows the country with evil words" is to let everyone distinguish right from wrong, strengthen the right and eliminate evil, not to let everyone talk nonsense and confuse the public."

Liao Bai was speechless for a moment, so he bowed his hands and withdrew from the meeting.

The second one followed.

　I went to watch the game in the morning, and now I'm starting to code words.
