Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 345 Confucianism and Legalism Controversy
"is teacher."

"Good boy! Sit down!"

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.

A group of students sat down, and their eyes, which had been fierce just now, became incomparably resentful, just like the grieving woman in the boudoir.

These up-and-comers have actually seen what kind of tricks Zhang Fei is playing, but they have nothing to do about it, and they have to obediently call him a teacher.

There is no way!

Because they really want to prove that Zhang Fei is not qualified to be their teacher.

And Zhang Fei just took advantage of their mentality to preemptively strike.

Because according to Confucianism, this etiquette is the most basic, if they don't even teach the most basic etiquette, no one will look down on them no matter how advanced their knowledge is.

That's what Yan Fu said just now.

Moral character is the most important, talented, and evil-minded, this kind of person is the scariest.

So the more they want to prove that Zhang Fei is not worthy of being a teacher, the first thing they need to prove is that they are a good student who respects teachers, respects morals, and has excellent character and learning.

Otherwise, it is crooked melon with cracked dates.

This time Zhang Fei easily grasped it.

The atmosphere is very awkward!

Yan Fu outside the door praised him secretly: "The skill of Er's brush is really powerful!"

This is Erbi's usual psychological warfare.

Sima Guang glanced at him, didn't make a sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, it's not easy to calm down this group of people, especially Zhang Fei, who has no reputation at all, never thought that Zhang Fei would easily handle it when he came up.

Even if it's the art of Er's pen, it's okay!
Zhang Fei glanced over and saw that they were dissatisfied, but they looked helpless, and felt secretly refreshed. He came to the edge of the lectern, leaned slightly on the lectern, and said relaxedly: "I was just joking." , don’t be surprised. In fact, I know that you are all the proud sons of heaven and the pillars of the future country. It is indeed wronged for you to let me be a teacher with you. If I were you, I would do the same. angry.

So, don't take me as a teacher, and don't take it as a class, just take it as an academic exchange. We happen to be about the same age. What do you think? "

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they were overjoyed. This was what they were looking forward to. If they were overwhelmed by the gift of teachers and students, they would not be able to perform well, but they were full of suspicion and made eye contact with other people.

It seems to be asking each other, is there a trap in this?

Zhang Fei, who had already gained the upper hand, suddenly took a step back and gave up this advantage, which is really confusing.

Rao Yan Fu, Sima Guang and Fu Bi were all a little surprised.

Zhang Fei asked again: "Is it not good?"

Cai Jing cupped his hands suddenly and said, "Students should obey their teachers' orders."

The rest also bowed their hands.

You said it yourself.

If something happens later that doesn't respect the teacher, I will follow your teaching.

Zhang Fei gave Cai Jing a look of approval, nodded and said, "Very good!"

"Let's go first!"

"excuse me."

Everyone looked for the sound, but saw two men dressed as servants walking in carrying a wooden board.

It was Li Si and Long Wu.

What is this for?
People inside and out are curious.

"Put it here!"

Zhang Fei pointed to the edge of the podium.

The two put down the board and left.

Zhang Fei also didn't explain why this thing is used, and said loudly: "Anyway, I was ordered to come here to teach you Law Studies, so today we will exchange everyone's views on Law Studies."

As he spoke, he took out a charcoal pencil from behind the board and wrote the word "Fa" on the board.

Zhao Xu suddenly realized, "So this wooden board is used for writing!"

Ye Zuqia asked suddenly: "Teacher, what word is this?"

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, "Fa."

Ye Zuqia said: "It turned out to be Fa, but the students thought it was Qia."

"Did I write that badly?"

Zhang Fei couldn't help but took a few steps back and looked at it, this is obviously a method!
He really didn't have much confidence in his own words.

Suddenly burst into laughter.

Yan Fu and his group of scholar-bureaucrats kept shaking their heads, this is not a class, the classroom of the Imperial Academy, but it is like a market place, how decent it is.

But Wang Anshi gloated and said, "I asked this kid to practice calligraphy a long time ago, but he just didn't listen. He really deserves to be laughed at."

"Hey, he is just a pen, and he can't ask too much."

"Which Er pen can't write better than him."

"Xu Zhongtu, your son-in-law's handwriting is written like this, don't you teach me?"

".!"

Xu Zunzhen was also shot while lying down.

Little did he know that Zhang Fei had performed at a super level, because it was not written with a brush, it was fairly neat, but he shouldn't be in the Imperial College, and on this occasion, the writing was really unsightly.

You must know that in the Northern Song Dynasty, poorly written characters were more disgusting than disheveled clothes.

Take Wang Anshi, for example. His articles are well written and his handwriting is good. Although he is a bit sloppy, no one says anything.

Zhang Fei coughed, "This board is a bit uneven, you just make do with it."

All of a sudden, contemptuous eyes shot at Zhang Fei.

It is strange that the board is uneven, even if it is written on a stone, it will not be written like this.

Zhang Fei quickly changed the subject and asked, "When it comes to Fa, what is the first thing that comes to mind?"

"Han Fei!"

"Li Kui!"

"Shang Yang!"

Hearing this series of names, Zhang Fei couldn't help but rolled his eyes a little bit, secretly thinking that they were all a group of baby-level players.But he said: "Han Feizi, Shang Yang, and Li Kui are all the founders of Legalism. It seems that the first thing everyone thinks of is Legalism."

