Chapter 25: The Way of Confucianism

"But ......"

When Zhang Yang was proud of being a Confucian disciple, Hu Qianqian frowned and said: "However, although Confucian disciples do not need to cross the catastrophe since then, there has not been a sage in the two dynasties and ten years since the establishment of the imperial examination, and even the great Confucians are very few. There was once a rumor that although God spared the catastrophe of Confucian disciples, it also limited the opportunity for Confucian disciples to become holy, so that even great Confucians could hardly produce one.

As a disciple of Confucianism, you should know that there are only eight Confucians in the entire Tang Dynasty, and the time when these eight Confucians became Confucians was at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, do you think it is a coincidence?"

Zhang Yang couldn't help but be stunned.

He never thought about it.

But when I heard Hu Qianqian mention it, it really makes some sense when I think about it carefully.

Since the Sui Dynasty, almost all dynasties have had sages born, and in more ancient dynasties, there have even been saints manifested.

Mencius, Yan Hui, Dong Zhongshu..... These are all famous figures through the ages.

But what about the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty?

There is simply no one else who can match it.

Take Yan Zhitui as an example, although Yan Zhitui is a great Confucian in the world, he is not outstanding, on the contrary, the reason why he can be famous mainly depends on the shadow of the ancestor Yan Hui.

For example, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling and other great Confucians, they can achieve great Confucianism, and it is not justifiable.

Instead, it was canonized by the king Li Shimin.

It can be said that several of them were forcibly promoted to become great Confucians almost by virtue of the luck of the country and Confucianism.

On the contrary, the only one who really relied on himself to achieve Confucianism was Pang Ren.

However, Pang Ren stepped on it differently, and it can even be said that it is different from other Confucians.

Because the Pang people stepped on the deviant!

After learning from Pang Rentao during this time, Zhang Yang knew that Pang Rentao was not blindly inheriting the same books according to Confucian classics, but constantly innovating.

Although this kind of innovation is a little conservative in the eyes of him, a traverser, it is undeniable that there is already a hint of it.

Perhaps it is this spirit of pushing through the old and bringing forth the new that allows the teacher to achieve Confucianism with his own strength, right?

Zhang Yang thought so, and also figured out why several other Confucians wanted to suppress Pang Ren.

After all, from their point of view, Pang Rentao is an outlier, and it is also a kind of inferiority complex.

However, it is precisely this that identifies Zhang Yang's idea of not taking the usual path.

"Then do you think it is possible for my mentor to become a sage?" Zhang Yang asked suddenly.

"Difficult!" Hu Qianqian said: "Very difficult! Although Pang Ren stepped on the road of the imperial examination differently from other great Confucians, he also took the road of the imperial examination, and the road ahead was blocked, even if he found another way, it would be difficult. ”

He said it over and over again, but his eyes looked at Zhang Yang and said, "But I'm very optimistic about you, otherwise I wouldn't have formed this good relationship with you!"

Zhang Yang was stunned!

He didn't expect Hu Qianqian to be so straightforward.

Hu Qianqian said with a smile: "There is no love for no reason in this world, and naturally there is no hate for no reason." On that day, you changed the suicide note of the sages of the human race to trigger the holy approval, how can I not know that I am in Lantian? It's ridiculous that Ying Yang didn't even find out that Pang Ren dared to kill you when he stepped on this place, it was simply looking for death!

However, I would like to remind you that it is best not to follow the path of the imperial examination, if you continue to walk, I am afraid that you will at most become a great Confucian, and it is almost impossible to walk if you want to make a hundred feet! Of course, even if you want to become a great Confucian, you need to die first one of these eight great Confucians!"

Zhang Yang didn't expect Hu Qianqian to tell such a secret.

Although it was just a guess, there was no wind and no waves, and he felt that there should be a certain basis.

After all, what she said was very similar to the situation in the world.

"Why did you want to kill a great Confucian?"

Since it was said, Zhang Yang also broke the casserole and asked to the end.

It is related to his own interests, and he cannot be careless.

Of course, the most important thing is that he and Hu Qianqian don't have much interest entanglement, and even because of the mountain god's revenge this time, the two thought that they were tied to the same chariot.

He believed that Hu Qianqian didn't need to lie to him.

"Nine is extremely numerous, and there are naturally only eight under nine!" Although the current Hu Qianqian's injury has not recovered after Fang Cai's pranayama, the injury has still stopped, and now her face is no longer as pale as Fang Cai's side.

Hu Qianqian stood up and sat on a stone bench, and then continued: "Do you think that the king of people doesn't want to canonize a few more great Confucians? Even if it is not an authentic Confucian, it is still a great Confucian. The combat power of a great Confucian is not trivial, it is comparable to the existence of the demon clan and the demon immortal. According to my estimate, eight is not only the limit of the human king, but also the limit of the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty, because it can only bear so much. No matter how much it is, it will definitely not be suppressed!"

Repression!

What to suppress?

Zhang Yang heard a new term again!

As Hu Qianqian said more and more, he only felt that there seemed to be countless secrets in this world waiting for him to slowly unravel.

But this feeling made him extremely uncomfortable and insignificant, and he felt a sense of powerlessness when he wanted to struggle.

In fact, judging from Pang Rentao and Zhang Wenyuan, combined with the speculation provided by Hu Qianqian, he vaguely felt that he had caught something.

It's just that I can't catch it.

And the repression of something .... He thinks that it should be the secret of the promotion of Confucian children, the achievement of children, the achievement of talent, and the achievement of ..... The Great Confucian was immediately able to comprehend the key to supernatural powers.

It's just that there are so few things for him to analyze that he can't analyze at all.

However, even so, Zhang Yang also took Hu Qianqian's words to heart, and participating in the imperial examination may not be a good thing.

"Then do you think I should take that path? switch to Taoism or soldierhood, or cultivate Shangqing Xuanlu?" Zhang Yang suddenly laughed, looked at Hu Qianqian, and asked with a smile: "Qianqian girl, since you know so much, it seems that you shouldn't be an ordinary little demon, right? Let me guess, you said earlier that you were attacked by the mountain god and cut off your tail, so it means that you have more than one tail, which reminds me of the legend of the nine-tailed fox." And why is there a Shangqing Xuanlu on the fox skin you showed me last time? How could such an important exercise be on an ordinary fox?"

Hu Qianqian immediately fell silent.

She didn't answer, but looked at Zhang Yang as well.

After a long time, he smiled and said, "It seems that it is my wisest choice to have a good relationship with you." Everyone in the world thinks they are smart, but it turns out to be the most stupid. I thought I was doing it all, but I didn't want you to see through it.

Yes, I am the nine-tailed fox in the fox clan, the red moon is the fire fox, the white snow is the white fox, and the pandan is the blue fox......!

Halfway through what she said, she suddenly became gloomy, and said: "It's better not to say it, whether you can grow up or not is not necessarily, just let me gamble on Hao!"

PS: Finally I don't have to eat Xiang, wait for me to rest and my eyes will come back to correct the typo, what a good eye!
