Chapter 63: The Scriptures I

A few days later, in the anticipation of the scholars, the conference officially kicked off in Taixue.

There is a long queue outside Taixue, and there are crowds of people inside Taixue, which is another grand scene in Luoyang.

However, although there were many people, they did not see quarrels as before, because whether it was the disciples of the ancient scriptures or the modern scriptures, they all knew that there was only one main battlefield at this time.

In the Taixue Eastern View, the two sides participated in the discussion of the scriptures and sat separately in Confucianism.

In the past, Jia Kui fought with the Confucian scriptures of the ancient scriptures, but now such a scene has long ceased to exist.

There are many disciples of the ancient scriptures led by Lu Zhi, and they are evenly matched in terms of numbers alone.

The description of the Treatise is similar to that of the White Tiger View Conference, but the difference is more radical.

This is basically the same as a debate meeting, where both sides come up with their own questions for debate, and if one side wins or loses, the result is recorded by Cai Yong.

If the outcome is inseparable, it will be recorded by Liang Hu, and the decision will be made when Liu Hong comes to Taixue in person on the last few days of the commentary.

A very noteworthy place is that at the beginning of the Jinwenjing family, the great Confucians watched from the wall and sent their young disciples to discuss the scriptures.

And there are not many Confucians in the court on the side of the ancient scriptures, and most of them are young disciples.

Therefore, from the very beginning, this Taixue Treatise has become a contest between young disciples on both sides of the ancient and modern scriptures.

It's a pity that Liu Hong hasn't come to Taixue at this time, otherwise I don't know how he would feel when he saw this scene.

During this period, Yuan Shao, as the leader of the Jinwenjing, rarely ended, and on the side of the ancient Wenjing, Yang Ming was the same as the Confucian of the Jinwenjing opposite.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a month later.

At this time, the two sides had finished discussing all the points of disagreement, and a small number of them were resolved, while most of them were still in dispute, which was recorded by Liang Hu.

In the end, there are 56 points to discuss.

Among these important contents, there are even many contents that have been decided at the White Tiger View Conference.

It can be clearly felt that the ancient scriptures are coming this time, and they are bound to subvert the monopoly position of the modern Wenjing family in one fell swoop.

On this day, there are many guards outside Taixue, and the central avenue of the inner city is coming with six wheels, and the Jinwu is firmly guarding the left and right.

Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, finally came to the scene of the Commentary.

The Taixue Sutra also ushered in a climax on this day.

This scene also caused a lot of emotion among the people of Luoyang, this is still since Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty, and once again the Son of Heaven came to Taixue to participate in the study of scriptures.

Liu Hong got down from the front of the Dongguan Gate, entered the Dongguan under the salute of the ancient and modern disciples, and sat on the main seat.

Cao Jie, Zhang Rang and other lieutenants stood behind him.

All the scholars bowed down in unison and shouted long live.

Liu Hong waved his hand, and then asked people to present the records of Cai Yong and Liang Hu.

Jian Shuo went to get the bamboo slips and presented them to Liu Hong's desk.

For a while, everyone in Dongguan was silent, and only the sound of Liu Hong flipping bamboo slips was left.

Although there are a lot of bamboo slips, at the front of the record, Cai Yong and Liang Hu have already listed the number clearly, and Liu Hong can see it at a glance.

Liu Hong first read Cai Yong's documents and nodded with satisfaction.

Among the many contents that have been conclusively concluded, the ancient scriptures account for the majority, which is a content that he expects to see.

Then he picked up Liang Hu's record.

Of course, he did not come to Taixue to make a decision immediately, but to listen to the debate between the two sides first.

Even if the referee is a referee, there are some basic rules that must be observed, otherwise if the scholar flips the table, the content of his decision will lose its authority.

This is essentially similar to the nature of the court meeting, except that it is not about political affairs, but about scriptures.

He motioned for the controversy to be discussed in the ancient scriptures.

Lu Zhi quickly gave the first content: nickname.

The so-called nickname originated from the Western Zhou Dynasty and was used to cover the coffin after death.

For example, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty "Huan" is the nickname, to defeat the enemy and serve Huan, to conquer the soil and serve Huan, to respect the people and to move the people to say Huan, and to conquer the land and the country to say Huan.

