Chapter 510 Zhuge Liang Scolds Wang Lang! Ancestors Are Not Worthy of Imitation!

Although Guo Jia took the initiative and launched a fierce attack, Zheng Xuan was still a great scholar who was well-read and familiar with ancient and modern times. He quickly found loopholes in Guo Jia's words and counterattacked, reversing the situation again.

"Guo Situ only saw the appearance of Confucianism, but did not penetrate its essence."

After Zheng Xuan finished his discussion, he continued: "I have studied Confucianism for decades and have a rough understanding of Confucianism."

"Confucius said to become a benevolent person, Mencius said to seek righteousness, and the two words of benevolence and righteousness are the foundation of my Confucianism. The Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, rituals, laws, honor and disgrace all come from this."

"Since the Spring and Autumn Period, my glorious China has been based on Confucianism, which has made people's hearts cohesive and loyalty and filial piety flourish."

"I don't deny that there are villains who use Confucianism for personal gain, but Confucianism is not wrong, and the words and teachings of saints are not wrong."

"Guo Situ assisted His Majesty in times of crisis, and Yuan Sikong killed his father and relatives with his own hands. Isn't this the best interpretation of the two words of loyalty and filial piety?"

Guo Jia was speechless and could not refute it.

Because this is their disadvantage.

The Han Dynasty ruled the country with Confucianism. It is true that Confucianism and Legalism have various drawbacks, but the positive impact is greater, so he has been avoiding the important issues just now.

And from the bottom of his heart, he did not completely deny the idea of ​​Confucianism and Legalism. He just wanted to develop technology and select talents with new learning.

But unfortunately, this dispute between the old and the new is related to the ownership of the path of promotion, so it will only end when one side wins.

"Good! Teacher is really amazing!"

Under the debate stage, Cui Yan saw Zheng Xuan gain the upper hand and couldn't help but cheer in a low voice, feeling very excited.

The heads of other major families also smiled.

Guo Jia was speechless after his remarks. He really deserved to be the first Confucian scholar in the world.

This debate has been secured.

But at this time, an untimely voice sounded: "Zheng Gong said that Guo Situ only saw the appearance of Confucianism, but Zheng Gong is not the same?"

Everyone looked behind Guo Jia.

Pang Tong stood up, smiled slightly, and then bowed and said, "Junior Pang Tong, let me debate with Zheng Gong for the second time!"

The first debate has just ended.

It is obvious that Guo Jia did not win the debate against Zheng Xuan.

The second debate will be held by Pang Tong.

Everyone in the audience looked surprised. Pang Tong's sharp tongue was shown before the debate began. He is definitely a difficult character to deal with.

Hua Xin was a little impatient to sit still. He wanted to stand up and debate, but seeing that Zheng Xuan did not move, he had to endure it.

Zheng Xuan looked at Pang Tong with deep eyes and asked, "My friend said that I only saw the surface. What do you mean by that?"

Pang Tong smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng is right. Confucianism and Legalism do have many benefits. This is undeniable. Situ Guo has never denied it."

"Situ Guo's point of view is also very clear. Confucianism and Legalism are good, but they are no longer suitable for the current situation, and they cannot meet the needs of the development of our Han Dynasty."

"We are very clear about this, but Mr. Zheng only sees the good side of Confucianism and Legalism, but he does not see the fact that Confucianism and Legalism cannot make the Han Dynasty rich and strong."

"How can a country become rich? How can it be strong? The people can eat and wear warm clothes, the treasury is full, and the army is well-equipped and has countless cavalry!"

"However, these two points cannot be met by Confucianism and Legalism."

Pang Tong stood up and paced on the debate stage, looking calm. Then he looked at Zheng Xuan and told a story.

"When I was traveling for study, I overheard a conversation between a farmer and a scholar."

"The farmer was miserable about farm work and kept complaining. After listening, the scholar comforted him by quoting the words of a saint, saying that the saint said: God has given a great task to this person, and he should make his mind and body suffer and work hard."

"Does Zheng Gong know how the farmer answered?"

Pang Tong asked Zheng Xuan with a smile.

Zheng Xuan shook his head slowly.

Pang Tong laughed: "The farmer said: Saint, you like to talk nonsense the most, you let him try this for the rest of his life?"

"The scholar was speechless and finally left with his face covered."

"I wonder how Zheng Gong would answer the farmer's question if he were the scholar?"

Zheng Xuan lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Because this question has no answer.

No matter how much truth you tell the farmer, no matter how much you comfort him, it will not alleviate the hardship of the farmer's farm work.

