After Cao Yue left, Mo Ningrong and Mo Wenlin, father and son, were still sitting in the box.

Faced with a table full of delicious food, they have no appetite.

"Dad, is this really the only way to go?" Mo Wenlin was still a little unwilling.

Mo Ningrong didn't speak immediately, but stared straight at Mo Wenlin for a while,

Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped Mo Wenlin hard. "Do you know that you almost ruined the Mo family. ”

Mo Wenlin was stunned by Mo Ningrong, since he was sensible, his father had never beaten him, let alone slapped him.

The slap was quite heavy, and blood flowed from the corners of the mouth. He felt very aggrieved, but in front of his own Lao Tzu, he didn't dare to get angry.

But after listening to what his father said, he also understood.

Yesterday and today, my father didn't get angry and didn't blame him. Today, when the matter was almost resolved, his father's anger came out, and he could only accept this slap aggrievedly, not daring to say a word.

"He's a very scheming guy and he's very ruthless, so we have to be careful in the future. ”

"Dad, you're saying we have to watch out for him?"

"No" Mo Ningrong shook his head, "I mean we have to be careful in what we do, don't annoy him, he is the future head of the Cao family." ”

"Dad, I understand, I will try my best to get close to him and help him do things in the future. ”

"Well, I am very pleased that you have this understanding," Mo Ningrong reached out and touched the red and swollen place on Mo Wenlin's face, and said with a little distress: "If you can understand this, Dad will be relieved." In the future, the Mohs Group will be handed over to you, and I believe you will not destroy him. The mess of the Lou family, it's up to you to help clean it up, I believe no one will interfere. Remember a little and surprise him. ”

"Got it, Dad"

Now some scholars have put forward the point of view, saying that in history, China gradually declined, was bullied by foreign countries several times, and the most important reason was the prevalence of Confucianism. Today, I would like to discuss with you the history related to Confucianism and the development of Chinese history. ”

Lou Shuguang, who was short and fat with glasses, spread out the teachings, and said the main points of today's coursework, and wrote a few square characters on the blackboard, "On Confucianism and the Rise and Fall of China." ”

Lou Shuguang teaches ancient Chinese political culture, and this old-fashioned history teacher gives very interesting lectures, likes to interact with students, and respects students' opinions.

Most of the students, including Cao Yue, liked to listen to his lectures, and even some students from other departments came over to audit.

"Before today's lecture, I also want to ask the students, have you learned about the historical events related to Confucianism?" Lou Shuguang asked the students in the class with a smile. "Whoever understands can raise their hand to speak. ”

"Teacher, I know," Zheng Hongbing, who had excellent academic performance, immediately raised his hand, and after getting permission, stood up and replied, "During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reused Dong Zhongshu, deposed the hundred schools, and respected Confucianism alone. Han Yu, a master of Confucianism in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, started from maintaining feudal rule and used the Confucian doctrine of the Mandate of Heaven and the feudal program to oppose the view of Buddhism and Taoism during the Song Dynasty, respecting Zhou Dunyi, Cheng Hao, and Cheng Yi as the ancestors, and Zhu Xi as the master, and later obtained official status, so Cheng Zhu Lixue became the mainstream of Confucianism."

Zheng Hongbing's eloquent remarks gave a general overview of the events related to Confucianism, which was praised by Lou Shuguang and praised by other students.

"This classmate spoke very well, give him a thumbs up," Lou Shuguang praised Zheng Hongbing for two sentences, and then said: "Confucianism, that is, Confucianism, is one of the hundred schools of thought of the pre-Qin princes, founded by Confucius, initially referring to the master of ceremonies, and then gradually developed into an ideological system with respect and humility as the core, which is the most influential school in China and the mainstream consciousness in ancient China. ”

"Some scholars believe that the gradual decline of ancient China is related to the over-prevalence of Confucianism, and today we will discuss this issue, and students can speak freely and express their own opinions. ”

Li Xiaoping, a member of the study committee, stood up and supported this view.

