Chapter 14: The Coronation of Jingshan (Part II)

After the funding session, there is free time, and "freedom" means that everything about academic research can be "freely spoken" here. Including the questioning of some schools, there are also small schools applying for research grants, some small organizations applying to become schools, etc. The Guozijian is here to review these requirements as professional approvers, because they bring together elites from various schools of thought who are qualified enough to take on this responsibility.

The Guozijian seat next to the Guya faction represents their dominant position in this congress.

Tang Apiao had stayed there before, and at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little fluctuating when he looked in that direction. He and Xiaocao's greeting post was later obtained by Lu Yan under the entanglement of Green Hui, they were not from the school, and they were not qualified to enter the venue to participate in the coronation meeting.

Cai Ye announced the beginning of the link, and at this time, the audience was silent, maybe everyone was waiting to see a good show. Every time this link is almost a "joke", it is ridiculed by everyone as a conversation after dinner. Because although Guozi Jian clearly said that everyone would be given a chance, almost no one could successfully convince them to meet their requirements. However, despite this, there are still some courageous people who want to break through the shackles of tradition and fight for research funding or the formation of schools for their own academic identity.

No, another person who was not afraid of death walked out of the standing crowd. Only the Guozijian and the people from the Five Universities had seats in the hall, and the others were standing in the open space near the exit of the shed. They also applied to the Guozijian for their own prayers.

The man was dressed as a young scholar, thin and weak, of medium stature, and his eyebrows and eyes were also delicate and upright. He walked to the open space in the middle of the hall, bowed to everyone, including the emperor on the throne, and began his narrative: "The beginning of the husband and the king is people-oriented. If the rule is the country, the country will be solid, and if the chaos is the country, the country will be in danger. This is a universal truth! ”

The opening chapter of the "people-oriented" theory of the famous politician Guan Zhong in the Spring and Autumn Period also shocked the scene, unlike the previous ones, which went straight to the topic, and there was not even a transition. When everyone heard this, they all nodded silently to show that he was reasonable. Green Hui also feels that this person should not be underestimated.

"So, where do people ——— come from?"

The scholar then threw a question to everyone, and the word 'person' deliberately lengthened the end note. Such a subdued and frustrated voice has a thought-provoking flavor, and it is easy for people to be carried away by his thoughts unconsciously.

Everyone in the room suddenly looked puzzled, either thinking about the answer or waiting for the answer.

However, instead of answering his own question, the scholar asked another question: "Since man is so important, why don't we study man as a subject, but study other things that are attached to him?" ”

The tone of rhetorical questioning, the affirmative point, although everyone thought it sounded a little weird, they also nodded cooperatively. I just still don't quite understand what he's trying to say.

"We often say that the body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also the truth that can be used everywhere!"

This sentence is reasonable, and everyone spontaneously nodded again. Green Hui was thinking at this time, what a thing he could do to sell Guanzi!

"But have you ever wondered how people came to be? Out of thin air from the mother's belly? ”

Again, it's the same question as before, about how people come to be.

As he spoke, the scholar glanced at the people present, trying to drive them to think about this issue and interact with him, only in this way can it be easier to resonate, and if there is resonance, his speech will be carried out more smoothly. However, almost everywhere the eye goes, there is an evasive look. Because although almost everyone will think about this issue, they only think about it in private, and no one would have thought that this issue would be brought up in public.

Although he was "rejected" in disguise, the scholar ignored it and continued to ask: "Have you ever thought about why human beings must go through the cave room to have a child?" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a "whoosh", and everyone began to discuss it one after another. This topic is more sensitive, especially for the conservative ancients who valued ethics and morality, strictly adhered to human dignity, and pursued harmonious human relations. It was undoubtedly a "minefield" for them, although he had not yet uttered anything more shocking!

At this time, Green Hui also probably guessed what he wanted to study, a little bit related to paleontology, but a little uncertain. Because the prototype of paleontology is probably relatively late, and the objects are all studying fossils, ancient creatures, and the like. Green Hui suddenly felt full of interest.

She observed everyone's reactions, and Lu Yan and the others seemed to be interested. Lu Hui looked at Gongsun Li Zai and Helian Zhi on the main throne again. I saw Gongsun Li staring at the man with a pair of sharp eyes, playing with a small jade porcelain cup in his hand, as if he was thinking about something, and there was no obvious emotion to show that he was very interested or felt shocking. Helian Sik's expression is similar! Dizzy, these two guys! Green Hui thought boredly.

Feeling that it was time to get straight to the point, the scholar said: "I think that since men and women need to work together to achieve things, does it mean that there is a substance in each of men and women that will achieve the formation of a new human body?" And what could this substance be? Moreover, not only can men alone, neither can men and women, at least not in our world!"

With a "buzz", the people in the field exploded like ants on a hot pot!

This can be regarded as a real minefield, all of them pointed fingers at the scholar, and they were all voices accusing him of immorality and indecent language. But despite this, no one came out to contradict him, including the people of Guozijian.

The scholar may have already guessed the reaction of the people, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to be full of enthusiasm and generously stated: "So I hope that people of insight will join me and a few of my partners in creating a discipline specializing in the study of human origins, which will definitely have a bright future." We need a lot of research to support it, and not only people, but we can also study other creatures, flowers, plants, birds and animals, as long as we know how they came to be, we can control everything and become the true master of all things..."

In the end, it can be said that he really entered the realm of selflessness, because he didn't notice that someone had stood up at all.

"Your evil art is beyond the acceptable scope of our secular ethics, people are the most sacred, how can they be studied like lowly animals, we will not know guò, we should not have heard what you just said!" It turned out that someone from the Guozijian scoring team came out to refute it.

