Chapter 28: White Horses Are Not Horses
"Hahahaha. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Kong Piercing had just politely made a start, and Gongsun Long, who had been silent for a long time, burst out laughing, as if he had heard some joke, and couldn't stop for a long time.
Kong Piercing frowned: "Why is Mr. laughing?" ”
Gongsun Long stopped laughing and said, "My words to laugh at the priest are too ridiculous. ”
"Ridiculous?" Kong Chuanyi spread his hands: "What do you mean by this?" “
Gongsun Long said: "The priest keeps saying that he wants to worship me as a teacher, probably because he thinks that his wisdom and knowledge are not as good as mine, right?" Now, in turn, he told me to give up my own teachings, which is to think of myself as a teacher first, and then I want to be a teacher. This kind of posture of wanting to be a student but treating himself as a master first is too absurd. Besides, the reason why my Gongsun Long can be famous among the princes is because of the theory of 'white horses are not horses', and now if Mr. wants me to give up this theory, it is equivalent to asking me to give up the doctrine of opening a faction. Dare to ask Confucius when he worshiped Lao Tzu and Tan Tzu as teachers, did he also have such an attitude? Do you want Lao Tzu and Tan Zi to burn their own knowledge first? ”
"This ......"
Only then did Kong Pierce realize that there was a great flaw in his first sentence, and hurriedly said: "Otherwise, Confucius, the ancestor of the martial arts, once said that if you are a threesome, you must have my teacher; Choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good......"
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Long slapped his palm and said: "If the priest doesn't talk about Confucius, I still forgot that this theory of white horses and non-horses was originally proposed by Zhong Ni!" ”
This statement shocked the world, the hall was in an uproar, and Kong Piercing was stunned for a while: "What? ”
But seeing Gongsun Long, he talked eloquently: "When I was in the Qi Kingdom, I heard the Confucian scholars of the Xue Palace talk about a past incident, when King Chu Zhao once pulled a strong bow called 'Fan Weak' and mounted a sharp arrow called 'Forgetting to Return', and shot a dragon rhinoceros in the wild of Yunmengze, but accidentally lost the bow. ”
"King Zhao's entourage suspected that it was stolen by the fishermen in Yunmengze, and asked to search the households and retrieve the bow, but King Chu Zhao said: 'The Chu people left the bow, and the Chu people got it, so why bother?' So he did not go after the bow and arrows. ”
"When Zhong Ni heard this, he commented: 'King Chu Zhao seems to want to talk about benevolence and righteousness, but he can't talk about it! It should be said: If a person dies with a bow, he gets it, so why limit it to Chu people? 'Dare to ask the priest, is there such a thing?' ”
"The hole is finished."
Mingyue, the guest on the seat, thought so, this Gongsun Long really deserves his reputation, not only is he very proficient in his own knowledge, but also has a few allusions to other families, knows himself and his opponent, and wins all battles, so that he can argue with them without falling behind.
Mingyue also played debate for a period of time in college in his previous life, and he was very familiar with this routine of asking difficult questions first, and then explaining the symptoms, in his opinion, this debate has completely entered the rhythm that Gongsun Long is familiar with, and the hole piercing has gone far.
Sure enough, in the face of this incident that was indeed recorded in the Confucian classics, Kong Piercing nodded with difficulty and admitted it.
This is equivalent to handing the knife to the other party during the battle, how could Gongsun Long let go of this opportunity and said: "From this point of view, the ancestor of the priest, Zhong Ni, distinguished the 'Chu people' from the 'people'!" Since the priests and Confucian scholars regard Zhongni's words as the golden rule, they must also agree with his idea of distinguishing between 'Chu people' and 'people', but now, they oppose my idea of distinguishing 'white horses' from 'horses', which varies from person to person! ”
"I ......" Kong pierced the words, blushed, and the concept that was originally very clear in his mind suddenly became a mess.
"Wait, don't you even think Confucius's words are wrong? You are the sixth grandson of Confucius and the leader of Confucianism in the Lu Kingdom. ”
Gongsun Long pretended to exaggerate his hand and showed this absurd "paradox" to everyone, which caused a burst of laughter, and then without giving Kong Piercing time to think and explain, he immediately chased after him, pointed at him and said:
"It's funny, the priest cultivated Confucianism instead of what Zhongni did, and wanted to learn from my Gongsun Long, but forced me to give up my purpose. A paradoxical person like Mr. can't be taught by my Gongsun Long, even if there are sages who are a hundred times wiser than me, I'm afraid I can't teach you! ”
This is to kick the nose on the face, questioning the basic IQ of the hole, the hole is about to refute, several times opened the mouth but was speechless, after half a sound, he said to the referee of the main seat Pingyuanjun with a gloomy face, Gongsun Long's argument skills are unparalleled, and he is willing to bow down......
