Chapter 179: Black of the Highest Order
Like the Yamen, the architectural layout of the schools in the world is also similar, and they are all standardized buildings designed by Emperor Taizu Gao.
When Lin Daguan walked into Wuxi County School, he smiled at the left and right protectors: "I, a cultural person, have never even entered the local government school and county school in Suzhou, but advanced to the county school in other places." ”
Under normal circumstances, county schools must not come and go at will, but today, the "big guys" give public lectures, and they are half-liberalized.
Lin Daguan was wearing a green shirt and dressed like a scholar, so the door was not stopped.
He was late, and the lecture had been going on for an unknown amount of time.
But it doesn't matter, Lin Daguan is not here to listen to the lecture, his motive is actually "curiosity".
It's like visiting a famous tourist attraction and seeing what the future leaders and founders of the Donglin Party will look like.
At this point in time, most of the eight gentlemen of Donglin in the early stage should be in Wuxi County, and two are from Wujin County next door.
In the middle of the platform of Minglun Hall, the person who was speaking was a round-faced middle-aged man of thirty-six or seventeen, with a long beard that hung down to his chest.
You don't need to ask to know that this must be Gu Xiancheng, the "righteous and true Confucian" advocated by the innkeeper, and I don't know who thinks of this name.
On both sides of Gu Xiancheng, there were four people sitting, all of whom must be close to Gu Xiancheng and have a certain status.
According to historical data, it is probably Gu Xiancheng's younger brother Gu Yuncheng, Gu Xiancheng's grandson Xue Fujiao, and Ye Maocai, a close friend of the same village.
At present, these people are all about thirty years old, and in the future, all of them will be admitted to the Jinshi, and the ranking rate is 100%, which is higher than that of Zai Fu Gongzi.
There is also a young man in his early twenties, who must be Gao Panlong, who is known as the "corporal of the world", a prodigy who was promoted at the age of twenty-one.
The above people are all the figures in the early eight gentlemen of the Donglin Party in the future, and the core figures of the early Donglin Party.
Therefore, some people say that the Donglin Party does not engage in friends and is not a "party", which is a joke.
Otherwise, why did six of the eight gentlemen of Donglin in the early days, six from Wuxi, and two from Wujin next door, most of them have a relationship with Gu Xiancheng?
Otherwise, why would the people in the Eight Gentlemen of Donglin, under such a cruel imperial examination elimination rate, be able to pass the Jinshi in all two or three subjects and be 100% on the list?
Of course, it can also be seen as a coincidence, the future Donglin gentlemen sitting on the platform are all geniuses of the imperial examination comparable to Zai Fu Gongzi.
And under the platform, there are more than 100 scholars, like the stars and the moon, surrounded by the platform on three sides, and everyone is full of worship and admiration.
I have to say that at this time, Gu Xiancheng's appeal has begun to appear, at least in the local area, he is still very charismatic.
No matter what, Gu Xiancheng is not only a scholar, but also an official of the ministry, the ministry in charge of personnel work.
After the three-year vacation, Master Gu still has to go back to work in the Beijing Division.
Insert a digression, Gu Xiancheng is the fifth place in the legendary Jinshi, the one behind the champion, Bangyan, Tanhua, and Chuanyu.
I don't know if others have listened, anyway, Lin Daguan is not interested in listening carefully, so he just stands here and looks at the "scenic spots" while probing his brain, while thinking nonsense.
Suddenly, I heard Gu Xiancheng on the platform say: "I want to compile the "Five Classics". ”
The young man next to him, who was suspected of being Gao Panlong, asked, "What is the "Five Classics Yu"? ”
Gu Xiancheng replied: "The remainder is not the remainder, but the meaning of continuation." The meaning of the "Pentateuch" is to continue the cause of the saint's "Pentateuch"! ”
The young man suspected of Gao Panlong asked again: "How to continue?" ”
Gu Xiancheng replied again: "The meaning of the Five Classics is mostly derived from three generations. And less than three generations, not included, I have many regrets in my heart.
Therefore, it is necessary to continue the content of the Five Classics within the scope of three generations, which is the "Rest of the Five Classics". ”
Hearing this, the soldiers under the platform have begun to talk about it.
Gu Xiancheng turned to everyone in the audience, and said in a very imposing and rhythmic voice:
"I want to use "Taiji Diagram", "Jingshi", "Enlightenment" and so on as "Yi Yu"!
With three generations of edicts, edicts, plays, sparse and so on for the "book"!
Take Sao, Fu, ancient poems, etc. as "Poetry"!
Take the "Compendium" and the history as the "Spring and Autumn Balance"!
The appropriate ones of the past dynasties are "Rites"!
That's the idea of the Pentateuch! ”
The tone of each sentence was higher than the other, and when the last sentence was spoken, all the beings in the audience were deafening!
It turned out that Mr. Gu was not casually joking, but already had an idea!
Continuing to supplement the Five Classics, this is a great cause! It is worthy of Mr. Gu Jingyang!
