Chapter 7: Defeating Kong Yingda

Kong Yingda's face changed instantly after reading it, and the original disdainful expression was gone. Instead, there was shock and bewilderment.

At this time, Li Chengqian asked with a smile: "Old Master Kong, the meaning of reading before and after is probably very different, right?" ”

Kong Yingda is about the Four Books and Five Classics, not to mention that it is almost the same as reciting backwards. Today, he actually capsized in front of Li Chengqian, and this face is really embarrassing.

He didn't say a word for a long time, just looked at the contract in his hand tremblingly. I don't understand why anyone would write such a contract.

So he said forcefully: "This is just a small way, and the orthodoxy in the world is the book of sages." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the right way to learn the Four Books and Five Classics. These side doors, the prince had better have less contact. ”

I don't know how far Master Confucius thinks he should learn the Four Books and the Five Classics. To be eligible to graduate from the disciple of Master Confucius? Li Chengqian asked.

"Do the whole article thoroughly, not to say that it is like a stream, but also to have questions and answers." Kong Yingda opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian.

"Since this is the case, then ask Master Confucius to ask, and the palace will answer on the spot. If there is a place in this palace that cannot be answered. Then Bengong ate this contract on the spot today, and kowtowed to Master Kong to admit his mistake. ”

"If this palace is lucky enough to win Old Master Kong, then I don't know what Old Master Kong should do?" Li Chengqian asked aggressively.

"Then I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to do with the old man?" Kong Yingda looked at Li Chengqian and asked.

"After Master Confucius is a saint, this palace naturally can't do anything that insults a saint. If the palace can answer the same questions, please ask Master Kong to donate all the books at home. Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Kong Yingda.

Hearing that Li Chengqian asked him to donate all the books at home, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant in his heart. That's the wealth of the Kong family for thousands of years, how can it be used as a bet?

Just when Kong Yingda was hesitating, Eldest Sun Chong gently pulled Li Chengqian's shirt. and whispered a few words in Li Chengqian's ear.

Then I heard Li Chengqian lower his voice and said: "Don't worry, he will never dare to use the books at home as a bet." ”

After finishing speaking, a playful smile appeared on Li Chengqian's face. This can't help but make Kong Yingda feel that Li Chengqian is making a show.

So he said without hesitation: "Okay, today the old man will bet on this game with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Old Master Kong, it's not that this palace doesn't believe in you. Let's still make a statement in black and white, and it just so happens that my father and the princes are also there. How about letting them be a mediator by the way? Li Chengqian hesitated for a moment, and then said to Kong Yingda.

This made Kong Yingda feel even more that Li Chengqian was bluffing. So without hesitation, he made a note with Li Chengqian. And Li Shimin and others will guarantee it.

After setting up the written evidence, Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Kong Yingda: "There are 20 Analects in a book, and 10,000 people will have 10,000 understandings when they read it. Maybe in some places, the palace may not understand it accurately, and ask Master Confucius to give advice. ”

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he closed his eyes slightly, as if he was waiting for Kong Yingda to come up with the question. In fact, at this time, Li Chengqian had already entered his consciousness into the super squirting system.

and directly opened the book, and dropped out all the four books and five classics. And it's the kind of annotated one.

Kong Yingda opened his mouth and asked Li Chengqian: "A spoonful of food, a scoop of drink, in the alleys, people are unbearable, and they will not change their pleasures." I don't know what to mean by this sentence? ”

This sentence is from the "Analects of Yongye". Aim high and enjoy it, even if you live in a humble alley and have simple food and clothing, what does it matter? There is no ambition without indifference, and there is no far-reaching ambition without tranquility. The pattern determines the height of life. Li Chengqian said without changing his face.

"It was cold, and then I knew that the pine and cypress withered. What should be explained? Kong Yingda continued to ask.

This sentence is from the Analects of Zihan. Difficult environments and difficult moments can test a person's character the most. Only by persevering and not giving up lightly can we achieve something. Li Chengqian continued to reply.

"The beneficiary has three friends, and the loser has three friends. Friendship, friendship, friendship, and benefit; Friendliness, friendliness, friendliness, and damage. ”

This sentence is from the Analects of Ji. As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, what kind of friends they make, what kind of people they are likely to become. Good friends can promote each other and make progress together, on the contrary, poor choice of friends will eventually affect themselves. ”

……

……

……

In this way, Kong Yingda and Li Chengqian asked and answered, and asked dozens of questions in a blink of an eye. And Li Chengqian can answer every question fluently. And without the slightest hesitation.

Not only Kong Yingda was shocked at this moment, but even Li Shimin was a little stunned. I didn't expect that my son, I still have this ability.

At this time, Kong Yingda no longer continued to ask, but sighed and said: "Sure enough, it is the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is knowledgeable, and the old man naturally can't catch up." ”

"Since Master Confucius feels that he has lost, then I don't know when to send the collection of books in your home to the palace. The palace also wants to build a library in the country. Li Chengqian opened his mouth and asked Kong Yingda.

"The old man is a dignified gentleman, since he is betting against His Royal Highness the Prince, he naturally can't lose his words. The old man will immediately arrange for Kong Zhiyuan to give the books at home to His Royal Highness the Prince. Although Kong Yingda spoke beautifully, his face was already very ugly.

At this time, Li Shimin said: "Don't you have that printing technique? After Kong Aiqing's books are delivered, you find someone to print them all. It's good to return it to Kong Aiqing. After all, doesn't a gentleman win people's love? ”

"Since the father and emperor have spoken, Na Cheng can only follow the order. It's just a pity that those lonely books missed me. Li Chengqian said with a reluctant expression.

Kong Yingda is absolutely grateful to Li Shimin. If you can keep those books at home, you won't become a sinner of the Confucian family through the ages.

So he opened his mouth and thanked Li Shimin and said: "Thank you for the emperor's compassion for the ministers, the ministers will definitely be full of liver and brains from now on and solve problems for the emperor." ”

This time, Kong Yingda's attitude towards Li Shimin no longer has the original arrogance. It can be said that Kong Yingda has spoken so modestly for the first time since he became an official.

At the same time that Li Chengqian and Kong Yingda were asking and answering, all the doctors from Guozijian had already come and witnessed the whole process.

So someone said: "Your Majesty, the minister sees that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has great talents, so it is better for us to join forces to come up with a few test questions." How about letting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince give it a beating? ”

Hearing that someone else had to rely on himself, Li Chengqian said with a displeased face: "This palace doesn't do thankless things, unless you come up with a corresponding bet like Old Master Kong." ”
