Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 345: Confucianism and Legalism
Chapter 345 Confucianism and Legalism
"Yes, teacher."
"Good boy! Sit down!"
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.
A group of students sat down, their gazes were fierce just now, but now they became incomparably resentful, just like that grieving woman in a boudoir.
These rising stars have actually seen what kind of tricks Zhang Fei is playing, but they have nothing to do about it, and they have to obediently call him a teacher.
There is no way!
Because they really want to prove that Zhang Fei is not qualified to be their teacher.
And Zhang Fei just took advantage of their mentality to preemptively strike.
Because according to Confucianism, this etiquette is the most basic, if they don't even teach the most basic etiquette, no one will look down on them no matter how advanced their knowledge is.
That's what Yan Fu said just now.
Moral character is the most important thing. Talented and evil-minded, this kind of person is the scariest.
So the more they want to prove that Zhang Fei is not worthy of being a teacher, the first thing they need to prove is that they are a good student who respects teachers and respects morals and good character and learning.
Otherwise, it is crooked melon with split dates.
This was easily grasped by Zhang Fei.
The atmosphere is very embarrassing!
Yan Fu, who was outside the door, praised and criticized in secret: "The skill of Er's brush is really powerful!"
This is Er Bi's usual psychological warfare.
Sima Guang glanced at him, didn't make a sound, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It's not easy to calm down this group of people, especially Zhang Fei, who has no reputation at all. Easy to do.
Even if it's the art of Er's pen, it's okay!
Zhang Fei swept his eyes away and saw that they were dissatisfied, but they looked helpless, and felt secretly refreshed. He came to the edge of the podium, leaned slightly on the podium, and said relaxedly: "Just now Just kidding, don't take offense. In fact, I know that you are all the proud sons of heaven and the pillars of the future country. Letting me be your teacher with a pen is really wronged you. If I were you, I will be angry too.
So, don't take me as a teacher, and don't take it as a class, just take it as an academic exchange. It happens that we are about the same age. What do you think? "
Everyone's eyes brightened and they were overjoyed. This was what they were looking forward to. If they were overwhelmed by the gift of teachers and students, they would not be able to perform well, but they were full of suspicion and made eye contact with others.
It seems that they are asking each other, is there a trap in this?
Zhang Fei, who had already gained the upper hand, suddenly took a step back and gave up this advantage, which is really confusing.
Yan Fu, Sima Guang, and Fu Bi were all a little surprised.
Zhang Fei asked again: "Is it not good?"
Cai Jing cupped his hands suddenly and said: "Students should obey the teacher's orders."
The rest of the people also surrendered.
You said it yourself.
If something happens in the future that doesn't respect the teacher, I will follow your teaching.
Zhang Fei gave Cai Jing a look of approval, nodded and said: "Very good!"
"Let's go first!"
"Please step aside."
Everyone looked for the sound, but saw two men dressed as servants walking in carrying a wooden board.
It is Li Si and Long Wu.
What is this for?
People inside and out are curious.
"Put it here!"
Zhang Fei pointed to the edge of the podium.
The two put down the board and left.
Zhang Fei didn't explain why this thing is used, and said loudly: "Anyway, I was ordered to come here to teach you the law of law, so today we will exchange everyone's views on the law of law."
As he spoke, he took out a charcoal pencil from behind the wooden board and wrote the word "Fa" on the wooden board.
Zhao Xu suddenly realized, "So this wooden board is used for writing!"
Ye Zuqia suddenly asked: "Teacher, what word is this?"
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, "Fa."
Ye Zuqia said: "It turned out to be Fa, but the students thought it was Qia."
"Am I writing this badly?"
Zhang Fei couldn't help but took a few steps back and looked at it, this is obviously a method!
He really didn't have much confidence in his writing.
There was a burst of laughter.
Yan Fu and his group of scholar-bureaucrats kept shaking their heads. This is not a class.
Wang Anshi gloated and said, "I asked this kid to practice calligraphy a long time ago, but he just didn't listen. He really deserves to be laughed at."
"Hey, he is just a pen, and he can't ask too much."
"Which Erbi can't write better than him."
"Xu Zhongtu, your son-in-law's handwriting is written like this, don't you teach me?"
".!"
Xu Zunzhen was also shot while lying down.
As everyone knows, this is Zhang Fei's superb performance, because it is not written with a brush, it is still neat, but he shouldn't be in the Imperial College, and on this occasion, the writing is really unsightly.
You must know that in the Northern Song Dynasty, poorly written characters were more disgusting than disheveled clothes.
For example, Wang Anshi, he wrote good articles and handwriting, although he was a bit sloppy, no one said anything.
Zhang Fei coughed, "This board is a bit uneven, you just make it up."
All of a sudden, contemptuous eyes shot at Zhang Fei.
It's strange that the board is not flat, even if it is written on a stone, it will not be written like this.
Zhang Fei hurriedly changed the subject and asked, "When it comes to Fa, what is the first thing that comes to mind?"
"Han Feizi!"
"Li Kui!"
"Shang Yang!"
Hearing this series of names, Zhang Fei couldn't help but rolled his eyes a little bit, secretly thinking, it turned out that they were all a group of baby-level players. But he said: "Han Feizi, Shang Yang, and Li Kui are all the founders of Legalism. It seems that the first thing everyone thinks of is Legalism."
