Chapter 2 The tool man and sister are really fragrant
"Good question!" Facing Cai Yan's questioning, Li Su was excited all over, "This question is easy to answer - that's because when you look at the eight words "You must condemn the first one, and there will be blessings in the palace", you see the meaning of the text.
The first proposal was not "the first person in every dynasty to rise up to rebel and rebellion", but "the first person to fall into war in a period of chaos and chaos". These two concepts are different.
Zhang Jiao did rebel earlier than Zhang Ju, but Zhang Jiao had been completely eliminated and pacified - what did His Majesty change the reign of Zhongping? That means the world is peaceful again.
So when Zhang Ju was in trouble again, Zhang Ju was not cleaning up a world that was already chaotic, but causing trouble to a world that was still in trouble. Zhang Ju still advocated it first and was still punished by God!”
Cai Yan was stunned and thought for a long time: "You... aren't you explaining it at will as you like or dislike? People only look at the literals, how do you know how you specifically define the 'first promotion'?"
Li Su: "You just think that before Zhang Ju makes trouble, will the world be unified or divided? The world is still unified. The rebellion earlier than Zhang Ju did not split the world into several regimes.
There was no scene of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period on weekends, or the separatist kings at the end of Qin, and there was no melee between Wang Mang, Green Forest and Red Eyebrow in the late Xinmang period. Therefore, Zhang Jiao was the leader of the world to unite and divide for a long time, but he failed to successfully divide the world, so Zhang Ju was still the leader of trying to unite and divide for a long time, and he was still punished by God.
Only one of the first advocates has successfully overthrew the previous dynasty, or at least dragged the world into a state of warlord melee, and then the one who followed up and raised an army to reunify the world was the blessed 'Dianxing'."
Li Su explained it very thoroughly and analyzed the misunderstanding that the most popular theory of the "Wu Fu" in the later generations was analyzed.
Later generations when he studied orthodox philosophy in the diplomatic school, he also searched many netizens' criticisms about the "Theory of Blessings in the Palace" on the Internet.
The most common one is to give some counterexamples. For example, some people say that "the earliest anti-Qing Dynasty was the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", and some people even traced it backwards, saying that it was the White Lotus Sect and the Heavenly Earth Society. So if the "Theory of Blessings in the Palace" was established, the anti-Qing people behind the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would not be backfired by the heavenly punishment. Isn't that incompatible with historical facts?
But the problem is that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom overthrew the Qingyao? It successfully turned the country into a few small pieces. No, the history books are clearly written, and the subsequent great unification of decades is called "Tongguang Zhongxing".
When the war broke out again later, it was still "from governance to chaos" rather than "from chaos to chaos". Therefore, the first person who started the army in the major stage of "from governance to chaos" was still retaliated by the rebellion of God's punishment and failed to unify the world.
From this perspective, Zhang Jiao, a rebel who had been destroyed, certainly cannot help the later rebels in the late Han Dynasty absorb the "first-in-charge" curse of heaven. Otherwise, wouldn't Wang Mang be able to help the later anti-Hans absorb the heavenly punishment? Wang Mang was the first to rebel against Han.
After every "Zhongxing" and "re-re-reunification", the historical records advocated by the first will be cleared and recalculated.
This is an important part of the deterrent power of the Palace Aggression.
As long as the previous thief fails, the God of Condemnation will be reset! The cooldown will be refreshed!
...
"It turns out that we can't deliberately make a leader to absorb the punishment from heaven, so that the people behind us can rebel. This "leader" really can't help the world to enter into separatist rule to count... It's really much more difficult and it's not easy to be exploited by rebels."
Cai Yan re-deduced the theory that Li Su perfectly explained seven or eight times, trying to find the negative example through historical deeds, but after finding a meal, he did not expect the negative example.
She ate this meal so well for half an hour, and even her hair was twitched after eating it.
In the end, she had to admit that the theory of Senior Brother is indeed very good at calming the hearts of the world, and it is many times better than Dong Zhongshu's.
"After all, I lost to my senior brother. I thought I was very smart and had a chance, alas."
Cai Yan put down the manuscript and slid it on the desk table. Even the bunch of stubborn hair that slipped out of the double-ring bun drooped down again, like a deflated Kada duck.
But she still didn't give up and wanted to suppress her senior brother a little bit: "But, since that's the case, even I would misunderstand, and those who are less likely to misunderstand it.
