Chapter 317 Debate between ancient and modern! Huan Rui is tough and tit for tat!
"Fuck!"
Liu Bian couldn't help but thought, and asked secretly: "Teacher, what Kong Rong said seems quite reasonable. Have I been deceived by him?"
"How do you say that?"
The Military Advisor Alliance tried to use simpler language to explain to Liu Bian: "Judging from the current development path alone, what Kong Rong said is indeed correct. After all, it is relatively empty."
"Ah? This..."
Liu Bian couldn't understand: "How to say it?"
The Alliance of Military Advisors said softly: "Kong Rong's logical thinking is correct, but he attributes all the credit to Wang Hua. In short, it is because of Wang Hua that Nanyang became a world of great harmony, thus ruling the troubled times."
"Next, Mr. Bian, you should promote Wang Hua in China and China, thus entering the 'Peaceful Age'. Finally, Bian Ye, you should promote Wang Hua to the world, making the Yi and Di submit to Wang Hua, thus entering the 'Peaceful Age'.
Achieve great unity.”
"And the most critical issue is..."
Immediately, the military advisor alliance turned to the focus and asked a soul-level rhetorical question: "What is the king's transformation? This is actually a general concept. From the literal meaning, it is the king's education."
"And what is enlightenment? It is the comprehensive application of tangible and intangible means such as political and religious culture, educational influence, and environmental influence. It includes not only the emperor's decree, but also the instructions and behavioral guidance of officials at all levels."
"It should be said that all the government orders you made in Nanyang, Mr. Bian, are all external manifestations of Wang Hua, including the order of favor, the order of favor, the fish in the rice field, and the high-tube transfer car. They all belong to Wang Hua."
"It's just that your kingship, Mr. Bian, played a positive role and gave the people a sign of a harmonious world. Therefore, Kong Rong forcibly combined the concept of governing the country with the modern text and classics, and the current debate was born."
"But if it were anyone else, his decrees would also be Wang-like. But if they did not have a good effect or even had a counterproductive effect, then Kong Rong would have another explanation."
"Don't forget."
The Alliance of Military Advisors emphasized again: "What Jin Wenjing is good at is talking about subtle meanings. He can derive a truth from one word, and even use this truth to make a long speech, which will make you dizzy."
hiss-!
Liu Bian was surprised and took a breath.
He thought about it carefully.
This seems to be true.
If it hadn't been for the warning from experts from the Military Advisor Alliance, I might have been deceived by Kong Rong.
Of course, even so, Liu Bian still had some doubts: "But teacher, the 'era of decline', 'era of prosperity' and 'era of peace' that Kong Rong mentioned seems quite reasonable."
The Military Advisor Alliance laughed lightly: "It should be said that if Bian Ye is...
The time is right."
"However, the .asxs. of Jinwen Jing is not the era of Bianye, but the historical progress of Confucius's era. What was the Spring and Autumn Period like? The conquest of ritual and music came from the retainers. This was a process from rule to chaos.
Completely opposite to the current description.”
"So Mr. Ben..."
The Military Advisor Alliance once again reminded: "The fundamental of this debate is to choose what is beneficial to you, but you must be able to discover what his truest intentions are and what his loopholes are."
Well......
Liu Bian was completely confused.
With his knowledge of ancient and modern scriptures, he has not reached this level: "Isn't this trying to embarrass me to death? Fortunately, there are experts here, otherwise I would have been fooled to death by these Confucian scholars. I really don't know who those time-traveling people are.
How did you survive until the finale?"
Liu Bian understands clearly!
Now these modern scholars can flatter you in this way, and in the future, they can use this method to pick on you and force you to do things you don't want to do.
.
When the time comes, make a prophecy today, and make a small statement tomorrow, saying that you have been immoral and should be punished, otherwise the people will be in dire straits. Once the world changes, you will be the chief culprit.
hehe!
Your second uncle!
Labor and management will not be fooled by you.
After thinking about this, Liu Bian breathed a long sigh of relief and tried to calm down: "The modern text is really confusing and too nonsense. It seems that the ancient text is better."
"Master Ben, please don't think like that."
The Alliance of Military Advisors quickly reminded them and solemnly said: "Each ancient and modern scriptures have their own advantages and disadvantages. If the experts guess correctly, this old guy Huan Rui is by no means an easy person. It will be his turn to debate later. Just listen carefully."
