Chapter 745: The Future of Confucianism
The Great Qing Dynasty, on the Great Wall of Wenqi.
Shirakawa was about to go down to the city to the place of the Holy Gate, and beside him were the worshippers of the Great Qing Dynasty.
Among them are two righteous men and gentlemen of the Confucian Academy.
Song Xiuwen still had broken thoughts in his mouth, but Bai Chuan said that this trip to the Holy Gate was the meaning of Zhili Academy, and this stubborn old man would no longer chirp crookedly, but he couldn't stand his own broken thoughts.
Another righteous gentleman has never gotten better with a black face since Bai Chuan arrived, and seeing that Bai Chuan was about to go down to the city, this old man spoke.
And Shirakawa had to be cautious.
Because his identity is not ordinary, the head of the Zhang family, the contemporary Yan Shenggong, Zhang Keji!
On the origin, it should be the elder brother of the Confucian sage Zhang Fuli, who has been passing on the self-denial and revenge.
"Sect Master Bai, do you really want to take a trip?"
Bai Chuan smiled helplessly, bowed down and saluted: "Yan Shenggong, the kid is also entrusted by the Zhili Academy, so he has to take a hard trip, now that the situation in Haozheng Dazhou is chaotic, everyone has to come here to gnaw on Confucianism, some things have to be done, please understand Yan Shenggong." ”
Zhang Keji didn't continue to blacken his face at this time, but smiled.
"The old man can still understand the situation, Confucianism, the most is that we people who can only play tricks, if we really want to talk about the end of the fight, each is not useful, and there is no realm cultivation, but I can't stand the beating of others. ”
Bai Chuan smiled helplessly, this Yan Shenggong is also real, very self-aware.
"It's just that Confucianism has come to this point, but it has to ask outsiders for help, and it is too embarrassing to join forces with the Demon Gate, the old man is still the same sentence, if you can't go, you can't go, Confucian people can afford to die, if you want to die, you can die first The old man, as long as the Bai Sect Master says a word, all the immortal martial arts monks of the Daqing Dynasty can go down to the city to fight with the Demon Gate, is the Confucian righteous way really unable to win these evil crooked ways?"
Zhang Keji said eloquently, but he didn't expect that as soon as these words came out, the worshippers of the Great Qing Dynasty on his side had already changed their faces.
Who wants to die?
It's just that you, an old man, have lived for so many years, and they have to find the Holy Gate to die, and they want to end the war as soon as possible, so that they can plan how to go to Xintiandi to develop.
Shirakawa had no choice but to smile back.
"Yan Shenggong, that's right, none of the Confucian monks were killed, but there were so many people in the Daqing Dynasty, should they die? ”
"The sages have already explained the great truths thoroughly, and the purpose is only to educate the world, and the kid feels that sometimes he has too high intentions and is difficult to get grounded. ”
"Take this war as an example, from the beginning of the landing of the Far Expeditionary Army on Haozheng Dazhou, Haozheng Dazhou dared to face the endless emergence of thousands of troops and horses, saying that they wanted to defend the country on the Great Wall, but who has ever retreated?"
"To say that the battle in the city throws your life behind, it is still everywhere. But after all, there are still some people, they are afraid of death, they are afraid of war, they are afraid of not being able to reunite with their families, has Yan Shenggong thought about these people?"
"Once the talks with the Holy Gate collapse and turn to the side of the expeditionary army, how much pressure will we Confucians bear?"
"Yan Shenggong, even if Confucianism can hold on and defeat these enemies, how many innocent lives will it take, and those who are willing to die will die as they deserve, but how can those who are forced to go to the battlefield tell their hearts?"
In the face of Bai Chuan's repeated rebuttals, at least those Daqing worshippers listened comfortably, this is the reason, who can live and want to die, you can't Yan Shenggong let the people who don't deserve to die go up and fight for their lives.
However, when Song Xiuwen wanted to refute Bai Chuan's words again, he was stopped by Zhang Keji.
This contemporary Yan Shenggong sighed: "It's the old man who thinks badly, Sect Master Bai has a point." ”
Seeing that Song Xiuwen was still a little twisted, Zhang Keji smiled and said: "Xiuwen, those of us who are bent on doing learning, and don't listen to things outside the window, feel that as long as we do a good job of learning and spread it, all living beings in the world will be influenced by my Confucian learning. ”
"But what about the facts? The world's Taoism and folk customs are becoming more and more unbearable day by day, we people have not done too thorough and too detailed learning, thinking that the holy master was ascending to the Tao and educating the people of the world, what a great merit of great achievements, but later, our descendants have not been able to carry forward the past and forge ahead and are declining, why?"
"Confucianism has gone downhill in recent years, and it is obvious to all in the human world, not that Confucian people have done poorly in learning, but that everyone has gone crooked. ”
"People-oriented, Fang is the avenue, in vain we are Confucian righteous men and gentlemen, and we have lived for thousands of years, and we have not thought through and carefully thought about it as much as Sect Master Bai, and I dare not be ashamed. ”
Yan Shenggong's words made Song Xiuwen's face change one after another.
Oh, yes.
If Confucian scholarship is getting better and better, why is there such a bad situation in front of us?
At the time of the establishment of the three religions, the Holy Ancestor obtained the greatest merit in his hands and created the world's classics, which was originally a great road paved for Confucian people to recreate the great merits of the world.
can be up and down for so many years, can Confucianism still have people with great merits?
It is a great merit to set rules for the world.
The great controversy between the good and evil of human nature is also a great merit for each of them.
And what's next?
What else can Confucianism be proud of to show off?
The ten saints enshrined in the Temple of Literature, what is the situation now, just take a look.
Master Wensheng's golden body was smashed to pieces by angry Confucian students who moved out of the Temple of Literature, and he didn't forget to spit a few mouthfuls of spit.
And the inherent goodness of human nature advocated by Lord Yasheng is not necessarily the words of reason.
And then Li Sheng is the one with the greatest Confucian merit over the years, but what?
After all, the line of science still embarked on a path that was a little harsh on the general public.
Nowadays, there are many Confucian students who criticize the shortcomings of science.
Gu Sheng advocated the restoration of ancient learning, and ended up with the same ending as Master Wensheng.
He worked hard for half his life, and he gave up halfway about Confucian reform.
The heart saint is beautiful enough, but he still shattered the golden body of the Confucian Temple, and even crushed the natal word.
There are also comprehensive saints and female saints, but there is no great sage like the most holy teacher, so that the Confucian line has completely embarked on a bright road.
It is an undeniable fact that Confucianism is at fault.
So on the occasion of Shirakawa's departure.
Contemporary Yan Shenggong Zhang Keji, righteous gentleman Song Xiuwen Qi Qi.
"The hope for the future prosperity of Confucianism lies in the body of Sect Master Bai, and I wish Sect Master Bai can create a new future for Confucianism. ”
I can disagree, but the future of Confucianism should not be so gloomy.
