Fu Xianggong had been watching with cold eyes and only smiled at this moment. Fu Bi had always paid close attention to this Chen Ke and never doubted his intelligence, but he could not rest assured because he was too reckless and reckless. How could such a person do anything?
Can we rely on Sheji?
Now, seeing that he had finally matured, Fu Xianggong was relieved. Fu Bi asked himself, not even he had the ability to handle this matter perfectly, but Chen Ke did.
Chen Ke proved that Duke Zhou actually made the Golden Ribbon - this was what the officials were most concerned about; he also proved that the "Shang Shu. Jin Ribbon" was a forgery, which also eliminated the suspicion that he framed the Longchang period. But at the same time,
, and it confirmed Long Changqi's ignorance... This old man who only knew one thing but not the other, only proved that "Shang Shu. Jin Rui" was a forgery, and used it as evidence to declare that Duke Zhou was a traitor. As a result, Chen was
Ke used "Bamboo Book Chronicles" to give him a hard slap in the face.
Now, although Long Changqi's accusation of slandering the sages was not established, because after all, no one knew the content of "The Bamboo Book Annals" before, his attitude towards Duke Zhou was enough to arouse the resentment from the officials to the ministers.
Still want to become a saint immediately? Just dream...
The best thing is that Chen Ke's speeches always focus on the academic issues themselves, are high-spirited and do not cause trouble. Before, in the minds of scholars, he was just a talented man, but with this battle, he can be promoted to a great Confucian!
Although the common people love talented people, in the eyes of the scholar-bureaucrats, they are just fancy people. The real value is the Confucian scholar! The reason is very simple, because the Confucian scholar can explain the classics, and his words are authoritative. Whether you like to listen or not, you have to listen carefully.
…
"What's this?" Walking next to him, Zeng Gongliang twirled his beard and said with a smile: "It's a pity that you have to press gold thread every year, but you make wedding clothes for others?"
"Be careful with your words, be careful with your words." Fu Bi shook his head, but when he looked at Zhao Zongshi, there was still a smile that couldn't be concealed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the banquet, after filling his stomach a little, Zhao Zhen finally couldn't help but ask: "Chen Aiqing, since "Jin Rui" is a forgery, why did Confucius include it in "Shang Shu"?" This is also a question that everyone wants to ask.
As a historian of the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius must have mastered many first-hand historical materials, and it was impossible to write a story based on an epic into the "Book of Documents".
There was silence in the hall, and everyone was waiting for Chen Ke's answer. Unknowingly, this young champion had become a master figure in their hearts.
"This..." Chen Ke quickly stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking nonsense."
"Hahaha," Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "You kid, you are very cautious. I have already said it. In the Yiying Pavilion, those who speak are not guilty."
"Yes," Chen Ke said respectfully: "Actually, the reason is very simple, because the "Shang Shu" handed down today is itself a fake book made by later generations!"
His voice was not loud, but it was like thunder in everyone's ears. Many of the officials and ministers were immediately turned to stone, some accidentally bit their tongues, some accidentally dropped the gold bottles in their hands... In short, they were all stunned.
Already.
What is "Shang Shu"? It is one of the Five Classics of Confucianism and the foundation of the entire Confucian system!
If this had happened during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, don't say anything. Just drag him out and let the matter be over...
But this was in the Song Dynasty, when everyone was aware of the decline of Confucianism, but did not know how to remedy it. At this time, in order to reconstruct a useful ideological system, scholars doubted everything, denied everything, and had long dismissed Han Confucianism
The criticism was worthless. Many people even doubted whether the sages really existed.
Even so, Chen Ke's shocking words still frightened all the officials in the hall. This is a collapse of the worldview...
"Shangshu" is a book that records the royal documents of the Yu, Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. The most original information about the three dynasties comes from "Shangshu". Ministers must refer to the three dynasties in their words and serve Yao and Shun in their affairs. This has become
Their thinking has been fixed. Now Chen Ke says that "Shang Shu" is a fake book. How can you ask the officials to accept it?
If he hadn't previously proved that "Golden Ribbon" was a forgery, the ministers would have gathered together to attack it. But at this moment, everyone was silent and had to wait for him to tell his reasons...
"My dear, did I hear you wrong?" Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "You said that "Shang Shu" was also a forgery by later generations?"
"Yes." Chen Ke nodded and said seriously: "The "Shang Shu" written by the most holy master has been burned by Qin Shihuang. The surviving version has also been lost."
He then explained his reasons one by one...
In fact, the reason why Chen Ke dares to make surprising statements today is because he stands on the shoulders of the giants of later generations. The previous textual research on "Jin Rui" was like this, and the same is true for the analysis of the authenticity of "Shang Shu".
Among the Five Classics of Confucianism, "Shangshu" is the most incomplete and therefore has the most problems. Its original copy was lost during the burning of poems and books in the Qin Dynasty and the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Fu Sheng, who had served as a doctor in the Qin Dynasty,
, it is said that a fragment of "Shang Shu" was first circulated among the people of Qilu. During the reign of Emperor Wen, it was recorded by Chao Cuo and brought back to the court. Because this book was written by Chao Cuo using the popular official script at that time, it was called "Jinwen".
"Shang Shu".
Soon, King Liu Yu of Lu Gong demolished Confucius' old residence in order to expand the palace. A bamboo slip was found in the wall. After being identified by Kong Anguo, a descendant of Confucius, it was found that it was "Shang Shu" written in ancient characters, so it was called "Shang Shu" in ancient Chinese characters. From then on,
Afterwards, which of these two versions of "Shangshu" was the authentic pre-Qin text? A complicated dispute began.
