Chapter Twenty-Nine: Who is the King?

There are 3,000 disciples of Confucius, and 72 sages who have attained them - in fact, those 72 are not necessarily high-quality students, and during this time, there are many people who have been directly scolded by Confucius as "rotten wood" and "villain".

And under the Xun Sect, if you want to say that you have done a serious apprenticeship, the title of master and apprentice is unbreakable, in fact, there are no more than ten people, the senior brother is of course Sima Zhongda, the second senior brother Zhuge Kongming, the third senior brother Guo Boji, and then there is a group of children who will be adults or minors. All the disciples were basically recruited by Xun himself, and he didn't have to be listed on the wall just by the recommendation of relatives and friends.

Just like "the monarch chooses the minister", Shixun has always "chosen the apprentice from the master" and personally selected the disciples, but the standards in the meantime are difficult for outsiders to understand. If you really analyze it one by one, Zhong Da is a eunuch in Hanoi, and he once followed Xun Zhen to Fuguanzhong, then it is very logical that Xun Tong Guò chose him after a long investigation. In comparison, Zhuge Kongming and Guo Boji's backgrounds are relatively low, and it seems that they haven't been together for a long time, so they have to get started......

It was Xun Xin who said that they were all famous figures in history, not only in the history books, but also people whom I respected in my previous life, so I accepted them and taught them—but for this reason, will I sue you?

As for those children, they are either the sons of relatives (such as Chen Jun), or the relatives of protégés and deceased officials (such as Zhang Ji, Sima Yong, Qin Lang), or they are the sons-in-law of Xun Xiang (Xiahou Wei), and Tian Pengzu's identity is slightly special, and it is estimated that when Xun Zhen was guarding Youzhou, he collected the door wall after long-term observation. Zhou Budo is not suspicious, if he only relies on the relationship of his uncle Liu Xian. There's no comparison to these kids (and he's already crowned.) Adulthood. I have to compare with Sima Yi and them), so I can only follow Cao Chong's path.

It was Xunxin who said that you can sign up directly and come to the door, maybe I will accept it on the spot...... But then again, although Zhou Budo has the name of a prodigy, he has just become an adult, and he has never done anything big (the so-called ten strategies for attacking Willow City, will anyone really believe it?). If it weren't for putting you and Cao Chong together. I can't really remember it......

He already had the intention of accepting Zhou Budoubt, but he still wanted to test this child, Naiyun: "If you want to enter my room, it is not easy." "What are your abilities, or what great aptitudes, might make me glad to take you as an apprentice?

Zhou Budo never returned to his seat, so he looked at Shixun head-on, and immediately said: "There is no doubt that the young governor Nanzhou has not known the world's talents, that is, Liu Mu (Liu Biao) in the shogunate in the past." What I see is mediocre, and I don't want to be with it. Therefore, people praise it as sensitive, and they are also crazy in their eyes. Uncle She once wrote to Liu Zichu (Liu Ba), please teach the fool, and Zichu resigned......"

Liu Ba is also a native of Lingling, one of the best celebrities in Jingzhou, Liu Xian once wrote to Liu Ba, asking him to help educate his genius nephew, but Liu Ba replied: "In the past, when I traveled to Jingbei, I was involved in the teacher's door, and the learning of remembering questions was not enough to be famous." There is no Yang Zhu Shoujing's technique inside, there is no wind of Mo Zhai's affairs outside, and the south of the sky is empty. The book is given to make the virtuous nephew destroy the beauty of the phoenix, and the Yu of the bird, how will it enlighten? Ashamed of 'if there is nothing, if it is real', how can it be worthy. "It means that your nephew is too smart, like a phoenix among people, and I'm just a "bird's nest" here, so I can't teach it.

Zhou Budo said, this is not only because I am smart, but also because I am arrogant and have no eyes left, so Liu Ba didn't dare to teach me.

Since even Liu Ba has this attitude, Zhou Budo has a higher self-esteem from then on, until he followed his uncle Liu Xian to the north and arrived in Xudu and Anyi successively, did he begin to wonder if Cao Cao's subordinates were able to be countless people, famous people in the Central Plains, and Tai Ban gathered, is there enough to be a person who is qualified to be my teacher?

"When I first entered Taixue, I was taught by Xu Rendu (Xu Ci), and I thought that Zheng Kangcheng's inheritance would be different from the rotten Confucianism in the world, but it was not enough. Nai sighed that Mr. Kangcheng was dead, and I had nothing to do but be a teacher, and ...... "It's a pity that Zheng Xuan is dead, and it is estimated that no one is qualified to teach me-" When I arrived in Anyi, I had to look forward to the public document, and listen to the lecture because of fate, and those who know the well frog but do not know the sea are ashamed to ...... it."

When Shixun heard this, he said in his heart that you are not crazy, and the whole child is a sycophant. This set of words, first suppressed and then raised, saying that he was young and intelligent, and arrogant, even Liu Ba didn't dare to teach, even Xu Ci was not in his eyes, and he had to start Zheng Xuan underground to be qualified to teach him this handsome talent; Then I suddenly made a turn, saying that only you are the real scholar, I read your book, and came to rub a few big lessons, only to realize that I used to be just a frog at the bottom of the well, only to see a small side of the blue sky.

Only you can truly receive the mantle of Zheng Xuan and be the leader of the world's classics. You are much more powerful than Liu Ba, so Liu Ba doesn't dare to teach me, you must dare to teach - if you don't accept me, it means that your knowledge and heart are not as big as Liu Ba's!

