After Zhuge Jin used the name of righteousness to squeeze Youheng, he appropriately guided the focus of the dispute between the two sides to the word "virtue".

Mocking You Heng doesn't even know what the "virtue" of "the virtuous dwells",

This certainly has a deep meaning.

Zhuge Jin knew very well that although he had inherited the scriptures and knowledge of the body deity, he also had the logical speculation and political philosophy insights of later generations. But if you really want to open up to people and debate the rights and wrongs of the Confucian scriptures, it may not be able to absolutely crush Youheng.

As a famous troll in the Three Kingdoms, You Heng must have quite a lot of skills, otherwise he wouldn't have a headache for Cao Cao, and he didn't dare to touch him, but only dared to get him to Liu Biao.

That being the case, how could Zhuge Jin fight an uncertain battle?

Therefore, at the beginning of his opening, Zhuge Jin thought of a strategy: he wanted to guide the debate between the two sides to a point where Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty would definitely answer wrong, and Confucian scholars in later generations would definitely answer correctly.

In other words, this question must have been answered incorrectly as early as Gongsun Hong and Dong Zhongshu, the masters of Han Confucianism, and the entire Confucian students of the Han Dynasty ignored this mistake because of their respect for their teachers and ancestors.

But later, with the progress of history and Confucianism, by the time of the Tang and Song dynasties, later generations had discovered this problem, and by the time of Han Yu, Sima Guang, Zhu Xi, and Lu Jiuyuan, it had been gradually corrected.

In this way, no matter how proud you are of your talents, he will never say anything that obviously surpasses or denies Gongsun Hong and Dong Zhongshu, right? In this way, Zhuge Jin can use the progress of political philosophy for more than 1,000 years in later generations to beat the other party.

Since it was You Heng who first mentioned the "loss of morality" in the imperial court, then Zhuge Jin grasped what the "virtue" of this "virtuous person dwells" means, and chased it to the end.

One hit is the winner.

……

You Heng was really stunned, he was reprimanded by the other party for not even being able to tell what the "virtue" of "the virtuous people in the world live", which is absolutely unbearable and must be refuted.

If he doesn't even answer such basic questions, he will have no face to call himself a Confucian.

So after thinking carefully, he decided to answer word by word with the standard official meaning form of Gongsun Hong and Dong Zhongshu, which is the most stable and stable:

"The world is the world of the people of the world, and only the virtuous live in it. The virtue here is naturally to dominate the world and save the people of the world from the killing of civil war. In the past five hundred years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Chinese people slaughtered each other endlessly.

Although Qin Shi Huang was a tyrant, he was able to win the world, so because of his virtue, he ended the Warring States dispute. And at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world lost deer, fell apart, and Emperor Gao was reunited, so his virtue lasted for hundreds of years-

This theory was demonstrated as early as in "The Ram", and then Dong Zhongshu supplemented it in "Spring and Autumn Dew", what else is there to argue? Could it be that you fool who has never even read "The Legend of the Ram" and "Spring and Autumn Dew"? It's a shame that I should talk to such an ignorant person! ”

Zhuge Jin listened very carefully, confirmed that the other party really hit the trick, and copied the relevant explanations recognized by Han Ru at a glance, and he knew that he was stable:

"Who said that 'virtue' was defined in "The Legend of the Ram"? What you just quoted is obviously the note left by Emperor Xiaowu and Gongsun Hong's study of "The Legend of the Ram", which is Gongsun Hong's personal interpretation, not the original intention of Gongsun Gao during the Warring States Period.

Although this interpretation is not entirely wrong, it is obviously confusing and mixed, and does not distinguish between the root and the end. Let me ask you, in the "Gongsun Hongshu", when commenting on the "Virtue of Unifying the World" for the "Legend of the Ram", did you quote "Mencius. In King Hui of Liang, Mencius's view of 'the virtue of the world'? ”

You Heng was stunned for a moment, always feeling that there was a conspiracy, but the answer to this question was very clear, and he could only answer immediately: "Of course there is." ”

Mencius did not have a very high status among Han Confucianism, and was only one of the Thirteen Classics. However, Gongsun Hong and Dong Zhongshu still quoted Mencius when they argued the "virtue" of "the virtuous live in it", and the facts cannot be denied.

Zhuge Jin continued: "When Mencius saw King Liang Hui, he asked with a smile: Is the world evil? Said to it: set in one.

Who can be one? Those who do not love to kill can do it. Who can match it? The world is indispensable......"

