Chapter 237 Refuting the Doctor

Author: big bell

Originally, the matter was complete for the three doctors at this point, but Li Zhao's intervention made the perfection flawless. For a moment, three sharp eyes were shot at Li Zhao.

Ying Zheng was also very curious that Li Zhao would refute, so he asked: "Why not? Let's tell the truth."

Li Zhao said: "The investigation of objects, I believe, is not achieved by sitting quietly, but requires hands-on practice to obtain its secrets. The approach of several doctors seems inappropriate."

Before he finished speaking, he was refuted by several doctors. Geng's face turned red, he jumped up and said angrily: "It's ridiculous, what's wrong with it? The sage's study is to sit quietly and comprehend the truth. Can you understand the essence of the sage by doing it?"

He then turned to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, General Li does not study the holy way and does not know the key points of the holy knowledge. Don't be deceived."

This statement was very targeted. Every word said that Li Zhao was a rough person and did not understand Confucianism at all. Any objection would be a lie.

Why couldn't Li Zhao understand what he meant? He laughed strangely in his heart!

Thinking about how he could lie to His Majesty with thousands of years of advanced knowledge, even though he did not study Confucianism deeply, he knew that meditation would not work, and he complained in his heart.

[If you really know how things are but don’t know why, how dare you speak of the essence of a saint?]

He has not studied Confucianism carefully, and does not know whether the "investigation of things to achieve knowledge" in Confucianism is meditation and enlightenment. However, he believes that since the saint proposed "investigation of things to achieve knowledge", he must have carefully considered it, and perhaps he wanted future generations to have a similar experimental spirit!

But this sour scholar thinks that it is meditation, that is, knowing what is happening but not knowing why, which completely distorts the original intention of the sage.

Um!

Hearing Li Zhao's thoughts, Ying Zheng glanced at Li Zhao imperceptibly, and chuckled a little when he heard "eating the ancients will not change".

Several doctors were recommended by various parties, and they have profound knowledge. Li Zhao thought that he was "eating the ancients", which was a bit too much. Of course, he could understand Li Zhao. He was only eighteen years old, so he was young and vigorous.

At an age when you don’t take anything seriously, it is completely normal for you to speak more violently.

He was about to tell Li Zhao to stop talking, but he had already made up his mind, but he heard Li Zhao's voice again.

[The investigation of things is about things, not sacred knowledge. To investigate things, you need to understand the principles of things. It is impossible to just sit quietly and meditate. This means that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Walking, that’s it.

Hands-on process.]

Um!

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and unexpectedly glanced at Li Zhao from the corner of his eye.

I thought: "Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles"? It seems reasonable. His son Fusu was deeply influenced by Confucianism and received the true transmission of Confucianism. However, things he did often did not go to his liking. It must be "reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles"!

Is hands-on the key to understanding the steam-rotating ball and building a steam engine? It's very possible. After all, the steam engine was Li Zhao's idea.

For a moment, the weight in my heart tilted toward Li Zhao.

"Li Zhao, what do you think?" Ying Zheng was trying to help Li Zhao by saying this.

Li Zhao quickly responded: "Your Majesty, I will never lie to Your Majesty. I will tell the truth. Although I do not study Confucianism, I know that hands-on practice is the key to knowledge."

He did not allow the doctors to refute, stared at them closely, and then said: "I dare to ask some doctors, who made the ballista and the transmitter?"

Several doctors looked at each other and stopped talking.

There are hundreds of schools of thought in the Qin Dynasty, each specializing in different things. Confucianism, Legalism, and Mohism all have their own strengths. Important war weapons such as ballistas and crossbow chariots fall into the category of mechanics and were created by the Mohists.

But why did Li Zhao ask this? Is there something fishy?

They didn't say anything because they didn't want Li Zhao to succeed.

Li Zhao did not ask further questions and said with a smile: "Surely all the doctors know that it was created by the Mohist family. And the Mohist family can create powerful weapons of war. Could it be that they relied on meditation to gain enlightenment?"

The doctors were stunned for a moment and had nothing to say. The Mohists were good at hands-on skills, and all the important war weapons were made after thousands of times of hard work. Naturally, they were not made by sitting still.

But when they thought about it, their expressions suddenly changed. They fell into Li Zhao's trick and actually used the Mo family as a source of trouble.

The Mohists focus on hands-on operations, and he just said that in order to understand how to spin a ball, you have to do it. Isn’t this praising the Mohists and slandering them?

Could it be that he is from the Mo family?

Among the hundreds of schools of thought, Legalism was highly praised, Confucianism was neglected but could still appear in the court, and Mohism was somewhat scattered and almost marginalized.

But now Li Zhao is talking about the Mohist family, does he want to petition the Mohist family to let the Mohist family join the court?

This is incredible. If Mohism is allowed to rise to the surface, there will be no place for Confucianism!

Several doctors were furious and stared at Li Zhao, wishing they could refute him with thousands of words.

Dr. Geng couldn't help it anymore and said loudly: "I have to say that General Li is very fond of the Mohist family! But what I said today is a steam ball, not an important weapon of war, so naturally it cannot be compared to the Mohist family."

Li Zhao immediately retorted: "This is an important weapon of war. The steam-rotating ball relies on the steam to push the circle. This is the power of steam. Power can be used in war. How can it not be compared to the Mohist school? This is what the Mohist school is good at."

"

After speaking, he turned to Ying Zheng, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the steam that comes from boiling water is steam. As long as you control the steam well, you can create terrifying things. Only the Mohists can do this."

The most terrifying thing is naturally the steam engine.

"Your Majesty, please take back what you just said and let the Mohists understand the way of steam so that they can make full use of the steam ball."

He really admired the Mohists, and several doctors gritted their teeth with hatred. If looks could kill, Li Zhao would have died at least three times.

They knew that this son's rebuttal was not a good thing, but they didn't know that it was so bad. It was obvious that he was targeting, first, Dr. Chunyu, who was reduced to a peasant, then Shusun Tong, and now they, and even

They believe that the reason why Master Fusu was exiled to the north is probably due to this son's 'contribution'.

Did Confucianism and Taoism offend him? He was so targeted.

Several doctors wailed in their hearts.

Dr. White was really unwilling to have the meat in his mouth taken away, so he stepped out of the queue and handed it over: "Your Majesty, I think General Li's suggestion is not feasible, and you must not listen to his fallacy."
