Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2517 What you choose will bring you (add more)

In Qinglong Temple, some discordant voices came out.

This discordant sound is somewhat accidental, but it is also inevitable.

Zheng Xuan has a problem...

As long as a person is not in the world of gods and monsters and does not have the so-called unparalleled skills, there is a high probability that he will not be able to compare with a group of people.

Either by hand or by mouth.

Confucius proved this hundreds of years ago.

At the beginning, Confucius said by himself, his voice was too low, and no one listened to him, so he thought hard, and began to recruit disciples, and then there were sages72 and three thousand disciples, so he traveled to various countries, and all countries were famous. Treat it with courtesy.

Can you not treat him with courtesy?
Confucius gathered his disciples with the courtesy and affection of teachers and students.There is Zilu who is unparalleled in faith, Duanmuci who is rich and wealthy, and Ranqiu who can reform the tax system with a spear in the field.

These disciples were all under Confucius, and Confucius came as soon as he was called, and they were able to fight... er, they crossed the stage, but it probably meant that. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, some small vassal states had only one city, and the city could There were only a few hundred soldiers in the war. In comparison, Confucius' voice gradually became louder. At least some people were willing to listen to what he had to say. They didn't drive Confucius away like a beggar after meeting him.

A hundred years later, after Confucius started a private school, all the other schools came together.

Among them, Mozi focused on ghosts and gods, righteousness, and saving the world. He gathered a group of disciples no less than Zhongni's back then. The momentum was so large that the princes were frightened. Not only did he want to treat each other with courtesy, but even his own desires had to be restrained , the orders issued by the army to go out must be forced to withdraw.

After all, when the Qi State was first established in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, only three or four hundred soldiers were able to conquer Dongyi and eventually become a powerful country. At that time, Mozi claimed that he would meet with a cloud-piercing arrow. The nobles of the Warring States were all terrified.

Cultural identity will bring a powerful cohesive force.

In this regard, Confucius and Mozi are undoubtedly the two people who have done the best.

There are many people in future generations who want to follow suit.

Just like the current Qinglong Temple.

Who wouldn't want to be greeted by everyone, and everyone will follow with a wave of arms?
But these people are not completely clear, in fact, Confucius and Mozi, the two ways of thinking are completely different.

Although the ideas of Confucius and Mozi were derived from the historians of the Zhou Dynasty, the foundation of their theories involved the understanding of the world and the expectation of racial value judgments, and then diverged.

In fact, both Confucianism and Mohism can govern a country.

But the direction is different.

What you choose is what you get.

Confucius kisses, Mozi respects the virtuous.

Confucius is inferior, while Mozi loves both.

Confucius made rituals, and Mozi used them for festivals.

Confucius was born in the early Spring and Autumn Period, and was of noble origin.At that time, the feudal lords separated their regimes, and rituals and music collapsed. Confucius felt this, so he advocated rituals and music, traveled to various countries, and appealed to benevolent government.I hope to return to the time when rites and music were prosperous in the Zhou Dynasty, so many of Confucius' thoughts emphasize rites and music.But Mozi is different. Mozi's ancestors were nobles, but when he came to Mozi, he was already a commoner.Mozi used to be a farmer and a carpenter, so his thinking mostly seeks benefits for the common people, starting from the interests of the common people.

Therefore, in fact, there is no problem with Confucius’s admiration of his ideas, and Mozi’s promotion of Mohistism is also without problem. They are all products at a certain stage, and they are different according to their personal growth and living environment. theory.It’s like a stonemason who cares about mopan stone troughs; a carpenter who cares about the beams of the car and house; a smelter who cares about cast iron blast furnaces;

If you fail to realize this problem, you will have problems.

Everyone has different concerns and views. They are busy on weekdays. There is not much intersection. Of course, there is nothing wrong with each other. But when certain things have to start to fold together, the conflicting points of various interests cannot be solved. When there is complete compatibility, conflicts will naturally arise.

And when Qinglong Temple brings together people from different environments, with different worldviews and life outlooks, there will naturally be conflicts, and Zheng Xuan encountered such a "conflict".

There are many things that can be debated in Qinglong Temple's great discussion. Whether it is the logic of the scriptures or the meaning of specific words, there is actually no big problem. The problem is that the person who opens his mouth may not necessarily say everything. It is the original intention, or the true meaning.

