Cao Qi watched the other party leave coldly, and then turned around and walked to Guo Ping's side.

Guo Ping pursed his lips and reluctantly opened his mouth.

"Middle Father."

Although Cao Qi is much older than Guo Ping, they studied together under Wang Su in the past, and they are very good friends.

As a result, when they grew up a little, they were only a few years apart in age, but they were a generation apart.

Cao Qi is Cao Chao's younger brother, and Guo Ping is Cao Chao's adopted son.

According to the etiquette, we can't get along like we used to.

Cao Qi laughed, "Get up, don't be so reluctant, I helped you!" ”

"I don't think Wang Jun dares to make a move on us"

"Don't think that if you have your father to support you, they won't dare to make a move on you, they want to fix you, and the way is to ensure that Your Majesty will be speechless."

"Be careful in the future, everyone in this family is cautious."

Cao Qi complained a few words, and then called the people around him to them and introduced them.

"This person is called the tree function, and he is my best friend, a native of Liangzhou."

Guo Ping couldn't help but glance at this person more.

It's a strange name.

Sounds like a Xianbei person.

But looking at his appearance and dress, there is no difference between him and the people of the Central Plains, Shuji can greet Guo with a smile and speak fluently.

Cao Qi pointed to another person, "This person is called Liu Hong, and he is the son of Liu Gong, the former general of Zhenbei. ”

Guo Ping looked at the two brothers.

These two people are tall and big, and they look very majestic, standing beside Cao Qi on the left and right.

Cao Qi left here with them and walked to the opposite side of the high platform, which was very close to the high platform, and there were armor soldiers watching, ordinary people could not approach, this was a place where only those sacrificial wine or important ministers could sit.

Cao Qi took them here.

Cao Qi, as the king of the East China Sea, is naturally qualified to sit here, and Guo Ping can also follow him to take a seat.

Seeing Cao Qi, Pan Yue's attitude became even more enthusiastic.

Just as they were talking, a group of people came from a distance, led by two people, chuckling and saluting the surrounding scholars, and even Cao Qi and the others hurriedly got up.

Those two people, one is the recently famous Qian Zhou in Luoyang.

The other is the scripture boss Xun Yi.

The two of them walked at the forefront talking and laughing, and this time, Guo Ping and Chen Zhi glanced at each other, and they both understood who was helping Qian Zhou behind the scenes.

After worshipping with the people, he sat on the high platform.

According to Qian Zhou's own reputation, it is still not possible for him to hold such a big event in Taixue, but with the help of the Xun family, there will be no problem.

Qian Zhou is not good at conversation, he chooses to go straight to the topic and talks about the classics.

The Six Classics of Qian Zhou's governance are one more than those who are assessed, but at this moment, what he told everyone was "Xunzi".

"Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death. If it should be treated, it will be good, and if it should be chaotic, it will be vicious"

The beginning of Qian Zhou starts with the "Treatise on Heaven", and every paragraph he says, he will give his own commentary, combining some major events that have happened in the world, and then talking about how to combine them with the present.

"When the Later Han Dynasty was born, the local sacrifices were made year after year, and the opera was not forgotten in the spring of every year, but why was there still turmoil in the world?"

Some people say that it was because the emperor at that time was not virtuous and unladylike, so all kinds of disasters came down from heaven, but did these disasters only appear in their time? Was there no before them? ”

"Now there are also disasters in various places, but are the ministers in the temple not wise enough? Is Your Majesty not wise enough? ”

Qian Zhou began his own explanation.

At this moment, the scholars were stunned, and everyone whispered.

At this time, the celestial and human induction had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, almost to the extent that no one did not believe it.

Feudal fatalism has reached its extreme, in fact, not long ago, Qian Zhou himself was a member of feudal fatalism, but the emperor was not, therefore, Qian Zhou was not.

The last person who clamored to break the feudal fatalism was Cao Wei's minister Zhong Changtong.

In his writings, he put forward the idea of taking people as the foundation, believing that heaven is nature, without will and purpose, and everything must rely on man.

But he was born too early, he lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, so his thoughts were considered arrogant, and he himself bore the name of madness.

If he had been born a hundred years later, no one would have said that about him.

Let's just say that if Qian Zhou's current remarks were placed fifty years ago, it is estimated that someone would have to stand up directly and scold him, thinking that he did not know the destiny of heaven and should be pulled out to deal with it.

But now, there are all kinds of ideas and propositions, and everyone's acceptance is much stronger than before, so although the scholars were surprised to hear these words of Qian Zhou, they could still listen to them.

After saying this for half an hour, someone finally stood up and questioned.

"Duke Qian doesn't know the Mandate of Heaven, no wonder the Shu Kingdom perished, if there is no Mandate of Heaven, Duke Qian may tell, why did the Shu Kingdom perish? Why can Great Wei be unified? ”

The famous man who got up, he is a sage in Taixue.

