Royal Road - Chapter 93

[Chapter 93]

&nbQushui Liujing is the most fashionable official banquet entertainment at the moment, which is to put the wine glass in the tortuous water channel and make it drift with the current.

Anyone who stops in front of someone will write a poem and talk about it, which is a very elegant entertainment.

The former emperor Wudi loved the Qushui Liujing very much, and there was also a Qushui Pond in the Luoyang Palace, which attracted great popularity.

&nbWith the sound of the music, the lotus leaf slowly fluttered and came to Sima Teng.

As the host of the banquet and the head of the officials in Bingzhou, he should make the proposition.

Picking up the wine glass, Sima Teng drank the wine in the glass, and after thinking about it, he opened his mouth and said, “Since it’s a clear talk, let’s use “Fisherman” as the title.”

&nb When it comes to “Fisherman” on this occasion, it is natural Refers to “Zhuangzi” rather than “Chu Ci”.

The article “Fisherman” tells the story of a fisherman who met a fisherman while Confucius traveled around the world. He criticized Confucius, refuted Confucianism, and advocated sticking to the truth and returning to nature.

No one paid much attention to this in the Han Dynasty, but in the Wei and Jin Dynasties Lao Zhuang was prevalent, and the differentiation and analysis of Lao Zhuang and Confucianism also emerged one after another.

This article can be said to be in line with the most exciting elements of the world, that is, the right and wrong of Confucianism and Taoism, which has always been a hot topic of discussion.

&nb Self-consciously, the question was very good, Sima Teng put the wine glass back on the lotus leaf, and Qushui began to flow again.

On the side, Sun Zhi also nodded with satisfaction. Sima Teng was not very good at poetry and books. He usually loved singing and dancing more than talking. Therefore, the topics that were intensely discussed in front of him a few days ago would naturally be memorized in his heart.

&nb This is also the result he wants.

&nbThe Sun family is a prominent family in Taiyuan, but his father died early and his brother died in the war. Sun Zhi has no strong backing behind him. Although he consciously has a lot of knowledge, he can only live in a poor and weak place like Xinxing County. official.

This is very different from what he expected.

Thanks to Liu Xuan, the commander in charge of the northern part of the Xiongnu, who had a good relationship with him, it was not difficult to stay in Xinxing County.

&nb However, the news he heard from Liu Xuan a few days ago made him extremely dissatisfied.

Sima Teng actually wanted to recruit a younger generation with a fake appearance as his vassal.

He came from a mediocre background, the two generations had no officials, and his knowledge was not very good. The only difference was his looks.

For such a person, it’s just not enough to ask for permission, and the governor should ask the imperial physician to diagnose him?

He was born into a wealthy family, but he had to guard a poor county that was full of Huns. How could someone get what he dreamed of with just one face?

!

&nb Therefore, after hearing that Liang Feng was also going to Jinyang to see Shangsi Tachun, Sun Zhicai took great pains to come up with such a plan.

The question “Fisherman” is a good question for most scholars who are familiar with the history of Laozhuang and can speak freely, but it is not for Liang Zixi.

How can a person who likes the Buddhist philosophy of Buddhism judge whether Zhuangzi and Confucius are right or wrong?

&nb Coincidentally, there are a lot of high school children coming today. Both Guo’s and Wen’s are talented, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to compete.

As long as the cup is passed on in Liang Zixi’s hands, but a satisfactory answer cannot be given, the touted reputation will naturally be self-defeating.

This is not something that can be avoided by words such as “Sino’s voice, unintentional poetry”!

&nb Seeing that the cups were drifting with the flow, and people kept getting up to answer, Sun Zhi couldn’t help but look at the gate not far away.

After a while, there will be a good show.

&nbLiang Feng is also watching a play.

This was the first time he had seen Qu Shui Liu Jing with his own eyes.

Although the original owner has left a lot of memories, it seems that he has never participated in such a public banquet, and has no impression of Qu Shui.

It looks like an alternative game of drumming and passing flowers, except that those who are passed to the wine glass have to get up and perform some shows.

However, everyone is a gentleman, so naturally they can’t sing a ditty. They must compose poems or talk.

&nb Fortunately, I didn’t choose to write poetry.

This kind of banquet is not an ordinary family banquet. If he really refuses to write poetry, Sima Teng will probably be the first to turn his face.

It’s much simpler to talk about it, and there are not many people who can get into it. It’s more like a logic game to see who can detour who.