Already."
"Anyway, remember one thing. We are here with our ears today. The judging is left to Zheng Xuan, Sima Hui and others. You must not speak at will, otherwise you will be caught by these guys and you will have to make a lot of things."
"good!"
Liu Bian responded quickly: "Teacher, don't worry, I won't speak easily."
Military Advisor Alliance: "That's right! Professionals do professional things. With Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan here, these guys will never be able to get up. You can just wait for the final result."
Liu Bian breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little at ease.
He finally understands!
Why do experts choose a judging panel that can handle the situation?
Even if you know the answer to some things, you shouldn't say them out of your mouth. Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan and others will naturally solve it in their own way among the Confucian scholars.
At best, I only need to deal with four people including Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, etc. The difficulty level is naturally much smaller than facing hundreds of Confucian scholars, all of whom hold their own opinions.
Next.
Liu Bian listened to the debate with peace of mind.
After a long time, we finally arrived at Huan Rui's second debate on the Ancient Classics.
This is an old man who is not inferior to Lu Zhi in age. He is at least sixty years old by visual inspection. His beard and hair are all white, but he is energetic and extraordinary. No wonder Kong Rong regards him as his opponent.
Liu Bian calmed down and listened attentively.
but......
This time, Huan Rui did not quote scriptures, but directly started to provoke a fight.
His eyes passed over Kong Rong, fell on Bian Rang beside him, and said in a cold voice: "Since you have prophesied with one step and warned of disaster, then Huan should repay him with this."
"The Spring and Autumn Annals records 142 disasters, but it actually elaborates on 138 of them. Even the places in the Spring and Autumn that are not disasters are treated as disasters. It is simply unreasonable."
hiss-!
All the Confucian students in Yutang Hall took a deep breath.
None of them seemed to have thought that Huan Rui would not speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the atmosphere of the debate would reach a climax.
Even Liu Bian, the leader, could not help but be stunned.
He really didn't expect that Huan Rui would dare to say such sharp words as "This is unreasonable."
In an instant, the eyes of all the Confucian scholars in the hall were all focused on Huan Rui. The other person even hesitated for a moment before he defended Kong Rong, then stood up and prepared to reply.
But alas...
"Kong Wenju!"
However, Taiwei Yang Biao stopped him in court: "Your time has passed. It is Huan Ziming's time now. During this period, you are not allowed to interrupt. If you violate it, you will be deprived of the right to debate."
Kong Rong suppressed his anger and slowly sat back down, but the fierce light in his eyes was like a sharp sword, stabbing the old guy Huan Rui back and forth a hundred and eighty times.
But it seems that even so, it is still difficult to eliminate Kong Rong's great hatred. After all, what he is most proficient in is "Spring and Autumn Gongyang Zhuan", and He Jia's "Spring and Autumn Gongyang Zhuan Exegesis" is even more popular with Kong Rong. Respected.
Huan Rui called He Xiu by his first name, which was already disrespectful, and he also cursed with such obscene words, "This is unreasonable." This was tantamount to insulting Kong Rong's idol.
How could Kong Rong not be angry!
But he was angry. According to the rules, Kong Rong was not allowed to speak, which really drove him to pieces.
If he dared to speak, Kong Rong could greet all the eighteen generations of Huan Rui's ancestors.
However......
Huan Rui was calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant, as if he was completely unafraid.
When Kong Rong was filled with resentment and unwilling to sit down, he put forward his argument and refuted it in court: "For example, in the fifth year of Zhaogong's reign, the Spring and Autumn Annals recorded: In Wuchen, Shu Gong's commander defeated Ju's commander in Baoquan."
"This matter is so simple. It's just that Mou Yi, the traitor of the Ju State, took three cities and defected to the Lu State. However, Lu Zhaogong was not in the country. The people of the Lu State accepted Mou Yi, and the Ju State raised troops to attack the Lu State. Later, he was defeated by the Lu State. The country was defeated at Xu(pēn) Spring, that’s all.”
"Xuquan, the place name."
"But......"
As the conversation changed, Huan Rui spoke righteously and in a loud voice: "How can I explain it? He said: At this time, Lu Zhaogong was not in the country, and the ministers accepted traitors from other countries without authorization, and even raised troops to fight because of it, which caused the anger of heaven and the resentment of people."
