"Confucian scholars must know how to be flexible, otherwise they will be corrupt Confucians who have misled the country and mishandled things! Even if the principles and ideas are correct, they must distinguish between the occasion and the object, otherwise they may not be effective. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Mr. Cai is indeed a good teacher! Just a few allusions and a few words of explanation and answers make people feel a sense of happiness that they suddenly open up and their thoughts are clear. ”

Carefully digesting Mr. Cai's words word by word, Su Lin also felt the tide of thoughts in his wisdom surging and benefited a lot.

Learn to be flexible and deal with the unpredictable life without dying. Especially in the world of Confucianism and Taoism in the Tianren Continent, where thought is the supreme force, every Confucian has his own way of thinking that he adheres to and pursues.

It is more necessary to learn to be flexible, to flexibly apply and understand the way of thought, rather than just guarding the surface of the meaning.

"Teacher, students have questions too!"

Just when Su Lin unconsciously nodded while digesting the "flexible" truth that Mr. Cai said just now, another student stood up and asked:

"If Zigong had not spoken those noble truths in the first place, but had also used the words of the groom, would he have been able to convince the farmer?"

As soon as the student's question was asked, there seemed to be a "whirlpool of questions" in the entire classroom.

This question resonated, and almost all the students present followed his question, and in their own sea of wisdom, they collided with each other with the water of thought, thinking about this question.

"That's right! If Zigong knew how to be flexible and used this to convince the farmer, would he be able to succeed?"

Su Lin hadn't thought of this question before, but when this person brought it up, he immediately involuntarily drew a big question mark in his mind.

"Su Lin, this is the distant nephew of Taifu Fangzhengxin, the eldest son of the Fang family in Jian'an Mansion, and a famous genius who holds the Fang Emblem. He is only 19 years old this year, and he is already the first person in high school.

It is said that it was Han Feizi, a half-saint of the Legalist family, who opened his mind. ”

Yuan Duan whispered to Su Lin when he looked at the person holding the square emblem.

"Fang Hui, this is a very good question! It shows that you can put yourself in the shoes of the problem, and you can reconstruct the scene in your own Zhihai and make bold assumptions. ”

This time, Mr. Cai did not answer this question immediately, first nodded his head and praised the emblem, and then asked the students present:

"What do you think? If Zigong also used the words of the groom to convince the farmer, would it be feasible?"

"Yes! Sir said before that when talking to rough people, you have to learn to be flexible, and you can't use big truths. Zigong used to say a big truth that the farmer didn't understand, so the farmer didn't know why.

And if Zigong also uses the groom, he will definitely be able to convince the groom. ”

"Yes, sir, if Zigong had used those words, he would have been able to persuade the farmer to let the horse go. ”

"It's a ...... as it should be"

......

Almost all the students felt that this should be the case, but Mr. Cai smiled, shook his head, turned to the holding of the square emblem, and asked:

"Fang Hui, since you are able to ask such a question, you must have something in your heart and tell me your opinion. ”

"Sir, the student thinks that although Mafu's words are reasonable, if they come out of Zigong's mouth, I am afraid that the farmer will still not accept them. ”

As soon as Fang Hui's words fell, the surrounding students rose up one after another.

However, because Fang Hui was originally the best among them, no student dared to refute his words in public, but after discussing a few words, he listened to him continue.

"Because Zigong and the farmer are too far apart in knowledge and cultivation, they have long been at a distance from each other. Even if Zigong said this, the farmer would turn a blind eye and ignore it. ”

As soon as Fang Hui finished explaining, Mr. Cai smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "Fang Hui is right. The gap in identity, knowledge and cultivation often leads to different effects of the same words spoken from different mouths.

To put it more broadly, can a word from a monarch have the same effect as the same sentence from ordinary people?

This is also a principle of flexibility, not only depending on the object, but also depending on the identity and status of the speaker. ”

As soon as Mr. Cai's words fell, the students gained a lot, and they did not speak, trying to grasp the momentary perception and make up for the defects in their own thoughts.

An allusion has a double adaptation meaning. This method of teaching and lecturing Mr. Cai really opened Su Lin's eyes, and he couldn't help but savor this allusion again in his mind.

