Qi Yunmeng frowned and listened to Jiang Ning's words, feeling that his concept had completely subverted his thoughts, falling from the nine skies like a waterfall, washing her body to the ground, why did he have such an idea?

"Concubine, pick up, and take the luck to see the cheap. This is what the "Interpretation of Names" says, and there are also second wives, side wives, deputy wives, outer rooms, little wives, etc., are these also wrong? Qi Yunmeng had already walked into the pavilion where Jiang Ning was, the breeze was blowing, the moisture fell on his face, and a trace of coolness penetrated through his skin and penetrated into his heart, but Qi Yunmeng's hands oozed a little fine sweat.

Also, as stated in the "Zhuangzi", Linggong has three wives and bathes together. The matter of three wives and four concubines has been formed since the Spring and Autumn Period, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, faith, and wisdom, and benevolence and righteousness are at the forefront, is this also wrong? Wei and Jin legacy, is Jian'an wrong again? ”

"Hui Yuan" said: "Concubine, pick up, you have to meet the gentleman and not the couple." And the "Book of Rites" also says: "The concubine who buys together is the same as the public property." "Aren't these wrong?" Qi Yunmeng quoted the scriptures and said: "In the Book of Rites, it is said that the Son of Heaven set up six palaces, three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one royal wives. In "Zhou Li", it is said that there are one hundred and twenty concubines of the king: one after one, three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one female princesses. Could it be that these words, which are regarded as classics by the world and the world's readers, are also wrong? ”

Qi Yunmeng said these words, it was completely within the scope of her learning, and it was also something that the world would be taught since birth, in her opinion, these were correct, they were wise sayings that had been passed down for thousands of years, there would be no mistake, she didn't want to justify anything for this world, but the fact was that.

She has also questioned, doubted, but in the end there is no change under the rolling torrent, time has proved that this is right, then this is right, maybe she is wrong, she is not as good as Lao Zhuang, and she can't write such a masterpiece as "The Book of Rites", it is her talent that is not enough to learn, not enough experience, so those words are right, and like the way of governing the country, inherited from the Xia Shang and the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the country is governed in an orderly manner.

Jiang Ning did not affirm or deny, he originally did not expect women in this era to have any unique opinions, and he did not want to explain that it was because of the progress of the times and the changes caused by the development of science and technology, but Qi Yunmeng was an alternative, a variable, she had broken some of the rules of men, and she should not be bound by these things, just when Jiang Ning was about to speak, Qi Yunmeng spoke again.

"Originally, I also asked the master, but the master told me that it has been like this since ancient times, from the emperor to the general, to the village and the field, the eternal truth is the truth of the sages, and if you can't learn, you can't speculate, it's disrespectful to the sages, and the scholars can't disrespect Confucius and Mencius, and the generals can't slander Sun Wu, so I also broke off such an idea, today I listen to what you said, I want to ask, why is this not the case."

Jiang Ning pondered for a moment, then asked: "Xia Shang and Western Zhou, there are only two classes, one is the master, the other is the slave, and there are only these two choices when they are born. ”

"Heaven has the virtue of a good life, but when the dynasty changes, why is there still killing? The more people killed, the closer victory will be, and after the victory, it will be the establishment of the imperial dynasty, and with the mandate of heaven as its own responsibility, shouldn't it be to influence sentient beings? Why kill, is it against the words of the sages? ”

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs, can't poor students become human beings through their own efforts? Of course you can, but this is also contrary to Lao Zhuang's words, do you have to deny it? ”

"Of course not, the so-called not broken and not standing, everything in the world is not immutable, every change will involve a lot of interests, such as you, the three debates in the capital, let those who are proud of everyone be ashamed of themselves, let the women of the world know that it is not without talent is virtue, all interest classes will change, rotten Confucianism will be suppressed, women will rebel, some in order to maintain the status quo, some in order to bring forth the new, there is no right or wrong."

"A grain of rice, eaten by others, can make people live, but in the era of famine, it may also cause conflicts over a grain of rice, do you say that this grain of rice is guilty? But all the blame arises from it. It may be said that there will be some extremes, but the truth is interoperable, the words of the ancients, handed down for thousands of years, are naturally insightful, but whether it is correct or not, or according to the situation at the time, Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, in order to consolidate the imperial power with the law of the Legalists, the six countries were initially decided, and such means must be used to ensure the unity of the country. ”

"Later, the deposed hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, because after the stability of the country, the harsh law was no longer applicable, and morality should be the first, the Great Yuan Dynasty advocated martial arts, and the Turkic royal court also followed the Xia Dynasty, in our eyes, they were barbarians, vulgar behavior, burning, killing and looting, but they were victorious."

"Having said that, three wives and four concubines or the current polygamy are only the products that should appear or are inevitable during this time period, what will happen in the future, no one knows, maybe it is progress, or maybe it is regression, my point of view is only my point of view, just like yours, everything may be overthrown, but it is not yet time."

After Jiang Ning finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders: "As for those classics, to hell with them, I think so I am, move with my heart, and be at ease, it is much more comfortable than being bound in this box, life is in the world, in a hurry for decades, some people are happy in time, some people are used in the world, the Tao is different, what is achieved and what is obtained is also different, love someone, you will love, throughout the ages, there is no lack of love that has been destroyed by the world, how can there be so many songs to cry about, but not to ask for the sour feeling in the past." ”

Liang Zhuhua Butterfly, White Snake Romance, which one is not praised through the ages, but what can really be done is only a handful, because everyone is afraid of the world, afraid of predecessors, afraid of too much, too many scruples, which is also the reason why China gradually declined in the late Qing Dynasty.

Qi Yunmeng's heart was beating fast, the blood was flowing rapidly, and her entire face was red, she had never heard of such strange words and theories, but she refuted her theory to the fullest, just like Jiang Ning said, looking at this question from different angles, the answer is not the same, a grain of rice, is it right or wrong? But at the end of the day, what's right or wrong? Right and wrong is just a standard, what you think is right, that is right, what you think is wrong, that is wrong, and success or defeat is the simplest truth.

According to historical records, historical books were written by later generations, do you say it is right or wrong? What you see is only what they want you to see, not the most real, just like the rumored Blackwater Alliance, what is going on, only the parties know best, if they choose to tell the truth, it is true, if they tell a lie, then the fake is also true.

Before Qi Yunmeng came back to his senses, he heard Jiang Ning read: "When the fake is true, it is true and false, when it is true and false, it is true and false, who can figure it out?" Only a person's feelings for a person are the most real, happy, joyful, worried, or heartache, are all real feelings, deceived others, but can not deceive themselves, on this basis, love should also be equal, there is no who wants to accommodate whom, who wants to love who more, you love a little more, then more accommodation, in my opinion, it's as simple as that. ”

Later, I talked to Jiang Ning about some trivial things, probably that is, tonight's poetry club Donglin Society has something to compete with Hangzhou talents, but Qi Yunmeng just didn't have a word, and after Jiang Ning left, he sat on the stone steps alone, thinking in his heart about these rebellious words that she seemed to be subverting the three views, but there was no way to refute them.

After a long time, she saw someone walk by the pavilion and shouted to her twice, and she came back to her senses, as if she remembered something, and quickly ran back to the small building, splashing ink, for fear that she would forget what she wanted in her heart.
