Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1723 Finding the Root
"Ancient prose, modern prose..." Wei Duan sighed, shook his head, and said, "I have strictly ordered my family not to participate in this controversy! This hussar is so generous! Such a generous!"

After experiencing several incidents, Wei Duan became a little scared. Seeing the turmoil in Chang'an City, it was like the eve of the storm. He knew that his weight might not be enough. After discussing with Du Ji, as soon as they met, they first expressed their position.

Du Ji was a little appreciative, but also a little surprised. What he praised was that Wei Duan finally saw it clearly, and he was also surprised that he saw it clearly this time...

Du Ji felt that based on his knowledge of General Hussars during this period of time, General Hussars could not just focus on the "modern text" and "ancient text", but had more and deeper intentions.

"Uncle, is it possible that General Hussar's move is to sweep away Confucianism?" Wei Duan said after being silent for a moment, with some doubts.

"Confucianism..." Du Ji clapped his hands and sighed, "In today's world, who are the children of Confucianism? What is Confucianism? It's just the words of Confucius who pretend to be wrong! It's time to clean up!"

Wei Duan nodded and said: "But what General Hussars did is no different from..." Halfway through, Wei Duan finally swallowed the second half of the sentence. , it became a sigh.

"The truth is the right way..." Du Ji was silent for a moment, "This matter is easy to say, but difficult to do!"

Confucianism, many people in later generations think that Confucianism has inheritance and classics, just like Buddhism and Taoism, you can trace schools and investigate the roots, but unfortunately, the roots of Confucianism cannot be seen or investigated.

The disciples of Confucius are known as 72, and the origin is very complicated.

At that time, Confucius, Kong Zhongni, may have really taught without discrimination, or he was just trying to collect more pork heads. Anyway, among the apprentices he accepted at that time, there were common people, some descendants of nobles, and even some sneaky people who jumped into the gods. Among the disciples, some disappeared into history in obscurity, while others founded sects.But what is interesting is that many of these founders were not recognized by later generations of Confucian children, and they do not think that these people are all Confucian.

Just like Confucius' disciple Zixia, during the Warring States Period, the Wei State was able to be strong because of the support of the Xihe School headed by Zixia. However, many descendants of Confucianism believed that Zixia was not Confucianism, but Legalism. Because the "Fa Jing" came from Zixia's Xihe School, and later Shang Yang's reform was based on the "Fa Jing".He didn't even talk about Zixia's success in Confucian classics, as if he hadn't done anything other than being a disciple of Confucius...

The Confucian schools are chaotic, and each has its own differences. This kind of chaos continues all the way.Although later Confucianism, no matter whether it was Zhu or Wang, created a new scene, but neither Wang nor Zhu could completely integrate into one place on the basis of chaos and establish a A complete system can only be based on selecting some articles from the Confucian classics that match one's own ideas and intentions as the program.

On the one hand, Confucian children criticize other people and other schools of thought, on the other hand, they unceremoniously took other people's things into their arms, and declared that they were originally their own, which is quite a bit of the demeanor of later generations, or that later generations Did Bangzi learn the spirit of Confucianism?

So speaking of it, Confucianism is more like a hot pot. You can put all the ingredients in it, some with beef, mutton and vegetables, and some with stinky tofu and durian...

Many people in later generations talk about it and only say that Confucianism has inherited Chinese culture. Confucianism is not entirely responsible for its achievements, and there are even achievements of Legalism, Taoism, and Buddhism, but these schools are not as loud as the children of Confucianism.

It is undeniable that Confucianism has made contributions, but it cannot deny the contributions of others.

"Seek the truth, seek the truth..." Du Ji suddenly said, "If you don't seek the modern and ancient texts, but the original scriptures of Kong Zhongni..."

Wei Duan was stunned.

