Chapter 508: The pulpit in the Jixia School Palace

(Recommended reading: Tian Gongzi Tian Ju was worried that Yang Qing'er would mess up, so he motioned to the guards and his bodyguards to protect Meng Ke and go to the lecture hall. He himself walked beside Rong'er, looking like a master.

Zhuangzi was also worried that Yang Qing'er would mess around and walk on her side.

In the Jixia School Palace, there is a large lecture hall that can accommodate nearly 1,000 seats. This is a public forum, and anyone who wants to make a name for himself in the Jixia Academy must be recognized by others here.

And then! The Qi State side will give you a private house. There is also a small lecture hall in the courtyard. This is your personal forum, and if you can have a hundred seats on your personal forum all year round, you can get the official recognition of Qi State.

Peacetime! Each gentleman in the house gave lectures to students in his own lecture hall and accepted newcomers who came to attend the lectures. Students who come to the lecture think that you can speak well and submit a letter to you, it means that you are very successful. The more apprenticeship posts you accept, the more disciples you have, and you are the celebrity of Jixia Academy, Mr. First.

Meng Ke, who later became the sub-saint Mencius, came to the Jixia School Palace for the first time. Young man, he is a newcomer, he has no fame, and he has not yet been summoned by the king of Qi, so he naturally does not have his own mansion and lecture hall.

The guards and bodyguards also knew this, so they took everyone to the lecture hall. As soon as I arrived at the lecture hall, it began to rain heavily in the sky.

Entering the lecture hall, Zhuangzi raised his eyes and shook his head.

He sighed in his heart: The venue here is too small, right? It is not as large as the open field in the square in front of the yamen in Qiyuan Town. When preaching in the lacquer garden, that person was simply crowded, and he ruined a lot of crops in front of the town office.

If you preach in the lecture hall of the Jixia School Palace, this place is not enough at all!

A hundred seats? Zhuangzi said with a smile: This Tian Gongzi is still worried that I don't have a hundred seats, and I am also worried that this lecture hall in the Jixia School Palace can't accommodate it! What is a hundred seats?

Unless? Someone prevented others from coming to me.

What if that's the case? I can't help it.

In that case, all 10 seats would be a problem.

Thinking of this, Zhuangzi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"What are you laughing at?" Seeing this, Tian Gongzi Tian Ju asked.

Zhuangzi smiled again and said, "The venue here is too small, right?" How many people can be accommodated to hear the sermon? ”

"What?" Tian Gongzi asked in surprise, "What did you say?" ”

"I say!" Zhuangzi stroked it with his hand and said, "This lecture hall is too small! Not many people! ”

"What do you say? Can't accommodate many people? ”

Zhuangzi smiled again and said, "As an indoor venue, it is enough earth. But! That's still too small for a preacher! ”

"Still too young? Do you see that? The pillars that built this lecture hall are bigger than the pillars in the king's palace, and the lecture hall in the Jixia school palace is taller and more spacious than the king's palace. ”

Tian Gongzi thought to himself: You preach in the Jixia School Palace, you can have a hundred seats all year round, and you will be a bull!

It's perennial! Not a day or two!

In the Jixia School Palace, there were newcomers, especially those who thought they were coaxing, and when they started to give lectures, many people came to listen to the lectures. In fact! Where did others come to listen to the lecture? It's about how embarrassed you are. A few days later! No one comes to listen to your nonsense anymore, only people who go around laughing at you!

"When my master Yang Zhu was in the Mojia branch altar in Song Guomeng County, that person at that time! I heard them say that there are about 30,000 people! Zhuangzi recalled.

Tian Gongzi waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about your master!" Your master is your master, you are you! If you preached, how many people would listen? ”

When Yang Zhu preached at the Mojia branch altar, Tian Gongzi also heard about it.

Of course! He heard about it later and heard it when he grew up. It is precisely because of Yang Zhu's preaching that the previous monarch Qi Huan opened the Jixia School Palace to attract talents from all over the world.

Back then, Yang Zhu preached at the Mojia branch altar, attracting tens of thousands of talented people from all the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it's a pity! Song did not leave a single person. Duke Qi Huan lamented the incompetence of the monarch of the Song Kingdom, so he opened the Jixia School Palace to attract talents from all over the world to come to the Qi Kingdom.

Zhuangzi was not humble at all and said: "When I preached in the square in front of the yamen in Qiyuan Town, for half a month, the venue was full, and thousands of people listened to the sermon......"

"Come on! You just blow it! If half of the people listen to your sermon here, you will be a bull! Did you know? There are more than 1,000 seats, and with the addition of standing seats, it can accommodate nearly 2,000 people. ”

Just when Zhuangzi was talking to Tian Gongzi, Yang Qing'er held a sword in his hand and quietly went to Meng Ke's side. She shook the sword in her hand and shouted at Meng Ke, "Don't run!" Say! Just say it here! Don't run! ”

"What do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do?"

The two guards beside Tian Gongzi hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Yang Qing'er.

Several escorting guards also hurriedly stopped in front of Meng Ke.

Rong'er was afraid that Yang Qing'er would mess around, so she also pulled her behind her.

"Say! Say! Say! I won't hit you! I won't kill you either! Make it clear! Don't make it clear? You can hide from today, and you can't hide from tomorrow! Unless you don't go out of the gate of the Jixia Academy! ”

Under the prevention of everyone, Yang Qinger did not make any more trouble.

Tian Gongzi left Zhuangzi and went to Meng Ke's side. Standing beside Meng Ke, he said to Yang Qing'er: "Go to the front!" There is a podium in front and seats above. ”

And then! Say to one of the guards, "Go down!" Let people prepare tea, today just right, Meng Ke represents Confucianism, Zhuangzi represents Taoism, and the two held a debate.

What do you think? ……”

"No way!" Yang Qing'er interrupted: "I have to make it clear about his scolding today!" ”

Tian Gongzi explained: "Meng Ke and Meng Caizi didn't scold! I promise! But? This involves the theoretical problem of Confucianism and Taoism! So! Must be debated!

The truth gets clearer the more it is argued, isn't it? If Meng Ke and Meng Caizi lose the debate, he must apologize to you! If? If he wins the debate, it means that he didn't scold your grandfather, how about it? ”

Yang Qing'er asked puzzledly: "What does this have to do with Taoist doctrine and Confucianism who is right and who is wrong?" He scolded my grandfather, I heard it with my own ears! This, this, this? ”

Tian Gongzi pressed his hands down and stopped: "He definitely didn't scold your grandfather!" He's playing, for example, didn't I just explain it to you? No? ”

Zhuangzi also stepped forward to persuade: "Sister Qing'er! You can't just listen to half a sentence when he finishes speaking. Listen to half a sentence and compete with each other, it's called 'taken out of context', Sister Qing'er! You let him finish talking! We are reasonable people! ”

Yang Qing'er snorted in her nose, and she didn't make any more trouble.

They stopped talking and walked to the podium.

Meng Ke said in his heart as he walked: "Who is he?" Is he a Zhuangzi? A disciple of Yang Zhu and the inheritor of Taoist doctrine? ”

Why is the world so small, how can you meet him in the Jixia School Palace?
