Chapter 499: Visiting the Wei Mansion
Liu Yong's experience, among more than a dozen people who went to Lingnan to be officials, can only be regarded as wonderful, and it is not the worst, he was bitten by a poisonous snake, almost died, was forced to borrow seeds by local tribal leaders, and finally accepted several black and thin Yi women as concubines, even if he was a person like Shangguan Yi who was a gong cao in the state city, because he wanted to organize local production, he ate more into the deep mountains and old forests, and ruined his scholarly image and temperament, and now he has a lot of scars on his body!
But no matter what, after a few years of various industries in Lingnan, the situation has finally opened up in their hands, and the people behind them don't have to suffer so much if they go.
After they finished telling their official adventures one by one, many Confucian students knew what kind of pit they had stepped into today.
When you become an official, you can't get the status of a prominent party, but on the contrary, you need to keep paying, being a servant to the common people, and even a servant to the lowly barbarian people, these Confucian students' previous cognitions have all been overturned.
"After listening to their story, if you still feel that you want to do something for the imperial court, then, I will arrange for you to go to the place where the country needs you most to be an official for a few years, you only need to leave your name, and I will negotiate with Wen Shangshu later."
As soon as Sun Xiangfu said this, many students who were willing to go out and break through were happy, although they were high-ranking officials, they were either second sons, or concubines, or they were unwilling at home, but they had a kind of spirit to give it a go.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Sun Xiangfu and his father-in-law Yu Chang nodded, and went to the back hall, today's banquet is from morning to afternoon, it is false to say that he is not tired, and he will go to Wei Zheng's side to continue the discussion in the evening, so he must be allowed to rest and rest.
There are also a lot of children in Yufu, since the Sun family built a fun hall, the Yu family also built one, at this time there are a lot of children playing there, Sun Huanhuan and Sun Lele two children each sit in the children's play hall in the shape of a duck thousands of miles, Yu Xiu'er mother and daughter are one by one, helping them push, the two little guys are very bold, and they shouted that the person responsible for pushing them behind pushed them higher, so as to surpass each other.
Sun Xiangfu approached and bowed to Yu's mother, "My son-in-law has seen my mother-in-law, so I'll push them to play!" ”
"The virtuous son-in-law has been busy all day, but I'm afraid that I'm tired, sit down and rest, the two of them usually don't come often, so let me, a grandmother, be closer and closer."
"The husband is afraid that he is tired of sitting and wants to move his body, so he will come to help the concubine push Lele!"
did not take Cheng Yu's mother's hand, but took Yu Xiu'er's hand, but made Sun Lele, the son on the swing, slap happily, in his opinion, his father's strength must be greater than his mother's, more than his sister, it is inevitable.
Sun Xiangfu suddenly saw this kid's thoughts, and was afraid that his sister's pouting and crying nose would not look good, so he still pushed him as high as his sister's swing like Yu Xiu'er.
"Fang Er didn't cause any trouble in Shanyang, let's bother the virtuous son-in-law!" Mother Yu waited for Sun Xiangfu to push the swing in her hands, and then spoke again.
"Hehe, he did a good job over there, but you don't have to worry, I persuaded him to come back a while ago, but he didn't want to."
"Hey, this kid, he has been cautious and wild, he always likes to run out, he is seventeen or eighteen, and he doesn't think about coming back to get married."
The eldest grandson of a family like Yu Fang is generally married very early, and most of them are from the right family, almost all of them are decided by the words of the matchmaker of his parents, as the eldest son of the concubine, he basically has no choice, and he can't refute it.
With Yu Fang's detached temperament, it's strange that he can like this set, but it's not only the men of later generations who are not free when they get married, but the men of this period will be very unfree when they get married, because the social status of women in the early Tang Dynasty is quite high, especially the wife, almost half of the family affairs are the hostess's decision, just like the matter of Sun Xiangfu's concubine, Yu Xiuer can directly help him decide.
Moreover, many top magnates are still very afraid of guilt, including the two emperors of the former Sui period, and Li Yuan, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, if it weren't for the early death of his wife Dou, he would not be as carefree as he is now.
Yu Fang doesn't want to have a grandfather, father, and mother at home to take care of himself, and then a strong wife to take care of himself, he is doing the right thing as an excuse to escape marriage in Shanyang!
The left and right are gossip, and Sun Xiangfu asked casually, "He is the pro of that family!" ”
Yu's mother said a little proudly, "Jiangdong Lu, Lu Deming's great-granddaughter." ”
"Oh, the granddaughter of Master Lu's family! I heard that Master Lu's body seems to be ······"
"Yes! Lu Lao is over eighty years old, and he is still the predecessor of your grandfather, and he has been bedridden for the past two years, just to take advantage of the fact that before he died, he saw this most beloved granddaughter getting married, can the virtuous son-in-law write a letter and force Fang'er to return to Chang'an, these days when your grandfather went to visit Lu Mansion, Lu Lao also took the initiative to mention this matter! ”
The two families of Yu and Lu can be regarded as friends for generations, one is from Yuezhou, and the other is from Wu County, which is not far away, and it can be regarded as a fellow villager.
Before Yu Shinan was not a doctor of Yin Qingguanglu, Lu Deming, who was the oldest among the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace, was still ranked in front of Yu Shinan, but according to the trajectory of history, he should have died last year, and he didn't think about it now, but he just survived for several more months, and the granddaughter of this super Confucian training······
Sun Xiangfu imagined, and Yu Fang was in a hurry, the daughters of the family are not all as outgoing and casual as Yu Xiuer.