A young man threw himself out of the crowd, his face flushed with excitement, trembling all over, and even burst into tears, and his voice almost broke and shouted:
"After Confucius, the one who dared to write the Six Classics and wrote was the great Confucian Wang Tong of the Sui Dynasty!
And Mr. Jingyang's feat of wanting to do "The Five Classics" is grand in scale, and it is even better than Wang Tong!
The canons of the past dynasties are voluminous, and I, Anxi Fan, am willing to follow Mr., follow the work of dogs and horses, and revive Zhengxue! ”
Lin Tailai: "."
If your name isn't Anxi Vum, I really believe it.
An Xifan, twenty-two this year, the second youngest of the eight gentlemen in the early stage of Donglin, worshipped Gu Xian to become a teacher to study.
According to history, this person will be promoted this year, and next year, he will be a genius in the imperial examination.
With someone in charge of taking the lead in screaming, the atmosphere in the audience suddenly became enthusiastic.
The scholars were in the midst of it, and unconsciously fell into an inexplicable frenzy, and shouted together: "Revive the right school!" Revival Learning! ”
The great cause of literature such as the continuation of the Pentateuch is just around the corner, and if you can participate in it, how glorious it is!
Why is it called revival of orthodoxy, because Wang Yangming's psychology has been too popular in recent decades, and orthodox scholars like Gu Xiancheng are unhappy with it.
The Zhang family brothers, who were waiting not far from the periphery, subconsciously glanced at each other, and they all felt that this scene seemed familiar, and they felt that they were all left over from sitting in the restaurant.
Even the Zhang brothers are immune, let alone Lin Daguan himself, he just stood at the edge of the crowd with his arms crossed, watching coldly.
No blowing or blacking, this Mr. Gu can create a Donglin Party that has influenced the political arena for decades as a middle-level bureaucrat in the opposition, and become a spiritual leader, there is still something.
Even after 500 years, the various operational methods we have seen will not be outdated.
Compared with the leader of the old alliance who only knows how to rub hot discussions, Gu Xiancheng is really much stronger, and there is an obvious generational gap!
After witnessing all this, Lin Daguan finally understood why the Donglin Party in history would be so fanatical and extreme, it was simply that good and evil did not stand together, and those who followed me prospered and those who disobeyed me died.
Because this is how it grows from the roots, it is even more impossible to be corrected after it grows.
At this time, when the gentlemen on the platform looked at the crowd, they immediately noticed Lin Tailai.
Originally, Lin Daguan's figure was more than a foot taller than others, and the eye-catching basic index was not low.
Not to mention that at this moment of enthusiasm, others are working hard, only Lin Daguan subconsciously put on a posture of holding his arms to watch the monkey show.
In the fanatical brainless fans, there is a heresy!
So it's impossible for him to go unnoticed, unless someone else is blind.
After the atmosphere cooled down a little, Gu Xiancheng's younger brother Gu Yuncheng said to the tall "scholar" on the edge of the crowd:
"Who is this majestic friend, look at the face."
Lin Tailai, who was watching the play, couldn't help but sigh when he heard being asked, so he could be named? Is this the protagonist's aura?
He replied: "In the next surname Lin, from Suzhou, to Nanjing to catch the exam, today passing by the treasure land, by the way to observe." ”
There is nothing wrong with Lin Daguan's words, but it is easy to misunderstand, anyway, after others heard it, they all thought that Lin Daguan was going to participate in the August Township Examination.
Gu Yuncheng thought about it for a while, he had never heard of the Lin family in Suzhou, and he must not be a child of a big family, so he said:
"From what I have observed, Friend Lin seems to be very contemptuous of his brother's ideas.
If you have a different opinion, you may wish to speak out here boldly, and we will listen to you. ”
Gu Yuncheng's words were obviously nothing, but he was extremely frightened when he thought about it.
The atmosphere here is frenetic, and what will happen if a lonely son of a humble family rashly raises a piercing objection?
In other words, finding an easy target is more conducive to increasing the cohesion of your own group.
Lin Daguan, who has experienced the era of fan economy, certainly understands the problem.
After he looked around, he said unhurriedly:
"My idea is that Mr. Gu wants to write "The Five Classics", which is too small!
You might as well be bolder and faster! ”
Everyone: "."
Daring to renew the "Five Classics" is already a great cause, what else do you want?
Lin Tailai said more passionately: "Don't make a fuss about the Five Classics, I think Mr. Gu can make a new Four Books!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately glared angrily at Lin Daguan.
It's a real hammer, this person is definitely a black fan! Someone who can say such a thing must be here to smash the field!
The Four Books are compulsory, and the Five Classics are optional, which can show that the status of the Four Books is higher than that of the Five Classics!
Who dares to mess with the Four Books? Isn't this clearly asking Mr. Gu to die!
