Liu Yishen's re-annotation of "The Analects" is a very arrogant thing in everyone's eyes. Even if he is a gentleman of Donglin and a great scholar in the world, this will not change people's doubts about him at all!
At that moment, someone stood up and said: "Liu Ge said that there are inconsistencies in the Analects of Confucius. I wonder where the inconsistency is?"
Liu Yishen stood up and looked around. It turned out that the person asking the question was Chu Zhichun from the Imperial College.
Liu Yishui still knew about this "unlucky man", because although this person was aloof in appearance, his talents and learning were extremely good. He was just a bit of a scholastic and accepted death, so he was always placed in the Imperial College!
For this scholar-like figure, Liu Yishui thought it was a good thing that he could ask questions, because Chu Zhichun's questions were purely out of knowledge and nothing else. If it were someone else, he wouldn't know what the purpose was!
Liu Yishen smiled slightly and said: "The most obvious inconsistency in the current annotations of The Analects is the line 'There is no distinction between education and distinction.' It cannot be understood.' Don't you think that since the sage said that everyone can be taught, but also said that the common people cannot be taught, there is a huge contradiction between the two?"
Chu Zhichun frowned, thought for a long time, and finally shook his head. Everyone else was also thinking hard, trying to find evidence that the two were not inconsistent, but the facts were in front of them. These two sentences were too inconsistent. It¡¯s a contradiction and there¡¯s no way it can be reconciled!
In the end, Chu Zhichun was much more open-minded. After thinking for a long time but couldn't think of anything, he straightened his clothes and respectfully asked, "I wonder what your comment is, sir?"
When Liu Yishui saw Chu Zhichun asking this question, he finally felt relieved. In fact, he was afraid that someone could come up with evidence that these two sentences were not inconsistent!
The reason why Liu Yishen is so worried is because although the literary style of the Ming Dynasty was at its peak, it was still an era of paper products. No matter how powerful a person is, he cannot read all the books. Who knows who has read the orphaned copies, incomplete copies, etc. , messed up his situation!
But now that Chu Zhichun has surrendered, and others have no objections, it means that at least the people in Wenhua Hall today cannot explain why the words of Saint Kong are inconsistent. Since this is the case, it will be easier to handle!
Liu Yishen felt relaxed and his spirit was naturally lifted a lot. He said in an extremely coquettish manner: "Do you think there is something wrong with the words of Sage Kong?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone broke out in a cold sweat. The core of Confucianism is the words of sages. If Confucius was wrong, then what is Confucianism?
Chu Zhichun blushed even more and said: "How can the words of a saint be wrong?"
Liu Yishen smiled calmly and said: "The words of the sage are of course correct, so these inconsistencies are the mistakes of later generations' annotations!"
??Everyone was relieved when they heard this. Others love mistakes, as long as what Saint Kong said is correct!
Chu Zhichun bowed again: "Sir, please clear up my doubts!"
Liu Yishen said solemnly: "The sage said that there is no distinction between teachings, and he also practices it personally. The three thousand disciples under his disciples are also all kinds and eclectic. But why does the Analects of Confucius say, 'The people can follow it, but they cannot know it.' What about the words? According to my opinion, this sentence is not wrongly said by the sage, but by later generations. The sentence should be: 'If the people can do it, let them do it. If it doesn't do it, let them know it.' In this way, the sage The words are consistent!"
Everyone suddenly showed a look of astonishment, and Chu Zhichun was even more enlightened. He put his hands on his hands and laughed and said: "Wonderful! Wonderful! How wonderful! The gentleman has exposed the fallacies of the ages. He is really a role model for our generation of Confucian scholars. Please accept it as a disciple." Pay homage!"
As he said that, Chu Zhichun knelt down and kowtowed.
Liu Yishen quickly helped Chu Zhichun up and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, you must not lose your courtesy before you!"
Chu Zhichun hurriedly saluted the superior Zhu Youxiao and said: "I am so surprised that I have disturbed you. Long live my punishment!"
Zhu Youxiao waved his hands magnanimously and said: "The Master said: If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening! Chu Aiqing was happy when he heard the Tao. What crime is there?"
