Ding Xiao got up angrily and accused Liu Chong: "The matter of establishing a reserve is the great plan of the country." It's not your turn to beak the vassal king who enjoys the shadow of the ancestors! As he spoke, he picked up the giant sword on the sword screen behind him, habitually held it in his arms, and was about to go out.

Suddenly, the armor was sonorous, the boots rumbled, and more than 20 armor soldiers poured out of nowhere outside the hall, armed with swords and swords, and rushed over to surround the hall. There were more than a dozen crossbowmen in the back, holding crossbows, aimed at Ding Xiao.

In an instant, the murderous atmosphere inside and outside the hall was vigorous, and the armor was sonorous, in order to deal with Ding Xiao, Liu Chong also made a bloody investment, and actually placed such a big battle in the capital city of Luoyang. There are only more than 20 armor soldiers, and Ding Xiao doesn't pay attention to it, but the dozen or so crossbowmen are a trouble. He turned his head, glanced at Deng Wen, who had long been frightened like gold paper, glanced at Liu Pet again, and said with a smile: "Haha, I have heard for a long time that His Royal Highness King Chen is a good crossbow, and it really deserves its reputation." ”

This is Deng Wen's mansion, but Deng Wen doesn't know when Liu Pet arranged so many ambushes, and his courage has long been frightened, if Ding Xiao dies in his own house and the news spreads, then he may not be how he died. As soon as he thought of this, with a "plop", Deng Wen knelt down, rushed over and grabbed the hem of Liu Chong's clothes, and stammered: "Your ...... Your Highness, no...... No! ”

Liu Chong disliked Deng Wen's timidity and fear, kicked him away, pressed his sword in his hand, stared at Ding Xiao and said: "A light swordsman who violates the ban with martial arts will be punished, why not?" ”

When Ding Xiao heard this, he looked directly at Liu Chong, and said awe-inspiringly: "Your Highness, doesn't you hear that 'it is close at hand, the enemy country is exhausted, and the husband is angry, and the blood is shed in five steps'?" ”

Ding Xiao was still holding the sword, and he didn't seem to have any intention of taking out the sword. But Liu Pet, who has always been quite bold, looked at Ding Xiao's cold eyes, and unexpectedly gave birth to fear, fear of unpredictable power, fear of death coming at any time.

"Your Highness!" Ding Xiao snorted again, and with an inexplicable cool breeze, I don't know what bird was startled, quacking and flying, and in the gloomy and gloomy hall, there was only a tinkling sound left.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Pet finally came back to his senses, as if he had died once, he felt cold on his back, and he didn't know when his clothes had been soaked through cold sweat. The crossbowmen outside the hall had already made a way, and Ding Xiao had disappeared, and he could only hear the chants that seemed to be proud and mocking: "The white horse drives the wine, and the silver saddle frost is sad." The sword is dusty, why do you need to look for the prince? ”

Ding Xiao! Liu Pet kept this name firmly in his heart.

On the first day of the eighth month, Jiang Hyun got up early, and after freshening up, he didn't see Jing Wei yet, so he went to Jing Wei's room with Shi A and picked him up. Jing Wei scattered his hair, and complained reluctantly: "Jiang Jun, what are you doing when you wake up this morning?" ”

When Shi A heard this, he patted the back of Jing Wei's head and said: "I said last night that today is the Taixue Debate Conference, and I will attend the meeting with Jiang Jun, I can't say, today is the time when Jiang Jun is famous all over the world!" ”

Jiang Xun sat on Jing Wei's couch, waved his hand, and said: "Zitai said that he laughed, how can he be famous all over the world, this trip is just to see the grand event." ”

Waiting for Jing Wei to get dressed, Shi Ah asked: "Jiang Jun, I have been to this Taixue debate meeting a few times, but I don't know why the day of the debate is scheduled for the first day of the new month?" ”

Jiang Hyun said: "Taixue often has debates, which are scheduled for the first day of each month, but they have only been available in recent years. In the past, Nanyang Xu Zijiang (Mingshao) and Xu Wenxiu (Mingjing) relied on their talents and strategies, set up an altar to speak, and discussed the proposition on the first day of each month, commenting on the township party, praising and deprecating current affairs, not false beauty, not hidden evil, not slanderous, able to distinguish between good and bad, can distinguish between loyalty and treachery, good and evil, or in the court, or in the opposition, are all in the evaluation. After the evaluation, everyone was convinced. Anyone who is praised has a great reputation. For a while, it attracted celebrities from all over the world to come and compete for the evaluation of two promises. The first day of the new year is called 'Yuedan Commentary'. Therefore, Taixue also imitated the good event, so the day of the debate was set on the first day of the first day of each month. ”

"I see, then Jiang Jun will definitely show his skills on this trip!" Shi A said, eager to try, even more excited than Jiang Hyun.

Jiang Hyun does have the idea of participating in the debate, but there are 30,000 scholars, and every year in mid-autumn, that is, in August, there are scholars from all over the world gathered here. With this concern, Jiang Hyun's desire to show his talents and learn has faded a lot.

