Chapter 114: The Confrontation Begins
Dai Yan continued: "And in today's world, the collapse of etiquette and music is different from when the Zhou Dynasty was first founded. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is like writing material with paper, if you continue to write in the same way as the previous bamboo slips, it will be extremely inconvenient! In the boy's view, the ritual system was designed for the environment of the world at the beginning of the week. However, if today's changes occur, the old system of etiquette and music is no longer suitable for today's new era, and all countries in the world need a new system, and the countries of the world also need a new order to adapt to the current new era! And Confucianism is still conservative and retro, isn't it stupid? ”
Hearing this, Meng Ke finally knew why Dai Yan was here now! The way of writing was just a small appetizer, and what he really wanted to say, it turned out to be here!
So he categorically retorted: "Childe's words are different! Although it is like the collapse of ritual music today, it does not mean that ritual music is useless! Ritual music leads people to goodness, and the collapse of ritual music makes people's hearts chaotic, so there is a great chaos in the whole world today! If we want to make the world no longer have the current strife, we must reconstruct the system of etiquette and music in the world! ”
Hearing Meng Ke's words, Dai Yan also did not give in. When he was about to object, Mencius's disciples suddenly came to report that the school palace sacrificial wine had arrived.
In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the banquet required an elderly guest to raise wine to worship the god of the earth, and the person who sacrificed wine was also extended to the honorific title of the virtuous and respectable, and was used on the official name, that is, it had the meaning of chief.
And the sacrificial wine of the Jixia School Palace is the chief of this school, which is equivalent to the president of this comprehensive university, and it must be a person of high moral standing to be able to hold it. Today's school palace sacrificial wine is the guest Qing Chun Yu who is valued by the King of Qi.
Hearing that the sacrificial wine of the school palace had arrived outside the door, Meng Ke and Dai Yan did not dare to slack off, so everyone stopped arguing and rushed to the door to greet them.
In Dai Yan's eyes, Chun Yuji was a short man less than seven feet long, and the most striking thing was his hair, which had no hair on the top of his head, which made him look a little funny. However, Dai Yan didn't dare to underestimate this dwarf at all!
And in the history of Qi State, talented dwarves are not easy to mess with! In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was the famous Qi Xiangyan Infant in the world. And now this Chun Yu is the chief guest secretary of the King of Qi, and he is highly respected in the entire Qi country, and he also has a decisive influence on the government of the Qi country.
Dai Yan and Meng Ke didn't know, seeing that these two people came out to greet them, Chun Yuyan was actually relieved in his heart.
When he first received the news that Dai Yan was going to visit Mencius, he took it very seriously! In his view, the science founded by Dai Yan was a merger of the Mohists and the peasant families, which were originally in conflict with Confucianism. And when Dai Yan went to visit the leaders of Confucianism, could he have made friends in the past?
That young prince of Song must have found fault in the past!
The academic atmosphere of the Jixia Academy is free, and all the universities in the world can give lectures here and debate freely for their own academic opinions. However, if everyone thinks that everyone's academic debate is a matter of verbal effort, it is a big mistake!
In this era, it is the era of civilization and enlightenment, not far from antiquity. At this time, in the world, the wind of martial arts is extremely strong! And the country of Qi itself has a "thorny and aggressive" atmosphere, although the Jixia Palace is a school, a place for literature and education, but it is still affected by the martial environment of the entire Qi country!
This can be seen from the fact that in the courtyards of the academy that are distributed to each of the scholars, there are places for practicing martial arts, such as martial arts arenas and archery ranges.
In the Jixia Academy, the two schools of scholars debated with each other, and everyone could not convince each other, so it was common to draw swords against each other! And the school palace actually can't interfere with such a thing, after all, in the country of Qi, everyone agrees with each other to have a duel, but it is allowed by law!
Every year, there is no shortage of excellent talents in the Jixia School Palace because of such a duel. Although the new consultation room for debates between schools has been built in the palace, the debate between the schools has become controllable, and the casualties caused by the debate have been greatly reduced, but it has never been able to completely eliminate the casualties!
