Zhang Xiu whispered and grabbed Cai Huang and complained! "Yue Wen, how can you be one

Before he finished speaking, he heard Sima Hui over there. High-fived and praised: "Cai Gong's intentions are very good, whether he is competent or not, you will know if you try it." In the year of the weak crown of the general, he wrote "The Teacher Said", in which there is a cloud, the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher, and the teacher does not have to be better than the disciple. Nowadays, this article has been widely circulated, and even more so, you need to learn this article before getting started. The Great General can write this article. Put aside the arrogance, there will be real talent and real learning, but it is not known to everyone, and today there is this opportunity. Why don't you give a lecture to the general? After speaking, he looked at Zhang Xiu with his eyes, and Zhuge Jin next to him also looked at Zhang Xiu with curious eyes.

At this time, Cai Pa whispered: "Bo Yuan is talented. Today's lecture will surely make a name for itself in the world again. ”

Zhang Xiu glanced at Cai Ba helplessly, and then said loudly: "Since this is the case, sit in the main hall." After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, he walked to the main hall of the school palace first. Cai Yi and the three of them glanced at each other and hurriedly followed. Sima Hui and the four of them smiled slightly, and followed closely behind, and then a group of students also flocked to the main hall of the school palace.

This school palace hall is the largest place in the entire Nanyang School Palace, which can accommodate up to 300 people to listen to the lecture. Three hundred people are not all crowded together, if so, this hall can seat a thousand. Each of the three hundred people had a cushion. There is a short case in front of it, and tea and fruits are put on it. There are three people wide between the left and right, and there is also a distance of two people between the front and back. Compared with the simplicity of Yingchuan Academy and Lumen Academy, Nanyang Academy can be said to belong to the luxury level.

However, Zhang Xiu also ordered that the school palace built in the future, the furnishings and decorations of the school could not pass the Nanyang School Palace. Zhang Xiu knows that the place for students to learn can't be too good, too good will only breed inertia, like Nanyang Xuegong, it is enough.

In the main hall, Zhang Xiu sat on the main seat. Cai Yi, Sima Hui and other celebrities sat in the front, and behind were all the students. Due to the large number of students coming this time, the seats in the hall are full, and the students who do not have seats can only sit on the ground, but it doesn't matter if they look at their expressions, those who want to use the bookcase will share it with those who have a bookcase nearby.

"When

As soon as the golden bell rang, everyone fell silent. Although Zhang Xiu often speaks quietly among the armies. I was very familiar with such a scene watched by everyone, but it was the first time I asked him to give a lecture. After settling down, he cleared his throat, and instead of speaking immediately, he asked a question: "What is benevolence?" ”

As soon as this question came out, Sima Hui, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan, Cai Ba and others frowned together, and then looked at Zhang Xiu with interest.

What is benevolence? Since the sage Confucius raised this question, later generations have explained it in various ways, but I don't see anyone who can explain it well. Even Confucius's students often asked Confucius this question, but Confucius gave a different answer each time, so that later generations came up with different interpretations, but they were not accepted by everyone. Therefore, benevolence can only be explained by deeds.

After Zhang Yuan finished asking, a student replied: "Benevolence loves others." ”

After listening to this, Zhang Xiu smiled and did not answer. Another student replied, "It is for the sake of benevolence to establish oneself and to establish oneself and to attain oneself if oneself desires." ”

Zhang Xiu still smiled but did not answer, and another student said: "Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself." It's for benevolence. ”

The students have different opinions, but they are inseparable from the words of their ancestors.

"When,"

The golden bell rang again, and everyone fell silent when they heard it, and looked at Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "You said it very well, but what you said is more about how to be benevolent than answering what benevolence is." Although it can be benevolent, that is, benevolent, it fails to truly express the meaning of the word ren. After a pause, Zhang Xiu continued: "Xiu has a slight understanding of benevolence, so let's talk about it today." ”

Looking around at everyone, Zhang Xiu said: "Embroidery thinks, saying benevolence must first be said with etiquette, because benevolence is internal, etiquette is external, benevolence belongs to the heart, and etiquette belongs to the line." Harmony is based on benevolence. The inner and the heart are benevolent, then they are subdivided into benevolence and wisdom, and the outer and behavioral rites are subdivided into etiquette and music. Therefore, benevolence and wisdom are combined. belongs to the heart, and the general outline is benevolence; Etiquette and music are combined into the outside, belonging to the line, and the general outline is the ceremony; The combination of inside and outside is benevolence and courtesy, and the general outline is benevolence. ”

