章 34: Chapter 34 Neo-Confucianism
In addition to Meng Kuan, a young talent, those who came to visit the Imperial Academy were also his teacher, Zhao Changbai, the Minister of Rites of Dali.
If only Meng Kuan comes, Curson only needs to send his disciples to greet him.
But as Zhao Changbai was a great scholar in Dali, in terms of seniority and Kou Song, Yuan Guang was of the same generation.
Daxia naturally cannot lose his etiquette.
Curzon himself went to the door to greet him.
Countless students from the Imperial College stood on both sides and looked at each other from a distance.
Zhao Changbai came to visit today as a Confucian peer, so he did not wear official uniform, just an ordinary green shirt.
Worthy of being a great scholar from Dali, he walks with a certain magnanimity.
Next to him, Meng Kuan was even more proud of his youth, his face beaming with youth.
"That's Meng Kuan! He's got a good skin."
"I heard that his manners and manners make people feel like spring breeze."
"Although Shi Shi won several competitions in Luodu, the losers also admired him very much."
"Confucian disciples' self-cultivation is naturally not comparable to that of other schools. It's a pity that he is from Bailu Academy. It would be great if he was a student of our Imperial College."
"There is such a person who already has a great demeanor at such a young age. I am afraid that it is difficult for anyone in the younger generation of our Imperial College to compare with him."
"Doesn't that mean that our Imperial College is destined to lose?"
"Not necessarily. Master Jijiu may have a way."
Countless students from the Imperial College were discussing in low voices.
Although many people think Meng Kuan is quite extraordinary, they still hope to dampen Meng Kuan's spirit. After all, he is here to cause trouble, so there is no reason to turn his elbows outward.
"Brother Changbai, after three years of separation, your style remains the same."
Curzon laughed.
No matter how much he or she is itching for the other person in his heart, it doesn't show any signs of it on the surface.
"Three years ago, I went on a mission to Daxia. I sat down with Kou Ji to discuss the truth over wine, and lost half the battle. Three years later, I'm going to compete with my disciples on how to teach them."
Zhao Changbai was obviously brooding about what happened three years ago, and he felt a bit gunpowder as soon as he opened his mouth.
Cou Song welcomed Zhao Changbai and others into the lobby, accompanied by Yuan Guang and several gentlemen from the Imperial College.
There are also some leaders of the younger generation, such as Ning Yuan and others.
"Kou Jijiu, Mr. Yuan, this junior is here to visit today. I have a question in my mind that I would like to ask for advice."
Not long after the senior fellows from the Imperial College sat down, Meng Kuan spoke.
After hearing Meng Kuan's words, Yuan Guang and Cou Song looked at each other, knowing that the other party couldn't wait to start attacking.
The so-called asking for advice is actually to raise questions, raise questions, and then debate based on them.
Meng Kuan came to visit and was the first to propose the question, which gave him an advantage.
"I wonder if Junior Brother Meng Kuan has any questions?"
A man in his thirties stood up. He was not tall, but he gave off a very stable temperament.
Of course, it may also have something to do with his relatively fat physique. It was Shi Ling, Curzon's eldest disciple.
He has followed Curzon since he was ten years old, and it has been twenty years now.
There were several opportunities to become an official in the court, but he refused them all and concentrated on studying knowledge.
Curzon described him in four words: "He is as wise as a fool."
"Senior Brother Shi Ling is here. He is our senior brother. Over the years, he has often preached and taught on behalf of Lord Jijiu."
"Senior Brother Shi Ling is a master of scriptures and is familiar with the classics of sages. Although Meng Kuan is powerful, he is definitely no match for Senior Brother Shi Ling."
Shi Ling was quite prestigious in the academy and gave a boost to the students in the Imperial Academy.
But there was no joy on Curzon's face.
He had read Meng Kuan's works. Although he was a little immature, he had already become a scholar.
He knew that although his student Shi Ling was very powerful, discussing Taoism was not his strong point, and it was very difficult to win against Meng Kuan.
"Junior Brother Meng Kuan, if you have any questions, you might as well tell them and listen."
Shi Ling said lightly with a smile on his face.
No matter the outcome, this calmness made many people nod secretly.
You must know that momentum is very important in discussing Taoism. If you lose in terms of momentum, there will be no suspense next.
Meng Kuan is also confident.
"In the past few years, I, many great scholars at White Deer Academy, have read and studied the classics of saints, thought hard day and night, and discovered that everything in the world follows a certain law, and this law is called principle."
"Principle is the most essential thing in the world, and it is also the most correct. All things rely on reason to flourish."
"But people will lose themselves and lose their reason in the chaos and intertwining of all things in the world. Therefore, we should keep the natural principles and eliminate human desires."
"I wonder if Senior Brother Shi Ling thinks so?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall suddenly became silent.
Preserve the laws of nature and destroy human desires.
At White Deer Academy, many people have been seeking a new academic thought.
This idea was gradually perfected through the painstaking research and efforts of many great scholars.
At this moment, Meng Kuan's sentence "preserve the laws of nature and destroy human desires" summarizes this kind of thinking.
Although many people do not agree with this concept, there is no doubt that it is more systematic and advanced than previous Confucian concepts.
Elevate loyalty, filial piety, integrity, and righteousness to the level of natural principles, and natural principles are correct.
Sure enough, the smile on Shi Ling's face had solidified at this moment, and he opened his mouth, but could not utter a word.
Obviously, Shi Ling has lost this debate.
Not only Shi Ling, but also great scholars like Yuan Guang and Kou Song were thinking hard.
Meng Kuan glanced at everyone in the Imperial Academy, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
"When I came to visit the Imperial College this time, the dean wrote a picture and asked his disciples to give it to several seniors. I hope the seniors will hang it in the lobby so that the senior brothers in the Imperial College can study together."
It's a bit excessive that a calligraphy written by the dean of White Deer Academy should be hung in the lobby of the Imperial College.
But at this moment, his words of "exerting justice and destroying human desires" had already silenced everyone, and no one spoke.
After Meng Kuan finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and someone immediately brought up a roll of rice paper and unfolded it.
There are two big characters written on it: "Neo-Confucianism".
The moment this calligraphy was unfolded, all the calligraphy and paintings in the entire room instantly became eclipsed.
It seems that the Imperial College's cultural heritage and luck have been suppressed.
The expressions of Cou Song and Yuan Guang changed even more.
When Meng Kuan told his theory just now, they felt that they could not refute it, but at this moment they suddenly woke up.
The other party is trying to establish a new ideological system, and this ideological system will undoubtedly shake the foundation of the Imperial College.
If this concept cannot be refuted, then the ideology of the Imperial College will collapse, and White Deer Academy will become the dominant one.
And Meng Kuan's visit to the Imperial College was not just to show off his power to Dali, but was itself a war between White Deer Academy and the Imperial College.
The academic dispute, the battle of ideas, and even more the battle of orthodoxy.
Meng Kuan was just a tool for the great scholar from White Deer Academy to spread his ideas.
Otherwise, Meng Kuan would not have such knowledge at such a young age.
It's just that the matter has reached this point and is irreversible.
As soon as the word "reason" came out, the entire Imperial College's context and luck began to fall silent.
If this concept cannot be refuted, then the Imperial College will never be able to compete with White Deer Academy.
Bailu Academy will completely surpass the Imperial College and become the orthodox Confucian school.
