Chapter 009: Born in Sorrow, Died in Comfort
"Taste it, this is the best tea of the Bashu generation, the saint rewarded the old man, the stock is running out, and ordinary people will not take it out when they come here. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Gently pecking the tea in the cup, Kong Yingda closed his eyes with some enjoyment and said.
Warriors love wine, and literati love tea.
Kong Yingda's feelings for tea are not inferior to Wufu's feelings for wine, and tea is the first thing he loves in his life.
Qin Feng has his own unique views on tea culture, in his previous life, he has always cultivated his heart with tea, pursuing tranquility and indifference, although the tea of the Tang Dynasty is still somewhat primitive, but the fragrance is natural, but it cannot be concealed from the inside.
"Tea has ten virtues: to dissipate depression with tea, to drive sleep with tea, to nourish health with tea, to remove sickness with tea, to benefit from tea, to pay tribute to tea, to taste the taste of tea, to nourish the body with tea, to practice with tea, and to Yazhi with tea. Mr. Kong loves tea alone, and I am afraid that he has won the true taste of the ten virtues. Qin Feng also pecked a sip of tea and said with some emotion.
In the back hall of Hongwen Hall, Li Daozong, Kong Yingda, Qin Feng, Changle, and Li Xueyan sat and talked.
The fragrance is lingering, and the kung fu of tea, everyone doesn't say much, just quietly enjoy the physical and mental washing brought by the tea.
"Boy, I think you said it well yesterday, so come and look for Mr. Kong and ask him if it's feasible, since you're here, so much the better."
"What?" Kong Yingda was a little puzzled.
"This kid has a big heart! He wants to change his mind, and I want to hear what Mr. thinks. Boy, you came up with the idea, so it's up to you. Li Daozong's eyes narrowed, shining with a trace of inexplicable brilliance.
Qin Feng was a little funny, but he still said it seriously.
Kong Yingda listened to Qin Feng's words, and was also thinking carefully about the feasibility of this matter, but he knew that this was a great thing, and he was thinking about how this matter should be executed.
"Yunxiao, what do you think?" After thinking for a long time, Kong Yingda asked the initiator.
Qin Feng said: "It's about the future of the empire, the kid doesn't have the slightest right to speak, so don't waste such a big thing on a reckless man like the kid." ”
"If the reckless man in the world is like you, and can write such classic poems, the old man hopes that this reckless man will come more." Kong Yingda's words surprised Qin Feng, this first meeting, the image of the poor and rotten Confucian that was originally given to Kong Yingda in his heart was completely subverted.
This old man, who is concentrating on the Confucian classics, does not seem to be as stubborn as he imagined.
"Mr. said with a smile, the disciple is just a small grass, but he can't withstand the storm of the family." Qin Feng knows too well the truth of shooting a bird in the head, Qin Feng will not be stupid enough to offend the world's families.
"The family, the family! Lack of success, more than failure! Kong Yingda inherited the legacy of his ancestors and had the ambition to educate the people, so he did not have a good impression of the family that controlled the world's talents.
"Boy, say it! I know you're a big kid. Li Daozong spoke out at the right time.
"Yes! Those who educate people must first educate themselves, and those who establish themselves can establish people. Yunxiao's temperament proves that you have fully understood yourself, and you can let Luo Tong find a direction that suits you in a short period of time, and prove that you have extraordinary ideas, you can talk about your views, family affairs, and a teacher to bear for you. When he said that, Kong Yingda's eyes were also dyed with a hint of fanaticism.
Qin Feng smiled bitterly, now it seems that Kong Yingda is indeed not a poor and rotten Confucian, but a somewhat paranoid Confucian.
"Okay, since the teacher and Uncle Li have said so, I won't hide it with you, and you have to be hard to strike iron, and the kid thinks that the current system of Hongwenguan must be reformed."
"Reform? Why reform? ”
Kong Yingda was puzzled, and Li Daofa was also puzzled, and he never thought that there was anything wrong with Hongwenguan's teaching methods.
