"What do you think of "The Analects of Justice" this time?"

"Good!"

"Third son, don't brag nonsense, that book, there are no more than 2,000 people in the entire Luoyang City who have got the book, and there is absolutely no one among them, and these 2,000 people haven't finished reading the book since they bought it. ”

"Didn't finish reading it, wouldn't it, the ...... from Liu Qin last time?"

"Liu Qin's is different from this one, I know Mr. Li, Wang Xiucai, and Zhang Lao from Lizheng Academy, and they are still reading the book after they got it, but I did ask something. ”

"Speak quickly!"

"They all agreed that this time the writing was very ruthless, poisonous and spicy!"

"Ruthless, poisonous, spicy?"

"Well, it's very vicious and crazy! They said that this book is not easy to say for the time being, and they will talk about it after reading it. ”

......

Although many readers who have bought books are studying hard behind closed doors, revealing a little bit of information also makes the whole world who can't buy books vaguely guess that this time "The Justice of the Analects" is far weaker than Liu Qin's "Annotations to the Analects", and it must not be underestimated.

The New Youth Daily has a large group of die-hard fans, and these people, under the repeated reports of the newspaper on the "Analects", have reached an unprecedented level of curiosity and concern about this matter.

Soon the next day's newspaper came out, and in this issue of the newspaper, the famous reporters A Zhu and A Bi interviewed the three editors-in-chief, and only Qin Xianao, the wine-colored son, was interviewed.

"The Analects of Justice, which you co-edited with Tianzhu and Xiaowan, has been released, and I think all kinds of reviews will soon flood in, can you make another evaluation of this book before that? ”

"The real value of a book does not lie in how the author evaluates it, but in others and in the readership. I have already made some comments last time, although I have said it modestly, but I heard that it is still quite disgusting, thinking that I am a princess selling melons and boasting about myself, so this time it is better not to say it. It's all in the book. ”

"I flipped through this book, the content described in it is very rich and complicated, in my opinion, such a book with extremely rich content is not possible in a few years, you and Tianzhu and Xiaowan, the two editors-in-chief, really only took three months to do this?"

"As the saying goes, a quarter of an hour on stage, ten years off the stage, and only three months to complete a book, but the real effort is thirty years. Three hundred years, and then a thousand years......"

"Three hundred years, thousands of years?" What do you mean by that?"

"I think many people who have read the book understand that this book is widely cited, and all interpretations must be substantiated, and to what extent this has reached, I will give you a small number, the classics cited in my book. There are more than 370 of them, so this book is written about the results of our research. is also written about the predecessors, and the three of us dare not live alone. ”

"There are more than 370 kinds, this is terrible, why do you do this? If you write like Mr. Liu Qin and Mr. Yi Chuan, wouldn't it be better?"

"Mr. Yi Chuan and Mr. Liu Qin's Analects are indeed very good. But after reading it, I have a feeling that I am too conservative and more focused on educating others. What I want to do in this book is to seek truth from facts, and everything to speak with facts. Therefore, when you see my evidence, it is not arbitrary, and everything is taken out to prove it, but it is to annotate the scriptures, that is, to use the most direct and credible materials to annotate, such as using the words in the Analects to demonstrate the words in the Analects, so that the credibility is high......"

"It's really remarkable, but if there are too many references and too many commentaries, will the whole meaning of the text be shattered?"

"No, if you dig deeper into this book, you will find that this book is based on righteousness, and although it is based on the strengths of others, it is ......"

......

In this interview draft, although Qin Xianao did not directly say how good the books written by himself and the other two editors-in-chief were, from what he disclosed, such as 'this book cites more than 370 kinds of classics', 'What we do is not to stick to one family's opinion, but to seek truth from facts. ', 'Pay attention to the scriptures to annotate the scriptures', 'All commentaries must be based on evidence, righteousness and reasoning, and the two are not biased', 'scientific induction, correct fallacies'...... Wait, which sentence isn't boasting about his book?

Moreover, during the interview, Qin Xianao even revealed some details in the process of writing the book.

For example, before writing this book, I first wrote a long compilation, obtained hundreds of huge volumes, and then went to the refinement, gathered and compromised, and then got the current version.

For example, in the process of compiling, the three major editors-in-chief often turn over the books and cabinets for the sake of one word, tossing and turning, and arguing so much that they are red-faced......

For another example, in order to finalize the manuscript in March, the three editors-in-chief almost never sleeped, writing day and night, and everyone lost ten pounds in less than a month......

......

This report has undoubtedly ignited the curiosity of countless readers.

But......

Those who got the book did not say much about it, but silently delved into the Analects of Justice.

One day!

Two days!

......

Gradually, some people expressed their opinions on the "Analects of Justice", and these opinions were almost one-sided to say that the value of this "Analects of Justice" was by no means inferior to Liu Qin's "Annotations to the Analects", or even far higher than that one.

Liu Qin's version is even ashamed of Mr. Yi Chuan, claiming that he wants to spend a hundred years of hard work to lay out, forty or fifty years of carving, this one is actually ......

At first glance, many people have a feeling of dreaming, and then-

"Qin Xian is arrogant and overwhelms Liu Qin!

The new "Analects of Justice" is even more important than the "Annotations to the Analects". Why is this so, isn't it that even Mr. Yi Chuan admits that he can't write the "Annotations on the Analects", but now the three major editors-in-chief Tianzhu, Xiaowan, and Qin Xianao will ...... in three months."

......

This madness of remarks generally spreads in major cities, not only in the reading world, but also in ordinary people, and the people have a strange feeling, you must know that for decades, they have an impression. Mr. Yi Chuan, Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, etc. are the world's first-class Confucians.

