"Deng Su villain, too shameless!"

"It has always been Mr.'s ambition to restate the etiquette, and Deng Sujiu is just occupying the magpie's nest, so he also has to 'plug' it!"

"Chen Xianggong and Deng Sunai are the same raccoon dog!"

"Is it tolerable or unbearable!" "Chen Shaoyang is not cautious, he is not worthy of being a prime minister at all!"

In the study on the outskirts of Hangzhou, there was a sound of ridicule and scolding. After Wu Zilong became a scholar, he devoted himself to restating the etiquette, not only did he devote himself to his own "refinement", but also gathered the disciples of the "door", and saw that the "Song Ritual Law" of more than 300,000 words in Huanghuang was about to be compiled. Deng Su, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, highlighted the strange tricks, said that His Majesty and the Prime Minister were moved, and ordered the world's scholars and politicians to gather in Ezhou to discuss the "Great Rite Law". Everyone knows that the outline is the first of the rites. Deng Su didn't move his lips, once the Ministry of Rites did this, he immediately overwhelmed Wu Zilong and the disciples with all their hard work. Therefore, when the news reached Hangzhou, the people who participated in the compilation of the "Song Rite Law" were all 'excited' and held grievances for Wu Zilong, compared to Wu Zilong himself, who was much calmer.

"Zi said, the courtesy is lost and the wilderness is begged. He also said, when he heard the truth, he could die at night. ”

As soon as Wu Zilong spoke, all the disciples immediately fell silent. Wu Zilong nodded with satisfaction and straightened the crown belt for a disciple. He deeply felt that the etiquette of the ancients was too coarse, and the so-called self-cultivation and peace were self-cultivation and Qi family at the beginning, so the etiquette corresponding to self-cultivation and Qi family was called "small etiquette", and the etiquette involving governing the country and leveling the world was called "big etiquette". In the "Song Rite Law", if words and deeds violate the "small etiquette law", they will be reprimanded by the teacher at the least, punished by the 'gate' rules and clan law, and even expelled from the 'gate' wall temple. If it violates the "Great Rites Law", it will be punished by the national law and criminal law. For example, if the head of a clan cannot restrain his disciples from obeying the "small rites" in words and deeds, he is not worthy of being the patriarch and teacher. If the monarch and ministers of a country cannot restrain the people to obey the "great gifts", they are not worthy of stealing the high position of the court. In the "small ceremony", there are detailed rules for living, sitting and lying, for example, once the master speaks, the disciple must listen to the lecture in a straight manner, unless the master finishes speaking, or asks questions, he cannot interrupt in the middle of the speech.

"In today's world, the etiquette has been broken for a long time, Deng Shouyi's 'desire' to start with the Great Rite Law," Wu Zilong frowned slightly, Deng Su's "Great Rite Law" is not the same as the "Great Rite Law" he described. He cleared his throat and continued, "The Ministry of Rites restates the ritual law, which is justified in its name, and it can be said that we have the same path. The point is that these people who restate the rituals are mixed, and the restatement of the rituals is the most important thing in the world of the Great Song Dynasty, and we must not be led to an evil path. Therefore, we must take the opportunity of the Great Rites Discussion to really get the court back on the right track. ”

"That's what the gentleman said." The disciples said yes one after another, and some people said with a 'worried' face: "Since the state school has been elected by the public council to study politics, even if it is a corpse vegetarian, it will be a party in the state and county to run a 'private', just like the well-dressed beast in Shuzhou, the force behind it is not small, and it is probably not easy to prevent them from participating in the 'Great Rites Discussion'." ”

"'Traitors' and thieves form a party for 'personal gain', which is intertwined and powerful......"