"The five classics taught by Hongwenguan, such as "Zhou Yi", "Shangshu", "Mao's Poems", "Zuo's Spring and Autumn", and "Book of Rites", as well as "Analects", "Filial Piety", and "Erya", also mentions, students seem to have learned the knowledge of the sages, but they have never really understood the true meaning of learning." Qin Feng is colorful.
"Hasn't it been like that throughout the ages? Be bold and speak your mind. ”
"I think that the knowledge transmitted by Hongbunkan is not necessarily all the classic words of the sages, but should be learned from all the people around you, because work is learning, eating is learning, business is learning, and even having fun is also a knowledge. If students only know how to quote the scriptures every day, and they only memorize a few sentences that make sense, if knowledge does not come from life, how can it resonate? ”
Qin Feng's voice was sonorous and powerful, he knew that Kong Yingda was not an overly pedantic person, if he could move him, he would not be able to make the education system of the Tang Dynasty get an unprecedented leap.
"Agriculture and industry are all inferior to others, and it seems that it is of no great use to let the students of Guozixue learn these subjects, right?" Although he is not a corrupt Confucian, but he only learns the ideas of the sages and classics, which is still deeply ingrained in Kong Yingda's thoughts, and it is not easy for him to admit Qin Feng's statement.
Kong Yingda's words reminded Qin Feng of an old saying, everything is inferior, only reading is high.
This sentence is not simply applicable to the Tang Dynasty, and even thousands of years later, in the era where Qin Feng lived, scholars were still superior in the eyes of many people.
In the eyes of the world, only reading, reading dead books, and reading more books is a matter of honoring the ancestors, but they forget the essence of learning and stifle the uniqueness of human beings.
"Mr. Kong has said this, if there is no farming, how can we have a full meal every day; If there is no work, who will manufacture the invincible armor and weapons of my Datang; If there is no business, how can the country be rich and strong, and the people will not be able to talk about food and clothing. ”
The art of language is to make others have nothing to say, but they can't refute what you say.
"How to reform, this is not a trivial matter, even if you have the support of the old man, you still need to ask the Holy Lord to make the final decision." Kong Yingda said with some hesitation, from the inside, he began to waver, from a Confucian who only learned the sages, to Qin Feng's camp of diversified learning and reform.
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll be there for you." Li Daozong's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said very confidently.
"Uncle Li, don't pretend, I know you're the saint. I'm a fool. Qin Feng glanced at "Li Daozong" with disdain.
"Huh? How did you guess? ”
"You said it yourself!" Qin Feng glanced at him triumphantly.
"You kid can do it!" As Qin Feng expected, the middle-aged man was not Li Daozong, but the current Supreme Li Shimin.
Stealing half a day of leisure, Li Shimin is self-controlled and self-disciplined as a wise monarch, living in the palace on weekdays, putting his mind on government affairs, and rarely having free time yesterday, so he called the guards to come out for a visit.
I don't want to meet Qin Feng's inscription poem.
Li Shimin loved calligraphy and poetry, and Qin Feng attracted his attention in calligraphy and poetry, so he had a door-to-door meeting.
I was going to ask him for his views on calligraphy.
Unexpectedly, the conversation was out of control, and if it wasn't late, I'm afraid it would have continued.
And today, I just wanted to ask Kong Yingda, a master in the academic world, for his opinion, but I didn't expect to meet Qin Feng.
Unexpectedly, Qin Feng actually cheated and revealed his true identity.
"Hmph, since I ascended the throne, you are still the first person who dares to call out 'Li Shimin' to your face, you kid has a kind, look at how I cure you of the crime of disrespect." Looking at Qin Feng's triumphant appearance, Li Shimin was very unhappy.
Qin Fenghun didn't care about their intimidation, and said nonchalantly: "The name was originally meant to be called, otherwise what would it be for?" ”
Li Shimin looked at Qin Feng with a smile and said: "Okay, as you said, the name is originally called by people, the King of Qin and the Emperor who have been called for so long, I almost forgot that I have another name, I also want to thank you for the reminder." ”
Qin Feng stood up and pretended to smile and said: "Thank you for the emperor's anger, the emperor is wise and martial, generous and benevolent, loved by the three armies, praised by all the people, comparable to Yao Shunyu soup, Wenwu Zhou Kong, Qin Feng's admiration for you is like a surging river, continuous, the Yellow River flooding out of control, just like Songshan, Mount Tai ......" shook his head and wanted to endorse, praising the Tang Emperor in front of him.
