Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 523
The ancients were no more stupid than modern people. At least in many things, they were more willing to work hard than modern people, especially in stage performances. In later generations, many of the unique skills passed down from generation to generation have gradually been lost. The reason is that they practiced more It's too bitter for young people to bear.

This year's Spring Festival Gala in Wangjiang Tower brought many surprises to Sun Xiangfu. There was an acrobatics of jumping bamboo poles, which was more exciting than many TV shows in later generations. Don't play those songs from later generations that Sun Xiangfu plagiarized before, and these things created by the performing arts troupe in this world will make people feel more in line with this era.

Li Chengqian really wanted to have a good time on the stage, but unfortunately, he was stopped by the eyes of Empress Changsun. It was Li Shimin who asked him to compose King Qin's break into a new song when he was free. During the meeting, to show the guests from all over the world, Li Chengqian naturally patted his chest and promised to complete the task.

At midnight, after everyone counted down to welcome the new year, the large-scale performance on the stage was finally replaced by a simple music performance, and the waiters also began to deliver supper to each private room and table. The performance lasted for two or three hours. At midnight, everyone was indeed hungry.

The little ones of the Sun family and the Yu family were very excited by the lively scene on the stage. When the sweet soup with white fungus and red dates that they liked was served, they all clamored to eat it, but there was a large house of women taking care of them. Then, it was not Sun Xiangfu's turn to feed them in person.

Yu Shinan was getting old and couldn't stay up late, so he didn't come today. Seeing that his father-in-law Yu Chang seemed to have something to say to him, Sun Xiangfu also took the opportunity of the children to eat, and walked aside to chat with him for a few words.

"Your grandfather said that you don't have to worry about setting up the Confucian school as you said before."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu recalled the scene of being driven out of the study by Yu Shinan that day, unexpectedly, the old man didn't say anything, but in his heart, he was still thinking about what he asked for.

"I said those Confucians, why haven't they started yet! It turns out that Grandpa has already blocked me. If there is an old man in the family, it is like a treasure!"

Yu Chang nodded and continued, "Confucian school disputes have existed for a long time. Just in the annotations of "Spring and Autumn", there are three major interpretations of "Zuo Shi Zhuan", "Gu Liang Zhuan" and "Gongyang Zhuan" The school of scholasticism.

The Book of Songs even has Han, Qi, Lu, Mao and many other distinct factions.

Kong Jijiu only thought that His Majesty would believe in Gongyang's lineage like the former Han Dynasty, but he didn't think that although His Majesty likes to read "Xiping Stone Classic", he only likes Cai Bojie's Feibai calligraphy. After analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of many schools in front of him, His Majesty rejected the letter written by Kong Jijiu, and defined the interpretation of the Confucian Gongyang lineage as an official request.

This made Confucian masters who believed in "Gu Liang Zhuan" and, like my Yu family, admired "Zuo Shi Zhuan" thought about it one after another. Some people even wanted to take this opportunity to remove Kong Jijiu from its current position. Push up and down. "

The position of the Guozijian Jijiu is basically equivalent to the position of the minister of the Ministry of Education. Although it is only from the third rank, it is one level lower than the ten ministers, but its role and influence are not calculated according to the rank. Yes, a person only needs to sit in this position for ten years, then, basically most of the people in the court are his disciples, especially in this peaceful age like now, when officials can only rely on studying to get high. when.

Li Shimin's denial immediately made Kong Yingda feel a little bit overwhelmed. Who would have thought that an emperor would not like this theory of the interaction between heaven and man.

It can only be said that he misunderstood Li Shimin. Although he is also conceited, he is not as conceited as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Most of the time, he will reflect on his own mistakes and humbly accept advice.

Moreover, he knew that the courtiers and common people were too superstitious about the harm of the emperor. Once the emperor was stupid, the entire dynasty, no matter how strong it was, might collapse. The Han Dynasty died when it was strong, which is a living example.

Therefore, he had already begun to summarize the reasons for the fall of the Han Dynasty, and he would not follow the old path again. Therefore, Kong Yingda, who stepped into the wrong pit, was not a cause for concern for the time being.

When Yu Chang said this, Sun Xiangfu, who knew Li Shimin a little bit, knew what was going on. It is no wonder that a person who relied on swords and guns to kill his brother and seize the throne could be superstitious. Moreover, Li Shimin is not stupid. Although he wanted to draw up things, he didn't want to draw them up hastily. At least, he would not support the failed examples. It was not implemented until the Gaozong period. That is to say, although the Zhenguan Dynasty was mainly based on Confucianism, it did not use any unified Confucianism as the national ideology. Instead, it was in a multi-school, various ideology In the state of coexistence of forms, Li Shimin will push whatever point of view is good.

So, he asked again, "So, grandpa, do you intend to promote the line of ancient Chinese as official learning?"

The so-called lineage of ancient texts is a relatively primitive Confucianism, advocating the annotations of "Chunqiu Zuoshi Zhuan", that is, a group of Confucianists who adhere to the Confucian 666 thought.

Confucian scholars of this line, if they have achieved success in their studies, they can really be able to manage the army when they are mounted, and they can manage the people when they are dismounted.

Among them, the most famous one is Guan Yu, the martial sage of the Shu Han Dynasty. Since he was born, he can quickly get started with command training, and his personal courage is also properly ranked in the top ten of that era. His proficiency in bow and horse is no longer enough to describe him.

