Chapter 109 uproar
Give up! Liu Xuan gave up! Liu Xuan, one of the two Lius, gave up!
Faced with the doubts of the Huangzhou General Manager Sima Yang Ji, Liu Xuan could not argue. He had not even checked the books to confirm whether the other party was right or wrong, so he admitted defeat. The audience did not come back to his senses for a while, and a brief silence appeared in the lecture hall.
Liu Zhuo, who had just asked the book boy to get the book, was stunned when he saw his friend so straightforward, and then nodded silently. He didn't know the change of the river channel between the Han and Wei and Jin Dynasties, but knew that Jincheng County was indeed established during the reign of Emperor Zhao of Han. This alone can prove that what Yang Ji said was correct.
Seeing the book boy looking at him, he still waved his hand and signaled the other party to get the book quickly. After all, the audience may not be sure of this, so they have to confirm it in public and let everyone figure it out.
Zheng Tong, who was recording next to him, his hand holding the charcoal pen trembled slightly. He still couldn't completely confirm whether Yang Ji's two doubts were right or wrong, but Liu Xuan's simple confession of defeat had already explained everything.
Mei Zi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty presented the "Biography of the Book of Documents" and "Preface to the Book of Documents" was written by Kong Anguo of the Western Han Dynasty. As a result, the place name that appeared only after Kong Anguo appeared in the content of "Biography of the Book of Documents".
Moreover, the water recorded in it is not the river channel during the Han Dynasty but the river channel during the Jin Dynasty. These two evidences are clear and unmistakable. The "Biography of Shangshu" presented by Mei Zi is fake, and it is a fake work entitled by Kong Anguo.
Based on Yang Ji's doubts, there are many doubts about "Preface to the Book of Documents" and it is very likely that it is also fake.
There is a problem with the "Biography" and "Preface", so the authenticity of the ancient text "Shangshu" presented by Mei Zi at the same time is not so certain. Especially just now, Yang Ji questioned the "Same virtue and righteousness" in Mei Zi's ancient text "Shangshu Tai Ou", which is very convincing.
Zheng Tong couldn't help but look at the side, and saw Zhang Ke and Zhang Hua both looked shocked. He swallowed his saliva with difficulty, wiped the sweat beads of his forehead, and looked at the content he had recorded, holding it tightly like a treasure.
In the audience, after a brief silence, the rapid breathing began to rise and fall. Many people did not expect the development of the matter. They thought that Liu Xuan would debate Yang Ji's doubts, so that they could gain a better understanding of it. As a result, Liu Xuan could not argue.
Today, everyone came here to listen to Liu Xuan’s lecture on the Book of Shu. Then, while taking advantage of the limited time, a news suddenly broke out that the ancient text "Shangshu" circulated from Mei Zi is very likely to be fake!
It’s like someone marrying a wife, relatives and friends go to a banquet and have a wedding banquet, and it’s lively. As they drink, they suddenly find that the bride is actually a man. This impact is really too great!
Many people looked at each other. Before they could come back to their senses, Liu Wenjing, who was sitting in the crowd, suddenly stood up and wanted to walk out. After taking a few steps, she turned back and pulled her younger brother Liu Wenqi and whispered: "You, stay here and continue listening, don't miss a word!"
"Brother, where are you going?"
"Library, please bring me food tonight." Liu Wenjing said in a low voice, but Liu Wenqi was surprised and blurted out: "What are you doing when you are in the library?"
The sound was not small, and everyone around them heard it. Then they were like lost travelers in the dark night. A guiding light suddenly lit up in front of them. Seeing this, Liu Wenjing's expression changed and ran out without saying a word.
If you don’t go now, you won’t be able to squeeze into the library in a while!
No, I won’t be able to squeeze into the library these days!
Liu Wenjing moved very quickly, but others were not slow either. Some people had come to their senses and got up and walked out of the lecture hall. As more and more people stood up, they did not care about the rudeness and changed from walking to running quickly.
Kong Yingda was also among them. He could not accept the fact that Liu Xuan admitted defeat. Although reason told him that Liu Xuan admitted defeat without reading the book because he was convinced that Yang Ji said it was correct, Kong Yingda still could not accept this fact.
