The five hundred and twenty-first chapter tongue wars Confucianism (2)
Chapter 521: Conversation with Confucians (2)
"Hmph!" Zhu Junli sneered: "I would like to hear the details."
Fang Yun ignored him and just said:
"The general trend of the world is divided and combined. The same is true for wars in the border areas. Every once in a while, there must be swords and soldiers on the border. This is determined by heaven and has nothing to do with human power. When the three holy emperors came to the world in ancient times, there were still wars and chaos, and all life was in ruins.
, the great power of the three holy emperors helped the world, and it was only then that ancient humanistic education came about. According to what the teacher said, after the three holy emperors were born, not only did they not be able to immediately wipe out the eight wastelands and Liuhe, but the wars worsened, don't they deserve to be regarded as saints and sages?
name?"
"this……"
Hearing Fang Yun mention the names of the Three Ancient Saint Emperors, Zhu Junli couldn't help but speechless. In Confucian classics, the three ancient Saint Emperors were directly regarded as sages and were highly respected. Zhu Junli once was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and quoted chapters and sentences from the classics,
He is even more familiar with it. The words in the Confucian classics have always been relied upon by him as the sacred law of Jinke. It is absolutely impossible for him to say anything to deny the Three Saint Emperors.
However, Zhu Junli was not an easy person after all. Hearing this, he immediately waved up his long sleeves and said angrily:
"Absurd! What kind of people are the three Holy Emperors? How dare you compare yourself to the three Holy Emperors?!"
After hearing this, Fang Yun smiled dumbly and said: "It is true that I cannot fathom the thoughts of the three Holy Emperors. However, how can a flock of birds understand their aspirations after flying thousands of miles? How well can the old gentleman understand my thoughts?
"
"When a phoenix first flies, its wings are uneven and it is just like an ordinary bird. Who dares to say that it is not a phoenix. When I joined the army, I was only fifteen years old. When there was a war in Dihuang, the Di tribe sent their princess Xie Daoyun. This woman led
Hundreds of thousands of Dihuang soldiers and horses galloped across the country, with few enemies. Fang Yun was only a captain at the time. But he was defeated. The old man thought that only a few people could defeat him. During the battle in the eastern wilderness, Fang Yun was the captain at that time.
, killed countless monsters in the wilderness, leaving dead bones everywhere. Moreover, after the battle, all the troops were damaged. Only Fang Yun’s men suffered the least losses. How many people do you think the general can do?"
"The deep sea is vast and boundless. When the Sea Clan attacked, some low-level fishmen warriors caused heavy losses to the court. The city was destroyed and soldiers were killed. Fang Yun took the initiative to ask for help and went overseas. He went deep into the hinterland of the Sea Clan and killed the high-level Sea Clan.
Countless, almost no battleships were lost. Old sir, how many people do you think can compare? The Dihuang prince Adiguai, the barbarian Samoko, the sea general Aopulus, and Naga, these people have all caused great losses to our dynasty.
, old gentleman, how many people do you think can kill these people together at sea? The talents of Jiangshan Sheji, at my age, are just like this, right?"
"To fly thousands of miles, you need to spread your wings and cultivate clouds, and then you can support the wind thousands of miles. A square cloud is just a weak crown, like a Kunpeng spreading its wings and cultivating clouds. How did the old gentleman know that I cannot fly thousands of miles and be a minister of the country?"
"The border war and the Hai Clan's rebellion have a long history. Looking back, it can be traced back to the time of the Five Emperors. The Middle Ages were at its peak. Even the Yin and Shang dynasties could not solve it. For example, human contamination
When the disease is severe, the disease enters the body, the flesh rots and the bones are painful. The flesh must be cut and the bones scraped, so that the disease can be gone. This time, the soldiers and generals were lost, and the city was destroyed. For example, cutting the meat and scraping it will cause pain, but it is a sign that the disease is gone.
Old gentleman, isn’t it a sign of great prosperity for the world in the future?”
