Chapter 523 Volume Slap
Others might have taken Zheng Xuan's reputation into consideration, but Liu Biao would not.

Although Zheng Xuan's teachings were spread throughout Guandong, Liu Biao was able to preside over the Jingzhou School and compete with Zheng's school.

Not to mention that since Liu Biao returned to Guanzhong, he has been showing signs of becoming a master thanks to his research on "Lun Heng"!
This is just academic.

In terms of status, Liu Biao is now one of the Three Dukes and is the oldest among the royal family. Even the emperor has to respectfully address him as "Zongbo". Every time he goes to Taibai Academy, he even has to treat Liu Biao as a disciple.

In terms of achievements, Liu Biao held on to Jingzhou and traded with Guanzhong, which enabled the grain of Jingzhou to be transported to Guanzhong continuously, saving countless people in Guanzhong. Later, he overcame all objections and enabled the imperial court to recapture Jingzhou without bloodshed, thus completely safeguarding the imperial court's geopolitical security!

Such a man of virtue, merit and words said that he wanted to teach Zhao Shang a lesson on behalf of Zheng Xuan. Zhao Shang really had no idea what to do!

After being slapped, although Zhao Shang was angry, he did not dare to continue causing trouble in front of Liu Bian.

But Zhao Shang still stuck to the point and waved the blueprint in his hand again: "There is a witch doctor practicing witchcraft here!"

"Snapped!"

As Zhao Shang looked incredulous, Liu Biao slapped him hard on the ear again.

"You know medicine?"

"No, it's not..."

"Then why do you call him a witch doctor?"

"If someone can do such a cruel thing, how can he not be a witch doctor?"

Liu Biao was standing with his hands behind his back at this moment. Although his hair was white and frosty, he looked more imposing!

"Why don't you explain it more clearly, what does it mean to be insane?"

"They disemboweled the body. Isn't that insane?"

Zhao Shang suddenly became excited at this moment!
Because he had already seen that Liu Biao seemed to want to discuss philosophy with him!
When it comes to "Taoism", the Toad Confucian has never lost!
Because it’s still the same reason...

When a Toad Confucian discusses the Dao, he does not need to prove that he is right, nor does he need to prove that the other party is wrong.

When the Toad Confucians discuss Taoism, they abandon all logic and talk rigidly about the interaction between heaven and man and the universe.

Unless one uses Kongming lanterns to directly prove the existence of "vitality" like Zhuge Liang, otherwise the toad Confucian scholars will always be invincible!
Zhao Shang himself is certainly not a doctor.

But he knew that Liu Biao was not a doctor! Even if he had studied medicine, he only had a superficial understanding!
So as long as Liu Biao cannot prove his mistakes, he will never lose the debate!

And once he could defeat Liu Biao, or even draw with Liu Biao, it would certainly allow the Heavenly Being to breathe a sigh of relief!

"The Book of Filial Piety says: 'Our bodies and hair are given by our parents. We should not damage them. This is the beginning of filial piety.'"

"The Han Dynasty governs the country with loyalty and filial piety! If you destroy your body, you are damaging the source of filial piety! Is this kind of thing acceptable to the world?"

Liu Biao's life was full of ups and downs, and he had conversations with countless famous scholars and great Confucian scholars. Naturally, he understood the logic of Zhao Shang's debate.

Physical integrity is equal to filial piety.

Filial piety is equal to being a great man.

To destroy the body is to destroy the man...

These three things clearly had no logic, but Zhao Shang connected them together with sophistry.

Liu Biao looked back and saw that there was no movement, so he calmed down and discussed the matter with Zhao Shang one by one.

"Zhongni was at home, and Zengzi was serving him. The Master said, 'The ancient kings had the highest virtues and the most important principles, which governed the world, brought harmony among the people, and left no complaints between the superiors and the subordinates. Do you know this?' Zengzi stepped back and said, 'I am not smart enough, how can I know this?' The Master said, 'Filial piety is the root of virtue and the source of education. Sit down again, and I will tell you. Your body and hair are given by your parents, and you should not dare to damage them. This is the beginning of filial piety. To establish yourself and practice virtue, to make a name for yourself in future generations, and to honor your parents, is the end of filial piety. Filial piety begins with serving your parents, continues with serving your ruler, and ends with establishing yourself. The Great Odes says, 'Do not think of your ancestors, and cultivate their virtues.'"

Liu Biao finished reciting this passage from the Book of Filial Piety before he began to ask a question: "Filial piety is the foundation of virtue. However, to not dare to harm what one has received from one's parents is the beginning of filial piety. To establish oneself in a righteous manner, to make a name for oneself in the future generations, and to honor one's parents is the end of filial piety."

"If a person has established himself and practiced righteousness before his body is destroyed after death, doesn't that mean he has already fulfilled the filial piety? Are you trying to say that if a child is filial to his parents during his lifetime, he will become an unfilial son when he dies?"

Zhao Shang was speechless for a moment. Just when he was about to talk nonsense about the human body in terms of etiquette and law, Liu Biao had already taken advantage of the victory to pursue him.

"Since you just said that you are not a doctor and do not know medicine, then why do you think that cutting open the stomach is not curing diseases and saving lives?"

"Do you know that there is a record in the "Lingshu. Jingshui" - "For a man of eight feet tall, the skin and flesh are here, and can be measured and traced from the outside, and can be dissected after death. The hardness and fragility of the organs, the size of the bowels, the number of stomachs, the length of the pulses, the clarity and turbidity of the blood, the amount of qi, and the twelve meridians with more blood and less qi, or less blood and more qi, or both more blood and qi, or less blood and qi, all have large numbers!"

