"In ancient times, when there was no heaven and earth, there were only invisible images, slender and dark awns in the desert, and a cave in the sky, and no one knew its door..."
"People use learning to govern, and they start with enlightenment. They start with images, and learning is called observing things. After that, they have the appearance of heaven and earth. Those who were not the beginning did not have it, and they don't know it."
"There are two kinds of learning, one is knowledge, the other is governance..."
Liu Changji sat in front of the bed, holding the book in his hand, and started reading stammeringly. Lu Lu stood behind him. When Liu Chang stopped, he would whisper what to read the next word. With Lu Lu's help, Liu Chang read fairly smoothly.
Gai Gong lay on the bed in a daze, looking directly in Liu Chang's direction with half-closed eyes, wondering if he could hear what he said.
"Teacher, what do you think of this article? This article is called Psychiatric Training... and it was written by that incompetent Shu Zian under my inspiration!"
"They are all about scientific cognition and scientific application. Hahaha, this Zhuzi really has the demeanor of a teacher. What the Mo family made the day before yesterday, he wrote it as Huang Lao's the next day... Chen Tao was so angry It's bad. He came to me earlier with Mr. Huang's newspaper and his face was red with anger. He is an honest man and can't say anything bad. He is anxious and angry..."
"I probably know what this Zhuzi wants to do... Nowadays, we are a unified empire. Dispersion and competition among academics will make the rule unstable. The competition between various schools of thought is likely to evolve into a battle between temples and princes... The world is unified. , but this idea has not yet been unified. Until now, there are still schools of thought that believe that enfeoffment should be thoroughly implemented, and that the emperor of Han should be the same as the emperor of Zhou... Some people think that we should simply go back to an earlier time and learn from King Wu of Zhou... I too I hesitated for a long time, wondering whether I should copy what my grandson did..."
"In the short term, unity of thought is very necessary, but in the long term, lack of competitiveness will definitely lead to the corruption of the school. Even the best school will eventually turn into something... I don’t want to lose this competitiveness... This makes me very embarrassed.”
"However, judging from this Zhuzi's behavior, it seems that he wants to use Huang Lao's inclusiveness to integrate many schools of thought, making Huang Lao the mainstream, and other schools of thought will continue to compete with Huang Lao... I don't know whether this is good or bad. I know, but you also know that my knowledge has reached the point where I am on an equal footing with Laozi, Xunzi and others. If I continue to participate in this kind of school of thought, it will seem a bit bullying... After you fell ill, I I have debated with many people and have never lost once. No matter how powerful everyone is, they have all been defeated by me."
"They actually dare to come and argue with me. I'm afraid they don't know that I have been learning swordsmanship from you for decades!"
"I have always convinced people with reason, how can they argue with me?"
"I think it would be a good idea to leave such a trivial matter to that arrogant An to solve it... Anyway, he has nothing to do and is useless in other aspects. He is just so-so in learning. He still has some skills. Of course, he is still not as good as me, so Let him do it."
Liu Chang was talking nonchalantly, but Gai Gong just looked at him motionless.
Lu Lu stood aside, with countless things in his heart that he wanted to complain about, but he could only endure it.
"An is actually quite good, Lei Fu... The publication of his article immediately alarmed everyone in Chang'an, and people in the Imperial Academy were about to start a fight... Many schools of thought were insulting Mr. Huang, but Mr. Huang was the most powerful , and I’m not afraid of them... What I like most is watching the old men in Taixue fight... After you became ill, Mr. Huang no longer had any good debaters. On the contrary, Confucianism had several people who were particularly good at fighting. Okay. There are many old people in Huang, so if one person can’t beat him enough, he’ll ask someone to beat him..."
"By the way, teacher, I'm going to teach Bo the swordsmanship you taught me...Although this Shuzi is not as knowledgeable as his elder brother, he is stronger and taller than his elder brother. Liu Ci and the others insisted on it a few days ago
I kept asking him to play snowballs with him, but he threw a snowball over. It missed Liu Ci, but knocked over Lu Lu... Teacher, do you think there is a mysterious connection between this? How did I find out when
Is my uncle easily injured? Every time I threw a stone, I could hit my uncle accurately... Now Liu Bo is the same, and Lu Lu is stunned... If it is a little more deflected... I can raise enough military funds to hit him
It’s poisonous!”
