Of course, the enemy is not just found.
When Pang Tong brought Pang Shanmin to the square in front of Qinglong Temple, the Guanli children who had been waiting here for a long time naturally had a stir.
Although these people have been waiting in the cold wind for half an hour, they will inevitably feel a little complaining and whispered a lot of complaints, when Pang Tong and others appeared, these people changed their expressions in an instant, changed into flattering and flattering smiles, hid their dissatisfaction deep in their hearts, and hurriedly left the warm wind shed and rushed towards Pang Tong and others. While paying salutes, they also shouted various compliments, hoping that they could attract the attention of Pang Tong or some others.
After all, for most people, important officials like Pang Tong and Zhuge Jin who are in the cavalry are definitely rare in daily life. When they encounter an opportunity, they naturally have to try to please and favor and seek benefits for themselves.
Pang Tong didn't care about the pleasing and flattery of these children. He just nodded slightly to everyone, but his steps were not at all, and he walked straight to the main hall of Qinglong Temple.
Zhuge Jin and Pang Shanmin also followed Pang Tong closely, and even smiled and bowed their hands under their feet.
Some people who happened to be right did not receive the news, but when they saw a group of people gathered here, they couldn't help but come over and ask about the situation.
I don’t know when there was news that Pang Shanmin was going to compete with Zheng Xuan!
The battle may be a bit exaggerated, after all, you can't really go up and add fists, but it may also mean that there is a different flavor?
Moreover, Pang Shanmin also found some strange things from the foreign countries, which are said to have been written by sages like Confucius and Mencius...
This is even more rare. There are Confucius and Mencius in the country of Taixi?
Pang Tong raised his head and walked forward.
This time he came to support Pang Shanmin...
Is the news? Of course he also spread it.
After the news spread, a sensational effect quickly occurred.
With Pang Tong's current wealth, the appearance fee is... Cough cough cough, with Pang Tong's status, he is now coming to Pang Shanmin as a guide, which naturally means that this matter is extraordinary.
As one of the most important officials under the Cavalry, or perhaps no less, Pang Tong came here, does this mean the meaning of the General of the Cavalry?
There is never a shortage of "smart people" in this world who are good at guessing.
There are also many people who claim to be "smart people" in Qinglong Temple.
So, after all the speculations, many people gathered together today and watched Pang Shanmin enter the house.
Pang Shanmin actually looks average, but he is better than Pang Tong.
Not everyone can be as handsome as Pig Brother, attracting people to the same bed, nor is it like fish sauce. Both men and women are suitable for killing both young and old. Pang Shanmin is an ordinary person's appearance, not ugly or good.
And Zhuge Jin is naturally elegant.
Therefore, Pang Tong and the other two could be arranged in a row, fully expressing the progressive relationship from ape...well, from a very average to a middle-aged person, to a good appearance.
When everyone saw Pang Shanmin, they couldn't help but talk.
Is this the legendary hermit, the descendant of Pang Degong?
After all, it is a paradise who claims to not be happy about wealth, wealth, reputation and title, and does not attach to powerful and high-ranking officials.
So why did Pang Shanmin appear here again?
Didn’t you slap yourself in the face?
This is very interesting!
With all kinds of thoughts turning, including Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui who were beside him, everyone's eyes focused on Pang Tong and Pang Shanmin...
On the other hand, Pang Tong ignored the doubts in the hearts of others, but just accelerated his pace, came to Zheng Xuan, bowed to Zheng Xuan, "I have met Mr. Zheng."
Zheng Xuan's face was a little better. He was just stroking his beard and said a few words, but when he saw Pang Tong, he almost stopped. He walked to Sima Hui again, bowed and bowed, "I have seen Mr. Shui Jing."
"Uh, okay, okay!" Sima Hui laughed twice, glanced at Zheng Xuan's face with a squint, then quickly closed his eyes, nodded repeatedly, and smiled with a kind-eyed look.
Everyone acts on the same stage, uh, compete on the same stage, so naturally there is no distinction between the top and bottom.
Since it is a play, then a theme is needed.
The theme this time is to redirect the direction of the Qinglong Temple Grand Theory, which was originally deviated from, and return to the track preset by General Fei Qian of the Cavalry.
