210. Punch the Wentan Nursing Home (Part 1) (Page 1/2)
"Alas! In the absence of heroes, the young ones become famous!"
"Go and take another look. Is it true that no one has submitted an answer on the debate platform?!"
"I can't answer the fourth question... I can't answer the seventh question either. How could this happen? How could this happen?"
"Quick, go to Yuelu Academy and invite Mr. Huan Ying!"
Before the release of "Ten Questions to the Book of Shang": the old Confucian scholars were arrogant and declared that the traitor Cui Xian would definitely lose.
After the release of "Ten Questions to Shangshu": Listen, it is the wailing of a broken heart!
This day.
Old men were everywhere breaking down and crying in the streets, and it even became a strange story in Kaifeng.
Especially, outside the Kaifeng Prefecture School, next to the seven-foot debate platform.
A large number of old scholars cried their hearts out.
There was even an old man who cried so hard that he rolled his eyes and fainted amid countless people exclaiming!
This shocked many people who were watching the fun: Oh my god, what on earth did this little prodigy get wrong?
It actually made hundreds of old scholars cry!
It's really horrifying.
But in fact, the old Confucians are not crying about the problems.
What they cried for was that the sanctity of the scriptures was being challenged and questioned.
What they are crying for is their own mediocre life!
The people didn't understand and treated it as a joke.
But the scholars holding the official report of "Ten Questions to the Shangshu" were trembling all over and could not laugh at all.
They had read the books of sages, and precisely because of that, they admired Cui Xian to the utmost, even to the point of awe!
Because they couldn't answer any of these ten questions.
Not only can I not answer it.
Many scholars stare at those ten questions, and there is a voice in their hearts roaring: Are the books of sages that we study necessarily correct?
If it must be correct, then why can these ten questions from Senior Brother Cui Xian stump countless old Confucian scholars?
If the sages' books are wrong...
If the Book of Shang is a forgery...
I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it at all!
Therefore, not only all the old Confucian scholars in Kaifeng were devastated by Cui Xian.
A large number of young students were also frightened and confused.
The August sun is bright and the sky above is blue.
But the students in Kaifeng City were uneasy about it.
This day, I'm afraid, is going to change!
As for how it will change, no one can predict it at this time, and no one dares to criticize.
Let’s see whether Brother Cui Xian wins or loses in the next debate!
Whether winning or losing.
Brother Cui Xian has made his name in the history of literature with these ten questions on the Book of Documents!
Different from the old Confucian scholars who are broken and angry.
Although the young students were confused and uneasy, their eyes were full of enthusiasm when they talked about Cui Xian in private.
I haven't even shown my face yet, but with just ten questions, I was able to suppress all the old scholars in the city.
Just asking who else?!
No one else!
Senior Brother Cui Xian is a role model for scholars like us!
Kaifeng.
Yuelu Academy.
It is one of the most outstanding and profound ancient academies in Henan and even in Daliang.
When the Ten Questions on the Book of Documents caused panic in Kaifeng City.
When the sanctity and inviolability of classics is severely trampled upon.
When countless scholars lost their faith in the Tao and fell into confusion because of this.
Yuelu Academy naturally has the obligation to stand up and turn the tide, and fight to safeguard ancient Chinese classics!
"Mr. Huan Ying, please come out and teach Cui Xian a lesson!"
"If we don't suppress this sutra thief, the Daliang literary world will be doomed!"
Outside the academy's mountain gate, countless old scholars gathered, pleading loudly and tearfully.
The movement was really shocking.
As a result, the academy is unable to conduct normal classes today.
No matter how hard the teachers tried to appease them, it was of no avail.
Hundreds of young students walked out of the classroom one after another and whispered in panic in the courtyard.
Apparently, Cui Xian's Ten Questions on the Book of Documents also spread throughout Yuelu Academy.
Could it be that the Book of Shang, which we have studied so hard for so many years, is full of mistakes and omissions?
Just thinking about this makes countless students feel confused and unreal.
They have not yet stepped out of the ivory tower, and all they have learned in their lives comes from the teachings and answers from their teachers.
Therefore, when encountering this kind of problem, everyone subconsciously seeks help from teachers.
However, today most of the teachers at Yuelu Academy remained strangely silent.
Because they couldn’t answer those ten questions at all!
How to answer students’ questions?
In fact, at this time, at least half of the teachers in the academy, or even more, were experiencing a spiritual collapse because of Cui Xian.
The collective silence of the teachers caused the students to fall into a certain degree of panic.
And at this time, everyone finally realized with horror what a perverted existence Senior Brother Cui Xian was!
At the age of 14, he overwhelmed all the old scholars in Kaifeng!
Fortunately, Yuelu Academy has a rich heritage.
They also have an ace up their sleeve, a true great scholar.
This person is the contemporary principal of Yuelu Academy, Mr. Huan Ying.
Outside the mountain gate, countless old scholars were looking forward to it.
Inside the academy, countless students and teachers also had burning eyes.
(This chapter is not yet finished, please click on the next page to continue reading) 210. Punching the Literary Nursing Home (Part 1) (Page 2/2)
Under the gaze of countless eager eyes.
Crunch——
The door of the innermost teaching room was pushed open.
An old man in blue clothes with gray hair and a hunched back walked out slowly.
