An hour later, the Beifu Army camp in Jingkou was full of joy and laughter. Because of this gathering today, Liu Yu specially ordered to lift military discipline for one night, kill cattle and sheep, and reward the three armies. In the entire camp with a radius of more than ten miles,
The smell of wine and barbecue mixed together, mixed with everyone's laughter and laughter, and the old brothers of Beifu, who had experienced hundreds of battles, could finally stop pretending to be military officers and superiors and truly interact with the new recruits.
They mingled together and drank three bowls. All kinds of embellished and boastful stories became the mainstream of each camp, just like the banquets of later generations. From the sweet talk at the beginning, to the rhetoric, to the heroic words, and then to nonsense, and finally turned into nonsense.
Silent, snoring like thunder.
It was already dark, at the second watch, Liu Yu was standing on the handsome platform just now, smiling, looking at a Confucian in green shirt who was about fifty years old, with a dark face and a thin face, standing in front of him with a smile.
His hair is neatly combed, his nails are neatly trimmed, and his whole body does not have any traces of powder or sandalwood scent that are commonly used by current metaphysicians. It is obvious that this is a very traditional Confucian scholar. He is a great Confucian at that time.
Fan Tai is the son of Fan Ning, a famous Confucian who once served as Emperor Xiaowu's imperial tutor.
Liu Yu stood in front of Fan Tai and made a cross-hand salute: "Mr. Fan is willing to deign to come to Jingkou City to serve as a memorial ceremony for Xiangxu. Thank you very much. Please accept Liu Yu's salute."
Fan Tai returned the gift formally and bowed his arms to his waist: "I want to thank Marshal Liu for giving me, a man who has been idle for many years, a chance to come back to teach and educate people."
Liu Yu smiled slightly and pointed at Brother Liu Xing beside him: "Brother Xing, this Mr. Fan is a famous Confucian in the world and has great knowledge. Even your fat uncle admires him very much. From now on, you must respect your teacher as much as you respect your parents. Listen,
In his words, this is called respecting teachers and teachings, do you understand?"
Brother Liu Xing nodded sternly and was about to kneel down when Fan Tai said quickly: "Madam, wait a minute, you are pregnant, so you don't need to do this ceremony. Just leave your thoughts."
Liu Xingdi nodded: "My little girl was born in the countryside and doesn't have much experience. I have to trouble my husband even more. Tomorrow morning, I will go to Xiangxu to receive education together with all my classmates."
Fan Tai smiled slightly: "Then please go back and rest early, madam. We will meet in Xiangxu tomorrow."
When Liu Xingdi and several guards left, only Liu Yu and Fan Tai were left on the stage. The two sat opposite each other on two small couches that had been prepared. Liu Yu sighed softly:
"Finally, everyone is willing to go to school. Otherwise, I really don't know how to give an explanation to my husband."
Fan Tai said calmly: "The Marshal is not only the God of War in this world, but also has a profound understanding of righteousness. I was very excited after listening to what the Marshal just said, and there are many truths in it that even well-educated Confucian scholars may not be able to understand.
.If you had the opportunity to study poetry and calligraphy since childhood, you would definitely become a literary giant. My knowledge is far inferior to yours."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I have too many things to do now, and I can't concentrate on studying. If one day I can fulfill my lifelong wish to expel the barbarians, restore the Central Plains, and pacify the world, on that day, maybe I will retreat bravely and start all over again.
I have studied literature, but now, only if I do these things like bow and sword can I protect the Jin Dynasty and allow my husband to educate our children with peace of mind."
Fan Tai nodded: "So, we also want to do our part to teach the children of the heroes. In the short term, some children can join the army and become military officials. To get rid of the commander-in-chief, we can only rely on the children of those aristocratic families.
Situation. In the long run, the Beijing Eighth Party also needs to make itself knowledgeable and educated, otherwise, just relying on force, as you said, it will lose its power sooner or later."
Liu Yu nodded: "Sir, do you know why I don't find some ready-made famous teachers among the descendants of the old family, but instead invite a master of Confucian classics like you to serve as Dr. Guozi and Xiangxu?"
Fan Tai smiled slightly: "Commander, if you treat me as a national scholar, I will repay you as a national scholar. My Fan family, a Confucian family of all generations, believes in loyalty, justice, benevolence and filial piety, but those who are metaphysics emphasize cultivating immortality and maintaining health.
In order to protect the prosperity and wealth of the family, I think you have always been upright and made contributions to the country instead of seeking personal gain. Therefore, I am willing to go out and serve people like you. Because if the atmosphere in the court is not upright,
If those in power are treacherous, even if they have beautiful ideals, they will not be able to use their talents."
Liu Yu sighed: "I think back then, after I counterattacked and broke Xi Chao's conspiracy at the Theater Stage, the late emperor prepared to use me for the Northern Expedition, and also sent a group of Confucian scholars such as your father-in-law to serve as county guards and governors in various places to support those loyal to the royal family.
It is a pity that the late emperor was killed by the conspiracy of the mafia, and my father-in-law was impeached and dismissed from office by Wang Guobao and others, and finally died in depression. I am sorry that I was unable to protect myself at that time and was unable to rescue my father-in-law."
A trace of sadness flashed across Fan Tai's expression: "Perhaps this is what Mencius said about heaven sending great people to this people, and they must first harden their minds. To use Confucian scholars is to challenge metaphysics, and to be on the same level as the aristocratic family.
There was a conflict at home. This time I went out. Like my father, I had put life and death aside. Whatever the commander asked me to do, I would go through fire and water without hesitation. However, I wanted to boldly ask the commander, are you really
Have you planned how to get along with the noble families and the metaphysics people, and explain to them why they hired Confucian scholars like us?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "This matter is very easy to handle, because if you were to become a Confucian scholar in Jiankang City, and get a doctorate, then many children from aristocratic families would definitely rush to go, but when you come to a rural place like Jingkou to teach
For some of the nephews of middle- and lower-level officers, it is a thankless job for them. As you have seen, our brothers can’t even read a few Chinese characters. They have to start with basic education such as the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic. I’m afraid those
Masters of metaphysics who talk all day long about the mystery of heaven and earth, and all the people in the universe, disdain to come."
Fan Tai laughed: "That's right, when it comes to learning, Confucianism may not be better than metaphysics. After all, our Confucianism emphasizes loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. Many things require going against one's own heart and making sacrifices. This will naturally make some people dislike it, and
The self-centered approach of metaphysics, which comes naturally, is obviously more popular. In addition, metaphysics has been prevalent in the Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years. Almost all high-ranking families have passed down metaphysics from family to family. The Qing Dynasty also used this method to discuss and debate. Therefore, if Confucianism is in Gao Dynasty,
If we have a moral dispute with them at a higher level, we don’t have much chance of winning now.”
"But the advantage of our Confucianism is that we pay attention to education and inheritance. Starting from Confucius, we have traveled all over the country and recruited disciples. Regardless of the origin or level of the disciples, as long as they are willing to learn and are willing to follow Confucianism, even children can be taught
Also, when we come out of the mountain, we do not seek fame or fortune, we only hope that our Confucian classics can be widely spread, and that people in this world can uphold loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and learn the truth!"
