Chapter 416: Mencius, Zi Sizi

There are two kinds of people in this world who are the most attractive, one is the omniscient person, and the other is the ignorant person, obviously the former is Cai Yan, and the latter is Liu Lan himself.

"Miss Cai is your friend?" Of course Xin Ping knows, but there are many people who don't know, so Xin Ping pretended not to know and doubted the letter.

Although Xin Ping made Liu Lan deflated, Liu Lan didn't care, what he cared about was whether Cai Yan could get on the high platform: "Yes." ”

After receiving the reply, Xin Ping took the opportunity to send out an invitation, turned to Cai Yan, and said, "Miss Cai, it stands to reason that women cannot go on stage, but this student who doesn't know what Mencius is said is that it is your friend who wants you to go on stage, I don't know what you mean?" ”

Who said I don't know Mencius. was so belittled in front of people, Liu Lan was about to get angry, but something unbelievable happened to him: "I appreciate the kindness of this brother, and I am willing to try it on stage, but the little woman wants to clarify here that I have nothing to do with him, let alone a confidant and friend, and I hope this brother will pay attention to the wording." ”

Brother? Not a confidant? Yesterday, I admired the moon with my mother, and today I turned my face and was ruthless? Liu Lan slandered for a while, this girl is ungrateful and a snob, of course Liu Lan knows that he said this {3w. because he lost face in front of people, and she was afraid of being embarrassed by having something to do with herself. A wry smile, especially the disdainful glances around him, made him ashamed and embarrassed, like being slapped by Cai Yan in the crowd.

Originally, he thought that their friendship started last night, and today he desperately went to the front desk to hope that Cai Yan could come to power, even if he didn't want to, Liu Lan would encourage him, but how did Cai Yan treat himself? Could it be that the friendship gained from last night's conversation was so vulnerable when he lost face?

Vanity. Damn vanity again.

Liu Lan smiled and looked up to the sky and laughed. He looked at Cai Yan, if he could stand up and say something at this moment, Liu Lan would forgive her for being young and ignorant. It's just that Cai Yan didn't say anything, and even his eyes were a little evasive of Liu Lan's gaze, hiding, avoiding, and then nothing happened.

Thousands of pairs of eyes stared at Liu Lan, who suddenly laughed wildly, and Liu Lan figured it out, yes, they weren't friends in the first place, could they be considered friends after chatting once? But why is Liu Lan so heartbroken. When you need help the most, not only do you not send charcoal in the snow, but it is almost the same as falling into a well, do you make me so happy?

Since you're going to see my jokes, let's see who the jokes are. The laughter stopped suddenly, Liu Lan exhaled a long breath, and said to the world: "I don't know Mencius, and I haven't seen Mencius." But it's not that there is no understanding of Mencius. Liu Lan has always just wanted to leave such an opportunity to Cai Yan, so that he can become the protagonist today, and let the world know that women are not inferior to men, but it seems. His kindness was in vain.

Although it was disappointing, it made him see a lot of humanity clearly.

Liu Lan was full of murderous energy, and climbed straight to the platform as if no one was around. Some of the guards tried to stop him, but they couldn't even get close. And as the guards grew to stop him, Simbi appeared. Waving off the guards, Xin Ping was surprised, but found that his younger brother Xin Bi was pointing in a direction, and Xin Ping certainly knew who the four people sitting there were.

Since the fourth elder acquiesced, he didn't dare to make a mistake, and watched Liu Lan take the stage with cold eyes, and the proud figure that appeared again made all the students silent, and they wanted to know what this person was going to do.

"Zi Sizi was born in the ninety-second year of the reign of King Jing of Zhou and died in the twenty-third year of King Weilie of Zhou (between 504-403 BC), and Mencius was born in the fourth year of King Lie of Zhou and died in the twenty-sixth year of King Zhou Xun, and the difference between Zisi and Mencius when he was born was more than 30 years. However, the statement that Mencius was employed by Zisi in various classics and even the records of Zisi and Meng Ke's meeting are difficult to doubt.

