Lin Feng smiled softly. There was no panic on his face, but he was very relaxed. He bowed his hands to Wang Tong and said, "Mr. Wang is a senior. Although I don't know you, the senior comes to give you advice. I should bow first and then fight."
Wang Tong raised his eyebrows.
His concern did not lie in Lin Feng's respect, but in Lin Feng's words of courtesy first and then fighting.
What a great Lin Feng.
Do you want to argue with him?
There was an expectant look on Wang Tong's old face, and he said seriously: "You must be polite first and then fight. That's very good. I'll wait and see. I haven't met a young man like you for a long time, and I'd like to hear your advice."
"Lin Feng, you are overestimating your capabilities."
Someone in the crowd shouted.
The person who stood up was Fu Rong, who had spoken before. He said seriously: "The prince is a great scholar in our Jin country. You are bringing shame on yourself by arguing with the prince."
Lin Feng sneered and said: "So it's you. You really can't change your attitude. You're as good-looking as ever. But let's talk about it. A country commoner can do it, an ordinary scholar can do it, and a noble scholar can do it."
"When Mr. Wang and I discuss Confucianism, we don't discuss it based on our status, but we are both scholars."
"If you can't debate because of differences in age and status, then what progress can be made by the debate among scholars in the world? If you do this, you are putting Mr. Wang in an unjust situation. You are not worthy of being a scholar of Jin. "
Wang Tong's expression also changed slightly.
Lin Feng is not simple.
What he said just now was actually a slap in the face to bring him in. If Wang Tong is being arrogant, Lin Feng's words are right, so Wang Tong cannot sit idly by.
This was Lin Feng forcing him to express his stance.
Wang Tong said in a deep voice: "Fu Rong, please step aside. Your words are really rude."
Fu Rong's complexion changed suddenly.
He was scolded by Wang Tong, which also had a great influence among the scholars of Jin State.
Fu Rong looked unwilling, and when he looked at Lin Feng, his expression became even more helpless and angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Wang Tong turned to Lin Feng and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Lin Feng, don't take Fu Rong's words to heart. No one will bother you now. I'm waiting for your wise words."
Lin Feng said slowly: "Mr. Wang said that I am not worthy of being called a Confucian. In my opinion, Mr. Wang's definition is somewhat wrong. I dare to ask Mr. Wang, why do people study?"
Wang Tong said seriously: "Of course it's for the sake of etiquette."
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "Mr. Wang's answer is not very appropriate. In my opinion, people study to cultivate themselves, manage their families, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. Because of studying, they can understand honor and disgrace, and achieve personal improvement. . Then, you can restrain your family members, change the family's ideas, and then you can govern a country, even wipe out the disloyal people in the world, and calm down the chaos."
"This is what people pursue throughout their lives after studying."
"Back to the Confucians, in my opinion, there are Confucians who are villains and Confucians who are gentlemen."
"A humble Confucian, he spends all day thinking about words when he has something to do. He specializes in calligraphy and ink. He composes poems when he is young. He has a bright head and a poor scripture. Although he has thousands of words in his pen, he actually has no ink in his mind."
"Ask him to govern a place, and he only knows what it is. He has no clue at all. He only knows how to be miserable."
"A gentleman's Confucianism is to keep uprightness and avoid evil, and to do things pragmatically. He can read classics, talk about heaven and earth, and can govern the place. He can protect the country for the king and protect the country and the people. This is to benefit all people and benefit the world with his talents and knowledge. .”
"This is the pursuit of scholars and the true Confucian."
Lin Feng talked freely and freely, and he was never afraid of arguments.
Lin Feng continued: "I studied under my mentor Xunzi and studied various classics. However, the teacher often taught me not to immerse myself in the Haoshou Qiong Sutra, because it would waste time and time."
"Study wisely, you should ultimately help the world. It is said that if you are poor, you can only benefit yourself, but if you are successful, you can help the world. If you have the ability, you should benefit all people and seek welfare for all people in the world."
"I am in Da Qin, and now the war in Da Qin is about to start. I am running around for the war, and traveling between the two countries in order to resolve the war. Although I have to deal with many people, it is inevitable that I will be indifferent, but all this is to reduce casualties and prevent the Jin Dynasty from harming the Jin Dynasty. The bones of the country’s soldiers are buried in a foreign land, and the Qin soldiers are not allowed to die on the battlefield.”
"Doing this is what a scholar should do, and what a Confucian scholar should do."
"Instead of a group of people drinking wine, watching the singer dance, and then talking loudly, you brag about me, I brag about you, and praise each other. What benefit does such flattery have to the people? What benefit does it have to the country?"
