Chapter 40: Passing the Torch

Wait for Xue Xuan to wake up again.

It's already nightfall.

Everyone gathered around the bed, three layers inside and three layers outside. I saw him open his eyes slightly. Step forward immediately.

A man who looked like Lang Zhong said, "Get out of the way." Give the patient some space. ”

Xue Xuan coughed twice and said, "Are you?" ”

Yan Yuxi stepped forward and said, "Master, Your Majesty heard that you are sick and sent the imperial doctor to see you. ”

Xue Xuan forced himself to bow up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

This is Xue Xuan, or Confucian.

In his heart, loyalty and filial piety always come first, even if his current situation is mostly due to the emperor, even if he has no resentment against the emperor in his heart.

But the etiquette is still perfect.

Immediately, he was pressed down by the imperial doctor and said, "Old man, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly." Then he sighed. It is clear that there is no salvation left.

Xue Xuan smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "I see, but I thank you." ”

The Imperial Physician knew that there was something to say between their master and apprentice. So he packed up his things and withdrew.

Xue Xuan's gaze swept over the audience, but he saw that several of the disciples he brought into the Jingshi were there. Even Wu and Bi and several other great Confucians are also there.

Xue Xuan said, "Mr. Wu." ”

Wu Youbi said: "Mr. Xue, if you have anything to say, just say that as long as the foolish brother can do it, he will do it." ”

Xue Xuan said: "I have a strong personality, I have always not known how to advance or retreat, not only hurt others, but also hurt myself, today, it was also expected, however, I can die, but Tianli can not be less than people in charge, this part of the foundation, not only mine, but also Mr.'s, after I die, I will ask Mr. Wu to preside over the overall situation, the way of Zhu Zi, must not decline in the hands of you and me." ”

Wu Youbi said: "Foolish brother understands. ”

Xue Xuan said to Yan Yuxi again: "The way of Zhuzi is the way of the inner saint, and the way of the outer king." This is an negligence, someone caught a flaw, but today, the way of the king of Zhuzi and the king, but someone needs to make up for it. I can't do it. It's up to you to do this one. If you can't do it, go back and recruit disciples, select good talents and teach them, let them do it, and inherit the master and apprentice, and never forget this one thing one day. ”

"Otherwise, I won't be blind."

Yan Yuxi's eyes were red, he knelt on the ground, and said, "The disciple knows. ”

Xue Xuan said: "There is also the Yinxu Oracle Bone Inscription, I have no chance to see it." When you have time in the future, read it to me at the grave. It's not in vain. ”

Xue Xuan seemed to be very excited just now, maybe his condition was too serious, but after this explanation, his spirit faded.

But after a while, he went.

In Xue Xuan's last time, he didn't say a word about his heirs and wives, and in his heart, these things couldn't be compared with the Taoist system of science at all.

In the last moments of his life, his heart was still on science.

Perhaps this moment is the final end of the Biyong Society. Xue Xuan drew an end with his own blood. A blood-red full stop.

The war is far from over.

After Wu Youbi took his disciples to salute, he withdrew. Xue Xuan's funeral, he, an outsider, is not suitable here, and after the funeral tomorrow, it is not too late to come.

Wu and Bi returned to their residence, and the night was long, as if there was no end, and he sat alone in front of an oil lamp. Chen Xianzhang said: "Master, rest early." ”

Wu Youbi felt sleepy at the moment, and said, "You sit down." You know the content of today's meeting. ”

Chen Xianzhang said: "I have just read the manuscript of the Biyong Theory, although some of the content seems to be a little out of the way and has not been sorted out, but the general content is still correct. ”

Wu Youbi said: "What do you think? ”

Chen Xianzhang said: "There is today's meeting, of course, it is the learning of Zhu Zi, focusing on the inner saint and ignoring the outer king, leaving a flaw. But His Majesty has been planning for a long time, and even if Zhu Zi is reborn today, it will be a losing situation. ”

Wu Youbi said: "Today, Xue Xuan fought hard and did not hesitate to live and die, but I only promised and didn't dare to say a word in vain, do you think I'm wrong?" ”

Chen Xianzhang said: "The disciple thinks that the master is not wrong, and today's victory or defeat has been determined before the meeting, or in other words, we have already lost this time when the meeting of Biyong is held itself." ”

"It is difficult to establish a law without following the rules of the country. And now it is the same, Your Majesty has been planning for a long time, not for the ram to learn to open his eyes, but for the way to change the law, it can only be said that His Majesty's ambition cannot be supported by Zhu Zi's learning. ”

"But Your Majesty will always get old, and you will always find out what way to govern the country, and before you do it again, you don't want to do it with Your Majesty, but to overcome the rigid with softness."

