Chapter 52 Catch the ducks on the shelves

Xie Shence found one point: nearly a quarter of the people in this room are actually protΓ©gΓ©s of the Xie family!

Two of them were grandpa's students, that is, their own uncle, and four or five called themselves junior brothers, that is, their own senior brothers. After these people report their names, they will casually mention their relationship with the Xie family. So although Xie Shence couldn't remember who they were, he finally remembered that there were a few faces that were related to his family.

It's good to have a relationship. Xie Shence felt a little proud in his heart. So I don't have to worry about someone putting on my shoes.

After meeting with everyone, Qian Lao then said: "You have also seen that most of this Taixue are your classmates, so you must not be pampered, you must teach Taixue with your heart." You are the youngest in your teaching, and many of your students are even older than you. However, since Your Majesty thinks that you can teach Tai students, then no one in Tai Academy will doubt your academic ability. But whether you are competent or not depends on the process and results, if you can't, don't blame the old man for participating in you. ”

Xie Shence said secretly: After all, don't you have doubts about me? So Zhengse said: "Remember the teachings of Old Qian, and you will definitely live up to your grace and expectations."

Qian Lao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since this is the case, then you can prepare, there are still two quarters of an hour, and there will be your first class in the right time."

What the? Now there's my class?! I didn't prepare anything! How did I not know I had a class today? I haven't read the box of books sent by the emperor at all, how do I want to talk about this? Xie Shence was surprised, angry and panicked.

After Qian Lao finished speaking, he handed Xie Shence a class schedule, which listed his courses and some class transfer regulations in detail.

"You are a newcomer, the professor's course is not heavy, only half of the average professor, but you have to take classes carefully, every class will be recorded, I will pay attention to you."

Later, someone took Xie Shence to one of his teaching rooms. A small room, two inside and outside, the inner room is the study, and the outer room is the place to eat. The conditions are not bad, and Xie Shence is actually equipped with a little scholar.

This little scholar is the son of a good family near Taixue, and he is not very old, and he is generally in his teens. They are all children from good families who make a living from accompanying reading, and they are already from society to support their families at a young age. Taixue regularly recruits its own scholars, and prepares for those who do not bring their own scholars. Of course, this salary will not be paid if you are too studied, and whoever needs a scholar will pay a salary.

Xie Shence's little scholar was assigned by the Tai Academy, Xie Shence can try it out for a few days first, and then officially hire him if he thinks it's good, and he will pay six dollars a month. Xie Shence didn't have a scholar in the first place, and he didn't have a scholar at all, even when he was in Chuzhou. Scholar? Does Big Brother count?

He has two handmaidens now, but he doesn't know if he can bring them in.

There is less than half an hour left, and I have to sharpen my gun. Looking at the books on the desk, Xie Shence shouted to the scholar outside the door, "Call me to take me to the church house in a quarter of an hour."

After the order, Xie Shence looked at the handouts attentively, but after two or three pages, Xie Shence threw away the handouts and turned to the books.

What kind of broken handouts, the pages are also full of people, Xie Shence has a headache when he looks at it, and he looks at the book, it is actually "The Analects", Xie Shence can't help but admire, who sorted out the handouts, and the "Analects" are completely two worlds.

Since he said "Analects", then Xie Shence has a bottom in his heart.

Don't wonder why students are still studying the Analects, what you studied when you were a child didn't study in college?

Half of the "Analects" can rule the world, and Meng Tong memorizes all the "Analects", can he rule the world? The emperor can rule the world, but does he dare to say that he can analyze the Analects?

Even if it is the same mountain, the scenery is different if the angle of the station is different, not to mention that the person who looks at the scenery has changed.

"The Analects" is really the thing that Xie Shence hates the most, and the memory of the university endorsement is still unforgettable. Xie Shence has blurred a lot of things in the past, but some of the feelings are quite clear. And the Analects is what he remembers the most.

I can't remember it because I hate it, so it takes more time to memorize, so when I remember it, it's hard to forget.

Thank you for being confident.

Then, under the guidance of the scholar, he entered the school house with a smile.

There are quite a lot of people, a church house can seat twenty people, and Xie Shence roughly counted that there can be more than thirty.

Is this my charm? Thank you for your self-satisfaction.

Hehe, of course not.

Tai students are going to enter the Dajin officialdom in the future, so performance has become the key to their ability to get a good position in the future.

Good performance here refers to two aspects, on the one hand, good academic integrity, and on the other hand, good interpersonal relationships.

Therefore, this class of Mrs. Xie's little grandson has become the focus of insiders. If you can attract the attention of the little marquis of the Xie family and make friends, it will be equivalent to falling on the thigh of the Xie family, and then it will naturally have a promising future.

Therefore, in addition to the original 20 people in this church, the extra 10 people are their relatives and friends, and they are here to set up relationships.

As for the scholarly character of the little marquis of the Xie family, there are really people who don't care much: what's wrong with good learning? It's good if it's not good, how can I behave in front of you if I'm too good at learning? Character? It's best if it's not good, how can you pull you to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble and exchange feelings if you have a good character?

Xie Shence really didn't know what they would think.

Of course, even if he knew, Xie Shence wouldn't care what those people thought.

Just like Xie Shenwei said, you just remember me. Do I remember you? Are you good-looking?

Xie Shence began his first class in Taixue.

First of all, he introduced himself and said: "I am the professor of your class, my surname is Xie, my name is Shence, and my name is Fengzhi." ”

Lectures followed.

