Chapter 112: There is really no awe

This poem is already straightforward to the extreme, how could Tu Yao not understand it.

Bu Anxin said that she probably thought that the content of the poem was contrary to the Confucian idea of moderation, and deliberately asked this way to knock him, so she scratched her head and smiled: "It's literal......"

"Is that literal?" Tu Yao glanced at her and said, "It's the same as 'asking the canal to be as clear as possible'?"

Bu An only then did he understand what Tu Yao wanted to say, it turned out that he was asking this poem to teach him to write a poem and scold Confucianism last time. But there was no answer to this, so he just smiled and fell silent.

"Mountain Chief Huaicang asked me why my disciple wrote such a poem in the Lanting Summer Collection...... It dawned on me. Tu Yao sighed: "At that time, it was only when you touched the scene, it turned out that you were embarrassed by Ji Zhan's two senior brothers, and you became angry." The mountain chief blamed me, and I was speechless, only blaming myself for not being good at learning, and not being able to read this poem to hide resentment. ”

Tu Yao is really smart, she didn't see the subtext in the poem at the time, purely because she was there, and she felt that Bu'an wrote Lanting Qushui in sentences, but when she was asked by Huaicang, she immediately saw through Bu'an's state of mind.

For the marriage contract of the Yu Zhong family, it doesn't matter if the academy doesn't stand up for him, Ji Zhan and the two Tianmu scholars are still trying to drive him out of the academy on the Lanting Xia Ji, and Bu An later copied the poem, to put it bluntly, he scolded the Tianmu Academy for a pool of stagnant water, and scolded Ji Zhan for not distinguishing between right and wrong.

Now that Tu Yao said it to his face, Bu An was also a little embarrassed, because this map cannon brought Tu Yao in.

"It's a pity that you don't stay in the academy to practice because you have this talent. Tu Yao said with emotion.

Bu An knew that no matter how much he emphasized that the poem was copied at this time, Tu Yao would only think that he was quibbling, so he had to shake his head and say: "I have no reverence for the heroic spirit of Confucianism, and I am afraid that I will not be able to learn Confucianism." ”

"Confucian practice only focuses on the doctrine of the sages, and there are indeed shortcomings. But is it wrong to educate the world with the first holy books?" Tu Yao asked.

Bu An thought for a while before saying, "Master, I've been having a question lately......

Tu Yao nodded, motioning to him but saying it was okay.

"Zi said that the trip to the avenue is also, with the three generations of Ying, Qiu Wei is also caught, and there are ambitions......"

This sentence comes from the "Book of Rites", to the effect that Confucius longed for the rule of three generations and hated not being born in that era. Bu An can recite, of course he won't understand, so he paused here slightly, Tu Yao didn't explain for him, but waited for him to continue.

"Master, what are the monarchs of the three generations, and what are the capable people with lofty ideals?"

Bu An saw Tu Yao shaking his head slightly, and realized that he had not guessed wrong. The problem of Confucianism in this world is huge.

At the beginning, Song Qing once said that there were gods in the world, but in the Spring and Autumn Period, the old gods fell one after another.

Later, in order to be admitted to the academy, Bu'an recited the classics day and night, and often saw the "rule of three generations" and Confucius's admiration for the Duke of Zhou, and since then there has been a trace of doubt: since there was a god in the world before the Spring and Autumn Period, and since the sons and hundreds of schools of thought regarded the old gods as enemies, then why did Confucius and his old man yearn for the third generation of the Xia and Shang dynasties so much? and even admired the Duke of Zhou as the patriarch of Confucianism?

After learning that Cangjie was the old god, this doubt deepened again: according to legend, Cangjie was the left historian during the Yellow Emperor period, and Cangjie was the old god, so was the Yellow Emperor Yandi?

He has never heard of the legend of Yan Huang Chiyou and Yao Shunyu, and at this time, seeing that Tu Yao didn't even know which monarchs and celebrities there were in the three generations of Xia Shang Zhou, he sat down and made up his guess: The monarch of the third generation of Xia Shang should also be the old god, but maybe it is weaker than Cangjie.

