Three Kingdoms

Pang Shanmin's reputation is not great.

But Pang Shanmin's father has a great reputation.

Coupled with the support of Hussar and Pang Tong, Pang Shanmin's remarks had to be taken seriously.

Pang Shanmin's argumentation, just like him, was gentle, simple and unsophisticated, with an indescribable firmness and calmness.

Pang Shanmin looked around and then said slowly: "To be serious is to seek truth and truth. If it is not true, it cannot be passed on to future generations. If it is not true, it cannot be taught to future generations." The correct answer is to seek reality and change. Without reality, we cannot analyze the pros and cons. If we cannot change, we cannot adapt to the world! To understand the world is to adhere to the scriptures of seeking truth and correctness, to seek truth-seeking solutions through argumentation, to explore methods, to clarify the pros and cons, just like the opinions of various schools of thought, each has its own strengths and weaknesses, take the essence and discard the dross, and inherit the past and the future. Keep going! 』

Philosophers?

Take the essence and abandon the dross, inherit the past and open up the future?

With a bang, the scene suddenly became a little chaotic. Everyone couldn't help talking, and couldn't help looking at Zheng Xuan, and then at Pang Shanmin on the stage, and then their eyes turned back and forth between the two people...

Pang Shanmin smiled and looked blankly. He looked ahead, as if looking at the people in the audience, looking into the distance, or looking towards the future.

Zheng Xuan's hand shook, and then he pinched off a beard.

Bystanders are clear, but the authorities are confused.

Zheng Xuan is not only an authority, he is also a stakeholder, so he cannot be as indifferent as Pang Shanmin.

Zheng Xuan also knew what Pang Shanmin said, and Sima Hui also knew it, but they didn't say it.

Dare not say.

Or maybe you think you’ll be in trouble if you tell me.

Having said that, will it be misunderstood by others, will it be reported by villains, will it become evidence of insinuating Hussar, will it be the fate of being 404, I have more worries in my heart, Naturally, I didn’t dare to say anything.

So it’s better to tell it in a serious manner and explain it in a smooth manner.

Zheng Xuan looked at the indifferent Pang Shanmin with complicated eyes.

Pang Shanmin's indifference came from General Hussar, and also from the fact that he didn't want to open a mountain gate to teach. Therefore, he is indifferent, neither afraid of shocking the world nor afraid of discussion.

The buzzing sound continued for a while, then slowly fell silent.

Because everyone knows that this is just the beginning, there are still 4,500 words to follow... Bah, there are still follow-up arguments.

Pang Shanmin smiled slightly and looked at Guan Ning, Lu Yu and the other three people who were among the crowd. "Some time ago, I heard that You'an discussed the Filial Piety Classic, and I gained a lot. Today I might as well take the Filial Piety Classic as an example to explain the pros and cons." , try to discuss its essence and dross, and analyze its past and future. 』

Guan Ning stood up and bowed to Pangshan Chief.

During these days, Guan Ning was almost the vanguard of Xiao Jing. He knew that he could bite off more than he could chew, so he focused on Xiao Jing and worked hard. On the one hand, he did get recognition from many people, but on the other hand, he also He was reviled by many people. After all, the custom of generous burials in the Book of Filial Piety is indeed a big business.

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents, so Guan Ning has been scolded a lot these days, and he has even been chased and thrown rotten fruits, rotten leaves, etc...

What? Rotten eggs? Have you watched too many TV movies? In the Han Dynasty, eggs and so on were all good things, but no one would throw them away if they were willing to give them up. Unless there is an order from the hussar, stones and weapons are not allowed to be thrown. Violators will be treated as stabbings, so stones are thrown even if it is not allowed. After all, eggs are expensive, and rotten fruits and stinky vegetables are cheap.

At that moment, Guan Ning saw Pang Shanmin publicly roll his name and wanted to give the filial piety scripture. Naturally, he knew that Pang Shanmin was affirming and supporting him, so he naturally thanked Pang Shanmin.

"Benefits should not be used to benefit individuals, but should be used to benefit the world." The same goes for harm. The difference between advantages and disadvantages, in terms of the world, is that it is beneficial to increase the population, food and clothing is the highest, and it is detrimental to people's livelihood, and poverty is the lowest. Pang Shanmin nodded and said seriously, "The Classic of Filial Piety has been discussed for a long time, and the Han Dynasty has been trapped in the disadvantages of generous burials for a long time." Today we will try to discuss whether there are advantages or disadvantages to long burial and long mourning. Some people believe that the custom of lavish burials does more harm than good. The longer time passes, the more serious the harm will be and the less beneficial it will be. 』

