In the Han Dynasty, it was common to conduct scholarly debates.

From the controversy between the Western Han Dynasty and the ancient scriptures, to the Eastern Han Dynasty White Tiger View Conference, the debate in the academic community has not stopped.

One of the more famous controversies at the end of the Han Dynasty was the debate between the great Confucian He Xiu and the great Confucian Zheng Xuan.

In addition, there are many other classic debate tournaments.

For example, Zheng Xuan was once forcibly recruited by Yuan Shao, and there were many celebrities at the banquet at that time, competing for heresy, and hundreds of schools of thought rose up against each other, Zheng Xuan debated one by one, and they were convinced.

There is also Zhuge Liang's battle with Confucianism in Jiangdong, although it is a fabrication of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is not without a prototype in history, reflecting a scene where everyone sat together and debated with each other at that time.

And the real battle of Confucianism was when Fei Yi and Dong Hui, the ministers of the Ji and Han dynasties, sent envoys to Eastern Wu and re-established an alliance with Sun Quan, Sun Quan sent Zhuge Ke and Yang Wei to debate with them.

Therefore, debate was very common in the Han Dynasty, and its role was as follows: one is to promote one's own doctrine and argue with others on academic arguments. The second is to promote fame as a way to become famous.

The third and most important point is to achieve a certain goal through debate. For example, the dispute between He Xiu and Zheng Xuan is a continuation of the dispute between modern and ancient scriptures in the Western Han Dynasty. The debate between Fei Yi and Dong Hui's envoys to Eastern Wu was to complete the strategic goal of uniting Wu to resist Wei.

Today, many children of the family gather here, and they also have their purpose. suppressed Shen Chen to prevent him from continuing to propagate his anti-Cao ideology, and to avoid the future when they wanted to join the imperial court, so they were hated by Cao Cao.

At the same time, if Shen Chen can be suppressed, Cao Cao may be very happy, and if he is happy to give them an official position and summon them to Xuchang as Beijing officials, wouldn't it be a soaring prosperity?

So naturally, I had to come over and smash the field.

But to smash Shen Chen's field today, that is to block the way for Shen Chen to speak.

This is his avenue.

The battle of the avenue is the struggle of life and death.

Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao in order to teach the Dao of this person.

That's why he is murderous, if he wants to talk about martial arts, he will naturally be superior to the inferior, and he will also decide life and death.

These so-called children of the family in the crowd were frightened by him for a while, shocked by his momentum, and involuntarily retreated.

However, not everyone is a flower from the greenhouse, there are real talented scholars in it, and naturally there are also true Confucian students who travel all over the world, dare to hang a sword on their waists, visit famous teachers in troubled times, and learn knowledge.

For example, that Wen Xia, who came from Chaling to worship under Wang Junmen, was a true Confucian who dared to fencing, and when he saw Shen Chen faintly threatening everyone, he was not angry for a while, and stood up and said: "If it is about swords, then you will lose if everyone goes together?" ”

Shen Chen smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Don't misunderstand, when it comes to swords, it is natural to be fair, one-on-one is fine, fencing and archery are fine." But if you want to go together, then I can also go together, you say no! ”

"Ho ho!"

The twenty warriors who were standing in the courtyard to maintain order from the Yellow Gate Pavilion drew their ring-headed knives one after another, and roared in unison.

They are all warriors who fought bravely with Cao's army, and which one of them did not have three or five lives under his hands?

Born in battlefield fighting, the murderous spirit is far from being comparable to ordinary people.

The Confucian scholar with the highest force value here is probably Xu Shu, but when Xu Shu encounters these twenty people together, he can only fall with hatred, and it is impossible to survive.

Therefore, in the face of the shouts of these brave men, many soldiers also shrank their heads one by one.

They only remembered now that they had killed tens of thousands of elites of the Cao army with soldiers and horses, and also cut off the heads of Cao Ren, the generals of the Cao army, and the warriors who were happy to enter the head.

If he really does it, I'm afraid that the entire Jingzhou will be able to handle him by Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and Huang Zu.

Because Huangmen Pavilion has now expanded its troops, to 2,000 people, and there are more than 5,000 people under Gan Ning's command, and his strength is strong.

Except for Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Huang Zu and others, who each have one or two thousand soldiers and horses under their hands, they can barely suppress him, and no one can really control him.

Therefore, to a certain extent, politically Liu Biao protected him, military strength is not weak, and economically and agriculturally, Huangmen Pavilion is now comparable to a city.

If you want to suppress Shen Chen, there is no way to come from these levels, and you can really only rely on debate and attack his academic status and reputation to squeeze out.

Thinking of this, many Confucian students were a little desperate for a while.

They found that even if they fought against the sword, even if they won against Shen Chen and killed him, then they would definitely not have a way to survive today, and even their family would not have a way to live.