Lin Tailai turned a blind eye to others, and only asked Gu Xiancheng: "What does Mr. Jingyang think of "The Book of Rites"?" ”
Gu Xiancheng said truthfully: "Most of the Five Classics deleted by Kong Sheng have survived through Qin Huo.
Only the "Book of Rites" is a classic, which is mixed by a few halves, and it seems that it is not the original scripture.
I don't know if Ercheng had the ability to revive Confucianism, but why didn't he correct the "Book of Rites" and make up for it. ”
This is a popular view, and many people suspect that the Book of Rites was made up by Han Confucianism.
Lin Tailai sighed: "Mr. Gu hasn't figured it out, Ercheng's "Book of Rites" has been corrected and handed down!" ”
This kind of thing is no joke, Gu Xiancheng couldn't help but sit up straight, and asked seriously, "Why does Lin Sheng dare to say that?" ”
Lin Tailai replied: "Actually, I think that the "University" and "The Mean" commended by Ercheng and Zhu Zi are the real "Book of Rites" in their hearts, but they don't say it explicitly! ”
Originally, "University" and "The Mean" were both contents of the "Book of Rites", but the Song people took "The University" and "The Mean" separately from the "Book of Rites", and together with the "Analects" and "Mencius", they became the highest classics of Confucianism.
Could it be that the sages of the Song Dynasty are implying that only "University" and "The Mean" are true rites?
Lin Tailai's point of view seems simple, but it is novel, and no one has thought about it from this perspective before.
So it's like breaking the window paper, which makes everyone present feel a little suddenly enlightened.
Lin Tailai still said very calmly: "In this way, the "University" and "The Mean" in the four books can be restored to "The Book of Rites".
Then there are two less books of the four books, and if two more books can be added, won't it become the new four books? ”
Gu Xiancheng couldn't help but be stunned, and his breath became short.
Worst! It's a heart-warming feeling!
I thought it was the nonsense of an ignorant fanatic, but how can it be more and more like that?
If you can recast the classics, what a merit it is, and it is not a problem to add tens of thousands of fans!
At this point, the topic is too big.
At this time, others were inexplicably in awe, and they didn't dare to speak, because they were not worthy!
Only Lin Daguan smiled on his face and said: "The first book, I think I can use Zhu Zi's "Primary School" to make up for it, and teach people how to work carefully!" ”
Gu Xiancheng nodded subconsciously, feeling that the more he said, the more it made sense, Zhu Zi's "Elementary School" could make up for the problem that other classics focused too much.
"And what is the second one?" Gu Xiancheng couldn't help but ask.
So the smile on Lin Daguan's face became even thicker, and he continued: "As for the second book, I think Mr. Jingyang, you can write one yourself and put it in!"
With your talent for the Analects and Mencius, it would be too easy to write the scriptures of the Analects and Mencius!
After all, you are the true Confucian of the righteous path in the world, and if you don't make a move, no one can assist Kong Meng! ”
Gu Xiancheng: "."
went around in a big circle, made up a bunch of decent scripture concepts, and almost moved himself, but the result was to finally open himself!
Although he had never heard this way of speaking, that didn't prevent him from hearing irony from it!
It can be identified, this is definitely black powder, the highest grade kind of black powder!
Among the gentlemen on the stage, Gao Panlong, who was still very young and vigorous, stood up, pointed at Lin Tailai and scolded:
"Don't dare to argue frankly, only dare to be Piri Yangqiu, what a villain!"
Lin Tailai said contemptuously: "The one who puts the interest debt at home is the villain, don't talk to me again!" ”
The Gao family made a fortune by lending usury, and when Gao Panlong heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to jump down and beat someone.
Gu Xiancheng hurriedly stopped Gao Panlong, turned his head and asked, "Who are you learning from?" Who gets the know-how? ”
Just now, I just thought that this Lin Sheng was a free-range scholar who had no heels, but now it doesn't seem like it.
This is a talented person, otherwise he would not have been able to make up those things at all, especially the concept of scriptures, which must have been inherited.
Lin Daguan replied: "My main skill. It can be regarded as from Mr. Tang Jingchuan! ”
It is said that in the martial arts examination room, there is no boxing and whip method, either bow and arrow, or sword and gun, so at present, marksmanship is regarded as the main skill.
Gao Panlong couldn't help but say: "Nonsense! ”
Tang Shunzhi is from Wujin County next door, and Wuxi County belongs to the same Changzhou Mansion, and is the celebrity predecessor of Changzhou Mansion.
What kind of disciple inheritance does Tang Shunzhi have, can the people here still not know? Where did the Suzhou Lin surnamed Ye disciple come from?
Lin Tailai said disdainfully: "Believe it or not!" My family doesn't let go of heavy interest debts, can I be cheated like your Gao family's quality warehouse! ”
Gao Panlong's heart exploded, and he shouted angrily: "Then let me see the skills you passed down from Mr. Jing Chuan!" ”
Lin Tai looked at Gao Panlong's small body and asked in surprise, "Are you sure?" ”