However, according to a certain view, although Mencius was deeply influenced by Zisi and his disciples, and formed the Simeng school with them, he was neither employed by Zisi nor by Zisimen. The Confucian surnamed Meng Mingke and Ziche mentioned in the book was not Mencius, but a disciple of Zisi with the same name as Mencius. The statements that Mencius was employed by Zisi are all derived from this, and the statements that Mencius was employed by Zisimen are all misunderstood by the fact that Mencius was not worthy of Si Mengshi and the influence of the derivative texts. ”

Stone shattering, it is simply a shocking stone, many people guessed that Liu Lan would definitely speak amazingly, but what they never expected was that he actually said such a crooked reasoning, which simply broke everyone's logic, making people dizzy and not even refuting for a while.

It's not that they don't want to refute, but because Liu Lan can explain Zi Si Mengzi's birth and death years in detail, but they can't, many people began to look for Liu Lan's mistakes from the birth and death years, but found that what he said had no loopholes.

And then this man, who was ridiculed before as not even knowing Mencius, did not give anyone a chance to question at all, even if he had prepared a lot of Xin Commentary for today, the real snake beating with the stick: "Yun:" Zi Si Nian sixty-two. "Confucius died in the forty-first year of King Jing of Zhou, and Boyu died three years before Confucius. Xiang Zisi was born in the year of Boyu's death, and it should have ended in the third or fourth year of King Weilie. Mencius was born in the fourth year of King Lie, and it was fifty years since the time of his death. It is also said: Lu Miao Gong tasted the respect of Zisi, but Miao Gong was enthroned in the nineteenth year of King Weilie, so the mistake of "Zisi was sixty-two" or "eighty-two". If Mencius is not able to receive karma in person. To only this article, the thirty years of King Hui of Liang, the prince of Qi Shen, then Mencius to Liang, since the thirty years later. How? In this article, there is a saying that "the east is defeated by Qi, and the eldest son dies". However, Mencius lived in Liang, not two or three years, and King Hui had died, and King Xiang had been established. How? In this article, I see the words of King Liang Xiang. At that time, the year of King Hui of Liang Hui was only forty years after the death of Duke Lu Miao, but Mencius was old. Then the karma is thought, or the one who can not be exhausted with?

Liu Lan completely vetoed the teacher-student relationship between Mencius and Sizi in terms of time, you must know that even if the upper limit of Mencius's birth year is 389 BC as tested by Mr. Qian Mu today. There are still 14 years from the lower limit of Zisi's death year of 403 BC. Therefore, according to the statement of Zi Sinian ninety-two. Zisi and Mencius are still not worth the same time, let alone sixty-two.

Of course, I deny here that Mencius was born from Zi Sizhi. There must be many students who admit that Mencius was employed by Zisimen, whether it is the predecessor Kong Kunzhu or Zhao Qi, who said that Mencius was personally employed by Zisi, all of you are scholars of this dynasty, and they all have a considerable basis for their words. If all their statements are attributed to the words of Qi Dongsavages, a certain one will not believe it.

Then the question arises, since Mencius and Zi Sizi are decades apart, why do everyone say that Mencius was personally employed by Zi Sizi? The boy dared to guess that the Confucian surnamed Meng, Mingke, and Ziche was not Mencius. Rather, it was a disciple of Zisi with the same name as Mencius.

Everyone will think, could it be such a coincidence? Presumably everyone knows Zengzi, then Zengzi's murder must be known, from which we can know that people with the same name have been in this dynasty since ancient times, so it is not difficult to understand that Zi Sizi once had a disciple with the same name as Mencius and was mistaken for Mencius by later generations.

And the most powerful circumstantial evidence for this judgment is the number one authority of Zhao Qi's family for the early governance, and his theory is difficult to doubt. And Zhao Qi is still alive, and the only remaining people after the Three Monarchs are naturally irreproachable.