After all, Deng Hong is the son-in-law of the Cai family, and Shen Chen has thousands of soldiers and horses behind him and Liu Biao's support.

Those "royalist" high-ranking people would never mind throwing a small family in the county out as scapegoats to appease the anger of Liu Biao and the Xinye Deng family.

Even if Cai Mao wanted to kill Shen Chen, he had to weigh it, let alone them?

So to a certain extent, Shen Chen could propose to compete with them, but they couldn't really have the courage to fight him, so they could only come to Wen Dou.

Fortunately, they themselves came to Wendou today, even if they were suppressed by Shen Chen, it was not a burden to propose Wendou.

Hu Shang, the son of Hu Zheng, because his father was Cai Mao's confidant, and he was barely the leader of these beings, stood up and said: "The gentleman does not fight, fights and kills, what kind of system does it become, or use literature to decide the superior." ”

"Hmph, what gentleman doesn't fight? Distorting the holy will, talking nonsense, didn't you hear the next sentence "the battle will be won"? ”

Shen Chen snorted coldly, let go of the sword that was touching his waist, and slowly walked forward and said, "However, the sword on the waist of Confucian scholars such as Han'er is just a thing in a basket, and it should be used for decoration. I came from Xuzhou, and I have seen more than 100,000 corpses. Nanyang went into battle to kill the enemy, and he was even more slashed by Cao Cao's general Cao Renlejin, who couldn't wait for his own strength, how dare he compete with me? ”

When Hu Shang saw him coming, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, speaking of which Shen Chen was only twelve years old, his height was just one meter seven, and there were many people who were taller than him in the audience, but he practiced martial arts every day, he didn't worry about meat, eggs and milk, he was burly and strong, and his face was calm, and he looked quite fierce.

What's more important is that he has the momentum of fighting on the battlefield, which is far from being comparable to these greenhouse flowers of them, so Hu Shang said in horror: "It is said that it is good to use literature to decide the superior, but naturally you can't use martial arts." ”

"Of course."

Shen Chen came to the door of the hall, his eyes were majestic, and he looked at many Confucian students: "Since it is a discussion of the scriptures, I am not afraid, this time I will sit down and discuss the Tao, then I will come." ”

As he spoke, he brought a mat and sat cross-legged on the spot, motioning for them to sit down and talk.

The students behind him looked at his back, only feeling that the teacher was domineering, and they all looked at him with great reverence.

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty, Chinese civilization constructed a social hierarchical order based on agricultural civilization as the mode of production, emphasizing centralization, and building on the culture of "loyalty and filial piety".

Under such a social order, a pyramid-like strict hierarchical structure was extended, especially during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, when this hierarchy reached its peak.

From top to bottom, the Son of Heaven, the Three Princes and the Nine Emperors, the high-ranking magnates, and then to the local Taishou, the wealthy families in the county, each layer is like a difficult step to cross.

What the people at the bottom can come into contact with are not even those local county orders and county tycoons, but the ranks, pavilion chiefs, and village elders in the township.

These students recruited by Shen Chen were all from poor backgrounds and had a very low social status, even if they were the pavilion chief or village elders, in their eyes, they were all big figures who could decide their life and death, not to mention those wealthy families in the county.

The carriage of the Hao clan passed by the Xiangting, and even if it was close, it was not allowed to approach, and if it accidentally collided with them, it would even be life-threatening.

So in their opinion, these are the big people they can hardly touch on weekdays.

But it is such a big man, who is now being scolded and taught by their teachers like this, how can they not make the students excited, not let them feel that there is hope for reading, and let them feel that they have a promising future?

The scholars who came to the door to provoke didn't know that Shen Chen's style had inspired his students, they just felt that Shen Chen had disgusted them, and they were also indignant at the moment, and began to sit down, huhula and sat all over the ground in the courtyard.

The house that Shen Chen bought covers an area of two acres, the front yard is very large, about two hundred square meters, and a few big trees are planted in the yard, which is green in summer, and more than ten mats are neatly placed on the floor tiles paved with bluestone slabs, because I didn't expect so many people to come, so the rest of the beings can only stand.

If you grab the position, you will sit opposite Shen Chen, and those who don't grab the position will line up first, and the lively villagers and scholars will be watching around, and behind Shen Chen are his students, and the entire courtyard is crowded with spectators, all of whom want to watch a wonderful debate meeting. Eight Chinese Net

"Please, in Liao Bai, Xia Deng County, the word is long pine."

The first was about thirty years old, a young man with a clear face and a goatee.

Shen Chen said in a deep voice: "Xuzhou Xiangben Shen Chen, please take your step." ”

Liao Bai asked: "I don't know what kind of classic Xiaolang is?" ”

Shen Chen smiled: "Mr. said it to himself." ”

In other words, the content is not circled, which makes Liao Bai quite unhappy.

