There was a sudden silence in the check-in room, and almost everyone looked at Fang Jun with surprise on their faces.
In the Tang Dynasty, official positions did not represent everything. There were always a few strange people who had unparalleled prestige and status even though they did not have official titles.
In this world where reputation can be achieved, they seem to be above the clouds and are truly a privileged class.
For example, Sun Simiao, such as Yuan Tiangang.
Sun Simiao relied on his medical skills that could almost reach the gods and his philanthropic medical ethics. He had the worship and love that was close to a "god". No matter the emperors, generals or traffickers, they had to be impressed by his profound medical skills. He hoped that one day he could cure the disease.
He had captured him from the hands of the Lord of Hell, and moreover, he sincerely respected his noble character and was sincerely convinced.
As for Yuan Tiangang, because he is proficient in the Five Elements and knows Yin and Yang, in such an era of "dance between gods and ghosts", he is recognized as the mortal closest to the "gods".
Their prestige is immeasurable, and even His Majesty Li Er, who is so talented and powerful, must respect them and will never treat them as his ministers and subjects.
Not to mention whether Yuan Tiangang's proposal to add a Taoist college to the academy is reasonable and whether it can be approved, Fang Jun's refusal without leaving any room is absolutely inappropriate.
Even if His Majesty Li Er refuses, he will try to be tactful.
Someone like Fang Jun is so blunt and straightforward, so lacking in respect...
Kong Yingda raised her snow-white eyebrows, glanced at the expressionless Yuan Tiangang, and asked Fang Jun with a smile: "Although His Majesty personally serves as the academy's liberator, after all, he has many things to do and is busy with government affairs. In daily operations and management, Fang Shaobao is required."
Fang Shaobao is responsible for all the efforts, and Fang Shaobao is the one who prepared the whole academy. No one knows the situation of the academy better than Fang Shaobao. It’s just that Fang Shaobao thinks that Yuan Daochang’s suggestion is inappropriate, but he doesn’t know what is wrong?
Would love to hear the details.”
This was a change of scenery for Fang Jun, and his words relieved Yuan Tiangang and His Majesty Li Er who Fang Jun might have offended.
The Kong family is an authentic Confucian sect and a wealthy family in Shandong, so they are naturally much closer to the Fang family. What's more, the situation in the DPRK is changing a lot nowadays. Both the Shandong aristocratic family and the Jiangnan gentry are doing their best to pay tribute to Fang Jun.
near.
Properly showing goodwill is beneficial to the cooperation between both parties.
But Fang Jun doesn't seem to care about offending anyone...
Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Fang Jun sat upright, with his back straight, and said seriously: "Although the academy encourages students to be erudite and knowledgeable, it pays more attention to the achievements in the classics and history, as well as medicine, military art, investigation of objects and other natural sciences. The Taoist priest may not have done that.
Consider that these students are all outstanding people recruited from their respective states. No matter what their studies are in the future, they will definitely embark on an official career, either in literature or in the army. However, no matter which one, things are bound to be complicated.
How can such people be obsessed with the theory of yin and yang and the way of heaven and man? Instead of placing their energy and hopes on these students who are destined to enter the official career, it is better to ask your majesty to issue a decree and allow the Taoist sect to establish a school of its own.
, specializing in teaching disciples the way of heaven and man. Only by being undistracted and obsessed with Taoism can we cultivate outstanding talents and become the cornerstone of the development of Taoism."
No matter what, if the Taoist sect wants to infiltrate into the academy, Fang Jun will never allow it.
It's not that he has any prejudice against Taoism, but once things like sects are mixed into the academy, a pure academic palace, internal strife will inevitably arise.
Taoist theory seems to be quiet and inactive, pursuing the realm of heaven and man, but Taoist priests are all human beings, and as humans they are bound to have conflicts of interest. Once this sect, which has been passed down for thousands of years, takes root in the academy, it will inevitably become the relationship between Taoism and the world from now on.
The bridgehead of the struggle.
How can the Buddhists sit back and watch the Taoist sect grow uncontrollably?
Fights will inevitably follow, with internal costs and external disputes. This academy that I have high hopes for may become a hodgepodge of interest struggles...
It's tolerable, but it's intolerable.
After saying these words, he looked at His Majesty Li Er, believing that His Majesty Li Er could understand the deep meaning of his words.
Compared to himself, His Majesty Li Er regards the academy as a base for arranging his "emperor's disciples". How could he be willing to end up making wedding clothes for the Taoist sect?
His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and drank tea slowly without saying a word.
Fang Jun waited for a long time before His Majesty Li Er spoke, and was speechless. Are you embarrassed to throw me out and offend others? In case I have ulterior motives, I will go along with the flow and agree to Yuan Tiangang's request. When the time comes, will you still
How to recover?
