"Subjective speculation?" Ren Zhen looked sideways at Yuan Chonghuan and said lightly: "I'm not Qi Xianggong, are you Qi Xianggong, do you know that what I said is wrong?" Even if it is speculation, I am analyzing it on the basis of historical facts, what basis do you have to accuse me of absurdity? ”

Yuan Chonghuan's eyes narrowed when he heard this.

Ren Zhen continued: "To interpret history, it is necessary to try our best to restore the truth according to the existing information. Everyone is not an ancient, there is no immersion, and there is no way to witness the objective facts, according to Lord Yuan's judgment, who is not subjective speculation? ”

Yuan Chonghuan was about to refute, but was interrupted by Ren Zhen first, "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have come first, and the ninth ancestor, isn't it the ancestor?" According to Lord Yuan's meaning, the ancestors were humiliated and can be ignored, so I have to ask, if someone digs open the ancestral grave of the Yuan family, do you Lord Yuan care?! ”

Yuan Chonghuan's expression changed drastically, and under the gaze of countless eyes, he fell into an embarrassment, and he couldn't say a word.

Confucianism pursues loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, righteousness, and honesty, and no matter how the two sides argue, they dare not move the spearhead to their ancestors. Ren Zhen's rhetorical question was sharp, he would never dare to fight back head-on, otherwise, his ancestral grave would really be dug up another day, and he couldn't say what he was suffering, but he lost his ancestors and broke his soldiers.

Seeing that Yuan Chonghuan was speechless, Ren Zhen sneered and said awe-inspiringly: "Can't the Ninth World take revenge?" The gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, the ancestors are humiliated, although they are a hundred generations, they dare not forget! ”

Yuan Chonghuan touched his nose and was difficult to argue, and when everyone in Taixue saw this scene, they all looked at each other, not knowing how to refute.

Ren Zhenyu fights the ministers, and the temple is prestigious, and this matter has long been a household name. Many people disdain this, boasting that his eloquence is extraordinary, and he will definitely be able to overpower Ren Zhen's limelight, and he will be speechless.

Today, in front of the Confucians in the capital, Ren Zhen once again spoke of lotus flowers and was aggressive, so that they could deeply see what a difficult opponent this little gentleman was.

There was silence in the room, only the sound of the wind.

Seeing that there was no one to refute, Ren Zhen looked down at the bamboo slips, intending to continue to explain the scriptures behind, when a voice suddenly floated in the distance, thick and long.

"It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and it is even more natural to avenge his ancestors. The Marquis of Blowing Water is reasonable, but is Qi Xianggong a gentleman who knows how to be loyal, filial and honest? ”

Ren Zhen's eyes froze, and when he looked up, he saw an old man in white stepping into the air.

This old man is tall and thin, with snow-white beard and fluttering eyebrows, and a fairy wind and bones, as if an immortal descended to earth, exuding a clear and dusty breath all over his body.

"He's ......"

The good man did not come, Ren Zhen frowned, stared at the old man's silver-white long eyebrows, and was speculating about his identity, at this time, all the Confucian students in the audience stood up at the same time and bowed to the old man who came.

"Meet Mr. Yuan!"

Seeing this, Ren Zhen's heart lit up, it turned out that he was the prestigious Yuan Baimei.

Yuan Baimei is knowledgeable and highly respected, and is respected as the Taishan Beidou in the Confucian academic world, and his protégés are all over the Northern Tang Dynasty. He not only has a close friendship with Confucianism, but also serves as the Taixue sacrificial wine, and is the first Confucian promoted by the imperial court, and his status is extraordinary.

Therefore, there is such a saying in the capital, "Confucianism does not worship Baimei Yuan, and Haoshou is in vain", which shows the prosperity of his prestige.

Ren Zhen had heard of Yuan Baimei's name, and even had a premonition that as a little gentleman, he would have a confrontation with Yuan Baimei sooner or later, competing for the status of the first Confucian in the capital and the back of the world.

Unexpectedly, it was today.

Yuan Baimei smiled kindly, nodded to everyone, and walked down the clouds.

He came to the front of the Taixue people and looked at Ren Zhen on the high altar in the air, his eyes shining with a sinister light.

"After Hou Ye entered Beijing, he became famous, and everyone knew about it, which made the old man so surprised. When I saw it today, he was really heroic and imposing, and he was worthy of being a closed disciple of the master. ”

When Ren Zhen heard this, he didn't get up, but just smiled, which was regarded as a salute. There was a sharp edge hidden in the other party's words, how could he not hear it.

Confucianism learns from each other and does not respect officials, so everyone calls him Mr. Xiao. Yuan Baimei deliberately asked him to blow the water marquis, avoiding the word "sir", obviously holding a shelf, reminding Ren Zhen that in front of his old man, young people are not worthy of being a gentleman.

The so-called "good life" is another hint. In Yuan Baimei's view, he is a great Confucian in the capital, highly respected, and Ren Zhen is a disciple of Confucianism, so he should take the initiative to come to the door to pay homage to show his awe and compliance. Ren Zhen was indifferent, so when they first met today, he was the first to mention this stubble, sarcastically saying that he was disrespectful and did not understand etiquette.

As for "imposing", it is sarcastic that he is sharp, does not know how to be restrained, and is too uncalm.

Finally, he mentioned that the master used Confucianism to improve his identity, and wanted to give Ren Zhen a dismissal.

I'm a master of the same generation as your teacher, in front of the old man, you'd better be interesting, don't think about moving out of the Confucian sage to scare me.

In a few words, there are so many hidden edges. Yuan Baimei is worthy of being a contemporary Confucian, and he has given full play to the subtle and euphemistic writing skills of Confucianism, and he is perfect. The ancients said that ginger is old and spicy, and honesty does not deceive people.

It's a pity that in the eyes of Ren Zhen, who has been a man in two lives, this little trick is nothing, it will only make him see clearly that Yuan Baimei is just a person with an arrogant temperament and no one in his eyes.

"The younger generation has long admired the reputation of the old gentleman, and only hates to be entangled in official business, and has never had time to visit the door. When today's lecture is over, please go to the humble house to serve tea, so that I can also ask for a lesson or two. ”

His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he sneered in his heart, you are just Dong Zhongshu's old scholar, dare to insert onions in front of me, I even calculate the Confucian sage himself, how can I put you in my eyes?

After greeting and greeting, someone from Taixue had already given up his seat, and Yuan Baimei was invited to sit down.

Yuan Baimei coughed dryly, and said: "Since it is said that you are talking about asking for advice, you don't have to change places, you are here to talk about "Spring and Autumn", the old man happens to have some opinions, and he is different from Hou Ye, you might as well confirm one or two." ”

Ren Zhen smiled silently, and said in his belly: "As soon as the little one was taught, the old one took the initiative to jump out." In this way, in front of the Confucian students in the capital, suppress the arrogance of the Yuan family's father and son, see what kind of face they have, and then consider themselves leaders! ”

I only heard Yuan Baimei say: "The dog is confused, and he lost his words for a while." However, this does not prove that Hou Ye's view itself is correct. Revenge is certainly in line with the way of loyalty and filial piety, but Qi Xianggong himself is by no means a person of loyalty and filial piety, so how can he talk about revenge for his ancestors? ”

Ren Zhen instantly understood his intentions, but he was not in a hurry to argue, just listened silently.

"Who is Qi Xianggong? During his reign, he was immoral, incompetent, and these are all recorded in the annals of history. "The Book of Songs" says that he is 'the journey of birds and beasts', just imagine this kind of morally corrupt person, how can he think of his ninth ancestor, how can he avenge his ancestors? ”
