Lin Feng strode forward, came to the stage and stood still. After looking around, he withdrew his gaze, stared at Lin Yuantu and said: "I never thought that you, Lin Yuantu, could confuse right and wrong so much, and still speak so righteously. , it really opened my eyes. When you say these unconscionable things, aren’t you afraid of having an uneasy conscience?”
Lin Yuantu rolled his sleeves and said: "Young man, you are young and haven't seen much. It's normal that you don't understand Xunzi. Although you are a disciple of Xunzi, how long have you been with Xunzi? You know people and faces but you don't know them. Heart, there are so many things you don’t know.”
Lin Feng said: "It just so happens that I really know."
Lin Yuantu said: "In front of everyone, I want to hear, how do you defend Xunzi? Even if you, Lin Feng, are an official of the Qin State, you can't confuse right and wrong. Xunzi's misdeeds are full of evil deeds, and you can't stop Youyou mouth."
In his words, Lin Yuantu directly characterized Xunzi, and he was even very relaxed and did not take Lin Feng to heart.
Lin Feng is a young man who has just left the country and has no hair on his mouth. How can he be so great?
Not worth mentioning.
If Lin Feng was not a disciple of Xunzi, Lin Yuantu would not look directly at Lin Feng, let alone argue with Lin Feng, and would simply expel him.
This is his usual approach.
Lin Feng said seriously: "Let me talk about the crime of disloyalty first. Your reason is that the teacher was born in the Xia State, studied in the Xia State, became famous in the Xia State, but came to the Qi State to cheat and cheat, so the teacher betrayed the Xia State. I have a question. According to the teacher, at least 70% of the great Confucian scholars in Jixia Academy are from other countries."
"Are these people disloyal?"
"They all betrayed the country?"
Lin Feng sneered and said, "This theory of yours, Lin Yuantu, is hard to agree with."
Wow! !
Many Confucian scholars were discussing it.
Many people never said that Lin Yuantu mentioned the issue of infidelity, because Lin Yuantu was the priest of Jixia Academy and the person in charge of Jixia Academy.
Now, Lin Feng pointed out the problem directly. According to Lin Yuantu's theory, as long as Xunzi is convicted, outsiders like them, countless scholars from outside Qi, will be accused of being disloyal.
This is a pole that capsizes a whole boat of people.
Many people are unhappy.
Lin Yuantu's cheeks twitched, and he snorted: "What I said is only directed at Xunzi, not others."
"Oh, you're only targeting teachers?"
Lin Feng clicked his tongue and said sarcastically: "Then your standard for judging people is a typical double standard. It is a crime for teachers to come to Qi State, but not for others. But in fact, according to your theory, other people are still criminals. Unfaithful."
"This is a cover-up excuse."
"Lin Yuantu, your words are too crude, without any supporting evidence, and are completely untenable."
"Actually, this is just to refute you."
"Now, let me tell you more reasons. Scholars must read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and see all the vicissitudes of the world before they can gain insight into the world. Insights into worldly affairs are knowledge, and knowledge about human feelings is writing. Being able to understand people's feelings and understand people's hearts , only then will there be true knowledge.”
"A scholar must travel and study."
"So it is normal for scholars in the world to come to Qi or leave Qi. There is no such thing as loyalty or disloyalty."
"Your theory is only partial."
Lin Feng's voice became more and more passionate, echoing around the high platform.
Hearing this, many scholars nodded.
They agreed with Lin Feng's words.
Leaving your motherland does not mean that you are not loyal to your motherland. It is just for studying and for a better life.
Lin Yuantu's face turned pale.
Lin Feng's words were very sharp and attracted the support of countless people. He wanted to open his mouth to object. But when the words came to his lips, before he could say anything, Lin Feng said again: "Let's get back to the topic, let's go back to the teacher."
"When I was in the Xia Kingdom, my teacher was also determined to serve his motherland and contribute to the Xia Kingdom. However, the emperor was ignorant and indulged in monasticism. He even appointed treacherous and sycophants and drove away the virtuous ministers. The teacher had more than enough ambition but lacked the ability, and was even more marginalized."
