Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 137 I also have an article here

Mei Xian and Zhou An walked into Guanye Building and met many acquaintances along the way. They both bowed to each other one by one, and the other party returned the favor, but the way they looked at Mei Xian was a little strange.

With the spread of "Teacher's Tao Fu", the story of Mei Xian's departure also spread. In this story, Mei Xian was of course used as a stepping stone, reflecting Chen Hua's ability. Because of this, he So angry.

Noticing the looks of people along the way, Mei Xian felt increasingly uncomfortable, but he still kept a smile on his face, but his expression became increasingly stiff.

Zhou Ang couldn't help but remind him: "Old Mei, you have to hold back. As long as you can refute Guo Zhan and others, it will be enough to reverse your reputation in one fell swoop."

Mei Xian shook his head.

This action moved Zhou Ang's heart slightly, for fear that this old friend would do something irrational, but Mei Xian lowered his voice and said with a serious face: "My reputation is a small matter, while Huaxia's orthodoxy is a big matter. It is to rectify the name of the Chinese masters and not allow God Hu to roam free in the Middle-earth." As he spoke, he also quickened his pace.

Zhou An was startled, then laughed and said: "This old boy is really good at looking for names, but the title of this Chinese orthodoxy is a bit interesting." After thinking about it, he also quickened his pace and followed.

The Guanye Building is divided into several floors. It is a place where celebrities recite poems and make music. There are dancing girls and celebrities singing and dancing all the way. They have white jade arms and round crotches. suddenly see the light.

This floor is open, with a large hall surrounded by elegant rooms, where celebrities gather, old and young, sitting in the banquet, chatting and laughing.

When they met Mei and Zhou, everyone greeted them, but it was obvious that they were quite surprised by Mei Xian's appearance.Mei Xian and Zhou An didn't care about anything else and just found a place to sit down.

At this time, everyone had not gathered, and the rightful owner had not yet arrived, so the atmosphere was harmonious and there was no sense of confrontation.

Mei Xian observed the crowd and thought about when to take out "The Master's Statement".

He was still thinking that the atmosphere suddenly changed, and he saw Guo Zhan, Ming Fa Seng and others coming in. In addition to Ming Fa Seng, there were two eminent monks, and Chen Hua walked at the end.

Several eminent monks greeted people along the way. When they arrived at some futons, they turned around and sat on them.

Guo Zhan came to the center, bowed his hands to everyone, and said: "Thank you for coming. This disciple of mine has written an article, and I believe you have read it. In order not to offend everyone, I have the courage to hold this discussion. At the meeting of Taoism, I hope you can express your opinions and participate in this grand event together!"

After the words fell, there were a lot of comments. Guo Zhanhun didn't care. He turned around and was about to sit down in his seat. He happened to see Mei Xian and immediately smiled and signaled from a distance.

Mei Xian narrowed his eyes and politely returned the gift.

"Guo Zhan has really made good friends with Buddhism this time." Zhou An sneered from the side, "He is also good at planning, and he borrowed an article from his disciple to make it happen. This matter is actually dangerous. If you are not careful, it will arouse Hua Yi It's not a trivial matter. I don't know how many people will be involved. But Guo Zhan used the name of his disciple. Behind that disciple was the Chen family of Xiapi. If something happened, he would push the disciple and he would be killed. It’s clean, why not do it?”

In the past, when Zhou Ang said this, Mei Xian would always say that he judged a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart, but today Mei Xian didn't say it anymore, calmed down and waited silently.

When Zhou Ang saw his appearance, he stopped talking and turned to focus on the current situation——

As soon as Guo Zhan and others arrived, the discussion began. This was not an examination. No one announced the start. The people present were all celebrities, and no one dared to order them at will.

Discussing Tao sounds solemn, but in fact, it started out just like any other chat. Guo Zhan took his disciple Chen Hua and pointed at the crowd to introduce a few sentences. Then he took out the "Ode to the Master's Tao" and put aside the argument. Came out and praised him lavishly.

Following that, many celebrities who also studied Buddhism joined in, creating a happy scene.

Everyone present knew that this so-called literary meeting was actually here to discuss doctrines or, to put it harshly, to quarrel. Therefore, when they sat down, they also intentionally divided the camps. Those who supported the article were all seated away from Guo Zhan and others. Those who are close and those who are opposed are of course on the other side, so the scene before us is that of many supporters surrounding Guo Zhan and Chen Hua, talking about the words in the article and savoring Buddhism.

What they said was what they had talked about repeatedly in the past few days, and it didn't sound anything special. The opposition camp on the opposite side was gearing up and getting ready for a big fight.

At this moment, a man came from the stairs. As he walked, he said, "Brother Guo Xian, I'm sorry. Something happened in the house. I missed the time. My fault, my fault."

This man had a big belly and was dressed in casual clothes. He was followed by two burly men. Wherever he went, many celebrities stood up to greet him and called him "the governor".

This man is none other than Zhang Chu, the current governor of Xuzhou and a direct descendant of the Zhang family in Jiangdong.

"Everyone, I am here today not as a governor, but simply to admire your talent and learning. Come and listen to the discussion. Don't pay attention to me." Zhang Chu sat in the banquet with a free and easy expression, quite like a celebrity.

