Chapter 264: The Third Great Controversy!! (Ask for subscription)
Twilight.
A decree came out of Xianyang Palace.
Three days later, a court meeting will be convened to discuss the celestial signs.
As soon as this notice came out, Xianyang instantly thundered, during this period of time there were too many dismantlings in the city, and all kinds of dismantling had already spread throughout the city, coupled with the annexation of all parties, there were rumors in the city, and the court never made any statement, which also made this rumor popular.
Now that the imperial court has finally faced it, this has eased the rumors in the city a little.
However, it is still very rampant.
West Side.
Ji Heng sat around the fire.
He had heard of the new decree.
He was not surprised by this.
However, compared to the miscellaneous outside the city, he seemed very calm, not because he knew the decision of the first emperor, but because he had already foreseen what was going to happen.
This is actually another Franco-Confucian dispute.
Historically, there was such a dispute between Taoism and Confucianism in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, the White Tiger View Conference, which was also the last glory of Huang Lao's theory, and since then, Huang Lao's theory has completely collapsed and disappeared in the long river of history.
However, many people don't know.
In fact, the Taoists won the argument.
However, the so-called victor is only from an academic point of view, from a historical point of view, it is undoubtedly a complete victory of Confucianism, after that court meeting, Confucianism completely controlled the world's thoughts, Taoism was completely expelled from the court, and related classics were also listed as banned books.
This is where history is interesting and cruel.
For the White Tiger View meeting, when Ji Heng heard about it for the first time, he was still very sorry in his heart.
It's just that after experiencing some things, he doesn't think so anymore, he thinks that Huang Laoxue was driven out of the court, in fact, it is inevitable, even if Wang Chong almost wrote "On Balance" with a coffin, and almost all the Confucians of the Han Dynasty were refuted, but in fact, it still can't change a bit.
Because after hundreds of years of Confucian education, the induction of heaven and man has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Most of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were influenced by Confucianism, so the controversy seemed to be just an argument about a natural disaster, but in fact it had long since become a political disagreement, this is a life-and-death struggle, Wang Chong is alone, even if he is full of mouths, others who can speak are speechless, and he can't shake the Confucian court that has grown into a towering jungle at all.
Failure is inevitable.
It is simply impossible to try to shake the entire officialdom with one person.
Nor realistic.
As for the follow-up Huang Lao Doctrine being banned, it is also reasonable, because this is a difference in political opinions, no matter which side wins in the end, the same choice will be made, and the winner takes all, but the follow-up supplement of Huang Lao's doctrine is too slow, and the world has long been controlled by Confucianism, in this case, once the world turns, it means that the Manchu ministers have become dissidents.
Therefore, no matter what the outcome of that debate was, the Taoists were destined to never return to the court.
Step by step, step by step, step by step.
The appearance of Wang Chong is more like the dying struggle of Taoism, but after the struggle, it is a complete silence, and Taoism is completely invisible from the Chinese court, and it is gradually influenced by Confucianism.
Or rather.
There was no point in that argument.
It's just that in the eyes of later generations, it is a little more tragic.
It also adds a little sigh.
Ji Heng held a pottery bowl in his hand, felt the warmth from the bowl, and said lightly: "In history, it was the Taoist and Confucian disputes, and this time it was the French and Confucian disputes, but compared with the influence of Confucianism on the world in the past, the current Confucian influence is far from enough, but the Great Qin is no longer the Qin State of the past. β
"It's destined for a war of words."
Come to think of this.
Ji Heng couldn't help but sigh.
The vitality of Confucianism is really tenacious.
Even if it is targeted like this, its impact on the world will always be there.
Kingcraft!!!
The cloak that Confucianism put on itself is too gorgeous.
It's too fascinating.
But it is precisely because of this that the arrogance must be more and more contained, otherwise once Confucianism rises again, the world will repeat the mistakes of history, and then the world will enter a state of tinkering and repairing for another three years.
The world should be spiraling forward.
It's not about running down one road.
Ji Heng drank all the hot water in the bowl, and sat in the room like this, watching the snowflakes fall in front of the court.
Hu Mansion.
As soon as the notice of the imperial court was announced, Hu Wujing immediately learned the news.
Hearing the news, Hu Wujing was immediately excited.
That's his forte.
In the past, he believed in the theory of the five elements of yin and yang, and when the code was formulated, it was he who proposed to the first emperor such things as national fortune, national color, white emperor, and green emperor, and these things were finally adopted by the first emperor.
It is precisely because of this that he was promoted to the position of Fengchang.
