Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2667 Stop hitting

  Near Qinglong Temple.

   Zeng Jing is well dressed and has an elegant demeanor. Zeng Jing knew that he was an unknown person, but others didn't know, so he could pretend.

  After he left his hometown, he didn't have much fame, but this didn't prevent him from thinking that he was a good person and a celebrity.

  A good man shouldn't fight about everything, so he doesn't like fighting.

  Celebrities should give advice from above, so he doesn't like to argue.

  He only likes to comment, and his favorite is being a peacemaker.

  Because he found that commenting on others can invisibly improve his status, and being a peacemaker can often benefit both sides...

   This benefit can be money, but it doesn't have to be money.

Most ordinary people are not clear about some things, why they have to fight for some things, and sometimes even if they make sense, because of cognitive problems, most of these people still just pick up what they want to hear from it. It will not immediately change your original concept. Just like many ordinary people, no matter which company’s food seeds, they can make money anyway, and they don’t care whose chip it is. Once the illness is cured, it's over.

   But there are also some people who know.

  So these people will argue about whether to change it or not, what would be better...

   Then there are always a small group of people who play the role of peacemakers under the banner of moderation, but what they actually do, in a common saying, is to pull sidelines.

   Shouting, don't fight, we are brothers...

   Then frame the beaten person up, tie his hands and feet, pinch his tongue, but don’t even fart on the perpetrator.

   Or just dare to fart.

  For example, the dispute between Manchu and Han.

   Stop fighting, they are all from the Qing Dynasty!

   Whisper to the Manchus, kill a few, don’t get your hands dirty, these Han people are disobedient, I’ll educate them, master, calm down.

   Roaring at the Han people, look, what has this made you look like? Look, how many people died because of your struggle? This is all your responsibility! You are responsible! The Ming Dynasty was so corrupt, what was so good about the Ming Dynasty? Is it worth fighting for such a Ming Dynasty? Do you want to live your life? How can everyone live with you doing this, calling and calling, what kind of barbarian Huaxia is divided, what a shame!

  For example, the dispute between Chinese and Western medicine.

   Stop fighting, it’s all modern medicine!

  Smiling at the capital, you are right, what kind of disease is treated and what medicine is given if there is no money, we are not running a charity hall.

  Looking grim at the common people, they don’t need money to invest? People do not need money for scientific research? How can people survive with lower drug prices? High drug prices are not their problem, but your problem! Is the competition between Chinese and Western medicine interesting? Is Chinese medicine useful? If you want to practice Chinese medicine, even the medicinal materials will be discarded for you, no, the medicinal materials are not pure, how can you cure the disease? Traditional Chinese medicine is old fashioned, but now everyone is using modern medicine, so what is the difference between Chinese and Western medicine?

  Everyone stop fighting...

  Speak well if you have something to say.

   Sometimes such a theory can easily confuse people.

   So these peacemakers will take it out and confuse others.

  『Why is it necessary to distinguish between this loyalty, that loyalty, this filial piety, and that filial piety? ’ Zeng Jing closed the folding fan with a sound of righteousness, ‘They are all loyal and filial, how to divide them? There is no need to divide, right? It's like the ancient scriptures, the modern scriptures, they are all scriptures, there is no need to divide them, there is no need to fight! Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to study the scriptures together and be loyal and filial than to compete for these things? Does it make more sense? 』

   Zeng Jing's voice is very loud.

  Because he knew since he was a child that a loud voice is **** if there is no reason. Therefore, we must seize the highest and safest position as soon as we come up. For example, if someone steals a peach and is discovered, all you have to do is shout how can you steal a peach, then you can change from a watcher to a whistleblower, and you may even get a reward from the owner of the peach, eating some peaches for free.

  As for the complaints of other friends, Zeng Jing also has plausible words. I am a watcher. I saw the danger coming and reported it in advance. Is there something wrong? As for the content of the report, it doesn't matter. What's important is that I did warn and fulfilled my duty. What else can I say? As for you being caught up and beaten up, it's because you couldn't run fast, otherwise why didn't the others get beaten up? Alright, I'll give you a peach pit, don't cry, just play.

  『Don’t everyone know what “loyalty” means? Don't you know how "filial piety" is done? Is there any one of you who is not loyal and filial? What is there to argue about? It is said that Er Gong, in order to argue about this matter, actually..." Zeng Jing shook his head and sighed, his face full of incomprehension and sadness, "If there is a mistake, wouldn't it be a crime? Everyone is doing well, what are you fighting for? Aren't these scriptures all Han scriptures, aren't all of you here are loyal and filial people? Why are you fighting? What a mistake, what a mistake...』

   Zeng Jing likes to say such specious words, which seem to sound correct.

