When Kong Yu heard what happened before, he was extremely angry.
He cursed angrily:
"This person is going too far to deceive people! One word left and one sentence right are all mocking my Confucianism, belittling my Confucianism to the point of being worthless, and mocking our ancestors. This is tolerable, but what is intolerable!"
"I'm so angry!"
indoor.
Zixiang closed the bamboo slip on the eucalyptus.
sighed:
"He was actually right."
"We Confucians have been stagnant for a long time. Compared with our ancestors, we and other Confucian people are actually mediocre people. Therefore, we only dare to hang on to the inheritance of our ancestors without any slack. We do not dare to pass Confucianism on to others.
.”
"Xunzi is a sage of Confucianism."
"Back then, I served as the 'sacrificial wine' of Jixia Academy three times, and I could be said to be the most famous person in the world at that time. Logically speaking, Xunzi should lead our Confucianism to prosperity, but this is not the case. Confucianism is extremely disgusted with Xunzi's teachings.
Even disgust."
"Did the leader of Confucianism at that time, our father (Zishen), not know that Xunzi came from Confucianism? Didn't he know that Xunzi's teachings could lead our Confucianism to prosperity?"
"Know."
"But we still have to resist."
"We even want to exclude Xunzi from Confucian orthodoxy."
"Why?"
"Xunzi's teachings deviated from the traditional Confucianism and Mencius and entered a heretical path. Xunzi's 'Confucianism' integrated etiquette and law, which is different from the Confucianism we have learned. Therefore, Aweng regarded Xunzi as 'talented and poor in learning',
Expelling him from Jixia Academy many times on the grounds of 'not seeing the sage' is an attempt to prevent his teachings from continuing to be taught in the academy."
“But is Xunzi’s teaching really not Confucianism?”
"Of course not."
"It's just that Xunzi's Confucianism is contrary to the Confucianism known to the world, and cannot be recognized by Confucianism. Although Xunzi's talents are not as good as those of his ancestors and Mencius, they are not far behind. He should be regarded as a rare sage in our Confucian school."
"But that's why."
"Confucians dare not accept Xunzi's teachings."
"Confucianism can only have one voice, and Xunzi is too talented. If Xunzi is recognized as Confucianism, and Xunzi was still alive at the time, many people will definitely study Xun Confucianism, and then the Confucian and Mencius Confucianism we study will naturally
Being treated coldly."
"This is absolutely impossible."
"If it were in the early or middle stages of the Great War, Confucianism might not be able to accommodate Xunzi. But at that time, Qin was the only strong country and the unification trend was obvious. How could Confucianism dare to rule two sects at that time? After Mozi's death, the Mohist school was divided
Wei San’s fate is still fresh in my mind.”
"How dare I, a Confucian, make such a mistake again?"
"Therefore, the Confucians knew that Xunzi's teachings were derived from Confucianism, but they did not dare to admit it, and even tried their best to exclude this Confucian sage to the Legalists, because the world could not tolerate two dissident Confucians, and the world would not allow it.
Opportunities for Confucian fusion.”
"Nowadays, as a Confucian, I can only speak of Confucius and Mencius, but I can hardly speak of Xunzi."
"That's why."
"When it comes to seeking change, my Confucianism has undergone the greatest change. However, due to formality, in order to avoid Confucianism being divided, I deliberately only talk about Confucius and Mencius."
"But to say that I am a Confucian who is conservative is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!"
"It makes sense!" Kong Kun nodded in praise, "Brother Xiang really has a unique vision. In just a few words, I suddenly realized it and exposed Qin Luoheng's fallacies one by one."
"How could I, a Confucian, never seek change?"
Zixiang said coldly:
"This tenth young master comes from a royal family, how can he understand these principles?"
"Nowadays, our Confucian school is in decline. If we did not adhere to the teachings of our ancestors and allowed the various branches to scatter randomly, our Confucian school would have fallen apart and ceased to exist. How can we still become the dominant school in the academy?"
"It is precisely because we only study the knowledge of our ancestors that our Confucianism can always stand firm."
"The fact that Confucianism has survived for a long time just proves that the knowledge of our ancestors has been tempered for thousands of times. No matter how the world changes, our Confucianism can always exist in the world and remain tenacious. How can these outsiders know the truth behind it?"
"We, the Confucians, rarely even mention Mencius now, but we still seek change. If we really believe that nonsense, we, the Confucians, will not be far from destruction."
Kong Yu nodded in agreement and snorted coldly: "This tenth young master has a heart that can be punished."
Zixiang's eyes darkened.
Ning Sheng said:
"Although we didn't get involved in today's matter, through Shusun Tong's actions, the Tenth Young Master's attitude towards Confucianism has become clear. He doesn't like my Confucianism, and he doesn't even have a specific understanding of my Confucianism. Such
How dare I get close to a Confucian?"
Kong Yu also showed a look of solemnity in his eyes.
Zixiang continued:
"Whether the Tenth Young Master likes Confucianism or not has no influence on us."
"I, the Confucian, have never thought about getting close to the tenth son. The one we have always been close to is the eldest son. Now it just makes us more determined in our thoughts."
"Ten Young Master thinks we are not asking for change."
"How could he know that our Confucianism is actually changing all the time."
"Although other schools of thought in the Baijia School are also rooted in the local area, such as the Mohist School, the Farmer School and other schools, they are deeply cultivated in the fields, but their disciples are often people with status and background. However, my Confucian school is currently educated but not educated.
kind."
