Scholars master the power of heaven and earth, but they can't participate in court affairs, to be precise, it's not that they can't participate, but they don't dare to participate easily.

I am afraid that because of my own judgment, things will not be done well, so that the fortunes of the country will decline, and the responsible Confucian scholars will have to pay the corresponding price.

Of course, the biggest trouble is still borne by the imperial court.

Therefore, although Confucianism has unique advantages, it also has corresponding weaknesses.

Xu Shouyun thinks it makes sense, after all, scholars are more about 'thinking' and 'pattern', and there is no problem at all for them to educate the people.

To allow such people to participate in the court struggle is basically digging their own graves.

To take the simplest example, Confucian benevolence, if placed on the battlefield, there are 100,000 soldiers wearing rattan armor, invulnerable, and our army is defeated and retreated.

At this time, the only solution is to attack with fire, may I ask whether to attack or not to attack?

Ordinary people will choose to attack with fire, but this group of Confucian protégés may not necessarily choose to attack with fire, after all, benevolence comes first, so it is not necessarily a good thing for Confucianism to participate in politics.

Simply Confucianism will study behind closed doors with peace of mind, which is good for everyone, of course, Confucianism also has a responsibility, that is, to keep the king's final bottom line.

If the king did something that people and gods were angry about, Confucianism would definitely step in to stop it.

The interests involved in the court officials are too great, if you meet an emperor who knows the art of the emperor too well, the hundred officials will become the pawns of the emperor, and the emperor will act as wrong.

At this time, Confucianism is about to appear and start talking to the emperor, of course, obedience is to talk to the heart, and disobedience is to be sprayed.

In this way, a perfect closed loop is formed.

"Then how can you become a Confucian scholar?"

Xu Shouyun was particularly interested in this, after all, Confucian scholars are equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death, according to Li Yun.

Everyone in the world respects Confucian scholars, whether it is the Great Wei Dynasty, the Great Chu Dynasty, or the Great Jing Dynasty, as long as they are Confucian scholars, they are respected everywhere.

And killing Confucianism will affect the national fortune, even if it is the enemy Confucian, it will also be affected by a certain amount of national fortune.

Of course, killing one's own country has the greatest impact.

Although he is undercover, it does not affect the multi-point hole cards, so Xu Shouyun is particularly concerned.

"Virtuous brother, Confucianism, pay attention to fate, understanding and heart, the lack of one of the three, it is difficult to enter the product throughout his life."

"This is also the reason why there are so many people in the world who read books, but there are few who really enter the products."

The latter replied.

"How?"

Xu Shouyun touched the cup with the other party again, then took a sip and asked the other party.

"Confucianism has ten qualities, which is the same as the realm of martial artists."

"Condensation, self-cultivation, self-cultivation, knowledge, enlightenment, sainthood, great Confucianism, semi-saint, sub-saint, literary saint."

"These ten grades are realms, one product and one heavy heaven, and the first three grades are not real Confucian protégés."

"The realm of condensation is to read the book of the sage, to understand the Confucian righteousness left by the saint between heaven and earth, so as to condense it in the body, as long as the Confucian righteousness is condensed, it will be regarded as a product."

"Self-cultivation, through continuous reading, after condensing more and more Confucian righteousness, you can nourish the body, and the qi and blood can contain Confucian righteousness, so that life will be prolonged and all diseases will not invade."

"Cultivating the state of nature is still through reading, cultivating one's nature, understanding benevolence, understanding benevolence, and understanding the Tao."

"These three products can be broken through reading."

"But you have to read the works of the saints, as for the future realm, there are some conditions."

"For example, if you want to reach this realm, you must know the meaning of your reading, if you are not clear, then you will not be able to take a step forward in your life."

"Nine out of ten Confucian scholars are stuck in this realm, and as for the first three grades, there are many of them, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have basically reached this realm."

"To the seventh grade, except for the six scholars and some scholars, there are not many."

"The elder of the Great Wei Shoufu Liu Pavilion has also been stuck in the Liupin Ming Enlightenment Realm for I don't know how many years, and there is no progress."

Li Yun explained to Xu Shouyun seriously, but as Li Yun said this, Xu Shouyun was surprised.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yanming was actually a Confucian practitioner, and he also reached the sixth grade.

As if seeing Xu Shouyun's surprise, Li Yun lowered his voice slightly and said, "Old Liu Ge is extremely talented, and he is one of the few scholars in the six-hundred-year-old Great Wei who has even read three yuan. ”

"His talent is incomparably extraordinary, when he first entered the office, three great Confucians came to the Academy of Literature to persuade him, thinking that Liu Ge was always qualified to enter the saint."

"But none of the three great Confucians persuaded Liu Ge Lao, and Liu Ge Lao is not the highest level among the hundred officials."

"The really high is the Ministry of Rites, the five virtues of the Holy Realm, one step further is the Great Confucianism, if the Ministry of Rites Shangshu becomes the Great Confucian, it can not only enhance the national fortune, but also create a precedent."

"Among the three major dynasties, there is no courtier who can become a great Confucian, and there have only been two before and after the Great Wei Dynasty for six hundred years, and then they all entered the Temple of Literature, enjoyed the incense of the people, and were canonized after death, immortal, and their children benefited from generations."

Li Yun spoke, his eyes full of envy.

Xu Shouyun nodded, wrote down all these knowledge points, and was deeply surprised at the same time.

Unexpectedly, the first assistant of Great Wei was still a champion of the three yuans in the company.

Even the three yuan is not a trivial matter, the township test, the meeting test, and the palace test are all the first to take the case, that is, the first place, the imperial examination in the previous life for so many years, and even the three yuan people are only seventeen people.

After a thousand years, there are seventeen people, and the Great Wei Dynasty is only six hundred years, but I am afraid that there are very few people who are even in the middle of the three yuan.

This Liu Shoufu is by no means an idle person.

"Dare to ask my brother what realm he has now?"

Xu Shouyun continued to ask.

Upon hearing this, the latter was a little modest: "No, it's almost nine grades." ”

However, it seems to be modest, but there is still a bit of self-satisfaction between the words, compared to the identity of the other party's champion, Li Yun seems to value this more.

As for almost nine grades, it means ten grades.

"It's amazing."

Xu Shouyun praised him regularly, and immediately said his intentions: "This sage book, what book does it refer to?" ”

"Is it the Four Books and the Five Classics?"

Xu Shouyun asked, he was very interested in Confucianism, to be honest, it was impossible not to be moved, before the Great Wei Dynasty was destroyed, he really had to get some hole cards.

If you encounter any danger, you won't be helpless, right?

After all, from Fang Cai's conversation, Li Yun also mentioned some demons, and as for the specific situation, Xu Shouyun didn't ask much.

Anyway, this world is a fantasy world, and there are absolutely only benefits to preparing more means hole cards, and there is no harm.

"The four books count, but the five classics don't count."

"However, it needs to be accompanied by annotations, these annotations are written by saints, and if there are no annotations, it is difficult to enter the original text of the four books."

"Since Brother Xian is interested, I do have a book of gentlemen's notes that I can lend to Brother Xian."

The other party spoke, and Xu Shouyun suddenly showed joy.

It's a good feeling.

Good brother.
