Li Kezheng came back from the escort team, and silently renovated the house for Li Ke and Cheng in Jingyang, and now there are many houses in Jingyang, and many houses are still empty.

Seeing Li Zheng sitting alone by the river, Li Ke asked: "I see you eating on time on weekdays, you must be eating at this hour, why are you sitting here today?" ”

The sky was a little dark, and Li Zheng looked at the river and said, "There's an old man eyeing me." ”

"Which old man?"

"It's the one you put in."

"You said Mr. Li Gang, isn't he your friend?"

"What?"

Li Ke explained: "Mr. Li Gang said that you and he are good friends, so I let him in, and I followed the prince to Jingyang yesterday. ”

Li Zheng was breathing in the still cold air, "People's hearts are sinister. ”

"Who's sinister?"

The old man's voice came from behind him, and Li Zheng looked back to see that it was Li Gang, the old man.

"What do you want, sir?" Li Zheng said helplessly.

Li Gang smiled and said to Li Zheng: "The old man doesn't want Datang to miss a smart person like you. ”

"I'm not a smart person." Li Zheng said.

Li Gang nodded, "I know, they all say you're a fool." ”

"So sir, don't waste your time with me, please go back."

Li Gang still stood in place, "There is no class, the old man can teach you and let you go back to the right path." ”

"Don't!" Li Zheng hurriedly refused: "I am already a disciple of General Li Jing, and if you want to teach it, it will also be General Li Jing to teach me, so you don't have to bother with it." ”

Li Gang sighed with emotion: "The old man is late, he should have come to Chang'an earlier." ”

"Even if you come to Chang'an earlier, it's useless."

The bleak evening breeze blew, and Li Ke felt a little embarrassed when he stood there, so he turned around and went back in another way.

Li Gang sat on the edge of the river beach and asked, "Li Zheng, the old man has seen a lot of smart people. ”

"I'm an idiot."

Li Zheng emphasized.

Li Gang said with a smile: "You are proficient in the Nine Chapters of Mathematics, you can make the Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun, let the Tang Dynasty maneuver between the three parties so that the soldiers are bloodless, take Yinshan, Qinghai, Hexi Corridor, and let the Turks no longer have Khan, a fool like you is rare." ”

The more Li Zheng listened, the more wrong he became.

Li Gang said: "How can a husband stand between heaven and earth, how can he do nothing? ”

Li Zheng said lazily: "Save the people from fire and water, and help the country? ”

Li Gang nodded.

"There are so many capable people in Datang, there is a lot less than me, and let alone saving the people? This is what those fierce men from the sky do, I'm not interested, and it's better for Your Majesty to do this, and it's easy for me to lose my life if I do it. ”

"Life is too short." Li Zheng sighed.

Li Gang also nodded slightly, "Life is short, but we must cherish the present, Jinshi and the first, and cultivate the history of the country." ”

"Forget it, I prefer to make enough money in my limited life and then retire before the age of 30, I think that's the true meaning of life."

Li Gang shook his head and sighed, "Stubborn." ”

Li Zheng smiled disdainfully, "I don't change my original intention." ”

Li Gang said again: "Do you always want to be a small citizen? With your intelligence, you will definitely become the next generation of Confucianism. ”

"To tell you from the heart, I'm not interested in your so-called knowledge, you want people all over the world to read Confucianism, learn Confucianism, the court and even the emperor are orthodox with Confucianism, to put it in my heart, these things are really not uncommon for me."

Li Gang looked at Li Zheng's still immature face.

Li Zheng continued: "Confucianism can't let me eat enough, and Confucian books can't be eaten as food? ”

"The emperors of all dynasties have been advocating Confucianism and respecting Confucian etiquette."

Li Zheng smiled coldly.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Gang was puzzled.

Li Zheng said loudly: "Have those you advocated have changed the way of the world? You preach Confucianism, and you even use Confucianism to persuade the emperor, but you Confucianism has never cared about the life and death of people in the world. ”

"What do these thousands of people want? They want to be fed and not starved to death in the winter. ”

Li Gang: "If there is no Confucianism, how can there be scholars in the world." ”

Li Zheng: "Learning old knowledge, it will be difficult for the world to go further from now on, this is not progress, this is backwardness." ”

"What kind of knowledge do you think should not be considered backward."

Li Zheng smiled and didn't speak.

Li Gang continued: "Does it depend on the science you uphold? What good is that thing for other than to make you rich? ”

Li Zheng grinned and said: "The Tao is not the same, you live like a backbone, and I live like firewood, rice, oil and salt." ”

"And those bones of yours are just a bunch of old guys with old-fashioned knowledge, prides themselves on being high, in my opinion this is very stupid, you dare not accept something that subverts your cognition."

In the pre-Qin period, everyone could put forward their own knowledge, and Confucianism at that time never wanted to curb other schools of thought.

From the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu proposed to depose the hundred schools and respect Confucianism.

In that era of recuperation and recuperation, when the family and the country needed to face the foreign enemies of the Huns, it was indeed necessary to unify their thinking.

and with all the people of the world.

