When none of the students came back to their senses-

"This book, the old man can assert here, Confucius could not write. ”

Sima Guang's exaggerated praise sounded again.

"Meng Shengren can't write, Taoist sage Lao Tzu can't write, Zhuangzi can't write, Mozi can't write, throughout the ages, no one can write ......"

Although Fan Zuyu knew that Sima Guang recognized the academic value of "Principles of Ethics" in his heart like himself, he was also stunned when he heard Sima Guang say that even Confucius couldn't write this book.

"Such a book, I can publish a book in the Great Song Dynasty is already burning high incense......"

"It is good that you do not believe in books and have the courage to doubt......"

"Sage Confucius can make mistakes, and it is not impossible for this book to make mistakes, but ......"

In the large courtyard, Sima Guang roared like thunder, and after praising the "Principles of Ethics" for a while, he began to refute the thorns picked out by the students before.

"The old man won't say much today, it's okay if you want to march, just take this matter to the parade, don't say that it's the old man's disciple in the future, the old man can't afford to lose this face!"

The students have strange eyes, you always have such a big temper, we still dare to march?

Sima Guang turned around and walked off the stage.

"Chunfu, you go and inform Ah Zhu and Ah Bi. Sima Guang was silent.

Azhu, Abi?

The eyes around them widened when they heard it, who were Ah Zhu and Ah Bi, and they naturally knew that the famous reporters of the New Youth Daily had been interviewed by the two of them in the past.

"Teacher, you want to be interviewed......"

"That's right, it's time to give the world an explanation. Sima Guang slowly walked out of the courtyard gate.

Inside Ikawa Academy.

Cheng Yi stood on the podium with a serious face. All the students in the audience were very excited.

"This parade, if the patriarch can give guidance, it will be perfect!"

"The patriarch must be more powerful than us to provoke the thorns in the "Principles of Ethics"!"

As soon as the Principles of Ethics came out, they bought it and read it. I was dumbfounded after reading it for a few days.

Since Spinoza began writing in 1662, ethics has continued to evolve and has lasted nearly 900 years to the time of the Qin Dynasty. During this period, it took more than ten years for Spinoza to write "Ethics", and successive generations of scholars and masters devoted their lives to this ethics, which did not take decades.

What's more, later generations specialized disciplines, and there were specialized philosophical disciplines.

Many students are admitted to the Faculty of Philosophy and devote their lives to it. The picture is to make new discoveries and make good results on this, in order to help the times and become famous. Even so, the real ethics masters, world-class masters, often spend ten years writing an ethics book, and often write a book for decades.

There are many knowledge points in "Principles of Ethics", which readers look inconspicuous at. I think that's just it, but before it appeared. If you want to get it out, it is impossible to succeed without more than ten years, even if there are tens of years and almost hundreds of years, without the luck of a flash of inspiration, it may not be successful.

The effect of this is to see the more you look behind. Almost every one of them is fresh, something they have never thought of before, and they can't even think of it through, but here it gives a very amazing answer.

"Although I admire this book "Principles of Ethics" very much, it must be wrong. It's just that I can't find a mistake, and the patriarch will definitely be able to give me the answer!"

"I was very excited to see "Principles of Ethics", and I thought it was a really good book on benevolence, righteousness and morality, but ...... This should be an illusion, after all, according to this book, then our current morality is not very reasonable, but how can this be ......"

......

They all looked forward to Cheng Yi on the stage excitedly.

"You have to find thorns and find mistakes and omissions in the Principles of Ethics, I am very happy and welcome, and I believe that Qin Xianao himself is also very welcome. Cheng Yi spoke lightly, his voice was loud and powerful, but his tone was a little weird.

"But!"

"We're not hooligans, we're not ruffians, we're not bullies!"

"We are gentlemen, we are great Confucians who talk about morality, read the books of sages, and set an example for the subjects of the world, even if we can't be great Confucians, but we should always be able to be a gentleman, right?"

"What is a gentleman?"

"You have read so many books, don't you know that the gentleman is the most ideal person in the heart of Sage Confucius, who is still benevolent and righteous, and puts virtue first!"

