The 950th chapter of the ambition of the ram school (1)
In fact, many things are not things that the emperor can handle simply by wishful thinking.
Just like this time.
When the Huben Guard's cavalry blocked the road in and out of Hong Guyuan.
Soon, someone will know.
Then, professors and students in Taixue also heard about it.
Of course, many people don’t know the truth and have never been there.
When listening to the wind is like rain, most people don't know what is going on there.
We can only vaguely guess and speculate.
However, it cannot be hidden from the higher-ups.
Especially those giants with countless students and connections.
"I have long said that those powerful merchants are seeking their own death and extermination from the world..." After hearing about this incident, Dong Zhongshu just sneered lightly and made his own evaluation.
The news about Hong Guyuan was except for the emperor, who was hiding in the palace, and Jiu Qing, who was held back by official documents and slips.
Who else could I hide it from?
The reason why no one dares to prick this pustule.
But everyone is worried and worried.
More importantly, even Confucians are actually afraid!
Can you not be afraid?
Anyone who is not blind can basically see clearly the things we do today.
This is a king who is deeply fascinated by the art of instruments.
It seems that, in his eyes, equipment represents the future.
I rashly popped the pustule.
For Confucians, the gains outweigh the losses.
Because that means having to confront the Emperor head-on.
Although Confucianism can definitely surpass the emperor on this issue.
But apart from letting the emperor slap him in the mouth and then keep quiet for a few years, what effect does that have?
Confucianism, on the other hand, cannot be so willful now.
Offending the emperor is a small matter, but it is not as big a matter as an official's.
Back then, Mr. Zixia was very good at what he said. Learning and excellence lead to officialdom.
Everyone studies not only to become officials and express their ambitions, but also to let their disciples and disciples become officials and express their ambitions.
All factions of Confucianism understand this very clearly.
Moreover, Confucianism is not in a hurry at all.
Their disciples, power, and momentum are growing day by day.
Especially as the examinations continue to proceed year after year, the Confucians are now convinced that by relying on the examinations, they can achieve the final victory by relying on their numerical advantage.
In this case, Confucianism certainly knows how to hide one's strength and bide one's time.
Even if some people made some noise, they were suppressed by everyone.
Gaoyang wine, Tu's joke and the story of Emperor Gao catching a Confucian scholar peeing in his hat, no one in the Confucian family wanted to try it again.
However, being indifferent does not mean that Confucians are inactive.
On the contrary, they are always ready to make a difference.
"Qin Shihuang's method of measuring instruments is not completely undesirable..." Dong Zhongshu looked at his disciples, talked eloquently, and did ideological work and brainwashing work: "The Spring and Autumn Period has paid attention to me, and the sages' small words and great righteousness can be used for themselves.
Only by advancing with the times can you become a gentleman!"
Dong Zhongshu cast his eyes towards the place where Mo Yuan was and said: "When Master used his pen to sharpen the Spring and Autumn Period to unite the heavens, we should also inherit Master's teachings and respect the teachings of our ancestors!"
Dong Zhongshu now has an ambition.
This ambition was buried deep in his heart, and only the two or three closest and most trusted disciples knew about it.
The rest, even his son, doesn't know.
This ambition is to swallow ink!
Can Confucianism annex Mohism?
It seems impossible.
In fact, it would not have been possible during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
But, today, there is already a chance.
The Mohist school withered, and compared with Confucianism, its talents were not even one ten thousandth.
Even if they recover now, they can only huddle in Moyuan in Shanglinyuan. With the support of the emperor, they can move cautiously in the area around Shanglinyuan.
Except for Hangu Pass to the east, there may not be a single Mohist for a thousand miles.
The next five years will be a period of weakness for the Mohist family.
If you can take advantage of this opportunity, complete the penetration.
In the future, it may not be possible to annex the Mohist family without a bloody battle.
But, I want to do this.
Dong Zhongshu knew very well that Confucianism, especially his faction, also had to adjust itself, avoid and make concessions.
"Instrument, movement..." Dong Zhongshu recited these two words in his heart.
Four years ago, whenever Dong Zhongshu thought of these two words, he would automatically think of "mechanical decoration" and "strange skills and tricks".
However, today, four years later, especially with the increase of Dong Zhongshu's own vision and experience.
His attitude has changed 180 degrees.
Especially when he was teaching at Taixue, Dong Zhongshu read most of the Taixue book collection.
The more the truth is argued, the clearer it becomes, and the more books there are, the clearer the principles become.
Of course, more importantly, Dong Zhongshu is a very smart, visionary and insightful person.
And, in fact, someone whom the Gong Yang faction admires and admires.
Not Confucius at all.
Confucius is just a spiritual idol and a clay sculpture sign.
The thoughts of the Gongyang School can be traced back to their roots, and the final source is named Zixia.
Although Mr. Zixia was a Confucian scholar, his thoughts had already transcended the category of Confucian scholars.
Dong Zhongshu, after studying several surviving manuscripts of Mr. Zixia, no longer had such a strong resistance to machinery and equipment.
"Hundred workers live in their workplaces to achieve their words, and a gentleman learns his way!" After silently reciting this sentence left by Mr. Xia on a manuscript, Dong Zhongshu's attitude and mind became more determined.
"I don't know what my senior brother's attitude is?" Dong Zhongshu thought and muttered in his heart.
But it is certain that senior brother Hu Wusheng must have some ideas.
Just seeing that he also started the trend of "Spring and Autumn Notes on Me", we already know that he is also thinking about this, although his target is not necessarily Mohism, but may also be Legalism.
…………………………………………
A hundred steps away from Dong Zhongshu's quiet room is the place where Hu Wusheng taught.
