Yuan Ang has always been very smart, and he is an unparalleled talker who can talk the dead into life.●⌒
When he saw Zhou Yafu's reaction, he immediately knew what he should do.
The most important thing in Zhou Yafu's life was Emperor Taizong's last order. Therefore, starting from this aspect would definitely catch Zhou Yafu's nose and make him obedient.
"Prime Minister..." Yuan An said with a smile: "Please forgive me for being frank, it is really unwise for you to be trying to fight with His Majesty like this!"
"Emperor Taizong Xiaowen entrusted him to the prime minister before his death, Emperor Renzong Xiaojing also entrusted him to the prime minister. The two generations of emperors entrusted the country, the country, and the safety of the young master to the prime minister. However, the prime minister now ignores political affairs in order to fight with His Majesty. Emperor Xiaowen, Emperor Xiaojing
There are spirits underground, maybe there will be some uneasiness?"
Zhou Yafu was finally moved, but for a while, he still couldn't convince himself.
Yuan Ang observed the words and immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Besides, if the Prime Minister ignores government affairs, depending on your Majesty's temper, I am afraid that someone else will be used to manage the government. If he is a virtuous person, the Prime Minister will have nothing to worry about, but if he is someone like Zhao Gao and Li Si,
Isn’t the Prime Minister the guilty official of the Han Dynasty?”
"The emperor is young and has many ideas. As the prime minister, the prime minister should assist, correct, and help the emperor to take the right path!"
The ice on Zhou Yafu's face finally melted away. He bowed to Yuan Ang sternly and said, "Thank you for your advice, Mr. Yuan. Otherwise, someone might go astray without even realizing it!"
For Zhou Yafu, assisting the emperor and rectifying the world was his mission.
Moreover, when I think about it now, it seems that when the emperor made arrangements for Yao Ren, he used the word "test" and said "crossing the river by feeling the stones."
In other words, in fact, the emperor is just young and wants to try.
This is also the deep-rooted blood inheritance of Emperor Liu.
For example, when the late emperor came to the throne, he couldn't wait to cut down the feudal vassals. Eventually, Wu and Chu rebelled, Qi and Lu were unstable, and Yan and Zhao were in turmoil.
As for the late emperor when he was young...
Zhou Yafu thought for a while, and seemed to be more lively and playful than before...
"That's all, even as Liu Shichen, I have to adapt..." Zhou Yafu thought in his heart, and the knots caused by the affair finally disappeared.
Yuan An, however, stared at Zhou Yafu with piercing eyes and said: "Now that the Prime Minister has figured it out, he is going to go to the palace overnight to ask for an audience with the Empress Dowager! The ministers in the court asked the Prime Minister to contact her!"
Zhou Yafu nodded.
As the prime minister, Zhou Yafu had the power to call all the nine ministers and officials of more than a thousand stones from each yamen to his prime minister's house for a meeting.
Moreover, if the Eastern Palace forced the emperor to exclude Confucianism or even destroy Confucianism, as the prime minister, Zhou Yafu could refuse to countersign the edict, thereby making it lose its legal validity.
Of course, if something like that really happened, it would not be impossible for Donggong to change his phase in anger.
only……
If that's really the case...
The political reputation of the East Palace has been completely destroyed!
Although the Han Dynasty implemented a two-gong system, under the policy of governing the world with filial piety, the East Palace held the power to check and balance the emperor of Weiyang Palace.
However, since Empress Lu, there has never been a precedent for the East Palace to interfere in politics - when Bo Zhao, the Marquis of Zhi, was forced to commit suicide, Queen Mother Bo, who was in charge of the East Palace at that time, never said a word.
Empress Dowager Bo's brother died, and she did not interfere. Now, if the East Palace dares to directly intervene in politics, I am afraid that it will immediately cause a backlash from the entire class of veterans, ministers, and princes - killing the Lu family, but the political achievements of the class of veterans, princes, ministers, and ministers
, anyone who wants to subvert this political achievement will face counterattack from the entire class.
There are also princes and kings in various places who will not tolerate another Lu queen to kill Liu's descendants.
Therefore, Zhou Yafu had no fear at all.
Of course, if you can make peace with the East Palace, it's best to make peace with them.
Zhou Yafu did not want to see an unprecedented political disaster.
…………………………
At the same time, representatives of various Confucian factions in Chang'an gathered in another residence in Shang Guanli.
Most of the participants were young Confucian sects, and of course, there were also some giant-level Ph.D.
But, generally speaking, most of them are the younger generation.
