Chapter 225: Three Children's Debate
Liu Man was already eager to try, there seemed to be a small flame burning in his eyes, and he pretended to arch his hand and said, "Yang Chuan Xiaolangjun, you can ask any question?" ”
Yang Chuan nodded with a smile and said warmly: "Dong Gong is a great Confucian in the world, the first scholar in the Han Dynasty, a pedantic man, well-read and knowledgeable, naturally no problem can trouble him."
You said yes, Dong Gong? ”
Dong Zhongshu smiled, twisted his beard and said, "Young Master Yangchuan, you dug a big hole and kicked the old man's buttocks."
If these three people ask some arithmetic questions, the old man doesn't know anything......
Yang Chuan pretended not to understand, stretched out two fingers, pinched two wild chrysanthemums in the tea bowl and put them in his mouth, chewing and tasting slowly, which was very tranquil.
Liu Man walked up to Dong Zhongshu, arched his hand casually, and asked, "Ask Dong Gong, being born as a human being, how is it different from a beast?" ”
Dong Zhongshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's okay, it's okay, it's not over-outline......
"Only kindness and forgiveness are enough." Dong Zhongshu smiled and said, "Princess Full Moon, are you still satisfied?" ”
Liu Man glanced back at Yang Chuan and continued to ask: "Zi said: Young but not grandchildren, long and unspoken, old and not dead is a thief...... Why? ”
Dong Zhongshu's old face stiffened for a while, and he twisted his beard and said: "To be old and not to die is to be a thief, and the original 'Analects of the Confucian Question' is about squatting on the original soil and not sitting down, waiting for the master's arrival; the master reproached him and said that when he was young, he did not observe the etiquette of humility, and when he was old, he had no name to teach his juniors; such a person is just so old and not dead, which is equivalent to being like a thief in life." ”
Liu Man was very surprised and asked: "Oh, Dong Gong is so powerful, he even memorizes the Analects so well!" ”
After finishing speaking, he arched his hand and retreated behind Zhang Anshi.
When it was Naren Toya's turn to 'ask for advice', the girl held her breath for a few moments, and suddenly asked: "The teacher told us the story of two children arguing about the sun, may I ask Dong Gong, is the sun close to us in the morning, or the sun is close to us at noon?" ”
Dong Zhongshu smiled and said indifferently: "The story of the two children arguing about the day is the words of the Warring States Liezi ridiculing the Confucian sages, and it should not be true. ”
Naren Toya tilted her head and thought about it, and asked curiously: "According to Dong Gong, is the sun close to us in the morning or close to us at noon?" ”
Dong Zhongshu glanced at Naren Tuoya meaningfully, then turned his head to look at Yang Chuan, and said, "What do you think?" ”
Naren Toya said very firmly: "Naturally, it is close to us in the morning, you see, the sun in the morning is as big as a millstone, and the sun at noon is as small as a sea bowl, it must be close and looks big." ”
Without waiting for Dong Zhongshu to speak, Liu Man, who was standing on the side, opened his mouth and shouted: "Hmph, it is clear that the sun is close to us at noon, otherwise, why is the weather hot at noon and cool in the morning?" ”
As a result, Liu Man and Naren Tuoya began to 'debate', and for a while, they had their own arguments and arguments, and the coherence was very clear.
Even, when the debate reaches the critical point, the two of them still have a tendency to move their hands and feet......
This scene made Dong Zhongshu, Sima Xiangru and other scholars look at each other, but no one spoke.
Yang Chuan watched coldly, and he had a rough idea in his heart: these scholars probably can't say why...... Right?
Especially Dong Zhongshu, his face looks very ugly at the moment, and he can't help but reach out and twist his beard, as if he can't wait to pull out two or three roots.
"Morning is near!"
"It's almost noon!"
"It's big in the morning, so it's close in the morning!"
"It's hot at noon, so it's close to noon!"
“……”
Listening to the crisp arguments between Liu Man and Naren Tuoya, Yang Chuan was in a good mood and inadvertently glanced at Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi's face was harmless, he blinked his eyes twice, walked up to Dong Zhongshu in a proper manner, and bowed his hand, and then said, "Please judge Dong Gong." ”
Dong Zhongshu looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile, his eyes were very kind, and showed a hint of appreciation, and said leisurely: "People in Chang'an Township say that Zhang Tang gave birth to a good son, and that's true." ”
"How about it, are you willing to worship the old man?"
Zhang Anshi replied respectfully: "If Dong Gong can clearly distinguish when the sun in the morning and the sun at noon are close to us, Zhang Anshi can consider worshipping under Dong Gong's door." ”
Looking at Zhang Anshi's harmless little face, Dong Zhongshu sighed and said, "Even Confucius can't distinguish the problem, and the old man is probably a little difficult."
