Chapter 042: Determining the Future Direction of Confucianism
In the house that was still overcrowded just now, in the blink of an eye, only Chun Yuyue and Fu Sheng were left.
Fu Sheng carefully rolled up the Analects—engraved by Yan Hui, a disciple of Confucius.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiang Chunyu would have made it more difficult for him today, he would not have taken out this "Analects", and he would have intended to pass it on to future generations as a family heirloom.
"Chun Yuyue, what the hell do you think!" Fu Sheng's anger did not subside: "The court will act like that, and in the afternoon, I sent Zhang Ping and the four of them to the building, what are you trying to do!"
"Brother Fu, you don't care about these things, just do your knowledge with peace of mind. The more it can guarantee that there will still be Confucianism in future generations, but whether the Confucianism of later generations will be the Confucianism of today, that is a matter for Brother Fu. Haven't you and I always divided labor like this? ”
Chun Yuyue smiled implicitly, his eyebrows and eyes were soft, and he didn't look like he was holding a grudge.
In the past, if Chun Yuyue said this, Fu Sheng would have given up, and the two of them had such conversations not once or twice.
But not this time.
Fu Sheng's palm is carved from the knife on the bamboo slips, and the bamboo lines are swept through.
The rough and concave touch made Fu Sheng's heart unable to calm down.
The road to the spread of Confucianism is also so bumpy.
He agreed with Chun Yuyue before.
One in the Lord - delving into Confucianism.
One outside the main - to spread Confucianism.
Fu Sheng thought that what he did was several times more difficult than what Chun Yuyue did.
Now he found out that he was wrong.
Because of the study of Confucianism, at least there is no worry about life and no danger to reputation.
And Chun Yuyue, not only almost lost his head today, but also almost lost his reputation.
After Fu Sheng rolled up the bamboo slips, he spread a straw mat on the ground that was placed against the wall.
He took the clay-fired teapot and cup from the table and placed it in the center of the straw mat.
Fu Sheng dragged off his shoes, knelt on one side of the straw mat, pointed to the other side of the straw mat with his palms stretched out, and said to Chun Yuyue: "Sit."
"Why is that?"
Chun Yuyue was helpless, and he also took off his shoes, and knelt on the other side of the straw mat like Fu Sheng, sitting opposite Fu Sheng.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius led his disciples to travel around the world and encountered a wall, and with the help of Ran Qiu, he finally returned to the state of Lu, the state of his parents.
From then on, Confucius devoted himself to writing, editing and sorting out the Book of Songs, the Book of Songs, and the Book of Rites, and writing the Spring and Autumn Period with his own views.
At the same time, the altar was opened, and everyone was sitting on the ground, and the number of disciples reached 3,000 at most.
This is sitting and talking.
From then on, all Confucian disciples were invited to sit together if they were in a sitting posture.
If you accept the invitation, it means that the next topic to be discussed by both parties is the most solemn and serious thing.
Although the teapot is called a teapot, what is poured out is not tea soup, but hot water.
Tea soup is a luxury ornament that can only be drunk by high-ranking officials who earn more than 1,000 stone a year.
In the Qin Dynasty, it was already extremely good to be able to drink hot water anytime and anywhere, after all, charcoal for boiling water was very expensive.
Fu Sheng held the teacup in both hands, handed it to Chun Yuyue, and said: "I apologize to Brother Chun Yu, and I act today, because I don't know the current affairs." If Brother Chun Yu still recognizes his life, please drink this cup to the fullest. And tell the student truthfully what you think. ”
Chun Yuyue also took the teacup from Fu Sheng's hands with both hands, and said indifferently: "You are also a Confucian, why are you wrong?"
He brought the teacup to his lips three inches away, paused for a moment, and then put the teacup handed by Fu Sheng back to the straw mat.
"Brother Chun Yu doesn't drink, but he doesn't forgive life?"
Chun Yuyue looked at Fu Sheng with some doubts and anxious looks, he had no way to take this nerd who could only read.
With a long sigh, Chun Yuyue was extremely helpless and jumped out of his mouth with a word.
"Hot!"