"All the people in the State of Lu were complaining, and their resentment was simmering. As a result, a fountain appeared out of thin air on the battlefield, saying, 'I want to repay people tomorrow with the meaning of retribution.' It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!"
"And in the "Chun Qiu Zuo Shi Zhuan", it is recorded that the name of the place called Fuquan, Fuquan, is not some subtle meaning, nor is it a warning from God to us, that's all."
"also......"
Huan Rui continued: "It is recorded in the Spring and Autumn Annals: In the first month of the sixteenth year of Duke Yin of Lu, two strange things happened one after another in the Song Dynasty. One was that five meteorites fell from the sky, and the other was that there were six yì birds lying upside down. Flying over the capital of the Song Dynasty."
"How can Hexiu explain it?"
"The stone is the symbol of yin virtue, and the kite is the bird of moral integrity! When the stone falls from the sky and the kite flies upside down, does it mean that Song Xianggong will be defeated?"
"And Duke Xianggong of Song Dynasty did not listen to Ziyu's honest words and acted on his own will. He was captured by Chu State in the fifth year and completely defeated in the sixth year. Is this the symbolic meaning of 'Five Stones and Six Eagles'?"
"In my opinion, this is just a comment taken out of context. Is it a bit alarmist and unreasonable to forcefully combine them to explain?"
"Meteorites have been around since ancient times, and hawks flying upside down are nothing more than strong winds. How come they are found here at Song Xianggong's place, and they have such profound significance, even related to the future and destiny?"
"snort!"
He hummed softly.
The critical attack of contempt is displayed to the extreme.
Liu Bian heard some truth and secretly communicated with the military advisor alliance: "This Huan Rui is not bad, at least there are not so many twists and turns. He is indeed narrating and seeking the truth of history. This is worthy of praise."
"Master Ben, don't worry."
The Alliance of Military Advisors was very patient: "Huan Rui dared to stab Jin Wenjing in front of the court. He is definitely not an economical person. When this old guy shows his fangs and claws, I am afraid he will not be inferior to Kong Rong in the slightest."
"kindness."
Liu Bian thought: "Don't worry, I'm not that easy to be impulsive."
The Alliance of Military Advisors was satisfied: "Very good! You must keep calm, the time has only passed less than half now."
Liu Bian smiled inwardly: "Until the end, I will never jump to conclusions easily, let alone talk nonsense."
Military Advisor Alliance: "Yes, that's exactly what it is."
Sure enough!
Huan Rui's next words were each more vicious than the last.
He started from attacking disasters and prophecies, and even moved to subtle words and righteousness. In just half a quarter of an hour, all the firepower of Jinwen Jingshu scholars was concentrated on him alone.
However......
Not long after the gong sounded.
He immediately turned to concluding remarks: "The kingly policy mentioned by Kong Wenju just now is actually avoiding the important and minimizing the important, and is vague and does not fall on the key points at all."
"What is the content of His Majesty's grace order? It is the abolition of oral taxes and calculated taxes that alleviates the pressure on the people. In the "Book of Rites of Zhou", the court only collects these two taxes from idlers, which is similar to His Majesty's.
.”
"Furthermore, His Majesty just recently announced a decree to publicize private land. This is also consistent with the equalization of land in "Zhou Li", but it is slightly different. This is a successful example of Tuogu's restructuring."
"If it weren't for your Majesty to govern the country with the ancient classics, how could Nanyang be what it is today, and how could the people be as prosperous as they are today? If your Majesty could insist on relying on ancient scriptures to reform the system and revitalize the Han Dynasty, it would be no problem."
Damn it!
Liu Bian was surprised again.
Today, he has completely refreshed his shameless bottom line.
Kong Rong forcibly presented his achievements as a model of governance for modern classics, while Huan Rui even linked the decree to publicize private fields with the Tuogu restructuring.
At this moment, Huan Rui directly nipped Liu Bian's good impression of Gu Wen Jing in the bud. Kong Rong was shameless enough, but you, Huan Rui, were even worse.
Fortunately, Liu Bian had been mentally prepared, otherwise by the end of the day, he would have been deceived by these two people and his views would have collapsed. Anyway, it was all their reasons. No matter what, they were right.