At this time, the herd mentality made more and more people stand up to refute the scholar's remarks, shouting, "Yes, you can't get through guò, it's against the principles of heaven!" "Can't get through guò!"

The scholar was full of confidence at the beginning, but now he began to panic a little, and in the face of a somewhat uncontrollable scene, he was a little incoherent: "Studying people is for the sake of better development of people, how can it be an evil sect." And it will be successful, as long as we have the funds, we can do experiments, find two men and women to work together to find out the reason, please consider our request! ”

It's really not amazing!

"Shut up!! I didn't expect you to be literate, but you are the scum of the literati! You are trying to do this debittingly! Pull him out, and he will never be able to participate in the coronation meeting again! ”

The young man who spoke was Cai Ye's son Cai Tingzhi, and there was a vague resemblance between Mei Yujian and Cai Ye, and he was also a member of the Guozijian, and at this time he was looking righteous and wanted to completely end the scholar's remarks.

The scholar's words have indeed completely crossed the moral bottom line of this group of ancients, so no one objected to Cai Tingzhi, but everyone echoed loudly to pull the scholar out. And the heads of several schools looked like they were watching a good show, as if they had expected it, and they neither stopped nor echoed it, as if it was none of their business.

Lu Hui, who was still in high spirits just now, is now full of regret written on her face, it is undeniable that these words are indeed shocking to those pedantic ancients, but they are really too common remarks for her as a modern person with modern civilization. She was intent on watching the excitement, but she didn't expect that someone would be overturned so soon. Will anyone dare to stand up next?

While thinking about it, there were really two people who came up to take the scholar away, and the scholar struggled to shake off their hands while shouting unwillingly: "You are too old-fashioned, and our dynasty has not developed greatly because of you stubborn people, who are self-contained and unwilling to accept new things, you will definitely regret it, you will definitely regret it!" After saying that, he was already carried out of the venue.

I didn't expect that there were really such advanced people hidden in ancient times when civilization was hundreds of years behind, which was something that Green Hui did not expect. But what else could she say but to regret it?

The noisy venue was suddenly much quieter. Although everyone thought that the scholar's words were appalling, they felt a little lost in their single-minded psychology of watching the excitement, and everyone looked at each other, wondering if there would be someone else standing up.

For a long time, there was no other movement in the venue. Just when everyone thought that the conference was about to end, a young girl in a hairpin cloth skirt walked out of the crowd.

The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed very elegantly, and her round face was slightly immature and playful. She walked to the place where the scholar had stood just now, and also bowed and saluted the emperor, her demeanor was slightly nervous, she might not have seen such a big scene. After taking a deep breath, she smiled and said, "I haven't read anything, maybe not as literary as the person just now, so I'll just say it." ”

The humble attitude makes people feel good. The crowd listened quietly.

"Our village is relatively poor, and everyone has no money to go to school on their own, so we secretly go to the back of the school to eavesdrop on my husband's lectures and learn to write, because in this way we are always looked down upon by others. But I don't think the people we have there are inherently worse than others. The pride on his face seemed to glow, "We like to guess lantern riddles and word puzzles, but because of the limited number of words we know, we will always not have enough fun." As a result, our ancestors invented some games that test the brain but don't need to know too many words, called 'Brain Turn', so that everyone can participate. ”

Speaking of this, the girl took out a note from the sleeve of the coarse cloth skirt, and wrote some words on it, probably because she was afraid that she would forget what she was going to say. After opening it and looking at it, the girl continued: "This is how the 'Brain Turn' is played, for example, when I ask someone, where can a horse walk without legs? If we think about the problem in the same way as we usually think, and we can't think of an answer for a long time, we think that it is impossible for a horse to walk without legs. But if we turn our minds a little bit and think about it, the answer will come out, and that is on the 'chessboard'. ”

After the girl finished speaking, everyone looked suddenly enlightened, and felt as if it was like that. The girl was also proud, "Don't you think it's fun, in fact, you can all try it!" ”

Seeing that there was no objection from the crowd, the girl looked at the note again and asked, "What is the most satisfying thing?" ”

People driven by curiosity turned their heads to each other.

"It's money!"

"It's a beautiful woman, isn't it?"

"It's the pig in my house that gives birth to a lot of piglets!"

The answers are varied.

The girl kept shaking her head: "It's not right, it's socks!" ”

Everyone looked at each other and slapped their thighs, "Yes, why didn't you expect it, this 'satisfaction' is not the other's 'satisfaction'!" ”

Seeing that everyone was having so much fun, the girl came up with a few more questions for everyone to guess the answers. Those people feel that they have fallen into a trap every time as if they have fallen into an evil spirit, and they already feel that their brains are a little confused, and they can no longer look at these problems according to their normal thinking.

Just when everyone was full of interest, Cai Tingzhi stood up: "These low-level and interesting things are difficult to get into the hall of elegance, do you want her to become an academic?" The tone is a bit intimidating.

The girl who was still smiling just now was suddenly startled and a little frightened. She didn't expect to be poured cold water on her before she could make a formal request, but she still wanted to try it: "I don't know what your subjects are like, but I know that since this 'brain teaser' appeared in our village, everyone seems to have become smarter." Maybe it will really help us in our lives! Besides, weren't they having a good time just now? As he spoke, he pointed to the people just now.

Who knew that those people suddenly fell silent and remained silent, as if they had been shocked, and their smiles closed faster than anything else.

"It's useless for you to say it again, it's okay to play with these things after dinner, we won't get through guò!" Cai Tingzhi impatiently refused.

The girl felt that this was her only chance to fight for the interests of her village, she couldn't just give up, and just wanted to say something more, but Cai Tingzhi quickly beckoned the two people who had just taken away the scholar, ready to drive the girl out.
