Xu Zhi is the third elder, even if he is just a township official, he also has real power. In contrast, Chen Bian is only the second eldest www.biquge.info the Chen family, and although the Chen family is big, it is not the only one in Pengcheng.

People from other families have intersected with the three elders, whether in terms of prestige or reputation, they must figure out his thoughts, not to mention that they are welcome, but at least they have to express their goodwill.

Chen Bian is good, he doesn't inquire about his preferences in advance, and slanders Han Zi in person!

Xu Zhi's dissatisfaction is obvious.

In fact, Xu Zhi wronged Chen Bian, there is a way to make the wisdom faint, Chen Bian's mind is full of fertile fields that are about to be acquired, more than a dozen domestic farmers, and silver for nothing, and many details are not taken care of.

But since he spoke, of course Xu Zhi would not be stunned, and ignored Chen Bian, and asked Chen Zhi: "Listen to your words, I am quite familiar with Han Zi's teachings, the words of the Dharma-based family on Guijing Academy, mixed with the words of the ancestors and saints, you have the heart to be a person who serves books and classics, it is essential to be familiar with the classics, and you have to be able to talk and argue, so let's ask you a few questions, and if you can answer them, you will be eligible to participate in the competition." ”

"Thank you for your kindness!" Chen Zhi showed just the right amount of joy, saluted respectfully, courteously and thoughtfully, neither humble nor arrogant, this is also the fact that he has seen too many celebrities in his previous life and participated in many events, and he has long been used to it.

But this attitude fell in the eyes of Chen Bian and Xu Zhi, it was a bit of a taste of honor and disgrace, in the original history, now is the period of the two Jin Dynasty, although history has changed, the Han Dynasty has resurgence, but the trend is difficult to change, the same is the era of paying attention to demeanor and character, a person has grace, and the absurd thing he does is an anecdote, on the contrary, it is called humiliating.

Even Chen Bian couldn't help but change his opinion of Chen Zhi slightly, but he was determined to win the land, he thought that he would be sure of nine out of ten, how could the duck in his hand let him fly? He didn't think that Chen Zhi, an uneducated and unskilled person, had a way to deal with the three elders' inquiries.

"I heard that this kid usually doesn't touch the school, how many goods can he have in his stomach? In the two sentences just now, Xing may have hollowed out his head, and if he asks again, he will inevitably reveal his stuffing. ”

Nowadays, the paper made of mulberry bark, Tengpi and Zhupi has basically replaced the simple bamboo and silk, but there is no development of printing, and the inheritance of knowledge is limited to copying, teaching by word and deed, and it is difficult to spread widely, so it is monopolized by the big gate, and the gap between the high gate, the cold door, and the cloth is obvious, and the knowledge is hereditary.

Knowledge is in books, even if the children of the big clan want to study for learning, they must have a way, what they have learned, how well they have learned, there are often rumors in the clan.

Chen Bian wants to seek Chen Zhi's family's field, and it is inevitable to understand it properly, knowing that Chen Zhi's number of visits to the school and the library is limited, and the Chen family library also has a few Legalist works, but according to Chen Zhi's method, unless the memory is excellent and the eyes are not forgotten, at most he knows some superficial articles.

"There is a certain risk in investing in the three elders, and you have to find a reason to explain the origin of your knowledge afterwards, but you have to get through the difficulties in front of you first." Chen Zhi is also aware of this.

In fact, as a strategist in his previous life, Chen Zhi had never read a few Legalist works, and in the era of war and chaos, reading more military books and policy books was the way to survive, however, Xu Zhi wanted to ask questions, and he had an answer in his heart before he could ask it, so Chen Zhi, who swallowed the pill, was not stunned at all, which was equivalent to answering the question while reading the reference book, and taking the open-book exam.

I heard Xu Zhi ask: "I see that you have some understanding of punishment, the way of punishment, out of words, obey the law, I don't know how you think of words and law?" ”

Chen Zhi immediately said without thinking: "Han Feizi" said in the debate that the country of the Ming Lord, the one who orders, and the one who speaks the most noble; Those who are in law are the fittest. Words are both precious, and the law is not suitable, so those who do not follow the law must be forbidden. ”

"Huh?" Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment, surprised by the speed of Chen Zhi's answer, and then sighed secretly, you know, this question is not something he came up with temporarily, in this era, it is difficult for you to learn more knowledge, often you can only learn limited content, and then study it repeatedly, the relationship between words and law was carefully studied by Xu Zhi, even if Chen Zhi didn't say the way of punishment just now, he would find a way to pull the question to the top of "words and law".

In fact, the third elder has been to several people, and they all asked similar questions, and as soon as they heard Chen Zhi's answer, they had a comparison.

"The first few questions, the Peng family kid answered the fastest, the Liu family kid said the most, the Wang family answered the most decent, now I see, the Chen family kid answered faster than the Peng family, although not as much as the Liu family, but extremely accurate, just a few words, it captured the essence, more wonderful than the Wang family, and my years of study coincide!"

Of course, it coincides, this is Chen Zhi's direct reading of Xu Zhi's thoughts and the answer.