Boring is boring, but it’s not too difficult for him.

Anyway, the red carpet has already passed, and now it’s good to keep it strong.

&nb The people in front of them are eloquent, and they all talk eloquently, citing classics, and occasionally attracting applause from the crowd.

The music didn’t stop, it was loud and quiet, just like the accompaniment background sound.

Liang Feng leaned on the table and sat by the pool.

The posture is not correct enough, but the green mountains and clear waters, and the singing of Yale, are more leisurely.

The eyes that stayed on him were always there, but Liang Feng didn’t care about it at all. He only occasionally chatted with Wang Wen sideways, as if he didn’t care about the wine glass floating in the pool.

&nb It seems that Liang Zixi really has no intention of becoming an official!

Many people secretly thought.

After all, this is an opportunity to show his face in front of the Lord of Bingzhou. No matter whether he has rejected Sima Teng’s recruitment before, he should show some talent at this time and make the other party look up to him.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he had no intention of entering the general’s mansion, how could he be so careless?

&nbSun Zhi was secretly happy when he saw it.

It seems that Liang Feng did not expect the floating cup to stop in front of him at all, so unprepared, when the cup stops, it will only be more embarrassing.

Great, that’s it!

&nb Nodding lightly, the water suddenly accelerated and drifted downward.

After jumping straight past the three of them, he swirled slightly and stopped in front of Liang Feng.

&nb Didn’t expect the wine glass to float over so quickly, Liang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked towards the pool.

Today, the Qushui Pond is a ditch specially dug for banquets. It draws living water from the Jin River into the pond, winding for hundreds of meters, forming an irregular oval shape.

In an artificial ditch, if you want to let the glass follow the waves, and occasionally stop the glass, you can only use the gate to control the water flow.

This means that as long as anyone has the heart, they can stop the wine glass where they want to.

&nbSomeone wants him to talk!

&nb His eyes fell on the main seat, and Liang Feng said lightly: “I am too weak to drink, and I hope Duke Dongying will forgive me.”

&nb Are you trying to refuse to talk?

There was a commotion at the poolside, this is a Qushui Banquet, how can you refuse to drink it?

Sima Teng was also stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Sun Zhi hurriedly said, “If you can’t drink it, why don’t the governor give tea instead?”

&nbSima Teng suddenly came to his senses, this was the chief officer reminding him to pay attention to talents.

At the beginning, Sun Hao, the king of Wu Guoguo, was fond of drinking, but he also respected and valued Wei Yao, the servant of the narrow book, and often gave tea instead of wine, which became an elegant talk.

With this suggestion, Sima Teng nodded happily: “Zixi can replace the wine with tea.”

&nb Seeing the expressions on the two’s faces, Liang Feng withdrew his gaze: “Thank you, Duke Dongying for your understanding.”

&nb As he said, he took the He took out the teacup on the floor of the maid behind him and drank it all.

&nbSun Zhi opened his eyes in excitement.

Thanks to his timely reminder, Liang Zixi never avoided talking.

Now that the tea that replaces the wine has been drunk, it’s time to talk about it?

Before, the wine glass had been in front of the Guo family, the Gao family, and some of the most talkative people in the general’s mansion. The debates of these people were all essential, and they promoted the beauty of Taoism in a high-profile manner.

If Liang Feng said that he is incomparable to Confucianism, he must have a strong background in classics and history.

If Zhuangzi is praised, then where should his Buddha’s force field be placed?

This is simply a dead end that cannot be avoided. It is really difficult to think of ugly!

&nbWho would have guessed that after drinking the tea, Liang Feng did not ponder like Sun Zhixiang and was embarrassed. Instead, he sat upright and simply said, “The fisherman is the same as Zhong Ni.”

&nbWhat?

!

People have discussed so much, so this is your answer?

This scripture directly condemns Confucius, Confucianism and Taoism. It is a confrontation between Lao Zhuang and Confucius and Mencius. The surprise is so great, where is the same?

!

&nbSun Zhi was born with a sneer: “I never thought that anyone would dare to say that the fisherman is the same as Zhong Ni? Has Liang Lang never read the article “Fisherman”?”

&nb These words were extremely sharp, but Liang Feng said: “Dare to ask The fisherman is the ruler of the land and the assistant of the princes and kings? If not, how is it different from the sage?”

&nb This is also the opening line of the article “The Fisherman”. The fisherman asked the disciple of Confucius what Confucius did. .