If all these foundations of Confucianism are uncovered, and then the "true" Confucian classics, isn't there only one Analects left?It is true that all the Six Classics were compiled by Confucius, but it can be said that the articles of the world were compiled, so do all the articles of the world belong to the editor?
Confucius is the editor of the Six Classics, not the creator!
Although it seems that Sima Hui is only talking about seeking the truth and seeking truth, not falsehood, it seems that he is only targeting the false words in the current Jinwen Confucianism, but what happens next?If you touch it all the way, you must know that the lotus looks beautiful and noble on the water, but the roots...

Wei Duan shuddered, this matter was too big to touch.

Du Ji glanced at Wei Duan, and some disdain flashed in his eyes.Aren't you usually very bold, doing this and that, but when you encounter a big event, you immediately shrink back, and you really don't know whether you should call it bold or cowardly.

The two fell silent, and neither spoke.

Wei Duan's eyes were full of worry, but Du Ji's eyes sparkled, as if looking forward...

...(=ω)(=＿=)...

Is Fei Qian really as far-sighted as Du Ji and others imagined?

It's a pity, no, Fei Qian really didn't plan to lift Kong Zhongni's underpants as Du Ji Weiduan thought...

Fei Qian just felt that Huaxia could not follow the old path before, and should be able to go further and wider!

If you want to go further, you can't be too feudal.It's not that you can't be feudal, but that you can't seal it too tightly, causing even your own feet to be twisted and deformed...

Therefore, it is necessary to take advantage of the present to separate Confucianism, and not allow the relationship between Confucianism and the landlord class to be so close that it will be impossible to separate the harmony of the later dynasties, so that the feudalism of China will be completely circled on the landlord class. Can't get out.

In the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was highly respected. In the eyes of the common people, the children who studied Confucian scriptures were naturally noblemen and gentlemen, but in fact, ordinary people did not know what these gentlemen were like. The children also maintained a relative tacit understanding, and would not tell ordinary people what the truth is.

The rise of Confucianism was accompanied by the emerging landlord class. These landlord classes shouted for "benevolent government", "freedom" and "equality", but like most classes in history, what they talked about , In fact, it is his own "benevolent government", "freedom" and "equality".

In order to overthrow the old aristocrats left over from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the emerging landlord class of course needs a theoretical basis to say that they are implementing a better "benevolent government" than those old aristocrats, which belong to true "freedom" and "equality"...

Just like advertisements belong to advertisements, curative effects belong to curative effects, and Confucian advertisements are "benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and trustworthiness".Shouting too much, like a mentally disabled gold, the common people really think that it can cure all diseases.

Fei Qian always thought that Confucianism was Confucianism, but with the deepening of his understanding, he now believes that in the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was becoming Confucianism, and it was not others but the Han Dynasty itself that inspired the final transformation of Confucianism. the emperor himself.

Especially the scourge of party imprisonment.

A party ban that has lasted for more than ten years has devastated the scholars of Confucian classics all over the world, and made them understand that the power of tongue is not so easy to use, and what is more important is swords and guns. So after the party ban, they desperately wanted to snatch it. Swords and guns, even at the expense of belittling warriors to ensure their control.

I have to say that these people are still very good at summing up lessons.

In the age of Confucius, why did you travel around, hungry and full?It is because Confucius respected Zhou and wanted to restore the situation of the collapse of ritual and music, but the princes of all places would not listen, so Confucius was always unpopular.

By the time of Mencius, he had learned to be smarter, and instead of talking about Zhou etiquette, he talked about the ways of making the country rich and the army strong. Naturally, some meat was eaten, but Mencius also said that the people valued the king more than the king, so it was not safe to eat meat.

So Xunzi went a step further, saying that human nature is inherently evil, and Mencius's method is not good enough. If laws and regulations should be used to restrain the evil of human nature, then who will restrain and who will enforce it?Of course, people can do their best, but what if they can't?Qin Shihuang smiled happily and said that what Comrade Xunzi said was very reasonable, and your disciple is also a good comrade. Come, let me read your book...

So in the earliest days, Confucianism and Legalism were all the same, they were just the governance concepts adopted by the rulers, and their identities were the same, there was no special distinction, no difference between upper and lower.

