Ouyang Jun was also shocked at this time.
In fact, he didn't mean any harm today. There is a tradition in the government school that all new students who enter the school must be tested by the junior students and senior students.
It is said to be a school test, but in fact it is also a prestige, letting the freshmen know the gap between themselves and the old students, and whether they will be led by senior students or other talented people in the future.
Before Fusheng's report, Linsheng and Zengsheng worked out the topic last night. As soon as he said "Three Forgiveness", everyone kept saying "Good". There is really no place to buy "Sage's Family Words" elsewhere. , they also studied in Zunjing Pavilion after entering school.
I thought that once I said it, the freshmen would be frightened into silence.
Can……
In fact, Ouyang Jun not only asked a question "Three Forgivenesses", but also had a question "There are Five Great Evils in the World" as an alternative.
This question also comes from "Books from the Sage's Family".
But when he saw Xu He answering [Sanshu] so easily, he also knew that what he had originally prepared would not be able to hold him back at all.
But as one of the five people elected by everyone to write the question, the others have successfully taught the epiphytes how to behave.
However, I encountered a problem in the middle.
Letting Xu He go so easily not only showed that his level was limited, but also failed to achieve his goal of embarrassing the epiphytes.
Therefore, Ouyang Jun rolled his eyes and said, "I have one more question. I wonder if Mr. Xu still dares to answer it?"
When Govinda heard this, his face turned red and he hurriedly said, "You guys don't mean what you say. We originally agreed that there were only five questions!"
Ouyang Jun glanced at him: "Originally, it was agreed that there would only be five people. Including Mr. Xu, there are now six people. Why did you go there so early?"
Govinda was obviously not good at words, and when Ouyang Jun choked like this, he immediately became mute.
At this time, Xu He smiled and said: "Brother Ouyang, right? Just tell me, I'll give it a try!"
Ouyang Junfuzhang smiled and said: "Okay, Mr. Xu is very impressive!"
After he finished speaking, he paced around the field with his hands behind his back, thinking.
After a long while, he finally said: "Who can destroy Xia Yang?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, some people around him gradually became more relaxed, while others frowned in deep thought.
In Fu Sheng's small circle, these two groups of people are also divided, and some Fu Sheng even want to answer anxiously.
Who can destroy Xia Yang?
First of all, we must understand what kind of place Xia Yang is.
After thinking for a long time, Xu He suddenly realized that Xia Yang was the fortress of Yu and Guo.
This question became very famous in later generations, and it is the origin of the idiom "False Way to Cut Off Guo".
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Jin wanted to annex two small neighboring countries: Yu and Guo. The two countries had good relations with each other.
If Jin attacks Yu, Guo will send troops to rescue; if Jin attacks Guo, Yu will also send troops to help. Minister Xun Xi offered a plan to Duke Xian of Jin. He said that in order to conquer these two countries, we must drive a wedge between them so that they cannot support each other.
The king of Yu State is greedy, and we can just do what he wants. He suggested that Duke Xian of Jin take out two of his beloved treasures, the good horse Quyang and the wall of hanging thorns, and give them to Duke Yu.
How could Duke Xiang be willing to part with it? Xun Xi said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm just letting him keep it for a while. When the Kingdom of Yu is destroyed, won't everything return to your hands?" Duke Xiang followed his plan.
Duke Yu got a good horse and a beautiful jade, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
The State of Jin deliberately caused trouble on the border between Jin and Guo and found an excuse to attack Guo.
The state of Jin asked the state of Yu to use the road to let the state of Jin attack Guo. Duke Yu had to agree because he got the benefits of the state of Jin. Gong Zhiqi, the minister of the State of Yu, repeatedly persuaded Duke Yu that this matter could not be done.
The two countries of Yu and Guo are dependent on each other. Once Guo falls, their lips will be dead and their teeth will be cold. Jin will not let Yu go.
But Duke Yu said that it would be a fool to make a weak friend and offend a strong friend! The Jin army passed the road of Yu State and attacked Guo State, and won the victory after four months.
