In the Tongming Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, and the foreign policy of the Great Sui had been decided after a short period of deliberation, in short, it was to divide, divide, and support, and gradually weaken the national strength of the surrounding countries in the civil strife.

"The future foreign strategy is to be flexible and adaptable on the basis of discord, differentiation, and support. Ladies and gentlemen, why is it? Yang Tong looked at everyone and asked, "If you have different opinions, you can put them forward now." ”

There was silence for a long time in the main hall

Yang Gongren: "Wechen has no objection. ”

"Wechen has no objection!" Kong Yingda groaned slightly, and then said with a headache: "However, many, many pseudo-Confucians deliberately misinterpret Confucianism for personal purposes and use the name of a saint for their own benefit. If the Holy One says so, it is very likely that these people will jump out and oppose it. Even if the saint is not affected, I am afraid that he will be led crooked in the future, and I think that if I want to fundamentally retain this radical and martial style, I must start from the teaching aspect. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal." Wei Zheng stood up and said: "Confucianism is indeed based on benevolence, but it is not to teach people blind benevolence, let alone to teach people to be foolish and learned. The Han Dynasty was the most popular dynasty of Confucian revenge, and the cases of killing people for parents, blood relatives and friends emerged one after another, which were praised at the time, and many murderers were pardoned and even rewarded. Of course, revenge is not unlimited, first of all, it must be in line with morality, if your relatives and friends are killed by mistakes, you want to take revenge is unjust. Secondly, adhering to the concept of "benevolence", revenge cannot be infinitely expanded, and it is clearly said in "The Legend of the Ram": "Revenge does not eliminate harm...... The ancient way is also', which means that revenge can only be directed against the enemy himself, and cannot involve more people. So fundamentally, Confucianism is not a soft culture. ”

Yang Tong, who lacked knowledge, couldn't help but be startled when he heard this: "Confucianism still has this kind of murderous thinking? ”

Kong Yingda glanced at Yang Tong, who was speechless and unskilled, and said angrily: "This kind of thinking is actually the soul of Kong Sheng, but it was led crookedly later." ”

This is true.

Just because Confucius himself is an out-and-out character who must be retribution, just look at the dialogue between him and Zigong. Zigong asked Confucius, "What should someone do if they kill their parents?" Confucius's answer was: "Sleeping on the straw mat must always hold a shield and weapon, revenge can not be enjoyed as an official, can not live with the enemy in the same blue world, if you meet the enemy in the market, simply do not even go back to get weapons, go up directly and desperately win." Listen to this, who would think that Confucius was a fool?

But today, the learning of Confucius has been distorted, and the radical learning has declined, and it has been replaced by the "Guliang School" that prevails all over the world.

The philosophy of the 'Guliang faction' is 'a dog bites you, you can't bite back, if so, what is the difference between man and beast'?

'Those foreign barbarians don't know etiquette and don't know shame, so why should the heavenly kingdoms be like them? If the barbarians kill it, it's a big deal to send a woman to kiss them, and if it's not enough, add some extra gold and silver treasures, no matter what, it's better than taking human lives. ’

This kind of thinking was passed down from generation to generation, and gradually emasculated the martial style of Confucian Confucianism and the Han family. Confucianism, which has lost its soul, has evolved into the theory of "clan friendship" and "kinship and concealment". Up to now, in addition to cultivating generations of powerful clans, Confucianism is a civil official who compromises infinitely with the outside world!

As a descendant of Confucius, Kong Yingda inherited authentic Confucianism, so he behaved more fiercely than military generals when dealing with foreign races.

It's just that the 'Guliang faction' is very popular, and he alone can't support the Confucianism that has been led crooked. When Fang Cai said, 'using the name of a saint to seek his own interests', he was referring to the disciples and grandchildren of the 'Guliang faction' who made profits for themselves. As long as the education from generation to generation continues, then the fallacies and heresies of the 'Guliang School' will naturally disappear slowly, and Confucius's martial style will regain its glory.

"It's impossible to change educationally!" Yang Tong's heart moved, "Kong Shangshu is proud of today's today, whether it is knowledge or insight, you can think like this, it is not harmful to the country, I have no reason not to support it." However, Confucianism is like a tree branching, branches and branches, branches and leaves, gradually losing its roots, and many scriptures and meanings are difficult to understand! In particular, since Emperor Wen set up the county school and opened the department to recruit talents, there has been no unified interpretation of the scriptures as teaching materials and course examination standards, which has brought a lot of trouble to education and imperial examinations. ”

Kong Yingda arched his hand and said: "Actually, Wechen has long had this thought, and when he learned from Master Liu Xuan, he was deeply beneficial, and Master Liu also supported Wechen to do this." Over the years, I have been compiling... However, Confucianism flourishes, and the difficulty of being compatible with the advantages of various schools is simply comparable to 'foolish people moving mountains'. The scale of this book is too large for one person to do. The minister implored the Holy Lord to let this rumor out, saying that the Great Sui intended to recruit Confucian scholars from all over the world, with the aim of eliminating the view of the gateway within Confucian scriptures, selecting the best among the many schools, ending all kinds of disputes, abandoning the regional prejudice and gateway view of the southern and northern schools, and trying to merge the hundred branches and integrate them into one! ”

When everyone heard this, they were in awe.

If Kong Yingda successfully compiled this book in his lifetime, he will definitely go down in history and be admired by later generations of Confucian scholars. But he asked Yang Tong to gather the world's Confucian scholars to compile it, and if the world's Confucian scholars gathered, this book would become the crystallization of everyone's wisdom, and his own existence would be infinitely reduced. Of course, Kong Yingda knows this truth, but he is still willing to give up this name, this kind of mind is not something that ordinary people have.

"It is the important task of our generation to carry forward and spread authentic sacred learning!" Yang Tong thought about it for a moment and said, "That's it!" You are in charge of everything in this book, and in the compilation of commentaries, it is up to you to decide the formulation of righteous precedents and the examination of right and wrong. As editor-in-chief, you have the right to choose the best commentaries among the many scripture passages and phrases, and then to elaborate on the commentaries! ”

Kong Yingda was thrilled when she heard it.

The "editor-in-chief" mentioned by Yang Tong is the soul of this masterpiece, where he can not only reflect the value, but also concentrate on the compilation of outstanding Confucian scholars as a classic in Confucianism, why not? However, Kong Yingda has gone through countless worlds, so he is naturally a calm person, and he did not show the excitement in his heart.

"By the way, what's the name of this book?"

"The title of the Five Classics of Justice" is a unified compilation of the "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn" Yishu."

Yang Tong thought for a while and said, "Add the "Four Books" as well!" However, this is a project that has taken countless years, and in order to allow people in the world to read the best Confucianism as soon as possible, it is published in the form of volume by volume! Let's start with the most basic Analects, and in terms of foreign relations, don't teach children to 'how to repay virtue?' Repay grievances with straightforwardness, repay virtue with virtue' is understood as 'repay grievances with virtue'! ”

In the Analects of Confucius, Confucius said, "repay grievances with straightforwardness," which means that "if other people do something sorry for you, you can use your integrity to treat them fairly and correctly." It's not some bullshit 'repaying grievances with virtue', it's all a lie made up casually by a group of pseudo-Confucians who don't know how to pretend to understand. The Analects is the basic textbook, and if 'complaining with virtue' continues to prevail, the children will have to take it with them.

"Whoa!" Kong Yingda surrendered to the order.
