Before Gu Yun Da Ru opened his mouth, Ning Ping Da Ru next to him couldn't help being surprised.
Although the so-called new theory does not directly create a school of thought, it just puts forward different opinions from the previous one, or writes an unprecedented book, but this is also a difficult thing, because in it, one must have his own The truth can be explained.
This is a very difficult thing, and it is basically difficult for many scholars to do it, especially those with low level of knowledge.
The reason is also very simple, that is, you must have a deep understanding of Confucian principles, or you must have more experience.
If some great Confucians came up with new theories, although it would be surprising, it would not be too shocking.
Only those young scholars do not only mean that they are talented.
More importantly, they may have found a new path.
Of course, this does not mean that it will reach the end, but no matter what, it is extremely outstanding in Confucianism. If not, the so-called Longyuan Conference would not be held. The purpose is to introduce the old and bring forth the new every once in a while.
The reason why Ning Ping Da Ru was shocked was not just that, but he knew it very well.
Not long ago, Zhishu Song came up with a classic among classics such as The Way of the University.
But now?
There is actually a new theory
Not only the great scholar Ning Ping, but also the great scholar Gu Yun couldn't help being shocked. He looked at Song Zhishu in disbelief and couldn't help but said: "Young friend Song, you have a new theory. Isn't this a joke?"
The Way of the University has been regarded by them as a true classic of Confucianism, which will surely be passed down to generations in the future and must be read by every scholar.
Let alone a great Confucian, even a saint would find it extremely difficult to write such a book.
The key is that Song Zhishu has learned the way of learning and has new theories.
certainly.
This does not mean that the saint is inferior to Song Zhishu.
The saint is to walk out of his own way, which is completely different from the doctrine. The way of the saint is to open up a new path for future generations, and the meaning is completely different. But even so, Song Zhishu said that there are new theories, which has made it difficult for him. Believed.
"I do have some insights." Seeing the shocked expressions of the two great scholars, Song Zhishu slightly cupped his hands.
Indeed, it was not long ago that we came up with the Way of the University, and now there is a new theory, which is probably a bit shocking.
In fact, before coming to the Longyuan Conference, Song Zhishu had no intention of participating. He just came to increase his knowledge and see other people's principles to broaden his own knowledge.
But things are different now. He already knows that the Southern Confucianism is weak today, and if it continues like this, there will be signs of loss.
And whether it was Gu Yun or Mr. Wenyuan, they were all kind to Song Zhishu.
In this situation, Song Zhishu felt that he had to do something.
If he could help the Southern Confucianists at the Longyuan Conference, it would be considered a way of repaying a favor. Moreover, he was now considered a member of this school. If he had this opportunity, why not do it?
As for what he would bring out then, Song Zhishu naturally had a plan in mind.
Hearing this, Ning Ping Da Ru and Gu Yun Da Ru looked at each other.
They knew that the other party was not joking, but actually had new theories and principles, because they both knew what kind of person Song Zhishu was. He was not a person who liked to exaggerate, but he knew the importance and the righteousness.
So, now that I’ve said it, that’s it.
"Okay, if you have the idea of participating in the Longyuan Conference, then we will naturally welcome it. As for what kind of theory you want to come up with, I and others will not ask for now. We will get a glimpse of your style at the conference."
Gu Yun Daru immediately spoke, with a little excitement in his words.
Originally, the Southern Confucians were planning to give up on this Longyuan Conference. After all, the younger generations of scholars on their side did have doctrines that they could speak out, but the way of the university had been agreed in advance and would not be used. In this way, they could
I didn’t do much, and I felt that this conference would be the home of the royal sect and the sect.
But things are different now. Song Zhishu stated that he would participate in the conference, which gave the two of them some hope.
Even if it is impossible to win the first prize directly, no matter what, it can still make a name for Southern Confucianism.
For today's Southern School, reputation is indeed very important.
Only in this way can their lineage be passed on.
"Mr. Gu Yun was joking. All students can do is try their best." Song Zhishu cupped his hands slightly, with a helpless smile on his face.
"Okay, we two old men won't say much. Friends Song, have a good rest. We will come again when the Longyuan Conference starts." At this time, Guyun Daru stood up, his eyes were very pleased.
.
Both he and the great scholar Ningping around him valued Song Zhishu very much. Although they wanted to chat for a while, they had no choice but to do so. As great scholars, they still had many things to do and could not stay here forever.
Moreover, the Longyuan Conference is about to be held, and the next step will definitely be even busier.
"Gentlemen, walk slowly."
Song Zhishu also knew that the two great scholars had their own affairs, so naturally he would not choose to retain them.
After sending the three of them out, he returned to the bed again and began to practice.
