In his previous life, Cui Xian was a PhD in Chinese Language and Literature from a prestigious university.
In this life, he has transmigrated into an impoverished family in ancient times.
...boom!
These words made all the scholars feel like they were struck by lightning, and they were stunned on the spot.
Especially the two older scholars, Master Wu and Pei Chongqing, looked at Cui Xian in shock and felt their scalps tingling.
Nine years old, this kid is only nine years old!
Why can you ask such a thought-provoking question!
They didn't even dare to listen any further.
I’m so afraid that my faith will be shattered on the spot!
Mr. Dong Lai also stared at his little disciple in shock.
The old man didn't know that his apprentice possessed a modern soul.
So, he was really shocked by Cui Xian's way of thinking.
He had participated in thousands of debates on the high platform before, but he had never experienced such advanced and sharp questioning!
Fortunately.
Mr. Donglai's experience is unmatched. He calmed his mind and said, "The Three Dynasties were kings with different rituals, and the Five Hegemons were hegemons with different laws! Mencius said: 'Determine one', and Xunzi said: 'Unify the world.' Why wait until the Qin government to realize it?"
"Putting 'the same track for all vehicles' after 'no system can be established without the Son of Heaven' shows the sage's thought in legislating and establishing the constitution: political orders may change with the times, but the way of 'achieving harmony and keeping the heaven and earth in their proper places' is eternal!"
All I can say is that he is worthy of being the leader of contemporary literary circles of the Daliang Dynasty and the most famous scholar in the literati circle.
He even mastered ethical practical thinking!
And these words have reached a level that is irrefutable.
Of course, Cui Xian can actually refute it.
But that is the way of thinking of modern people. If we say it out loud, we can win, but that is extremely disrespectful!
therefore.
After thinking for a long time, Cui Xian bowed to Mr. Donglai and said, "I am willing to learn from you."
This is what it means to admit defeat.
Mr. Dong Lai nodded with a smile, showing the demeanor of a teacher.
But in my heart I was roaring: How could my apprentice be so excellent! Given this situation, I wonder if I will lose to my apprentice every day in the future?
Oh my god!
What level of monster are you?
Being a teacher is so stressful!
Otherwise... I will continue to study every day! Otherwise, it will be so embarrassing to lose to my apprentice!
Some people seem to be smiling on the surface, but they have actually started crying behind their backs.
Although Mrs. Pei, Mr. Gao and other parents did not understand what was going on, they roughly understood that Xiang'er was really powerful.
In addition, there is the great scholar Mr. Donglai.
Therefore, it should be a good thing to let Pei Jian, Gao Qi and others drop out of Pei clan school and come to Cui family to study.
But for knowledgeable scholars like Mr. Wu and Pei Chongqing, this debate was simply shocking!
The heart of Tao is on the edge of breaking and mending, being pulled to the limit.
It’s not that they haven’t seen the world.
But the seemingly simple debate just now was of the same level as none in the entire Daliang Dynasty!
Mr. Dong Lai is a leader in the literary world after all, so it is natural that he is very powerful.
But Xian'er is only nine years old!
Is this reasonable?
Four or five years later, when the debate takes place in Kaifeng, won’t those people be tortured to the point of collapse by Xiang’er?
For a moment, Master Wu even felt that he had gained a lot of vague insights after listening to this debate.
That is the sublimation of thoughts and thinking patterns!
It turns out that the Four Books and Five Classics can be opened in this way?
Learned it!
If he didn't have to go to the Pei clan school to teach, Master Wu would have wished he could study at the Cui family too!
Even a pig can gain insights by listening to debates of this level every day!
And after listening to the debate between Mr. Cui Xian and Mr. Dong Lai, old man Pei Chongqing was completely excited, convinced and inspired!
He looked at the inspiring slogans all over the Cui family's yard, found Cui Xian, and asked hesitantly, "Xian'er, can grandpa follow you to class? Grandpa has a hunch that if I listen to you and Mr. Donglai debate for a few years, maybe I can also pass the imperial examination."
"Grandpa is only 50 years old, which is a good age to work hard!"
Pei Jian heard this: ???
Am I going to be a classmate of my grandfather?