There are many reasons for deviation, but one of them is that Zheng Xuan is too self-reliant.
In Qinglong Temple, Zheng Xuan did not do his best.
Perhaps Zheng Xuan failed to understand Fei Qian's meaning, perhaps Zheng Xuan understood but failed to do it well, or perhaps he simply didn't think about doing it well, it was possible, but it was no longer important now.
Zheng Xuan cannot do it or cannot do it well, so he can let others say that he can do it.
It’s like a position. If A can’t do it, B will change it.
At any time, any dynasty, and academic service are for politics.
Perhaps when someone sees this "service", he thinks of great health care, such as ice and fire, and he looks disgusted on the surface, but looks like that in his heart. Then he thinks that a young girl with such clean academics can match a middle-aged man with such greasy politics?
In fact, one loves money and the other is lustful, isn’t it just a perfect couple?
This is not a joke at all.
The exploration of truth and control of power are the core of academic and political.
Plato of ancient Greece believed that only by mastering knowledge and truth can a person have the basis to become a "king". The logic contained in "philosopher King" is that academics serve politics.
Similarly, there are similar statements in classic works of the Spring and Autumn Period. "The King of Saints" must internalize good moral qualities into one's own benevolence. After mastering the "Dao of Heaven", one can become the real king.
The various schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were originally born to explore political ways of seeking political opportunities and ways to govern the country.
Some people say that the theory of Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, and Zhuangzi is indeed very outstanding. But why did there not be a group of people who can compare with them in China for so many years?
So is it basically reaching a peak at the beginning of creation, so it is difficult to break through?
Actually, yes, not.
From a certain perspective, later generations have been creating and innovating.
However, because the direction of the journey is consistent with that of the predecessors, it seems that there has been no change or breakthrough. However, in fact, whether it is the Neo-Confucianism or the Mind study of later generations, it can be said that it has reached a new level and reached a new level.
That's right, a new height.
But it is not a new breadth, nor a new world.
If you want to observe these breakthroughs and progress of these latecomers, you will find some regrets.
Because the people in the front, especially in the Han Dynasty, had already framed the Confucianism to death, and the emperors of all dynasties reinforced and welded the frame. As long as the monarch, minister, minister, father, son and son are not broken for one day, then the children of Confucianism naturally could not jump out of this frame, and could only make a fuss within this frame, and they would only be able to make a fuss within this frame, stacking higher and higher, and finally shaking.
Under the framework of "resonance between heaven and man", in the "social subconscious", it is embedded in the "social subconscious" that only by becoming a Confucian student can he become an official, or be corrupt and make money, or better sounds like a golden house and a jade.
Such unspoken rules have become the mainstream, and the works and ideas that have developed in another direction have been destroyed by generations of emperors and Confucian children.
It is not that later generations cannot surpass their predecessors, but that there were no political restrictions at all during the various schools of thought, and naturally there was a colorful collision of various ideas. After the Han Dynasty, thinking gradually became framed and all the ideas that were jumped were blocked. They would often remove the cabinet and remove the shelves, which would lose their original diversity.
I didn't tell you if it was not possible, but I just asked myself to modify it, but I didn't have time to modify it. It was like the imperial court's large-scale book reviews, such as the Siku Quanshu...
Academics cannot be separated from politics.
Politics also limits academics.
Love and kill each other for a lifetime.
Pang Tong took Pang Shanmin and went to the stage. In fact, it was similar to asking Zheng Xuan, "Do you know you are wrong there?"
Zheng Xuan was still in a state of discontent, but there were some subtle changes in his face. If he were not a familiar person, he might not be able to detect it.
Unfortunately, Sima Hui was sitting next to Zheng Xuan.
Sima Hui lost his wife in his early years and then died of a son. After reuniting, his wife died of a plague. Then he regarded his academics as his son. Well, Sima Yi was just his nephew.
What are the sons and nephews?
Pang Tong said about a few words on the stage, and then led out Pang Shanmin.
The protagonist on the stage this time is not Pang Tong, but Pang Shanmin.
Pang Shanmin actually likes the breath of Guanzhong, which is a sense of confidence.
The confidence of the people.
