Next, Yang Ci took the test for Wu Yong's several famous sentences in "Shangshu", and Wu Yong calmly answered them one by one, which made Yang Ci nod his head frequently in approval.

He didn't expect Wu Yong to have such a deep insight into "Shangshu" at a young age, and he was worried that Wu Yong was from the countryside and had never been exposed to Jingyi.

Now it seems that although he is younger than the Son of Heaven, his knowledge is much higher than that of the Son of Heaven. At the same time, he couldn't help but think in his heart: Maybe Taifu and Sangong agreed that Wu Yong would serve the Son of Heaven just to inspire the Son of Heaven to study!

Wu Yongke didn't have any superfluous thoughts, in fact, the reason why he was able to answer calmly was that he felt that Yang Ci should release the water, because he took the school exam and all the more famous chapters and sentences in the "Book of Shang".

Like what

"Be diligent in the state, thrifty at home",

"Seeing far and clear, listening to virtue and wisdom",

"Destroy the private with the public, and the people will allow it" and so on, these are also well-known sentences in later generations, and junior high school students can answer them.

Although he has been reading and studying frantically recently, it is impossible for him to eat the entire book of "Shangshu".

It is a complete trick to have such a performance today. The two asked and answered like this, and Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, also found it very interesting, and couldn't help asking: "Wu Yong, since you are the Son of Heaven's attendant, can you tell me how the Son of Heaven governs the country and the people?" In fact, he didn't mean anything else, that is, seeing that Wu Yong was younger than himself, and he was praised by the emperor Yang Ci, he wanted to see if he had unique views on governing the country.

Yang Ci and Wu Yong were both stunned, they didn't expect Liu Hong to ask questions at this time. Yang Ci thought for a while, and then said to Wu Yong: "Since the Son of Heaven asks, you follow your heart to answer." ”

"Whoa!" The two bigwigs both spoke, how dare Wu Yong refuse, and then said: "Master Yang let the kid think about it first!" "This question has to be thought about, the present is not as good as the future generations, everyone can speak freely, and they can say whatever they want.

At this time, if you don't answer well, you will be disgusted by the Son of Heaven at best, and you may be killed at worst. According to the ideas of later generations, governing the country is nothing more than the legal system, and governing the people is nothing more than laws and regulations, as long as it does not violate the law, no matter what you do, it is understandable.

However, in the Han Dynasty society, which is more important nowadays, such an answer is likely to be regarded as a great rebellion.

Therefore, Wu Yong thought for a while before he spoke: "The kid is dull and doesn't know much about governing the country and the people, but the thick father said: The destiny of heaven is unfathomable, and the hearts of the people are unpredictable.

The people's style is respectful, awe-inspiring, fearful of ominous, protecting morality, cautious and wanton, but the people who serve enlighten it.

Death is feared of ominousness, and death is inflicted on the people, but it is also a disaster, but the people take it.

Today's people do not say that Yu Baojiao Mingde, but also 'fresh' and 'gram' to teach. The meaning of this sentence is that the destiny of heaven is unpredictable, and the people's will is unpredictable.

The Son of Heaven should deny himself, respect heaven, be cautious, be vigilant against treacherous people, administer virtue according to the law of his ancestors, worship his ancestors, and restrain officials.

Xia Wei's death lies in the fact that he was tyrannical, close to treacherous and evil, and disregarded the people's livelihood, the people wailed in the disaster, and the officials also looted on a large scale.

And today, it is said that we have followed the teachings of the previous holy kings, practiced virtue and government, and taught self-reform and self-control.

In fact, in the eyes of later generations, this is a panacea, there is no specific governance measures, but people nowadays eat this set.

Therefore, after listening to it, Liu Hong couldn't help but praise: "This is a great good!" Then, Liu Hong looked at Yang Ci again, and seeing that his brows were tightly locked, he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Why does Master Yang look like this, but what Wu Shiyu said is not to his liking?" Yang Ci came to his senses at this time, and he didn't have the heart to respond to Liu Hong at this time, but asked Wu Yong with a serious face: "Where did you see what you just said?" Is there a full text? Wu Yong also reacted at this time, and the above was a later article included in the "Tsinghua University Tibetan Warring States Bamboo Slips", called "Hou Father", which is presumed to be a "Book of Shang".

