The long and boring sermon is finally over, and the free questioning session begins.

The emperor is the emperor after all, although the power is in the hands of Gao Taotao, but nominally Zhao Xu is the pride of the sky, so of course the first question is left to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu waved his little hand and said, "What the master said is very good, I can't say anything. It's not that I can't say it, it's that I really don't want to say it, for Cheng Yi's preaching, the precocious Zhao Xu obviously didn't listen to it at all. He was thinking, this is the real teacher, saying such a lot of truths, hey. It's not as good as the fables that Uncle Li told me before, which are both vivid and interesting, and full of truth.

Since Zhao Xu gave up the opportunity to ask questions, of course, Gao Tao should ask questions next, but she said modestly: "A girl from the mourning family, or if you have any doubts, please ask first." ”

Zhang Dian couldn't help it, he stood up and said: "Since the Empress Dowager asked us to ask, I will ask a question first, just now Master Cheng said that the sage is not selfish, no wisdom, this is not selfish Zhang can barely understand, but this is not wisdom, I can't understand it anyway, without wisdom, how can I govern the country and dominate the world?" ”

Wen Yanbo opened his small eyes when he heard Zhang Dan's question, and he said in a mocking tone: "So Zhang Dan, you are just a layman, you can't become a saint!" He was twice as old as Zhangdun, and his status was more respected than that of Zhangdun, and he called Zhangdun's name as soon as he spoke.

Zhang Dian was also not soft-mouthed, he said: "Gong Wen is nearly eighty years old, and a certain person has become a saint who cannot use wisdom? He deliberately changed not using wisdom to not being able to use wisdom, obviously laughing at Wen Yanbo for being old and confused, and he couldn't think about problems.

Wen Yanbo snorted, he didn't speak, he was thinking, Zhang Dan, your kid's little bit of fancy intestines can escape the old man's eyes, it's not that I can't think. I don't have to think.

Cheng Yi heard Zhang Dian's question clearly, and inevitably gave another explanation of "using wisdom".

Zhang Dian listened to Cheng Yi's explanation and was not too enjoyable, he said: "Cheng Gong just talked about a lot of happiness, I can only understand that your happiness, your happiness is your happiness, it can't replace my happiness, and your happiness is too cheap, too easy to obtain, but it is not worth much, I think Cheng Gong can't live with himself." So ......"

Zhao Xu listened to Zhang Xuan's words, he nodded frequently, he felt that Gao Tao should find a teacher like Zhang Xuan for himself, instead of a pedantic and stubborn person like Cheng Yi as his teacher.

Gao Taotao felt that Zhang Dian should not accuse Cheng Yi in person, so she interrupted Zhang Dian and said, "Let Sima Aiqing ask questions, or say your own opinions." ”

After Sima Guang heard Gao Tao say a few words by name, he immediately had a sad face, and he didn't know if it was the cause of his illness. Today he felt that he was in a trance, he didn't remember what Cheng Yi said, he wanted to shake his head and say that he had no problem to mention, but he opened his mouth. But he said: "What Master Cheng said just now, I don't know what to say, I really don't understand!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Cheng Yi was even more annoyed. This is what you are talking about, is this obviously a smashing field? He thought that he and Sima Guang were the best, and he didn't know how many times he had said this theory in Luoyang and Sima Guang. I'm afraid that Sima Guang's ears have already heard the cocoon, and now he should know what he said without listening, he could have flattered himself casually, or deliberately asked a few questions, so that he could take the opportunity to play.

Eighty-year-old Wen Yanbo was wondering if this Sima Guang had become an old fool, in fact, the old man had never understood Cheng Yi's knowledge, but he had never said this to Cheng Yi in person.

Gao Tao saw Sima Guang's trance-like face through the curtain, she thought to herself, this Sima Guang must have been scared out of heart by two unexpected attacks, and he looked completely absent-minded, hey, if she can't find the culprit behind the scenes, I'm afraid that this Sima Guang's heart will be difficult to get rid of, and she won't be able to deal with the government wholeheartedly.

Zhang Dan and Li Dang looked at each other and smiled, he knew that it must be Li Kang's plan that was working.

Fan Chunren, the good old man, began to speak, and he said: "Sima Xianggong means that Cheng Gong said it too well, it is really too good, too broad, too profound, although it is a little difficult to understand, but it is still thought-provoking, and it is indeed too good." ”

After Fan Chunren finished speaking, he also took the lead in applauding. But the response is over, and the sparse applause can only show that Sima Guang's "I don't know what to do" is more marketable.

"No!"

Sima Guang suddenly burst into a shout, and he said: "It's really terrible, what kind of ruthlessness, isn't this slandering that saints are all wood?" ”

"Ahh

Everyone focused their eyes on Sima Guang, they never thought that this Sima Guang would suddenly go crazy.

Cheng Yi also knew that Sima Guang was usually the most opposed to his own point of view, and he saw that since Sima Guang raised this issue at this critical moment when Gao Taotao and Zhao Xu were present, it was clear that he wanted to break with himself, Cheng Yi decided to debate with Sima Guang to the end, and he asked: "What is Sima Xianggong's opinion?" ”

Sima Guang said: "Gao Jian, what is high and low, this person has a distinction between high and low, but there is no high and low desire, only normal desire, and abnormal desire, whether it is normal or abnormal, this desire is eternal, who wants to save heavenly principles and destroy people's desires, that is nonsense." ”

All the people's eyes were full of doubts, and they found that this did not seem to be the opinion that Sima Guang himself should have, and this was certainly not Sima Guang's opinion, this was the understanding that Li Dang had imposed on Sima Guang through hypnosis.

At this time, Sima Guang had not completely fallen into the hallucination, and after he finished speaking, he also had some doubts in his heart, how could he say that, he was going to say another sentence. He raised his head and looked at Cheng Yi sitting on the west seat, I don't know why, he felt that this Cheng Yi was a little hateful, no, not some, it was very hateful, he said: "Desire is like mountains and rivers, you can't rely on damming and building embankments to intercept it, you can't just use 'benevolence' and 'reason' to suppress it, you must know how to dredge, you must treat desires correctly, channel them into the right ditch, and treat desires well is to treat yourself well!" ”

"Good!"

Zhao Xu took the lead in applauding, he found that some of the words Sima Guang said today were "Zhenghe Zhenyi", he didn't know that this was Li Dang's excuse to speak.

Seeing Zhao Xu applauding, several officials couldn't help but applaud.

After everyone applauded, Sima Guang suddenly asked in surprise: "What did I say just now, but I think that this desire is like a flood of beasts, and Cheng Fuzi's 'qualitative desire can become benevolent', and I agree very much, hehe!" ”

Sima Guang applauded himself after speaking, obviously this was his own opinion. (To be continued......)