Yan Yi sat on the left side and told the question that Emperor Tiantian asked him to tell.
After everyone listened, they all bowed their heads in deep thought.
Jia Yi and Jia Changsha's famous article "On Passing the Qin Dynasty" is a must-read article for every young person who is interested in officialdom.
Almost no one present is familiar with "On the Passage of Qin".
Many people can even recite it backwards and forwards.
However, the emperor's question was quite tricky, even heart-wrenching!
Many people frowned.
We are all smart people. After hearing this question, it didn't take long for us to understand what the emperor meant.
This question is not about Confucianism’s views on the theory of Guo Qin, but rather about Confucianism: Between positions, principles, ideas and me, which one do you choose?
To be more clear, the core of this problem is that the emperor wants to know whether Confucianism is willing to adjust its ideas according to his wishes!
But it only took a moment for many people to make a decision.
They threw away their moral integrity without hesitation!
Confucianism has always been the fastest among all the scholars to throw away moral integrity.
I think back then, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius traveled around the world, didn’t he just want to be reused and govern a country?
In the next few hundred years, the Confucian skin could circle the earth!
From Confucius, to Zixia, to Mencius, and then to Xunzi and even Xunzi’s disciple Li Si.
Confucianism is actually a school of thought that has been constantly submitting to the rulers.
Up to now, Confucianism has been divided into countless factions with almost completely opposite ideas.
For example, the ideological theories of the Gongyang School and the Guliang School are simply the difference between water and fire!
Therefore, among hundreds of schools of thought, Confucianism is actually the most dynamic and promising school of thought.
Because they can adjust their theories to suit the needs of the rulers at any time.
From this aspect, Confucianism is actually a school of realism. What it emphasizes is adoption of doctrines. If something can help it develop and grow, he will not mind absorbing it.
So, everyone picked up the pen and ink and started swaying it on the bamboo slips.
Texts that can be directly presented to the emperor are worthy of everyone's efforts!
About an hour later, the last person put down the pen and ink in his hand, and then everyone lined up and took their answers. They respectfully presented them in front of one person and said: "Student so-and-so, please correct me!"
This person, whose surname is Zhao Mingwan, is a disciple of Duke Shen.
The most important thing is that he was also one of the lecturers at Weiyang Palace hired by the late emperor.
He can be regarded as the teacher of today's emperor, and he is also the person who should know the nature of today's emperor best among everyone present.
Of course, some people took their own articles and showed them to Yan Yi to ask for his advice.
However, there are more people on Zhao Wan's side. Everyone's expectations are also higher.
After all, Zhao Wan had been a teacher to the emperor and taught him how to read and write. Moreover, Zhao Wan, who came from a well-known family, was undoubtedly more trustworthy than Yan Yi, a yellow-haired boy.
But Zhao Wan was a little absent-minded and a little impatient.
During this turmoil, the Lu Ru sect he belonged to was literally beaten into pig brains.
It’s just criticism from outsiders, even within Confucianism, they actually reject the Lu-Ru lineage!
His junior brother Wang Zang was originally qualified to participate in this meeting, but as a result, he was not even notified!
If he had not taught the emperor, I am afraid that he would not be qualified to attend the meeting.
However, although she felt unhappy, Zhao Wan still understood the importance.
This difficulty needs to be faced by the entire Confucian community together.
Therefore, he was patient and tried not to have an attack. Instead, he showed a smile and read through the pages one by one.
But it’s okay if you don’t look at it. When you look at it, Zhao Wan’s lungs almost explode with anger!
The Emperor's question is about the Prince of Qin's infant. It was only about sixty years ago. Many information and rumors are readily available. Moreover, there are still old people who survived that period.
However, as for the specific answer, it is the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.
All kinds of weird answers came out.
This made Zhao Wan's insides feel like they were on fire.
Lu Ru is the staunchest fundamentalist and the stronghold of the Jingtian system and the Chonggu sect.
In Lu Ru's view, the Zhou system is the most perfect system.
However, the views of other Confucian factions are varied.
Some even completely deviate from Confucius' theory.
"Playing the piano randomly!" Zhao Wan was finally angered by an article written by a disciple of Mencius.
"Father and son, king and minister, do you still need to be superior and inferior?" Zhao Wan held the bamboo slip. The grievance and anger he had felt over the past few days were finally ignited by the words on the bamboo slip, and then he exploded: "The king is the king.
, The minister is the minister, if the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, it is nonsense that the people value the king over the king!"
Perhaps when future generations mention Confucianism, Confucius and Mencius have always been independent of each other.
But today, there is a big difference between the Confucianism of Mencius and Confucius.
