Chapter 826: Counterattack
Getting started with a sound.
The Wanshou Palace was ready, and then Feng drove up and headed towards Zhengde Palace.
Zhengde Hall, all civil and military officials are ready.
Chen Kaizhi knelt down after the desk with his head held high, his expression calm and unsightly.
Chen Wuji seemed a little irritable, and looked around and his handsome face was full of anxiety.
The ministers in the hall saw that the Empress Dowager had not arrived yet, and they were all whispering and discussing something.
Many great scholars, scholars and students thought it was their first time to enter the court, but their expressions were tense and they did not seem relaxed.
After silence, finally, someone sang outside.
"The Empress Dowager is here."
After these six words, the Empress Dowager came slowly with the support of the eunuch.
Chen Wuji stared at the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager looked at him without squinting, ignoring everyone's eyes.
After she slowly ascended to the seat, she looked around and saw that the woman actually felt solemn and majestic.
The Empress Dowager looked around everyone, then pursed her lips and said slowly: "Today, I invited many respected old gentlemen to come here, for the sake of a controversy." She smiled: "I believe most of the thirteen chapters of Chen Zi have read it. The Ai family is a woman. I dare not judge whether this book is good or bad, but recently, there have been many rumors, saying that what is wrong with the classics and the King of Beijing actually rebelled against Confucian classics. These many discussions are really unpleasant."
"Since that's the case, then let's just discuss it. The Ai family invited the gentlemen to fulfill the wish of King Beijing. King Beijing, what do you think?"
Her eyes fell on Chen Kaizhi.
Chen Kaizhi curled his lips and smiled: "I would like to discuss it."
"Very good." The Empress Dowager nodded: "The Ai family knows the knowledge of King Beijing, and all gentlemen are also great scholars who are well-read in poetry and books. So, today, a woman who is ignorant in the Ai family will not talk much. Let's listen to the noble opinions of all the ministers, King Beijing, you start the show first?"
She said it was very simple.
You found this by yourself, and it has nothing to do with me. If something happens, you won’t blame me.
This is her cleverness. She is obviously all arranged by her, but she is still an outsider and looks like she doesn't care about her.
Chen Kaizhi shook his head at the Empress Dowager of the Emperor, then smiled humbly, "I am a junior, so please ask the public to start the show first."
As he said that, he smiled and sat back on his seat.
These great scholars were already ready to go, and they had already received the news. Today, Japan is trying to find a lot of things and discuss the strengths and weaknesses with Chen Kaizhi.
But now Chen Kaizhi asked them to start the show first, which made them hesitate, looked at each other and looked at each other, hoping that someone could stand up.
After a long time, someone coughed and smiled at Chen Kaizhi and saluted: "Yang Wenming had met King Beijing."
Chen Kaizhi stood up and bowed and returned: "Sir, don't be polite."
The civil and military officials held their breath and seemed to be looking forward to this grand event.
Although this is a group fight, the result is almost doomed.
Many people have heard of this Yang Wenming. He once had an article that was very popular. Then he set up academies in the suburbs of Beijing to recruit disciples, and many of them were outstanding.
Yang Wenming smiled and said, "I don't have to ask for advice on only one thing. Among the thirteen chapters of Chen Zi, the one who focuses the most is the unity of knowledge and action. This line is hard work. Scholars can't even read enough. How can they spend time working? Is it because I want to know the quality of the vegetables, but I still have to go to the kitchen personally? Mencius said: A gentleman is not willing to see his life and die; he hears his voice and cannot bear to eat his meat. Therefore, a gentleman is far away from the kitchen. If we talk about this, wouldn't it be wrong for Saint Meng?"
"Then, if Saint Meng is not wrong, a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, so why should scholars practice it? The world's knowledge is as vast as the sea, so the saints say that there must be my teacher in three people's way; but knowledge also has good and bad, for example, if you can do things, a gentleman is willing to do it, this is practical work; but if you can't do things, do it, does a gentleman need to practice it in order to gain knowledge? Therefore, I don't think that although Chen Zi's Thirteen Chapters advocate Confucianism and Law, it actually deviates from the original intention of the saint. Your Highness's book is also a masterpiece, but if your mind is not right, it will inevitably mislead people's children and make people laugh."
He was very rude in criticizing Chen Kaizhi, so he almost pointed at Chen Kaizhi's nose and scolded Chen Kaizhi as a remnant of his sons.
This was the first time Chen Kaizhi heard such a situation, even such sharp words, but he had been prepared for a long time. He would not be too polite if he was prepared.
Therefore, Chen Kaizhi was not angry, but listened to him with a smile and nodded: "I don't know if there is any other master who wants to speak freely."
Yang Wenming frowned slightly and couldn't help but say, "Why don't your highness answer now?"
