Xie Xiaoheba and the fat mage classmates' rewards. Ask for collection recommendations
------------
After hearing this, several people didn't say anything, loyal to their friends' entrustment, they felt that Tian Fan was quite righteous. Besides, Pang Degong didn't care how many people came to his house for dinner.
Huang Chengyan said to Huang Yueying: "Yueying, you take a few girls to the back hall, hehe!" Huang Yueying shook her head and said, "No, I want to listen to you!" In desperation, several old men had to agree.
Among these three old men, only Lao Huang has such a daughter, the other two, Sima Hui has no descendants, and Pang Degong only has one son, so they are very precious to Huang Yueying! The thinking of the ancients is not the same as that of today's people, most people think that their daughters can get used to it, and their sons have to take care of it, so for Huang Yueying, the three of them are obedient most of the time. Xiao Qiao and Lu Xin, the three of them, are lucky to be able to listen to the conversations of a few masters.
Sima Hui looked at these young people with a smile, these are all rising stars, speaking of which, Xu Shu and others are half of his disciples, and Tian Fan is now in the limelight in Dahan, and he has also heard of his name for a long time! He said, "You young people talk well, and those of us who will soon be buried will not mix much, hehe." ”
Tian Fan hurriedly saluted him, "Mr. Sima, don't say that, the three of you are all great sages in the world, and it is our honor for the younger generations to listen to the teachings of the elders!" Besides, looking at your three red-faced and fairy-like characters, how can you say that? I want to wait until I'm eighty years old when you can write me a few words! The three old men were stunned for a moment, and then laughed in the blink of an eye. This kid ...... The fart is really loud! Several young people also laughed, and said in their hearts that this sycophant was shooting - the level is high!
After a few people laughed for a while, Tian Fan remembered what Huang Chengyan gave him a few days ago, and said, "Uncle Huang, thank you for what you sent, I like it very much!" Huang Chengyan waved his hand indifferently and said, "You will thank you if I send you something?" You take care of Yueying for me, didn't I say anything? "Anyway, hehe.
At this time, Shi Tao saluted Tian Fan and asked, "Boguang, Tao Wen, Liu Yuanjun's order to seek talent is what you suggested?" Tian Fan hurriedly replied: "Brother Guangyuan, the lord's order to seek talent was indeed issued at my suggestion!" Shi Tao nodded, and said with some hesitation: "Boguang, I have a question, I don't know whether to talk about it or not!" ”
Tian Fan said: "There is nothing that can't be said, Brother Guangyuan has any questions, you can talk about it!" ”
Shi Tao glanced at Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong, and Sima Hui, and then said: "There is a sentence in the order to seek talents: But seek its ability, not its virtue, only the talent, I can use it!" I don't think that's right! ”
Tian Fan nodded, bowed deeply to the three old men, and said, "Three gentlemen, not talented Tian Fan, borrow the treasure land to debate with Brother Guangyuan today!" Please forgive me for the rudeness! ”
The three old men glanced at each other, and Pang Degong said, "Boguang, you don't have to be polite!" Sima Hui also stroked his beard and smiled: "Hehe, I have long heard that Boguang has eloquence, and I will listen to it today!" Huang Chengyan smiled and nodded to Tian Fan and Shi Tao in agreement!
Tian Fan blushed when Sima Hui said it, what? Do you have a talent for debate? Who made the rumor?
Adjusting his breathing, he saluted Shi Tao and asked, "May I ask Brother Guangyuan, what is virtue?" Shi Tao replied: "The concept of virtue has existed since ancient times, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, gentleness, respect, humility, and integrity are all virtues!" ”
Tian Fan nodded and said: "If loyalty is virtue, then Zhang Liang and Confucius are not virtuous!" ”
Zhang Liang is known as the Marquis of Liu, and in the thinking of the Han Dynasty, his status is quite high, so high that people often ignore his moral flaws! And Confucius, originally had a very high status, was one of the four great scholars of the Warring States period - the founder of Confucianism, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, his status is unmatched, but it is far from reaching the later Song, Ming and Qing dynasties that can not be looked up to. …,
Shi Tao hurriedly asked, "How are these two people immoral?" ”
Tian Fan replied: "Staying in the marquis first and the king of Han, the king of the later masters, and then the ancestors of the emperors, it can be described as disloyal!" Kong Zhongni is a Lu person, but he has been in Qi, Lu, Wei and other countries, is he loyal? ”
Shi Tao wanted to refute, but what Tian Fan said was indeed the truth, and he had no way to refute it! It's not that these saints haven't made mistakes, it's just that as their status rises, their misalignments are selectively forgotten, and everyone counts them, but they don't mention them! Now that Tian Fan said this, Shi Tao really couldn't refute it.
Tian Fan continued: "If filial piety is virtuous, then Gaozu is not virtuous!" Without allowing Shi Tao to speak, he continued: "Gaozu and the overlord are fighting in Xingyang, and the overlord will cook the father of Gaozu, what did Gaozu say?" Shi Tao opened his mouth and did not speak. Tian Fan looked at him and said, "The two of us worship as brothers in front of King Chu Huai, my father is your father, and cooking my father is cooking your father!" Don't forget, when you're done, give me a bowl of soup! "Gaozu Liu Bang has always been disliked by literati, but no one dares to say anything, you don't want to die? Now it's the world ruled by the people surnamed Liu!