In the book we can see the clouds: "Yes and I wish." Learn from Confucius. "We can understand the meaning of this, Mencius is saying that he did not learn from the disciples of Confucius." is what you wish", which means that the matter of "learning from Confucius" is virtual. In this regard, there is a clearer record: "Mencius said: Yu Wei is a disciple of Confucius. To the private ladies also. "Everyone Zhao Qi noted it: I don't have to be a disciple of Confucius. Shu, good also. I am selfish and good to the ears of the sages. Gai hated that he couldn't learn from the great sage. ”

What everyone said in Zhao, the kid agrees. I am also convinced that his understanding is correct. Since even Zhao everyone interprets "Confucius disciple" as "Confucius disciple". Then the so-called "disciples" should be the disciples of the lineage, including the disciples who have been trained, the disciples who have passed on the second lineage, and the disciples who have passed on more disciples. However, Zhao Dajia interpreted "people" as "sages". It is also okay to interpret the word "person" as "other people". So here is it possible to say that people other than the disciples of Confucius? So this sentence of Mencius is saying: He was not able to be a disciple of Confucius.

This explains that Mencius learned the doctrines of Confucius from others in private. It is conceivable that if Mencius was really employed by Zisi or Zisimen. He would definitely not say such things as "If you don't have to be a disciple of Confucius, you will also be a disciple of Confucius", because no matter whether he learns from Zisi or Zisi, he belongs to Confucius's disciples.

Based on this, it is judged that the Meng Ke in the following is probably not Mencius. As for the historical records of Mencius's employment in Zisi, it is likely that it is the same as Liu Xiang, Ban Gu, and Zhao, but it was only later that the word "human" was derived, and a different theory was formed. As for the later generations' conclusion that Mencius was employed by Zisimen based on this heretical theory, it is a false rumor.

Therefore, the Confucian surnamed Meng, Mingke, and Ziche mentioned in a certain bold speculation and other books was not Mencius, but a disciple of Zisi with the same name as Mencius. The statement that Mencius was employed by Zisi is derived from this, and the statement that Mencius was employed by Zisimen is a misunderstanding led by the fact that Simeng was not worth it and the influence of the Yanwen.

Liu Lan's masterpiece made countless people in the audience speechless, and Xin Ping was more like eating a dead fly, disgusting, as for Cai Yan, he bit his lip tightly, and his face was uncertain and could look at Liu Lan's eyes, but he exuded brilliance. And Wei Zhongdao, who has always lived behind people, has a face that is difficult to see to the extreme, and he is beaten in the face, his fists are clenched tightly, and his teeth bite his lips, Liu Lan, you don't want to get involved with my sister Yan, unless, I am dead. ”

In the end, Liu Lan glanced at the scene with thousands of people, closed his eyes, but the corners of his mouth hung a touch of arc, and the smile in the eyes of everyone was more ironic than naked ridicule, only to hear him say: "Only with gratitude can we truly understand that women are independent, and narrow-minded people are the most pitiful and stupid characters of women." ”

Liu Lan left alone, Cai Yan was frozen in place as if she had been struck by lightning, and Liu Lan walked in front of her without even a look.

She never thought that the two of them had a conversation last night and were friends, but why did Cai Yan feel that her heart hurt so much, like a steel knife piercing?

~~~~~~~

Liu Lan left, and the four people on the high pavilion in the distance also left, and the three people in the carriage (one of whom was the head of the Xin family) twisted their beards and laughed, but Cai Yong's face was a little ugly, but he still forced a smile and said: "Today, Liu Yuanqi's son is another high-level theory, Zijiang, what do you think, do you want to comment on this kid?" ”

"I haven't commented for a long time, it's inconvenient to make an exception, and Guo Lao is present, and the guest is as you like, let Guo Lao comment on this comment." The man in the car was no more than thirty years old, with a square face, a bronze face, a pair of eyes like sharp swords, a goat's beard, and a linen Confucian robe, but because of the unkempt edges, the clothes were crumpled.

Cai Yong and Xu Zijiang both looked at Guo Xi, Guo Xi smiled bitterly and said, "Since this is the case, then I will talk about my opinion of this kid." He thought for a moment and said, "Reading books alive, not dead, the future is limitless." ”

"Guo Lao, this is your evaluation?"

"What, still not satisfied?"

Guo Xi thought about it again and said: "I have poetry and books in my belly, and I have a strategic mind; The article can be handed down to the world, and the frontier can also make contributions, and in the future, it will be a great talent who can be a state and a man who can govern the country, how about it? ”

"Crown-sounding."

"Haha, the Liu family has a son, what more can the husband ask for!"

"Punchline." (To be continued......)
