Chapter 175: Interest

After rushing for several days, I finally rushed out of the fifth watch, everyone, do you want to give me a monthly pass?

===================== this question was strange, Sima Guang still replied very honestly: "Shame on you! ”

"Then why do you need the law?"

I don't ask about the law of Legalism, I don't ask about the righteousness of Confucianism, I just refer to the law.

"Fear ears."

"Then the emperor made a mistake, what did he use to make him afraid?"

Saying this, the two teenagers suddenly realized that their qualifications were really smart, and they stood up at the same time, and arched their hands: "Xie Jieyuan corrects." ”

"It is not allowed to say and correct, but today, the law cannot be passed on to other people's ears."

"Ah," the two young thieves laughed sheepishly.

But Confucius may have meant this at that time, but it was not very clear, the fact is that he did not see the real ghosts and gods, and there was no evidence of the existence, so he was half-convinced, and there were many believers and few doubters, so there were some very contradictory words.

In his remarks, there is a similar situation, one moment he said that he would rather be poor than lose his ambition, and the other time he said that if you are rich, you can ask for it, even if you are a whip, I will do it, and if you can't ask for it, you will do what I like. If you can get rich, you can do what you do with a whip, and I will do it, but if you can't ask for it, then you should do what I like. This is too much to belittle. But every sentence of his sentence was put on the altar, even if it was bad, it was repeatedly misinterpreted by later generations and turned into a holy scripture!

It depends on how it is explained, and it can become a theory of its own just by making sense.

In fact, it doesn't matter how Zheng Lang interprets Confucius's words, Guan Jian's meaning goes straight to the heart of the ruler.

"Whether there are ghosts or gods, I don't dare to talk about it, it's too far away, and even if there are, it's not the ghosts and gods we imagined. But you have to remember the words of Liu Xuande and Di Renjie, people-oriented. This person is not only a scholar, but also craftsmen, farmers, merchants and soldiers, all of whom live happily, and this is the true people-oriented. ”

"Whoa."

should be more satisfied with a conversation, the main two teenagers did not raise the bar with him, otherwise it would be very heartwarming, it is Zheng Lang's current level, and if you want to win them, it will also take a lot of words.

But Wang Yi and Sima Chi didn't know, if they knew that their son was placed in the Zheng family and taught like this, how should they feel?

"You study hard, I also have to study hard, and strive to take the provincial high school exam as soon as possible, so that we can have more time to communicate together."

Hearing this, the two teenagers were very happy, but when they heard the word communication, they both frowned. However, there is concern, and he said: "You should also rest early, study is not a one-time effort, and the body should also pay attention." Also, if there is anything missing, the little maids around you are very young, and they may not understand, just ask. ”

"We're satisfied."

"That's good," Zheng Lang finished speaking, and left.

Things are not as smooth as he imagined, accept these two people as students, don't expect peace, Xiao Zhengzi!

On this day, sitting at home for lunch, the two teenagers will definitely not be able to come back for lunch, but in the city, the Zheng family has a shop, so Liu Er took the time to send food over every day. In fact, Sima Chi was not very relieved, and quietly sent someone over to take a look, and was very satisfied after hearing it. What else?

Everyone took out the carriage given by the old lady and became a special car for their precious son. Moreover, Zheng Jiazi's hard work also played a leading role, and it seems that the other companion reading is also not simple. Not only that, the future of the Zheng family is far from being comparable to himself, once he rises to the top, his son will inevitably be lost.

Whoever doesn't make a small calculation and doesn't fight, that's called a fool's egg!

The eldest lady was praising the two little ones at home, and several Confucian students from the state school came to Zheng's house together.

Zheng Lang enthusiastically sang a fat greeting, and then asked, "Why are several gentlemen here?" ”

"Sir, that dare to be," the gentlemen were ashamed to death, and then told what had happened. It was Zheng Lang who said it, if you don't understand, you have to ask. Unlike the Sima family and the Wang family, the two parents are both Jinshi, if you don't understand something, you can immediately advise.

I don't have much time, so I have to ask if I have a problem.

