Chapter 51: Shangluo on the Tao (1)
"Mr. Cheng is here, Mr. Cheng is here!"
Hearing the servants' congratulatory manners, Zhu Zhiyu, who was discussing the way of economics with the students, hurriedly ran out of the study and greeted Cheng Qi and his party in the courtyard.
"Sure enough, he is a talented man in Jiangnan, and his future life is terrifying."
Zhu Zhiyu knew that Cheng Qi was very young, but he never expected that he would be so young, and he had not even reached the age of the weak crown, so he took off the crane on his body and draped it on Cheng Qi: "Luoyang is cold, be careful of catching a cold." ”
Cheng Qi was so polite that he couldn't say a word, if he didn't know that Mr. Zhu Shunshui in another time and space was a top university scholar of his time, he might really be full of suspicions, could this be a Hongmen banquet?
Zhu Zhiyu was in the prime of life, he introduced Cheng Qi into the study, and introduced him to several students of his lineage, several of whom were also "sent to the Song Dynasty" from the east, the most prominent of which was the grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first general of the Japanese Edo shogunate, the nephew of the second general Tokugawa Hidetada, and the son of Tokugawa Yoribo, the lord of the Mito domain. In addition to him, there are also students from Annam, Goryeo, Dali, and even Arabia, Tianzhu and other places, and it can be said that Zhu Zhiyu can be called the most prestigious international educator of this era.
As a well-known scholar, Zhu Zhiyu focuses on the study of economic affairs, and looks down on Jiangyou Wangmen's style of "sitting high on weekdays and talking about sexuality, and relying on others in times of difficulty". Cheng Qi's so-called third way put aside the question of the origin that the study of life likes to discuss, and takes the actual effect of the law and the operation of society as the basis for judgment, inheriting the glorious tradition of Confucius of "outside the Liuhe, existing and ignoring", and the pragmatism of the Eastern Zhejiang School of Economics, which won Zhu Zhiyu's blue eye.
After arranging for Cheng Qi to rest for a while, he summoned nearly 100 professors and students to participate in the debate in the Ming Hall of Luoyang High School that night. Zhu Zhiyu, as the moderator, announced that there are three rules for this debate: first, only academic debates are allowed, and no personal attacks are allowed; second, one question and one answer, no wheel siege; Third, if there is a time when there is no answer, a quarter of an hour can be paused for thoughtfulness.
These three rules are also the rules of Luoyang Gaoshi's daily debates, but because Cheng Qi is from Bianjing, Zhu Zhiyu emphasized this again. According to the host's arrangement, Cheng Qi first concisely repeated his idea of the third way, which is the so-called "thesis", and then the dissenting scholars took turns to ask questions and attack. This set of procedures is the practice of Buddhism, in the past, Master Xuanzang of Tang Sanzang in Nalanda Temple had a tongue battle with dozens of Tianzhu monks, one by one.
However, today's debate is not as fierce as that of Nalanda Monastery – you must know that at the height of the Dharma transmission in Tibet, the loser of the debate will have to lose his life. In today's debate competition of Luoyang High School, the first thing is to ask for advice, and the second is to debate.
Fortunately, Cheng Qi had already prepared and sorted out his main points in an orderly manner, coupled with the three-inch incorruptible tongue raised by the college debate team in his previous life, this little scene could really be handled.
It was night, in the bright hall, the lights were bright, and the nearly 100 people who sat and talked about it were almost silent except for the speaker's voice. The students who sat under the lamp to record the speeches of the debate were all pen and snake, and soon a mountain of manuscript paper was piled up in front of them.
Cheng Qi has never underestimated these "ancients", if he has any advantage, it is that he has experienced four years of formal legal training and 100 practical combat experience of the college debate team, but he also knows that gold will shine wherever it is, and these predecessors only need a short time to keep up with their own ideas, and then quickly overtake in corners.
These professors and doctors in the audience, their IQ is not lower than Cheng Qi, and it can even be said that at least half of them are smarter than Cheng Qi, they are all giants of this era, and Cheng Qi is just lucky to stand on the shoulders of the giants of the times. If it is fair competition, Cheng Qi really has little confidence to beat them.
He gradually felt that there were many deficiencies in his arguments, and there were many things that needed to be made up for the arguments used to establish his arguments, but fortunately, Zhu Zhiyu was more considerate of him, and when he gradually couldn't resist it, Zhu Zhiyu coughed and said: "Mr. Cheng Qi's third way is not a long time old, and what you have learned is the fruit of more than three hundred years of excellence by the sages of the past dynasties. According to the old man, the new theory has its own merits against the old theory. However, just like Li Yishan's poem: Tonghua Wanlidan Mountain Road, the young phoenix is clear in the old phoenix. Mr. Cheng Qi's remarks today are to the point and are related to the social welfare of the country. In the world's learning, it is the right way to be others first and then to be yourself. We are far less than extravagant and mysterious. ”
In the end, Zhu Zhiyu concluded that the debate between Cheng Qi and the sages of this court was a success, and in this debate, the two sides fully exchanged views on issues of mutual concern, exchanged opinions, and drew considerable wisdom from each other, and further supplemented their own arguments and arguments to make them more perfect. Finally, he hoped that the speeches of this debate could be collected into a book, which could be used as valuable academic materials for the education of the backward and published all over the world, adding a little more waves to the academic circles of the Great Song Dynasty.
The next morning, Cheng Qi slept for a lazy night, and when he got up, he found that a freshly published "Xijing Daily News" was placed next to the bedside, and the headline on the front page was the news of Cheng Qi and the scholars of Luoyang High School.
Cheng Qi enjoyed a pretty good breakfast with a newspaper with the scent of ink, and in the afternoon, several reporters who claimed to be "Xijing Journal" came to give him an exclusive interview.
For the sake of the visiting young lady and herself, and she is quite amiable, Cheng Qi also accepted this honor disrespectfully.
"May I ask Mr. Cheng originally shocked the southeast with his article, why did he suddenly change his interest since he went to Beijing?"
The so-called article alarmed the southeast, but it was a false praise from a friend. In fact, a certain family has always been enthusiastic about practical work together, and went to Beijing to study, in order to be able to increase their knowledge and help the country in the future. However, in the past few months, the sergeant doctors in Beijing have been observed, and there are seven or eight people who talk about it, and one or two people who have tried their best to deal with it. Yu thinks that the foundation of the world is nothing more important than the system, the system is evil, the thief is traitorous, and the system is good. Through the imperial court system, the world has discussed a lot of people who are not good, but the kid is stupid, and they all lose their fundamental ......
Cheng Qiyang said a bunch of correct nonsense, and also stuffed a lot of his own private goods into it, and finally concluded: The masters criticized natural law and said that its disadvantages lie in confusing morality and law, and Yu Shen thought so. Since ancient times, the tyrannical Qin used the cruel law to kill some people, but then killed people with famous morality, and there were 40,000 people in the world, who dared to have mercy?
He summed up his experience of lecturing and debating at Luoyang High School and compiled a book called "Law and Morality". Handed over to the publishing house of Luoyang High School, the first edition was only 1,000 prints, but for an academic book, it was already quite a lot.