Shi Tao had nothing to say, and Tian Fan continued: "If benevolence is virtue, then Emperor Wu is not virtuous!" In order to fight against the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu exhausted the national strength, the people were burdened heavily, and his wife and daughter were sold in bulk! ”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a controversial figure, some people think that he is the first emperor of the ages, and some people say that he is like Emperor Yang of Sui, who is reckless in military force, and in order to achieve his own merits, he squandered the national strength that was easily accumulated by the rule of Wenjing. But in any case, in the Han Dynasty, his status was unmatched! Collect Baiyue, chase the Xiongnu, pass through the Western Regions, greatly increase the morale of the Han people, and establish a powerful empire. In other words, the literati at that time were also very bloody, and they did not blindly convince people with virtue, they should be beaten, and they should be beaten, and they should be beaten, this is their idea.
"If righteousness is virtue, then why is Han Xinxiao not virtuous! Han Xin was afraid that Gaozu would kill him, so he betrayed his friend Zhong Liwu, who was hiding at home. And Han Xin's death, it was precisely because of Xiao He's betrayal that Han Xin was killed by Empress Lu! is the so-called: success is also Xiao He defeat Xiao He! "Xiao He was the first hero of the founding of the country in the early Han Dynasty, if there is a person who is described as having Xiao He's talent, then he must be happy! Han Xin is similar, he was also worshipped by the Han Dynasty and was the idol of everyone.
"If gentleness is virtuous, then there is no virtuous person among the generals! I know you will say that martial artists are all contemptible husbands, and there is no virtue! But when foreign invasions, it is the warriors who lead us to block the foreign attack and protect the people to live and work in peace and contentment! This is great virtue! Lu Xin thought of his father, and couldn't help but look at Tian Fan's eyes glowing.
Ignoring those who wanted to speak, Tian Fan continued: "If it is a virtue to be respectful, then the ancient famous ministers, those who advised the ministers, when they gave advice to the monarch, were they respectful? ”
"If humility is virtue, then ......" Tian Fan scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "I'm sorry, I can't think of a humble and immoral person for a while, hehe." ”
His words eased the atmosphere in the hall all of a sudden, and everyone laughed, even Shi Tao.
Tian Fan said with a smile: "Guangyuan, as you said, honesty is virtue!" Then there will be no virtuous people in the world! ”
Everyone was stunned, and Sima Hui asked curiously: "Boguang, according to what you say, there is no honest person in this world?" Tian Fan saluted him and replied, "Mr. Sima, listen to me!" Suppose a friend of you is very sick, and he asks you how you are and how your face is, how do you answer? Without waiting for Sima Hui to answer, he continued: "Sir must have replied that your body will be better, and your face looks much better than yesterday!" Everyone was silent for a while, and slowly they all nodded!
Tian Fan concluded: "So, sometimes white lies are necessary and necessary! It is more meaningful to build hope for others than to tell the truth! ”…,
Shi Tao looked at Tian Fan seriously, and said with a deep salute: "Bo Guang is reasonable, it seems that Tao is pedantic!" Tao is taught! ”
Tian Fan hurriedly helped him up and said, "Brother Guangyuan, De, is a concept that wants to be right!" There are big virtues and small virtues! For the world, for the country, for the people is a great virtue, for their own reputation is a small virtue! ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, Xiaoqing's eyes lit up, Huang Yueying looked at Tian Fan with admiration, Huang Chengyan stroked his beard and said, "Hehe, Boguang is reasonable!" Dade and Xiaode only say, it is even more incisive! The two old men also said yes again and again!
Tian Fan hurriedly said humbly: "Three gentlemen, I am all blind to this, and I don't deserve to be praised by the three!" ”
The crowd laughed.
Tian Fan continued: "In my lord's order to seek talent, he said: But seek its ability, not its virtue, only talent, I can use it!" This is exactly what it means to seek great virtue and give up small virtue! For the livelihood of the people in the world, for the early end of the chaotic situation in the world, in order to return the people to a prosperous life, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment again, it is to appoint those who are immoral and talented as officials, and everyone who thinks is right! Besides, no one is perfect, everyone has shortcomings, as long as he can promote his strengths and avoid his shortcomings, he can let him play his greatest value without harm! I have a word to summarize the appointment of virtuous and talented people! He looked around the crowd and found that these people were listening carefully to his words, and continued: "Virtuous and talented people should be reused, talented and unvirtuous people should be restricted, virtuous and untalented people can be cultivated and appointed, and those without virtue and talent cannot be reused!" ”
The room was quiet, and everyone was digesting Tian Fan's four sentences.
After a while, Sima Huicai sighed: "Old Man Yun: Chaowen Dao, death is enough!" Listening to Boguang's words today, it is better to read half a life! Huang Chengyan said: "Gao Ming! Boguang's words put the essence of the employment strategy into it! The old man really admires it! Pang Degong stroked his palms and sighed, and said: "Unexpectedly, we are over half a hundred years old, and our knowledge is not as good as Boguang!" What a vain reading book for thirty years! The others nodded their heads in agreement.
Tian Fan blushed like a monkey's buttocks, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said, "Three gentlemen, don't praise me, I have goosebumps all over my body!" ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, Huang Chengyan pointed at Tian Fan and said with a smile: "You kid, being too modest is pride!" Hehe. Looking at Tian Fan, who was a little overwhelmed, Huang Chengyan really loved it the more he looked at it! It's a pity that his daughter Huang Yueying is still too young, and Tian Fan is a person with a marriage contract, otherwise he would marry his daughter to him!
