Chapter 3 I have a great Confucianism to defend me
Wang Su smiled and left Zhuge Dan's mansion in the car.
When he returned to Situ Mansion, he called his long history and told him what he was going to do.
Changshi Kong Chao couldn't help but speak at this moment: "Master Wang, although Zhuge Gong understands the classics and can debate, his scripture attainments are not deep enough. ”
"Among the ministers of the temple, only Zhong Gong has the deepest attainments, and the rest of the people, I dare not comment on their knowledge."
The Zhong Gong mentioned by Kong Chao refers to the big bell, that is, Zhong Yu.
At present, there are two kinds of academic thought that are the most prosperous, the first is Zheng Xue, headed by Zheng Xuan, and its supporters are Zheng Xiaotong, Sun Yan, Ma Zhao and others, and the second is Wang Xue.
That is, Wang Su's doctrine, supported by Kong Chao, Zhong Yu and others.
This Kong Chao was originally a doctor of economics, and after Wang Su served as Situ, he brought him to his side and asked him to help him do things.
Kong Chao's attainments in scripture are very good, and he also has the strength to despise the ministers of the current dynasty in scripture.
Wang Su sat on the top seat, his face full of smiles.
"I went to them just to get them something to do, and I never thought I could rely on them to do it."
Wang Su waved his hand, "I can do it by myself." ”
Wang Su's words are not bragging, it's hard to say anything else, but if it's just about scriptures, let alone Zhuge Liang's birthday, even Zhuge Liang is not easy to do, provided that he comes alone, don't bring the army.
Wang Su opened up his own academic theories and has been fighting against Zheng Xuan.
The relationship between Wang Xue and Zheng Xuan is a bit like Confucianism and Mohism in the past, that is, everything is the opposite of you!
Wang Su did not like Zheng Xuan's scholarship very much, his scholarship was a criticism of Zheng Xuan's classics, Wang Su himself was an ancient literature apprentice, and Zheng Xuan's modern literary apprentice was naturally opposed, so he tried his best to change the official doctrine into his own learning.
Although Wang Su is an apprentice of ancient literature, he learns everything, and his sources of knowledge are very mixed, and he never looks at the position, even if it is a modern text, if it is useful, he will also use it.
Wang Su is very different from Zheng Xuan, Zheng Xuan is a very pure scholar, and many of his ideas come from a scholar's thinking about the world.
For example, Zheng Xuan, the mythical king, believes that the ministers and the people should unconditionally obey the words of the rulers, even if they let you die, you have to die with a smile.
He combined filial piety with the monarch and ministers, and proposed to treat the emperor like his parents, absolute obedience, he believed that the courtiers should not keep property, should not have too much power, and the emperor has the mandate of heaven
This later looked very pedantic and was often criticized as servile.
However, judging from the era in which Zheng Xuan lived, the princes were divided, the prestige of the Son of Heaven plummeted, and the people were suffering from war.
This little old man wanted the princes to listen to the emperor, put down the weapons in their hands, stop killing, stop fighting, and stop thinking about fighting for power.
When you think about it like this, you even feel a little sad.
And Wang Su himself is a minister, even a very powerful minister, so his learning is more practical and does not have too many idealistic factors.
His scholarship was for his own political opinions.
In the early stage, Wang Su advocated "valuing credit", "lightly conscription", "reassuring the people", "prudent punishment" and so on.
Wang Su in the middle period advocated "light forced labor" and "reassuring the people".
In the later period, Wang Su advocated "advocating frugality".
After that he died.
His various opinions have been changing according to the changes in the world, and as for what has changed, well, everyone knows in their hearts.
However, it is undeniable that Wang Su's proposition still has some basis and is carried out in accordance with the needs of governing the country at that time.
He found that the atmosphere was wrong, and thought that it was necessary to re-credit, although his in-laws Luoshui farted, he found that the punishment was too heavy, and he thought that he could not move the three clans, although his in-laws were an expert in the three clans, he thought that the scholars were too extravagant, and thought that they should be thrifty, although his son was one of the protagonists in Wang Shidoufu
At this moment, Wang Su talked about scriptures with Kong Chao.
Obviously, Wang Su's position has changed again.
Wang Su said seriously: "The sages in the past discovered the law of the evolution of things, so they left the documents early. ”
"Ah???h
Kong Chao was stunned, do you want to come to this set again??
Wang Su's most famous behavior was not that he opposed Zheng Xuan, but that he was particularly fond of forging the books of the ancestors.
At this point, he should pay Xun Yi their royalties.
Xunzi is a master who likes to use the shell stories of the ancients to say his own ideas, and several of his disciples have perfectly inherited his character, and each of them is a king of storytelling.
The same is true of Wang Su, whose favorite thing to do is to speak his truth through the mouth of a saint.
Wang Su had already used this method several times, so when he talked about the books of the saints again, Kong Chao felt very confused.
