Whether Confucianism is powerful or not is an interesting topic.
If we talk about fighting with real swords and spears on the battlefield, then Confucianism will definitely be at the bottom of the three religions, and it is not even worth mentioning. But if we talk about discussion and influence, Confucianism is very powerful. After all, Confucianism has already dominated the world
The rules have been established for two thousand years.
Zhang Yuelu started a big debate about the spirit of "equality" this time. His original intention was just to divert attention, and the scope of the discussion was limited to civil matters.
But she didn't expect that Qin Lingge and other Confucian sects had evil intentions and took this opportunity to directly shift the focus from "what is equality" to "should there be equality?" This broke away from the so-called civil category and came to the Taoist sect.
Well, to put it more seriously, this is shaking the foundation of the country.
Zhang Yuelu must also give corresponding refutation, otherwise it will be her fault.
Qin Lingge also wrote an article to further elaborate on his point of view based on the previous article: "People do not need this false equality, they need rules and protection. What they need is order. Whether it is rules or order, there must be hierarchies. This is the rule of law.
.A snake cannot survive without a head. To establish rules and order, it also needs a leader to protect and restrain the people, that is the king. Heaven and earth are the embodiment of the rules of heaven, and the king is the embodiment of the rules of humanity, so it is called the king of heaven and earth, the king, the master."
Subsequently, Zhang Yuelu publicly wrote an article in Qingping Bookstore's Di newspaper refuting Qin Lingge.
"Equality is actually a manifestation of fairness, and it is also human nature. Do princes, generals, and ministers have a certain kind? The inner core of this sentence is equality. Are those princes, generals, and ministers necessarily nobler than us?"
"In the context of Confucianism, it is justified for the king to oppress the people and it is justified for the officials to exploit the people because of the principles and principles. However, it is unreasonable for the people to rebel because the latter disrupts the principles and principles and is a treason."
"This is the reason why Taoism proposes 'equality'. There are many reasons, but in the final analysis, it is one sentence. It is reasonable for people to resist oppression and exploitation, and it is reasonable to rebel. Therefore, Confucianism calls various acts of rebellion "Heaven and Earth"
Whether it is closed or not, rebellion is chaos, it is rebellion, and it is wrong from beginning to end. But our Taoist sect calls it an uprising, which is an act of conforming to the way of heaven, reforming the old, and reforming, and it is naturally just."
"Perhaps there were various mistakes and chaos during the uprising, but it is undeniable that the uprising itself was a helpless move by the people at the bottom after they could no longer survive. It is undeniable that it is naturally just. This is the origin of 'equality'
, everyone is equal, so when others bully us, we can resist, which is just. In essence, everyone is equal, why do you oppress me?"
"But if you have a level and recognize it, you will become the best parent in the world.
Everyone below is a king and father. Since the king and father must be right, then oppression becomes a matter of course, and resistance becomes a mistake. Because the king, the king, the ministers, the father, the son, the son, it is only right for me to oppress you, and even become what you were born to be.
Oppressive.”
"For the past two hundred years, Taoism has strived to make the concept of 'equality' deeply rooted in people's hearts. Breaking the rules is to give everyone the legitimate rights to resist oppression. Is it wrong?"
As soon as Zhang Yuelu's article came out, it shocked the whole world.
If Qin Lingge is challenging the "equality" foundation of Taoism, then Zhang Yuelu is challenging the foundation of imperial power. It's like two people who only attack but not defend, each holding a sharp sword and stabbing at the other's weakness.
Daxuan's Minister of Rites immediately lodged a protest with the Taoist sect and demanded severe punishment for Zhang Yuelu.
Even within the Taoist sect, there are many opinions. Many people criticize Zhang Yuelu's position as very problematic. If it continues to develop, the consequences will be terrible.
Many people are also sweating for Zhang Yuelu. Of course, this kind of statement cannot be wrong, but it also depends on who is saying it. For Xuansheng, there is no problem, and it will even be regarded as a golden rule. You, a junior
Are you really not afraid of losing your head?
At the top of the Taoist sect, the Heavenly Master was the first to express his opinion. There were only four words, that is, "the speaker is not guilty."
Master Jiang Dazhen also said, “Taoism has never been punished for words.”
Shi DaZhen said more specifically: "This is just an argument, a discussion, a debate, just a collision and discussion of two different ideas, and it is all about the past, not the present, and is different from the actual situation.
What’s relevant is that it has nothing to do with national policy, politics, or the system. Theoretically speaking, equality and Gangchang are like yin and yang, which are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. Without equality, how can Gangchang be reflected? Without Gangchang, how can equality be manifested?”
This seemed to set a tone, and the dispute on the Taoist side was temporarily subsided.
But this debate has not stopped and continues to ferment.
This allowed Zhang Yuelu to achieve his original goal, and no one would care about a baseless report.
once having seen the best, the rest is not worthwhile looking.
The great masters and great masters here almost ended the debate in person, so who cares about other trivial matters? Maybe it was a big matter originally, but in comparison, it is just a trivial matter.
