Chapter 411: Looking at the Heaven and the Earth and Fighting for Taoism II

Ask for a monthly pass again, begging, begging, rolling all over the ground and begging!

"Oops, Wen Zhuangyuan has been trapped!"

After listening to the conversation between Wen Tianxiang and Chen Dexing, the big and small Confucians present all secretly said in their hearts at the same time! The doctrine of Confucianism is broad and profound, and it is impossible to say it in ten days and ten nights. But its core, its soul, is "revenge".

Or it is an ideal social state, similar to the aristocratic democracy of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which on the one hand restricts the king, and on the other hand, allows all strata of society to do their part in a strict hierarchical order. This is the Confucian ideal of feudal society!

This is like the doctrine of an advanced party in later generations is broad and profound, and the truth is a set of principles, but its core is still to realize communism! This core cannot be lost, let alone taken away. In any case, it must be held high, just like the Confucian Zhou ceremony. Even if you can't do it for the time being, you can't say you don't want to, and you can't leave this doctrine to others to play.

As a staunch communist fighter, Chen Dexing certainly discovered early on that the advanced party and Confucianism had something in common – they both had a lofty and unattainable ideal. This ideal cannot be lost! You can't let others go!

That's why he will attack the "ownership" of Zhou Li at today's dialectical conference, and want to change Zhou Li from Confucianism to Tiandaoism! Once Confucianism loses its courtesy, then there will be no self-denial and retribution, and there will be no benevolence in the world. So what's left of Confucianism? Exam officer? Or is it a code of conduct such as honoring one's parents?

This is like the advanced party losing its communist ideals, and there is nothing left but glory and shame. That's not going to work......

But he knew that Confucianism could not lose Zhou Li, but there were many big Confucians and small Confucians. But he didn't dare to say: "Only Confucianism can restore the Zhou ceremony!" ”

This cannot be said, because there was no Confucianism in the Western Zhou Dynasty at that time. Isn't there a weekly ritual too?

So, is it okay to attribute Ji Chang, Ji Fa, Ji Dan, and Jiang Ziya of the Western Zhou Dynasty to Confucianism? Of course, it doesn't work, because they are older than Confucius, and once they are regarded as Confucians, then the founder of Confucianism is not Confucius, and Confucius is not the most holy master of Dacheng, King Wenxuan. This hat has to be worn by Ji Chang - a debate will change the ancestor of Confucianism, this Confucianism is too embarrassing, right? Doesn't this mean admitting that the Confucian development line of the past N years is problematic?

Wen Tianxiang also knew that he had lost his words for a while, but in fact, he was not a gaffe, and his words and manners were originally a dead end of Confucianism. Chen Dexing saw through it early in the morning, and it would be strange if he didn't click it.

Champion Yuan Gong hesitated for a long time before he said in a solemn tone: "The saint's re-Zhou ceremony is the way of recovering the Zhou ceremony, not copying the Zhou ceremony...... Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, nearly 2,000 years, the sea has changed into a mulberry field, how can it be the same re-Zhou system? ”

That's a little soft...... Originally, it was a Confucian Zhou ceremony, and an idealized Zhou. It became the "kingdom of heaven on earth", but now it has become the Confucian way of Zhou etiquette.

"What is the Confucian way of etiquette?" Chen Dexing then asked.

Wen Tianxiang said: "The king and the scholar rule the world together!" ”

"How to co-govern?"

"Select the wise men by the imperial examination, assist the king, and rule all the people in the world together!"

Finally the circle is back! Jia Rudao sighed for a long time - the imperial examination is the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty! Regardless of whether the "Magi" who passed the examination can assist the king or not. In the end, whether they share the world with the king or are the king's servants and concubines. But as long as the imperial examination is still going on, the Great Song Dynasty has the basis to survive.

However, Wen Tianxiang said that this kind of imperial examination system for officials by examination has become a weekly rite that keeps pace with the times. It's kind of strong enough to make sense.

Chen Dexing sighed: "I originally thought that Brother Wenshan was a fellow believer, and he would also realize the shortcomings of the cycle of chaos in China since the Qin Dynasty. The root cause is the abolition of feudalism and the centralization of power. In order to protect the family and the country, the power of the world, the wealth of the world, the soldiers of the world, and the power of the world are gathered in the king. Absolute monarchy. Playing with the world's talents is applauding, and treating all the people of the world as slaves.

And in order to seek a country that is not easy for all eternity, the king also practices the law of fooling the people, crippling the people, and harming the people. It also makes the heroic people trapped in the imperial examination, the youth is endowed, the head is poor, and he only knows how to seek officials and will not be pragmatic. In the long run, the more stupid the people became and the country was weaker, so that the Hulu barbarians succeeded in the Central Plains and China was in a corner. ”

When Chen Dexing said this, his eyes coldly swept Liu Bingzhong and Ba Si Pa in the courtyard, and he found that only Liu Bingzhong and a few Han Confucians were wearing Hanfu, and the rest of the Yuan people were all in Hufu, but they generously admitted that they were barbarians.

Wen Tianxiang listened carefully to Chen Dexing's statement, while looking for loopholes.

"Doesn't the King of Han know about the changes of the Seven Kingdoms and the rebellion of the Eight Kings?" Wen Tianxiang asked coldly.

