I

Zhao Han stood with his hands behind his back, and said aloud, "There is no need to elaborate, the article has already written it clearly. If anyone has any questions, just say it, and I will answer it myself."

Insane!

"Okay," announced Cai Maode. "Let's discuss gender equality first. Who wants to speak?"

The teachers were silent, unwilling to argue with Tong Sheng.

"I'll ask!"

Fei Ruyu stood up suddenly. This guy is in his 20s, and he is still a child.

Zhao Han smiled and said, "Senior, please speak."

Fei Ruyu was full of confidence: "Do you know the three obediences and the four virtues?"

Zhao Han said: "Three obediences: obey the father before marriage, obey the husband after marriage, obey the son when the husband dies. Four virtues: women's virtue, women's words, women's appearance, women's merit."

Fei Ruyu asked: "Since the father, the husband, and the son are obeyed, how can there be equality between men and women?"

Zhao Han asked back, "What is private respect?"

"What?" Fei Ruyu didn't understand.

Zhao Han sneered: "You asked me with "Ritual", I have already answered what are the three obediences. I asked you with "Ritual", why don't you answer what is private respect?"

Fei Ruyu only knew the three obediences and four virtues, how could he know that the "three obediences" came from "Rituals"?

Even if this scripture is a scholar of the "Book of Rites", the imperial examination will not take the "Ritual" test.

If you don't take the imperial examination, it's still a fart!

Zhao Han had a plan, he had read the Confucian classics over the past three years.I don't recite it, just memorize the general meaning, and deliberately find faults in the book.

Zhao Han ignored Fei Ruyu, but looked around: "Three Cong is from "Ritual", if you haven't read this book, don't come and tell me nonsense!"

When this statement came out, the audience was embarrassed.

Not to mention ordinary teachers and students, even the mountain chief Fei Yuanlu has never read "Rituals".

Suddenly, Yuyao scholar Zhu Zhiyu stood up: "The father is the son's respect, the father is alive, the son must not respect his mother, but only respect his mother privately. Private respect is also. The meaning of 'no two days in the sky' just shows the inequality between men and women. "

Zhao Han asked, "Since I respect my mother privately, it can be seen that the mother is respected, so why does the saying 'the husband dies, the son follows'?"

Zhu Zhiyu explained: "If you are not married, you obey your father. If you are married, you obey your husband. When your husband dies, you obey your son. Women respect men. There are no two days in the sky. his son."

"Etiquette" is a thing to determine the rules of etiquette, the purpose is to consolidate the ruling order.

If it is placed in the royal family, the above statement can be understood as: the emperor is not dead, and the prince wants to respect the emperor, he can only respect the queen in private.When the emperor dies, the prince becomes the new emperor, and the queen becomes the queen mother, then the queen mother must respect the emperor (son).

This is a question of the transformation of superiority and inferiority, the same is true of the royal family, and the same is true of the people.

Zhao Han looked at Zhu Zhiyu and felt helpless.

Alas, meet someone who knows how to do it!

Historically, Zhu Zhiyu's academic thought has gone through three periods.

At this time, Zhu Zhiyu did not turn to practical learning, but devoted himself to the study of pre-Qin ancient learning.He worshipped several teachers before and after, and they all became officials one after another.The teacher was enjoined by an imperial edict, and Zhu Zhiyu could only travel all over the place. During this time, he followed Cai Maode everywhere.

Zhao Han's half-baked knowledge can only bully a layman, and immediately catch him blind when he encounters a professional.

Then mess around, pull the opponent to your own level, and then defeat him with your own rich experience!

Zhao Han had already made a plan: "Excuse me, senior, why did the father kill the eldest son for three years?"

If it is translated into the vernacular, that is, as a father, why should the eldest son be mourned for three years?

Zhu Zhiyu replied: "The eldest son inherits the ancestral body and bears the heavy responsibility of inheriting the ancestral temple. As a father, it is not for the son's mourning, but for the inheritance of the ancestral temple."

Just waiting for your words!

Zhao Han asked loudly, "In today's world, is there any father who mourned for his son for three years?"

Zhu Zhiyu was speechless, and said bravely, "No."

Zhao Han said in a loud voice, "Women's three obediences are the etiquette of Shang and Zhou. Now that the customs have changed, why do you still need to obey? If you want to obey, then come with a full set. When the father mourns for his son for three years, I will admit that men are superior to women!"

"well said!"

Fei Ruyi applauded.

Zhu Zhiyu was stunned: I'm telling you the truth, and you're talking about customs with me, do you want to be so shameless?

