Chapter 462: Return the Gift
"Ah, it's only been two years to delay the entrance examination? This is not much different from no punishment, you are so young, even if you postpone it for five years, it is nothing. Fang Daniu wondered.
"Two years is enough time for many variables to happen. If it is a private visit by Prime Minister Zuo, it doesn't matter if I don't return the salute, but he leads the private soldiers to pay a visit, and this gift must be returned. Did he give a generous gift?" Fang Yun said.
Fang Daniu said: "Yes, I sent a pair of blood jade carp, which is just like a real red carp." ”
Sure enough, the gift had to be returned. Let's go home first. ”
"Yes, sir. There were suddenly more invitations in the afternoon today, and in the afternoon, several ladies from the other upper houses gathered in our house, and kept praising how great the old man was, and the lady smiled from ear to ear, and even the slaves were very happy. Fang Da Niu said and went to pull the reins of the horse and let the carriage stop.
"Hmm. Fang Yun got out of the car, a white shadow came out, and the little meteor slowly followed out, circling around Fang Yun.
Fang Yun walked into the room with the slave in his arms, chatted with Yang Yuhuan for a few words, and asked Zuo Xiang how he came, it turned out that Zuo Xiang first said congratulations and praised Fang Yun, and then said that there was something to discuss, but he did not tell Yang Yuhuan what he had done.
Sitting on the chair, Fang Yun did not move the invitation to fill the table, but thought about Zuo Xiang's intention.
"The court meeting was suspended because of my skyfall, and then the left phase came to the door, whether it was virtual or real, I don't know. Liushan is not a one-person Liushan, there are miscellaneous families behind him, and there are saints. I am already close to him, what is his intention for this visit?"
Fang Yun thought about it for a long time, thought of many possibilities, and finally removed the possibility of "reconciliation", and found that all possibilities were not beneficial, but most of them were harmful.
"There is no turning back from the arrow, since it has been chosen a long time ago, it is necessary to go down this path, and any hesitation will have unpredictable consequences. The contradiction between the miscellaneous family and me has essentially involved the dispute over the Holy Path. The struggle for the Holy Way was more brutal than the commercial wars, military wars, and political battles. If there is a slight problem at a critical time, it is the death of the body and the collapse of the holy path. So many families are betting on me, and the Jingguo military and the literary department all think that I am their own person, and if I make the slightest change, I will be completely isolated. ”
"What's more, the path chosen by the miscellaneous family has been proven impossible by countless forces in later generations, and it must be separated from the left minister!"
"Whatever the prime minister wants to talk to me about, I must not talk. However, when the left minister and the dignified scholar personally visited. This gift must be returned. ”
Fang Yun thought of the sharpest contradiction in the Shengyuan Continent now, the dispute between etiquette and law.
The source of Legalism can be traced directly to Guan Zhong, but Guan Zhong's inheritance was interrupted, and then Confucius was canonized, until the appearance of Xunzi and Li Kui, plus the disciples of the two, the Legalist thought was gradually perfected.
However, Xunzi and Li Kui's teachers are actually from the line of Confucius, so later generations of Legalists have recognized that the law comes from "rites", but with the development of the human race. The increasingly important role of the "law" has made the Legalist saints have higher demands, wanting to improve the status of the law and be on a par with the "rites".
This is an unacceptable fact for the rest of the world. But Fang Yun did not object in his heart, after all, a sound society under the rule of law is obviously more able to promote human development.
It's just that the concept of rites is too broad and involves heaven and earth. It plays a vital role in the Shengyuan Continent, and its status is still unshakable.
Even if Fang Yun is now the first person of the younger generation, the credit is huge. It's just that because Yang Yu is more important than the women of the Holy Family, he angered a group of old scholars, and has been rejected by the "Rite Hall" of the Holy Courtyard so far.
After figuring it out, Fang Yun went to Yang Yuhuan to negotiate, and found some gifts equivalent to the blood jade carp to pack and sort out.
After that, Fang Yun picked up a few pages of the summary of the meeting and read.
All incumbent officials of the fifth rank or above, and retired officials of the third rank or above, will receive a paper summary of today's court meeting in the capital, and a copy of the summons outside the capital.
The Great Dynasty is generally held on the third, sixth and ninth days of every decade, while the Small Dynasty is held irregularly, and if there is a major event, an emergency court meeting will be held.
Fang Yun looked through the summary of today's emergency court meeting, and at the beginning of the court meeting, some appointments and dismissals, appropriations, transfers, policies, etc., and the later excerpts were excerpted from the ministers discussing how to reward him, but it was interrupted because of the sky, and it was re-agreed tomorrow.
In the early morning of the second day, Fang Yun sent Fang Da Niu out to inquire.
Soon after, Fang Daniu came back to report.
"Master, Zuo Xiang has already gone to the Yunuan Pavilion, and at this time, I am afraid that he has already gone to the court with the ministers. ”
"Well, let's go, bring a gift to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
"Huh, yes!"
Fang Daniu looked confused and hurriedly went to prepare the car.
The September morning breeze was cool, and Fang Yun sat in the carriage, quietly looking out the window through the window.
Not long after, the carriage of the Fang family stopped in front of the Zuo Xiangfu, and Fang Daniu put the gift box on the car, took Fang Yun's greetings, and stepped forward to knock on the door.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The beast-faced tin knocker knocked on the vermilion door, making a crisp sound.
One side door opened, and a dignified-looking middle-aged man appeared, dressed in a dark blue children's uniform.
Without waiting for the middle-aged man to speak, Fang Daniu bowed slightly and said, "The Holy Front Lifter, the Cabinet Walk, and the Wenhou Fang Yun came to visit Lord Zuo Xiang. As he spoke, he handed the prayer note out.