"But look at you, what do you call virtuous?"

"With such a good book of Principles of Ethics, a young man under twenty years old can write such a good book, it actually provokes our entire academy to find faults, and there are hundreds of mistakes in one pick!"

Cheng Yi's words came out.

The smiles on each of their faces froze.

And then-

"Hundreds of mistakes, you guys are amazing!"

"You still have to take it to post big-character posters and hold parades, so that you want to be known to the whole world, enter the annals of history, and leave a name in history?"

"Who came up with this idea? The old man has to admire you, if Qin Xianao sees it, I'm afraid he will be so happy that he will bow down to you......"

......

Cheng Yi scolded all over the place, and this scolding lasted for two whole hours, and in the end, the four disciples of Cheng Men came forward to persuade him to leave.

At the same time, one by one, like Cheng Yi and Sima Guang, received the news that the disciples were organizing a parade, and then hurried to put out the fire.

At this time, Sima Guang was interviewed by A Zhu and A Bi.

This interview was also published in the newspaper almost unchanged.

The three drunken buildings in Luoyang City leaned against a table on the inner wall, and the handsome young scholar drank alone.

"Should we read the Four Books and Five Classics, and are the Three Principles and Five Constants correct? If so, isn't the "Principles of Ethics" wrong?"

Wang Jianping has confusion in his eyes, since reading "Principles of Ethics", his confusion has not been broken, the last time the students encouraged him to participate in the parade, he was ignorant, and the students asked him to find mistakes and omissions in "Principles of Ethics", and he also found a deal in ignorance. It's just that he doesn't even believe it.

Sure enough, a few days later, just as everyone was about to officially set off for the march, Cheng Yi appeared.

Cheng Yi was furious at Yichuan Academy and scolded all the students for a bloody time, although Wang Jianping was in Lizheng Academy at the time, and did not directly bear Cheng Yi's anger. But after hearing about this, I was even more confused.

Cheng Yi scolded everyone for being bloody, but he didn't explain much about "Principles of Ethics".

"According to the Principles of Ethics, the moral standards we now enforce are undoubtedly wrong and anachronistic, or not good enough, but if they are wrong, then they will ...... for a thousand years."

"The patriarch does not comment on the ideas in the Principles of Ethics, but we are not allowed to march around and speak ill of the Principles of Ethics. Could it be that he, like me, is skeptical...... Do you suspect that the ethics that have worked for thousands of years are not good enough?"

"No...... It's impossible, the teacher has maintained the Confucian etiquette system the most in his life, how can he ......" Wang Jianping numbly poured wine into his mouth, wanting to wash away the confusion in his brain with drunkenness.

"Big brother, buy a newspaper!"

"Buy a newspaper?" Wang Jianping sobered up a little, and even looked to the side. At this time, many diners in the restaurant were reading newspapers, and a little boy selling newspapers next to him was looking over with wide eyes.

"Okay. Wang Jianping took out five copper plates in a row.

"Big brother. Today, there is an interview with Ah Zhu and A Bi with Sima Xianggong, and you will never lose money if you buy it. The newspaper boy said crisply.

"Sima Guang's interview?"

Wang Jianping woke up suddenly, quickly took the newspaper, and turned to the front page, sure enough, this front page was Sima Guang's interview, and I saw:

"Mr. Sima Guang contacted me and said that he was willing to be interviewed. We were pleasantly surprised to give a brief explanation of the book "Principles of Ethics" to the people of the world. "Principles of Ethics", a book that Qin Gongzi said was from the realm of Qin Immortals, and I have also read it. It's better not to write than not to write, but after all, we still have to make an explanation, this time Mr. Sima Guang is willing to accept some simple interviews about this book, and we are naturally looking forward to it......"

The beginning is the inscription of Ah Zhu and Ah Bi, and a lot of chatter is written, and the interview transcript is followed by the inscription.

"Mr. Sima, although you said when you contacted us that you would not accept any interviews on the incident of the fall of the emperor, I think the people of the world would like to know your thoughts on this matter, can you say a little bit or two?"

