592. Polemics

The team of Shixue is also quite young, only Yu Tomson and three other middle-aged people, the rest are very young, and what is surprising is that there are two women in the Shixue team. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Seeing this, the onlookers who were originally chattering couldn't help but be silent.

Now they somewhat understand why Li Qingzhao dared to organize a women's team to enter, thinking that she already knew the news that Shixue had brought women here through some channels.

Maybe she preemptively organized a women's army to participate, that is, to share some ridicule for Shixue.

The Shixue team was the last group to enter the Qiushi Palace, and after they entered, the door of the Qiushi Palace was closed.

"If His Highness ambushes five hundred sword and axe men inside, as long as he gives an order, more than half of the people in the world will talk nonsense." Someone whispered.

"He, I think it's less than ninety percent, this guy who talks nonsense, he doesn't talk nonsense himself, and he brings others to talk nonsense!"

The onlookers were still unsatisfied and began to discuss what would happen in the Qiushi Palace.

Soon they knew.

From time to time, someone would run out of the palace and hand a piece of paper to the big voice standing outside, who held an iron horn and read out the contents of the paper aloud.

In the Qiushi Palace, what a scholar says, people who watch the excitement outside can hear it clearly, and even those crepe literary words are specially changed into vernacular that ordinary people can understand.

"Xinxue's name is Yang Lun, it makes sense......"

"No, no, I still think that Mr. Hu like Luo Xue is more right!"

"That Mr. Hu, I think it's just like his surname, he talks nonsense seriously, it's all big truths, but he doesn't solve it!"

"What do you know, this is all an elaboration of the words of the saints, and those who are truly learned should be like this!"

The idlers present all expressed their opinions, and the initial confrontation was between the Confucian schools such as Xinxue and Luoxue, who attacked each other in order to compete for the orthodox status, and when the Taoist and Shijia occasionally spoke, they were bound to be jointly refuted by them.

This controversy cannot be concluded in a day or two.

Every day, Qiushi is arguing in the palace, but according to the rules set by Zhou Quan, it is okay to express one's own opinions, but it is not okay to use the set of "gentleman" and "villain" to play personal attacks, so all parties still maintain relative restraint.

Of course, after the daily debate is returned, whether or not he is scolding the opponent's ancestor behind his back is something that no one can say.

It's not just the idlers in the university city who are paying attention to the controversy, but also the scholars of the world, no matter what school of thought they believe, as long as they can read a few hundred words and understand some truth, they are all paying attention to this debate.

With such a long debate, of course, Zhou Quan didn't have time to follow the whole process, he only came to the scene in person on the first day, but after the next day, he just read the briefing every day. If he was interested in someone's doctrine, it was natural that someone at the bottom would sort out all that person's views, and after the person himself approved and signed, he would send them to Zhou Quan.

Although Zhou Quan disagreed with the Confucian scriptures, after reading the views of these people, he had to admit that Confucianism could dominate the Chinese ideological circle for nearly 2,000 years, and it did have its own uniqueness.

Not only that, but these scholars who studied Confucianism did possess extraordinary wisdom, and no one had touched them before, so they could only rest on their laurels in the old Confucian classics, but now after Zhou Quan smashed their old framework with unparalleled power, they actually flashed a lot of sparks of insight.

This made Zhou Quan impressed.

However, Confucianism has its own fundamental weaknesses, emphasizing ethics and etiquette over the system, securing the status quo and rarely making breakthroughs, and claiming to "apply it to the world" but separating it from labor and production...... These shortcomings, if they are not met with practical learning, will naturally be covered up by their strengths, and they are suitable for a society based on agricultural production and seeking stability, but when faced with great changes and turmoil, its weaknesses are undoubtedly revealed.

In this controversy, the Confucian schools almost swept away the rest of the doctrines, and later the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism only symbolically attended, and even the women's army led by Li Qingzhao could only be entangled with them in some branches within the scope of Confucianism.

The only thing that can make the Confucian sects jealous is practical learning.

However, for five days, when hundreds of schools of thought were arguing, Shixue only listened silently, and the camp of dozens of people did not say a word.

"Why don't you open your mouth?"

In Yingtianfu City, in a courtyard, Yang Shi put down his reading glasses, raised his head with some difficulty, and looked at Hu Hong.

Hu Hong, who had just passed the age of establishment, was the son of Hu Anguo, who was a disciple of Yang Shi and participated in the debate on his behalf, so Hu Hong took care of Yang Shi in house arrest for his father.

Hearing the old man's question, Hu Hong said a little unconfidently: "Maybe it's because they're not good at arguing...... Sir knows that they can count and write, but I have never heard that they can argue. ”

"No, no." Yang Shi shook his head again and again, closed his eyes and pondered.

Zhou Quan will not do stupid things.

After losing in the hands of Zhou Quan, he also became a prisoner, which gave Yang Shi a new understanding of Zhou Quan, and Zhou Quan left his life, and it can even be said that he treated him well, so that he had a new understanding of Zhou Quan's strength.

