    "Thank you, Brother Qinsou." Shen Qian gently flicked his sleeves and stood up. Although he smiled indifferently at Tang Ke, his eyes were full of disdain when he glanced at the other students.  What else does Shen Qian care about now?  It turned out that he still held the mentality of peace being the most important and did not want to conflict with these people.  Now, it's not that he looks down on these people, but he absolutely looks down on them.  You said that a group of people have just entered the inner house less than a year ago. People who don¡¯t know whether they will be able to break into the upper house in the future have the nerve to look down on others and exclude others. Some even start a fight and rely on others.  You don¡¯t even want to lose face Do you know where others are coming from? ????????????????????????? With this kind of quality and heart, you still have the nerve to open your mouth and shut up, a gentleman?  Not to mention that at least 80% of the people here will not be able to enter the upper house. Even if they really have the ability to enter the upper house, what will happen?  Shangshe is only the top class of the official school. Although the number of students is small, it has no advantages compared to the private schools that aim to train super elites. Even the most basic level of the imperial examination is still difficult for the students.  There is hope of guaranteeing a refund, and the withdrawal rate is generally only about one-third. After entering Beijing, 90% of them will be refunded. Calculate how low this ratio is.  This is about sacrificing life.  Unless outsiders are very powerful, they don't have to think about official career at all. They just learn some culture to create more ways to make a living in the future. That's why Shen Mai has no sympathy for Shen Cheng's people who have been studying in the state for some years.  What hope.  As for the internal students, they are the generals among the cripples. They are a little better than the external students, and they still have some hope of getting into the upper house. I am afraid that none of the people in this room can be admitted to the Jinshi.  Then what qualifications do you have to put your eyes above others and look down on others?  Shen Qian didn't feel that he was any better than others, but he really had no interest in being with such a group of self-righteous people. He bowed to Sun Xueyu who was sitting behind the podium in a daze, and then looked around the room.  Zhou Zhou smiled and said: "I don't agree with what the fellow students have just said. Confucius once said, 'Eating and drinking, men and women, are where the great desires of people exist.' This sentence is in the "Book of Rites". I believe it is based on the  You don't need to read the book now. What is a person? No matter whether it is a mob or a gentleman, they all have this great desire. And both men and women need gold and land for food and drink. Why do you think a gentleman has the ability?  How can you get rid of such worldly desires by following them? " At this point, Shen Qian deliberately stopped to let the sentient beings refute him, but they were opposed for the sake of opposition in the first place, and it was only because of the large number of people that no one was caught in it.  Reasoning denies this truth, and the shouting is quite loud.  Who dares to refute what Shen Qian says now?  The house was naturally quiet. Even Tang Ke, who had nothing to do with it, blushed slightly and subconsciously sat down.  Shen Qian had no ill feelings towards Tang Ke, and was even quite grateful to him. Thinking of having to take his words and throw them to the ground, he felt a little embarrassed, so he smiled apologetically before continuing: "  This reminded me of something. In ancient times, brave men could snatch food from the mouths of tigers and leopards. However, if they took away their food, they would violently fight. Unless they were killed, there was no other way for the beasts to do this, and humans were kind.  Where to go? Not to mention taking away their food and clothing, even if" "Brother Zhong Hui, I'm afraid that's not right? Scholars compare animals to humans, do you still have the word "min" in your heart? "Yes, how can you despise the people like this?"  Can you be considered a gentleman? " "Studying is required to become an official. Such thoughts" " Anyway, today we used excuses to ask for permission, and the students didn't intend to save any face for Shen Qian, so it was easy to find him.  "Talk", a student member didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and immediately started to speak, and a large group of people followed him and "charged" him.  However, Shen Qian didn't even leave any room for words, and immediately continued in a loud voice: "'My husband is also the one who corrects the herdsmen's evil deeds.' What is the meaning of the word 'mu' in it?" "This" "This shepherd"  Can the word be interpreted in this way" "This was not said by Confucius, but it was written by the great sage Zuo Qiuming, whom Confucius also admired. Do you have the ability to refute it?  