Now the topic is back up.
And how could he not feel exhilarated and rejoicing?
It's just that this excitement just came to his heart, and it dimmed in an instant, he has been dismissed, even if he wants to participate, he is not qualified to enter the palace at all, let alone talk about court affairs.
Come to think of this.
Hu Wujing's resentment towards Fusu has deepened a lot.
He was annoyed: "This celestial deliberation is clearly the time when I Hu Wujing showed his skills, but because I offended Fusu, he was abandoned early, and I can only look away now, which is really annoying." β
"Those people in the court, if you talk about other aspects, I may not be able to compare, but in terms of the five elements of yin and yang, my Hu Wujing is second to none, although I can't go to the court, but I can tell others about the relevant views."
"It's not an option."
"Through the mouth of others, convey your own thoughts, if you can be valued by Your Majesty, maybe you can use this to reinstate your official position, no matter how bad it is, you can also let Your Majesty see my disrespectful talent."
That's it.
Hu Wujing calmed down a lot.
Forthwith.
He pondered in his mind for a while, and decided to write to Du He about his opinion, first, Du He had dealings with him, and second, Du He was old, and he was dissatisfied with His Majesty because of the affairs of Guanshan Hai, and he needed to regain His Majesty's trust.
Meditate for a moment.
Hu Wujing began to put pen to paper.
"The way of heaven and man, great!"
"The heart of heaven is the will of the people, and the will of heaven is the will of the people."
"Shangshu Hongfan" said: Su, Shi Yuruo; Said, Shi Yangruo; It is said that the time is clear, and the time is fierce; said to plot, when it was cold; Said sacred, the wind is like that. Said to blame: said madness, constant rain; Said to be arrogant, Heng Yangruo; Said Yu, Heng Yiruo; It is said to be urgent, and it is always cold; Said Meng, Hengfeng Ruo. β
β.β
Hu Wujing wrote very energetically.
Since he was dismissed, he has been very aggrieved, and now he can finally make the best use of his talents, and he also cites scriptures and classics, and squandered all the thoughts and thoughts in his heart in the bamboo slips.
Half a day.
Hu Wujing finally stopped writing.
Looking at this exuberant article, Hu Wujing's eyes were full of self-satisfaction.
He believes that the article he has written today is in no way inferior to the original "Erudite Chapter", and even more significant.
He did not let the text burn in the fire, but let it dry naturally, and he sat on the sidelines, admiring it with a smile on his face, and only when the ink on it had completely dried up did he reluctantly close the bamboo slip and give it to his son to transmit to Duch.
Everything is fine.
Hu Wujing sighed.
He was still resentful of his current situation.
What a talent he is, but he is depressed, and he is framed for Fusu, so that he has no way to serve the country, and now it is clear that when he shines, he can only pretend to be in the hands of others, and he is really depressed in his heart.
Long.
Hu Wujing said indignantly: "Mencius said: Heaven will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, and I, Hu Wujing, may be suffering from such an experience, once my article is seen by His Majesty, I may not be able to return to the court." β
"It's just that Fusu is the prince, but this is a hidden danger."
Hu Wujing frowned.
He felt more and more that Fusu was getting in the way.
A thought.
He thought of Zhao Gao's wooing in his heart.
couldn't help but see some changes in Hu Wujing's eyes.
Just when Hu Wujing was full of resentment towards Fusu, Fusu and his party finally returned to Xianyang.
The news of Fusu's return to Xianyang, in less than half an hour, was heard in the ears of the courtiers one after another, and when they heard that Fusu had returned, the courtiers had different thoughts.
Mongfu.
Meng Tian still failed to return to the Northern Plains army.
However, he was not snubbed by the first emperor, but still highly valued, yesterday the first emperor summoned himself and Li Si, and made a statement on the disaster from heaven, and now the courtiers are constantly discussing, but he is extremely peaceful.
It's just that when he heard Fusu returning, Meng Tian couldn't help frowning, revealing a touch of worry.
In the study.
Meng Yi looked at his brother and asked curiously, "Why is my brother sad?" Is it because you are worried about the next court meeting? β
Meng Tian shook his head: "I am a soldier of the family, how can I be troubled by gods and ghosts?" β
"I'm worried that His Highness is coming back at this time, and he shouldn't have come back at this time."
Hear the words.
Meng Yi was stunned.