At that time, the literati mainly governed the Seven Classics of Confucianism, and the general scholars had to study one for a long time, and as long as they studied it more thoroughly, they could learn others.

There are even some people who don't study anything else at all, and directly study a book until they are old, such as Chen Guoming's Yingrong, who specializes in the study of "The Left Biography of the Spring and Autumn Period", and his achievements in this book are very great.

And only a true Confucian can study many scriptures clearly, what Shen Chen means by this is that even if you have your problems, I can solve the Seven Classics.

There must be some ability to take the lead, this Liao Baizhi is Analects, originally wanted to be gentle at the beginning, take your time first, but he was angry with Shen Chen's arrogance, and immediately said: "The evil purple snatches Zhu Ye, the evil Zheng Sheng's rebellion Yale also, and the evil Likou overthrows the state family, what does Xiao Lang want?" ”

This is secretly scolding himself for being demagoguery, Shen Chen immediately sneered: "I don't know what Mr. said? ”

Liao Bai hugged his fists to the north and said: "The ministers are always in vain and ignore the imperial court. Why does the country know that the emperor is also known as the Son of Heaven, and the law of the world is also. Is there any reason in this world to disrespect the superior? Isn't this a kingless and fatherless? ”

The set he said was in the White Tiger View Conference, which was sorted out by the Great Confucianism at that time and sorted out by Ban Gu, which was also the main classic that influenced the feudal civilization of the later two thousand years, advocating the Three Principles and Five Constants, which had a profound impact on the Song and Ming Dynasty Theory.

According to the words of later generations, this book is to preach the maintenance of the shackles of feudal rule, the chains that bind the spirit of the people, and lay the foundation for the 2,000-year-old feudal system in China, the deification of the feudal order, and the solidification of the hierarchical class.

Shen Chen naturally knew what Liao Bai meant.

Cao Cao had Liu Xie in his hands, that is, in the name of the Son of Heaven to conquer the Quartet, and when he went to deal with Cao Cao, he went against the will of the imperial court and the will of the Son of Heaven.

Although he knew that this so-called idea of loyalty to the monarch was the dregs of maintaining feudal rule, it was impossible for Shen Chen to oppose it, so he had to find another angle.

After thinking for a moment, he said coldly: "According to Mr., Cao Cao is the Son of Heaven?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately set off an uproar.

Liao Bai was instantly dumbfounded, and waved his hand again and again: "You don't want to talk nonsense, I have no such intention." ”

"Da Dan, Shen Chen, how can you say such a big rebellious thing."

Immediately, some people shouted loudly.

Those scholars who came to find fault were furious and accused Shen Chen one after another.

The surrounding people and onlookers also looked at Shen Chen with a look of surprise, they didn't expect him to dare to say such a thing.

Later generations may not understand the lethality caused by this sentence at that time, if you take an example, this is no different from shouting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty.

However, the Han Dynasty rarely punished crimes with words, and there was once a great Confucian Yuan Gusheng who said something more out of line than this, and there was no.

So as long as you can make sense, it's fine.

Hearing this, Shen Chen said indifferently: "This is Mr. Liao's meaning, what does it have to do with me?" According to his meaning, I sent troops to fight against Cao Cao, which was not only against the imperial court, but also to mess up the ministers. ”

"Cao Sikong said that in the name of the Son of Heaven."

Someone said.

Shen Chen nodded: "Oh, there are more people in the world who claim to be in the name of the Son of Heaven, so I will ask you, does Cao Cao have a famous edict?" Is there a knot? Where is the edict? How can he represent the court and the Son of Heaven? ”

"This, this, this ......"

Liao Bai was speechless for a while.

Now Liu Xie doesn't even have the jade seal of the country in his hand, where can he go to the edict?

However, at that time, the imperial power did not rely entirely on edicts, and the fake Jieyue could also represent the emperor and the imperial court.

Many people know this.

The so-called false festival is that the emperor gives the highest military power to the ministers, and there is no need to ask for instructions when fighting abroad, and can even directly kill the soldiers and local officials in the army who violate military orders.

Cao Cao was nominally an edict to beg for thieves, but if he didn't have an edict, he could also represent that he was going out on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

The problem is that he doesn't.

Therefore, perhaps Cao Cao did greet Liu Xie before he traveled, but Liu Xie did not directly issue an edict or give him a thrift, so he was conscripting Nanyang in his private name, which is legally untenable.

And Liao Bai was accusing Shen Chen with the law from the beginning, and Shen Chen stuck to the law, saying that your law is a fake law, and my law is true, use magic to defeat magic and teach him to be a man.

Shen Chen sneered: "Zi said: "The one who overthrows the state family with evil mouth" is to let everyone distinguish between right and wrong, uphold righteousness and eliminate evil, but it is not for everyone to talk nonsense and confuse the public. ”

Liao Bai was speechless for a while, so he had to give up his hand and retire from the meeting.

The second place followed.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