The guys who were shouting the loudest suddenly became silent. One guy wanted to refute it, but if you think about it carefully, although the word "mu" means "treating", if you look closely at the mentality it expresses, isn't that what it means?  So he also lost his temper.  Shen Qian didn't even look at them, and continued: "In ancient times, there were few people and many animals. If it weren't for people and nests, it's hard to say if there would still be people today, so people can't be compared to animals. Gentleman,  The self-righteousness of the mob is so ridiculous.¡± ¡°False!¡± Another friend responded unconvinced, then blushed and lowered his head. ¡°It¡¯s just a discussion now,¡± said the younger brother.  ?These are just to say that a gentleman is also a human being. To become a gentleman is to cultivate one's moral character and restrain one's selfish desires. It does not mean that there are no human desires.  It is difficult for a gentleman to get rid of human desires. He can only restrain them as much as possible. How can he force people to give up their selfish desires?  If you can't do this but force yourself to do it, wouldn't it be useless learning? What's the point of learning?  So what Confucius meant is that a gentleman should regard loyalty and righteousness as his treasure, and put gold and jade at the expense of land.  A gentleman wants to govern the country and the herdsmen. If he treats the gold and jade land as a treasure like the mob, he will definitely compete with the people. Executing the people will harm the people, and the country will be destroyed soon. This is the key to governing the people.  It's not that a gentleman doesn't know that gold and jade land are treasures, but after cultivating his moral integrity, he knows that only by valuing loyalty and trustworthiness over gold and jade land can the country be peaceful. Only the country can be peaceful.  Only a gentleman can live in peace in the temple. What does gold and jade land mean compared to this?  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????"Those who have a weak will may be transformed".  If there are a lot of people like this, why do I, the Great Song Dynasty, support scholars with thick coins?  Could it be that the whole court is full of weak-willed people?  I might as well ask, can the imperial court deprive all officials of their salaries and personnel?  " This time, no one dared to answer the question. Although the students sitting here talk about the truth all day long, in fact, they have no practical social experience at all. When they leave the book, their eyesight will completely darken. Shen Qian suddenly mentioned the imperial court.  , they suddenly came to their senses, weren't they? Wasn't the Song Dynasty court using practical actions to support his Shen Zhonghui's point of view? Who dares to refute this thing? The current situation is already one-sided, Shen Qian can do it with just a few words.  The room full of students couldn't breathe, and simply stopped being polite and continued: "So much is actually the same truth. It is impossible for a gentleman to forcibly abandon worldly desires.  A gentleman is also a human being, not a machine well, not a plant or tree. How can a gentleman be without desires?  Therefore, as a gentleman, you should cultivate your moral character and consciously restrain your worldly desires.  As for the court, it should share the worries of the gentleman, praise his good and punish his evil, and satisfy his appropriate human desires and needs. Only in this way can the gentleman have the thoughts of family and country, and only then can he talk about educating the people.  As for educating the people, you should know what they like.  You don¡¯t even know what they like, and even insisting that these are wrong is wrong. Gentlemen and rogues are like two cows with horns on their heads. How can we talk about enlightenment?  Therefore, we must not forcibly restrain all secular desires, but educate and guide them, praise the good things and severely punish the bad habits. This is the way of a gentleman.  Confucius once said, "There is no distinction between teachings." This is exactly what he meant. He did not just mean teaching Confucianism. Confucius once said, "I am a young man, so I can do a lot of despicable things." Doesn't this mean that he knows how to be a fool?  People like it?  The words of the sage should be read in light of each other. If I just excerpt the passages and ignore the others, in my humble opinion, I am afraid it will be biased.  I hope you will think carefully.  " Shen Qian said and bowed to the people in the room, but the words he said made all living beings very harsh. What do you mean by excerpts from articles, which are biased? Doesn't it mean that we have all learned the wrong way?  Don¡¯t you ever want to pass the imperial examination in your life? ! Many times, people are squeezed into the corner, and their reputation is bigger than the sky, especially for scholars who are not well-educated.  He couldn't beat a little scholar who was younger than them. You can imagine the frustration in his heart. Although he couldn't find anything wrong with Shen Qian, under the influence of pride, many people still slapped the table and shouted loudly: "  Popular theory!  