It's like two rumormongers attacking each other, pointing at each other and yelling that this is a "rumor" and this is "false", but they avoid talking about the truth, and the specific situation is understated. You can get away with it.

Zheng Xuan was old, so he only gave lectures at some important points, and at other times, even if Zheng Xuan wanted to do it in his heart, he didn't have enough physical strength and energy.

Therefore, the sound is distorted during the transmission process.

This is deadly.

Zheng Xuan, to a certain extent, represented the will of Hussar General Fei Qian, and he was also the main character of this Qinglong Temple discussion, but he got out of trouble.

Of course, for Zheng Xuan, he definitely didn't want to make such a mess.

The crate didn't come from Zheng Xuan, but it's similar, because Zheng Xuan is so famous.It is just like Confucius back then, or in other words, most of the children of Confucianism have a "Confucius-like" dream. This is a good thing, but when it is used by some people with ulterior motives, problems arise.

Or, in this regard, these "book-read" guys have the ingenuity that they can learn without a teacher?

In Qinglong Temple, after Zheng Xuan officially preached the three rites, there were inexplicably many more disciples of Zheng Xuan's "true biography", "true biography", "personal biography", "authentic" and so on, and then named Zheng Xuan Head, expressing convincingly that he is the real one, and others are fake, and then there are great deviations in some scriptures and annotations.

There was even a situation in which "True Biography" and "Authentic Biography" were completely opposite, and then "Personal Biography" stated that the above two were false, and he was the real one, and then "Authentic" came out to refute the rumors, saying that other They are all false, you have to believe what the only "authentic" says is true...

For a while, there were too many voices in Qinglong Temple under the banner of Zheng Xuan, like a big hotel in a certain county in later generations, everyone said that they were the most authentic and pure.

Zheng Xuan has accepted disciples, and also taught scriptures in many places.

Zheng Xuan returned to his hometown for more than ten years after his study tour.The family is poor, and the guest farms Donglai, and there are hundreds of apprentices accompanying him."When he was more than 60 years old, he recruited "thousands of disciples from afar".It can be seen from this that Zheng Xuan gave lectures privately at that time, and they were extremely prosperous for a while, and his disciples were numerous, and he went to various parts of the country several times.

This has led to the fact that among Zheng Xuan's disciples, it is absolutely impossible to be of the same level, and naturally there are good and bad.

Among these children, there are those who devote themselves to learning, and of course there are those who are purely for the sake of fame, and Zheng Xuan certainly has no way to say one by one to screen, sometimes just take a look and ask a question, it is already It's very rare, and sometimes I can't even do this kind of reading and questioning, and I just charge the "lecture fee" to be regarded as a disciple who has attended the class.

Are these not Zheng Xuan’s disciples? These people can mention when they listened to Zheng Xuan’s lectures, when they gave the “Teacher Appreciation Ceremony” or “Lecture Fee” to someone, and even took a photo with Zheng Xuan ...Well, is this really true, anyway, there are people who have proved that these people are indeed certified and have relevant qualifications "Zheng Xuan's disciples".

On the other hand, if we admit that these people are disciples, these people are twisting Zheng Xuan's original path...

Zheng Xuan has been in a lot of trouble these days. He is old, and his energy cannot be compared with that of young people. It feels like pressing a gourd to float a ladle. A new statement came out, which made Zheng Xuan and his disciple Guo Yuan busy with coping, even a little overwhelmed and flustered.

Then, it was a mess.

Because Zheng Xuan himself couldn't figure it out, ordinary people couldn't figure it out even more.

One moment it is this statement, another moment it is another statement, and then they all claim that they are true and others are false. Under such circumstances, the public can't even remember what Zheng Xuan originally said. ...

"Duke Zheng said this before? 』

"It seems... is it..."

"Don't act like that, really? 』

"probably……"

"..."

For a moment, the entire activity of Qinglong Temple seemed to be flooded with countless turbulent currents, and the sound suddenly became noisy, losing the original smoothness and order.

When Fei Qian received the news, he was busy for a while, and then he found out that this matter is simple, but it is actually simple.It's just a pity that Zheng Xuan didn't realize the current problem of Qinglong Temple. This seems to be a problem of rumors, and it seems to be a problem of disciples, but in fact it is not, it is a problem of Zheng Xuan's own choice.

