Chapter 20 Counterfeit Drugs

The episode caused by Zeng Fang prolonged the meeting for more than half an hour, and the final result was not as he suggested, ordering the sons and daughters of the nobles in the army to stand in the first three rows, but got the results in the morning: the names of the soldiers in the first three rows should be reported to the chief general, and the names and positions of the sons and daughters of the nobles in the division should also be reported to the chief general, and the two rosters were verified by the chief general and sent to the Yingdu Grand Sima Mansion together.

In other words, whether or not to be listed in front of the battle is purely voluntary, but listening to the tone of the king, he does not have such a resume, and would rather let the concubines be officials than select the sons of nobles. Xiong Jing is young, and it is precisely because of his young age that he will reign for a long time in the future, and with the bravery and courage he is showing now, as long as he lives, the generals will not doubt that what he says is false.

After the generals returned to the camp, in addition to announcing the general's general order to retreat tomorrow, they also summoned the children of the princes in the army to give lectures. Most of the generals are vulgar, and many people omit those crepe words, and bluntly tell them that if they want to be an official and a general in the future, they must be listed in front of the battle. Only the Ludi master Dongye Gu and others, although they also gathered the sons of Xungui, they were stunned for a long time and didn't say anything.

The king's move, in Dongye Gu's view, is a chaotic move, and the chaotic salute is not just as simple as the children of the nobles and the children of the common people in the same line, but the officials and scholars in the future of the Chu State no longer choose scribes and take warriors, which is a chaotic ceremony. The samurai is still powerful, the scribe values virtue, and convincing people with strength and virtue is the difference between civil and military. The king relied too much on force, and the state of Chu would be in turmoil in the future.

"Du Sima ......" Dong Ye Gu was thinking about the dangers of Xiong Jing's heavy martial arts and light literature, and seemed to have forgotten to inform the noble children of today's events.

"Ahem," Dong Yegu coughed, and then said: "Today's meeting, there are ministers and noble sons who should be listed in front of the military formation, what do you think?" ”

Lu Di's division belonged to Pan Wuming's left army, and he didn't know what happened to the division of the Chinese army. Higashino Guichi said, everyone looked at each other, and a man dressed as a scribe said: "The front of the military formation is an outlaw, how can I be listed among them?" ”

"Exactly, exactly......" The rest kept echoing, and this group of people actually had few armor. A gentleman does not stand under a rock wall. Those who die in their own way are righteous; Shackling the dead is not the right fate. Listed before the military array, this is not the right fate, not the work of a gentleman. ”

Mencius's words were immediately brought out, followed by Confucius's: "Zi said: The dangerous state is not entered, and the chaotic state is not lived." The military array is a dangerous place, and if we do not live in the military array, how can we live in front of the military array? ”

Quoting scriptures, one reason after another is the Tao, just when everyone reached a consensus, Higashino Gu coughed again, and said: "The king's order: from next year, there will be no more ...... in the test of literary attendants."

"How can this not be anymore?" The scribe who was the first to say that the ranks of the army were outlaws was stammering, and he was going to take the literary attendant examination next spring. Of course, he is not the only one who took the exam, and there are many candidates in the hometown of Ludi poetry and books.

“…… From next year onwards, the selection of officials and soldiers will only be selected from the three lines before the battle, and if the people can enter the school and complete the career, they can also become officials and generals. "Higashino didn't care what these people said, he only conveyed the spirit of the meeting." The names of all the soldiers listed in the three lines before the battle were recorded by Sima, and the names and official positions of all the nobles and disciples were also recorded by Sima, and the two volumes were sent to the Sima Mansion in Yingdu after being audited by the Lord. ”

Dong Yegu finished his words in one breath, and everyone present was panicked, and some people were unwilling, but the order came from the king, what if they were unwilling?

"The king must have been deceived by the courtiers!" After enduring it for a while, someone finally sighed.

"Exactly, the king must have been deceived by the ministers! That warrior is vulgar, how can he govern the country? "The flood broke like a mouth, and everyone spoke violently, gritting their teeth, eager to tear apart the clever minister.

"Ahem," Higashino Gu didn't seem to see Shizi's appearance, after all, he was just delivering news. "Whether or not to be listed before the military formation is purely voluntary, but this Sima will abide by the king's orders and generals, and report your name and official position to the general, and the names of the first three lines of armor in wartime will also be reported to the general. You guys...... Let's go back. ”

After Dongye finished speaking, he let people send off the guests, and everyone left, and the camp tent without a fire was even more chilly. He didn't care about the cold, but was thinking back to the words of the shogunate just now: 'How is the country of Lu? From a factual point of view, what the king said is not right, but if the king is not right, is it his own mistake? How is Confucius wrong about the Avenue of Rites and Music?

*

"Oh. The six arts learned by Confucius's disciples are not the six arts of the ancients? "It's also a military tent without fire, Xiong Jing is looking at his right history - after returning to the camp, the right history euphemistically said that the six arts learned by today's gentleman are not the six arts of ancient times, so Xiong Jing 'How many people can shoot today's gentleman, how many people can resist, and how many people dare to fight?' It's a bit of a strong man's hard talk.

"Dare to ask the king, has the king ever learned to shoot and the king?" Right Shi asked rhetorically. "Can the master and the treasure teach the king to shoot and the emperor?"

"None." Xiong Jing nodded slowly, there was no shooting or royal in the syllabus he knew.

