Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Rock Breaker

Xue Xuan said: "Your Majesty, there may be mistakes in the ancient texts and books, but they will never be all wrong, and even if this book is wrong, there are other books as circumstantial evidence. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Yes, I also got some circumstantial evidence today. Just for everyone to see. ”

Immediately, Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, and immediately someone came up with a book in his hand, and everyone had one in their hand.

Xue Xuan opened it and saw that his body seemed to be shocked, and his whole body was shocked.

This book, if nothing else, is a bound book with oracle rubbings.

Of course, some people have seen it.

For example, Wang Shu.

Now, even Wang Shu, who has personally sorted out and bound the oracle bone inscriptions, is also excited at this moment.

Although the content of these oracle bone inscriptions is fragmented, they describe an ancient Shang Dynasty that coincides with and differs from the classics and histories.

The cruelty and cruelty in it broke many of Wang Shu's illusions.

Of course, there are still many problems, but even so. It is also like a needle piercing the Confucian praise of antiquity.

What does true antiquity look like? Hit a big question mark?

This question will directly affect the foundation of Confucianism.

After all, since Confucius, they have respected the Duke of Zhou and respected the rules and regulations left by the ancients. Confucianism says that if you want to stand, you must face this problem.

Of course.

It's not impossible to face it.

The bamboo book unearthed in the Jin Dynasty, the content of which is also a great rebellion for Confucianism, and finally it was a fake book, which was lost many times, and now this can also be dealt with in this way.

It's just that it was the emperor who carried out these things.

It is impossible to deal with the emperor with this method.

In other words, how to explain the question of antiquity is a problem that contemporary Confucianism has to face, and once it is recognized, it is more likely that the ancient times are said by the Bamboo Book Chronicle rather than by Confucianism.

So how to maintain Confucian scholarship is a big question.

Xue Xuan looked at the marks of these armor pieces, turned them over one by one, his eyes opened more and more, he only felt that the qi and blood in his chest were surging, and a mouthful of blood went up his throat. In the end, he was forcibly blocked by Xue Xuan.

Don't be rude before you.

This is the insistence of a Confucian minister.

Only now, his mind went blank. I lost the ability to think, I couldn't say anything, and I didn't know what to say.

"May I ask your majesty, where did these things come from?" Wu Hebi couldn't care about being rude, and hurriedly asked.

Zhu Qizhen said: "In Zhangde Mansion, that is, Yindi. ”

Wu Youbi said: "There are only rubbings in the book, please look at the object." ”

As soon as Wu Hebi said this, many ministers immediately responded, and they asked to observe.

Zhu Qizhen also knows that the reason is like this

There are two reasons for this.

One reason for this is that these things, no matter how much impact they have, are valuable information. Only a good study can solve the problems he brings.

Another reason, some people are also worried, this thing is fake.

After all, nothing can be done in politics. The matter of doing fake books, the emperor today has actually done it, and the recently popular book "Duanmuzi", many people know, is a fake in the palace.

Just because you don't say it doesn't mean you don't know.

But this thing and that Duanmuzi are completely different things.

That "Duanmuzi" does not involve Jingyi Avenue, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, but today's nails are different.

This is something that has to do with Taoism.

Because Han Yu's Taoism was Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, King Wen, King Wu, Zhou Gong, and Lao Tzu, to Confucius to form the Confucian school, which was passed on to Zisi and Mencius, and as for Mencius, the heart method was not transmitted.

Han Yu's theory directly gave birth to a line of Taoism.

It can even be said that many Confucians in the Song Dynasty were just trying to supplement the lost thoughts.

This thing, even if it is desperate, cannot make the emperor fake.

Zhu Qizhen said: "It's all in the big house, if you look at it first, you will report to the cabinet and enter the palace in batches to observe." ”

Zhou Hongmo said: "Your Majesty, the minister proposed to build a new pavilion with oracle bones, so that Academician Hanlin could raise it, and ordered Zhangde Mansion to see if there were any oracle bones that were also there. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "In this matter, Jinyiwei and Dongchang have already started to work. I will also choose a palace in the palace to store the oracle bones. ”

Seeing this, Zhou Hongmo understood that Zhu Qizhen actually said that this matter can only be directly intervened by the royal family, and others are not allowed to get involved, even if it is to be studied, it can only be studied in the palace.