A teacher named Li Sheng said: "This is not about changing customs, but the collapse of rituals and music. Since rituals and music have collapsed, scholars such as me should follow the rituals and not be in tune with the world!"

Zhao Han cupped his hands and said, "Sir, may I ask how long the "Rituals" stipulates that a subject should be mourned for the emperor? When the emperors of the Ming Dynasty passed away, how long should I let my subjects mourning? Is it possible that the Daming emperor is sympathetic to the people and does not abide by the rituals of Shang and Zhou dynasties? Is it also taking the lead in the collapse of ritual music?"

The teacher was speechless.

There is no way to say it, to say it is to slander you!

Cai Maode couldn't help admiring: "What a foolish man, this is a solid white technique!"

What is the technique of whiteness?

sophistry!

Zhao Han turned to Cai Maode, cupped his hands, and said, "The inspector said that I was adamant, and I came to speak upright that night. Teachers and students, listen carefully!"

Chapter 062 [The Theory of Position]

Standing in the center of the debate, Zhao Han said loudly, "Why do I say that everyone is equal, this is the teaching of the sages..."

"Bullshit!"

Not only was it hard to convince the public, but it also aroused everyone's anger.

Facing everyone's scolding, Zhao Han still smiled: "Excuse me, everyone, who has read "Zhu Ziyu Lei"?"

A teacher named Chen Lide said: "The book of Zhu Zi, of course, is to be read."

Zhao Han cupped his hands and said, "Sir, how did Zhu Zi think the first person was born at the beginning of the world?"

Chen Lide replied, "It is born from the transformation of qi, and the essence of two and five forms together."

"May I ask again, sir, is No.1 in this world male or female?" Zhao Han tilted his head and looked at the other party.

Chen Lide hesitated and said, "This... should be a man."

Zhao Han smiled and said, "Zhu Zi didn't say it, sir, did he guess it?"

Chen Lide avoided the question: "mostly men."

Zhao Han ignored this person and said to many teachers and students: "Zhu Zi talked about the birth of No. 1, but he didn't say whether it was a man or a woman. .Zhu Zi also said: The principle is the same, the qi is different, and the five elements have their own nature..."

"All things in the heaven and earth are born with the qi of yin and yang and the five elements, and they all have the principle of heaven and earth. The same is true for people!"

"Regardless of men or women, whether the emperor's relatives or the people, whether they are of good or low status, they are all human beings."

"Since we are human, we are all saints and sages in the innate, but only when we are born, we are blinded by acquired turbidity. As long as we wash away the turbidity, we will be able to perceive the principles of heaven. The Book of Rites is going to be new every day, every day, and every day. This is the principle." Mencius said that everyone can be Yao and Shun, and this is the principle. The way of great learning in the "Great Learning" is to be clear and virtuous, to be close to the people, and to stop at the highest good, this is the principle."

"Do you think so?"

It is all the words of the sages, and there is absolutely no way to refute them.

Zhao Han quoted "Zhuzi Yulei", "Book of Rites", "Mencius" and "Great Learning", all of which he said was the same truth - everyone can lead to Yao and Shun.

This is the way of the university and the ultimate pursuit of ancient scholars.

To oppose this remark is to dig the foundation of Neo-Confucianism, and even more so to dig the foundation of Confucianism.

Zhao Han continued, "Since everyone can lead to Yao and Shun, and everyone can be a sage, isn't everyone equal? ​​Since everyone is equal, isn't it equality between men and women, equality in all occupations, equality between good and bad?"

"I disagree!"

A teacher stood up: "You are still a technique of solid whiteness, it's just confusing."

Zhao Han smiled and said, "Where is the confusion?"

The teacher said, "The person who is spoken by the sages is a gentleman."

Zhao Han looked bewildered: "In your opinion, the sages of ancient and modern times only identify with gentlemen as human beings? Villains are not human beings? Women are not human beings? Untouchables are not human beings? Bai, Your Excellency is a white horse that is not a horse, and a rock that is not a stone!"

The teacher asked sharply, "Could it be that women can also serve Yao and Shun?"

"Could it be that women can't go to Yao and Shun? Did the ancient and modern sages say this?" Zhao Han asked back.

"Such a simple truth, the sages disdain to preach." The teacher also began to mess around.

Zhao Han smiled and said, "Since the saint didn't say it, you made it up!"

Suddenly, a boy stood up: "The sage said it. Confucius said: Only women and villains are difficult to raise!"

Zhao Han immediately sneered: "Your Excellency, have you really read the Analects? This woman and villain specifically refer to the concubine who seduces the lord! Do you dare to go home and tell your mother what you said just now?"