The moment the old man in green appeared.
The students and teachers of the academy bowed their heads and saluted, respectfully addressing him as "Shanzhang".
at the same time.
The gate of Yuelu Academy opened with a bang.
The old scholars who had gathered outside and were crying stopped crying when they saw the old gentleman in blue clothes inside. Their old eyes lit up with hope.
Great, it’s Mr. Huan Ying, we are saved!
What makes everyone even more excited is...
Mr. Huan Ying walked out, followed by two old men, Mr. Ban Lin and Mr. Xun Zhang!
These three old gentlemen are all famous scholars of the time and representatives of the ancient literature and classics school.
Similarly, it was after Cui Xian defeated Chen Chong and announced that "all twenty classics have loopholes" that the old Confucian scholars in Kaifeng were specially invited to suppress Cui Xian's terrifying existence!
Especially Mr. Huan Ying, who has been traveling abroad for nearly ten years and has not appeared in public for a long time.
Now, who wouldn’t be excited to see this “god-like figure” appear?
A teacher from Yuelu Academy bowed with a trembling body and asked the question that everyone was concerned about: "Master, is the Book of Shang really full of loopholes as Cui Xian said?"
Facing the bewildered and hopeful gazes of countless young people.
The old headmaster, Mr. Huan Ying, chuckled: "The Book of Changes says, 'Books cannot express all words.' How can words fully express the sage's heart?"
"Mencius said, 'It is better to have no Book of Documents than to believe it completely.' Those who doubt should follow Ma Rong's example and examine the false and retain the true, rather than abandoning the classics and destroying the Way!"
"Fu Sheng's ninety-year commentary on the Book of Documents, the fragmentary fragments of which particularly exemplify the teaching that 'the people are the foundation of the state.' Gentlemen, remember this: the sage way lies in personal practice; how can it be lost for the sake of fish and birds?"
Having said this, the old man flicked his sleeves and chanted leisurely:
"The River Map and Luoshu came out of the ancient times,
Is it because the fish and birds distort the light?
Thousands of years later, I still hear Fu Sheng chanting——
The people's will is clear to the world!"
These few short sentences, coupled with a couplet, are like a gentle spring breeze, returning to nature!
First, quote from classics. The "Book of Changes" explains the limitations of the text, "Mencius" questions the meaning, and the story of Fu Sheng proves that the spirit is immortal.
Then it goes straight to the essence: "The holy way lies in personal practice" breaks the obsession with words, and "The people's heart is heaven" echoes the essence of "The Book of Documents".
The last sentence of the poem is the highlight: the last sentence condenses the thought of "Hong Fan" and concludes the whole poem with the image of "Fu Sheng chanting".
If Cui Xian's offensive is vigorous and powerful.
Then Mr. Huan Ying's defense is subtle and silent, directly returning to the origin of the holy way!
This old Confucian scholar, who is 82 years old this year and has evolved to the "ultimate form", has obviously reached the state of self where "the mountain is still the mountain".
Just a few words of instruction made countless people present no longer panic and confusion.
then.
Behind Mr. Huan Ying.
Mr. Ban Lin came out, holding three official reports, and said with a smile, "Young friend Cui Xian has established a rule that only those who can answer ten questions can come on stage and debate with him."
"This is the answer from Uncle Huan Ying, this old man, and Junior Brother Xun Zhang."
"Please help me and pass it over."
Wow!
Upon hearing this, the teachers and students of Yuelu Academy, as well as the old scholars outside the mountain gate, were all so excited that their eyes filled with tears!
Very good!
Finally someone can answer Cui Xian’s ten questions about the Book of Documents!
Our "Book of Shang" is saved!
Cui Xian, the thief, don't be so arrogant!
Someone will come to deal with you!
The three answer sheets were excitedly escorted by a group of old Confucian scholars and submitted to the seven-foot debate platform outside the Kaifeng Prefecture School.
Perhaps it was inspired by Mr. Huan Ying and the other two.
Another six people handed in their answer sheets one after another!
There were nine answer sheets on the debate stage!
Oh my God!
All the old Confucian scholars in Kaifeng changed their previous attitude of collapse and despair and straightened their backs!
Including Mr. Huan Ying, a total of nine people answered the test questions.
This situation at least shows that there are nine people who think they can defeat Cui Xian!
Because if you are not sure, you won’t be able to answer the questions at all!
For a while.
All the old Confucian scholars in Kaifeng City were once again in a frenzy.
They came to the debate platform in groups, excitedly waiting for Cui Xian to finish reading the answer sheet and be shocked by the content to the point of turning pale, trembling and crying bitterly.
However, the old Confucians were destined to be disappointed.
Because Cui Xian never showed up.
I'm too lazy to look at the answer sheet.
His 'bodyguard' Dashan made another grand appearance, his eyes wide as bells, picking up the nine answer sheets on the stage like they were picking up trash.
Without looking at the content, he just said loudly: "Our young boss said that these ten questions are very difficult!"
"Could it be that such mediocre people simply dare not answer?"
"Those who dared to submit their answers are all courageous! Regardless of whether their answers were right or wrong, he was willing to give these courageous individuals a chance to debate on stage!"
"Therefore, three days later at noon, the nine people who submitted their answers—"
"We can go on stage together and gain the qualification to debate the Book of Shang with him!"
