If it is an ordinary Confucian, half-understood, that trouble, Zheng Lang said the east, he had to use the west to cite, you said yours, he said his, in the end, come to a sentence, Lao Tzu eats more salt than you eat, what should Zheng Lang do? After all, he was too young to admit defeat. Therefore, he only selected a few people in his heart, and selected them one by one among these people, and even the doctor of Taixue would not bother, for fear that this phenomenon would happen.

If you are a narrow-minded person, even if you have knowledge and can meditate carefully, but you just don't admit it, then it is not okay either. For example, if Feng Yuan doesn't admit it, who will the people of the world help to speak? If it is a word, it is possible that the people are open, but when it comes to Confucianism, how many people think they are right?

But Feng Yuan didn't account for either.

He was not only a Confucian who was proficient in the scriptures, but also a philanthropic elder. Right is right, wrong is wrong. For example, he also pointed out that what Zheng Lang said was too extreme. But isn't this ceremony, when I think about it carefully in my mind?

In fact, many Confucians in previous lives are arguing on it, but most of them are unintentional, in fact, in their subconscious, they also regard etiquette as a system. This kind of system is not the kind of system with empty surnames, with a strong Legalist connotation, or the kind of "righteousness" that this little guy said, with a strong sense of governance. However, in the hearts of Feng Yuan and others, etiquette also has some governance and constraints, but the center is benevolence, respect and friendship.

What's the difference?

But if you think about it carefully, what Zheng Jiazi said this time is very simple, not as much as benevolence and righteousness. In fact, every important word of Confucianism, such as benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and happiness, cannot be explained in a few words, and it can be said that it is all-encompassing. But no matter how you explain it, there is a core to it. It seems that the core of the ceremony...... It's really the ...... in the mouth of the Zheng family system, and is more uncontroversial than what he says about benevolence.

This time the brain exploded.

Staring at Zheng Lang with his eyes, Zheng Lang pinched his nose and said embarrassedly: "Feng gives things, it's really rude to be late, but it's just yes, it's right or wrong." If you know that you are wrong, you still have to insist on it, and you think it is even worse when you are late. ”

The little maidservants in the back didn't leave, they were lying on the window and watching, and a little maid was dazed and asked quietly: "Isn't it just a ceremony, how can you say that it is a system?" ”

I didn't understand it, but I knew that my old man was in a hurry, and I rarely saw the old man's expression.

At the same time, she was puzzled, the so-called courtesy, isn't it polite and polite, when she met, she gave a salute, so-and-so was good, and then made some respectful actions. Or to put it more broadly, it is every activity of the imperial court and how it is arranged. That's the ceremony. What the little maid said is not right, the latter is etiquette, it is the hair and festival of etiquette, this statement, not only says that etiquette is a system, but also the difference between etiquette and etiquette, and even extends to "points" and "middle", each of which is not so simple, and Zheng Lang's ideas are different from the current Confucianism.

The former is also wrong, in fact, once Zheng Lang's kind of remarks are popularized, Confucianism will undergo qualitative changes, and the Ministry of Rites will not become an ornament. But the controversy caused is also greater, to put it mildly, it is no less than Wang Anshi made a small change, but one is used on the people of the country, and the other is used in Confucianism.

Zheng Lang thought faintly. It's just a few, and I don't dare to think about it anymore.

One sentence made Feng Yuan speechless, yes is yes, no is wrong, how to distinguish? Either he wiped his conscience and relied on his familiarity with the scriptures, but he disdained to do it.

At this moment, the outside gatekeeper came in and said, "Xianggong Lu, Xianggong Xia, and Xianggong Xiao Yan are visiting." ”

These families are not far away, Zheng Lang suddenly came to Feng Yuan's house, what to say to visit Confucianism, and after several people heard the report, they all became interested. used to be a calligraphy and painting piano, but except for Liu Yuniang's time, which didn't seem to satisfy him, and Zheng Jiazi didn't offer skills, the rest were all written by this kid first, or painted first, played first, and then watched. It is better to observe and learn than to communicate with each other. More than a dozen of his observations were passed on as a matter of grace.

