Chapter 9 Wenzong and Taixue

"Your Majesty, the old minister really can't teach His Royal Highness the Prince, please allow the old minister to resign from the post of the crown prince."

Wei Juan is an old minister of the Wen Dynasty, who has always been quiet and honest, and is a practitioner of inaction politics. A few years ago, Emperor Jing gave him a dismissal and returned home in order to prevent him from being a relative of the Li family.

Now that Liu Che's crown prince has been stabilized, Wei Juan has been edicted as the crown prince and concubine. Unexpectedly, less than half a month after he took office, he had to resign.

Emperor Jing frowned and asked, "But Che'er Wu is blunt?" ”

"No, Your Highness is gifted and intelligent, rare in the world!" Wei Juan admired from the bottom of his heart.

"Oh? That must be Che'er stubborn and disobedient? Emperor Jing felt that the little kid really didn't clean up.

"No, Your Highness respects the teacher and respects the teacher, and the etiquette is thorough!"

"Then why doesn't Aiqing refuse to teach Che'er?!" Emperor Jing couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and his tone couldn't help but increase a little. Since my son is smart and sensible, then you still quit your job! It's obvious that he looks down on Lao Tzu!

"Your Majesty Mingjian, it's not that the old minister doesn't want to teach, it's that he can't teach!" The honest man Wei Juan saw that the emperor had misunderstood, and he was also anxious, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is well-informed and wise, and he can be the old minister's husband, but the old minister still has the intention of apprenticeship!" ”

"Ahem......" When Emperor Jing heard this, he was almost choked to death by his own saliva, and finally got over it and scolded: "What a Wei Juan, they all say that you are generous, and you actually came up with such a reason to deceive me!" Che'er is less than eight years old, how can he be well-read and wise?! ”

Seeing that the emperor was not good, Wei Juan hurriedly took out two rolls of bamboo slips and handed one to Emperor Jing: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can take a look at this article first." ”

Emperor Jing had a gloomy face, took the bamboo slip, opened it and read it in a low voice: "At the beginning of people, the surname is benshan, the surname is similar, and the surname is far away......"

Due to the bulky bamboo slips, there were only about 100 words on this bamboo slip, and Emperor Jing quickly finished reading them. But it was a hundred words that fascinated him, and he silently read it a few more times, and the more he read, the more he felt that it was flavorful, and the simple words contained great wisdom.

After a long time, Emperor Jing suddenly shouted: "Strange text through the ages!" Aiqing is so talented, being a mere prince is really wronged by you! I haven't finished writing this strange article, Aiqing really shouldn't be distracted by mundane affairs, she should concentrate on writing! ”

“…… Your Majesty misunderstood, this article has been completed, but it is not written by Wei Chen. Wei Juan was so anxious that he stammered a little, if this word spread, how many people would say that he was a person who deceived the world and stole his name, and quickly explained: "This is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did in his spare time." ”

Syllable! The bamboo slip in Emperor Jing's hand fell to the ground, and his face was full of incredulity: "You...... Who did you say? ”

Wei Juan looked at Emperor Jing, his eyes were full of certainty and affirmation, and he said word by word: "This is made by His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"If Your Majesty still doesn't believe me, look at this volume again." Wei Juan's dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and handed over another roll of bamboo slips.

Call! Emperor Jing took the bamboo slip a little nervously, opened it and looked at it, almost fainting, "Lao Tzu Note"! (Lao Tzu is the Tao Te Ching, which was called in the Han Dynasty.) )

Calming down, Emperor Jing quickly finished reading the first volume of "Lao Tzu's Note".

"Reign with the king! Rule the crowd with outnumbered! Hold on to all the people! Good! Good! Good! "Emperor Jing praised three times in a row, compared with the previous volume of bamboo slips, this volume of "Lao Tzu Note" is a priceless treasure.

The rulers of the early Han Dynasty have always been admirers of Huang Lao's technique, which is the highest concept of governance. But at this time, Huang Laozhi's research was still very shallow, and he only had some superficial skin. This volume of "Notes on Lao Tzu" inherits and transforms Lao Tzu's dialectical thought, is more inclined to methodology, and points out the specific direction and practice of governing the country with this.

"Wonderful!" Emperor Jing stared at Wei Juan with his eyes, as if he was going to devour him alive, and roared in a low voice: "Where is the rest?" ”

“…… At...... In the Prince ...... In the palace! Wei Wan was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and he changed several breaths before finishing his words.

