Chunyu caught Fu Nian's idea of turning Confucianism into the first theory of governing the country, so he bypassed Fu Nian's expertise in governing the country, and instead focused on self-cultivation and debate.
"Being aggressive and greedy for false fame is Chunyu's way of self-cultivation?" Ziyou whispered disdainfully.
Although Ziyou's voice was not loud, it was extremely clear except for the debate between Fu Nian and Chunyu Confucian. Everyone followed the sound and looked at Ziyou's position. When they saw that it was Ziyou, everyone withdrew their eyes again. Well, again An untouchable character.
The debate between Chunyu and Fu Nian stopped. The Confucian Chunyu looked at Ziyou and his eyes became angry and said to Ziyou.
"If you want to say that you are greedy for false fame, you are not as good as Mr. Ziyou. His reputation is resounding throughout the seven kingdoms, but his conduct is not like my Confucian style. We Confucians used to advocate the Zhou rites, but now the rites have collapsed. The Master said that one should restrain oneself and restore the rites. I want to return to the Zhou Dynasty, but you talk about unifying the world and abandoning etiquette and law. Confucianism has taught you to grow up, but you don’t want to repay Confucianism. You parade around the world wantonly and forget to distort my Confucianism."
Seeing that Chun Yu was pointing the finger at him, Ziyou was a little stunned at first, but Han Fei reminded him in a low voice.
"His name is Chun Yuyi, and he is the father of Chun Yusheng who was arguing with you."
"Oh? That's it." Ziyou's expression began to become more and more wild.
"Who am I talking about? It turns out to be Chun Yusheng's father. He is truly a father and son. I once debated etiquette with Chun Yusheng at the gate of ZB. Do you know the reason?"
Hearing what Ziyou said, others also cast disdainful looks at Chunyu Yi. After Ziyou became famous in Jixia, the city gate debate could not be concealed at all. At that time, because of Chunyusheng's deliberate pursuit of fame, the entire Chunyu family I received a gift package of contempt. Fortunately, the Chunyu family still had some abilities, so they quickly punished Chun Yusheng and gradually downplayed the matter.
Hearing Ziyou talking about Chun Yusheng, Chunyu Yi was speechless and didn't know how to say it. Ziyou continued.
"As for what you said about repaying Confucianism? I don't know how to repay Confucianism? Is it to help the people in order to gain fame, thereby gaining reputation for Confucianism, and then let people like Chun Yusheng ruin the reputation of Confucianism? Or is it that I, an outstanding disciple of Confucianism, help the king govern the country in the court and let the people live and work in peace and contentment for the sake of the reputation of Confucianism, so that people like Chun Yusheng can easily enter the court in the future?
If this is the kind of reward you are talking about, then Ziyou would rather give up his knowledge and join his family, which is what he calls self-cultivation. "
Ziyou's series of questions left Chunyu Yi speechless, but Ziyou did not finish his words but continued.
"As for Zhou Li, I have only heard of rivers flowing forward and never heard of rivers flowing backward. The whole world is moving forward, and you have only scratched the surface of what the sages said. You are the one who distorted it. A person who speaks from sages.
You only know that Confucius required self-denial and restoration of etiquette, but you don’t know that Yin’s gains and losses due to Xia etiquette are understandable. The gains and losses of Zhou due to Yin rites can be known. It may have succeeded the Zhou Dynasty, even if it lasts for hundreds of generations, it can be known.
Confucius has made it very clear that etiquette is constantly improving. The etiquette system of each generation is not directly inherited from the previous generation, but has some gains and losses. The loss is to discard the dross and get the essence, and the gain is to add on the basis of the essence. development, and you? They just stick to the words of sages and do not consider the development of today's society. Now let's see who is the person who distorts Confucius' words?
Spreading my Confucian culture is what my Confucian disciples should do, not what I force them to do, and what about you? But you want to practice tyranny and tyranny within Confucianism. Is this the knowledge you have learned from sages? Do we, Confucians, advocate harsh government? Or do you want to turn Confucianism into a tool in your hands?
You say that I am not worthy of being a disciple of Confucianism, but I think you are. You only have small profits in mind, you are greedy for fame, and you put the interests of the family above all else. You are still here talking without shame. Who allowed you to distort the principles of self-cultivation of the sages? of?
The Forum is the place where I, the great Confucian scholar, discuss knowledge and the future of Confucianism. How can a villain like you enter? Get out! "
Zi You said "Get out", leaving Chunyu Yi's face red, hesitating, and his chest rising and falling. Compared with a gentleman like Fu Nian, Chun Yuyi can bully him, because Fu Nian will not choose to use the other party's black spots. When refuting the other party, he will base his reasoning on self-cultivation, but Ziyou is different. If you reason with Ziyou, Ziyou may think that you are talking about benevolence and righteousness to him.
Confucian debates have always been about defeating the opponent from the classics of the sages. It is rare for Ziyou to make such unreasonable attacks on life. People in Xiaoshengxian Village said before that Ziyou was not a gentleman, and then Ziyou replied directly, I am a Chu man and a barbarian! Ziyou was originally picked up by Xunzi on the border of Chu State. It is correct to say that he was from Chu.
We are not afraid of gangsters having high physical skills, but we are afraid that gangsters are educated, and Ziyou is the gangster who is educated and can fight, and Ziyou also has such a flexible moral bottom line.
"Such villains are really not worthy of living in the hall, get out!" Shen Shiyu immediately scolded him. They were staunch supporters of Ziyou. They saw the future of Gong Yangru in Ziyou. They are still studying the bamboo slips given to them. Although they know the general meaning of Ziyou, and the kingly matter of great unification is very consistent with their Gongyang family, they still don't understand this great unification.
Some people who supported Ziyou stood up and shouted for Chunyu Yi to get out. Chunyu Yi looked at the huge crowd and was at a loss for a moment. Seeing that some people were already getting angry and ready to stand up and beat him. These are the people from Chunyu's family. opponents, now that Ziyou has given them the opportunity to defeat Chun Yuyi, they will naturally not let it go.
Chunyu Yi finally left the hall dejectedly. Fu Nian wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced at Ziyou gratefully. Ziyou sat back in his seat again. Chun Yuyi, who was leading the way, ran away. Zisi Shi and Zi Zhang didn't embarrass Fu Nian too much, because during the debate, Zi You's eyes never moved from them, and they were afraid that they would be ruined like Chunyu Yi.
After the debate, Fu Nian became the new head of Confucianism under the witness of various Confucian schools. Everyone dispersed from the discussion pavilion. When Ziyou was about to leave, Shen Shiyu approached Ziyou. tour.
"Sir, I have something to ask you, sir." Shen Shiyu said to Ziyou.
"What's going on?" Ziyou asked.
"It's about the unification." Shen Shiyu said.
On the bamboo slips Ziyou gave him, there was written a brand-new social and political theory. This theory was too shocking. Although Gongyang Confucians had this vague concept and understood some of the principles after studying the bamboo slips, they had no idea about it. This so-called great unity did not understand, so Master Shen Yucai came back to ask.
