Chapter 13: Hoeing

Pei Wei suggested that Pei Gai should first ask Confucianism to find a tiger skin to wear, and find a righteous name for your reform, so that you can convince people and make the decree go smoothly. Fastest updates

Pei Gai said, "I hope my uncle will help me." ”

Pei Wei shook his head and said that we are the same, although we both follow the teachings of the sages and are considered Confucians, but at most we can read one scripture, and we have not written anything before, who is willing to listen to what we say? "Hongnong Dong Wenbo, Ming "Spring and Autumn Three Biography", "Jingshi Yi", "Ma's Shangshu", "Han Poems", well-known in the sea, also wrote "General Theory of Rites" to criticize the vulgar Confucianism, if the text is willing to extend as a guest, and even the teacher of etiquette, it will be able to promote the purpose and make the new law go smoothly."

Pei should say okay, "Where are the people?" Uncle can invite me to meet me. ”

Pei Wei said: "Yongpingzhong (the year name of Emperor Hui of Jin), Wenbo knew that the world would be chaotic, so he abandoned his home and hid in Shangluo Mountain, dressed in wood leaves, ate tree fruits, played the piano and laughed to entertain himself. However, I recently heard that he had left the mountain and moved to Wei, which is not the reason why he is qualified? Don't send people to postpone the invitation, but visit in person. ”

Pei Gai pondered for a while, and then asked: "I have never read the book "General Theory of Etiquette". What sect does this person have, what sect and what sect? ”

Pei Wei replied: "The righteousness of the "Three Rites" is only in accordance with the Zheng family. ”

Pei Gai was overjoyed when he heard this, and stroked his palms and said: "In this case, I should go to the appointment in person and implore Dong Wenbo to come out of the mountain!" ”

Dong Wenbo, Wenbo is the word, his real name is Dong Jingdao, and he is a famous character in "The Biography of Confucianism in the Book of Jin" Of course, although Pei Gai has read the "Book of Jin", but in the "Biography of Confucianism", he only remembers a Fan Long, because that guy voted for Hu, and the official was to the Tai Lieutenant, after he crossed over, he had also dealt with him from afar......

As for Dong Jingdao, in the original history, he had to wait until Liu Yao became emperor in Guanzhong before coming down from Shangluo Mountain, Lu Yuwei estimated that because Liu Yao was a cultural person, he was more enlightened than Shi Le, who controlled the Henan region at that time, and would not be too ruthless to Confucianism. When Liu Yao heard the news, he immediately recruited Dong Jingdao as the young master of the prince and the free horseman, but Dong Jingdao did not relent, and later died in the hermitage.

However, on this timeline, although Dong Jingdao is in the mountains, he is also concerned about the surrounding situation at any time, and when he heard that Pei should take the initiative to return to Yu Luo, the son of heaven, and stay in the town of Guanzhong, he couldn't help but sigh: "The sun and the moon are orderly, and the way of heaven is constant; People and ministers know etiquette, and the country is always strong. Henan or the place where the soldiers are restored, only the customs can be safeguarded. "I packed up my little luggage and ran to Wei in advance.

Pei Wei listened to Pei Xu's report that Dong Jingdao was coming to Guanzhong, so he hurriedly ran to suggest that Pei Gai should hire this person and find a righteous name for his governance. Pei Gai didn't care too much at first, but when he heard that Dong Jingdao respected Zheng Xue, he immediately made a decision: Okay, I'll beg him!

Confucianism in the Western Jin Dynasty, the most prominent is Wang Xue, Wang Su forged books such as "Treatise on Sacred Evidence", "Confucius's Family Language", "Confucius Congzi", etc., and refuted Zheng Xue through the mouth of Confucius, which was even prominent. However, the reason why Wang Xue comprehensively overwhelmed Zheng Xue was not because of how profound the theory was, nor how eloquent Wang Su was, but purely because Wang Su was Sima Zhao's father-in-law and Sima Yan's grandfather......

Until the late Cao Wei period, the imperial court still used Zheng Xuanjing's commentary, and Cao Chao himself also respected Zheng Xue very much, but once he went to Taixue to ask the Confucians about the scriptures, and the doctor actually replied with Wang Xue's point of view, no matter how the emperor argued, he just refused to take a step back, I have the Sima family as a backer, what am I afraid of! So gradually, Zheng Xue was completely defeated, and Wang Xue became the official doctrine of the late Wei and Western Jin dynasties.

Pei Gai himself is not intensive in academics, and he doesn't know how much difference Zheng Xue and Wang Xue are, but he has a principle in his heart, that is, most of the things that the Sima family admires, most of them are rotten things, otherwise they will not cause chaos in the world, even if they move to Jiangdong, they will not be able to cheer up for a long time, and I must find ways to eradicate them little by little. Politically, legally, and academically, we can't lag behind, since a Zheng scholar suddenly appeared, then it's okay, it's him, sooner or later, I will arch Dong Jingdao's words into an official doctrine!