The porter's face remained unchanged, he took the prayer post with both hands and took a closer look, then looked at Fang Yun who was standing under the steps in front of the door, bent down and saluted: "The little one has seen Lord Wenhou." The left minister is going to the court, please come in and wait. ”
Fang Yun said: "Since Lord Zuo Xiang is not at home, then I will come back another day." Fang Yun turned around and entered the carriage cleanly.
The concierge of the Liu family, Fang Daniu and the coachman looked at the shaking curtain together, dumbfounded, this is too simple.
"Present the gift. Fang Yundao.
"Oh, yes!" Fang Daniu hurriedly ran a few steps, picked up the gift box and ran back to the door, and handed the gift box to the porter.
"Get in the car and go home. Fang Yundao.
When the coachman saw that there was a problem, he didn't say a word, and immediately rushed to the car, and Fang Daniu hurriedly jumped into the car.
After driving for a while, Fang Daniu reacted and muttered in a low voice: "The mind of the reader is too much, it turned out that he deliberately looked for a return visit when Zuo Xiang was not at home, and it didn't matter if he saw him or not, anyway, when the person arrived, he returned the courtesy." ”
After Fang Yun returned home, he officially went to the school palace to report, received all kinds of necessary things for new students, and then returned to the first house.
Fang Yun accepted Qiao Juze's construction, and did not deliberately target the Ten Kingdoms. You should study for the Jinshi Examination, and there are less than three months before the Jinshi Examination, whether you can become the first Huiyuan is very important, and whether you can become the champion in the palace examination is the most important thing.
The champion can get the prosperity that only a university scholar can have in advance, which is the most important point, and the comparison between a Jinshi or Hanlin who has a high level of progress and no is almost the same.
Fang Yun first taught the teaching guide for the speed reading class of one glance and ten lines.
The Ten Kingdoms have long had a relatively complete education system, and although the content of the main course is the scriptures of the saints, the teaching materials are various types of books such as biographies, commentaries, and sparses, which are explanatory and explanatory textbooks. It is a bridge for students to the scriptures of all saints.
Fang Yun carefully read the teaching guide and found that this thing was similar to the teacher's teaching objectives and exam points, he would definitely not pay attention to this thing before, but with the improvement of his academic position, his horizons have increased, and he realizes that this thing is very important.
The most basic application of the teaching guide is to know what is tested in the internal examination of the school palace, and many students can see it, but Fang Yun can see at a glance that this is the teaching guide. It's the vein of the Holy Dao!
Because those who can compile the textbooks of the academy are at least Confucians, and scholars are not qualified to meddle in the textbooks of this level.
If the Great Confucian has a deep understanding of which part of the Holy Dao, then the content of the textbook he compiled will naturally focus on it.
The Word is great. Fang Yun knew that he was not qualified to touch it, at least he had to become a scholar, but everything he knew and learned was to prepare for touching the Holy Dao in the future. They are all cornerstones of different sizes.
Whether or not you can touch the Holy Way does not depend on the last outstretched hand of the Holy Dao, but on the cornerstones under your feet.
But. The direction and method of stacking the cornerstone are important.
What to learn is very important.
After Fang Yun finished reading the teaching guide at a glance and ten lines, he quickly read through all the textbooks, and after reading, the same book appeared in the world of strange books.
Fang Yun closed his eyes and sat down, and the first three volumes of "Spring and Autumn Left Justice" appeared in front of him.
"Spring and Autumn" is a historical book compiled by Confucius, because it was written by a sage, so it is called "classic" or "classic", and "Spring and Autumn Zuo's Biography" is a historical book that supplements and expands "Spring and Autumn".
Subsequently, Jiang Hechuan, the minister of Jingguo, explained the "Spring and Autumn Zuo's Sutra Collection and Interpretation", and the formation was "Spring and Autumn Zuo Chuan Justice", which explained the style of "Note" called Shu, and justice is a kind of Shu.
Fang Yun looked at "Spring and Autumn Zuo Chuan Justice" with some envy, once he is qualified to write "Shu", it is to touch the Holy Dao, if he can directly write a biography, annotation or interpretation of the holy scriptures, it is the highest state of Confucianism, Wenzong.
Once you have established your holy way and written a "scripture" or "canon", you will be sanctified on the ground.
If you can't write a "scripture" or a "canon", you can't be canonized for the rest of your life.
Although "Zuo Chuan" is a supplement and commentary on "Spring and Autumn", it is also a "classic".
Fang Yun accidentally said Zhu Xi's famous saying before, "If there is one, change it, and if there is none, it will be encouraged", which is actually a commentary on the sentences in the "Analects", and Zhu Xi's understanding of the "Analects" is very deep, so it will form the sound of the Holy Dao, and finally form the vision of the fish leaping into the dragon gate.
When you reach the realm of Great Confucianism, if the battle poems are strong, it is better, and if the war poems are not strong, as long as you recite your own commentaries on the holy scriptures and show the power of the holy way, it is enough to compete with the demons of the same level.
However, whether it is the holy scriptures or the power of the Holy Dao, they are all more than "strong" and "powerful" enough, even the art of war of the soldiers is "planning" for the first and "killing" second, so the human race needs war poetry to make up for the shortcomings of the Holy Dao in this regard.
Subsequently, Fang Yun began to read "Spring and Autumn Zuo Chuan Justice" carefully, and then cooperated with the teaching guide to draw the key parts, and after a little analysis, you could find the parts of the Holy Dao that Jiang Hechuan was proficient in, and Fang Yun immediately gave up those unimportant parts and tasted the important parts repeatedly.
At this time, Fang Yun no longer studied for exams, but for the Holy Dao, for the sake of more and firmer foundations under his feet. (To be continued......)
