Not to mention this era, even if it is pushed back hundreds or thousands of years, it is a big sin in Confucianism to distort the meaning of sages, this problem does not sound big, but if you study it carefully, it should not be underestimated.

"What is a misinterpretation?" Ye Zhao didn't answer the rhetorical question, turned his head to look at Wang Yun and said, "Everyone present is a learned person, but who can tell Yu Zhao what the sage's intention is?" ”

Wang Yun couldn't catch it when he heard this, let alone him, Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan, and Lu Zhi, who are known as great Confucians, probably didn't dare to speak, and what they said was the meaning of the sages.

"But I'm a well-read person, and I'm not necessarily inferior to that Shengdou Xiaomin, right?" Wang Yun snorted coldly.

"Zishi actually wants to compare his knowledge with the Shengdou Xiaomin, and this kind of ambition is not obvious." Ye Zhao looked at Wang Yun and said with a smile.

Yuan Kui turned his head and looked at Ye Zhao and said: "The sub-master has mistakes and omissions, but the truth is true, if you let the Shengdou Xiaomin speculate on the meaning of the sages, it will inevitably be misunderstood, if it is passed on like this, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous?" ”

"What Taifu said is not good!" Ye Zhao said with a smile: "This statement is the real misinterpretation of the meaning of the sages. ”

"Oh?" Yuan Kui was angry, shook his head and smiled: "That Wei Wei said it, the old man listened to it. ”

"Don't dare!" Ye Zhao saluted Yuan Kui and said, "Why did the sages write books?" ”

"It is for the edification of the world, but it is not all blindly taught." Yuan Kui said in a deep voice.

"Zhao disagrees, Zhao thinks that the sages wrote books, not to educate, but to open the way for us and other future generations." Ye Zhao said with a smile: "There is no road in this world, there are many people who walk, and it has become a road, as far as this book of Analects is concerned, in fact, in the final analysis, it is just the understanding of the sages in life, easy to understand and difficult to be surprised, if you learn it with the heart of learning, I am afraid that anyone such as me may not be able to reach the height of the first saints, the reason is actually very simple, because it is the road of the ancestors, not the road of our waiting, the times are different, the world is different, the situation is different, so we look at life, look at the world is also different. ”

"As you say, the study of the ancestors is useless?" Taishi Ling Li Chang frowned.

"Nature is not useless, the study of the ancestors can allow me to see the world faster and avoid many detours, as I said before, the learning of Mr. is not in education, but in paving the way for me and other future generations." Ye Zhao turned around and looked at Liu Hongdao: "However, how vast this sea of learning, how many things in the universe of heaven and earth that the ancestors cannot explain, if we blindly pursue the doctrine established by the ancestors, for my generation, it is only to take the road of the ancestors again, and throughout their lives, they may not be able to reach the realm of the ancestors, let alone innovate?" ”

It is because they do not have the same knowledge that has been passed down from generation to generation like all of you here, and their thinking is sealed in the circle solidified by the ancestors of this generation, so it is easier for them to walk out of a new path. Rather than curbing its growth. ”

"What Xiu Ming said is very true!" Lu Zhi sighed, stood up and said with a smile: "The old man has studied the scriptures all his life, and everyone in the world respects the old man as a Confucian master, but the more he studies it, the more he can feel that the study of the ancestors is quite different from my dynasty and the current state of the world. ”

After speaking, Lu Zhi hugged his fists at Liu Hong and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Xiu Ming said makes sense, and the circulation of folk books should be channeled by the imperial court instead of blindly suppressing it." ”

"The minister also seconded it!" Yilang Ma Riyan came out of the ranks, and smiled at Liu Hong: "I thought that although Wei Wei was valued by Cai Weng and had a profound knowledge, it was just the flattery of others, but today I know that Wei Wei has an unprecedented vision and pattern in this knowledge!" ”

Yuan Kui, Wang Yun and others became a little difficult to look at, Lu Zhi was fine, he had a good relationship with Cai Yong, and he was even more of an emperor, and it was not difficult to understand when he spoke for Ye Zhao, but Ma Riyan's standing in line was a dangerous signal.

Ma Riyan is a great Confucian Ma Rong clan, although not a great Confucian, but the prestige in Shilin is not low, he is obsessed with academics all his life, rarely participates in the affairs of the court, and at the same time, behind him, there are a large number of clear streams, these people have nothing to do in political affairs, typical people of pure talk, but they control public opinion in many times, and the influence among the scholars is quite high, if these nerds support Ye Zhao today, even if these people react in the future, they will no longer be able to change the situation.

