Chapter 731: The Kong Family Enters Beijing
The brick road from Luoyang to Chang'an City is the busiest official road in the world, unless the road is closed for a few days after heavy snow before the year, the other time the vehicles come and go endlessly, and the business travel is endless.
A long convoy slowly came from the east, and the two-wheeled carriages of all colors stood out next to the four-wheeled carriages speeding by, which couldn't help but make everyone look sideways.
Nowadays, on the brick roads of Chang'an City and Luoyang, two-wheeled carriages are extremely rare, with few pulls, laborious and bumpy, and most of them have been replaced by more advanced four-wheeled carriages.
"Second uncle, in my opinion, a four-wheeled carriage is more comfortable, why should the second uncle be so stubborn?"
In the middle of the convoy, the curtain of a carriage was lifted, revealing Kong Huisuo's young face, looking at the four-wheeled carriage whistling by next to him with envy, and shouted loudly, he had been very uncomfortable by the bump of the two-wheeled carriage.
An old man with white hair in front of the convoy said angrily: "The four-wheeled carriage is the stuff of the Mo family, and you and I are the descendants of Confucius, orthodox Confucianism, how can we benefit from the Mo family." ”
Kong Huisuo looked at the stubborn old man helplessly and said: "The four-wheeled carriage was there before Qin, why did the Mo family pioneer it, and besides, we don't change the carriage produced in Mojia Village, don't we still have the four-wheeled carriage of other workshops?" ”
"Those don't work, after all, the four-wheeled carriage arose because of the Mo family, and we are walking outside, but it is the face of the Confucian family, what do the people of the world think when they see us riding in the four-wheeled carriage?" The second uncle said stubbornly.
"The brick road is still interested because of the Mo family, and we are not walking on it?" Kong Huisuo pouted.
"You ......" Kong Huisuo didn't open which pot to mention, which pot immediately angered the second uncle.
Kong Huisuo hurriedly retracted his head and said, "Second uncle, don't be angry, I'm just worried that your old body won't be able to hold up." ”
Kong Huisuo kept shaking with the two-wheeled carriage, although the brick road was extremely convenient, but it was not absolutely flat, and the two-wheeled carriage had no shock absorption at all, the effect could be imagined.
Kong Huisuo stayed in the car and shook it, couldn't help but be extremely bored, picked up two thick stacks of newspapers and periodicals and read them, one stack was Confucianism and the other was ink, whenever he saw Merton's news, he couldn't help but pay attention to it.
"It's only been a year since we separated, and I've missed so many things, even Brother Mo is getting married." Kong Huisuo sighed, he is like an ancestral king, how can he be willing to do nothing in his hometown, and now that he has an opportunity to come to Chang'an City, he will naturally not miss it.
Although the two-wheeled carriage was very slow, the brick road was smooth all the way, and the convoy of the Kong family gradually approached Chang'an City, and soon a majestic city appeared at the end of the brick road.
"Chang'an City has arrived!" Kong Huisuo muttered.
After a year, he finally returned to Chang'an City again.
……………………
"Qufu Kong's convoy?"
Outside Chang'an City, everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the flag of the Kong family flying high in front of the convoy.
"After the saint?"
Many pedestrians have been in awe and have given way, the name of Confucius is well known, the influence of the Confucian family can be imagined, but all those who read, all respect it, and the imperial court will also give a certain reward to the Confucian family in Qufu every year, and the contemporary head of the Confucian family, Kong Delun, is a praise saint, which can be described as extremely preferential treatment.
"It turned out to be the convoy of Bao Shenghou, please come in quickly." The guards at the east gate of Chang'an City did not add any search and directly let the way.
Under a series of preferential treatment, but the people of the Kong family are not shocked, it is not surprising that they can encounter such treatment everywhere.
As the convoy of the Kong family left, the people of the East City Gate were in an uproar and talked about it.
"Confucianism can't sit still, the entire Chang'an City is lively all of a sudden, and the hundreds of schools of thought are about to be gathered." Many people looked at the convoy of the Kong family and said with a smile.
This is already the fourth large-scale entry into Chang'an City, the first Mo family, with great fanfare, stirred up the situation in Chang'an City, the second is a public loser, the third is the Daomen Conference, the momentum of the Daomen, and now the Confucian family has finally entered Chang'an City on a large scale. Not to mention the strong rise of the Legalist family in Mojia Village and the doctor's family.
"The descendants of Confucius have already come, how can the Mo family be rampant now?" A Confucian student watched the Confucian family's convoy leave, and a trace of fanaticism flashed in his eyes, and he said complacently, the Confucian family came to inject them with a shot of strengthening, but all Confucian students cheered and cheered.