Not only that, but his political ability is not bad. Liu Bei usually takes Zhang Fei to the expedition, while Guan Yu stays behind. Under his rule, the people usually live and work in peace and contentment, and the economy develops well. He was stationed in Jingzhou for a year, and the money and food produced by his jurisdiction were enough to supply the entire army of Shu. He was not just a simple warrior, but a relatively versatile talent. Otherwise, he would not be respected by the hostile force Cao Cao.

If he insisted on using a certain school of Confucianism as the ideology to govern the country, Sun Xiangfu naturally hoped that it would be in the line of ancient Chinese.

However, Yu Chang shook his head and said, "No, your grandfather said that he can't understand the world now, and he is not sure whether it is correct for the Confucian ancient Chinese to become the mainstream of this country. I want to wait and see, perhaps, there will be a new thought that is more suitable for this era, and I don’t know.”

What Yu Chang said stunned Sun Xiangfu. The old man Yu Shinan has studied Confucianism all his life. Could it be that even he feels that Confucianism is no longer suitable for this era?
It's not just a feeling, it's a very strong feeling. A wise man like Yu Shinan naturally considers problems from a much higher perspective than ordinary people. The way Sun Xiangfu promoted in Datang, to put it bluntly, is materialism. Moreover, there is a large amount of capitalism, but this set has revitalized all aspects of Datang and benefited everyone. Even the powerful and powerful clan class that he is relatively opposed to, now, isn’t it also divorced? Have you lost the previous low-level taste of exploiting others to obtain benefits?

Therefore, Yu Shinan felt that the current situation was quite good, at least, the people had enough food and clothing, and the country had no internal or external troubles, so why change it?

For the sake of long-term peace and stability in the future, who can guarantee that if you use your own method, you will really be able to enjoy long-term peace and stability?
Yu Chang's words made Sun Xiangfu enter into deep reflection. Whether this kind of feudal dynasty with Tang characteristics can survive for a long time is really a big issue.

It is easy for little ones who are full to fall asleep, especially when they are in a warm embrace.

Carefully put her daughter Sun Wanting on her own small cradle, Sun Xiangfu kissed her lightly on the forehead, helped her cover the quilt, and then turned and went to her master bedroom.

"Husband, let's go to Hongmei or Chuntao to rest today!" said Yu Xiu'er who had no intention of helping Sun Xiangfu undress.

"What's wrong?" Sun Xiangfu looked at Yu Xiu'er in surprise.

Today is New Year's Eve. According to common sense, as a husband, he should spend it with his wife.

"My concubine has responsibilities. After the spring, I will lead the art troupe to Dingxiang to rehearse the show. At this time, it is inconvenient to have a body."

"what!"

Sun Xiangfu was stunned by Yu Xiuer's words. Is this the time to sacrifice personal happiness for career?
After reacting, he didn't take it seriously, he took off his clothes and said, "Whoever said that you have to do the childbirth thing when you sleep, even if you have to do it, I have a secret method as a husband, otherwise, the two You won't be unable to conceive this year, but let's take a day off today, I think I have something serious to tell you."

In Sun Xiangfu's opinion, Yu Xiu'er's age was still too young, because she was only 20 years old, and Sun Xiangfu didn't want her to take the risk of caesarean section again, so the intercourse was always restrained.

After laying down on the bed with Yu Xiu'er in his arms, he told Yu Xiu'er about some of his arrangements in Dingxiang, and asked her to cooperate with Cheng Chumo and act according to the plan. If Wang Hao could be caught, then the safety factor of the entire Tang Dynasty would be They can improve a bit, and they can sleep more peacefully.

Early the next morning, Sun Xiangfu sent red envelopes to everyone in the mansion, and told Hongmei Chuntao that after the Shangyuan Festival, he would take a few children to accompany him to work in Shannan Road. They were overjoyed for a while, because Sun Xiangfu was going to Shannan Road this time, and he would stay there for at least a few months. During this period, they were very likely to conceive their second child.

Before leaving, Sun Xiangfu still had one very urgent matter to do, which was to inspect Lantian Vocational and Technical College, which was about to start accepting students on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.

The total construction time of this college was only six months. Although tens of thousands of people were recruited to build it, it is still in a very crude state because Sun Xiangfu has too many demands on this college.

He almost wanted to recruit elite talents from all industries in Weinan to come to this college to teach part-time. He even didn't let go of several great chefs in Wangjiang Building.

Vocational technology, to put it bluntly, is the job skills of all walks of life, ranging from simple to difficult. If Datang wants to raise the level in all aspects, this kind of systematic education is essential.

But because there are too many industries involved, and there are too many students, Sun Xiangfu went to Lantian on the second day of the new year, and it took eight days in a row. The imperial decree that Li Shimin wanted to come to the Vocational and Technical College for inspection was also passed on. This was an exciting thing for the students, but it was quite a headache for the managers of the Vocational and Technical College.

The emperor wanted to come, so naturally he wanted to arrange a ostentation for him, but on the side of the college, apart from the cafeteria and some quickly built brick and tile bungalows, the rest of the place was still a huge construction site. The main teaching building, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people in the future, has only just completed the first floor.

However, there are difficulties. The beginning of the sixth year of Zhenguan is to focus on education, improve the quality of talents, and prepare for more complex needs in the future. It is good for Li Shimin to encourage everyone.