Chu Zhichun saluted again: "Thank you for your grace!"
Zhu Youxiao nodded, looked at Liu Yishen in a double-acted manner and asked: "Mr. Liu Ge, I was very touched by what you just said, and I have something unclear. I wonder if Mr. Liu Ge can help me clear up my doubts?"
Liu Yishen naturally knew what Zhu Youxiao wanted to ask, and the answer was already prepared.
At this time, when Zhu Youxiao asked, he calmly bowed and said: "Excuse me, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Youxiao stood up and walked a few steps in front of the Long Bookcase as if in deep thought. Then he heard: "Mr. Liu Ge, since the sage's teachings are indistinguishableBut why should the four peoples of the world be divided into high and low? "
Liu Yishen said calmly: "Your Majesty, in the eyes of saints, people in the world are people in the world. There is no such thing as high or low. It's just that in the eyes of ordinary people like us, the talents in the world are distinguished because of their good looks, wealth and status. There is no distinction between high and low, and even more because there are villains who degrade, debase, and enslave people for their own selfish interests!"
Zhu Youxiao asked thoughtfully: "In that case, in the eyes of a saint, am I, the emperor, the same as a beggar on the street?"
Hiss¡ª¡ª
Because of Zhu Youxiao's words, there was a neat gasp in the Wenhua Hall. Even Fang Congzhe was so shocked that he almost pulled off his beard. Some people even looked at Liu Yishen and their eyes changed. The meaning was obvious. It¡¯s to see how unlucky Mr. Liu Ge is!
Liu Yishen, however, was calm and collected, bowed and said: "Yes!"
"Mr. Liu Ge, don't be presumptuous!" Yang Lian was so frightened that he quickly stopped him. He really didn't know what medicine Liu Yishen had taken wrong, and he was so anxious that the sweat on his forehead started to fall!
Zhu Youxiao looked at Liu Yishen with a playful look on his face and said, "If this is the case, then why should I be the king?"
Liu Yishen bowed and said: "Your Majesty regards virtue as your king!"
Zhu Youxiao asked sharply: "Where does virtue come from?"
Liu Yishen said calmly and calmly: "I, Emperor Taizu Gao, expelled the Tartars and restored China to us. This is the most righteous emperor among all the emperors in history. Therefore, your Majesty's virtue comes from Emperor Taizu Gao!"
Zhu Youxiao asked again: "This is the virtue hidden by my ancestors. I wonder what virtue I have? Can I be worthy of the master of the world?"
Liu Yishen said loudly: "Your Majesty's virtue lies in benevolence. Since your Majesty came to the throne, you have built a furnace of kindness to prevent thousands of people from suffering from the cold. You have transferred grain from the south to the north, and used work instead of relief, and you have made it possible for thousands of people to have food and clothing. With just these two things, your Majesty's kindness will benefit the world. Your Majesty is the Lord of the Ming Dynasty and the Lord of the world. It is the way of heaven. Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
In the end, Liu Yishen shouted and knelt down on the ground. The other civil servants who dared to stand all knelt down on the ground. For a while, the Wenhua Hall Zhongshan shouted long live, the sound was like thunder!
Zhu Youxiao stood in front of the ministers, feeling quite satisfied for a moment. He arranged this sutra banquet today, firstly, to introduce Liu Yishen's popular science, and secondly, to use Liu Yishen's words to polish the His misdeeds among civil servants!
Even if the resentment in the hearts of civil servants cannot be eliminated, with Liu Yishen¡¯s words today, anyone who wants to shake Zhu Youxiao¡¯s status morally, or want to blacken him in the history books, must think carefully!
Seeing that he and Liu Yishen performed a good double recital, Zhu Youxiao was also very satisfied. He raised his hands and said loudly: "I am still young, so I will inevitably do things improperly. I have to ask you." Thank you for your advice, I hope to work together with you to create a prosperous Ming Dynasty and a glorious nation!"
Although all the ministers are slandering in their hearts: "Your methods are even worse than those of your ancestors. Who dares to advise you?"
But on the surface, a group of ministers still knelt on the ground and shouted: "We are willing to assist Your Majesty and die exhausted!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