Just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when he wanted to wipe his butt, he felt that Dong Zhongshu's was comfortable, so he took it out and threw it away when he was done using it.But the Confucians are not satisfied with being just a tool, they endure the dirt on their faces, like a lotus flower, blooming beautiful flowers from the mud, changing from a tool to holding a tool...

Before the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was a class that mastered knowledge. It was the same thinker as Taoism and Legalism. It provided governance strategies and was related to politics, but not closely. After the Han Dynasty, Confucianism gradually evolved into Confucianism. Those in power have even become the political class themselves.

The so-called one person attains the Tao and ascends to heaven.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty put on himself the sacred halo of the Son of Heaven, and then he did not expect that the chickens and dogs around him also ascended to the sky.If you want "Confucianism" to become "Confucianism" in the end, you must first break the "sacred" BUFF that covers Confucian classics. It has become Fei Qian's focus now.

Of course, things have to be done little by little. It is impossible to say "time flies like an arrow and the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle" to complete the work summary on behalf of the representative...

The first person to meet now is Liu Qi.

"Mr. Liu, long time no see, are you all right?"

Fei Qian found out that this sentence is actually very useful, just like later generations will ask if they have eaten when they meet, no matter whether the place of asking is in front of the restaurant or inside the toilet.

What can Liu Qi say?I'm sick, do you have any medicine?All he could do was chuckle, bowing his hands in an awkward yet polite way, "I've seen General Hussars."

Fei Qian introduced to Liu Qi again, pointed to Pang Tong and said, "This is Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan..."

"Ah, ah, I have met Mr. Pang." Liu Qi hurriedly turned around to pay respects to Pang Tong.

Pang Tong laughed out the folds of the black bun, "It's easy to say, easy to say, Mr. Liu is still as handsome as before!"

Liu Qi didn't know it was a trap, so he subconsciously asked, "Huh? Mr. Pang has met someone before?"

Pang Tong laughed twice and said: "In Xiangyang in the past, I saw Mr. Liu returning from hunting in the west, and he was full of majesty. Today, I can see him, and his demeanor is even better than before!"

"Uh..." Liu Qi squeezed out a smile in embarrassment, not knowing how to respond, so he simply didn't answer.

Fei Qian pretended not to hear, and kindly asked Liu Qi to sit down.Don't think that Pang Tong and Liu Qi have any enmity, or that they have such malicious intentions, but Fei Qian's will.The high-ranking person expressed his kindness, and then the confidants around him beat him up. This was originally a rule in the workplace, not just how generous Fei Qian was, and how small-minded Pang Tong was.

You can't let Fei Qian ridicule and beat, and then let Pang Tong show generosity and care, right?
Fei Qian first asked some irrelevant questions about Liu Qi's living conditions, etc., and then said: "I invite Mr. Liu to come here today. The first is to apologize. A certain matter is cumbersome and I can't take care of Mr. Liu. It is better to hit the sun if you choose a day." I will make up for it today! Second, a great sage just happened to come from Jingxiang, so I would like to invite Mr. Liu to meet with you..."

Who is Daxian?

Of course it was Wang Can.

It can't be said that Fei Qian was suspicious, but it's just because the plate is big now, and it just happened that Liu Qi surrendered to Chang'an just now, and then Wang Can left Jingxiang to come here...

The key point is that when Wang Can came, he happened to find a lot of homophones among the gathered gentry children, and he greatly agreed with the matter of welcoming Emperor Han. It seemed that everyone sympathized with the tragic experience of Emperor Han. Weeping bitterly and wanting to replace them with their own bodies, the angry and high-spirited everyone seems to be a hero who will save Emperor Han from fire and water.

This really made Fei Qian a little embarrassed.

Now is the time for Fei Qian to promote various reform measures, so why did Emperor Han come?If Emperor Han is really ushered in, although Emperor Han may not understand the significance of Fei Qian's promotion of these reform measures, it does not prevent Emperor Han from singing a different tune to Fei Qian at any time. Abandoned in vain?

Neither is a good choice.

Fei Qian wants to see now, is there any connection between Liu Qi and Wang Can, or is it just a coincidence?
