"Master Ning, may I ask if there are any methods in the sages' books to build river embankments to prevent rivers from flooding?"
"Master Ning, may I ask if there are any methods in the sages' books to make the six animals prosperous?"
"…………"
Liu Haojia took a step forward every time he asked a question, forcing Ning Yushi to retreat step by step! After taking a few steps back, he retreated into the group of censors behind him! If these censors hadn't stopped him, he would have fallen to the ground!
At this time, Ning Yushi was shocked and angry, unable to deal with Liu Haojia for a while! There was even more chaos among the ministers. Some of the nobles who had always disliked the Four Books and Five Classics applauded and applauded. The entire class of military ministers was in chaos!
The people in the civil service class were extremely angry, with anger in their eyes! Many people are even eager to give it a try and are ready to chime in at any time!
The few pavilion elders sitting in front lost their usual calm demeanor and turned their bodies to look at the two people who were fighting! Even Zhang Juzheng opened his eyes and stared at Liu Haojia!
At this moment, Ning Yushi, who was forced by Liu Haojia and turned pale and crumbling, suddenly seemed to think of something? He tried his best to push away the other people's hands and stood up. He pointed his finger at Liu Haojia and said loudly: "You, how dare you deny the learning of saints?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the applause from Honorable Lord suddenly stopped! But the eyes of other civil servants were shining with bloodthirsty light! Even several pavilion elders looked somewhat appreciative of Yushi Ning. Everyone present looked at Liu Haojia, waiting for his answer! The answer he hears will determine his fate!
When Liu Haojia heard these words, he couldn't help but admire in his heart, sighing that Yushi Ning was indeed extremely sophisticated, and at this time he actually discovered a way to fight back!
Liu Haojia knew clearly that the civil service group had an absolute advantage over the court! And these civil servants all read the Four Books and Five Classics, stood out from the rounds of examinations, and gradually entered the temple. In other words, they themselves are vested interests, so how could they allow someone to slander the saint's words?
They united together with the help of the sages' books, worked hard to exclude other doctrines, and monopolized the resources of the entire temple and even the world. Therefore, anyone who opposed the words of the sages was their enemy, and they would not hesitate to tear this person into pieces!
As for the nobles, although they say that reading the books of sages is useless, in fact, the principles stated in the books of sages have already penetrated into their lives! If someone jumps up to oppose the words of the saint at this time, the best result is that most people will watch indifferently, while a small number of people will work with the civil servants to eliminate this person from his body to his words!
Now that he knows this truth, how could Liu Haojia be fooled! So under the gaze of everyone, in the tomb-like silence of the entire hall, he lightly threw out a sentence and said: "Master Meng, when did I deny the teachings of the saints?"
Hearing this sentence, the ministers couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief! As a result, under the influence of the huge number of people, the sound was so loud and uniform that even they themselves were shocked when they heard it!
When Ning Yushi heard Liu Haojia's words, his face turned as pale as death! It was as if he had struck a heavy blow but was dodged by someone, leaving him speechless for a moment. He could only point his finger at Liu Haojia and say: "You, you..."
Liu Haojia reached out and slapped his hand away and said: "As a court official, I don't even understand the most basic etiquette! Don't you know that using your fingers is rude? How did you become this official? I am here to remind you that in There is a crime of misconduct before the emperor!"
Ning Yushi's hand was so painful from Liu Haojia's beating that he was speechless for a while. But Liu Haojia didn't intend to let him speak at all. Instead, he said loudly: "I have never refuted the words of a saint! In my opinion, the words of a saint are not useful, but of great use! It is because of the words of a saint. With the guidance of words, we as talents have the standard of life, and then we know how to deal with others! The words of saints are the soul of all of us, and they are also an indispensable part of the inheritance of our culture! But as long as people have Is it enough to just remove the soul? No! We still need to eat food! Then we need to study some ways to increase food production. This is a person’s head! And in order to live a better life and have a stronger body, we need to have enough If we eat meat, we have to study how to make our animals prosper, which is like our left hand! And in order to resist the wind and cold, or shield us from the scorching sun, we have to study how to spin and weave cloth, which is like our left hand. It’s like our right hand! In order to withstand wind, frost, rain and snow, we need to build houses, so we have to study the knowledge of craftsmanship, which is just like our body! In order to resist wild beasts and even enemies, we also need to study how to fight. Knowledge, this is like our left leg! In order to make better instruments that are beneficial to our lives and battles, we must study the knowledge of various crafts, and this is like our right leg! There are many more Many other knowledge, such as our hands and feet are the same. Only when these things are put together can we be a complete person! Otherwise, there is only the soul without the body, and the soul has nothing to rely on! Only the body without the soul, the body is a walking corpse , this is what I want to say!"
Speaking of this, Liu Haojia paused. He took a step forward, looked at Yushi Ning and said, "But Master Ning actually doesn't understand this moral! People like you are just looking for chapters and excerpts, and can only dig into the rotten piles of ancient papers. Man! People like you are just despicable people who only use the words of saints to distort facts and slander others! People like you are just fools who don’t understand anything but pretend to be smart!"
Ning Yushi was so angry at Liu Haojia's words! The pale complexion just now began to turn purple, as if all the blood rushed to his head! If it weren't for the help of several censors around him, he might have fallen to the ground by now!
At the same time, the hearts of the surrounding civil servants who had just relaxed continued to beat a few times, and all of them had angry faces but no one spoke. Because they knew very well that Liu Haojia's words just now were only aimed at Ning Yushi. Although there is a suspicion of alluding to hundreds of officials, I feel that there is no intention to belittle the saint!
But at the same time, they know better that Liu Haojia has really grasped the biggest weakness of Confucianism, which is that it has no practical application! The simplest truth is that without the words of a saint, a person may live in confusion, but he will definitely survive!
