Chapter 106: Xuanji Academy
From the Han and Wei dynasties to the Tang and Song dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties, great Confucians have emerged, but they still cannot reach consensus on some views. Speaking of the Spring and Autumn Period alone, there are dozens of annotations, every word and sentence are broken and crushed for study, but it is difficult to reach a conclusion about who is true and who is false. Therefore, the Confucian scholar Che Ruoshui of the Song Dynasty satirized the book "Spring and Autumn" in the "Foot Qi Collection", and no one can judge the true meaning, unless Confucius is dug out of the grave to talk about the events of the time, and listen to him personally say the meaning of praise and disapproval, so that it can be completely understood.
This is not rough, and the annotations of later generations are mostly to promote their own opinions, and it is inevitable that they will carry private goods, your private goods, how can others be satisfied, so for thousands of years, the original meaning of Confucius may have been misinterpreted, but those annotations that adapted to the social development and the needs of the imperial court at that time were propagated and gradually handed down.
Xu Youruo and Wei Wuji's word-for-word debate on "Spring and Autumn", not to mention the spirit of vain, but also to say their own words, citing the commentaries of different sages, it is impossible to convince the other party, let alone convince the other party. Even if you are not careful, you will show cowardice and make mistakes, and even collapse the army.
Although Wei Wuji was instructed by Lu Xu, he did have good opinions on "Spring and Autumn", if it weren't for Xu You's use of the most famous theory of "crowning the moon in summer time" in later generations to instantly crush his fighting spirit, and then entangle, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose.
At this moment, a person came out of the corridor, with a limp left foot, but his bearing was not ordinary, and he asked loudly: "Xu Langjun said that Kong Sheng used 'when he walked in summer' to metaphorize the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, I don't know if there is an allusion?" ”
"Youdian!" Xu You didn't reply, and said: "It is recorded in the Analects of Wei Linggong that Yan Hui asked Confucius about the method of governing the country, and Confucius replied that it was 'the time of summer', so it comes from this classic!" ”
Using the "Analects" to prove the "Spring and Autumn Period", this person had nothing to say, bowed down respectfully, and then came to Gu Yun, but he only gave his hand, did not say a word, and left.
Someone quietly stabbed Zhang Tong and said in a low voice: "Who is this person?" He had the courage to question Xu Weizhi in person, and he was so rude to the prince? ”
As a disciple of the Zhang family, Zhang Tong is well-informed, and he is also slightly surprised, and said: "This person should be Xuzhou Fu Zijin, humane North and Southern Wei, and the two people who are the best in Jiangdong in the Spring and Autumn Period, it seems that they have been defeated effortlessly!" ”
Yes, in the eyes of outsiders, Xu Yousheng is relaxed, but only he knows that if it were not for the tireless study and exploration of those great scholars in later generations, how could he stand on this thin waist platform and listen to the cheers of the crowd?
This is not his victory, but the victory of cultural continuity, the victory of historical development, the victory of the latecomers against the pioneers, this victory is not about winning or losing, not about respect and inferiority, but just a collision of wisdom and courage between the Chinese people with the same root and the same species after thousands of years of time and space!
"Get up!"
Xu You helped Wei Wuji up, looked at the layers of people around him, and said loudly: "Since the end of the Han Dynasty, there has been chaos for a long time, Confucian classics are scattered, literature and science are wrong, and there are many teachers who speak many doors, and the chapters and sentences are messy, so that my name and religion are faint, and the saints are dusty, causing Buddhism to prosper and the world to be ashamed of Confucianism." Although you are not talented, I am willing to pour all my family wealth to set up a Xuanji Academy in Lingxiu Mountain, Qiantang, and sincerely invite the world's talents to gather and work together, in addition to the "Spring and Autumn Justice" I have written, it is also necessary to compile "Zhou Yi Justice", "Mao Shi Justice", "Shangshu Justice" and "Liji Justice", collectively known as "Five Classics of Justice". This "Five Classics of Justice" should include the canon, cover the public opinions, delete and cut the complicated, publish and change the omissions, choose the good and follow, test the different sayings of Confucianism, and conform to the secret will of the sages, so that Confucianism can save the classics, let Confucianism understand the scriptures, let the world know where to go, and let the eternal Tao follow. ”
He finally threw out the ultimate purpose of inducing Wei Wuji to debate the Spring and Autumn Period in public, that is, to gather Jiangdong scribes and establish the Xuanji Academy in the name of compiling the justice of the Five Classics.