"In desperation, the teacher no longer sought to fulfill his ambitions by becoming an official, but devoted himself to studying knowledge."
"Finally, the teacher came to Qi."
"According to what you Lin Yuantu said, the teacher came to Qi State to cheat on food and drink, which is even more ridiculous. The situation at that time was that the late emperor had written three times to invite the teacher to come to Qi State. Under the late emperor's warm invitation, and because of the political chaos in Xia State, The atmosphere was full of chaos, and the teacher came to Qi to study and teach."
"This is the reason why the teacher came to Qi."
Lin Feng's eyes were sharp and he said: "You, Lin Yuantu, keep saying that the teacher cheated and drank in Qi State. Is the late emperor's warm invitation false? Is your approval more authoritative, or the late emperor's? What did the late emperor do? The king of Qi State, a generation of wise kings, all recognized the teacher as a generation of Confucianism. If you object, do you, Lin Yuantu, want to overturn the judgment of the late emperor?"
boom! !
Lin Yuantu's mind seemed to explode.
Kick! Kick!
He took two steps back, and the look on his face was even more horrified.
Lin Feng is really sharp-tongued.
He couldn't argue.
When Xunzi came to Qi, it was indeed because of the warm invitation of the emperor of the previous generation that Xunzi came to Jixia Academy.
Lin Yuantu gritted his teeth and was very unwilling. In the few months since he came to Jixia Academy, he had been working hard to crucify Xunzi and destroy Xunsi's reputation.
Lin Feng is here. Once he exonerates Xunzi, how can he stay in Jixia Academy in the future?
Lin Yuantu's mind changed, and he came up with a plan and said directly: "Lin Feng, even if you defend Xunzi, he is not a disloyal person. But Xunzi is unfilial, but it is a fact. For fame and fortune, Xunzi did not return to the Xia Kingdom to fulfill his filial piety. , it is disgraceful. He is greedy for fame and wealth, and is in vain to become a great scholar."
This is Lin Yuantu's ultimate victory.
It is the key to crucify Xunzi.
Wang Can wished that Lin Feng would be embarrassed, especially no matter how he thought about it, he felt that Lin Feng would definitely be embarrassed this time.
The two words loyalty and filial piety.
Loyalty is very important, and filial piety is the foundation.
Xunzi lost the key point of filial piety. No matter how Lin Feng defended it, it was a hurdle that was difficult to overcome.
Wang Can thought of this and became more confident towards Lin Yuantu. He no longer hesitated, stepped forward, stood in the audience, and said loudly: "Lin Feng, no matter how you defend Xunzi's whitewashing, being unfilial is unfilial. Unchangeable.”
"Yes, it can't be changed."
Others began to echo.
These people were all promoted by Lin Yuantu. They all moved closer to Lin Yuantu and gained many benefits from Jixia Academy.
It's just that more people are still watching, just to watch the fun.
Xu Liuli looked at Lin Feng on the stage with deep trust in her eyes. She believed in Lin Feng and Xunzi even more.
Lin Feng listened to the words of people from Lin Yuantu's group and sneered: "Lin Yuantu, you really know how to confuse right and wrong. No, it is not appropriate to describe you as confusing right and wrong. To be precise, it should be described as ignorance. You, Lin Yuantu, are extremely ignorant."
Lin Yuantu sneered twice, as if he was confident of winning, and said forcefully: "Lin Feng, no matter how you argue, the fact that Xunzi is unfilial exists. Anyone who mentions this matter can say that Xunzi is unfilial."
"Yes, you can say anything,"
Wang Can nodded in agreement.
He had a look of expectation on his face. As long as Lin Feng took this step, Lin Feng would be defeated, and there would be no need to talk about the follow-up.
Lin Feng sighed: "When it comes to matters, we have to start with the late emperor."
Lin Yuantu frowned.
The late emperor!
Does it involve the late emperor again?
How come he doesn't know.
At this moment, Lin Yuantu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. It seemed that the situation was about to get out of control again?