It's Xun Xin who said that Lao Tzu won't eat you! Lao Tzu has a few catties and a few taels, and he knows very well in his heart, if he talks about real talent and real learning, let alone Liu Ba and Xu Ci, I may not even be able to compare with Sun Qian. In the past ten years, as the reputation has gradually become louder and the status has gradually climbed, when will all the sycophants not eat ten or eight of them? If I had been fluttering like this, the truth of the copyist would have been revealed a long time ago! Boy, sycophants are useless, you better say something real-

So he twisted his beard and chuckled silently, but he just looked at Zhou without doubt, which meant a long time.

Zhou Bu doubted that Shi Xun did not answer, neither received it, nor humbly retreated, so he said: "It is a public opinion, not only Mr. Kangcheng, but from the ancient texts, and set up a separate family." There is no doubt that the involvement is still shallow, and the teachings have not been listened to, so I have to take a peek at one or two ears, is the public willing to listen? ”

When Shixun heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, but then he relaxed again. The ideas he sells and advocates everywhere not only borrow the banner of ancient texts and Zheng Xue, but also put on the tiger skin of Confucianism to expound his family's words, but he categorically drinks it in person, and he is only one person, so it was a little scary at first. But if you think about it again, are all the corporals and scholars in the world blind? Some people must have seen it a long time ago, but it was just because of their prestige and status, and they were inconvenient or afraid to say it clearly.

If the apprentice has no status, he will be accused of heresy, and scolded for breaking the patriarchal and family law, but what if the apprentice has status? I'm afraid everyone will say that this is "blue out of blue and better than blue", and his ancestors did not try to express the meaning of it.

Therefore, Zhou Budo said that "from the ancient texts of the present, and do not set up a family", I am afraid that he may not be bluntly saying that his ideas are not in line with the ancestors, but he just continues to pat himself on the back, saying that he is always the director of the sages and is enough to stand on his own. Okay, then I'll hear what you mean by that? How much can you understand my philosophy-" Yuan Zhike said bluntly. ”

Zhou Budo nodded, raised his hand slightly, and began to talk eloquently: "I don't doubt that it is a public school, and it must be in three." One of them is the general ancient text, exegesizing the classics without sticking to the classics, admiring the saints without blindly following the saints, and expounding the unspoken words of the predecessors according to the time and situation...... "The modern literary school is superstitious and proverbial, and Confucius is the first saint, which is relatively dogmatic; The ancient literature school opposed the Wei Wei and regarded Confucius as the first teacher, and inherited the way of "Zhou Gong", but the words of Zhou Gong were not clearly recorded, so the ancient literature followed the general Confucian concept rather than the specific words and deeds of one or two people, and the thinking was relatively broad. Naturally, not to mention Shixun, he simply "commented on me in the Six Classics", using the classics as a guise to explain his own philosophy.

That's what Zhou Budo said. To put it bluntly: Shixun is not superstitious, not rigid, knows how to adapt to the time and place, and pays attention to "advancing with the times".

And then -- "Second, it is important to be more important than to speak falsely, and to serve the country, so that whatever the words of the Holy Place are not in accordance with the times, they can be discarded, and they will not speak of the selfish desires of men, but from their selfish desires to the way of heaven." This is very clear, it is the concept advocated by Xun, and the taste of pragmatism is strong, and he never abandons the way of governing the country and delves into the pile of old papers.

In fact, Confucianism is purely studied as a kind of philosophical and ethical thought, and does not connect it with the actual society, whether it is modern or ancient, there is a similar tendency, which is a common disease of Han Confucianism. Zhou Budo said, you do not shy away from your words, do not make false words, and the ideas you expound are all dependent on the needs of governing the country.

"Third, the study of Mencius, the use of miscellaneous overlords, and the purpose of the Ming monarch to ignore the people. He is a saint by nature, not a religious people, a natural monarch, not a ruler, and a ...... to support the people."

The first two points he said were heard by Xun with relish, and he felt like he was scratched by the itch - Lao Tzu tampered with the classics for so many years, and finally stopped falling into the dark, and came out with a person who knew the goods - but when he heard this third point, he couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately raised his eyebrows, interrupting Zhou Budo's words: "And what I said, but in terms of Yuan Intuitive, who is the king?" "What kind of existence does the monarch have, tell me your own thoughts.

Zhou Budo's spirit suddenly perked up, and he opened his mouth and replied: "The people have their own desires, and if they clash with each other, there will be disputes. The king is to the people, as the shepherd is to the officials, and the pawn is the pawn, there is a difference between the top and the bottom and there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority. The shepherd does not know what his officials want, and he will be defeated; will not be able to fall for his love, and he will die. The reason why this gentleman is lighter than the people. ”

Shi Xun frowned: "What is this Yuan Zhi thinking?" Or is it the righteousness of what I say? ”

Zhou Budo replied: "There is no doubt that it is shallow, but it is a public opinion, although this is not what the public says, but the intention is slightly understandable." I don't doubt that the public has scruples, so I don't dare to say it openly. "This is both my idea and your meaning, but you probably have some concerns and don't dare to say it so clearly.

Shi Xun patted the table lightly: "Yuan Zhi, this is not my intention." Words can not be extreme, actions must not be fast, words must be destroyed, actions must be rushed, to be in the mean, for scholars can not gallop and think, and beyond the world! ”

Zhou Budo hurriedly bowed down: "It's a public religion, don't doubt it." ”

It was Xun who stared at Zhou Budo's expression without blinking, and said in his heart Is this your kid's true words? I know why Cao Cao killed you! (To be continued......)
