The Han Dynasty founded the country and inherited the Qin system in its entirety. Naturally, it also advocated the rule of law. Xiao He, an old official with a legalist background, first-class political ability, and a rich group of meritorious officials, deservedly became the first prime minister.
At the same time, Nanzhan continent had experienced wars for a long time, and the people had long been in dire straits. They urgently needed to resume production and could not afford too much trouble, so the purpose of governing the country was to recuperate and govern by doing nothing.
Under such circumstances, the Taoist political philosophy was the most suitable, and it was inevitable to become powerful in the court. Headed by Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, and Cao Shen, and secretly supported by Queen Lu Pheasant, they joined forces with the Legalists to dominate the court.
In the Tang Dynasty, the Confucian forces headed by Shusun Tong, Li Shiqi, Lu Jia, etc. suppressed the Confucian forces and found it difficult to get ahead.
Even if Confucianism must be supported for the great plan of the human race, political rules must be followed in the court. Even if Liu Bang, as the founding emperor, has unwavering authority, he cannot ignore the rules and do whatever he wants.
Due to various reasons, Confucianism was unable to make its mark in the early Han Dynasty. No matter how hard it tried, it could not compete with Legalism and Taoism, and the great plan of Confucianism could not be realized.
Under such circumstances, thoughtful people discovered the Taoist sect's plan. Originally, they did not intend to use force to prevent the Confucians from ascending to power. After all, this would directly break up with the human race, which would not be conducive to spreading the word in the human race.
Nowadays, the competition is conducted in the form of a political game, with no high-level officials taking action. Confucian and Taoist disciples are allowed to play their part in the court, promote their respective political ideas, and speak with facts to see if Confucianism can pass this test.
It is also for this reason that Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty could not ignore the rules and go astray. Otherwise, he would be the first to commit a foul and give the Taoist disciples a clue. When the other party followed suit, the sage would end up personally, and the consequences would be even more disastrous.
At that time, one's own theory was untenable and was attacked by the Taoist sect. No one else would sympathize with him. He could not say it openly, and it was even less possible for him to break up and prevent the Taoist sect from preaching. Otherwise, if he acted like this, the human race would definitely be joined by various sects.
against.
As a result, invisible gunpowder smoke filled the halls of the Han Dynasty. The two political forces of Taoism and Confucianism repeatedly competed with each other. The Legalists were firmly on the Diaoyutai. No matter which side won, it was impossible to abandon them.
In the first six thousand years, the Han Dynasty needed to recuperate due to the national conditions, which was in line with Taoism's rule of inaction, so Taoism firmly controlled the court, and Confucianism had no power to resist.
But once the Six Thousand Years passed, the world became more stable, and the population and production in various places returned to their former prosperity, and more and more problems arose. If we continue to govern like this without doing anything, it will begin to become inappropriate.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Confucian forces that had been building up for a long time began to exert their strength. Taking advantage of the time when the Taoists had no time to change their minds, they made some achievements with the knowledge of managing the world and applying it. They gradually reversed the decline and gained more people in the court.
The right to speak.
Soon after, Hu Wusheng and Dong Zhongshu, doctors of the Five Classics and outstanding disciples of Gongyang Confucianism who studied "Spring and Autumn", jointly wrote "Spring and Autumn Fanlu" after absorbing the theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, promoting the theory of great unification and great revenge.
Emphasizing the influence of heaven and man, and the divine right of kings, it was valued by the world for a while, causing the power in the court to reverse again. As a result, the power of Confucianism overtook Taoism.
Seeing that the time was ripe, the Han Dynasty officially vigorously developed Confucianism and gradually merged with Legalism. From then on, Confucianism and Legalism were not separated in the southern continents. All dynasties followed the political system of Confucianism and law, while the other schools of thought followed.
Gradually faded out of the Han Dynasty Hall.
Time flies by, and 30,000 years have passed in the blink of an eye. Confucianism has developed extremely prosperously in Nanzhan continent, with colleges spread across counties and counties, and the highest institution of learning like Taixue has already been built in Chang'an City.
Confucianism dominated the court, and even veteran officials like Zhang Liang and Cao Shen had to avoid their influence. One concentrated on cultivating Taoism and did not care about government affairs, while the other was a disobedient and followed Cao Sui, switching to Xiao He's line.
Another big figure, Chen Ping, was close to Empress Lu, and together with Lu Ze, he became Empress Lu's representative in the court, and still had a place in the court.
Under such a splendid trend, the Confucian school blossomed like a brocade, and its fortunes rose like fire cooking oil. Under the official promotion, it had fully ruled the Nanzhan continent, and combined with the Confucian branches of the other four continents, it flourished for a while
Incomparably, the foundation for establishing a religion has already been laid solid.
"The way of heaven is supreme. Today, I, Confucius, take Confucianism as the foundation and establish Confucianism to educate all living beings. With the purpose of studying things, gaining knowledge, sincerity, correct mind, self-cultivation, ordering the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world, I will create virtues for all living beings in the three realms.
Make meritorious deeds and establish three paths to immortality; educate and transform all living beings with the way of benevolence and forgiveness, so that they can be enlightened and abide by the principles; take the five teachings of father's righteousness, mother's kindness, brother and friend, brother's respect, son's filial piety and sacrificial rituals as the origin, and the ancestors described the Three Emperors,
Charter of civil and military affairs; with the emperor as the leader, with Confucius as the leader and teacher; with the "Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "The Book of Music", and "Spring and Autumn" as the first of the Confucian collections, the origin of the great religion
; Take the four books "Great Learning", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" as the foundation of education; use the Hongmeng ruler to measure the destiny of Confucianism."
