Near Qinglong Temple.
Zeng Jing was dressed brightly and had an elegant expression. Zeng Jing knew that he was an unknown person, but others didn't know about it, so he could pretend.
After he left his hometown, he had no fame, but this did not prevent him from thinking that he was a good person or a famous person.
Good people should not fight for everything, so they don’t like fighting.
Celebrities should be high-ranking and giving advice, so he doesn't like to argue.
He only likes comments, and his favorite is to be a peacemaker.
Because he found that commenting on others can invisibly improve his identity, while being a peacemaker can often take benefits from both sides...
This benefit can be money, but it does not necessarily have to be money.
Most ordinary people don’t know why they have to fight for some things. Sometimes even if they make sense, most of them still just pick up some of the things they want to listen to because of their cognitive problems, and will not change their original concepts immediately. Just like many ordinary people, no matter whether they are the grain seeds of the company, they can make money by planting them, and they will not care about whose chips it is. Anyway, mobile phones are cheap, and they will not care about what traditional Chinese and Western medicine is. Anyway, they will be cured if they have diseases.
But some people know.
So these people will argue whether to change or not and what to choose to be better...
Then there are always a small group of people who act as peacemakers under the banner of meanness, but in fact, what they do is to put it in a common saying is to be skewed.
While shouting, don't fight, everyone is brother...
Then he fought the beaten man, tied his hands and feet, pinched his mouth, but didn't give a single fart to the perpetrator.
Or they only dare to fart.
For example, the dispute between Manchu and Han.
Stop fighting, they are all from the Qing Dynasty!
Silently whisper to the manchus, kill a few, don’t dirty your hands. These Han people are disobedient. I will educate him. Master, please calm down.
Roaring at the Han people, look, what has this made you look like? Look, how many people died for you? This is your responsibility! You have to be responsible! The Ming Dynasty is so corrupt, what is the good thing about the Ming Dynasty? Is it worth fighting for such a Ming Dynasty? Is life worth living? How can you live like this? How can you live like this? Fighting around and sharing the barbarians and China? What are you going to do?
For example, the dispute between Chinese and Western medicine.
Stop slapping, it’s all modern medicine!
Showing a smile at the capital, you are right, what disease can you cure without money and what medicine to take? We are not a charity hall.
The face of the people is grim. People don’t need money to invest? People don’t need money to do scientific research? How can people survive if they lower the price of medicine? High drug prices are not their problem, it is your problem! Is it interesting to compete for Chinese and Western medicine? Is traditional Chinese medicine useful? If you want to do Chinese medicine, even the medicinal materials will be scrapped. No, the medicinal materials are not pure, how can you cure diseases? Traditional Chinese medicine is all old antiques. Now everyone is modern medicine. What are the Chinese and Western medicines?
Don't beat anyone...
Say something well.
Sometimes such a theory can easily confuse people.
So these peacemakers will take it out to confuse others.
"Why do you need to divide this loyalty, that loyalty, this filial piety, and that filial piety?" Zeng Jing looked righteous and closed the folding fan with a clatter. "It's all loyalty and filial piety, how do you divide it? There is no need to divide it, right? Just like ancient scriptures and modern scriptures, they are all scriptures, there is no need to divide it, there is no need to compete for it! Isn't it better to study the scriptures together and be loyal and filial piety together? Isn't it more meaningful than to compete for these?"
Zeng Jing's voice was very loud.
Because he knew when he was a child that being right and not saying loudly is nonsense. If he couldn't speak first, he wouldn't even be able to fart. So he had to seize the highest and safest position as soon as he came up. For example, if he was discovered to steal peaches, just shout how could you steal peaches? Then he could transform from looking at the wind to a reporter. He could still get rewarded by the peach owner and eat some peaches for free.
As for the complaints of other friends, Zeng Jing also made a remark. I was looking forward to the wind. I saw the danger coming and reported the message in advance. Is there anything wrong? As for what the content of the message is not important, what is important is that I have indeed warned and fulfilled my duties. What else can I say? As for you being caught up and beaten up, you can't run fast, otherwise why didn't the others be beaten? Okay, I'll give you a peach pit, stop crying, just go play.
