The first thousand two hundred and eleventh section Confucian counterattack (1)
When Hua Yuan walked off the stage, eyes from all directions were focused on him.
At this moment, he can already be called the enemy of the entire world.
but……
For Legalists, it is the norm and daily life to be the enemy of the whole world.
Just as Shang Jun pushed for reforms despite the attacks of the old interest groups and nobles of the entire Qin State, Wu Qi in Chu State took the risk of being killed at any time and decisively implemented reforms.
If a true Legalist minister has too few enemies and too little opposition.
That actually proves that he didn't hit the key point.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Legalism has been the destroyer of the old order and the founder of the new order.
From Shang Jun to Han Feizi, Legalists were not only changing other people's laws, but also changing their own laws.
Therefore, when Hua Yuan returned to his position, he was immediately welcomed as a hero.
Even several giants from the Huang Lao School cast appreciative glances.
For the Huang Lao faction, of course they were opposed to what Hua Yuan said.
But this does not prevent them from appreciating the actions of Hua Yuan and Legalism.
Being the enemy of the world requires courage and even more strength.
People with courage and strength will naturally be respected.
On the other hand, the giants of several major schools within Confucianism all had blue and purple faces at the moment.
"These bastards from Legalism..." Even Dong Zhongshu, who had always cultivated himself very well, couldn't help but swear at this moment.
As for Hu Wusheng, although he was not as manic as Dong Zhongshu, the look on his face was not very good either.
At this moment, the words spoken by Fang Caiyuan were echoing in the minds of Dong Zhongshu and Hu Wusheng.
Mainly because of the sentence "If there is no one way to govern the world, the country will not have to follow the ancients", which hurt them very much.
As for the craftsman hierarchy, it has become less scary.
The reason is very simple. The emperor has already approved it, and the court council has also passed the policy of allowing craftsmen to serve as officials.
Even if Legalism does not mention this matter, sooner or later, Confucianism will have to mention it due to circumstances.
Catering to those in power is the genius of Confucianism.
Moreover, Confucianism does not actually discriminate against craftsmen now. At least, Confucianism does not discriminate against carpenters, blacksmiths, and those engaged in agriculture-related craftsmen.
Discriminating against craftsmen is something that at least the current Gongyang faction will not do.
Both Dong Zhongshu and Hu Wusheng had many disciples who were born as children of craftsmen.
But those words were like a sharp sword, piercing deeply into the hearts of both of them.
Among Confucians, except for the Xunzi school, all other schools worship the ancients.
The rule of three generations, three kings and five emperors, is their spiritual belief and support.
When the Legalists shouted this sentence to declare war on Shang Jun's reform, they were actually declaring war on Confucianism.
"If you want to fight, I will fight!" Confucian scholars of the Gongyang Sect have always been men with clear grudges. No one can ever expect to be forgiven after slapping them!
Of course, limited by rules, Confucianism now has little to do against Legalism.
"When we reach the stage of enlightenment and discussion, we will make it impossible for these cruel officials to come to power!" Dong Zhongshu thought and planned in his heart.
Who are Confucians afraid of when it comes to talking nonsense?
To be honest, this is the talent and expertise of Confucian scholars!
However, while elders can think this way, young people may not.
Especially the young people of the Gongyang faction are all hot-blooded and upright people.
"With great righteousness in the Spring and Autumn Period, how can we allow the Legalists to be in chaos!" Lu Bushu, Dong Zhongshu's favorite disciple, clenched his fists and thought to himself, and then he started discussing privately with several of his junior disciples.
"How can we, under the great righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, endure the chaos of the Legalists?" The brothers and sisters were naturally filled with righteous indignation.
Gongyang School has two cores.
One is righteousness, and the other is Yixia.
The great meaning is the subtle meaning of the Spring and Autumn Period, which originates from words and reaches the soul.
Whether it is Dong Zhongshu or Hu Wusheng, when educating their disciples, they dissect the words in "Gongyang Zhuan" word by word, and explain why Confucius and the sages wrote and recorded in this way.
In this way, the disciples and disciples can be close to Confucius and the sages physically and mentally.
This is also a characteristic of Confucianism.
Confucianism pursues the ideal of everyone following Yao and Shun. Although this is definitely impossible to achieve, it is because of this that it has charm.
The reason is very simple, if it is not possible for everyone to do justice to Yao and Shun.
Then, we can only let those who are close to Yao and Shun, for example, pure, upright and kind-hearted, lead those ignorant people to move towards their ideals.
As for Yixia, it is easier to understand.
It is also a concept shared by hundreds of schools of thought.
In the traditional Chinese world view, there are only two countries in the world.
The first one is the Holy King Linxuan, the kingly enlightened China.
It is called Xia because of its great etiquette, and it is called Huaxia because of the beauty of its uniforms.
The second one is a barbaric and ignorant barbarian beast that eats hair and drinks blood and walks on two legs.
This is why Guan Zhong said: The Chinese are intimate and cannot be abandoned; the Yi, Di and jackals cannot be disgusted!
Confucius also enlightened the sect and said: The kings of Yi and Di are not as good as the death of all Xia.
Please note here that the so-called distinction between Yi and Xia in China has never been a blood relationship concept, let alone an ethnic concept, but a cultural concept.
The standard is to use Chinese etiquette, systems, and characters.
If you use it, it will be summer; if you don't use it, you will be barbarian.
The Gongyang faction is more radical than everyone else in this aspect.
Today, the most primitive nationalism has actually quietly taken root in Gongyang's thinking.
Therefore, the Gongyang faction has become the most hawkish and main fighting faction among the hundreds of schools of thought.
For them, they believe that they have read the subtle words and righteousness of Confucius and the sages, and have already shouldered the mission of clearing the world and making China a heavenly country again.
Among the young scholars of the Gongyang School, there are even radicals who believe that only dead Huns are good Huns.
When reflected in academic debates, this radical sentiment became particularly high.
The Gongyang sect, together with the Guliang sect and the Zuo school, were all regarded as heretics.
How can we tolerate the unscrupulousness of Legalism?
Therefore, after Lu Bushu discussed with his brothers for a while, they immediately reached a consensus: the Legalists must not be allowed to be arrogant, and they must be given some color!
And how to give Legalism a little color?
Of course, it is an academic denial of the absurd theory and fallacy of the Legalists' so-called "if there is no way to govern the world, the country will not need to follow the ancients"!
With this idea in mind, Dong Zhongshu's eldest disciple, who had been teaching students at Lutai Academy in Guangchuan, Yin Zhong, who presided over Lutai Academy, strode onto the podium.
As usual, after saluting the emperor, the princes, princes, and guests, Yin Zhong spoke into the microphone and said the first sentence: "The Spring and Autumn Kaiming Zongyi begins with: the first year, spring, the first month of the king's reign!"

I have some personal matters today. I went out to buy clothes, go shopping, and do some activities, so the update will be a little late, or maybe a little less.
But I will definitely make up for it tomorrow! (~^~)