In Jingzhou, whether in the Liu Biao period or in the Cao Ren period, when the carriage on the right of the gentry passed through the Guandao village or the city gates of the streets, ordinary people always avoided it, often lowered their heads and glanced at them, and stayed away from the vehicles as much as possible.
However, when Pang Shanmin arrived at the Sanfu of Guanzhong, he found that the farmers who were busy in Guanzhong would also look at these carriages, but their bodies never shrank or deliberately avoided them.
Pang Shanmin originally thought it was just his illusion, but later he found out that it was not the case.
The officials of the Sanfu Guanzhong did not think that the people bowed their heads and were obedient, nor did they think that the people raised their heads and were disobedient. The same was true for the people. When they were curious, they just stood up, looked at them openly, and then continued to work on their own affairs.
Doing your own things doesn't require those extra actions.
Guanzhong is confident. This confident mentality is vividly displayed from the farmer's eyes, smile, or busy things in the fields.
It’s like Guanzhong has always been dissatisfied with being located below Shandong.
There are also such a group of people in Qinglong Temple, but they are not farmers, but children of the gentry, especially those poor families. These people are the most ambitious people. In order to show their ambitions, they can do everything that ordinary people cannot tolerate. They are also the group of people who believe that there is no high or low among the gentry. Because their origins are not expensive, they naturally do not believe that "wealth is a certain number."
After all, most of those who believe that fate is a certainty will not come to Chang'an.
They are both surnames, why do some people have wealth and wealth when they are born, and some people have to be depressed and humble when they are born?
If you dare to think about what, you will feel unfair.
If you are qualified to think about what you want, you will think about doing a career in your heart.
Qinglong Temple is like a magnet, bringing together those who are determined to be the world.
In such places, such people certainly need better guidance and clearer directions.
Zheng Xuan couldn't do it, or Zheng Xuan did it, but he couldn't do it well.
The matters planned by Fei Qian, the General of the Cavalry, were very big. Pang Shanmin only understood a little, but was already very impressed. He originally thought that he came to Guanzhong because Fei Qian wanted to implement Huang-Lao's art and abolish Confucianism. Then he played a game of unfinished chess with Fei Qian. Pang Shanmin realized that this was not the case.
Although Pang Shanmin was in the same relationship with Pang Degong and the descendant of the Huang-Lao faction, he did not think that he had to do anything with Confucianism, because the world itself was not black or white.
Pang Shanmin doesn't like disputes or argues with others, but he still comes because he also wants to communicate face to face with Fei Qian to understand what kind of plan and arrangement Fei Qian has for the present and the future of the entire Han Dynasty.
King the world.
Conquest is not the ultimate goal.
If it is for the sake of the power of a high-ranking official, Fei Qian is now above ten thousand people.
If it is for the prosperity and stability of the people, then the people in Guanzhong are gradually becoming prosperous and stable.
in the case of……
That would be very dangerous.
So even if Pang Shanmin doesn't like disputes, he comes.
Pang Shanmin previously believed that people can reason. As long as they explain the truth clearly, it is easy to do the corresponding correct things. Chaotic conquests are a situation that no one wants, so as long as they are clear and powerful, smart people will naturally not do anything about Hutu and what harmful but unprofitable things are done.
If the measures of governing the country cannot make the country strong and the people healthy, it should not be done in theory.
Then Fei Qian told Pang Shanmin that not everyone in the world is reasonable.
If you want everyone in the world to reason, Confucianism must first be reasonable.
Because Confucianism has adhered to the responsibility of education since Confucius' time, the kind of teacher will lead to the kind of students. The emperor must be reasonable, the officials must be reasonable, and the people must be reasonable, so that everyone can be reasonable in the end. As long as there is a mistake in any link, there is no need to be reasonable.
Now, Fei Qian told Pang Shanmin that Confucian children had begun to become unreasonable.
Start with the modern scriptures.
Start with the induction of heaven and man.
Starting from the White Tiger's Controversy...
Academics serve politics. When academics begin to be unreasonable, then politics will naturally be unreasonable. The unreasonable political will in turn deepen the unreasonable academic.
Why unreasonable?
Because the fist is big.