So many people, so many people say that the "Book of Shangshu" is true... How can I not confirm it myself!
At this point in the debate, Kong Yingda could not calm down and continue to listen. Anyway, he would sort out the content of the debate afterwards. If he left early now, if there was a debate, he would be fine to watch it later.
Xiao Yu followed closely behind, but there were already a few people in the middle. He also had to rush to the library to read historical books, otherwise he would not be able to calm down.
My father read the ancient Chinese "Shangshu" with me and also read the "Shangshu Biography" and explained it improvised from time to time. This... How could this be fake?
Yu Wenli, who was shocked, stayed in his original place, helping Kong Yingda and Xiao Yu to monitor the books he brought, and by the way, he would hear whether there would be more exciting debate results in the future. Although he did not understand the ancient Chinese "Shangshu", he could already see that the situation has changed suddenly.
"The Book of Shangshu is fake...The Book of Shangshu is fake..." A discussion came from his ears. Yu Wenli turned his head and saw many people whispering, some people were shocked, some people were dazed, while others were excited.
There were many discussions in the lecture hall, gradually connecting together. Yu Wenli looked up and saw that except for those who left the seat, the people sitting were whispering. He took a few deep breaths to relieve his emotions a little.
"Biography of Shangshu" is actually fake! You have to write a letter to tell your father!
On the podium, Yang Ji returned the gift to Liu Xuan: "Sir, what the later students asked just now was actually a coincidence. What the Mr. said was 'educated', and later students really dare not take it."
"No, no, no, Yang Sima's words made people suddenly enlightened. Liu claimed to have read countless books, but... If it weren't for Yang Sima's pointing out, how could Liu see the strangeness in "The Book of Shu"?"
Speaking of this, Liu Xuan swept away his lonely expression and asked expectantly: "Sima Yang, are you still suspicious?"
Yang Ji shook his head: "The later students were ignorant and had only some questions. There were still many things they didn't understand. I still need to ask the teacher for advice."
Liu Zhuo, who was hosting the scene, saw many people leaving the venue, thinking that they should be going to the library to read books. The answer to the questions this time had turned into questions. Seeing the house full of excitement, he knew that the result of Yang Ji's questioning was a bit unacceptable.
Not to mention others, even Liu Zhuo himself was a little dazed. This was an amazing event and was very likely to cause storms. He had witnessed the life of the matter with his own eyes, and now he was really mixed with emotion.
He stood up and walked forward, asking whether Liu Xuan and Yang Ji would have to debate next. Liu Zhuo meant to come to an end first, so that everyone could go back and digest today's debate content, and continue to debate or discuss in a few days.
However, before the words were said, someone had already taken the lead, that was someone who was riding on the popularity.
"Hahahaha, wonderful, really wonderful!" Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen walked forward and smiled at both sides of the debate: "The debate between Dr. Liu and Sima Yang is eye-opening, and it is really enlightening!"
"Master!"
Everyone saluted Yuwen Wen. Seeing Yang Ji's final decision, Yuwen Wen was very happy, so he had a new idea: "I feel that Dr. Liu and Sima Yang are exhausted today. Why not come here before the debate today and agree to a time to debate another day?"
"What the king said is very much." Liu Zhuo agreed, but neither Liu Xuan nor Yang Ji had any objections. Today's debate can indeed come to an end, and we will give everyone a buffer time to read books.
"Everyone, everyone! Today's debate ends here. As for the next debate... or discussion, we will continue in a few days!"
"Please pay attention to the notice of the provincial school on the specific date!"
As soon as he finished speaking, many people left the seat and rushed up, surrounding Liu Xuan and Yang Ji, and kept asking questions to them. Seeing that the two were busy dealing with each other, Yuwen Wen winked at Zheng Tong beside him.
Everyone is a fox, so some things can be solved by just eye contact. Zheng Tong and Zhang Ke and Zhang Hua talked for a few words, and then communicated with Liu Zhuo, shouted loudly: "Everyone, everyone! The content of this debate will be announced after the recent compilation. Don't be anxious, let Dr. Liu and Sima Yang rest first!"
Chapter completed!
