.,

Yang Xiu was shocked.

This was the first time he had been with Sun Ce for many years, and he saw Sun Ce accusing his subordinates like this, especially those he respected. This matter had nothing to do with Sima Fang, but pointed directly at Xun Yu himself. He used the word "will" and naturally accused Xun Yu of passive resistance, not taking the initiative to actively understand the new policy and serving Da Wu.

This is not a matter of ability, but an attitude.

Speaking of this, Xun Yu naturally had no choice but to ask again. He apologized and withdrew from the big tent. He stood outside the tent for a while, sighed softly, and smiled bitterly at Yang Xiu who followed him, "I feel very ashamed of having implicated Dezu."

Yang Xiu was also very embarrassed. "Wenruo, you go back first. I'll find an opportunity to ask."

Xun Yu bowed and bowed. "Then there is Lao Dezu. Dezu, I want to go back and reflect on myself and don't disturb me." After saying that, he bowed and turned away. Yang Xiu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, turned back to the tent, and saw Sun Ce sitting in front of the desk, his face as dark as a pot, and his heart tightened. It seemed that the situation was even more serious than he thought, and Sun Ce was really angry.

"King." Yang Xiu put away his smile and saluted respectfully.

Sun Ce looked at Yang Xiu, snorted, and his spirit relaxed a little. He pointed to the seat beside him, signaled Yang Xiu to take the seat, and ordered someone to get some wine and food, and used it a little. Liu Ye, who was originally reported, also sat down, sipped the wine silently, without saying a word. Xun Yu asked for his old ministers and pushed him to an awkward position. Logically speaking, he was a military lieutenant and had a chance to make suggestions, but now he needed Xun Yu to come forward, naturally because he was selfish and unwilling to contribute to others.

Sun Ce ordered people to call the Shangshu on duty. Not long after, Chen Lin, Lu Cui and others came, and Sun Meng, the new scholar who entered the taxi, was also there. They were dealing with relevant documents. Because they were close, they saw Xun Yu coming to see him. Lu Cui was well-informed and knew what Sima Fang had happened to see Sun Ce, and also knew the relationship between Xun Yu and Sima Fang. He was secretly guessing Xun Yu's purpose. When he heard Sun Ce summoning to discuss matters, he immediately realized that something might have happened. He became inexplicably excited. After entering the account, he seized a good position, spread out his pen, ink, paper and ink, and prepared to record.

"You guys, tell me, what kind of Tao is my great Wu? Is Confucianism? Law?" Sun Ce looked around and was powerful without anger.

Everyone looked at each other and was surprised at the same time. This question was too big and Sun Ce was so serious that he naturally could not respond simply. If he said it wrong, it might affect his future. But it would not be possible to not answer such a major question. Everyone should have their own attitude, otherwise how can he take up a job in such a critical position?

For a moment, the tent was silent, and even the breathing was deliberately suppressed to a very light.

After a while, Lu Cui's eyes rolled, he clenched his fists and covered his mouth, and coughed lightly. Sun Ce looked over. "Wen Mok, you have written about Wang Mang's new policy and have a deep understanding of this, so let's talk about it first."

The road grew up and bowed again. "The king has his order, but I dare not hide my shortcomings. I dare to throw bricks and attract jade for the king's reference. Please correct me."

Everyone knew that Lu Cui wanted to take the opportunity to show himself, but he felt contempt, but he didn't say much, so Yang Xiu laughed. "Lu Wenmo, once your series of articles on Wang Mang's new policy were published, it was famous all over the world. This question is really the most appropriate for you to answer."

Lu Cui pretended not to hear Yang Xiu's teasing, smiled and bowed, "Master, I think that my way of Dawu is neither Confucianism nor law, and is both Confucianism and law."

Sun Ce did not argue with him and waited for Lu Cui to say anything. Although Lu Cui was not a gentleman, he still had some knowledge. After writing commentary articles about Wang Mang's new policy, he did have many people to understand the new policy.

Lu Cui cleared his throat and said loudly: "The so-called non-Confucianism and law is because the new policy of our Great Wu is neither moral nor lawful, nor lawful. Confucianism speaks about morality and does not obey common people. The four people of our Great Wu are all scholars, and everyone is equal. The Legalists are harsh on the people and only know how to farm and fight. Our Great Wu hides rich in the people, encourages all industries, and everyone can show their talents and support their own strength."

Many people nodded in agreement. Although they did not like Luci, they had to admit that Luci was right.

Lu Cui also said: "The so-called Confucianism and Law is to take its essence without losing its original intention. The strength of Confucianism lies in benevolence and righteousness, and its weaknesses lies in its difficulty in doing things. The strength of the Legalists lies in its pragmatism, and its weaknesses lies in its repressed people. Our great Wu uses the pragmatism of the Legalists to implement the benevolence and righteousness of Confucianism, to take its strengths and eliminate its weaknesses, so we can get the benefits and avoid its harm. Therefore, our great Wu has traces of Confucian people, but there is no rebellion of Wang Mang, and the wisdom of the Legalists, but there is no Shang and Han Dynasty. It is neither Confucian nor Law, and it is also Confucian and Law."

Lu Cui bowed again. "Some simple views, please correct me."

Sun Ce still ignored it, signaled Lu Cui to sit down, and looked at the others.

After a while, Chen Lin stood up and bowed to salute. "The king, I have a little objection to what Lu Jun said."

Sun Ce smiled. "Since it's a discussion, we should naturally express our opinions and speak out without any hesitation."

