Chapter 66: Digging a Pit and Burying People
"Zhao Zhong," Zhao Zhong shouted into the air while lying on the dragon couch while swallowing melon seeds.
"The minister is here" Zhao Zhong still appeared in front of him quietly like a ghost as usual.
"How's it going?"
"Back to the emperor, the ministers have basically locked down the initiators, but their identities are a little special, and the ministers are just letting people spy on them now." Zhao Zhong presented the information in his hand with an expressionless face.
Zhao Zhen briefly looked at the content of the information, and said calmly: "I guess it should be him, and it is not surprising that the rumors that I want to abolish the Holy School have the greatest impact on him...... You also found out that this Liu Chengqi has a close relationship with him, what's going on? ”
"Back to the emperor, this is also where the ministers are confused, after our investigation, this Liu Chengqi is the envoy of Yanzhou Jiedu, and it is not far from Kong Daofu, they don't seem to have any intersection before, it seems that it is this incident that their connection is close."
"Liu Chengqi ......" Zhao Zhen muttered: "How does this name sound familiar, but there is information about him?" ”
"The minister has just checked his file, the file records: he was a eunuch, Chuzhou (now Huai'an, Jiangsu) people, sensitive and capable, good Confucianism, like to collect books, the first emperor reigned, he has been supervising the inner treasury, the system is more than its place, won the first emperor's award, for the first emperor Mount Tai Feng Zen made a lot of efforts, and then was awarded by the first emperor Yanzhou Jiedu envoy."
"A eunuch is mixed with a saintly scholar, what do they want to do? Seeing that he is not young, what are you tossing? Can you find out if he was involved in this incident? ”
"Back to the emperor, the minister has investigated the people who Kong Daofu has recently contacted, only this Liu Chengqi is the only one who has not found out the problem, except for the only few meetings with Kong Daofu, he stays at home and does not go anywhere, does nothing, is leisurely and happy all day long."
"There must be a demon when something goes wrong, I don't think so, you have to step up your investigation and find out the ins and outs as soon as possible. In addition, you prepare a copy of the information about Liu Chengqi from childhood to adulthood, and I want to see it for myself. "As a later generation, I am deeply influenced by various suspense films, and I have an extraordinary sensitivity to these intrigues.
"Minister, let's arrange it." After he finished speaking, he disappeared from under Zhao Zhen's nose, and Zhao Zhen had an uncontrollable curiosity about this situation every time**.
After January, articles against Zhao Zhen flew almost all over the country, and even the farthest reaches could be seen in the Times. All of a sudden, the scholars of the whole country seemed to see the dawn of victory. As the center of the storm, Kong Daofu couldn't help but be secretly proud, proud of his ability to turn the tide and restore the glory of the Holy Learning.
As the initiator of this matter, Liu Chengqi was unusually quiet, did not show the slightest joy of victory, but quietly packed his bags and prepared to go.
There are also many people who don't have any unusual thoughts about this incident, and the three of them are among them. Through these years of exposure to new learning, they realized that this learning could still do the same. On the whole, sacred studies tend to think more from a macro perspective, different people can read different flavors, and a person needs rich life experience to be able to form a set of his own way of doing things.
Of course, there are still some lessons worth learning from the education of the people of the Song Dynasty for the people of the Song Dynasty. In fact, in the Northern Song Dynasty, most of the literati were still very strong, daring to say no to the power, and the civil official group played a great role in checking and balancing the imperial power, which was of great benefit to the civilization process of human society.
The most commendable achievements of the Sacred School in regulating human behavior, loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, courtesy, righteousness, honesty, honesty and trustworthiness are much stronger than those of later generations. At least in this era, there are not many people who dare to jump out and bully their elders, and those who dare to sell fakes will also be killed by their peers. Don't look at the relatively open atmosphere of the Song Dynasty, but the famous prostitutes of the people are also really skilled, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, speaking, playing and singing, everything is good, but it is not comparable to the current people who can only strip and be favored.
There is a saying that after Yashan, there will be no more China. The reason for this statement is only to show that under the foreign invasion (the Mengyuan Dynasty eliminated the Southern Song Dynasty Yashan Battle), the Chinese national culture and national pride were completely lost. Although this statement may be biased, at least the quintessence that should have been inherited has been lost, and the belief that should have been there is gone, which has created a scene of moral degradation and mercenary in the Celestial Empire.
On the surface, although there are various religions spreading in our Celestial Empire, none of them can take on the heavy responsibility of guiding the people. Here, don't be mistaken for thinking that having a religious belief is a sign of regression, you can look at the Western countries, they are said to be more developed than us, and theoretically they should be atheists, but this is not the case. We don't care whether there is a god in this world or not, but the guiding role of Western religion has played a complementary role in the laws of their countries, and the law can only tell people what they can and cannot do, while religion tells people what they should do.
Zhao Zhen personally experienced the era of indifference in later generations, and he also hoped that the empire under his rule would not only be strong, but also that the people under his rule would be spiritually strong, and Shengxue was the best weapon left to him by his ancestors.
The West created Jesus, let's praise Confucius, Zhao Zhen said!
All this is too far for the three of them, and they are still arguing about the mathematical formulas, physical laws, and chemical phenomena they have just learned! At this time, the five-day Da Song Times has slowly become an indispensable part of the Da Song students, and some even pay a deposit for the whole year, so that they can see this newspaper of only a few pages in time.
Recently, there have been articles against the Holy Lord from all over the world, and after reading a few articles, it tastes like chewing wax, and the three of them are not interested in it, but they are just habitually looking at it.