"Well, this, Yu Fang's work is also very important, and it can't be left lightly until there is no suitable person to take over, you just said that Grandpa often visits Lu Lao these days?"
"Yes! I have sent several pairs of the best reading glasses! ”
After all, Kong Yingda has not yet unified all kinds of chaotic Confucian schools, and his "Five Classics of Justice" has not yet been revised to be recognized by everyone.
This suddenly made Sun Xiangfu think of something.
The characteristics of Confucianism are bound to make the monarchs of the feudal dynasty like it, because it is indeed beneficial to the rule of the feudal dynasty.
So, why don't you let it split up, make it clear, can't reach a consensus, continue to quarrel, and it's best to quarrel until the era of science and technology comes.
As soon as this idea was formed, Sun Xiangfu immediately thought of the operation, and pushed out several mountains to make them each insist on their own school's understanding of Confucianism.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to give them a whole 'Southern School of Confucianism', 'Northern School of Confucianism', 'Traditional Confucianism', and 'Modern Confucianism', and let the already controversial Confucian school fight within itself.
After that, Sun Xiangfu didn't stay here much longer, he went to discuss with Yu Shinan, who had already slept in the afternoon, he had read Yu Shinan's commentary on the Four Books and Five Classics, and knew Yu Shinan's understanding of Confucianism too well, to put it bluntly, his Confucianism was biased towards traditional Confucianism.
The so-called traditional Confucianism is the original thought formed by Confucianism at the beginning, that is, the six-six-six thought, so Yu Shinan's attainments in the six virtues, six elements, and six arts are extremely high, which may be the reason why his talents are very comprehensive, noble and open-minded, so that he can keep his body healthy and live a long life!
Ordinary people can't imagine that a great Confucian like Yu Shinan, when he was young, practiced riding and archery, and when he was fifty or sixty years old, he could still join the army in the Qin Palace, and follow the army to fight in the south and the north.
Due to regional reasons, after the Three Kingdoms, Confucianism began to change sects, in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, roughly divided into two major systems, the Southern School of Confucianism and the Northern School of Confucianism, the two schools of understanding of Confucianism, very different, the Southern Dynasty is called the Han orthodoxy, the focus is on the set of the three outlines and five constants, the Northern School, is because the people are mainly Hu people, the understanding of Confucianism is relatively shallow, most of them are literal.
This is also the reason why when the imperial examination was held in the first year of the Tang Dynasty, there was a big contradiction on the side of liberal arts students.
As for modern Confucianism, let's count it as what Kong Yingda wants to promote now! He wants to change the attributes of Confucianism, and wants to promote the three major elements of annexation, reform and Gewu, it cannot be said that he is wrong to do so, but Kong Yingda's purpose is not so pure, he just wants to help Confucianism and fight for social status.
After arriving at the study, Sun Xiangfu told Yu Shinan his thoughts completely, but Yu Shinan was stunned, and finally, Sun Xiangfu was kicked out of the study by Yu Shinan, saying that he had to think about it and let Sun Xiangfu not act rashly.
At dusk, Yu Xiuer stayed in Yu Mansion to eat, and later she would take her two children home, Sun Xiangfu came to Wei Zheng's mansion by car, and when Uncle De came to deliver blueberries early, he gave Wei Zheng a prayer post early in the morning, so now Wei Zheng's mansion has already set up a banquet of wine and food, and invited a lot of people to accompany the guests, waiting for Sun Xiangfu to come to the door.
"Zhengming has just returned to Chang'an, and he won't reunite with his family for two days, so he came to see the old man, but what is the urgent matter to discuss?"
"I can't talk about urgent matters, but I just feel that there are some things that need to be communicated more."
After getting out of the carriage, Sun Xiangfu greeted everyone who came to the gate of the mansion to greet him one by one, and then entered the banquet hall of the Wei Mansion with everyone.
After the guest sat down, as usual, he first watched the song and dance, ate and drank for a while, and then started to talk about things, don't think that Wei Zheng is diligent and thrifty, this guy is also from a Shandong family, and he also has a craft of winemaking, and there are also some industries in Chang'an, and he still supports the necessary expenses, but he pays more attention to his reputation, never morally, and gives others the opportunity to gossip.
After the song and dance dispersed, Sun Xiangfu didn't have any novices to continue eating and drinking, so he said to Wei Zheng, "I came to visit Duke Wei today because I have my own opinions on some laws and regulations that the Ministry of Law has discussed and reported before, and I need to discuss them with you. ”
"Zhengming can be as blunt as possible, I wish there were more people to give advice!"
The general framework of the law revised by Wei Zheng before was extracted from Sun Xiangfu's opinions, but he himself made a lot of changes according to the feasibility of this era, and now, the situation faced by the Tang Dynasty is more complicated, and the Lingnan tribes are registered, just like the people in the Central Plains, and need to be included in the management.
Yunnan, Goguryeo, Tuyuhun, the party departments, and even the entire western territory were not originally Han nationality areas, if all in accordance with the laws implemented in the Central Plains, it is estimated that there will be many problems, Wei Zhengyi has already anticipated, and after several rounds of study with everyone, it was decided to use a set of relatively loose laws to manage those minority areas, the draft opinion has been sent to the court to discuss, just wait for Li Shimin to return to Chang'an, make a decision, and it can be implemented.
Sun Xiangfu had read the draft opinions they had made, and there were many different opinions on the management model they had formulated, so it was natural that he should first discuss and revise it with the Ministry of Justice headed by Wei Zheng before Li Shimin made a decision.