Wang Yun stood up with some resentment and said, "According to Wei Wei's words, wouldn't it be possible for the peddlers and pawns to argue with me?" Where is our dignity? ”

"It's a joke." Ye Zhao sneered: "Just because I am afraid that others will surpass you, I want to suppress it, how ridiculous, what is the difference between the words of the master and the act of burning books and pit Confucianism in the pre-Qin Dynasty?" If it is really as the master said, wouldn't it turn back time and repeat history? If it is really as the Zishi said, wouldn't it make Your Majesty and the Manchu Dynasty bear the notoriety of hindering the progress of the times, thousands of years later, our descendants will be ashamed of our ancestors, and how will the descendants face the descendants of future generations under the nine springs of the future? ”

I have only heard of how to face the ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs, and how to face the descendants of future generations, it is the first time I have heard of it, but it seems to be quite reasonable.

Wang Yun was speechless for a while, so he had no choice but to return to the train.

"My generation of scholars, to be able to gather here to discuss politics, proves that we are the best people in the world, why are we afraid of others surpassing us?" Ye Zhao saluted Liu Hong, bowed and said: "Yes, the minister thinks that this time the hundred officials are jointly signed, and the real number is not necessary, rather than worrying that the circulation of these books will cause turmoil among the people, it is better to think about how to guide Fang for the right way." ”

"What Ye Qing said is very good." Liu Hong nodded and said: "I don't want to do that book-burning and Confucianism again, and leave a reputation for eternity, I don't know what you think?" ”

Yuan Kui glanced at Qingliu, who was already obviously on Liu Hong's side, sighed helplessly, and turned his head to look at He Jin.

He Jin nodded quietly, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, it's just that the people don't know how to restrain it, once they have knowledge, but they don't know how to suppress it, they will be harmed for a long time. ”

Liu Hong's chest suffocated, and he suddenly coughed violently.

Ye Zhao frowned and looked at He Jin, Yuan Kui and the others, if it was reasonable before, then now, it is simply a naked/naked/naked threat.

The words of the small group of thieves are completely false, Ye Zhao commands the soldiers and horses in Beijing, and naturally has his own news channels, if this situation really occurs, how can he not receive any rumors?

opened his mouth, but Ye Zhao didn't say anything, he knew that if he didn't have it now, it didn't mean that he wouldn't have it in the future, this time's action really stimulated the bottom line of the scholars, if they really angered them, I am afraid that the things He Jin said would immediately be staged in all states and counties across the country, and it would become more and more intense.

"Your Majesty~" Zhang Rang patted Liu Hong's back worriedly and helped him calm down, but with little effect, Liu Hong's cough became louder and louder, and Ye Zhao faintly saw that between Liu Hong's fingers, there was a faint red color overflowing.

immediately stepped forward, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty is not in good health, it is better to postpone this matter, Your Majesty will go back to the palace to rest first, and it will not be too late to discuss it after his health improves!" ”

Yuan Kui stepped forward and frowned: "This matter is related to the country, don't slack off!" ”

"Is Taifu going to let His Majesty's Holy Communion fail before he is willing?" Ye Zhao stopped in front of Yuan Kui and stared at Yuan Kui.

"The old minister is just thinking about the society, this matter is related to the country, the sage, the people are noble and the king is light, if it is only because His Majesty is not in good health, he will be ignored by the country......"

"What the saint said may not be true!" Ye Zhao interrupted Yuan Kui's words and said in a deep voice: "If this Manchu Dynasty Minister can follow the words of that sage, why is there such chaos today?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yuan Kui glared at Ye Zhao and shouted.

"Zhao thinks that the wisdom of the ether Fu should be able to understand what Zhao means!" Ye Zhao looked at Yuan Kui without giving an inch.

"If the world is in turmoil because of this, will the captain bear the responsibility for this crime?" Yuan Kui stared at Ye Zhao coldly, and said Sen Ran.

"Don't dare!" Ye Zhao said indifferently: "Zhao is just doing his duty as a minister, Zhao can't afford such a big burden in the world, but I think Fu De is highly respected, and he should be able to afford this responsibility!" ”

"What a sharp mouth, that's how Cai Bojiao taught you the way to be a minister!?" Yuan Kui scolded.

"How does the teacher teach me, don't worry about the master, but the words of the master seem to be insulting and the teacher's meaning, forgive and rude, who are you? Dare to question my teacher? ”

"I'm the prince of the court, the fourth and third princes, why can't I?" Yuan Kui said coldly, others may respect Cai Yong's fame, but he is no worse than Cai Yong.

"Ha, if you don't have your illustrious family background, dare to ask Taifu, at this time, what qualifications do you have to humiliate the great Confucian?" Ye Zhao sneered.

"Wei Wei also said that this matter is just a hypothesis, and the name of the third prince of Taifu IV is already a fact, so why talk about it again?" Wang Yun sneered on the side.

"Enough!" Liu Hong finally calmed down, stood up with a slap on the table, and said sharply: "This matter is very important, I am not in good health today, so I will postpone it for the time being, and discuss it again in the next day!" Retreat! ”

After speaking, ignoring the call of Yuan Kui and others, he left the palace directly under the support of Zhang Rang.

"Humph!" Yuan Kui glanced at Ye Zhao coldly, brushed his sleeves away, and the ministers also left one after another, Ye Zhao saw this, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out side by side with Lu Zhi.