Wu Youbi said: "The monarch is also in the sky, and the minister is also the younger brother." To fight against the dry, you can only overcome the strong with the weak. It's just that I did something wrong, and I was ashamed to have Mr. Xue in front of me. ”

Wu Youbi is not without the heart of martyrdom, but seeing Xue Xuan in front, there are not many more of him, and he wants to know what the emperor thinks, so he can prescribe the right medicine.

When the emperor did not put forward his own theory, the position of the emperor had nowhere to attack. But that's no longer the case.

Although the Theory of the Five Worlds was put forward by Wang Shu, a clear-eyed person can naturally see that this is the emperor's idea. So there's a place to start.

Compared with the science of science, it can be said that there are flaws everywhere.

After all, a new doctrine is far from being tempered a thousand times.

Wu and Bi naturally have a chance to refute.

It's just that he never expected that Xue Xuan would go like this. His heart was both ashamed and inspired.

He didn't feel sleepy at all at the moment, and immediately asked his disciple to bring a pen and paper, and then wrote down what the fifth world said on paper

and hang on the wall. Discuss with your disciples what the Fifth World said.

Then I wrote an article with gusto.

It is to refute what the fifth said.

First of all, from the content of the third generation of the Ram faction, it is proposed that the Taiping world is the great Tong world, and in terms of order, the fifth world theory is not valid.

Secondly, he put forward the principle of the repetition of the Heavenly Dao to refute the relationship between the chaotic times and the great Tong world.

Finally, he put forward the truth that the way of heaven changes but the heart of the people does not change.

That is to say, in different historical stages, the inner holy heart is the same, only by revitalizing education, making the people of the world become moral saints, and everyone is blind to each other without harming each other, can the world of great harmony be reached. Nowadays, it is impossible to achieve it with a utilitarian heart.

After this article, Wu Youbi immediately wrote a eulogy about Xue Xuan. spoke highly of Xue Xuan's life, and linked Xue Xuan's death to Taoism.

The so-called literature carries the Tao, Wu and Bi rarely write articles, and he teaches his disciples more by words and deeds, but he has clear thoughts and truths in his heart, and what he writes is loud and sound. The atmosphere is impulsive.

It's just that in the tone, there are many unkind places.

After Chen Xianzhang read it, he said to Wu Hebi alone: "Master, as soon as this article comes out, Your Majesty will be unhappy." ”

Wu Youbi said: "From the way of not from the king, this is the way of my generation." ”

Chen Xianzhang said: "Master, you didn't say that just now. ”

Wu Youbi said: "Before, there was Mr. Xue in front, if Your Majesty is angry, the world's science and science are all like grass, then how do the people of the world look at us." ”

"Reading the books of the sages, what is the so-called? There is no regret about martyrdom. ”

"Moreover, the situation will not be so bad, since he ascended the throne today, he has never sinned against anyone with his words, and it is estimated that he will not be now."

Chen Xianzhang said: "Sir is like this, and the disciple will also stay." ”

Wu and Bi said: "No need, you and I have our own responsibilities, what Mr. Xue said is good, my science is the way of the inner sage, and if I lose the way of the outer king, I will have what I am doing today." I'm here, presiding over Tianlibao, and you go back to Guangdong, concentrate on learning, and make up for the lack of predecessors. ”

"You're not going to be a saint, it's time."

Chen Xianzhang was still worried about Wu and Bi, and said, "It's just ------"

"Don't just do it, if you really want to do it, just wait until I'm dead." Wu Youbi's tone was a little low and said.

Chen Xianzhang knew that there were two meanings in this sentence, one was that he died of illness and died, and the other was that he was killed by the emperor, and the banner of science must always be raised, and it was Chen Xianzhang's responsibility at that time.

Chen Xianzhang took a step back, saluted and said, "Disciple knows. ”

Then he packed up his things and left Jingshi.

Wu and Bi sent Chen Xianzhang away, and suddenly there was a feeling in his heart that he was in the south.