You should also be able to understand the books. Since it is to tempt the people, if only the great scholars know the original intention, wouldn’t it cause the people to misunderstand and even induce the ambitious to take risks?”
Li Su thought about it and made a fair comment: "This is a good sentence. If the time is right, I will find a way to add comments. But this time we have to write the scriptures first. The scriptures should not be explained in terms of questions - poetry, books, rituals, and etiquette, how can we debate with people? The collection of classics, history, and sub-schools, only the "scholar" has more debates and questions."
Among the Confucian classics, the Five Classics are considered "Classics". The classics are all straightforward and difficult to debate.
The "Four Books" such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" are similar to the various schools of thought. They can tell fables, even debate with people from hostile schools, and then record the debate process. However, this genre is not solemn enough and cannot be used as the "Sutra" in the strict sense.
Although Cai Yan was only thirteen years old, she followed her father to read the simple school of thoughts and schools of thought at the age of five. She had been reading for seven or eight years, so she also knew the knowledge of these genres.
After hearing Li Su's refusal, she thought for a while and continued to ask: "Senior Brother, after you finish writing the scriptures, can you write another 'biography' or 'ask the right', just like Zhuangzi debated with others. You just happened to include some confused beginners who are confused about 'the palace is blessed', and then argue and analyze them one by one."
Just like reading the "Four Books" without "The Collection of Notes on the Four Books", there will definitely be a lot of ambiguity and misunderstandings.
Li Su smiled and said, "I will naturally write this. After I finish writing this sutra, it will be these things that will clear the source."
Cai Yan's eyes rolled and he asked with a smile: "When the time comes, can I write this question today in the first article of "Question of Cai Ligong"? Or leave it to me to write it? I will remember all the things you and I just said."
Li Su couldn't help but feel silence: "You are a girl, and you want to leave your name in the scriptures so much?"
Cai Yan pouted and tried to make himself look serious and serious: "Ban Zhaoxucheng's "Book of Han", wrote "The Women's Commandments" and left his name in history. I have been studying for eight years and have read all the scholars. If I don't leave any articles behind, I would be too unwilling to accept it. I can't write seriousness, so it's good to write external biography and ask questions. Alas, it's a pity."
Seeing Cai Yan's expression was so sad that he didn't seem to be fake, Li Su couldn't help but wonder: "I didn't let you write, I won't agree to you, what's the pity?"
Cai Yan stood up and put his hands on his hips: "Senior brother, I remember you are eighteen years old."
Li Su looked at the other party with fun: "So what?"
In fact, his body was only sixteen years old after two months, and he was just eighteen to make an official statement earlier.
Cai Yan pouted: "Hmph, if I had been born five years earlier and read five more years, I would be eighteen years old now. Maybe my knowledge would be enough to participate in writing seriousness. What a pity, since Gongsun Hong and Dong Zhongshu, it has been more than 280 years since the whole world has had another chance to make such a grand event. However, I missed it because of my youth and learning. I can only participate in the "Question" in this life."
It’s a pity that you have not been born.
When Li Su heard this, she wanted to deal with the comfort and comfort her, "There will be a chance in the future."
But then I thought about it, "The Palace is blessed" has become the highest level of the orthodox theory of monarchy. There will be no monarchy in history, so he can't compile it even if he can't compile it.
He had no choice but to change his mind and stop talking.
Cai Yan saw his expression change a few times, and he was still looking forward to it, and his eyes flashed and asked, "Do you want to comfort me?"
Li Sugang admitted straight and straight: "I wanted to comfort you at first, but I thought about it carefully. There will be no such opportunity in my life, so I'm sorry."
Cai Yan bit his lip, which seemed a little incredible: "You won't pretend to coax me and let me go? I... My father has taken so many disciples, and today is the first time I have encountered you so bluntly."
"Is that so? I don't believe it." Li Su responded on a regular basis, "I don't know anyone else, Gu Yong will definitely not deceive people just to coax you."
Cai Yan: "Senior Brother Gu will not lie, but he will at least keep silent! It's not like you just expose my expectations!"
Alas, this is a straight man who has met a straight man. He is sympathetic and has no emotions, and he boils cranes and burns the piano to cause trouble.
Li Su: "You just want to participate in writing "Cai Li Gong's Question"?"
Cai Yan finally surrendered and dared not complain again: "I want to..."