In Su Lin's sea of wisdom, the tide of thought has formed a huge whirlpool, constantly using thoughts to deduce and think about the allusions of "Confucius Yima".

Even the Shengli masonry that had settled in the depths of the Zhihai Sea melted into the tide of thought, quickly toppling and calculating.

"Huh, it seems...... There is a deeper meaning to this allusion......"

In a flash of inspiration, Su Lin seemed to have grasped the most critical idea and truth of this allusion, but he was so biased.

So he looked at Mr. Cai on the podium in confusion, and at this time, Mr. Cai looked at the students, and then said:

"What I want to explain today is the allusion of 'Confucius Yima', which is about the principle of adaptation. I hope that you will become a flexible Confucian in the future, rather than a pedantic Confucian.

However, apart from the two questions, do you have any doubts to ask?"

Looking at the more than 100 lifters and talents present again, Mr. Cai asked with a smile.

However, the Xiucai and Juren present already felt that these two questions were enough for them to comprehend for several days, so where would they have the energy and thoughts to come up with a third question?

Even the lifting man Fang Hui shook his head lightly, he felt that he had dug deep into the allusion of "Confucius Yima", and there were no other problems.

"Hey......"

Seeing that the Xiucai present had nothing to ask, Mr. Cai on the podium sighed and stopped talking, and was about to end the class, when suddenly, in the corner of the classroom near the door, Su Lin's voice sounded:

"Sir, the student has a question!"

Almost all the Xiucai and Juren looked towards this corner, and they were all curious about who was the third one after the two questions.

You must know that this kind of question cannot be a simple question, but must be a question that contains ideas and truths.

However, when these talents saw Su Lin's children's clothes and Su Lin's face, they all shook their heads with disdain.

"A mere boy who has just been admitted to the higher level dares to ask questions about such an esoteric allusion?

"It's true! Even Fang Hui Fang Juren can't think of other questions, how can he, a little child, ask thoughtful questions?"

"It looks like a face student, presumably it must be the first child who has just been admitted this year. Do you think that with a few talents in your chest, you can stand out among our group of talents?"

......

Originally, these talents still reported a look of admiration and surprise, wanting to see who could ask a third question.

However, Su Lin's identity as a child disappointed them greatly. In their opinion, a mere child, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, no matter how talented he is, cannot compare to them.

Even they can't come up with allusions to ideological questions, how can this boy succeed?

"Haha! Who am I? It turns out to be Su Lin, the genius head of my Fengle County!"

Among these talents, one of them even recognized Su Linlai, he was the eighteen-year-old Liu Shimin, the eighteen-year-old Liu family talent who the Dong family originally wanted to match Dong Zijin to.

Because Su Lin was admitted to the head of the case, which made his in-laws with the Dong family fail, so he has always been jealous and hateful to Su Lin, and now he sees Su Lin again in the mansion, and it is still such a scene, naturally he does not forget the yin and yang and ridiculed Su Lin in a strange voice:

"But, Su Lin! This is the mansion, and you children who are the head of the case are considered to have entered the study without exception.

Coming in can only be regarded as an audit. It is not allowed to ask questions in class.

Not to mention that in Mr. Cai's class, Fang Cai's Lu Tong and Fang Hui are both leaders among Xiucai and Juren, so they are qualified to ask questions.

You are a little child, I am afraid that you have not even read the scriptures of Zhuzi very well, what qualifications do you have to ask Mr. Cai?"

"If you have a question, you should naturally ask. Didn't you see that Mr. Cai sighed because no one asked?

At this time, why stick to the rule that children can't ask questions in the classroom? This is also a kind of flexibility!"

Although Su Lin couldn't recognize this talented Liu Shimin, he could feel deep hostility from his words, so he retorted unceremoniously.

"You ......"

Liu Shimin originally wanted to ridicule Su Lin in front of all the talents, but he was choked by Su Lin's words, and he couldn't refute Su Lin at all.

Because Mr. Cai talked about the allusion of "Confucius Yima", he was talking about the way of "workaround", Liu Shimin couldn't imagine that Su Lin would apply what he had learned so quickly, and use workarounds to refute him, so that Liu Shimin could only stare dryly, and there was no way to refute it at all.
