From a moral point of view, Lin Daguan's words are impeccable, even Gu Xiancheng's friends can't open their mouths to object.

Gu Xiancheng also knows very well that the best way to deal with this is to use force to blast Lin Tailai out directly, completely isolate Lin Tailai from the venue, and solve the problem in a physical sense!

In other words, don't beep if you can! But alas, they don't have that strength.

As a result, Gu Xiancheng felt a little remorseful, could it be that his line of emphasizing literature and ignoring military force had made a mistake?

Thinking of this, Gu Xiancheng couldn't help but look at his fellow countryman Gao Panlong, who was not far from him.

In history, there are as many as nine scholars in Wuxi County who are named after the emperor list. Among the Eight Gentlemen of Donglin, Gao Panlong, Xue Fujiao, and Ye Maocai were all candidates for this subject, and they all passed the Jinshi, and they were all present at this moment.

In the development plan envisioned by Gu Xiancheng, he originally wanted to take Xue Fujiao as his right-hand man in the future.

Because Xue Fujiao's grandfather Xue Yingyi was an academic boss, when he was young, Gu Xiancheng's brothers studied with Xue Yingjiao with Xue Fujiao, and had a very close relationship with Xue Fujiao.

But now Gu Xiancheng suddenly felt that Gao Panlong might be a more suitable auxiliary candidate, after all, Gao Panlong's family was a loan shark, and he was much stronger than Xue Fujiao in terms of force.

So do you want to revise the plan and let Gao Panlong be your deputy in the future?

At this time, Gao Panlong saw Gu Xiancheng looking at him, mistakenly thinking that this was hinting at himself, and asked him to quickly come forward to distinguish a few words.

Gao Panlong was still more positive about this kind of thing that could show his face, so he stood up and pointed to the stunned beauty, for Lin Tai:

"You really misunderstood, the reason why this woman is here is that Mr. Gu wants to use this woman's special identity to talk about the good and evil of human nature.

The theory of good and evil has been one of the trendiest topics in recent years, you know? ”

Lin Tailai: "."

He thought that with hundreds of years of knowledge, he was invincible in the world in terms of talking nonsense with his eyes open, but he unexpectedly met an opponent today.

Blinking his eyes a few times, Lin Daguan said, "But Mr. Gu personally admitted just now that he was entertaining himself with prostitutes. ”

Gao Panlong could only look at Gu Xiancheng helplessly, he had tried his best to talk nonsense, but the hole you dug is too big, big brother, you should find a way to fill it yourself.

And Gu Xiancheng had already relieved himself, and said seriously: "Although I was next to the prostitute just now, all I thought about in my heart was the way of Mencius.

Although this woman has fallen into the dust, she was also born with a perfect and chaste body, which confirms the theory of the goodness of Yasheng's human nature. ”

The left and right applauded and cheered: "Mr. Gu, see you!" ”

In the late Ming Dynasty, Wang Yangming's psychology was particularly popular, "there is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and going to evil for good is a thing" These four sentences are even more widely spread.

In particular, the first sentence "there is no good and no disgusting body" can be understood as the nature of human beings without good and evil, which has caused great controversy.

Because the orthodox proposition of Confucianism is Mencius's "theory of goodness", which emphasizes the inherent goodness of human nature, it is in great conflict with the theory of "no good and no evil" in Xinxue.

Therefore, the "question of good and evil" is one of the core topics of late Ming Dynasty scholarship, and the focus is on the debate between "the theory of sexual goodness" and "no good and no evil".

As the spokesperson of orthodox Confucianism, Gu Xiancheng must have firmly supported the theory of sexual goodness and opposed the view of "no good and no evil" in Xinxue.

Thinking of this, Lin Tailai knew that he had to go all out!

If you can't even talk nonsense about your opponent, then what kind of face is there to brush up on academic prestige?

He didn't care what his opinion was, he just wanted to rub some academic prestige on Gu Xiancheng.

So now Lin Tailai can only refute for the sake of refutation, no matter what Gu Xiancheng's point of view, just stand on the opposing side.

"Although this woman was born with a perfect and chaste body, she didn't know whether it was good or bad when she was born, this is the nature of no good and no evil."

Gu Xiancheng replied again: "You beat this woman unconscious, she doesn't have any consciousness now, and she doesn't know whether she is good or bad, but it doesn't affect the integrity of her body when she was born."

In the same way, the inherent goodness of human nature is an objective natural principle, and it does not change because of human self-perception.

Mencius said, when people see that their children are about to enter the well, they all have a heart of compassion, and all children know how to love their relatives, and their elders, and all know how to respect their brothers, this is the inherent goodness of human nature! ”

After a few rounds, Gu Xiancheng seemed to gradually gain the upper hand.

"You're sophistry!" Lin Tailai couldn't help but complain.

Gu Xiancheng said coldly: "Come out and mix, if you can make sense, you will talk about it, and if you can't be reasonable, you will admit defeat." ”

Lin Tailai took a deep breath, racked his brains to reorganize the language, and said:

"You think that human nature is all good, just as women are born to be perfect and chaste, so what is the difference between the natures of each person?

Zi said: Sex is similar, Xi is far away, and the most important thing is a close word.

The reason why Confucius said that sex is similar but not sex is the same is because Confucius believed that people are not completely identical in nature, and there are differences.

