In the west courtyard of Zhao Jin's house, Zhao Hao and Hai Rui debated for another whole day.
On this day, the two started talking about the Han Confucian theory of ¡®Tiandao¡¯ and ¡®Heaven¡¯s Will¡¯. The topic was much more in-depth and bold than yesterday.
Hai Rui believes that the emperor¡¯s rule of the country is dictated by heaven, that is, ¡®the king carries out the will of heaven¡¯. Therefore, if there is a wise king, the weather will be smooth, and the oceans and rivers will be clear; if there is a weak king, there will be floods, droughts, locusts, earthquakes, and solar eclipses.
However, Zhao Hao said categorically: "The laws of heaven are always there, and they will not survive because of Yao, nor will they perish because of Jie." ¡¯ The way of heaven is the coming and going of cold and summer, the rising and setting of the sun and the setting of the moon, the prosperity of spring and autumn, the ebb and flow of tides. It is the movement of nature. It is not a personal god. How can it reward merits and punish misfortunes in the human world? As the saying goes, "Those who make merits will make their own merits, and those who make troubles will bring troubles to themselves." This is the behavior of human beings themselves. It cannot be blamed on heaven, nor can it be blamed on earth! "
After a pause, Zhao Hao boldly revealed, "Han Confucianism personified the way of heaven just to cater to those in power and advocate the divine right of kings."
"But in the Spring and Autumn Annals, Confucius clearly recorded all celestial changes such as solar and lunar eclipses, and hinted or even stated that they were related to the virtues of human kings."
"Back to yesterday's topic. It was a statement used by Confucius to scare the princes, and then was fabricated by the shameless Han Confucianism and turned into a divine connection between gods and ghosts, as if there were gods in the sky watching over the world." Zhao Hao A few words made him dumbfounded and said:
""These people seem to allow Confucianism to dominate, but in fact they are traitors to Confucius. Don't forget that the Master is extremely cautious. He feels that God's will is unpredictable, but he doesn't know whether it has anything to do with the human world, so he chooses not to. Said, that is, 'The son does not speak strange powers and confuses the gods'! ¡¯¡±
"Confucius didn't even understand, so how dare you, a kid, to speak nonsense?" Hai Rui caught the loophole in Zhao Hao's words.
"Although I only know a little bit, I at least know a little more than everyone else in the world today." Zhao Hao smiled faintly, although he sounded very humble. But the implication is so crazy that he seems to know more than Confucius in this regard.
The two students taking notes couldn¡¯t help but nodded repeatedly, but Hai Rui laughed dumbly and said, "You are too arrogant!"
"There is nothing to be proud of." Zhao Hao said matter-of-factly: "Sage Kong's greatness lies in philosophy, and he was not good at natural science. What's more, the predecessors planted trees for future generations to enjoy the shade. The younger generations should stand on the shoulders of their predecessors and continue Search upwards. He has been dead for more than two thousand years. If he knew that future generations would still be cowering in his shadow and dare not take a step forward, the coffin boards would not be able to hold him down."
"Okay!" The two students couldn't help but exclaimed.
Hai Rui¡¯s nose was almost crooked with anger.
He wanted to say that Zhao Hao was talking nonsense, but the other party¡¯s arguments were rigorous and well-founded, making it impossible for him to refute, so he became even more angry
But it is naturally difficult for Hai Rui to change his granite head and accept Zhao Hao's theory, especially the theory that directly challenges social ethics such as the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Permanent Constitutions.
So Hai Rui fought back. He had a solid foundation in Neo-Confucianism and was extremely good at debating, especially the use of syllogisms. He often criticized Zhao Hao from unexpected angles to the point where he was almost at a loss for words.
Fortunately, Zhao Hao has four hundred years of Chinese and foreign sages as his backers, and he has a lot of weapons in his hands, as well as the dialectical system established by Hegel and Marx. Whenever Hai Rui breaks away from logic and wants to refute with sophistry, Zhao Hao will Discover and point out promptly.