Lin Feng looked at Wang Tong and said confidently: "This is what I have to say about the flying camp, dog dogs and Confucian scholars. Please understand it, Mr. Wang."
Wang Tong's confident expression also changed.
He no longer had the composure he had before.
Lin Feng's words are really sharp, which involves the argument that if you are poor, you can benefit yourself alone, and if you are successful, you can benefit the world.
This is something Wang Tong cannot argue with.
Wang Tong's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "What you said is indeed profound, and I quite agree with it. But I still have a question."
Lin Feng said: "I would like to hear the details."
Wang Tong said sternly: "I ordered the master to study in the Jixia Academy, where he studied the classics with his bright head. Could it be that Master Xun is not worthy of being a great Confucian, but is he also a Confucian of a villain?"
Wow! !
There was another uproar in the lobby.
Many people cheered loudly.
Wang Tong said something and used his spear to attack his shield, and in an instant the fire was directed at Master Xun.
This is very well said, extremely subtle.
Lin Feng ignored the people who encouraged Wang Tong. He shook his head and said seriously: "Mr. Wang is a great scholar, but now it seems that he does not live up to his reputation."
Wang Tongtong: "What do you mean by this?"
Lin Feng said sternly: "You don't understand the Confucianism of a gentleman and the Confucianism of a villain, that's why you accused the tutor because of my words. Moreover, you just focused on my words and picked out the words."
"My master is studying in Jixia Academy, studying knowledge and classics. It is true that he is reading the classics all day long. However, he is completely different from those who compose poems in their youth and express their worries in order to compose new words."
"The Confucian scholar who is a small person, considers his own situation, is just to attract attention. The master's mastery of the classics is to annotate the classics and pave the way for future generations, so that later scholars will not be able to understand the classics. This is the purpose of the master's study of the classics."
"The difference between the two is self-evident."
"What's more, my master integrated the essence of Legalism, Mohism, Taoism, etc., and adopted each school's teachings for his own use. This is to find a way out, so that later scholars like me can not be limited to what was pioneered by our predecessors. the way."
"With such great wisdom and courage, who in the world can compare with him? The Confucianism of a gentleman and the Confucianism of a villain can be summed up for most people, but if you try to sum it up with my master, you are wrong."
"When the tutor has reached this stage, what he has done is to establish his mind for the world. Scholars have three immortalities: meritorious service, virtue, and reputation. Today, the tutor has opened up a different path for future scholars, that is, establishing virtue. . The master summarized the classics of his predecessors, opened up the branches and leaves of Confucianism, and even established his own words."
"How can Mr. Wang be free to comment on such meritorious deeds of our master?"
Lin Feng's words were sharp, and in the end he even directly said that Xunzi was not something Wang Tong could comment on. The words were unceremonious, like a knife, piercing directly into Wang Tong's heart.
boom! ! !
Wang Tong's mind exploded.
Completely confused.
When he heard Lin Feng's words, he felt a buzzing in his head and his eyes suddenly darkened.
thump!
Wang Tong fell to the ground.
Completely passed out.
At this moment, the surroundings became chaotic. Scholars hurriedly stepped forward. After a lot of pinching and tossing, Wang Tong woke up leisurely. He saw that he was still on the stage and Lin Feng looked at him, sighing in his heart. A sound.
After Wang Tong stood up, he clasped his hands and cupped his hands and said, "I'm convinced. After what I said to Xiaoyou Lin today, I'm willing to be the loser."
He turned around and staggered away.
At this moment, there was silence in the lobby, and all the Jin scholars looked at Lin Feng with a touch of shock in their eyes.
Lin Feng impressed Wang Tong.
You know, Wang Tong is not an ordinary person, he is a famous Confucian in Jin State and is quite influential in Jin State.
Wang Tong, however, personally admitted that he was willing to be inferior.
Lin Feng looked around. He was looking at where he was looking. Every Jin scholar looked away and looked elsewhere. No one dared to step forward to argue.
"Lin Feng, I finally found you."
But at this moment, a rich and resonant voice came.
A sharp-looking middle-aged man in official robes strode in.
He stared at Lin Feng and said in a deep voice: "You, Lin Feng, came to Jinling of the Jin State and colluded with Xie Xuan of the Xie family with the intention of harming the Jin State. This crime is very serious. As the magistrate of Jinling County, I have to deal with it if someone reports it." .Come here and capture Lin Feng."
He waved his hand, and the soldiers quickly stepped forward and directly surrounded Lin Feng, already looking ready to take action. This sudden scene shocked everyone in the lobby.
Why suddenly, Lin Feng was about to be arrested.
These people did not interfere, and even many Jin scholars were a little happy.
Lin Feng is going to be arrested.
Let’s see how Lin Feng will show off his evil deeds?
