Listening to the surrounding sounds, Qu Yuan hurriedly looked at the crowd, but saw that on a high platform surrounded by everyone, there were two people about forty or fifty years old standing.

At this time, Ji Zi noticed Qu Yuan's gaze and immediately explained: "Recently, the biggest thing in the world is nothing more than the battle of Huaibei, and the sons and students of the Ancient School Palace often get together to discuss.

As for the two people on the stage, one of them is Teng Zigen, a disciple of Mencius, after the restoration of Teng, the new Teng Jun sent his younger brother to Qi to serve the first king in order to thank the first king. ”

"It turned out to be a disciple of Mencius!" Qu Yuan looked at the old man in the Confucian robe and nodded.

"As for the person who debated with Teng Zi, it was Tian Zili of the Mo family, who was a disciple of Song Zigao."

"It turned out to be Song Zigao's apprentice." Qu Yuan nodded again, Song Zi and Song Yu are the same masters and scholars in the school palace as the Taifu Huanyuan of the Chu State, and the three schools of the fine channel and the name of the Mo family, Qu Yuan can also understand that Song Zi taught a disciple of the Mo family.

After all, although the Jixia School Palace is dominated by Huang Lao's learning, Mohist thought is also permeated in the School Palace, which is based on the time when Mencius was in the School Palace, and once lamented that Yang Zhu Mo Zhai's words flow in the world, and the world's doctrine does not belong to Yang but to Mo.

What Mencius said was that the ideas of the Mohists were widely spread in the school palace, and even some Taoist masters such as Song Yu were also quite influenced by the Mohists.

As far as Qu Yuan knew, during the Chu State's invasion of Qi, Song Yu had gone to Chu through Chu Mo's channel to lobby the King of Chu, talking about non-offensive methods, and trying to stop Chu from attacking Qi.

It's just... It is said that the king of Chu ignored Song Yu and let him return disappointed.

At this time, Ji Zi saw that Qu Yuan was moved, and immediately spoke: "Qu Zi, why don't you take a closer look." ”

"Good." Qu Yuan nodded, he also wanted to hear Qi Guo's argument about the battle of the Five Kingdoms against Chu.

After Qu Yuan followed Ji Zi close to the center of the debate, he heard Teng Geng ask Tian Li:

"Tianzi, you often say that if the war is in line with morality, it will be won, and if it is not in accordance with morality, it will be defeated. However, as you can see below, the battle of the Five Kingdoms against Chu is not as Mr. said, it will be won in accordance with morality.

The state of Chu is a barbarian country, without etiquette, ignorance of education, harsh treatment of nobles, enslavement of the people, among the countries, only the state of Qin is more barbaric than the state of Chu.

However, the benevolent and righteous division of our five countries, hanging the people and cutting down the crime, the survival of the intermittent and the extinction, the righteous army rescued the people of Chu and restored the Yue country, it was a famous righteous army, but three successive battles with the Chu State, all of them failed to defeat the violent Chu, but also fought a protracted war again and again, and the third war ended in the defeat of the Three Kingdoms.

Dare to ask Tianzi, why is this? According to Mr.'s theory, is it true that the violent Chu who treats his subjects harshly and destroys the Yue Kingdom is the righteous army, and the five-nation alliance that I survive and die is the unrighteous army? ”

At this time, Qu Yuan, who had just come to the stage, not only shook his head when he heard Teng Geng's mouth open and closed.

Seeing this, Ji Zi, who had been paying attention to Qu Yuan, immediately asked in a low voice: "Why did Qu Zi shake his head, is it a big mistake for Teng Zi?" ”

Qu Yuan shook his head with a smile when he heard this: "The reason why I shook my head is because Teng Zi's mind is shaken and his mind is dizzy. I once heard that Mencius once told his disciples that it is better to believe in books than to have no books. ”

Ji Zi listened to Qu Yuan's denigration of Teng Geng, but just smiled but did not refute.

When Teng Wengong visited Mencius, he was impressed by Mencius, and after returning to China, Teng State went to the royal road of Mencius, and this Teng was put into Mencius's disciple at that time.

At that time, the whole country of Teng thought that Teng would be able to gain a foothold in the world with a hundred miles of land, and maybe the people of all countries would return to Teng like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, and then Teng would be able to dominate the world without a fight.

As a result, just when the Teng State was getting richer and stronger, when the upper and lower countries were dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Song State invaded the Teng State and swallowed the Teng State in a battle at a very fast speed.

Such a result not only made the jaws of all Confucianists fall to the ground, but also collapsed the scholars of Teng State who believed in Confucianism. Then after the restoration of Teng, it changed from a country that strongly believed in Confucianism to a country that extremely rejected Confucianism, and this Teng Wengong's own brother, a disciple of Mencius, was driven to Qi by Teng.

And this Teng Geng, who came to Qi State, also collapsed his faith because of the demise of Teng State. After coming to Qi for more than ten years, this Teng tried to find the reason why the country of benevolence and righteousness was invincible to the king of mediocrity and the country of cruelty.

As a result, Teng Geng went to people from various schools to debate every now and then, trying to find the reason for the demise of Teng from other schools.

It's just...

Ji Zi shook his head, Teng Geng, whose faith had collapsed, became even more confused after accepting more than a dozen completely different thoughts in one go.

If it weren't for Teng Geng and Teng Guo behind him, he wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in the Academy Palace at all.

Even though Teng Geng has stayed in the study palace for more than ten years, he has never accepted disciples in the school palace, and he is still alone.