But he didn't dare to say this, because the status of "Shangshu" in official learning is very high nowadays, if he said that "Houfu" is a "Shangshu" chapter, it is estimated that he must be sprayed to death by the world.

"Shangshu" was called "Shu" and "Shujing" in ancient times, and it was called "Shangshu" in Han China. There are still three common ways to interpret it: one theory holds that "Shang" means "ancient", and "Shangshu" is "the book of antiquity".

Another theory is that "Shang" means "respected", and "Shangshu" is "a book that people revere."

There is also a theory that "Shang" means "Junshang", because most of the content of this book is a record of the remarks of "Junshang" by his subordinates, so it is called "Shangshu".

According to records, when Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, he sought to be able to govern the "Book of Shang", and the people of the time recommended Dr. Qin Fu Sheng, but Fu Sheng was already more than 90 years old at that time, and he couldn't do it anymore, so Emperor Wen sent Taichang Shi Zhi Chao to seek advice, which was dictated by Fu Sheng, and Chao was wrongly recorded, and he was passed on to 28 articles, and was established as a scholar.

By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the folk got a "Tai Oath", and the twenty-eight articles passed on by He Fusheng were twenty-nine, so the "Confucian Biography" of the "Historical Records" and "Han Shu" said that the "Shangshu" was twenty-nine.

However, later this "Tai Oath" was found to be a forgery by Ma Rong and others, and it was scrapped, and it is still 28 articles.

Wu Yong learned from the miscellaneous books he had read in the past few months that in fact, there were still a lot of ancient "Shangshu" chapters in the early Han Dynasty, far more than 28 articles, but according to the regulations at that time, only those who had a teacher could be established as a scholar, and those who did not have a teacher could not be established. The other surviving passages are not allowed to be circulated because they are not taught by the teacher.

Legend has it that Liu Yu, the son of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, was named Queen Lu, in order to expand the palace, encroached on a part of the former residence of Confucius, and found the hidden "Shangshu" in the wall of the house, because its font was far away in the pre-Qin, and the people of the time called tadpole writing.

Confucius's twelfth grandson, Kong Anguo, edited the "Book of Shang" with the transmission of Fu Sheng, and there were more than ten articles, which were called "Ancient Texts and Books" at the time.

The twenty-eight articles handed down by Fu Sheng, because they were written in Han Li, were different from the ancient text "Shangshu" at that time, so they were called "Jinwen Shangshu".

Later, Kong Anguo read the "Ancient Texts and Books" and dedicated them to the royal family, but because they were not listed in the scholars, the "Ancient Texts and Books" has not been able to spread among the people.

This is also the reason why Wu Yong didn't dare to answer Yang Ci's question easily, so he thought for a while before he pretended to be a little embarrassed and scratched his head and said: "The Son of Heaven is in front of you, and the kid doesn't dare to say anything!" This is what the kid overheard in the Taixu Wonderland. Then, Wu Yong dictated the whole text,

"Wang Jian traces, heard the 'Gong' and 'Mingde' of the former literati. Wang Ruo said: Father! I heard that Yuchuan is the people of the descendant, and Jianxia Bang ...... "In fact, "Hou Father" is a question and answer between Shang Tang's eldest grandson Taijia and the sage Hou Father.

Although the full text is only a few hundred words, it is rich in content, elegant and philosophical. This is also an article that Wu Yong inadvertently recalled when he was reading "Shangshu" at home.

In later generations, each batch of "Tsinghua University Tibetan Warring States Bamboo Slips" came out, but it brought a great sensation, Wu Yong also read it, and the deepest impression of it was to confirm that the "Ancient Wenshangshu" that has been handed down for more than 2,000 years is indeed a "fake book", which was compiled by later generations, not a classic book of the pre-Qin period.

When Wu Yong spoke, Yang Ci had already prepared a brush and blank bamboo slips, and when Wu Yong finished dictating, he looked at the transcribed text and was speechless for a long time.

At this time, Liu Hong couldn't help but be curious, walked to Yang Ci's side from the top position, followed his appearance, stared at the bamboo slips on the low case, and watched carefully.

