Chapter 902: The Confucian Choice
Night!
Kong Yingda dragged his tired body back to the Confucian Mansion and sat in the hall with a sad face.
"What? Bad news again! Kong Desheng's old voice suddenly sounded.
Kong Yingda saw Kong Desheng coming slowly, and said with a wry smile: "Why does the second uncle ask knowingly, you won't have heard of such a big thing as the Mo family's Xiangfu family entering Beijing!" ”
"You're worried about this?" Kong Desheng couldn't deny it, picked up the teacup unhurriedly, and took a sip.
Kong Yingda sighed deeply, and said with a solemn face: "This time, the Xiangfu family entered Beijing in one vein, and as soon as it was launched, it was a project such as the Weishui Bridge, and the two veins of the Mo family were shining with the sun and the moon, echoing each other, and the reputation of the Mo family will surely rise again." ”
It's just a Mojia village that is in full swing, and the Mo family Xiangfu has just come out of the mountain, and it has brought such an amazing masterpiece, it is simply not a dragon but a river!
Kong Desheng snorted coldly and said, "What is this? The Mo family has been for three thousand years, unless Mozi is reborn, the three veins will never merge, just like I wait for Confucianism, even if we wait for Confucius to be a saint, how can I control the entire Confucianism? Not to mention that the Mo family is only weak and weak, if the old stubbornness of the Xiangfu family is allowed to throw themselves into the Mo family's door, it will be difficult to kill them. ”
Kong Yingda nodded, compared with the three points of the Mohist family, the Confucianism division is more fragmented, the seventy-two disciples of Confucius are not to mention for the time being, plus Mencius, Xunzi, and the Confucian branches that came from the Han Dynasty, various ideas and propositions are endless, and even attack each other, so that they can be integrated, it is simply impossible.
"Having said that, but now the Mo family is unstoppable, the medical family is flourishing, the military family is reforming, the Legalists are dormant, Taoism is also improving step by step, and even Buddhism has begun to revive, and only Confucianism is ..................standing still." Kong Yingda said in a deep voice.
"Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, this is the dilemma of Confucianism!" Kong Desheng hit the nail on the head.
Kong Yingda nodded thoughtfully, he naturally knew this truth, but after a thousand years of prosperity, Confucianism can be said to have reached its peak, and it is so difficult to make more progress.
If it is only the revival of one of the hundred schools, Confucianism may not hesitate to destroy the flowers and nip them in the bud, but the current situation is that a hundred schools of thought go hand in hand, if Confucianism moves one, not only will the teacher be nameless and attract the dissatisfaction of the imperial court, I am afraid that it will immediately attract the counterattack of other hundred schools.
"Mo family, Mo family!" Kong Yingda gritted his teeth a little and said, all this situation is a chain reaction brought about by the revival of the Mo family, when the Mo family led the Mojia Village to beat gongs and drums into Chang'an City, Kong Yingda heard about it, just smiled and regarded it as a clown jumping off the beam.
Then Mo Jiazi entered the Guozijian, and the two and a half poems amazed the Guozijian, and Kong Yingda only regarded it as a talented man who was proud of his talents, but who would have thought that a Mo Jiazi would be able to set off such a big storm and change the pattern of hundreds of schools for hundreds of years.
"In the pre-Qin period, a hundred schools of thought contended, Confucianism was only one of the hundred schools, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism. It's a pity that the trick of the Confucian family has been peeked through by the Mo family, that is, the support of the emperor, the Mo family did not hesitate to violate the Mo family tradition, and took the initiative to make the Mo family's ink skills public, just to obtain the support of the emperor, it is obvious that the Mo family succeeded, so the other hundreds of schools have followed suit, and sold the learning to the emperor's family to the fullest, but in the end there is only one person who benefits, that is, His Majesty today. ”
Kong Desheng stayed in Chang'an City for a long time, that is, he was studying the situation of the hundred schools, and he found that all the things of the hundred schools seemed to be the little catfish of the Mo family stirring up the wind and rain again, but there was always Li Shimin behind him, which made him worried, I don't know whether Li Shimin was dissatisfied with the dominance of the Confucian family, or the counterattack against the Confucianism when Li Shimin rebelled, which is also the reason why Confucianism did not dare to act rashly.
"Hundreds of schools, in the eyes of the emperor, we are just a chess piece!" Kong Yingda said helplessly, originally Confucianism also had the means to check and balance the emperor, but under the chaos of the Mo family, all these means came to naught.
"Hundreds of schools, chess pieces! This is the mission of our hundreds of schools, and now that the hundred schools of thought are contending again, it is obvious that with the support of His Majesty, Confucianism will maintain its exclusive position, and it is time to work hard. Kong Desheng said loudly.
"How hard is it?" Kong Yingda said helplessly, the development of Confucianism is the most special, the theory of Confucius and Mencius has directly reached the peak, and the descendants of the two classics cannot be surpassed at all, which is also the reason why Confucianism can be exalted, and it is even more difficult to go further.
This Confucianism and Taoism are similar, Confucius and Mencius Lao Zhuang said that no one can match the descendants, but Mojia and other hundred schools are just the opposite, the knowledge of the pre-Qin princes is just a bud, after thousands of years of accumulation, the final accumulation, once out of the mountain is dazzling Tang Dynasty.
"It's hard, but it's not without a chance?" Kong Desheng's words changed and said confidently.
Kong Yingda's eyes lit up and said, "Please also ask the second uncle to speak clearly!" ”
"Li Duo's Master's Academy and Compulsory Education!" Kong Desheng said solemnly.
"But Li Duo rejected the second uncle in public............ Kong Yingda frowned, he naturally knew the importance of the Confucius Academy, after Kong Desheng entered Beijing, he wanted to incorporate Li Duo as soon as possible, but unfortunately Li Duo directly refused to attribute the Confucius Academy to Confucianism.
"Then the old man will come to the door again, for the future of Confucianism, even if the old man loses his face, why worry about it." Kong Desheng waved his hand, and he was as single as Tian Yu.
"The second uncle is concerned with Confucianism, and I admire it." Kong Yingda complimented.
"Master's College and compulsory education, Confucianism must be led, all the people in the world, Shi farmers and industry and commerce, Shi as the head, the Mo family is just a small control of the craftsman industry, as long as Confucianism firmly controls the way of officials, it is naturally as stable as Mount Tai, and even let the Mo family be used by Confucianism." Kong Desheng said firmly.
"But the strange Confucian Li Duo has a strange temper, and the Confucius Academy is his life's work, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince!" Kong Yingda worried.
"As long as Li Duo agrees to Confucianism as the leading factor, Confucianism will not interfere in the affairs of the Confucius Academy, and will even vigorously support compulsory education, in the final analysis, he is still a Confucian person, I believe that this time Li Duo will definitely not refuse." Kong Desheng finally let go of his arrogant posture for the sake of Confucianism.
"And this time, the old man came prepared and brought a gift to the Master Academy that they couldn't refuse." Kong Desheng stretched out his hand, and Kong Huisuo, who was standing on the side, hurriedly handed over a palm-slap-sized, four-finger-thick book and placed it in front of Kong Yingda.
"Dictionary!" Kong Yingda looked at the top two big characters and said solemnly.
