The two great sages of Confucianism, one is Confucius, who advocates benevolence; The second is Mencius, who advocates righteousness. Therefore, the central idea of Confucianism is benevolence and righteousness.

Benevolence, righteousness and morality, poetry, books, etiquette and music.

It can be said that Confucian Confucianism is a gentleman in the eyes of the world. All of them are gentle and elegant, and the connotation is profound.

There are hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin Dynasty, each of which has its own characteristics and is easy to distinguish.

But with the demise of a dynasty and the rise of a new dynasty, the hundred schools of thought will also change, and the once pure culture will gradually disappear and become full of interests.

At the end of the day, it's all about legacy.

During the pre-Qin period, Confucianism was disliked by the First Emperor, so many Confucian students were killed, and even many Confucian classics were burned. The "Analects" and the like that were circulated in later generations were all compiled and collected by Confucian descendants.

Because of the indelible pain experienced, Confucianism has changed, and it has become a desire to have power, hoping to obtain the merit of supporting the king, and will not be tolerated by the rulers as in the pre-Qin period.

Gaozu Liu Bang competed in the world, and Confucianism was one of the helpers, but Confucianism helped Gaozu very little on the battlefield. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Gaozu believed in Taoism, so the later rule would be so gentle, ruling by inaction, cultivating and recuperating, and continuing until the Jingdi period.

But after the Taoists helped Gaozu pacify the world, he disappeared. Therefore, the influence of Confucianism still exists, but it has diminished with the changes of time, and every emperor does not necessarily respect Confucian culture. Especially during the Jingdi period, Emperor Jing longed for the Taoist Huang Lao's technique and hoped for immortality, so Confucianism was chosen to be forgotten.

But Confucianism also had a move, that is, to influence the next emperor, that is, the crown prince Liu Rong. It's a pity that Liu Ronggui is the crown prince, but he doesn't have the emperor's order, because of the woman, he was abolished, and Liu Che came later.

Therefore, Confucianism is destined to be miserable, a wrong choice, so that Confucianism will be directly thrown into the cold palace.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty admired the way of loyalty to the monarch in Confucianism, and promoted Confucian governance internally, and Anbang with soldiers externally. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not have a large amount of weapons, and he was still obsessed with Confucianism, so Confucianism would be in his own hands.

Only in this way will one's rule be secure.

Therefore, it takes time, boiling frogs in warm water, slowly eating away at the power of Confucianism, and taking it for its own use. For this reason, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty laid down many follow-ups.

First mock the hundred schools of thought with Confucianism, so that the power of Confucianism will be hit, so that the mess can be cleaned up. He only needed Confucianism, not a group of people loyal to Confucianism.

As a subordinate of the people, he could only be loyal to Emperor Wu of Han himself in the end.

Time flies, and it is the third year of Yuanguang in a flash.

This year, Chu Tianshu did not fully master the fourth exercise, and if he wanted to convert the true qi of the Mo family into Confucian literary qi, he needed a lot of knowledge, but Chu Tianshu did not have this knowledge.

Now only a tenth of it can be converted, and this is the result of painstaking meditation. And in order to allow himself to complete the cultivation of this heavy exercise, Chu Tianshu began to practice calligraphy every day, hoping to help himself.

Winter goes to spring, spring goes to summer solstice.

In summer, it is a rainy season. In the summer of that year, the Yellow River burst. As a result, floods occurred on both sides of the Yellow River.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent 100,000 soldiers to the rescue, preparing to solve this problem, but unfortunately there was no result, but instead took the lives of many soldiers.

And in this year, there were natural disasters or unexplained strange phenomena everywhere in the territory of the Han Dynasty. It suddenly made countless ordinary people panic.

So Dong Zhongshu felt that this was an opportunity for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to really attach importance to Confucianism.

So he wrote hard and began to write about the opinions of 'heaven and man induction, monarchical power and divine grant', so as to propagate Confucianism, so that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty should attach importance to Confucianism and implement benevolent government, and not be as heavy as Qin Shi Huang, otherwise God sensed it, which was very unfavorable to the rule of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Because there are a lot of things that need to be written, and they have to stand up to scrutiny, Dong Zhongshu closed his door and stayed in the Taixue Holy Mansion all the time.