Zhuge Jin first quoted a few controversial verses, and then went straight to the point: "It can be seen that Mencius's original intention is that the kind of virtue and politics that can make 'the world indispensable' is not 'under one day' itself, but 'fixing the world'."

What King Hui of Liang and Mencius sought at the beginning was also to 'fix the world', and Mencius replied that 'under one day' was just a means to fix the world. The means and the ends must be clearly distinguished, not confused!

When you can set the world, then the world will naturally be indispensable, and the people of the world will be happy and sincere to accept this ruler who brings them a stable life, which is the "virtue" of "the virtuous people in the world live"!

And what is the world? It is to let the people of the world be less soldiers, less wars, less conscription, and less food than when the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were chaotic for 500 years, so that the people of the world can have less internal friction and live a good life, which is called 'fixing the world'!

The unification of the world was only a prerequisite for the realization of 'let China not fight a civil war', because people of insight at that time knew that as long as there was no reunification, the civil war would never end. But that's not enough.

If Qin is to be virtuous, its rulers should see that the policies they implement are only for the sake of the means of the day. After that, it should be lightly taxed, so that the people can actually pay less food, serve less, and serve less as soldiers than in the Warring States era. If, after the end of the day, the proportion of service and tax is still as high as that of the chaotic world, it is 'only one and not decided', and the original is abandoned.

Therefore, the "one day under the world" may have been completed by Qin Shi Huang, but the virtue of "determining the world" was only truly realized when Emperor Xiaowen of this dynasty officially paid 15 taxes and 1, abolished corporal punishment, and nuclear light military service from the level of national law.

Confucianism is corrupt, misinterprets the ancestors, and vainly claims to be virtuous, but he can't even distinguish between goals and means, which is really ridiculous and generous!

You need to eat to survive, but eating is only one of the means to survive, not the purpose of living! If you live to eat, you are no different from hangers, rice bags, wine barrels, and meat bags! ”

Zhuge Jin's words were as bright as Mencius, and the refutation was completely overwhelmed by Youheng.

However, Zhuge Jin's words are based on the sages, even if the status of the whole book of "Mencius" is not high now, but the sentences in "King Hui of Liang" are indeed quoted by "Notes on the Ram" and "Spring and Autumn Dew", and Han Confucianism cannot deny it.

Moreover, Zhuge Jin's argument is also full of progressive humanistic care, which is a recognized truth for later generations, and he just took it out more than a thousand years in advance and pretended to be a force.

In the upgraded values of Confucianism in later generations, unifying the world is still important, but we must recognize that unifying the world is a means to make the world stable. The core "morality" is to let the people reap the benefits and reduce the burden on the people.

If after a short period of reunification, until the demise of this regime, the burden on the people will not be relieved, and the people will not be benefited.

The money, food, and manpower saved by not fighting the civil war were not spent on the people, but only used to better support the lone husband. Then this does not belong to "being virtuous and then losing morality", but "having no virtue from the beginning".

The money, food, and labor saved after the end of the civil war can be regarded as "the beginning of virtue" from the moment it is spent on the people.

It is the people who are the masters of history and the driving force for the progress of history.

And the reason why later generations have such progressive ideas is because at the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, as well as the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there were too many regimes that "although they were temporarily unified, they did not bring benefits to the people".

Later generations of long-term unified dynasties had to distinguish themselves from these short-lived dynasties, and generations of people with lofty ideals began to think about this problem.

From Han Yu to Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, to Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan, although these people may not all have good character, they have demonstrated and understood this philosophical issue in the process of elevating the status of "Mencius" and emphasizing the people-oriented thought from generation to generation.

Zhuge Jin has now used the crystallization of the collective wisdom of Confucianism for more than 1,000 years to point out the mistakes of the ancients of "imprecise logic and confusion between means and ends".

At this moment, he was not fighting alone, he was already possessed by Han Yu, Sima Guang, Zhu Xi, and Lu Jiuyuan at the same time.

……

You Heng was refuted repeatedly, and completely fell into the great loss of doubting life.

But he really didn't know how to refute it at all, because he quoted Gongsun Hong and Dong Zhongshu's standard answers.

Even if you answer this question wrong, you shouldn't rely on him! It has been wrong since Gongsun Hong Dong Zhongshu started, and it has been wrong for three hundred years!

In the past 300 years, no Han Ru has pointed out this mistake, and today he continues to be wrong because of the inertia of thinking, isn't it right?

But why was the guy on the other side able to lift such a big table all at once?