Pang Tong's angle of breaking the deadlock can be described as tricky. He did not talk about the disadvantages of Confucianism and Legalism, but just told objective facts, but it was impossible to answer.

You say Confucianism is good and the words of the saints are wonderful, but can these be eaten? Can they be used as weapons? Can they resist the enemy?

And this is also the most fatal problem of Confucianism.

"When the world was in chaos and the Han Dynasty was declining, Confucianism still trapped the world in red tape. Those corrupt scholars studied the classics for a long time just to find chapters and sentences, which was useless in the chaotic world."

"In the end, it was thanks to your majesty's wisdom and bravery, the generals' bravery in killing the enemy, and the ministers' frequent strategies that we defeated all the powerful enemies and pacified the world."

"Therefore, if we want to make our Han Dynasty rich and strong, Confucianism and Legalism can only be supplementary. Only by vigorously developing new studies, improving weapons, building water conservancy, innovating farming, and strengthening national strength can we make all nations come to pay tribute!"

Although Pang Tong's face was ugly, he was passionate and particularly inspiring when he said this.

"Well said!"

Lv Bu in the audience was so excited that he couldn't help but slam the table and cheer loudly.

He didn't expect that this guy looked ugly, but his words were so pleasant to hear. It really touched his heart.

Chen Gong glared at Lu Bu, but didn't say anything.

Because he also agreed with Pang Tong's words in his heart.

Pang Tong's break is exquisite. No wonder it can be selected by the emperor to participate in the debate.

Even Lu Bu, the old man, was said to be moved, let alone other scholars under the stage. Many scholars who supported Confucianism could not help but be in contemplation after listening to Pang Tong's debate.

Hua Yan's face was quite ugly. He wanted to refute Pang Tong, but he couldn't find a point that could be refuted.

When Wang Lang saw Hua Yan, Zheng Xuan was isolated and helpless, so he took the initiative to get up and said, "You are really a tongue like a spring, so you can say this!"

"The Confucian inheritance has been inherited for a thousand years, which is the root of my Huaxia civilization.

"Now you have a lot of words, saying that the sage teachings are useless, so where is the first sacred? Where is the emperor?"

"Three outlines and five constants, loyalty and filial piety come from Confucianism and law. My big man governs the country with filial piety. Is this all wrong?"

"You are so courageous!"

Wang Lang's words were really entangled, forcibly pulled the topic, and buckled a big hat for Pang Tong.

The Great Han governing the country with filial piety. If you oppose Confucianism and law, you are opposed to the concept set by the Emperor. What do you mean?

Do you dare say that the Emperor is wrong?

Pang Tong frowned, his face sank, and Wang Lang's method was too shameless, and he couldn't refute a while.

But at this time Zhuge Liang suddenly got up.

I saw that he had a look like a torch, and looked straight at Wang Lang: "Wang Gongxiu is about to confuse the audiovisual, wantonly solution!"

"When did Shiyuan say that the saint teach is useless? Liang respects Zhougong, Confucius, etc., and also knows the importance of Confucianism to Huaxia. But today, you have disconnected the righteousness and attempts to bind the innovation path with words!"

"Zhou Gong's ritual, that is in line with the world's situation at that time; Confucius Zhou travels to preach, so as to save the troubled times."

"But now the times are changing, the situation is very different. Shouldn't it draw the essence from the thoughts of saints and be flexible, rather than sticking to dogma?"

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

"As for you mentioning the three outlines and five constants, loyalty and filial piety, I and other advocating new studies do not abandon these moral standards.

"At the same time, it is also to make the big man become rich and strong!"

"Besides, my big man governed the country with filial piety. But if the emperors knew under the spring, seeing the people were trapped in war, and the country was full of storms. Will it hope that the descendants would ignore the reality and keep the old system blindly.

"The ambition of the Emperor is to make the Han Dynasty prosperous and prosperous.

Zhuge Liang's words were fierce, and he was deafening, and rebounded Wang Lang to Guo's big hat.

But this is not over. I saw him staring sharply at Wang Lang and raised his voice:

"Wang Jingyan! He reads a poem full of poems, but at this moment ignores the facts and strong words, and ignore the life of the old system, do you feel ashamed?"

"I waited for the prosperous man, and I was ashamed! It was Ru, full of benevolence and morality, but it was a matter of obstacles to innovation, mistaken for the country and the people!

Wang Lang's face flushed, and his forehead was stunned, obviously a bit unable to hold Zhuge Liang such a fierce offensive.

