Chapter 171: Sophistry
"Then let me ask again, from the beginning, did people know 'horse' first, or did they know 'white horse' first?", Lu Ming asked. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Well...... this"
An Yan was stunned for a moment, if he asked the bottom line, he really didn't know the answer to this question.
Lu Ming said again: "Then let me ask more simply, is there a 'horse' or a 'white horse' in this world?"
An Yan pondered for a moment, and then replied: "Of course, there are horses first, and it is precisely because of the 'horse' that everyone can distinguish between white horses, black horses and yellow horses. ”
"So, 'horse' is a general term for all colored horses, and you don't object to that, do you?"
An Yan frowned, and then replied: "Of course I won't object." ”
Lu Ming smiled slightly, and said slowly: "There is a word 'horse' in the word 'white horse', which means that 'white horse' is one of many types of horses, so if 'white horse is not a horse', then 'white horse' is not a horse, since a white horse is not a 'horse', then it can't call itself a 'white horse', since it is not a 'horse' or a 'white horse', what is a 'white horse'?"
An Yan's face changed in shock, and the strength of Wen Courage became extremely unstable in an instant, almost bursting away.
If An Yan can't explain this, it won't be enough to justify himself, then his 'white horse is not a horse' theory will be self-defeating!"
"Lu Maocai is simply a genius, to be able to refute 'white horses are not horses' in such a way, wonderful, really wonderful!"
"I didn't expect Lu Maocai to have such excellent argumentative skills, and it seems that it is not impossible to argue against An Yan. ”
Many readers began to have confidence in Lu Ming, but on the other hand, the miscellaneous readers turned red one by one, as if they had been slapped in the face.
"Lu Ming, Lu Ming, I didn't expect me to underestimate you!"
An Yan snorted coldly, and then said slowly: "I'll tell you a story, if you can still refute it, I will admit defeat!"
"Please. Lu Ming's face was solemn.
"Back then, the king of Chu once opened his weak bow, loaded it with arrows of death, and hunted in Yunmeng's farm, but lost the bow, and the entourage asked to find it, and the king of Chu said: 'No need, the people of Chu have lost their bows, and the people of Chu have picked them up, so why look for it?'
"After hearing this, Kong Sheng said: 'The benevolence and righteousness of the king of Chu have not yet been achieved, it should be said that people have lost their bows and people have picked them up, so why talk about the state of Chu?'"
Therefore, according to this, Confucius distinguishes between Chu people and people, and everyone affirms that Kong Sheng distinguishes Chu people from people, but denies Gongsun's statement that distinguishes white horses from horses, so this is wrong. ”
After finishing speaking, An Yan showed a rampant look, and his eyes scanned everyone, as if he was high up and looking down on everyone.
All the readers were shocked, and some looked incredulous and whispered.
"Brother Zhang, you are familiar with history, is An Yan's words true or false?"
"I've read about this in a book, and An Yan is not wrong at all. ”
"It's miserable! Lu Ming is on the opposing side, isn't questioning 'white horses not horses' the same as questioning Kong Sheng? This An Yan is so powerful that he actually moved Kong Sheng out. ”
The children of the miscellaneous family were ecstatic one by one, as if they had seen Lu Mingwen's broken heart, and they were all happy.
"Haha...... Lu Ming, what else do you have to say at this time! As a scholar, you dare to question the words of Confucius Sheng, can your literary courage not be broken!"
An Yan shouted angrily for the last time, and the powerful force of courage emanated out, slamming into Lu Ming's courage.
"Poof!"
Lu Ming spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turned pale, and An Yan was even more arrogant when he saw this.
"Lu Maocai!"
"Brother Lu Ming!"
Many scholars screamed, their faces turned red with anger, and they wanted to beat An Yan hard.
Because in everyone's hearts, Lu Ming is not only Maocai, but more importantly, he is the first assistant for the people of Liang State, so that Liang Jun can order the army to kill demons, and he also created powerful war poems, which is an example for many scholars to learn.
Seeing with their own eyes that the human courage of the people they admire is injured, how can they not be angry?
"You don't have to worry, I'm fine!"
Lu Ming wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, held his head high, and didn't do anything at all.
"How is it possible!, why isn't your courage broken!", An Yan suddenly became furious.
"Because you misinterpreted the meaning of the saint!", Lu Ming shouted.
"You say I've misinterpreted the meaning of the saint? haha...... Lu Ming, don't insist any longer, you can't refute my 'white horse is not a horse', obediently self-defeating, and you won't lose too badly!"
After An Yan shouted out these words, he had completely torn his face with Lu Ming, and it was completely hostile.
Lu Ming said loudly: "An Yan, you are simply not human!"
"Presumptuous!"
An Yan slapped the table and said loudly: "Lu Ming, as a scholar, how can you be dirty and humiliate me in public!"
"I didn't humiliate you, what I said was the truth!", Lu Ming said.
"You...... Lu Ming, I warn you, if you dare to humiliate my literary name again, I will definitely be finished with you!"
"What I say is well-founded, not groundless, An Yan, you are not a human at all!", Lu Ming shouted.
"It's too much!", An Yan gritted his teeth in anger.
The children of the miscellaneous family couldn't help it, "Lu Ming, even if you can't debate An Yan, you can't humiliate him in public, this is shameful as a scholar!"
"That's right, if you don't apologize to Brother An Yan, we're not done with you!"
"I'm going to post this matter on the article list, so that everyone can comment on it!"
Lu Ming's classmates were suddenly extremely ashamed, they didn't expect Lu Ming to be so excited, and directly humiliate the other party for not being human, this is simply a public attack on his literary name.
Lu Ming sneered and asked, "Brother An Yan is a scholar?"
"Nonsense, of course I'm a reader!"
"According to the logic of 'white horses are not horses', the 'scholars' are not 'people'!"
"What are you talking about!", An Yan's face was shocked.
"The white horse is not a horse, which means that the white horse is different from the horse, so the white horse and the horse are distinguished, and Confucius also uses this to distinguish the 'Chu people' from the 'people', so in the same way, the 'scholars' are naturally different from the 'people', so what is wrong with me saying that you are not a person!"
"You don't dare to admit that you are not a 'human', so according to the same logic, what is the difference between you and questioning Kong Sheng!"
Lu Ming shouted angrily for the last time, and the powerful force of courage suddenly erupted, crashing away like a stormy wave.
"Wow!"
An Yan's gall suddenly cracked, and when he opened his mouth, he spat out a stream of blood, his eyes flashed with stars, and he cried out in a lost voice: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! My courage is as solid as a rock, how can it crack!" (To be continued.) )