Pang Shanmin said slowly, "If you follow the proverb of a thick burial and a long mourning, the king will die. He will be mourned for three years, his parents will die, another three years, his wife and eldest son will die in a young age, another three years, and then uncles and brothers will die, and each will die again." One year, if there are aunts, uncles, aunts and other elders who die, they will also be mourned for different years. During this period of long mourning, if there is any shortcoming, they will be blamed suddenly, called unfilial, insulted, beaten and expelled, or damaged the walls and crops. Can this habit of prolonged mourning benefit the world? 』

"Wait a minute!" Someone stood up and said, "Filial piety is the foundation of benevolence and righteousness. If a person is not filial, he will not be benevolent and righteous. Can such a person benefit the world?" 』

Pang Shanmin looked over and said with a smile, "Do you claim to be benevolent and righteous?" 』

"ah? This, this... I am not talented, but I also seek benevolence and righteousness in my heart! ” The man hesitated for a moment, but still said in a conclusive tone.

"good. Pang Shanmin nodded and said, "So your kindness and righteousness can benefit the world?" 』

"This..." The man couldn't answer.

"A certain discussion about the benefits and disadvantages of a rich burial and long mourning can benefit the world. If you block it and deny the world the way to understand the benefits and harms, can you call it benevolent and righteous on your part?" Pang Shanmin continued to ask.

The knife struck hard and fiercely.

"This..." The man suddenly sweated slightly on his head and coughed, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." After saying that, he bowed his head and sat down again.

In fact, this person secretly changed the concept, and Pang Shanmin also secretly changed the concept. After all, Pang Shanmin said before that the discussion was based on "interests", but that person directly jumped out of the frame to talk about benevolence and righteousness, just like When you talk about reason, you talk about emotions, when you talk about emotions, you talk about reason. If Pang Shanmin follows up and talks about benevolence and righteousness, it does not necessarily have to be reflected in the behavior of long mourning. Then he will fall into the trap, just like Guan Ning, struggling and unable to climb out.

Guan Ning had also discussed rich burials and long mourning before, but he was involved in it, and then moved back and forth between Confucius and Mencius, magic and magic war, benevolence and justice against morality, the result was noisy, but it was difficult to reach a conclusion.

And at that moment, Pang Shanmin grabbed a label, "benefiting the world". No matter it was talking about benevolence, benevolence, righteousness, or anything else, he refused to accept any suggestion. He just asked, "You are here to cause trouble, do your parents know?"

Moreover, when Pang Shanmin just made his argument, he had already said that the criterion for benefiting the world is whether the wealth of the world increases and whether the population grows. As for benevolence and righteousness, that is another topic. It imposes benevolence and righteousness on the economy. and development, it is already beside the point.

If you want to seriously refute Pang Shanmin, you need to refute the examples given by Pang Shanmin. For example, he said that some people did not waste anything during long mourning. Even if they built huts next to the tomb to live in, the period of mourning could not only be extended. business, and also marry a concubine to fill a house, have children and grandchildren...

But such refuting examples cannot be mentioned!

So Zheng Xuan and others remained silent, only the clown jumped out to stir things up.

People's hearts are always greedy, and only those who can control greed can achieve their own achievements.

Pang Shanmin did not chase and beat the man, but nodded slightly and continued: "What will happen if the people of the world are mourned for a long time?" 』

"There are many people whose faces are like withered weeds, who walk like rotten wood, who are deaf and blind. They cannot read, cannot do anything, cannot farm mulberry trees. Only by supporting them can they stand up, and only by fighting can they move. Such people..."

"etc! Another person in the audience stood up and said, "This is the Mohist theory of mourning!" 』

『Yes. Pang Shanmin nodded and said, "Laozi, Confucius, Mencius, Mozi and other sages all want to be the first in the world, worry about the worries of the world, and worry about the worries of the world. If they gain something, they will be happy for the people of the world, and if they lose it, the world will be happy." The common people are saddened by the fact that hundreds of schools of thought are the hundreds of schools in the world, not just the sons of one person. Why should one person's preferences be in vain for the interests of the world? Only by getting rid of the bad and retaining the good, seeking truth and rightness, can we uphold the way of sages and sages. What's more, Confucius also said that among the three of them, I am my teacher, why should I reject Mozi alone? 』

Puff, another stab.

"Ah... I'm being reckless..." The man couldn't help but sit down.