Liu Chang talked for a long time
, my mouth was dry as I spoke, and I finally said goodbye to the teacher and left the courtyard.
Walking on the road, Liu Chang said to Lu Lu with a smile: "My teacher told me all day that all schools of thought came from Mr. Huang... I really didn't expect that after so many years, my son would actually implement my teacher's ideas.
Now... An is also the prince, and others dare not curse him, otherwise, he would have been scolded to death by now... But this guy's recruitment of disciples is getting more and more outrageous... He now has more than 700 disciples, right?
??They all deal with Huang Lao. I don’t know where this guy found so many scholars... He built seven or eight mansions to accommodate his disciples... I think this guy wants to surpass Lord Xinling!"
Lu Lu said: "Actually, the prince cannot be called a retainer...they are all well-educated people...at least there will be no shortage of talents around the prince in the future...talents can be arranged to go to various places to hold official positions at any time."
"The retainers are just here to fight...You said no one dares to fight with An...Why does he need so many people?"
"Your Majesty, haven't you read today's newspaper?"
"I didn't look...what's wrong?"
Liu Chang's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly: "Did someone scold that guy?"
...
"It's a disaster, it's a disaster... You! You! It's a disaster! We are finished!!"
In the small mansion of Gongyang School, Gongyang Shou looked pale and kept walking back and forth in the mansion with his hands behind his back, muttering in a low voice, while many of his relatives knelt in front of him, Hu Wusheng, Liu
Ci, Dong Zhongshu, and Gongsun Hong all lowered their heads and said nothing.
Gong Yangshou paced back and forth, and once again stopped in front of Hu Wusheng, pointed at him and cursed: "Tell me... what does it have to do with you that the prince borrowed from Mohism? Why did you criticize the prince in the newspaper?"
?Do you know what the crime is? Do you know who the current censor is?!"
"If you want to criticize, then criticize... Why do you want to insult the whole Huang Lao?? You also said that they have nothing at all and they copy hundreds of schools... You just pointed at the prince's nose and scolded him for his incompetence..."
Liu Ci hurriedly raised his head, "Teacher, senior brother has actually scolded me... At the end, he said that my elder brother's articles were exaggerated, showing knowledge everywhere, showing off knowledge, but none of his ideas were his own, and he just plagiarized things from various factions and forced
Mixing things from various schools together... there is nothing worth appreciating. I can only enjoy reading exaggerated and useless words like a beauty in Wuding Tower..."
Gong Yangshou's face turned dark and he clenched his fists several times.
Hu Wusheng said very seriously: "What I said is all true. Your Majesty's article is simple but has great connotations. Your Highness's article is wonderful but empty. It seems to cover everything, but in fact it is just pieced together and has no meaning at all."
Really..."
"Shut up!"
Gongyang Shou scolded him, "Is this a question of telling the truth or not? How do I usually teach you?"
"The teacher taught me to be upright and unyielding."
"I…"
Gong Yangshou wished he could slap himself several times.
In the morning, when Gongyang Shou was having a drink outside, several Confucian people came to see him. Gongyang Shou thought they were looking for trouble and were about to fight, but these people hurriedly knelt down and said they admired Gongyang Shou.
, being able to teach such a powerful disciple made Gongyang Shou confused. Until he saw the newspaper they handed over, Gongyang Shou was so frightened that he woke up from the wine and ran to the house without stopping, followed by many disciples.
I knelt before him and listened to the instruction.
Gongyang Shou was so angry that his seven orifices were full of smoke.
This matter has nothing to do with the Gongyang School in the first place. Even the Mo family didn't dare to say anything. Why are you going to be a hero? If it was in the past, forget it. Now that Chao Cuo is in power, what can't that thief do?
The Gongyang School is already weak, isn't it going to be completely over?
Gongyang Shou was trembling with anger, pointed at Hu Wusheng and cursed: "Wait, wait! We are all going to be killed!! Your article has caused a big disaster!"
Liu Ci was shocked. He quickly raised his head and asked, "Teacher...will I also be killed?"
"Except you!"
