Chapter 30: Dialectics and Logic

"In less than ten years, Chang'an may replace Pingyuan and become the head of the princes of Zhao State!"

This is Feng Ji's heartfelt words, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng was silent for a long time after hearing it, but said lightly: "Zi Yan, you are so thoughtful for me, I understand it, but you must not be too suspicious." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

He put his hands behind his back, looked at the direction of King Zhao's palace from afar, and said with a smile: "With Chang'anjun's age, it is impossible to shake my status in a short period of time, and it will be about the same after ten or twenty years." “

"But then again, what's wrong with Zhao Guo having another virtuous son who is famous all over the world? I am now in my forties, and I look like the sun is in full swing, but Brother Wang is not much older than me, but he said that he would go, and I have a life and a life, who knows how long I can live, ten years, or twenty years? If there is a virtuous son in Zhao to take care of me when I die, I can rest assured that I will leave. ”

Although Pingyuan Jun has many shortcomings on weekdays, he is lustful and likes to show off, but he has a clear distinction between right and wrong, which is also the reason why he has been dominant in the political arena of Zhao for more than ten years.

Feng Ji was very touched, and bowed down and said: "The lord is open-minded, and the minister is not as good as it!" ”

Pingyuanjun helped him up: "Ziyan, your suspicious methods don't need to be used on Chang'anjun." This time to go to the country of Qi, he and I are considered to be companions on the same ship, we should be in the same boat, how can we be careful? Brother is a wall, and he is humiliated from the outside, not to mention that he is just a little nephew who is not much of a threat to me. ”

At this time, Gongsun Long, who was in deep thought on the side, also woke up suddenly, and arched his hand towards Pingyuan Jun: "Lord, I don't know if I am going to Linzi, but there are still extra carriages and horses, can I be a useless person?" ”

Pingyuan Jun and Feng Ji were both surprised: "Mr. Gongsun is also going to Qi State?" ”

"Not bad."

Gongsun Long's old face was a little ashamed, and he laughed self-deprecatingly: "Chang'anjun is right, I have lived in Handan for ten years, I have been idle for too long, and some are too obsessed with winning others in debates, but I have forgotten to summarize the relationship between the name and the truth of all things and prove it, which is the primary responsibility of my famous family." It's time to go out for a study tour, so I want to go to the Qi Kingdom with the lord and take a trip to the Xue Palace. “

Jixia School Palace, where Gongsun Long studied, is also the battlefield of the Nine Streams and Ten Families, where there are his friends of Gongsun Long, and there are many enemies. But this time, Gongsun Long did not argue about the war, but only for reflection.

Because of the words that Chang Anjun said at the end of the debate, he always felt that there was still unfinished meaning......

Phenomena and essences, content and forms, causes and effects, possibilities and realities, contingencies and inevitability...... Although the five relationships mentioned by Chang'an Jun in passing did not go into detail, they are deeply related to the "Theory of Solidity" and "Theory of Change" that the famous artists have been painstakingly exploring.

By this time, Gongsun Long's previous arrogance of wanting to accept Chang'an Jun as a disciple was completely gone, but he felt that this son was unfathomable and a rare exchange object.

He humbly said to Pingyuan: "By the way, I can also ask Chang'anjun for advice on the road, maybe I can gain something different......"

Gongsun Long's modesty changed from the norm, which made Pingyuan Jun stunned again, and felt that this trip was getting more and more interesting, so he bowed his head and said: "So good, my car will always have a place for Mr., on the first day of March, you and I will go to Linzi together!" ”

……

Mingyue's side didn't know that Gongsun Long was stimulated by him, and he actually wanted to join the team to Linzi.

After leaving Pingyuanjun's mansion, he did not go back to the palace with Lulingjun, but first went to the next Touchlong's house, visited Lao Zuoshi, chatted with him for a few words, and talked about the harvest of going to Purple Mountain this time, and then left.

After letting Shu Qi, who was sent out of the door, go home, Mingyue sat upright in the car, but what she was thinking about was still the argument with Gongsun Long before.

During the debate, he used his own way to govern others, and played a small trick, so that Gongsun Long fell into a contradiction and won a small victory, but in this regard, Mingyue did not have much joy in his heart, but was deeply sad.

"Gongsun Long, a famous master, could have relied on the study of serious logic for centuries, why do you have to be obsessed with sophistry......"