In Chun Yuyu's view, Dai Yannai is a young son of the Song Kingdom, and the young man must be vigorous! And Meng Ke, although he is a Confucian, he is also a temperamental person! And there is a great conflict between the schools they are in charge of, and it is very likely that the two sides will get together in private to debate, and there will be conflicts, and even casualties!
And in Chun Yu's eyes, these two people are outstanding talents!
Meng Ke was the leader of Confucianism, with profound knowledge and unparalleled eloquence. Although his doctrine is not yet accepted by the princes, some of the academic views he put forward have made everyone admire!
And Dai Yan is not only a virtuous son who is famous in the world, but also a proton sent to Qi by the Song State, if something happens to this prince in the Qi State, then there will inevitably be a serious diplomatic dispute between the Qi State and the Song State!
Therefore, after Chun Yuji heard the news that Dai Yan was going to visit Meng Ke, he immediately set off and rushed over. He was afraid that if he arrived a little late, there would be a serious bloodshed!
Fortunately, he arrived in time.
When Chun Yuji entered the courtyard, everyone sat down, and he knowingly said to Dai Yan: "Ziyan came to visit Mencius, what happened?" ”
Dai Yan replied: "I didn't have anything to do with Mencius, I just came here to exchange academics." Mencius, am I right? In the last sentence, he asked Meng Ke.
Meng Ke also understood what Dai Yan meant, so he said: "Naturally, Ziyan came to me, but it was just for everyone to exchange bachelors with each other, and there was nothing else to do." ”
When Chun Yuji saw this scene, he immediately followed the interface and said: "Both of them are world-famous wise men, since you both have the willingness to exchange academics, why don't you go to the inquiry room, have a good exchange and debate, and let you have a good look at the demeanor of the two!" What do you think? ”
When Dai Yan heard this, he didn't speak. But after Meng Ke heard about it, he completely understood what Chun Yuji meant, and knew that he wanted to mediate the dispute between the two. So he also said: "Since the sacrificial wine is invited, Meng Ke dares to disobey his orders?" ”
Seeing that Mencius agreed, Dai Yan also said, "I am willing to listen to the order of sacrificial wine." ”
However, Chun Yuyu underestimated the attention to Dai Yan and Mencius in this palace. When Dai Yan went to visit Mencius, there was also a scholar sent someone to find out the news! And when Mencius and Dai Yan followed Chun Yuji to the inquiry room, these gentlemen who had been following the development of things understood what was going on!
The various schools of thought in the Jixia School were well informed, and soon the news that Mencius, the leader of the Confucian School, and Song Gongziyan, the leader of the New School of Science, were going to hold a debate spread throughout the palace! After receiving such news, all the scholars were moved, and they all put down their research on learning, and they all wanted to go to the inquiry room to see the scene of the confrontation between the leaders of the two major schools!
For a while, the flow of people and vehicles in the Jixia School Palace surged, and it instantly became extremely lively!
After many of the scholars wanted to go to witness the debate, Chun Yuji and the two who were about to have a debate could only wait silently for the scholars to come.
The Jixia School Palace was not far from the palace city of Qi State, and the grand scene in the school palace quickly attracted the attention of the prince of Qi State, who was bent on looking for "lively". When he learned that it was Mencius who was going to debate with Song Gongzi in the inquiry room, he immediately sent someone to the palace and told Chun Yuji that he was going to witness the debate as well!
And the changes in the palace were not only noticed by the prince, but also by Qi Wang Tian Yinqi. When he got the news, it happened that the state affairs at hand had been dealt with, so he also traveled with him to the school palace to witness the debate!
After learning that the King of Qi was also going to see this debate, Chun Yuyu smiled bitterly. He sent Mencius and Dai Yan to the inquiry room to debate, with the intention of mediating the dispute between the two and slightly resolving the hostility between the two schools.
However, now that even the King of Qi is dispatched, the situation of debate is beyond his control. The confrontation between the two sides is bound to become fierce and uncompromising!
And when two tigers fight, one will be injured. The same is true of the confrontation between the two factions, where one of the two sides is bound to win and the other lose! Under this rule, the winner will inevitably prosper more, while the loser will inevitably end miserably!
It is safe to say that from today onwards, no matter who wins or loses on both sides, the two schools will inevitably form a mortal enmity and will no longer be able to reconcile!
