Chapter 176: Songyang's Lecture
Sima Guang didn't seem to see Fan Zuyu, he picked up the pen on the side and dipped it in the inkstone, and then wrote on the paper.
"This 'dark knight' puzzle can be solved in this way, but is this really the end of ethics?" Sima Guang muttered to himself, and a lot of words had already been written on the paper, which were the knowledge written in the "Principles of Ethics".
"In his way, the model is perfected each time, and each time it always thinks that it solves all the moral problems of the world, but the next chapter raises a new moral dilemma, and then the old model makes new additions......"
"If it weren't for reading this book, I really wouldn't have thought that there were so many things we should have noticed in this, how could Qin Xianao's head be able to come up with so many, Uncle Hao specializes in this, I have listened to his lectures, it seems that he can't imagine that there is such a moral dilemma in the world......" Sima Guang was completely immersed in his own world.
At the beginning, Sima Guang did have a deep prejudice, and he always had to compete with Qin Xianao and the ideas in the book, but the truth in the book was becoming more and more mysterious, and the direct consequence of this was that Sima Guang read more and more slowly, from competing with Qin Xianao, to understanding the meaning of the book, from the beginning to understand only half a cup of tea, and later, to understand a knowledge point, it takes an hour, two hours, or even a whole day.
Sima Guang's mood is also changing, from a long breath after understanding it at the beginning, to a dance of eyebrows when he understands it later, to being as happy as winning a battle every time he understands a difficult point, and then to being shocked and surprised after understanding it, so he writes it down on paper and carefully ponders the aftertaste......
The change of mind again and again, now Sima Guang has already put aside the fighting spirit of competing with Qin Xianao, and first learned all these things that surprised him in his stomach.
Naturally, it became what Fan Zuyu saw now.
Sima Guang wrote a few strokes, and suddenly frowned, but the pen was left for too long. The ink in the inkstone was dry, and at this time, a hand came over with a teacup and poured a few drops of tea into the inkstone.
"Chunfu?"
Sima Guang exclaimed in surprise: "When did you come, look at my ......"
"Teacher, I just arrived, and I didn't wake you up when I saw that the teacher was in a trance. Fan Zuyu said.
Sima Guang nodded.
"Chunfu is here to speak. Where have you read this "Principles of Ethics"? Don't tell me you've read it all. Sima Guang said with a smile.
"The more you get to the end of the book, the more obscure it becomes, where can it be so easy to read. Fan Zuyu said with emotion.
Well, although it is difficult, but in general it is consistent and systematic, like the derivation of moral values, no matter how it changes, it is a formula, premise 1. Premise 2, Conclusion 1, Conclusion 2...... "Sima Guang's eyebrows danced, and Fan Zuyu smiled bitterly: "Teacher, the principles of ethics can be discussed in the future, I have a big deal this time." ”
"What's the matter?" Sima Guang looked at Fan Zuyu.
"It's not the students of the academy who have organized a parade because of the "Principles of Ethics", seeing that the common people are not inferior to us because of this "Principles of Ethics", ......"
"Ordinary people want to organize a march?"
Sima Guang's face suddenly became solemn. His eyebrows furrowed, and he knocked on the table.
Fan Zuyu continued: "Therefore. The students were not angry in their hearts and wanted to fight back, and they found a lot of mistakes in the Principles of Ethics......"
"Error?"
Sima Guang's eyes widened, and then he said in a deep voice: "Mess up, what are the mistakes in this book, and if there are any, they can also find out?"
"That's what I thought, too. But Huayang and Kairan all agreed to this, and I couldn't make up my mind for a while, so I dragged them and came back to discuss this with you. Fan Zuyu said.
"You're doing the right thing!"
Sima Guangshu stood up: "I'll go with you." ”
The sun shines in the backyard of Cheng Yi's mansion, and Cheng Yi sits on the Taishi chair reading under the old ginkgo tree in the courtyard. Although the injury he suffered last time was not completely healed, after so many days of recuperation, Cheng Yi also let go a little, and he was no longer competing with Qin Xianao in his heart, and he was slowly able to read and study the book "Principles of Ethics".
This release, with the discussion, the stone of other mountains, can attack the jade attitude and devote himself to ethics, Cheng Yi has lived like a fish in water, especially in the past two days, Cheng Yi even snorted twice from time to time when reading books Haha, obviously the mood is extraordinarily relaxed, and even excited.
At this moment-
"Conscience and reputation are good moral ......"
Cheng Yi muttered to himself excitedly, and Lu Dalin's figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw Cheng Yi's red face, Lu Dalin's heart was also a little happy: "The teacher hasn't been so happy for a long time." ”
"Yo, the big is coming, is there anything to see in today's newspaper?"
"Teacher, there are no new things in the recent newspaper except for the old three, and Qin Xianao still hasn't poured cold water on us. ”
"Didn't pour cold water?" Cheng Yi laughed loudly, "As soon as this book came out, it has established his status as a grandmaster in ethics, which no one can erase, even if Confucius is reincarnated and Mencius is reborn, he can only blink and watch him reach the top, and he still needs to pour cold water on us?"
"Yes, when Han Zihua went into hiding, we always thought that we had caught Qin Xianao's pain point and chased after it......" Lu Dalin's face was a little gloomy.