  He will not comment on those that are correct, because there is nothing to say, he will only comment on those that are easy to be confused and distorted, so that he can prove that he is smarter than both sides of the argument.

  He uses this to mark his neutral position and to use it to gain a detached position.

  Even things he is clearly arguing about are about himself.

   But he can be completely irrelevant, he is just a bystander...

On the surface, it is said that the ancient and modern texts are all scriptures, there is no difference, there is no need to argue, it seems very fair, but in fact, if the ancient texts are not contested, then the Jinwen Chenwei will definitely continue to flourish, so what problems will arise later , Zeng avoided talking about it.

On the surface, Zheng Xuan, Sima Hui, and Zheng Xuan fell ill because of arguing about loyalty and filial piety, and they are not good for their health. It sounds like they are caring and considerate, but in fact they are secretly accusing the two old men of being confused when they are old. It is better for a sensible person like me to understand. So is it possible to let Xian go?

   A group of people stood around Zeng Jing, listening and echoing.

  These observers and echoes may not really agree with what Zeng Jing said, but they are used to audition and echoes, accustomed to not thinking, and then they will soon forget and enter the next reincarnation.

  Lu Yu just passed by, heard it, and frowned at the side, then took a step forward to line up the crowd, and said to Zeng Jing: "Brother, what you said is wrong!" Loyalty and filial piety should be fought! There is no reason to argue! The Way of Loyalty and Filial Piety...』

  Lu Yuguan, Ning Wangkai and the three have been in Qinglong Temple for a while, so they are somewhat famous.

   When Zeng Jing saw Lu Yu coming, he muttered in his heart. He naturally recognized Lu Yu, but he pretended not to know him at the moment, and quickly interrupted Lu Yu's follow-up words, "Wait! etc! Who is this…"

  Lu Yu is an honest boy. Seeing Zeng Jing asking, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm next to Lu Yu." I don't know the last name of brother Gao? 』

   "Oh..." Zeng Jing also cupped his hands, "I have admired you for a long time. I am Zeng Jing. I have seen brother Lu. 』

  『The debate on loyalty and filial piety is not insignificant, nor is it aimless... 』Lu Yu still remembered the topic just now, so after greeting him, he continued, "Only when people know loyalty and filial piety can they be sensible, and more importantly..."

  "Uh, wait, wait..." Zeng Jing interrupted Lu Yu again, "Brother Lu, stay here for a while, stay here for a while... Well, I heard that your elder brother once served Yuan Benchu?" I don't know if it was Lu Zhonglang's death? Also, Brother Lu lived in Shandong for a long time, didn't he live well, why did he come to Chang'an? 』

  Where does Lu Yu live and what is his family background? Is it related to the debate on loyalty and filial piety?

   Obviously not.

  But here at Zeng Jing, there must be.

  To be a good peacemaker, one must be able to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses, and focus on key points.

  Zeng Jing is very good at focusing on key points. Zeng Jing knew that if he argued with Lu Yu about "loyalty and filial piety", he would definitely lose. Because the current concept of "loyalty and filial piety" in Dahan has deviated from the original meaning, although it is still called "loyalty and filial piety", it is actually just like the prophecy in Jinwen Confucianism, full of various selfish desires.

Jinwen Confucianism and Guwen Confucianism are both Confucianism, which is not wrong, but in Jinwen Confucianism, because too many gentry families intentionally or unintentionally mixed various prophecies into Jinwen Confucianism, and then He tried his best to turn the Confucian classics that belonged to the public into private biography of a certain family, just like a schoolboy, partying together and rejecting dissidents.

   This problem has become very serious now, to the point that Emperor Han Ling, as an emperor, would be attacked by a group of people regardless of whether he wanted to open a comprehensive college. What about the promotion of filial piety and integrity as agreed in the early Han Dynasty? What about recommending talents? Why is it that only people from aristocratic families can be regarded as talents and can be officials, and those people in the Hongdu Academy are not talents, they are all prostitutes, and they can't be officials anymore? What is the original definition of talent? It must be measured by the talent's own ability, conduct, morality, etc., how can it be determined by saying where he was born?

   Then a peacemaker jumped out, everyone, stop arguing, stop fighting!

  Your Majesty, look at what this Hongdu Academy did, which caused everyone to have opinions, why not withdraw it? Isn't it just a school!