Wu Yong couldn't help but be a little bored when he looked at them like this, so he observed the buildings in the Huaguang Palace. I don't know how long it took, Yang Ci came back to his senses, saw the Son of Heaven by his side, and hurriedly confessed.

Liu Hong waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to care, and then asked, "Why is Master Yang like this, it's just a volume!" Yang Ci shook his head,

"This chapter is quite similar to the "Book of Shang", the old minister has read the ancient and modern text "The Book of Shang", and its content has long been memorized, and there is no article, so the old minister suspects that this article should be the "Book of Shang".

"Is what Master Yang said true?" Liu Hong was also suppressed at this time, he knew better than Wu Yong the value of this "Shangshu".

Nowadays, many scholars are heirlooms with 28 "Jinwen Shangshu", and if they hear that there is suddenly an additional "Shangshu", the world will be shaken.

Therefore, the eyes he looked at Wu Yong were extremely weird, which made Wu Yong shiver inexplicably.

"It shouldn't be wrong, Lao Chen remembers the introduction of this article in "Mencius: His Majesty Liang Hui"!" Yang Ci was also very excited at this time, this is a big event that can change the state of Confucianism!

Then he thought of something, and asked Wu Yong nervously: "In addition to this one, have you heard other chapters?" Wu Yong thought about it, and there were only three "Shangshu" chapters that Tsinghua Jian could determine in later generations, namely "Bao Xun", "Hou Father" and "Feng Xu's Life", which was also a coincidence, he could even remember the content.

Therefore, Wu Yong, in line with the principle that if you want to come, you will come to the next bigest, and one article is not as influential as three, she said: "Master Yang asked, but he didn't dare to hide it, the kid still remembered two articles, one of which also forgot some words, and then I didn't know why I couldn't listen to it anyway." ”

"Great goodness!" Yang Ci was overjoyed when he heard that Wu Yong still remembered two articles, in fact, he didn't have high expectations for Wu Yong, after all, he was at that age, and it was already rare to remember one article in this opportunity, but he didn't expect him to be able to remember the limit of three articles, even adults can't remember it in such a short time.

Then Wu Yong dictated the "Bao Xun" and "The Order of Feng Xu".

"Fifty years of King Yu, not hesitating, Wang Nian Ri is too much, afraid of falling to protect the ......" This is the content of "Bao Xun", which is the earliest written family motto in China, which was instructed by King Wen of Zhou to King Wu of Zhou.

The general content is as follows: King Wen of Zhou was seriously ill during his reign of fifty years, he had a premonition that he was about to die, and he was worried that he would not have time to teach the sermon to his heir. In the past, people passed down the Sermon and had to recite it. Now that I'm so sick, you have to write down what I say. Do things respectfully and don't indulge yourself. ”

"In the past, Shun was born in the folk and personally participated in labor, so Shun went to seek 'middle', to be able to self-examine, and to do things well. After Shun obtained the 'middle', he worked harder and never slackened. Shun's actions were appreciated by Yao, who passed on his throne to Shun. Yang Ci transcribed this "Bao Xun", he really loved it, he read it over and over again in his hand, and finally it was Liu Hong, the son of heaven, who kept urging him, so he put down the bamboo slips and continued to let Wu Yong dictate the next article.

“…… The more in the world, so the death of the heavenly persuasion, Shang Zhenjude, Ying received a great order, Jun Yin Quartet ......" "The Order of Feng Xu" is the document of the Zhou Dynasty to divide the Xu State.

The first monarch of the State of Xu, who was entitled, was named

"Ludin

", that is, the name of the Lu family. To the effect that Lü Ding had made great contributions because of his participation in the war of the war, King Cheng of Zhou rewarded him. When this brief text was born in later generations, there were 11 Janes, each with 22 to 24 characters, of which the top half of the second Jane was lost and has not yet been found, but the text is generally complete.

"What a rare curiosity! It's a pity that it's a fragment! Yang Ci sighed, and then bowed to Liu Hong: "Please send someone to inform the princes of the imperial court that there are two and a half pieces of "Shangshu" published, and please hold a grand event together." ”

"Great goodness!" Liu Hong was very concerned about such a lively event, so he instructed the attendant to inform him, and at the same time asked the attendant to prepare to leave for the palace.
