Nanyang.

Ying Chengcheng turned around the street and went to the Nanyang County Mansion.

There is not much to see in Nanyang.

Among the many cities managed by hundreds of schools, the development of the cities managed by Confucianism cannot reach the top, and it cannot compare with Taoism. But it can't be reduced, and it is far better than the witches of the Chu State.

Confucianism focuses on a middle way.

There are many policies promulgated by Confucianism:

Parents pass away, and children keep filial piety for three years.

When meeting the elderly, the superior should bow and pay respect.

Those with high morals are role models, and the government supports and worships.

Those who act bravely will be rewarded, and the government will publicize and distribute them.

……

If you look at these policies alone, you can't see the implications, and they don't seem to help the situation much.

However, when these policies were issued and implemented together, the effect of a combination of punches was produced - the city managed by Confucianism slowly developed.

The wicked are spurned.

Those who do good are respected.

The city managed by Confucianism is the most polite and well-behaved city.

Ying Chengcheng, who hates a lot of rules, doesn't think it's a good thing, but he doesn't interfere in the development of the situation because of his own likes and dislikes.

Because of the etiquette, these cities were freed from ignorance.

The changes in the lives of the people and the development of the city are all moving in a good direction.

These are much more important than Ying Chengcheng's own will.

In Korea, where the ruling class had just been overthrown and food and clothing were still unsatisfied, Confucianism, which valued etiquette, was usually untenable.

The reason why Confucianism was able to open up the situation in Korea has an important point that has to be mentioned, Confucianism borrowed the momentum of Ying Chengcheng.

The Confucian leader Fu Sheng, after entering Nanyang as the county order, the first place he went to was not the county order, but the Daqin School.

The first article promulgated was not a decree, but a call for the people of Nanyang to come to read and learn the Confucian classics - the annotated version of the Analects of Yingcheng.

Chang'an Jun Yingcheng's reputation in Korea is very high, as the owner of the Lu Chamber of Commerce who led a group of Koreans to overthrow the rule of the aristocracy, the recognition of the three words of Chang'an Jun by the people of Han is far higher than that of the first emperor who is close in front of him.

Relying on the five words "Ying Cheng Chan Commentary", the "Analects" was temporarily sought after by the people of Nanyang, and the Daqin School in Nanyang was overcrowded for a while.

Regardless of his intentions, in fact, Confucianism was the first of the hundred to enlighten the masses of the people and let them read and write.

Education is an extremely important part of Confucian rule.

Confucius Ziyun: There is no class in teaching.

Relying on the Xinzheng County order from Qiang, Ying Chengcheng was led into the county mansion by a Confucian protégé.

The person who led him was very respectful, and he couldn't stop talking about the beauty of Chang'an Jun, and he was really a saint. From the door of the prefectural government to the front of the main house, from the corner of the house to the hall of the house.

A few months ago, because of the "slapping words" in the court, many Confucian scholars were so hated that they gritted their teeth, and they longed to die of nonsense about the classic shaft.

Today, it is a two-level reversal.

Those who cursed the shaft to die at the beginning are the same Confucian protégés who now praise Chang'an Jun as a saint.

"Your Excellency is here with a county order, what is the matter?"

Fu Sheng, who was named by Ying Chengcheng and asked to meet him in person, stepped into the room, arched his hand, and bowed deeply.

There was a callus on his lips, his back was straight after the salute, and his face was full of vigor and pride.

"It's much better than when I was in Xianyang."

Ying Chengchan said with a smile, I didn't say anything to guess who I am, raised his hand and took off the hat, revealing his true face.

Fu Sheng already felt that the voice was a little familiar, and judging from Ying Cheng's words, it should be a familiar person, and he was searching for the name of the person in his mind to sit down.

Seeing that the person wearing the hat took off the hat, he didn't think about it anymore, just waited for the answer.

And when he saw Ying Chengcheng's appearance, he was suddenly startled and lost his voice:

"Chang'an-kun?!"

Fortunately, Fu Shengli was thoughtful, and after entering the door, he closed the door, although the sound was a little louder, but it would not be known to everyone in the county government.

"There's no need to make such a fuss."

Ying Chengcheng confirmed Fu Sheng's speculation on the side.

Fu Sheng immediately had to salute again - the etiquette just now was to the county guard, not to the monarch, Confucian etiquette is varied, and the etiquette for different people is different.

"Hypocrisy is exempt, you know my heart."

Fu Sheng still gave a deep salute with a board and a look, and when he bent over, his head was about to hit his toes, and then said:

"Fu Sheng visited Chang'anjun and thanked Chang'anjun for his kindness to Confucianism."

Ying Cheng accepted a salute and did not avoid it.

"Thank you for your kindness."

"I'm a shaft, not a saint."

"Now, it's time for you Confucians to repay me."

