Chapter 57 Confucianism is divided into eight and converges in two
After Tian Wei walked out of the palace gate, he was quite high-spirited, because who would have thought that he would be able to jump into the dragon gate, just with the idea of Chao Buzhi, plus some of his own analysis, he could replace Dou Ying and become Zhan Shi.
Although Dou Ying dislikes Zhan Shiguan, it is because he is a relative of the Dou family, after all, the current Empress Dowager is surnamed Dou, and he may come back at any time.
But Tian Wei is not, you must know that his sister in the palace is not enough to protect herself!
Outside the palace gate, Tian Wei saw that Chao Cuo was about to get into the carriage, he hurriedly ran up and helped Chao Cuo up, and then continued to thank him: "The court played right just now, and the lower officials thank Dr. Chao." โ
Chao Cuo said lightly: "Chao is a virtuous person for the country, no need to thank you." โ
Tian Wei didn't care when he saw Chao's indifferent attitude, and then said: "Having said that, the lower official still has to thank Doctor Chao, not to mention the lower official and Chao... If it weren't for Chao Langzhong's advice, the lower officials would not have the performance of the court just now, so no matter what, the lower officials would have to worship Dr. Chao. โ
As soon as Tian Wei mentioned Chao Buzhi, Chao Cuo's face suddenly softened, and he said gently: "Since Tian Zhan is familiar with his uncle, he might as well move around more in the future." โ
After Chao Cuo finished saying this, he got into the car and left without waiting for Tian Wei to speak again.
Although Chao Cuo couldn't see it, Tian Wei still bowed respectfully, and he didn't get up until Chao Cuo's carriage was far away, but the corners of his mouth showed a faint smile, because he went up to the boat that Doctor Yu Shi mistakenly was.
Then Tian Wei returned to the palace, because he had not completed the task given to him by Emperor Jing, and he had to go to his sister to report the good news.

At this time, there was another scene in Chao's mansion, and I saw Yuan Gusheng arguing with Chao Bu again.
The reason is that Yuan Gusheng has been instilling a concept in Chao Buzhi that Confucianism is particularly bullish, and he should join, and then with his own influence, he surpassed Huang Lao's technique to make Confucianism stand above the court.
Chao Buzhidu was a little annoyed to hear it, not to mention that he was not an authentic Confucian apprentice, but to say that at this time, Lao Tzu's faithful believer Empress Dowager Dou still had more than ten years to live, and he was not tired, how dare he brush the tiger's whiskers?
What's more, who is Chao Buzhi? The Born Again? Although he also received sixteen years of schooling, that self-centered nature will not change anytime soon.
Therefore, Chao Buzhi said directly: "Since Yuan Gugong believes that Confucianism can explain all the supreme principles between heaven and earth, then I want to ask Yuan Gugong 'Confucius is ancient, Confucianism is divided into eight, and converges in two'. Is human nature inherently good or inherently evil? โ
Yan Zhu next to him was also a person who read poetry and books, and as soon as he heard this, he knew that the two of them were definitely going to collapse, and he saw that Yuan Gusheng's face was a little ugly.
Because Chao Buzhi is not exchanging ideas, but revealing the old bottom of Confucianism, this is the table of Chiguoguo!
As we all know, Han Feizi once pointed out: "Since the death of Confucius, there have been Confucianism of Zizhang, Confucianism of Zisi, Confucianism of Yan, Confucianism of Meng, Confucianism of Qidiao, Confucianism of Zhongliang, Confucianism of Sun, and Confucianism of Lezheng." โ
This is the interpretation of "Confucianism is divided into eight" in Chao Buzhi's discourse, and "convergence in two" means that there are two main schools of thought that have been handed down.
After the great changes of the Warring States Qin and Han dynasties, six of the eight schools of Confucianism, including the Yanzi faction, gradually disappeared and became unheard.
There are only two Confucianism that can really be passed down from generation to generation in the Qin and Han dynasties and beyond, namely the Confucianism of the Meng family and the Confucianism of the Sun family.
Mengshi is Meng Ke (Mencius). His scholarship comes from the door of Zisi, and Zisi is the grandson of Confucius, so it is said that Mencius is a lineage of preaching.
Sun is Sun Qing, also known as Xunzi. Xunzi's learning was inherited from Confucius's disciples Zigong and Zixia, so it is said that Xunzi came out of Zixia's lineage to pass on the scriptures.
This was the mainstream school of Confucianism before Dong Zhongshu during the Qin and Han dynasties.
On the one hand, Zisi and Mencius still adhered to Confucius's idea of etiquette, and on the other hand, they put forward the study of outer benevolence and inner sage, that is, the Confucianism of personality, which evolved into the theory of Confucius, Han, Cheng and Zhu after the Tang and Song dynasties.
The study of Xunzi originated from Zizhang and Zixia, mainly the study of foreign kings, that is, the study of power and spells. The Legalist faction in the middle and late Warring States period actually mainly came from the Zixia school.
At this time, Chao Buzhi asked this question, in fact, he was asking what kind of person Yuan Gusheng was?
Seeing that Yuan Gusheng didn't answer, Chao Buzhi could remember the words of this old boy, so he smiled and said: "When I was still in Yingchuan, I once heard a story that there was a young man named Chen Fan in Lincun, who lived alone in a room, and the house was filthy. โโ
"Who knew that Xue Qin retorted, 'If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?' , does Yuan Gu think so? โ
What's more, the meaning in Chao Buzhi's words also contains another meaning, that is, Confucianism has not even figured out and figured out the factional disputes within itself, how can it dare to open the mouth of "governing the country and leveling the world"?
Although this is not a contradiction, but now that it is brought up by Chao Buzhi, Yuan Gusheng is a little disgraced, after all, he is also a person who wants face, unlike people like Tian Wei who can spit on their own faces.
"Although Yuan Gugong has governed Confucianism and righteousness all his life, I am afraid that he is far less proficient than me. I think Confucianism is different from a villain and a gentleman. The Confucianism of a gentleman, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, keeping the good and evil, making sure that Ze and the time will leave his name for future generations. โ
"If the husband is a villain, he only scheming, working for fame and fortune, and his youth is only for fame; Although he has the talent of the world, he is a villain if he is corrupt in virtue. โ
"And if the first emperor of Li Sizuo decided to be six and eight desolations, and succumbed to the power of the eunuch, he would inevitably be cut off and die, this so-called Confucianism of the villain; Even if the power is temporary, what can it be! โ
In fact, Chao Buzhi said that there is another meaning of these words, that is, above history, after Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he accepted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion, deposed the hundred schools, respected Confucianism, established a doctor of the Five Classics, and recruited virtuous people from all over the country.
At that time, Yuan Gu, who was over 90 years old, went to the capital Chang'an as a virtuous person, and at the same time he also warned Gongsun Hong (later official to prime minister) of Qi people among these virtuous people: "Gongsun Tzu, learn to speak with words, and learn from the world without songs." โ
However, later, because Yuan Gu was too old, Zhu Confucianism was jealous of him, and he soon returned to his hometown.
Throughout his life, Yuan Gusheng has been running around for the doctrine of Confucianism, which can be described as a lifelong effort, but when it comes to the exclusive respect of Confucianism, he is excluded by the younger generations, which must be ridiculous and miserable!
Isn't Yuan Gusheng's life ostracized by villains? How similar this is to him.
