Chapter 57: The Slap Loud Down

"Cousin, I only know that you have done a good job in this scripture, but I don't know that you also have such a deep knowledge in the Three Kingdoms. However, we readers, reading history is only for wisdom, Tang Taizong said: With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly; With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. I wonder what my cousin thinks? Zhang Wen looked at Zhang Mu and smiled.

When Zhang Mu heard this, he knew that this was a pit dug by Zhang Wen for him, if he agreed with Zhang Wen's statement, then he fell into Zhang Wen's trap, and he would then use the thing of courtesy, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety to hit him, if he did not agree, it would definitely arouse the anger of the public and attack him in groups.

Zhang Mu was like a mirror in his heart, this thing of courtesy, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety could not be touched, but he was not afraid of public anger, and got up and said: "Take history as a mirror?" This doesn't make sense in the first place. ”

"Oh? Then I'd like to hear about it. Zhang Wen sneered.

"I am the kingdom of heaven for thousands of years. There are many famous artists in history, and heroes are as bright as the vast stars. From Chūn Qiu, Shiji, to Zizhi Tongjian, Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties to Mengyuan, let's ask, which dynasty is not all based on history? But why did it go from its heyday to its demise? Zhang Mu got up and asked with a smile.

"This, this is their fortune." Zhang Wen was suddenly asked, and he didn't know where to start.

"Haha, Zi is silent, strange and confused, big brother, you are really confused, my generation of scholars, seeking knowledge, seeking up and down. How can it be generalized by numbers?

What I want to say is that, first of all, the history recorded in the history books is not fully understood, and as we all know, history is just a fig leaf for the victors. What really happened, I didn't know it was drowned there for a long time. What can we learn by using such a distorted reality as a mirror?

Besides, although those books are right, the ancients said that life is rare for seventy years, and our short life span and uncontrollable ** in our hearts are not allowed to use history as a mirror at all, Tang Taizong knew that history was used as a mirror, but he killed his brother, did history tell him to do this? No, it's **.

Therefore, the sages told us that we should preserve the principles of heaven and destroy people. Suppressing evil and promoting good, only in this way can we benefit the common people. As for using history as a mirror, hum, it's nonsense. Zhang Mu said disdainfully.

Rao is Zhang Wen has thousands of words, but he was blocked by Zhang Mu's sentence of saving heavenly principles and destroying people, if he dares to refute it, he has no intention of opposing Confucianism, he doesn't have the guts.

Zhang Mu saw that the time was ripe and the time to fight back had come, so he asked again; "I heard that the eldest brother is very accomplished in Jingyi, I want to ask the eldest brother if he has heard of the saying that if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself?"

When Zhang Wen heard this, his face suddenly changed, and the sentence "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself" is from "Chūn Autumn", "Zuo Chuan - The First Year of the Hidden Emperor". There is a famous allusion here - Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan.

Zheng Bo is Zheng Zhuanggong, and this Duan is his younger brother Gongshu Duan. Zhuang Gong designed and deliberately connived at his younger brother and his mother, and his younger brother was arrogant, so he seized the throne of the monarch, and Zhuang Gong used this to crusade against Gongshu Duan. Zhuang Gong complained about his mother's partiality and moved his mother to Yingdi. Later, I regretted it, and Uncle Ying Kao persuaded me, and the mother and son got back together.

Zhang Mu deliberately brought out this topic to slap Zhang Wen in the face, implying that he was as vicious as Zhuang Gong.

Zhang Wen didn't eat white rice in the end, so he got up and said: "Just like what my cousin said just now, my generation is a scholar, practicing heavenly principles, and destroying people." Believing in the principles of morality, even if Zheng Zhuanggong is mean to Uncle Duan, it is because Uncle Duan has done a lot of injustice.

Fathers, fathers, sons, kings, ministers, and ministers, the young and the old are orderly, this is the principle of heaven. Duke Zhuang is a king, Uncle Duan is a minister, and if he is a courtier, he should not have a bad heart. If you are a child, you should not be unfilial to your parents, and if you are a brother, you should not be disrespectful to your elders. Cousin, don't you even understand this? Zhang Wen sneered.

