Chapter Twenty-Four: Confrontation in History Class
The person who lit the powder keg was Professor Gao, who was originally going to go straight to the famous Qin general Bai Qi after introducing Shang Yang today, but when he thought that there were two students in the audience who wanted to have a good fight, on a whim, he wrote four big characters on the blackboard "On Song Xianggong". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After writing the question, Professor Gao said with a smile: "Yesterday we talked about the Battle of Song Chu Hongshui, and we also mentioned this Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants - Song Xianggong. If there was no battle of Hongshui, Song Xianggong would have been just a monarch who had done a little and had long been forgotten by the world. If it weren't for this fiasco, he wouldn't have been revered as one of the Five Tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period. ”
These two sentences may sound a little awkward, but they are very true. For this Song Xianggong, I already expressed my opinion yesterday, and now I want to hear everyone's opinion. ”
"Beep!" As soon as Professor Gao's words fell, the audience was in an uproar, and everyone focused on the two people in the first row, discussing what kind of fierce argument would break out next.
Sure enough, Mu Qiufeng slammed up from his seat and preemptively said, "For this faint king, I just want to sum it up in four words, hypocritical and stupid. ”
Obviously, Mu Qiufeng, who made the first move, chose the easiest point of view, and it is also supported by most people - denying Song Xianggong.
Professor Gao was a little disappointed, "Tell me about your opinion." ”
Mu Qiufeng glanced at Qin Ke proudly, and then said: "Song Xianggong talked about unrealistic ancient gentlemanly demeanor in the troubled times of the Spring and Autumn Period, this is hypocrisy; In order to keep the pedantic creed, not listen to the words of his subordinates, and let the state of Chu cross the river safely, resulting in passivity everywhere in military affairs, and finally defeated, this is stupidity. ”
"Well said!" As soon as Mu Qiufeng finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.
Taking a breath of relief, Mu Qiufeng continued: "If the etiquette is applied to the gentleman, it will make the gentleman's style carry forward; But if you use the wrong place like Song Xianggong, you will only bring humiliation on yourself, not only mislead the country, but also harm yourself, and become the laughing stock of future generations.
The Song State is a small country, and Song Xianggong lost the battle, proving that he still doesn't understand benevolence and righteousness well, or that he doesn't know his own strength. ”
In another warm applause from everyone, Mu Qiufeng sat down with a triumphant smile, his eyes fell on Qin Ke, the same provocation, mixed with a little heat.
Qin Ke touched his nose stupidly, and secretly sighed that this woman was really not easy to mess with.
Qiu Feng said it very well, is there any classmate who disagrees with her? If so, stand up and tell everyone. ”
Although the words were addressed to everyone, Professor Gao's gaze never took off Qin Ke's face.
As his words fell, the eyes of his classmates hit Qin Ke's body like searchlights.
Qin Ke suddenly felt that it was not necessarily a good thing to be focused on by so many people, so he stood up helplessly, and he said slowly: "I think Song Xianggong is not so unbearable. ”
Professor Gao smiled and nodded, "Tell me your reasons." ”
Qin Ke groaned slightly, and began to talk endlessly, "Although Hongshui was defeated, it was a very special defeat, and Song Xianggong twice gave up the opportunity to win in order to adhere to the rules of battle. Therefore, this defeat is rich in connotations.
The strength of the Song State was weaker than that of the Chu State, and the Battle of Hongshui was a matter of hegemony, but at such a major juncture, Song Xianggong tried his best to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor and strive to abide by the combat etiquette since the Shang and Zhou dynasties. This kind of perseverance is costly, but it is also worth it.
The ancient etiquette of war may inevitably be destroyed or abandoned, but someone must adhere to it, because the inheritance of the Chinese nation has never been uninterrupted.
After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, people reflected on hundreds of years of large-scale and brutal wars, re-judged Song Xianggong, and promoted him as one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, which is an affirmation of him. ”
Qin Ke's mouth was like a machine gun, and he couldn't stop at all.
All the students looked at Qin Ke in surprise, it was originally a mortal game, but I didn't expect to be told by this guy to get more and more alive, these theory books are not recorded, and they can still be linked to the national righteousness, everyone can only admire at this time.
It's just that they didn't expect that what Qin Ke said later surprised them even more.
"The Legend of the Ram, one of the three legends of the Spring and Autumn Period, praises the spirit of Song Xianggong's 'partial battle', 'no bad people', and 'no drums and no columns', which is to strictly abide by traditional combat etiquette."
"Wait, what do you mean by 'partial battle', 'no bad people', 'no drums, no columns'?" Mu Qiufeng suddenly asked.
Qin Ke explained with a smile: "The so-called 'partial battle' is to live on one side, set up a position, and beat the drum to fight; 'no bad people' refers to not taking advantage of the danger of others; 'no drums and no columns' refers to not attacking the enemy who is not lined up. Anything else you'd like to ask? ”
Mu Qiufeng shook his head, "No, please continue." ”
Qin Ke continued: "'No deception' is the so-called 'Battle of King Wen' that conforms to etiquette. At the critical moment, in the face of major interests, Song Xianggong was able to adhere to the rules of war, 'so the gentleman does not drum and does not form a column, and does not forget the great gift when facing major events...... Although the battle of King Wen is not enough'.