As a debate lover in college, Mingyue has some regrets for famous artists. As he said, the original intention of Hui Shi and others to establish the theory of famous masters was to solve the problem of unworthy names in society, and also concluded that everything is relative and practical.

It's just that they didn't follow the right path of empirical truth, but took an alternative path, that is, they used methods similar to "hype" to make their doctrines famous everywhere.

In particular, Gongsun Long ingeniously used the example of "white horses are not horses", which is obviously contrary to ordinary people's cognition, to draw out his own views, and sure enough, his doctrine has just emerged, attracting masters from various schools to argue. Relying on such a stupid unlucky bastard as stepping on such a hole, Gongsun Long came and went, and Gongsun Long occupied a place in the nine-stream and ten-rate families.

However, Gongsun Long, who tasted the sweetness, began to go crazy, and he did not calm down to summarize more theoretical evidence, but debated with people everywhere, with the aim of maximizing the effect of sensationalizing the world and shocking the world.

It's a pity that this kind of evil way that has fallen into the abyss of sophistry has backfired, making it more difficult for famous artists to be recognized by the world, and it is becoming more and more difficult to survive in the circle of hundreds of schools.

Zhuangzi has a negative attitude towards Gongsun Long and others, believing that he can defeat people with his tongue, but he cannot convince people's hearts, which is the limitation of debaters. The Mo family specially produced a group of scholars who worked against famous scholars, and Xunzi reprimanded Gongsun Long as "this is confused by the use of names to mess with reality." Zou Yan also criticized him for "harming the road".

You must know that since the fight against Yang Zhu, who is "unstoppable", no doctrine has been attacked by everyone, which shows that Gongsun Long, a master of sophistry, has the ability to pull hatred, and he has to say that things that violate people's common feelings are true, and he wants to gain fame by winning others, so he is not in harmony with the public.

Chengye Gongsun Long, defeated Gongsun Long, and the decline of the famous family began from this.

Mingyue secretly thought: "Gongsun Long doesn't understand that Chinese learning can only get ahead if it adapts to the world, and only by using sophistry to gain fame will eventually hit a wall and not be recognized by the world." The ups and downs of Gongsun Long's life and the decline of famous artists are excellent proof. ”

"But after all, the famous theories are also the originators of Chinese logic, and I also feel pity to see them fall into the dead alley of sophistry, and finally be buried under the dust of history, and only to be rediscovered after two thousand years."

So after the debate, maybe it was something that hurt it, Mingyue also said a few heartfelt words to Gongsun Long.

As for whether Gongsun Long can wake up and make changes, Mingyue doesn't know.

Although he really wanted to share with Gongsun Long his fear of being ruled by the "materialist dialectics" in political textbooks after middle school, college and even work, it was a pity that he was shallow and profound, and he was taboo, so he went to Qi and returned in half a year, and he didn't know if he would have the opportunity to sit down with Gongsun Long and have a good chat......

For Mingyue, this incident is just a small episode today, whether there is a follow-up or not, it just follows fate.

He quickly threw it to the back of his mind, and when there was no one left and right, he asked Li Tan, who was driving in front of him: "Li Tan, the incident I just asked you to investigate, has there been a result?" ”

Just when he was stranded at Pingyuanjun's house just now, Mingyue didn't let Li Tan be idle, and asked him to go to the streets and alleys of Handan again to help him inquire about something......

"I've already heard."

Chang Anjun said the word "please" to himself, which flattered Li Tan, and he was now happy to help Chang Anjun with his errands, so he responded softly while driving: "Some friends of the villain told me that those who talked about Gongzi's deeds in the market at the beginning were also talking about Pingyuanjun escorting Gongzi to Linzi, and while praising Gongzi, they also praised Pingyuanjun together. ”

"Sure enough."

Mingyue knew it in her heart, it turned out that Pingyuanjun wanted to use his momentum to get public opinion praise? But Pingyuan Jun does not lack prestige among the people, could it be that what he wants is not in the rivers and lakes, but in the court?

So, the royal family of the Plains King, the identity of the daughter of the prince, the power, the power, what does he lack?

Learn dialectical logic, go all over the world without being afraid, and after a thorough analysis, the conclusion is about to come out.

"Could it be that what Pingyuan Jun wants is the position of the prime minister of Zhao State?"