Zigong highly praised Confucius for his virtues, for making rituals and music, for establishing human relations, and for being loyal to the monarch and educating the people.

Then the fisherman asked him if he was a monarch with land, or if he was a minister to assist the prince, and Zigong answered no.

So the fisherman laughed and said that Confucius was neither a monarch nor an assistant minister. Wouldn’t it be a laborious effort to worry about these things and lose the true nature?

He was too far off the road.

&nb This paragraph is the title of the full text and the basis for setting the tone. With this paragraph, many ideas can be derived.

But now Liang Feng said, has the fisherman ever been in charge of the country himself?

Have you assisted the prince?

If not, how can his theory be verified, and how can he refute Confucius’s practice?

&nb This is a standard logical question and extremely difficult to refute.

Sun Zhi opened his mouth and reluctantly said: “All saints have Su Hui, but it is a gift from heaven!”

&nb What the saint said was naturally correct. If he wanted to refute this, he would go against the basic principles of Taoism and Confucianism.

And since it is a gift from heaven, it is natural that you have never run a country before, and you can know the truth of running a country.

&nb Who would have guessed that Liang Feng did not answer this topic, but instead asked: “Where does the ritual come from? Where does the truth come from?”

&nb “This… ritual is a system for people, and it is really from the self.” Sun Zhi didn’t expect to be treated like this questioned, and had to continue to answer.

&nb “Where do people come from? Where do I come from?” Liang Feng asked again.

&nbWho am I?

where am i from?

This is simply the ultimate question discussed by countless philosophers, and how could someone like Sun Zhi be able to answer it?

Seeing the other side’s mouth open, Liang Feng shook his head gently and pointed to the lotus leaf at hand: “Those who see lotus leaves are called green; those who see lotus are called red; those who see lotus roots are called white. The green lotus leaf has the same destination in different ways. The difference between the people who see it is not the difference between the real and the appearance. Therefore, the fisherman and Zhongni are the same.”

&nb The meaning of these words is clear.

The fisherman said that we should obey the laws of heaven and return to the truth, so that the world can function normally.

Confucius wanted to use etiquette and law to restrain people, so that people could understand the Three Principles and Five Constants, so that the world could function normally.

The “Tao” of the two people, that is, the method of solving the problem is different, but the purpose is the same.

&nb And this is also what Liang Feng is used to hearing in later generations.

Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism have long had me in you and you in me. If you want to survive in this land, you must make changes to adapt to the environment.

The unity of speculation and empirical evidence is the essence of dialectics.

&nb There are many people in the world who hold the idea of using Confucianism to explain Taoism, or using Taoism to explain Confucianism, but no one has ever made such an explanation in an article like “Fisherman”.

But after careful argument, I feel that it fits perfectly and cannot be refuted.

What’s more, Liang Feng said three kinds.

Besides Confucianism and Taoism, is there any Buddhism?

&nbSomeone couldn’t help but ask: “Shike is the same?”

&nbLiang Feng leaned back on the table and smiled slightly: “The Mahayana wishes to save all sentient beings.”

&nbIn this case, he once worked in Wang Wen’s office. It was mentioned at the elegant banquet, but it is more thorough and sublime to mention it again at this time.

Without citing a scripture, but by making a random comparison, being able to answer what you heard so incisively is simply amazing!

Is this not the image of enlightenment in Buddhism?

&nb The previous contempt was swept away, and even those who were most disdainful of Liang Feng’s appearance had to admit that this son was extremely sharp!

Compared with his eloquent talk, Sun Zhi’s stammering incomprehensible appearance is simply contemptible.

Sima Teng couldn’t help but patted his palm: “What Zixi said is wonderful! Hurry up and have fun, and listen to how others can tell it!”

&nb However, this time, the wine glass fell in front of a young man.

The man was only about fifteen or so. After picking up the wine glass, he pondered for a moment, and then sighed, “I’m not as good as Liang Lang.”

&nb After saying that, the young man drank the wine in the glass and sat back in his seat calmly.

&nbThis son is Wen Qiao, the youngest son of the Wen family, who has a wise and quick-witted reputation. I didn’t expect him to think he was inferior, Sima Teng couldn’t help laughing: “Zi Xi is fluent, and Wen Lang is straightforward. Let’s talk, let’s celebrate with a feast!”

&nb Speaking, Sima Teng left the table first, regardless of others.

Everyone should follow him to the place where the banquet was held. Only Sun Zhi looked ashen and sat still.
