Lu Chengqi also knew that when these words came out, especially from the mouth of an emperor, the effect was comparable to a nine-magnitude earthquake. It is hard for Lu Chengqi to imagine www.biquge.info truth he realized through reading through the Confucian classics whether it can be accepted by the people of Dashun, who have imprisoned their thoughts. Lu Chengqi also knew that even if they were scholars, the Confucianism they learned was not real Confucianism, but a distorted Confucianism.

In ancient times, although since the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has occupied the position of orthodoxy and respected Confucianism. But at this time, Confucianism had been changed to cater to the needs of the rulers. The Three Principles and Five Constants are the best examples.

But the Confucianism and Taoism that were really spoken by Confucius are very different from them. Confucius said benevolence, Mencius said righteousness, the way of benevolence and righteousness, the way is Confucianism. Whether it is Dong Zhongshu in the Han Dynasty or those Confucianism schools today, they all distort their understanding into real Confucianism and Taoism, but they don't know that there is a difference of 108,000 miles away from the real Confucianism and Taoism!

Confucius once said, say but not do, believe and be ancient. The meaning of this sentence is often misunderstood by later generations. In fact, Confucius is saying that what he recounts is the natural laws of heaven and earth that he observed, not the doctrines and ideas he created. As for believing in the ancients, it means that Confucius firmly believed in and loved the teachings handed down by ancient sages who were even older than him.

Therefore, China's thousand-year-old wisdom, whether it is Confucianism, Taoism, soldiers, Legalism, and Moism, has paid attention to acting according to the situation. In this way, the saints who founded such doctrines realized the truth of nature through their own observations, rather than created them themselves. Even if you respect Confucianism alone and impose your own views on Confucianism, this is not propagating the doctrine of the sages, but distorting it.

The theme of Lu Chengqi's speech actually implies such a viewpoint. Scholars, merchants, farmers, craftsmen, fishermen, woodcutters, etc., all evolved naturally from social development. There is no distinction between high and low, it is just a matter of going with nature. Any elevation of a class, degrading of a class, leads to unimaginable consequences. In the history of Zhengpai, China's 5,000 years have confirmed this truth. The excessive suppression of merchants led to slow social development, and even stagnation for a period of time, and some regression, so that Chinese civilization was almost interrupted for a time.

The truths of the ancient sages are all the truths of life in the universe, if you can't understand them, you can only understand them with half a claw, even if you memorize all the so-called Confucian classics, it will be useless. If you realize it, but you don't do it yourself, and you don't spread it widely, this is also not commendable. And to realize the true meaning of it, even a single sentence of the Analects cannot be said, but the truth is already clear, and it is the same regardless of the language.

Lu Chengqi's words were almost said in the vernacular, which is also because Lu Chengqi received too much education from later generations, and the impact on himself was too great, so that it was difficult to change it for a while. It's just such a vernacular text, and the people who can hear it clearly, whether it is the common people, the talents, or the officials, are all in deep thought. This is different from the past, in the past, as soon as Lu Chengqi finished speaking, the people immediately shouted long live. Lu Chengqi didn't know what the impact of these words on Dashun was, but he was stuck in his throat, and he didn't vomit or feel unhappy. These words are all things that Lu Chengqi has wanted to say for a long time, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity. Now taking advantage of the galloping road to cut the ribbon, even if the world can't tolerate such a point of view, Lu Chengqi still has to say it, even if it is against the entire era, Lu Chengqi is fearless.

In the middle of the platform, the newspaper collectors who came to watch the ceremony were also very knowledgeable people, and they were also in deep thought at the moment. Their thoughts, but there is no saint to guide the way, today with Lu Chengqi's words and enlightenment, many people began to think about their understanding of Confucianism, right or wrong. So much so that Lu Chengqi got off the platform, and they didn't notice it.

In the crowd, there was a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, which had been staring at Lu Chengqi's movements. However, the distance is too far, and there are thousands of forbidden troops, blocked by the imperial guards, and it is a little difficult for ordinary people to connect to the platform.

After a long time, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Enlightenment, enlightenment!" Respect the will of heaven, the sky, the earth, and the people! Sincerity, righteousness, objectivity, knowledge, reason, self-cultivation, family, governing the country and leveling the world! Enlightened, haha......"

Lu Chengqi vaguely heard that these four words were like bosom friends, hitting his heart. Yes, Lu Chengqi is not a saint, he reads Confucianism, but to find experience in governing the country, and reading other princes and hundreds of schools of thought is also the same purpose. Such a high mind and such a grand ideal, but Lu Chengqi is working hard to do it, but he does not have good words to speak for himself. Now that he heard this, Lu Chengqi's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Who is this sage, come out quickly and let me see it!" ”

In ancient times, the full name of the sage should be the Holy Sage. God does not refer to an ethereal god, but refers to a person's state of thought, to the realm of reaching the gods, and the holy refers to the person's understanding and conveying the ancient sage doctrine.

At this time, there was already a spy hidden in the crowd, pushed the person who spoke out of the crowd, and said to Lu Chengqi: "Your Majesty, this person is making a loud noise. ”

Lu Chengqi frowned and said, "This is a sage, I have to respect him, you apologize quickly!" ”

The detective was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed down and apologized to this man who was not tall and a little fat, and said that he had bumpered with the sage and hoped for forgiveness.

The man seemed to be immersed in his own perception and ignored it. Lu Chengqi took advantage of this opportunity to look at the person in front of him. If I am not mistaken, the few words just now are very famous in the classics of later generations, and Gewu Zhizhi is often mentioned by students in the Ming Dynasty. As for who said it, Lu Chengqi didn't pay attention to it.

I saw that this person was wearing a Confucian robe, and he didn't look like he was famous. A pinch of goatee, white and chubby, and the image of Confucius is a little different! Lu Chengqi thought like this, "This person has such talent, why don't you see the sergeant of the imperial examination?" ”

Seeing that this person seemed to have entered the realm of epiphany that ordinary people could not hope for, Lu Chengqi didn't bother him, but just thought hard about who this person was.

At this moment, a young man in the crowd came back from his contemplation and asked the tall woman next to him, "Sister, who is the person in front of Your Majesty?" ”

The woman suddenly stepped on him, and said hatefully: "You silence me, you just came out of Dali Temple not long ago, and you want to go back again?" ”

The young man said, "I'm just ......."

"But what? You're just too jumpy, how did your father teach you when he was alive, how to be a man......"

The young man sighed and answered, "To be a down-to-earth man, read more, talk less and do more, right, sister?" ”

The woman snorted and said, "It's good that you know, why can't you do anything?" (To be continued.) )