While speaking, Jing Wei had already dressed and tied his hair in a bun, Shi A called Jing Zhen and Xiao Yuan again, and everyone sat on the stone table in the courtyard for breakfast, and Jiang Xun was going to take Shi A and Jing Wei out. Xiao Yuan's porridge hadn't finished yet, and when he saw Jiang Xun and the others had finished eating and left, he wanted to slip away, but he was forcibly held down by Jing Zhen, forcing him to reluctantly finish the rest of the porridge.

Before Jiang Hyun walked out of the second gate, Jing Zhen suddenly shouted: "Lang Jun, slow down!" ”

"Huh?" Jiang Hyun and the three of them turned around, but saw Jing Zhen hurriedly ran to the main room, the three of them, look at me, I look at you, just wondering, Jing Zhen ran out with Jiang Hyun's long sword.

These two steps were too fast, and the panting Jing Zhen handed over the long sword with both hands and said, "Whew...... Lang Jun, forget about the sword. ”

Jiang Xun smiled and said, "Today's Taixue Mid-Autumn Debate, the matter of the article." Moreover, Zitai's saber and Yi's saber are at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and they are unhindered. ”

"Oh!" Jing Zhen retracted her hand, this sword was carefully wiped by Jing Zhen for half a night, and seeing that Jiang Xun didn't want to bring it, she couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Seeing this, Jiang Hyun took the long sword again, drew the sword out of its sheath, and the sound was long. The hilt of this sword is one foot long, the blade is three feet five inches long, one inch and six minutes wide, the two are sharp, parallel extension, the top is gathered into a peak, the sword spine is ridged, the sword is full of dark curly cloud patterns, gold wire is used as a thread, cooked copper is the grid, and the point is decorated with pure gold, which is made by many craftsmen in the Western Regions in the past, and it is really a rare sword.

This sword has been following Jiang Xun for more than a year, and under a closer look, there are many small scratches on the sword, which have been wiped by Jing Zhen very inconspicuously, but there are only a few gaps, all of which were left during the vicious battle with Wang Qiao and others, but it is difficult to recover.

Jiang Hyun put the sword into the sheath, touched Jing Zhen's head again, and said: "The sword has the virtue of a gentleman, so the sword should be the grand event of Taixue, and wearing it will not make Zhen'er bother." ”

"Hmm!" Jing Zhen pursed her lips and smiled.

Xiao Yuan held the bowl behind him and said with a smile: "Oops! Oops! Sister Zhen'er is ashamed! ”

Zhen'er was shy, so she ran back and slapped Xiao Yuan's ass lightly twice, pouting and reproaching: "Let you talk nonsense!" ”

Xiao Yuan didn't hurt either, he was still smiling. Seeing this scene, Jiang Hyun, Shi A, and Jing Wei looked at each other and smiled, and then went out together to look north.

All the way through the south city, you will arrive at the Sanyong Lumen, the so-called Sanyong is Taixue, Mingtang, Lingtai. After passing the Lumen Gate and going east, you can see the Stone Tablet Forest and the Lingxing Gate. The last time I came to Taixue, it was to pay homage to the Stone Scripture, and later I met Zhang Che's life, so I passed through the Lingxing Gate and did not enter.

Compared with the state school and county school in the world, Taixue has a larger scale, higher regulations, and has been repeatedly expanded, but the layout is the front temple and the back yard, which is much the same. This temple is the Temple of Literature dedicated to the holy master Confucius.

Lingxing Gate is the meaning of respecting Kong as respecting the sky. Entered the Lingxing Gate, walked through the Shinto, crossed the Pan Pond, bypassed the Zun Jing Pavilion, entered the Halberd Gate, and went up along the Yongdao Danqi, which is the main hall of the Confucius Temple.

In front of Dacheng Hall is a wide square, there is a terrace built in the middle, it is the place of dancing and playing during the spring and autumn memorial service, it is surrounded by stone railings on three sides, the four corners are equipped with copper furnaces, the torch of tung oil is burned, it is not extinguished all the year round, it is night, and it is also light like day.

At this time, the terrace and the inside and outside of the Dacheng Hall were crowded with people, all of whom were scholars from all over the world who came to participate in the Mid-Autumn Debate. Looking at the crowds of people, rubbing shoulders one after another, Jiang Xun's head was a little big, and after worshipping Confucius from afar, he and Shi A and Jing Wei hurriedly went out from the side door and went directly to the school palace behind.

The school palace occupies a huge area, instinctively can accommodate 10,000 people, after several expansions to the east, west, and north, there are often 30,000 scholars to be taught here. Of course, there are only thousands of formal students, and the rest are either here for a long time to study and take classes, or they are temporary like Jiang Hyun.

There are two hundred and forty rooms in the school palace, row upon row, go straight along the Yongdao, you can see a circular field that is many times larger than the square in front of the Dacheng Palace, surrounded by bluestone slabs and spread all over the ground, there are twenty or thirty acres. The surroundings were full of people, including scholars from other places, and students wearing long robes with dark or plain square collars. At first glance, it is estimated that there are not 10,000 people. There were many people, but they were all listening quietly, and there was no noise, only the occasional conversation before each other.