  Everyone, as ministers, how can you not give the emperor face like this? His Majesty withdrew the academy, so everyone can stop making noise!

   Do you have something to say?

   It seems that all the contradictory points are Hongdu Xuegong.

   But actually?

  Some peacemakers are really stupid, but most peacemakers are just pretending to be stupid.

  It is in the interest of the "majority" to settle down the matter and let others go. If there is a real debate and the winner or loser is decided, wouldn't it be necessary to change yourself? Whether it is to change concepts or behaviors, it always takes more effort. Many people think that the mean is a compromise, or that it is just a compromise, just like Zeng Jing, who thinks that he knows the mean and compromise best.

  So now, Zeng Jing still says that the ancient and modern texts are the same.

  He felt that he had already compromised, or that he had compromised for those who study Jinwen scriptures, so what will happen to those who study ancient scriptures? Haven't you already made a mistake? He has admitted that the ancient text and the modern text are the same, isn't that enough?

  Because in Chang'an, after a series of debates, the prophecies in this article were deleted. Jinwen is no longer the same. Many people have begun to realize that the prophecy is false and problematic. However, Zeng Jing studied the Jinwen Jing before, and it was a revised version of the Jinwen Jing. Oh, isn't everything I learned before going to waste? Are you going to start over again?

  So Zeng Jing kept his mouth shut about prophecy and wei. He only said that both modern and ancient texts are scriptures, so stop fighting and fighting.

   If you continue to fight, the underpants of those who study Jinwen Confucianism will be exposed!

  The same is true for loyalty and filial piety.

   Zeng Jing was a famous "filial son" before!

  He claimed that after his parents died, he went bankrupt and buried his parents with debts. Don't look at him wearing good clothes now, but in fact...

  This kind of "filial piety" is in line with the concept of "filial piety" before the Han Dynasty. The more money spent on funerals after the death of parents, the more "filial piety".

  As for the "filial piety" of parents during their lifetime, others may see it, but others can't eat it!

  Only after the money spent after death, some people can sit down with a smile and eat it. So some people preach that they want to spend money after death, and the more money they have, the more "filial piety". 』

If Zeng Jing agrees with the new concept of "loyalty and filial piety", then he is not "fulfilling his responsibilities" to his parents, but "exceeding his responsibilities" after he died instead of "fulfilling his responsibilities" to his parents. Wasted again?

  At the same time, his reputation as a "big dutiful son" will also be reduced or even questioned.

  Can Zeng Jing accept this? So Zeng Jing had to confuse the difference between modern Chinese and ancient Chinese, and he had to emphasize the pointlessness of arguing about loyalty and filial piety. He had to shout loudly, "Stop arguing, stop fighting!" Everyone is the same! 』

   Otherwise he would be different.

  So he didn't let Lu Yu speak smoothly, he began to take things out of context, he began to confuse concepts.

  It's not that he doesn't understand, he's just pretending to be confused.

  It’s as if someone would use the novel as a historical fact to argue, scold Mr. Luo’s Three Kingdoms for being unscientific, and then criticize Mahou’s Three Kingdoms for not being rigorous.

   Is this really confused, or is it pretending to be confused?

   There are some public knowledge in later generations, who seem to look fair and just, and then say that seeds are all seeds, and whoever produces them is not the same? Chips are all chips, isn't it the same who makes them? Medicine is all medicine, isn't it the same system?

  Even if these people know that their throats are stuck and bullied, they still shout, everyone, stop fighting, stop fighting, what are you doing to specialize in those old crafts?

  Are these people really confused, or are they pretending to be confused?

   There is also the classic saying, "Leave the facts alone."

...

   Zeng Jing must be pretending to be confused. He not only pretended not to know Lu Yu, but also pretended not to know Lu Yu's experience, and then dug a big hole.

  Brother Lu Yu served as a small official in a local county and county. He didn't serve Yuan Shao, but just received a share of money and food to support the family, and then died in the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. In the end, Zeng Jing said so, but it seemed like Lu Yu's elder brother took the initiative to become an official of Yuan Shao, and it was Lu Zhi's death? ! Lu Zhi was not afraid of power, gave up his official position and returned to his hometown, and then turned around and let Lu Yu's elder brother serve Yuan Shao? What does this mean?