"That's great! I don't have to be punished!!"
Liu Ci clapped his hands.
"Teacher, maybe it's not as bad as you think... I have met the prince, and his highness is not a cruel person... and what the senior brother said is not all wrong... In my opinion, this move is not only harmless, but also
We from the Gongyang School..."
Before Dong Zhongshu finished speaking, someone knocked on the door and interrupted his speech.
"Did you see that? Someone has already come to arrest us!! I took you people in, it's just bad luck!!"
Gong Yangshou cursed, but his expression gradually calmed down.
He glanced at Hu Wusheng and reprimanded: "You will have to study in the study for a whole year! Let Gongsun Hong take care of the school affairs for the time being!"
He didn't wait for Hu Wusheng to answer, and went directly to open the door.
Sure enough, there were about a dozen young people standing outside the door. They were all dressed as scribes and wore long swords around their waists. They looked extremely unkind. They looked at the old man in front of them with some evil intentions and asked, "Hu Wu?"
Are you born here?"
Gong Yangshou raised his head and asked disdainfully: "Who are you?"
"It's the prince's disciples...who let Hu Wusheng be born."
"Oh... He is a disciple of the prince? Then there is no need to go to Hu Wusheng... I instructed him to write that article. I am the leader of the Gongyang School! You are looking for me, what's the matter with you?"
Hu Wusheng was stunned and hurriedly stepped forward, "I am Hu Wusheng."
The group of people were all a little surprised. They looked at the two people in front of them. The leader sneered and said: "In that case, those two people went there together... We are not looking for anything else. We just want to invite this person.
Give your uneducated Highness some face and take the time to teach..."
"Why do you need my disciples to teach that incompetent His Highness? I alone am enough!"
Gongyang Shou pushed away the two young men in front of him and walked out in a big way. Those people were shocked and put their hands on the hilt of the sword at their waist angrily. Gongyang Shou was not afraid at all and faced them.
They scolded: "What are you still waiting for? Why don't you keep up?"
"What a good Gong Yangshou! I thought you were old and didn't want to offend you, but you actually dare to humiliate our prince! Take him away!!"
Several people pushed Gong Yangshou and left here. Hu Wusheng was a little anxious and hurriedly stepped forward, but Liu Ci stopped him. Liu Ci hurriedly rushed to the door and faced the last person who was about to leave.
The doorman shouted: "You! It's you! Come here!"
The guest glanced at Liu Ci, looked at his clothes and looked like a prince, and probably understood his identity, so he hurriedly stepped forward.
"What are your orders, Master?"
"That's it... the person you took away is my teacher... If he is injured, I will kill all nine of your tribes and escape back to the feudal country. That's it. You can leave!"
The doorman's face turned livid, and he was about to say something, but Liu Ci had already turned his back and looked at the people in front of him proudly, "Teacher, don't worry...if you push me into a hurry, I'll go find him."
Auntie, just say that eldest brother’s retainers want to kill me!”
The doorman's hands shook slightly, and he quickly caught up with the group of people in the distance. He whispered something, and those people immediately moved away from Gong Yangshou.
The group left just like that, with Hu Wusheng's expression extremely serious.
"I cannot let the teacher be punished for what I have done..."
"Don't be anxious...my eldest brother is not a person who doesn't understand the truth...Besides, I'm his biological brother. As long as I try to persuade him nicely, or if it doesn't work, I just cry and wallow, he will definitely let us go!"
Liu Ci was quite confident.
Dong Zhongshu did not panic, "His Royal Highness will never harm the teacher... The only thing we have to worry about is Chao Cuo. Chao Cuo is a man who will do anything for political achievements. He wants to take care of everything, and he will participate in everything in the Imperial Academy."
, he will definitely be involved in this kind of thing... Not only will the prince not murder us, on the contrary, the prince may be able to protect us... Therefore, the most important thing we should do now is to rush to the prince's mansion...
.”
Dong Zhongshu usually looked stupid and silly, always slowing down others, but when he arrived
At times like this, his reaction seems to be faster than anyone else's.
Gongsun Hong also nodded and said: "With the prince, it's just an academic dispute, but if it's here with Chao Cuo... it's a crime of disrespect. Chao Cuo has been attacking many schools of thought... he won't let go of such an opportunity."