There is a high altar in the center of the site, a tall cypress tree is planted on the high altar, and four apricot trees surround the high altar, which is for the apricot altar, which is built to imitate the lecture of Confucius.

Jiang Xun just entered this place, there are still forty or fifty steps away from the acocot altar, and the scholar on the altar is talking about "Yi", gushing endlessly, not as if he intends to raise his voice and shout, but the whole circular venue can be heard clearly, which has to be amazing.

Shi Ah has been here a few times, and he knew about this scene earlier, and everyone said that the people here are outstanding and have the protection of the sages, but it is not credible to think that the mysterious words of the gods and ghosts are not believable, but Shi Ah does not understand the principle, so he said: "This apricot altar is very strange, no matter where you stand, listening to the people on the altar argue, it is true and normal." ”

Jiang Hyun looked around and saw that except for the four passages left for the entrance and exit, the rest were neat and smooth high walls. This is clear: the high wall is rounded, which alludes to the acoustic principle of sound transmission. The wall is made of ground bricks with joints, smooth and flat, and the arc is excessively soft, which is conducive to the regular refraction of sound waves. In addition, the upper part of the wall is covered with glazed tiles so that the sound waves will not disappear diffusely, which creates the echo effect of the echo wall.

Jiang Hyun was surprised, he didn't want this world, this era, there are skilled craftsmen who can use the laws of nature to build such a miracle! After being amazed, he said: "This high wall surrounds it, and it has the effect of gathering sound, so the sound is not as loud as easy, and it can also be heard clearly by the students in the wall." ”

"Huh?" Jing Wei said: "Jiang Jun made fun of me again, but what does it have to do with me? ”

The three of them talked and laughed in a low voice, and then found an open space to sit down and listen. It just so happened that the scholar who spoke of "Yi" had a difficult defense with several people, and he got quite something, so he went down to the altar. Another young student came to the altar and gave a lecture. According to the usual practice, this student first introduced himself: "In the next Tai student Jiyin Dong visit, the word is righteous, recently studied the "Book of Shang", there are four of them, quite ......a feeling" After that, he talked eloquently, and what he saw was quite unique, which attracted the praise of many scholars in the audience.

After a long speech, a person under the altar stood up and asked loudly: "Is Dong Gongyi, the brother of Gongren, on the altar?" "Jiang Hyun and Shi Ah Wang, the person who spoke, less than thirty years, five locks of long hair, rich and handsome.

Dong bowed during his visit and said, "It is here, can Mr. know his brother?" "Dong Wan is in the second line of the family, and there is also a brother Dong Zhao (the word Gongren), the two of them are from the Jiyin Dong family.

The long-haired gentleman nodded, climbed on the apricot altar, and said: "I do know, in Xia Guangling Chen Lin, the word Kong Zhang, I have seen justice and all gentlemen and classmates. ”

"It turned out that the article reached Brother Kong Zhang, but I didn't know that Brother Kong Zhang was on the altar, but what advice do you have?" The person who went to the altar was Chen Lin, a native of Guangling, Xuzhou, who was quite talented and famous.

"Justice is falsely praised, but he doesn't dare to advise," Chen Lin replied: "Of the four articles of Shangshu annotated by Justice, one of them is a forgery. It's a pity, it's a pity! The tone was quite regretful, as if it meant that Dong Wan had some work in vain.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar under the altar. In the past, Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, and because of the repeated wars during the Zhou and Han dynasties, the "Book of Shang" was mostly lost. During the time of Emperor Xiaowen, Dr. Fu Sheng of Qin compiled 29 articles of "Shangshu", which is a book of Lishu and is "Jinwen Shangshu". Later Xiaojing Emperor Zilu Wang expanded the palace, invaded the former residence of Confucius, found hidden "rites", "Analects", "Filial Piety Classics", "Shangshu" and other simple books in the wall of Confucius's former residence, written for the seal script, of which "Shangshu" 29 articles, is the 12th grandson of Confucius in the past Kong Anguo to Fu Sheng to pass on the proofreading, later there are many expansions, a total of 59 articles of "Ancient Texts and Books".

Although many people of the time admired the modern text, they also regarded the articles in the "Ancient Texts and Books" as genuine works. What Dong Wan said was to select four articles in the "Ancient Texts and Books" that were not included in the "Jinwen Shangshu" or were different from the "Jinwen Shangshu", and expounded his opinions, but he did not expect that one of them was directly denied by Chen Lin as a forgery, and he was in a hurry at the moment and asked: "But what is it?" ”

Chen Lin smiled, stroked his long beard, and said leisurely: "A few years ago, Mr. Kang Cheng learned that "Xianyi Yide" was a forgery of the times. ”

Dong Wan was young in the end, couldn't hold back his anger, and hurriedly retorted: "The fifty-nine articles of the "Ancient Texts and Books" have been circulated for a long time, and there may be fallacies, but they are by no means forgeries. Again, the "Yin Benji" written by Taishi Gong has 'In the first year of Emperor Taijia, Yi Yin was Yi Xun, a wanton life, and a queen. This sentence refers to "Xian Yiyide", how can it be a forgery? ”
