Chapter 7 The King of Chu lost his bow, and the people of Chu gained it
"The child dares to insult me."
Gongsun Long lifted the long sword and was about to rush over and hack Zhao Kuo to death, but was dragged by the doormen on both sides.
If Gongsun Long is really allowed to rush over with his sword, not to mention killing Zhao Kuo, even if two people scuffle, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains as the master, will become the laughing stock of the Seven Kingdoms.
As a disciple of Plains Jun, he will never allow others to do this.
"I just told a story that my father taught me at the beginning, why is Mr. Zibing so angry and says that he insulted you?"
Zhao Kuo blinked his eyes, looked innocent and puzzled, and looked at Gongsun Long cutely.
Gongsun Long almost vomited a mouthful of old blood on Zhao Kuo's face.
However, Gongsun Long is Gongsun Long after all, and his cultivation is extremely high, so he sat back on the seat under the persuasion of several doormen.
He glanced at Zhao Kuo resentfully, took a deep breath, bowed to Zhao Kuo, and said, "Long apologizes to Ma Fuzi for his previous recklessness. ”
Zhao Kuo was a little surprised, straightened his body, sat on his knees, and looked ahead.
Not to forgive Gongsun Long, but because he knew that the real challenge was coming.
Gongsun Long said: "Back then, the king of Chu once opened his weak bow, loaded it with an arrow of death, and hunted in Yunmeng's farm, but lost the bow. The attendants begged to find it. The king of Chu said, "No need. The king of Chu lost his bow, and the Chu people got it, so why bother looking for it? Confucius heard this and said, "The benevolence and righteousness of the king of Chu have not yet been achieved." It should be said that people lose their bows and people gain them, so why do you need to talk about Chu State? Therefore, Confucius said that Chu people are not people. Why do people agree with Confucius's Chu people as non-human, but deny that my white horse is not a horse? ”
When Pingyuan Jun heard this, he suddenly came to his senses and wanted to see how Zhao Kuo debated.
Five years ago, Confucius's sixth grandson Kong Chuan, came to Gongsun Long to debate, and it was here that Gongsun Long had nothing to say.
At that time, Hirahara-kun was watching from the side.
Now, the same position, the same spectators, the same Gongsun Long, but the protagonist sitting opposite Gongsun Long has changed.
"Huh." Zhao Kuo first sneered twice, and then said: "First of all, Confucius never said that Chu people are not people, but that Chu people are not people from other countries. Confucius was separating the Chu people from other people, not separating the Chu people from others. According to Jun's saying, the white horse is not a horse, and the Chu people are not human, so aren't the Zhao people also non-human, Jun is a Zhao person, so the Jun is not a human. This time, Pingyuanjun invited people to the banquet, since you are not human, then please leave. ”
Zhao Kuo waved his hand, looking disgusted, as if swatting a fly.
"Ma Fuzi, Hugh is talking nonsense, Mr. Zibing is my honored guest." Pingyuanjun hurriedly played a round.
Zhao Kuo saluted to the plain, as an apology, and continued: "Secondly, people agree with Confucius's words, it does not mean that I, Zhao Kuo, agree. ”
Kong is limited to the identity of the descendants of Confucius, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he has to say that Confucius is right, but Zhao Kuo is not a descendant of Confucius.
When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly changed a little, especially several of the Confucian disciples, if they didn't have a certain amount of cultivation, they had already stood up and scolded Zhao Kuo.
During this period, although China had not yet experienced the deposition of the hundred schools, it respected Confucianism.
Confucius's status was far from being sacrosanct in the future.
But after all, Confucius is the founder of Confucianism, and Confucianism, as a prominent scholar, has a lofty status as its founder, which is by no means something that a young person can question.
Zhao Kuo didn't seem to see everyone's reaction, and continued: "The king of Chu lost his bow and the people of Chu got it, which represents the free and easy of the king of Chu, and at the same time, there is also the love of the king of Chu for the people. It's just a bow, if you lose it, you lose it, and it will be obtained by the people of Chu anyway. ”
"As the king of Chu, it is already great to be able to love the people of his country, why should he be allowed to love the people of the world? He has no responsibility, and he doesn't have this obligation. Confucius said that the king of Chu was not benevolent and righteous enough, so did Confucius ever "lose his bow" to the people of the world? ”
Gongsun Long and several Confucian disciples turned pale and pale, and some people wanted to stand up and accuse Zhao Kuo, but they didn't know how to accuse.
Confucius preached "propriety" and "benevolence" all his life, but he failed to realize his ideals in his life and sprinkled the brilliance of "propriety" and "benevolence" to the world.
Therefore, in his later years, he lived in seclusion and compiled the Six Classics in order to pass on his thoughts.
If it is after the deposition of Confucianism by the hundred schools, someone may be able to refute Zhao Kuo.
Now I can only be speechless.
Pingyuan Jun patted his thigh, shouting in his heart, even the descendants of Confucius had never argued with Gongsun Long, but he didn't expect Zhao Kuo to argue.
Zhao Kuo changed his words and continued: "But this can't be blamed on Confucius, after all, the king of Chu sits on thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and his wealth is not comparable to Confucius. ”
Seeing that Gongsun Long and the Confucian disciples had better faces, Zhao Kuo sneered in his heart and continued:
"Since Mr. Zibing admires Confucius so much, he must also have Confucius's heart to help the world, but I have a question I want to ask Mr."
"Ma Fuzi, please speak." Gongsun Long Dao.
"Now that the Qin State is invading, the 600,000 troops are knocking on the border, the people of the Zhao State are struggling to make a living, and the soldiers on the front line are hungry and cold. If Mr. Zibing had a million stone of grain, would he donate it to the country? ”
"Yes, I will definitely donate all of it to the country to support the front line." Gongsun Long said immediately. Righteousness and strictness, full of brilliance.
"And what if there is a thousand stone of grain?" Zhao Kuo asked again.
Gongsun Long opened his mouth, his face seemed to change, from white to green, from green to black, and finally he didn't speak.
For he really has a thousand stones of grain, which the plain king had given him just a few days ago.
"Huh." Zhao Kuolang smiled.
The voice was so harsh, not only to Gongsun Long, but to everyone present.
"It seems that everyone here has the heart to help the world, let's go."
Zhao Kuo shook his head, got up, and walked towards the outside of the mansion.
"Wait." Gongsun Long got up and said: "If Ma Fuzi can win my white horse and not a horse, I will not only donate all the money and food of the whole family, but also be willing to be a slave for life and serve Ma Fuzi." ”
"Are you sure?" Zhao Kuo looked at Gongsun Long.
The logic of the so-called white horse and non-horse may be a little difficult for the ancients, but for Zhao Kuo, it is too simple, which has nothing to do with IQ, but a matter of insight.
Zhao Kuo, who comes from the lower reaches of history, has too many advantages.
"Please give me advice." Gongsun Long bowed to Zhao Kuo, very persistent.
Zhao Kuo returned to his seat and looked at Gongsun Long.
"In my opinion, a horse is a form, white is a color, and color and form are different, so a white horse is not a horse." Gongsun Long Dao.
Pingyuan-kun and the doorman also listened attentively.
In the past, the nobles had nothing to do, so they liked to fight with each other, and each side drove a chariot to bet on which side would win.
Later, some people felt that the fight was too bloody and barbaric, and it did not conform to the aristocratic temperament.
As a nobleman, you should stay away from blood, sit at the table and listen to people's debates.
The aristocracy vied with each other to imitate.
As a result, the struggle of civilized people has changed from using their hands to moving their mouths.
This is an important sign of humanity's march from barbarism to civilization.
