The first thousand two hundred and thirty-eight chapters heresy under the mainstream
The idea of escaping from the world and studying in seclusion is not something unfamiliar to the great Confucians of this era. To be precise, they often do this.
In addition, Fenggao is indeed a more prosperous place than these great scholars imagined. There are people shopping and people everywhere. This is indeed a grand scene of governance and prosperity, but it is obvious that this kind of place is not suitable for studying books.
Even though the place Jian Yong arranged for this group of people was a very secluded courtyard, when he went out and saw the crowds of people, even a great scholar's mood would be a little shaken.
It's no joke that they can't be prosperous and charming. Finding a secluded place to think and write while revising books is the most suitable for their mentality.
So Jian Yong gathered everyone together and said: "Fenggao is really not suitable for studying. We should go to Mount Tai to find a valley to hide from the world, recuperate, and stay there to study."
Naturally, all the great scholars agreed to this proposal. They didn't mind much about food and accommodation. Most of these people had once opened a piece of land and farmed their own land.
There is no problem living in the valley, so Jian Yong brought this group of people, as well as the best second and third disciples of this group of people, along with food, clothing, and guards, and more than a hundred people went there.
In a certain valley of Mount Tai, I retreated from the world to study books.
Jian Yong said that since it was going to be far away and remote, he should walk further in. Anyway, there were more than 20 elite sergeants escorting him, so it was not a problem at all, so he walked and walked, and in the end, a group of people couldn't tell the direction.
Only then did I find that remote valley.
Zang Ba and others found this valley after searching for a long time in Mount Tai, and the place is extremely remote. Most people would not be able to find it without someone to guide them. Likewise, if most people want to go out without someone to guide them, they will probably feed the tigers.
There is no doubt that this place is very suitable for seclusion, especially after more than twenty sergeants blocked the entrance of the valley and there was no longer any danger. After all the food and drink supplies in the valley were arranged, all the great scholars began to meticulously compile books.
Even after living in such a beautiful place for half a year, I found that my thoughts were flowing like a fountain, and some of the great scholars were no longer interested in leaving the mountain, especially those like Wang Lie who had no children, no worries, and just liked to study and cultivate their morals.
.
Staying in such deep mountains and old forests, without worrying about the cost of food and drink, without mundane things touching oneself, with an extremely peaceful mind, reading the classics of the sages and recalling his own insights, for Wang Lie, there is nothing
Nothing made him happier than this.
Of course, when they know that their own Confucianism is about to be beaten to death by hundreds of schools of thought, there will be very few people who can still maintain this mentality.
"Why did Duke Kang Cheng go to the depths of Mount Tai to study?" A Confucian scholar looked at the student Zheng Xuan in front of him with a crazy expression.
"May I ask, senior brother, why do you want to see the teacher?" Zheng Xuan's disciple asked calmly, with a calm demeanor.
"Prince, where are Guan Shi and the others?" The scholar immediately asked Wang Lie, Guan Ning and others, "Where are Pang Gong and the others?"
By the way, Pang Degong is a very strange person. He had never planned to leave Jingzhou for Pang Tong. However, when the oracle bone inscriptions came out and called on the world's great scholars to identify them, Pang Degong ran to Mount Tai without hesitation, not worrying about being detained at all.
Sima Hui of Jingxiang also came with him. In short, the digging of oracle bone inscriptions and the exploration of the foundations of hundreds of schools of thought before the Yi, as well as the origin of the dictionary, really wiped out all the famous Confucianists in the world. This is indeed very important for Confucianism.
Great event!
"They're all gone. The teacher felt that Fenggao was too noisy, so he went to the depths of Mount Tai a few days ago to study in escapism. My two senior brothers also followed him." Wang Jing, a disciple of Zheng Xuan, looked at this in confusion.
The Confucian scholar was already a little panicked.
"It's over!" The scholar smiled bitterly. It's not that the Confucian collective reflex arc was too long. They might not have discovered the secrets in Xu Zijiang's list at first, but how could they not have noticed it if the time went a little longer, and it turned out to be too late!
Zheng Xuan's students, who have been studying behind closed doors, naturally don't know about the list of civil servants that is so popular all over the world. To be precise, Chen Xi has no intention of going to the Taishan area to know about this list prematurely.
Fortunately, at this time, the speed of information dissemination and the channels for dissemination were very limited. Officials reached out to cut it off, and not a single scholar in Taishan knew about it.
Seeing that Zheng Xuan's students looked ignorant, the scholar quickly told Zheng Xuan's students the cause and effect of the whole incident, "We need to quickly find someone to take charge of the overall situation."
"Well, if Qu Hanmou can accomplish this, I, as a Confucian, don't even say taking one step back. Even if I take three steps back, what can I do if I retreat to the early Han Dynasty?" Wang Jing was not surprised after hearing this.
"Why do you think so? This matter is no longer a matter of one person, Qu Han, but it has become a matter of hundreds of schools of thought against my Confucian school!" Jiao Xian scolded.
"Is there anything wrong with hundreds of schools of thought correcting mistakes for my Confucian school?" Wang Jing replied with a smile, "Since you know your mistakes, why don't you correct them? Since you have made mistakes, why can't they be pointed out? It's just merit and demerit, so what's the point of hiding it?
"
There is one sentence that Wang Jing did not say, that is, Confucianism is wrong, but it is also meritorious. At least Confucianism establishes virtue, and has not made unforgivable mistakes during the three hundred years of only respecting Confucianism. In this case, how can it be a hundred schools of thought?
All that can be defeated in a short period of time is nothing more than the changing of the wind and water.
"Why are you so stupid? Do you want those clay legs to step on our heads?" At this time, some Confucian scholars had already seen through the hidden meaning of the list, which was to promote such lowly industries as agriculture, industry and commerce!
Unlike Baijia who is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, after all Baijia knows very well that if he doesn't fight and continues like this, sooner or later his thoughts will be wiped out!
The Yin-Yang School has become a matter of looking at Feng Shui, looking for dragons and digging holes, and digging ancestral graves; the concepts of infinity and molecules of the famous masters have all become the sophistry of peddlers; the Mohist school of universal love but non-aggression, mechanical theory, and mathematical research have all become the lowly lower class.
Profession……
Okay, since we are all inferior except for you Confucians who are human beings, then I don’t care what you Confucians do. Instead of waiting until one day all the ideas represented by our hundreds of schools of thought become false, and the inheritors of our hundreds of schools of thought will be replaced by you.
If Confucianism has become a lowly profession, it is better to fight now!
"Are farmers, industrialists and merchants weak?" Wang Jingyi asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Isn't it?" The Confucian scholar couldn't care less at this time.
"No wonder we Confucians are being criticized by hundreds of schools of thought. I think so." Wang Jing turned and walked away, "I am talking to you first as a farmer. After supporting myself, I studied with my teacher and became a scholar.
, Scholars come from agriculture, industry, and commerce. The sages taught according to their aptitude and became scholars. What is the call from heaven?"
