"Nonsense!" Sima Guang scolded with a smile, "You must not say this outside, otherwise people will listen to it and think that I taught you, then my Sima Guang's face will be lost." ”

The old man grinned.

"Okay, you go about yourself, I'll be measured. Sima Guang waved his hand, and the old man packed up the teacup and exited the study.

Sima Guang sighed softly.

"If Qin Xian Ao really writes nonsense, that's a good thing, and I don't have to have such a headache, but those obscure and difficult to understand, and I can't even figure out how to figure it out, when I really figure it out little by little, it's not nonsense at all, but it makes people's eyes shine, and my heart is excited and happy, of course, maybe he is talking nonsense, the reason why it makes sense is that the blind cat hit the dead mouse, but once like this, twice like this, three times or like this, how can it be so coincidental?"

Sima Guang shook his head and took the "Principles of Ethics" on the side.

"A book written by Qin Xianao, let's not talk about counterattacking, at least we have to read it to the end, read it, and I, Sima Guang, have never been weaker than others in my life, if I even vomit blood when I read such a book, what will it be?"

Sima Guang reopened the book, in addition to having to read it, Sima Guang himself also wanted to read it, and he couldn't stop it.

The more I read, the more I want to know what else is written in the back of this book, after all, although Sima Guang is a master of history, it does not mean that his other knowledge is weak, as a person who has read the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and has spent most of his life studying Confucianism, Sima Guang has a natural affinity for the study of ethics, which is very different from reading the "Primitive Geometry".

......

The martial arts world collectively lost its voice.

Although ordinary people have bought "Principles of Ethics", most of them have only read the superficial content in front of them, and there are very few people who really sink down to read them, but they are the scholars.

Qin Xianao's reward question can't be solved until now, and many people have actually given up, even if the calculation is due to the urging of the teacher, they have no choice but to do it. At this moment, when the "Principles of Ethics" is born, how can they not buy it and read it, and this reading, especially if they study it seriously-

A quiet small house not far from Lizheng Academy.

As soon as Senior Sister Wanqing talked about Qin Xianao, her eyes lit up, she was the most convinced of Qin Xianao. Undoubtedly, Qin Xianao is indeed worthy of admiration, and I know this, but all along, I am still a little unconvinced, but now it seems that ......"

The handsome tall young man whispered to himself, "The difference between me and him is really incomprehensible, he is already the founder of the sect, and he is ......" Wang Jianping looked at the "Principles of Ethics" in his hand. There was a look of shock in his eyes.

A book of "Principles of Ethics", he read it with critical thoughts, but the more he read it, the more shocked he became.

"I shouldn't doubt the legitimacy and correctness of my Luo Xue. ”

"My Luo Xue must be the most correct in the world, there is no other doctrine that can compare, but ......"

"Why?"

Wang Jianping squeezed his fist, "Why is this happening?"

After reading "Principles of Ethics" for so many days, Wang Jianping thought about it repeatedly, and the more he thought about it, the more he discovered the advanced and powerful nature of "Principles of Ethics".

Qin Xianao said in the preface that this book was five thousand years ahead of its time. Even the 'feudal society' has been circulating, not jumping into a higher level of 'capitalist' society. Probably 10,000 years ahead, or even more, I'm starting to disdain it. ”

But now it seems that the simplest part of his book is the first one. ”

Wang Jianping looked at the dozen diaries on the desk that he wrote while listening to Cheng Yi's lectures, and after repeated comparisons, Wang Jianping was surprised to find that the most superficial part of "Principles of Ethics". It is actually very esoteric to get Luo Xuezhong, and it takes a lot of effort to learn it well.

And the real reason for this, Wang Jianping also figured it out.

"I studied Luoxue, just reading the book written by Mr. Cheng Yi, I knew every word in many places. I also know every word and every sentence, but when I put it together, I can't understand what he is talking about, so I feel unfathomable, and I admire it so much that I spend a lot of money to come to this Lizheng Academy with an extremely pious heart, respectfully worship under his door, and listen to him explain and explain in person, so that I can understand the truth by listening again and again. ”

"And this one ......"

"The front part, the superficial part, can be understood at a glance. ”

"But this place can be understood at a glance, I carefully compare it repeatedly, and it actually ......"

In the "Principles of Ethics", he can understand the truth as soon as he reads it, and even ordinary literate people can read it, Wang Jianping finally found that he actually worshiped him under Cheng Yimen, and spent countless great costs to understand the truth, which is no different from all aspects such as depth, difficulty, and importance.

The impact is significant.

"If it's just that, the deeper I go, the more I learn, the more I learn......"

The consequence of this is that the more profound the truth, the more people cannot understand it, and more importantly, the research cannot be continued, just like without a steam engine and without the foundation of various scientific theories, the industrial revolution cannot rise.

"The most profound thing I learned from my teacher, really compared, "Principles of Ethics" can only be regarded as a primary stage of truth, the Great Wall, only two or three steps, this is ...... poor"

......