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became cheerful.

That Tong Sheng raised his finger to Zhao Han and said excitedly, "You are misinterpreting what Confucius said!"

Zhao Han was a little speechless: "I'm too lazy to tell you, you not only don't read the Analects, you don't know Zhu Zi's annotations. Women and villains, especially the charmer, the concubine, that's what Zhu Zi said, not me making up. of."

The boy was hesitant to speak, looked around at the teachers and students, found that they were all laughing, and immediately sat down in shame.

The three equality, the equality of the good and the cheap, is the most difficult to be accepted by the gentry.

However, no one dared to refute the equality of the good and the bad, because that would go against the principles of the sages.

There is no way for Baiye Equality to refute. Confucius highly respects Guan Zhong, and Guan Zhong has worked as a businessman and other occupations - this is easy to be countered by Zhao Han.

Then hold on to the equality of men and women!

A scholar got up and said: "Men are superior to women, and the husband is the key to the wife. This is the perfect principle of heaven and earth. I am the author of the Book of Changes. . This statement describes, isn't it true that the heaven is superior to the earth, and the man is superior to the woman? You don't have to argue any more!"

Good guy, after so long, Zhao Han was finally caught in the spotlight by the bayonet.

Cai Maode laughed suddenly, he wanted to see how Zhao Han would deal with it, this sentence was too lethal.

"The Book of Changes" is the ancestor of the Baijing, and "Xi Ci" is written by Confucius.All the ideas of male superiority and inferiority come from here!

Fifty years ago, Li Zhi advocated equality between men and women, and he was also stunned by this sentence.

To what extent is Li Zhi deviant?

This gentleman directly pointed out that there is a problem with the "Book of Changes", directly denied the existence of Tai Chi, and directly denied the existence of Tianli.He said that all things are born from two, it is the universe, it is a man and a woman, the universe is equal, and men and women are equal.What Tai Chi and what Heavenly Principles are all bullshit.

There are countless admirers and countless haters!

Zhao Han clasped his fists and said, "May I ask your honorable name?"

Xiucai was hot-tempered and reluctantly returned the salute, so he hurriedly said: "I'm here, Liu Ziren, the character is Changqing. Don't gossip, answer my question quickly!"

This scholar is the "Brother Changqing" who is shouting to rebel.

Zhao Han is very smart, but he will not answer directly, but ask around the corner: "Feng Xun, the former magistrate of Yanshan, how is this person?"

Liu Ziren sneered: "If you don't learn and have no skills, you are also a scavenger."

Zhao Han asked again: "He is a juror, you are a scholar. He is an official, and you are a citizen. Is he honorable? Are you humble?"

Liu Ziren was furious: "How can you judge the superiority and inferiority like this? He and I are both scholars, and we are all people of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority! As far as virtue is concerned, I am honored and he is humbled!"

"Admiration, admiration!" Zhao Han bowed respectfully and laughed.

Liu Ziren said impatiently, "Hurry up and get back to the point, don't talk nonsense."

Zhao Han did not dare to directly deny the "Book of Changes", and continued to detour: "If you use virtue to determine the superiority and inferiority, the ignorant rulers of all dynasties and the worthy ministers of all dynasties, who is honored and who is inferior?"

"Uh..." Liu Ziren was at a loss for words for a moment, but at the same time he realized that he had fallen into the trap of Zhao Han's words.

Zhao Han chased after him fiercely: "Zhu Zi is a saint and a minister. Is it Zhu Zizun, or the emperor of the Song Dynasty? Is it Zhu Zibei, or the emperor of the Song Dynasty?"

"This, this..." Liu Ziren had difficulty answering, his face blushed and his neck was thick, and he said angrily, "You are talking about that strong vernacular again, don't go too far, first explain the "Book of Changes" clearly!"

Zhao Han continued with a smile: "Zhu Zi is a saint, the emperor is the emperor. Confucius is a saint, and Zhou Tianzi is the emperor. The saint and the emperor, may I ask you, who is honorable and who is inferior?"

No one answered, no one dared to answer, no one could answer.

Those with quick minds, including Cai Maode, Fei Yuanlu, Pang Chunlai, Zheng Zhongkui, Zhu Zhiyu... are all thoughtful, fearful and excited, feeling that something is about to pop out!

Zhao Han stood tall and looked up at the sky, as if speaking to the sky:

"The honor of a saint is in his virtue, which I call personality."

"The honor of the Son of Heaven, in his position of authority, I call it a person's position."
