Chapter 441: On Etiquette

"Oh?" Qiu Yan stopped, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the person blocking the way, "I don't know what kind of etiquette Your Excellency said, please ask me." ”

When these words came out, a chill inexplicably rose in the heart of the person opposite, he swallowed a mouthful, forced his mind, and then said: "If you want to talk to my senior brother, you should first report your name and teacher." ”

"Huh?" Qiu Yan was slightly stunned.

At this time, Gao Song turned around, glanced at Qiu Yan, smiled faintly, and then waved his hand at the person who blocked the way and said, "This time I came out to participate in the evaluation, outsiders don't know etiquette, so I should be educated." ”

"Senior brother is right. The man nodded and took a step back.

Then Gao Song took a step forward, looked at Qiu Yan and said, "This brother, looking at your appearance, you are coming straight to Gao, I don't know what you are doing?" When he spoke, there was a kind of indifference, which seemed to be approachable, and there was a kind of high-minded taste.

Qiu Yan didn't like it in his heart, and couldn't help frowning, but he came here, and finally suppressed his unhappiness, and said: "I heard that Chongli Academy has a unique insight into Sun Shengdao, so I came to ask for advice. ”

"So I'm here to ask for advice," Takamatsu nodded, "If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask, but before that, I'll tell you something." ”

"Teach me the truth?" Qiu Yan's eyes flashed a little essence, it was just such a while, he was stopped first, and then listened to this Gao Song's words, and captured a little bit of his person's characteristics from it, knowing that the person in front of him was suspected of pretending.

"My Chongli Academy has always worshiped rites, since you want to ask Sun Sheng to learn, you should know all the rites, start with the courtesy, become a text, and end up with a happy school. Every move can be attributed to it, listening to your tone, you should have learned Sun Sheng's method. But it's not enough to know Sun Sheng's knowledge, when you practice it, you say that you want to ask me for advice, but you don't show enough courtesy, and you can't show sincerity. ”

"Beginning with the text", this sentence comes from Sun Sheng's "Treatise on Etiquette", which refers to the process of the formation of etiquette, which was manifested from the simple and negligent places at the beginning, and then had a clear form. It was formed, and finally it was popularized according to your wishes.

But here, it was used by Gao Song to attack Qiu Yan, saying that he did not pay attention to etiquette.

After finishing speaking, Gao Song glanced at Qiu Yan again and said with a smile: "Can you remember? ”

Several Confucian scholars around him cheered at the time, feeling that Gao Song was worthy of being a senior disciple of Chongli Academy, reflecting a strict attitude towards self-discipline. Advocate that every move should be in accordance with etiquette.

Qiu Yan felt inexplicable, he just came over to discuss knowledge with this Gao Song. The two had never met before, so as soon as Gao Song opened his mouth, he was educating the younger generations, and his words were full of accusations against Qiu Yan.

"I don't know how this Takamatsu reads. I just asked for advice, but he was like a cat with its tail stepped on, which was really inexplicable. ”

But he didn't know. As the leader of the generation of Chongli Academy, and located in a place like the Eastern Capital, Gao Song inevitably has to contact and debate with other academies on weekdays, especially for such a literary event, and he must not relax his vigilance at any time, otherwise, if he is not careful, he may become a flaw and be taken out by people from other academies and make a big fuss.

In the past, I don't know how many outstanding people managed to establish a little reputation, but because of the polemics and intrigues between the colleges, they were finally ruined.

And this Wenxuan evaluation, for several major academies in the Eastern Capital, is not only an opportunity to suppress other academies, but also a crisis, if you are not careful, you may be suppressed by other academies and lose your reputation.

This Gao Song and the others, all the way, before they entered the Wenxuan Building, they ran into a few people from other academies, and there were two polemics, it was really a sword of words, the killing machine lurked inadvertently, and if they were not careful, they were about to land, so after two battles, whether it was him or a few Confucian students on the side, they had already tightened their heartstrings.

As a result, I entered the Wenxuan Building, and after walking a few steps, I ran into Qiu Yan coming over, as I said earlier, few people who really want to ask for advice will be like Qiu Yan, who will ask for advice at the literary event, which one dares to take it lightly?

Therefore, the people of Chongli Academy immediately regarded Qiu Yan as a person with ill intentions, and it was a beating indiscriminately.

In this way, it made Qiu Yan unhappy, although he did not want to rely on the Wenhui to spread his reputation, but he did not intend to become a stepping stone for others.

"Chongli Academy takes the name of etiquette and also learns Sun Sheng's learning, but now it seems that it is putting the cart before the horse. ”

Qiu Yan shook his head and looked directly at Gao Song: "Sun Sheng once said that people are born with desires, and they are born with desires, and they are divided by controlling etiquette and righteousness, raising people's desires and giving people what they want. The rite book is not an empty form, but a means of mediating resources, but in your mouth, it seems to have become the truth, and there can be no moment of violation, this is like inventing a hoe, not to plough the land, but to provide it, if Chongli Academy only has this kind of knowledge, it will be too disappointing for Qiu. ”

Because of people's desires, there are disputes, desires are difficult to fill, and the world is difficult to appease, so there must be order to restrain people's hearts, control desires, supply and demand, so that humanity will not get out of control and dry up, this is the "etiquette" in Qiu Yan's heart.