Wu Zilong shook his head, his eyes were slightly grim, and he looked at the disciples and said: "We only have morality, but this dynasty has taught the world with the teachings of sages and sages, and the word morality has already penetrated into the hearts of tens of millions of people. What we have to do is to 'excite' the moral hearts of tens of millions of people, accumulate sand into a tower, unite as one, and fight to the end with these 'traitors' who steal the position of scholar and politician! ”

He thought of those people in the Li Society who were martyred, and his face was a little embarrassed, and he immediately turned awe-inspiring, "The so-called 'untie the bell must also be tied to the bell person', and restate the matter of the 'Great Rite Law', since the whole of Shuzhou is in collusion, the academic government is defeated and moral, and conniving at others to 'force' the good to rise up for prostitution, and the imperial court convened the academic administration to gather in Ezhou, and also discussed the forced dismissal of Shuzhou Xuezheng and the case to be brought to trial by the Criminal Department. In addition to Shuzhou, there are many corrupt officials and corrupt officials in various places who fish and 'meat' the people, which has caused public resentment to boil, and we will add another fire to him. Initiating the scholar's wish, he asked the scholars and politicians in various places to express their attitudes towards the Shuzhou case and several other cases with the most public grievances before going to Beijing. No matter what method is used, those who are at both ends of the first rat, or those who stand on the side of Shuzhou in the face of the world, will do their best to bring them down and replace them with people who are really qualified to participate in the Great Rite Discussion! ”

"That'...... If you interfere with state studies," the disciple Xie Wanping doubted, "Will the prime minister and the Ministry of Rites agree?" ”

Wu Zilong bowed his head slightly, and said slowly: "Since the fall of Bianliang, the imperial court has declined, and there are many people in the prefectures and counties who do their own things, which are almost the same as Tang Ji Domain. Whether it is His Majesty or Chen Shaoyang, if you want to revive the dynasty, you must beat these unruly people. Chen Shaoyang and Zhao Yuanzhi 'intersected' with each other, but they still accepted his military power, which is for this reason. Therefore, as long as it is a matter that is in line with the sky and wins the hearts of the people, and the place is not 'chaotic' out of control, Chen Shaoyang and Deng Shou are probably happy to see it. ”

He watched the situation of the imperial court like a "hole", and all the disciples were happy and convinced. After assigning his disciples to contact the Qingliushi people in various places, Wu Zilong picked up a letter he received recently and slowly watched it. A gust of north wind blew, plum 'flower' and 'flower' petals fell all over the ground, and the wind blew the letter paper rattling. Wu Zilong only wore a half-worn green robe, and his figure was thin and thin. But in the eyes of the disciples, he is like a flame exuding infinite heat, as long as he is close to the master, everyone feels that no matter how difficult the world is, as long as Mr. Wu is moral, and does things with all his might, one day, benevolence will prevail in the world, and the people in the world will share peace.

In the city of Huanghu Mountain in Ezhou, the official sedan chair hurriedly came to the prime minister's house, Deng Su opened the sedan curtain, did not wait for the 'door' room to report, and directly found the prime minister's signing room, dismissed the scribe on duty, and handed over a letter he had just read to Chen Dong.

"What's the matter? Can you make a big mistake in guarding? ”

Before he could say the joke, Chen Dong's face became solemn, and he read the letter in silence and put him on the table. This letter came from Jingdong Road, and Hou Huanyin, the governor of the political affairs, informed the Ministry of Rites that the descendants of the most holy Confucius in Dacheng, the head of the Confucian family in Qufu, and the hereditary Yan Shenggong Kong Duan 'Cao' will go to Ezhou to participate in the Great Rites Conference. Hou Huanyin "respected Confucius and returned the ceremony" on Jingdong Road, and respected the Qufu Kong family beyond measure. The Qufu Kong clan has been favored by the imperial court in all dynasties, and is not only extremely noble, but also always beyond the political disputes of the court. But this time, as long as they are not blind and deaf and crazy, they all understand that Kong Duan's '' is here to speak for Hou Huanyin.

"Shaoyang, how do you think you should deal with it?"

"How to deal with it?"

Chen Dong gently knocked on the desk and tightened his eyebrows. After the Liao thieves retreated north, from Henan to Jiangdong, there were undercurrents surging everywhere. Rectify the rule of officials, give relief to the people, raise food and wages, and pile up all kinds of official documents every day. After the uproar in Shuzhou, the pen and ink lawsuits of the prefectures, counties, and Qingliu were much more intense than those of the two armies. Chen Dong agreed with the Ministry of Rites to convene the "Great Rites Law" to discuss the "Great Rites Law", and he understood that this was another war that he could not afford to lose, and he would either completely put the Chaogang on the right track, or the whole country would become more and more 'chaotic'. Openly and secretly, I don't know how many people are fighting against him, and now, the Qufu Kong family, who is respected by the world, has no quarrel with the world, and has high morality, actually came out to wade into this 'mixed' water, Chen Dong couldn't help but be angry and inexplicable. There were countless grimaces on the gallwood table, as if they were laughing at him for the futility of his end. It's not a sage, it's just a few ordinary Confucian scholars, and they actually want to support Sheji and restate the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty? Chen Dong's eyes couldn't help but burst out with a fierce 'color'.