In the Western Han Dynasty, those who believed in the modern version of "Shang Shu" had an absolute advantage. However, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the situation reversed. After the advocacy of Zheng Xuan and other classics masters, the ancient version of "Shang Shu" became increasingly popular, but the modern version of "Shang Shu" seemed dim.
At the end of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, Zheng Xuan's "Notes on Shangshu" of the ancient literary school was not only established among academic officials, but also became popular for a while. The modern "Shangshu" passed down by Fu Sheng lost power and became less popular. After the Yongjia Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty,
It was completely lost.
Soon, another fake ancient Chinese text "Book of Documents" appeared that was claimed to be the authentic version of Kong Anguo. This fake book not only achieved a status parallel to Zheng's "Book of Documents" in a short period of time, but also became more and more popular, crowding out Zheng's notes.
"Shang Shu". Gradually, the ancient text "Shang Shu" since the Eastern Han Dynasty was also lost.
In other words, regardless of whether the ancient "Shang Shu" is true or whether the modern "Shang Shu" is true, by the Three Kingdoms period, both had been lost...
The fake book that succeeded in becoming official was presented by a historian named Mei Ji during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After it appeared, it quickly gained the trust of the academic community, and all the great scholars at that time wrote for it. Chen Dynasty Lu Deming's
"Classic Commentary" uses it as the object of phonetic notation, and Kong Yingda's "Five Classics of Justice" in the Tang Dynasty also uses it as the standard annotation. Therefore, from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty for more than 500 years, it has been recognized as the "Shangshu" of the pre-Qin Dynasty.
》Authentic, no one doubts it.
However, starting from the Southern Song Dynasty, its flaws were exposed. The first ones to attack were Wu Chun and Zhu Xi. They noticed something was wrong, but did not find definite evidence. Later, Wu Cheng of the Yuan Dynasty decisively dismissed Fu Sheng as the present text.
Separating from the pseudo-ancient text, Mei Ji of the Ming Dynasty even found considerable evidence to prove that the ancient text "Shang Shu" was a forgery.
However, we have to wait for the exegetical madmen of the Qing Dynasty, Yan Ruocha and Hui Dong, to find out the conclusive evidence and analyze it in detail to make sure the truth is revealed. Later, Ding Yan even forged the "Shang Shu"
The real criminal Wang Su has been found, and the eternal public case can be concluded.
In Chen Ke's original era, the Tsinghua bamboo slips were rediscovered, proving that the ancient text "Shang Shu" was indeed a forgery, which caused a real sensation. It was at that time that Chen Ke became interested and read Yan Ruochu's "Sparse Evidence of the Ancient Texts of Shangshu"
He Huidong's "An Examination of Ancient Texts and Documents", although my memory in my previous life was not as good as this one, I still have some impressions.
As a result, in this life, when he read "Shang Shu", he always felt unhappy... It had been proven to be a fake book, and it had to be remembered as the truth. It was strange that he felt happy. So while he was reading, he corroborated Yan and Hui's views.
, but it was a lot of fun. Unintentionally, I knew all the loopholes in "Shang Shu".
In addition, he compiled the "Dictionary" and practiced exegesis, which happened to be the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty people... People in the Song Dynasty believed that exegesis was to pick up people's wisdom, and what they paid attention to was understanding! But in debates, exegesis is solid evidence
, so that you have to accept it and cannot argue!
In fact, Chen Ke's original intention was just to steal the show... He initially wanted to disrupt Long Changqi's Jingyan Festival, but he didn't expect that the scene-stealing was too successful. As a result, the Jingyan Banquet in the next month directly became his special performance.
.Zhao Zhen announced that throughout August, he would give lectures on "A Study of Shangshu Apocrypha".
Chen Ke was speechless at that time. I am getting married in August...
However, Zhao Zongji was so excited that he was incoherent, saying that on your wedding day, I will let the official family free up: "Brother, you must live up to your expectations. Now we are no longer dealing with Mr. Long's problems, but we are setting up the banner ourselves!"
In fact, Chen Ke took advantage of Long Changqi's incident to label "Shang Shu" as a fake book, just to raise his own flag. Why do you Wang Anshi, Er Cheng, and Zhou Dunyi dare to do it when you clearly have nothing to show for it?
Founding a sect. I have been studying hard for more than ten years. I still have a mind that spans a thousand years, and I have a steady stream of the essence of world wisdom brought from Arabia. Why don’t I dare to follow the trend?
Even if you can't dominate the world, you can at least abduct a group of believers? Wouldn't it be possible to change the world more profoundly?
Chen Ke really wanted to do this well. He worked day and night, forgetting food and sleep. The three brothers and sisters of the Su family also fully supported him... They had grown up with him since they were young, so naturally they were no stranger to his methods.
Three outstanding brains, working together to assist him, used meticulous and precise research to prove the authenticity of the ancient "Book of Documents" irrefutably before everyone's eyes. When he even found out that the author of the Mei version of "Book of Documents" was Wang Su.
, those great Confucian scholars, the high officials and great Confucians, what else can they do besides listening like primary school students?
However, Chen Ke also knew that too much is not enough. He only expressed that there were problems with the modern version of "Shang Shu" that was separated from "Shang Shu", but he did not give a conclusion as to which part was true and which part was false.