"Master......" Bu An then asked: "Do you think that the current Liang Dynasty, compared with the three generations, which one is superior and which is inferior?"

Tu Yao said with a smile: "You call me a master, why did you teach me." How can the Liang Dynasty dare to compare the three generations. ”

Mencius said, everyone kisses their relatives, grows long, and the world is peaceful. Bu An frowned and said: "Master, why is it that Confucianism has admired the principle of 'kissing and benevolent to the people' for 2,000 years, but the world is still not as good as the rule of three generations? Is it that the more you advocate it, the more unbearable it becomes?"

Tu Yao was silent, his face a little solemn.

She has only seen Bu'an five times, the first time she was bumped into by him when she was practicing ritual art in the Jinghu Pavilion, the second time she saw him on the spot in front of the Dianxing Palace, the third time she bowed to the teacher, the fourth Lanting Summer Collection, and then it was in front of her.

Every time they met, this disciple had a surprising performance, but none of them had been shocked before.

He borrowed the metaphor of things, and scolded the Confucians in the world with a sentence "Ask where the canal is as clear as promised, only the source of living water" scolded all the Confucians in the world, Tu Yao only thought that this was a young man's nature, and he was not afraid of heaven and earth, only to find out at this time that he was not without words, but really thought about these, otherwise he would never have pointed to the point in three or two sentences.

"Master, the disciple has a few words that may be disagreed by the world, but it is very uncomfortable to hold it in his heart, there are no outsiders here, you can count it as ...... if you hear it" Bu An took a long breath and said: "The sage is afraid that he will go from the opposite side of the world, and he will ask for fish." ”

"Why do you say this?" Tu Yao was shocked when he heard this, and suspected that Bu An was just deliberately making amazing words.

"The old gods have a bloodline inheritance, and they are naturally close to them, and the divine power of the old gods is all based on the belief of the people, and they are naturally benevolent to their people...... But the saint pushed the old god off the altar, but he wanted to force his relatives and benevolent people, isn't it the opposite of the other, and the wood is begging for fish?"

Tu Yao sighed, and said in his heart that this was really not shocking, but it was unreasonable. She glared at Bu'an, and said solemnly: "Isn't it right to be close to the people?

Bu An shook his head and said, "It's not wrong, it's not that it can't be done." When the sage saw that the rule of the three generations had relatives and benevolent people, he thought that being close to the people was the antidote, but he didn't know that the three generations of Xia and Shang were all city-states maintained by blood and faith. But the world is no longer what it used to be, even if you call your parents and officials 10,000 times, the officials will not really love the people as children; every day you rely on singing high-pitched songs to persuade the emperor to love the people like sons, but he thinks you are in the way. ”

For the first time, Tu Yao was frightened by Bu'an's intelligence, and even felt that he was far from being able to be his master. Of course, she won't change her mind because of these few words, but she was surprised that Bu An could interpret the four words of deviance so amazingly, and it was obviously unreasonable, but she didn't know how to refute it.

I had to put on a straight face and asked, "According to your meaning...... Do you want to bring back the old gods?"

Bu An hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, no, I didn't mean that...... It's just to prove to you that I really don't have a sense of reverence for the Confucians......"

Tu Yao's tone also softened, and he said with a slight annoyance: "Then what are you doing in the academy to study Confucianism?"

"I don't know...... There are probably days in the dark. Bu An scratched his head and smiled: "Master...... You're not going to hear this and you're going to expel me, are you?"

"As long as you don't do evil, I don't bother to care about your whims. Tu Yao pursed his lips, deliberately making a little angry, but with a trace of inexplicable curiosity, he glanced at Bu'an and said: "Dare to say that the sage is destined for fish, do you have a way to rule the country and level the world?"

"No, no...... How can I have that ability......" Bu An smiled.

When Tu Yao heard this answer, he suddenly felt relaxed, perhaps because after knowing that the disciple in front of him was extremely talented, he was even more afraid that he would go astray.