When the master returned home, he divided a lot of the robbed property and gave it to Duke Yu. Duke Yu was even more overjoyed. The general of the Jin army, Rick, feigned illness and said that he could not bring his troops back to the country, so he temporarily stationed his troops near the capital of Yu State.
Duke Yu had no doubt. A few days later, Duke Xian of Jin personally led his army, and Duke Yu came out of the city to meet him. I made a pact with Duke Yu to go hunting. After a while, I saw a fire in the capital.
When Duke Yu rushed to the outside of the city, the capital had been occupied by the Jin army. In this way, the Jin State easily destroyed the Yu State.
It's such a simple story, but why did Ouyang Jun single out Xu He to take the exam?
Because there are discrepancies in this story among the three Chun Qiu novels.
"Zuo Zhuan" said that when the Guo State was destroyed, the Yu State sent troops and was willing to be the vanguard of the Jin State.
The final capture of the fortress of Xia Yang was also the result of the joint efforts of the two armies.
According to "Gu Liang Biography": "Yu has no teachers." That is to say, the State of Yu has no intention of sending troops.
There is also a record of this incident in "Gongyang Zhuan", but in the whole text, there is no record of Yu State sending troops, only borrowing the road is mentioned.
Even the three schools said that the time when Jin defeated Yu was different.
Yu and Guo were both small countries. Yu Xianchen Gong Zhiqi saw that Jin had evil intentions and had the intention of defeating them one by one and killing two birds with one stone. He advised Yu Jun not to be fooled.
Not only did Yu Jun refuse to listen, he also volunteered to send troops to lead the way and help Jin capture Xia Yang, Guo Yi.
What happened after this is somewhat different from "Gu Liang Zhuan" to "Zuo Zhuan".
"Gu Liang Biography" believes that the Jin State destroyed the Guo State that year, and five years later it destroyed the Yu State. "Zuo Zhuan" believes that after Jin captured Xia Yang (i.e. Xia Yang), it was only used as a stronghold and did not immediately destroy Guo.
Three years later, the Jin army once again pretended to be in the Yu state, sent its troops south, and destroyed the Guo state. On the way back, the Jin army also destroyed the Yu state.
Yu Jun finally became a prisoner.
However, this discrepancy is not within the scope of Ouyang Jun's test and can be ignored.
Xu He smiled bitterly, shook his head and said to Ouyang Jun: "My senior's classic is the Spring and Autumn Annals, right?"
The reason why he asked this is because the content of "Spring and Autumn" is relatively small. It is usually combined with "Zuo Zhuan", "Gongyang Zhuan" and "Gu Liang Zhuan" that explain "Spring and Autumn". This scripture.
The reason why Ouyang Jun raised this question was obviously that he discovered discrepancies in the records of the three biographies when he was studying this classic.
Ouyang Jun looked at Xu He in surprise: "You also know this question? You, your classic, is also "Spring and Autumn"?"
Xie Liangcai smiled and said: "Brother Ouyang, my brother's original scripture is "Poetry"."
People who knew the three flavors were all surprised when they heard this. Although all the Thirteen Classics must be learned by scholars, this kid is taking his reading too seriously, right?
It's not his own classic, but he has studied it so thoroughly.
Ouyang Jun no longer dared to look down on Xu He and made a gesture of invitation, asking him to answer.
Xu He organized some words and said: "There are discrepancies in the records of the three biographies. Which one can be accepted?"
"Historians' interpretations may tend to be biased toward "Zuo Zhuan" for two reasons. First, "Gu Liang Zhuan" tends to be about classics, with interpretation as the means, and the purpose of expressing opinions; Zuo Zhuan is more about history, with narrative as the means, and The purpose is to record facts. It is customary to say that historians generally tend to prefer a narrative style; secondly, it is generally believed that "Zuo Zhuan" was written in the middle of the Warring States Period, and "Gu Liang Zhuan" and "Gongyang Zhuan" were written in the Western Han Dynasty. Based on common sense , "Zuo Zhuan" was written closer to the time when the incident occurred, so it will be relatively credible."
As soon as these words came out, some people couldn't hold back and wanted to speak.
Xu He smiled and said: "Please be patient, I haven't finished speaking yet."