It's a norm, a means, not an end.

This is also the conclusion of his study of Sun Sheng's works and the realization of the spirit of the sage, but in the mouth of everyone in Chongli Academy, it has become a form used to confirm "sincerity".

After saying this, Qiu Yan arched his hand towards Gao Song, turned around and left, and didn't say a word.

"This man ......"

The faces of the disciples of Chongli Academy changed sharply, but Gao Song, who was the leader, just shook his head and said with a smile: "He is pretending to be amazing, I don't know how many people I have seen, and it is not surprising that he wants to become famous by virtue of his side door." ”

He turned his head and asked the people beside him, "Which academy is this person from?

Those who heard it shook their heads.

Gao Song then said again: "That's it, it seems that this person is not qualified to worship in any academy, so he doesn't know etiquette, although what he said is reasonable, but how can he sweep the world if he doesn't sweep a house? I can't even control my own behavior, how can I understand more profound truths? Looking at his words and deeds, he is a fanatic, and he wants to seize the opportunity of Wenxuan's evaluation and compete for it, if we deal with him, we will fall for his scheme." ”

"I see, the senior brother has seen it thoroughly. After thinking about it carefully, several people felt that what Gao Song said was reasonable, but after all, there was still a little unhappiness in their hearts, and they couldn't help but cast a bad look at Qiu Yan.

Even that Gao Song, after saying these words, looked like nothing on the surface, but in fact, he glanced at Qiu Yan deeply.

In any case, he must maintain his momentum and demeanor, and not fall behind in academics, besides, he asks himself not to lose to the younger generation of Chinese, even if Qiu Yan has a certain background, he is not afraid.

"Brother Qiu, how is it? This person from Chongli Academy is not easy to deal with, right?" Seeing Qiu Yan coming back, Xu Miao greeted him.

Cao Jin also walked over and said: "Cao Mou has good hearing since he was a child, and he can hear the teacher's lecture from afar, so I can't hide it, then Gao Songzheng said Brother Qiu, you are pretending to be amazing." Immediately after, he repeated Takamatsu's words.

Qiu Yan smiled dumbly: "This Gao Song is to use the topic to play, not to say that he is too harsh on people, but to say that I have no self-control, I come to study for learning, first to correct myself, and then teach others, Gao Song himself is not yet able to behave politely, I asked him for advice, he does not treat each other politely, but condescending reprimand, and now he requires others to conform to the ancient rules in every word and deed, this is a person who is lenient and strict." ”

Cao Jin was thoughtful, but Zuihou said: "What Brother Qiu said is reasonable, and it is thought-provoking, but it is best not to publicize it." ”

"Oh?" Qiu Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and understood.

In fact, the "rites" of Confucianism, under the advocacy of the Holy Prophet and Yasheng, are mostly in the category of moral self-discipline and moral emotion, which reflects a person's cultivation, which is also the reason why Fang Cai Gao Song criticized Qiu Yan's words and deeds, and others agreed.

However, Sun Shengzhi's theory went beyond this category and evolved into external order and rigid laws, and his students and disciples used this as a frame to improve the Legalist, but this is also a point that Sun Sheng was criticized for.

Qiu Yan was thinking about it, but someone by the door suddenly called his name-

"Qiu Yan! you're really here......

The voice was crisp, Qiu Yan didn't need to look back, he guessed who the speaker was, and sure enough, it didn't take long for Han Weier, who was dressed in men's clothes, to come over.

Along with it, there are also a series of eyes with different meanings.

At this moment, Qiu Yan suddenly became the focus of attention, but not because of Han Weier's person, but because of her shout, Qiu Yan's identity was exposed.

"Qiu Yan, could it be that the scholar who defeated Scholar He?"

"I heard that this person has attracted the attention of Mr. Xiao Chen, and he wants to be accepted as the successor of the mantle......"

"It's so powerful, and it's still here?"

"He Shuchang is his defeated general, but he has entered Shilin, and this person is still outside, which is a little strange......"

"This Qiu Yan has some fame, if he can be defeated, he can immediately replace his reputation, become famous in the Eastern Capital, and come from afar in vain. ”

......

The voices began to discuss, and there was a sense of chaos in the building, and the scholars were ready to move.

Looking at this situation, Qiu Yan shook his head helplessly, when he asked for advice just now, he deliberately did not let the name spread, not because he was afraid of things, but because he saved trouble, he didn't expect Han Wei'er to shout unintentionally, but things changed.

"Unintentionally?"

With a move in his heart, Qiu Yan's gaze swept over Han Weier's face, and found that this young lady of the family who was dressed as a man was having an excited expression, her eyebrows and eyes were full of expectation, and her body revealed the emotion of fearing that the world would not be chaotic.