Therefore, the inherent goodness of human nature that you advocate is contrary to the way of the Confucian sage! ”

Gu Xiancheng: "."

Lin Tailai asked aggressively: "You said Mencius, and I moved out of Confucius, how should Your Excellency respond?" Who is bigger and who is smaller? ”

"You're sophistry!" Gu Xiancheng said angrily.

Lin Tailai said coldly: "Come out and mix, if you can make sense, you will talk about it, and if you can't make sense, you will admit defeat." ”

At this point, Gu Xiancheng, who couldn't afford to lose, couldn't spare any strength, and said with full firepower:

Although Mencius had a glimpse of the essence of human nature, he only proved it with compassion, shame, resignation, right and wrong, and the love and respect of children.

Therefore, Mencius did not show the source of the inherent goodness of nature in the way of expression, but only made superficial arguments based on emotional nature.

And sexual goodness is originally in the way of heaven, how can it be completely confined to Confucius and Menghu? ”

Lin Tailai continued to retort: "Since you talk about the way of heaven, but the way of heaven is silent, tasteless, formless, and unspeakable, so it cannot be defined and expressed by the "goodness" at the empirical level.

If you say that the body originates from the Heavenly Dao, it should also be unrestricted by good and evil, and there is no good and no evil. ”

Gu Xiancheng asked again: "Since the mind is based on 'nothing' speech, why do you still emphasize adding 'good' and 'evil'?"

Therefore, the study of mind still believes that 'nothingness' is higher than 'being', and includes 'being' with the nature of 'nothing', so both good and evil come from nature.

This trend of thought blurs the distinction between good and evil, and is tantamount to erasing good! If this is not heresy, what else is heresy? ”

Lin Tailai sighed: "Do not take the good that mortals know as good, but the good that is not good; Do not take the elimination of evil as the end, but use the original evidence of no evil, and then you can speak of sincerity and integrity, and the treatment will be effective and effective. ”

Gu Xiancheng said sharply: "The bad world teachings start from the words that Yang Ming has no good and no evil!"

The sages of the ancients, upholding the world's religion, all rely on the belief in the goodness of sex. Therefore, it is said that what the people do is good, and what the people are evil.

Only this kind of good faith cannot be extinguished, so no matter how bad the world is, it can always be restored. Changing customs and customs, and returning to thin and pure, are all due to the inherent goodness of human nature.

If this trend of thought is spread, it will be very harmful to the world! ”

Listening to Gu Xiancheng's eloquent words, Lin Daguan felt that the goods in his stomach were about to be emptied.

If you continue to debate at length like this, you will definitely run out of words soon.

After all, Gu Xiancheng is the most professional, and he only dabbled in it in his previous life because of his professional association.

In the face of this situation, Lin Tailai suddenly said: "How did Mr. Gu tell the program of your Qingliu party? ”

Gu Xiancheng: "??? ”

With such a hidden connection, how did you Lin Tailai see it?

Lin Tailai continued: "The problem of those who are not virtuous enough in the world is that they have evil and hide it; And the problem of moral people is that they are good and persistent.

People who are not virtuous like to hide evil and hypocrisy, and they often walk with those who are good believers.

And those who insist on goodness are the so-called sages and gentlemen in the world, who do not know that they are not good, but they do good things in vain.

When encountering people, they do not rub sand in their eyes, and they are often divided between enemies and me, and they are not of my kind, and they are all condemned as wicked people.

This kind of person is sincere but cannot be sincere, and it is said that the heart is righteous but the heart is not right.

Mr. Xiangshan Yun in the Song Dynasty: Evil can harm the heart, and good can also harm the heart.

By the way, according to your view of good and evil, if the emperor doesn't criticize your recitals, what kind of category is it? ”

Hurry up and go online and pull it politically! Lin Daguan showed his stunt at the bottom of the box in academic debate!

Gu Xiancheng couldn't answer positively, and shouted: "What I'm arguing about now is academics, don't implicate other aspects!" ”

Lin Daguan shook his head and said, "So Mr. Gu, you are trying your best to defend the theory of sexual goodness, is it just to shape your Qingliu's righteousness and moral superiority?"

But it is not good for you to be like this, looking at the scourge of the party strife of the past dynasties, although good people will inevitably join the struggle; And the new law is harmful to the people, that is, it is difficult for a gentleman to fulfill his responsibility.

In the end, it will bring disaster to the country and the people, and it is impossible to overcome the pain, is it because those people lack kindness in their nature?

All in all, people who do good are also terrible! ”

Gu Xiancheng stood up and emphasized: "I just said that the academic dispute does not involve anything else, since you insist on not listening, this is the end of today!" ”

Obviously, Lin Tailai's remarks were too harsh, and they had a sharp effect, and Gu Xiancheng was a little afraid to continue.

And if it spreads, it will seriously damage the image of the Qingliu forces, so I can't let Lin Tailai talk about it anymore!

Lin Daguan breathed a sigh of relief, he has been waiting for you to stop! Otherwise, there are really no words to say!

Then he raised his hands and waved them, and said cheerfully to the people in the seats on either side:

"Gentlemen, you can testify, today Mr. Gu can't argue with me academically, and he is still in a hurry!

I debated the scriptures with Mr. Gu three times, the first time I studied in Wuxi County, and I didn't lose; The second time in Nanjing, he didn't win; The third time was today, he was anxious first and took the initiative to stop! ”