There are four references to the names in the scriptures:

Today's scriptures "Rites, Shiguan Rites" and "Rites: Suburban Special Sacrifices" are all clouds: death and slander, and today. The ancients were born without a lord, and died without a lord.

The ancient scripture "Zhou Li, Daxingren" cloud: Scholars must have knights; "Tan Gong" has clouds: Lu Zhuang Gong and the Song people fought in Chengqiu, and the scholars have a good reputation, and they have been since then.

Hua Xin spoke as a representative of the ancient scriptures.

"It is clearly recorded in the "Zhou Li" that scholars must have titles, why is there no title in the future? That is, there is no life and no lord, how can we talk about death and no death? This is a glaring verbal error in the present text. Hua Xin came up and hit the point.

The greatest advantage of ancient scholars is that the ancient scriptures are ancient books of the pre-Qin period, and if there is a record, it must be correct.

The disciples on this side of the Wenjing looked at each other, and it was obvious that they had no good words to deal with this record before.

Yuan Shao stepped forward at this time and replied: "There is a detailed explanation in "White Tiger Pass", and the interpretation of the scripture is 'there is a lord in life, and there should be a lord in death', which is not in conflict with the "Shi must have a lord" in "Zhou Li". ”

"White Tiger Pass" is the four volumes of "White Tiger Tongyi" recorded by Ban Chao after the White Tiger View Conference.

So in fact, there was a debate on this issue back then, but then Emperor Zhang made a decision as a referee.

Yang Ming shook his head when he heard this.

Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty This is actually a sophistry, because it makes use of the [negative proposition] in the mathematical concept.

That is, the level of mathematics in this era is still at the level of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", otherwise it is natural to know that there is no certain true or false relationship between the original proposition and the negative proposition, and only the reverse negative proposition is the same as the original proposition.

In other words, the same interpretation as the phrase "the ancients were born without a lord, and died without a lord" is not "born with a lord, and died with a lord", but "the ancients died with a lord, then they were born with a lord".

When Hua Xin heard this, he immediately replied: "In the "Book of Rites: Tan Gong", the scholars have been known since the beginning of Luzhuang Gong, so it can be known that the people of Zhou have no reputation, but the people of Zhou have no lords? ”

At this time, Yuan Shao was also speechless.

It must be known that the title has existed since the beginning of Yin Shang and even Xia, and the scholars of Zhou naturally have titles.

But if you admit this, it is tantamount to denying the conclusion of Emperor Han Zhang of the "White Tiger Pass" that "there is a lord in life, and there should be a curse in death", and it is natural to admit that the oral record of this Wenjing is wrong.

This is the situation of the present Wenjing at this time, they cannot refute the text of the ancient Wenjing as wrong, and can only say through interpretation that there is no conflict between the two, but it is difficult to explain one place, and it is difficult to explain many places.

Yuan Shao also sat down immediately, and this result was expected.

At the beginning, Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty leaned towards the Jinwenjing in order to check and balance this article, but today Liu Hong obviously will not do this.

The defeat of this Wenjing has been decided.

But how much impact does this have on Yuan or him?

Since the time of Emperor Huan, there has been a disaster of the party, and the scholars have been suffering, but his Yuan clan has always been standing.

It depends on knowing how to follow the trend and get enough benefits in the general trend.

He Yuan Benchu inherited his ancestral business, and naturally understood this principle.

Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, that's it.

Although the Confucian scholars of today's scriptures are somewhat unexpected, this is naturally a good thing.

If he loses the right to interpret the suppression of the Jinwen family, he can replace all his people in it.

Then, began to collect money for him.

That's right, even if he controls Luoyang and the local court, his ultimate goal is for money.

When he was in Hejian, his father died early, he was poor and afraid, and he was "tired of poverty" since he was a child, but he still shy back when he became the emperor.

Especially now the emptiness of the Eastern Han treasury is outrageous.

Therefore, he wanted to collect money, not only to fill the treasury, but also to provide the West Garden of his dreams.

Now that the West Garden has started, money is imminent.

"But anyone else has objections?" Liu Hong looked at everyone and prepared to make a decision.

At this moment, Yang Ming finally stood up.
