Kong Fuqi was very depressed, as the head of the Southern Sect of the Confucian Mansion of the thousand-year-old family, he didn't even see Lin Jianyue, he was the Emperor of the Ning Dynasty! Although he has no actual power, he is the best weapon to stabilize the political power.

When Lin Jianyue crossed the river, Kong Fuqi was still waiting for Lin Jianyue to take the initiative to come to the door at home, of course, with Lin Jianyue's current prestige, he didn't dare to be too disrespectful, but he still wrote a persuasion table with thousands of words, and returned the favor!

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, and now Kong Fuqi was a little anxious, and he was ready to overpower the main family in Qufu and the Northern Sect in Dadu in one fell swoop!

As soon as he heard that Lin Jianyue had gone to Hangzhou, Kong Fuqi couldn't sit still, so he immediately put down the face of the so-called Yan Shenggong and ran to Wang Gui's house to beg Wang Gui to introduce him.

Wang Gui is a standard scholar, and he still has a sense of awe in his heart, but when he corresponded with Li Boyu in previous years, he mentioned that Lin Jianyue was quite dissatisfied with what Confucius had done, and he had been very hesitant, but he still decided to mention it when Lin Jianyue came back, no matter how he said it, it would be good for the new dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jianyue did not return to Jianning at all, but went directly to Yangzhou by boat, without Lin Jianyue's clear attitude, Wang Gui did not dare to take Kong Fuyu directly to Yangzhou to meet Lin Jianyue, plus there were also a lot of big and small troubles when cleaning up the land at that time, the matter of introducing Kong Fuyu was put aside, and Kong Fuqi could only be blind, not everyone could speak in front of Lin Jianyue.

Kong Fuqi still couldn't let go of his son and followed him to Luoyang, and when he was anxious, he received a letter from his ancestral family, asking him to immediately lead the main clansmen back to his hometown in Shandong.

Although the Confucian Mansion was divided into three major mounds in the troubled times, it was actually still one family, and the connection with each other was never severed.

Kong Fuqi returned to Shandong to know that the entire Shandong Peninsula was about to become a big military camp, and there were constantly large armies coming, and there were large armies leaving, and Qufu was on the main traffic artery, which was really a day of surprise!

Except for Lin Jianyue, who would dare to casually deal with the Kong family with a special identity? Fortunately, no one is difficult for them.

On the boundary of Shandong, it is very easy for the Confucian family to know what is going on, and now Shandong is not the front line, why are so many large armies traveling back and forth? When I asked, I found out that it was the strategy of Goryeo Liaodong.

This opportunity came, although Lin Jianyue didn't take care of the Kong family, but he didn't embarrass the Kong family, so Kong Fuyu and the main family Kong Fujing and others all thought that Lin Jianyue was hypocritical, waiting for them to take the initiative to visit.

Well, the strong are the greatest, anyway, it's not the first time I've done it, just take advantage of the attack on Goryeo to write an article, and promote the core idea of Confucianism's "inner sage and outer king", showing the special status and talent of the Confucian family, seeing that Lin Jianyue is going to dominate the world, this matter should not be delayed.

Lin Jianyue did not ignore the role of the Confucian family in the historical process, but because of the vision of later generations, he decided to press it first and give the world a wake-up call.

When the Kong family came to Luoyang, they still looked for Wang Gui first, and Wang Gui could only go to Lin Jianyue.

"Mr. Wang, did this Kong family come to see me, did you say anything? If it's anything to persuade the table, then I'm gone. I, Lin Jianyue, have ascended to the world, and I don't need the recognition of his Kong family. ”

Wang Gui was shocked, this was not a good sign, and immediately took out an article and handed it to Lin Jianyue.

"The Inner Saint and the Outer King? Good guys, that's really what they're good at. ”

At present, Lin Jianyue is not without opposition to Lin Jianyue's use of troops overseas at a huge cost, since this is the case, let's meet them, gather everyone, and talk about their thoughts well.

Luoyang Imperial Palace Hanyuan Palace, in Luoyang's civil and military officials gathered together, since you want to meet, then raise the specifications a little higher, to show that Lin Jianyue attaches great importance to scholars.

Nearly 10,000 words of the article, Kong Fuqi read it in one go, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, it seems that His Royal Highness King Yan still attaches importance to the Kong family, looking at the place and scale of today's meeting, the status of the Kong family may have a leap.

