Chapter 118: Copying Out a Book of Disciple Rules
When Li Shimin was thinking about how to clean up a group of incompetent clan relatives, Luo Yan was in a daze at the "Disciple Rules" that had been copied. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This article is based on the Analects. The Mengxue article written in one sentence in "Xueer", which is really based on the values of the early Tang Dynasty, is definitely a masterpiece.
The whole text does not cite a single allusion, it is just a guide to guide people on how to use etiquette to treat people and cultivate their minds. Although Luo Yan looks at this article with a critical eye, there are very few things in it that can be criticized. Except for some places, there are some moral kidnappings, but singing high-pitched has always been the best way to lead people to goodness.
After carefully reading this article, seeing that it was still early, Luo Yan packed up the manuscript he had copied and went to find Lu Deming.
It would be a pity not to release such an article. The concept in it is completely in line with the requirements of the three rites, and there is a lot of humanistic care, for the second generation of officials in the Hongwen Pavilion, who have been rich and powerful since childhood, with this kind of ideological education book, there will definitely be a few fewer gentlemen.
After presenting it to Lu Deming, Luo Yan stood aside and waited quietly for Lu Deming's comments. He also wanted to see what a generation of Confucians had to say about this widely circulated article on Mengxue in later generations.
I saw Lu Deming sometimes surprised, sometimes delighted. After reading it, Lu Deming breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Jinzhi, after reading your article, I am finally relieved to be a teacher." At the very least, being able to write such an article on Mongolian studies shows that you already have your own understanding of the Three Rites and the Analects. has been training for the teacher for a lifetime, but in the end it is not as good as you. ”
Looking at Luo Yan, Lu Deming had a feeling of being blue.
"Do you know that there have always been many exhortators, but few can write articles on Mongolian studies?" Lu Deming asked.
Luo Yan thought about it, and felt that he really couldn't answer this question, so he answered directly: "Please forgive the teacher, the disciple really doesn't know this question." I hope the teacher will solve his doubts. After all, Luo Yan hasn't read many books and experienced relatively few things, so it's normal that he can't think of it.
"The more knowledgeable you are, the more you dare not write about it. The article was originally intended to enlighten children, regardless of whether human nature is good or evil, but in the end, it is to attribute the nature of children to the good side. The article has been circulated for hundreds of years, and how many people will be enlightened. Once there is an omission in the article, it is a murder by mistake. The murderer was brave, but he killed more than a dozen people. Although the pen and ink are soft, if they are widely circulated, they will kill tens of millions of people. Therefore, we naturally do not want to mislead ourselves and others. Lu Deming sighed.
"The widely circulated Mongolian articles in the world are none other than "Urgent Articles" and "Thousand Character Essays", why? It is nothing more than to teach people to be literate when they can also teach them virtue. As soon as this article comes out, I am afraid that there will be another article in the world that has been passed down through the ages. ”
I saw that my teacher didn't find fault with this article. Only then did Luo Yan talk about what happened in Hongwen Hall today.
After listening to this, Lu Deming didn't blame Luo Yan for making a move on Li Xiaocha and the two, but said lightly: "The clan has no virtue, and with Your Majesty's character, it must be beaten." Enter, the word forgiveness, you have to learn more in the future. This matter, let him pass. ”
In Lu Deming's opinion, the two sons of King Huai'an are not as important as Li Shentong, King of Huai'an. Besides, Luo Yan himself is in charge, and Li Shimin will definitely not trouble Luo Yan. However, Li Shentong's two sons will have to return to Hongwen Hall sooner or later, and if Luo Yan is small-minded, the two of them will be numb.
Originally, he didn't plan to pursue anything, but Luo Yan naturally replied yes.
The next day, facing the bright sunshine, Luo Yan was relaxed and arrived at the Hongwen Pavilion.
Seeing the students looking at themselves with awe, Luo Yan also knew what was going on, and accepted the respectful morning congratulations from these people, after Luo Yan returned the salute. Go find the bachelor on duty today.
Although he is not familiar with Luo Yan, he also knows Yao Silian, who is also one of the eighteen bachelors of the original Literature Museum. After respectfully seeing the salute, Yao Silian simply returned the salute, and then said to Luo Yan: "Come in, I have heard about yesterday's incident. You did the right thing, you were well-founded, and you didn't lose face for us. If Your Majesty is held accountable, we will intercede for you at that time. Do things with peace of mind and don't think too much. ”
The relationship between Yao Silian and Lu Deming is also very good, and Lu Deming's disciples have something to do at this time, and these elders naturally can't stand by. Moreover, yesterday, the matter of Li Shentong's two sons spread throughout Chang'an when Li Shentong went to Li Shimin to complain. The teenage boys may still know how to hide, but the enlightened children took it as a matter of pleasure and told their parents when they got home.
There is no shortage of loudspeakers among the military generals of Wenchen, and this matter is related to the clan, so in just half a day, this matter has been known to the large and small neighbors in Chang'an City. Li Shen's announcement was naturally dug up at once and spread as a joke after the meal.