When Zhang Mu heard this, this article was really more powerful than Chen Ying's idiot, and if he dared to refute it, it would be tantamount to asking for his own death.

However, Zhang Mu said disapprovingly: "What the eldest brother said is very reasonable, but I remember that there is another allusion, called Xiao Qiang." I don't know what Big Brother thinks? ”

Zhang Wen was stunned for a moment, and he said blankly: "What does this have to do with Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan?" ”

"My Zhang family is a Yongkang family, recuperating in Jinhua for more than 100 years, and now His Majesty is wise and martial, within the Ming Dynasty, all the people return to their hearts, and the four seas are peaceful. This is a great opportunity for my Zhang family to rise.

It's just that it can be known that such a big family, if it is killed from outside, it will not be killed for a while, this is the hundred-legged insect that the ancients once said, dead but not stiff, must first commit suicide from the house, in order to be defeated, this disaster caused Xiao Wall, the four words, will be given to the eldest brother. Zhang Mu said calmly.

When Zhang Wen heard this, he was ashamed and embarrassed for a while, thinking that he was an adult, but he didn't see the problem as well as a child like Zhang Mu, and he couldn't help but sit back in a daze.

Chen Ying and Zhang Wen were all speechless by Zhang Mu's argument, Zhang Wen thought that he was the eldest grandson of the long house, so he should have some strength, and now he called Chen Ying to humiliate Zhang Mu, and he was so ashamed that he didn't dare to raise his head.

But Chen Xuan was unconvinced, he lost the debate, but he still had a chance, so he got up and said thickly: "These are just jokes, and some crookedness is nothing." Seriousness still depends on karma. Ming rì is the government test, I want to see what splendid articles you can write. ”

Zhang Mu saw that this Chen Ying didn't cry when he saw the coffin, so he picked up the wine glass and said: "Listening to Brother Chen Ying say this, it seems that he is the first ten of the case?" ”

"I don't dare to say that nine times out of ten, at least it's better than that." Chen Ying sneered.

"Okay, why don't we gamble on it?" Zhang Mu asked with a smile.

"It depends on what you're betting on." Chen Ying said disdainfully.

"Simple, let's gamble on the first **. If you win the case, I am willing to put that rì, in front of all Mr. Tong Sheng in Jinhua Mansion, I will kowtow to you three times, and from now on, as long as you Chen Ying is there, I will kowtow once I see it. Respect your father, what do you think? Zhang Mu sneered.

Chen Ying smiled when she heard this: "Okay, a word is a certainty." ”

"Don't worry, what if I get the case?" Zhang Mu asked.

"Just you? Well, if you can hit the head of the case, I will also kowtow to you three times, see you later, and kowtow again to call you father. Chen Ying said proudly, as if she had seen the scene of Zhang Mu kowtowing to him.

"Are you interested?" Zhang Mu asked with a smile again.

Those children were a little indignant when they saw that Chen Ying had suffered a loss, so they said one after another: "If you can be the head of the case, we will wait for the same as Brother Chen Ying." ”

"What about Big Brother?" Zhang Mu asked.

Among those present, only Zhang Wen had read Zhang Mu's article, and knew in his heart that this was a pit dug by Zhang Mu for Chen Ying, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart: "This cousin is too ruthless." Hurriedly said, "I won't participate." ”

"That's good, a gentleman's word, a quick horse. Mr. Wen, I would like to give you a glass in my later life, and please ask Mr. to do a notarization. Zhang Mu held the wine glass in both hands, walked up to Professor Wen, and said with a bow.

When Professor Wen heard this, he was also curious that Zhang Mu had such a group of courage and courage, and he couldn't wait to see Zhang Mu's ability, so he smiled happily: "Okay, the old man will come to make a notarization, and we will make a decision." ”

"Okay, cheers." After speaking, Zhang Mu drank it all and said, "There is a farewell in advance for the late life, let's see you in the row." After speaking, he made a gesture to the Yan family brothers and sisters, and the three of them disappeared into the flower hall.