Lin Jianyue noticed that many people nodded in agreement, so he said to Wang Gui: "I wonder what Elder Wang thinks of Mr. Kong's advice?" ”

The hearts of everyone above the main hall tightened, His Royal Highness did not call Kong Fu Yan Holy Father, but Mr., so he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Wang Gui bowed down and said: "The sage of Confucius has clouds: for politics and virtue, such as Beichen, where he lives and all the stars are together. Your Royal Highness, being virtuous in government is the inner saint, and all the stars are the outer king. ”

Wang Gui has been in contact with Lin Jianyue for so long, he knows Lin Jianyue's general thoughts, and he also knows what Lin Jianyue wants to say when he sees the people of the Kong family today, so he just retold what everyone knows about the readers, and did not explicitly agree or oppose it.

Lin Jianyue has also done his homework.

"Inner sage, that is, everyone, especially the monarch, constantly improves his morality, morality, knowledge, ability, these things, self-denial and prudence, is self-cultivation, and cultivating to the extreme high place is a saint, this is not a problem, and it should be. However, I heard that your Kong family also has a Yan Shenggong in Dadu, what is going on? They are also the people of your Confucian family, the descendants of the Confucian saints, have they forgotten their ancestors? Have you forgotten the teachings of your ancestors? Where did they take the inner saints? ”

The hall was silent, Kong Fuqi's face was blue and white for a while, where did he dare to answer.

Confucianism has always paid attention to the golden mean, and generally does not let people with status and status not get off the stage in public, but Lin Jianyue doesn't care about this, he just wants to warn those people at both ends of the head and rat in public that there must be a bottom line in life and work, and don't throw away the most basic things for the sake of interests.

Lin Jianyue will not hold on to this topic, this is not the main thing he wants to talk about today.

"But Mr. Kong, you are still good, worthy of the descendants of Sage Kong, you persevered and did not surrender, a family can have a variety of choices, but one person can't do this." Lin Jianyue is telling everyone that it will not work to do such a two-headed bet in the future.

"You proposed that you should come to the king in a moral and gentle way, and you think it is still inappropriate to oppose the use of troops abroad, everyone is here today, and you will talk about your thoughts."

"Everyone knows that the reference to the inner sage and the outer king was first published in the Zhuangzi. The world", Confucius sage said it more clearly, which is the core idea of our Confucianism. Zhu Gong, Confucius Sage is the birthplace of Han Confucian culture, no one can deny this, but today, Confucianism is not only Confucian Sage, it is thousands of years of countless scholars who have exhausted their wisdom to continue to develop and grow, so there is such a strong vitality. The world has changed, and some narratives should change with the times. ”

Lin Jianyue elevated the status of later scholars for a purpose, telling everyone to have the spirit of questioning and the courage to improve.

"In the past, our ancestors thought that the place where we lived was the best, whether it was the time, location, culture, people's livelihood, and skills, it was the best in the world, and it was the central country. This statement is not wrong, but the approach is wrong, they think that if we do a good job of ourselves, those barbarians will be envious, and they will lean over and surrender automatically. Is this the case? Everyone knows that this is not the case, not to mention how many foreign invasions have been made since the Han and Tang Dynasties in the past, causing chaos in the world, almost destroying the world, there is a ready-made example in front of you, Menghu is still enslaving the Han people in Guanzhong, Hebei! ”

"Barbarians, naturally they are barbaric, they don't want to learn, they just want to rob, they want to snatch the fruits of our countless years of development. There are also many hypocritical expressions of envy, surrender, and learning, but they don't agree with it in their hearts, they have developed by learning our good things, and they immediately turned their faces, and finally robbed them! ”

Everyone was silent, knowing that what Lin Jianyue said was the truth. There are also people who are not convinced, but they dare not refute it. Most of them think that they can just live well, and they don't need to worry about what will happen in the future.

They can think like this, Lin Jianyue is unwilling, but he has the biggest fist and interests, so everyone has to listen to him.

"It is estimated that many people think that loneliness is unfounded, but if you don't do it, I don't do it, the final result will not be good. So, I, Lin Jianyue, have this opportunity, so I have to take the initiative to do it first. All the stars? These people will not listen to persuasion, nor will they lean on because you are good to him, they want to surrender sincerely, come from all over the world, integrate into us, and completely solve the hidden dangers, only by putting the knife on their necks, will they be obedient, will they learn sincerely, and will they really agree. Of course, if you really don't listen to persuasion, there is no need for it to exist. ”
