"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
At some point, Sima Yan had squeezed out Zhang Hua, who was sitting next to Cao Mao, and sat next to Cao Mao cunningly, looking at the scene in front of him curiously.
Cao Mao explained in a low voice: "Let me put it this way, the prince's previous explanation is similar to the prince's explanation of the Taixuan Jing. It is somewhat similar to your grandfather's explanation."
Sima Yan suddenly realized, "Oh, I took a few glances at it. When I was first enlightened, the teacher asked me to write articles, and I often read a few of Zhongfu's articles."
The two of them were whispering here, but Wang Su had already walked in front of Wang Xiang.
"How dare you do such a thing and dare not admit it?!"
"My lord, don't be so humiliated. Have all the people who govern Taixuan in the world stolen your knowledge?!"
"Tai Xuan is from your family?!"
"Aren't others allowed to study it?!"
Wang Xiang looked at the celebrities around him. He was better than Wang Su in terms of mobilizing emotions, including acting. Sure enough, when he spoke like this, many people nodded.
Wang Su was furious, "What research do you have on Taixuan?"
"Okay, okay, come on, take out the article you annotated and show it to the world!"
"I can take the annotations I have done over the years from home at any time, and we can confront each other to see if they have been stolen!"
There was no trace of fear on Wang Xiang's face, and he said seriously: "Your Majesty, the content of my annotations is in my mansion and can be retrieved at any time."
"I usually respect you a lot and have never been rude to you, Tongzhi Taixuan. Naturally, I have read your articles. However, the prince's words today really disappointed me!"
"Is it possible that only one person in this world is allowed to study Taixuan? Everyone studies the same classics and understands the same principles. Isn't this a strange thing?"
"According to what the prince said, all those who govern Taixuan in this world have stolen your knowledge!"
"This Taixuan was not written by Yang Ziyun, but by your prince Yong!"
Cao Mao sat next to Sima Yan and watched with great interest.
As expected of Wang Xiang, at a time like this, when he was completely unreasonable and about to collapse at any time, he was still so determined, and his momentum was not weaker than that of his opponent. If he hadn't known the reason, he would have I wonder if he really plagiarized it.
From Wang Xiang, Cao Mao learned a lot.
The most important of these is this kind of calmness and persistence in the face of emergencies.
No matter how critical the situation is, Wang Xiang can always grit his teeth and persevere to the end, giving people the feeling that he is very reasonable.
Don't bow your head no matter what.
If it was a stupid guy who didn't know the inside story, he would definitely be deceived by him.
"Your Majesty, I don't think he looked at my grandpa. He doesn't feel guilty at all. He dares to say that he wants to confront grandpa. It's probably a coincidence."
Sima Yan said.
Cao Mao knew the inside story, but he was so stubborn. Why did he say that the explanatory article was in the house? You have a bullshit annotation. Among many classics, the most difficult is the Taixuan Jing. If you can annotate the Taixuan Jing, do you still need to use Wang Su’s stuff?
This guy has nothing at all, he just grits his teeth and holds on.
Wang Su looked at such a shameless guy in front of him and shouted again: "Okay, then send someone to get it now!"
"good."
Wang Xiang still didn't back down.
Cao Mao was a little suspicious. Could this old man really have an annotated book? impossible?
Wang Su said again: "I want to have a good debate with you on the classics!"
Wang Xiang sneered, "I'm not good at debating. Studying classics is to increase your own knowledge, not to argue with others. If you want to argue, then you will win and I will admit defeat."
"But what does this mean?!"
"Is it because you have better attainments in Confucian classics that you don't allow me to study Taixuan?!"
"Could it be that your attainments in classics are higher and those who are not as good as you are stealing your knowledge?!"
"Zi Yong, for the sake of your father, I didn't argue with you and gave in many times. I didn't expect that you bullied me so much that you dared to humiliate me like this! If you don't give me an explanation today, I will never I won’t spare you!!”
Cao Mao quickly wiped his eyes. Why did he feel that his teacher suddenly became a victim?
Perhaps it was because Wang Xiang's acting skills were excellent enough, or perhaps because Wang Su's return touched the interests of some important ministers. At this moment, everyone in the audience actually stood on Wang Xiang's side.
Xunyi stepped forward to persuade him and said: "My lord, this classic matter has many different opinions. How can it be said to be stolen? Besides, your Majesty is hosting a banquet today. Isn't it right for you to come here to talk about this matter? Is it inappropriate?"
"We can discuss this matter later, but we can't ruin His Majesty's banquet."
"Besides, the relationship between your two families has always been very good, so we can't let it break the harmony. Just apologize to the prince and talk about it later."
Xun Yi looked like he was thinking about Wang Su, but in fact, his words were accusing Wang Su and being very partial to Wang Xiang.
Cao Mao was not anxious at all and sat happily in the upper position.