However, since you want to see my Dong Zhongshu's knowledge, the old man might as well try to judge one or two. ”
After speaking, the old thief half-squinted his eyes, frowned slightly, and pondered for a long time......
"It should be closer to us at noon," Dong Zhongshu said indifferently: "The reason why the sun looks relatively big in the morning is nothing more than the fresh air, and the sungazers have just woken up, and their eyesight is the sharpest time of the day, so they can see more clearly."
What do you think? ”
The old thief glanced around, and after receiving a wave of admiration and admiration, he turned his eyes to Yang Chuan and said with a smile: "Young Master Yang Chuan, what do you think?" ”
Yang Chuan laughed and waved his hand again and again: "Don't be embarrassed for me with this kind of big problem, I said, I'm just a farmer who farms, and I haven't read a book for a few days, hahaha." ”
Dong Zhongshu sighed and was about to speak.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Anshi took a step back, bowed respectfully, and said, "Dong Gong, your knowledge is naturally great and excellent, and the juniors admire it very much.
However, your virtue is far inferior to that of Confucius. ”
Dong Zhongshu: "......"
Everyone: "......"
Everyone was a little confused, especially Sima Xiangru and those Confucian students, Huo Ran got up and scolded angrily in unison: "The erector is rude!" ”
Dong Zhongshu took a deep breath, the stiffness on his face gradually melted, and said with a smile: "The old man is just a junior, how dare he compare with Confucius." ”
Zhang Anshihun ignored Dong Zhongshu's words and continued: "Confucius's virtue is not said, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, he is a wise man; But Dong Gong!
You clearly don't know how to judge whether the sun is close in the morning or the sun is close to us at noon, and you have to put on a thoughtful look, such a teacher, there are so many in the world. ”
Dong Zhongshu.
Well, the face of this big man who reads is blue, white for a while, and finally the blood is surging, and a few green tendons in the corners of the forehead begin to burst out.
Shaft, how rude!
If these words were said in the mouths of Yang Chuan, Cao Xiang and others, he would still be able to bear it, after all, there are few gentlemen and evils in Chang'an City, and there are few polite goods......
However, how can a person endure such a degrading word from the mouth of a six- or seven-year-old child!
"Zhang Tang, this is your good son?"
Dong Zhongshu took a deep breath and didn't dare to tease Yang Chuan, but turned his head to look at Zhang Tang, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and said very coldly: "I heard that your mother is a well-known virtuous person in Chang'an Township, why did you Zhang Tang become a big Han cool official, and your son Zhang Anshi is so rude?" ”
Zhang Tang slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Dong Zhongshu, and said expressionlessly: "If the ancestors are virtuous, the descendants must be virtuous, then why are the descendants of Confucius all grass on the wall?"
In addition, why did the ancestors of the Zhou people make peace with the Qiang people, but they were able to give birth to virtuous elders like Zhou Gongdan and King Wen of Zhou?
Dong Zhongshu, you don't want to scare people with a scholar's mouth, as long as you violate the laws of the Han Dynasty, I will beat your and urine like Zhang Tang, do you believe it or not? ”
Dong Zhongshu flicked his sleeves very displeased, set his eyes on Zhang Anshi, who was harmless to humans and animals, and said coldly: "You are a yellow-mouthed child, relying on the power of your teacher, wantonly insulting the old man, and the old man will not care about it in view of your young age......"
Before Dong Zhongshu's 'cruel words' were finished, Zhang Anshi arched his hand and said: "I scolded you because you were wrong and pretended;
Okay, I'll show Dong Gong to see if the sun is closer to us in the morning or the sun at noon. ”
As he spoke, he took out a roll of sheepskin and a charcoal pen from his sleeve, and drew a 'triangle' with a few strokes.
Then, he muttered and wrote, skillfully and quickly 'calculating'.
"Dong Gong, you see, this is a one-zhang long pole, I have stood on the flat ground in the morning, noon and evening, and carefully measured the length of the shadow cast by the sun;"
"The three sides of this right triangle are different in the morning, noon, and evening;"
"On the surface, noon seems to be the closest;"
"In fact, according to the calculation method of the three sides of the right triangle, the values obtained are basically the same, that is, whether it is morning, noon or evening, the sun is 30,000 miles away from us;"
"Dong Gong is one thing right, that is, why the sun looks bigger in the morning, it is because of the illusion of human eyes......"
……
And then.