I didn't see the painting, but I saw the words, which really made this kid successful.

I don't know how Confucianism is consulted.

There are also some other officials who live nearby, but their rank is too low, don't look at Feng Yuan is in the middle of the matter, but as soon as Sun Zheng left, he became the emperor's most respected teacher, and that invisible status was no less than that of Lu Yijian.

One by one, they can't climb high. Therefore, only these three bigwigs arrived.

"I'll go out and greet you," Feng Yuan said. Opening the middle door wide is to open the middle door completely. The three prime ministers, and one of them is the prime minister, except for the emperor, even when they go to the house of the eight kings, they have to obediently open all the middle doors.

Noisy with each other, embarrassed to say that they came to see the excitement, Xia Zhu said: "Feng is in the middle of the matter, today the three of us will go to your house to disturb and have dinner." ”

"Okay," Feng Yuan couldn't refuse, but there was another person in the house.

Yan Shu asked strangely, "Feng Zhishi, what's wrong with you?" ”

Even if the Zheng family kid asks you about Confucianism, he won't be so sad, right? Or stump you? But I don't believe it, the Zheng family kid is smart, but can he use Confucianism to stump Feng Yuan? I don't have the ability to pay for it myself.

It really made him guess. Feng Yuan sighed and said, "You three ministers, you are all very talented, come and think about it for me, Zheng Jiazi is right, or wrong." ”

repeated Zheng Lang's words again. It's not like benevolence and righteousness, I talked about thousands of words, I can't remember it, and the core things tonight are just a few hundred words, and I can remember them. It's retold almost word for word.

The three bigwigs glanced at each other, and this time it was fun. Although Yan Shu had long thought that Zheng Lang liked to swallow whales, he couldn't help but say: "This son has a good appetite, he wants to give Confucianism a complete revolution!" ”

The word revolution was used.

Feng Yuan said with a bitter face: "Not really. ”

Xia Zhu said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

The four of them walked to the living room inside, and this time they all knew each other, Zheng Lang stood up, saluted one by one, and said, "I've seen Lu Xianggong, Yan Xianggong, and Xia Xianggong." ”

"You can sit down," Lu Yijian said.

Sitting down again, the legs of the two little girls trembled again, and they were very nervous when they saw the Queen Mother, and finally separated the curtain, but now they are sitting face to face, and the three prime ministers are there. Zheng Lang comforted: "Don't be afraid, the three prime ministers are all good people." ”

On the contrary, according to Qingliu's standards, none of these three prime ministers are good people. But Zheng Lang can't do it, and these three big people are bullish.

Now Zheng Lang also has a small status, especially that Xie Yuan, not only Xie Yuan, but there is no controversy in this Xie Yuan, so there is some small weight in speaking. The three bigwigs smiled on their foreheads, slightly useful.

Jiang Xing'er and Si'er were still a little nervous.

Xia Zhu looked at them and said, "You don't have to be afraid, your family's Xiaolang's future in the future is also limitless." ”

Anyway, since Zheng Lang said those words in the palace that time, Xia Zhu has been very pleasing to Zheng Lang, and asked Zheng Lang again: "Why do you remember to ask for a salute?" ”

"It's because the late students are puzzled, they read a lot of books, so they think about it, and they don't know whether it's right or wrong, so they deliberately ask Feng for advice." There is already a dispute between benevolence and righteousness, and then a ceremony is introduced, which is more troublesome, and I have some attainments in Confucianism, and I am very persistent and attentive, and my intention will be achieved.

"Do you know how the provincial test will be conducted once this ceremony is controversial again?"

Renyi didn't dare to ask questions, and Li didn't dare to ask questions, not to mention anything else, the imperial examination would be in big trouble immediately.

"Xia Xianggong, if the late life is wrong, please correct the seniors, if the late life is right, you can't continue to insist. Moreover, the late students faintly felt that if it was true as the later students said, Confucianism would play a greater role. ”

"What does it do?"