Li Su: "If you want to, stop talking nonsense. Just follow today and look for the loopholes you think you think. I will answer one by one. You can organize it! At that time, at least this "Question" can be signed by your name, which is my answer record. OK."
Many of the answers in "The Analects of Confucius" were also said by Confucius, but "The Analects of Confucius" itself was not written by Confucius, but by those disciples who asked Confucius' questions.
Now that I can catch a junior sister as a cheap labor force, I have to compile the debate rhetoric, so I don’t need to be useless.
...
From that day on, Cai Yan unknowingly became a cheap labor force.
After repeated struggles, she was dissatisfied with her and made things difficult for her, she finally found that she still couldn't find any tricks and could not refute Li Su's "Theory of Blessings in the Palace".
Just like a top student who just went to junior high school, she had a rebellious period and always wanted to find fault with her Chinese teacher.
No matter what general knowledge points the teacher taught, she felt uncomfortable without looking for a few negative examples. Once she thought she had found the exception, she was ecstatic and went to the teacher to answer questions and show off, secretly expecting that the teacher would not make up the problem.
But the final result was at best, through repeated active attacks, helping Li Su define each concept more accurately, and all the misunderstandings that other people with low talent and knowledge might encounter were stress tests and checked out.
A month of writing books says time passes quickly.
Li Su talks with Cai Yong every morning about how to write a serious story.
In the afternoon, I accepted Cai Yan's question and Cai Yan recorded the content of the annotation.
Cai Yan is also quite grateful and knows that he can get his own writings by following Li Su through his studies. He is very polite to Li Su and completely forms the respect he deserves to be respectful to his senior brother.
Every time Li Su was exhausted from thinking, Cai Yan would help Li Suwen drink and refresh himself, play the piano and hypnotize him, so that after Li Su could recover his energy, he would pull Li Su to study and squeeze his energy out again.
Although this kind of life is hard, during the right process, Li Su also understood some unexpected gains: this kind of thing is really suitable for Cai Yan to do, and he may not be able to play the role of this questioner if he changes his person.
Why? It's very simple, because once the "On the Palace of Funeral Relations" was announced and approved by the court, many questions were not dared to ask about. Therefore, Li Su could not expect other great scholars to debate with him.
This is related to the political nature of this theory: you are staring at the court's orthodox theory and looking for counter-exceptions. What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?
Or at least I want to provide theoretical basis for other people who are ready to treason but dare not treason, give them courage, and tell them that "God's punishment has been absorbed and fulfilled by the previous rebel, are you safe"?
If outsiders question too much, they can easily be charged with the crime of being ruthless - is it unfavorable to see the sword of the Ten Constant Sermons?
However, these counterexamples are not completely unresolved. If everyone dares not say it, hiding the ambiguity of understanding in their hearts, it is not conducive to unifying people's hearts. As the saying goes, it is better to be relieved than to block them.
For example, the previously mentioned "Did Zhang Jiao suck Zhang Ju's punishment away" is the easiest question to think of. It is estimated that at least a few thousand people in the world will think of it.
So the best way is to find someone close to Cai Yong and pretend to be a novice and ask these questions.
Cai Yan is only thirteen years old and a little girl. Asking this kind of question will definitely not be interpreted by the world as "with ulterior motives and want to help the thief to be brave." She will only think that she is "curious by nature and purely studious". After all, no daughter opposes the academic theory of her father.
Moreover, her questions were easily answered by Li Su, just like Huizi, who was responsible for supporting roles in "Zhuangzi", the questioning was just right, and there would be no toxicity that Li Su could not resolve.
It is simply a safe vaccine that kills live, with just the right scale, which will not cause the body to become lesions, but can also make up for immune loopholes.
The junior sister of the academic master is so beautiful!
In this way, the three of them worked together sincerely and were busy until the end of October. The first drafts of "The Palace of the Great Blessings" and "The Questions of Cai Li Gong" were finally released one after another.
Everyone thought about it last and handed over both sets of contents to the craftsmen of the Zhen family to carve.
The finished book was printed around the beginning of November.
Looking at the works that had not yet dissipated, a trace of sharpness flashed across Li Su's eyes.
Promote the content of this set of books, and cooperate with Liu Yu's military pressure and interest temptations, three-pronged approaches, and it is time to send the rebels on their way!
Chapter completed!