Hai Rui was naturally dissatisfied and said that this was not sophistry, but at most it was just a 'white horse but not a horse'.
"A white horse is not a horse is sophistry!" Zhao Hao also got excited and explained the famous logical problem of 'a white horse is not a horse' to Hai Rui on the spot, and also gave him popular science about the connotation and denotation of the concept. , as well as the relationship between the general and the individual, commonality and individuality.
Finally, it is pointedly pointed out that this proposition is the result of subjective confusion and playing with concepts.
Hai Rui was speechless
As a result, in the first half of the day, the two masters exchanged tricks, the rabbit rose and the falcon fell, and they quoted from other sources and argued brilliantly. In the second half, it was Zhao Hao who seized on the fundamental weakness of idealistic philosophy and pursued Hai Rui fiercely.
When it got dark, Hai Rui was completely speechless.
But how could the Sea Fighter give up so easily?
He angrily said, "I will come back!"
After saying that, he refused Zhao Hao¡¯s offer to stay and went back angrily.
??~~
As soon as Hai Rui left, the two students clapped hard at Zhao Hao and said excitedly: "Master, we think you have won!"
"But Haigangfeng won't admit it" Zhao Hao leaned on the quilt as if he was exhausted, and said with some hindsight: "I think it was a mistake to argue with him. I shouldn't have messed with him from the beginning"
The students nodded empathetically, Mr. HaiHe has explosive fighting prowess and is stubborn in his opinions. Anyone who debates with him will be stripped of their skin
"So, I'm just asking for trouble." Zhao Hao struggled to sit up, picked up the teapot and filled a cup of throat tea made by Pang Hai and Honeysuckle, looked at his two apprentices and said, "Master Hai should go to work tomorrow. Bar?"
"There are three days of rest during the winter solstice, and there will be one more day tomorrow."
"It won't work, it won't work. If I keep arguing, I will die." Zhao Hao panicked after hearing this and said, "Why don't we just close the door tomorrow?"
"But with Mr. Yihai's temper, I'm afraid he might knock on the door himself." Wang Wuyang said.
"Yes, and he will keep knocking until we open the door." Hua Shuyang also agreed. After two days of listening, they both got to know Hai Rui's temper.
"Then I can hide out, right?" Zhao Hao whined.
??~~
The next morning, Hai Rui came again.
Hua Shuyang was waiting for him at the door. When he saw Hai Rui, he said politely, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hai, my master is out on business today."
"Oh?" Hai Rui couldn't help being disappointed and asked, "When will he come back?"
"It's impossible to tell. If it's fast, it could be one or two days. If it's slow, it could be five or six days." Hua Shuyang said vaguely.
"That's it" Hai Rui nodded sadly, "Then I'll go back first."
"I'm sorry for not sending you far away." Hua Shuyang breathed a sigh of relief.
""By the way, are you his student? "Hai Rui suddenly thought of something, stopped and turned back to stare at Hua Shuyang.
"Uh, yes" Hua Shuyang was shocked by the sight.
"Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I would like to chat with you." Hai Rui said with an expression of trying to do the next best thing:
"Your master's knowledge is too vast and complex, and his ideas are too complex. I am a bit older and can't keep up. Our level should be about the same"
"Oh" Hua Shuyang was flattered and pointed at Wang Wuyang beside him and said: "This is my senior brother. He has spent the longest time with the master and has learned the most. Hai Gong should talk to him."
"While you are chatting, I still have to wash Master's nose"
Then he turned around and ran away, ignoring Wang Wuyang's murderous gaze.
But he was grabbed by his senior brother, and then he said to Hai Rui: "Hai Gong, don't look at my junior brother because he is young, he knows a lot more than me"
"No, he knows better."
¡°He is eloquent.¡±
"He can also play the flute"
The two of them were chirping and apologizing to each other, which made Hai Rui dizzy. He simply grabbed Wang Wuyang with one hand and Hua Shuyang with the other and said:
"Then let's talk together"
After saying that, Hai Rui pulled them towards his home.
"Help, I still have to do laundry"
"You deserve it!"
