Chapter 905: Wenwu Temple
"Dad, are you going to decide to attend the birthday of Sage Kong?" Li Cao looked puzzled and said, "Really go?" ”
Every year, Cheng Ran goes to this thing on behalf of him.
This year, my dad is going to go in person?
Cheng Ran, the son of Cheng Chubi and Kong Shangxiang, the king of the Tang Dynasty.
"the fart." Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes and said, "The Temple of Literature I'm talking about is not the Temple of Literature of the Confucian family!" ”
"Is there another temple of literature in this world? Why haven't I heard of it? Li Cao looked puzzled. Could it be that there are other people who are worshipping Confucius?
In later generations, there were Confucius temples in many places, that was because some dynasties in later generations needed Confucius's doctrine to control the common people, but the Tang Dynasty, this is an era of Confucianism and Legalism.
Confucius also only sacrificed to the people of the Confucian family.
After the Song Dynasty, large-scale sacrifices to the Confucian saints began.
Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes, specially, this is what I came up with, and it hasn't been implemented yet, you know it's weird!
"The Temple of Literature I am talking about is the Temple of Literati, the real Temple of Literature!" Cheng Chubi smiled slightly and said: "Since the establishment of my Datang, countless literati have been born and died for Datang, although these people have left Datang, but they are meritorious to Datang and the whole of China, and they will not be wiped out with their disappearance." Cheng Chubi raised his voice and said: "Datang should build such a temple to worship the literati who have contributed to Datang in the past dynasties." ”
"For example, Fang Xuanling, Du Rumei, and Wei Zheng, they have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, such as Li Si, Han Feizi, and Guiguzi, although they are not as famous as Sage Kong, they are also the sages of the past dynasties."
Cheng Chubi smiled slightly and said, "Therefore, they should also get the sacrifice of my Datang and enjoy the incense of ten thousand families." ”
"This Han Feizi is okay, Li Si will forget it, right?" Li Cao said: "After all, although this Li Si is talented and really good in the early stage, but later he killed his son Fusu." ”
"Yes, then except for him." Cheng Chubi thought for a while and said, "You will discuss with the courtiers tomorrow and set up this Temple of Literature." ”
"But wouldn't this make the literati too proud? If the civil officials are too arrogant, it is easy to look down on the generals, and in the long run, it will cause a situation where the military is Chinese lightly. Li Cao said with some worry.
Datang expands its territory, and what it needs is these generals and soldiers!
If there are no generals and no soldiers, can the literati defend the country?
Indeed, it is a great skill for literati to govern the country, but to defend the country, it really depends on generals and soldiers.
"You can rest assured, this Temple of Literature is there, and the Martial Temple naturally cannot be missing." Cheng Chubi smiled slightly and said: "In the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, there are countless people who have shed their blood for the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, such as Qin Shubao, such as Li Daozong, and Li Yuanba. ”
"There are also a lot of ordinary soldiers who also died on the battlefield, these people have guarded the Tang Dynasty and the people, and they should be worshiped by thousands of incense...... "Cheng Chubi said endlessly.
The Tang Dynasty must not only have a Temple of Literature, but also a Temple of Martial Arts.
Both civil and military are very important.
It is a good thing for a country to prosper culturally, but if it does not prosper in martial arts, it is easy to be destroyed by others.
Historically, barbarians have destroyed civilization from time to time. I want to talk with more like-minded people about "Crossing Starts from Zhenguan", pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