"Master Ben."
At this moment, the Military Advisor Alliance asked tentatively: "How do you feel?"
Liu Bian said without hesitation: "It's so shameless!"
"Ha ha!"
The Military Advisor Alliance laughed endlessly: "It seems that you no longer need experts to explain to you. There is no problem with the logical thinking of these two people, but they are all backward reasoning and untenable. Change the place, change the person,
It won’t work right away.”
"After all, it is impossible for him to have fish in the rice fields, and it is even less possible for him to think of using the abolition of oral taxes and calculated taxes as an opportunity to pave the way for the next series of routines to nationalize farmland."
"This thing seems simple, but if you make one wrong step, you will surely fall into a place of eternal disaster. At that time, these will become examples of failure, and you need to change your rhetoric."
Liu Bian sighed with emotion: "The mouths of these guys are really hard to deal with!"
The military advisor alliance smiled lightly: "Master Bian, don't worry, let's take our time and surrender them all sooner or later."
Liu Bian nodded with a firm attitude: "We must deal with these guys!"
"actually......"
Speaking of this, the Military Advisor Alliance said softly: "If you look at it objectively, whether it is ancient scriptures or modern scriptures, they all have their advantages."
"Today's literature advocates unification, respecting the king, and establishing the absolute authority of the monarch. This is of great benefit to the imperial power, and we should accept it."
"Moreover, in terms of the official selection system, modern literature advocates the use of debates, examinations and other methods for selection. Compared with ancient literature, which advocates the system of ministers and the hereditary succession of officials, it is more than a little progress."
"However, modern literature advocates that mountains and rivers are free from restrictions and that all salt and iron belong to the people, while ancient literature advocates that mountains and rivers are owned by the government and others are not allowed to use them, let alone exploit them privately. Ancient scriptures have more advantages."
"..."
"Anyway..."
The Alliance of Military Advisors made the final conclusion: "The advantage of ancient and modern scriptures is that in politics, it requires the monarch's authority to be strengthened at all times, which is beneficial to Bian Ye."
"The advantage of the ancient literature is in the economy. The modern literature has a vague shadow of a free economy, while the ancient literature advocates complete monopoly, especially in production materials such as salt and iron, farmland, mountains and rivers."
"Therefore, the blending of ancient and modern scriptures is actually very skillful. It cannot be successfully solved by just holding two debates. Instead, it needs to be guided from a higher point."
Awesome!
Liu Bian was so impressed that he said: "With five thousand years of history, the Alliance of Military Advisors can naturally stand higher. I leave it all to you."
The Military Advisor Alliance smiled lightly: "Don't worry, with the experts from the Military Advisor Alliance here, nothing will be a problem."
******
Yuzhou, Runan.
Pingyu County.
Cao Jun's camp.
Central army, big tent.
Cao Cao stood in front of the sand table, looked at the map that had been relabeled, and smiled with satisfaction: "Look, Pei, Liang, and Lu have all surrendered. We have wiped out Yuzhou in just one month.
"
"yes."
"This is incredible."
Cheng Li was filled with emotion and his eyes were full of light: "But general, we must not underestimate the enemy. News came back from Nanyang yesterday that Chang'an has taken action again."
"snort!"
Cao Cao seemed to have expected it, and snorted disdainfully: "If I guessed correctly, Liu Dai, Tao Qian, and Liu Yao must have been promoted, and they also divided our territory, right?"
"right!"
Cheng Li let out a scornful laugh: "Everything was as expected by the general. Liu Dai, Tao Qian, and Liu Yao became state shepherds, and Liu Dai had thousands of people under his command and was promoted to Yingchuan County Governor. Guo Xing and Zhou Ze were promoted to governor of Yingchuan County.
He was promoted to be the governor of Lu County and Liang County."
"As for Tao Qian, his general Cao Bao was promoted to the governor of Pei County, and Liu Yao's general Zhang Ying was promoted to the governor of Runan County. Our Yuzhou was completely divided."
Cao Cao didn't take Dong Zhuo seriously at all, and waved his hand: "The old tricks are not worth mentioning. No matter Liu Dai, Liu Yao, or Tao Qian, how dare they attack us easily."