In the room, Wang Jianping turned around repeatedly, and the whole person was very haggard.

On the top of the mountain behind Songyang Academy, where Guo Yuanyuan broke through, the young man in white clothes and fluttering Confucian clothes looked confused.

"My ancestor is Sima Guang, what I have learned is the best, definitely!" Li Guang yelled at the valley, and beside him there was a book "Principles of Ethics" on the bluestone.

"Am I wrong? Why, why do I feel like this, I feel that we are all on the wrong path, Master is on the wrong path, Mr. Yi Chuan is on the wrong path, and Confucius is on the wrong path!"

"But what's wrong?"

"I study diligently, the teacher is strict with himself, the master is a lifelong hard worker, the sages of the past generations, and even the Confucian saints have been pursuing exploration all their lives, how can it be as good as ......"

Li Guang lowered his head, picked up the "Principles of Ethics" beside him, and gently stroked the cover of the book: "Perhaps, the teacher is right, this is a magic book, it is full of crooked ways, I shouldn't be confused by him!" A trace of perseverance flashed in his eyes.

"Whew!"

Arm flicks.

The book flew high and soon flew down to the bottom of the cliff, and Li Guang turned away with a resolute look in his eyes.

Thirty miles away from Zhengzhou, Shi Shiran, a young man with a spear on his back, walked to the loess brick house.

"Sheng Chao, you came just in time. Guo Yuanyuan greeted her, her eyes were full of excitement, "Since the day before yesterday, there has been a surge in newspaper articles, and you will never think of what these surge articles are talking about." ”

"Oh. As soon as Qin Chao raised his hand, the spear flew out, passed through the pane, and landed in the room, Qin Chao approached Guo Yuanyuan, lowered his voice and laughed, "Why don't we make a bet to see if I can guess, if I do......"

"What?" Guo Yuanyuan looked at Qin Chao with a smile, only to see Qin Chao's mouth snorting and coming up, Guo Yuanyuan's face turned red, and she chirped, "You go and kiss others!"

Qin Chao resisted the urge to chase after him, entered the house, and walked to the telegraph room.

"Host, your "Principles of Ethics" has finally been answered, many, many letters and drafts. Warburg Pincus said excitedly.

"Commentary on the Principles of Ethics?" Qin Chao's heart suddenly became eager, and he even came to the place where there were telegrams and newspapers, and took a look at the telegrams.

"Compared with the Four Books and Five Classics and the Hundred Schools, Mr.'s excellent work "Principles of Ethics" undoubtedly lacks magnificence and elegance in literature, and the use of words and sentences drags and lengthy, in short, it lacks beauty and is not easy for people to memorize, but all this is insignificant in his powerful content......"

"It's unbelievable, I can only say that this "Principles of Ethics" is absolutely a divine book. I have never believed in any fairy country, I believe in Confucian Confucianism, but also study Taoism, Buddhism, Qin Gongzi, you run a newspaper, write "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", reread history, talent is unparalleled in the world, and then "Tool Theory", "Geometric Original" is also an unprecedented move, but all this seems to me nothing. ”

"It is true that I can't get out "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", rereading history, "Tool Theory" and "Geometric Original", but in my opinion, it's like I can't farm, can't make a house, can't cook, I just have a specialization in art, but this "Principles of Ethics" made me sober......"

"Sir, I haven't finished reading "Principles of Ethics" yet, but he is so wonderful that I can't read the rest quietly......"

"Although the old man is unknown, but the family has a lot of books, the old man has studied all his life, read all the hundred schools of thought, but I want to say that this book is the most special, this is not only in his style, not only in his length, not only in his narration, not only in his ......"

"Qin Gongzi, although the style of this "Principles of Ethics" is mediocre and even crude, his content has made him no longer need to decorate it with literary style......"

"What I want to say is that this is the first strange book in the world, as a person who studies the Four Books and the Five Classics, and studies ethics and morality, I didn't say it before, and if I don't read this book in the future, then don't say that I am a reader, so as not to make people laugh off their big teeth......"

"This book is like a clear spring, purifying the soul that is polluted by the world's turbid and vulgar books......"

"The old man used to be dismissive of the "Theory of Tools", but now it seems that maybe you are right, and we may really pay attention to the "Theory of Tools" as a tool for learning......

......

One by one, although some of them were criticizing the "Principles of Ethics", most of them were praise, and some were written directly to Qin Xianao.

Some of these letters to the Qin Dynasty were simply to vent the joy and excitement in their hearts, and some were to discuss some ethical issues with Qin Xianao, and some directly proposed to worship Qin Xianao as a teacher, asking Qin Xianao where he founded the academy, so that he could come to study with his teacher.

In addition to the letters, there are also some articles that are requested to be published, these articles are good about the "Principles of Ethics", what breakthroughs and advantages are compared with the previous traditional classics, etc., these articles are often extremely outstanding, this outstanding is not only literary brilliance, but also ideological, so that the Qin Dynasty also nodded constantly when he read it.
