"Since you are talking about the Tao, you must not do without something to help you with pleasure." As soon as Dong Zhongshu finished speaking, Qin Cheng answered.

By this time, Qin Cheng found out that Dong Zhongshu turned out to be a rather cute guy. If ordinary people encounter such a thing as the current dispute over the concept of governance, they must be angry, and then they will do everything possible to embarrass themselves and launch a brutal political-political struggle. But Dong Zhongshu was different, at this time, the first thing he thought of was to come to talk to himself!

Of course, there must be reasons for the strong momentum of the new law, but it is not excluded that Dong Zhongshu will come to the bottom first to find out and then decide how to distinguish it, but in any case, Dong Zhongshu's ability to come to discuss with Qin Cheng has already explained the uniqueness of his person.

"What does the general want to cheer up?" Dong Zhongshu saw that Qin Cheng was interested, so he asked with a smile, and he was also a little happy. The joy is not because of what Qin Cheng wants to entertain, but because of Qin Cheng's attitude.

Under normal circumstances, it is a show that it is unreasonable to meet a soldier, but if he can meet a reasonable general, how can Dong Zhongshu not like it?

Qin Cheng saw that Dong Zhongshu was in the trap, so he said: "If I win, then the doctor will help me; If the doctor wins, then I will not bother with the affairs of Confucianism and Legalism in the future. ”

Qin Cheng's words were a little vague, but he believed that Dong Zhongshu could understand them.

Dong Zhong soothed his beard and smiled, "The general is very calculating, in this way, isn't the general taking advantage of everything?" Who doesn't know that among the four initiators of the new law, all of them are talents, especially Na Dou Fei, who was said to have the style of a businessman. If the general said that you are the only one who asks about Legalism and Confucianism, is it too stingy? ”

Qin Cheng shook his head and retorted righteously: "The doctor is alone, and I am also alone, if I want the doctor to help me, I just want the doctor." Besides, the doctor is a great talent in the world, Qin is just a reckless man, and arguing with the doctor is a hard head, and there is little chance of winning, if this is the case, the doctor still doesn't let me, it's unfair! ”

"What a powerful rhetoric the general!" Dong Zhongshu exclaimed, "General, this is making the old decay unshirkable!" ”

"So the Doctor agrees?" Qin Cheng said with a smile.

Dong Zhongshu knew that it was useless to argue again, and if he argued again, I was afraid that there would really be the embarrassment of Xiucai meeting Bing, so he simply stopped entanglement, "In this way, the old man has a request." ”

"Doctor, though." Qin Cheng stretched out his hand to ask.

"Sitting and talking, supplemented by tea, it inevitably seems light. I don't know the general, can you drink alcohol? Dong Zhongshu said casually.

Qin Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "It's so good, it's exactly what I want!" Then he beckoned to the servant, "Wine!" ”

"Thank you, General!" Dong Zhongshu arched his hand, "Since the general is so upright, it would be hypocritical to say more about the old man." As he spoke, he asked, "Is the general starting first, or is the decay starting first?" ”

"The doctor is the senior, so naturally the doctor comes first." Qin Cheng said and saluted: "Today Qin Cheng is willing to be taught!" ”

Dong Zhongshu didn't dare to say anything, so he waved his sleeves and said eloquently: "Since the founding of Dayu, the law of the Central Plains has been the first priority of etiquette. By the time of the week, the etiquette system was complete, and when it was, the people knew the etiquette and shame, the world was orderly, and the court had a system, so as to become a state of etiquette, and there was a great civilization. In the Later Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius preached and said that there was a Confucian doctrine based on the Zhou rites. Confucianism is the theory of etiquette, the Son of Heaven is benevolent, the world is benevolent, the etiquette system is complete, the country is orderly, this is the wind of a great country, the way of prosperity. Now the old man is dull and dull, but he is also willing to bow down to Confucianism one or two, in order to seek heaven and harmony. ”

When Dong Zhongshu said, Qin Cheng nodded frequently, but after Dong Zhongshu finished speaking, Qin Cheng smiled slightly and said: "The words of the doctor are full of the way of the country, and I admire it in my later life." Then he changed his words and said, "Yet, Doctor, the country is orderly and courteous, but what should the country do if it wants to be strong and defeat the enemy's soldiers?" By sword or by reason? ”

"If you only talk about swords and soldiers, regardless of etiquette, the last ear is a barbarian state!"

"So, the doctor also said that swords are indispensable, right? Later students are not opposed to the etiquette system, but not only that, but the later students are very respectful of the etiquette system. But there is a saying in the late life: the etiquette system is the foundation, but with the etiquette system alone, it is possible to retreat the barbarian soldiers? ”

The two of them looked at me and said a word, generously stated, pointed out the country, and talked about the way of the world.

Beside the two of them was the servant's warm wine.

Outside the house, the world of the Han Dynasty is undergoing earth-shaking changes.

........................................

In fact, from Dong Zhongshu's objection to Qin Cheng's proposed "bet", to the end of the matter, accepting Qin Cheng's statement, he has already fallen behind, allowing Qin Cheng to take the upper hand.

Although Dong Zhongshu took the initiative to attack later, intending to regain the declining momentum, but as the so-called step by step, the more Dong Zhongshu wanted to redeem it, the more he wanted to reverse the previous disadvantage, the more he behaved inappropriately and lost his style.

On the other hand, Qin Cheng is relaxed and casual, the blade is not obvious, but he kills people at every turn, and he has completely mastered the general situation.