"Haha......"
"Giggle......
"Hehe......"
Looking at Qin Feng's marginal singing of virtues, Changle, Li Lingyan, and Kong Yingda couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop......" Three black lines appeared on Li Shimin's head, and he actually called five stops in one breath, "I may be happy when I hear these words from others, but when I say it from your mouth, I feel uncomfortable." Forget it, don't tell me about that, I'm really not used to it. I and Uncle Bao are the same generation, you should call me Uncle Li. ”
He pointed to the seat next to him and asked Qin Feng to sit down.
Qin Feng was free and easy by nature, and he was really not used to shouting from the emperor one by one, so he sat down next to Li Shimin and thanked him.
Li Shimin didn't have the emperor's stand, and waved his hand and said, "You kid can do it!" So many words in one breath. ”
"Hehe......" Qin Feng was happy.
"Spirit goose!" Li Shimin glanced at Qin Feng and blinked weirdly.
"Something is wrong!" Qin Feng knew that Li Shimin was ready to find a place here.
As expected, I only heard Li Shimin say: "Lingyan, this kid is not a good person, you have to be careful, he has been thinking about you yesterday." ”
Li Lingyan made a big red face and said, "He is a bad person." Having said that, he thought of Qin Feng's fearless look when he took the blame for himself.
Qin Feng smiled evilly, leaned in front of Li Shimin, and said, "Uncle Li, Princess Changle is also very good!" ”
"You, you ......" Facing Qin Feng's words, Li Shimin's face stiffened, his sword eyebrows rose upside down in anger, and the corners of his mouth and beard shook up and down.
What is unbearable!
Li Shimin, who has excellent self-cultivation, made him so angry that he couldn't speak, pointing at him, he didn't know what to scold, and after a long time, he exhaled and said: "Forget it, I don't care about villains, I don't care about you...... It's not worth it to make you sick with your stinky boy. ”
Qin Feng's face was inexplicable, his eyes widened innocently, I ...... TMD, this is recruiting who to provoke!
Didn't you just praise your daughter?
Seeing Qin Fengyou's innocent face, Li Shimin was even more angry, and wanted to bombard him out, but after thinking about it, wouldn't it be too cheap for him? After settling down, he smiled and said: "You stinky boy, you kid must still have an opinion on the matter of reform, I order you to say it now, otherwise I will reward people with thirty boards." ”
He originally wanted to embarrass Qin Feng and kill his arrogance.
Unexpectedly, Qin Feng was just stunned, and then winked ambiguously at Changle, who was red-faced, and said, "It's so simple? Uncle Li, you underestimate your future intelligence or something. ”
"You ...... "Okay, I actually teased my daughter in front of Lao Tzu." Li Shimin almost burst into foul language.
Kong Yingda has nothing to do with herself, and hangs high. There is a pampered and unfazed appearance of a master, but in his heart he is very proud, in the morning he ate Qin Feng half to death, and now he sees the first person in the world is also angry like this, as a bystander to watch it is also quite enjoyable.
Qin Feng's courage, everyone finally saw it.
"Hehe, Sister Changle......" Tian shamelessly called Qin Feng.
"Who's your sister?" Princess Changle stomped on her lotus feet, and her crystal clear face was full of beautiful colors.
"Sister Changle, your father is my uncle, aren't you a sister or what?"
Seeing that Li Shimin was about to get angry again, Qin Feng put away the appearance of a hippie smile, and said with a straight face: "Report Uncle Li, teacher, two sisters, I like the academic atmosphere of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period the most." ”
When Kong Yingda heard this, his old face suddenly turned red, and he opened his mouth to squirt out half of the tea he had drunk, coughed for a long time before wiping his beard covered with water droplets, and said with a wry smile: "Yunxiao, can you not speak like this, otherwise the old man will suffer!" ”
Qin Feng waved his hand indifferently, his personality has always been free and easy, and the rules were pure nonsense to him, so he just smiled and said: "To get back to the point, let me ask you, is the current academic atmosphere good?" ”
"Not bad!" Kong Yingda couldn't keep up with Qin Feng's whimsical rhythm
Qin Feng sneered: "The disciple thinks that the academic in front of him is a mess, teacher, hello is a master in the academic world, in your life, have you seen the birth of a new kind of academic?" ”
Kong Yingda didn't have time to think about it: "No! ”
"Yes! That's why the disciple said that he liked the academic atmosphere of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period the most. ”
"You mean?" Li Shimin was thoughtful, and seemed to have grasped some point, but he couldn't say it.
