Get up with a bang.

The whole Wanshou Palace was ready, and then the phoenix got up and headed towards the Zhengde Palace.

Zhengde Palace, civil and military officials, all are ready.

Chen Kaizhi knelt behind the case with his head held high, his expression was calm and calm, and he couldn't see any emotion.

Chen Wuji, on the other hand, looked a little irritable, looking around, his handsome face full of uneasiness.

The ministers in the palace, seeing that the Empress Dowager had not yet arrived, were all whispering and discussing something.

Many Confucians, scholars, and students thought that it was the first time to enter the court, but their expressions were tense and did not seem to be easy.

After a moment of silence, at last, someone was singing outside.

"The Empress Dowager has arrived."

After these six words, the empress dowager came slowly with the support of the eunuchs.

Chen Wou-Ki stared at the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager did not squint, ignoring everyone's gaze.

After she slowly ascended to the seat, she looked left and right, and this woman actually had a solemn sense of looking forward to her own pride.

The Empress Dowager looked around at everyone, then pursed her lips and said slowly: "Today, I invited many respectable old gentlemen to come, for the sake of a controversy. She smiled: "Chen Zi's thirteen chapters, presumably most of the princes have read it, the mourning family is a woman, this book is good or bad, I really dare not judge, but recently, there have been a lot of rumors, what to say that the king of Beijing is actually a betrayal of the Confucian classics, these many discussions, are really disturbing." ”

"In this case, then let's just discuss it, the mourning family invited all the gentlemen, it is to fulfill the wish of King Beijing, King Beijing, what do you see?"

Her eyes fell on Chen Kaizhi.

Chen Kaizhi hooked his lips and smiled: "The minister is willing to discuss it." ”

"Good." The Empress Dowager nodded: "The knowledge of King Beijing is known to the Mourning family, and all the gentlemen are also Confucians who have read poetry and books, then, today's stormy meeting, a woman from the Mourning family who does not learn and has no skills, will not talk much, so I am here, listen to the high opinion of Zhuqing, King Beijing, you open first?" ”

Her words were simple.

Chen Kaizhi This is all you found yourself, it has nothing to do with me, if something happens, you don't blame me.

This is her cleverness, obviously it was all arranged by her, but she is still an outsider, looking like she has nothing to do with herself.

Chen Kaizhi shook his head at the Empress Dowager, and said with a modest smile: "The minister is a late-born junior, so please ask the princes to open first." ”

With that, he smiled and sat back down.

These Confucians have long been gearing up, they have already received the rumors, and today they are searching their intestines and scraping their stomachs, and they want to discuss the length and shortness with Chen Kaizhi.

But now Chen Kaizhi actually asked them to open first, but they hesitated, looked at each other, looked at each other, and hoped that someone would come forward.

After a long time, someone coughed, smiled at Chen Kaizhi, and saluted: "No, Yang Wenming has seen King Beijing." ”

Chen Kaizhi got up and also returned the salute: "Sir, you don't have to be polite. ”

The civil and military officials held their breath, as if they were looking forward to this grand event.

Although this is a situation of group fighting, the result is almost doomed.

This Yang Wenming, many people have heard of it, he once wrote an article in the limelight, and then set up a academy in the suburbs of Beijing, recruiting disciples, many of whom are outstanding.

Yang Wenming said with a smile: "There is only one thing I want to ask, among the thirteen articles of Chen Zi, the most ink is the unity of knowledge and action, this line is hard work, people can't read enough, why can they spend time to do practical work?" Do you want to know the quality of the food, but you still need to cook it yourself? Mencius said: A gentleman is also a beast, seeing its life, and can't bear to see its death; Hearing its voice, I can't bear to eat its flesh. It is a gentleman who cooks far away. If we talk about it in this way, isn't it that Meng Shengren is also wrong? ”

"Then, if Sage Meng is not wrong, the gentleman should be far away from cooking, and why should the scholar practice it? The world's knowledge is as vast as the sea, so the sage said that there must be my teacher in the three-person line; But there are also good and bad things in learning, for example, if you can do things, a gentleman is willing to do it, which is hard work; But if you can't do something, does a gentleman need to practice it in order to be enlightened? Yes, I don't think that Chen Zi's thirteen articles, although it is advocating Confucianism, in fact, it is contrary to the original intention of the sage, His Royal Highness's book, but it can also be called a masterpiece, but if the mind is not right, it will inevitably mislead people's children, so that people laugh and be generous. ”

His criticism was very unkind, and he almost pointed at Chen Kaizhi's nose and denounced Chen Kaizhi as the remnant of the sons.

Such a situation, and even such sharp words, Chen Kaizhi heard it for the first time, but he had already prepared in his heart, and if people came prepared, he would naturally not be polite.

Therefore, Chen Kaizhi was not annoyed, but listened to him with a smile and nodded: "Teachable, I don't know which other master wants to speak freely." ”

Yang Wenming frowned slightly, and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, why don't you answer now." ”

Chen Kaizhi said: "Because I want to answer all at once, otherwise, if everyone asks questions, do I have to answer them one by one?" If so, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish the answer today. ”

Chen Kaizhi's reason is very reasonable.