Since "The Legend of the Ram" calls the Battle of Hongshui the Battle of King Wen, how can such a monarch be summed up casually with the two simple words of hypocrisy and stupidity? ”
When others saw Qin Ke's mouth, most of them didn't understand, but they listened to what he said to be reasonable and well-founded, and when he made his statement, he was even more depressed and impassioned, all of them were moved and secretly admired, and Professor Gao listened to it with relish, nodded again and again, and secretly praised it in his heart.
Only Mu Qiufeng was still thinking about the reason to fight back, she already admired the young man in front of her, at least she couldn't memorize those awkward classical Chinese, but she didn't want to admit defeat.
After being silent for a while, she stood up and attacked Qin Ke again, "But you have to admit that Song Xianggong was defeated in the end, and it was a complete defeat, causing the Song State to completely become a second-rate country." ”
Qin Ke smiled, "Failure is indeed an indisputable fact, but at least Song Xianggong let history remember his shining points." With the mentality of success and defeat, it is one-sided to evaluate historical figures, and heroes cannot be defined by success or failure.
Although the overlord of Western Chu failed, he was still put into this book by Taishi Gong, and his evaluation of it was mixed, which shows that heroes are not judged by success or failure. ”
All the students looked at Qin Ke with almost adoring eyes, this guy is too 6, and he doesn't say anything about it, and the point of view of historical figures is also insightful, especially the sentence "Heroes cannot be defined by success or failure", which has been unanimously recognized by everyone.
Professor Gao was quite excited, and it was rare to see such an enthusiastic response from the students, but what excited him the most was the eloquent history wizard in front of him.
After teaching for so many years, except for his apprentice Mu Qiufeng, Professor Gao is the first time he has met a student with such a talent in history, and most importantly, this genius seems to be still a science student.
"I lost!" Mu Qiufeng opened his mouth in surprise, like a deflated ball, soft enough to sit on the seat.
Qin Ke smiled and stretched out a hand to Mu Qiufeng in a gentlemanly manner, "I said, don't judge heroes by success or failure, of course, you and I don't have a difference between victory and defeat, in fact, you are much better than me, and you are more promising, because after all, I am just a student who skips classes without books." ”
Looking at the bright smile on Qin Ke's face, Mu Qiufeng lost her mind for a second, but she was a girl with strong self-esteem, and decisively refused Qin Ke's helping hand.
Slowly stood up and smiled at him, "If you lose, you lose, you don't need to make excuses for me, if you can't bear this blow, how can you go further than you in the future?" ”
Qin Ke was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded vigorously, "You will definitely go further than me!" ”
"Ding-woo!" The bell rang after class, but the students in the classroom didn't have the intention of getting up and leaving, because just now, the two history students were fighting together, they listened quietly, and they didn't think it was a boring thing, on the contrary, the war of words between the two students made them talk about it with relish.
The goddess of victory has always been on Qin Ke's side, and with his incisive insights, she easily won Mu Qiufeng again.
was speechless to be refuted by Qin Ke, Mu Qiufeng was so aggrieved that he was about to shed tears, "Nasty guy, don't you know to let me?" ”
"Forehead......" Qin Ke touched his nose stupidly, originally thought that Mu Qiufeng was a very strong girl, but he didn't expect that there was also a vulnerable side.
At the end of the debate, the next class had already started, and the group of students standing outside the door opened their mouths in surprise when they heard that it was actually a history class, and they were all muttering to themselves, when did the history class at Ender University become so popular?
Qin Ke did not go back to the dormitory, but was called to the office by Professor Gao, and with him was Mu Qiufeng.
Pouring tea for the two top students, Professor Gao stared at Qin Ke with a smile on his face.
Qin Ke didn't care too much about being stared at by Professor Gao all the time, but when Mu Qiufeng's eyes were also focused, he couldn't help but break the embarrassing situation, "Professor Gao, is there something wrong with finding students?" ”
Professor Gao twisted his beard and smiled: "I said that you kid, you should be Yue'er, the historical wizard introduced to me." ”
Qin Ke smiled, "Professor Gao praised it falsely, the student is just interested in history, not a genius." ”
Professor Gao waved his hand and smiled: "With your talent, you deserve it." ”
Qin Ke still wanted to be modest, but Mu Qiufeng beside him said with a straight face: "Hmph, there is no one else here, who are you acting for?" Hey, old man Gao, didn't you say I was a wizard before? Why are you giving it to someone else now? ”
Mu Qiufeng actually called Professor Gao an old man to his face, which surprised Qin Ke, don't modern people respect their teachers? Seeing that Professor Gao did not have an angry look on his face, but seemed to have a smile, Qin Ke's surprise deepened.
It seems that these two people are not just a teacher-student relationship.