"The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was a glorious period for the Chinese nation, during which Confucianism, soldiers, legalists, peasants, Mohists, Taoists, miscellaneous families, vertical and horizontal families, and Yin and Yang families appeared...... It can be said that a hundred schools of thought contended, and for nearly a thousand years, the academic circles of the Chinese nation have been learning from the achievements of their predecessors. Since the Han Dynasty, there has not been much progress in the academic world, Uncle Li, teacher, do you know what the reason is? ”
After drinking half a cup of tea in one gulp, Qin Feng continued: "The reason why the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period became the heyday of civilization is not only the outstanding posture of the sages, but also the merits of the monarchs of various countries, because they have adopted a laissez-faire development posture for academics. It's just that since the Qin Dynasty, not only has the scholarship not advanced, but even the phenomenon of regression, the development of the present, many people mistakenly think that as long as they are familiar with the words left by the sages, they are saints, and they do not have the heart to understand the ideas contained in every word in the writings of the sages, and they only gain their form and lose their spirit throughout their lives, which is the sorrow of an era and the sorrow of Chinese civilization. ”
"It is indeed a sorrow to gain its form and lose its spirit!" Kong Yingda is a master in the academic world, and his words have the most right to speak.
Li Shimin also had a deep meaning.
"Dong Zhongshu, who proposed to 'depose a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone', and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who implemented this national policy, were sinners of Chinese civilization, and the Mohists who won the hearts of the people were branded as demons, on the surface Confucianism has gained the upper hand, but in fact, Confucianism, which has lost its strong competitors, has no motivation to move forward, there is no pressure without competition, and there is no motivation to move forward without pressure, and the current situation has been formed over time. What I mean is obvious, academics should not be controlled by the government, but should be given appropriate freedom, so that all academics can move forward in competition, only in this way, ideology and civilization will not regress, as for the court, it is completely integrated into its own use, with Confucianism to govern the heart, Legalism to govern the form, soldiers to govern the army, doctors to govern people, Mojia sharp weapons, farmers to cure hunger, merchants to enrich the country, vertical and horizontal families to lobby a hundred countries, Yin and Yang subjective celestial phenomena and changes in the wind and clouds, so that the hundred schools of thought have their own strengths and perform their duties, let the hundred schools of thought advance in the competition, in the competition for the country and the people. Once the academic atmosphere is allowed to rise again, the two will be the heroes of the progress of the Chinese nation."
"Sir, you are a representative of Confucianism, what do you think of what Yunxiao said?"
Li Er's personality is not pedantic, and even he has a trace of Xianbei blood in his bones, and he also has an absolutely crazy factor, if he can leave more words in the history books according to Qin Feng's reform, he will definitely not oppose it, and even vigorously support Qin Feng's reform.
Kong Yingda sighed and said: "Your Majesty, Yun Xiao is right, the current Confucianism has reached the period of fierce medicine. Alas! Why didn't Confucianism borrow from other doctrines? Confucianism has become the dominant ideology, and without adversity, it will naturally not move forward. Other doctrines are not angry, all the time perfect, all the time to explore, compared to other doctrines, Confucianism is like a pool of stagnant water, such a situation, presumably is not the wish of the holy teacher, Confucianism has ruled the thought for hundreds of years, for other doctrines is an unfairness, but also an insult to Confucianism itself, because Confucianism does not rely on itself to defeat the hundred schools, but rely on imperial power to profit. Your Majesty, the old minister, please send a holy decree to change the style of study in the academic world, 'born in sorrow, die in comfort' is still Yasheng right! ”