"How come the anatomy clearly described in the Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine has become a sorcery technique when it comes to you?"

"Are you questioning the Yellow Emperor now?"

……

Yellow Emperor.

Rather than the emperor.

If you question the emperor, there may be hope.

But questioning Huangdi, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, is like lighting a lamp in a toilet - seeking death!
Seeing that Zhao Shang did not dare to respond, Liu Biao continued to attack with his unpleasant but powerful words -

"In the "Records of the Grand Historian - Biographies of Bian Que and Cang Gong" written by Sima Qian, it is recorded that in ancient times, doctors had Yu Fu, who treated diseases without using decoctions, liquors, melting stones, kneading, pressing, or poisoning. They could see the response to the disease by pulling it out. They followed the flow of the five internal organs, so they cut the skin and muscles, tied the veins and tendons, pinched the marrow and brain, rubbed the hair, washed the intestines and stomach, and rinsed the five internal organs!"

"It can be seen that in ancient times, there were doctors who used the method of cutting skin and releasing muscles, and tying veins and tendons to treat patients. Are you saying that this was a mistake made by our ancestors?"

Zhao Shang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat because he suddenly realized what Liu Biao wanted to say! What did he want to say!
really!

Liu Biao changed the subject.

"Whether it is the Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine or the Biographies of Bian Que and Cang Gong written by Sima Qian, they all prove that ancient doctors were able to save lives by "cutting skin and relieving muscles"!"

"And when did this method of 'cutting skin and splitting muscles' become taboo?"

Liu Biao questioned Zhao Shang loudly, and Zhao Shang became more and more afraid and wanted to escape!

"Not bad!"

"This medical skill was lost because Dong Zhongshu created the theory of the connection between heaven and man, which misled the people and made them think that skin cutting and muscle cutting was an evil technique!"

boom!
It seemed to be echoing Liu Biao!

Riots suddenly broke out again outside the university hall!

For example, behind Zhao Shang, a larger group of people with greater momentum rushed out!
The village woman in the lead still had a white cloth wrapped around her thumb, but she was holding a steel fork in her hand and was about to force her way in with great momentum!

"The old immortal just saved my life! And you guys want to hurt him! I will fight you sons of bitches!"

Fan A, who was hiding in the inner house, looked at the scene through the window with his mouth wide open.

He really couldn't connect this strong-tempered woman with the village woman who had just been timid and unable to speak clearly in front of him.

And there are a large number of people behind this village woman.

Without exception, these people were the ones who had been treated by the doctors at the University Hall in the past few days.

These people all know what’s going on!

Everyone knows how important the University is to ordinary people.

They didn't know why the doctors at the University Hall wanted to perform dissection on people.

But they know that these doctors are definitely not bad people!
Any difficult and complicated disease can be cured by these doctors!
Even if the surgery sounds scary, it’s actually not that worth being scared of!
The most important thing is that the doctors here charge a low price!

wrong!

It’s not that it’s not expensive, it’s that it’s so cheap that many people are ashamed of it!

Once the university is ruined, these people who have received medical treatment will really fight to the death with the other side!
When the people following Zhao Shang saw a group of people far larger in number coming to kill them, they immediately trembled in fear, and some even quietly switched sides...

Not long after these people appeared, another old man walked into the university hall.

Seeing this person appear, Zhao Shang secretly thought that something was wrong!
Chief Censor, Cai Yong.

Even if Zhao Shang's teacher Zheng Xuan came back to life, he would still have to treat Cai Yong with courtesy!

Zhao Shang couldn't help but tremble at this moment, and actually asked an extremely stupid question: "Why did Cai Zhongcheng come here today?"

Of course I'm here to beat you up, could it be that I'm here to help you?

Cai Yong glared at Zhao Shang and immediately took out an official document from his hand -

"You said before that it was the doctors from the university who went out to steal the corpses?"

"I will tell you today that those corpses are the bodies of prisoners in the Censorate Prison!"

"And what crime did the person who was sent to Taiwan Prison commit? Don't I need to tell you clearly?"

Taiyu was an institution set up by the emperor in the Censorate during the grand court meeting in the first year of Jian'an.

Most of the people who died in the Censorate were of the same kind—

A vicious and corrupt official!
Officials who have merely abused their power for personal gain will not be sentenced to death, even if they are suspected of dereliction of duty.

Anyone who is sentenced in the Censorate’s prison is most likely a corrupt official who has embezzled hundreds of millions!

What's wrong with sending the bodies of these people to the University?
But Zhao Shang was already numb at this moment!
This shouldn't have been the case in his expectations!
I just disrupted a university, why did it attract people like Liu Biao and Cai Yong?

According to the normal process of Han Dynasty law, shouldn't he be arrested, thrown into prison and well-fed for a few days, and then his colleagues and friends outside would take the opportunity to spread the matter, and then public opinion would be overwhelming, forcing the emperor to personally try the case, and then he would explain the theory of the correspondence between heaven and man in front of the emperor, so that the emperor would "repent and return to the right path"?

All of a sudden, a Three Dukes and a Chief Censor popped up. This matching mechanism is obviously unreasonable!
Zhao Shang looked outside in confusion...and suddenly felt like he was in an icy cave!
The emperor, dressed in ordinary clothes, stood in the crowd and looked at him silently, with a smile on his face.

Zhao Shang ran towards the emperor like a madman, wanting to persuade him to mend his ways and believe in the connection between heaven and man again...

but……

"Snapped!"

Liu Biao slapped Zhao Shang in the face for the third time.

"What are you crazy about? Just wait to be sent to the Imperial Prison!"