And his tone was soft, and his face did not show any unkindness.

It's just that his answer made Yang Wenming a little annoyed.

What is the ...... What does it mean, it means that Chen Kaizhi disdains to answer for him, more like saying, you guys go together, I'm in a hurry.

Yang Wenming is also a great Confucian, and he is still a little angry when he is neglected like this.

But he didn't have any way to take Chen Kai, so he stared obediently and stepped aside.

Chen Kaizhi's 'arrogant' tone made many Confucians angry, scholars, how arrogant they were, someone came out with a cold face, and said: "Learn from Zhu Mao and have a question." ”

He claimed that if he learned it, he would definitely be the scholar of the Yansheng Mansion.

Chen Kaizhi is a student, and if he thinks about it, he should be a student.

Chen Kaizhi looked at him with a smile and said lightly, "Excuse me." ”

Zhu Mao said: "Chen Zi's thirteen articles, in the view of learning, the logic is not clear, for example, the eleventh article, although it also mentions Shinong industry and commerce, but it says that there are no scholars and no people are governed; There is no farming, no living; Without work, the goods cannot be abundant, and without business, the people will not be rich. Shinong businessmen, businessmen are the lowliest, why is it here, but there are no merchants, and the people are not rich, what is this? Although in the book, the merchant is added at the end, but His Royal Highness has polished the merchant so beautifully, what kind of intention is this? Huainan Zizhong said: It is a person who is not an official, an official who is not a business, a farmer who is a businessman, a farmer who is different from another state, who is a farmer and a farmer, a man who speaks and acts, a man who works and a worker, and a businessman; Shang Jia Tuli, the baht must be compared, because of the number, it can be described as extremely despicable, which greatly deviates from the original intention of the Confucian saints, King Beijing, have you ever heard of the words of the saints? ”

Chen Kaizhi nodded: "This king knows, so, does anyone else have anything to say?" ”

Zhu Mao originally thought that if he criticized harshly, Chen Kaizhi might be angry and finally argue with himself.

But Chen Kaizhi was too calm, and he didn't look like arguing with him at all.

At this time, the great Confucians finally became a little angry, and some people simply stood up and laughed: "Haha, what else is there to argue with such a deviant book, this book is full of nonsense, bad people's minds, and the person who wrote the book can be described as ill-intentioned, this is to shake the foundation of my Confucianism for thousands of years, if this book is popular, it will be the time for etiquette to collapse." ”

Another humane: "This book is no different from the books of the evil minds of the remnants of the sons, but this book is only in the name of the saints, and this kind of act is the most harmful and the most despicable, because if it is a forbidden book of the remnants of the sons, the noble readers will not ignore it, and this kind of book is the most harmful." ”

"It can be said that this book is worthless, and it is completely a book that misleads people's children."

Someone opened this mouth, and the verbal words became more and more unbearable, and they seemed to feel that Chen Kaizhi couldn't do anything to them, so naturally, they all sold their strength, laughed and scolded angrily.

Chen Kaizhi's face was expressionless, as if he was listening attentively, and when he saw the excitement of everyone's scolding, he just laughed at it.

The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, all expressionless, this is equivalent to a criticism meeting, the dignified regent, the scolded dog is bloody, this prestige ...... I'm afraid I'm going to fall for a thousand miles.

Chen Wuji's face became more and more angry, but he was still desperately holding back, a pair of hands hidden in the cuffs were clenched into fists, and the whole person was faintly trembling.

The Empress Dowager just listened with a smile and was noncommittal.

"Alright." Chen Kaizhi finally spoke, and he looked left and right: "Now, can this king speak?" ”

He said suddenly, and the hall was quiet.

Everyone is actually waiting, waiting for Chen Kaizhi to fight back, because once he explains, next, everyone can find out the loopholes in Chen Kaizhi's words and continue to criticize.

Chen Kaizhi smiled, got up, walked in front of Yang Wenming, and was silent for a long time: "You said that Chen Zi's thirteen gentlemen are far away from cooking, so dare to ask, does Mr. Yang eat meat?" ”

"Food." As soon as Yang Wenming heard Chen Kaizhi's question, he knew what Chen Kaizhi wanted to say, and then added: "People should eat grains and meat, but those who don't eat meat are outsiders, and those who read eat meat because they have joined the WTO." ”

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said: "The gentleman can't bear to see the sorrow of the animal when it dies, so he can't bear to listen, the gentleman can't bear to see the animal when he is dying, so he can't bear to listen, so the gentleman is far away from the cook, but he is also meat-eating, so, Mr. Yang, since the gentleman has so much unbearability, but he prefers to eat meat, and the cooks slaughter so many livestock, is this still a gentleman?" ”

"If it is not seen, then it can be treated as if it did not happen; I did not kill Beren, but Beren died because of me; So if you can't hear it, you can also treat it as if something didn't happen, and suddenly feel that your conscience is at ease, so you can continue to be a gentleman in peace? ”