"The Mo family is about to hold an ink art exhibition on February 2, and at this moment, the Kong family is coming, I'm afraid it's not good!" A man of insight frowned.
Everyone knows that the Confucian family's entry into Chang'an City on such a large scale is probably to save the situation of Confucianism in decay day after day.
"The descendants of Confucius are naturally unwilling to lose the exclusive status of Confucianism, and this time Chang'an City is probably really a hundred schools of thought!" An idler
"A hundred schools of thought contend?" Everyone took a deep breath and couldn't help but look forward to it.
However, soon, the news of the entry of the Qufu Confucian family into Chang'an City soon spread throughout Chang'an City.
"Meet the second uncle!"
In the Confucian Mansion, Kong Yingda respectfully saluted the old man of the Confucian family, and Kong Huisuo respectfully sat on the side.
"Let's talk about the current situation!"
Second Uncle Kong frowned and said, he came all the way and found too many things that had changed a lot, which had become a little unknown to him.
Kong Yingda smiled bitterly: "The current situation, the second uncle has also seen it, and under the promotion of the Mo family, hundreds of schools have risen one after another, and I am afraid that the results achieved in three years will be more than in the past hundred years, and in comparison, my Confucianism is somewhat dwarfed." ”
Second Uncle Kong snorted coldly: "It's not just dwarfed, it's just eating the old book!" The faces of the Confucian ancestors have been disgraced by us. ”
Confucianism was the only one before this, and in just three years, it was almost caught up by other hundred schools, and if the boat did not advance, it would retreat, but this was also true for the contention of a hundred schools.
"The Mohist "Mozi Secret Book" and a number of Mohist secret techniques are surprising, the Taoist Neidan faction has written strange books such as "Tui Bei Tu", the Waidan faction of gunpowder secret arts, the doctor's hospital, the Legalist delusional self-reliance, even the public loser, the arithmetic has made great progress, and what achievements have I made in the past few years?" Second Uncle Kong roared angrily.
Kong Yingda was silent for a while, in contrast, Confucianism is indeed eating the old book. It can even be said that since Dong Zhongshu respected Confucianism, he has been eating the old book, although Confucianism has achieved the position of sole respect, but it has lost its enterprising heart, and since then, there has been no Confucian classics that can be mastered.
"It's not without accomplishments." Kong Huisuo on the side muttered quietly.
"What did you say?" Second Uncle Kong said sternly.
Kong Huisuo said boldly: "The birth of printing, a large number of Confucian classics are widely circulated, punctuation marks and sentences are broken, making learning more accurate, and there is a strange Confucian Li Fuzi presiding over the Confucius Academy, determined to popularize the world's education, isn't this a Confucian achievement?" ”
Second Uncle Kong sneered: "You will put gold on your face, who discovered the printing technique, it was Mo San, a disciple of the Mo family, who discovered the punctuation, Mo Jiazi, and even Li Duo, a Confucian outcast, is also supported by the Mo family." ”
Kong Huisuo suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness, Second Uncle Kong was very stubborn, and once he heard that it was related to the Mo family, he rejected them all.
"Now I, Confucianism, must expand my influence, and in the short term, I must come out with a work in my hands, by the way, how is the compilation of the "Five Classics of Justice"?" Second Uncle Kong turned his head to Kong Yingda and asked.
Kong Yingda's compilation of the "Five Classics of Justice" was strongly supported by the Confucian family, coupled with the emergence of punctuation, there were many differences about the concept of scriptures, and Kong Yingda's compilation of the "Five Classics of Justice" can be said to be opportune.
"Back to the second uncle, it has been roughly completed, once the proofreading is completed." Kong Yingda nodded, he originally wanted to wait, but unfortunately the situation in Confucianism now can't allow him to drag.
"This time, I brought a lot of Confucian children, and the matter of proofreading was handed over to them, and it will be published as soon as it is completed." The second uncle said categorically.
Kong Huisuo on the side pouted and said, "Isn't it published by printing?" ”
Second Uncle Kong suddenly ascended to heaven with seven orifices, and after a long time, it slowly subsided.
"The grandson knows his mistake, and asks the second uncle to punish him!" Kong Huisuo obediently pleaded guilty.
"Forget it, it's the old man who is biased, Confucius said that there must be my teacher in the threesome, and now that the Mo family is rising, the Kong family can't avoid it." Second Uncle Kong said with a dejected face.
Kong Yingda on the side nodded with deep understanding, he was often in Chang'an City, so he naturally knew how deep the Mo family's influence was on Chang'an City, and now it has penetrated into food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there are countless of them.