"Lead the government, all with morality, the people are free and shameless. Guide it with virtue, with courtesy, shame and character. ”

The meaning of this is that morality is important. Guide it to virtue, Qi to courtesy, virtue before the ceremony, Yu thought that it was to teach people's hearts to be good, and the law and etiquette constraints were secondary. That's a great deal. When today's son leads by example, it is to act virtuously in the four seas and be good at the five lakes, so that the people can be influenced by this, so that they can abide by the law of Jin. As a result, the country is in order and the world is in peace. ”

"Nor can the rites be abolished. The sage thought that etiquette is restraint, etiquette is the rule, so that people dare not trespass, so that individuals guard their positions, so the world's peddlers and pawns, princes and princes will go their own way, is to stay at night and do not close the road and leave it behind, it can be said that it is the same. ”

"Virtue first, etiquette is supplemented, and morality and etiquette complement each other. However, any single view that is too biased is not advisable. ”

"Sir, what I said before is it for virtue or courtesy?"

After talking for a long time, someone finally spoke!

Xie Shence looked at him with a smile and said, "Naturally, it's for virtue." ”

The student asked again: "Is the well-off for virtue or courtesy?" ”

Xie Shence said: "Naturally, it is a courtesy." ”

The student asked again: "Since virtue can govern Datong, and courtesy can govern the well-off, then since ancient times, can there be Datong?" The students are ignorant, and they ask themselves if they never know that since the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, how can there be great harmony in the world? For the sake of virtue and etiquette, why don't the saints see Datong and the only well-off after that? Even so, what Mr. said was supplemented by the previous courtesy, and the students did not dare to agree. ”

When the student finished, there was a boo in the teaching room.

Someone dared to challenge the little marquis of the Xie family, and there were a few sleepy students who suddenly woke up and watched the play.

At this time, there was a lot of discussion in the teaching house, some said that this person was talking nonsense to sensationalize the public, some said that what this person said was reasonable and worth pondering, some said that this person's words had long been out of this lesson, and some said that this person was good at penetrating what he had learned, and so on.

However, no matter what people said, they were vaguely looking forward to Xie Shence's answer.

Xie Shence pressed down his hands slightly, and said with a smile: "Virtue and etiquette are both means, and the means that can make the country prosperous are good means." The virtue mentioned by the master is the distinction between the high and low quality of each person, and the virtuous person is noble in quality, and naturally helps the world. Those who are not virtuous are left alone. This is a requirement for a single person. Etiquette, on the other hand, is for everyone. The prince's crime of breaking the law is the same as that of the people, which means that everyone in the world must abide by a bottom line, which is actually the moral bottom line of why people are human beings. Therefore, virtue is aimed at individuals, while etiquette is aimed at all people, and after all, it is still aimed at human morality. It's just that the scope of this morality is much broader, and people who don't follow this bottom-line norm that everyone agrees on will be punished. ”

"However, this is all about governing the country well, as long as the country is prosperous, it is a good means. And a good means lies in the application, in the use of facts, pay attention to the right time, place and people. If the world is peaceful, there is naturally no need to punish harshly, the king cultivates virtue, and the people will naturally have enough food and clothing. If the country is restless, it is not a good policy to blindly be gentle, and at this time, the etiquette should be strict at the right time to restrain the chaotic mind and maintain stability. This is the so-called time and people. ”

"And then there's the location. The Yan Kingdom was established by the Xianbei Murong clan, and it was barbaric and unteachable. Yan Guoxun can trample on the law at will without punishment, so no matter how complete the etiquette law is, it is useless. And virtue is even more important to not mention it, Yan people are not educated, where are they taught? Confucius is a great virtue, but he is also trapped in Chen Cai, not to mention the rudeness of the Yan people? This is the so-called geographical advantage. ”

At this time, the church hall burst into laughter.

Xie Shence also smiled, I'm not afraid that you will be naughty, but I am afraid that you will be silent.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the teaching hall again, and some of the students were pondering, some were excited, and they were telling each other their opinions.

Another student took advantage of the chaos and shouted: "However, Mr. still hasn't explained why he can't see the same for virtue." ”

The house was silent again in an instant. Everyone once again focused their attention on Xie Shence.

Xie Shence said: "What I said earlier is that the time and place are favorable, which is the specific situation of virtue and courtesy. Xie Shence looked at the student who asked the question and said, "The main point you asked earlier is here, for virtue and courtesy, the effect is not only different from time to time, from person to person, from place to place, but also from person to person, and the effect is also different from object to object. When the saint ruled the world, the people drank blood, ate and slept in the open, and the saint made fire to build houses and make clothes, which made people have a sense of shame, and then they had a sense of morality, and people were satisfied with this, so they taught people to be virtuous and could rule the world. ”

"However, today, it is no longer the world that can be satisfied with only food and clothing, people have more **, so evil spirits breed, so people's morality is no longer as pure as before. Therefore, if it is used again as the law of virtue, it can no longer be the same. ”

Hence the birth of the law of etiquette, which is the best bitter medicine when the morality is corrupted to a certain extent. That's why there is Han Feizi's legalist. The reason why the pre-Qin Dynasty was able to dominate the five hegemons and seven heroes was because of the law, and the second Great Qin Empire ended up because of the law. This is what was said earlier about the biased monolithic path that will inevitably lead to bad results. ”

Therefore, in the later Liu and Han Empires, it was a combination of virtue and etiquette, and only then did it have the prosperity of Wenjing and Han Wu. At that time, the well-off, compared with the great harmony of the predecessors, also met the needs of the people, so what is the difference? ”

Xie Shence's answer is over.

At this time, no one in the church room made a sound, some people silently bowed their heads and thought, and some people seemed to understand whether they understood or not.

Xie Shence looked at this situation and was very satisfied. He doesn't expect a single Q&A to make students accept him and accept his status as a doctoral professor. What he needs is someone who keeps challenging him, whether it's out of knowledge or out of difficulty, he accepts it. Because he needs to use this way to solve problems to get more people's attention, get more people's recognition, and then move towards a broader space.