Fu Sheng's shocked expression immediately became solemn, and he raised one hand in vain.

"Chang'anjun, please speak."

Ying Chengcheng smiled:

"I want Confucianism to abolish etiquette."

"I want Confucianism without aristocrats."

"I want Confucianism to teach the world."

Three sentences made Fu Sheng's face change twice.

Of these three requirements, only the last one is in line with the Confucian position, and the first two are seriously inconsistent with Confucian ideals. To be precise, it is subverting traditional Confucianism.

Confucianism is an aristocratic doctrine, and Confucianism, which is committed to the revival of Zhou rites, is still essentially controlled by the same system as the world.

Like Mohist, Confucianism also advocates love for others.

But unlike Mohist love, Confucian lovers have different loves.

There is more love for loved ones than for friends.

There is more love for friends than for passers-by.

Confucian morality is above the law.

Parents break the law, and children do not sue the official, and they will be punished. And if you report to the official, you will also receive punishment. And the punishment of the latter is much greater than that of the former.

Confucianism does not have the four words of righteousness and annihilation, only the words "unfilial piety".

This is the method used by Confucianism to govern the country, the rule of etiquette.

The same is true for the monarch and the minister - the king treats the minister with courtesy, and the minister is loyal to the minister.

The king was to be courteous to his subjects, and the subjects were to repay the king with absolute loyalty.

These rules and regulations have become a cage that binds the people, allowing them to learn how to be better governed since childhood.

Of course, on the other hand, these rituals maintain social stability. Social stability, as the main body of human life, allows the lives of the majority of people to be guaranteed, and this cage not only restrains but also protects.

"Chang'anjun said this, forgive me for ......"

Fu Sheng refused with a pale face, and Ying Cheng didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said:

"If it weren't you who were here today, but Chun Yuyue, I wouldn't come. Benjun thought that you would agree to Benjun's request. ”

The temperature of the water was slightly cool, and when it was just served, the steaming hot water took a sip.

"Wu Shi, Tang Bing...... These people are your old friends, and the city they govern is growing much faster than Nanyang, you know why. ”

Fu Sheng was silent and did not answer.

"Looks like I know."

Ying Chengcheng crossed her hands and pressed her chin on her hands.

"I want the people to enter the Great Qin Academy to study, and teach Benjun to understand according to their age."

"If you want the people to serve their parents and set an example for those who are virtuous and respectable, you can also understand it."

"What Benjun doesn't understand is that his parents are filial piety for three years, and they are not allowed to do other things within three years, what is the reason?"

Fu Sheng bowed his head slightly.

"This is the words of Confucius in the Analects, in ......"

Ying Chengcheng tapped the table hard, interrupting Fu Sheng's words with a dull sound.

"Benjun knows the source, so I don't need you to say it."

"Benjun now wants you to explain to Benjun, what is the reason."

Fu Sheng followed suit and said:

"After a child is born, it takes three years to leave the arms of their parents, and these three years are the hardest and most difficult times for parents."

"Therefore, after the death of their parents, children should keep filial piety for three years to repay their parents for their kindness."

"Keeping filial piety for his parents for three years, the Zhou Dynasty did this."

After a pause, seeing that Chang Anjun was still looking at him, Fu Sheng said again:

"The more the people value filial piety, the more they can know that etiquette, righteousness and shame are respected, and the world values etiquette, so that peace can be achieved and prosperity can be achieved."

Ying Cheng high-fived and smiled.

"Color."

"You've finally told the truth, even if it's only half a sentence, but it's not commendable."

"This peace is not the peace of your life, let alone the peace of the people, it is the peace of the superiors."

"This prosperous era is not the prosperous age of your birth, not the prosperous age of the common people, but the prosperous age of the nobles."

It was served in a teacup filled with hot water instead of tea.

If it weren't for Fu Sheng's sluggishness, or the highest standard of the county government was only hot water. And there is no tea soup that is very turbid and can only be enjoyed by nobles.

After making the Nanyang County Order, Fu Sheng did not enjoy the things that the superior should enjoy.

Fu Shengping looked at Ying Chengcheng and asked rhetorically:

"Chang'anjun is not a superior person? Not an aristocracy? ”

"I am naturally a superior and a nobleman."

"In that case, why turn against yourself?"

"Because it's not cool."

Ying Chengzhi smiled in his incomprehensible eyes and said:

"Filial piety is a virtue, respect for teachers, and treating others with sincerity is also a matter of course, these are all excellent."

"These wonderful things should be promoted, but they should not be used as tools. It made me feel very uncomfortable, uncomfortable, and I wanted to rebel. ”

Rebel?

Fu Sheng was shocked, his steps did not stand firm, he took half a step back, and his face was mixed with panic and confusion.

From the attitude of the first emperor during the wax sacrifice, and Fu Sheng, who is not good at human affairs, it can be seen that Qin II may not be the crown prince Yingfu Su, but the Chang'an Jun in front of him.

