Are you unwilling to stoop down and delve into the study of Confucian classics, but instead stay in the temple?
The old man had been scolded in his life, and he could always ignore them indifferently, but never had such vicious words made him so angry!
This is going to ruin his reputation throughout his life!
"Wang Dezhao, you are just an old man in the mountains. If I hadn't recommended you, how could the late emperor have chosen you at a young age and conferred the honor of Doctor of the Imperial Academy on you? I have pity for your talent and don't stick to the opinions of the family, but you are ungrateful and spit on others. It is really shameful.
Extremely shameless!"
Kong Yingda is not given in vain. In fact, every great Confucian is an expert in talking. If he is not able to talk with others, how can he stand out among the many Confucian scholars and become famous all over the world?
Talking is a necessary skill for Confucians in addition to Confucian classics.
Wang Dezhao was an official in front of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, he had no choice but to return to the countryside to live in seclusion. Fortunately, Kong Yingda recommended him to the late emperor Li Yuan.
Great Confucian.
It's just that Kong Yingda, as the son of the emperor and a leader in the literary world, was naturally recommended by His Majesty Li Er as the editor-in-chief of "Five Classics of Justice". His literary fame spread throughout the world and established his status as a great Confucian scholar. It is conceivable that from now on,
All Confucian students who want to study "Five Classics of Justice" must respect Kong Yingda as their first teacher.
What does Confucianism pursue?
On the surface, he talks about righteousness, the etiquette of the Spring and Autumn Period, respects teachers and Taoism, is loyal to the emperor and loves the country... In fact, great Confucians are also human beings, and they have seven emotions and six desires, and they have their own universal aspirations.
What is a universal statement?
Just fame and profit.
What an honor it is to be the editor-in-chief of "Five Classics of Justice"?
However, Kong Yingda easily snatched him away. He and other great scholars in the world only gained the reputation of being a "coercion", so naturally they felt unhappy...
As soon as Fang Jun heard the content of the dispute between the two, he knew what the dispute was about.
I didn’t mention it, it’s an old habit of literati to look down on each other...
Fang Jun stood aside and couldn't get anything in, feeling a little embarrassed.
Instead, an old man with a thin face was stroking his beard and nodded to him with a smile.
Fang Jun knew this person, Ma Jiayun, the son of the state, who was also a famous scholar in the world.
Fang Jun smiled and nodded, returning the courtesy.
Wang Dezhao was stabbed directly in the lung tube by Kong Yingda. He was immediately furious and trembling all over: "Sweep the floor politely, sweep the floor politely! It is our duty to promote talents for the country. We can neither bury talents because of personal likes and dislikes, nor can we ignore them.
I want to repay you for your achievements! As a great sage respected by thousands of Confucian students, how can you be so philistine and dirty?"
Kong Yingda retorted: "The Master said: Zi Lu accepted the advice and encouraged virtue, Zigong gave in and stopped the good! If I didn't expect rewards for my actions in the past, who will be willing to selflessly recommend the virtuous from now on?"
Zilu saved a drowning man. The rescuer gave Zilu a cow as a token of his gratitude. Zilu accepted it. Confucius said: From now on, the people of Lu will like to save people in danger.
In order to redeem a slave, Zigong should have been rewarded by the government according to the law of Lu, but he refused, thinking that it was immoral to do good deeds and ask for reward. Confucius said: No one in Lu will be willing to do such good deeds to redeem others.
.
This is the famous saying of "Zi Lu was encouraged by others to be virtuous, and Zigong was humble and did good deeds."
If moral standards are raised too high and ordinary people cannot reach them, social justice will be destroyed.
Fang Jun almost laughed out loud. This old boy Kong Yingda was really cunning. Who could refute what Confucius said?
I am repaying my kindness so that in the future there will be people like me who can recommend talents to the court. If I don’t want to repay the favor now, then I will be raising my moral standards infinitely. Who will do these thankless things in the future?
?
If no one does it, old guys like you, Wang Dezhao, who live in seclusion at home, will just wait to die with the grass and trees... So, even if I don't want to repay you, you can't be ungrateful. You have to be grateful to me.
!
"Gong De, Mr. De, please wake up... Oh no, Mr. De has fainted!"
Wang Dezhao didn't even take a breath, he fell onto a great scholar next to him, closed his eyes, and fainted very easily.
There was a rush of activity all around.
Although Fang Jun knew that it was more likely that he would pretend to be fainted in order to get up the stairs, he was still shocked. These old guys were all in their seventies, and they could drop several parts when they jumped. What if something really happened?
, but it’s not easy for me to get rid of the involvement.
After all, the quarrel between the two started because of themselves, and behind every great scholar these days, there are countless disciples and disciples. When the time comes to attack them in groups, it will be really troublesome...
