The wedding that was a little too lively because of the vision from the sky was over, and Li Shushi, who felt that there was no need to stay, decided to say goodbye to Zhen Yi and Zhen Yan, who officially took over as the head of the Zhen family after the wedding, and then went home. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)

Because Zhen Yi had already confirmed the decision at the family meeting that the Zhen family would split up to a limited extent, although Zhen Yan still had a somewhat uneasy look on his face, he did not make any drastic moves. Instead, he called the third brother Zhen Yao, who was about to follow Li Shushi to Xihe, to his side, and he didn't know what to say. However, judging from Zhen Yao's serious attitude and the way he nodded from time to time, it should be the way of being an official passed down by some children of the family. It seems that the relationship between the brothers and sisters of the Zhen family is good.

"Yarao, it is a very good opportunity for you to go to Xihe to learn from Lu Zigan. Na Lu Zigan is a senior disciple of the great Confucian Ma Rong, the junior disciple of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, and has been studying in the Dongguan School for many years, and is a great Confucian who is no less knowledgeable than his master and brother. Learn from him, you have to forget the delusion of obtaining high-ranking officials and concentrate on learning knowledge, which is the best way for the family to survive. ”

Zhen Yi also gave Zhen Yao a summary and admonishment at the end, especially telling him not to think about how big an official he could be, but to learn more about various knowledge and skills, and strive to become a Confucian who can write works that will be handed down to future generations.

Zhen Yi's words were not casually said, but meant something. And this involves the biggest political struggle between the upper echelons of the Han Dynasty from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present. It is not eunuchs and relatives, nor eunuchs and celebrities, but a dispute over Taoism.

The ideological struggle has always been more ferocious and tragic than the struggle of the **. Because for those who are faithful, the torture of ** is nothing, even in the Han Dynasty, the number of those dead and righteous soldiers is not much less than that of the Republic of China, for example, Chen Yi that Li Shushi saw at the wedding banquet was protected by a group of righteous people and grew up.

But the mental battle is completely different, if one of them loses, it is equivalent to their own ideas are completely overturned, and people who suffer such blows usually have only two ends, either schizophrenia and become an antisocial thug or become a walking corpse, living in this world like the living dead.

And now the Han is engaged in such a fierce war from the spiritual level.

The name of this war is called the Controversy over Ancient and Modern Texts and Classics.

A lot of things in the Eastern Han Dynasty can be pulled to the head of the Western Han Dynasty, plus Wang Mang's rebellion is not too long, in fact, you can put the East and West Han Dynasty together. Although it is said that because of the problem of bloodline, the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty did not want to be like Li Tang, even after the truncation of Wu Zhou, it was still not divided into the former and former Tang.

Just like this controversy over ancient texts and scriptures, if you want to trace back to the roots, it can be pushed back from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the founding of the Western Han Dynasty.

Well, it was before this, because the fuse of this incident was still our first emperor Yingzheng children's shoes.

Our first emperor V5 domineering is not to say, because the Qin State has tasted the sweetness of standardization, so he likes to standardize everything, from the book to the car on the same track, all the way to the ultimate ideological unity.

It's not easy to unify thoughts, and it seems to be even more difficult to do, so what kind of amazing way will our V5 domineering first emperor have?

It may be a disappointment, and the answer is: no. Although our First Emperor V5 is extremely domineering, in front of the most complex brain in the world, it is estimated that the First Emperor has not even studied the piece of his own body, let alone the microcurrent signal generated by the unification of millions of structures that are estimated to be not much simpler than his lump.

Of course, this is not to say that Yingzheng has no way to do children's shoes, but that his method is so normal and ordinary that it makes people sigh incomparably. What's his solution? His method has become well-known to the Chinese through Sima Qian's pen, that is, book burning.

If the Confucianism of the pit is still to be discussed, then Ying Zhengtong's shoes are out of the way in the matter of book burning, and he ordered the confiscation of the books scattered among the people in the Six Kingdoms, and burned them that were not conducive to himself, and sent them to the Great Qin National Library for the academicians of the Great Qin National Academy of Sciences (that is, those doctors of the Qin Dynasty who specialized in teaching knowledge in official schools) to study and comprehend.

Considering the bad relationship between Confucianism and the primitive Legalists represented by Confucius (that is, the wild Legalists before the Xun Dynasty Dacheng, such as Shang Ying), especially Confucius's concept of "benevolence, careful killing" and Qin's ruling policy of increasing the cost of crime to reduce crime that has been handed down since the Shang Dynasty reformed the law, is completely at odds with each other, plus it is propaganda for the enemy country, so I am afraid that all kinds of rhetoric about the Great Qin Empire are indispensable in those Confucian classics.

Moreover, at that time, there was also a struggle for the ruling line and ruling power between the Qin Legalists led by Li Si and the Confucian scholars of the Six Kingdoms. So a vigorous confiscation campaign began as if it were a special period.

The First Emperor won, so Great Qin began with only one thought, only one voice, and only one library. Then this library became the best firewood for Xiang Yu to light the fire. Although Xiao He should have snatched out a lot before, it was mainly the household registration for administrative purposes and the geographical atlas of mountains and rivers, and most of the books were destroyed by Xiang Yu, a guy who killed a thousand knives no matter how he looked at it.

As a result, after the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, everyone suddenly discovered that the original Han Dynasty couldn't even get all the university lecture notes, and a lot of knowledge only knew the title of the book, as for what the book looked like, it was completely unseen. What can I do?

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, so the Han Dynasty ordered, as long as you have the books that the Han Dynasty needs in your hands or in your head, no matter where you are, you will have the opportunity to enter the National Academy of Sciences to work, public institutions, all kinds of benefits, and even special car pick-up.

