Chapter 16 Hundreds of schools of thought, inclusive

Finally, Cao Shuo spoke.

"The students feel that it is very good to read Confucianism, and it is also very good to read Legalism..."Cao Shuo's eyes blinked, and he continued: "Not only Confucianism and Legalism are very good, but Taoism and Mohists are also very good!" ”

Belch... Cai Yong originally asked casually, but he never thought about it... This little guy leads to two more ... The point is that Cao Shuo's words seem to be in line with his Cai Yong's views... To a certain extent, it is consistent.

"Hmm..." Slightly stunned, Cai Yong took the initiative to squat down and asked with interest, "Do you want to talk about it?" Taoist? Legalism? Mohism? Confucianist? What are the characteristics of these doctrines? What's so good? ”

Cai Yong is a Confucian of Confucianism... But that doesn't mean he didn't study other schools.

Opposite... He has a collection of thousands of books in his home, and he has dabbled in hundreds of schools, especially Taoism... Even, he has always advocated that all schools of thought are inclusive. Of course, Cai Yong's proposition is very clear to Cao Shuo, who is familiar with this period of history.

……

Reply.

Cao Shuo began to answer.

"Taoism encompasses all existence in nature; Confucianism helps progress and self-discipline; Moxue advocates science... No, it is innovative and pragmatic; Legalism, on the other hand, is opposed to the existence of human feelings..."

Belch... Cai Yong's whole body trembled, and all Hongru trembled...

Speaking of which, the broad and profound theories of the schools turned out to be... It was explained clearly in a child's mouth in just a few words... Concise, concise... There is no rare word, but it is very reasonable.

This... For a moment, everyone put away their contempt for this six-year-old child, and when they looked at him again, their eyes were shining... It's like I'm looking forward to what he's saying.

Cao Shuo's words... It's still going on.

"As the students have seen... Confucianism is indeed very good, but compared to the eclecticism of various theories, remove the dross and leave its essence... Confucianism is still a little weaker. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Shuoba smacked his mouth. "That's why when students read... I want to read all the theories and understand them... The examples are even more thought-provoking! ”

Belch... He's still there? Food for thought? A six-year-old? Started to be "thought-provoking"?

All at once, all the erudition... They were all stunned in place, they were all a little suspicious, the words that appeared in their ears were really from this little point in front of them?

Seem... Was it intended to test him? How does it feel... It seems that he has taught him a good lesson?

Confused, everyone was a little confused for a while!

Cao Song is not surprised...

Speaking of this grandson, in addition to being diligent... The anti-heaven memory and incredible comprehension ability have long convinced him...

Son Cao Cao... Smart enough, but it seems that compared to his grandson Cao Shuo... It's a lot weaker. Is it possible, to Cao Shuo's generation? Is the Cao family really going to prosper?

Cao Song's thoughts had already flown out of the clouds...

Coincidentally, there is another person whose thoughts are the same as him, wandering away from the clouds.

Cai Yong, that's right, it's Cai Yong... This erudite Confucian, what he feels all over his body is a "refreshing spleen", which is so refreshing.

- "All theories are inclusive, remove the dross, and leave the essence..."

These words echoed in his mind for a long time...

This? This point of view... Isn't that what he and Qiao Xuan have been working towards?

Depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone... This decree during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty... I can't be wrong, but... If each school grows in an orderly and restrained manner, and gathers the strengths of hundreds of schools, won't it be able to support the future of the great empire?

This is a question worth pondering, Cai Yong and Qiao Xuan have pondered for a lifetime, but they did not dare to put it into practice... I never thought that today, from the mouth of a little guy... Lang Lang read it out.

……

It's hard to find a confidant... At this moment, Cai Yong actually felt a touch of "confidant"...

It's an amazing feeling. Once, it appeared during a conversation with Hashigen, who was over the age of six, and this was the second time... And the other party is just a six-year-old child.

"Why don't the gentlemen speak?" Cao Shuo's immature voice sounded again. "Is it wrong for the student to say it..."

Belch... Wrong? What's wrong... No, it's a pretty incisive summary.

The faculty members looked at each other... All turned their attention to Cai Yong's body, which is related to various theories? He doesn't evaluate? Who would dare to speak?

"Good, good!"

After a few more breaths, Cai Yong finally regained his mind, his eyes almost narrowed into a slit, and only two words came out of his mouth - very good.

There are no other words... All that stirred in my heart was the boiling of blood.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little strange, Cao Song hurriedly smiled and beckoned. "Quick, bring the dates, chestnuts, and guavas that have been prepared. Satisfy your cravings. ”

Dates and chestnuts are used for sacrifice in the Han Dynasty, and they are very precious, if it were not for a big family like the Cao family, they would never be able to prepare such precious fruits.

As for... Guava, that is the sowing method brought back by Zhang Qian's envoy to the Western Regions during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty...