"In today's imperial court, there are three Dukes in literature and Wu Mu in military affairs. Although there are constant wars in the border areas of the Zhou Dynasty, the inland areas have always been governed by officials and the people live in peace. This is all the credit of Wu Mu and the three Dukes. But unlike those who boast,
He lives up to his reputation in vain, gossips, and quotes scriptures, and no one can match him; he adapts to the situation and makes overall plans, but he is incompetent. If his writing cannot help the world, and his military force cannot stabilize the country, he will be laughed at by the world!"
Fang Yun's language in this article was so eloquent that Zhu Junli couldn't answer anything.
One person on the seat suddenly sneered: "Huh! After all, the general wants to flaunt himself as a minister of the country. Let me ask the general, since you gave him the title of Pingyao General, you will naturally have troops when you sit down. Please tell me this time
There is chaos in the frontier, where are your hundreds of thousands of troops? There is war in the frontier, and the court is recruiting people, but the general hides his troops in Huai'an and does not move. Could this be what the ministers of Jiangshan Sheji did?"
This statement was sharp. When Fang Yun looked up, he recognized that the man's name was Han Chuan. He was a famous Confucian in Yongzhou. He had many students under his name, sometimes said to be three thousand, and he was highly respected in Yongzhou.
Fang Yun said: "Our court has tens of millions of troops and abundant talents. Although the soldiers and horses from the Four Wildernesses are coming fiercely, the soldiers on the border are enough to deal with it. Moreover, the court has accumulated a large number of reserve troops. Such a campaign is the best time to train soldiers.
The mobilization of troops and horses has always been decided by military aircraft. There is no need for Fang Yun to worry about it. And although the 27th Battalion is in a corner, it is vigorously preparing for war and ready to go to the battlefield at any time. As the saying goes, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of every man.
I have soldiers who know no poetry, no poetry, and have the heart to serve the country. - However, my husband is a great talent and has three thousand students under my name. He doesn't know how to serve in the imperial court and serve the world. Instead, he lives in a corner and enjoys the wind, flowers, snow and moon, and his reputation is in vain.
Rong Hua, I wonder what kind of shame Sir has to criticize Fang Yun?"
Han Chuan's face turned red and he was unable to respond.
Another person in the seat stood up and asked: "General Fang is really powerful with his sharp words. However, the issue of the title of marquis is of great importance. General Fang wants to follow the woman's advice and lobby the six ministries and everyone in the hall. How can he
Isn’t it ridiculous?”
This man's name is Song Tianqiu, a scholar who is studying in Beijing and preparing to take the exam. He is a talented person and has written some poems, which are highly praised. He also writes elegant articles. He is quite famous among the scholars in Beijing. Among the scholars,
This person has the highest status, so the Sixth Department selected him.
"The masters of the six departments are talented people in the country and the country, with eyes as clear as candlelight. Who can convince you? The scholar of the Song Dynasty talked about women in many derogatory words. Don't you know that the current queen is also a woman, but she has a mother?
The virtue of honoring the world. At that time, Marquis Yi was also a woman, but he was capable of killing enemies and guarding the border. Even your body and skin were born of a woman. Scholar Song also dared to ridicule a woman?"
Song Tianqiu was silent.
Suddenly I heard another person say:
"The Confucian principle is that kings, kings, ministers, fathers, sons, sons, I wonder what General Fang thinks?"
Fang Yun took a look and recognized it was Ruan Wenhao, a Confucian scholar in the Imperial Academy.
"The Confucian classics are passed down from generation to generation for their own reasons."
A smile appeared on Ruan Wenhao's face: "Well said! If General Fang is granted the title of Marquis, then there will be three members of the Fang family, father and son, who will be granted the title of Marquis. At that time, I don't know how General Fang and Sifang Marquis will deal with each other? Will they be equals or equals?
Bowing and saluting? If they are equals, how should father and son behave? If bowing and saluting like this, where does the etiquette of the court fit in?"
Fang Yun heard the words and said with a smile: "The king is the guide for his ministers, and he is the king's minister when he goes out, so he should be on an equal footing; the father is the guide for his son, and he is the father and son when he comes in, so he should bow down and salute. The gentleman is also a Confucian scholar in the Hanlin Academy, but he sticks to the views of a child.
It’s not enough to talk to a noble scholar.”
Ruan Wenhao was suddenly speechless.