This method is somewhat despicable, but the effect is very good, but the consequences are endless.

It also indirectly created the family and the Shandong Shi family.

A pattern of complete monopoly of knowledge.

Emperors will always choose the ideas that are most conducive to their rule.

But such a large package, cutting off all the side details, almost curbed the development of knowledge.

In the long run, there will be no more than Confucianism in the world.

Li Zheng sneered, "Depose the hundred schools and respect Confucianism alone Dong Zhongshu? He is nothing more than that, he created Confucianism and ruined the hundred schools of thought, what bullshit heaven and man ask, pretending to be great is just a means to consolidate the emperor, taking Confucian knowledge as a thought, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is just using Confucianism to calm people's hearts, how much do you think the emperors of the world can afford Confucianism? ”

"Knowledge became a means for the emperor to consolidate his power, is this really the essence of Confucianism? Is this the true essence of Confucianism? In my opinion, it is a very despicable method,"

Li Gang became more and more angry.

Li Zheng continued: "Don't think too highly of yourself, there are gentlemen and villains in this world. ”

"Li Zheng, do you want to be the enemy of Confucian students all over the world?"

Li Zheng shook the pu fan in his hand and said: "With all due respect, even if you hold high the banner of Confucian unification, you can't make the whole world a gentleman, your goal is wrong, it is doomed to failure, and I don't pay attention to your lofty ideals at all." ”

"Arrogance."

Li Zheng sneered: "I'm sorry, I'm more pragmatic, it's really money, it's really life, it's really making people live well, I think you Confucians just need to keep your spirit, as for the rest, you Confucians can't control it." ”

"You!" Li Gang trembled with anger, lived all his life, and for the first time was belittled by a yellow-mouthed boy to make Confucianism so worthless.

"In my opinion, knowledge is a very free thing, not what you call rules, and at the same time that you want to lock up knowledge, you also lock up an era."

"According to what you say, we Confucian children are sinners for the ages."

"You can't be said to be sinners, you are just a sentence in history, you will become a summary of future generations, and a negative teaching material for future generations."

Li Gang breathed heavily, was stunned, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Li Zheng continued: "After the history has passed, the world's scholars will definitely pay attention to seeking truth from facts, paying attention to materialism and idealism, rather than those inexplicable spiritual pillars, in my opinion, reading and learning has always been to make their own lives better, not to become the mouthpiece of your Confucian classics." ”

Thinking about Li Zheng's words, Li Gang stood in place as if he was in a fixed position.

I think of those Confucian children nowadays, who recite Confucian classics, but they are not diligent.

keeps saying that Confucianism is unified, but he doesn't know how to do things for the people and the world.

It became an honor to persuade the emperor.

Sometimes I think about what Confucianism has become today.

I remember that when I was young, everyone would argue for knowledge, and they would compare each other.

I don't know when it changed its taste, and it was full of all kinds of utilitarianism.

Materialism and idealism are indeed very important, and some students have become the mouthpieces of Confucianism for the sake of those utilitarian interests.

Li Gang smiled bitterly and said, "If the old man is ten years younger, the old man will kill you now." ”

Li Zheng smiled again, "If it weren't for your age, I would have blasted you out a long time ago, so why bother talking." ”

Talking to someone with different values is very brain-draining.

is pedantic and conservative, which is vividly reflected in Li Gang's body.

Everything in Confucianism has advantages and disadvantages, it is just a choice of the times.

But blindly advocating Confucianism will only make knowledge wither.

Li Gang said in a low voice: "The old man has lived all his life, and he has seen many, many people, some of whom are duplicitous, and some of whom are bent to welcome, you are very honest." ”

"I advise the old gentleman, don't think about me anymore, I really don't have Huigen to be your Confucian."

Li Gang continued: "You dare to question and argue, now there are fewer and fewer people like you, and too many people are flattering. ”

Listening to this, it doesn't feel right! Look at this old man's eyes and there seems to be a smile in his eyes?

Isn't it upset?

Li Zheng hit a spirit.

It was already dark, but the moonlight was bright tonight.

The starry sky was clean.

Li Gang nodded and smiled again: "The old man admires you very much." ”

"Don't! I'm afraid that the Confucian disciples will kill me and then quickly. ”

"How can we talk about life and death in the face of righteousness?"

"But pull it down, what is the righteousness when your life is gone."

"Indeed, it is necessary to live."

After Li Gang finished speaking, he picked up a stone and said, "Li Zheng, the old man thinks you are like a stubborn stone." ”

Li Zheng said: "Mr. Li, you are the prince's teacher, you should teach the prince well, I really don't have Huigen, you just let me go." ”

Li Gang nodded, "When you were kicked out of the house by the eldest grandson's family, are you still minding about that incident?" ”

"Nope." Li Zheng shook his head.

"It's true that if you change to someone else, you will feel uncomfortable."

Li Zheng stood up and said, "I really didn't mind this matter. ”