Let's say that Dong Jingdao has been in Luoshan since he went down to Shangluoshan and stayed in Weiwei, and he is no longer the same as before, and it is rare to see a living person for several months, and he is only accompanied by birds and beasts every day. When many scholars in the vicinity heard that his old man was coming, they all went to pay their respects and offer bouquets. Dong Jingdao is also not polite, nor does he accept apprentices, ploughs the fields and grows vegetables during the day, and when it is almost dark, he sits at the door and lectures, and anyone can listen.

Gradually, the surrounding scholars also knew his habits and temper, and he never came to the door during the day, and waited in front of the house at dusk. But it was just past noon that day, and Dong Jingdao was hoeing in the field, when suddenly a young man knocked on the door and bowed and asked for advice. Dong Jingdao ignored him at first, but later felt annoyed, so he said: "I will plough day by day, and come back at night when you can come back at dusk." Don't beep any more, lest I chase away the guests. ”

I thought that this young man would either leave there and wait until dusk, if he was sincere in his intention to study, he might be able to wait respectfully at the edge of the ridge. Who would have thought that when the young man heard this, he immediately took off his long coat, rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, and stepped into the mud with one foot, and said, "The gentleman is old, how can he work?" I'm here to help. ”

Dong Jingdao squinted at the young man, with a dignified appearance and fair complexion, and it was obvious that he was a child of a rich family, so he asked, "Have you ever planted the land?" The young man shook his head: "No." Then he added: "You can also learn." ”

He came over with one foot deep and one foot shallow, grabbed the hoe, and asked Dong Jingdao to sit on the ridge and help hoe the weeds himself. Although he was not familiar with farming, he didn't take it lightly, and the seedlings were carelessly cut off several by this kid, Dong Jingdao watched from the side, and he was still very moved. He said in his heart: "People should learn from each other, and only sincerity can be taught later." I often hate that what I have learned is not passed on, and I regret that I am not able to teach others, maybe I can teach here......"

Only then did he concentrate on looking at this young man carefully, but the more he looked at it, the more he wondered that this kid was not an ordinary person. Even if you are a child of a family and a first-class background, if you haven't been a high-ranking official for several years, you won't be able to raise this bearing. Seeing that this man is not yet thirty years old, who is he?

So he stood up, beckoned the young man to rest, and asked him to fetch water to wash their hands and feet. The young man still wondered: "It's far from dusk." Dong Jingdao said with a smile: "Since Pei Jun is here, how can he make farming dim." ”

Of course, this young man is Pei Gai, the reason why he helped Dong Jingdao hoe the ground is not necessarily because he has a sincere desire to learn, nor is it to deliberately move the old gentleman. It's not easy for him to come to Wei, and it's not easy for him to be idle, so it's better for me to move my hands and feet, and to evacuate my muscles and bones, and secondly, I have to farm in Guanzhong in the past few years, and I should also be more familiar with farming.

Of course, the most important thing is that Pei Gai's body is a soul from the later generations, not the son of the noble prince in this world, and there is no deep-rooted idea of "villain, Fan Xuye".

But he was so busy that he was sweating, and he was feeling refreshed, and when he heard Dong Jingdao call himself "Pei Jun", he couldn't help but be shocked that I didn't sign up, and I didn't wear a crown to worship, how could the old gentleman recognize my true identity? This old man is really extraordinary, and it seems that I have indeed come to the right place this time.

Hurriedly raised his hand and said: "It should be disrespectful, I didn't report my name first, don't be guilty." ”

When Dong Jingdao heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised. In fact, he just said the words "Pei Jun", which was originally a temptation, because considering that if today's Gaomen, there is no Pei and Zu, only the children of these two families can be young and occupy a high position The Langya Wang family is also possible, but they are not mostly in Jiangdong. The ancestral family is thin, I haven't heard of such a young son, there are many Pei families, and many of Pei Cai's contemporaries have been able to become more than five grades, maybe they are Pei's children, and let me try him.

As a result, the other party immediately signed up and said "yes", Dong Jingdao couldn't help but be surprised. But after all, he was old and refined, and he didn't show it on his face, just smiled and said: "Pei Gongguang came down to the house, not to study and listen to lectures, but to visit me and talk about it in the grass house." ”

So he was invited into the house and sat down. Pei Gaishen hoped that Dong Jingdao could go to Chang'an to enter the scene, and said: "If you are in the court, you can also get it." ”

Dong Jingdao shook his head and smiled: "I'm already dying, do I have the idea of entering the WTO?" Without waiting for Pei to persuade again, he suddenly said: "I was in Shangluo Mountain before, and I rarely heard about foreign affairs in my ears; A few months ago, I moved to Wei, but I knew that Pei Gong Town was guarding Guanzhong, and it was easier for Pei Gong to know in the old system, how did the scholars evaluate it? ”

Pei Gai couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and then bowed his hand respectfully: "I still have to ask for advice." ”

Dong Jingdao replied: "Everyone said that Pei Gong was following Wei Wu's trip. However, after Wei Wu's eunuch, many scholars refused to obey, and in desperation, they were forced to abandon virtue and seek talent, so Wei could not annex the world in the end, which was the reason. And Pei Gong is a nobleman, famous in the world, the people all look at each other, and the scholars are all dressed up, why do you make this decision? At the time of the world's mourning, just as the Ming Respect and Humility, the Equal Order, the Guangsheng Religion, and the Xuandeization, if the villain's talent and strength are looted, how can we restore the mountains and rivers and rebuild the society? ”

Pei should not help but wonder.