On the other side, Tian Li on the stage heard Teng Geng's doubts, and opened his mouth to retort: "Teng Zi's words are wrong, the husband fights, righteousness wins, and injustice does not win, this is the basic principle of war, how can there be mistakes." The failure of the Five Kingdoms to defeat Chu and return is precisely in line with this law of war. ”

When Teng Geng heard this, he immediately sneered and said: "Tianzi is saying that the five countries are guilty of hanging the people, and it is not moral to restore the Yue country thousands of miles away." And the tyranny who destroyed the Yue Kingdom is the side of justice? ”

"Not really." Tian Li shook his head and said: "Although it is a righteous thing for my Five Kingdoms to fight Chu and save Yue, there is still a difference in its subtleties.

The Yue Kingdom is located in the eastern part of the Chu State, bordering the sea, and the last time the Five Kingdoms invaded Chu, the target of our attack was the land of Huaibei.

The land of Huaibei has been ruled by the Chu State for hundreds of years, and it is the land of the henchmen, and the hearts of the people are attached. We attacked Huaibei, for the local Chu people, this is an enemy invasion, a villain who has come to bully their wives and daughters, and rob them of their property and land. Therefore, in the eyes of the Chu people, the real purpose of the Five Kingdoms to attack Chu was to seize the Huaibei Land of Chu, not to restore the Yue Kingdom.

Therefore, as soon as the army of our five countries arrived, it caused a fierce resistance from the Chu people, which is the reason why our five countries could not win a quick victory against Chu and fell into a bitter battle.

The reason why the Huaibei War failed was because Su Dai did not follow the path of righteousness, and did not want to persuade the king of Chu and Chu Xiangzhaoju to restore the Yue Kingdom through morality, but thought of assassinating Chu Xiangzhaoju through a conspiracy, so that the descendants and grandchildren of Chu Xiangzhaoju died tragically, thus arousing Zhaoju's heart to die, and did not hesitate to use his body as a bait to lure our Three Kingdoms Alliance. ”

Ji Zi in the audience couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard Tian Li's words, Su Dai's plan to go to Chu State, but it was planned by the princes of Jixia Xuegong, and now Tian Li openly attacked the plan of plotting against Zhao Ju, which was obviously dissatisfied with his plan.

At this time, Tian Li continued on the stage: "Therefore, in my opinion, although the attack on Chu by the Five Kingdoms is an act of occupying morality, it is not moral to attack Huaibei.

If you want me to say, if the Five Kingdoms had targeted the Huainan Land of the Yue Kingdom, let the world see the determination of the Five Kingdoms to restore the Yue Kingdom, and let the Chu people also know that the Five Kingdoms attacked Chu not to attack the Chu State, but to restore the Yue State, in this way, how could the Chu people fight to the death with our Five Kingdoms for the sake of the Yue Kingdom.

In this way, the Chu people are fighting to the death, and my will to restore the Yue Kingdom is firm, as long as I hold against the Chu State for three months, the Chu people on the front line will inevitably lose their fighting spirit, and the people of Yue will inevitably respond in groups.

There are internal troubles, there are strong enemies outside, and they have no heart to fight to the death, so how can our five countries worry that the war will not be won, how can they worry that it will be difficult to defeat the Chu State, and how can they worry that they will not be able to restore the Yue Kingdom.

Therefore, if our five countries had attacked Huainan at the beginning, they would have won the first battle of Chu, and they would not have needed three times at all. ”

As soon as Tian Li's voice fell, the ink artists in the audience immediately responded:

"Yes, sir's words are reasonable, attacking Huaibei is an unjust war, so when the Chu State defended Huaibei, there were many righteous people who sacrificed their lives to defend Huaibei for the sake of morality in their hearts. Therefore, this is not that my ink is unrighteous, but that my ink artist has the righteousness of the world in his heart. ”

"Yes, if we had attacked Huainan in the first place, we would have won a long time ago."

Teng Geng heard the voices of Tian Li all around him, and immediately said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, this is simply a strong word, the teacher is famous, morality is morality, how can it be reasonable to attack Huainan, and it is unreasonable to attack Huaibei."

It is a major festival to attack Chu and save Yue, whether it is to attack Huaibei or Huainan, it is a small section, as long as the big festival is not lost, the small righteousness cannot affect the righteousness at all.

You ink writers always only see the small righteousness, but do not see the great righteousness of the world, people often say that conformism, honesty is not self-deception! ”

Tian Li saw that Teng was attacking him and even against the Mo, he was furious in his heart, and asked with a sarcastic smile: "Since Mr. said that attacking Huaibei is also a matter of righteousness, then Sir is talking about it, why did our Five Kingdoms defeat Chu?"

Also, why was Teng Guoda's path of benevolence and righteousness killed in the first battle of the Song Dynasty? ”

"You..." Teng was furious, but he couldn't refute it.

It stands to reason that Teng Guo is a king, and it only takes fifty miles to claim the title of king of the world, but the result is that he died in a battle.

He thought about this thing for many years and didn't understand what went wrong.

At this time, Tian Li saw that Teng was speechless, smiled slightly, and was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, talking about the Mo family's non-offensive righteousness, in order to promote the Mo family doctrine, but the moment he spoke, he suddenly saw a handsome Chu man dressed as a Chu person beside Ji Zi in the audience.

Seeing this, he knew the identity of this person after a little groaning.

So, he arched his hand at Qu Yuan and said, "But the great sage of Chu State, Qu Zi in front of him? ”