Zheng Xuan himself missed the point.

It seemed that he was very busy, but he didn't use his strength to the point.

Tired and half dead, but the effect is not much.

"Duke Zheng, please sit down..." Fei Qian put down the pen in his hand, smiled slightly, and said hello, "Come on!"Serve tea! 』

Zheng Xuan sat down.

The aroma of green tea seems to have relieved some of the boredom in Zheng Xuan's heart.

Zheng Xuan didn't quite understand why things turned out like this...

"Zheng Gong, I ask Zheng Gong to correct me for writing a few words. 』Fei Qian waved his hand, signaling to the attendant to hand over the paper he had just written on the table to Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan's gaze narrowed slightly.He was a little helpless, a little ashamed, a little suspicious, and a little angry about the affairs of Qinglong Temple these days. When he came to Huqi Mansion this time, Zheng Xuan also prepared his speech and was ready to have a good talk with Fei Qian, so When he came up and got the paper delivered by Fei Qian, Zheng Xuan thought it was some kind of "cheat book" written by Fei Qian, but when he saw it, it turned out to be a dozen scattered Chinese characters that didn't quite match each other.

Some are weird, but still have the bones of Chinese characters...

Zheng Xuan frowned and said, "Where is this word...?" 』

Fei Qian smiled and said, "How many of these words does Zheng Gong know?" 』Actually, it’s just simplified Chinese characters. I haven’t written them for a long time, and Fei Qian is even a little unfamiliar. What I write is somewhat weird.

"Plausible, I don't dare to say that I recognize it, but I can guess how many..." Zheng Xuan pondered for a while, and said, "Could it be the words that Hu Man imitated? 』

"Uh..." Fei Qian laughed, concealing his embarrassment, and then said, "This character is incomplete, and its structure is flawed, but you can still distinguish its shape and guess its meaning... In the past, Cangjie wrote characters, ghosts and gods Everyone was shocked, and the whole world was shocked. Now if someone creates a new word...haha, why is it that the wind is still and there is no sound? 』

Zheng Xuan also laughed out loud, "The ancient sages and sages have many good books, but Cangjie is the only one who passed on his own. They are similar to Xi Zhong as a chariot, Houji as a crop, Gao Tao as a punishment, Kunwu as a pottery, and Xia Gun as a city." , are all the actions of future generations of Fukuzawa! 』

"What Zheng Gong said is very true..." Fei Qian nodded, and then said, "For example, in a village, there is no connection, and no one in the village can read and write. A certain person first wrote the word "Guang" and called it "Ming." ", which also means "brightness", as time goes on, until the whole village knows that "light" means "brightness". In the middle, can you immediately distinguish "brightness"? 』

Zheng Xuan was silent for a long time, "I can't make a distinction. 』

"Huainanzi said, in the past, Cangjie wrote books, but it rained millet in the sky, and ghosts cried at night. Fei Qian said slowly, "What is the rain of millet in the sky? It is a person who suffers without words in the world. The millet pays Cangjie and comes like rain. What is the ghost crying at night? It is the generation of witches and gus in the world who know their power is falling. Ghost howling.Peaches and plums, the next from Seikei.Is there anyone under the tree who says all day long that the peaches and plums here are very beautiful? 』

Zheng Xuan couldn't answer.

"Everything that benefits others is called a coincidence, and everything that misleads others is called stupidity. It is human nature to like cleverness and dislike clumsiness.How can we abandon cleverness and act clumsily? 』This point, Fei Qian is deeply aware.

Take writing as an example. At the beginning, it was oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions, which could not escape the hands of witches and Gu. Later, it gradually became Dazhuan, then Xiaozhuan. The fonts gradually became standardized, and finally evolved into the current official script. Later, it became regular script and running script, and finally simplified vernacular characters.