『Don't you know what "loyalty" means? Don't you know how "filial piety" is done? Are there anyone present who is not loyal and filial? What else should you argue about? It is heard that the second king actually... "Zeng Jing shook his head and sighed with discomfort, and was full of sadness. 『If there is a mistake, wouldn't it be a sin? Everyone is fine, why are they fighting for? Are these scriptures all the Chinese scriptures? Aren't you all loyal and filial? Why do you have to fight? It's really a mistake, it's a mistake...
Zeng Jing likes to say such plausible words, which seem to sound correct.
He will not comment on the correct ones, because there is nothing to say. He will only comment on the ones that are easily confused and distorted, which can prove that he is more clever than both parties in the argument.
He used this to indicate his neutral position and to gain a transcendent position.
Even if he knew that the argument was actually related to himself.
But he can be treated as completely irrelevant, he is just a bystander...
On the surface, it is said that modern and ancient Chinese are all scriptures, and there is no difference and there is no need to argue. It seems very fair, but in fact, if ancient Chinese language does not argue, then modern Chinese prophecies and divinations will definitely continue to flourish. Then what problems will arise in the future? Zeng Jing avoided talking about them.
It is said on the surface that Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui were sick in order to argue that they were not good for their health. They sounded like they were caring and considerate, but in fact they were secretly accusing the second elder of being confused when they were old. It would be better for me, a sensible person, to understand, so can we be virtuous?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! A group of people stood around Zeng Jing, listening and echoing.
These people who listened to the meeting may not really agree with what Zeng Jing said, but they are used to listening to the meeting, used to not thinking, and then they will soon forget and enter the next cycle of reincarnation.
Lu Yu happened to pass by and heard it. He frowned and stepped forward and stood up to the crowd and said to Zeng Jing: "What brother said is bad! Loyalty and filial piety should be fought for! Don't fight, you should not understand the truth! The way of loyalty and filial piety..."
Lu Yu, Guan Ning and Wang Kai have been in Qinglong Temple for a while, so they are somewhat famous.
Zeng Jing muttered in his heart when he saw Lu Yu coming. He naturally recognized Lu Yu, but he pretended not to know him at the moment and quickly interrupted Lu Yu's subsequent words, "Wait! Wait! This person is..."
Lu Yu was an honest child. When he saw Zeng Jing ask, he bowed and said, "I'm in Lu Yu. I don't know the name of my brother Taigao?"
"Oh..." Zeng Jing also bowed, "I admire you for a long time. I have met Brother Lu."
"The debate on loyalty and filial piety is not irrelevant, nor is it aimless..." Lu Yu still remembered the topic just now, so after saying hello, he continued, "Only people know loyalty and filial piety can they understand the truth, and there is even more...
『Uh, wait, wait...』 Zeng Jing interrupted Lu Yu again, "Brother Lu, stay a little bit, stay a little bit... This, I heard that Brother Gui served Yuan Benchu? I wonder if it was Lu Zhonglang's last order? Also, Brother Lu lived in Shandong for a long time, didn't he live well, why did he come to Chang'an?"
Where does Lu Yu live, how is his family background? Is it related to the debate on loyalty and filial piety?
Obviously not.
But here in Zeng Jing, there must be.
To be a good peacemaker, you must be able to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses and focus on the key points.
Zeng Jing is very good at focusing on the key points. Zeng Jing knew that if he argued with Lu Yu about "loyalty and filial piety", he would definitely lose. Because the current concept of "loyalty and filial piety" in the Han Dynasty has deviated from its original meaning. Although it is still called "loyalty and filial piety", it is actually like the prophecies and divinations in modern classics, full of various selfish desires.
The classical classics and ancient classics are indeed both classics, which is not wrong. However, in the classical classics, too many aristocratic families intentionally or unintentionally mixed with various prophecies and divinations in the classical classics, and then they tried their best to turn the classics that originally belonged to the public into the private biography of a certain family and a certain clan, just like a scholar-in-law who was a party to attack the differences and reject them.
This problem has become very serious at the moment. As an emperor, Emperor Ling of Han would be attacked by a group of people regardless of the situation. What was the recommended filial piety and integrity in the early Han Dynasty? How could only people from aristocratic families be considered talents and officials now? Those in Hongdu Academy are not talents, they are all erotic skills and cannot become officials? What is the original definition of talent? It must be measured by the abilities, charisma and morality of the talents themselves. How can they be determined by where they come from?
Then a peacemaker jumped out and stopped fighting, everyone!
Your Majesty, you see that this Hongdu Academy is built, so everyone has opinions. Why not withdraw it? Isn’t it just a school?