Popular theory!  " "Hahahahahaha" Shen Qian was almost annoyed by these bullies despite being opposed to such a simple truth. He put his hands behind his back and laughed loudly for a while. When they didn't scold them, Tang Ke and Sun Xueyu felt guilty.  He stopped and came to his senses, then he laughed openly and said, "I have read very few books and am young and energetic. It is really a bit reckless to show off in front of you all learned gentlemen. Please forgive me."  Well, as an apology, I can tell you a story I heard from someone else.  It is said that in the early Tang Dynasty, there was a farmer who lived next to a monk. The farmer felt that the monk's nunnery was blocking his way to the fields, so he wanted to embarrass the monk.  One day the monk was meditating in the nunnery. Tian Jiaweng came in and asked him: What do you think I look like?  The monk opened his eyes, looked at it, and said: It looks like Buddha.  When Tian Jiaweng heard what the monk said, he was very happy, but after thinking about it, he felt that the monk was flattering him, so he said again: Do you know what I think of you?  The monk asked: What does it look like?  Tian Jiawen laughed loudly and said, "I look like a fertile field. Do you think I still look like a Buddha?"  The monk looked at him again and said: Like Buddha.  ¡± This story is naturally adapted from the allusion of Su Dabeard, but this allusion is purely a rumor, and the key figure in it, Su Xiaomei, is completely fictional. Even if Su Xiaomei is left aside, this story does not exist at this time, and we still don¡¯t know  It won't be created until tens or hundreds of years later, and even if this is true, Shen Qian doesn't believe that Big Beard Su will beat him up for this little thing one day.So there is no question of fear at all.  Shen Qian paused deliberately when he said this. Seeing that everyone in the room, including Sun Xueyu, was looking at him blankly, he couldn't help laughing twice before saying, "Then Mr. Tian thinks it's strange, why do I scold him?"  He still thought I looked like the Buddha? Did I really look like the Buddha? So he was very happy and said, "Really?"  Become a Buddhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.  Tell me what the curse was.  Shen Qian couldn't help being amused by their pitiful and confused looks, and suddenly burst out laughing again.  The whole room was filled with Shen Qian's laughter, and outside the door of the house, the Confucian scholar in his fifties, stroking his light beard, listened to Shen Qian's story, thought about it for a moment, and then smiled knowingly, but he didn't.  He once thought that Shen Qian would say the following words again. He was suddenly startled, burst out laughing, stretched his head and glanced in from the window, and then pulled the man next to him who was also stroking his beard.  The 70-year-old Confucian chuckled and walked towards the entrance of the courtyard.  Qiang Yuanming and the others didn't dare to neglect, so they naturally chased after them.  When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the Confucian smiled slightly and asked Qiang Yuanming: "The student who talked about Zen looks really young. What is his name?" "Uh" Qiang Yuanming really didn't dare.  He said, but the Confucian scholar had already asked, and he couldn't help but not answer, so he hesitated before saying, "Sir, his name is Shen Qian." "Shen Qian?" The Confucian scholar took a breath in surprise, subconsciously  Asked, "Where is he from?" Qiang Yuanming swallowed hard and said: "Uh Xixi, Qiantang County." "Xixi?! Why is he in the inner house?!" The Confucian listened to Qiang Yuanming  He was shocked at first, but then he glanced into the yard in surprise.  The seventy-year-old Confucian who came with him was also confused, but then he seemed to understand something. He curved his mouth upwards and stopped talking altogether. He just narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard with a smile.  However, Qiang Yuanming did not dare to neglect, and nodded quickly in response: "It's Nei She, hewell, those students are really" "Ohho ho ho ho ho" The Confucian scholar suddenly said  As if he had figured out everything, he sighed slightly with a sense of sadness, but then he smiled with relief, raised his hand and slowly stroked his light beard a few times, turned to the seventy-year-old Confucian beside him and smiled:  "Good Ji Feng forced himself to tell the truth because he was not in the right mood, heheheheBrother Gongji, how can you still laugh when this kid is so naughty?" The 70-year-old man didn't think so.  , still squinting his eyes and slowly stroking his white beard, maintaining an indifferent smile, shaking his head slightly with great satisfaction, and said with a reserved smile: "Why can't you laugh? If a group of mad dogs are chasing you behind your butt, I won't believe it.  You, Su Laopo, are not in a hurry." "Hahahaha, brother Gongji is really protectiveho ho ho ho" The Confucian raised his head and laughed happily. He originally wanted to say something to the seventy-year-old man, but he glanced at it.  After looking at the frightened Qiang Yuanming, he stopped talking and just stroked his beard and smiled.
