Chapter 65: The Scourge Spirit

To tell the truth, Buddhism is more demagogic and can smooth out a nation's water chestnut.

However, propagating Buddhism, apart from increasing the power of Buddhism, will not do China any good!

But propaganda Confucianism is different.

A nation cannot be completely defeated by force, and they will rise again if given the opportunity. Only by using culture can we really defeat a nation, eliminate their language, make them all speak Chinese, and have Chinese culture in their minds, and in a hundred years these nations will disappear from the world and merge into China.

Shi Jin saw that the literati in the audience were excited, and hurriedly shouted: "You are all heroes of Confucianism, register your names first." I will have a memorial to this event and engrave it on a stone tablet so that your name will be remembered forever! ”

Hearing that Shi Jin was going to log in and make a souvenir, it immediately aroused the excitement of more than 30 Confucian students, and they all stepped forward to sign their names at the registration office under the podium.

Most of these Confucian scholars were seventeen or eighteen years old, and they were the most prosperous and high-spirited young people.

Seeing that they signed and drew the pledge, Shi Jin's heart that had been hanging finally settled down.

Just sign and draw, otherwise when they calm down, who knows if they will regret it.

Now that you dare to repent, Lao Tzu called twenty or thirty soldiers with loud voices, with your signatures, to block the door of your house every day.

Pull up the horizontal cloth, expose the abuse, and see if you still have the face to dare not go to Golden State.

Fortunately, most people in this era, especially literati, value promises. They regard this as more important than their lives, and once they make a promise, they will not dare to break it easily.

Shi Jin publicly called for the spread of Confucianism outside the Central Plains, so as to completely solve the problem of the non-stop harassment of the Central Plains by the people outside the Cypriot Islands for thousands of years. At the same time, Confucianism is encouraged to forge ahead and take the initiative to spread propaganda in order to strengthen Confucianism and not be suppressed by Buddhism. It was like a calm water surface that was suddenly thrown into a big stone, shocking the entire Great Song Dynasty.

The imperial court, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism could not stay out of the matter, and there was a lot of discussion about it.

Luo Congyan and Li Tong were originally going to separate in Shanzhou, but when they heard Shi Jin's appeal, they stayed again.

A restaurant in Shanzhou, two people sit opposite each other.

"Do you think what General Poliao said makes sense?" Luo Congyan is older than Li Tong, so he spoke first.

"That makes sense! We Confucians should take on the great responsibility of educating the world, and we should take the initiative! Li Tong replied inexplicably.

"We should really be proactive, since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, I feel that we Confucians have been much more conservative, and we are not as aggressive as we were in the Han and Tang Dynasties!"

Luo Congyan shook his head and said, "What I want to ask is not this, I mean what General Shi said, is it reasonable for Buddhism to replace our Confucianism?" ”

Li Tong heard a sigh and said: "It's hard to say about replacement, but it's okay to suppress it." Western Xia, Great Liao, and even the previous Southern Tang Dynasty and Later Liang are not proof. If we don't want to make progress, we may be suppressed by the bald donkeys of Buddhism. ”

Luo Congyan nodded when he heard it and said, "I can't imagine that none of us, who claim to be Confucian students, can see clearly?" ”

Li Tong said: "The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear!" Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, relying on the Zhao family's generous treatment of scholars, most of the Confucian scholars have been too comfortable, lingering in the land of fireworks all day long, forgetting the truth of being born in sorrow and dying in peace. General Shi came at the right time to take the lead, maybe this is also an opportunity for our Confucianism, with the help of General Shi's attack on the Liao State, to establish the orthodox status of our Confucianism in the Liao State. ”

"You support General Shi in this operation!" Luo Congyan said with some surprise.

Li Tong nodded slowly, "Just like General Shi said, in order to spread Confucianism, the Holy Master can travel around the world for fourteen years without leaving his old age. We, the disciples, should uphold the spirit of the Holy Teacher, and in order to spread Confucianism, we should work tirelessly and not be afraid of danger! ”

Luo Congyan heard: "Even Buddhist monks can" do things for the Dharma, why spare their lives", not to mention those of us Confucian scholars who take the world as their own responsibility! Anyway, the old man also wrote a few letters when he went back, hoping to help the academy established by Shi Jin to better spread our Confucian culture. ”

The appeal to spread Confucianism won the approval of many literati, and some Confucianists used their influence to help Shi Jin promote his Jinzhou College.

In the Tokyo Imperial Palace, Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji also heard the news, and he asked Cai Jing and Wang Hao who were telling them: "Is it true that General Poliao said that as long as he teaches the four books and five classics of the people outside the Saiwai, he can completely solve the scourge of their disobedience to the invasion of the Central Plains?" ”

Cai Jing and Wang Hao suddenly broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads when they heard this, if they had been studying before, they would have agreed, but step by step to climb to the current position, they had already abandoned the Confucian set, and the pedestrians were all sorcerers.

Cai Jing and Wang Hao thought in their hearts: Holy Lord, how can you believe those words that fool ordinary people.

But in their hearts, they would never dare to say it. Because these are the basic common sense that Confucianism instills in the emperor on weekdays. Now to get them to answer no, that is not the same as telling the emperor that Confucianism is not that powerful at all.

What is said to be half of the treatise on ruling the world, it is a lie to children.

That Cai Jing and they will be known by other Confucian scholars in the future, and they will not be swallowed by life.

Cai Jing and the others could only bite the bullet and say: "As long as everyone in Liao can learn the Four Books and Five Classics, it will naturally be completely solved!" ”

Everyone has learned literature, where there are still soldiers, naturally they will not come to invade the Central Plains!

Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji shouted happily when he heard this: "Then quickly send someone to Liao to teach Confucianism!" It's not easy to say the rest of our Great Song Dynasty, there are not many idle officials, they are all incorporated into the Ministry of Rites, and then sent to Liao as an envoy to teach Liao people Confucianism! ”

Cai Jing and Wang Hao almost rolled their eyes when they heard it, and even sent to the Lingnan area in the Great Song Dynasty, those officials felt that they were exiled and went to a barbaric land, and many of them had written suicide notes in advance.

Now I still want to send them to the enemy country Liao across the sea, but I don't want their lives.

I'm afraid that the Holy Lord, you have just issued a holy decree, and they will immediately abandon their official positions and refuse to obey the edict.

But in this case, Cai Jing and they can't say it clearly.

"This, Holy Lord, is now in tense relations with the Liao State, so I boldly sent officials there, just afraid that the Liao State will still think that we want to spy on the military situation. Or wait for a while, wait for the relationship to ease, or see how the academy established by General Po Liao is effective? ”

Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji nodded when he heard it and said, "What Cai Qing said makes sense, then wait and see for a while." ”

successfully fooled the emperor with procrastination, Cai Jing and Wang Hao were immediately relieved.

Confucian people either admire or wait and see. But when the people in Buddhism heard the news, they all scolded Shi Jin for this scourge!