He asked himself about the madmen in the world, but he was not crazy enough to dare to point out Dong Zhongshu's mistakes.

This guy on the other side is definitely mader than him!

That was to tie him Youheng and Gongsun Hong and Dong Zhongshu, the three of them together with ropes and then hanged.

And the other spectators in the wine house of Yizhou County Mansion were completely stunned for the first time.

They all know that this You Heng has been hated for many months, and he always finds an opportunity to debate and fight against people to gain his reputation.

It's just that this person has a good personality and is very good at reasoning, and in the past few months, everyone has been around him.

People with too high status don't bother to spray with him, and those with a slightly lower status can't spray him.

At this moment, the unknown young man who came from other places to hand over the watch actually won Youheng!

And what he said is very profound, and at first glance it is the kind that can scare people from the academic source.

Towering, full of energy.

Those spectators who usually hate Youheng, how can they not be sought after?

When Zhuge Jin was only halfway through the spray, the other sleeping scholars in the county mansion were all called down by their companions, crowded into the wine house, and ordered a pot of wine to listen to Zhuge Jin spray Youheng.

Later, the business of the wine house was so good that most of the people in the county mansion came, and there were not enough tables to sit on, so they had to stand and listen.

The shopkeeper was also embarrassed to ask people to buy wine before they could enter.

By the time it was all over, the county hall was packed, and there were people at the door.

Fortunately, You Heng came to Xudu, after all, he was not alone, and there were still a few attendants and nodding friends by his side.

Just now I saw that he was sprayed, and someone had already reported it.

This Yizhou County Mansion is not far from the Jiuqing Mansion, otherwise it would not become a distribution center for officials seekers.

So after a while, someone from the Yamen of the master craftsman found Kong Rong, your best friend, to save the scene.

After Kong Rong arrived, he was considered a peacemaker, and seeing that the academic dispute between the two sides had already been discussed, he asked Zhuge Jin to accept it when he saw it.

Zhuge Jin also knew that Kong Rong had a good relationship with Liu Bei, and he had finished spraying everything he should have sprayed, so he took the opportunity to give Kong Rong a face, but at the same time reminded Kong Rong in public:

"After the master craftsman of Confucius, the name of Zhili was praised all over the world, and the boy admired it. But Master Kong doesn't seem to know how to make overall plans. When the boy saw the construction of the palace today, civil transportation was so labor-intensive. ”

When Zhuge Jin went to visit the palace construction site in the morning, he noticed that there was a big problem with the construction scheduling, the efficiency was low, and there was not even the labor-saving thinking in the later Song Dynasty text, "Three battles in one fell swoop".

If he is allowed to dial it a little, there is definitely a lot of room for improvement.

But originally Zhuge Jin didn't want to give advice in private, so it would be no good for him.

In the public place where there are many officials and scholars, the situation is completely different.

He had the opportunity to show his talents in public, and Kong Rong was not easy to ignore his contributions.

In this way, if things are done well in the future, it will definitely reach the ears of Xun Yu and Cao Cao - of course Zhuge Jin is not here to please Xun Yu and Cao Cao, but to save money and effort in building the palace, this is also to take care of the people who are oppressed by forced labor.

Second, Zhuge Jin knows that this is good for his Zhuge family and Liu Bei's official position and the righteousness of the court.

Since this is the case, let's make a name for yourself in public temporarily, and leave after reaping the benefits, don't wait for Cao Cao to keep him as a Beijing official. (Even if Cao Cao stays, he can also find an excuse to refuse to conquer, such as in the name of filial piety, he needs to go to the local place to save his uncle)

Kong Rong originally came to get friends, but he never expected that this would cause him to burn himself, and in front of hundreds of onlookers, he was pointed out that the project resource scheduling he was responsible for was inefficient.

But in front of everyone's eyes, he had no choice but to humbly be taught and listen to the other party's opinions.

PS: It's Monday early hours again, and the new week is asking for tickets, collections, and chasing more. Ask for the minimum reward for a wave of 0 fan value support, and rush the number of fans (book friends who have already rewarded the book and whose fan value is not 0, don't have to break the bank.) I'm just increasing the number of followers, not for the money. You can tip the minimum amount, as long as the fan value is not 0, it is valid. ）

I also want to add more, but I have just taken the small referral position for two weeks, and today is the first day of the third week, and I have just scored strong.

So, thank you, I'll naturally explode if I get good grades on the shelves.

My update is definitely not slower than other new issues.