"Also, Li Duo has such ambitions, and he can be regarded as a character, if he wants to change his mind and leave the Mo family, Confucianism is willing to accept him again." Second Uncle Kong took a deep breath and thought that he had made a huge concession.
Li Duo's idea of the Confucius Academy and compulsory education is a great deal for a discerning person to see, and if he can be included in the Confucian pocket and carried forward, his achievements will certainly be unlimited. After all, Confucianism has not been able to get its hands on works recently, and Confucianism can barely make it difficult.
Nowadays, Confucianism does not have many bargaining chips, and even if he is as stubborn as he is, he has to make concessions.
"Nephew, I'll arrange it." Kong Yingda nodded.
"No, the old man will meet this person in person." Second Uncle Kong is fair.
Kong Yingda was stunned for a moment, and was about to mention that the reason why Li Duo was called a strange Confucian, was not so easy to be convinced, and suddenly, the housekeeper of the Confucian Mansion hurriedly came to report; "Master, the Mo family is here to ask to see!".
"Mo family!" Kong Yingda couldn't help but pause, and couldn't help but look at the second uncle Kong on the side, as soon as the Kong family's convoy arrived, someone from the Mo family came, obviously they also got the news.
Second Uncle Kong snorted coldly and said: "The person who comes is a guest, my Confucianism pays attention to etiquette, and the Mo family is also a hundred schools of thought on the same level as Confucianism, so naturally we must not be rude, but we have to see what medicine is sold in the Mo family's gourd." ”
"Invite someone in!" Kong Yingda said.
"Yes!"
The housekeeper of the Confucian Mansion left in a hurry, and after a while, led Fu Bo into the Confucian Mansion.
"I've seen the priest." Fauber bowed.
"It turned out to be Butler Fu, Butler Fu is polite?" Kong Yingda said politely.
Fu Bo turned his head to look and saw the second uncle Kong on the side, and couldn't help but light up and said: "This is the ancestor of the Kong family, and the Mo family is polite."
"Don't dare, Kong Desheng of the Kong family! I've seen the Mo family. Second Uncle Kong Desheng returned the courtesy. He was extremely old-fashioned, and although he adhered to etiquette, he was extremely arrogant, and did not meet Fu Bo, but only the Mohist who had the same name as Confucianism.
"German generation, this person is the same generation as the contemporary Confucian family."
Fu Bo thought secretly in his heart, but he was not rude because of Kong Desheng's arrogance: "My young master and Young Master Kong are classmates, and when I heard that the ancestors of the Kong family have arrived, naturally we must not be rude, but my young master has recently prepared for the ink art exhibition and can't get out of his body. ”
Kong Desheng's face was expressionless, and the scene was embarrassing.
"Thank you, Fauber." Kong Huisuo hurriedly stepped forward to take the invitation and said politely, he had been to Mofu many times, and Fu Bo had treated him very well.
Fu Bo did not embarrass Kong Huisuo, but nodded and said, "Fu Mou farewell!" ”
"It's the box of the Ink Art Exhibition!" Kong Huisuo looked down at the invitation ticket, and couldn't help but be stunned, there are not many boxes in the ink art exhibition, but he didn't expect to give them one directly.
"Invite us to participate in the ink art exhibition, the Mo family is demonstrating!" Kong Desheng frowned.
Kong Yingda frowned and said: "Before this, Mo Jiazi once argued with Yu Zhining in the court, and about to tell the way of the Mo family saints on the day of the Mo Art Exhibition, and Mo Jiazi personally invited me to wait, I am afraid that I have been prepared, and the person who came is not good!" ”
"The Way of the Saints! The Mo family is not claiming that the Mo family is not involved in the affairs of the court, it seems that he can't help but show his fox tail, and he is ready to start talking about the way of the Mo family. Kong Desheng said coldly.
"Second uncle, knowing this and knowing that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Kong Huisuo naturally wanted to go to the ink art exhibition, and he couldn't help but agitate.
Kong Yingda couldn't help glaring at Kong Huisuo, he naturally knew Kong Huisuo's plans, but he didn't expect Kong Desheng to nod slowly and said: "It's okay, the Mo family has been silent for a thousand years, and the world knows less about it, maybe it's time for Confucianism to reacquaint itself with the Mo family." ”
Kong Huisuo immediately rejoiced: "Second uncle is wise! ”
Kong Desheng sneered: "It's still early on the second day of February, and the old man happens to be idle, so I'll go to meet this weird Confucian Li Duo first." ”