As he spoke, he added the word "Family" after Fa, and asked casually, "Then what do you think of Legalism?"

Ye Zuqia immediately criticized: "Cruel and inhumane, tyrannical and fierce tigers are barbaric learning."

Many people outside the house nodded frequently.

Cai Bian slightly frowned and said: "Brother Ye's words are too arbitrary. Every school of learning has its pros and cons. The Legalists also have golden and jade words like 'no distinction between relatives and estrangements, no distinction between high and low, and one must be determined by the law', which is a good way to govern the country."

Ye Zuqia snorted and said: "As the saying goes, tiger poison still doesn't eat its offspring. If you don't get close, it's no different from animals. This is an act of destroying humanity. People, no one can do it, think about it, Qin Xiaogong and Qin Shihuang didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately? But how will Shang Yang and Han Feizi deal with it? It's just a trick to fool the people. How can you talk about golden words and good prescriptions for governing the country. "

Wang Anshi was upset when he heard it, he was ready to move, and was about to step forward, when Sima Guang grabbed him and said in a low voice, "This is not an imperial court, but a classroom, and you cannot be presumptuous."

Wang Anshi glared at him angrily, "I have never been presumptuous in court."

Zhao Xu heard the truth, but smiled without saying a word.

When you talk about scholars, someone will talk about Confucianism. The debate between Confucianism and Legalism has lasted for a long time, and it is also debated endlessly in the classroom.

Zhang Fei was like an outsider, standing aside, not listening to what they were arguing about, just watching them blushing, thinking, being a teacher these days, it’s really not too fun, just throw out a controversial issue, and then you can Waiting for get out of class to end.

"I don't know what the teacher thinks about this?"

Suddenly a person asked.

"what?"

Zhang Fei was slightly startled, looked for the sound, saw a young man, and couldn't help asking: "What did you say?"

The young man hesitated for a while, and said, "I don't know what the teacher thinks about this dispute between Confucianism and Legalism?"

As soon as these words came out, the classroom suddenly became quiet.

What just happened?
How did we kill each other.

Didn't we discuss it well and agree to the outside world?

ah!It's really unreasonable for this little Erbi to play tricks on us.

The awakened students immediately stopped killing each other and all looked at Zhang Fei.

Unexpectedly, there are people like me, wandering outside.Zhang Fei looked at the young man and asked, "What's your name?"

The young man said: "The student's name is Cai Jing, and the characters are long."

"Cai Caijing." Zhang Fei blinked, thinking to himself, is there any mistake, I am only in class, but I can also meet this treacherous official who has been notorious for thousands of years. It is really worthy of the Xining era, where there are acquaintances everywhere.

"Exactly."

Cai Jing asked, "Does the teacher know the students?"

"Uh, I just think you got a good name." Zhang Fei said perfunctorily.

Cai Jing was confused, and asked again: "I don't know what the teacher thinks about this dispute between Confucianism and Legalism."

Zhang Fei snorted, "I think Legalism is better than Confucianism."

As soon as these words came out, there was complete silence inside and outside the classroom.

Among those who argued just now, none of them dared to say that Legalism is better than Confucianism. They fought for it, and Legalism also has merits.

After all, Confucianism was very strong in the Song Dynasty, and the Legalists could only understand it, but not express it.

Sima Guang is in a hurry. I asked you to teach law, but I didn't say I asked you to deny Confucianism. If you do this, you really can't be a teacher anymore.

Cai Jing looked happy, "The students are dull and don't understand the reason, so I hope the teacher will enlighten me."

Zhang Fei said: "I was born in Erbi. I don't know how to reason. I can only speak the facts. As we all know, this legal school flourished in the Qin Dynasty. After Shang Yang, there was only one great Confucian who came to teach in Qin. Do you know who it is?"

"Xunzi."

"Exactly. But what happened?"

"The result was unsuccessful."

"Not bad!"

Zhang Fei nodded, and said: "In other words, in the Qin Dynasty at that time, Confucianism was considered to be on the verge of extinction. I was wrong."

"What the teacher said is not bad, but based on this, it can prove that Legalism is better than Confucianism? How can we talk about the demise of Qin?" Ye Zuqia asked.

"Don't worry, just listen to me." Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Whether the Qin Dynasty's demise was due to the Legalists or not, the Qin Dynasty's sweep of Liuhe and the whole world was based on the Legalists. Remember, it was the Legalists. A complete legalist.

Correspondingly, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dismissed hundreds of schools and only respected Confucianism. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also achieved great success, resulting in no royal court in Monan.So here comes the question, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, was the legalist culture in his country also on the verge of extinction? "

All the students were silent.

The scholar-bureaucrats outside the house were also stroking their beards and thinking.

Zhang Fei waited for a while, and then said directly: "Emperor Qin, Han Wu, one law and one Confucianism, but the Qin Dynasty dared to completely exterminate Confucianism, but he opposed it if Confucianism supported it, even if Confucianism advocated the relationship between father and son, oh, just like what you said before." In other words, this is human nature. Even the Legalists dare to deny it. They want to respect magic alone. The law is the father and the law is the mother, but they can still succeed. Do you Confucians dare?
Throughout history, which dynasty dared to respect Confucianism just like the Qin State only respected magic. , It can be much more than using Confucianism.

Confucianism cannot be separated from Legalism, but Legalism can be separated from Confucianism. Which one do you think is better? "
