Therefore, for the overall interests of the Qingliu forces, they must support Gu Xiancheng.
What does it mean to sacrifice your own reputation a little? They are all gentlemen.
Several people bravely climbed the steps and walked to the platform at the entrance of Dacheng Hall.
At this time, Gu Xiancheng suddenly said "Ah", sat down directly, and then began to meditate with his eyes closed.
Others gathered around Gu Xiancheng, as if they were protecting the law.
These people immediately blocked the entrance to Dacheng Hall, making it difficult for other scholars to enter the hall and they could only gather around at the foot of the steps outside the hall.
Li Sancai said loudly: "I, Li Sancai from the Ministry of Rites, and my friend Gu Jingyang were reading scriptures recently, and suddenly a difficult problem came to mind.
Last night, I suddenly dreamed of Mr. Guishan, a great scholar from the Song Dynasty. In his dream, Mr. Guishan asked him to come and worship Saint Kong today.
Looking at you now, you seem to have realized something in front of the saint's palace, so I boldly ask you not to disturb me."
Unable to defeat him again and again, the others could only watch from below for the time being.
Fortunately, this meditation did not take long. Gu Xiancheng quickly opened his eyes, looked at the sky, and recited:
"In the first month and third month of King Chun, the Duke and Zhu Yi's father made an alliance in Mi.
In the fifth month of summer, Zheng Beke was sent to Yan.
In the seventh month of autumn, the King of Heaven sent his chief minister to return to Duke Hui, and Zhongzi took over. In the ninth month, he and the people of the Song Dynasty allied themselves at the place of residence.
On the tenth day of winter, in the second month of the twelfth month, I came to offer sacrifices to the uncle. The prince benefited from his troops and died."
Anyone who has a little knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics will be able to tell that what Gu Xiancheng was reciting was the first chapter of the Spring and Autumn Annals, "The Year of Yin Gong".
I just don’t know why I’m memorizing this article. Have I realized the truth?
Gu Xiancheng added: "The sages wrote about the Spring and Autumn Period, which is a subtle statement of great meaning. I can't understand it clearly. What is the main purpose of the Spring and Autumn Period and where is it reflected?
Yesterday, I received a dream from Mr. Guishan, and today I received the sage’s shadow in Dacheng Hall, and I suddenly realized it!
The main purpose of the Spring and Autumn Period is in the first chapter! The first word "天" in the whole sutra highlights the true meaning of the sage!"
Everyone recalled that the first word "天" in the Spring and Autumn Sutra appeared in the third sentence, and the original sentence was "The king of heaven sent Zai Yi to return to Duke Hui, and Zhongzi's successor".
The explanation is that King Ping of Zhou sent people to deliver funeral objects to Duke Hui and Zhongzi of Lu.
But at this time, Hui Gong's funeral was over, and Zhongzi was not dead yet, so the funeral objects were not suitable.
So the implicit meaning is that King Zhou Ping's move is very unethical.
The first chapter of the Spring and Autumn Annals says that King Ping of Zhou was not in compliance with etiquette and law. The deeper meaning requires various interpretations by experts.
Gu Xiancheng still sat without standing up, and said as if he was very excited:
"Here we need to look at the word "Heaven". There is a way to cover the world. It does not mean that the world has a way for itself. Only when the king leads the people to have a way, then there is a way;
There is no way in the world. It is because the world itself is without way. But if the king leads the way, then there is no way.
Before the word "王", the word "天" is mentioned. Doesn't it mean that the world is commanded by the king, and the king is commanded by heaven. If he can obey the command of heaven, he is the one who has the way, but if he cannot lead it, he is without the way.
The main purpose of the Spring and Autumn Period, the true meaning of the saints, is in the first chapter! It is in this sentence! It is in this single heavenly word!"
Li Sancai turned around and shouted: "Gu Jun was awakened from somewhere today and finally understood it!"
The atmosphere was very good, and the readers in the audience were talking a lot. This exegesis is still very sophisticated and worth pondering.
Just as the atmosphere was progressing further, a voice of laughter suddenly came from the hall, "That's all!"
Everyone turned their heads and looked into the hall. Was there anyone else inside?
Suddenly, another broom flew out of the hall and landed next to Gu Xiancheng.
Although it didn't hit Gu Xiancheng, it still shocked Gu Xiancheng and he stood up subconsciously.
Then a figure appeared from the temple, holding another broom.
If you look closely, you will see that this man is tall, wearing a coarse short coat, and is covered in dust, but his majesty cannot be blocked.
After seeing the other party's face clearly, Gu Xiancheng seemed to be even more frightened, "Why are you here?"
The tall figure nodded and said: "I am just a sweeper at the Master's Temple, but when I heard Mr. Jingyang's interpretation of the scriptures, I felt nothing more than that."
This is not Suzhou, and there are still many people who don’t know who that tall figure is.
I just thought, is it possible that even a sweeper in the Imperial College dares to come forward to refute a great scholar?
I spent most of the two days running around on the road. It was so fragmented. It would be good if I could write a few thousand words. It will be normal when I get home tomorrow night.