As Confucius opened his mouth, his voice spread throughout the three realms, and Confucian disciples from all over the country recited the magnificent chapter of the prosperous age. Each article was full of lofty intentions, healthy and upward thoughts, and pure and innocent thoughts.
Confucianism's ten philosophers, seventy-two sages, and three thousand disciples, all branches of Confucianism had great fortunes flowing into Confucius. In these schools, academies, and courtyards, streams of awe-inspiring righteousness soared into the sky, causing
The supreme masculine power flowing endlessly between heaven and earth has become a river, vast and steaming with purple energy, gradually embedded in the long river of humanity.
In the place illuminated by this awe-inspiring righteousness, evil retreated, all demons bowed their heads, and countless evil shadows screamed and turned into ashes like residual snow illuminated by the scorching sun. The heaven and earth were solemn, righteousness awe-inspiring, and evil was completely destroyed.
"Damn it, Confucius and Confucianism are indeed our great enemies in the demon world."
In the demon world, Demon Ancestor Luohu and Demon Lord Ancestor Styx, who were unable to stop them, both looked gloomy. Seeing some of the arrangements in the Earthly Immortal Realm disappear into thin air, they felt extremely resentful in their hearts.
It's a pity that Confucius was just at the beginning of his momentum. With the blessing of destiny, the momentum was so majestic that no manpower could handle it. If he was forcibly stopped, it would probably bring a greater crisis to the demon world.
"Haoran's righteousness is supposed to conquer evil and kill demons, and is a serious problem in my demon world. For this reason, I robbed the Hongmeng Purple Energy last time because I didn't want Confucius to become a saint. Unfortunately, it failed now, and the various causes and consequences I owe are entangled.
This makes Confucian righteousness more and more restrained by our demon clan, and it seems that our demon clan is miserable in the human world."
Ancestor Minghe's eyes were filled with coldness. He didn't like the good old man Hongyun to begin with. Now that he has become a saint, Haoran is upright and restrains the demons, his hatred is even deeper.
Luo Hu said coldly: "Fortunately, Haoran's righteousness must be cultivated by those who have profound knowledge, clear admiration, and insight into worldly affairs. Confucianism is a worldly study. Although the foundation is broad, there are not many such disciples. If everyone has Haoran
With righteousness, we in the devil world are really in trouble."
Not only Luo Hu and the ancestors of Ming He were indignant, but the other major forces also had their own troubles. Taoism and Buddhism were also sour and extremely fearful.
Confucianism's philosophy of governing the world is that those who excel in learning will lead to officialdom, and they must realize their ideals and ideals in the court to supplement their spiritual practice. This will inevitably lead to power, which is very detrimental to their missionary work.
The demon clan's Di Hong also had a gloomy face. The Confucian methods and Haoran's righteousness not only restrained the demon clan, but also had a lot of restraint on the demon clan. As for the reason, of course, it was the series of persecutions of the ancestor Hongyun by the demon clan back then. Emperor Hong had many times
Blocking the road can be said to be a source of great suffering and hatred.
These karma debts are too deep, and they are not repaid in time, or even cannot be repaid at all. After being entangled, they eventually transformed into this form, allowing the demon clan to be restrained by Confucianism and forcibly canceling out the karma.
This is the reason why monks in the ancient world are afraid of owing others karma. If they are not repaid in time, firstly, it will affect their cultivation. Secondly, unless the other party is completely wiped out, there is no way to avoid it. There will always be various irresistible consequences for you to pay back.
On the other hand, Buddhists breathed a sigh of relief. Confucius became enlightened, and the cause and effect of his abdication had been cleared up. From then on, Confucianism and Buddhism became equals, and no one owed anything to the other.
Ancestor Kunpeng also received a piece of Confucian luck. This was due to Hongyun causing him to lose his seat and his teaching Cangjie. Although it was offset by his identity as a demon clan, he was not the leader of the demon clan after all. Most of it was still
Settle it with him privately.
As Confucius finished speaking, Heavenly Dao sensed it, and he immediately followed the rules and began to accumulate huge merits. However, Duke Dong did not stop him. After a while, the mass was already huge, more than when the two of them established the religion.
After all, today's Confucianism is much stronger than when Western religion was first established, and the corresponding merits will be much more. After Confucius absorbed the merits, the scattered Hongmeng purple energy suddenly merged into one, and the soul broke through the way of heaven and obtained the origin of the way of heaven.
After the initiation, you will realize the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Path and Fruit in a matter of seconds.
Confucius himself created Chinese characters, created the Eight Diagrams of Houtian, and founded Confucianism. He already has a lot of merits and virtues stored in him. At this time, after becoming a saint, there is still a lot left. He will absorb them all and cultivate to the second level.
"Meet Saint Kong!"
The scene of sanctification is huge. Purple air has traveled thirty thousand miles from the east. A huge shadow stands between heaven and earth. It holds a scroll in its left hand, a Spring and Autumn Pen in its right hand, a sword on its left, a knife in the back, and a ruler suspended in the air, symbolizing Kong.
The old master is both civilized and martial, and pays equal attention to education and precepts.
There are endless visions between heaven and earth, ordinary people are celebrating together, and ordinary beings feel the supreme pressure and bow down one after another.
The Confucian disciples all had tears in their eyes and were excited. After many hardships, Confucianism was finally reborn from the ashes and became a great sect of saints alongside Taoism and Buddhism. From then on, Confucian disciples could also straighten their backs and become scholars.
The master, the Taoist priest, and the monk were finally on equal footing.