After a pause, Zhang Xiu further explained: "Those who are benevolent must be affectionate, so they are more loyal." However, it can also be overly pedantic; The heart belongs to the wise. It is necessary to emphasize wisdom and wisdom, and to emphasize the wise, and it is easy to be mean. Therefore, the sage is benevolent, and he needs to be benevolent and wise. There is also benevolence in wisdom, that is, true loyalty must be wise, and true wisdom and wisdom. It must also be simple and loyal. This is called the true benevolence of the heart. ”

Seeing everyone's thoughtful expressions, some of them directly picked up the carving knife and bamboo slips they carried, recorded Zhang Xiu's words, and waited for almost a quarter of an hour, seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhang Xiucai continued: "I just said my heart, now I say okay." Divide the rites and pleasures in the line, and the etiquette is the rule. However, it is not good for those who are too rigid and strict in their rules; The musician is pleasant, and the person who takes too much pleasure will be dissolute, but he will not think that it is a true gift of benevolence and wisdom. It is to be able to follow the rules and be happy. Fang is the right principle, this is the etiquette and music. ”

Zhang Xiu concluded: "Such a unity of inside and outside. Hearter. Loyal and intelligent; The practitioner is both obedient and happy, and this party is truly benevolent. And it is best for people to do so. ”

After hearing this, everyone wrote down these words. After waiting for a while, someone asked: "The general's words can be said to open our eyes, but how can we achieve the unity of internal and external?" You must know that it is easy to be benevolent and wise in your heart, but it is difficult to be polite and happy. ”

After listening to this, Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "This question is very good." In fact, the sage has already given us the answer, and that is filial piety. Filial piety to parents is both benevolence and wisdom in the heart. As far as the line is concerned, it is both polite and polite. And for fun. Therefore, filial piety is benevolence, wisdom, courtesy, and happiness, and the realm of internal and external unity. ”

When they heard this, they all came to a state of enlightenment. Cai Yi and other celebrities in front also high-fived and praised: "Wonderful, it's really wonderful." Zhang Xiu saw that his lecture was very successful, and he was secretly relieved in his heart, but his remarks were a more reasonable remark after more than 2,000 years of discussion among many Confucian masters. Among them, the emphasis on benevolence and wisdom even cites the content of the study of the mind, which was only proposed in the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Xiu moved it out.

This is said and so successful, but it has added a lot of confidence to Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Xiu himself is also glad that he read a lot of books before crossing over. Although they do not have the same deep understanding of the scriptures as the people of this day. But the words of the saints can be interpreted from many later perspectives.

Zhang Xiu's remarks were a change... All students! The previous image, in the eyes of everyone, Zhang Xiu is no longer the reckless man who only knows how to charge forward in the competition, but a great talent with both civil and military skills. Everyone knows it. Benevolence is the core of Confucianism, but no one can explain the word benevolence for so many years.

Zhang Xiu was able to explain Ren so clearly and clearly, letting everyone know that Ren is not simply pedantic, but loyal with wisdom and requires a clear mind. When observing the ritual, it is not to keep it rigidly, but to adjust the rigidity of the ritual with music, and to suppress the dissolute form caused by music with ritual. In this way, we can be benevolent in our hearts and deeds, and this is the highest state of being a human being in the hearts of saints, and this is what everyone can do.

Zhang Xiu smiled and waited for everyone to record. Cai continued: "What we just said is benevolence, and now what we are talking about is righteousness, you can know the righteousness of Mencius. Where did it come from? ”

This question is out. Some of the people in the audience were puzzled, and some showed a look of knowing a little. But he didn't speak, in short, his demeanor was different. But it wasn't like a rush to answer.

Zhang Xiu saw that everyone didn't answer, so he said to himself: "After the sage, there is Mo Cheng, who created the Mo family, and what the Mo family said was righteousness, and what he followed was the will of heaven." The ink scholar thinks that the benevolence of Confucianism only extends to himself and not to others. Therefore, Mo's words are meaningful, the Lord and love, and he has a cloud to regard the father of a man as his father, so Mencius has a cloud, and Mo's has love, and he is fatherless. Before Mencius, the Mo clan practiced righteousness. ”

After a pause, Zhang Xiu continued: "The righteousness of the Mo clan. But it's too harsh. People are not plants. Who can be ruthless, even if the father of a man is regarded as his father, but the father of a man is ultimately different from his own father, and there are only a few people in the world who can practice the righteousness. Later, Mencius took the meaning of Mo and abandoned the harshness of Mo, and said benevolence to himself and righteousness to others, and the concept of benevolence and righteousness was established. It was also after Mencius that Mo's declined. However, the essence of Mo's essence has actually been taken by Mencius and returned to Confucianism. Therefore, today's people only remember Mencius and forget Mo. ”