Pei should make Pei Xuan supervise hundreds of bureaucrats and supervise the three armies, and at the same time pay attention to the public opinion of the people at any time In a sense, he feels that the latter is more important.

To tell the truth, the introduction of Pei Gai's various new policies, the people still can't feel it for the time being, and the people are concerned about food, clothing, and housing (there are few travelers, so there is no line), but now the number of yeoman farmers in Yongzhou is not much, and there are tunns everywhere, so Pei Gai has not reformed the tax system for the time being, and the people have no experience. However, scholars seek office, naturally they can't help but complain, first of all, they have to take exams when they are officials, unlike in the past, they can get jobs by relying on the shade of the door, although they are at the level of most families in Guanzhong, they also start with ** products, and five or six products are over.

Secondly, he can't help but overtake the car clothes, although he can wear gorgeous clothes and swagger through the market, but seeing that even the merchants are wearing the same clothes as themselves, or even more colorful, how can the scholars be happy in their hearts?

All kinds of complaints converged on Pei Xu's desk, and then summarized and presented to Pei Gai. Therefore, for what Dong Jingdao said today, Pei should have been prepared for it, and asked casually: "What does Mr. think?" ”

Dong Jingdao smiled slightly: "I mean that Pei Gong is visiting the old man today, just because of this matter." The villain's ignorance is not to be ignored, and it cannot be blocked, just as the former child property does not destroy the village school. However, if there is a grievance in the hearts of the people, they must not be united, how can Pei Gong calm Guanzhong, and then restore the society of the country? That's why Pei Gong came here today, because he wanted the old man to come out and promote the new law for the public, right? ”

Pei Gai shook his head again and again: "Mr. is talented, but what you should expect is more than that." ”

He said that I hope that you can go to Chang'an, old man, and wait for teaching day and night, and at the same time, you can also give lectures to the public, "I should think that the people should know the books, so that they can understand reason, first understand reason, and then become strong, and if the people are strong, the country will naturally be strong." Previously, Hu Kou was rampant, too learned, the teachings of the saints were not transmitted, and only the family had a origin, after all, the number was too small. The difference between China and the Hu nationality is that there is a system of rules and regulations, and there are written books, if it is absolute, it is equivalent to Hu, and if there are few people who know, it will decline. Only regardless of the family background, there are books to read, teachers to follow, and hard work day and night can make the country rich and the people strong. ”

To put it bluntly, Pei should want to invite the old gentleman to go out of the mountains to engage in education, not only for the children of the family, but also to provide more learning resources for the poor family, so as to expand and consolidate his ruling foundation.

To tell the truth, Pei should come from the soul of later generations, and he is not too interested in Confucianism, but it must be admitted that in today's social environment, Confucianism is the most convenient to unite people's hearts, promote education, and consolidate rule. It is true that criminal law should be used to govern troubled times, but Legalism has been precipitated from Confucianism, and it is considered an extreme force of Confucianism, which is too naked, and it is not enough to educate the people to only be stupid.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty once said: "The Han family has its own system, and it is supposed to be a tyrant. In Pei Gai's opinion, he was half right. The right part is that Confucianism cannot be abandoned; The wrong part is the "overlord way" of external law and internal Confucianism, which is far less soft and deceptive than the "royal hegemony" of outer Confucianism and internal law, and is most suitable for building an official ideological system.

Although Pei Gai has more than 2,000 years of knowledge than others, he can only tinker with the national system and overthrow it comprehensively and make a new one, which may not really be able to adapt to the soil of the times; In the field of thought, he lacks the ability to comprehensively innovate (that is, comprehensively plagiarize), and can only temporarily inherit the Confucian teachings.

That's why he deliberately came to ask Dong Jingdao to come out of the mountain, and first asked the old gentleman to rebuild Zheng Xue's structure, so that he could easily mix private goods into it little by little.

However, Dong Jingdao shook his head and said, "I am old, I have no eunuch intentions, and I can't teach my disciples anymore. Without waiting for Pei to persuade him again, he stood up, took out a book from the bookshelf behind him, put it on the table, and said: "The "General Theory of Etiquette" written by this old man in the past is not a refutation of vulgar Confucianism, but a broad and solemn purpose. If Pei Gong can make this book widely available in the world, it will certainly be of benefit to scholars......"

Pei Gai took it with both hands and said: "I have built a workshop in Weibin, copying the classics with the art of engraving, sir, this book, since it should be engraved and published, taught to all counties and counties, and spread to scholars......"
