Kong Yingda, whose name is far away, was born in a wealthy family with status and reputation, but unlike the anointing world, Kong Yingda does not have the habit of being a gentleman, nor does he hope to enter the officialdom with the grace of his father.

During the great cause, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty conquered the world's famous Confucianism, gathered in Luoyang, imitated the case of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Shiqu Discussion Scripture, Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty White Tiger Discussion Ceremony, ordered to hold a large-scale Confucian discussion conference in Luoyang, Kong Ying in response to participate, talented hair, cut the pass to seize the general, tongue battle group Confucianism, became the most dazzling young Confucianism at the event, at the age of only thirty-two.

The so-called wood show in the forest, the wind will destroy it, the ancestors who were defeated by Kong Yingda were ashamed, indignant, and secretly sent assassins to cause harm, mentioning this past, Kong Yingda on the platform, his demeanor was calm, but he revealed helplessness, and sighed: "Confucian scholars only care about each other, intriguing, who can still quietly study knowledge, find the true meaning of the scriptures, and spread the way of the ancestors." ”

Everyone sighed together, and a few Confucian scholars with gray beards nodded again and again, looking unbearable to look back on the past.

"The way of Confucius and Mencius, from the Han and Wei dynasties to the present, since the Zhengshuo is different, will be three hundred years, the teachers have different theories, nothing to correct, the family law is different, there are many schools, the group of scriptures and different theories, the teachers have different opinions, not less than dozens of hundreds of thousands, one after another, to have the potential of fire and water for each other." Kong Yingda said bitterly: "What's more, Ji Renshou, the abolition of the world's learning, only one Guozi remains, seventy-two disciples, Emperor Yang ascended the throne, reopened the itch order, and the school of the county of the country, but there is no name for the establishment of the school, but there is no truth of Hongdao." ”

"Today, the Tang Dynasty is peaceful in the world, the style of writing and martial arts are the foundation of the world, and those who are good at it, only Yao, Shun, Zhou, and Confucius think that they are like wings, like fish in water, and if they lose it, they will die, and they can't be left without ears for the time being." Kong Yingda said excitedly: "Your Majesty respects Confucianism, advocates education, and establishes Confucius temples in Chinese studies, with Yifu as the first saint, Yanzi as the first teacher, and the great conquest of Confucian scholars in the world as scholars, and the number of fortunate Chinese studies, so that the sacrificial wine, the doctor's lectures, and from time to time give Cambodian silk ......"

It is like the river surging endlessly, and the sky is falling, praising Li Shimin in favor of the rare Shengming Emperor in the heavens and on the earth, which attracted a group of Confucian students to echo loudly, and several doctoral assistants shouted even more, after all, it is also a fact, and I hope to reach the ears of the emperor, so that Long Yan is happy, and allocate money to repair the Guozi prison house.

Great Confucianism is great Confucianism, sprinkled with thousands of words, just a preface, before officially entering the theme, it successfully mobilized the atmosphere of everyone, smiling slightly, Kong Yingda continued: "Everyone reads for their own purpose, or for the step of advancement, or for the foundation of their life, to earn a family business, to seek high-ranking officials, grace and descendants, it is not impossible." ”

"However, a lifetime, long but decades, like a passing cloud, in the blink of an eye is a cup of loess, my generation, read hard day and night, Hao Shou poor scriptures, tireless, is it just for this?" Kong Yingda suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed to the crowd, and said in a fierce voice: "Confucian, what is it?" ”

It seemed that he had become accustomed to such a situation, and in the crowd, a Confucian scholar stood up and said in a loud voice: "Self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country and leveling the world." ”

Kong Yingda withdrew his arm and closed his eyes slightly, noncommittal.

Seeing that Kong Yingda was not satisfied with this answer, someone stood up and said: "Follow the words of the saint, follow the rules of the saint, follow the footprints of the saint, and promote the way of the saint." ”

Yes, a few white-haired doctors brushed their beards and smiled, this is what Confucians should do.

Under the gaze of everyone, Kong Yingda opened his eyes and asked calmly: "What is the original intention of the sage, what is the truth of the world, what is the way of the sage, do you really understand?" ”

After being stunned for a moment, the Confucian scholar bowed his head, blushing with shame, and was speechless.

"That's just a waste of money." Waving his hand to sit down, Kong Yingda sighed softly and muttered to himself: "Confucian, what is it." ”

Everyone was quiet, and a few young Confucian students were eager to try, but after thinking for a while, they didn't know the essentials, so they gave up with a sigh, and saw a few doctors talking to each other, whispering and discussing, and then they also communicated with their classmates and friends next to them, and their voices were buzzing, but Kong Yingda turned a deaf ear and ignored them.

"What the hell does Kong Siye want to ask?"

"Brother, why are you studying?"

"Either for reason, or for the sake of edifying the people."

Everyone talked about it, everyone had different opinions, many speculations, but none of them were conclusive, in the corner, Qian Feng was also puzzled, and he didn't know why, so he asked with his surname: "Twenty-one Lang, do you know the answer?" ”

"A few options for you to look at." Han Rui said casually: "What is the first saint to the Tao, the true heart of the surname, what is the true meaning of exploring the scriptures, washing the dust of Shilin and the like, you can answer casually, and you will definitely be appreciated by Kong Siye." ”

Yes...... An exclamation attracted everyone's attention, Han Rui immediately stopped his voice and looked back, but he saw that he didn't know when, there was a young Confucian sitting behind him, with thick eyebrows and thick eyes, simple and honest, and he found that he had disturbed everyone, he was really embarrassed, and he was a little dazed and at a loss.