For a long time in the future, Xu You will not be able to gain a foothold by force, even if the heavens are pitiful, he has penetrated the secrets of the Dao Heart and recovered his martial arts by luck, but he can't let outsiders know.
Therefore, first the poems, then the scriptures, he used them to make a name for himself, and then as a Confucian scholar, he reintegrated the scattered Confucianism. Don't look at the current Chu State, the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism are extremely majestic, but you can look at the next thousand years, Buddhism and Taoism are sometimes prosperous, sometimes declining, only Confucianism is alive and breathing, and it has never been broken.
This is the most unrivaled force in the world!
It's just that many people who are at the center of power are blinded by the glory and strife in front of them, and they can't see what kind of powerful power the Confucian sect is accumulating under the rolling undercurrent.
Once it is erected, there is nothing to do!
In the past few years, Xu You has accumulated and paved the way from scratch, Xu You has been trapped by stubborn diseases, if he can't save himself, he will die and the lights will go out, and all his calculations will be in vain, so until he steals the Lingbao Five Runes, he has the confidence and energy to arrange the next move; Second, after the rebellion of the white thieves, Yangzhou is in ruins, and the recovery of the economy and people's livelihood requires process and time, and food and clothing cannot be satisfied, who cares about the academy and Confucianism?
Therefore, announcing the retreat to write "Spring and Autumn Justice" is not only to hide people's eyes, but also to wait for the opportunity. When Wei Wuji appeared, Xu You keenly sensed that the time had come, and immediately planned to make a plan, deliberately provoked him with rumors, and through the power in the hands of Gu Yun and Dong Zhi, he publicized it to the world, and only then did he have the opportunity to say such demagogic words.
Just like the storage of water in a ten-year embankment, once the flood is discharged, the effect is obvious!
With the power of victory, the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, those who can squeeze their heads to participate in today's event are all Confucian students who are full of learning, Junjie of Yangzhou, especially Gu Lu, Zhu Zhang and other high-ranking disciples.
"Master Xu, if you don't dislike it, I am willing to go to the academy to fill up the people and hold the broom for Master Xu." Wei Wuji was completely impressed by Xu You's profound knowledge and personality charm, and wholeheartedly followed him to achieve the supreme cause of the resurgence of Confucianism.
"Your name is shocking Jiangdong, are you the subordinate who holds the broom? You can choose a day to come to Xuanji Academy to give a lecture, and I will give a lecture on "Spring and Autumn"! ”
Wei Wuji excitedly said: "Good! When I go home and settle down, I will immediately go to Qiantang to join Xu Shi! ”
Since Wei Wuji knelt down, Lu Xu's teeth were almost bitten blood, he had bothered to plan for so long, just to let Wei Wuji challenge Xu You, he would deign to associate with him as a close friend, always thinking about waiting until today to see how Xu You lost face, and then rushed up and trampled a few feet.
Can...... But the result?
His own knife has become the shield of others, his own chess piece, and the stepping stone under the fame of others!
And he himself doesn't even have the qualifications to be a laughing stock, the house is full of friends, and no one cares about a person like him!
It's tolerable, it's unbearable!
Xu is face was really ugly when he saw that Lu Xu's face was really ugly, and a person behind him stood up and deliberately shouted in a mocking tone: "Xu Langjun is not ashamed of his words, and he wants to revitalize Confucianism. In today's world, everyone worships the Buddha, everyone believes in the Tao, and everyone talks about the mysteries, but how many people are willing to deal with the rotten Confucianism? Tell me, what exactly is Confucianism? ”
This assist is really in place, Xu You walked lightly, stood on the edge of the high platform, facing east, stepped on the ground, stood with his hands in his hands, and said: "Confucianism, establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people's livelihood, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations!" ”
Zhang Zai's four sentences of Hengqu are also known as the first Confucian pretense, and can be compared with the sentence of Sakyamuni when he was born: "Heaven and earth, I am the only one."