As a result, lucky people continued to enter the bureaucratic system of the Han Dynasty, and the officially recognized textbooks of the Han Dynasty written by these people in the Han language based on the books they kept in their hands or the memories in their minds were the basis of today's literature and classics.

Because of the abundance of rewards, the National Library of Dahan soon became larger after several generations of accumulation, and those who like knowledge can enjoy swimming in it. It's just that because more and more people are swimming, problems also arise.

Because many people find that the knowledge they have learned from the official doctors of the Han Dynasty (that is, the academicians of the Academy of Sciences) seems to be incomplete, and the contents of many books in the library are unheard of and unseen, so they begin to wonder if the things taught by their own masters are scattered, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Among them, the most famous pioneer official was Liu Xin during the period of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, a man with extensive knowledge but very different historical evaluations.

The first thing to explain is that this person's background is very good, and he is a relative of the Han family, but the relationship is relatively distant. His father was a well-educated Confucian scholar and the first scholar in China to compile books into the city catalogue, so Liu Xin was outstanding in terms of family studies, not to mention that he later inherited his father's position as the manager of the Han National Library.

It was this father and son who proposed that the ancient classics were probably much richer than those circulated in the contemporary (Han Dynasty), so scholars should study mainly the ancient classics they discovered, supplemented by the records of Confucian ears and dictations. This is also the origin of ancient scriptures, and modern scriptures are nouns produced relative to ancient scriptures. As a result, the two schools of thought began to take shape.

However, this mention was first opposed by those Confucian scholars who had already become doctors, after all, if that was the case, they would obviously be swept into the garbage heap of history and become useless wasters, and those with vested interests would naturally be dissatisfied.

And there is another problem that is Liu Xin's own character. It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Liu Xin is very knowledgeable but has a very bad character, and his favorite thing to do is to carry private goods. That is, the examples that he came up with to prove that the academic works of the pre-Qin period were indeed rich in content were mixed with many of his personal articles and opinions.

Whether it's true or not, we don't care, after all, the opponents sneered at him, and the supporters treated him like a sage, so the truth of history has long been buried under the stone in the mud of the long river of history.

However, because of the opposition of these vested interests of the modern school of literature and classics, the so-called reform of ancient literature and classics came to an end.

It's just that something has changed when it comes to the new mang. Wang Mang's usurpation of power naturally could not adopt the theory of the rulers of the Han Dynasty, so in order to suppress the modern school of literature and classics, ancient literature and classics officially became a cultural school recognized by the state. Then Liu Xiu defeated Wang Mang, and Liu Xiu, who liked to work against Wang Mang, naturally could not admit the enemy's doctrine, so the current literature and scriptures re-emerged.

But after such a toss, this scripture has changed a little. Why? The bad is in the weft.

The ancients had a cloud: Gaozu beheaded the White Snake Uprising, which was called the Red Emperor and the White Emperor. Later, there were even more dreams of swallowing the sun, moon, stars or something, and there were countless such as the long rainbow through the sun, the comet transit, and so on, and children's folk songs emerged in endlessly.

In order to flaunt the legitimacy of his own Han dynasty, Wang Mang naturally wanted to create a set of theories to argue that he should rule on behalf of the Han dynasty.

But since you did the first year of junior high school, then don't worry about us doing fifteen, so those opponents also came up with a set of theories. The most typical is Wang Mang's countenance, which was obviously the appearance of a very virtuous man when he was a humble corporal. And after his ambitions were buried with his time, there was rumor that he was a man with a huge mouth, short jaw, baring eyes, and a loud, hoarse voice.

It's naturally annoying to have too many words, but because it is still a knowledge admired by the ruling scholars, it is very difficult to oppose it, so the suppressed scholars of ancient scriptures decided to adopt the way of saving the country by curves to achieve their goals.

As a result, they actively entered the modern literature and classics, and became Confucian scholars who studied the past and the present. Although he did not obtain a high official position, he became a great Confucian admired in the Confucian forest by virtue of his learning, and the prestige of the people surpassed that of those Confucian scholars who studied literature and scriptures today. Among them, Zheng Xing, Jia Kui (Fufeng), Ma Rong, and Zheng Xuan are the most. Although Lu Zhi is a little worse than the previous ones, he is also an extremely rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs, so Zhen Yicai moved the idea of sending his son to study.

By the way, the mainstream of the court is still controlled by Confucian scholars in today's literature and classics, such as the Yuan family in Runan, and the Hongnong Yang family (these two are targets anyway, basically the bureaucracy of the Han Dynasty is inseparable).

That's why Zhen Yi warned his son to go to Lu Zhi to study, don't think about how big an official he can be, and the knowledge that can be passed on is the most important. Of course, one reason that Zhen Yi didn't want to say was that Kong Guang, the father-in-law of Zhen Han, the ancestor of the Zhen family, was Wang Mang's right-hand man, and the founding of the ancient literature and scriptures also had the credit of this person, so it's just inheritance, inheritance......

In the end, when he was leaving, Zhen Yan secretly told Li Shushi, saying that Zhongshan had heard of Li Shushi's name for a long time, but he was too busy with military affairs to come, so he asked someone to write to Zhen Yan, hoping to say hello to Li Shushi through him and meet him.

So, after adding a few more drag oil bottles, the disturbing trip was over.

P.S. The controversy between modern and ancient scriptures is certainly not as simple as we say, at least Professor Bian Jiazhen, who teaches Chinese at our university, gave us a book on this subject that he wrote, and this is only the words of one family. So, in fact, if this sprinkling chapter is summed up, it will be one sentence - for the protagonist's future politics, digging holes and burying pipes......
