Chapter 134 A Debate That Shocked the Literary World

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.

Everyone looked at Jia Shao in amazement, their eyes wide open.

And a shocking impact like a bolt from the blue!

Zhang Tingyu and others turned pale.

"Maoshixu", a must-study book for all readers and a masterpiece by Zixia, was now overturned by Jia Shao on the spot.

This is different from ordinary questioning and debate.

This is directly overturning the table!

How to prevent the readers present from feeling like "the sky is falling"?

After hearing this rebuttal, Su Qi's face became serious.

After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Lu Ji's Mao Shi Cao Mu Shu says: Zixia passed on the teachings to Zeng Shen, Shen passed on the teachings to Li Ke, Ke passed on the teachings to Meng Zhongzi, Zhongzi passed on the teachings to Gen Mouzi, Mouzi passed on the teachings to Xunzi, and Qing passed on the teachings to Mao Gong."

"The succession of teachers and students is orderly, how can we slander the saint?"

This is using the lineage of teachers to refute Zixia's writings.

Cui Xian laughed and said, "The Mao Shi Cao Mu Shu was written by Lu Ji, a native of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, which is 800 years after the Spring and Autumn Period of Zixia. How can he make a final conclusion on the inheritance of Zixia and Mao Gong?"

Su Qi looked slightly stunned.

then.

Cui Xian did not wait for him to answer and continued, "The Book of Sui, Bibliography, states that the Mao Shi Preface was created by Zixia and polished by Wei Hong of the Later Han Dynasty."

"In my opinion, polisher is a fancy name for forgery!"

"Zheng Xuan's annotations to the Book of Songs quoted the preface but did not mention Zixia. This is ironclad evidence of the fabrication of history!"

"Therefore, the Mao Shi Xu was definitely not written by Zixia!"

Translated, this means: The Chinese textbooks you have read since elementary school are wrong, starting from the author!

Wow!

The whole audience was in an uproar.

Who can bear this?

Zhang Tingyu and a group of scholars were working diligently to record the content of the debate.

But it was only the first debate and they were already broken.

One by one they began to doubt their lives.

It turns out that Confucius taught Zixia to write "Maoshixu". The "Maoshixu" that they had studied so hard, even the author was fake?

Then what is true!

You tell me what is true!

This is definitely a huge shock that subverts the life cognition of the people reading here!

What was even more shocking was that Su Qi's expression changed for a long time, but he never argued again.

Senior Brother Su lost!

Oh my god!

Doesn't that mean that Zixia's writing of "Maoshixu" was indeed a forgery by later generations?

Everyone looked at Jia Shao in shock and daze, their scalps going numb with fear.

If the content of this debate were to spread, it would definitely cause a sensation in the entire Daliang literary world!

Facing the shocked gazes of the crowd.

Cui Xian raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Qi: "Thank you, I will go five miles ahead!"

He finished speaking.

The driver shouted, "Gee!"

The next moment.

The steed neighed as it carried Cui Xian and set off towards the rising sun under the gazes of countless dull eyes!

He won the first battle!