Zhang Xiu waited for everyone to remember it before he continued: "After Mencius, there is Xun Qing, Xun Qing is courtesy, and he guides people with courtesy. However, at that time, the rites collapsed. Etiquette is not enough to guide people, so the Dharma prevails. The law is the punishment and the government. However, the death of the violent Qin, it can be known that the law is too strict, and the people can't bear it. Hence the death of Qin. However, the world is also impossible, and only with the law can the country be rich and the army strong. Therefore, there are contradictions between ritual and law, but there are also blends. Etiquette and law are actually related to benevolence and wisdom; Etiquette and music are general, not only one side, and etiquette is not enough to guide the people, then the law should not be harsh. Rituals and laws need to coexist, and neither can be abandoned. ”

After that, Zhang Xiu explained some of the essence of Taoism, famous masters, yin and yang masters of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and it was not until the evening that Zhang Xiu announced the end of the lecture. During this time, no one left. Every student listened carefully to Zhang Xiu's lecture and made a record, and after the lecture was over, no one questioned Zhang Xiu's ability to serve as the priest of this palace.

After the lecture, Zhang Xiu set up a banquet to entertain Sima Hui, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan, and Zhuge Jin. Zhang Xiu didn't bother when he saw it. At the banquet, Zhang Xiu still talked to the three elders of Sima Hui the most, as for Zhuge Jin, he was just listening quietly, and Zhang Xiu only said a few words to him.

After seven consecutive days, when Cai Yi, Sima Hui and other seven people gave lectures in Nanyang Xue Palace, the most people listened to the classes of Sima Hui and Cai Yi, and there were many Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. As for Zhang Lu, it is the least. After all, Taoism is not as prosperous as it was in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion led by Zhang Jiao has a Taoist nature.

At a time when a large number of scholars are concentrated in the Nanyang School Palace. In the backyard of the General's Mansion, Zhang Xiu said to Zhuge Jin: "Ziyu, let's try this tea." After speaking, he poured fragrant tea for Zhuge with his own hands.

Zhuge was also polite, and after drinking the tea in one gulp, he said with a smile: "Fresh and elegant, fragrant on the teeth and cheeks." Sure enough, it is the beloved thing of my life. Since tea was sold in Wancheng, people from all over the world stopped drinking alcohol and turned to tea. ”

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Tea is just an occasional embroidery." After a try, it is the best in the world. Zhuge Jin smiled, and chatted with Zhang Xiu without hurry, and after talking for about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Xiu asked with a smile: "I don't know what Ziyu has about the general trend of the world?" ”

Zhuge said with a smile: "The general trend of the world, the division of a long time must be combined for a long time, and now the heroes are divided into one side, the Han family exists in name only, and the heroes are all effective Qin Emperor Gaozu, and the ambition to sweep the world is also, but it is not yet known who will kill the deer."

Zhang Xiu heard that Zhuge was not shy about it, so he asked: "Han lost his deer, Ziyu thinks that Fang is the best man today, who has the greatest chance to get it?"

Zhuge thought for a while and said: "The two males of Hebei are contending, Yuan Shao has already taken the advantage, Gongsun Zhan's defeat is only a matter of time, and the hero of Hebei should be Yuan Shao." Cao Cao of the Central Plains, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, in the name of righteousness to conquer the Quartet and not the ministers, recently heard that Huainan Yuan Shu entered Xuzhou, although Lu Bu was brave, only afraid of the two tigers, the lord of the Central Plains should be produced between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu. Jiangdong Sun Jianming is mainly based on Yuan Shu, but Yang is against Yin, but he has a gap with Liu Biao. Yuan Shu used it to balance Liu Biao. However, Sun Jian has the Yangtze River natural insurance, which can be described as stable as Mount Tai. And the general has newly defeated Ma Teng and Han Sui, and the alliance between the two has collapsed, so it is not bad if you think carefully. Yongliang should be in the general's pocket. ”

Zhang Xiuxiao asked with a smile: "Ziyu thinks that what should have happened?" ”

Zhuge replied: "Don't be in a hurry.

The general is newly subordinate, but the division has been abandoned for several years, and has become a burden to the general, and the division must be governed well first, so that it is no longer burdened by the general, and then ask for Yongliang. Han Sui is suspicious, changeable by nature, and has prestige in Liangzhou, this person can't stay, and he should be destroyed in a war. Ma Tengnai was the general of Fubo, after Ma Yuan, and was known for his prestige among the Qiang people. And the Ma family was born in the door, and his personality is relatively straightforward. The general can collect it and use it to calm the Qiang people of Liangzhou. A cool place. The rear of the general is stable. After cultivating for several years, you can fight for the three states in the north, and you can attack Chongzhou in the east, and you can attack the heroes of Hebei and the Central Plains in the south, and you can attack Yizhou in the south, and become a strong Qin, and look at the eastern part of the country. ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and praised: "Wonderful, Ziyu is really talented, I don't know if Ziyu is willing to be a leader, and he will be treated by Nanyang County." ”
