Chapter 22 The words of the Confucian sage, a bunch of nonsense
Scholars don't hear anything outside the window, but they have the only idol, and that is the Confucian sage Kong Zhongshu.
In the eyes of readers, Kong Zhongshu is like a god in the sky, just like Jay Chou is to the post-80s generation and Xu Songzhi is to the post-90s, the status is so irreplaceable.
The inn where Kong Zhongshu stayed is called "Tongfu", and the inside and outside of the Tongfu Inn are wrapped tightly, which is really like a large-scale star-chasing scene.
Countless people held Kong Zhongshu's book "The Words of Zhong Shu" (referred to as "Zhong Yu") and wanted to meet the idols and ask for questions about the doubts in the book, and this book is not so much a book as an ordinary dialogue between him and his disciples.
Some people even highly praised this book: "Half of the "Zhongyu" can rule the world", which shows its high status.
In the three-story building opposite the Tongfu Inn not far away, there are two people overlooking the star-chasing ants from a high place.
The crown prince Xiao Yanrui stood with his hands in his hands, watching every move in the inn with a solemn expression, and at this time, Xiao Yanqi, the king of Qin, came to the third floor with a smile and said, "The prince is so elegant, he actually stole half a day here." ”
After glancing, the prince replied coldly: "You don't do the same. ”
The two of them are in the same boat, and King Qin has long been accustomed to the indifference of the crown prince, so he said indifferently: "Your dog skin plaster...... Why didn't Xiao Yanting follow you? I remember you two being a mess. ”
It is also grotesque to say, during this time, King Zhao Xian went to the prince's mansion, and even if he went, he left in a hurry.
The crown prince was busy competing with King Qin for the place of Kong Zhongshu's disciple, and he was also studying hard every day, and he didn't bother to care what King Zhao was doing.
Seeing that the prince was silent, King Qin sneered: "Xiao Yanting and Xiao Wuxin have been very close recently, when did they hook up?" ”
Hum!
The prince snorted coldly and turned to leave, squinting at the other party: "Instead of caring about others, you should care about yourself, I won't give you the disciple quota tomorrow." ”
"That's what I want to say, I won't show mercy just because you're the prince."
"Then let's see tomorrow." The prince walked to the staircase and suddenly stopped, turned sideways and said, "Take care of your dog and let him stay away from King Zhao, otherwise, I will even kill the dog owner!" ”
Xiao Wuxin is a person from King Qin, and this matter is not a secret, saying that Xiao Wuxin is a dog, so there is no need to say who the owner of the dog is.
The prince who left with cruel words, King Qin looked at the back, his palms were unconsciously clenched, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
......
After resting in the inn for a long time, Kong Zhongshu changed into court clothes and came to the imperial city.
Chengming Palace.
Emperor Zhou cordially received this Confucian master, and the two talked happily until dusk.
Immediately, a banquet was set up in the side hall to entertain them, and all the princes and officials of the five grades in the court were present.
At the banquet, Emperor Zhou proudly introduced the princes to Kong Zhongshu one by one, and asked the princes to toast him to show respect, and at the same time asked them to improvise poems during the toast.
The intention is self-evident.
Kong Zhongshu came here to give lectures and also to select disciples. Emperor Zhou blatantly introduced his son to him, apparently to send some kind of signal.
Kong Zhongshu is not a fool, he understands.
After three rounds of drinking, he was personally sent back to the inn by Yulin Jun.
In the dead of night, it is difficult to find anything else on the streets except the frosty moonlight.
In the middle of the night, suddenly a black shadow lurked from the second floor of the Tongfu Inn, the black shadow's footsteps were slow and fast, as if it was stepping softly, silently.
Until he came to Kong Zhongshu's room and pushed the door in.
An inexplicable cold air hit, Kong Zhongshu suddenly woke up and opened his eyes: "Who! ”
"Me!"
Seeing this person, Kong Zhongshu knelt down.
......
Following.
The blue sky is cloudless, the magpie stands in the treetops and chirps non-stop, as if to welcome the arrival of a happy event, and the carp in the river jumps out of the water and bites the hanging willow buds.
Everything is so beautiful, Xiao Wuxin pushed open the door, yawned lazily, freshened up, ate two bites of breakfast casually, and hurried out with an invitation.
Today there is an important lecture by Kong Zhongshu in the Chongwen Museum, membership system, only those who hold the invitation can enter the museum.
When I came to the Chongwen Museum, a large number of people gathered outside, and I have to say that the power of idols is great, and it is really amazing that the literati can worship it so far.
Under the envious gaze of everyone, Xiao Wuxin took out the invitation and entered smoothly, thinking that there would be few people, but when he entered, he found that the Chongwen Hall was already full.
Come to think of it, the imperial capital is important, there are so many children of high-ranking officials, even if it is a membership system, how can there be fewer personnel?
Xiao Wuxin casually found a place to sit down and quietly waited for Kong Zhongshu to arrive.
About half an hour later, Kong Zhongshu appeared in the Chongwen Pavilion amid the welcome of the mezzanine.
After a while, Kong Zhongshu sat on the rostrum and began to give a passionate lecture.
The theme of this year's event is: Governance and Self-cultivation.
"Politicians, masaya; If you want to do right, the root is Confucianism. The so-called Confucianism is the three outlines and the five constants. The ,...... of governance must be followed"
In the following time, Kong Zhongshu went from the three outlines and five constants, to the way of the world, and then to the key points of governance.
He talked about it, broadcast the orthodoxy of Confucianism, stated the pros and cons of a hundred schools, and finally came to the conclusion that the foundation of a strong country lies in the Confucianism of sole respect.
It's nothing, who made him a Confucian saint.
However, the others also listened very carefully, and did not feel that there was anything wrong with his words at all.
On second thought, Confucianism is an academic that serves the nobility of the empire, how can they oppose it?!
Two hours later, Kong Zhongshu ended his passionate lecture, and concluded the lecture in two words: surrender.
The subjects submit to the Son of Heaven; The son submits to Lao Tzu: the wife submits to her husband.
To put it bluntly, Kong Zhongshu's views are full of servile thinking, and Yanran is the favorite argument of the superiors, so it is no wonder that Emperor Zhou admired Confucianism so much.
"This is the end of the old man's lecture, and everyone can discuss any objections with the old man."
Confucian students, how dare they disagree? Rainbow fart hasn't had time to blow yet? How dare you refute it!
Kong Zhongshu looked around: "Since everyone has no objections, let's move on to the next link." ”
The next link is the most exciting apprenticeship, this time whether it is the prince or the king of Qin, everyone is looking forward to it.
However, at this time, Xiao Wuxin stood up and said, "I have objections. ”
In an instant, everyone looked at it.
Everyone's interest was extinguished, and they were a little unhappy, but then his words completely angered everyone at the scene.
"I think the content of the Master's lecture is simply misleading and nonsense."
Wow!
The audience boiled.
