Nine hundred and fiftieth chapters Huang Laopai's reaction
When night fell, Liu Che quietly drove out of Beique in a carriage and headed for Princess Guantao's residence in Qili.
Sitting on the carriage, Liu Che looked at the empty seat behind him.
Sighed.
Without Wang Dao as a follower, he felt a little awkward for a while.
It's as if something is missing.
"The investigation will be completed as soon as possible..." Liu Che said to Ji An beside him: "Don't have any concealments or excuses, just do what it should be..."
"No!" Ji An nodded.
Liu Che looked outside the car curtain.
Now, it seems that he can only trust Ji An's justice and morality and not distort the facts.
only……
For the emperor, the word 'only' was a big mistake!
"I will appoint Lord Commander Gongsun Hong to concurrently serve as Shangshu Zuopushe..." Liu Che said to Ji An, "Please be prepared to provide help and support to Gongsun Hong after he takes office..."
"No!" Ji An still obeyed his orders respectfully.
Shangshu Zuopushe is an official position recently invented by Liu Che.
Mainly responsible for assisting Shangshu Ling, reviewing memorials, and reviewing policies.
You can think of it as a member of the ****** deep reform team of later generations.
His status is not high, but he has great authority.
Can discuss most issues and policies and write targeted reports.
At the same time, Pu She Pu She, in layman's terms, is the minister holding the bow.
Therefore, this position is also responsible for connecting with the Yulin Guard and the Huben Guard.
This can also be regarded as a way for Liu Che to gradually increase the authority of the lord and captain.
In addition, it is also an action to shuffle the cards on the Chancery Table.
It’s not that Liu Chexin is inferior to Ji An, but that he knows that no matter what organization he is, there must be internal competition and it cannot be a monolithic organization.
But the question is, can Ji An suppress Gongsun Hong?
"Your Majesty..." Ji An suddenly bowed and handed a pamphlet to Liu Che: "This is an exposition written by Master Huang recently. Please take a look at it..."
"Oh..." Liu Che took it, nodded, and said, "Let me take a look before talking..."
The so-called Master Huang is actually a giant of the Huang Lao Sect.
It was the old man who helped Zhang Shizhi point out a clear path so that Zhang Shizhi could save his life.
Ji An once listened to his disciples, so he was also respectfully called "teacher".
This person is considered to be a relatively open-minded person within the Huang-Lao Sect, and he can also clearly see the changes.
Liu Che opened the booklet and read it under the bright light of the whale oil lamp in the car.
After only reading a few pages, Liu Che raised his head and looked at Ji An with a half-smile.
"When did Mr. Huang dislike Zhuangzi so much?" Liu Che asked.
There is no doubt that the book in Liu Che's hands is a book that criticizes Zhuangzi's thoughts throughout.
This is not the first time that Zhuangzi’s thoughts and knowledge have been criticized within the Huang-Lao sect.
Before today, I don’t know how many famous people have criticized Zhuangzi.
There are really too many interesting points in Zhuangzi’s books and thoughts.
Moreover, Zhuangzi himself is a big troll.
When he was alive, the schools of thought that he criticized were spread across hundreds of schools of thought, and he criticized everything and everything.
If you go out to hang out, you will always have to pay back.
When Zhuangzi was alive, no one could criticize him.
But is he dead...
Hey hey hey...
If you can't even deal with the dead, all the schools of thought will act like sects.
However, before today, when everyone criticized Zhuangzi and Zhuangzi's thoughts and doctrines, it was just empty talk.
For example, Zhuangzi said that "knowing without knowing" is "not a human being".
Everyone dug into the old papers, put out a pile of writings by the sages, and criticized them one by one.
But this kind of criticism never goes deep and only remains on the surface.
Everyone is only satisfied with the illusion of "defeating Zhuangzi".
However, Master Huang, or Huang Sheng, finally began to get involved in 'falsification'.
In just a few pages of text, Liu Che had already understood that this Huang Sheng was trying to prove that there was no such thing as Men Wugui or Chi Zhang Manji.
If there were not these two people, then Zhuangzi's comments about Shun in his chapter on heaven and earth would be nonsense.
So, his remarks in "Ying Di Wang" are nonsense.
only……
Everyone in the world knows that all the stories in all Zhuangzi's works were made up by Zhuangzi himself.
These are all philosophical questions. Zhuangzi just used the people in the story to express his own world view and values.
However, Liu Che was too lazy to take care of it, and he didn't want to complain to Zhuangzi.
Because, in today’s world, there is no need for Zhuangzi’s thought, nor does it need Zhuangzi’s thought.
Regarding Zhuangzi's approach, Liu Cheshen thought that perhaps the gczy society, which is said to be extremely rich in materials and people can exploit machinery and eliminate the country and the nation, would be able to shine with real brilliance.
