Chapter 314: Xunzi Four Paths
Fang Yun said: "The Kong family did this for me, will it hurt the Xun family?"
"Since our Kong family has done it, we don't care about the Xun family's reaction!" Kong De said proudly.
When Fang Yun heard this, he nodded and said, "It is worthy of being the first family, since you say so, I am relieved." Now I am afraid that the Xun family will be annoyed and angry. ”
"Since our Kong family has made a move, the Xun family will inevitably lose face, and the dignified Yasheng family will not swallow their anger, and it is impossible to deal with my Kong family, they will inevitably target you, but the good thing is that they will inevitably be more careful. However, the Kong family's gift to you is a reward for you in the Holy Ruins, and this time to maintain you, you can't be maintained everywhere. The reason why the head of the family said that he was sending you to 'Yuhai City' instead of going to 'Xizhou' was to save face for the Xun family. ”
Fang Yun said: "I understand this, after all, the Kong family wants a bowl of water to be leveled, the Xun family is only blocking me instead of killing me, and even the saints are not good at punishing the Xun family." It's just that even if the dignified Yasheng family doesn't use the means of yin damage, it is very difficult, after all, the power has reached a certain level, and there are too many manpower and material resources that can be used. For example, this time I was prevented from entering the Holy Courtyard, in one sentence. ”
"However, the boss of the Xun family does not support and is hostile to you. He...... How to say it, I was too deeply influenced by Xunzi. Xunzi has four paths, 'Heaven and man are separated', 'Sex is faked', 'Names make the group' and 'Void and quiet'. It is difficult for the descendants of the Xun family to learn all four methods, and the fourth method is even more difficult to learn, so most of them only choose one of the first three to learn. The boss of the Xun family has studied 'sex and hypocrisy', and his attainments are very profound, even if you say that 'sex is good' conflicts with what he has learned, he is still not hostile to you. ”
Fang Yundao: "I understand that the four words 'turning nature into fake' mean that people should change their nature and improve their own realm through human efforts. This leads to the question that Xunzi believes that sex is inherently evil, but it can be changed through human efforts. If Mr. Xun Da is really proficient in 'dissolving sexuality', then he will not care too much about whether I think sex is good or evil, but pay more attention to whether I have achieved improvement through my own efforts. ”
"Obviously. You are improving step by step, which is completely in line with the 'transformation of nature and hypocrisy', so Mr. Xun Da even praised your poems in private. Comte argued.
Fang Yun asked, "Then has Mr. Xun Da cultivated the 'Title Envoy Group'?"
"The name makes the group too complicated, and there are noble and low, division of labor, and intimacy, but this is only the foundation, and the more important thing is the way to govern the country, the system of the country, and the embodiment of the gift of Xunzi. Xunzi's heavy gift is laid by the 'fame envoy'. Mr. Xun did not cultivate this way, but the third and fourth elders of the Xun family all practiced this way, and the second Mr. practiced 'the division of heaven and man'. ”
Fang Yundao: "It's a pity that I can't see the original "Xunzi", I am very interested in the void and quiet, which is the strongest way for Xunzi in his later years." This emptiness and tranquility can allow people to maintain a humble and single-minded attitude, so as to see the most essential and true qiē. Xunzi was able to be canonized as a saint at that time. I think the main reason is that at that time he realized the emptiness and tranquility. ”
"Yes. There is a semi-holy saying, Xunzi's descendants only cultivate the first three paths and do not cultivate the 'void one and quiet', they will inevitably take a fork in the road, Xun Ye is. I only know the high and the low, but I don't know the nothing. The first three ways of Xunzi are controversial, but no one questions the virtual one and quiet, especially the "Persuasion Chapter", which is the initial embodiment of the virtual one and quiet. The words are beautiful, and the recitation is full of fragrance. ”
Fang Yun's mind involuntarily appeared words and phrases such as "perseverance" and "green out of blue", all of which originated from "Persuasion".
"It's a pity. Xun Sheng is too ...... Direct. Comte argued.