"The debate between the two gentlemen is really wonderful, making Zhao Sheng feel as if he has drunk a whole jar of elixir wine, and he is fascinated."
The pot-bellied Pingyuan Jun is very good at being a man, so he immediately got up and played a round game, and said: "Mr. Gongsun is talented, Mr. Zigao doesn't have to care, twenty or thirty years ago, when Mr. Gongsun was studying in Jixia School Palace, he was a good debater who could be juxtaposed with Tiankou, Tianyan, and Lu Zhonglian." ”
"Tiankou Piao" refers to Tian Piao, "Tan Tianyan" refers to Zou Yan, plus Lu Zhonglian, they are the three famous mouths when Qi Guoji's school palace was at its peak. These three people are Huang Lao Taoism, Yin Yang and Confucianism, each holding a statement, no one can overwhelm anyone, Gongsun Long can be as famous as the three of them in terms of eloquence, how can he be his opponent?
With Pingyuan Jun handing over the steps, Kong Chuan's complexion looked much better, as his disciple, Lu Lingjun was a little unhappy, but he was helpless.
"This Confucian is really humiliating himself......"
Mingyue watched the fire like a hole, shaking her head on the side, it can be seen that Kong, as the sixth grandson of Confucius, has mastered a large number of classics and resources, and can let Luling Jun worship him as a teacher, he still has a little bit of knowledge, at least in the mastery of classics.
However, he used his own shortcomings to attack others' strengths, how could he not lose? Fang Cai's debate was simply Gongsun Long's unilateral hanging and piercing, and he didn't even discuss the original topic of "white horses and non-horses", and the holes were defeated by Gongsun Long because of the flaws in his words.
If you simply compete with your efforts, even if reason is better than words, you can't beat words better than reason.
This is the conclusion that Mingyue came to after participating in the debate club in college in her previous life and mixing up for four years.
Unexpectedly, not all the attention in the hall was focused on Gongsun Long and Kong Chuan, just opposite Mingyue, Feng Ji, the chief disciple of Pingyuan Jun, had been quietly observing this Chang'anjun who had behaved very differently recently.
Seeing him shaking his head at this moment, Feng Ji suddenly said: "I see Chang Anjun shaking his head and sighing, could it be that he doesn't think about Mr. Gongsun's reasoning?" ”
His voice was very loud, and for a while, the eyes of Pingyuan Jun, Luling Jun, Gongsun Long, Kong Chuan, and everyone in the hall were focused on Mingyue!
……
"Chang'an-kun? Could it be that Chang'an Jun, the virtuous son of 'the life and death of the country, how can he avoid it because of misfortune and fortune'? ”
Everyone turned their heads and ears, Mingyue listened to it in their ears, and regretted it in their hearts, the righteousness was too awe-inspiring at the beginning, and they directly used the child's "Gou Li Sheji, life and death" is not enough, but it has to be filmed. Now this has become synonymous with him, from the previous ranger to the current Pingyuan Jun family guest, every time someone else uses this sentence to refer to him, Mingyue feels that he has been reduced by a second.
However, he didn't care about taking regret medicine, because the attention of everyone in the hall had already been drawn to him by Feng Ji.
Feng Ji said: "Chang'anjun, do you have any other opinions about Fang Cai's debate?" ”
"Me?"
Mingyue was pretending to be confused, looking at the smiling and unpredictable Plain Monarch on the other side, but she cursed secretly in her heart, Feng Ji was putting him on the fire to roast, what is this guy trying to do? Do you want to make a fool of yourself in public? Or do you want to test yourself? Or is he, as a competitor of Gongsun Long, seeing that Kong is vulnerable, he wants to find another enemy for Gongsun Long?
But it won't be enough to find him on Chang'anjun's head.
Also, is this what Pingyuanjun meant, or is Feng Ji himself?
In an instant, Mingyue had countless thoughts in her heart.
"Son!"
Pingyuan Jun was a little unhappy, and reprimanded Feng Ji and said: "My nephew has always had nothing to do with famous debaters, how can he have any opinions, as an elder, don't bully him when he is young, drink your syrup well, and don't tease him for fooling around." ”
Feng Ji, who made his own opinion, smiled and said: "The lord atons for his sins, and his subordinates also watched Chang'anjun think about it when he listened to the debate between the two gentlemen, and he wanted to listen to it if he had a proposition in his heart." Although Chang Anjun is young, he has a reputation for early wisdom recently, so why not ask him to try? ”
"This ......" Feng Ji said reasonably, Ping Yuanjun hesitated, looked at Mingyue and said, "My nephew, do you really have an opinion, are you willing to have a discussion with Mr. Gongsun?" ”
Mingyue didn't have time to answer, but Gongsun Long suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Lord, I am very willing to discuss with Chang'anjun, today's argument is too early, and the guests here are afraid that they will not be able to enjoy themselves." ”
With that, the hole on the side, which has become a passerby, almost has to find a crack in the ground to get into.