"Ouyang Tong, when Si Ye lectured on the scriptures and taught the scriptures, what kind of system did he shout and shout." A doctor frowned and said that if it weren't for his father's face, he would have been reprimanded.

"It doesn't matter." Kong Yingda smiled and asked, "Ouyang Tong, don't you have an understanding?" ”

"Study the first saint to the Tao, know the true heart of the surname, explore the true meaning of the scriptures, and wash the dust of Shilin." Ouyang Tong said in a trance, his voice was not loud, but it was all over the audience.

After a while, Kong Yingda smiled, showed a look of approval, nodded and said: "He is worthy of being the son of Ouyang Bachelor, with a family history, ambition, and lofty knowledge. ”

Coming to his senses and noticing the admiration or jealousy of everyone's gazes, Ouyang Tong was at a loss, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to Han Rui and said loudly: "It's not me, it's what he said." ”

Everyone was watching, and it was too late for Han Rui to dodge, more than 100 pairs of eyes, neatly pierced, his gaze was like a torch, and the transmission pierced, the taste was really not very pleasant.

"Isn't it very good, it's a student of your hall?" Several doctors communicated softly, and the Confucian scholars below also inquired about each other, Kong Yingda was slightly stunned, and immediately happily stretched out his hand to signal, and said with a pleasant face: "Please come up and answer." ”

"Twenty-one Lang, don't be grinding, hurry up."

Under Qian Feng's push, Han Rui also knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he stood up helplessly, walked to the front of the platform, waved his hands as a salute, and saw Kong Yingda and a group of Dr. Guozi and teaching assistants.

As the secretary of the country, but Kong Yingda usually focuses on political affairs, and occasionally comes to give lectures, so naturally he can't get to know all the prison middle school students, and he doesn't feel strange when he sees a strange face like Han Rui, so he smiled and asked again: "Confucian, what is it?" ”

Subconsciously looking around, Han Rui was about to repeat, suddenly his body was slightly sluggish, but he saw that at the end of the platform, lined up, there were several old men with elegant appearance and extraordinary bearing, one of them, gray beard and flowing hair, wide robe and wide sleeves fluttering, temperament like pine and cypress, old and strong, seeing Han Rui, his eyes were full of surprise, but he suddenly had a solemn face and ignored it.

The anger has not subsided, and he looks like he hates iron but not steel, it is not Yu Shinan, who is it.

Ha, I just gave an angry reprimand and drank the day before yesterday, and now I have come to someone's territory again, if I don't deal with it carelessly, and please his old man, I will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, Han Rui thought for a moment, behaved calmly, and said calmly: "I remember the previous day, an elder instructed me to live in the world, but I am just a walking corpse......

There was an uproar, everyone was surprised, the preface didn't match the afterword, what did it mean?

In a suspicious gaze, Han Rui continued: "That night, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep peacefully, thinking that I would read less poetry and books, although I have not yet glimpsed the first saint and the truth, but there is also a slight experience, but recently, in the red world, I lost my surname, and lived up to the expectations of the elderly. ”

As he spoke, Han Rui knelt down sideways, paused his head, and looked in this direction, but at the end were Yu Shinan and others, holding their beards, Yu Shinan snorted goodbye, such an action fell into the eyes of those who understood, but the matter was obvious.

"Brother Yu, the children are stubborn, just a few words of instruction, why do you need to reprimand."

A few people next to him, but Yao Silian, Lu Deming, Linghu Dedi and other great Confucians, who are close in age to Yu Shinan, are both bachelors of Hongwenguan, and are like-minded friends, and they speak naturally and casually.

"That's right, listen to his words, watch his deeds, this young man is not a foolish person, just persuade him with gentle words and words, there is no need to take such a fierce medicine."

"Brother Yu, after that, the younger generations should be more supportive and praised, naturally they must not make him arrogant, but they can't be humiliated, resulting in frustration and depression."

Listening to the remarks of several old friends, Yu Shinan was silent, but he felt that there was some truth, and he couldn't help but feel a little remorse in his heart, thinking about whether to take the opportunity to step down.

"Suitable talents, Kong Siye asked, people in my generation, study hard all night, be poor, and work tirelessly, what is it for?" Han Rui straightened up and said loudly: "You don't hear it, the rich don't need to buy good land, there are thousands of millets in the book, there is no need to raise the hall to live in peace, there is a golden house in the book, don't hate no one to go out, there are many cars and horses in the book, don't hate to marry a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, if the man is in his life, he reads it in front of the window." ”

This poem of persuasion naturally resonated with many Confucian scholars, especially those scholars from poor families, who studied diligently, and what they wanted was to get ahead and return home with wealth.

"Vertical, tossing and turning, even if you realize this principle, it is really unteachable." Yu Shinan said angrily.

Several great Confucians also shook their heads and sighed, but they were also hermits who didn't know the fireworks in the world, and persuaded: "Little boy, greedy for comfort and enjoyment, it is understandable, not impossible, not impossible." ”

"Maybe the elders think that the kid is like rotten wood, and he has been taught three times, but it is difficult to turn it into a wood." Han Rui smiled and said: "In this regard, the kid also has a word of justification, if he doesn't even do the self-cultivation of the Qi family, and finally says that he is only running around for his livelihood, how can he say that governing the country and leveling the world, the same can be deduced, the Confucian aspiration, but also must be gradual and gradually improved, if I do not worry about food and clothing, no worries, I should establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations." ”