Moreover, Mencius's thoughts, like those of Mohism, are rejected by the mainstream and are probably a niche and unpopular one.
Although the Han Dynasty court recognized Mencius's status as a sage, he even issued an edict allowing him to honor Mencius.
But so far, Mencius's works have not been officially recognized as scriptures.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, he once ranked the world's learning.
"Poems", "Books", "The Classic of Filial Piety" and "The Tao Te Ching" are among the most top-level studies, and are treated like a doctor of Confucian classics.
"Mencius" is a biography doctor, which is not popular.
The emperor of the Liu family also looked down on Mencius' knowledge, and the nobles regarded him as a scourge, even more cautious than the Mohist system.
After all, the people are more important than the king. How can such rebellious and unethical remarks be respected?
To be honest, Emperor Liu was already very tolerant by not killing all Mencius and his disciples and destroying all writings about Mencius.
Within Confucianism, due to some long-standing grievances, the Lu-Confucian lineage has always been hostile to Mencius.
Because the vast majority of Lu Ru are landlords, wealthy businessmen and bureaucrats.
If you want them to admit that the people are above their own heads, then you might as well kill them with a knife!
However, in terms of ideology, no one will admit defeat and no one will give in.
What's more, facing an old enemy?
The descendant of Mencius faced Zhao Wan's anger without fear and said calmly: "We have different ways and we don't want to conspire with each other. I originally thought that Zhao Jun was once a teacher of the emperor. The emperor once said: Killing my people is like hurting my arm."
, In this case, Zhao Jundang is different from other Lu Ru, I can’t think of it..."
The man shook his head and said: "They are like a raccoon dog!"
Nowadays, those who receive the greatest encouragement and encouragement from the Jiazi Edict of the Emperor of Heaven are actually the various branches of Mencius' lineage.
Many people smelled something in the Jiazi Edict that made them excited.
Putting the people first is the core of Mencius’ thoughts.
This man was no exception, so after hearing Jiazi's edict, he immediately ran to Chang'an excitedly, wanting to express his ambition.
It's a pity that he doesn't have many friends in Chang'an. What's more troublesome is that he has a lot of enemies.
Not only was the general public opinion hostile to him, but even within Confucianism, he was regarded as a scourge.
If it weren't for the Lu Rus who broke into such a big trap this time, he wouldn't even be able to appear here.
He looked back at the other Confucian colleagues in the room, and found that they were all looking at him strangely, and his heart felt cold.
"After all, there is still no place for me to use my skills!" He thought in his heart: "Maybe I should return to my hometown to teach my children and teach my disciples, instead of coming to Chang'an to wade in this muddy water!"
He took part in the examination, but unfortunately, he didn't even pass the first round...
He doesn't think that his knowledge and knowledge can't even pass the first round.
"It should be the name of the Mencius faction that I wrote on the paper that made the examiner directly erase me..." This is very possible.
The Han Dynasty regime strictly guarded Mencius' thoughts. Except for Emperor Taizong Xiaowen who appointed a doctor of biography who specialized in "Mencius" during his lifetime, scholars from the Mencius line had never had any other appointments in the Han Dynasty.
During the late emperor's reign, he even refused to give him a doctorate in biography...
So, he picked up his bamboo slips and said with some frustration: "Since you don't want to be with me, I won't disturb your interest, and I will say goodbye. We will never see you again!"
After saying that, he took his luggage and walked out.
But as soon as he walked out of the door, he felt as if someone was chasing him.
He looked back and saw the giant in today's gathering, the confidant of the emperor and the hope of Confucianism. Yan Yi ran forward panting, stopped him, and said: "Sir, please stay!"
Yan Yi took a breath, bowed and said, "May I ask your surname, sir?"
"I don't dare, it's just Lin Xun..." The man who called himself Lin Xun thought for a while and solemnly said to Yan Yi: "The seventh generation successor of Simengxue!"
The so-called Simeng refers to Mencius and his mentor Mr. Zisi.
It is generally believed in the world that Mencius’ thoughts are inherited from Zisi, while Zisi’s thoughts come from Confucius.
Of course, Lu Ru firmly refused to admit it.
Yan Yi smiled and said to Lin Xun: "I, Yan Yi, dare to call you senior brother!"
Lin Xun was a little in disbelief when he heard this.
Are there any Confucian giants in this world who are willing to communicate with the Simeng faction on an equal footing or even show respect?
But Yan Yi's expression was very solemn. He bowed and said: "I wonder, senior brother, would you like to see the masterpiece differently?" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