Meng Tian sighed and said: "You are a little too underestimated this court meeting, this court discussion seems to be a battle of celestial phenomena, but it is actually a dispute of political opinions, and most of it will evolve into a dispute between the royal road and the domineering, although Your Majesty has repeatedly ordered over the years that Daqin takes the law as a teaching and the officials as teachers, but many of the courtiers were born in the Kwantung region in the past, and many officials were deeply influenced by the Spring and Autumn Period of the Lu family, and these people showed that they cater to His Majesty's legal system." β
"In fact, what is admired in my heart is the royal road!"
"In the past, His Royal Highness was close to Confucianism and the royal road, so he was close to these officials, and this was actually a two-way choice at that time, and even many officials deliberately secretly understood Confucianism because of His Highness's closeness to Confucianism, but now with His Highness's turn, these people have to hide, but their thoughts and opinions can be hidden, and their political opinions cannot be hidden."
"Now that His Highness is back, he has encountered political opinions again."
"I'm afraid it will evolve into a dispute between law and Confucianism, just like it was four years ago."
"Your Highness is on the left and right, it is inevitable to be affected, no matter which side Your Highness is biased, it is destined to be affected, so what worries me is this, it is really not the right time for Your Highness to come back."
Hearing Meng Tian's words, Meng Yi was thoughtful.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Now that His Highness has returned, this is destined to be involved, I only hope that His Highness will not be affected too much, and I hope that His Highness's opinion will not have differences with His Majesty again, if there is a difference in political opinion, this may be very unfavorable to His Highness." β
"Ugh."
Meng Yi shook his head.
After half a year of precipitation, his whole person has been washed away from the lead, but because he has not been exposed to many things, he still seems a little immature in comparison, but compared with the past, he has become very mature and stable.
Although the two brothers were worried, they did not dare to contact Fusu.
Meng Tian's identity is special, if he contacts Fusu privately and knows about it, it is easy to arouse suspicion, even if they have a good personal relationship with Fusu, they can only wait and see at this time.
Meanwhile.
Heard Fusu come back.
Zhang Cang also chuckled in his heart.
He choked his hands and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, what is good for you to let me say, if you don't come back sooner or later, why do you come back at this juncture?" Isn't this looking for trouble for yourself? This celestial controversy may be a controversy to reconstruct the mind, and this controversy is no less than the original controversy between the kings and the domineering, and it is not inferior to the recent Franco-Confucian controversy. β
"The battle between kings and tyrannies ended with the death of LΓΌ Buwei and the exile of all his followers to Bashu."
"The dispute between Confucianism and Confucianism ended with the burning of books, the expulsion of Confucianism from the court, and the complete prohibition of Confucianism."
"Now that the big dispute is resuming, His Highness is involved in it, and I am afraid that it will endanger itself."
"Ugh."
"What a problem."
Zhang Cang's eyes were full of worry.
He saw this celestial controversy very clearly.
This is also related to his good arithmetic, he privately looked for those star officials, trying to read the relevant classics, to understand the situation related to the celestial phenomena, but was obstructed by the star officials in every way, and after he was promoted to the imperial history, directly through the hands of the imperial history, read some classics, so he has a deeper understanding of the situation of the celestial phenomena.
The so-called celestial foreshadowing is simply artificially concocted, or interpreted.
He scoffed at it.
It's just that he can borrow too few classics, and the Star Official Day is intentionally wary, so he can't go further, but in his heart, he has already classified these Star Official Day as fraudsters, but the world has been deeply affected by the gods and ghosts in the past, even the First Emperor was also affected by it, although he understood some truths, but he didn't dare to write a book to speak out.
And this time, the First Emperor put forward a big proposal in a unique way.
also summoned Li Si and Meng Tian in private, which couldn't help but make Zhang Cang vigilant.
It's just that he really can't get the true thoughts of the first emperor, but he understands that this may evolve into a division of the court, and once the choice is wrong, he may be struggling in the court in the future, and even will not advance but retreat.
At such a sinister moment, how could he want to see Fusu get involved?
But unexpectedly, Fusu came back at this time.
This made Zhang Cang feel deep pressure.
Now is different from the past, Fu Sufei is the son of the past, but the prince of Great Qin, once the political views are different from Your Majesty, it will affect the stability of the court in the future, in the past, His Royal Highness and the first emperor had differences, it was with Ji Heng's help, so he reluctantly relieved His Majesty, if there is a disagreement again, I am afraid it may not be able to be eliminated so easily, and once Ji Heng is involved too much, he may not be able to be safe.
Come to think of this.
Zhang Cang also looked worried.
He whispered, "Woe to you, woe to you." β
"Who knows the extreme?!"
