Zhu Biao didn't understand why Zhang Yi said this, was it grandstanding, or was it a trick?

Zhang Yi said: "Big brother doesn't believe it? ”

Zhu Biao thought for a moment and shook his head.

"It's no wonder, eldest brother, you are protected too well by your uncle, and many times you can't see through human nature, which brings up the dividing line between clerical power and political power!"

"Ecclesiastical power, regime?"

The more Zhu Biao listened, the more confused he became, what was Zhang Yi going to say?

"Since Dong Zhongshu deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism, the way of Confucianism has controlled the mainstream of my Chinese thought, and since then Confucianism has been the only one, and the Confucian saint has also become the most holy teacher, in fact, since then, Confucianism has not been the original Confucianism, but has gradually evolved into the current Confucianism!"

"Confucianism, Confucianism?"

"Does it make a difference?"

"Confucianism is just a school, but Confucianism is a religion!"

Zhu Biao was a little unconvinced, and replied:

"How can Confucianism be confused with Buddhism?"

Zhu Biao did not agree with Zhang Yi's statement that Confucianism is a religion, and directly refuted it.

Zhang Yi seemed to have expected his answer a long time ago, and smiled:

"Big brother, you study, do you have a teacher?"

"Yes!"

"Then big brother, do you respect your teacher?"

Zhu Biao thought for a moment and nodded.

Zhang Yi asked again:

"Then will you respect your teacher, and offer his sons, grandsons, and grandchildren to the generations?"

Zhu Biao's expression changed slightly, he seemed to have understood what Zhang Yi wanted to say?

"Confucianism doesn't care about the afterlife, only focuses on the present, so the eldest brother thinks that Confucianism is not a religion, but if it's not a religion, why do you have to provide for the children and grandchildren of the Holy Master?

The so-called religion is nothing more than the creation of gods, the holy master is the god created by the world's scholars, it is not enough to be enshrined in the Confucian temple for generations, his children and grandchildren are also subject to the legacy of the ancestors, enjoy the worship, and religion is different? ”

Zhu Biao wanted to speak again and again, and finally sighed:

"Just think what you said makes sense, what does this have to do with the position of those scholars in the court?"

Zhang Yi replied:

"Confucianism has ruled the mainstream of thought in China for thousands of years, and scholars will also enshrine the holy master on the altar for their own interests, and the descendants of the Confucian family will benefit from this, they are the vested interests of the sect of Confucianism, and they are also the embodiment of the saint......

"At this point, Confucianism is also divided into two parts, Yan Shenggong holds the power of the sect of Confucianism, they only need to pass it on from generation to generation and maintain the sacredness of the holy teacher, while the other scholars, or study hard, or through other means, have mastered the secular public opinion and bureaucracy in China!"

"These two lines should not intersect, the duty of the Confucian family is to honestly do his Yan Shenggong to maintain the sanctity of Confucianism, and others hold the power of this land......"

"It's just that the Mongols came, although they didn't pay attention to Confucianism, but they gave the Confucian family enough power, especially Kong Kejian, he should have sat on the altar and maintained the power of Confucianism, but he still had to enter politics and meddle in the regime, which exceeded his duty!"

"What does the sacredness come from, from mystery and distance, the Confucian family should do a good job, is to maintain the sacredness of Confucianism, once Yan Shenggong stepped into the mortal world, his seven emotions and six desires, his words and deeds, will fall into the eyes of the people, for people to scrutinize......"

"On the other hand, when the descendants of the Holy Master enter the political arena, how should other scholars get along with him?"

Zhu Biao seemed to understand something, and fell into contemplation again.

Regime, clerical ......

Although Zhang Yi's opinion is not necessarily correct, it gives Zhu Biao a different way of thinking.

"The eldest brother thought that the prince of the court should support Yan Shenggong, but in fact, it was not...... Everyone has a position, the reason why the kings and scholars of the past dynasties held up the line of Yan Sheng Gong is for the sacredness of the holy teacher, which is the legacy of Confucius to future generations, and it is also their duty to do a good job. ”

"There is a double law in the world, you should enjoy the incense on the high desk, you can't get it yourself, Kong Kejian can't see through this truth, the Mongolian doesn't know how to be polite, he enjoys the benefits of two powers in one, after the advent of the new dynasty, when everything is set right, he still wants to continue the grace of the previous dynasty!"

"Let's not talk about his behavior at both ends of the snake and rat, which is itself retrograde with this era, even if Your Majesty can tolerate him, how can a scholar who has regained the right to speak be able to tolerate him?"

"The so-called ass determines the head, and readers also have their own interests and positions!"

In their eyes, there is no place for Kong Kejian above the temple, and the most suitable thing for him is to honestly return to Qufu to be his mud bodhisattva! To put it bluntly, if His Majesty doesn't carry him, maybe it can be regarded as protecting him......

When there is no conflict of interest, he is called Yan Shenggong, hehe, he really wants to enter the court at his level,

The soldiers who have passive interests deal with people, but they are even more ruthless than the generals on the battlefield! ”

Zhang Yi's words made Zhu Biao's mouth dry and he couldn't speak for a long time.

A small Yan Shenggong entered the court, it turned out that there were so many treacherous things behind it?

Zhu Biao lowered his head and pondered, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Zhang Yi said made sense.

In fact, whether it is the emperor, Zhang Yi, or Kong Kejian, who is far away in Qufu, they all understand this truth.

That Yan Shenggong knew that the Northern Yuan Dynasty was gone, but he still refused to give in to the Ming Emperor easily, probably because he knew that the Ming Dynasty did not have his place.

He misses Qianyuan, just like Zhang's normal loss, they miss the glory and status that Qianyuan gave them.

"The descendants of saints may not be saints!"

As Zhang Yi's words fell, Zhu Biaocai really felt that he was stupid, before he left the palace, his father could see his dissatisfaction, but he never explained it to him.

Perhaps, he is also waiting for himself to touch it and realize the sinister nature of this world for himself.

At this moment, Zhu Biao was very uncomfortable, seeing his lost appearance, Zhang Yi comforted him:

"Big brother, don't be sad, after all, you are still young and have room to grow!"

Zhu Biao: ......

Being comforted by a seven-year-old child, he didn't feel happy at all, right?

"Thank you!"

The latter solemnly bowed to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi hurriedly waved his hand: "My own family, why are you polite to me?" ”

Who knew that Zhu Biao immediately turned his head and asked the guards by the door to come over.

"How much silver do you have?"

Zhu Biao asked the other party out loud, and the other party quickly replied:

"Young master, when you went out, the master asked me to bring a hundred taels of silver!"

"Good!"

Zhu Biao pointed at Zhang Yi and said:

"Take my brother for a walk in Yingtianfu, whatever he buys to eat, whatever he buys, I will take care of it, and you will escort my brother back safely!"

Zhang Yi: ???

I'll go, what do you mean by that?
