"Cai Gen Tan", a classic compiled by Huanchu Taoist in the Ming Dynasty, is a Confucian classic.
What it tells is not a story, it is similar to an anthology. It combines the Confucian doctrine of the mean and the Buddhist doctrine of transcendence. It can be said that it is full of positive energy, positive and optimistic. Cai Gentan, which means that if you can eat vegetable roots, you can understand everything.
Tao Yao is the prince's young master, not the cheating young commander. Let me ask, how come the Confucian classics that have been passed down through the ages cannot suppress a prince's young master!
Not only Tao Yao looked shocked, but the two princes Chang Yu and Chang Xian also looked incomprehensible.
Chu Qing, who was stopped, turned his head and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
I just said it casually, thinking of finishing the fooling and leaving this troubled place.
Now that he saw everyone's shocked expressions, he realized that he had inadvertently "pretended" a little.
Chu Qing's waist straightened up, his chest puffed up, his expression adjusted, and his posture was correct.
Come on, praise me, worship me, call me daddy.
Tao Yao stood up and finally spoke.
"You..." Tao Yao's eyes were deep and incomprehensible: "Where did you steal it from?"
Chu Qing: "..."
The second prince Changxian raised his pen and wrote down everything Chu Qing had just said.
Chang Yu also muttered it repeatedly and nodded repeatedly.
It can also be seen from this that although the two princes are young, their literary level is not low.
"I..." Chu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I thought about it myself."
As soon as he finished saying this, Chu Qing saw the familiar look on Tao Yao's face again.
Contempt, and disdain.
"Don't think that I don't know what kind of idiot you Chu...you Chu...Chu Wensheng's son is, so it's just you?"
Chu Qing was angry when he couldn't even call out his name.
The anger that had been suppressed for a long time was completely ignited.
Dogs who work for free also have dignity.
It's not that Chu Qing didn't know his reputation. His anger came from Tao Yao's condescending look, from the other party's overlooking gaze, and from the other party's stereotyped prejudice.
"Master Tao." His face became extremely calm: "If it were another occasion or another matter, and you were always preaching, the boy would naturally bend over to listen and not dare to refute even a few words, but knowledge..."
Chu Qing's eyes changed, resolute and courageous.
"In a battle of knowledge, it is natural to not give in even an inch. This is the pride of our generation of scholars!"
Yes, there is a dispute, but it is not a dispute over knowledge, it is just a dispute.
Chu Qing knew that he was a prostitute, but that didn't mean that he could tolerate anyone trampling on him, whether it was dignity or anything else.
People must have been offended, and they must have been offended to death.
Since he was so offended, it was better to make the matter bigger. If he could make it bigger, he could even win, but Tao Yao would not dare to embarrass himself in the future. Once he punished himself, he would use his power to suppress others!
"How dare you talk to me about knowledge?" Tao Yao sneered: "You get drunk on flower boats, spend a lot of money in gambling houses, and fly around in Beijing. You have neither learned nor learned anything since you were a child. You are not good at literature and martial arts. How can you talk about knowledge with me? Are you worthy?"
"Yes, the student once lived a ridiculous life, but the prodigal son can't exchange for gold when he returns. The dungworms are so filthy that they turn into cicadas and drink dew in the autumn wind. The rotten grass becomes dull and turns into fireflies and dances in the summer moon. Cleanliness always comes out of filth. , every time a student comes out of obscurity, how can Master Tao be so sure that his students have plagiarized other people's knowledge?"
After finishing his sentence, Tao Yao's pupils shrank sharply.
The meaning of this sentence is that the worms born in the dung are the dirtiest, but once they turn into cicadas, they only drink the clean dew of autumn. Corrupted wild herbs do not give off light, but once they give birth to fireflies, they can The dazzling light shines in the summer night sky. What Chu Qing means is that clean things often emerge from filth, and bright things often appear in darkness.
"Don't suppress the theory, don't be the same." Tao Yao was not a vegetarian, and retorted: "There is no learning, and if you can't learn it, you can't do it. If you ask, you can't know. If you learn it, you can't interrogate it. , think carefully, discern clearly, and practice it diligently, I asked, why not?"
Chu Qing smiled slightly and said lightly: "What do you mean?"
Tao Yao: "..."
The two princes were extremely speechless. As soon as they said the words "what do you mean?", they basically concluded that this guy was indeed ignorant.
Tao Yao laughed: "You are indeed a boaster, shameful. How can you prove that what you just said is not someone else's knowledge?"
Chu Qing shrugged and asked, "How can master Tao prove that this is not my own knowledge?"
"I told you, you dandy Hua Chuan..."
Chu Qing interrupted: "Okay, after Xu time tonight, I will go to the flower boat. I will write down the names of all the scholars on the flower boat and tell the world tomorrow. As the prince's young master Tao said, those who go to the flower boat, They are all ignorant and incompetent!"
"You're talking nonsense, that's not what I meant."
"What does that mean?"
"Your father Chu Wensheng doesn't know a word..."
Chu Qing interrupted again: "The ancient sage Emperor Shun raised eight yuan and eight emperors, released the four evils, appointed officials, and controlled floods. His father Gusou had eyesight and could not recognize the wise and the foolish. How can Master Tao explain this?"
"What a joke!" Tao Yao's expression of disdain became even more serious: "You alone are worthy of being compared with a sage?"
"Okay, then when I leave the palace today, I will tell everyone I meet that if someone's father is illiterate, he will have no future in this life, and all children from poor families will have no future, because this is what Master Tao, the prince's young master, said personally."
"You are making trouble, that's not what I meant!"
"What does Mr. Tao mean?" Chu Qing began to explain: "Does that mean that the children from poor families who are at the top of the imperial examination have no future, because they are not from aristocratic families, and none of them have read a book. Father, Master Tao, do you mean that the imperial examination is useless?"
"You fart, I...I am talking about your Chu family, your father Chu Wensheng, your Chu family..."
"How is the Chu family?" Chu Qing waved his sleeves: "My father Chu Wensheng was the left minister of the Ministry of Industry of the dynasty. He was appointed by the Supreme Emperor as an official of the imperial court. It is true that Master Tao was the prince's junior master, but he was not a heavenly official of the Ministry of Personnel. If it doesn’t work, Lord Tao will question the Supreme Emperor!”
Tao Yao's expression changed slightly: "That's not what I meant, but the foreign court has said that your father Chu Wensheng's body is left to eat nothing, and his official position is difficult to protect."
"Okay, I dare to ask again, my father Chu Wensheng, is he still the left minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
"So what!"
"Your Majesty, can you dismiss my father and demote him to a commoner?"
"Of course not, but..."
"That's right!" Chu Qing said coldly: "Master Tao, don't forget, you are the prince's young master, and you are only the prince's young master. Your Majesty, you have never said that you want to remove my father. Since you have never said so, you Prince's Young Master, how can you judge my father's merits and demerits, Prince's Young Master...a joke!"
"You..." Tao Yao was furious: "How dare you say that I am a joke!"
"So what if it's not a joke? Wasn't what Master Tao just said a joke? If it's not a joke, tomorrow I will let my father enter the palace and ask His Majesty in person and ask all the ministers. In this world, the promotion and demotion of officials is not Your Majesty's. It is not the officials who have the final say, but when the prince becomes the young master, he has the final say!"
"You...you are so reckless. Of course I don't have the final say."
"Since it's not you who has the final say, and you're not a joke, then what is it?"
"Bastard!" Tao Yao actually raised his arm.
Chu Qing's expression changed slightly and he took a step back: "Old man, how dare you fucking do it?!"
