Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 601 The right to know Hangzhou military affairs 46
According to the layout of Jixia Academy, he fully absorbed the advantages of the lecture hall, and built the lecture hall, which became a landscape of the academy, which was very popular with the students, but some lectures were not very happy, and the students were actually a head taller than the lecturers. How embarrassing!

Wang Xiu's explanation is extremely classic, that is, the achievements of later generations are all obtained by standing on the shoulders of predecessors, that is to say, some achievements are accumulated by predecessors and passed on from generation to generation.This kind of explanation made the lecturers nod their heads one after another, and they didn't say anything more. The amphitheater explained perfectly, and the theory that the later generations stand on the shoulders of the predecessors further highlights their hard work and sincerity.

People are sometimes weird. If you change the angle of the same thing, the results you consider are completely different, or even two positive and negative directions.

Of course, some students would use his lectures to question. The most troublesome ones were the students of Jingyitang. They advocate Confucianism and reason, and they have amazing persistence. Coupled with their impulsive age, their concurrent courses cover everything, forming freaks one by one.

It is said that they are orthodox Confucian students, they have the mentality of being superior to others in the academy, but they must take courses such as arithmetic, chemistry, natural history, etc., otherwise they will not pass, even if it is a simplified course, it must be taken.This caused these students to be conservative and agile in thinking, so he had to deal with them carefully.

"Shan Chang said that in the ancient world of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, all the people were ruled by the law, and the Qin Dynasty was established by the law, and then there was a feat of sweeping the Liuhe. The virtues of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors have turned into the rule of law?" A scholar aged about eighteen or nineteen stood up and asked, his words full of provocation.

Sitting on the desk on the podium, Wang Xiu looked extremely solemn. This person was so courageous that he openly questioned his theory.Although he advocated speaking freely, he was still very unhappy, and said plainly, "Emperor Yao painted the ground as a prison. It seems to be moral, but in fact there are severe punishments. Lawless, who would be willing to suffer from your hundred steps and be willing to be tortured in the street? Therefore, the ancient rule of virtue is There are laws to abide by, violations must be investigated, and law enforcement must be strictly enforced. As time goes by, it gradually becomes a habit.”

"Shan Chang, the ancient holy emperor was a role model, and he used virtue to transform all people. The students had never heard of the law. The Jin Dynasty engraved the criminal law in the Jin Ming, but it was divided among the three families."

"One leaf knows the autumn, and one leaf blocks the eyes. You can see the curtain, but you can't see the scenery behind the curtain. Emperor Shun beheaded the Fangfeng family in Kuaiji Mountain. Just ask Fangfeng's elders, if they have no resistance in their hands, how can they be killed at will? ?Emperor Shun stood on the three-foot Longquan, established the supreme legal system, and managed the water for twelve years before he could achieve full success. Shang Jun strengthened Qin, rose to Guanzhong, and the survivors of the first emperor Fen VI ruled China. , how can we annihilate all heroes and unite Liuhe?"

"Shan Chang, the Fangfeng family is wronged, so naturally they are willing to subdue the law. Qin ruled with the legalist tyranny, and the second generation will perish."

"If you can come late, be disrespectful, how can you be polite and moral? You have a rebellious face, and you try your best to argue, how can you be willing to subdue the law? Emperor Shun used virtue to transform the common people, how can there be a three-foot Longquan, overcoming thorns and cutting the moon? Shang Junqiang Qin Biography The eighth generation, where did the second generation come from? Qin’s death was not due to severe punishments and harsh laws, but because he did not know how to adapt. Shang Jun used severe punishments and severe laws to drive farming and warfare, intending to seize the world; to annex the world, he should rest with the people and govern loosely. The first emperor still used it The old law, intensified and vicious, led to the exhaustion of the country's strength, and finally became terminally ill, it is the law that does not change."

"Also, you can't read dead books when you read books. You have to see the clues in order to learn knowledge. Just like, the Shang Jun's decree was less than [-] days, and he was killed; at that time, Qin was only in the middle of the Guanzhong, and he could arrive as scheduled in [-] days. However, it took only thirty days for Qin to rule the world, how could he know that the territory encompassing the six kingdoms was more than ten times larger, but the laws were not updated and perfected, so that good laws became evil laws."

"What the head of the mountain said is, if you don't have a sword in your hand, how can you kill someone; if you don't have a sword in your hand, how can you be killed?"

"The chief of the mountain is right. The eighth emperor of the strong Qin Dynasty, according to what that guy said, Duke Hui should have been destroyed at that time. Where did His Majesty the first emperor of Qin come from?"

"An ignorant villain who dares to refute the head of the mountain is simply ridiculous."

"I didn't see that it was all from the Classics, Poetry and Fu Hall. Those who know it all day long don't understand the general trend of the world at all."

"How can you compare with someone who is rushing to rule the world with the emperor?"

"Don't talk about it, just rule the world like him? I think it's about the same."

Many students who were leaning toward Wang Xiu snickered and discussed in low voices. The students who asked the question were blushing and almost couldn't get off the stage. He wanted to catch the loopholes in Wang Xiu's lectures and become famous in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect to be refuted in every possible way.

This student is going to be timid now, but he really can't get along. The student hurriedly said: "The study of the mind and theories are called classics and righteousness, but they are all miscellaneous studies. The head of the mountain is also a member of Confucianism. Why promote his family's theory and belittle it?" enlightenment?"

Wang Xiu raised his brows. It was unbearable for the other party to attack him because he was poor in reasoning and confused, but he still said calmly: "The study of the mind is born out of Confucianism, but it is also based on Buddhism and Taoism. It should be said that it is a collection of theories of the three schools. As for Confucius People in the door, mere ordinary people in the world, how dare you talk about the disciples of Confucius."

Wang Xiu denied that Xinxue is a Confucian classic, and he did not admit that he was a Confucianist. The whole room was shocked, everyone was shocked, it was too shocking.However, when you look back, Wang Xiu did not deny his own Confucianism, but only said that he integrated the three schools of thought into one, did not talk about Dacheng, and did not say that Confucianism is the core. As for what he means, let you to understand.

"Scholars in the pre-Qin all took the leader of a hundred schools of thought, and a hundred schools of thought contended. You have him among them, and you among them. What is a Confucian man? The master once asked Taoist Lao Tzu. Could the master also be a Taoist man? Li Si learned from Xunzi. Is it Confucianism? People in the door? I once said it and wrote it in the book. There is no example in a hundred generations, and there is no one family. The thoughts of the times will be imprisoned, and eventually slowly die."

It was even more shocking, and many people talked about it, but the few celebrities who were listening in the front row felt like a bright mirror in their hearts.

They are definitely not fools if they can get celebrities. Except for a few extreme moralists, everyone knows that Wang Xiu is right. Some of his knowledge has surpassed Confucianism. He just borrowed the name of Confucius to make it easier for scholars to accept.The Neo-Confucianism masters present knew better that the principles of the Cheng brothers were by no means as simple as Confucianism.

Not to mention anything else, the metaphysics of the Wei and Jin dynasties was also detached from Confucianism. In fact, Taoism followed nature, that is, later generations forcibly added the hat of Confucianism, which made people see it as nondescript.

What Wang Xiu said was something they did but dare not say. Although their faces were calm and even displeased, they applauded in their hearts.