"This question is a subjective question in the future, and no matter how standard the answer is, it can't compare to the examiner's opinion.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Xu Zhi nodded with satisfaction, stroked his beard and smiled: "It is indeed the most expensive and the law is not suitable, you are careful to read Hanzi, then I will test you again." He pondered for a moment and threw out the second question that he had carefully prepared: "Since you have the heart to join Guijing Academy, do you know where the name of this academy comes from?" ”

From "Han Feizi. Xie Lao", the original text is: 'It is to be a gentleman of the Tao and noble, and not to change the law. ’”

"That's right," Xu Zhi smiled, and took the opportunity to extend the prepared question, "You should know that back then, Shang Jun changed the law, and the Qin State was strong, which shows that the Legalists advocate changing the law, why do you say that you don't change the law here?" His words and deeds seem to be casual, but they are all painstakingly arranged, in order to show the style of a celebrity, and it is a question at his fingertips.

Romance, style, sometimes still artificial, the key is in a word.

Of course, this effect is also obvious, Chen Bian was stunned when he heard it, not only surprised by the erudition of the three elders, but even more shocked by Chen Zhi's response.

"This law is not the other law," Chen Zhi did not mean to accept it when he saw it, and in the face of new questions, he replied as usual, "Han Zi himself also advocates changing the law, thinking that changing the law can enrich the country and strengthen the army, but the change law advocated here means that when the countries are in dispute, they will carry out corresponding reforms according to the changes in the world and the growth and decline of power, but if the world is unified and the peace lasts for a long time, it is not easy to change the law, or in other words, it is not possible to change the law Because a law runs through the whole country and is obeyed by hundreds of millions of people, if it is changed at will, it is more serious than changing it at night, and it must be carefully considered and weighed repeatedly before it can be implemented. ”

This answer will be placed in the future generations, and there may be objections, but Chen Zhi is very clear, it seems to be the answer now, but it is actually the favor of the three elders, and the answer is not right or wrong, but likes and dislikes.

"That's right," Xu Zhi looked satisfied, his eyes lit up, "Do you know what you know about Han Zi's life?" Even his old man's views on the change of law are known, and he is very familiar with them. ”

"Don't dare, a little know, a little know." Chen Zhi was humble in his mouth, but he was not polite at all in his words, and talked eloquently, talking about Han Fei's life and glorious deeds, Xu Zhi became more and more happy, and he felt like he had met a bosom friend, and he even forgot his original purpose.

This is also normal, Xu Zhi already admires Han Fei, when he asks questions, he unconsciously thinks of Han Fei's life, and is temporarily memorized by Chen Zhi.

This made Chen Bian anxious, according to this rhythm of development, how to start those few acres of land?

"Ahem!" Coughing lightly, Chen Bian tried to bring Xu Zhi's attention back, but the latter was still chatting with Chen Zhi as if he didn't know it, from Han Feizi's deeds to the gains and losses of the change.

"It's self-defeating!"

Looking at Xu Zhi with a smile on his face, Chen Bian was extremely remorseful, but he couldn't figure it out anyway......

"Chen Zhi doesn't learn and has no skills, let alone study hard, and he can't even write a few words, let alone what Legalists say, Han Zi's life, it's just unreasonable! Outrageous! Could it be that someone tipped him off and told him to prepare in advance? No, even if someone reported the news, how could Chen Zhi prepare in advance for the question that Xu Zhi asked on the spot? In any case, it can't be left alone. ”

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Chen Bian's anger became higher and higher, and he interrupted directly: "Chen Zhi, you keep talking about Han Zi's method, but you can't do it yourself, how much trouble you have caused, you also know very well in your heart, ...... today"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Zhi.

"In court, it stands to reason that you educate the younger generations, the old man shouldn't talk too much, it's just that it's a little out of place now."

The elder frowned, Chen Zhi's words tickled him, many conclusions coincided with him, and he usually chatted with others, where was it so comfortable? As a result, he was discouraged by Chen Bian, how can he be comfortable? It's not fun!

Chen Bian was also unhappy, and couldn't help asking: "What's out of place?" Punish the younger generation with family law, but also listen to outsiders' beaks? As soon as these words came out, he suddenly came to his senses, knowing that he was in a hurry and lost his words.

Sure enough, Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and immediately sighed: "The affairs of the Chen Mansion, the old man can't take care of it, this is not bad, but the old man will give you a thorough understanding, the upcoming distinguished guest, the status is noble, it is related to the great luck of Pengcheng County and even the entire Xuzhou, Mr. Guijing will personally greet him, and you can weigh it yourself." ”

"Mr. Gui Jing greeted him personally? This...... Nobody told me. The sudden revelation made Chen Bian panic, that Mr. Guijing's hometown quality was much higher than him, and he was someone the Chen family could not afford to offend.

Xu Zhi sneered and whispered: "At present, the biggest problem is the lack of a few juniors who can take the stage to support the scene, although the juniors of the Wang family and the Liu family are excellent, but they are Confucian, but the noble man worships the law, and there are some young men around the nobles. ”

This news surprised Chen Bian again: "With such a young man, could it be that the noble man is Zhuge ......"

Xu Zhi immediately stroked his beard and interrupted: "In the court, you think, if you can get that favor, no matter which child of the family, it will have a bright future, the old man has contacted all the way, and he has also met a few handsome families, but I have to say that your mansion Chen Zhi is really a leader, and he has studied Han Zi exquisitely, and when the nobleman arrives, if he can perform, it will be of great benefit to the Chen Mansion!" ”
