Chapter Seventy-Eight: Picking a Bone in an Egg
I saw that the text began to be analyzed one by one.
"How did the person who made the argument in the sentence 'the beginning ......of his political career' get it?......?
Confucius said: The gentleman is in righteousness, and the villain is in profit...... I didn't think it was ......."
"The husband invades the official, and the government is also disorderly. Loan interest money, and disdainful things...... If the label is sold and the king is counterattacked, it is no wonder that the "Reply to Sima's Advice" can sweep away a large number of paragraphs with only one or two words, and the absurdity here is so ...... that it is exhausted."
......
Much is said, much is wrong.
Wang Anshi's "Answer to Sima's Advice" is less than 400 words, and he can still find out the mistakes and omissions. Sima Guang's "Book with Wang Jiefu" has more than 3,900 words.
Coupled with the limitations of the times, the literati in ancient times did not do scholarship and write arguments, which was not like modern times, especially in later China, which emphasized 'no investigation, no right to speak', and paid attention to rigorous argumentation and logic, as well as scientific experimental verification...... Various means to make every argument data-based.
Just like Sima Guang's first argument.
"Today, Jiefu has been in politics for the first year, and the scholars and doctors in the imperial court and those who come from all over the world are all criticizing Jiefu, such as a mouthful, to the pawns of the small officials of Lu Yan and Yanmin, and they also whisper and complain, and everyone blames Jiefu......
This probably means that it has only been a year since you Wang Anshi changed the law, and all the scholars, court people, and people from all over the world are saying that you are not right to change the law, even if the folk peddlers, pawns, officials, and ordinary people all complain in private, and they all think that it is your Wang Anshi's fault.
In modern times, it is strange that these words are seen by strict people, and they are not beaten to the point of being decent.
In modern times, even people who don't understand know that in order to get a conclusion like this, they must conduct public opinion polls, and then they can come up with real data, how many people have been surveyed, and what occupations they have. Identity, Wealth, Ethnicity...... The methodology of the survey, what percentage of people think, and what percentage of people think...... A series of detailed data.
But in this era, no one would think that there was anything wrong with Sima Guang saying this...... But the more you study the "Tool Theory" thoroughly. The more you understand it, the more you feel that this is wrong.
If there is any supporting evidence, it is nothing more than Confucius said, the villain is Yu Li, Mr. Kong looks down on this kind of person, some people grow crops, Confucius despises them, you Wang Anshi actually talks about the benefits of businessmen. This is very wrong...... Then Lao Tzu said, 'The world's artifact, you can't do it...... 'It's not right for you to do that, how did Mencius say, 'For the people's parents, so that the people are discouraged...... 'You Wang Anshi is disobeying here again.'
The style of writing like "The Book with Wang Jiefu", such a self-determined conclusion, teaching people in the tone of a sage, placed in classical Chinese, placed in the era at that time, is undoubtedly radiant in literature.
But to get modern.
A truly non-literary dissertation. To pass, you must at least reach the appearance of Chairman Mao's "Report on the Investigation of the Peasant Movement".
And this article is obviously the author desperately ignoring Sima Guang's reputation for authority, as long as he can find a loophole, he will be a dead critic. Criticize ......
In modern times, people may nod their heads after seeing it.
It's a fact after all.
But in this era, according to your criticism...... Do you find a qualified one to try?
The more Sima Guang looked at his breathing, the heavier he became, and his head was buzzing.
He Sima Guang's "Book with Wang Jiefu" may not have been anything when it was written more than ten years ago during the Xining period, but as time goes by, the good or bad of the law change has become more and more obvious, and many of the suggestions in it are Wang Anshi. More and more proof are true, it is a wise saying.
But in this articleβ
"Vertical, it's impossible!"
"It's complete nonsense, if it's written like that, what will it become? Since ancient times, sages have written articles like this, but I can't write like this?"
"Absurd, absurd......"
......
Sima Guang looked at it for a while, squinted slightly, took a long breath, continued to look, and after a while, squinted again......
The old servant on the side couldn't help frowning.
"Xiangye read the newspaper today, how to ......" Sima Guang has always been a gentle gentleman, the so-called three-year-old to see the old, Sima Guang is only six years old, when someone fell into the water and fell into the tank, the other friends were panicked, running to call adults, only Sima Guang can calm down, think about countermeasures, and then find the most suitable way to smash the cylinder to save people, Sima Guang has been calm and old since he was a child, and when he grew up, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his color, but this time it was ......
The old servant sighed in his heart.
Soon, Sima Guang's complexion began to slowly return to normal.
"I'm old, I can't hold my breath, this article seems to be reasonable everywhere, I really reason with him, I really can't say it, but ...... According to his rules, which article in the world is not wrong about the truth?"
"I, Sima Guang, am really, actually ...... There was a nameless fire. β
"Qin Xianao is just a junior, he wrote like this, it is ridiculous, such a ridiculous article, I am angry with him, and I lost my identity for no reason. β
Sima Guang looked down again, his face had returned to calm and natural, and after reading the report for a while, he raised his head slightly.
"Xiangye, did you say something bad about you in this article?" the old servant asked.
Sima Guang smiled slightly.
"In their opinion, they are indeed saying bad things about me Sima Guang, and of course they are also saying bad things about Wang Jiefu, but ......" Sima Guang raised his eyebrows and his face was bright, "In my opinion, this is Qin Xianao and others exposing their shortcomings and exposing their shortcomings." β
"Oh?" the old servant glared.
"Didn't the master always say that Qin Xianao was very smart......?
"No matter how smart a person is, there are times when they are confused. Sima Guang smiled faintly and turned to walk towards the study.
