Traversing the daily life from the Super Seminary

Chapter 475 The Little Sage Zhuang Storm Rises Part [-]

"For this, I can only say that ignorance has blinded your eyes, and ignorance has imprisoned your soul!" Xu Yi said slowly.

In fact, not only Gongsun Linglong, but most of the people present did not believe Xu Yi's words.

There are only a few truly insightful people, the leaders of this era, who seem to have gained something after hearing it.

For example, the sage Chu Nangong, the future sage-seeker Zhang Liang, and the Confucian second-in-command Yan Lu who was doing nothing.

"Hmph, you actually said that I, Gongsun Linglong, are ignorant!" Gongsun Linglong said angrily.

"Isn't it? Then I ask you, since you know the sunrise and sunset.

Where did the day come from, and where did it fall. "Xu Yi asked.

"This?"

When Gongsun Linglong heard this, her head froze for a moment, because at this moment she realized that she hadn't really thought about this issue.

This sunrise and sunset is a common imagination in life. It has existed since ancient times, and people are used to it.

It seems that it should be like this, but what is the principle, it seems that no one has ever delved into it.

"The sun hangs in the sky, so it should come from the earth and fall from the sky!"

Gongsun Linglong said hesitantly, the only time she felt that she lacked confidence.

Because even she herself thought this answer was nonsense, but she still said it.

"Then what is this day?" A mysterious smile appeared on Xu Yi's face.

"It is also said in the Pangu Zhili: The rise of the Qi of the Qing Dynasty will lead to heaven." Gongsun Linglong replied.

"Then let me ask you again, is the world we live in round or square?" Xu Yi said.

"The sky is round and the earth is round." Gongsun Linglong said four words, seemingly very determined.

"Then tell me, who proposed the round sky." Xu Yi asked.

"Naturally passed down from the ancestors?"

Gongsun Linglong replied, gently shaking the beauty folding fan in her hand, but suddenly she seemed to think of something, and her face suddenly changed.

"I asked you where the sun rises and where the sun sets, and you got it from the description of the predecessors, which can also be regarded as the words of the ancestors.

This seat asked you again about the roundness of the sky and the place, but your answer is still the words handed down from your ancestors.

Which one is the answer you came up with. "Xu Yi said, his face became more and more calm.

"There may be mistakes in the words of the ancestors, if they are wrong, how can they be passed down to the present.

Since Brother Taichu denied the words of our ancestors, then our world is not a round place, so what is it? "Gongsun Linglong asked.

"The world we are in is naturally round, a sphere." Xu Yi said indifferently.

"What about the evidence?" Gongsun Linglong asked.

"If the land is square and flat. On the same horizon, standing by the sea, when we look at a sailboat in the distance, should we look at the bow first, or the rails?" Xu Yi said.

"Of course we should see the bow first!" Gongsun Linglong said without thinking.

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, his face changed drastically, as if he had thought of something, he couldn't speak for a long time, and finally showed a complicated look on his face, and said:
"Brother Taichu has a great opinion, and Gongsun Linglong admires it."

Now that the debate has reached here, most of the people present have already shown their faces, and everyone who can enter Xiaoshengxianzhuang is not a fool.

Just as Prime Minister Li Si said, all the people present here are well-educated people with knowledge and real talents.

Xu Yi's example is easy to understand. On the same horizontal line, on the distant sea, generally speaking, what you see is the bow of the ship.

Is it just the result?If the sky is round and the earth is square, it is horizontal.

Logically speaking, what you see should be the entire body of the boat, just like two people standing at the same height and looking at each other, what you see is naturally the face of the other party.

If the land is square, what we see on the sea is undoubtedly the whole ship.

And the rail sail soars into the sky and sails across the sea.It is in a dazzling position, so you can see it at a glance.

But in fact, what we see is the bow of the ship, not the rail and sail, so the theorem of the round sky and the earth is naturally self-defeating.

If the sky is round and the place is round, what we see is the sail of the rail, but the essence is the bow of the ship, and then it becomes clear in our eyes until the whole body of the ship finally comes into view.

That's why Gongsun Linglong admits defeat, her skills are not as good as others.

Because she herself admitted the result and saw the bow first, which meant that the round sky and the place were wrong, and the truths left by her ancestors were not all correct.

He is not a mediocre person, so he quickly realized what Xu Yi meant, and he had no choice but to admit defeat, which was irrefutable.

The Confucianism and Taoism hall fell into silence for a while, because everyone was shocked and subverted by this kind of academics.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Suddenly, there was applause in the hall, the sound was not loud, but it was unusually loud. It was Xiangguo Li Si applauding.

"Mr. Taichu, Li Si admires his profound knowledge. Such a simple daily anecdote explains the profound truth of the world.

If today's reasoning is spread, Mr. Taichu will be famous all over the world, and will be included in the history of our Great Qin Dynasty. "Li Si said.

After hearing Li Si's words, everyone present clapped their hands and applauded, with respect in their eyes.

If someone later proved Xu Yi's two inferences, and also proved the accuracy.

If it really proves that our world is not the center of the universe, then the hot sun is the center.

Our world just revolves around it according to the established orbit, and the phenomenon of sunrise and sunset, day and night will appear at the same time as it rotates.

If later generations use other methods, the sky is round and the place is wrong. In fact, it is really a sphere.

If these two speculations are really correct, then the people who put forward these two conclusions.

I don't want to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the ancient sages, but at least it can last forever and be admired by future generations.

After that, the banquet continued.Everyone is a scholar, discussing knowledge one after another, but it's not like the tit-for-tat at the beginning, with sharp tongues.

After some discussion, three rounds of drinking.During this period, Li Si also intentionally or unintentionally offered an olive branch to Xu Yi, trying to hope that someone like Xu Yi would join the empire and serve the empire.

It's just that Xu Yi was not interested in these things, and his attitude was extremely indifferent, turning a blind eye to them and ignoring them.

Seeing this, Li Si didn't force it. He was also a man of reputation, so he wouldn't talk about his worth.

For a politician like him, it is either a friend or an enemy.

After the banquet was over, Li Si didn't stay long and left in a hurry.

As the leader of the Confucianism, Fu Nian naturally wanted to send Li Si off in person, and then Fu Nian came to the Lake Quqiao, walked up to Xu Yi, slightly cupped his hands and said:
"Fu Nian, thank you Mr. Taichu for breaking the siege for Confucianism!"

Afterwards, two people followed, Yan Lu, the second head of Xiaoshengxianzhuang, and Zhang Liang, the third head.

"Confucian Yan Lu, Confucian Zhang Liang, met Mr. Taichu."

Yan Lu and Zhang Liang tidied their cuffs slightly, the two said at the same time.

Xu Yi, on the other hand, was an unobservable observer, both of whom were extraordinary people.

Especially Zhang Liang, who seeks sagehood in later generations, whether in Mohism or Confucianism;
It is also the later peasant family, and the last Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, all have their shadows, leaving behind a touch of bright legend.

So in addition to the title of seeking saints, Zhang Liang also has another elegant name, which is "stirring stick".