Hu Wusheng liked to take his students to give lectures in the vast wilderness.
Today is no exception.
He sat on a futon, facing his disciples and the crowd, and preached in a deep voice: "...therefore the sages said: A gentleman knows his fate day by day, and never forgets what he can do every month. He is said to be eager to learn...
"
A brief explanation of this has been completed.
The listeners were all fascinated and admired, even the Legalists and Huang-Lao sect scholars among the onlookers.
In fact, in the Han Dynasty, the Gongyang faction was first strong and prosperous.
Not because of how strong He is.
It's because there is the greatest common denominator between the Gongyang sect and the various schools of thought.
They even have the greatest common denominator with the Mohists, and in history, the founders of Gongyang School have tried to communicate, interpret, and harmonize with Mo Zhai.
This story was recorded in the Mohist classic "Mozi. Plowing Pillars". Although, the final result was just like the article "Farewell, Situ Denglei" written by Emperor Taizu of later generations, breaking off relations with Emperor Mi.
The negotiation between Yang's ancestors and Mo Zhai failed and they were kicked out of the house.
Other Confucian sects may be embarrassed when it comes to weapons, but not Gongyang.
When Mr. Zixia was writing about the Spring and Autumn Period, he once warned his disciples: Even if the path is small, there must be some who can appreciate it.
If you believe that any matter has merit, don't rush to deny others, but should study hard.
Generations of disciples of Zixia learned it.
Thus, the Spring and Autumn Schools of Legalism and Confucianism were developed.
The Gongyang faction claims to be the most orthodox successor to Mr. Zixia.
After finishing this paragraph, Hu Wusheng put down the book in his hand.
As a result, everyone in the entire teaching venue craned their necks, waiting to watch the show.
In the entire Imperial College, Hu Wusheng’s classes were attended by the largest number of people.
Many times, there are often hundreds of people waiting to hear the lecture.
Among them, disciples of Legalists, Huang Laoxue, and even professors also came to watch.
Everyone came to watch, not because what Hu Wusheng said was so honest. Before Taixue, many people had never even heard of Hu Wusheng's name.
Where can I get the impression?
Everyone came to watch initially because of one thing.
Because Hu Wusheng has been persevering and focusing on commenting on the intellectual loopholes and errors of various factions in the world since the beginning of Taixue.
He impresses people with his witty language, profound knowledge, and undisputed ability to argue.
More importantly, the targets of his criticism were often factions within Confucianism.
It rarely affects other people.
Naturally, everyone likes to hear about the internal strife within Confucianism.
Little did he know that in such a subtle influence, many people's three views were corrected and influenced by him.
His knowledge gradually became known.
In Taixue, it even gradually became a prominent school.
Even the giants of Legalism and Huang-Lao School often come to listen to lectures.
As a long-standing habit, everyone knows that after Hu Wusheng finishes teaching his lesson, he will inevitably start to complain.
"Come on, come on, let's place your bets. Mr. Hu, who are you going to talk about today?" The aristocratic kid who had something to do, even opened the bet privately: "Gu Liang will pay one for one, Chu Shi will pay three for one, Lu Ru will pay two for one,
Hurry up……"
Immediately, several people nearby took out their money to place bets.
"Today, I want to talk to you about a certain talent, Lu Ru..." Hu Wusheng stood up and started talking.
In the crowd, a dozen Confucian scholars tensed up and felt a little pain in their faces after hearing this.
In the past six months, this bearded man’s favorite daily routine is to spray Ru Ru.
He constantly commented on the stereotypes and bad habits of the entire Lu-Ru faction and their tendency to stick to the past and not think about progress, and just want to enjoy the blessings based on the merits of their ancestors.
What's even more frightening is that he also quoted classics and said that students and teachers in the Lu and Ru departments would be embarrassed and had cancer.
However, after being slapped in the face for the first few times, the Lu and Confucians not only did not stay away, but instead sent people or came to listen in person every time Hu Wusheng gave a lecture.
This is not because Lu Ru is a jerk, although that is actually the case.
It's because Lu Ru and his family have understood and understood it clearly.
If you change, you will survive; if you don't change, you will perish.
How to change?
A wise person will of course know to find the person who attacks you the most. His criticism and words have the power to make you progress.
Anyway, when scholars copy books, it is not called copying at all.
Recently, Lu Ru's Qingzhuang sect in Chang'an just listened to Hu Wusheng's rants, and then turned around to sort out his words and language, then delete and modify them, change them, and make them his own.
At this moment, Confucianism is still the Chaoyang School full of vitality and power.
It may have many problems and many flaws.
However, it is indeed the faction that knows best about change and self-correction among all schools of thought.
If not, how could it be as strong and prosperous as it is today, and how could there be so many diverse schools and voices?
The other Legalists and Huang-Lao School onlookers were sitting on the ground, with a melon seed bench ready, waiting for Beard to refresh his three views.
"Today, what I want to talk about is the public funeral ceremony!" Hu Wusheng said, looking across the audience, he spoke slowly.
Suddenly, the crowd was buzzing with discussion!
Public holiday!
Perhaps most common people, and even many scholar-bureaucrats, have no impression of this person.
I thought they were just passers-by, A, B, C and D.
But at this moment, within Confucianism at this moment.
This name is tied to Lu Ru.
Today's Lu Ru's thoughts and behaviors can be found similar to this person.
Within the Lu-Ru faction, Gong Xiuyi is like Zixia to Gongyang, the true spiritual leader and patriarch.
It is no exaggeration to say that any comments about this person are likely to touch and hurt the sensitive nerves of the current Lu-Ru sect, especially the nerves of those die-hards who now feel that the whole world is targeting them! (To be continued.
