My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 394
Zhang Kui suddenly yelled at Zhao Gou: "The crown prince is the prince of a country, how can he not ask right and wrong? Don't argue about injustice? Don't study the principles of heaven?"

Zhang Kui's voice is stern, and he is really daring to face the prince of a country.

However, it also reflects from one aspect that today's senior officials in Shilin society are not so afraid of imperial power.

Especially in the face of a prince like Zhao Gou who has no real power and is almost a mascot, he looks down on him even more.

Zhao Gou's face turned red, and he said coldly, "Why doesn't Gu know right from wrong?"

Zhang Kui sneered: "The merits of King Yan are due to the country, and the court has its own rewards, which is also the duty of ministers. However, it is not ridiculous and absurd to reward meritorious service with the title of Confucian master for the merits of a general?
The sage has learned from the past and the present, and has the spirit of Changhong, and he will be immortal for thousands of years.The sage founded Confucianism with the intention of educating all people, regardless of the change of dynasties.

However, if one uses the power of a warrior to arrogantly conceive and forcibly impose the title of Grand Master, this is a blasphemy to a saint, and a humiliation to Confucianism and scholars all over the world!
From now on, if warriors can be honored by Confucianism for meritorious service, where will the disciples of saints be placed? "

Cheng Yuanjing took the words and shouted: "I am not talented, so I should stop this ridiculous thing! Scholars from all over the world, do you think so?!"

Zhou Ziyan looked around at a group of scholars and literati who were about to move around, and raised his arms and shouted: "The saints are blasphemed, the gentleness is swept away, and the human relations are ruined! If you ignore it, the world will be so big in the future that there will be no place for scholars to stand alone!"

This statement is really provocative.

In other words, if even the title of great Confucian master is occupied by warriors, one can imagine the status of scholars in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Kui and the three came to disturb the grand ceremony today, mainly for this reason.

Resolutely defend the class interests of the gentry and the scholar class.

There have always been only anti-class class interests in this world, but no anti-interest classes.

The emotions of the onlookers were gradually mobilized, and there were many discussions and voices.

Even some of Wang Lin's supporters gradually felt that it was absurd for the Kong family to give Wang Lin the title of great master of Confucianism.

Using the name of a saint to cater to the powerful, is this what the descendants of the saint did?
It's really embarrassing.

Zhao Gou was so sternly reprimanded by the three great Confucianists that he couldn't say a word.

With his knowledge and insight, how can he be the opponent of these three people.

It's even worse to bicker.

After all, people like Zhang Kui rely on their mouths to make a living.

Kong Lin, who was disguised as a man, stood at the gate of the Confucian Temple, her expression even more embarrassing.

In fact, what the Kong family intends to do this time is a matter of tacit understanding.

As a result, three well-known Confucian scholars opened up this layer of window paper for the public.

Under such circumstances, even as Duke Yansheng, it would be difficult for Kong Jie to act forcefully and give Wang Lin this honorary title.

And if the title ceremony is ruined, will her marriage also come to an end?

But now that Kong's marriage with the King of Yan has been rumored all over the world, how will she deal with herself in the future?
Kong Lin's eyes were gloomy, and the girl's mind was dim, and she looked at Wang Lin who stood upright but remained unchanged.

Zhao Gou looked at Wang Lin in embarrassment.

Wang Lin knew that he had to open his mouth to argue.

This is the same as when a minister encounters impeachment and has to defend himself.

If he remained indifferent, his reputation would be completely ruined by Zhang Kui, Zhou Ziyan and Cheng Yuanjing.

The so-called rumors accumulate and destroy bones.

He looked at Zhang Kui and the others with sharp eyes, and said slowly: "Ask the three great Confucian scholars, I don't know whether Fan Wenzheng, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, is a scholar or a warrior?"

Fan Zhongyan?
Zhang Kui looked fearlessly, cupped his hands slightly and said: "A generation of famous ministers, their names will last forever. Mr. Wen Zheng is the model of famous officials in the Song Dynasty. If he is a Jinshi and ranks, he will naturally be regarded as a scholar."

