Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 83, I am barbarian

Chunyu's family grasped Fu Nian's idea of ​​turning Confucianism into the first theory of governing the country, so he bypassed Fu Nian's good at governing the country, and instead focused on self-cultivation and debate.

"Being aggressive and greedy for fame is Chunyu's way of self-cultivation?" Ziyou said in a low voice with disdain.

Although Ziyou's voice was not loud, it was exceptionally clear except for the debate between Fu Nian and Chunyu's Confucianists. Everyone followed the sound and looked at Ziyou's position. When they saw that it was Ziyou, everyone looked away again, um, again A character not to be trifled with.

The debate between the Chunyu family and Fu Nian stopped, and the Confucian Chunyu family looked at Ziyou with angry eyes and said to Ziyou
"If you want to say that you are greedy for fame, it is not as good as Mr. Ziyou. His reputation is resounding throughout the seven countries, but his style of conduct is not like my Confucianism. My Confucianism used to advocate Zhou etiquette, but now the etiquette has collapsed. I wish to return to the Zhou Dynasty, but you said to rule the world, disregarded the etiquette and law, Confucianism taught you to grow up, but you didn't want to repay Confucianism, paraded the world wantonly, and forgot to distort my Confucianism."

Seeing Chunyu's pointing the finger at him, Ziyou was a little stunned at first, and Han Fei reminded him in a low voice

"His name is Chunyu Yi, and he is the father of Chunyu Sheng who argued with you back then."

"Oh? That's how it is." Ziyou said, his expression gradually becoming presumptuous.
"Who did I say? It turned out to be Chunyusheng's father. He really deserves to be a father and son. I once debated etiquette with Chunyusheng at the gate of ZB. Do you know the reason?"

Hearing what Ziyou said, other people also cast contemptuous looks at Chunyu Yi. After Ziyou became famous in Jixia, the debate at the city gate could not be hidden at all. Received a big gift package of contempt, but fortunately Chunyu's family still had some ability, so they quickly punished Chunyusheng and gradually downplayed the matter.

Hearing Ziyou talk about Chunyusheng, Chunyuyi was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say, Ziyou continued
"As for repaying Confucianism you said? I don't know what method to use to repay Confucianism? Is it to help the people for the sake of fame, so as to gain reputation for Confucianism, and then let people like Chun Yusheng ruin the reputation of Confucianism? Or is it that my outstanding Confucian disciples help the king govern the country in the court and let the people live and work in peace and contentment because of the reputation of Confucianism, so that people like Chun Yusheng can easily enter the court in the future?

If what you are talking about is this kind of reward, then Ziyou would rather give up his knowledge and switch to his family, this is the so-called self-cultivation or not. "

Ziyou's series of questioning made Chunyu Yi hesitant to speak, but Ziyou didn't finish his sentence but continued
"As for the Rites of Zhou, I have never heard of a river that flows forward, but never a river that flows backward. The whole world is moving forward, and you have only scratched the surface of what the sages said, and you are distorting it. A man of sage speech.

You only know that Confucius asked for self-denial and restoration of the ritual, but you don't know the profit and loss of Yin Yin due to Xia Li, you can know it.Zhou's profit and loss due to Yin Li can be known.It may be the successor of the Zhou Dynasty, even if it has lived for hundreds of generations, it can be known.

Confucius has already said that it is very clear that rituals are constantly improving. The rituals of each generation are not directly inherited from the previous generation, but have gains and losses. development, and you?They are just sticking to the words of sages and sages without considering the development of today's society. Now let's see who is the one who distorts Confucius' words?
Spreading my Confucian knowledge is what my Confucian disciples should do, not what they are forced to do, but what about you?But you want to practice the tyranny of a tyrant in Confucianism. Is this the knowledge of sages you have learned?Do I, Confucianism, advocate tyranny?Or do you want to make Confucianism a tool in your hands?
You said that I am not worthy to be a disciple of Confucianism, but I think you are. You only have small interests in your heart, you are greedy for fame, and you put the interests of your family above everything else. Now you are still talking here without shame. Who told you to distort the principles of self-cultivation of the sages here? of?

The Yishi Pavilion is a place where my great Confucianists discuss learning and the future of Confucianism. How can a villain like you enter it? Get out of here! "

When Ziyou said get out, Chunyuyi's face turned red, he hesitated, and his chest heaved up and down. Compared with a gentleman like Fu Nian, Chunyuyi could bully him, because Fu Nian would not choose to use the other party's black spots to come. When refuting the other party, he will come from the principle of self-cultivation, but Ziyou is different. If you reason with Ziyou, Ziyou may think that you are talking about benevolence and righteousness with him.

Confucian debates have always been based on the classics of the sages, and there are very few such unreasonable attacks on life as Ziyou. Before, people in Xiaoshengxianzhuang said that Ziyou was not a gentleman, and then Ziyou replied directly, I am from Chu, and I am a barbarian!Ziyou was picked up by Xunzi in the border of Chu State at the beginning, and he was right to say that he was from Chu.

I'm not afraid of gangsters with high physics, but I'm afraid that gangsters are educated, and Ziyou is the educated gangster who can fight, and Ziyou has such a flexible moral bottom line.

"Such villains really don't deserve to live in the hall, get out!" Shen Shiyu immediately scolded, they are staunch supporters of Ziyou, they see the future of Gongyang Confucianism in Ziyou, Ziyou They are still studying the bamboo slips given to them. Although they know the general meaning of Ziyou, and the kingly thing like the Great Unification is very suitable for their Gongyang family, they still don't understand this Great Unification.

Some people who supported Ziyou stood up and shouted for Chunyuyi to get out. Chunyuyi was at a loss for a moment when he saw the crowd, and saw that some people were ready to stand up and beat him up. These were Chunyu's family members. Now that Ziyou gave them a chance to fight Chunyuyi, they would naturally not let it go.

Chunyuyi finally left the hall disheartened, Fu Nian wiped the sweat from his forehead and gave Ziyou a grateful glance, Ziyou sat back in his seat again, the leader Chunyuyi ran away, Zisi Shi and Zizhang were not too embarrassed, because during the debate, Ziyou's eyes never moved from them, and they were afraid that they would be ruined like Chunyuyi.

After the debate was over, Fu Nian became the new head of Confucianism under the witness of various Confucian schools, and everyone dispersed from Yishi Pavilion. When Ziyou was about to leave, Shen Shiyu approached Ziyou. tour.

"Sir, I have something I want to ask you, sir." Shen Shiyu said to Ziyou.

"What's the matter?" Ziyou asked.

"It's about the great unification." Shen Shiyu said.

On the bamboo slips that Ziyou gave him was written a brand-new social and political theory, which was too shocking. Although Gongyang Confucians had such a vague concept, those who studied the bamboo slips also understood some of the truth, but for This so-called great unification did not understand, so Master Shen came back to ask.