Chen Dexing smiled: "The division of the Han and Jin dynasties and the feudalism of the Western Zhou Dynasty are not the same thing. ”

Wen Tianxiang asked rhetorically: "What is the feudalism of the Western Zhou Dynasty?" ”

"Xia Jun Yimin is the feudalism of the Western Zhou Dynasty." Chen Dexing said, "There are feudal monarchs, doctors, countrymen, savages, slaves, layers, and ranks, which are the feudalism of the Western Zhou Dynasty." ”

This Xia Jun Yimin is actually a feudal colony! It is to seal the kings, doctors, and people of China to the territory of barbarians. Let the people of China be the upper class and "educate" the barbarians.

This kind of feudal law is the feudalism of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Zhou rite -- this is a combination of feudalism and pioneering and expansion. The feudal princes of TongguΓ² expanded the living space of the Chinese nation and laid the foundation for the next 3,000 years.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the feudal kings all sealed the kings on the inherent territory of China. And there are no more upper-class ranks of doctors and countrymen. is a bare-bones king and a bunch of ill-intentioned Hakka retainers, and the territory is an inherent land in China, and there are not many indigenous resistance forces that need to be suppressed. Those kings, doormen, and retainers were naturally idle, and they pondered every day about rebelling to replace the Son of Heaven.

"Xia Jun Yimin...... To put it lightly! Now it is not the Western Zhou Dynasty, all corners of the world already have a home and country. If you want to forcibly force Xia Jun to raze the people, I am afraid that I will be ruined, and I will fight for many years! ”

As he spoke, Wen Tianxiang looked coldly at a bunch of barbarian envoys behind Chen Dexing. In his mind, this rich land in the world has been occupied by the Han people. Therefore, there is little significance in foreign expansion, and the countries surrounding Han land, such as Goryeo, Japan, Annam, Champa, Khmer, Dali, Srivijaya and other countries, already have their own courts and kings. It's not that kind of barbarian tribe, it's not easy to conquer and educate, and even the gains outweigh the losses! With this little effort, it is better to govern the Han land well...... Well, it should be a good governance of the southern Han land.

"The Quartet of the World ......" Chen Dexing paused, then clapped his hands and said with a smile, "The topic of this dialectic is heaven and earth. Since Brother Wenshan has spoken of the world, let's start dialectic! After the debate is over, Brother Wenshan should know that he is wrong. ”

"Good!"

Before Wen Tianxiang could agree, the Great Lama of Uszang over there took over the topic and asked with a smile: "Then please tell His Royal Highness King Ming what the sky and the earth are like, right?" ”

The lama is better at dialectics than Wen Tianxiang, and he does not mention his own opinions, but asks questions directly. Because of the theory of heaven and earth, whether it is Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, they are all mysterious and mysterious. And there are many different views and opinions from one religion to another. In this case, it is much easier to find fault than to preach.

Chen Dexing nodded with a smile, raised his hand and pointed to a few binoculars in the courtyard, and said, "I won't talk about the sky today, I just invite everyone to watch the sky." Because the sky is incomparable, there are trillions of stars, and it is difficult to see the power of our lives. As for the heavens, we are all ignorant people, and we can only talk nonsense. It's better to use this telescope mirror tonight to observe the world and get a glimpse or two. When I have finished peeking into the sky, I will talk to you again......"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the monks and Taoist priests present changed slightly. Because there are many discussions on heaven in Buddhism and Taoism -- heaven is part of the two religious and mythological systems of Confucianism and Buddhism. How can you admit that you are ignorant and talking nonsense?

But looking at the large telescopes -- of course they knew what the telescopes were -- these monks and Taoist priests did not dare to argue with Chen Dexing about the description of heaven in their respective scriptures...... That is, you have to look at the sky first, right? If what comes out is different from what you see with this telescope, wouldn't it be a foreign appearance?

"What you say is unreasonable, so let's take a look at it first!" The first to stand up and look at the sky was the old nun of the Empress Dowager of the Tang Dynasty. The old nun is not here to fight for orthodoxy, she is interested in orthodoxy. As long as the Tang Dynasty can become the orthodox Pingyuan and destroy the Song Dynasty, it is to let Chen Dexing be the national teacher and let the Tiandao Sect be the national religion, and it doesn't matter if the imperial examination is scientific in the future.

"The poor monk should also come and take a look." His Holiness the Sakya Phags-pa also got up and walked towards a telescope. He is also not here to fight for unification, there is no secret market here in the Central Plains. And he is a living Buddha in Wusizang, and he is not worried about the Heavenly Dao Sect going in to grab business.

As soon as the two of them took the lead, Liu Bingzhong and the great monk Yongxin, the great monk of Qinghe, and the gentleman of Confucius from Qufu all stood up, either one occupied a telescope, or the two of them shared a telescope and began to look at the moon and the stars.

However, the masters of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the Southern Song Dynasty sat like stone statues one by one. It's not because they're not curious, but the emperor of the Zhao family has issued a decree prohibiting folk observation of astronomy. This astronomy can only be observed by the Qin Tianjian so as not to reveal the heavenly secrets - of course, the will of the Emperor Zhao family cannot control the Empress Dowager of the Li family and the Dharma King of Wu Sizang, nor can it control our King Chen Daming.

Therefore, this heavenly opportunity can only be hidden from the people and officials of the Great Song Dynasty. And at this time, Jia Yidao, the most powerful person in the Great Song Dynasty, closed his eyes and didn't move, as if he was asleep. Although he is in power now, it is also time to beware of gossip. If there is something like Jia like watching the sky at night, peeping into the heavens, and having bad intentions, it will be very bad...... (To be continued......)