Wang Lin chuckled: "Meishan layman, do you know that Fan Wenzheng defended the country and guarded the border, as the commander of the army, he won several battles against Xixia, guarded the border, and made immortal achievements for the Song Dynasty?"

Zhang Kui's complexion changed.

But I heard Wang Lin say again: "Therefore, Mr. Fan Wenzheng can also be called a military general, and he is proficient in military strategy... If you say this alone, the Meishan layman will not object?"

Although Zhang Kui felt that Wang Lin was suspected of changing the concept secretly, he still had to admit: "Mr. Wen Zheng is both civil and military, and he is known all over the world."

Wang Lin smiled softly: "Since civil servants can be military generals, and since there is such a saying in this world as both civil and military, then military generals can also be proficient in literary affairs, study and become Confucians, does it make sense?"

Cheng Yuanjing frowned and said, "What exactly is King Yan going to say?"

Zhou Ziyan and the scholars present cast their eyes on Wang Lin.

Wang Lin rushed to the three of them and cupped his hands slightly: "Although I am not talented, I dare not compare myself to Fan Wenzheng's immortal martial arts, but if I ask myself, I can mount a horse to fight, get off the horse to study, cherish the life of the country, respect the way of a saint, and practice it personally. All these years, consistently!"

Zhang Kui and the three quickly looked at each other, thinking that this is the case, and it is really shameless to compare Fan Zhongyan to himself.

This King Yan is really...

Zhang Kui said sarcastically: "I know that King Yan is very talented in poetry, and several poems have become famous all over the world. But poetry is really a small way, entertainment, entertainment, and entertainment are acceptable. How can it be beneficial to protect the country and the people?"

In the words of modern people, theorists look down on writers.

In fact, this kind of mentality has spanned thousands of years, and even in modern society, there is still a big market.

University professors, cultural scholars, how many little poets can you look up to?
The female poet who claims to sleep with men across the whole of China, even though she is popular in half the sky, does she have any social status?
The popularity of Wang Lin's poems was considered popular in Song Dynasty, but that's all.That's probably what it means.

Cheng Yuanjing also said calmly: "I don't know how much Yan Wang has read the Four Books and Five Classics, but have you ever entered school or had an imperial examination?"

This is to ridicule Wang Lin for not being promoted in the imperial examination.

Although the emperor also gave Wang Lin the same background as a Jinshi, for scholars who regard imperial examinations as a standard, this in itself is worthy of ridicule.

You are in the same unit, they are 985 or 211, and you have a party school degree, how do you compare?
"Hehe, Guwei's scientific examination is a martial arts subject, and he will be awarded a fellow Jinshi and rank." Wang Lin said indifferently.

Zhang Kui suddenly laughed loudly: "Since the King of Yan claims to have a background in martial arts, how can he claim to be a scholar?"

It's hard for him to be over [-] years old, but still have such a loud voice.

Cheng Yuanjing and Zhou Ziyan took the lead in laughing, and many scholars around laughed.It's just that Wang Lin's sharp eyes glanced over, and many scholars immediately closed their mouths, put away their smiles, and honestly lowered their heads.

Seeing Wang Lin being ridiculed in public, Zhao Gou looked gloomy and almost jumped up, wanting to curse.

This is his master, the master he has always taken as an example and honor.

Although he also thinks that the master is a bit lecherous... There are many faults, but the flaws are not concealed.

With a half-smile, Wang Lin retorted, "If you don't pass the imperial examination, you won't be a scholar? Then, I would like to ask the three of you, but have you forgotten the allusion of not being ranked first?"

This is about Luo Yin, a great Confucian in the Tang Dynasty.

Luo Yin was very famous for his talent and learning when he was a child, and his poems and articles throughout his life were highly praised by the world. However, he had participated in more than ten Jinshi examinations, and all of them failed, and he was known as "the top ten".

