Chapter 16 Ziwei (II)

Under the whale oil ice green lamp, the figure of the old list is particularly dazzling.

Lu Peng is unwilling to make things happen because of his son-in-law, so why is he willing to be named because of his granddaughter. Before the twilight, I always hope that I can do something and leave some traces. Let future generations mention the three words Lu Zeng, not the "two ministers who betray the master", nor the former dynasty who is invincible on paper and is at a loss as soon as he enters the battlefield.

As the old saying goes, there are three stands. There is virtue on the Tai, followed by meritorious service, followed by speech, although it has not been abandoned for a long time, this is called three immortals. Lide, Lu Lu once knew that he didn't have to think about it. Confucianism pays attention to "loyalty", and he first 'took prisoners with his body and could not introspect himself', and then 'surrendered in fear of death', no matter how he smeared it, he was not tall.

Meritorious service, for the Lu family, is not necessarily a good thing. At present, whether the Lu family is in the court or in the army, the power is huge enough. It's so big that the foundation can't support it, and if you try to get more, it's easy to get the opposite.

So the only choice is to stand up. It's not an easy task, but it's best to start working right now.

This move not only did not threaten Zhu Chongjiu's growing imperial authority, but also allowed the descendants of the Lu family to enjoy the legacy forever. And at present, when Zhu Chongjiu's "Declaration of Equality" is attacked by Confucian scholars, it is also the easiest to shine.

Lu Lu, who has been immersed in the Four Books and Five Classics all his life, once knew that Confucianism was the most powerful learning, but also the weakest learning. It is said that it is powerful because among the hundreds of sons, he is the only one who has been inherited for more than 1,800 years and is still immortal, and every few hundred years, a great sage comes out to push it up and take a big step forward.

It is said to be weak because in history, the handle of the knife has never been in the hands of Confucianism. They have to rely on the knife wielder to show what they have learned. From the former Qin Wang Meng to Meng Yuan's Xu Heng, this is the case, although according to the most violent view of Huaiyang at the moment, the king, Xu Zhi and others should be on the same list as Qin Hui. But as a Confucian celebrity, Lu Luzeng understood the choice of Wang and Xu very well at that time.

They don't have the ability or the courage to collide with the higher-ups. Whether it was for personal glory and wealth, or for the entire Confucian and Taoist system, they did not dare to collide. Although it is clearly written in "Mencius", "Although tens of millions of people have gone to me! "But no one can afford to collide with the consequences.

Burning books and pit Confucianism, there are only four words in the history books. For the entire Confucianism, it is a nightmare that can never be shaken off. Therefore, whenever there is a change of dynasty, or even a foreign race, Confucianism chooses to be a martyr for the country. In the end, there will definitely be a group of people who will stand up and take the initiative to accept the food thrown by the new imperial court, even if they scolded the other party a few years ago for being a "barbarian who is full of blood".

It's not that they are shameless, it's that they have to survive and they have to continue. Only by compromising with those who hold the sword can we join the WTO. Only by making changes as the sword wielders ask them will they be able to pass on the Sacred Teachings and find an opportunity to carry them forward again.

Now, it's time for Confucianism to make choices and make changes. Lu Lu once admired those who were really ready to be martyred, but at the same time, he was also convinced that as long as Zhu Chongjiu could dominate the world, the result of this collision would inevitably be Rulin's own choice to submit. And after succumbing, Confucianism, in a short period of time, will be extremely weak. Therefore, it is better to take the initiative to change and adapt from now on.

"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!" , Zhang Hengqu's words are eloquent, but Zhang Hengqu has no chance to achieve his goal throughout his life. Now, this opportunity is within reach of the Lu family, let me ask, why don't the father and son of the Lu family firmly grasp it?

After the chaos, it was the great governance. Judging from the fact that Huaiyang Xusu is becoming more and more prosperous at present, if Zhu Chongjiu wins the world in the future, he dare not say that he will definitely be able to establish a peaceful and prosperous era, at least during his reign, the people's livelihood will not be much worse than the rule of Zhenguan. The way of equality itself already focuses on the people, so the Neo-Confucianism, with equality as the cornerstone, can naturally establish a life for the people. As for the mastery of establishing a heart for heaven and earth and carrying on the saints, there is a lot more emphasis here. The saints and sub-saints, although emphasizing propriety, pay more attention to benevolence. Recognize that "everyone can be Yao Shun". After Xun Sheng and Dong Sheng, Li gradually jumped above benevolence.

Lao Bangyan is rich and rich, so when he wants to deduce any conclusion from the words of the ancient sages, he can easily find a support point from the accumulation of knowledge in the past. Lao Bangyan is also well versed in power struggles and academic struggles, so when he wants to achieve a certain goal, he must plan accurately and clearly.

That night, the father and son talked about the rooster crowing before dragging their tired bodies to sleep. Both father and son have a hunch that this matter needs to be absolutely well prepared, and what they are about to do openly or secretly is likely to cause an unprecedented storm in Rulin. But when the storm really came, the father and son suddenly realized that they were not just a storm? It's clear that the sky is falling apart.

The wind of stepping on the stone starts at the end of Ping.

Shortly after the Huaiyang Governor's Office announced the establishment of a stargazing platform in the Purple Mountain, a short article entitled "Original Rites" was suddenly published in the most inconspicuous corner of the sixth edition of the influential "Spring and Autumn Justice" in the Confucian forest. The total is only seven or eight hundred words, and in the opening chapter, Zhu Zi's famous words are also quoted in a large paragraph, "Covering the people from heaven is neither the benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom of public opinion." However, the temperament of its temperament may not be complete, and it is impossible to know all of its nature. As soon as there is a wise and wise person who does his best in the meantime, then the heavens will be destined to be the ruler of billions of trillions. Let it be cured and taught, so that it can be restored. This Fuxi, Shennong, Yellow Emperor, Yao, and Shun, so they follow the heavens, and the position of Situ and the official of Dianle are also set up."

At first glance, this is undoubtedly another sharp arrow aimed at Zhu Tuhu and his "Declaration of Equality", however, in the second half of this article, it quietly turns a small corner, from the "Preface to the University Chapters and Sentences" to the "Moderate Chapters". Similarly, he quoted Zhu Zi's original words in a large paragraph, "A gentleman must be the same because of his similarity, and he should be the same thing, and if he and I divide the original, then the upper and lower four sides are all square, and the world is equal."

These two paragraphs seem to be incompatible, but then, the article begins to question: Why do Zhu Zi's second half of the words seem to contradict each other? As mentioned above, it is clear that there are great differences between people, so they must perform their duties and follow their own order. Later, why do you want to be square in all directions?

Could it be that Zhu Zi has long believed that in addition to order, there is still equality between people? What is the relationship between order and equality?

If the two cannot be in the same furnace with each other, why did the saint himself say, "Forgiveness!" Do unto others as you would have them do to you. Yasheng also said loudly, "Everyone can be Shunyao? ”

At the end of the article, the writer tentatively asks questions. The benevolent, the Tao also. The gift of the husband is to make the road possible. If the avenue is not good, then abandon the salute and seek the way, but what?!