As for now, it is better to consider practical issues in a down-to-earth manner, rather than the brain-burning question of whether a person dreams of a butterfly or a butterfly dreams of a person.
Of course, certain protection must be provided.
It would be enough to allocate tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands every year to support a few scholars who specialize in studying and protecting Zhuangzi's thoughts.
The question Liu Che is really concerned about is why Master Huang chose to make a breakthrough from the story of Heaven and Earth Chapter?
To be fair, people in the world now criticize Zhuangzi mainly in the discussion of "Ying Diwang".
The big trolls caught Zhuangzi's remarks in "The Emperor Ying" and refuted them one by one.
But few people touch "Heaven and Earth".
This is because "Emperor Ying" is full of black spots for today's society. You can just pick one out and spray it for a whole day without worrying about offending anyone, and you can even be favored by the rulers.
"If the Heaven and Earth Chapter is falsified, then wouldn't the story of Zigong traveling to Chu and rebelling against Jin also be false?" Liu Che said with a smile on his face.
Then he said to Ji An: "I have read Huang Gong's masterpiece and benefited a lot from it. Please tell Huang Gong that I commend him for his sincere scholarship and will give him fifty pieces of gold and five pieces of silk!"
This is a matter of attitude.
The main purpose is to tell Huang Sheng and other Huang-Lao sect giants to quickly falsify all the discussions in the Heaven and Earth Chapter.
There is no need to really tear through the tiger skin of 'machine deceit' and 'mechanical heart'.
All you need to do is create momentum, and people all over the world will naturally know what to choose.
And after eliminating the two obstacles of 'machine heart' and 'mechanical decoration'.
Handicrafts and technology and craftsmen will no longer be discriminated against.
Liu Che can appoint various "Dr. Luban", "Dr. of Water Conservancy" and even "Dr. of Mechanical Engineering" openly and honestly.
On the contrary, the "strange skills and tricks" that are well known to everyone in later generations have only the same impact now.
After all, how can tricks and tricks be as powerful as "mechanical decoration" and "scheming and fraud", which are harsh accusations that directly point out whether a person is a gentleman, a villain or a thief?
"By the way, Your Majesty, I heard that this afternoon, Lu Ru, the doctor of "Spring and Autumn" from Taixue, had a beard that made it almost impossible to get off the stage..." Ji An said with a smile.
"Huh?" Liu Che also became interested. In the past six months, Hu Wusheng from Taixue had been criticizing Lu Ru on a daily basis, which made Liu Che very happy.
Hu Wusheng is very wise!
Liu Che had just started to attack the Qilu kings, and he began to tentatively talk about Lu Confucianism.
In the beginning, I just started with Lu Ru’s theory.
And the issues touched upon were all insignificant.
But after all the four kings of Qilu died and the Qilu area was washed by Zhidu and Zhao Yu.
Hu Wusheng's discussion points penetrated into Lu Ru's sensitive areas from the outside.
Even get to its core step by step.
He looks like he will kick Lu Ru off the altar!
Moreover, because it is an internal conflict within Confucianism, other Confucian factions, except the Guliang faction, support them based on the basic principle of "I oppose what Gongyang agrees with, and I agree with what Gongyang opposes."
The Chu Poetry School and the emerging Chong Min School and the Simeng School all said: It is none of my business.
"Tell me, what's going on..." Liu Che asked with a smile.
So, Ji An briefly told what happened, and then he tentatively said: "Your Majesty, isn't the beard a bit too much? After all, Gong Xiuzi is a sage and has always been respected by others..."
"Haha..." Liu Che looked at Ji An, of course he knew what this guy was thinking.
It is nothing more than that on the issue of public funeral rites, the Huang-Lao sect and Lu Ru had a common position.
If you think about it carefully, Liu Che will understand why.
The reason is simple.
Because apart from a reputation for integrity and a noble personality, what is tied to the official funeral ceremony is that it is important to have a good reputation.
There are also famous sayings such as "Pull up the sunflowers and weave them", "Accept the big and don't use the small", "Don't compete with the people for profit", etc.
Among them, not competing with the people for profit is the favorite of the landlords and bureaucrats.
Who are the people?
Of course not a mud-legged person!
Even ordinary landowners are not considered ‘citizens’.
In the eyes of the powerful landlords and bureaucrats, the real people are of course themselves.
Everyone else is forced to be represented by them.
This kind of deformed thought and speech eventually led to the terrible situation after the Western Han Dynasty when imperial power did not go to the countryside and the "rural sages" became autonomous.
Liu Che had long wanted to attack Gong Xiuyi.
He even thought about playing a "martial arts story" once and taking the opportunity to completely deny Gongxiu Yi and his ideas.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Liu Che had to give up.
Because this is a hedgehog. Once touched, it will set off an unprecedented discussion and ideological debate.
It will also involve big topics such as officialdom, morality, and three views.