Suddenly another Confucian scholar stood up and said loudly: "What General Fang said is completely arrogant and crooked. There is no need to say it again." - General Fang said that he was already a human being because of his talents.
As we all know, since ancient times, the talents of the country and the country have all been talented in the world. General Fang was born in a school, and he even won the first place in the Lantern Festival Literary Examination. I would like to ask, which classic has General Fang compiled? And which classics are he going to use?
Do you want to use your classics to help the world?"
Fang Yun followed the sound and recognized Su Lan. Confucian classics have been handed down, and different people have interpreted them in different schools. From the great Confucians of the Middle Ages, to the great Confucians of the Yin and Shang dynasties, to the great Confucians of the Zhou Dynasty, all
There are all kinds of classics in the world like stars. Any school of governance has its advantages and disadvantages. Su Lan wants to knock him down theoretically.
Fang Yun said: "Looking for chapters and excerpts, quoting scriptures, this is the work of rotten Confucians, how can we govern the country? Moreover, Fang Yun, who has read scriptures, has never heard of the three ancient emperors, the ancient five emperors, these holy emperors who shocked the past and the present.
What kind of classics have you compiled? Even if the Taizu of this dynasty started out in the grass and had no knowledge of poetry and articles, he still made a plan to separate the civil and military affairs and benefit the world. - Sir, could it be that you want me to imitate those who cling to the classics?
Is the scholar who has acquired the form but not the spirit, trapped in prison, stuck with a pen and inkstone, and only knows how to count the black and white, and dance with writing and ink?"
Su Lan was immediately speechless.
Fang Yun answered fluently and talked so eloquently that everyone couldn't help but lose their countenance.
The six ministers of military affairs, punishment, rituals, work, households, and officials in the hall could not help but look strange and secretly admired.
"This son is only sixteen or seventeen years old. At such a young age, he can lead troops and gallop around. But his Confucian knowledge and lip-reading skills are not bad at all. Everyone present is not familiar with the classics and knows the classics well.
I didn’t expect that he, a young man with a weak crown, would be turned into a pale face when he was criticized!”
Yuan Yuanjian, Minister of the Ministry of War, thought to himself. This is not the first time he has met Fang Yun. However, this is the first time that he has truly understood how extraordinary this young man is.
"Literally capable of speaking well, military capable of supporting the country. What's even more rare is that he is still young and has unlimited potential. Although he is a little bit crazy based on his talent, it is impossible to say that he will be able to do what he said. In the future, the imperial court will have another Jiangshan Sheji
He is such a talented person. It would be a pity to suppress him like this."
Li Juzheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, his eyes flashed and he nodded secretly in his heart. The more he looked at this young man, the happier he became.
"With the power of one person, he can distinguish a group of Confucian scholars. His words actually contain the art of war, which focuses on attacking. This man is gifted with talent. If he becomes an official, there will be one more Confucian scholar in the court. Is it possible, but
Joined the military."
The Minister of Civil Affairs said sadly.
The Minister of Industry and the Ministry of Household all nodded, obviously very satisfied with Fang Yun. After this debate, the results of the six ministries' deliberations should be announced.
Only Zhang Gongqi, the Minister of Rites, felt strange. He glanced at the former Minister of Rites, Zhu Junli, with mixed feelings in his heart.
What the Ministry of Rites represents is actually a lineage of old people who quote scriptures from all over the world and are poor at learning the scriptures. If Fang Yun wins, it means the Ministry of Rites loses. The feeling is naturally not good. Especially, Zhu Junli is still the previous Minister of Rites.
"It seems that Fang Yun's decision to make a marquis is irresistible. At least, the six tribes can't stop him. From now on, we can only see the intentions of Sangong, Wu Mu and the Human Emperor.
.”
Zhang Gongqi thought in his heart that he already knew the conclusion of this six-part discussion.
Just when the six ministers in the hall nodded secretly, one of the people in the hall became anxious.
"That's enough!" A figure suddenly stood up from his seat and looked at Fang Yun angrily. It turned out to be Pingdinghou Yang Xing:
"Fang Yun, no matter how eloquent you are, you will never be able to become a marquis today!..."