Pang Shanmin still nodded gently, "Mozi celebrated mourning and advocated thin burials." This is what the Spring and Autumn Period said, why can't it be changed today? This is because the Filial Piety Classic is too true. If you exceed it, you will fall short. Just like when a person cooks food, if it is not cooked, it will be raw and raw; if it is not cooked, it will be burnt and black and difficult to eat. If it is not cooked, it will not work, and if it is not cooked, it will not be eaten. 』

"To correctly interpret the Sutra of Filial Piety, one should seek the middle. If one desires benevolence and righteousness, one should seek mediocrity. Those who have been mourned for a long time will harm others, harm themselves and harm the world. The custom of lavish burials and chaos in the society will never be tolerated, nor can they do selfish things in the name of benevolence. 』

"The emperor has not expressed his desire to mourn for a long time, and the court has issued an edict not to allow rich burials. Why do so many people regard long mourning and rich burials as a beauty?" Pang Shanmin said slowly, "This is our responsibility!" Since you claim to be a scholar, you should carry forward the past and open up the future, instead of adding layers of layers, talking nonsense, disordering order due to selfish desires, chasing fame and fortune and forgetting kindness! This is a great harm! 』

The third knife was thrown on the table with a clang.

Everyone started talking.

Pang Shanmin said it very straightforwardly, even directly, without too many embellishments or fancy words. He just said it like this. The emperor did not advocate long mourning, and the court also ordered not to advocate rich burials. But why is there still such a custom? Repeated bans have continued, and it is the sons of the gentry who are doing bad things, over-interpreting the Classic of Filial Piety, and increasing the number of funerals.

Of course, there is also the factor of the inspection system...

Different from Guan Ning's theory, Pang Shanmin's theory of filial piety does not express the interests in the slightest euphemism, nor does it have too many concerns. However, it is precisely this that makes Pang Shanmin's argument sound and unswerving.

"The various schools of thought are the ones who are ahead of the world and move ahead of the world. They have no support from above and no support from below. They are deficient because of the limitations of the times. What is right and wrong is due to changes in the sea." Serious scriptures and correct explanations, although it is said to seek its scriptures and discuss its annotations, in fact, it is necessary to understand the heart of the sages and understand the meaning of their pursuit. Watch the ancient sages walking alone on the road, and see the learned prophets cutting through thorns and thorns, above the mottled green bamboos. This is Every word of blood and tears is the hope of Yin Yin, the eternal Chinese, and the literature passed down for eternity! 』

"The right scriptures and right interpretations are the ones that seek to be "correct"! 』

"This "righteousness" means whether it can benefit the country, the family, all the people, and the world! 』

"Let's encourage you all! 』

This upright voice and solemn meaning are Pang Shanmin's understanding of "serious scriptures" and "correct interpretations", and are also the biggest difference between him and Zheng Xuan and others. Because the people of Pangshan want nothing, it is naturally equivalent to being strong without desires.

Zheng Xuan has no way to achieve this. It's not that Zheng Xuan's understanding or knowledge is lower than Pang Shanmin's, but that Zheng Xuan has to consider more things, such as whether his theory can be liked by more people and whether it can win many people. The recognition, whether it would attract any criticism, whether he was misunderstood by someone, etc., a long list of matters, made Zheng Xuan inevitably a little restrained, worrying about gains and losses, and it was difficult to be as indifferent and straightforward as Pang Shanmin.

After hearing what Pang Shanmin said, Zheng Xuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh, stood up and bowed his hands to Pang Shanmin as a gift, "What the little friend said is like the sound of gold and jade, it is deafening and enlightening, I have been taught..."

Pang Shanmin also stood up and returned the courtesy.

Seeing the two of them like this, everyone around them started talking more and more, making a buzzing sound.

Everyone seems to feel that they have something they want to express, or feelings they want to share. Although each person's voice is not too loud, when so many people are together, it becomes a very loud voice. , so that the etiquette officer on the side stretched his neck and shouted several times, but to no avail. In the end, he could only hit it with a golden gong. After a while, everyone focused their attention on the stage again.

The courtesy officer secretly wiped his sweat, glanced at the dark-faced Pang Tong, then nodded and bowed to Pang Shanmin, and stepped aside.

In fact, Pang Shanmin's remarks just now can be regarded as the end of the argument. However, Pang Shanmin's task from General Hussar is not over yet. He must also push the result of this argument to a new height, a new level. Head up!

Pang Shanmin turned his head and glanced at Pang Tong. Pang Tong understood, nodded, and said something to Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin handed over his hand, then took the wooden frame with two guards, walked to the stage, and hung a larger hanging scroll on the wooden frame. With a clatter, the hanging scroll hung down, revealing the graphics inside.

"A map of mountains and seas?" Those with sharp eyes couldn't help but shout, "Thousands of miles of mountains and seas?" Classic of Mountains and Seas? 』

The people who were sitting at the back couldn't help but stand up and stretched their necks forward. Then the ceremony officers and guards jumped out again, yelling loudly and beating gongs. Only then did order be restored and these people The guy had to sit back down again.

Pang Tong coughed, first greeted Pang Shanmin, and then stood next to the "Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Seas Map".

In fact, Pang Tong and some high-level figures in the Hussar political group have basically seen such a map. They have also shown it to the general public before, but like today, it has not been shown before. This is the first time that a more extensive, more strictly prohibited, and more formal model has been demonstrated.

