"No, no."

Besides, he smiled, but his heart was as heavy as lead, and there was a feeling that a storm was coming. What's even more terrifying is that he doesn't even know what he's coming.

When he arrived at Chen's mansion, he said to Pomegranate while others were not paying attention: "Don't tell the teacher about this, let alone others, I'll solve my own affairs." ”

"Hmm. But what's going on? Why should they embarrass you? Pomegranate nodded, then shook her head again.

"I don't know right now." Besides, answer honestly.

"Cut, how could you not know? It's still hidden, and where else can you hide when you see it? ”

Speaking of hiding, Pomegranate suddenly thought of something: "By the way, if you really have trouble, hide in Zhongshan Palace, and the people in the world who dare to come to Zhongshan Palace" to make trouble for you have not yet been born." ”

"We'll talk about it then." And I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Pomegranate wanted to warn him a few more words, but he saw that the little prince was there to greet them, and when he walked over, he saw that the chessboard had been set up, and it was obvious that he would have to fight a few more games.

"I heard that you saw the Flying Thief in the Zhou Mansion?" Chen Musa asked.

"That man is amazing, like a flying butterfly, coming and going freely in the air." Pomegranate recalls the scene with a dreamlike expression.

"Mr. Zhou seems to know the origin of this flying thief, but he refuses to say it explicitly." The little prince muttered.

"It's for your own good. Such mysterious characters in the rivers and lakes, we still worship ghosts and gods and stay away. Chen Musa groaned.

Zhu Yunyi asked, "Have you ever seen this kind of flying thief before?" ”

"I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it dozens of times. This kind of character comes and goes without a trace, really like a dragon swinging its tail. Fortunately, they will never harm the people, they are awe-inspiring and not terrible. It is said that the Baisha Patriarch had a close friend from outside the world, who was such a mysterious person. ”

Zhu Yunyi was puzzled: "How could Patriarch Baisha associate with these people? ”

"What do you think? These people are all characters like the Tang Ranger, who are unwilling to interact with others when they are idle, but they must keep their words and fulfill their promises, and they would rather sacrifice their lives to maintain their faith. Chen Musa said yearningly:

"During the Han Dynasty, the princess would rather bend down to make friends with him, and in the Tang Dynasty, the feudal towns were domineering and regarded the court with contempt, but they were most afraid of rangers like red line thieves, because they could take people's lives invisibly. After the Yuan Dynasty, the style of rangers gradually declined, and now they can often only hear their voices but not see their faces. ”

Besides, when they looked at each other, they couldn't imagine that a generation of great Confucians and science masters would actually yearn for the style of rangers infinitely, and the two seemed to be at odds with each other.

"What? Do you think that we must reject this kind of person in the religion? Chen Musa asked.

"The disciple is a believer of Sima Qian, so he admires those assassins and rangers in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin and Han dynasties the most." Besides, he raised his hand and said.

"The disciple is too, it's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to meet, otherwise I'd rather give up tens of thousands of gold to fellowship with him." The little prince sighed with emotion.

Pomegranate sneered, "Senior brother, you're out of the ordinary. How can such a person be tempted by gold and silver, if so, it is just Zhang Tieyi and the like, and the cultivator of the Zunfu Mansion is probably just Ye Gong Haolong. ”

"The real dragon has no chance to meet, so it's useless." The little prince stretched out his hands and sighed.

Zhu Yunyi said excitedly: "The disciple has been sitting on the side of Mr. Taiyue for a long time, and he only has Confucianism, etiquette and Taoism in his heart, and the assassins and rangers despise benevolence, righteousness and morality, and the disciples dare not agree. ”

"Assassin rangers don't have a contempt for moral righteousness, it's just that their benevolence and morality are slightly different from ordinary people." The teacher's words suddenly brightened his heart, and he continued:

"The Assassin Yu Rang in the Spring and Autumn Period once said: People treat me as a countryman, I treat people as a countryman, people treat me as a mediocre person, and I treat them as a memorial. This is the morality of the Assassin Ranger. In fact, my Confucianism does not reject this theory. ”

"Please give me a few examples." Zhu Yunyi said.

Moreover, when he cast an inquiring glance at the teacher, Chen Musa bowed his head slightly to show encouragement.

Teaching science is different from ordinary learning, the teacher is responsible for imparting puzzles, and students only need to memorize them. However, science is somewhat the same as Buddhism, which requires constant debate, cross-examination, and difficult questions between students and between teachers and students, so that they can finally argue a convincing reason.

Reasoning and reasoning are also the principles of heaven and earth.

Chen Musa talked about the Assassin Ranger, which is to open the mode of free discussion, everyone can speak freely, continue to make difficulties, argue, when can a final result be reached, the topic is considered to be over.