Fei Qian did not say anything to Pang Shanmin if the cannon is within the range, but Pang Shanmin could understand it generally.
During the various schools of thought, Confucian fist was not big enough, but after the Han Dynasty, Confucian fist became bigger and bigger, and naturally became more and more unreasonable. If you want to be reasonable, you must have a even opponent, just like when both sides of the debate find that they cannot beat the other party, they can only win the support of others.
This opponent is the "Cano" specially found by Fei Qian.
A powerful foreign enemy can prevent brothers from strife.
When there are no foreign enemies among the Chinese brothers, are they running forward together?
No.
I wish I could kill the other person and become the boss himself.
This is the end of the tragedy of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this is the stone left by Qin Shihuang, and this is the ultimate goal of all Chinese emperors.
So there must be foreign enemies.
There must be foreign enemies in academics, foreign enemies in politics, and foreign enemies in the country.
This enemy cannot be too far away. If it is too far away, it cannot be felt, and if it is too close, it may be too close. If it is too close, it may be harmed by the enemy that day. The "enemy" that Fei Qian took out now seems to be just right.
"Five Generations of Rivers, Mountains, Winds and Moons"
"Everything in the world has advantages and disadvantages. Just like a person's food, it is profitable for gains, and it is harmful for loss." Pang Shanmin said slowly, "Do you agree?"
As soon as Pang Shanmin made a statement, everyone in the audience was talking.
Everyone in the audience, including Zheng Xuan, was thinking, but after careful thinking for a long time, they felt that they could not find out what was wrong with Pang Shanmin's argument, so they nodded one after another.
Although it is a bit too direct, it is like a steel knife moving in the middle and pulling the central palace.
Pang Shanmin and others' voices were quiet for a moment, and then continued: "In this way, the people of the world are mostly seeking profits and avoiding harm. Hunger and cold are harmful, wanting to be food and clothing, and being poor is harmful, wanting to be rich and noble, hurting and chaotic, wanting to be harmed, and wanting to be governed. Such things are the foundation of people and the wish of the world. Do you agree?"
Everyone whispered to each other.
There seems to be no problem with this?
Moreover, Pang Shanmin did not say that everyone is seeking profit and avoiding harm. He also said that most of them are. After all, the existence of the Lei Zihun cannot be avoided in any era. What's more, there are many people who say they want loyalty and righteousness, but in fact they still act for the sake of interests. Isn't that the same fact?
So after Pang Shanmin finished saying this, everyone had no objection.
Pang Tong nodded slightly, "The ancestors of Confucius and Mencius, and all the scholars of Confucius and Mencius were born in the Spring and Autumn Period, and each had its own decline and demise. The reason is that those who benefit the country and the people will survive, those who harm the country and the people will die, those who benefit the world will live, those who benefit the world will live, those who harm the world will live, those who harm the world will live, those who perform Qingming political affairs and those who stabilize the world will live, if they are harsh and heavy taxes, those who escape from the people will die, and those who escape from the world will die. All the ways of civil and military affairs, and the learning of the scholars will be like this. Do you agree?"
Pang Shanmin said this, not nonsense, but the tone.
Because the tone principle of contradictory interests and interests had been set before, Pang Shanmin continued to infer and naturally had no problem.
If someone disagrees at this time, it is equivalent to disagreeing with the things that have been agreed upon before. It is not just a slap in the face, but also a general tone that refutes Pang Shanmin's so-called "Everything in the world has advantages and disadvantages", and this general tone cannot be refuted.
Because this is the unity of contradictions and opposition.
If you think that the term "contradictory unity" is Western learning, you will jump up and despise it. In fact, there is no need to.
Because it is the same as China.
In the Book of Changes, there are explanations on words such as yin and yang, hardness and softness, size, distance, distance, interaction, up and down, good and bad, misfortune, fortune and fortune, life and death, survival and death, interests, etc. In fact, it is to reveal the opposites of things from different angles and emphasize the opposition and unity of things. This also affirms the universality of contradictions and affirms the opposition and unity of contradictions.
Therefore, when Pang Shanmin started from this, everyone naturally could not refute it.
Everyone had no objection, so Pang Shanmin's basic theories were basically established.
Chapter completed!