Chen Kaizhi said: "Because I hope to answer it at once, otherwise, if everyone asks questions, would I still answer them one by one? If so, I am afraid I can't finish answering today."
Chen Kaizhi's reason is very reasonable.
Moreover, his tone was gentle, and there was no rude on his face.
But his answer made Yang Wenming a little annoyed.
What does this mean? Chen Kaizhi disdains to answer him, and it is more like saying, "You guys go together, I'm in a hurry."
Yang Wenming was a great scholar after all, and he was still a little angry when he was so neglected.
But he had no choice but to take Chen Kaiyi's slightest way, so he stared obediently and stepped aside.
Chen Kaizhi's "arrogant" tone made many great scholars feel angry. Scholars are a little arrogant. Some people looked cold and said, "I have a question to learn from Zhu Mao."
He claimed that he would definitely be the academic title of Yansheng Gongfu.
Chen Kaizhi is a student, and I think he should be a student.
Chen Kaizhi looked at him with a smile and said lightly: "May I ask."
Zhu Mao said: "In the 13th chapter of Chen Zi, the logic is not clear. For example, the 11th chapter also mentions scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, but says that no scholars, peasants, industry and commerce are not governed; no farmers, no living people; no workers, no products cannot be abundant; no merchants, make the people not rich. Scholars, peasants, industry and commerce are the cheapest, but why do they become no merchants here, but the people cannot be rich? What is this? Although in the book, merchants are added to the end, but His Highness actually polished merchants so beautifully. What is this intention? Huainan Zizhong said: Therefore, people do not have officials, officials do not have affairs, scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, and different states, so farmers and farmers speak with strength, scholars and commerce, craftsmanship and craftsmanship and commerce speak with numbers; merchants seek profit, and craftsmanship and commerce speak with numbers, because counting numbers is extremely despicable, which is a big departure from the original intention of the saints Confucius. King Beijing has ever heard of saints saying numbers?"
Chen Kaizhi nodded: "I understand, then, is there anyone else to say?"
Zhu Mao originally thought that Chen Kaizhi might be angry and eventually argued with him if he criticized him more severely.
But Chen Kaizhi calmly turned his head and didn't seem to argue with him at all.
At this time, the great scholars finally became a little popular, and some people simply stood up and laughed: "Haha, what else can I argue about in this book of rebellious scriptures? This book is full of nonsense, bad people's minds, and people who write books can be said to have ulterior motives. This is to shake the foundation of my Confucian school for thousands of years. If this book is popular, it will be the time when rituals and music are broken."
Someone also said: "This book is no different from the books that are bad-minded by the remnants of the sons, but this book is just in the name of a saint. Such behavior is the most harmful and despicable, because if it is the forbidden book of the remnants of the sons, the scholars with noble character will not ignore it, but this book will cause the greatest harm."
"It can be said that this book is worthless and is a completely misleading book."
Someone made this joke and his words became more and more unpleasant. He seemed to think that Chen Kaizhi could not do anything to them, so he naturally sold his energy and started to laugh and scold.
Chen Kaizhi had no expression on his face, as if he was listening in a slight manner. Seeing everyone scolding, he just laughed it off.
All the civil and military officials in the court were expressionless, which was like a critical meeting. The dignified regent was scolded so much that his prestige... I was afraid it would be surging thousands of miles away.
Chen Wuji's face became more and more angry, but he was still trying hard to endure it. His hands hidden in his cuffs were clenched into fists, and his whole body was trembling faintly.
The Empress Dowager just listened with a smile, not commenting on it.
"Okay." Chen Kaizhi finally spoke, and he looked around: "Now, can I say it?"
He suddenly said, and suddenly calmed the hall.
Everyone is actually waiting for Chen Kaizhi to fight back, because once he explains, everyone can find out the loopholes in Chen Kaizhi's words and continue to criticize them.
Chen Kaizhi smiled and stood up, walked to Yang Wenming for a long time, and was silent: "You said Chen Zi's Thirteen Gentleman is far away from the kitchen, so dare you ask, Mr. Yang eats meat?"
"Food." Yang Wenming knew what Chen Kaizhi wanted to say when he heard Chen Kaizhi's question. Then he added: "People should eat grains and eat meat. Those who do not eat meat are those who are transformed from others. Scholars eat meat because they are in the world."
Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "A gentleman can't bear to see the grief of animal husbandry when she dies, so she can't bear to listen. A gentleman can't bear to see the animals when they die, so she can't bear to listen. So, the gentleman stays away from the kitchen, but also eats meat. So, Mr. Yang, since the gentleman has so much unbearable, he prefers to eat meat, and makes the chefs slaughter so many livestock, is this still a gentleman?"