"Yikes!" Han Qi was still so startled and shouted, "Come and see, the Holy Lord has finally made a move!" ”
"I'll see!" Wen Yanbo grabbed the newspaper and hurriedly read it, and Han Qi and Fu Bi also squeezed aside to watch.
"The saint is really a blockbuster! Presumably, as soon as this order comes out, those people can't afford to make any waves! Wen Yanbo said with emotion, which also strengthened the dream in his heart.
"Do you think the Holy One will abolish the Holy Learning?" Fu Bi asked.
"I don't think so, but if you look at all the actions of the saints, it seems that the saints are pursuing one purpose, that is, to be useful. The Holy One once judged the merits of the Holy School and the New School in the court, and according to the Holy Lord's custom, he should combine the two. If you look at this proclamation, it is not difficult to see that even if the opposition is victorious now, it will still be vigorously promoted in ten years, and the new school will be divided into two parts. ”
"Judging from the new learning that we have come into contact with in just one month, this new learning does still have a lot of merits, and there are many objective things that exist in it that are not found in the sacred science, and I think it is a good choice to learn from the strengths of the two." Fu Bi also continued.
"Have you noticed that the teaching of this Royal Academy is taught in different disciplines and stages, which is clear and well-organized, this feels so good!" Han Qi watched the two buddies scrutinize there, very bored, so he interjected to interrupt the two.
"Zhigui reminded me that the saint only said that next year's imperial examination will add a layer of new learning content, but the new learning system we see is so huge, how to choose this layer? Let's take less than a year, so we can't learn in a hurry! Fu Bi expressed his concerns to the two.
"The Holy Lord should not ignore this issue, and the new Mr. Xuexue sent out at that time should have some hints. In my opinion, this royal academy is taught in different subjects, so we have so little time, it is very likely that we only test the most basic things, let's learn the most basic things in each subject first! Wen Yanbo once again temporarily demonstrated his extraordinary reasoning skills in front of his two companions.
"It's so good, Brother Fool has been able to use that multiplication formula proficiently recently, and it's much easier to settle accounts." Fubi said proudly.
"I also read the book "Mechanics" written in the library, and there is a law of gravitation in it, although many of it is incomprehensible, but it also makes me understand the reason why I usually see some phenomena, and I find that I like this thing called physics more and more." Han Qi also said in surprise.
"Let's all work together! In the future, how about we work together to assist the Holy God in establishing immortality! Wen Yanbo also seemed to be infected by their emotions, and Pi Zi stood up and said excitedly.
"I'm willing to go!" "I am willing to go!"
As soon as this decree was issued, there was silence everywhere it went, as if the clamor of the past had never appeared, and those who had been published to oppose it suddenly became the object of public surveillance. No matter what the era, people will always take precedence over their own interests. After all, there are still very few people who can be admitted to the Gongsheng seriously, and their voices are drowned in the vast sea of people without bubbling up.
"Father, it seems that the Holy One is insisting on promoting a new school!" Kong Shengyou looked at the newspaper and said to Kong Daofu.
"Who's to say it isn't?" Kong Daofu said absent-mindedly, and the person sent to find Liu Chengqi came back and said that he had left Yanzhou, and he was very depressed at the moment.
"According to the child, as soon as this order of the Holy Lord comes out, the scholars of the world may see the wind and rudder, and the momentum we created before will collapse, isn't it a busy time." Kong Shengyou was very worried.
"Not a possibility, but a certainty."
"So what are we going to do?"
"What else can I do! In fact, the sacred science is a whip used by the emperors to educate the people, since the saints want not to use this whip today, then they must think that we are useless, and we can change the practice of the saints since they went to Beijing! ”
"Aren't you going to talk to Uncle Liu?"
"It's okay not to say it, but it's angry when I say it, and I sent someone to invite my father, but he slipped away. Now that I think about it, we seem to have been taken advantage of, but this is also to blame for my father's lack of cultivation and the importance of fame and fortune, so you will have to pay attention to it in the future. ”
"Remember the teachings, children! But when you say that we are being used, do you mean Uncle Liu? What good can he do by doing so? ”
"This is also what my father didn't understand, he didn't come forward from beginning to end, and completely pushed our Kong family to the cusp, but even then he can't get any benefits, right?"
"That's it! What the hell is he trying to do? ”
"No matter, let's take a halfway walk!"
A knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two, only to hear the servant outside the door shouting: "Master, there is an angel in the house, go and have a look!" ”
Kong Daofu's father and son glanced at each other, both saw a trace of panic in each other's eyes, and walked out silently together.
The two came to the hall and hurriedly stepped forward to meet the angel: "The angel is coming, Weichen has missed the welcome, please forgive the sin!" ”
"Master Kong, please get up quickly, we are also acting on orders, and we dare not take this great gift. We are the brocade guards of the Guoan Temple, and the holy flying pigeon transmits the book to us, and orders us to escort the adults into Beijing. The visitor said modestly.
"Jin Yiwei? Who are you? The old man had never heard of it. Kong Daofu had a wary expression on his face.
"Don't panic, my lord, this is my isosceles card, the Holy Lord changed the original secret dish division to the Guoan Temple, and divided the rights, we are his subordinate Jinyi Guard, mainly responsible for the protection of important personnel."
Kong Daofu carefully checked their waist cards before respectfully returning them to them, and said apologetically: "I'm offended, can I wait for the old man to tidy up a little?" ”
"Your Excellency, please take care of the carriages and horses."