This model was opened by Wang Yangming, Wang Shouren recruited students are also teachers and friends, first gathered a group of students together, and then he gave a lecture, everyone discussed, if there is a convincing him, he will stand on the left, become his student, if he is not convinced, he will stand on the right, or treat the guest as a gift.

If someone who has become a student feels regretful the next day, he can regret it, stand in the guest column again, and then continue to study and discuss, and one day feel that Mr. Wang's theory is indeed the supreme principle between heaven and earth, and he can return to the student team, and this process has been repeated countless times.

This is basically the mode of lecturing in the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, first list the story of Yu Rang in detail in the Warring States Period, he is a believer of Sima Qian, and the "Historical Records" can naturally be memorized backwards, so he memorized a paragraph about Yu Rang in the "Historical Records 61 Assassin Biography".

Translated, the approximate meaning is as follows:

Yu Rang, a native of the Jin Kingdom, had previously worked with the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan, but was not well known. After leaving them, he went to work under Zhibo, who valued and doted on him.

Later, Zhibo attacked Zhao Xiangzi, Zhao Xiangzi conspired with the Han family and the Wei family to destroy Zhibo, and after destroying Zhibo, he divided Zhibo's land into three parts. Zhao Xiangzi hated Zhibo the most, and painted Zhibo's head as a wine vessel.

Yu Rang fled to the mountains and said, "Alas! Scholars give their lives for those who are confidants, and women embellish their faces for those who love them. Now that Zhibo appreciates me, I must die to avenge him in order to repay Zhibo, so that my soul will not be ashamed after death. ”

So, Yu Rang changed his name and surname, pretended to be a person sentenced to service, and mixed into Zhao Xiang** to decorate the toilet, carrying a dagger on his body, and wanted to assassinate Xiangzi. When Xiangzi went to the toilet, he suddenly felt frightened, so he grabbed the prisoner who painted the toilet and interrogated, and found that he was Yu Rang, with a murder weapon on his body, and said: "I want to avenge Zhibo!" ”

When the attendants around Xiangzi tried to kill him, Xiangzi said, "He is a righteous man, so I should be careful to avoid him." Zhibo is dead and has no descendants, but his subordinates want to avenge him, which shows that this man is a virtuous man in the world. In the end, Xiangzi still released Yu Rang.

Soon, Yu Rang painted his body again, making his skin full of sores, and swallowing charcoal to make his throat hoarse. After making his original form unrecognizable, he went to the city to beg.

When his wife saw it, she didn't recognize him. When he saw his friend on the road, he recognized him and said, "Aren't you Yu Rang?" ”

He replied, "I'm Yu Rang." ”

His friend wept for it: "With your talents, go to Xiangzi's door to serve your life, and Xiangzi will definitely be close to you and pamper you." Wouldn't it be easier for him to be close to you and pamper you, and then you do what you want? Why do you have to maim your body and suffer a lot of pain, and you want to achieve the goal of revenge on your son, isn't it too difficult! ”

Yu Rang said: "Since you have already joined him to serve his life, but you want to kill him, this is to serve the monarch with a different heart." Besides, what I have done is indeed a very difficult thing, so that I will do it precisely to shame the future generations of the world who serve the monarch with a different heart. ”

After Yu Rang left, not long after, he expected that Zhao Xiangzi should go out, so he ambushed under the bridge that Zhao Xiangzi would pass. When Xiangzi came to the bridge, the horse was suddenly frightened, and Xiangzi said, "This man must be Yu Rang." ”

sent someone to inquire, and sure enough, it was Yu Rang.

At this time, Xiangzi counted Yu Rang and said, "Didn't you ever do something under the Fan family and the Zhongxing family?" Zhibo destroyed them all, and instead of avenging them, you went to Zhibo's door to serve their orders. Now that Zhibo is dead, why are you so obsessed with avenging him? ”

Yu Rang said: "I work under the Fan family and the Bank of China clan, and the Fan family and the Bank of China treat me as an ordinary person, so I repay them like an ordinary person." Zhibo treated me as a national soldier, and I must repay him as a national soldier. ”

Xiangzi sighed and whimpered: "Alas, Yuzi, Yuzi! You have been loyal to Zhibo, and your reputation has been accomplished; And I forgive you, and enough. You better think for yourself, I won't let you go anymore! Xiangzi sent troops to surround Yu Rang.

Yu Rang said: "I have heard that a wise ruler does not hide the virtues of others, and a loyal minister is expected to die for the sake of honor. The last time you forgave me, all the people in the world praised you for your wisdom. Today, I will inevitably die, but I still hope to get your clothes and hit it to express my revenge, so that I will die without regrets. It's not what I dare to expect, I'm just daring to state my inner thoughts to you. ”

Xiangzi deeply felt that Yu Rang was righteous, so he sent someone to give Yu Rang's clothes. Yu Rang pulled out his sword, jumped three times, slashed straight down with a sword, and said, "I can repay Zhibo under Jiuquan!" With that, he slashed his sword.

