People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 479

Taking a strange look at Kong Yingda, Li Zheng said again: "There is also Chu Suiliang who can teach the children calligraphy, Zou Guogong Zhang Gongjin who occasionally teaches the children how to behave in the world, and Shangguanyi who also teaches the children some etiquette."

"Is there nothing else?"

"That's all for now."

Kong Yingda put down the teacup, sighed and said, "No wonder."

"No wonder what?"

Kong Yingda's eyes were full of worry, "This old man is also hearing some rumors."

Li Zheng looked at Kong Yingda.

"Li Zheng." Kong Yingda sat upright and said, "Doesn't Li Zheng teach the children Confucianism?"

"Confucianism? I don't know Confucianism, where can I teach it?"

Kong Yingda said in a low voice: "For hundreds of years, Confucian scholars have spread all over the world, and there is no student in the world who does not read Confucian classics."

Ever since the first emperor burned books to bury Confucianism, and after Dong Zhongshu's exclusive respect for Confucianism, all scholars in the world have become Confucian scholars.

The practice of Tyranny was wrong, and in the perception of many scholars, the matter of burning books and burying Confucianism is also wrong.

Confucian scholars all over the world will criticize everything that the first emperor has done.

Literati and inkmen have nothing to do when they are idle. If they don't concentrate on tinkering with learning, only criticism is left.

Of course, this kind of criticism conforms to the popular will, and the more Confucian scholars criticize, the more popular they will be.

With the support of several generations of emperors, there are more and more Confucian scholars in the world.

Li Zheng asked: "Does Master Kong Yingda want me to teach Confucianism to the children?"

Kong Yingda waved his hands and said, "Of course not. The old man is just worried about your disciples. The children from several aristocratic families outside say that they will not let your disciples enter official careers in the future."

Li Zheng changed his sitting position and crossed his legs and said, "Whoever said that my students must enter official careers."

"What's the use of learning if you don't enter the official career?"

"Study is to become an official. I don't agree with this statement."

"Then what do you think? Nowadays, scholars all over the world, no matter the old or the young, don't read Confucian classics."

Holding a teacup, Li Zheng said, "Is Confucianism necessarily right?"

"Old man..."

Kong Yingda was speechless for a while.

"Is it right to rule by doing nothing?"

Kong Yingda couldn't tell for a while.

Li Zheng went on to say: "The emperors of all dynasties respected Confucianism, but they still practiced the law of the Legalists. The rule of law is the foundation. The emperor breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people! Once it is really governed by doing nothing, the world will not be chaotic?"

Kong Yingda lowered her head in disappointment and said, "Li Zheng, many people have advised His Majesty this time that you, Li Zheng, are your teacher, but you don't teach Confucian classics. This is against the way of being a teacher."

Li Zheng thought about it and said: "Old Master Kong Yingda is right. I really want to teach Confucianism. Confucianism is a worthy example. Let my students know the disadvantages of Confucianism, the shortcomings of Confucianism, and how much Confucianism is. Not fit to govern."

Kong Yingda said: "Li Zheng, you have only a few disciples, and you want to make an enemy of all the scholars in the world."

Li Zheng sneered and said, "Scholars in this world are almost becoming the tools of the aristocratic family. Old Master Kong Yingda, is this the original aspiration of your Confucianism?"

Kong Yingda said with emotion: "It's really wrong for the family to accommodate scholars from all over the world. The old man knows it, and His Majesty knows it too."

"Does the old master mean that you want me to take a step back?"

"Li Zheng, there's nothing wrong with taking a step back."

"What if I don't retreat?"

Kong Yingda looked at the leisurely horse and said: "The history books are written by those people. Li Zheng, what do you think will happen to you in people's hearts in the future? Can you beat these people? They are passed down from generation to generation."

Seeing Li Zhengman's indifferent expression, Kong Yingda asked, "You don't care?"

Li Zheng put away the drawings, waved the fan in his hand and said, "There are only a few people in the world who can get the real historical truth, and there may be only a few people who stick to the truth."

Kong Yingda drank tea and listened to Li Zheng continue talking.

Li Zheng went on to say: "Those famous people in history are not all great heroes. Those who reveal the truth and tell the truth may all die tragically in the dust. Even after hundreds of years, no one knows their existence, only powerful slander remains. This is just the tip of the iceberg."

"It is very likely that I will be written as a hypocrite in the history books, and not many people will know what I have done. After fighting a war, no one will remember it after a few dynasties."

Kong Yingda said: "Who can tell right from wrong, good from bad, right from wrong?"

Li Zheng stood up and said: "Old Master Kong Yingda, the aristocratic family controls the scholars. Their control is not long-term, and they will fail one day. Knowledge is free, and it will not always be a tool to win people's hearts."

Kong Yingda let out a long sigh, "Li Zheng, that's all I've said, so please do it yourself."

After speaking, Kong Yingda stood up and wanted to leave.

Li Zheng sent Kong Yingda out of the village and saw him get into the carriage.

After they left, Li Zheng looked at Xu Jingzong who was chatting with Li Yifu in the distance.

After receiving Li Zheng's gaze, Xu Jingzong walked quickly and said, "Chang'an Order, do you have any orders?"

"Has there been any movement in Chang'an recently?"

"movement?"

"The movement of the children of the family."

Xu Jingzong took out the pamphlet and looked at a few pages and said: "Indeed, there are Confucian children from various schools who have been walking around a lot recently, and many people are impeaching the Chang'an Order."

"anything else?"

"and also?"

Li Zheng glanced at Xu Jingzong, "Xu Jingzong, are you still hiding things for me?"

Xu Jingzong smiled awkwardly and said: "Chang'an Ling saw through it, but Changsun Wuji is the uncle of the current dynasty, and even His Royal Highness wants to call Changsun Wuji uncle, Chang'an Ling now we are weak and we are not his opponents. "

"It's not surprising that so many people can impeach me. I'm used to it. But so many people use one reason to impeach me. I don't believe there is nothing tricky about it."

Xu Jingzong said in a low voice: "Actually, these are the eldest Sun Chong, the son of Zhao Guogong's eldest Sun Wuji, walking around."

"anything else?"

Xu Jingzong also said: "They said that Chang'an Ling taught his disciples. Not teaching Confucian classics is against the way of being a teacher. Chang'an Ling also taught from unknown people, so he cannot be a teacher."

"The reason is quite sufficient."

"Yeah, for a while, the gods and humans were angry, so they came to Jingyang to swallow Chang'an Ling alive."

"What are our reporters doing these days?"

"Still staring at it the same way?"

"Keep an eye on it during this time, and those who have impeached me will record it."

"understood."

Xu Jingzong nodded and said: "Don't worry about Chang'an Ling, even if Chang'an Ling is notorious, I will definitely follow Chang'an Ling."

"If it sounds nice, it's free."

"Hey, I'm going down to work."

Back at the stables, I found some of Zhang Qi's carpenters to make wooden tubes for fireworks.

The queen's words reminded me that when people sit at home and come from heaven, there will always be people who will persecute them.

"People laugh at me too crazy, I can't see through laughing at others."

"Hmph! Your days are really leisurely." Li Lizhi's voice came from behind.