Even though it was clear that he was about to participate in the Longyuan Conference.
But at this moment, Song Zhishu was still very relaxed and was not affected. Instead, he focused on his cultivation for the time being, because he knew that Xu Changyu would send rewards from Kaiyang City in the near future. By then, he would
Then you can improve your strength again.
"Two gentlemen, since Brother Song plans to participate in the Longyuan Conference, should we make preparations?"
At this moment, Lu Ming, who had just walked out of the door, thought of what had just happened and immediately asked.
There are many people attending the Longyuan Conference, but not many can actually take part, and there are restrictions this time. The older generation of scholars will not appear, and those who can stand up and express their theories are basically younger generations of scholars, and these,
All need to be prepared.
At least let the people participating in this conference know who they are.
However, Lu Ming's words made both Gu Yun and Ning Ping stop in their tracks.
"Why do we need to prepare in advance?" Ningping Daru said directly: "We, the Southern Confucians, used all our strength to get the right to host the Longyuan Conference, but in the end, those schools did not allow us to use the method of the university.
, what’s the reason?”
"It's just that they know that once the way of the university comes out, no matter what doctrines the various universities come up with, it will be impossible to compare with it."
"This approach is completely suppressing our southern Confucianism. And Song Xiaoyou is going to come on stage. Not many people who come up with new doctrines know about it. Why don't we take this opportunity to surprise those schools and let them know,
We, the Southern Confucians, will not decline like this!"
What Ning Ping Da Ru means is very simple, that is, Song Zhishu attended the Longyuan Conference, and many people know it.
But no one knew that Song Zhishu had a new theory, so there was no defense against Southern Confucianism.
Now everyone feels that the winner of this conference is between the royal sect and the sect, and no one cares about the southern sect.
Even the great Confucians are angry about this, but neither the Great Confucian Gu Yun nor the great Confucian Ning Ping can do anything because the situation is not as good as others, so they can only accept it.
But Song Zhishu had a new theory and was going to present it at the conference.
The meaning is completely different.
Regardless of whether that theory can take the lead, just boldly let everyone know that Southern Confucianism still exists.
"That's right." Guyun Daru also spoke at this moment, with a solemn look in his eyes: "For many years, our southern Confucianism has not been taken seriously, so that even if Confucianism and Taoism are no longer suppressed, we
This lineage, however, did not take advantage of the situation to flourish. Instead, the royal sect and the sect took advantage of the situation. If things go on like this, it will only be a matter of time before our southern sect declines."
"And this Longyuan Conference may be our last chance, so no matter what, we must seize it."
"Since Mr. Song is willing to participate, it is undoubtedly a good thing, and we do not need to notify other schools in advance."
Guyun Daru, like Ningping Daru, did not want to reveal this matter in advance.
"Those who publish theories must register in advance before they can go up. We are not prepared. What if other schools of thought use this as an argument?" Lu Ming understood what the two gentlemen meant, but felt it was inappropriate.
He felt that the two gentlemen might be grudges with other schools of thought.
"What are you afraid of?"
Gu Yun, however, didn't care much about this and continued: "It's not like you don't know that this conference is hosted by our Southern Confucianists. It's not their turn to make irresponsible remarks. Okay, it's decided like this.
.”
After saying that, he and Ning Ping Da Ru left the area and went to the main hall of the residence.
Obviously, he also wanted to inform Zeng Yong and others about Song Zhishu's participation in the Longyuan Conference and his preparations to publish new doctrines.
"this"
Lu Ming looked at the backs of the two great scholars and couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.
But now that he has said it, he will not say anything about it.
However, unlike what Ning Ping Da Ru and Gu Yun Da Ru thought, Lu Ming obviously knew Song Zhishu better and knew that since the other party had made a decision, it would not be simple. Since there was a new theory, it must be amazing.
Maybe not as well as the previous university, but certainly not much worse.
"Perhaps, Brother Song will become famous again this time."
Lu Ming murmured to himself, and then left the place without thinking too much.
On the other side, Song Zhishu is still practicing. Since the two great Confucians left, no one has come to disturb him, so he has been practicing, reading and writing some articles from time to time, which has made his Confucian cultivation steadily improve. At the same time,
Prepare for the start of the conference
As for the outside world, he also learned about it through Lu Ming, who came from time to time.
Now the whole Yunzhou can be said to be very lively, not only the Confucian universities, but also some powerful sects are here.
This is normal. Who knows that this Longyuan Conference is related to the entire Confucianism, and even the next saint may appear in it. It is a real big event, and it can be said to be the focus of everyone's attention.
Song Zhishu knew this very well and didn't say much.
And a few days later, Xu Changyu finally came, bringing with him the reward from the last mission to eliminate demons in Kaiyang City.