Lu Zhi died of illness, of course Lu Yu had to keep his filial piety, plus Lu Yu's elder brother also died in the war, Lu Yu had to take on family responsibilities when he was young, and take care of the whole family, finally there was no more fighting between Jizhou and Youzhou. Once stabilized, Lu Yu will have the opportunity to leave home and travel. These, in Zeng Jing's mouth, became "long-term residence" in Shandong, living well...

   This long residence is of course remarkable.

  Does living for one day count as long-term residence?

  Is living for one year considered a long-term residence?

  A man who has lived in Shandong for a long time came to Chang'an, what is his intention?

  A person who has lived in Shandong for a long time came to argue, what is his intention?

Of course Lu Yu could understand the implication, but although he understood it in his heart, he was clumsy and not good at quick arguments, so after being disrupted by Zeng Jing again and again, he fell into the trap of Zeng Jing. in the trap.

   Lu Yu narrated his situation, trying to explain the overall situation, but people around him really cared about Lu Yu's situation, and how many bowls of noodles did he eat?

  Many people just want to see blood.

   Zeng Jing knew this, so after he led Lu Yu on the path of self-realization, he was very relaxed and at ease...

  Come on, come and prove that your father is your father and your brother is your brother.

  I don’t care about the good or bad of the present or the past, or the right or wrong of loyalty and filial piety. I just need to look at the evidence. You have to prove that your father is your father and your elder brother is your elder brother. Then we will talk about other things.

  Everyone looked at Lu Yu anxiously, blushed, and burst into laughter, very happy.

  The more anxious Lu Yu was, the more difficult it was to talk, and the happier everyone was.

Ha ha ha ha.

  Do the onlookers care who wins and who loses?

   also care, they will go with whoever wins, but what they want more is joy, and sometimes joy is more important than being right.

  Wang Kai came late for a while, and then saw Lu Yu embarrassed, he was furious, turned his head and saw Zeng Jing, but felt a little familiar, thought for a while, and then suddenly...

  Wang Kai pushed aside the crowd, walked up to Zeng Jing in a few steps, grabbed Zeng Jing's collar, and shouted, "Little thief! So you are here! 』

  『What...what (O_o)??』 Zeng Jing didn’t know, so he said, “You’ve got the wrong person! 』

  『I didn’t admit my mistake! You thief, what do you want to steal? ! ’ Wang Kai shouted loudly, ‘Why? Wearing decent clothes can pretend to be a good person? ! 』

  『You, you, you, you spitting blood! Zeng Jing twisted Wang Kai's hand, trying to break free from Wang Kai's control, "You wronged me!" Wronged a good man! I am not a thief! Not a thief! 』

  Wang Kai is not good at literature, but his family wealth is good, so he eats a majestic body, so Zeng Jing can break free at will?

  『What is wronged, you stole five books in the Anthology Bookstore last time! Got caught! ’Wang Kai still yelled, ‘I’m right there! seen it myself! 』

  『I gave the money! Give money! ’ Zeng Jing’s face was a little pale, he didn’t say whether he had stolen it, ‘I was paid! 』

  Wang Kai wasn't actually there, but Wang Kai is rich, so basically he is a popular big customer everywhere, and the bookstore is no exception. So he saw that the guys in the bookstore were very vigilant about Zeng Jing's arrival, and he asked when his expression was wrong, and then the bookstore guys naturally didn't need to protect Zeng Jing's secrets.

  『You stole five books! Then just want to give money for a book! The result was caught! ’Wang Kai sneered, ‘You call this giving money? I go to your house to remove all the books in your house, and then give me the money for one book, okay? The shopkeeper of the bookstore was kind enough to not delve into this matter, and he didn’t ask you for money for the other four books as gifts, but you are not ashamed of it, and dare to flaunt it here! What right do you have to bark here? ! What face do you have to talk about loyalty and filial piety? ! Pooh! Thanks for saying that you are a scholar! 』

  Wang Kai cursed, and then pushed Zeng Jing.

   Zeng Jing staggered and almost fell to the ground.

  Everyone around booed.

  Zeng Jing hurriedly covered his face and fled with his head in his arms.

   Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the people around them slowly dispersed while talking about what happened just now, and then went to find the next lively place.

  Lu Yu stood there a little dazedly, "He... is he really a book thief? 』

Wang Kai nodded and said, "That's right, and it's been stolen more than once... Well, there must be more than five books... The bookstore guy said they kept losing books for a while, and then they noticed...Brother Lu, why are you arguing with this kind of person?" ? If such a person knew good and evil, good and bad, he would not steal books! 』

  Lu Yu scratched her head, "I thought...forget it, I really didn't see it..."
