Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 436 The Strangler of Ideas

In the Han Palace, Fang Jun didn't give his brother-in-law a good look, and he didn't say a word about his brother-in-law's plea, and immediately got up and left.

However, when he returned to Zhuangzi, he still ordered his personal entourage, so that he would use the caravan traveling to and from the Western Regions to send a letter to the people in Chimu Hague tomorrow morning, so that he could take care of the caravan in Prince Han's Mansion.The wine industry association was Fang Jun's idea for Chimu Hague and others to monopolize high-end grape brewing. How could these people not listen to him?Not to mention that the huge winery will start construction in Gaochang after the beginning of spring, and the quality of the grapes will be improved to an unprecedented height. Fang Jun's name is in the Western Regions, and it is a well-known golden sign...

Fang Jun was so tossed that day that his feet didn't touch the ground, and when he got home, he was sleepy to death.

Of course, before going to bed, she still held Wu Meiniang's pretty face and looked at it for a while to see if she had slipped into the wrong bed again. As for whether to worry or look forward to it, only God knows...

In the early morning of the next day, after washing up and having breakfast, I went out in a carriage to go to work in the Ministry of Rites.

As soon as he entered the duty room, Kong Yingda sent someone to call him over.

With a helpless face, Lao Kong handed a scroll of yellow scrolls on the table to Fang Jun, and sighed, "Your Majesty has issued a decree to set up prefectural schools in each of the 320 provinces, [-] and eight prefectures in the world to gather students from all over the world and teach Confucian classics. At the same time, all localities were ordered to rely on government schools to establish government schools, and at the same time to educate the people, they also took on the important task of organizing the imperial examinations. The specific imperial examination system was optimized and improved on the basis of the previous Sui Dynasty, and it was regarded as the law of all generations, which will be followed by generations."

Speaking of which, this is an extraordinary political task. Once the imperial examination system is established, it can be passed on to future generations, and it can be named in the history and become an official's highest achievement!

But Lao Kong's fame has already reached its peak all over the world. This move is just icing on the cake for him, but it takes a lot of energy, so he is not very keen.

Fang Jun shook his head and said, "The world changes with time, and there has never been an easy way in this world. It is undeniable that there will always be some amazing people in this world who are amazing and unparalleled in the world. I want to find a big principle that can measure the world and serve as a yardstick for the past and the present, and then tell everyone, do as I say, as long as you do as I say, you will definitely be able to achieve the world's great harmony... These principles are in line with the era in which they appeared, It also represents those sages' thinking about the world and their efforts to save the world. It seems that everyone has seen a wonderful fairy mountain, and some of them have taken the first step up the mountain. They are not wrong, at least, their intentions It's good……"

Kong Yingda was speechless, he didn't understand what Fang Jun was going to say, but he could hear what he said, not only the sages, but even the most holy teacher Confucius...

"However, the step they took, one of the countless paths up the mountain, was proclaimed by all those with ulterior motives as the only correct step, and regarded it as the hard way in the world. The first step taken by those sages is progress, which is It is indisputable, but the descendants are forced to continue to study the magic of this step on the step they took, as if this step has already reached the fairy mountain, and they dare not take a new step. It has become complacent, even a prison and a yoke.”

Fang Jun looked at Kong Yingda, his eyes were bright, and he said: "These people have gradually formed a class, holding the power of the whole country, so the truth they believe in is getting more and more correct, from the beginning. It is correct. In the later Weiyan Dayi, even every word is correct. Not only is it correct, but it should be passed on to future generations. It cannot be changed, and it will never be easy. If anyone feels that something is wrong, then there is no doubt that it must be You're wrong, if you don't know what's wrong, then think for yourself until you think it's right."

Kong Yingda frowned, stared at Fang Jun, and said in a deep voice: "Your remarks are so shocking and deviant, you can just talk about it here. If you spread it out, it will definitely arouse public opinion, so be careful."

This is kindness, it is Kong Yingda's love for Fang Jun.

What are saints?That is, every word spoken is right, every thought is right, and even every word written is right!Future generations can only study, cherish, and worship the words and books written by the sages with infinite admiration, but not the slightest doubt and disobedience!
The charcoal basin in the duty room was burning vigorously, and the incense charcoal was blown brightly and dimly by the cold wind leaking in from the crack of the door, making a soft "peeling" sound.

Fang Jun stretched his waist, leaned his upper body on the back of the chair, and said with a smile: "Look, this is the face of you Confucian children. Your most holy teacher is the eternal truth, and everyone has to believe in it. He, he is always right and never makes mistakes. If anyone dares to question, then congratulations, you have become the enemy of all Confucian children. These guys who firmly hold the unquestionable truths spoken by the sages more than 1000 years ago will surely gather together And attacking it will destroy your body and spirit, and you will not be tolerated in the world!"

Having said this, Fang Jun leaned in front of Kong Yingda and asked, "Old Kong, when you kill all the thoughts of human beings, will you feel a trace of sadness and a trace of shame?"

A hundred flowers contend is spring.

Since Dong Zhongshu's "reject a hundred schools of thought, and respect Confucianism" was adopted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the thinking of the Chinese nation has been put on heavy shackles. If you want to survive, you have to follow the pace of Confucianism forever...

The core ideology of Confucianism is excellent, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trust, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, and morality. These can build the most fundamental values ​​of human society, but they have been deleted and tampered with by all those with ulterior motives, and become rulers. Tools of the people.It is true that Confucianism has played a great role in maintaining the stability of governance, but these Confucianisms, which have been castrated and tampered with, have caused the entire nation to pay a series of evil consequences such as lack of progress, self-styledness, and rigid thinking.

When people manage the world more than 1000 years later with the social thinking of more than 1000 years ago, they fall behind and are beaten until they are abandoned by the whole world, it is naturally a matter of course...

"In this world, there has never been any law that is not easy for all eternity. Only by adapting measures to local conditions and advancing with the times! The law of the Shang and Zhou dynasties brought chaos to the world, and the current law, if it continues, will be abandoned by society. Selection, survival of the fittest, this is the law of the world, every theory, every thought, every law must be constantly improved according to the development of society, this is a true sage and What should be done. Sell your soul to the ruler, to help the ruler to stifle all different ideas, let the people like mules and animals dare not think and do to achieve the stability of the rule, and the executioner has something to do with it. What's the difference?"

Poor old Kong was stunned...

He has lived for so many years, and has been studying Confucianism all his life, but now some people call him an executioner who kills ideas. How can he bear it?

The shock is too great!
Kong Yingda is a true Confucian and a perfect Confucian disciple, so he actually understands how narrow the limitations of Confucianism are.

Otherwise, why was the Confucian doctrine, which was regarded as the standard by all dynasties, was regarded as scornful and dismissed by all countries before Confucius was alive?
In fact, not only Kong Yingda understands this problem, but many Confucians understand it.

But they don't say...

Why?Simply because they are all vested interests.

As long as you believe in Confucianism, you will gain the trust of the rulers, and you will gain both fame and fortune through promotion.And the ruler doesn't really care about Confucianism or not, as long as your set of ideas can make the people honestly stay at home and study knowledge, don't think about those things that don't exist all day long, and do those unthinkable things, then I just support you...

Under such circumstances, whoever dares to question Confucianism is going against the world!Everyone expects to learn the way of Confucius and Mencius, to be promoted to the upper class of society, to participate in the class of rulers, to obtain fame and fortune...

The duty room was silent.

Fang Jun stretched his waist, looked at Kong Yingda who was dumbfounded, and smiled brightly: "It's much more comfortable to vent. Then what, let's study the system of this imperial examination..."