Is it possible that you have realized that I am of the same mind as you?
…
Yuan Tiangang didn't think so much. Although the Taoist sect has been ups and downs since ancient times, sometimes prosperous and sometimes silent, it generally represents the interests of the upper class. It is no secret that His Majesty desires immortality. He has also made many Taoist priests and monks in the past.
Entering the palace, hoping for the medicine of immortality.
Under such circumstances, how can one reject Taoism?
As for Fang Jun's refusal so bluntly...it must be completely in revenge for his teasing just now.
The old Taoist puffed his beard and stared at Fang Jun with a displeased look on his face. He said displeasedly: "There are rumors that Fang Shaobao Yi and Bo Yuntian are broad-minded. It turns out that the reputation is not as good as the meeting. It is really regrettable. The old Taoist was just a few jokes.
Why do you have to retaliate so harshly?"
He just felt that Fang Jun was retaliating.
Ever since the monk Xuanzang returned to Chang'an from Tianzhu to seek scriptures and caused a sensation in Buddhism, Yuan Tiangang racked his brains to think of ways to fight against it. After much deliberation, there was no quick-effective way, so he had to make up his mind.
Come up to the academy.
The Taoist sect is proficient in the ways of heaven and man. Whether it is pursuing immortality or prolonging life, or even just seeking extravagant skills in the house, these are the advantages of the Taoist sect, and it has always been sought after by those aristocratic families.
With such a foundation, if we can then use the academy to catch all the outstanding young students in the world, the Taoist sect's influence will inevitably jump to an unprecedented level.
Unexpectedly, Fang Jun rejected him so simply...
Previously in Sun Simiao's Yaolu on Zhongnan Mountain, it was Fang Jun who reminded him to be careful about the rise of Buddhism and kindly reminded him to make plans to revitalize Taoism as soon as possible. Therefore, he always thought that Fang Jun was close to Taoism. At this moment, Fang Jun didn't say anything.
He refused without hesitation, which seemed to him to be revenge for his previous ridicule.
This kid seems to have quite a bit of talent, but who would have expected him to be so small-minded... The old man is quite annoyed.
Fang Jun looked upright, spread his hands, and said innocently: "How could the Taoist master misunderstand me like this? I just think that the Taoist academy should not be located in the academy, and it is not that the Taoist academy should not be set up. In my opinion,
The establishment of a Taoist academy is very necessary. Now that Master Xuanzang has returned from Tianzhu with great reputation, he has also brought countless Buddhist classics with him. If the Taoist school cannot catch up, it will inevitably be suppressed. I have no barriers to Buddhism.
But after all, Taoist sect is our own sect. If we watch Taoist sect fall into decline, we will inevitably feel sad. Therefore, I suggest you choose a Taoist cave and set up a Taoist academy. While studying Taoist classics, you can also cultivate Taoist disciples.
My talents can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
Yuan Tiangang snorted in anger.
Can the effect be the same? What the old Taoist values is the status of the academy. What he values is the hundreds of students in the academy. He relies on the help these students can bring to the Taoist sect after they enter the official career after being influenced by the Taoist sect.
The Taoist sect has a long history and is the first sect in China. It has ten major caves, thirty-six small caves, and seventy-two blessed lands. These places are located in famous mountains and rivers all over the world, but they are all remote places. Even if a Taoist school can be set up
What influence can the academy have?
Even if we can cultivate so many talents, how many years and months will it take before they can be put to use? How can there be such a ready-made academy as the academy? It is here and gathers the best talents in the world. It only needs a little influence from the nearby water tower.
, in three to five years, it will be the greatest help to the Taoist sect...
It's a pity that although the abacus is good, the difficulties are not small.
This room is absolutely bastard and disgusting.
Li Chunfeng on the side lowered his eyebrows and sipped tea. It seemed that the Taoist affairs mentioned by Yuan Tiangang had nothing to do with him. He had a special status. He was not only a disciple of Yuan Tiangang's Taoist sect, but also an official of the imperial court. Yuan Tiangang could
The proposal to add a Taoist academy to the academy, whether adopted or not, is just a negotiation between the Taoist sect and the imperial court.
But if he opens his mouth, the nature of the matter will most likely change suddenly, and His Majesty Li Er may think that he has other agendas, or even uses Taoism to increase his influence in the court.
Li Chunfeng had no interest in any of this.
Ever since he came into contact with what Fang Jun called "natural science", Li Chunfeng felt that he had entered a mysterious realm. All the world's worldly affairs, which were tied to fame and fortune, were as hard to remember as passing clouds.