Everyone, you as ministers, how can you not give face to the emperor like this? Your Majesty will withdraw from the academy and everyone will not make trouble!
Do you have something to say?
It seems that all the contradictions are Hongdu Academy.
But what about it?
Some peacemakers are really stupid, but most peacemakers are pretending to be stupid.
It is in line with the interests of the majority. If you really argue and win or lose, don’t you need to change yourself? Whether it is changing your concepts or behaviors, you always have to make more efforts. Many people think that mean is compromise, or think that it is just a compromise, just like Zeng Jing. He thinks that he understands the doctrine of the mean the best and the most understands the compromise.
So now, Zeng Jing still says that ancient and modern texts are the same.
He felt that he had compromised, or that he had compromised for those who studied modern scriptures. So what else would the people who studied ancient scriptures make a fuss? Didn’t he admit that ancient scriptures are the same? Isn’t this enough?
Because in Chang'an, after a series of debates, the prophecies and divinations of Jinwen were deleted. The prophecies and divinations of Jinwen are different. Many people began to recognize that prophecies and divinations are fake and have problems. However, Zeng Jing had studied the scriptures of Jinwen before, and they were revised and revised. If everyone "understands and explains them seriously", wouldn't everything they learned before be in vain? We have to start learning again?
So Zeng Jing kept silent about prophecies and divination. He only said that modern and ancient texts are all scriptures, so everyone should not argue or fight.
If you continue to fight, the underwear of those who study the classics of modern literature will be exposed!
The same is true for loyalty and filial piety.
Zeng Jing is the famous "filial son" before!
He claimed that after his parents died, he lost all his money and buried his parents with debt. Although he is dressed well now, in fact...
This kind of "filial piety" is in line with the concept of "filial piety" before the Han Dynasty. The more money you spend on funerals after your parents die, the more filial piety it is.
As for the "filial piety" of parents during their lifetime, others may see it, but others can't eat it!
Only when the money spent after death can some people sit down with a smile and eat it. Therefore, some people advocate spending money after death, the more money the more they are, the more "filial". While eating, they praise, "A great filial son!"
If Zeng Jing agrees with the new concept of "loyalty and filial piety", then he will not "fulfil his responsibilities" to his parents, but will not "exceed his responsibilities" before his death but will "exceed his responsibilities" after his death. Then what he did before will be in vain?
At the same time, his reputation as a "big filial son" will also be reduced and even questioned.
Can Zeng Jing accept this? So Zeng Jing must confuse the differences between modern and ancient Chinese, and also emphasize that there is no point in arguing about loyalty and filial piety. He must shout loudly, "Don't argue, don't fight anymore! Everyone is the same!"
Otherwise he will become different.
So he didn't let Lu Yu speak smoothly, he began to take things out of context, and he began to confuse the concept.
It’s not that he doesn’t understand, it’s just pretending to be confused.
It’s like someone would use novels as historical facts to argue, scold Mr. Luo for being unscientific in the Three Kingdoms, and then criticize Ma Hou’s unrigorous in the Three Kingdoms.
Is this really confused or pretending to be confused?
Some public intellectuals in later generations seemed to look fair and just, and then said that all seeds are seeds, but whoever produces them is the same? Chips are all chips, but whoever produces them is the same? Medicine is all medicine, but whoever uses the system is the same?
Even though these people knew they were stuck in the throat and bullied, they still shouted, "Don't argue, don't fight anymore, and go to specialize in those old craftsmanship, and don't use ready-made ones, aren't they all the same?"
Are these people really confused or pretending to be confused?
There is also the classic saying, "put aside the facts."
Or similar, "Not to say what is good or bad" and "Not to say what is the truth"...
Zeng Jing must have pretended to be confused. He not only pretended not to know Lu Yu, but also pretended not to know Lu Yu's experience and then dug a big hole.
Brother Lu Yu served as a minor official in local counties and counties. He was not a member of Yuan Shao, but just received a share of money and grain to support the family. Then he died in the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. As a result, Zeng Jing said this, but it was like Brother Lu Yu taking the initiative to serve Yuan Shao, and it was Lu Zhi's will?! Lu Zhi was not afraid of power, gave up his official position and returned to his hometown, and then turned to let Brother Lu Yu take office as an officer in Yuan Shao? What is this?
