Until this time, a scholar from Yunlu Academy took over the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, he did not continue to adhere to the ideas of his predecessors, and resolutely devoted himself to Renzong, and solved the matter for Renzong despite abuse. The tumultuous battle for the country's capital has finally come to an end.

Because of this incident, Yunlu Academy was disgusted by Renzong, and he realized that the existence of Yunlu Academy was not conducive to the rule of imperial power. At this time, Cheng Hui proposed to set up a national eunuch and train talents by the imperial court itself. ”

And the weakening of Confucianism began at this point. ”

This is the origin of the dispute between Yunlu Academy and Guozijian over Confucian orthodoxy.

Guozijian is a national university, and Yunlu Academy is private, how can a private university do a national ..... Xu Qi'an suddenly realized.

After Xu Xinnian finished speaking, he said in a tone that was taking the school exam, "What do you think of the eldest brother..... Well, I'm referring to the fight for the country, which has nothing to do with academics. ”

Do you think that when it comes to academics, a mud-legged person like the eldest brother can't answer? Xu Qi'an complained in his heart and said with a smile: "On the surface, it is a struggle for the country, but in fact, it is a struggle for power. ”

"If a scholar wants to be ambitious, he must have great power in his hands, and the amount of power in a country is fixed. When you have more power, others lose power. The highest level of party struggle is to overthrow the emperor and become the uncrowned emperor. ”

Xu Xinnian was originally casually taking the school exam, but when he heard this, his face changed greatly.

Xu Qi'an glanced at him: "What, what I said is wrong?"

That's right, but you can't talk nonsense.... Xu Xinnian took a deep breath: "You go on." ”

Xu Qi'an nodded: "No matter how powerful the Confucian dragon slaying technique is, the imperial power is stronger after all." Learn to write and martial arts, and the goods are in the emperor's house. That's it all. Since ancient times, whether it is greedy or virtuous, as long as you are a powerful minister, there will be no good end. ”

Controlling the government is only temporary, and it will be liquidated in the end, because a courtier will always be a courtier. When Xu Qi'an read history in his last life, there were too many uncrowned emperors, which one had a good end?

Cao Apu doesn't count, the war years when the imperial power collapsed are another matter.

Xu Xinnian asked with some urgency: "Is there any way to crack it?"

What the eldest brother told him, the academy will not teach.

"No solution!" Xu Qi'an shook his head and sighed: "The court is like a battlefield, the party struggle is cool for a while, and the whole family is crematorium." ”

What he said was strange, but there seemed to be a thousand years of literature and history brewing in his eyes. Looking at these eyes, Xu Xinnian was stunned.

"But big brother has another idea here. Xu Qi'an changed his words.

"Big brother, please speak. ”

"Qian Daru's deeds are a living example, when you can affect the fortune of a country, you will go from a scholar who is dependent on the imperial power to a strong man who can sit on an equal footing with the imperial power. ”

Xu Xinnian's eyes lit up, and as soon as a look of joy appeared on his face, he heard Xu Qi'an say leisurely: "Erlang is very smart, and his children can be taught." ”

"....." Xu Erlang reacted at this time, obviously I was taking the school exam....

Xu Qi'an did not continue to speak, thinking about a question in his heart, although the future of Yunlu Academy in the officialdom was cut off, it was still a holy place to control the Confucian cultivation system.

It's just the career that has been cut off.

Although Xu Xinnian did not say whether it was the academy's career that began to weaken, or the entire Confucian system that began to weaken, Xu Qi'an felt that it was the latter.

Because combined with the waterfall, Xu Erlang said: For two hundred years, Confucianism has only three grades at the highest.

Is it because after the three grades, the Confucian system must be admitted as an official, or does it involve something like Confucian luck?

"So what does this monument mean, and why is it standing here? He asked.

Xu Xinnian stared at the Chinese characters of the stele, his eyes were complicated, and he sighed: "This is the follow-up to the Confucian orthodoxy dispute, or rather, a part." ”

"That Cheng Yasheng is amazingly talented, after he established the Guozijian, he knew that if he wanted to surpass Yunlu Academy, he must have his own education system. Otherwise, the students of Guozijian are still the students of Yunlu Academy.

So he devoted himself to studying the scriptures of the saints, re-annotating them, and incorporating them into his own thoughts. After 13 years, an education system has finally been created. ”

"Preserve the principles of heaven and destroy people's desires?" Xu Qi'an moved.

Xu Erlang nodded, and with the conversation just now, he began to be willing to explain academic issues to his cousin, and said:

Cheng Yasheng believes that everything in the world follows a certain law, which is called "reason", and reason is the most essential thing in the world, and it is also the most correct. ”

"Everything depends on reason in order to flourish. But in the chaos and intermingling of all things in the world, people will lose themselves and lose their reason. ”

"Therefore, it is necessary to destroy people's desires with heavenly principles?" Xu Qi'an said.

Saving Heavenly Principles and Destroying Human Desires is the outline of the Guozijian School of Thought, how to operate it specifically, Xu Qi'an is waiting for Xu Xinnian's explanation.

Xu Xinnian continued: "Cheng Yasheng has formulated a set of rules for the saints, and if the reader follows this set of rules, he will not make mistakes, it is correct, and it should be in harmony with the laws of heaven and earth.

This set of rules elevates loyalty, filial piety, moderation, and righteousness to the height of heavenly principles. ”

Xu Xinnian sneered: "The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die; the father wants the son to die, and the son has to die; he should sacrifice his life for the sake of righteousness; and he should die for the sake of protecting the festival." ”

Xu Qi'an listened silently, and suddenly asked, "What do you think about the old days, is this right or wrong?"

Xu Xinnian was stunned, he looked at his cousin blankly, and opened his mouth to speak, but a mysterious force stuck his throat, making him speechless.

