Chapter 126: Cai Yong's Philosophical Questions

Luoyang Taixue, the first lesson of the school year.

Cao Shuo's classroom is spacious, bright, and elegantly decorated, with a high-quality leather mat on each seat.

On the mat is a desk, and on the desk is a small wooden box.

Inside the box, there are brushes, ink treasures, inkstones, seals, carving knives, bamboo slips, and even handkerchiefs and sachets.

These are all specially prepared by Cai Yong for every student.

In the education of Taixue, he perfectly inherited Qiao Xuantian's character of not being afraid of the earth, and submitted a letter to the Son of Heaven, asking for money, treatment, subsidies, materials, in short, it is a sentence - no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education.

Gain and loss, the current Son of Heaven has money in his hands, and he is not panicked, plus Cai Yong always mentions the sentence "Education is the future of the Han, and not paying attention to education is delaying the future of the Han!" ”

All of a sudden, all the emperors and eunuchs did not dare to slack off, and allocated funds from the treasury and Wanjin Hall. In addition, Liu Hong's own son is still among them, so it is not a loss to think about it.

In the first lesson of Taixue, Cai Yong asked all the freshmen the same question, "Why do people live?" ”

All of a sudden, it rose to the height of philosophy.

The students spoke one after another, and Yuan Tan said that he wanted to glorify his ancestors and let the Yuan family change from the third prince of the fourth generation to the third prince of the fifth generation;

Liu Qi said that he wanted to honor his parents and accompany his family;

Liu Zhang was more direct and replied "I'm not hungry when I'm full", which caused everyone to laugh;

Shang Shuling's right Cheng Quanrou's brother Quan Xu replied, "I want to serve the Han Dynasty and live through the ages." The eyes are firm, which makes Cao Shuo have a sense of déjà vu that he dreamed of being a scientist when he was a child.

Liu Wei scratched his head, thought for a long time and replied. "It doesn't matter if you don't serve the country or not, the main thing is to be loyal to the king."

His idea is actually very simple, according to the meaning of his mother, Queen He, he is the future king, and the purpose of everyone's life is to be loyal to me! I can beat whoever I want, and I will dismiss whoever I don't like.

……

In the face of the students, some of them were decent, and some of them answered whimsically.

Cai Yong had a wisp of beard, full of interest, but in the end he still didn't show a satisfied smile, he raised his head and asked one last time.

"Cao Shuo? What do you think? Why do people live? ”

"Well, this one!"

Cao Shuo thought for a moment, and then rolled his eyes before answering.

"Actually, I think that a person's life doesn't necessarily have to be celebrated in later generations, because it has nothing to do with when he was alive. Now we can study in Taixue, which can be regarded as standing at the top of the academic world and occupying the most resources, but if we succeed in learning, we can live like a human being in a short period of decades! There's no point in making those unrealistic fantasies. ”

Call... Live like a human being?

Cai Yong's face was pale, after decades of teaching and educating people, in the face of this question, it was the first one to answer like Cao Shuo.

However, it is the words "living like a human" that have the same end as his understanding.

Hahaha...

Cai Yong laughed, immediately raised his hand, and preached to the students.

"Life is actually an accident, each of us wants to become what others look like, such as the expectations of parents, such as the glory of the family, such as the future of the Han, but it is precisely that the person who is most easily ignored is yourself!"

The awakening of self-consciousness is the first lesson that Cai Yong wants to teach.

The so-called self-consciousness, if it is placed in modern times, it is nothing at all, for example, Cao Shuo is an only child, and the concept of self-consciousness is innate and deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

But Cai Yong's words were told by the Han Dynasty more than 1,800 years ago, in this era, people were born in the consciousness of "divine authority of kings", and their heads were even more shackles of heaven and earth, gods, kings, relatives, and teachers, and "self" was often the easiest to ignore and dilute...

Cai Yong's thinking is very advanced, and he even realized that the so-called Confucianism has been changed beyond recognition by Dong Zhongshu.

At the same time, the creativity of Dahan students is being constrained by rules and regulations, and emancipating the mind and putting forward self-awareness is an indispensable and vital step in Taixue education.

The students listened as if they didn't understand, and Cai Yongkankan continued to preach.

"Life is first of all our own, and then there are all kinds of different roles, we walk in the world, not only to take responsibility, but also to know how to enjoy our own value! The first 30 years of life are to experience a wide range of tastes, and don't be afraid of failure... Only in this way will the road ahead be smoother! ”

I've heard that.

Cao Shuo nodded thoughtfully, he seemed to understand why Qiao Xuan and Cai Yong valued Cao Cao, who looked very unreliable when they were young.

Daddy's absurdity and nonsense are the so-called "self", the so-called creativity, which are the most lacking in this era.

Just thinking of this, Cai Yong's eyes shot at Cao Shuo like fire.

"I think Cao Shuo's answer is very good, we don't need to formulate too ambitious ideas, we just need to remember that in just a few decades, we can live like a human being, and live up to our youth!"

True.

In the eyes of others, Cao Cao is a failure, a failure in officialdom, and a failure in his career.

But in the eyes of Qiao Xuan and Cai Yong, Cao Cao is successful, and in the era when everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door, there are not many people like Cao Cao who can still think of the big man and the people!

served as the captain of the northern part of Luoyang, made a big stick to find a big stick, beat the powerful at the top, and punished the powerful at the bottom;

served as the commander of Dunqiu, reclaimed wasteland, strengthened river dams, and developed Dunqiu into a paradise;

served as a councillor and dared to express his views on the maladministration of the Han Dynasty;

Even now, as an officer, I believe that he will be able to make a different kind of great achievement!

Ordinary students, Cai Yong disdains them, but if he can cultivate a few more students like Cao Cao, he will have no regrets in his life!

Cai Yong's words landed, and some of the students understood and nodded, while some were still in the clouds and fog.

However, Liu Wei seemed quite excited, blinking his eyes again and again, and the depths of his soul were about to overflow with salty tears, as if he had heard what he wanted to hear.

That's right, how tiring it is to live for others every day.

Like his little devil, he lives for himself every day, free and comfortable? If you want to bully others, you can bully, and if your butt hurts, someone can kick it, such a life? Isn't it fragrant?

Suddenly, Liu Wei became fond of Luoyang Taixue.

"Xiao Shuo—" he patted Cao Shuo on the shoulder. Well said, I have to live like a human being in the future, and live up to my youth and frivolity! ”

Belch...

Cao Shuo was a little speechless, as if this prince understood that it was the other extreme!

In this way, under Cai Yong's question, Taixue's coursework officially opened...

And a few days before classwork, all the new students of Taixue had only one task, to memorize the "Precepts" backwards and know it by heart!

-- Abstain from deception, prostitution, sex, theft, delusion, arrogance, slander, ignorance, greed, fees, climbing, smuggling, violence, suspicion, jealousy, bribery, selling, and luxury.

Collectively known as the "Eighteen Precepts", or "Thirty-six Character Formula"!

For Cao Shuo, this is nothing, it's like reciting school rules and mottos!

Liu Wei wanted to cry a little, because he found that he couldn't quit anything other than the precepts related to women!