As soon as Gongsun Hong finished speaking, the door was kicked open.
Several tiger-like and wolf-like soldiers rushed in and stared at the people in front of them. An official walked in from behind them, looked at the people, and ordered: "Except Young Master Ci, everyone else will be tied up and taken back!"
Hu Wusheng was furious and suddenly pulled out his sword, "It's my fault alone, why should I involve them?"
When the official saw Hu Wusheng pull out his sword, he immediately laughed.
"Arrest...shoot to death."
"Shoot your mother!!"
Liu Ci couldn't sit still anymore. He directly picked up the wooden sword, stood in front of everyone, and stared at the official fiercely, "Come, come, if you are not afraid of death, just take a step forward today... I will not punish you.
The surname is not Liu! Chao Cuo is nothing! If you have the guts, step forward and give it a try!!"
The official said with a straight face, "Sir...please get out of my way...otherwise I will have to act according to the law."
"Hahaha, Nai Gong is standing here, what can you do?"
Liu Ci was not afraid of him at all. He walked up to him in a few steps, raised his head, and looked at him with mockery on his face.
...
Gong Yangshou was pushed into a mansion. There were many people in the mansion, more than sixty people. These people were still talking excitedly about something. When those people pushed Gong Yangshou in
At this time, they immediately stopped talking.
The entire mansion seemed extremely indifferent, with dozens of people staring at Gong Yangshou.
Gong Yangshou, who had a tough look just now, started to sweat on his face.
He wiped the sweat and tried to keep his legs from shaking.
He followed everyone into the inner room, and everyone stood at the door, still staring at him with cold eyes.
Liu An was sitting in the inner room, chatting happily with a few people. When he saw Gong Yangshou walking in, Liu An was stunned, why wasn't it Hu Wusheng?
Gong Yangshou walked up to Liu An very forcefully and said loudly: "I pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"I made a mistake. I drank some wine a few days ago and told nonsense to the people. They believed it and wrote down my nonsense... Please forgive me for my crime... But these are not my original intentions.
I respect His Highness the Crown Prince very much. Oh, by the way, I am already over sixty years old..."
Liu An stared at Gong Yangshou in front of him in stunned silence. He had never thought that a person could be so tough and cowardly.
Gongyang Shou is a direct descendant of Gongyang Gao, but since he was a child, he has shown some characters that are not in line with the family characteristics. He is fierce and aggressive. He has been burdened with crimes at a young age and has no choice but to run away... His father was so angry that he almost fainted.
In the past, how could such a thing come out of our academic family? When he was young, he had already become a knight-errant, wandering around and causing trouble. He did not go home for sixteen years... When he came home, Ah
But my father has passed away...the entire school has completely declined.
From then on, Gongyang Shou picked up the family inheritance and began to devote himself to the road of revitalizing the Gongyang School. However, his knight-errant demeanor never left him. From then on, there was a Confucian master who was least like everyone else in the world.
Seeing Gong Yangshou's appearance, Liu An burst out laughing.
"How can I punish you? You have pointed out my fault... This is what a sincere gentleman does... People in the world are afraid of me and dare not tell the truth. They only know how to flatter you. Even if they know my mistakes, they dare not tell them...
In this way, how can I increase my knowledge? You are not afraid of offending me and pointed out my shortcomings. I think what you said is quite pertinent... Your criticism of me is to the point, which few people can really say.
I can see that you have read many of my articles... I really want to ask you for advice..."
Now, it was Gong Yangshou's turn to be dumbfounded.
As the emperor's biological son, don't you go against the ancestral precepts and disgrace your family by being so magnanimous?
Co-authored by You Want Rewards Not Punishments
ah?
Gongyang Shou hurriedly bowed again, "Please atone for your sins! In fact, these are all written by my mother-in-law. With a villain's heart, I mistakenly thought that you wanted to punish me, so I came to admit my mistake... In fact, these have nothing to do with me.
, are all written by my ** Hu Wusheng... He is a man of extremely high knowledge and has a vicious gaze..."
As Gongyang Shou spoke, he seemed to remember something and shouted: "It's broken!!!"