When the aspirants of Zhao heard the news of Yu Rang's death, they all shed tears and whimpered.

The little prince and Zhu Yunyi were both surprised when they heard this, but Chen Musa and Pomegranate had long known that they had amazing memories and were used to it.

The Biography of the Assassins is Sima Qian's most touching article, which is also impregnated with Sima Qian's personal beliefs and emotions, and he also deeply sympathizes with them. He memorized this article with emotion, and even Chen Musa was quite moved.

Although the article is short, it is the most commonly used famous sayings and idioms in later generations, such as: the person who is a confidant dies, the woman is the one who pleases herself, the person treats me as a countryman, I repay the person with the countryman, the person meets me with everyone, and I meet with everyone.

The soul of a good article is to move people's hearts, and there is one place in this article, which is: the grace of knowing should be repaid with death.

Zhu Yunyi argued: "This doesn't count, Yu Rang is a person from the Warring States Period, at that time, Confucianism had not yet fully emerged, and the sons were parallel, so that the wind of assassins and rangers could run unimpeded." So far, my Confucianism has been unified, and I can't allow this heresy to run rampant again. ”

"Well, let me give you another example of a period when rituals and religions ruled the world. For example, the eastern slope. He befriended Zhang Fangping and Ouyang Xiu for the first time, and both of them treated him as a national soldier, and Dongpo also repaid him as a national soldier for the rest of his life. "Besides, let's talk about it:

Zhang Fangping and Ouyang Xiu belonged to two factions at that time, and the friendship between the two factions and the strict barriers were no less than the Niu Li party struggle in the Tang Dynasty, but the Dongpo brothers wandered between the two factions, and the two factions also treated each other as national soldiers, without the slightest suspicion. This relationship lasts for a lifetime between the trio ......"

When the Dongpo boy had not yet become famous, he was introduced by Ouyang Xiu, and his father Su Xun and younger brother Su Zhe went to meet Zhang Fangping, who was the governor of Yizhou as a servant at that time, hoping that the latter could help promote his reputation.

As soon as Zhang Fangping saw Su Shi and Su Zhe, he appreciated it, promised each other as a national scholar, and widely publicized the talents of the father and son among the ministers and nobles of the imperial court, and the name of "Three Sus" soon spread all over the world and was admired.

The story of Dongpo and Ouyang Xiu is well known to later generations and is rumored to be a good story in the literary world, but the story of Dongpo and Zhang Fangping is rarely known. But that alone would make the three of them equal.

"This is different, Zhang Fangping and Ouyang Xiu are both from my Confucianism, Ouyang Xiu is a Confucian giant, a generation of literary league leaders, Zhang Fangping is also a political giant, and the friendship between the two is still my Confucian internal affairs." Zhu Yunyi retorted.

"What about the internal affairs of Confucianism? The Niu Li party dispute directly cost Datang half of his life. Pomegranate was also involved, and was clearly on the sidelines.

"Dongpo also made lifelong friends with Buddha Yin, the two are like brothers, completely beyond the ordinary friendship outside the world, the difference between Confucianism and Buddhism is far greater than that of Confucianism and assassins and rangers." And continue to argue.

The little prince just watched them argue with a smile, and had no intention of intervening at all, firstly, he was not a student of Chen Musa's science, and secondly, he was not at all interested in the conflict between science and Buddhism, Taoism, and rangers.

"The intersection of the two is only a moral friendship, and it has nothing to do with Buddhism and Confucianism." Zhu Yunyi quibbled.

"What is a moral friendship, a moral person, the foundation of learning, if Confucianism and Buddhism are really incompatible, one of them is the leader of the Northern Song Dynasty literary circle, and the other is a master of Northern Song Dynasty Buddhism, how can they have a moral friendship?" Moreover, the argument clearly prevailed.

"From the perspective of academic foundation, the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are Taoism, but the paths followed are different and the methods are different. Chen Musa summed it up.

"The Tao is the foundation of righteousness, righteousness is the fruit of the Tao, where does the righteousness come from without the Tao, how can there be a friendship of morality?" And that's the final word.

Zhu Yunyi was still not convinced, but he also felt that the argument was almost impeccable, he just didn't believe that he had been personally instructed by Zhang Juzheng for many years, and he could still debate no more than a fifteen-year-old Suzhou child.

"Dongpo is not a person in my Taoism, so this can't be counted."

"According to my brother's words, Confucius and Mencius are not my Taoist people, could it be that Confucius and Mencius don't count?" And he fought back.