But this cannot obliterate Luo Yin's subsequent works, which are as famous as Shilin.

In fact, there are many similar examples after the Song Dynasty, but Wang Lin can't talk about it at this time.

For example, Chen Xianzhang from the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Xianzhang failed in many trials.

After teaching for more than ten years, peaches and plums are all over the world. Zhan Ruoshui, an important official who is also the minister of rites, officials, and soldiers, and Liang Chu, the chief assistant of Taige, all came from his sect.

In short, a person who is not a Jinshi has taught a large group of Jinshi.

Emperor Wanli thought of his great achievements in learning and ordered him to worship in the Confucian Temple.He also became a person who worshiped Confucius Temple without obtaining fame.

Zhang Kui's expression froze and he hesitated a little.

There are such people.It cannot be said that Wang Lin was created out of nothing.

But is this analogy suspected of subverting the concept?

Zhou Ziyan thought it over and said: "Is it possible that the King of Yan compares himself to the ancient Confucianism? Then, this old man is going to test the King of Yan."

Wang Lin cupped his hands indifferently: "I'm all ears."

Zhou Ziyan stared at Wang Lin, and blurted out a very simple question: "What is the way of university?"

This is to investigate whether Wang Lin has read classics.

Judging from the basic and simple question he asked, it can be seen that this person is actually not willing to embarrass Wang Lin too much.

Wang Lin said without hesitation: "The way of a university lies in being virtuous, being close to the people, and ending in perfection."

Zhang Kui followed closely: "Then, may I ask King Yan, what is the way to study?"

Wang Lin remained calm: "I read the books of sages and sages alone, and I secretly thought that the way to study is: one is to be determined to learn and persevere; The fifth is to learn impermanence, to be a teacher of impermanence; the sixth is to apply what you have learned, to unite knowledge and action."

Seeing that Wang Lin's answers were fluent and casual, all of which contained allusions, Zhang Kui and the others were obviously a little bit surprised.

Although this is not a profound knowledge, it seems too profound for a general, right?
They didn't know that Wang Lin was a keyboard warrior on the Internet in the later generations. He often hangs around in various cultural forums and geckos, and often reads online historical novels. He has read too many of these things.

Well, he never watched a bootleg.

Zhou Ziyan looked deeply at Wang Lin, and he suddenly realized that the powerful and powerful King Yan in front of him could not be underestimated.

Seeing that the three old masters in front of him showed signs of being bluffed by him, Wang Lin curled his lips and just wanted to laugh.

Zhou Ziyan suddenly said: "Since King Yan is familiar with the scriptures and claims to be a disciple of my Confucianism, then the old man still wants to ask, what is the gist of my Confucianism?"

Both Zhang Kui and Cheng Yuanjing stared at Wang Lin with a little solemn expression on their faces.

If we say that the previous casual school examination was just a simple question and answer, it was related to the common sense of Confucianism.

Then, the proposition put forward by Zhou Ziyan is a bit grand, metaphysically, it belongs to Yangchun Baixue.

It can test the theoretical level of a scholar in Confucian classics.

The surrounding scholars also stared at Wang Lin with piercing eyes.

Cheng Yuanjing sneered coldly: "Wangshangong, aren't you embarrassing King Yan? King Yan may have read a few classics, um, I heard that King Yan used to be a teacher and lived on the words of a sage...but so How can he be able to explain the great righteousness?"

Zhao Gou couldn't bear it anymore: "The Master said: Three people must have my teacher. The sage is still modest and studious, so he is not ashamed to ask his subordinates. Does Cheng Gong think that he is more knowledgeable than the sage, enough to look down on others? But he is alone. How did you hear that Duke Cheng was also a school teacher in the Luoyang Cheng Family Group?"

Cheng Yuanjing was a school teacher when he was young.

As soon as Zhao Gou said this, Cheng Yuanjing's face turned red immediately, and the corners of his mouth trembled, not knowing how to refute.

Wang Lin chuckled, secretly praising Zhao Gou, and fought back beautifully.