"The changes of other schools of thought are to become sycophantic and flattering, but the changes of our Confucian school are for the survival and growth of the school. Which other school can compare with my Confucian school?"
"My Confucianism is about scholarship, but this will never change."
"When our Confucianism becomes the world's scholarly scholarship and dominates the court, people in the world will know the true meaning of our Confucianism and how great our Confucianism is."
"Fa, Tao, and Mohism are all no match for my Confucianism!"
"Otherwise, our Confucianism and Legalism have always been at odds with each other. How could we be able to dominate the academy in an environment surrounded by Legalism? Doesn't this just prove that our Confucianism is extraordinary?"
Kong Yu nodded repeatedly.
Echoed:
"Brother Xiang, what you said is very true."
"My Confucianism has just not become a prominent school in the country."
"When our Confucianism becomes the mainstream of the world, we will definitely show these people how our Confucianism governs the world and how we realize the world's peaceful and contented life. What an extraordinary school our Confucianism is."
"It's a pity that the court is full of mediocre people and can't see the value of my Confucianism."
"It's so pathetic!"
immediately.
Kong Kun frowned and asked: "The Ten Young Masters scolding my Confucianism like this will surely inspire other schools in the academy. Will this damage the reputation of my Confucianism? If word spreads, the world will think that my Confucianism is just for fame and reputation."
generation."
"or......"
"Shall I go and save my face myself?"
Zixiang pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
He said:
"Need not."
"After all, he has a special status. If my brother comes forward, he will be talked about. Moreover, the Tenth Young Master is very good at sophistry. If you, brother, expose your flaws unintentionally, you may allow him to continue to succeed. Then we, the Confucian family, will really lose our face."
"Let him be majestic this time."
"Have I, the Confucian, ever been afraid of other schools of thought in the academy?"
"Their remarks have nothing to do with my Confucianism. As for the influence from the outside world, the last time Yangzi and Gaotangsheng were arrested, they already lost face once. What does it mean if they are embarrassed again? It is not appropriate for Confucianism to have too many branches these days."
"As for the Tenth Young Master."
"hehe."
"I have seen his past experience, and he does not seem to be a calm person. Even if I, the Confucian, do not take action, I am afraid that he will cause trouble himself. When the time comes, I, the Confucian, will follow the trend and say that making noise will cause trouble and stirring up trouble will cause trouble.
Has Confucianism ever lost?"
"Haha." Kong Yu laughed when he heard this.
Then he said:
"Then let him be."
"I, the Confucian family, can afford a mere reputation."
"However, the news that the Tenth Young Master has come to the Doctor's Academy must be passed on to the Eldest Young Master. Now that the court is undergoing changes, the Eldest Young Master is still in Chu, but it is a bit inappropriate. If the Tenth Young Master is allowed to arrive first, he will be able to make good friends with those
The new ministers may be detrimental to the situation of the eldest son."
Zixiang nodded and said:
"This matter should indeed be informed to the eldest son. Regardless of whether the tenth son wants to get acquainted with the courtiers or not, we have to take precautions. It's just that the eldest son may not be able to come back for a while. The land policy in Chu has only been implemented for a few months and has not yet been completed.
If you come back early during the grain season, you may suffer a loss."
"If I'm not wrong."
"The eldest son's trip to Chu should be the suggestion of the Chu court officials."
"These courtiers should have communicated with the officials of the Chu region. If there are no natural or man-made disasters, the Chu region where the eldest son is located will have a bumper harvest today, and the taxes collected by the government will be much higher than in previous years."
“This is a real political achievement!”
"The eldest son has lived in the palace for a long time, so he needs this kind of political performance."
"Compared with making friends with new courtiers, obtaining such political achievements will obviously help the eldest son more. When the eldest son returns to the court with the good news of quelling public complaints and increasing grain production, many people will be impressed.
If you get to know the courtiers again, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
"But now there is a problem."
"Your Majesty asked the eldest son to go to Chu to implement the new land policy, but he did not specify how long he would stay in Chu. If it is just until the grain is harvested, then there is no problem. If it takes more than a year and a half, the variables will be too big.
Already."
"The tenth son is in Xianyang, and the eldest son is in Chu."
"A few months will have little impact on both of them, but if it lasts for a long time, not to mention a few years, even a year and a half, the eldest son may not be able to bear this impact. Even if the eldest son returns with the news by then,
, I’m afraid I’ve also lost the opportunity, which is not a good thing.”
"Brother wrote to the eldest son. In addition to explaining the tenth son's admission to the palace, he also wanted to explain the disadvantages of the eldest son being in Chu. Let the eldest son prepare to return to Xianyang as soon as possible. It is related to the position of the crown prince. The eldest son is
There can be no carelessness."
"If His Majesty still hasn't let the eldest son come back after the autumn harvest, the eldest son will have to find a way to return to Xianyang by himself, otherwise many changes may occur, which is actually very bad."
"Brother, you must explain the pros and cons."
Kong Yu's eyes darkened.
He naturally knew the disadvantages of the eldest son being absent from Xianyang for a long time.
Kong Yu said:
"I see."
"I will definitely inform the eldest son of the pros and cons."
"I thought that the Tenth Young Master was already hated by His Majesty, but he turned out to be getting more and more troublesome. He really makes people dare not underestimate him."