As he spoke, he added the word "family" after Fa, and asked casually, "What do you think of Legalism?"
Ye Zuqia immediately criticized: "Cruel and inhumane, tyrannical and fierce tigers are barbaric learning."
Many people outside the house nodded frequently.
Cai Bian slightly frowned and said: "Brother Ye's words are too arbitrary, each school of learning has its pros and cons, and the Legalists also have golden and jade words like 'no distinction between relatives and estrangements, no distinction between high and low, one must be judged by the law', which is a good way to govern the country. "
Ye Zuqia snorted and said: "As the saying goes, the poison of a tiger doesn't eat its offspring. If you don't make friends with each other, it's no different than a beast. This is an act of destroying humanity. No one in the legal family can do it. Don’t you think that Qin Xiaogong and Qin Shihuang didn’t kill innocent people indiscriminately? But how will Shang Yang and Han Feizi deal with it? It’s just a trick to fool the people, so there’s no talk of gold and jade, a good way to govern the country.”
Wang Anshi was upset when he heard it, he was about to move, and was about to step forward, Sima Guang grabbed him and said in a low voice: "This is not the courtroom, but the classroom, I won't allow you to be presumptuous."
Wang Anshi glared at him angrily, "I have never been presumptuous in court."
Zhao Xu heard the truth, but smiled without saying a word.
If you talk about scholars, someone will talk about Confucianism. The debate between Confucianism and Legalism has lasted for a long time, and there are endless debates in the classroom.
Like an outsider, Zhang Fei stood aside and didn't listen to what they were arguing about. He just watched them blushing and thought, it's really cool to be a teacher these days. He raised a controversial issue. Then you can wait for get out of class to end.
"I don't know what the teacher thinks about this?"
Suddenly a person asked.
"Huh?"
Zhang Fei was startled for a moment, looked for the sound, and saw that it was a young man, he couldn't help asking: "What did you say?"
The young man hesitated for a while, and said, "I don't know what the teacher thinks about this dispute between Confucianism and Legalism?"
As soon as the words came out, the classroom suddenly fell silent.
What just happened?
How can we kill each other.
Didn't we discuss it and agree to the outside world?
Ah! It's really unreasonable for this little Erbi to play tricks on us.
The awakened students immediately stopped killing each other and all looked at Zhang Fei.
Unexpectedly, there are people like me, wandering outside. Zhang Fei looked at the young man and asked, "What's your name?"
The young man said: "The student's name is Cai Jing, and the characters are long."
"Cai Caijing." Zhang Fei blinked, thinking to himself, is there any mistake, I just have a class, but I can also meet this treacherous official who has been notorious for thousands of years.
"Exactly."
Cai Jing asked: "The teacher knows the students?"
"Uh, I just think you got a good name." Zhang Fei said perfunctorily.
Cai Jing was confused, and asked again: "I don't know what the teacher thinks about this dispute between Confucianism and Legalism."
Zhang Fei sighed: "I think Legalism is better than Confucianism."
As soon as these words came out, there was a complete silence inside and outside the classroom.
Not one of those arguing just now dared to say that Legalism is better than Confucianism. They insist that Legalism also has merits.
After all, Confucianism was very strong in the Song Dynasty, and the Legalists could only understand it, but not express it.
Sima Guang is in a hurry. I asked you to teach law, but I didn't say I asked you to deny Confucianism. If you do this, you really can't be a teacher anymore.
Cai Jing looked happy, "The student is dull and doesn't understand the reason, I hope the teacher will enlighten me."
Zhang Fei said: "I was born in Erbi. I don't know how to reason. I can only speak the facts. As we all know, this legal school flourished in the Qin Dynasty. Since Shang Yang, there has only been one great Confucian who came to teach in Qin. Do you know who it is?" Who?"
"Xunzi."
"Exactly. But what about the result?"
"The result was unsuccessful."
"Good!"
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "In other words, in the Qin Dynasty at that time, Confucianism was considered to be on the verge of extinction. I was wrong."
"What the teacher said is not bad, but based on this, it can prove that Legalism is better than Confucianism? How can we talk about the demise of Qin?" Ye Zuqia asked.
"Don't worry, just listen to me." Zhang Fei smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether the Qin Dynasty's demise was due to the Legalists or not, but the Qin Dynasty's sweep of Liuhe and the whole world was based on the Legalists. Remember , is a complete Legalist.
Corresponding to this is that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dismissed hundreds of schools and only respected Confucianism. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also achieved great success, resulting in no royal court in Monan. So here comes the question, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, was the legalist culture in his country also on the verge of extinction? "
All the students were silent.
The scholar-bureaucrats outside the house were also stroking their beards and thinking.
Zhang Fei waited for a while, and said directly: "Qin Emperor Han Wu, one law and one Confucianism, but the Qin Dynasty dared to completely exterminate Confucianism, but he opposed it if Confucianism supported it, even if Confucianism advocated the relationship between father and son, oh, as What you said before, this is human nature, even the Legalists dare to deny it, they want to respect magic alone, the law is the father, the law is the mother, but you can still succeed, do you Confucians dare?
Looking at history, which dynasty dared to respect Confucianism just like the Qin State only respected magic. There are much more ways to apply Confucianism than to use Confucianism.
Confucianism cannot be separated from Legalism, but Legalism can be separated from Confucianism. Which one do you think is better? "