Before the words fell, I saw Emperor Jing rushing out of the imperial study by himself, leaving only Wei Juan's back to go away quickly.

Wei Juan breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he react, and hurriedly chased after him. Fortunately, he is an old minister, he can't run fast, and the emperor's personal guards all know him, otherwise he would be beaten up even if he didn't get hacked to death.

Liu Che was picked up from the bed by the emperor's father, and due to the instinctive reaction he had trained over the years, coupled with a little bit of getting up, he smashed his fist in the face with a hard punch.

Although Liu Che was only seven years old, he resumed training at the age of three, and also re-practiced the ancestral internal skills of his previous life. Because he has been practicing since he was a child and has many years of experience, the effect is much better than in his previous life, as evidenced by Emperor Jing, who is full of peach blossoms.

Looking at Emperor Jing who was squatting on the ground with his face covered, the whole room was stunned, and there was a deathly silence.

"Wow!" Liu Che, who was the first to react, fell to his knees, his upper body lay on the ground, and cried, "Father! The sons are guilty! ……”

After crying for a long time, his throat was a little hoarse, but he found that no one had paid attention to him, so he secretly glanced up, but it happened to be in contact with Emperor Jing's angry gaze.

Seeing that the "Father's ......" was broken, he was embarrassed to pretend again, so he had to straighten up and kneel honestly.

"Why don't you cry?!" Emperor Jing said viciously, his voice was a little strange, obviously his nose was not lightly injured, and then he waved his hand and ordered: "Someone!" Tie up this rebel! Send it to the Queen! If anyone spreads the word about today's matter, they will punish the nine clans! ”

After Emperor Jing finished speaking, he turned around to leave, but he remembered something and ordered: "Wei Juan!" Bring the items I want to Weiyang Palace! You wrote all this stuff, you know?! ”

Wei Juan's face changed, and he wanted to say something, but finally nodded helplessly, indicating that he understood what the emperor meant.

The emperor didn't want the prince's talents to be known by those who cared about it, so he could only deduct the basin that created these two ancient strange essays on his own head, the prince and the prince. I picked up this big bargain for nothing, and it was too late to be happy. But for an old pedant like Wei Juan, it really made him ashamed.

At the court meeting the next day, the emperor was absent on the grounds that he occasionally felt a cold and needed to recuperate for a few days. The courtiers didn't have any ideas, and no one had a minor illness or a small disaster. Besides, there are so many concubines in the palace, it is really hard to be an emperor, and it is understandable that he is occasionally absent from work for a few days.

Well, the emperor didn't have a minor illness, but there were minor disasters. The emperor with a blue nose and swollen face was lying in the queen's Jiaofang hall, thinking about how to turn his small disaster into a big disaster for the crown prince.

"Your Majesty, Che'er has been kneeling for a night." The queen shook his arm and said coquettishly.

"Humph!" The emperor snorted coldly and turned over, leaving only the queen lying beside him with the back of her head.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother sent someone to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Changle Palace to greet him." At this moment, the sound of the waiter outside the door came from the door.

The emperor sat up, thought about it, sighed helplessly, and said, "Let the prince bathe and change clothes before going, don't let the queen mother look awkward." ”

The chamberlain took the order and left.

The emperor looked helplessly at the smug smile on the queen's face, and suddenly became angry, shouting, "I will punish you on behalf of the sun!" "I pounced on it like a hungry tiger.

"Your Majesty, it's dawn now."

"Oh, what a demon, watch me fight with you for three hundred rounds!"

"Your Majesty...... Don't ......"

"Your Majesty...... I'm going to ...... more."

Here save 108,000 miles of clouds and moons!!

Liu Che stood on the edge of the Taiye Pool, looked at the sparkling lake, and took a deep breath.

I took the risk, maybe I was too anxious, maybe I wanted to do more for this great nation in my lifetime, so I took a risky move. Thankfully, events have been going in the best direction of their plans.

"Three Character Classic" and "Lao Tzu's Note" are both bait deliberately thrown out by Liu Che. The revised "Three Character Classic" is the classic that has the least conflict with Huang Laozhixue, and the "Notes on Lao Tzu" is the work that most attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the ruling class of the Han Dynasty. With these two masterpieces as the foundation, the impostor author Wei Juan has become the top Wenzong of contemporary times.