The Zhang family behind him had a lot of power in the early New Han Dynasty. Even the royal family paid tribute. After the death of Prime Minister Zhuge, it reached its peak for a time, but soon prospered and declined. However, a skinny camel is better than a horse. To this day, the Zhang family is a top-notch family with great influence. Zhang Chu, a direct descendant, came to Xuzhou to serve as governor and wanted to move the government south, with just a few words.

Now that he is here to discuss Taoism, everyone dare not take it lightly, and they are all speculating on the reasons behind it.

Even Chen Hua was a little hesitant. This incident could be said to have happened because of him. If something went wrong and angered the governor, the problem would be serious. He glanced at his teacher with some worry.

Unexpectedly, Guo Zhan smiled slightly and whispered: "The governor can come because I asked someone to help. You probably don't know that after the New Year, the Holy Emperor issued an edict to establish schools. Both the governor and the governor will have to refer to it for the next year's evaluation. Educational humanities, our governor is also troubled by this matter. If your article can be valued by the governor, the benefits will be so many that it is indescribable!"

"I see, the teacher has taken the trouble." Chen Hua was suddenly full of surprise and thanked him repeatedly. Guo Zhan nodded and went to greet Zhang Chu.

With the arrival of the governor, some time was spent, and the atmosphere became much more solemn. Many people present knew about the imperial edict to establish a school. Looking at this scene, one could not see the reason.

As a result, opponents immediately spoke out and criticized the "Ode to the Master's Way" with sharp words.

After a few days of preparation, these people have studied this article for a long time, analyzed word by word, and prepared many rebuttal sentences. At this time, when the debate started, it was really overwhelming. Hold your feet.

Zhang Chu listened with great interest, he already liked the matter of this celebrity, otherwise he would not have come to Guangling from Pengcheng, because this place is closer to Jianye and Jiangzuo.

However, after listening for a while, Zhang Chu's brows gradually wrinkled.

When he came this time, he originally planned to see if this article could be used as an introduction to political achievements and be used in the next evaluation. Looking at the situation now, it seems that this article cannot be used at all.

"I also read "The Master's Doctrine", and I thought it was good at first, but after hearing what these people said, it seems to be too biased towards Buddhism. Several people in power in the court have unclear attitudes towards Buddhism. With such an article, there are still It's a pity that it's a risk. The way of humanistic education is what celebrities do. Although I'm not afraid of evaluation, if I can get some help, it's a good talk. It's a pity..."

He was still thinking, but he heard Guo Zhan suddenly laugh, stood up, raised his head and faced everyone, and said calmly: "You are all masters of mysticism and Taoism. You are well versed in the classics, and everything you say makes sense. However, it is inevitable to refute for the sake of refuting, to attack for the sake of attacking, who can't refute word for word? But the difficult thing is to come up with an overall idea. My disciple's article "The Master's Tao Fu" is based on the roots of the legal system. Starting from the beginning, I talked about the changes in the way of teaching, talked about the method of education, and imagined the wonders of education..."

Everyone was eloquent and eloquent, and they were still complacent when they saw that the Buddha's group was difficult to resist. But when they heard Guo Zhan's words, they secretly thought that something was wrong and knew that they had fallen into a trap.

"Guo Zhan was holding back just now. I thought he was at a loss for words. Now it seems that he is deliberately asking us to refute him sentence by sentence, and then turn the army against him!"

"Yes, I didn't expect this person to have such thoughts. No wonder the governor is here too. It must be Guo Zhan who is pushing it behind the scenes, in order to have multiple witnesses, so that his student's articles will skyrocket!"

"Don't panic, Guo Zhan will definitely use the complete exposition of "The Master's Doctrine" as an excuse to ask us to come up with countermeasures. In a hurry, we may not be able to come up with a complete article, but it is feasible to put our heads together and give a rough outline. , enough to deal with the governor."

Everyone was talking in low voices, but Guo Zhan turned around, cupped his hands at Zhang Chu and said: "It just so happens that the governor is here. Guo does not shy away from relatives when he is a virtuous person. He is willing to seek a name for my disciple to teach him. Although he is young, this article "Teacher's Tao Fu" has clearly stated his teaching method, his ideas are clear, and he can withstand scrutiny! If anyone is not convinced, please write an essay on the spot and compare it with my disciple. Let's not make a general statement, but compare it word for word. , see which one is good and bad!”

As soon as he said this, the celebrities who had been thinking about it had to stop. They said in vain that they were not afraid of anyone, but they did not mention the difficulty of writing an article on the spot. They left the written evidence first, which was difficult to distinguish. If we really dig into it, , they wrote it on the fly, nothing compared to Chen Hua who was well prepared, but in the end he lost his reputation and made him a wedding dress.

Guo Zhan smiled when he saw this, and Chen Hua was even more delighted.

When the governor Zhang Chu heard this, his eyes lit up and he realized the value of this article.

That's integrity.

Anyone can refute, and you can find refutations for any sentence you say. However, it is easy to object, but it is not easy to make feasible suggestions. This is the significance of "Teacher's Tao Fu". By combining Confucian classics and Buddhism, a complete teacher is constructed. Dao discussion system.

"If that's the case, it's the power of education. Maybe I can..." After thinking about it, Zhang Chu was about to speak, but he heard a voice coming from the crowd -

"I also have an article on the way of teaching. Why don't you give it a try, Brother Guo, and see how it compares to the noble disciple's."
