After reading the article, Lu Kang threw the document back on the case, his eyes swept over Shen You, but he didn't speak, and said to Sun Ce lightly: "What does the general think?" ”

"If there is a new idea, it can be regarded as a new way of thinking."

"Ideas?" Lu Kang sneered: "Isn't it just far-fetched, what's new at all?" Over the centuries, there have been too many stories like this. No matter how well this kind of article is written, can it surpass Liu Xin? ”

Shen You's face was red, and he was embarrassed. No matter how eloquent he is, he doesn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Lu Kang. Sun Ce was very calm, and said unhurriedly: "Lu Gong, you are serious, you only see the part that is easy to be misunderstood, but you don't see the insight. I think you're almost buying back the pearl, and you have the disadvantage of being paranoid. ”

Lu Kang's face sank. Although he is not a great Confucian, the meaning of this article can still be seen clearly, and it is clearly for Sun Ceyan to say the Mandate of Heaven. This is also normal, Shen Youxin joined Sun Ce, made meritorious contributions, and there is nothing surprising about doing things out of line, and it has nothing to do with Sun Ce himself. He taught Shen You a few words, told him to restrain a little, and not to bewitch Sun Ce. But Sun Ce defended Shen You, which shows that Sun Ce agrees with Shen You's opinion, and it may even be that Sun Ce signaled Shen You to write it, which is not good.

A few days ago, Sun Ce swore that he would wait and see what happened, but now he can't wait to create public opinion for himself, which is a fool of him. If this is the case, the Lu family of Wujun must keep a distance from Sun Ce, and they must not be used by Sun Ce and ruin their reputation.

"Please also ask the general for advice."

"Don't dare to advise." Sun Ce said unhurriedly, as if he didn't see Lu Kang Tieqing's face. "Before answering Lu Gong's question, I want to ask Lu Gong a question, can you?"

Lu Kang's breath was a little heavy, and his gray eyebrows trembled, but he still held back his anger and nodded reluctantly. "If the general can be honest, Kang is grateful. Although Kang's morality is shallow and talented, if he can solve the general's doubts, he must know everything and say everything. ”

"Does Lu Gong believe in Shun's avoidance of Danzhu?"

Seeing that Sun Ce was still covering up, Lu Kang couldn't help the anger in his chest and blurted out. "Does it matter whether you believe or don't believe? The general is not weak in his year, but he thinks he is a big shun, don't you think it's too much? Even Wang Mang is just the Duke of Zhou. ”

Shen You changed color in shock. Lu Kang compared Sun Ce to Wang Mang, which was too much. He just wanted to refute, but Sun Ce waved his hand, signaling him not to be excited, poured another cup with his own hands, and handed it to Lu Kang.

When the words came out, Lu Kang also regretted it a little. Although he was angry, he didn't want to turn his face with Sun Ce, and he wanted to persuade Sun Ce as much as possible not to go his own way. Sun Ce is surrounded by young people, and the advantages of young people are high-spirited and promising, but there are also many shortcomings, and impulsiveness is one of them. It would be a shame if you couldn't guide them well and watch them run wild down the wrong path. Seeing that Sun Ce was not angry, it didn't seem to be as he was worried, so he breathed a sigh of relief and secretly reminded himself that he couldn't be impulsive anymore.

After Lu Kang drank two sips of water, he gradually calmed down. Sun Ce continued: "Duke Lu, although I am conceited, I don't dare to call myself Da Shun, and I have no interest in it. A few days ago, what I said to Lu Gong was from the bottom of my heart, and it has not changed now, and it will not change in the future, please rest assured that Lu Gongda. ”

Lu Kang couldn't distinguish the truth from the fake for a while, and he was suspicious.

"Lu Gong, academics are academics, try not to be involved with politics. Regarding Shun's avoidance of Danzhu, I am more concerned about the truth and falsehood, rather than who is the current Shun. I told Lu Gong that the real destiny of heaven is the hearts of the people, and winning the hearts of the people, even if you are a husband, you can also be the son of heaven. Lose the hearts of the people, although Yao Shun can also lose the world. So, what I want to ask Lu Gong is, do you think it's true or false about Shun avoiding Danzhu? ”

Seeing that Sun Ce did not mean to imitate the past and the present, Lu Kang was not in the middle, and even couldn't believe it. "The general doesn't believe that Han is the queen of Yao?"