But Zhang Yuelu is more or less still
She was a little scared. She didn't expect that the Confucian people would seize such an opportunity to cause trouble. If it really got out of control, the consequences would be disastrous.
It was not Zhang Yuelu's original intention to argue with Qin Lingge. While writing the article, she also ordered people to find out the true situation of this report as soon as possible, and to find out the truth before the heat of the big debate completely subsided.
Of course, it is not just Zhang Yuelu who will make efforts, Xu Jiaorong will also take action. The second deputy masters of the two major mansions will jointly conduct a thorough investigation, and nothing will be found. The key is that Qi Xuansu did not do these things, although he fell into
In the dilemma of self-proving innocence, it is not necessary to verify all the reports in this kind of report letter. As long as one or two key points are proven to be false, the report letter can be completely denied.
In fact, the purpose of this report is not to bring down Qi Xuansu, but to ruin Qi Xuansu's reputation. Qi Xuansu is already young and high-ranking. If these things happen again, no matter whether they are true or false, people will treat him as a "prince".
Once the characters are connected and an inherent stereotype is formed, even if it can be proven that the report is false, it is no longer important.
Therefore, when Zhang Yuelu took the huge risk of affecting his future and successfully diverted his attention, the difficulty was already halfway over.
Therefore, Zhang Yuelu is not just Qi Xuansu's Taoist companion, she is also Qi Xuansu's staunch ally. Being a Taoist companion is easy, but being an ally is not that simple.
On the other side, Qi Xuansu didn't know that so many things were happening outside. He and Qi Jiayao were hiding from the blood moon in a small camp.
This is an abandoned camp, deserted. However, as the blood moon rises, the dead camp suddenly becomes alive, and black shadows appear one after another.
Qi Jiayao was well-informed and said, "The world of shadow has eroded the real world, and the two have begun to merge."
According to Westerners, there is a concept called "subspace". In fact, the cave is a huge subspace. In most cases, subspace is actually parallel to reality. Only in rare cases
, will it overlap with reality. In the history of Daomen, large-scale spatial overlap has only occurred once, and that was the landing of the Kunlun Cave. It is said to be a landing, but in fact it is the overlap of the Kunlun Cave and the real world.
Just because the Kunlun Cave is too huge, the entire recombination process has become extremely long, taking hundreds of years. Therefore, the area of the Kunlun Cave is constantly shrinking. When it is completely overlapped, the Kunlun Cave will completely disappear.
Lingshan Cave itself is the Asian space in the Western concept
During the period, Qi Jiaoyao said that the world of shadows has eroded the real world. The "real world" here undoubtedly refers to the Lingshan Cave Heaven where they are located, not the human world. In fact, it makes sense. Giant caves such as Kunlun Cave Heaven and Lingshan Cave Heaven
, there are secondary cave heavens. The big cave heaven is attached to the human world, and the small cave heaven is attached to the big cave heaven. The so-called "shadow world" here is actually a secondary cave heaven attached to the Lingshan cave heaven.
As a high-quality Taoist priest who has studied in Wanxiang Taoist Palace three times, Qi Xuansu certainly understands these concepts. There is no need for Qi Jiaoyao to explain too much. He said, "It seems that we have entered the realm of Wuzhen."
Qi Jiaoyao said, "Wu Ji was the first to die in battle. In the first battle when the Tianshi Sect attacked Lingshan, Wu Ji was the only one killed on the spot. After Wu Ji's death, the suppression against her was the most severe. Again.
In addition, Yao Zu has completely transformed her, so as long as we have the third-level authority of Jian Xiushan, there will be no danger. But Wu Zhen is different, she has probably not been transformed, so she is very dangerous."
Qi Xuansu asked, "How did you get there before?"
Qi Jiaoyao replied, "Although Yaozu did not modify Wuzhen's remains, he built a Hongqiao here. The blood moon appears every sixty years. Whether I go to Lingshan or come back from Lingshan, I always take the Hongqiao.
There are still dozens of days until Hongqiao appears next time, do you want to wait?"
Qi Xuansu shook his head, "I don't have that much time, so I won't wait any longer."
The Heavenly Master gave him three hundred days, which seemed to be very generous, but the key was Lingshan, which was only on the outskirts of Lingshan now, so a certain amount of leeway must be left in advance. He could not wait here for dozens of days.
As the two of them were talking, there were more and more shadows outside, and even in the temple where they were, there was a shadow.
Judging from its outline, it should be a member of the witchcraft religion, worshiping devoutly to the totem in the temple.
Qi Xuansu and Qi Jiayao then looked at this figure and heard him murmur to himself: "Supreme Human Emperor, the four ancestral witches conspired to kill the leader you appointed. This move really led to disaster.
The Heavenly Master Sect is coming."
"The Celestial Master Sect claims to serve heaven and practice the Tao. You are the Emperor of Humanity and the Emperor of Heaven. Is it your will to destroy the Witch Sect?"
"If it was your will and we didn't participate in the murder of the leader, what crime would we be guilty of? If it wasn't your will, where should we go?"
"The past human emperor and the present emperor of heaven, please send us your decree and guide us in the future."
"Chapter 2 will be much later, so I suggest you not wait any longer."