It's not a writer, it's a Wenzong, a real generation of grandmasters!

Liu Che shocked Emperor Han Jing and Wei Juan through this amazing and brilliant performance. And the old and virtuous Wei Juan, under Liu Che's hint, persuaded the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, who had a strong influence in the court.

All of this is for Liu Che's most important goal - Taixue!

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Huang Laozhi's learning was prevalent, but there was only private teaching, and there was no school to teach academics.

In history, it was not until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the Confucianism of the Hundred Schools that he adopted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion, and Chang'an established Taixue. Taixue is the first institution of higher learning in Chinese history. The significance of the emergence of Taixue far surpasses the four major inventions, and it is the greatest historical achievement of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Later generations often praise Emperor Wu's eloquence and strategy, but they do not mention Taixue, which is really ridiculous and pitiful.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was "slightly sparse in literary style", contributed countless "romantic figures" to the future of the Chinese nation through the establishment of Taixue!

According to the trajectory of history, Emperor Jing died nine years later, and Liu Che, who was only sixteen years old, will ascend to the throne and control the Han Dynasty.

The library in Liu Che's mind has the most essential knowledge system for the next 2,000 years, but to turn them into reality, a large number of talents are needed. For Liu Che, talent is the primary productive force!

However, the cultivation of talents is not achieved at one touch, and in nine years, even if it is replaced by the cramming education of the new China in the future, compulsory education has just been completed. If you don't start founding Taixue now, and wait until Liu Che ascends the throne to start doing it, you will waste a few precious years. A few years! In every five-year plan in the early days of New China, the productive forces could leap to a new level, and Liu Che could not afford to wait, so he had to take a risk now and promote the establishment of Taixue.

Luckily, he succeeded!

After seeing Liu Che's ancient and modern talents, the academic madman Wei Juan completely abandoned the boundaries of age, followed Liu Che every day to ask for teaching, and served him as a teacher.

When the teacher has something, the disciple obeys it. Emperor Jing and the Empress Dowager, who admired Huang Lao's art, finally agreed to set aside a place in the south of Chang'an City to set up Taixue to spread Huang Lao's art.

There are 50 doctors of the Five Classics in Taixue, teaching "Laozi", "Zhuangzi", "Guanzi", "Han Feizi" and "The Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor" (i.e., the "Sutra", "Ten Classics", "Chengjing" and "Daoyuan Sutra"). The recruited students are called Tai students, and they have the privilege of being exempt from servitude. Tai students are selected, and Taichang (the official of the imperial court in charge of the ceremonies of the temple) is responsible for the selection, and the outside is inspected by the county state.

Although there is still a big gap between this and the Taixue in Liu Che's heart, it is at least an important breakthrough. In the future, without arousing strong antagonism among the ruling class, we can slowly join the study of law, calligraphy, arithmetic, and Gewu.

In fact, in the more than 2,000 years of later generations, Confucianism has also undergone a slow evolution, gradually integrating with various theories. The greatness of Confucian culture lies in its powerful fusion of surnames.

And Huang Laozhixue, which has a strong exclusive surname, has also been slowly transformed in the research of later generations. The various classics in Liu Che's mind can completely pile up a large number of Wenzong like Wei Juan. Through their great prestige and lofty status, they subtly transformed Huang Laozhi's learning into the so-called Neo-Confucianism of later generations.

As for the doctrine that was finally transformed, whether it is called New Huang Laozhi or Neo-Confucianism, it is just a difference in name. In essence, it is the Chinese national culture after more than 2,000 years of evolution, which is inclusive and extracts its essence from its dross.

You must know that in history, the new policy of Jianyuan implemented by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty after coming to power triggered a strong encirclement and suppression by the Huang Lao school led by the Empress Dowager Dou, which ended in failure. The resulting strong political storm almost led to the loss of Emperor Wu's throne. Even until the death of the Empress Dowager Dou, it took Emperor Wu several years and sufficient preparations before he dared to engage in Confucianism.

This is Liu Che's biggest advantage as a traverser, he can see the situation clearly, the direction is accurate, and the moisturizer is silent. There is no need to defend with the Empress Dowager Dou at all, and there is no need to even come forward in person, Wei Juan, these academic champions, will stand up and shout for reform/reform.
