Chapter 975 (1/2)
Mother and son are sitting in Penglai hall with big eyes and small eyes. Wu Mei can't persuade Li Hong to go to xuanzheng hall, but Li Hong's explanation makes his mother still confused.
Although Wu Mei believes that Li Hong's decision will not be wrong, over the years, all Li Hong's decisions have been proved to be right. Even at that time, there was no trace of any right or hope, and even there was no trace of malpractice at all. The seemingly reasonable mechanism was extremely predictable and corrected before the symptoms appeared.
Just like a fairy who seems to be able to predict anything, Li Hong, in her opinion, suddenly does something inexplicably and irrationally. It seems that there is no trace to follow and a whim, but in the end it is extremely correct.
”So you're going to hide in my Penglai hall all the time Wu Mei stretched out his feet and kicked him. Li Hong, who was drowsy and about to fall asleep, asked.
”Well? No, Li Zhe and Li Dan have gone, and Li Xian, let them have a try first... ” Li Hong straightened up. Recently, he had a little more exercise. He got up too early and went to bed too late. He was a little bit out of spirits.
”Don't count on us. As soon as we entered the xuanzheng hall, we were asked to be speechless and ran out of the room in dismay.” Li Zhe and Li Dan, following Wang Lou's back, walk to Wu Mei's front ceremony, and look at Li Hong, who is embarrassed.
”Sacrifice before the Imperial College? You can't last half an hour? Those old people estimated that if you talk to him for half an hour, they will be tired and doze off, right? Why are you inferior to them? ” Li Hong picked his eyebrows, a little dissatisfied with Li Zhe and Li Dan.
It's reasonable to say that they have read the books of sages and sages better than themselves. They can also mix for a few hours, which will make those old folks lose their energy. Let's retreat in the face of difficulties.
”At the beginning, those were already returned to Mr. Zhang. I said that they were faithful to the past but not to make a statement. They also said that they had their own opinions, which was called” small words and great justice. ”. Moreover, the debate between the Chinese and the barbarians has now been abandoned by them and began to talk about the great righteousness of the monarch and the subjects. In a word, I have heard of the brain melon seed pain, and now people still have some circles. ” Li Dan and Li Zhe complained after sitting down beside Li Hong.
”I can't even tell the names of the twelve classics. How can I argue with them? They are familiar with the twelve classics of Confucianism. I'm afraid that if I say a word, they all know which book and page they are from. I can't really argue with them. I dare not provoke them with their beards and staring eyes. In case one of them died in xuanzheng hall because of words, you should not put all the blame on me. ” Li Zhe also shook his head in the face of Li Hong's eyes.
Their minds and attention today are not in the books of sages at all. If they are allowed to argue with the antiques of their eighties and nineties, they can be dismissed in a few words.
”I wanted to talk to them about the energy of electricity, why trains can run automatically without horse drawn horses, the relationship between coal and steam, how heat can be converted into kinetic energy, how the positive and negative poles of electricity, generators and transformers of electricity, and how coal can generate electricity, what is an engine? But others said: the metaphysical is the Tao, while the lower is the instrument. It is just the so-called gentleman without tools. So... ”
”God's special gentleman doesn't have any tools. That's nonsense! This is to aim high! Cultivate one's moral character, govern the country, and level the world without technology? ” Li Hong got up from the sofa, but in a moment he sat back with his mother staring at him.
”But Kongyuan also said,” if a gentleman is not a tool, that is, a gentleman will not become a tool of others, and a person who becomes a tool of others is not a gentleman. A gentleman will not be used by others, and he who is taken advantage of is not a gentleman. What's more, Confucius said: a gentleman should be erudite and knowledgeable, and have various talents, not limited to one aspect. ”
”God's all rounder! How can there be so many all rounders in the world? Are all talents spoken by mouth? Is he Confucius an all rounder? They have made some contributions to social development and productivity. What kind of learning is always around people? It is called Tao to study people and metaphysics. What kind of food can we eat or can we fill the people's stomachs? I have nothing to do when I'm full. If I have time to study people, I'd better find out the disadvantages of this society. I'm not sure I can look up to some of them! ” Just arrived at the tea just up, and quickly put down the breath, too hot.
”Why don't you try it?” Li Dan looked at Li Hong so indignant, carefully said.
“…… Go away. If one of them died in the xuanzheng hall, the responsibility would be great or small. ” Li Hong's anger is like a ball. He doesn't want to go to xuanzheng hall to face those antiques.
”Well, what about Li Xian? He hasn't come yet or... ”
”He's going to be quick, too.” Li Zhe said lazily, ”when those antiques were arguing between us, he kept silent and kept observing...”
”He is a good melon eater.” Li Hong mumbled.
”Melon Eaters?”
”It's for the fun.”
”Empress dowager, your majesty, King Pei, please.” Wang Lou appeared in front of a few people again, and after a while, Li Xian's face was also a little embarrassed and uncomfortable to walk in.
Looking at the one armed Li Xian who came in, Wu Mei suddenly felt a little bit surprised, as if the time suddenly returned to a certain scene 20 years ago.At that time, the former Emperor was still alive, Li Hong was still the crown prince, and Li Zhe was also the king of England. Li Dan was still sitting in his somewhat wooden king of Yin. As a Pei king, Li Xian had not broken an arm. Li Lingyue, like a crazy girl, liked to pester Prince Li Hong most.