It is not widely popular, and it is extremely rare. The price of a pomegranate on the market is as high as half a year's worth of a county order.

"Colleagues, it's been so long, eat some fruit..."Cao Song seemed extremely hospitable..."Taste the pomegranate of the Western Regions."

"Let's eat the little ones too!" Cai Yong took the initiative to pick up a guava and handed it to Cao Shuo.

"Can you give me another one?" Cao Shuo's childish words came out again.

Belch... Cao Song was stunned... This, such a precious guava was specially made for Cai Yong and other erudite Confucians to taste... He Cao Song himself is reluctant to eat... Grandson Cao Shuo is good, two in a row? Somewhat... I don't know how to be polite!

Not? Ha ha.

Cai Yong smiled lightly, took another pomegranate and handed it to Cao Shuo, but saw Cao Shuo quickly stuff the first guava into his clothes... Huge pomegranate... Bulging his chest?

"What are you?" Are all the Hongru a little stunned? This little guy? Is it so greedy? It's enough to eat one pomegranate, and you have to take another one with you? Sure enough, even if there are some talents, they are still not old and ignorant.

Thinking of this, he shook his head.

Not? What is he going to do?

Cai Yong... But he realized a hint of other meanings, lowered his head and asked Cao Shuo softly:

"Little one? This guava? Why do you want to hide one? Is it gluttony? Do you save it for the evening? ”

"Not really! This is reserved for Grandpa. Cao Shuo's eyes rolled, and his expression became pitiful, "Grandpa specially spent a lot of money to buy these pomegranates, but he was reluctant to eat them... I'm going to hide one and leave it for Grandpa to eat when the gentlemen leave. ”

Belch... Stay? Leave it for Grandpa to eat?

Cao Shuo's voice was not loud, but it was these immature words... It's like a bolt from the blue.

Call... Call...

What a sensible, filial child, and... I can also think of hiding an expensive pomegranate for Grandpa to eat... Oh my God, this little guy is so cute.

A group of Hongru looked at each other... For a while, they were all a little guilty, such sensible children, they... Mistook him for a little gluttonous cat! Sin, sin!

Actually, the reason for this... It's because Cao Shuo knows that the Han Dynasty rules the world with filial piety...

In order to gain the favor of these erudite Confucians, it is not enough to rely on knowledge, but must closely focus on the word "filial piety".

"Sun... Grandson..."Cao Song's tone became a little hoarse, and his grandson Cao Shuo... Still thinking about him, an old man... It was not in vain to cherish him so much.

Thinking of this, there are tears in the corners of my eyes, this feeling... It hasn't been there for decades.

Sure enough, when Heaven closed a door, it opened a window.

The "filial piety" that his son Cao Cao didn't experience there, just with this act of carrying a pomegranate, his grandson Cao Shuo is here... It's all done!

……

……

looked at his grandfather Cao Song's tearful appearance, and listened to the praise of a group of erudite Confucians.

Vaguely, Cao Shuo showed a smile, the purpose was achieved... In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the most practical label of "filial piety" was erected.

Need to know.

In the biography of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Shuo likes a character very much, the genius of Eastern Wu - Lu Ji.

The reason why I like him is because of Lu Jihuai's bereaved relatives and the story of filial piety to his mother...

Lu Ji, who was only six years old, met Yuan Shu in Jiujiang... Yuan Shu gave him some oranges, and Lu Ji hid three oranges in his arms... Yuan Shu asked him with a smile, aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you for stealing oranges?

Lu Ji knelt on his knees, "My mother likes to eat oranges very much, and I want to bring a few back to my mother to eat." ”

Just because of this incident, Lu Ji's filial piety is rumored all over the world... The future career has also become smooth...

It can be seen that Dahan attaches great importance to "filial piety"...

Cao Shuo just copied Lu Ji's deeds... turned oranges into guavas, plus, Oscar-like performances... It's no wonder that it can be applauded by the whole house.

Thinking of this, Cao Shuo's eyes blinked... I thought to myself, the appetizers were all ready, and it was time for the real entrance exam.

Of course, at this moment, together with Cai Yong, a group of erudite Confucians, their views on Cao Shuo have changed drastically...

Many of them even think... Six-year-old Cao Shuo? Maybe you are really qualified to enter Taixue to study.

Ahem.

Cai Yong coughed, and the whispering in the entire main hall immediately stopped, and everyone sat upright... They knew that Taixue's exam for Xiao Cao Shuo was about to begin.

"Instructor Li, come first." Cai Yong commanded...

A middle-aged man behind him took a step forward and stroked his beard slightly. "Little guy, I'm a teacher in Taixue Primary School, you can call me Uncle Li."

"Uncle Li is good." Cao Shuo is very polite, shouting and saluting at the same time, so sensible? Who doesn't love that?

"If you know, answer me, and it's okay if you don't know." Teacher Li asked the first question directly.