This person's name is Sun Yan, and he is a heavyweight in the entire Taixue, and his teacher is called Zheng Xuan.

With this alone, he can beat the entire Taixue celebrities.

And he and Wang Su have never been able to get along.

In the battle of King Zheng, he has always stood on the side of his teacher against Wang Su.

Wang Su was very disgusted with him, so he made a holy argument to deal with him, and in the process of the fight between the two, Sun Yan was suppressed by Wang Su.

Still, it's pretty impressive.

He is the most representative person in Zheng Xue today.

And his proposition is absolute fatalism inherited from Zheng Xuan.

They believe that imperial power is an incomparably sacred thing, and the Son of Heaven represents God, so they must absolutely obey the Son of Heaven, which is the mandate of Heaven, and if they do not obey, there will be very serious consequences.

Later generations often appeared in the "king wants the death of the minister" and the like, which is their proposition.

But in fact, not all early Confucianism asserted such claims.

Chen Zhou's words were obviously inconsistent with the claims of Sun Yan and others, so Sun Yan was the first to come forward to refute them.

Sun Yan himself has also taught a lot of disciples, including the Hun celebrity Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan is still Zheng Xuan's apprentice!

Sun Yan's question is also very sharp.

Qian Zhou didn't panic at all, he replied: "Shu perished because the national strength was weak, not as good as the Great Wei, and the prosperity of the Great Wei was because the emperor was virtuous, the ministers fulfilled their duties, and the generals were brave and fearless. ”

"Bastard !!"

Sun Yan was furious.

Xun Yi got up at this moment and asked, "Could it be that Sun Gong thinks that His Majesty is not virtuous today?" The ministers are not working hard enough? The generals didn't pay much, just because of the Mandate of Heaven to complete the unification? ”

"Xun Yi, these are words that are causing trouble in the world!"

"I'm not saying that Your Majesty is not wise and your ministers are not wise, but the reason why they are like this is because of the Mandate of Heaven!"

Guo Ping and Chen Zhi sat quietly below, listening to their quarrel.

Neither of them dared to say anything more.

At this moment, a familiar voice was suddenly heard.

"I think it's not the destiny of heaven, it's man-made!"

"The king is wise, the ministers are wise, the country is prosperous, if the king is not virtuous, then the society is lost, this is the truth of the ages, the reason why today can prosper, is because of me such a capable minister"

Everyone looked at it, but at some point, Zhong Hui appeared in the crowd.

That's right, it's impossible for him not to come to such a lively gathering of celebrities and celebrities.

No matter how much he had in his hands, he would come and show his face.

Zhong Hui's participation made the situation even more chaotic.

Next, it is the duel between Qian Zhou and many celebrities, Chen Zhou is stupid, but fortunately, there are many celebrities who are willing to help him.

The two sides debated like this for more than an hour, and there was no winner or loser.

It's a pity that Wang Su has passed away, if he is still there, like Sun Yan and the like, I am afraid that he will not have a chance to speak for so long, and he would have been hidden by what he said.

Guo Ping and Chen Zhi listened for a long time, and when the young scholars began to take over from the elders to continue the debate, they couldn't listen to it anymore.

Qian Zhou's visit this time was obviously just to warm up the scene, and he beat this idea out first, and he didn't think that he would convince everyone once.

A few people got up and quietly left the place.

As soon as they reached the door, a soldier stopped them.

Immediately, they were brought to a person.

Zhong Huizheng looked at them with a smile, his eyes fixed on Xiahou Zhan and Pan Yue.

"Lian Bi is all here, why don't you come to see me and want to leave?"

The crowd hurriedly saluted.

Zhong Hui told them to follow him and walk outside.

Pan Yue couldn't help but ask, "Gong Zhong, don't you stay and continue listening?" ”

"What is the use of these debates, which can be regarded as entertainment, not completely obsessed, but focused on big things, and who gather together all day long like this, but can only do some verbal arguments?"

Zhong Hui suddenly asked, "What do you think of today's debate?" ”

Pan Yue was the first to reply: "I just think that all the celebrities are extremely knowledgeable, today's words reminded me of Changyan, I have read this book, and I know a little about it."

He said a lot of things, and it can be seen that Pan Yue still agrees with Qian Zhou's words.

Maybe it's just because Zhong Hui seems to agree with his words.

However, he did say the Tao, and he spoke much more smoothly than Qian Zhou, at least without restraint.

Zhong Hui nodded straightly, "Not bad, not bad." ”

followed by Xiahou Zhan, who seemed to be much calmer, "I am only a shallow learner, although I have heard a lot, I don't feel anything." ”

Zhong Hui smiled and said, "You can be regarded as honest too!" Not bad, not bad. ”

Chen Zhi then said: "I, like Xiahou Jun, don't have much to gain."

"Hmph, if you don't learn, you can't !! skills"