Cheng Yi was also silent.
"That time we were aggressive, Qin Xianao lowered his body to visit, and sent me a "Galloping Horse", and then everyone had a meeting, and I strongly opposed them to continue to persecute Qin Xianao for this matter, but unfortunately only Dong Xiyan and Shao Bowen agreed with me at that time, and the rest were short-sighted, so this matter was in vain, and now they are happy?" Cheng Yi sighed.
"Who would have thought that what we caught was not his pain point, but what he was best at, this is really ......" Lu Dalin smiled bitterly, "Teacher, now it seems that in this debate, we have lost, completely lost!"
"Did you lose?"
Cheng Yi was silent for a long time, walked to the center of the courtyard, and looked up at the sky: "If it is only from the text, from the hearts of the people, maybe we really lose, but how can things be so simple!"
"Teacher means ......"
"Let's fight for these, quarrel shirtless for these, the real purpose is not for that ......" Cheng Yi sighed with emotion, "In terms of longevity, it is the ultimate test, what if Qin Xianao wins this round?"
"Longevity?"
Lu Dalin's face rekindled with excitement: "That's right. That's the root of everything!"
"Da Lin, is there something wrong with you coming this time?"
"The teacher knew that something had happened in the academy, and the students found hundreds of mistakes in the Principles of Ethics. ”
"Hundreds of mistakes?" Cheng Yi's eyes widened, and then he couldn't cry or laugh: "These fools, the old man can't find a single mistake." They are good, there are hundreds of them when they find them, they have this ability, don't they even have to worship the old man and Qin Xianao as teachers?"
"Isn't it? Lu Dalin said with a bitter face, "They said that they were going to demonstrate, write big-character posters, and publish these mistakes, I think it is inappropriate, so I came to ask the teacher's opinion." ”
"You go and gather people. I'll check it out!"
......
All the students of Songyang Academy gathered in the courtyard.
"The patriarch is coming to give a lecture in person. ”
"Patriarch Sima hasn't come to lecture for a long time, and today is finally here, now we have ears. ”
"Master Zu is not here to give a lecture this time, but because we are marching, he wants to point out the mistakes of the Principles of Ethics, so that our action will be more perfect......"
All the students were very excited, and soon Sima Guang turned out from behind the screen.
"Huh?"
Many people found that Sima Guang's face was very calm, and he didn't seem to be excited and happy at all. And Sima Guang is holding a beautiful book in his hand, which is "Principles of Ethics".
"I've heard that everyone is very nice. Many errors and omissions in the Principles of Ethics were discovered. Sima Guang spoke in a deep voice, his voice a little strangely calm, "Very good, very good, everyone is very good, "Principles of Ethics" is the proud work of some people. You can find the mistakes and omissions, which shows that everyone has really worked hard and hard!"
As soon as these words came out, all the students cheered, and only a few heard the faint trace of sarcasm hidden in Sima Guang's voice.
"It just so happens that the old man has also been studying the Principles of Ethics these days. I also have a lot of experience. Sima Guang said in a deep voice again, "Let's have a discussion first, let the old man listen to what mistakes you have found, who has found the mistakes, raise their hands one by one, and take turns to let the old man listen......
Under Sima Guang's bland statements, one by one the students jumped to speak, proudly expressing their attacks on the "Principles of Ethics".
"Master Zu, we have written down all the inaccuracies in that book, and as soon as you give the order, we will start marching and posting big-character posters. He Sheng, who was the leader, triumphantly handed the wrong piece of paper with the "Principles of Ethics" in his hand to Sima Guang.
"Yes!"
"All the mistakes are written on this?" Sima Guang took the paper lightly.
"I also asked Master Zu to polish it. He Sheng said proudly.
"Polish?"
Sima Guang raised the paper in his hand high, and then exerted his hands with force.
"Click!"
This piece of paper, which carries the hard work of all the students, is divided into two.
Quiet!
The whole compound was quiet, and the students stared at Sima Guang, all stunned.
'Click!''Click!'
Sima Guang on the stage, twice, three times...... The paper was torn up continuously, and finally thrown into the air, and then his face turned so black that he could unscrew it.
"Is there a mistake in the Principles of Ethics?" Sima Guang's voice contained anger.
"Master Zu, what do you mean......" He Sheng was a little dazed, and the students were also a little dazed, didn't you say that Qin Xianao was wrong, Qin Xianao's theory was not right, that was not right, and this time everyone was for ......
And the mistakes, omissions and inappropriateness that they wrote, although some of them are indeed forceful, but there are also many that are indeed not wrong, and they do point out the errors of the "Principles of Ethics", why is this not good?
"What do I mean?" Sima Guang's voice roared like thunder, "Let me tell you, the book "Principles of Ethics" is the most thoroughly written book on benevolence, righteousness and morality throughout the ages, this is a strange book!"
"Ahh
One by one, they were even more confused.
No one would have imagined that Sima Guang would have such a high evaluation of "Principles of Ethics", calling it a "strange book", praised as the most thorough writing of benevolence, righteousness and morality in heaven and earth for thousands of years.
What does this mean? This is what Sima Guang said only when he admired the "Principles of Ethics" so much. (To be continued.) )