"I don't believe it."

"Then why do you think Emperor Gao can win the world?"

"That's not what we're going to talk about today." Sun Ce grinned. "We won't discuss the mysterious issue of the Mandate of Heaven today, I just ask Lu Gong, do you believe that Shun avoided Danzhu?"

Lu Kang stared at Sun Ce for a long time, and saw that Sun Ce's eyes were clear and calm, not like a fake, and a trace of remorse flashed in his heart, feeling that he was suspected of spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and that he had lost the demeanor of an elder. His eyes flickered for a long time, and he shook his head. "I don't believe it."

"Then you mean to say that the relevant legends in the Wuhui area are all lies?"

"I don't dare to say that it's all lies, but without the scriptures to support it, I don't dare to believe it."

Sun Ce laughed, his eyes revealing a little cunning. Lu Kang didn't believe it, but he didn't want him to use this story to build momentum, so he deliberately said he didn't believe it. "Lu Gong is rigorous and honest, but how many of the so-called classics have been handed down from ancient times? According to Lu Gong's statement, the six classics are all false, because their inheritance is not supported by classics. Even if the inheritance is orderly, it does not come out of the late Qin and early Han dynasties. I can also say that these people made it up. ”

Lu Kang was speechless, stroked his beard and thought for a moment, and then asked, "Does the general believe it?" ”

"I don't dare to believe like Lu Gong, but I think I can study and look for evidence, such as monuments or ancient tombs, instead of hastily believing or not believing. What does Lu Gong think? ”

Lu Kang was thoughtful. Sun Ce explained the basic concept of archaeology. "For example, if we find a cemetery, we can tell if it was once inhabited, and we can tell if he was poor or rich from the burial goods in the tomb. If we find an old city, even if there are only remnants of the city left, as long as we can tell the general extent of the city, we can basically infer that there was once a city here, and what kind of scale it was. If a large number of jade artifacts are found, it may prove that there was once a civilization here, not a barbarian who drank blood. ”

Lu Kang bowed slightly, feeling that Sun Ce was reasonable. "The general said that Shen Zizheng's article has merit, just for this?"

"Lu Gong, although this article is superficial, it can be a brick and a jade, as long as it is reasonable, or in favor or refuted, it is okay, it is better than saying those illusory destiny. Learning is learning, and it doesn't have to be associated with the court. Lu Gong, Handan Chun, and Hu Zhao used the ancient monuments they found to correct the history of Chu, Wu Hui is talented, can't he do the same thing, maybe we can find evidence that Wu Hui has already had a saint set foot in it, and it is not a barbaric place? ”

Lu Kang's heart pounded. He is in his sixties, and he has been an official all his life, so he is too tired to suffer from the case again. But he doesn't want to go into hiding, if he can do some academic research, increase his understanding of his hometown, and even compile a more perfect history book than "Wu Yue Chunqiu" and "Yue Jue Shu", then he can also leave a name in history. The ancients were immortal, he didn't dare to expect to be virtuous and meritorious, but he could make a statement.

"The general has some truth, although Wu Hui is not as prosperous as the Central Plains culture, there are many famous people, and they are not happy with their careers, but there are many people who are interested in learning.

Seeing that Lu Kang's heart was moved, Shen You breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Sun Ce gratefully. He originally thought that he was going to be scolded by Lu Kang, but he didn't expect Sun Ce to really persuade Lu Kang. Sun Ce smiled. Debate should not only be skillful, but also momentum, and only by being rational can we be strong. Although Shen You's eloquence is good, he is Lu Kang's junior, he has a ghost in his heart, he can't be straight, and he can be strong, he has scolded Lu Kang before, and now he is not empty in his heart, there is nothing to be afraid of, he is better than Shen You in terms of momentum, and he just took this opportunity to bewitch Lu Kang to prepare for the county school and win over the scholars of Wu County. Lu Kang has a straight temperament, once he finds out that he is wrong, he feels guilty in his heart, and he will have the intention of making amends and speak better.

"Gong Lu, you came here suddenly today, didn't you just want to teach us future generations?"

Lu Kang remembered his intention and slapped his forehead. "I came here specially to be ordered by Xu Taishou to bring Xu Chun's father and son into the city for trial."

Sun Ce frowned, very polite and resolute. "Lu Gong, I'm afraid this won't work."