Fang Yun said with a smile: "Not to mention it directly, I don't mention the idea of scolding Mozi as a beast, and directly saying in my book that Mencius's nature is good is wrong, which has triggered a dispute between good and evil for nearly a thousand years, and there is still no conclusion." It wasn't until before the fall of the saint that Xun Sheng gave up criticizing the saint. It's a pity that although he took the Longevity Divine Fruit, he was injured while traveling and died early. ”
"I don't think you seem to like the 'Celebrity Messengers'?"
Fang Yun was silent for a moment and said: "I agree that there is a difference between intimacy and alienation, and I also agree that there is a division of labor between people, as for the rest, it is inconvenient to say more." ”
Kong De Yan smiled slightly, Fang Yun never mentioned the noble and low, which is enough to explain a qiē.
"What about good and evil?"
"I don't think there's any need to fight, anyway, no matter whether it's good or evil, since Mencius and Xunzi think that the day after tomorrow can be improved, then we should pay attention to how to improve, there is no need to fight for what was originally done. Fang Yundao.
Kong De nodded and said, "The way of emptiness and tranquility is not in the Xun family. Before Xun Sheng died, he put the relevant classics in the Holy Courtyard. Disciples of the Xun family can read it, but non-Xun disciples must have enough military merits to read. When you get to Hanlin, you may be able to take a look. ”
"Well, I remember. Fang Yundao.
"Shoulu has been looking here, it seems that he has something to do with you, you can go. Comte argued.
Fang Yun nodded and walked towards Han Shoulu.
"Fang Yun. Comte shouted behind him.
Fang Yun turned his head and looked at the firm gaze of Kong De.
"My talent is not as good as yours, and I will definitely be inferior to you in the future, but after all, I have been in the Kong family for many years. Sometimes, you should dare to raise your pen as you do today, even if the other party is a sage. ”
Fang Yun was stunned for a moment, realizing what the Dao Kong De Theory meant, Zheng nodded his head, smiled slightly, and turned to walk towards Han Shoulu.
Kong Delun looked at Fang Yun's back and showed a faint smile.
Han Shoulu greeted him and said happily: "The third uncle is coming to escort you back to Yuhai City." ”
Fang Yun immediately said: "I will definitely thank him when the old man comes." ”
"Don't, the third uncle has a very stubborn temper, you are a scholar and personally try and investigate cases, most of our legalists pay attention to legislation and trial cases, he is good, he likes to investigate cases the most. The head of the family was afraid that there would be a demon attack on the way, so he asked him to escort him, so I can rest assured, his strength is slightly inferior to Jian Mei Gong, but in terms of experience, it is higher than Jian Mei Gong, with him, we can sit back and relax. ”
At this time, Hua Yuqing interjected: "My fourth uncle is coming, and a medical friend from the Zhang Shengshi family is coming with my fourth uncle. ”
"Fang Yun, do you remember the old man who gave you his hand-copied "The Art of War" and "Sun Bin's Art of War" at the Mid-Autumn Festival? That's my third uncle, he is also going to Yuhai City, and he will be there soon with us. Sun Naiyong's "Yuhai" was extremely pronounced, and the people on the side laughed secretly, saying that they were going to Yuhai, but in fact, they were going to Xizhou for Fang Yun.
"The Meng family is also coming. ”
After a while, these friends of Fang Yun successively said that some people wanted to go to Yuhai City together, some were their relatives, and some were celebrities who were not deeply related.
Fang Yun stood outside the east gate and waited, and a quarter of an hour later, seven scholars, twelve Hanlin, and more than twenty scholars arrived one after another.
Those scholars and Hanlin were all here to escort him, and there was no problem at all, but the more than twenty jinshi made Fang Yun cry and laugh, obviously just to see the excitement, but these people seemed to be dissatisfied with the Xun family, and Fang Yun didn't let them leave.
As soon as the hour came, a pale golden holy page appeared in the hand of one of the Confucian scholars. (To be continued......)