Pomegranate and Little Wang Ye both laughed.

Rising directly to the source of Confucianism, this counterattack is too powerful!

However, strictly speaking, Confucianism and science are not exactly the same thing, science was created by the Cheng Yi brothers at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and reached its great success by the time of Zhu Xi in the Southern Song Dynasty. Compared with traditional Confucianism, Lixue is more like Zen Buddhism, and it can even be said to be a combination of Confucianism and Zen Buddhism.

Zhu Yunyi's mouth opened and closed a few times, wanting to refute but unable to find new arguments.

"I'll give my senior brother another example of the patriarch of science in this dynasty, Patriarch Yangming can be regarded as a person in my science, right?" Besides, he asked.

Zhu Yunyi nodded, there was no doubt about this, if Wang Yangming was not a person in science, Cheng Zhu would be too lonely.

"When Wang Shouren was governor of southern Gansu, it coincided with the rebellion of King Ning. The ancestor of Yangming was not chaotic in the face of danger, and he only called the old and weak soldiers of several nearby prefectures and counties to calm Ning Wang, who had been premeditated for a long time and had elite soldiers under his command. Besides, he was calm and confident, and said confidently:

In the recital to the imperial court, Wang Shouren gave all the credit to Wang Qiong, the secretary of the military department, and did not mention Yang Tinghe, the head of the court, let alone the various ministers. Yangming Patriarch has made great achievements in the world, but he has suffered a lot of blows because he refuses to be the ruler of the dynasty, but he has always insisted on not regretting it. Wang Qiong, the secretary of the military department, was also a eunuch, and was despised by later generations, but the patriarch of Yangming was grateful to him all his life. ”

Zhu Yunyi, Xiao Wangye and Pomegranate were all stunned. The affairs of Yu Rang and Su Dongpo are recorded in the annals of history, even if they can't recite it like this, they still know about it to some extent, but the case of this dynasty, and it is a matter of the previous decades, they don't know about it.

"Teacher, is this really the case?" The little prince asked.

"This matter is not false at all, Patriarch Yangming repaid Wang Qiong's kindness for life, and Wang Qiong is indeed a member of the eunuch party. Later generations are sage-sage, and few people mention it. Chen Musa said.

These people's minds were confused for a while. It is already an amazing move for Baisha Patriarch to befriend swordsmen and the like, Wang Yangming actually treats a eunuch figure so kindly, isn't it impossible to draw a line?

The most important thing in science is morality and ethics, and Wang Shouren is really confused about right and wrong. But no one dared to comment on the matter, because they were not qualified.

"What the Yangming patriarch did is Yurang's 'death for the confidant', that is, Dongpo's lifelong repayment of the grace of knowledge. Rather than giving up the right and wrong, we must also adhere to this kind of scholarly integrity. "Besides, summarize again and knock down the sound of the hammer.

"Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty said: 'Eating horse meat and not eating horse liver is not for ignorance of taste.'" There is no need to study the matter of Patriarch Yangming in detail. Chen Musa gave a gag order.

It's not that this matter can't be used as the subject of debate, but as a descendant of Chen's science, it is a bit inappropriate to say irresponsible remarks about the patriarch of Yangming Theory, at least it is a loss of gentlemanly style.

In fact, it is difficult to tell right and wrong in this matter, if Wang Shouren is not for Wang Qiong's great help, he will not be able to use it freely in the military, and if Wang Qiong is not a member of the eunuch party, he cannot have so much power at that time, so he will not be able to help Wang Shouren.

Therefore, there is no solution to this matter in black and white, and at most we can only use Zhuangzi's theory: the other is also right and wrong, and this is also right and wrong.

Today's debate is over, it doesn't matter who is the winner, the important thing is to draw a truth, but in the end, the truth did not come out, because it involved Wang Shouren and Wang Qiong, so I had to avoid it.

"The little junior brother really has a genius that he will never forget." Zhu Yunyi gave a thumbs up.

"Then you're saying he's not as good as you?" Pomegranate chuckled.

Zhu Yunyi, intentionally or unintentionally, often showed a posture of a prince in Beijing, which made Pomegranate feel uncomfortable, and in the Zhou family, he openly challenged her, and she remembered this hatred.

Chen Musa did not evaluate the merits of the two disciples, in his opinion, Zhu Yunyi just came to his door to gild, and there was no need to cultivate more. When the time comes, Zhu Yunyi still has to return to Zhang Juzheng's side.

As for why Zhang Juzheng sent a junior disciple to study under him, Chen Musa didn't know. accepted it so calmly, just as returning Zhang Juzheng's favor.

After some debate, everyone didn't continue to play chess, and besides, they still had something in their hearts, so they quit and went home.
