The old man is very famous, he is the 31st generation descendant of Confucius, the head of the Confucian family in Shandong, and deserves the existence of the holy temple.

But for Kong Yingda's lecture, Li Kong listened to it drowsily.

In fact, Li Kong doesn't know much about the Four Books and the Five Classics, but there are a lot of them, and he doesn't like these things, but he doesn't hate them.

It's just that the things he is facing at this time are too dazzling, and a text without punctuation makes people break sentences by feeling, which is simply life-threatening?

The most important thing is that although Kong Yingda is a descendant of Confucius, he is not very proficient in the understanding of the things left by his ancestor Confucius, and even many of them are explained by the continuation of the things left by the previous Confucian, and there is no intention to restore the original intention of Confucius at all.

This kind of deranged thing, learning it will only make you pedantic, is Li Kong that kind of person?

The morning class ended in a hurry, Li Kong mixed up between half dreaming and half waking up, and he was able to wake up completely, mainly because Li Fu took a hot meal and put it under his nostrils, so that he couldn't help but forcibly drag his thoughts back from Zhou Gong, who was already hungry.

"Fauber, don't be busy with this kind of thing in the future, just bring a little bit when I come by myself." Li Kong said to Li Fu while eating.

Li Fu nodded with a smile and said, "Actually, it's not a good thing, the old slave has nothing to do at home, and being able to run errands for the eldest young master can be regarded as a boring time." ”

"......" Li Kong was a little moved, and a little helpless, this is the reality of this era, as a subordinate, if the master family does not let him do things, he will think that the master family does not value him, and is not even ready to ask for him, and in the end he will even make a mistake, although the groove is very weak, but Li Kong has no ability to change.

Unless he can convince Li Shimin to let him engage in a constitutional monarchy, but is it possible? Maybe he just said that his head was about to move, right?

And even if he can really do it, in terms of the cultural popularity of today's era, it will be in vain.

……

Temple of Manna.

Li Shimin is eating with Empress Changsun, as the emperor, it is not too much to add a meal in the middle, and the tradition of the emperor eating three meals has been passed down since the Han Dynasty, and Li Shimin is not considered Jiyue.

After a while, Kong Yingda walked in slowly, and after saluting, he said, "Your Majesty, that Li Kong has been drowsy all morning, this person ......"

Kong Yingda didn't say the next words, but the contempt couldn't be concealed, obviously, in Kong Yingda's heart, Li Kong was directly labeled as a waste.

Li Shimin wiped his mouth, looked up at Kong Yingda, and said, "It's okay, you try him after the class starts, I don't believe he doesn't have anything in his head." ”

"This ...... The old minister obeys the order! Kong Yingda wanted to refute, but in the end he agreed, in his opinion, no matter how much he tried, it was useless.

An hour's rest passed quickly, and Li Kong continued his autistic personality very well, and after eating, he slept on the desk, ignoring the noise around him.

It's just that when he woke up again, he felt terrible soreness, thinking that the production of the chair should be put on the agenda as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to be lazy in the future, and it would be terrible to think about it.

All the students returned to their families, Kong Yingda walked up with leisurely steps as in the morning, glanced thoughtfully at Li Kong below, and began to teach.

The content of today's lecture is the eighth chapter of the Analects, Taber, and after reading the book according to the script, Kong Yingda marked it up for the students, and then began to explain it one by one.

But when he said that 'the people can make it happen, but not make it known', he stopped and said, "Li Kong, do you know the meaning of this sentence? ”

Li Kong was stunned for a moment, stood up in the blink of an eye, and said, "Master, you haven't said this yet, have you?" ”

Kong Yingda's beard trembled, and said, "Then do you understand the meaning of this sentence?" ”

Looking at Kong Yingda's contemptuous expression of wanting to eat people, Li Kong was a little dazed, and then he saw the firmness and helplessness in Kong Yingda's eyes, and suddenly his heart suddenly sank.

As a latecomer, he never looked down on the ancient people, so when he studied the history of the Tang Dynasty, he combined the continuation and progress of the entire feudal history, and even sometimes carefully figured out the thoughts of those people.

Now Kong Yingda's idea should have been imposed by someone, and there is no second person who can order Kong Yingda except Li Shimin, not even the eldest grandson, after all, Kong Yingda's temperament is there.

"Test yourself?" Li Kong was a little helpless in his heart, but more confident, since Li Shimin wanted to know his ability, then he would take out something to shock this old sour Confucian first.

With that up to his mind, he said, "It depends on what kind of explanation the Master needs." ”

Kong Yingda sneered: "Oh? So what are the meanings of this sentence? ”

"Well, let's talk about the meaning of the sages first, the people can make it, but they can't know it, this sentence means just let the people of the world go according to our ideas, there is no need to let them know why, this is the understanding of the foolish people.

Secondly, it can be read as the people can, so that they can't, so that they know, and the explanation is that if the morality, behavior and etiquette of the common people meet the requirements of the Tao and etiquette, let them go, if they don't know, then tell them and guide them on the right path.

Furthermore, it can be read as, the people can make it, from it, not to make it, to know it, which can be interpreted as if the people work hard, let them do it, if not, then tell them, let them understand the reason.

After that, can it also be read as the people can make it? No, let the knowledge be ......"

Li Kong talked eloquently below, but everyone including Kong Yingda was stunned, especially Kong Yingda, who insisted on the theory for decades and was forcibly overturned, and he was overturned so that he had no room for refutation at all, after all, with Confucius's virtue, it is absolutely impossible to appear 'the people can make it, but not make it known', no matter which interpretation is made, it is in line with Confucius's proposition.

It can be said that Li Kong directly opened a new door for him to fully understand the ancestors.

"Is this what you call waste? If he is a waste, then what is himself? At this moment, Kong Yingda's heart collapsed, but more guilt.

Thinking that he is a descendant of Confucius, he actually misinterpreted the knowledge of the ancestors and spread it, which is simply an unforgivable sin, and he even doubts that after he dies, the ancestors will directly take a knife and let him die again.

After a long time, Kong Yingda reacted, looked at Li Kong inexplicably, and after a long time, he walked in front of Li Kong, bowed deeply, and said, "The old man has been taught." ”

Looking at Kong Yingda in front of him, Li Kong was taken aback, and hurriedly turned sideways and said, "Master, is this going to torment the boy?" ”

"Master? In front of Mr., how dare you call the word master again? Kong Yingda was convinced this time.