Sure enough, neither of the Li Xiaocha brothers came during the lecture, and they probably waited for the outcome of the matter.
Obviously, Li Shimin's cousin disappointed their brother, and at noon, an attendant brought Li Shimin's message to comfort Luo Yan not to be guilty of this, and to try to be his assistant teacher. At the same time, he also brought Luo Yan a square jade pendant, which means that the gentleman is as warm as jade.
At the same time, there was a different scene in the Huai'an Palace. After Li Shimin left Li Shentong behind in the early dynasty, he came to sue and reprimanded him for shielding his son without asking about right and wrong. At the same time, Li Shentong warned him to take his two sons to Hongwen Hall obediently, and if he made any trouble in the future, he would be dealt with strictly.
This made Li Shentong angry, what to do, he suffered at both ends.
After taking Li Shimin's reward, Luo Yan naturally needs to be grateful. After verbally thanking him in front of the chamberlain, Luo Yan was also ready to go to Li Shimin in person.
If you want to treat the "Disciple Rules" as an enlightened reading, it is impossible to achieve it on a large scale without official approval. Luo Yan wanted to dedicate it to Li Shimin, and then use it in the Hongwen Pavilion first. When the time comes, it will be good at the top, and it will be effective at the bottom.
After meeting Li Shimin, he first thanked Li Shimin for his magnanimity. After all, although Luo Yan said that he was in charge, the object of the cleanup was the real clan. If someone grabbed the pigtails and didn't let go, Luo Yan would not be in big trouble, but it was very likely that he would be forced to do it. Of course, at that time, even if Luo Yan sells straight, he will resolutely not do it.
After Li Shimin smiled and let Luo Yan get up, he pointed at Luo Yan and scolded with a smile: "You really will find trouble for me, do you know how much headache I have in the past two days." ”
"Weichen is afraid, but the children of this sect naturally want to set an example in the world, and the minister is very despisable for such an act." Luo Yan is a typical cheap seller, so he doesn't care how annoying Li Shimin is. Whoever made you the emperor, if you don't bother, we will be troubled.
"You can talk. Say, you're not here to thank you this time, what the hell, hurry up, I want to rest for a while. Li Shimin is really tired, and his subordinates look for him for everything, which makes him annoyed.
Luo Yan took out the pile of unbound paper from his sleeve, presented it to Li Shimin and said, "The minister presents a gift to Your Majesty." ”
Now Li Shimin was curious. It is really not easy for Luo Yan to be able to say so politely that he gave himself a gift. Start looking seriously right now.
Although Li Shimin fought in the south and north for several years, his literary accomplishment was also quite good. Think about it from the establishment of the Literature Museum to the present, Li Shimin and those bachelors talk about the past and the present, even if they are edified, they can also edify something, not to mention that Li Shimin himself still has a foundation.
Looking at more than 100 words, Li Shimin knew what Luo Yan wrote, that's right, Mengxue books. There were already few such things, but now a Mongolian reading book based on the Analects and the Three Rites has popped up, and Li Shimin was actually shocked. After he finished reading it, he didn't say anything directly to Luo Yan, but just asked the attendants around him to urgently summon the scholars of the Hongwen Pavilion to come to the audience.
Li Shimin instructed, and the chamberlain naturally did not dare to delay, that is, for most of the hour, many scholars from Hongwen Hall were all invited. That is, about 20 pages, Luo Yan deliberately wrote the words very large in order to let Lu Deming see clearly, which was convenient for a group of scholars to pass on to each other.
After waiting for a while, seeing that everyone had finished reading at least one page, Li Shimin began to ask: "Fellow scholars, I want to use this article as a thing to learn from Hongwen Pavilion, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
The first to speak was Yao Silian. Luo Yan had already taught Yao Silian to read the "Disciple Rules" before he came, not only that, but Luo Yan also explained his willingness to put this article in the Hongwen Pavilion. It was also after consulting Yao Silian's opinion that Luo Yan handed over the things to Li Shimin so directly. Otherwise, Luo Yanke would really disappoint this elder who cared about him very much.
"Weichen agrees with His Majesty's thoughts, this article can not only be used when you are learning, but even in the state capital and county, all literate people can read more, and the power of education is definitely not small."
As soon as Yao Silian finished speaking, several other scholars also read a few pages, and at this time they looked up at Li Shimin and said: "This article has lofty intentions, if it weren't for the deep study of the Analects and the Three Rites, I would never have been able to write such an article." It's just who the author is, and can Your Majesty recommend it. ”
Li Shimin smiled a little mysteriously: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you, don't you know who it is?" ”
Hearing Li Shimin's answer, these scholars all looked at Luo Yan with some surprise. Originally, these people were a little curious about this young man after seeing the couplet copied by Luo Yan, but now all their curiosity has turned into recognition. To be able to write such an article, at this age, is definitely not much worse than that of young people who have written Confucian classics.