"Let's talk about the south first. 』

Pang Tong cleared his throat and without further ado, he pointed to the south of the map and said, "Liu Xuande has arrived in Jiaozhi. According to his report, south of Jiaozhi, there are especially roads to go south. To the south of Rinan, there are many tribes, but few hundreds." , several thousand in number, unable to speak, dark-skinned, small..."

"To the north, at the Northern Territory Protectorate, Zilong reported that in the north of Mobei, there are various tribes, called Rouran and Jiankun, with a population of ten thousand. There are also people with bright eyes, white skin, and are not afraid of severe cold..."

"To the east, let's not talk about it for now. Is this the west side? According to the texts collected by Zhuoyi Xuan and the reports of Hu merchants traveling in the Western Regions, in all the countries in the Western Regions, there are thousands of horsemen and thousands of horsemen. They are spread all over the Western Regions, not far from Dingyuan... 』

"Notice! To the west of the Western Region, there is Taixi! Rest in peace, the whole Qin Dynasty is here! There are millions of soldiers! Over the past hundred years, twenty-seven countries have been destroyed! 』

"These matters concerning the Western Regions have been reported to the Shenluyuan by Zhuanyixuan, and they will be reported to the residence in the near future. We can see the details." 』

After Pang Tong finished speaking, he signaled to Pang Shanmin, then turned around and went down again in an extremely serious manner, leaving everyone in the audience in an uproar again.

"quiet! 』

"Dang Dang Dang..."

The courtesy officer had no choice but to come out to maintain order. He felt that today's work was not easy and it was several times more tiring than usual.

But everyone still didn't care. They chatted for a long time, and some people tried to get to the stage to look at the big map. They didn't care about the guards in the field, and it took a while before they finally calmed down.

Pang Shanmin stood in front of the map, pointed at the map and said: "This north side was originally the Xiongnu... Now, although the Hussar has established the Northern Territory Guard, it is unknown whether there are still the old Xiongnu... In fact, it is even more terrifying. The thing is the place of Taixi in the Western Region..."

"In the past, the Huns invaded the border. Although they were ferocious and destroyed the border, they were like duckweeds. They had no roots and no fixed place to live. Even if they were violent for a while, they would not last long... But this is not the case in Taixi. Pang Shanmin stretched out his hand, took a sheepskin scroll from Zhuge Jin's hand, unfolded it, and said, "This is a famous Taixi scholar. He has many words... His words are like those of Gong and Sunzi, and they are also the way of famous writers in Song Dynasty... Everyone, do you know this?" For China, are these people less important than the Xiongnu? Or is it more serious? 』

"We, the Chinese, are the legacy of the ancient Yan and Huang Dynasties, the grace of Shennong Cangjie and others, and the scriptures passed down by hundreds of schools of thought like Confucius... Fortunately, the Xiongnu did not have any sages and great talents... but Taixi..."

Pangshan people shook the parchment in their hands, "There are also "disciples"! He had millions of troops and destroyed twenty-seven countries! If he sees that China is weak, can he be friendly to him and make friends with him? 』

"China is not weak!" 』

"Have you ever been weak to a big man?" ! 』

"Yeah! 』

"..."

Everyone in the audience couldn't help shouting loudly.

Pang Shanmin nodded and said, "Of course, the Han family is not weak now." However, being arrogant and unaware of the benefits and disadvantages, and advocating based on selfish desires, is like a long-term mourning. Three years after another, the scholars cannot govern, the farmers cannot cultivate, the work cannot be done, and the merchants cannot do business. How can a strong man not be weak? If the trend of extravagant burials continues, soldiers, armor, money, food, utensils, and money will all be buried underground, from princes and generals to local counties and counties. They will be buried today and martyred tomorrow. People will die every day, every month, and every year they will be buried. Thick, accumulated over the years and months, one person is buried and the whole family is poor, and parents are buried and scattered everywhere! Let me ask how a big man is not weak? ! 』

"Even so, there are still people who always praise filial piety and benevolence!" To ignore the harm of the people, the poverty of the country, and to complain a little is to be called loyalty and filial piety. This is what Kong Zhongni said, and it is explained in the scriptures! Let me ask if this is serious and correct. 』

"The so-called correct interpretation is for the country and the people, and this is the world of China!" If you distort the scriptures for your own selfish purposes, you will harm the country and the people, and sin the world! The Filial Piety Sutra is like this, and so are the other sutras! All schools of thought are like this! 』

"Seek righteousness, upright scriptures and correct interpretations, distinguish the good from the bad, establish the rules of the world, inherit the inheritance of the disciples, do not like or dislike based on the school, but choose and reject based on the benefit of the world!" 』

"This is the responsibility of you and me as scholars!" 』

"It is our responsibility!" 』