"The incident of falling the emperor is a disaster for the old man, the taste of which is difficult to describe, if you really want to talk about it, you can't say what you mean in your heart for three days and three nights, here the old man will say a few words. ”

"The reason for this matter lies in the two county reward questions thrown by Qin Xianao's son, saying that if someone can solve this problem, he is willing to pay on behalf of the people, and the people think that I, Sima Guang, prevent this matter, this is a great wrong, the official family, the court and the old man, don't they want the people below to be good? Therefore, as soon as the reward of Qin Gongzi came out, the old man ordered to go down and do everything possible to answer this question, but it is a pity that there are too few talents like Qin Xianao in the world, so there has been no result so far. ”

"Mr. Sima, forgive me for taking the liberty of interjecting, I know that your intelligence, talent, and ability belong to one and two in this world, and your disciples have many protégés, all of whom are talents, didn't you do it yourself, or let your protégés do it?"

"Talent belongs to one belongs to two? There is him Qin Xianao, Cheng Yi, Lu Gongshu, Wang Anshi, Wen Yanbo, etc., I Sima Guang don't dare to talk about what is talented, I Sima Guang can have some achievements, one is that everyone is raising the family, of course, I Sima Guang has always been diligent to learn, not daring to have the slightest slack is also one of the reasons, more luck, if you say intelligence, not nothing, but never dare to say that it belongs to one and two, this will not be said in the future, as for your question. ”

"I, Sima Guang, have been enlightened since I was a child and kowtowed nine heads in front of the portrait of Confucius, Confucius has always been ashamed of his cheap learning, although the old man will not look down on those crop doctrines, but it is impossible to disobey the saints and pursue those things, but this time Qin Gongzi offered a reward, to pay on behalf of the common people, for the sake of the well-being of the common people, the old man did calculate it himself. ”

"Why?"

"I'm ashamed, the old man went into battle in person, and he still didn't have anything to do with these two questions, in this regard, the old man is indeed far inferior to Qin Gongzi. In this way, with the help of your newspaper, the old man hereby promises to the world that if any one can answer these two questions, the old man is willing to come to the door and ask for advice!"

Seeing that Wang Jian's eyebrows were slightly raised, Sima Guang responded to the reward in just a few words, and pointed out at the beginning that his mind was for the good of the people, and he also made efforts, if this kind of response appeared in the newspaper before the fall of the emperor and the people's movement, even if the parade existed, it would not have developed into what it was later. Then Ah Zhu and Ah Bi pointed the finger at Sima Guang himself when he did it himself, Sima Guang's response can be said to be more wonderful, this time he first said that because of Confucius's teachings, he Sima Guang should not have done it himself, but because it was related to the well-being of the common people, he had to do it, and in the end, Sima Guang boldly admitted that he was incompetent and admitted that he was not as proud as Qin Xian.

Finally, I made a promise to ask someone who could answer the bounty question.

As the minister of a country and a heavyweight who has been famous for decades, no one will doubt the sincerity of making such a promise for the country and the people.

"If his interview had appeared half a year earlier, I'm afraid it would have ......" Wang Jianping shook his head in his heart, his eyes swept around, and sure enough, many people read the interview and sighed in low voices.

"Sima Xianggong is a good person!"

"We also thought about him as prime minister wholeheartedly, just because we liked the good of others, but we just ......"

"He's right!"

"Yes, he's right, we're not wrong, what's wrong is that his talent is not enough, if we want to live in the fairy kingdom, we have to oppose him......"

......

Wang Jianping retracted his gaze and looked at the newspaper again.

Sima Guang said a few more words about the incident of the fall of the emperor, and then said that the one who is clear is self-clear, and he Sima Guang has a clear conscience all his life, and leave everything to history, and then he will not say more.

Then Ah Zhu asked: "Confucianism talks about the six virtues and six elements, and requires benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, wisdom, faith and forgiveness, Mr. Sima Guang, you grew up reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and you also have the most say in ethics and morality, Qin Gongzi published this "Principles of Ethics" this time, I don't know what you think about this?"

What will Sima Guang say? Wang Jianping's spirit suddenly came. (To be continued.) )