And in the scriptures.

Mr. Ikawa is a well-deserved holder of the bull's ear.

But this time......

First of all, Liu Qin asked Mr. Yichuan to admit that he was not as good.

Then the editors-in-chief of the three major newspapers gave Liu Qin a resounding slap in the face.

Is it really that easy to learn scriptures? All along, Sima Xiangye, Wang Xiangye, Su Dongpo, Mr. Yi Chuan, and so on were just selling their fame? It's just that there were no newspapers before, and the news could not be transmitted, so they were allowed to ......

Newspapers covered the city, all kinds of readers. Even many ordinary people have a suspicion of all scholars, court dignitaries, the imperial examination system, and even various classic books.

......

Prime Minister Sima's Mansion in Bianliang City.

Sima Guang stepped into the study, and his eyes fell on Sima Kang, who was clenching his fists in front of the desk.

"Kang'er, do you have a catch?"

"Father, this book of "Analects of Justice" is really evil. Sima Kang shook his head and smiled bitterly, his eyes slightly sunken. It was full of blood, "I investigated them one by one, and I only found one place for a whole day and a night, but that place, after thinking about it, I found that there was nothing wrong at all." ”

"Can't you find a mistake?" Sima Guang frowned slightly.

Sima Kang's face was a little painful, of course he knew that such a book of "The Analects of Justice", a book that overpowered Liu Qin's "Annotations on the Analects" was coming. Especially through the back and forth hype of the newspaper, to Sima Guang. How much damage has been done to Cheng Yi's reputation to all the scholars who are now very famous. So the best way to do this is to find a few mistakes and omissions in the book and publish those mistakes to the public...... Use this point to destroy the value of the Analects of Justice.

"I'm sure I'll find it. Sima Kang muttered.

"You don't have to worry, you can't find the mistake alone. Sima Guang was silent.

"What does Father mean?"

"Yang Shi, Lu Dalin, You Xing, Xie Liangzuo, Luo Congyan, Qin Wanqing...... None of them could be found. Sima Guang was silent.

"Huh?" exclaimed Sima Kang. Sima Guang raised his hand at this time and put a letter in his hand on the table: "This is a letter written by Uncle Zheng." ”

"Mr. Yichuan's letter?" Sima Kang was slightly surprised, "He hasn't written to your father for a long time. ”

"He's a grandmaster who can live forever. The peach and plum are all over the world, the reputation is all over the world, and the life is nourishing, and I don't have much intersection, of course, I don't need to write. It's just that now it'......" Sima Guang felt a little emotional in his heart, Cheng Yi wrote a letter this time to ask Sima Guang for help, and the reason-

"Uncle Zheng can bear a copy of the "Analects of the Analects", but another such "Analects of Justice" ......" Thinking of the "Analects of Justice" Sima Guang trembled in his heart when he thought of the "Analects of Justice" that he had studied in the past few days.

"Crazy!"

"Cihang Jingzhai's group of women are really crazy to the extreme, Qin Xianao revealed in the interview that there are more than 370 kinds of books cited, I am afraid it is not a lie. ”

Among the scholars in the world, Sima Guang is very rigorous.

Sima Guang's compilation of "Zizhi Tongjian" is extremely rigorous and serious, requiring 'no word and no source', because it is too serious, the progress can not be fast, and the result is said by the villain to say cool words, saying that Sima Jun is really leading a large group of people, holding the court and not doing practical things, more than ten years, even a book can not be compiled, Sima Guang felt uncomfortable because of this, and accelerated the progress, so that the historical records of the five dynasties and ten countries after the "Zizhi Tongjian" are too complicated, and the handling is not in place, which is very lamentable in history.

But this one.

Sima Guang never thought that the annotation of a book, every sentence, and every word had reached a shocking level.

"Kang'er, Uncle Zheng said in the letter that he found something wrong on the day he read the book, and then instructed his disciples to find errors in the book, but so far he has only found a slightly far-fetched place, and it is difficult to find mistakes from it, and you don't have to be in a hurry, take your time, your body is important. Sima Guang said in a deep voice and walked out of the study.

"Go talk to the newspaper and I'll be interviewed by them this time. Sima Guang instructed the servant.

Soon-

Sima Xianggong reported again. ”

"Sima Xianggong has released his opinion on the Analects of Justice!"

......

In the new issue of the newspaper, Sima Guang was interviewed by the "New Youth" newspaper and talked about "The Analects of Justice", and this time the general content of his words was very similar to the last time Cheng Yi commented on the "Annotations to the Analects", and he first highly affirmed the achievements of "The Analects of Justice" and considered it an extremely rare and good book.

Moreover, it is believed that the "Analects of Justice" will not succeed overnight, and that the "Analects of Justice" is a more huge project than the "Annotations to the Analects", and the so-called three months of writing the book can only be said to be three months of finalization, not three months of actual writing. Sima Guang even said that "The Analects of Justice" is the credit accumulated by a huge team for many years.

It is asserted that the so-called compilation of the three editors-in-chief is nothing more than bluffing, so Cheng Yi's "Annotations on the Analects" written alone lost to Liu Qin and lost to the "Justice of the Analects" this time, which is nothing.

Regarding what Sima Guang said, the newspaper interviewed Qin Xianao, Tianzhu and Xiaowan, the three editors-in-chief, in the next issue, but all three refused to answer, but Duan Haifeng, who had disappeared from the newspaper for a long time and said that he would fight with the three editors-in-chief, spoke.