But even so, the weak princes and hundreds of schools still continue to suppress, or annex and exterminate.

Dong Zhongshu's performance made many people notice, so people continued to go deep into the Taixue Holy Mansion and wanted to explore one or two.

It's a pity that although the Taixue Holy Mansion is a group of Confucian students, the combat effectiveness of Confucian students is not weak, especially as long as the more knowledge, the stronger the state of gain, and they are not powerless scholars.

Those who explored the truth all disappeared into the Taixue Holy Mansion.

Gradually, the more curious people became. Therefore, Dong Zhongshu couldn't calm down and write his masterpiece.

The writing was written intermittently, and it was finally completed by the end of the year.

Just when Dong Zhongshu was about to check it out to see if there were any changes and additions, an uninvited guest came uninvited.

The person who came was the master's father, Dong Zhongshu understood that this person is now a middle doctor, although his official position is not as good as the third duke, but his status is also among the nine kings.

The master father Yan was very much used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, especially the idea of great unification advocated by him, and later put forward the harm of the kingdom division, so that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued a decree of tui'en, so that in recent years, the power of the kingdom has become smaller and smaller, and even caused civil strife among the children of the kingdom, so after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pacified the civil strife, the land that was divided was nationalized.

It's a pity that the master father Yan doesn't like Confucian people very much, Dong Zhongshu understands this, and the two have nothing to do with each other on weekdays.

Especially the main father Yan is still the Korean and Chinese talker of the Zongheng family.

The Zongheng family is very expert in arranging troops, so it is also reused by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and all of them are clever people who are very good at arguing.

Although he has no good impression of the master's father, he still has to take the initiative to receive him, and the person who comes is a guest, and Confucianism cannot weaken the etiquette.

In the living room, the master father drank tea and waited quietly. The main father is an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, although his hair is still black overall, but his temples are white.

It didn't take long for Dong Zhongshu to arrive.

"I wonder what happened when Your Excellency arrived?" Dong Zhongshu asked suspiciously, his tone was not flat.

The master father put down the teacup and said with a slight smile:

"Huh! Taixue Holy Mansion, it's the first time to come in and see, such a huge building, Yan is very envious! After speaking, the master father stood up and looked at the four big words 'uprightness' hanging on the beam of the living room.

Hearing this, Dong Zhongshu was very puzzled, and couldn't help frowning.

He felt that the arrival of the master father must have a purpose, otherwise he would not have come to see it now. It has been four years since the establishment of the Taixue Holy Mansion. And it is located next to Chang'an City, and if you usually want to come and see it, Dong Zhongshu will not stop it.

But people who have never come in the past four years have come, except for ulterior motives, Dong Zhongshu really can't think of any other reason.

Seeing Dong Zhongshu's displeased look, the master father suddenly smiled and said:

"Haha! Don't you welcome me? Then I'm leaving! No need to send it! With that, he left the living room.

Only the stunned Dong Zhongshu was left.

"It's strange, why do you have a bad feeling in your heart!" As soon as he said this, Dong Zhongshu's face changed.

"Not good! Disease! After speaking, his feet were like a living wind, and he turned into an afterimage and ran to his residence.

When I returned to my residence, I saw that the documents that had been placed on the case were gone.

"It must be you, Master Father!" Dong Zhongshu gritted his teeth and said.

On the other side, a black-clothed masked man appeared in front of the master's father, a very strange person, as if he had suddenly appeared.

"Your Excellency, your subordinates have done it!" After the masked man said respectfully, he sent a roll of bamboo slips.

This is the document written by Dong Zhongshu of 'Heaven and Man Induction, Divine Authority of the Monarch'.

After taking the bamboo slips, the master father Yan was very satisfied.

"Dong Zhongshu, although we have no grievances! But once you Confucians humiliated me and looked down on me! Now is the time for my lord's father to take revenge! Ha ha! With that, the master departed.

The black-clothed masked man disappeared into thin air in an instant, as if he was invisible.