"Nowadays, the number of people who can read is one or two out of a hundred. If in the future, a thousand people know the word "Ming" and a hundred people know the word "Guang", then is it true that the character known by the thousand people is correct or the word known by a hundred people?" Can words be true? 』

"In ancient times, it was inscribed in gold and enshrined in heaven and earth. It is known as inscriptions in gold." 』

"Later, there were those who cited books, and they used bamboo and silk as seals. 』

"But there are Han slaves..." Fei Qian said slowly, "The slaves are officials, the slaves are slaves, but in today's world, how can there be rich writing?If all the Han people in the world learn Lishu, there will be neither cheap nor noble, so they will be Chinese characters. 』

"Which word is true and which word is correct," Fei Qian looked at Zheng Xuan and said, "It doesn't depend on you and me, it depends on the world."Since this village does not know the difference between "brightness", let it be, it is a hundred villages and thousands of villages that claim "brightness". Looking back, what is light?Does Zheng Gong think so? 』

He opened his mouth to make rumors, and ran away to refute the rumors. He was too busy to refute the rumors and forgot what he was supposed to do. If it wasn't for Zheng Xuan's age, he should really lift him up to wake him up.

Competing with rumors, if others say a lie, if you have to explain ten truths, no one may believe it.Only Zheng Xuan, who is used to talking, would try to solve problems with words.

But now, is it a question of truth or lies?

Is it a word problem?

neither.

is benefit.

Cutting aside all the appearances, lowness is all about benefits!

So, easy, right?

But sometimes what's on the surface can be confusing.

Fei Qian can't say that all of them can be exempted...

Speaking of this matter, Zheng Xuan actually broke the jobs of many people!
You know, if there is no Zheng Xuan, these people can still be happy, for the rest of their lives, even father and son, old and young, the family inheritance will live in one place!
Just like the small village that Fei Qian exemplified, light is light, and a deer is a horse!
In fact, at the beginning, Fei Qian was also confused, mainly because Fei Qian didn't expect to explode so early.Fei Qian's estimate for Qinglong Temple should be later. After all, Zheng Xuan just came to power not long ago, and the real conflict should normally break out when it is completely irreconcilable, that is, when it is almost near the end. Get intense...

Now, it seems a bit early.

Because Fei Qian had confronted Cao Cao overtly and secretly, so much so that he once thought that the spies sent by Cao Cao were making trouble again, so he immediately dispatched the Youwen Division to conduct an urgent screening, and caught some rumormongers People, but the whole situation cannot be calmed down, and there is even a tendency to intensify.

This made Fei Qian very incomprehensible. He wondered if there was something wrong with the news department. Later, after interrogating the arrested person himself, he realized that the problem was not Cao Cao or Sun Quan. These own people in Qinglong Temple.

In other words, "half" of oneself.

That's right, it can only be regarded as half at most, no more.

For Fei Qian, Zheng Xuan's serious and correct solution is of course very good, but for these half of them, no matter how correct or good Zheng Xuan said, it is all wrong and bad.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. These people were originally in their own villages and in various counties. The country folks who didn't understand were stunned for a while, and now Zheng Xuan suddenly came, saying that your words before were all wrong...

Can this nima make people feel better?
Maybe at the beginning, these half-people didn't think about doing anything, but Qinglong Temple has a lot of discussions, various topics, and various discussions. There is no effective channel, and no corresponding regulations have been issued. There is only a general agenda, an overall framework, so these half-persons feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.

It is not surprising that there are misinterpretations, misunderstandings, various opinions, not asking for deep understanding, racing to sell understanding, division and disintegration, etc.

Zheng Xuanyue explained among the gentry children in an attempt to gain the support of these half-persons. No matter how much emphasis or explanation is used, it is useless to a certain extent. There were more and more, and then I was devastated, I looked at one side, but I couldn't care about the other side.

The enemy is obvious, but one's own people, especially half of one's own people like this, are very difficult to deal with.Zheng Xuan didn't have the experience of being an upright official like Fei Qian, and he didn't have much experience in the court. Naturally, he was played around, and he didn't know what was wrong.

Because these sons of the gentry who conflicted with Zheng Xuan's interests, for their own benefit, they were submissive on the surface, but when they turned around, they said one thing and did another. After a few pieces of torn paper, they were hanged in their own village majesticly, as if they had followed the way of sages and represented the heaven and earth to impart the true meaning.

If Zheng Xuan could not solve this problem, he would naturally be unable to solve the various confusions that resulted. To solve this problem, he must find the right method.

Zheng Xuan pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "The old man now knows where the key lies!"These days of hard work are in vain! 』

Fei Qian smiled.In fact, it can't be regarded as completely futile, at least Zheng Xuan has exposed some people either actively or forcedly, hasn't he?
Now that the root of the problem has been found, it is natural to deal with it...