Initiated and mobilized by the emperor, the final result was probably that Gong Xiuyi was knocked down, but a more terrifying guy stood up.
Moreover, politicizing academic issues will have disastrous consequences.
Once he did that, wouldn't Liu Che be the first to open a literary prison?
He himself can guarantee that people will not be wronged, but he cannot guarantee that the people below will not be wronged, nor can he guarantee that the political strife that started will not intensify.
Just think about Wang Anshi's reform in the Northern Song Dynasty and the terrible scenes of the conflict between the new party and the old party.
Liu Che gave up the idea.
The academic belongs to academics, the political belongs to politics, and the religious belongs to religion.
This is the basic principle established by Liu Che when he ascended the throne.
Academic issues must not be politicized!
You can’t be punished for your words!
It's good now.
The academic community is left to fight on its own. Liu Che only needs to be a good nanny, brush up the bu, and do a good job of support.
"You have an upright beard, but your knowledge is good. Please stop making a fuss..." Liu Che said with a smile: "Let them solve the problems in the academic and ideological circles by themselves!"
"No!" Hearing this, Ji An felt confident.
In fact, he just wants to know the current views and attitudes on these issues.
Just fix the problem.
Then, the old-school giants can take this opportunity to adjust their stance.
Now it seems that the emperor's attitude has explained everything!
Ji An seemed to have seen the end of Huang Laopai, beating up Lu Ru's drowned dog.
Don't think that the Huang-Lao Sect and Lu Ru have a common position on certain issues, and that they are all members of the same family.
Actually, not at all!
Even within the Huanglao sect, they were very happy to see Lu Ru being unlucky.
The reason is simple. If Lu Ru falls, then only they have the right to speak on those issues!
Today's world is becoming more and more like the contention of a hundred schools of thought during the Warring States Period.
All schools of thought, in an increasingly obvious and clear competitive environment, everyone, whether willing or unwilling, must work hard to move up.
Those who don’t work hard and want to rest on their laurels.
They will die in obscurity just like the miscellaneous families, famous masters, and Yang Zhu of the Warring States Period.
Swallowing the big guy Lu Ru and absorbing Lu Ru's original supporters and basic cards will also be beneficial to the Huang Lao Sect.
It can even be said that it was a big meal!
After eating this meal, it will last for at least three years!
Of course.
If they want to eat and digest Lu Ru, the Huanglao sect also needs to consider the issues of Gongyang and other Confucian sects.
Therefore, Ji An promptly reported: "Your Majesty, I heard that right now, Duke Zhang of the Legalist School will go to Huzi's Mansion to discuss 'academic issues'..."
"Oh..." Liu Che raised his eyes: "Has Confucianism and Legalism finally reached this critical step?"
"Yes, Your Majesty..." Ji An bowed and said, "However, the matter between Yi Chen and Yi Chen is probably just between Hu Hu and Zhang Zi..."
Liu Che nodded.
Although it is only Hu Wusheng of the Gongyang faction and Zhang Hui of the Legalist Shangshen faction, they are quickly getting closer and may unite.
But this is still a big deal in academia!
And changes in the academic world will inevitably affect the political arena.
Zhang Hui had countless disciples and disciples.
The most famous among them is Chao Cuo, the current imperial censor.
In addition, Zhang Hui's family has two thousand shi, and even Tingwei Zhao Yu is related to him. Zhao Yu's mentor is Zhang Hui's junior fellow student.
And Hu Wusheng is also very powerful.
His own disciples were already known as the "Three Thousand Disciples" four years ago.
Today, he is one of the largest academic circles within the Gongyang Sect. Together with Dong Zhongshu, he constitutes the two most dazzling giants of Confucianism.
After Duke Shen of Lu, the leader in Confucian discourse was, not surprisingly, either Dong Zhongshu or Hu Wusheng.
Moreover, many of Hu Wusheng's disciples are serving as officials.
Now, the highest-ranking person has even climbed to the position of the Chief Registrar of Yingchuan County.
And the strongest one is, of course, the later Marquis of Pingjin, now the Lord Commander, and the newly minted Shangshu Zuopushe Gongsun Hong.
The proximity and combination of these two people is enough to produce a reaction of 1 1 being greater than 2.
Liu Che turned to look at Ji An, pondered for a moment, and then said: "In a few days, I will be inspecting Mo Garden. Please tell Mr. Huang that if you have time, you can come with me..."
Legalism and Confucianism are getting closer and want to unite.
Liu Che was happy to see the success, but also worried.
After all, these two schools of thought both have strong power of action.
Moreover, the execution ability is very strong!
If they get closer and unite, no other school of thought will be their combined enemy.
Therefore, it is necessary for Huang Laopai to find a younger brother.
Of course, this matter still needs to be discussed by Huang Laopai himself.
Whether we can reach an agreement or not, Liu Che doesn't want to interfere. (To be continued.)