Lu Zhi died of illness, and Lu Yu certainly had to be filial. In addition, Lu Yu's brother also died in the war. When Lu Yu was young, he had to take on the heavy responsibility of his family and take care of his family. Finally, there was no battle between Jizhou and Youzhou. It was relatively stable. Only then could Lu Yu have the opportunity to leave home and travel. In Zeng Jing's words, these became "long-term living" in Shandong, living well...
Of course, this long-term residence is remarkable.
Is living for a day considered a long time?
Is living for a year considered a long time?
What is the intention of a person who has lived in Shandong for a long time to come to Chang'an?
What is the intention of a person who has lived in Shandong for a long time to argue?
Of course, Lu Yu could understand the implication, but although he understood it in his heart, he was not good at rushing to argue, so he was repeatedly disrupted by Zeng Jing and fell into Zeng Jing's trap.
Lu Yu described his situation and tried to explain the overall situation clearly, but the people around him really care about Lu Yu's situation. How many bowls of noodles did he eat?
Many people just want to see blood.
Zeng Jing knew this, so after he led Lu Yu onto the path of self-provement, he became very relaxed and comfortable...
Come on, let’s prove that your father is your father and your brother is your brother.
No matter what I am doing now and now, or what I am doing, whether I am loyal, filial, right or wrong, I will look at the evidence. You have to prove that your father is your father and your elder brother is your elder brother. Let’s talk about other things.
Everyone looked at Lu Yu anxiously and blushed, and they burst into laughter, making them very happy.
The more anxious Lu Yu was, the more he said he was not going well, and then the happier everyone became.
Ha ha ha ha.
Does the onlookers care who wins and who loses?
They also care about whoever wins will follow, but what they want more is joy, and sometimes joy is more important than right.
Wang Kai came for a while, and then saw Lu Yu in embarrassment, and was furious. He turned to see Zeng Jing, but felt familiar. He thought about it and then suddenly realized...
Wang Kai lined up the crowd and walked to Zeng Jing a few steps, grabbed Zeng Jing's collar and shouted, "Little thief! So you are here!"
"What...what (O_o)??" Zeng Jing didn't understand, so, "You recognized the wrong person!"
"I admit it right! What do you want to steal, you thief?" Wang Kai shouted loudly, "What? You can pretend to be good in a decent dress?"
"You, you, you, you are slandering!" Zeng Jing twisted Wang Kai's hand, trying to break free from Wang Kai's control, "You wronged me! You wronged the good man! I am not a thief! I am not a thief!"
Wang Kaiwen is not good at learning, but his family is rich, so he eats a majestic body. Can Zeng Jing break free at will?
"What a wrong? You stole five books in the collection of bookshop last time! You were caught!" Wang Kai still shouted, "I'm here! I saw it with my own eyes!"
"I gave the money! I gave the money!" Zeng Jing's face was a little pale. He didn't say whether he had any stolen, "I gave the money!"
Wang Kai was not present, but Wang Kai was rich, so he basically said that he was popular and big customers everywhere, and in the bookstore was no exception. So he saw that the shopkeepers in the bookstore were very alert to Zeng Jing's arrival. When he looked wrong, he asked, and the shopkeepers naturally did not need to protect any secrets for Zeng Jing.
"You stole five books! Then you wanted to give only one book money! I was caught!" Wang Kai sneered, "You are called giving money? I went to your house to move all the books in your house, and then I gave money to one book? The shopkeeper in the bookstore was kind and did not investigate this matter. He didn't ask for money for the other four books, and treated it as a gift to you. As a result, you didn't feel ashamed and dared to show off here! What qualifications do you have to bark here?! What face do you have to talk about loyalty and filial piety?! Bah! You still say you are a scholar!!"
Wang Kai cursed and then pushed Zeng Jing.
Zeng Jing staggered and almost fell to the ground.
There was booing everyone around.
Zeng Jing quickly covered his face and ran away with his head in his arms.
Seeing that there was nothing lively to watch, everyone around said what had happened just now, slowly dissipated and then went to find the next lively place.
Lu Yu stood there dumbly, "He... he is really a book thief?"
Wang Kai nodded and said, "That's right, and I've stole more than once... Well, there must be more than five books... The book shop guy said they kept throwing books for a while before they noticed... Brother Lu, why are you arguing with such people? If such people know good and evil, they will not steal books!"
Chapter completed!