The water in the teapot is the boiling water that has just been boiled in the Yue.
He didn't even need Chun Yuyue to send it to his mouth, at a distance of three inches, the heat would scorch his lips and hurt!
"Well, it's another life that is not well thought out, not well thought out."
Looking at Fu Sheng's embarrassed appearance, Chun Yuyue said sincerely: "Brother Fu, let's sit down and talk about it today, forget it."
"No! Life must be familiar with the difficulties of Chunyu brother, and solve the difficulties of Chunyu brother! You and I are both Confucian protégés, and we should advance and retreat together! Fu Sheng categorically refused, with a generous face.
“…… All right. Chun Yuyue couldn't bear to hit Fu Sheng again.
He said yes, but in his heart he thought: You just study knowledge, which will be the greatest help to me.
"Qin Xiaogong promoted Gongsun Marting, who was a defender, and Gongsun Martingale changed the law so that the Qin State was strong. After six generations of Qin kings, they all followed the foundation of the rule of law and did not change in the slightest. Now His Majesty can rule the world, and the Fa family has made great contributions. The more you say, can Brother Fu be recognized? ”
Although Fu Sheng was reluctant, he was a person who did not want to tell lies.
On the road to the rise of the Qin State, it was indeed the Legalists who played a huge role, and the Confucian protégés came to the Qin court after the unification of the world.
Fu Sheng nodded reluctantly, not even wanting to say the word "recognition".
Chun Yuyue continued: "Although Your Majesty is familiar with the classics of the Hundred Schools of Thought, his inclination is that he is an absolute Legalist. His Majesty is Han Fei alone, and the soldiers came to South Korea to coerce Han Wang'an. Reuse Li Si, who was once a rebellious guest of Lü Buwei, and let Li Si serve as the court lieutenant of Jiuqing. The officials of all counties and counties in Guanzhong are required to popularize the Qin law to the people, so that everything is decided by the law. These things done by His Majesty are enough to see that His Majesty is the only one who favors the Legalists among the hundreds of schools. The position of Legalism in the Qin State is unshakable. ”
Fu Sheng was dumbfounded.
Fu Sheng heard these words for the first time, Chun Yuyue had never said to him before, and he had never cared about the situation.
He was only obsessed with Confucianism, and studied books such as "Shangshu" and "Analects".
"Above the court, isn't the number of my Confucian protégés already surpassed that of the Legalist protégés?"
"That's all falsehood."
Chun Yuyue shook his head and said, "Most of my Confucian protégés have official positions of doctors with an annual salary of 600 stones, and they have the power to discuss but have no real positions, but they seem to be many powerful. On the other hand, the Legalists accounted for the Shangqing Tingwei with an annual salary of 2,000 stones, the Tingwei Supervisor with 1,000 stones, and the Tingwei Zheng with 1,000 stones. The Tingwei Mansion on Xianyang Zhengzhong Avenue is not as good as the fact that it is called the Fajia Mansion. ”
"Oh, my Confucianism is not only incomparable to the Legalists, but also other families. The protégé of the Zongheng family is weak and weak, the famous protégé Yao Jia is the secretary, and even the Mo family Meng is the secretary. I have a lot of Confucianism, but I don't have a single king! ”
Xu is inner plan has never been said to others, these things have been depressed in Chun Yuyue's heart for a long time, and when he opened the chatterbox at this moment, he couldn't stop anymore, and without waiting for Fu Sheng to speak, Chun Yuyue continued to tell.
"The power of my Confucianism is evident in governing the country and securing the people, not in warfare. In the troubled times, it is difficult for Confucianism to compete with various families. When the Qin State heard the war, he was overjoyed, and His Majesty was so happy. Therefore, above the Qin Hall, there is no Confucian protégé in a high position. ”
"Your Majesty leads the world with the law and accepts my Confucianism into Qin, which is just a move to gather people's hearts. In fact, His Majesty did not put Confucianism in his eyes for a moment. If I want Confucianism to return to Xianxue, it will not be feasible to hope for His Majesty who is reckless and militaristic. Therefore, the prominence of my Confucianism lies in the death of His Majesty, in the second Qin Dynasty! ”