Xu Qi'an understands that this kind of power is called "ideological imprisonment".

"So, there is this stele?" Xu Qi'an turned his gaze back to the inscription.

"Hmm. Xu Erlang nodded: "The dispute between Yunlu Academy and Guozijian is an academic dispute and a dispute of ideas. But this stele has stood in the Yasheng School Palace for two hundred years, it has never fallen, it does not fall for a day, and Yunlu Academy will not be able to defeat Guozijian for a day. ”

"The dean has been sitting in the academy for more than ten years, trying to refute what is recorded in the inscription, trying to create a more mature and correct set of ideas, but he failed. ”

"Because it represents truth, it represents rightness. Xu Qi'an said.

"Yes. Xu Xinnian sighed: "Not only the dean, but in fact, the great Confucians and gentlemen of the academy have been competing with this inscription, but no one can succeed." The thoughts of Yasheng can not be refuted by those who are idle. ”

"That blank tablet over there...."Xu Qi'an had a guess in his heart.

"It was the dean who stood there, but for more than ten years, he had never put pen to paper. Xu Xinnian pointed to the table next to the blank stone tablet and said:

Later, some students and Confucians tried to inscribe on the stone tablet to compete with Cheng Yasheng's inscription, but they were all erased the next day. However, the pen and inkstone on the table remained, perhaps the dean also had a trace of anticipation. ”

Because of this, whenever students have a whim, they feel that they are excellent, they come here to write inscriptions. It's a pity that the person the dean was expecting never showed up. ”

"I used to think that I could, and I also inscribed on the stone tablet..."Speaking of this, Xu Xinnian did not continue, obviously not planning to tell his cousin about his former youth and frivolity, so as not to die socially again.

The righteous death festival repays the grace of the king, and it is famous for centuries..... Xu Qi'an faced the inscription, was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice:

"Say goodbye, the eldest brother asks you, the king is important, or the world is heavy. ”

Xu Xinnian did not hesitate: "Nature is the life of the world." ”

Xu Qi'an asked again: "Then why are you studying?"

Xu Xinnian subconsciously said: "Loyal to the monarch to serve the country...."

After saying that, he himself was stunned.

Xu Qi'an didn't care, and continued to ask: "Is it really a scholar's lifelong pursuit to go down in history?"

Xu Xinnian did not answer, his silence said it all.

What the two great Confucians of Yunlu Academy did in order to rub poetry also explains everything.

Xu Qi'an sighed faintly.

The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, why?

Why does the Father want the Son to die and the Son to die?

Xu Qi'an said with a smile: "I'm not a scholar, but I also want to write something, say goodbye, and grind it for me." ”

Xu Xinnian frowned.

Xu Qi'an said: "Anyway, the pen and ink are placed here, isn't it just for people to write, if the eldest brother doesn't write well, someone will naturally erase it tomorrow." ”

After listening to this, Xu Xinnian went to polish the ink. He stood in front of the monument with a pen and asked, "What does the eldest brother want to write?"

"This time I'm going to write it myself. Xu Qi'an snatched the pen and stared at the blank stone stele.

The face of the stall owner who had eaten breakfast this morning suddenly came to mind, obviously in pain and dying, but he didn't dare to ask for silver. Poor as a dog.

The problem of the officials of the Dafeng Dynasty has accumulated for a long time, and the palace is full of well-dressed beasts and beasts who are loyal and patriotic, but they have never lowered their eyes of pity to the people at the bottom.

He thought of Zhou Li's arrogant and domineering posture when he rode on the street. I thought of the record of rampant in the middle of the capital.

The existence of extraordinary force has made the ills of the feudal dynasty more and more vividly displayed, and the people at the bottom have not even had the courage to resist.

In his previous life, he knew at least a few vigorous peasant uprisings, but in this world, peasant uprisings were quickly extinguished without even having a chance to take shape.

Xu Qi'an took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, and wrote:

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations!"

After writing, Xu Qi'an only felt refreshed, spit out the depression in his chest, threw the pen, and said loudly: "Say goodbye, this is what a reader should do." ”

Bang!

In Xu Ci's old mind, it was as if a thunderbolt had slashed down, splitting the chaotic spiritual consciousness and splitting the shackles of the soul.

He looked at his cousin blankly, not knowing if it was an illusion, Xu Erlang seemed to see the rich purple qi above his cousin's head flash away.

Click!

The stone tablet on the side suddenly cracked, and a huge crack appeared that ran through the upper and lower parts.

The brothers were taken aback, and before they could react, the entire Yasheng Xue Palace trembled, the dome fell with ashes, and the candlesticks toppled over.

The Yasheng sculpture rushed into a breath of fresh air, breaking through the white clouds on the top of the mountain, and visions were seen dozens of miles away.

Xu Qi'an was stunned, and his face was extremely ugly: "What's the matter?" It seems to be in trouble. ”

"What's the trouble, what's the trouble?" Xu Xinnian was emotional and said loudly: "What does this have to do with us, we have never been to the Yasheng School Palace." ”

After speaking, he grabbed the door with his head in his arms and fled.

"Reader, you wait for me. Xu Qi'an pulled his legs and chased after him, saying in his heart that at the critical moment, he was still a scholar with strong adaptability.

PS: The science in the book is an academic school that I diverged and changed based on "Cheng Zhu Lixue", which is very different from the science in reality, don't be more serious.

This belongs to the reality of the material, and then change it yourself, after all, you asked me to create an academic school.... Well, I'm so hanging, what other novels do I write?

The reason for the explanation is that "Cheng Zhu Lixue" is polarized and easy to attract unnecessary war of words, so I have to make a statement.

Ask for recommendations, cuties.