"Practical! If the true meaning of Confucianism is reinterpreted and returned to the intention of the ancient sages, rather than the Confucianism left over from the Han Dynasty, the country can be clearly interpreted by Confucianism from system to morality to law. It will no longer be as specious as before, mixed with Taoism. After all, the original meaning of Confucianism is practical, not like Taoism is vain and Legalism is harsh. And whether Confucianism interprets righteousness or etiquette, its essence is still based on benevolence, benevolence, and love for others. It is of great help to assist the emperor in governing the country and educating the people. Otherwise, if the Taoism continues to exist, in the future, if there is a bad person, he will believe in Taoism in vain and will indulge in alchemy and cultivating immortals. Or a tyrant who harsh the people. The state will also fall apart in a few days. That is, the courtiers want to admonish, but the system itself is mixed with Taoism, and the discernment is not clear, and the admonition does not have much effect, so that the rise and fall of the country is all in the thought of the king. ”

It's not impossible, how many monastic emperors did the Song and Ming dynasties have? Or like Song Huizong, he got a flower gang stone and killed how many people?

Hugh is going to say that he is the little emperor at the moment, and he also used the Taoist language to modify the era name.

"You ......" Lu Yijian was also confused, hesitated for a moment and continued: "You not only want to reinterpret Confucianism, but also want to use Confucianism to formulate a set of guidelines for the country?" ”

After asking, the four of them glanced at each other, and they all thought of the words that Zheng Lang said in prison: aspire to heaven and earth, establish the way for the people, go to the holy inheritance, and open peace for Wankai. But when they thought of it, all four of them took a breath of cold air in their mouths.

Say yes, don't play like that.

I didn't dare to think like this for Lu Yijian, so ambitious!

But it seems that Zheng Jiazi is going up step by step. Yan Shu thought in his heart, fortunately, fortunately, grandma's, he was still distracted, in other things, otherwise how would we live.

Zheng Lang looked at the expressions of several big names, and knew that playing like this was a bit too much, after all, he was young, so he said: "I don't dare to do this, and I have thought about it, but I don't have enough guts, I don't have enough talent, and my reputation and experience are shallow." And I don't know what is right or wrong, including last year's lecture on benevolence and righteousness in Taixue, and I didn't dare to talk about it in my later years, for fear of causing more criticism. Therefore, I deliberately came to Feng's mansion today to visit Feng Zhishi, and wanted to ask Feng Zhishi to answer some problems for the late students, so as to relieve the confusion in the hearts of the later students. ”

"You didn't talk about that benevolence and righteousness?" Xia Zhu was a little dizzy and asked.

"If you want to talk about it in detail, you have to talk about a lot, and it will inevitably cause more controversy. Later in life, I thought of a lot, and I could even write tens of thousands of words of articles. It's finally small, but I'm afraid that the talent is not enough, and the harm is also endless, so I'll talk about it briefly. I don't know if I dare to interpret the thoughts in my heart perfectly in the future. ”

said it very tactfully, but all four of them understood it, and the reason why they didn't dare to talk about it was that there was a bigger topic later, so they said it, which will inevitably cause more controversy.

They looked at each other again, and the meaning was obvious, this was not a revolution, what was it?

Yan Shu wiped his sweat and asked, "Then what other questions do you have?" ”

Although the three of them are not as accomplished as Feng Yuan in Confucianism, they are all very talented people. But Zheng Lang doesn't think like this, if you can ask Yan Shu's poetry, if you can ask Lu Yijian's power scheme, if you can ask Xia Zhuhou Heixue, Confucianism can only find Feng Yuan.

This is to look at people from the perspective of the whole history, just as he treats articles, and the requirements are too high. In fact, if these four people are stumped today, more than half of the people in the world will be stumped.

didn't dare to say it, arched his hand and said: "Thank you Xia Xianggong for teaching, and also ask Lu Xianggong and Yan Xianggong, as well as Feng Zhizhi for teaching." The Master said, "See! I have been consistent. What is one? ”

As soon as the front asked, the four big men in the back all frowned. Xia Zhu muttered: "Sure enough...... Be...... Doubt. ”