And after the wax sacrifice, the rumors of "one son and two kings" and "Chang'an Jun giving the throne to His Majesty" also spread among the vassals, saying that there are noses and eyes.

Although Fu Sheng, who heard it, didn't believe it at first, he saw that the first emperor had no signs of stopping it, and that all the old ministers told the same thing about the past, and there was almost no deviation, so he was also suspicious.

Why would such a born royal family, who is expected to ascend to the throne, and even give up the throne, have such a rebellious idea - I am against myself?

Such an idea should only be born from a humble background, a scholar, and a great Confucian, who has penetrated the essence of Confucianism - such as Fusheng himself.

Suffering cannot be understood without experiencing it.

Ying Chengcheng got up from his seat and walked down the table made of only a piece of bad wood.

"Parents love their children, and this love is not mixed with utilitarianism and does not pursue a love in return. However, Confucianism has to define this love, and determine that parents should not observe filial piety for three years is the etiquette of unfilial piety. ”

This is not determined by Confucianism, this is determined by the Zhou Dynasty...... Fu Sheng said in his heart.

Although the words were not spoken, there was a slight strangeness on his face, and Ying Chengcheng saw it at a glance.

"Confucius asked me: 'When my parents die, three years of filial piety is too long, and one year is enough.' ”

"Khonchu replied: 'Less than three years after the death of your parents, you have eaten polished rice and dressed in brocade, and you are at peace?' ”

"Kill me and say, 'Peace of mind.'" ”

"Confucius said: 'Do it when you have peace of mind, during the mourning of a gentleman, he will not feel sweet when he eats delicious food, he will not feel happy when he listens to music, and he will not feel comfortable at home. Now that you are at peace, you can do it. ’”

"This is what has been described in the Analects, and my interpretation is not a misinterpretation?"

Fu Sheng smiled and arched his hand slightly.

"What Chang'an Jun said is the true meaning of it."

Ying Chengcheng nodded in satisfaction.

"Good.

"Would the deceased parents want to see their children live a miserable life for three years, unable to eat polished rice, unable to eat silk? No. ”

"They did not give up on their children after the hardest three years before they were three years old, not to make their children suffer for three years after they died."

"It is Confucianism, Confucius, the superiors, and the nobles who make their children suffer for three years!"

"I hope that in this way, people in the world will bend their knees and bow their bodies to consume their blood and learn to obey!"

Listening to such a rebellious remark, Fu Sheng's face still kept smiling and did not refute.

Ying Cheng waited for Fu Sheng to argue, and without waiting for him to speak, he glanced deeply at Fu Sheng, who could still laugh.

I really didn't guess wrong, I was proficient in the Confucian classics, and the successor of the "Book of Shang" in later generations, the great Confucian Fusheng, how could he not know the internal purpose of Confucianism......

"Filial piety should be promoted, and humanity should not be deviated from. When my father was alive, he often laughed because of him. ”

"This gentleman solves problems for my father and serves my father. After the death of his father, he did not keep filial piety for three years. According to Mr., dare to ask whether Benjun is filial piety or unfilial piety? ”

Fu Sheng smiled and said:

"King Zhuang Xiangxian was committed to the unification of Great Qin, and his thoughts were mostly about state affairs and less about family affairs, and the factions of the court were intricate during his reign."

"Born in Xianyang, I heard a lot of rumors about Chang'anjun, if Chang'anjun is really what everyone wants, integrate the forces of Qin. handled the government affairs for his father, and no one was dissatisfied. Find His Majesty the First Emperor and end the heart disease of King Zhuang Xiangxian. Give up his brother and fulfill his father's last wish to rule the world. ”

"State affairs, family affairs, major matters, and small matters, Chang'an Jun will deal with them for his father. In terms of filial piety, there is no more filial person in the world than Chang'anjun. ”

Ying Chengsheng walked into Fu Sheng, pulled Fu Sheng's face, and carefully observed the skin color of the roots.

"Are you really Fu Sheng? Isn't it Zhou Qingchen who wears a human skin mask? ”

This sycophant is really loud.

Ying Cheng raised his arms, stretched his waist, and covered his mouth and yawned.

"It seems that my husband and I have reached an agreement."

"To be filial to your father and mother, you must sit for three years before you are alive, not for your father and mother, but for those who are in power."

"The deceased is gone, the living are like this, Fang is the wish of the father and mother, and the Fang is the filial piety in humanity."

"There are many of these in Confucian etiquette, and they are all abolished. The Taoist side is in full swing to build a new home, and a group of people on your side are guarding filial piety in front of the grave, how can they compare to the Taoists. ”

Obsessed with the classics, the great Confucian Fusheng who does not ask about the world arches his hands.

"Yui."

Good.

He said in his heart.