Then, Dong Zhongshu laughed and turned his head to look at Yang Chuan: "Oh, Yang Chuan's arithmetic is really exquisite, which opened the old man's eyes;
Zhang Anshi is a big Han Qiliner! ”
While speaking, the old thief arched his hand at Zhang Anshi in a manner, and said warmly: "Anshi, you are proficient in arithmetic, if you can enter my door and read the articles of sages, in the future, the future is limitless." ”
This time, even Yang Chuan was convinced.
The face of the reader, plus the mouth of the reader, is just, well, very admirable.
Zhang Anshi bowed his hand in a proper manner and said: "Okay, the study of arithmetic is just a small way, in fact, the kid also had the intention of teasing and embarrassing Dong Gong before, and the kid is here to apologize to you." ”
Dong Zhongshu's face suddenly became bright, and he twisted his beard and laughed: "A scholar, you need such a doubtful spirit as you, and you also need the momentum of a young man, this is a first-class scholar seed;
How can I, Dong Zhongshu, be angry with you Zhang Anshi?
Hehehe......"
Zhang Anshi hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Boy Zhang Anshi, thank you for Dong Gong's forgiveness." ”
Dong Zhongshu pointed to the futon beside him and smiled: "An Shi, come, sit next to the teacher, let me take a good look." ”
Zhang Anshi did not advance but retreated, bowed down again, and said, "Please, Dong Gong, answer one more question." ”
Dong Zhongshu's face stiffened, and his voice smiled with a slightly dry voice: "You can't ask about arithmetic anymore." ”
"That's natural," Zhang Anshi asked very seriously: "May I ask Dong Gong, what is the purpose of reading?" ”
Dong Zhongshu smiled and said indifferently: "Naturally, he is sensible, understands the rules, admires and remembers the great virtues of the sages, and is the pillar of the court." ”
Zhang Anshi shook his head and said very seriously: "No, Dong Gong's statement is not convincing. ”
Dong Zhongshu was not angry, and asked with an indifferent smile: "Oh? What about in your opinion? ”
Zhang Anshi turned around, bowed deeply to Yang Chuan, and said loudly: "Teacher, can Anshi borrow your four sentences to answer Dong Gongzhi's question?" ”
Yang Chuan nodded, and said with a warm smile: "If you think it's useful, then you can borrow it, anyway, we are not serious readers, and if we say something wrong, we won't laugh and be generous." ”
Zhang Anshi nodded, bowed to Dong Zhongshu again, and said: "My teacher Yang Chuan, once said a few words casually when teaching students one day, Anshi felt very heartfelt, and today he borrowed it to answer Dong Gong's question, and asked Dong Gong to correct it. ”
Dong Zhongshu groaned a few times, and then said indifferently: "Speak." ”
Zhang Anshi coughed lightly, tidied up his clothes, and recited Zhang Hengqu's four sentences aloud: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open a peaceful ...... for all generations."
……
Dong Zhongshu, Sima Xiangru and others returned to Chang'an City overnight.
There is no way, there are too many little monsters on Yang's Zhuangzi, don't say that Yang Chuan has not ended up in person, just a cowardly Zhang Anshi, so he let this group of scholars hide their faces and leave.
However, Dong Zhongshu is a big scholar in the end, and his face is not ordinarily thick.
When he left, he could still maintain a faint smile and leave a sentence: "I will come back......"
A proper gray wolf has a sense of sight.
This made Yang Chuan a little crying and laughing, and at the same time, he began to mutter: "The court is in turmoil, Dong Zhongshu, as a Confucian scholar, what does he want to do?" ’
To say that the old thief just wanted to 'compatible' his arithmetic learning, by the way, he dug into the corner of Yang Chuan's wall and took Liu Man and Zhang Anshi under his door......
Kill Sang Hongyang, Yang Chuan doesn't believe it!
What Dong Zhongshu looks like in the history books, no matter how tall and extravagant others tout him, Yang Chuan doesn't believe a word.
He only knew that the living Dong Zhongshu he saw right now had a thick face and a black heart, and he was definitely the biggest old yin π he had ever seen.
'What is this old thief scheming for?' ’
'Seeking refuge and support for your own learning?' So why not go to Cao Xiang? ’
Or, wouldn't it be more straightforward to go directly to Princess Pingyang? Or is it that after the emperor got that test paper, did he have any unusual hints that made this old thief climb down the pole? ’
After sending Dong Zhongshu and Sima Xiangru away, Yang's Zhuangzi regained stability and peace, and the 'literacy class' had supper in another attic, which sounded very happy.
"Childe, the egg mash soup you wanted."
Just when Yang Chuan was deep in thought, Tangyi's father came in with a bowl of mash soup and whispered, "A servant died, it seems that he was poisoned......"