"The six ancient arts are mostly taught by words and deeds, and there is no need to have books. Ran Zilu made the lamb the slaughter of Feiyi, and Confucius said: 'The son of the thief's wife (this is the son of a harmful person)! Zilu said: "Feiyi has the people, the community, whether it is governing the people or serving the gods, they can all learn for the sake of politics, so why study and learn?" Confucius was displeased and said, 'It is you who make me averse to those who speak.'

It is said that there are 3,000 disciples of Confucius, and these 3,000 disciples all read and learn, not for politics, and the six arts they learned are "poetry", "book", "rite", "easy", "music", "spring and autumn", and also called the six classics, rather than the six arts of etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and ancient times. The king asked Higashino Gu today, 'How many gentlemen can shoot, how many can resist, and how many dare to fight?' This is also a mistake.

I have been an official in the state of Chu, and for hundreds of years, I have been taking the six classics of "Poetry", "Book", "Rite", "Yi", "Music" and "Spring and Autumn", and I have never chosen a scholar with archery and imperial art. The king said that in the future, all the officials and soldiers will be selected from the first three lines of the military formation, which is also a big mistake. Please be sure to take back your fate, otherwise, the state of Chu will be in chaos. ”

The words of the right history are persuasion, not to teach Xiong Jing the difference between the six arts of ancient times and the six arts of today, but Xiong Jing was surprised and smiled: "I only learned today that Confucius is a seller of fake medicines, no wonder pills." ”

"The Great King......" You Shi thought that Xiong Jing was introspecting, but he didn't expect to criticize Confucius as soon as he opened his mouth, although he was not a Confucian, he couldn't listen to it. Why did the king say this? ”

"Where?" Xiong Jing sneered, he didn't treat Confucianism very well, but now that he had seized the evidence, he naturally wanted to ridicule it. "The disciple worships Confucius as a teacher and gives him ten bundles, in order to learn the six arts of the ancients, Confucius is good, but what he teaches is the so-called new six arts compiled by himself. What is the son of the thief's wife, this is the son of the thief's wife. ”

Right Shi admonished that he could not use the method of the king to serve as an official in the first three lines of the battle, but he did not expect the king to start mocking Confucius regardless of the theme, and he had to be led by Xiong Jing to the topic of 'selling fake medicine'. "The king, the six arts of the ancients, is the use of the Son of Heaven to create scholars, when Confucius, the etiquette collapsed, the ministers were in power, and the killing of the monarch was not endless, and it was inappropriate to teach the disciples the six arts of the ancients, so it was extremely important to pay attention to etiquette and music, and pay attention to cultural governance; And archery, the two arts, archery is by no means three or five years can be completed, the ancient maker, fifteen years old to learn archery, crowning may not be a great success; Yuyi needs a car and a horse, the horse is expensive is ten thousand dollars, and the cheap also need thousands of dollars. ”

"Then why do you say that you teach the six arts? Don't say the right history, I thought Confucius taught etiquette, music, archery, royal, calligraphy, and mathematics, who knew that what he taught was "poetry", "book", "ceremony", "Yi", "music", "Spring and Autumn" fake six arts, with fake and true, it is really the son of a thief's wife! ”

Xiong Jing's truthfulness made the right history stunned, shooting and royal are both murderous, the Spring and Autumn Period murderers, how can they teach the ancient six arts? The reason why Confucius's new six arts were widely accepted by the countries was that the monarch agreed, after all, it was safer to use scribes than warriors, and the court education of Chu was also changed by this influence; The second is that the people agree, they couldn't learn before, the new six arts are almost almost, the most important thing is cheap, ten bundles only, really want to learn archery, royal, tuition fees are not only ten bundles, more than 100.

"My Chu State was originally a small state of fifty miles in the past, and it can become a big country today, but it is not something that the scribes said with their mouths, nor is it a matter of benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette to convince people with virtue and let the country surrender on its own initiative. Today, thousands of miles of land are all shot down by the spears of the Halberd. Who struck it? I have watched all over the "Han Zhu" (Chu State History Book), all of them are the children of the Gong clan, especially the Ruo Ao clan, and they do not regard the dare to fight among the Gong clan as officials as generals......"

"King, if the Ao clan is a rebel clan," You Shi didn't expect Xiong Jing to actually read all over "梼杌", and then heard him mention the Ruo Ao clan, so he had to remind him.

"Rebellion can erase the exploits of the ancestors of the Ruo Ao clan?" Xiong Jing looked at him, and instantly had some realization: If the Ao clan rebelled, I am afraid that there is another background, that is, the warriors from the great clan replaced by scribes. Of course, the history books are written by scribes, and there may not be such records. "My heart has been determined, in today's world, the country should be governed by iron and blood, not etiquette, you don't need to persuade again."

Historians are only officials who record the words and deeds of the monarch and belong to the heavenly official system. And this system of heavenly officials came completely from Zhou Tianzi, and even, according to Yu Guanzi, the historians of each vassal state were sent by Zhou Tianzi himself, and could not be designated or cultivated by the other countries. The reason why the left history and the right history closely record the words and deeds of the princes, one of the most important tasks is to monitor and admonish, to prevent the princes from rebelling, which is equivalent to the seat of the Son of Heaven, and this seat is still hereditary.

Chu State also had a heavenly official sent by Zhou Tianzi at the earliest, but was later driven away by King Wu of Chu, although the historian served by the Chu people adhered to the duties of the historian and persuaded the monarch, but more of a task is to record. Xiong Jing clearly said that the historian should not persuade him again, and the right historian had to keep silent. And in this increasingly cold camp, Xiong Jing was in a daze under the anointing candle, but not long after he was in a daze, there were large and small shouts and continuous drums from somewhere in the camp: The Qin army has attacked the camp.