However, this does not affect Kong Chao's admiration for Wang Su, this sage's doctrine is not something you want to make up, this thing needs a little ability, so that some people can believe it, otherwise you will be poked in the back!
Wang Su picked up the pen and pondered.
He thought about the many policies of the emperor after he ascended to the throne, and then slowly wrote down a few proposals.
"Great unification", "de-flashy", "pragmatic", "credit-oriented", "thrifty"
Others first look for the classics, and then shape their own ideas from the classics.
But this is not the case with the old man Wang, he did the opposite, first set a few propositions, it doesn't matter if there is no classic endorsement, he can write a few classics by himself
Even, these can't be regarded as Old Man Wang's propositions, he is thinking about the emperor's propositions.
What the emperor has done these days, his thoughts, are Wang Su's ideas.
He wants to turn today's Five Classics and Taixuan into the theoretical basis for supporting the emperor's current governing policy!!
Not only Wang Su, but several ministers in the court were also busy with this matter.
Soon, the news reached another master of scripture.
Zheng Chong sat in the study, looked at the letter in his hand, and pondered.
The servant on the side carefully poured him tea.
Zheng Chong is also the current master of scripture, and his reputation is not easy to say, but his scripture attainments may not be as good as Wang Su.
He glanced at it hurriedly, then shook his head and set the letter aside.
"Wang Su is personally involved, so why do we need it?"
"It's a lot of work."
He sighed, picked up the tea, and took a few bites.
At this moment, he saw the servants on the side stop talking.
Zheng Chong is peaceful, these people were introduced to him by Zhang Hua at the beginning, these people are quite honest and very diligent, Zheng Chong has never seen such a diligent person, he has to clean the study four or five times a day, and it is spotless.
This couldn't help but make Zheng Chong even more moved.
This Zhang Hua is really a good person.
After being served for a long time, seeing that he seemed to have something to say at this moment, Zheng Chong asked with a smile, "Do you have something?" It's okay to be blunt, do you want to go home once? ”
The servant hurriedly said: "Gong Zheng, your son will be here soon, we were originally all official slaves, and we made mistakes, after you left, we have nothing to do, maybe we will be sent to the bitter cold land Everyone is very frightened when they think of this matter." ”
"Therefore, I dare to ask you to write some books for all of us, so that we can do an errand in Luoyang, so that we will not be sent to the secluded land."
The servant said it very sadly.
Zheng Chong couldn't help but sigh, "You have served well these days, okay, the old man will do you a favor and let them come, the old man will write for you." ”
"Thank you Zheng Gong!! Thank you Zheng Gong!! ”
"Oh? Writing a classic? ”
In the Taiji Palace, Cao Chao looked at the several letters sent by Liu Lu and narrowed his eyes.
It's kind of interesting.
Cao Chao knew that Wang Su was originally doing this, and he would give whatever proposition the temple needed.
Moreover, Sima Yan raised his scriptures very high, directly surpassing Zheng Xuan's doctrine, but his ideas also declined with the fall of the Jin Dynasty.
You can say that Wang Su has no integrity, or you can say that he doesn't know how to teach his children, and his personal morality is not so high, but you can't question his academic level.
After all, this is the first big man to combine metaphysics and Confucianism to create a new Confucianism with the color of Wei and Jin.
In the era of metaphysics and Confucianism, this person directly merged into one.
One hand of the Five Classics, the other hand of the Taixuan Classics, the same generation of people who beat were all rats, and those who were not rats were all executed by his son-in-law.
What new knowledge is he doing?
Do you mean?
Cao Chao had a vague guess in his heart, and this guess suddenly gave him a great sense of expectation.
This person is not making a temporary forgery, but is temporarily looking for the doctrine of the saints to provide a basis for his own policy, right?
Cao Chao has always wanted to do this, but although Cao Chao is good at classics, he doesn't learn many classics, and he doesn't have Wang Su's kind of accumulation, and he can't come to study scriptures all day, and there are many major events in the temple.
If Wang Su can do this for himself, then he will be the number one in the new era, and it is useless for anyone to come!
Cao Chao looked at Liu Lu on the side, "I know about this, I did a good job, I was able to get so many letters."
Liu Lu laughed, "It's all because of Zhang Jun's help." ”
"Don't be so complacent, your matter has just begun, there will be more and more things to do in the future, I am waiting for the day when you arrange the manpower to Liu Chan and Sun Xiu!"
Liu Lu said with a smile: "This matter is not in the minister, but in Your Majesty, the minister is willing, I am afraid that this person has not been arranged to go over, and they have already been arrested by His Majesty!" ”
Cao Chao raised his head and laughed.
"When did you start learning what to do?"
"Your Majesty, He Zeng seems to know the people we have arranged for the past, he has been touting His Majesty in front of all kinds of people recently, even if there is no one, he has to bow down in the direction of the palace, and there are words in his mouth"
"Heh, it's okay if He Zeng sees it, don't worry."
"Yui!!"