Wang Su's reputation and qualifications are very deep. When he returns to the temple, he can defeat many ministers below Zheng Chong. Who among the important ministers like Xun Yi is not worried? There is no age limit for Sangong, and the old man Wang Su has always been in good health.
None of them wanted Wang Su to come back to eat meat, and it was absolutely impossible to speak on his side at this moment.
And Wang Xiang is also very capable of mobilizing people's emotions.
As for the final result, Cao Mao didn't care at all.
Cao Mao wanted Wang Xiang to take the lead for him and dismantle the power of interpretation in the hands of the aristocratic family, but this matter would not be solved with a case of theft of knowledge.
If we want to truly solve it, we need to guide the social atmosphere so that scholars dare to speak and challenge authority, break the constraints of etiquette and law, and let everyone speak freely. This problem can be easily solved.
Cao Mao likes to see these people fighting among themselves.
When they fight, they have no intention of holding them back.
When Lu Qin comes back to serve as the chief minister, he can directly adjust the treatment of the Chinese army, then gradually take back military power in various places, and then extend the treatment to the whole world.
When the armies across the country begin to support you, the ministers are nothing but fair, and they will let you enjoy the treatment of the wealthy clans of the former Han Dynasty.
Wang Su was almost furious at this moment.
He stole my knowledge and wants me to apologize to him? ?
He could finally see that these ministers were deliberately favoring Wang Xiang because they were afraid that he would come back to compete for position!
Wang Su sneered and said: "We are all working together, how dare we act so recklessly here?!"
Xun Yi was furious, "Prince Yong, I have always been friendly with you, why do you insult me like this?!"
Seeing the chaos in the banquet, Zhang Hua looked at Cao Mao again. If he didn't take action, there would be a big problem in this first banquet.
Cao Mao just picked up the tea from the side, took a sip, and then said to Sima Yan:
"See, no one cares about right and wrong."
"It's all just for profit."
"What if the prince's knowledge is stolen? Who will care?"
“As long as the return of the prince to the temple is not good for them, then they will also turn a blind eye to right and wrong.”
"Of course interests are the root of everything, but if there is no right and wrong, sooner or later you will be buried in this interest."
Sima Yan glanced at the emperor, thoughtfully.
Soon, the situation changed from Wang Su's one-on-one to one against many. After he sprayed Xun Yi, many ministers left the position one after another and began to side with Wang Xiang. Even the young scholars, They also finished taking sides.
Of course, the reason why these scholars stood in line was different from that of the ministers. They just recognized Wang Xiang's statement that everyone can read the scriptures.
Wang Su and Wang Xiang looked at each other, both of them looking confident.
Wang Xiang is very confident.
He knew the reason why the emperor asked him to come to Taiji Hall. The emperor needed to use himself to win the interpretation power of classics from the hands of the wealthy family.
And none of these ministers wanted to see Wang Su coming.
Whether it is these bystanders or the most important referee, they are all people on my side. How can you let me lose?
No matter how strong you, Wang Su, are, you will never be our opponent.
Of course Wang Su is also very confident.
He was sure that Wang Xiang was just a shameless thief, and he couldn't fool the world. If you know something like a classic, you know it, and if you don't know it, you don't know it. At their level, no loopholes will be missed.
Moreover, now the ministers have vague intention of uniting to deal with the emperor.
Your Majesty must want to win over me to deal with the ministers.
With His Majesty on my side, why should I be afraid of you? ?
The two couldn't stop arguing and looked in the direction of the emperor.
Um? ?
What about that dirty thing? ?
There was nothing in the emperor's original position, and even Sima Yan disappeared.
Zhong Hui looked at them with a smile, "It's okay, you can continue talking."
At this moment, Wang Xiang and Wang Su's expressions became extremely exciting.
"Your Majesty, why don't we continue to watch?"
Sima Yan followed Cao Mao with surprise on his face.
"Don't look at it. Both of them are my teachers. If there is a quarrel, I can't take sides."
"Besides, isn't Shi Ji still there?"
"Let Shi Ji handle it."
Cao Mao said very calmly, and the two of them walked on the path outside Tai Chi Hall, and the soldiers who came towards them bowed to each other.
Sima Yan couldn't help but sigh.
"How did you make the soldiers so excited?"
Cao Mao smiled and replied: "This is all thanks to our Gao Situ."
Sima Yan suddenly realized, "Is it because they are angry at Situ Gong's evil deeds and share the same hatred with the enemy, so their morale is high?"
"almost."
"I raided Gao Rou's house and used their property to reward Su Wei."
"ah???"
Cao Mao did not ask why Sima Yan appeared at the banquet, nor did Sima Yan talk about why he brought his grandfather here. There were eunuchs holding lanterns in front and behind to clear the way. The two of them were surrounded in the middle, and they just walked leisurely on the path. superior.
"Your Majesty, are you running out of talents recently?"
"really."
"I still have a few friends there, would you like to recommend them to you?"
"Actually, there are many talented people around me."