"The jade seal in your Majesty's hand represents the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. We have always been the only ones to beat people. How dare others attack us, otherwise they will end up like Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao."
Cheng Li said proudly: "That's true, not to mention that we currently have a really strong army. Even if we exclude the field army, we still have 60,000 to 70,000 people."
"yes."
Cao Cao was so moved that he couldn't help but nod his head: "Our journey along the way has not been easy. As long as we have these 60,000 to 70,000 people, our road in the future will surely become longer and longer."
Cheng Li: "..."
The two of them were thinking about the future.
"Report—!"
Suddenly, a long announcement sounded outside the hall.
Cao Cao looked up.
However, he saw some soldiers hurriedly entering the tent. He leaned over and said, "General, Xi Xian, the newly appointed governor of Runan, has arrived. He is currently outside the camp. I don't know, general..."
"Xixian?"
Cao Cao naturally knew that Xi Xian was born as a servant of Shang Shu.
Although, he is currently assigned to Runan and is only a county guard.
But Cao Cao deeply understood that whether it was Xun Yu, Xi Xian, or Guo Jia, the future was limitless.
"Yes, exactly!"
"Damn it!"
Cao Cao chewed secretly and hurriedly said: "Why did you come to report? Zhongde, quickly summon all the soldiers and ask them to come to the central army to listen to the order."
Cheng Li cupped his hands and said, "Here."
Immediately.
The two of them came out of the military tent and greeted each other quickly: "Haha, is it possible that your Excellency just has a talent for drama?"
Xi Xian bowed his head and said with a happy face: "That's right."
Cao Cao waved his hand: "Let's go back to camp."
"good!"
Xi Xian entered the tent and waited for a while.
Not long after.
All the officers and soldiers from all armies rushed to the military tent.
Xi Xian then unfolded the edict and said loudly: "Cao Cao and his subordinates have accepted the edict."
All the soldiers immediately raised their hands and clasped their fists: "Here."
"I have heard that those who have meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and those who are guilty must be punished. Today, Cao Cao, the vigorous military general, has been ordered to punish the thieves and win consecutive battles to enhance the prestige of our country and to stabilize the country. I highly commend him and promote him to the general of the military guard. The rest of the officers and soldiers under his command
, everyone will be rewarded."
"Your Majesty, Cao Cao, accepts the decree."
Handing the imperial edict to Cao Cao, Xi Xian bowed and handed it over: "Congratulations, general. Congratulations, general. In just one month, you wiped out the entire Yuzhou. It's really an outstanding achievement."
"where!"
Cao Cao hurriedly returned the gift and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to the imperial court, Wolf Cavalry, Leopard Cavalry, and Qiqiao Pavilion. I, Cao Cao, really got a big advantage."
"Why should the general be so humble?"
How could Xi Xian not know the battle process? He sincerely praised: "The battle of Xinji and the battle of Changping, although there were help from the imperial troops and horses, they were all the general's own strategies."
When he was in Xinji County, Cao Cao used a trick and saw through his opponent's probing tactics, so he was able to continue fighting in Xinji County and captured Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao's 40,000 troops in one fell swoop.
During the Battle of Changping, Cao Cao accurately predicted Yan Xiang's retreat route, so that he could set up an ambush in advance and kill all of them before entering Zheqiu City.
These are not the achievements that cold tools can bring. What they exercise are all Cao Cao's command and overall planning skills.
It's obvious!
Cao Cao deserved this promotion and deserved it: "Oh, by the way, Zhicai is now the prefect of Runan. I guess he will end up in Pingyu, right?"
"kindness."
Xi Xian nodded: "I won't leave for now. We will have to cooperate with each other in the future."
Cao Cao handed over his hand: "I, Cao Cao, must rely on your support!"
Xi Xiandan smiled: "Don't worry, I will do my duty."
"good!"
Cao Cao was overjoyed and tried to invite: "In that case, don't leave tonight. I, Cao Cao, will take care of you. Let's have a nice chat, how about it?"
"It's my wish, but I dare not invite you!"
Xi Xian also admired Cao Cao very much, how could he refuse such a request: "But before we start, there is something else that needs to be told to the general."
"What's the matter?"
"Dian Wei has to be sent to Nanyang. Your Majesty will make your own decision on how to arrange it."
"Okay! I will write to Your Majesty personally."