"Lu Gongshu once said, 'If you are not good at adding to yourself, you will accept it directly', if the criticism of others is correct, how can I, Sima Guang, not accept it. β
"But this Qin Xianao is obviously a bone in the egg!" Sima Guang sighed softly, he still had great expectations for the Qin Dynasty, but this time......
"Ruyue, she seems to be by Qin Xianao's side, Qin Xianao made such an obvious mistake, why didn't she stop it? Could it be that there is another inside story about the publication of the article this time?"
......
The Banshan Courtyard where Wang Anshi of Jiangning lives in seclusion.
Tea is boiling indoors.
A monk was drinking tea, but his eyes fell on Wang Anshi opposite, who was reading a newspaper that had just been baked.
"That Qin Xianao is really bold. Sima Junshi and Wang Jiefu were both criticized as incomplete. Zen Master Juehai's eyes fell on Wang Anshi's face in confusion, Wang Anshi has been reading the newspaper for a long time, and his face was extremely wonderful at first, but now he is extremely calm, this calm has lasted for a long time, so long that he can read that article twice.
At this time, Wang Anshi put down the newspaper.
"How?" said Zen Master Juehai.
Wang Anshi sighed lightly: "Okay." The newspaper article is excellently written, very good. β
Zen Master Juehai was stunned.
"Jiefu, you can't be talking back, are you?"
"No, I really think it's good. Wang Anshi's eyes were extremely calm, "Although I thought at first that Qin Xianao was taking advantage of the reputation of me and Sima Junshi to ascend to the throne, and regarded us as a stepping stone to his fame and a shortcut to the south, but I thought about his article repeatedly, sorted it out, and found that there was not a single mistake in writing it seriously." All right. β
"Uh......"
"Then why are you so calm?"
"Why aren't you calm?" Wang Anshi looked at Zen Master Juehai suspiciously.
"He's right, you, Wang Jiefu, are wrong, is Jiefu really to the point where everything doesn't linger?" said Zen Master Juehai strangely.
"Nothing lingers?" Wang Anshi sighed slightly, took a sip of tea, "You Juehai Master is still possible in this realm, but I, Wang Jiefu, am afraid that I will not be able to reach it for the rest of my life, and the reason why I am indifferent is that although I think everything he said is right in this article." But I wasn't wrong, and neither was the letter Sima Junshi wrote. β
"Oh?" Zen Master Juehai raised his eyebrows slightly. "Jiefu can't be playing meditation with me, right?"
Wang Anshi took another sip of tea before putting down the teacup, pointing to the newspaper and saying: "This is written for debate and speech, and its purpose is nothing more than 'words must be well-founded, arguments must be reasonable, and simple experience must not be used to speak in vain'." grasped the word reasonable to the extreme, and it is to get to the bottom of everything with talent, and not to stop until the end. No one can say that there is something wrong with this, so I say that this article is correct. That's right, I do have some admiration for Qin Xian's proud son. β
However, admiring his spirit, if I am the people of the Great Song Dynasty, everyone is like this, then my Wang Anshi's change of law has already been successful, and the Great Song Dynasty is no longer this Great Song Dynasty, although Qin Xianao's "Travels to the Immortal Country" is ridiculous, but it may not work in that direction. β
"It's just that the people of Li need to do things like Qin Xianao advocated, but we are different. β
"Sima Junshi and I are both important members of the imperial court, national policy, few words and many things, often one thing, only one or two words can be summarized in the mouth, and it can be investigated in detail, endlessly. Therefore, to do big things and take the lead, you need to grasp the big picture. Sima Jun and I wrote this letter in the same way, the big thing can be obtained, the small part does not need to be studied in detail, if you really do what this article writes, just these four letters, you can make people unable to get out, think about it, the appearance of a country, for a letter, it will take months of poor work, how terrible is this?"
"Therefore, it is right for me to write such a letter with Sima Junshi, these four letters will be famous through the ages. And what this article says is also right, it's just that in the court and in the opposition, the appearance of a country is different from the perspective of the small people in cloth, I believe this Sima Junshi can also see. β
Zen Master Juehai's eyes sparkled.
"Lord Wang, you have changed. β
"The lesson of changing the law is especially in front of us, how can it not be changed. I, Wang Anshi, changed the law back then, but the mistake was too detailed. Sima Jun really didn't say in that letter, 'Guan Jiefu's intention is to fight the people of the world and fight with one of them', saying that I want to fight the world with the strength of one person. β
Wang Anshi remembered a book in his mind.
It was sent by Su Shi a few years ago, and Gao Tianlai copied the book of the Qin Dynasty with the team.
"The real superior, just like Qin Xianao wrote an article by the West Lake, the first thing to do is to 'build a team, set a strategy, and lead a team', this is in the past, although I Wang Anshi does not think it is wrong, but I will not pay attention to it, now it seems that the words of sincerity and reason, if I Wang Anshi was ...... back then" Wang Anshi sighed a little in his eyes.
How magnificent it is to duel the world with the power of one person, but the result is ......
Juehai Zen Master is also very emotional, he and Wang Anshi have always been friends, but Wang Anshi entered the dynasty as a phase, Juehai Zen Master felt that Wang Anshi had changed a person, so he broke off the relationship and avoided Wang Anshi, until Wang Anshi abdicated and lived in seclusion in this Jiangning Zhongshan, Juehai Zen Master found that Wang Anshi had changed again, and then continued to communicate.
"Lord Wang, although you and I can see through the mystery in this article, it is ...... to Xiaomin and the world," said Zen Master Juehai.
Wang Anshi couldn't help frowning.
Although Sima Guang and Wang Anshi think that the article is reasonable, they don't agree with it, but they themselves can disagree, what about readers all over the world and ordinary citizens?
In a trance, Wang Anshi seemed to feel the intention of the Qin Dynasty, but after thinking about it carefully, it was a little vague. (To be continued......)