Chen Lin said: "I think that the way of Great Wu is still Confucian, but not Confucianism, but Mencius and Xunzi's Confucianism. Although there are some differences, their original hearts are inherited from the people. They are just based on the king's recommendation and further. We cannot abandon the original intention just because of some progress. If we talk about this, then Mencius and Xunzi are not Confucianism, wouldn't it be ridiculous? As for the Legal methods, they are just trivial and insignificant... "

Before Chen Lin finished speaking, Lu Cui refuted. "King, Mr. Chen is very proud, but I dare not agree."

Chen Lin curled her lips and bowed to Sun Ce. She didn't even look at Lu Cui, and then sat back. The others were also dissatisfied with Lu Cui, thinking that he was too rude to interrupt Chen Lin. In terms of age, Chen Lin was much older than him. Even if his opinions were different, the basic etiquette must be followed.

Sun Ce coughed. "Wen Mok, wait until Mr. Chen finishes talking. Mr. Chen, please continue talking."

Lu Cui sat back awkwardly. Seeing that Lu Cui was defeated, Sun Ce respected him very much, and Chen Lin was happy. He rose up and bowed, "Master, I have finished speaking."

Sun Ce nodded. "Wen Mok, you can say it."

"Here." Lu Cuixun returned to calmness, as if what happened just now had not happened. He said loudly: "What Mr. Chen said just now is indeed a truth. The new policy of Dawu is based on Confucian benevolent politics, and it is innovating and further. But if it is said that it is just a continuation of the Confucian changes, it will be a big deal, knowing it but not the reason."

Luci paused, adjusted his breath, so that everyone could have a time to react, and made the next words more imposing. He accused Chen Lin in person, of course, he had to be persuasive, so that Chen Lin could not refute, otherwise he would become a shrew.

Sure enough, when he heard Lu Cui's direct accusation, not only Chen Lin's face looked very ugly, but even the others were sank, glaring at him, and his hostility surged. Seeing this, Yang Xiu moved slightly and was about to ease his words, Sun Ce shook his head calmly. Seeing this, Yang Xiu had to sit back again. He could see that Sun Ce really wanted to discuss this issue thoroughly today.

Faced with the hostility of his colleagues, Lu Cui was calm and even enjoyed it. He knew that many people looked down on him, thinking that he was inclined to the point of being strong and virtue was a disadvantage. He also looked down on these people, and bluffed each other. Although his writing was exquisite, he had no real knowledge and just followed the crowd. Chen Lin was especially so. He was all in the poetry and essay paths, but he ignored real knowledge. After several months of employment, he had no progress. He was accused of his old age and was a good friend to Xiang Zhang Hong, so he did not take these young people seriously.

"The foundation of Confucianism is about benevolence and righteousness, which is beyond reproach. However, the benevolence and righteousness of our Great Wu are not generalized with the benevolence and righteousness of Confucius, and even Mencius and Xunzi." Lu Cui slowed down his words and the words were correct, so that everyone could hear clearly. "Confucius' benevolence and righteousness is benevolence and righteousness above the temple. A gentleman is a gentleman, and a villain is a villain. In the temple, movement and stillness are based on etiquette, and the monarch and ministers are harmonious. Outside the temple, there is no power to resist aggression outside, and there is no ability to comfort the people inside, and there is no name and reality, and hypocrisy is a lot of hypocrisy. Those who follow the way often have the country and their families are destroyed. The benevolence and righteousness of our Great Wu are benevolence and righteousness of the world. All the people are scholars, and there is no gentleman or villain. Therefore, the king and minister can live and work in peace and work within, and can defeat the enemy outside. These two are similar but not, and cannot be confused."

Luci raised his voice. "The foundation is established and the Tao is born. Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi is the foundation of a gentleman. How many gentlemen are there? The foundation of my great Wu is in the world. How many people are there in the world? For example, when building a building, you must first build the foundation. The thicker the foundation, the higher the building. You will talk about the building and houses. You may even dig your own foundation, take soil and burn bricks, and build a building. Isn't it ridiculous?"

As soon as this was said, almost everyone in the tent except Sun Ce changed their faces. Yang Xiu frowned. "Lu Wenmo, you are a little too exaggerated. Why did Confucianism dig its own foundation? Judging from what you mean, isn't Confucianism even worse than Legalism?"

Lu Cui looked at Sun Ce and saw that Sun Ce's face was calm and he felt very calm. Yang Xiufen was special and a representative of Confucianism. His words would inevitably arouse Yang Xiu's opposition. If Sun Ce took care of Yang Xiu's face, he could not say it anymore. If Sun Ce did not express his opinion, he could continue to rush forward and be a vanguard, break the situation that had always been unclear, clarify the uniqueness of Dawu, and make a contribution.

Only by daring to be the first in the world can you excel.

Lu Cui bowed to Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu was not Chen Lin, he could not afford to offend him. The etiquette he should have must be. "Yang Jun is the chief clerk of the army. How dare you ask Yang Jun, the people live and work in peace and contentment, what is the basis for the army to defeat the enemy?"

Yang Xiu's eyes flashed slightly, and he felt a little regretful. But now that things have come to this, he couldn't help but answer. "Of course it's money and food."

"That's right. Even the people who are ignorant know that they have money and food, and they are not panicked. If they have no money and no food, even if they have morality, how much can they support? The people who pay money and food are hard-earned and hard-won. Those who govern should be careful to make money and increase revenue and reduce expenditure, so that they can accumulate and achieve a well-off life. Confucianism has no way to make money, but there are all kinds of rituals and ethics. A gentleman should be content with poverty and enjoy the way, but he has to take advantage of the etiquette to comply with etiquette, his words and deeds are separated, and his name and truth are contrary to the truth. The Master obeys the etiquette, Yan Hui buried him, there are few true gentlemen, and there are many hypocrites. Isn't this the root of self-digging?"