Therefore, this argument, from the very beginning, has been doomed.

The two of them talked, the sun and the moon changed, the stars changed, the wine boiled, the wine boiled, and the wine boiled, and they didn't sleep, it was a full two days and two nights!

In two days, Dou Fei came to the house, and Qin Cheng was not seen.

In the early morning of the third day, when the sun rose, Dong Zhongshu closed his mouth and remained silent.

Qin Cheng drank the wine in the bowl, grabbed a cake and took a bite, and beckoned Dong Zhongshu, who was contemplative, and said: "Doctor, you and I have been talking about it for two days and two nights, you should have been hungry a long time ago, eat some at will first, and I will set up a banquet later." ”

Dong Zhongshu seemed to have not heard Qin Cheng's words, and kept his head bowed and silent.

Qin Cheng didn't say much, he filled his stomach and ate with relish.

After a long time, Dong Zhongshu sighed and said to Qin Cheng: "What the general said, Confucianism is the foundation, Legalism is the system, and all walks of life are said to be a hundred schools, which is really a good word for the ages, and the old decay has never heard of it. I have read a lot of old books, but I never thought of absorbing the strengths of a hundred schools of thought into a new doctrine, and today I heard the words of the general, only to know that the old and decrepit half of his life are self-contained! After that, he bowed deeply to Qin Cheng, "It is really terrifying in the future, the talent of the general, not to mention the command of ten thousand armies, even if it is to rule the world, it is not indispensable!" ”

"Why is this the Doctor? Let the late life be ashamed. Qin Cheng put down the cake he had bitten on the side and saluted Dong Zhongshu, "What Dr. Fang Cai said: Absorb the strengths of a hundred schools of thought to become a new governing doctrine, but is it true? ”

"In front of the general, An dares to lie?" Dong Zhongshu sighed, "If you can get this doctrine, you will have no regrets in this life, but as Confucius said, 'If you ask the court, you can die at night!' ’”

"If the Doctor has this idea, why don't you go to this doctrine yourself?" Suddenly thinking of the huge impact that such a doctrine might have, Qin Cheng was a little excited and couldn't help himself.

"This is owned by the general, how can the old man steal the way of others?" Dong Zhongshu said, "Besides, I am old and old, I am afraid that I will not be able to get this masterpiece for the rest of my life." ”

Qin Cheng knows, I'm afraid the latter sentence is Dong Zhongshu's true thoughts, which of these scholars doesn't want to leave a brilliant masterpiece and influence future generations?

So Qin Cheng persuaded him: "The doctor should understand that if such a masterpiece comes out, how much impact it will have on future generations - this will be a hundred schools of thought that none of them can compare!" And I think that the great Confucians of the world are not as knowledgeable and wise as doctors, and this matter is not competent for non-doctors! ”

"The general really thinks so?" Dong Zhongshu's body trembled.

"Seriously!" Qin Cheng said firmly.

"Good! In that case, the old decay is willing to give it a try! Dong Zhongshu made up his mind.

"Thank you, Doctor!" Qin Cheng was suddenly overjoyed.

If it is said that before, Qin Cheng did not have such an idea of establishing a new school, but he didn't expect to have such a gain from a discussion with Dong Zhongshu today, which is really exciting. Thinking about what he said to Bai Xinxin before, Qin Cheng was still worried that Dong Zhongshu was a stubborn old scholar who was not easy to communicate, but he never thought that Dong Zhongshu was so easy to talk - in fact, it was not that Dong Zhongshu was good at talking, but that at this time, the great Confucian scholars were still very "simple" compared to those scholars in later generations, with extraordinary minds, and they were real gentlemen, and Dong Zhongshu was one of the outstanding ones, which made Qin Cheng have such a harvest today.

Speaking of new learning, compared to Dong Zhongshu, Qin Cheng can know better how profound the impact of such a doctrine on the history of China for the next thousand years should be! I'm afraid history will have to be rewritten for this! Therefore, he was even more excited and difficult to control, and secretly made up his mind to help Dong Zhongshu complete this great project.

"Thank you, General!" Dong Zhongshu hurriedly bowed.

The two of them looked at each other and laughed.

The general trend of the world, because of the laughter of the old and the young, turned the clouds and rain.

Talking and laughing, the tree was wiped out, after all, it was just the work of the martial arts; And the world changes color when talking and laughing, and history turns, which is the demeanor of a talented person.

Later, Qin Cheng introduced Dou Fei to Dong Zhongshu, and the two worked together to spend many years writing hundreds of new schools and prospering the world. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

"Doctor, hurry up and drink some wine to warm up, I'll have a big feast later!" Qin Cheng handed Dong Zhongshu a bottle of wine and said with a smile.

Dong Zhongshu took the wine in Qin Cheng's hand, drank it all, put down the wine bottle, shook his body a few times, and fell directly to the ground.

Qin Cheng was immediately shocked, and hurriedly asked people to carry Dong Zhongshu to the wing room for placement, and urgently asked the medical officer.

Fortunately, Dong Zhongshu is just over-exhausted, exhausted, and physically exhausted.

Dong Zhongshu slept directly for a day and a night, and never woke up in between.

Many years later, the legend that Dong Zhongshu and Qin Cheng discussed in the General's Mansion for two days and two nights, and then Dong Zhongshu fainted and was unconscious for many days. Of course, when the world thought of this scene, they would only raise their thumbs and exclaim: "What a general, what a doctor!" ”