After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Hu Hong: "I, an old man, will not die here for a while and a half, so you might as well go to the palace to seek truth...... Qiushi Palace...... Seeking...... I understand! ”

Yang Shi muttered to himself, his eyes widened, and he wanted to stand up, but he sat down again.

The old man's face flushed unnormally.

He really wants to be like studying when he was young, even in the ice and snow, he is willing to wait quietly, just to seek the truth!

"Ask for ...... It's ......" Yang Shi muttered to himself, and then slowly tilted his head to the side.

Hu Hong was shocked when he saw this situation, and hurriedly called, and the doctor next door quickly ran over, but after measuring Yang's pulse, the doctor shook his head: "Mr. Yang is gone." ”

Hu Hong was at a loss, and only after a while did he react that Yang Shi was already dead.

The old gentleman must have gained something, so he was so excited, but what did he think?

If you can know what the old gentleman thinks of in the end, and then tell the Chengmen princes who are fighting in the palace of seeking truth, maybe it will be of great help?

Thinking of this, Hu Hong could only hastily take care of the funeral with the Yang family, and then under the pretext of informing the sons of Chengmen, he took the train to the University New Town.

From Yingtianfu to University New Town, there is a special train, more than 30 miles away, it only takes an hour to go at a time, and the price is not expensive, but the frequency is slightly less, so it is extremely crowded. Sitting in the car, Hu Hong's heart was still full of doubts, he recalled Yang Shi's words and deeds before his death, but he still didn't understand what Yang Shi had discovered.

When he arrived, it was already evening, and he had just left the station after today's controversy, and he met people who had come after watching the controversy, and they were all extremely excited.

"Three years without a hit, a blockbuster, I also said that it was an exaggeration of the ancients, and now it seems that it is true!"

"Yes, yes, you see, the sons of Shixue have never spoken, but as soon as they opened their mouths today, they refuted Xinxue to the ground, and the sons of Luoxue also gave them jaw-dropping, unable to answer their questions!"

"The two girls among the sons of practical learning, with sharp words, I thought that they were just good-looking to participate, but I never thought that these two girls were actually pioneers of practical learning......"

Hearing such discussions, Hu Hong's heart jumped suddenly, looking at the situation, in today's debate, Shixue finally spoke.

And as soon as they opened their mouths, they swept away thousands of armies and defeated the Confucian factions.

Just as Confucianism did with the rest of the hundred schools of thought before.

With questions, Hu Hong arrived at the residence of Luoxue Zhuzi, it was late at this time, but the lights were bright here, and from time to time some people talked loudly, Hu Hong's arrival made those people stunned for a moment, because Hu Hong was wearing filial piety clothes.

Hu Hong was also stunned, he recognized that it was definitely not just Luo Xuemen people standing here.

He even saw Lu Zai, the new scholar who carried the Ding, also appeared here, and it seemed that there had just been an argument, and his face was a little displeased.

"This is Mr. Xiaohu...... What do you look like, isn't it Mr. Yang? Someone recognized Hu Hong and exclaimed.

Hu Hong's eyes were slightly red, he nodded, and then hurriedly greeted Lu Zai and walked to the hall in front of him.

In the hall, everyone had already heard the movement outside, and when they saw him again, Juan Guo let out a loud voice, and the rest of the sons were also worried.

"Hugh cry, Hugh cry!"

Just when everyone was mourning and crying, Hou Zhongliang calmed everyone down.

He is the oldest, and he is used to life and death, so he can still calm down. He looked at Hu Hong: "We went to visit Mr. Kameyama a few days ago, and he was still in good health at that time, why is he suddenly like this today?" ”

Hu Hong told Yang Shi about his death, and after everyone heard what he said, they looked at each other.

He died because of a moment of excitement?

Especially at this time, when the Confucian schools were dizzy and speechless by a series of questions about practical learning?

"Why does Yang Gong need to be like this, when we debate again tomorrow, we will take Confucianism as the body and practical learning as the use, and we will definitely be able to win back a game!" After a long time, Zhu Zhen sighed lightly.

Confucianism is the body and practical learning is their preparation for the decisive victory, and if they can make Confucianism gain a unique position, they do not need to take it out. But now, the Shixue side sent two women to embarrass them with similar questions such as "can the words of the sages increase rice yields", "can moral articles make the sea banquet and the river clear", and "why Confucianism has ruled the world for thousands of years and cannot get rid of the change of chaos".

Although this is a means of sophistry, after it was suddenly taken out, it really caught Confucianism off guard.

They can talk about benevolence, righteousness, and reason, but they are somewhat lacking in concrete practice.

Therefore, they can only come up with the argument that Confucianism is the body and practical learning is the application, and the things that solve these specific affairs are all pushed back to practical learning.

Originally, Hou Zhongliang greatly appreciated this point of view, but at this time, he was faintly uneasy in his heart.

Can this argument really suppress practical learning?