The problem arises, because he has not traveled to study, Zheng Lang's understanding of the literati in the Song Dynasty as a whole is too high. Not only students, but also some Confucian students, may not be as high as he imagined. After all, this is a very backward era of communication, including many students, who are not in a position to read and write at will. Except for geniuses like Ouyang Xiu, most of the studies are obtained only by words and deeds.

So there are very few excellent people.

The two teenagers were arrogant and heavy, sometimes asking, seeing that the teacher was hesitant, so they explained themselves, teacher, is it right for me to explain like this?

Yes, well explained.

What else can you say, and then hide to the side and break out in a cold sweat. Sure enough, it is a student of Xie Yuan's family, and the students are so awesome!

If so, it will be over.

The key is still in the two people. Not only is the national policy one radical and the other conservative, but the understanding of Confucianism is also completely different.

Wang Anshi once said that Kong's righteousness was not lost with his vassals, and Mencius was a traveler and inherited the saint of death. Catch the disaster of simmering embers, then lose the source of the flow, the quality of the chapters and sentences, the wisdom of the commentary, the reason for this silver rhetoric, and the wonderful way to the words are hidden.

said that the source of Confucian scriptures of Confucius and Mencius was positive, which was similar to Zheng Lang's meaning, so Wang Anshi shouted and wanted to run to Zhengjiazhuang. But there is a difference...... Don't take it seriously.

Even if Mencius had some "heresy", he still did not lose the way of Confucianism. Qin Shi Huang's book burning and confucianism and war caused serious damage to the Confucian classics, so that since the Han and Wei dynasties, the study of chapters and verses has prevailed. If the righteousness is lost, the substance of the scriptures cannot be substantial, and the heart is drowned, and the silver words are popular, and the way of the saints is hidden and not revealed. So what to do? The study of the commentary can no longer be played, and the study of righteousness and reason is used instead of the study of the commentary.

Even faintly put Mencius above Confucius, saying that Confucius was a vassal and unlost righteousness, this sentence is very interesting, he is a courtier with obstacles, and the righteousness of unlost is not very perfect, does it mean that because of the identity of this vassal, his knowledge is not very perfect?

But what about Sima Guang? He deliberately wrote a book of "Suspicious Mencius", doubting that "Mencius" was not what Mencius himself said, and raising doubts about Mencius's actions in his life. Those who hold this point of view have Li Jing in front and Chao in the back. However, Sima Guang raised this doubt, but a small half of it was specifically aimed at Wang Anshi.

Then he said: Wang Anshi should not use a private school, and wants to cover up the Confucianism, so that the world's scholars will explain...... He deposed the "Spring and Autumn Period" and entered the "Mencius", abolishing the six arts and respecting the hundred schools. In particular, Wang Anshi actually said that "Spring and Autumn" was "a report of broken material", which made him hate it to the extreme.

Such a belittling of "Spring and Autumn" is indeed too much.

But Sima Guang is no better.

Wang Anshizun's one is all fake, first in the sky, second in the ground, and third in the ground. Sima Guang is the first in the sky, the second in the ground, the third in the predecessors, and the fourth in him.

Sima Guang came and said that a few old gentlemen heard it well.

Then Wang Anshi came, and the two of them raised the bar and returned to the bar, and sometimes they were also communicating. Since Sima Guang asked, most of them were Wang Anshi who also didn't understand. You can't ask Zheng Lang everything, the two of them are very smart, and they know that if there are no special circumstances at this time, they can't distract the real little teacher. I came to ask too.

The teacher then added some of his own opinions to what Sima Guang said just now.

No, sir, you are wrong.

Where was I wrong.

Wang Anshi said his point of view again, don't look at him as small, the average Confucian scholar is really not as high as him, and he was flickered when he heard it.

Once, twice, for a long time, more than a dozen Confucians were made immortal to death by two little children. In desperation, a few idle teachers discussed, ran to Zheng's house, and said to Zheng Lang: "Zheng Jieyuan, your two students are too talented to be taught by us." ”

The eldest lady was very strange, and asked with wide eyes: "These two children are very well-behaved and sensible." ”

Several gentlemen had words of suffering, because of Zheng Lang's repeated reminders that the two little guys were at least superficially respecting their teachers. It seems to be very polite.