"Yan Shenggong? Hole end ''? Chen Dong said coldly, "What qualifications does he have to attend the ceremony?" ”

"What?" Deng Su looked at Chen Dong suspiciously. Even when the Hu people of the Northern and Southern Dynasties were in power, the Qufu Kong clan stood still, and this dynasty was even more respectful, and after the successive dynasties of officials ascended the throne, they had to canonize the Confucian family. Kong Duan's '' is a saint, and Chen Dong actually said that he is not qualified to participate in the Great Rites Discussion, and it turned out that Deng Su wanted to discuss with Chen Dong, and after Kong Duan's '' came to Ezhou, he would find a way to pull him to his side, after all, the Son of Heaven and the Prime Minister's Mansion are in Ezhou, and it is a big deal to seal Kong 'Gate' again and give him land and wealth. Although Hou Huanyin is in control of Jingdong Road, it is impossible to be an enemy of the Qufu Kong clan, and after Kong Duan is a saint, there is no need to be afraid of Hou Huanyin's revenge.

"Only the state students are eligible to participate in the Great Gift Discussion, I remember well, right?"

"Yes."

"Yan Shenggong Kong Duan's '' is not a school politics, and he is qualified to participate in the Great Rite Discussion? Could it be that he became the only one, and the rules of the 'Great Rite Law' of the court were not completed? Chen Dongzheng said, "If Hou Huanyin insists on asking Kong Duan to '' and come to discuss the Great Rites Law, then please let Yan Shenggong become the scholar of a state first." Even so, the Ministry of Rites could only entertain him with the status of a scholar and politician, and treated him on an equal footing with scholars and politicians from other states. If the descendants of Confucius can attend the Great Ceremony Meeting, should the Zhou Room surnamed Ji be invited later? What about the descendants of Meng Sheng and Xun Sheng? Do you want me to wait for the crown to return to the field, and everyone simply go back to check the genealogy, and give it to these sages to take care of the affairs of the world later? Is the blood of the saint important? Or is the etiquette of the imperial court important? If we wait for the public to discuss the law of great etiquette, but do not act in accordance with the legislation of the imperial court, how can we serve the public? Confucius has knowledge under the Nine Springs, I'm afraid he doesn't 'want' his descendants to 'mess up' the court etiquette, right? Chen Dong picked up the letter, frowned again and read it, folded it and handed it back to Deng Su, "The Ministry of Rites will reply to Hou Huanyin like this, reply to the letter quickly, and speak first, lest the Holy Duke of Yan come and accuse the court of neglecting the etiquette." ”

"Shaoyang Gaojian, I understand." Deng Su nodded, although Chen Dong's words were 'fierce', but the truth he held was extremely positive. After he was going to go back to draft a reply, he asked Zhao Qi to make an order to refuse Kong Duan's '' to go to Ezhou to participate in the Great Rite Discussion, and at the same time, he comforted him a little. Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, Chen Dong stopped him again.

"Mencius said, the gentleman's Ze will be beheaded in the fifth generation, and the villain's legacy will be beheaded in the fifth generation."

Chen Dong stretched out five fingers in each hand, and said slowly word by word: "We should practice the teachings of the sages, and we should unite knowledge and action to make it great in the world." Qufu Kong has been enshrined for generations, and the saint has been left behind, and I don't know how many generations have passed since then. Whether this matter is in line with the etiquette law or not, the Ministry of Rites is also included in the agenda of this 'Great Rites Discussion'. As for Kong Duan's '', he can appeal to the Ministry of Rites, but even if it is to avoid suspicion, he shouldn't casually talk about the 'Great Rites Discussion'. ”