But he was still forcibly supported without shrinking, gritting his teeth and refuting: "Hum! Ru is just a trustee for his rebellious move!"

"The emperors are dedicated and educated by Confucianism, and they have the prestige of the Great Man in the past. Now Ru and other tribute to subvert the tradition and start another stove.

Zhuge Liang laughed at the sky, and the laughter was full of disdain: "Wang Jingyan, it seems you are really obsessed!"

"In the past, Taiping was prosperous, but due to the old and decaying and faintness of the latecomers, the world was chaotic, and the people's creatures were coated. When is it? "

Wang Lang widened his eyes, shivered with anger, and his fingers trembled at Zhuge Liang: "Zhuge Kongming! You ... you dare to slander the Emperor's legacy so much, can you be able to afford the ancestor of the Great Han?!"

Zhuge Liang's expression was cold, his eyes were like a knife: "Light than Guan Zhong, Le Yi, just to make the Han Dynasty prosperous, what he did was for the Jiangshan Society of the Han Dynasty, and for the well -being of the people!"

"The so -called destiny is not enough, the ancestor is not enough!"

"Reform and reform is a must -have! What is the difference between a person like Ru and the crowded and pedantic, and it is different from the ghouls? Do you dare to talk about the people, the world, and the emperor here, do you feel ashamed?"

"You, you ..."

Wang Lang's lips were stunned, and he couldn't speak for a while, and his chest was fiercely undulating: "You can be nonsense!"

Zhuge Liang's steps are urgent, and the words are becoming more sharp: "When it is settled today, the people are eager to live a stable and rich life! Liang promotes the new policy and the changes in innovation is to conform to the hearts of the people. "" "

"And you, Wang Jingyan, but hiding after the old dogma, using empty morals to accuse the pace of blocking our big man.

"I have never seen this, a shameless person!"

Wang Lang's eyes were wide open, his face was as pale as paper, and his body was shaky: "You...you...Puff--!!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Wang Lang's mouth.

He staggered a few steps and fell straight backwards.

This scene shocked the whole audience!

Wang Lang...was actually vomiting blood because of what Zhuge Liang said?

"Brother Jingyan!"

Hua Xin and Bing Yuan's expressions changed drastically, and they hurried forward to support Wang Lang, but found that his breath was weak, his eyes were scattered, and he could no longer speak.

Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, and Lu Bu, Sima Yi and others in the audience were also shocked.

They all looked at Zhuge Liang with horror.

Zhuge Liang was usually gentle and rarely fought with others. Who knew that today's move would be so shocking!

Zhuge Liang did not stop at this time. His eyes swept over Zheng Xuan, Hua Xin and others, and finally looked at the people present in the audience.

"Today, Liang is not only debating with the great Confucian scholars, but also competing with this decadent and conservative concept!"

"The essence of Confucianism lies in benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and trustworthiness, in putting the people first, and in allowing all people in the world to live a stable life!"

"But now, some people have distorted it into a tool to restrain innovation and maintain their own interests. This is a great disrespect to the ancient saints!"

At this time, a scholar in the audience could not help but stand up and said with a bow: "That being said, how can Zhuge Zhongshu know that the new learning is definitely right?"

"Although Confucianism has its drawbacks, it has been maintained for many years. How can it be easily abandoned? What if the new learning is not as good as the old learning?"

Zhuge Liang looked After a pause, he responded: "If we are afraid of changes and stick to our ways, then our Han Dynasty will never be revived!"

"When Shang Yang carried out the reform, the people of Qin were not comfortable at first, but what happened in the end? Qin's national strength increased greatly, laying the foundation for unifying the world!"

"Although there will be pain in the reform, as long as the direction is correct and we persist to the end, we will surely usher in the dawn!"

"Change means life, and if not, we will die!"

After the voice fell, someone else retorted unconvincedly: "The reform that Zhuge Zhongshu said is just a paper talk! The new school is even more worthless!"

At this moment, the debate is no longer limited to the stage, but a debate with all the supporters of Confucianism present.

The debate has also spread from the dispute between the old and the new to the reform and innovation.

Zhuge Liang said without hesitation: "The foundation of the new learning lies in the four major categories of law, metallurgy, mathematics, and politics."

"It is called the new learning, but in fact it is a combination of Legalism, Mohism, and Confucianism, taking the advantages of each and eliminating the disadvantages."

"With the benevolence, righteousness, propriety and law of Confucianism as the soul, the system of Legalism as the bones, and the technology of Mohism as the flesh and blood, this-"

"It is the new learning!"
