Li Ru felt unhappy when he was opposed by Supervisor Zhuo Long just now.
At this moment, Supervisor Zhuo Long spoke again, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
Dong Zhuo was a rough and uncivilized figure. As Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Li Ru basically took care of the government affairs of the court.
Although he is not proud, he gradually has a sense of respecting his identity.
At this time, in front of all the ministers in the court, he was repeatedly contradicted by a small official worth 400 yuan, and he couldn't stand it.
His face darkened, "The White Tiger Tongyi is just an ordinary book. Could it be that the dignified Imperial Master and Taishi Ling can't even read this book?"
Zhuolong listened and said in disbelief, "How can "White Tiger Tongyi" be an ordinary classic? This is a classic written by countless scholars. Even if it is said to be a masterpiece of modern texts, it is not an exaggeration.
"
Li Ru sneered after hearing this and said, "You also said that this is the culmination of modern literature, but have you forgotten that modern literature focuses on inheritance, while the ancient literature school focuses on classics. You use the pedantic remarks of the ancient literature school to defend modern literature.
Isn’t it ridiculous that we have modern texts? Do you agree with modern texts or ancient texts?”
Awesome!
Yu Xian listened to it and was really convinced!
This Li Ru is indeed a sinister guy.
Unknowingly, the official from Zhuolong Prison was brought into the pit.
Among modern and ancient texts, one focuses on lectures and word-of-mouth transmission, while the other goes straight to the source and seeks truth from classics. Both regard the other as a heresy and want to get rid of it quickly.
As a Confucian scholar who has cultivated the five-color divine light, how could Li Ru not know the key to this?
If Zhuo Longjian insists that the oral tradition of Jinwen school is correct, then there is nothing to worry about even if there is no annotation or a classic narrated by a great scholar.
If Zhuo Longjian believed that the theory of the ancient literature school going straight to the origin was correct, then a collection of the culmination of the modern literature school would be fallacious in itself, and there would be nothing to be wary of.
As expected, the official at Zhuolong Prison was left speechless by Li Ruwen.
Li Ru ordered in a cold tone, "Let's just stay at Baihu Temple, and the matter will be settled."
The official at Zhuolong Prison was blushing when Li Ru retorted, but he couldn't make any sense.
I had to retreat slowly.
Li Ru glanced at Taishi Ling Wang Li and said, "Taishi Ling, we haven't led the imperial masters to Baihu Temple to rest and prepare for the sacrifice to heaven."
Wang Li responded quickly.
At Li Ru's signal, a small yellow gate came forward and guided Yu Xian and Wang Li out of the Quefei Hall.
After a while, the young official from Zhuolong Prison also rushed out.
He first bowed his hands to Yu Xian and Wang Li, and said awkwardly, "I don't mean to offend you two because of my humble position, it's just..."
Yu Xian smiled lightly and didn't take it to heart.
This is just a nerd whose brain has been ruined by Confucianism.
Wang Li asked with a smile, "What is your name and who do you belong to?"
The young official from Zhuolong Prison replied, "My humble name is Shen Yue, and he is a disciple of Duanmu Baxiang, a great scholar of the time."
The feeling of superiority on Wang Li's face immediately disappeared after hearing this.
He was surprised and said, "It turns out he is a disciple of Master Duanmu."
Duanmu Xiang's preface was written by a great Confucian of the time who was as famous as Kong Rong.
One of these two people is a descendant of Zigong, and the other is a descendant of Confucius. They are true scholars.
The Confucian family is quite special. There are people doing both modern classics and ancient classics.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Kong Anguo, Kong, Kong, Kong Yan, etc. all focused on studying "Guwenshangshu".
Kong Wu, Kong Yannian, Kong Ba, Kong Guang and others mainly studied "Jinwen Shangshu".
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Kong family changed their major again and began to study "Spring and Autumn".
Kong Rong's father, Kong Zhou, majored in "Yan's Spring and Autumn Annals", and brothers Kong Rong, Kong Fen, and Kong Qi majored in "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals".
Duanmuxiang relied on his family's academic background and became famous for his modern writings.
Although Wang Li did not worship Duanmu Xiang, he still respected him very much.
After Wang Li and Shen Yue chatted for a few words, they realized that their words were unreasonable.
Wang Li had already turned to Dong Zhuo's side, which made Shen Yue, a young and energetic scholar, look down upon.
The two of them stopped talking.
Soon, under the leadership of Xiao Huangmen, we arrived at Xiyuan.
Wang Li and Shen Yue had nothing to talk about, so they had to focus on Yu Xian.
Seeing Yu Xian looking around with interest, he took the initiative to introduce it, "When the late emperor was here, he liked Xiyuan the most. The soldiers and horses of the Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan were also stationed here."
Yu Xian glanced around and asked with a smile, "I heard that the late emperor loved listening to roosters the most, and he set up a rooster hall in the Xiyuan. I don't know where it is?"
"Chicken Cing Hall?" Wang Li was a little surprised, "I didn't expect that the Imperial Master, a person from outside the country, would know so much about the affairs in the palace."
Yu Xian smiled and said, "I just like to inquire about some strange things."
Wang Li smiled, and he could understand this. After all, everyone has a tendency to gossip.
This is no secret either.
Wang Li pointed to the southwest, "It can't be seen from here. I'm afraid it will take a while to see it."
Yu Xian glanced in that direction and said casually, "I heard from Li Su that there is a rooster there that is quite psychic. I would like to go and see it when I have time."
Wang Li laughed after hearing this.
"I'm afraid we have to wait until after the sacrifice to heaven. We have to stay in the White Tiger Temple for these three days, fast and pray, and cultivate our moral character."
Yu Xian was moved when he heard this and took the opportunity to inquire, "I heard from Prime Minister just now that you will be responsible for all the arrangements for this matter. I wonder if there is anything I need to pay attention to."
Wang Li smiled bitterly upon hearing this.
"If we were to offer sacrifices to heaven as in the past, there would naturally be a lot of procedures to go through. But as you can see today's posture, the Prime Minister hopes that the Imperial Master will take action as soon as possible to deal with the Taoist Banshan Taoist. Now our procedures can be as simple as possible
Simple. Speaking of which, there’s really nothing to pay attention to.”
When Wang Li saw Yu Xian, he lowered his head and said nothing.
But he said something good from Dong Zhuo's point of view, "No matter what, it is better to have this sacrifice to heaven and get the help of the luck of the Han Dynasty than to deal with Banshan Taoist with bare hands. Although the Prime Minister was a little anxious,
But there’s nothing we can do about it.”
Yu Xian hummed.
Then he asked, "Then when it comes to offering sacrifices to heaven, besides you and me, who else will appear at the scene?"
Wang Li said very firmly after hearing this.
"The emperor will definitely come for such a big event, and even Dong Xiangguo will not neglect it. As long as these two show up, other civil and military officials in the court will surely come to watch the ceremony."
After all, offering sacrifices to heaven is a highly political matter.
What's more, the imperial master whom Yu Xian worshiped was not just some soy sauce.
Yu Xian looked at Wang Li and asked casually, "We are offering sacrifices to God in the city. If there is any strange phenomenon, wouldn't it be shocking to the world?"