Countless people's hearts were pounding, and Xu You's soft but seemingly earth-breaking voice echoed in their ears: Confucianism, establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people's livelihood, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations!
"I, Wang Dan of Langya County, am willing to go to Qiantang and help me!"
"Chen Jun Yuan, willing to attach Jiwei!"
"Liangjun Deng Bingzhi's ......"
"...... of Pei Xiuzhi of Yong'an County"
Almost instantly, from north to south, more than a dozen well-known Confucian students have taken the initiative to ask to join the Xuanji Academy, although there is a lack of world-renowned Confucianism, but Xu You's goal today has been achieved, as long as it starts, slowly develops, it is not difficult to invite one or two Confucians to take charge.
What's more, he never forgot that Yuan Jie had promised to fulfill one of his requests. The Yuan family is a Confucian sect in Jiangdong, as long as Yuan Jie's face is entrusted, there is no problem with who to invite to the academy.
Because the atmosphere at the scene was too warm, many people rushed up to the thin waist platform, surrounded Xu You in it, and asked about all kinds of Xuanji Academy, some of them purely wanted to contribute money and efforts, some of them were very smart and saw the opportunity to become famous, and some of them wanted to devote themselves to studying in the academy.
Things in the world are like this, for a grand goal, you can organize the core force, but it is impossible for everyone to strive for this goal, Xu You took the trouble to explain the purpose and prospects of the academy for everyone, he partially embezzled Zhu Xi's Bailu Academy's regulations, with "learning, asking, thinking, and debating" as the main purpose of running the school, reproducing the idea that Confucius has no class, regardless of the noble and low, nor the qualifications, the old and the young, as long as they are willing to belong to Confucianism, they can come to the academy to study, and finally to achieve the mysteries of the ancestors, Think about the purpose of rectifying the unevenness of a hundred schools of thought, and put an end to the current chaotic status quo of Confucianism.
I don't know how long it took, the people around Xu You gathered more and more, Gu Yun looked at the time, and had no choice but to cancel the scheduled program of Li Xianji's performance on stage, and finally persuaded everyone to disperse first, and wait for the future to gather in Qiantang, and then discuss in detail, and then return to the Taishou official residence with Xu You.
"Weizhi, this is "August Post", I gave it to you!" Gu Yun smiled: "I mean what I say, when you defeated Wei Wuji, that glass of wine was still warm." ”
Zhang Zhi's true handwriting has not been circulated in later generations, which will hold the long-known "August Post", Xu You's excitement is beyond words, he can't care about fatigue, and he looks at the desk seriously.
Gu Yun said with a smile: "You have always been indifferent, you don't love money or greed, but you didn't expect to be obsessed with posting!" ”
"Wealth is a foreign thing, and the gold is scattered and returns; The color is a bone scraper, and there are skeletons under the red skin; Only this flying white is a truly immortal thing! ”
"Oh? It turns out that Wei Zhilangjun looks at women in the world like this, if I say it and listen to it, I don't know how many good girls in Jiangdong will be sad! ”
Xu You raised his head, and there was a beautiful beauty standing at the door, wearing an embroidered folded branch embroidered gold ribbon rhombic skirt that mopped the floor, with a green hair and white shirts, rising with the wind around the bib, looking smart and elegant. The head is full of green silk into a bun, the eyes are cut with a phoenix, rippling and clear, and the posture is slender like a crane, proud and charming.
Li Xianji?
Although Xu You hadn't seen it, he seemed to see the shadow of Concubine Song from her. It's just that Concubine Song has been following Guo Mian for a long time, and her temperament quietly brings a bit of nobility, while Li Xianji is more intellectual and elegant, but no matter what, the kind of Qinglou woman's smoky and charming demeanor will always inadvertently jump into your heart lake, gently raising a colorful splash.