However, this remark also received a response from the guests, and this group of people is not a big deal. So Feng Ji took the lead, Pingyuan Jun asked rhetorically, Gongsun Long challenged, the three of them seemed to be singing double reeds, for a while, in front of everyone's eyes, Mingyue had been forcibly pushed onto the grill, and it was difficult to ride a tiger.
"Perhaps, if I want to make a name for myself among the princes, I am afraid that it is not enough to rely on the means of the rangers in three days, and in the circle of the hundred schools of thought, I should also fire the first shot......
After thinking about it, he smiled at Lu Lingjun, who kept glancing at him and making him retreat, saying that it was okay, and then said: "Okay, then I'll give it a try, Uncle Bo, brother and all the guests laughed, and I hope that Mr. will not dislike Zhao Guangzui's clumsiness." ”
"How dare you." Gongsun Long invited him to take a seat: "It is the dragon's luck to be able to argue with the virtuous son!" ”
……
The first half of the debate ended too quickly because of the fragility of the holes, and now the second half, which was not originally planned, began again.
Looking at Chang'an Jun, who was sitting opposite him, Gongsun Long felt a hint of joy in his heart.
He has been a doorman in Pingyuanjun's house for almost twenty years, although he doesn't consult much on weekdays, but just by relying on his experience and fame, Gongsun Long is undoubtedly the first guest, ranking right to Feng Ji.
As an old senior, Gongsun Long knew the little bit of caution about Feng Ji, who was both a colleague and a competitor.
Feng Ji has always been suspicious, it is obvious that he has seen Chang'anjun in the limelight recently, and he is jealous, so he wants to use Gongsun Long to suppress him today, if he can make Gongsun Long and Chang Anjun disagree and complain, it is also a good thing for Feng Ji, and now Pingyuan Jun wants to borrow Chang'an Jun, and he will inevitably depose his Gongsun Long, and Feng Ji will be able to take the position.
But in Gongsun Long's heart, he had another plan.
He also saw it just now, that Chang'anjun Zhao Guang has been talking to Lulingjun, Lulingjun is a disciple of Confucius, this Chang'anjun, is he also a believer in Confucianism?
Since the death of his grandfather, Wei Xianghuishi, the voice of the famous family has been slowly weakening, and he has often become the target of public criticism in the Jixia School Palace. In order to let the famous artists regain momentum, in this ten-class and nine-stream "bee out and work, each leading one end" in the hundred schools of thought contention, Gongsun Long also racked his brains and searched up and down.
His actions are to participate in more debates and defeat more opponents.
But the more this happened, the more enemies he made, but his influence did not grow, but his reputation deteriorated first. After all, compared with Confucianism, Mo and other scholars, their famous scholars can only be regarded as a niche doctrine, and now their influence is even more limited to a corner of Handan, and the official government of Zhao has no interest in supporting him.
In such a situation, how could Gongsun Long not be in a hurry?
Alas, it would be nice if they could accept a son as a disciple like Kong Chuan, so that the argument could enter the field of vision of the Zhao royal family, which would be of great benefit to the future development of their school.
Therefore, Gongsun Long decided to push the boat down the river and take over the trouble that Feng Ji threw over.
"If I can say that Chang'anjun is convinced today, and then ask Pingyuanjun to do it and accept him as a disciple......"
Recently, because of the fact that he took the initiative to go to Qi as a hostage, Chang'an Jun's reputation has become more and more famous, if he can have such a disciple, can't he Gongsun Long also take advantage of this good wind and once again make his own signature in the world?
"Not to mention that Chang'an Jun is the beloved son of the Empress Dowager Zhao, if you can use him to persuade the Empress Dowager to make the famous family a ...... Zhao Guoxian"
That beautiful future, Gongsun Long couldn't imagine it.
"Sir, let the kid speak first?" Chang'an Jun on the opposite side looked a little stage frightened and shy, in Gongsun Long's opinion, this should be an opponent who is easier to knock down than a hole piercing.
No, it's not an opponent, he's just a new disciple of Gongsun Long's one-handed submission, and he is the rank of their famous master.
In terms of rebuttal, he has great self-confidence, and he even began to think about how to make his words a little tactful, not to be as ruthless as the piercing just now, so that Chang Anjun has room to step down.
Gongsun Long never expected that the young man opposite would also regard him as a rank.
So he smiled and said, "Childe doesn't have to be nervous, you and I can just talk casually, please." ”
"Then, I'll say it, and please don't be angry, sir."
Gongsun Long put on a generous posture as an elder: "No, no, no, this is an academic exchange, gentlemen are harmonious but different, how can I be angry?" ”
Mingyue politely saluted Gongsun Long, then raised her head, pointed at him with her finger, and said loudly:
"Gongsun Long, non-human!"