The emperor has to occupy the right to speak in this regard.

Yu Qian's gaze swept over everyone, and he also knew in his heart that at this moment, these people's minds were on the oracle bones, and they had no intention of discussing the scriptures at all.

Yu Qian came out and said: "Today's discernment, Zhu Zi's learning, is very subtle, but it is more important than the way of the inner sage, and the learning of the outer king, so I ask Your Majesty to choose the great Confucianism to rebuild the Thirteen Classics." to spread the word to the world. ”

The big books that Emperor Taizong repaired are the "Four Books", "Five Classics" and "Sex and Reason", which are generally called "Four Books and Five Classics", and the leading idea is science.

And what Yu Qian said now is not this "Four Books and Five Classics", but the "Thirteen Classics". That's an obvious hint.

What we are talking about today will certainly be reflected in this reconstruction.

Perhaps there will be no change in the text of the scriptures, but the idea of interpreting the commentary will certainly change dramatically.

It's just that now Oracle has smashed everyone's positions at once.

Most people don't know how to face this problem, and it seems hopeless to oppose it for a while, and it seems unwilling to oppose it.

Zhu Qizhen simply didn't give them time to think about it, and said, "Good." ”

This short syllable has come to an end for a meeting of Biyong.

It's just that this Biyong meeting is the end of an era, and the exclusive position of science has been profoundly shaken. It is the beginning of another hundred schools of thought.

This is far from the end.

After Zhu Qizhen left first, the ministers left one by one.

Xue Xuan staggered, as if he was a walking corpse, Wu Hebi saw this, a little worried, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said, "Mr. Xue, your body is very good." ”

Xue Xuan didn't speak. Now he shook his head gently.

Xue Xuan came out of the Biyong Palace, and his disciples, led by Yan Yuxi, were greeting him here. And Wu and Bi's disciples are also greeting Wu and Bi.

Yan Yuxi was taken aback when he saw Xue Xuan's pale face and unsteady steps, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xue Xuan opened his mouth, and countless blood clots almost coagulated into blood clots, flowing down his chin, coating the entire deep coat with large patches of blood.

This is Xue Xuan's last stubbornness.

When he got the oracle bone rubbing, Xue Xuan's body was almost destroyed by an invisible force. He knew that he was defeated.

Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, King Wen, King Wu, Duke of Zhou, Lao Tzu, Zisi, Mencius, Han Yu, Ercheng, Zhu Zi, and even the Taoist system inherited from the great Confucians of this dynasty have now been shaken.

This sense of guilt destroyed Xue Xuan's body and mind.

It is also impossible for an old man in his sixties and seventies to not have a little old disease on his body. It's a seizure at the moment. A gentleman dies without a crown.

Xue Xuan tried his best to maintain his last decency.

Seeing Xue Xuan like this, the disciples gathered one after another, but Xue Xuan didn't look at anyone, but looked up to the sky and sighed, saying, "Why don't you let me die a few years early." ”

Immediately, his eyes turned red and black, and he fell to the ground. I only faintly heard countless people shouting, "Sir, Master, Yunyun." ”

This sentence, why not die early, is a true portrayal of Xue Xuan's heart at the moment.

If he had died a few years earlier, it would not have died young. I won't face the pain of being punished now. Not to mention the pain of powerlessness.

Yes, the old man may have a lot of experience. But the ability to relearn is gradually weakening.

Therefore, Xue Xuan is very self-aware, and he can't afford to save Confucianism from today's crisis.

In the face of such a situation, he could not do anything, and even in the future, he was a sinner of Confucianism. It made him heartbroken, and it was worse than death.

Moreover, he had a hunch that he might not survive for a few days today.

After living for a few more years, I encountered such a problem. In Xue Xuan's opinion, it is better to die early. It's just that time never gives people a second possibility. Xue Xuan's remorse can't save the current situation.
