Yu Zhining's words were inserted into Meng You's heart like a sharp blade.

We are just dreaming, we have done nothing but dreaming, and we have no contribution to Datang and this nation.

And that's the way it is, when all walks of life are busy, when everyone is catching up.

What are Confucians doing?

They are busy thinking, thinking about what they are doing wrong and what they need to change.

How can we complete the unification of Confucianism, let Confucianism be completely twisted into a rope, and then, so that the emperor no longer dares to underestimate this force, begins to pay attention to them, and has to enable them.

At this time, Confucianism had also completed thinking and self-evolution.

When a brand new Confucian appears in front of the emperor, he will definitely be shocked, and then, with the help of the previous prestige, with the advantage of fame, the Confucian sect can almost easily regain the interests that originally belonged to them.

Confucianism can continue to dominate the government and the opposition and become the largest force in the current dynasty, so that Confucianism can continue to influence a country and future generations.

Confucianism was right, but everything else was wrong.

And their biggest mistake is that they do not fully recognize their own problems, and they do not clearly see the whole situation at the moment and the future trend.

They simply thought that the emperor was suppressing them and killing them, and the emperor was very ruthless.

But they never thought about why the emperor would do this. What are the benefits of this?

If they think about the problem and see the cause, then naturally they can see where their problems are and how they can evolve themselves.

The emperor was suppressing Confucianism, but he did not exterminate them all.

What does it mean that there is still a Confucian culture in the major academies?

Regardless of whether others see it or not, Yu Zhining sees it.

The status of Confucianism will undergo a radical change, the times are advancing, everything is progressing, and the survival of the fittest is a historical necessity.

The Han Dynasty did not make any progress for hundreds of years, this is a regression, this is the problem of Confucianism, this is a proof that Confucianism is not suitable to continue to dominate the development of this nation.

However, the existence of Confucianism must have its own reason for existence, and if it cannot be dominated, then it can only be assisted.

But now, Confucianism is not really aware of its problems, nor is it aware of its strengths.

"What the teacher means is that when will Confucianism be able to correct its position, recognize its own problems, and when will it be able to rise again?" Meng You realized something new, Yu Zhining had already said it so clearly, how could he not think of this?

Stupid, that's just relative, just like the students of the four major academies, even if they have the worst grades inside, they are still the pride of the sky when they come out.

As the saying goes, if there is no comparison, there is no harm, if Meng You is really a fool, how can he enter Yu Zhining's door?

If Yu Zhining hadn't been demoted, with his fame and status at that time, he would now be at least one of the top ten influential figures in Confucianism.

"It's not a re-rise, Confucianism has no chance to rise, Your Majesty will not give them this opportunity, the world is alive, and the same will not give them this opportunity, the existence of Confucianism, there is Confucianism's own way, just like what the teacher just said, everyone is dedicating their strength to this nation, at this time Confucianism is not aware of their own problems, and even fell into civil strife, so they can't see clearly, and they don't realize that in fact, their opportunity has come." Yu Zhining said slowly.

Looking at his student, Yu Zhining felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

I think back then, there were hundreds of students under my disciples, but now, only Meng You is left.

For those who choose to leave, choose to quit, and choose to change courts, Yu Zhining is not angry, and he will not complain about them.

The road is facing the sky, each going one way, who has whose choice, people can't blame you, and you can't go to the weird house either.

"In a few days, I want to go to Chang'an for the teacher, this trip is an opportunity, but also a crisis, you can accompany the teacher for half a year, for the teacher is very gratified, no matter what your choice is, as long as you can stick to the original intention, if the teacher can make a comeback, it will not treat you lightly." Yu Zhining said directly, his temper is like this, one is one, two is two, and he doesn't like to engage in those curves.

And for the only student he is currently with, he is not willing to hide anything from him, his life is his own, and he is not qualified to force others to choose a path he does not want to take.

"Students should remember the grace of the teacher's reconstruction, no matter what they encounter in the future, whether it is an opportunity or a crisis, the student will advance and retreat together with the teacher, as long as the teacher does not dislike the student's clumsiness." Meng You responded calmly.

Meng You didn't have any thought in his heart, he knew that he could enter the teacher's door, which was the teacher's kindness to him.

In the past six months, although the teacher has resigned and is at home, he has been trying his best to mention himself, and in half a year, Meng You feels that he has learned more than he did before.

The rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and the poor in the downtown no one asks, Meng You will not do this kind of thing, he only knows that it was the teacher who changed his life.

Even in this most difficult time, the teacher always manages the food and clothing of his family.

If this is not the case, how can he support his family as a poor scholar?

For Yu Zhining, the only thing Meng You has in his heart is gratitude, treating him like a father.

"Okay, you go for a walk first, this article, I'm going to meet friends for the teacher these days, and after half a month, I'll accompany the teacher to Chang'an!" Yu Zhining nodded with satisfaction, Yu Zhining, who had always been unintentional, couldn't hold back this time.

Meng You took the article to print it, and then distributed it, as Yu Zhining's protégé, he had a channel.

Of course, these are Yu Zhining's channels, and with Yu Zhining's authorization, he can naturally use them to his heart's content.

And Yu Zhining himself quietly left home, no one knows where he went and who he went to meet?

……

The recent Tang Dynasty has not been calm, first the emperor's unwarranted edict, and then the news that the emperor wants to build the north and south capitals, and intends to guard the border with the Son of Heaven.

One after another, it swooped over like a tidal wave, and it was overwhelming.

There was a trace of turmoil in the hearts of the people, and with the guidance of some well-intentioned people, at this time the people also began to reflect on their own problems.

But after thinking about it, they still haven't figured out what they are doing wrong.

Do you have no respect for the emperor? Has faith in the emperor diminished?

No......

As always, the respect and faith are still the same, and they all know that the good life now is brought about by the emperor's efforts to govern and benevolent government.

They didn't have any dissatisfaction with the emperor, just like Meng You did with Zhining, and they were endlessly grateful.

Didn't you answer the call?

No......

But the problem is that I'm living well here, and this is an immigration, not any other time, let alone those times of crisis, if that time comes, they will respond.

Just like the imperial court encouraged them to plant some new species, alternate planting and so on, although they had doubts, they still did it without hesitation.

Every year in the conscription, they all hope that their children can go to the army, earn money, and be loyal to the emperor, at least the idea of joining the army is positive.

What exactly are they doing wrong? They don't understand.

But the emperor's guilty edict is there, they didn't do anything wrong, why did the emperor bear this mistake for the common people in the world? Even to the extent that it is so serious that you want to issue an edict against yourself, to the extent that you want the Son of Heaven to guard the border?

Everyone is reflecting, but this reflection is like those headless flies, and they can't find the point or the reason at all.

The whole society is dizzy, and there is an indescribable feeling up and down, in short, it is very bad and unpleasant.

……

"A letter to all my compatriots? Where did it come from? Ma Zhou was stunned, and swept the content with big eyes, which was very pertinent, and his tone was also very direct, to the point.

Cabinet ministers meet several times a day to inform each other of what they know and to discuss countermeasures.

No one dares to be lazy and lazy at this time.

The appearance of this document also allowed everyone to find the root of the problem and find a solution.

But the problem is that this document is full of Confucian flavor.

Confucianism, the emperor didn't like it very much, and even the ministers didn't dare to show these things, and the officials below naturally had to abandon it.

Moreover, the current development situation also confirms that this idea is correct, leaving Confucianism, Datang can become better and progress faster.

"Sent by Gaoling County, Meng You, a former Zhongshu waiter and a student of Yu Zhining, a student of Zhongshu Sheren, was taking a walk, and this article was detained by Gaoling County and sent directly to Yongzhou Mansion, and Chengfan sent it over." Fang Xuanling introduced.

Chengfan is the word of Li Daozong, Li Daozong is the ruler of Yongzhou, and Gaoling County is a county under Yongzhou, so the news naturally came from there.

"What about Yu Zhining?" Ma Zhou asked again, this article must have come from Yu Zhining.

"Meng You said that he would go to meet friends, and he would come to Chang'an in half a month at the latest." Fang Xuanling continued: "The problem now is that Yu Zhining's article is to the point, and every sentence points to the source of the problem. For this article, is it blocked? Or sit idly by? ”

Fang Xuanling was very hesitant and entangled, sending this article out could solve the current problem immediately, but Confucianism was too heavy, in case Confucianism saw hope and rushed over frantically, the court would have to find a way to solve it, this is not an easy task, there are pros and cons, and he is not easy to choose.

"Sit back and watch it develop for now, and pay close attention to the movements of Confucianism, and send someone to find Yu Zhining, the sooner the better!" Ma Zhou thought for a moment and said several suggestions one after another.