One of the Confucian scholars was more eloquent, pouring out the bitter water one by one.

But it's not good to say too low, to speak vaguely, the eldest lady didn't understand, and was still asking: "I don't understand it, I want to ask, so I ask outside to ask words, paintings, pianos, and knowledge." ”

A few gentlemen frowned again, auntie, why can't you twist it, who is your son asking? Characters are the masters of words, paintings are masters of painting, and learning is the masters of learning, all of which are the most cutting-edge in the entire Great Song Dynasty. Who are we? Can a teacher who beats soy sauce and eats a mouthful of food compare with the people your son asked?

However, Zheng Lang understood that if one was okay, the two had a chemical reaction, not only would they have a headache, but they would have a headache anywhere, and they didn't believe that if they were put on Sima Chi's mansion, Sima Chi would not be better either. Touching his nose and smiling bitterly, he had to persuade him with good words and said, "A few gentlemen, I really can't spare time in my late life. So be it. ”

Saying a few words to Jiang Xing'er, Jiang Xing'er took a few ingots of silver from the back of the house, about two hundred taels, there are a total of fourteen gentlemen in the state school, and one person can divide more than a dozen taels. It's not much, but it's not a small amount. He also said: "Your Majesty has just returned to power, and the provincial test will definitely be held next year." Once the late students pass the exam, the time will not be so tight in the future, so there is no need to bother a few people. If you can't rush this time, it may take a few years before you can try again. Then there will be a lot of time at the same time, and there is no need to bother a few people. But these two sons are not things that are not in the pool. ”

No one objected to this sentence, but he was too smart and had a headache to ask, and he was not able to teach it.

Zheng Lang said again: "Strictly speaking, you are also one of their gentlemen, and in the future, they will soar, and your faces will also be bright." I know it's very difficult to teach them, ladies and gentlemen, and this little bit of silver is a little bit of heart in the later years. ”

"It's not acceptable."

"Don't refuse, I was born late in front of Your Majesty, and I also said that Zilu receives the cow, and the master is Jiazhi. Teaching these two sons is even more hard-working, and several gentlemen deserve it, which is also a matter of praise from the master. ”

These Confucian scholars are not Jinshi, they are just a lifter, and most of them are the same as Chai Keming, who are forced by life to go to the state to study. The situation at home is not very good, Zheng Lang is crowned with the righteousness of the master, and he accepts it after half pushing and half pushing.

That's when he was sent away.

But Zheng Lang didn't blame the two little third sons, he had to ask if he didn't understand, he didn't like Edison's teacher!

It is their stubbornness that is stifled, but it will not stifle their curiosity, which is not beautiful.

But Zheng Lang's two students were very difficult to teach, and they soon spread out.

In the past few months, the little emperor has had a hard time, and no matter what the court does, they are also arguing, and the quarrel makes him tremble, lest he be burned. So I miss Zheng Lang, if he is by my side, talk to him, communicate and enlighten, how good.

Therefore, when I was concerned about Zheng Lang, I heard about the two students. Called Yan Wenying over and asked curiously, "Zheng Jieyuan accepted two elementary school students?" ”

"Yes, I heard that the two sons are very smart, one of them is the nine-year-old child of the Yin family of Sima Mansion who smashed the cylinder to save people, and the other person is not very clear. Because Zheng Jieyuan wanted to prepare for the provincial examination, he temporarily sent it to Zhengzhou State School, but several Confucian students in State School could not teach it. ”

The little emperor became interested and said, "I really want to take a look." ”

"Your Majesty wants to see it, there is a chance. In September, the two empress dowagers were buried in the Yongding Mausoleum, from the capital to Gongxian Road, not far from Zheng Jieyuan's house, His Majesty can call them over to see. ”

"That's a good idea," said the little emperor happily.

Let's take a look at what kind of students Zheng Lang has accepted? It's going to be fun.
