The atmosphere in Hong Kyung was strange.

The news of Yin Ming's return spread all over the capital, but there was no news in the palace.

As if the emperor didn't know.

And Yin Ming didn't realize it, and led Yang Ziming to preach in the former school palace.

In this preaching, Yin Ming did not end up in person.

Instead, let Yang Ziming deal with it alone.

There is no need to say anything more about Confucian theory, what should be said and what should not be said, Yin Ming has already said it with Yang Ziming.

Now he wants to see Yang Ziming's own attainments.

For three days in a row, Yang Ziming preached under Yin Ming's watchful eye.

Because the news of Huang, Yu, and Xuan came to the three kingdoms.

Half of the people in Hongjing City came and listened carefully to Yang Ziming's preaching.

This made the atmosphere in the entire Hongjing City even more strange, and many people even thought that Yin Ming's return to preach this time was ordered by the emperor.

Feng Xiang and Qinglin Hou finally showed up.

But the two didn't stay long.

After exchanging a few words of greeting with Yin Ming, he left.

Even Qinglin Hou left without asking about Liu Teng's news.

Zhu Mingfei sneered, "The world is so cold, even they have begun to pretend." ”

He can see that the relationship between these two people and Yin Ming is not much.

But even they deliberately became estranged from Yin Ming because of the matter between the emperor and Yin Ming, which shows that this world is hot and cold.

Yin Ming said lightly, "It's just human nature." ”

"Human nature?"

"Is this human?"

Zhu Mingfei asked rhetorically.

I only heard Yin Ming say, "If it were you, on the one hand, your family's great business, and on the other hand, your old days, how would you choose?"

Zhu Mingfei was speechless.

In fact, Feng Xiang and Qinglinhou are already very interesting.

After all, they were always courtiers of the Tang State, officials under the emperor.

They may not be concerned about life and death, but they still have wives and children, and they still have a large family to support them.

If they got too close to Yin Ming at this moment, it would be tantamount to slapping the emperor in the face.

How could the Emperor allow them to continue to be presumptuous under his nose?

Besides, the emperor didn't open his mouth, what could the two of them do?

It's fun to come and say hello.

Zhu Mingfei said, "Even so. ”

"Before righteousness, you should sacrifice your life for righteousness. ”

Zhu Mingfei's attitude suddenly became very resolute.

Confucianism is loyal and respectful.

He felt that since Yin Ming had been kind to the two families before, the two families should continue to be friendly to Yin Ming, so as to echo the Confucian word of loyalty.

If you are friendly with Yin Ming on the one hand, and perfunctory on the other side, wouldn't you be neither affectionate nor righteous?

In this way, what loyalty is there to talk about?

Yin Ming shook his head and said, "You have fallen into the common Confucian way of sages." ”

"What is loyalty, what is righteousness?"

"Is it loyalty to the Lord who sins against oneself for the sake of a relative or friend?"

"Is it righteous to drag down your family for the sake of your friends?"

"In life, the word benevolence and righteousness are not all sages. ”

"When the sages still have the power to weigh the pros and cons and are in a dilemma, let alone us ordinary people?"

"Also, benevolence, righteousness, benevolence, and righteousness, there is no benevolence in the heart, and there is no need to default on the righteousness of the word. ”

Yin Ming didn't think there was anything wrong with what Feng Xiang and Qinglin Hou did.

For the sake of their family, they did not hesitate to be reluctant and perfunctory to the emperor, and they were helpless to say it.

And in this helplessness, they also have to take care of their friendship with themselves.

The benevolence and righteousness in this are really indescribable.

Not everyone can do that.

Although many people can correct their attitude in the face of major rights and wrongs, they often make mistakes when facing the details.

However, Feng Xiang and Qinglin Hou were able to grasp this detail, and neither side was offended, it can be said that they have done everything they could.

What else could they be asked to do?

A clear conscience is enough.

However, Zhu Mingfei still shook his head, "Not everyone has a temperament like you. ”

"It would be better if the world were like you. ”

"But there are tens of thousands of people in the world, all of them are different, if everyone is so perfunctory, isn't it hypocritical?"

When Yin Ming heard this, he looked at him with a smile, "This question is to the point. ”

"It is true that there are different people in the world, so there is a saying that all the ways in the world have their own ways. ”

"Why am I in the Huang National Buddhist Family, in the Xuan National Yin and Yang Family, but in the Yu Country I am just preaching, but I don't have a family?"

"It is precisely because people everywhere are different that all we can do is to bring them the right way for them and let them understand it for themselves. ”

As for what they will eventually become, and how much they can comprehend the sermon we preach, that is their own creation. ”

Yin Ming looked at the students who were quietly listening to Yang Ziming's sermon in the school palace.

"Confucianism teaches by word and deed, and has extremely high requirements for benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith. ”

"Not everyone can achieve benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, we can only let them know that this is part of Confucian culture and needs to be passed on. ”

But we must always believe that if we don't do it, then the word will be lost. ”

But if we do that, at least we do what we are supposed to do, without a guilty conscience, that's all. ”

The so-called benevolence and righteousness are the benevolence of the conscience, and the righteousness of the relative of the conscience.

Only when these two points are truly achieved can Confucianism be successful.

Zhu Mingfei heard this and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Yin Ming didn't bother him, got up and left the school palace.

When he returned to the marshal's mansion, his subordinates came to report that the marshal was invited.

Yin Ming happily went.

"Your Majesty has decreed that Confucianism will be regarded as a national study. ”

Yin Dashuai brought back a blockbuster news!

The emperor actually agreed to enshrine Confucianism as a national study!

That is, the emperor has already agreed to Confucianism in the Tang state!

You must know that when I heard that Yin Ming was preaching in the Tang Kingdom, the emperor ordered Meng Zhengfeng to list more than 100 crimes of Yin Ming, which was to really put Yin Ming to death.

Now, he's given in!

This...

But Yin Ming's face was quite indifferent, "Then?"

"Then Your Majesty asked me to tell you that the head of the Confucian family must be the three princes. ”

Yin Dashuai's voice was slightly weird, not like the majestic voice of the previous Dashuai.

It was Yin Ming, who first smiled when he heard this, and then said, "The emperor really has a good plan." ”

"But I'm afraid his plan is going to fail. ”

"I've decided on the choice of the first leader. ”

As soon as Yin Ming's words fell, Yin Dashuai asked, "Who?"

"Yang Ziming. ”

Yin Ming replied almost without any hesitation.

Yin Dashuai raised his head suddenly, and his slightly cold gaze fell directly on Yin Ming's face.

Yin Ming smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yin Dashuai shook his head and said, "You shouldn't be like this, you know the emperor's temperament." ”

"If Yang Ziming is appointed as the leader, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Confucianism to prevail in the Tang Kingdom. ”