He hurried forward to check and found out whether he was really dizzy or fake, so he shouted to a group of Imperial College students who were following behind him: "Why are you standing there in a daze? Quickly let the old gentleman go down the mountain and be my carriage."
Go to the palace and ask the palace physician for diagnosis and treatment."
"Here!"
A group of Imperial College students just woke up from a dream and ran up with a roar. They carried Wang Dezhao with all their hands and feet and ran down the stairs.
An old man glanced at Fang Jun, snorted and said, "Fang's son-in-law has such great official power. All the students in the Imperial College are well-read people, but they allow you to shout around and sweep the floor politely!"
Fang Jun almost died of anger.
So polite and polite?
Do you think I'm easy to bully?
Dang Ji responded back: "To be open to all rivers in the sea is great, but to stand tall and tall without any desire is strong! The students of the Imperial College are indeed rich in knowledge and are admired by everyone, but if they don't have the idea of entering the court and serving as an official, why should they care about someone's words?
?After all, if you can’t be pure-minded and dedicate yourself to studying, then don’t flaunt yourselves as pure little sheep, always complaining about injustice, crying out for injustice all the time, which is so disgusting!”
You talk so much about benevolence, justice and morality that no one can escape you, but as soon as one or two of them received the emperor's conquest order, didn't they immediately go to work?
If you are capable, you just stay in the countryside and study. Is it possible that someone can come and show official authority to you?
Just like those students, since they are destined to be officials in the future, they must be reverent and follow the rules of the officialdom!
Want to be a bitch but also want to build a memorial arch?
I'm used to you...
Ma Jiayun clicked his tongue and praised: "Having the capacity to accommodate hundreds of rivers is great, standing on a wall with thousands of people without desires is strong... Sincerity and even reason!"
When you seek something, you naturally have something to fear.
If we really have no desires or pursuits, then why should we fear anything in the world?
Some people also echoed and praised these two sentences.
The old man who had spoken out against Fang Jun had his skin like chicken skin wrinkled together. He was obviously very dissatisfied with Fang Jun for not knowing how to "respect the old and love the young". I am so old and I can't stop talking about you, you know.
Don’t know the rules?
He said angrily: "I am over seventy years old this year. I have educated countless students in my life, but I have never seen such a naughty person as the Prince Consort! Today we are gathered here to discuss the inscription of an article on this piece of bluestone.
Later students admonished you, you can only write a few lines of inferior poetry, but you know nothing about the articles that will be passed down for generations. Why dare you stand here and talk nonsense? If you still have some self-knowledge, why not retreat quickly, otherwise, you will only make the world laugh at you.
!”
Fang Jun was stunned.
Are these old guys here to discuss and inscribe articles on this piece of bluestone so that they can be passed down to future generations and gain fame?
But the problem is, this academy was proposed by the emperor to be built by me, and it was planned by me, and I even racked my brains to raise funds to invest in the construction. How come at this time, it is your business to inscribe bluestones and leave your name in history, and you still have to rush
I'm leaving?
There is no such truth in the world!
He couldn't help but look at Kong Yingda - Brother, what do you mean?
We have a good relationship. If you are interested in this honor, I will give it to you. But you brought such a group of shameless rotten people to disgust me. What do you mean?
Kong Yingda and Fang Jun looked at each other, looking embarrassed...
"Don't be upset, Erlang. This is His Majesty's order. I am just following the order... Your Majesty has said that this academy carries the important task of educating all people and opening up their wisdom. It will surely shine in future generations and make history shine brightly. Therefore, it should be recorded in stone."
, is also a story that will last through the ages.”
He had to explain.
On the one hand, Fang Jun is obviously deeply dissatisfied with this matter. He does not want Fang Jun to be angry with him. Furthermore, if he or even Fang Jun's temper breaks out, he will drive away all these great scholars without hesitation.
Offending most of the scholars in the world...that would be a huge disaster.
Scholars control public opinion these days, and even the emperor is very afraid of it. If Fang Jun offends all these people, the consequences will be disastrous.
This is also for Fang Jun's sake...
Fang Jun nodded, indicating that he had received Kong Yingda's kindness, but he did not intend to give up.
After thinking for a while, he said: "I wonder if you have any shocking articles that can be engraved on bluestone?"
Ma Jiayun smiled and said: "Wei Zeng, we just discussed it for a few words, but now we are quarreling, haha."
Fang Jun nodded. This old man is in a good mood. Others are making noises, but he is watching the excitement. He is such a special old fox...
Then he rolled up his sleeves and said to the remaining Imperial Academy students: "Go and get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I have an article. I'll write it out for you to take a look. If everyone thinks it's good, don't argue.
Just engrave my article on the bluestone."
Silence filled the place.
All the great scholars of the world have dull faces...