"Teacher, I agree with that. Confucianism was too prevalent, suppressing other doctrines, and the theory without competition could not be perfected, so it eventually imprisoned the development of Han culture. ”

Then, Li Xiaoyu used the historical knowledge he had learned to explain a lot of theories for his own thesis, tying ancient women to small feet, and her husband could not remarry after death, and she had to stay a widow for the rest of her life, otherwise the most heinous things such as unchastity would be attributed to Confucianism.

Her speech received a lot of applause, and Wu Weiliang was the loudest.

Then some students stood up to speak, both for and against Li Xiaoping's views.

After several people spoke, Cao Yue couldn't help but stand up and express his views.

"Teacher, I don't think the weakening of China's national strength has much to do with Confucianism. ”

"Oh, then tell me why you think so. Lou Shuguang raised his eyebrows and looked at Cao Yue with great interest.

The most powerful dynasties in Chinese history, the Han and Tang dynasties, were precisely the most prevalent era of Confucianism, and Zheng Hongbing, a classmate of the Han Dynasty, had just said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reused Dong Zhongshu, deposed the hundred schools, and respected Confucianism alone. But everyone also knows that it was the time of Emperor Wu that the national prestige of the Han Dynasty reached its peak. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing attacked the Xiongnu in the north, beat the Huns in embarrassment and fled, sealed the wolf Juxu, carved stones to remember the merits, and the threat of northern Xinjiang was basically eliminated. The Huns had to sigh: The loss of my Qilian Mountain made my six animals lose my Yanzhi Mountain, and my wife had no color. Since then, there has been the Tianwei of the Han Dynasty, and the title of our Han nation, and the prosperity of Han culture and the continuation of thousands of years.

"During the Tang Dynasty, the status of Confucianism was also very high. Presumably, everyone also knows that China was strong during the Tang Dynasty, and there are still many Chinatowns around the world, and the title of the Tang people is related to the strength of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"In the ninth year of Wude, when Li Shimin had just succeeded to the throne as emperor, the Turks fought near Chang'an. But no one expected that three years later, in the third year of Zhenguan, Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty, led the army to attack the Xiongnu in the north, crippled the Turks in a battle, and captured the leader Jieli Khan alive to Chang'an, declaring its demise, and the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty has been without strong enemies since then. ”

Later, Li Shixian, Su Dingfang, Li Daozong, Hou Junji, Pei Xingjian, Cheng Wuting and a large number of famous generals who were famous or not known to later generations led the Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry to sweep the desert. At that time, the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty often wandered on the shores of the Aral Sea, the area of the Green Mountains, and the establishment of the Protectorate of Andong, Anxi, Anbei, Annan, and Beiting made the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty reach the extreme, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty has also reached the extreme. ”

"Nine days to open the palace, all the nations to worship the crown, the four Yi surrendered, the world to congratulate the grand scene, today people can hardly imagine. At that time, the status of the Han people was very high, and the Tang Dynasty law stipulated that Hu women were not allowed to marry Han nobles, so as not to stain the noble blood of the Han people, and Hu men could marry Han women, but they could not be brought back to Hu Di, and they must settle in Han land. When the Hu and the Han people quarreled, it was always the Hu people who suffered. This is completely different from the situation today. ”

"At that time, most or all of Russia, Mongolia, the Korean Peninsula, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Bakistan and other countries were the land of China, and the Jiaozhou of the Tang Dynasty was Hanoi of Vietnam, and the Xiongjin Metropolitan Prefecture of the Tang Dynasty was located in the southwest of present-day South Korea. At that time, Datang stood proudly on top of the world, and the Datang army was synonymous with invincibility in the world, and its influence on the world could not be compared with the current United States compared with Datang at that time. ”

"Also, as the country grows, culture also begins to flourish. Tang poetry gradually became popular with the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, which was a peak in Chinese history and the highest point that future generations could hardly surpass. The word was also developed from that era and became popular during the Song Dynasty. The art of calligraphy has also reached a high point that is difficult for later generations to reach, and Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan and other calligraphers are all from the Tang Dynasty. Why did the Han and Tang dynasties, when Confucianism flourished, reach the pinnacle of military and cultural achievement?

Cao Yue's inquiry was loud and shocking to everyone in the class.

For a moment, the whole classroom fell silent, and no one made a sound.
