Chapter 8: Cai Yong's Discovery
Cai Yong is not only a contemporary Confucian, but also a famous teacher, this is the emperor who really taught the Son of Heaven.
is a mediocrity, but rarely mentions the original, mostly some of their own opinions, occasionally mentioning a few words such as the sage's mediocrity, adults are careful, and most of them are why these sentences should be like this.
In later generations, occasionally some people will say that the teaching methods of the ancients are substituted or something, in fact, in Ye Zhao's view, this is also different from person to person, such as Cai Yong, a famous teacher, can often be in simple terms, but the original obscure words can be said in words that most people in this era can understand, and it is quite vivid, without any sense of obscurity, but if you really study carefully, you can find that what Cai Yong said, every sentence does not leave the core of Confucianism.
Even if Ye Zhao is not too cold to Confucianism, he can listen to it with relish, and he does not catch a cold, which does not prevent him from understanding this knowledge, at least in terms of life, those planned by Confucianism, if someone can do it all, it is indeed a gentleman.
It's a pity that throughout the ages, people who can really do it...... I'm afraid that Confucius may not dare to say that he can do it all, after all, it is easier said than done, like Cai Yong, a great Confucian, has told Ye Zhao that he is an official and a traitor, this thing is too idealistic, in Ye Zhao's opinion, the truth is correct, but it is unrealistic to really do it, so he just listened, did not refute it, and even occasionally said some of his own opinions, but if he wanted to do it himself, I was afraid that he would not be able to do it.
Ye Zhao didn't expect that when he came to visit this time, he would be directly forced to teach a lesson, which made him very helpless, and it wasn't until the evening when the housekeeper Cai Yi came to tell him to have dinner that Cai Yong stopped unsatisfied.
"It's not early, and the students will continue to rush tomorrow, so they will go back to the post house first." Ye Zhao hurriedly got up and said goodbye, he talked about the class for most of the day, and he was really afraid that Cai Yong would leave him to talk at night.
"Let's eat together." Cai Yong also stood up and said undoubtedly: "You and I haven't eaten together for a long time, just right, Yan'er also talked about you some time ago, and I have seen it this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to see it in the future." ”
Ye Zhao was helpless, so he had to follow Cai Yong to the living room.
The Cai family is considered a big family, and the dishes in this era are relatively monotonous, but the Cai family's dinner is still a combination of meat and vegetables, although it is not exquisite, but it is also very reasonable, Cai Yong is to truly integrate the way of Confucius and Mencius into life.
"Yan'er has seen Senior Brother." In the living room, Ye Zhao saw Cai Yan.
In the memory of the predecessor, Cai Yan is still about ten years old, he is four years older than Cai Yan, in the memory of the predecessor, the relationship between the brother and sister is good, and now goodbye, but it is a little different from the girl in the memory, not the kind of stunning appearance at first sight, but more attractive, and as Cai Yong's daughter, Cai Yan has a scholarly atmosphere, giving people a very peaceful feeling.
"Yes, Qingshui comes out of hibiscus, and it is natural to carve and decorate, but my junior sister is becoming more and more motivated." Ye Zhao looked at Cai Yan, now he has just passed the age of fifteen, which is considered to be the age of Ji Xuan, the age of marriage and childbirth is quite early, he remembers that Cai Yan was promised to Wei Zhongdao, thinking that his junior sister is going to marry into the Wei family, Ye Zhao is a little unhappy.
"Good sentence!" When Cai Yong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at Ye Zhao: "I don't want Xiuming to be able to make such a good sentence, but I haven't got the whole article, but it's not beautiful, can Xiuming improve it?" ”
Ye Zhao suddenly wanted to give himself a mouthful, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The teacher knows that the disciple is not good at this, and this sentence is just an occasional feeling, which makes the teacher and the senior sister laugh." ”
Cai Yong's father and daughter were a little disappointed when they heard this, Cai Yong shook his head and smiled: "You, obviously my disciple, but you prefer the learning of the Legalist and the soldier, the old man is a scholar, but he has not even learned three CDs, but unfortunately Zhao Ji is a daughter, otherwise I can pass on what I have learned." ”
"Akihime? Is it the cousin's word? Ye Zhao smiled and diverted the topic.
"Well, Zhao Ji is now in harmony, and this word was taken by the old man on the day she was in harmony." Cai Yong smiled.
"Senior sister promised to give that Wei Zhongdao, but it was cheaper for that kid." Thinking of the tragic experience of such a beautiful woman in the future, Ye Zhao felt a little resentful in his heart, although Cai Yan was later exiled to the Xiongnu and had nothing to do with Wei Zhongdao, but because of the previous filthy relationship with the Wei family, Ye Zhao was very unhappy with the Wei family.
"Xiuming, you should be a little open-minded, the things of the day, it is that Wei Xian is difficult for you, I am even friends with Brother Ziren, and Zhongdao is also quite famous in Hedong, Zhaoji married the Wei family, and it is not an insult to my style." Cai Yong shook his head and said.
"Students are just talking." Ye Zhao shook his head, anyway, he didn't have a good impression of the Wei family.
"Xiuming, what do you think of the Taiping Sect?" Cai Yong did not continue to talk more on this topic, but changed the topic, after all, this is a private matter of the Cai family, and even if Ye Zhao is Cai Yong's favorite disciple, he cannot interfere too much in the private affairs of his Cai family.
"Taiping Sect?" Ye Zhao raised his head and looked at Cai Yong: "Why did the teacher ask this question?" ”
"The old man remembers that when you were in Ji County, you broke the Taiping Sect once." Cai Yong said: "That Wei Xian was also dismissed because of this, and was expelled from the Wei family, and now he is missing, at that time, this matter did not attract much attention in the court, but the old man already felt that at that time, there were actually many people in the court who secretly suppressed this matter, and therefore, in the past three years, the old man has paid more attention to the matter of the Taiping Sect." ”
"Did the teacher make a discovery?" Ye Zhao didn't answer, just asked calmly.
"A lot." Cai Yong frowned and said: "Although the Taiping Sect is trying to help the world and save people and lead people to goodness, its teachings are directly aimed at current politics and are very good at demagoguery...... Disaster is not far off. ”
Then he looked at Ye Zhao and said, "Xiu Ming has had contact with the Taiping Sect, and the old man wants to know how Xiu Ming thinks about this matter?" ”
