Chapter 356 Reconciliation in the Confucian home!
"Zhao Mian, what do you mean?" Liu Sanwu suddenly looked at Zhao Mian with an evil look on his face. He said angrily: "You mean I am wrong? Do you know Xia Zhibai's point of view? How shocking and deviant it is.”
“How can I ignore this after reading for so many years. Don’t ask?”
“Xia Zhibai does not follow the Confucian sages and wants to move out the Mohists and Taoists who have long been forgotten in the garbage dump of history. He also arrogantly wants to tamper with history so that the world will accept his ideas. With such a set of views and such a crazy thing, how can I stand by and watch?"
Liu Sanwu was furious.
Zhao Mian looked confused.
He didn't say anything.
I just followed Liu Sanwu’s words, but ended up being criticized in various ways by Liu Sanwu.
Say no more.
Is there anything wrong with what he said?
My father-in-law is indeed old. Compiling books is a physical job that requires a lot of time and energy. With Liu Sanwu's current physical condition, he may not be able to handle it. Now that he has decided not to get involved, he will naturally take it as his own. Get more rest.
As a result, Liu Sanwu seemed to be stressed.
Zhao Mian said: "My father-in-law, my son-in-law doesn't know what happened between you and Xia Zhibai, but Xia Zhibai's ideas are indeed wild and unconstrained, and very different from ordinary people, but even if your majesty asks him to compile a book, he has his own As a minister, how can my son-in-law oppose your Majesty's will?"
"Besides."
"Even if the content in Xia Zhibai's book is biased, there are so many bachelors in the Hanlin Academy, so there is really no need for you to remind him. Other bachelors will report it to your majesty. With your majesty's wisdom and prowess, how could he not discover it? If there are any problems, Xia Zhibai will be punished and the inappropriate content will be corrected.”
"My father-in-law, you are just too caring."
"It is true that you have studied knowledge for most of your life and read poetry and books, but you really don't have to do anything by yourself. This is really unnecessary."
< br>"As for the use of Mohist and Taoist views, my son-in-law doesn't think it has anything to do with it."
"Didn't the sage Confucius once said: 'When you see the virtuous, think about them; when you see the virtuous, you should introspect yourself. ', and there is also the saying, "When three people are walking together, there must be one who is my teacher."
"What's more, didn't even the sage Confucius go to the Taoist Laozi for advice earlier?"
"The hundreds of schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are too far away from the current world. The essence of the hundreds of schools of thought has long been mixed together over thousands of years. Today's Confucianism is actually a Confucianism that embraces all rivers and has long ceased to exist in ancient times. The earlier 'knowledge'."
Zhao Mian has been studying for many years.
I have already developed my own opinions about the content in books.
What's more, after he got his diploma, he also served as a scholar in the Hanlin Academy for a while. He read a lot of ancient texts, which greatly increased his knowledge reserve and gave him a deeper understanding of learning. Tolerance is great. The reason why Confucianism flourished was not only to facilitate the emperor to control the people, but more importantly, it was the inclusiveness of Confucianism.
Taoism is too casual, Mohism is too extreme, and Legalism is too cruel.
Only Confucianism can mediate and reconcile.
As for why Confucianism changed its color, that is not what he can say, and I am afraid that even the great Confucians in the world cannot explain it. Because of the debate, Confucianism has become weird, first in the Han Dynasty With the authoritarian thoughts of Gongyang, Guliang, Zuo Zhuan, and then Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan in the Tang Dynasty, benevolence exists within, righteousness is seen in action, and etiquette establishes benevolence and righteousness. Without it, it will be ruined.
In the Song Dynasty, Neo-Confucianism and Xinxue emerged.
Confucianism has been changing. In the Han Dynasty, it may still have some Confucian qualities, but it also integrated the thoughts of Yin and Yang, Huang Lao, Ming, and Dharma. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, when Confucianism gradually declined, there were also great talents. People, drawing on Buddhism and Taoism, proposed respecting the king and fighting off barbarians, governing the country with Confucianism, and so on.
Now, why not learn from Mohist and Taoist thoughts?
As long as you are still a 'Confucian' and still have a 'Confucian' name, then what's the big deal?
Zhao Mian was dissatisfied. "You!!!" Liu Sanwu waved his sleeves. He was so angry that he couldn't speak at all. After a long while, he continued: "What do you know about the Xiansheng classics? The Xiansheng classics are not used for these things. "
"I'm really angry."
"I never expected that you and Xia Zhibai were the same."
"I didn't think so. I was blind and married my daughter to you.”
"Do you think what you said are Xia Zhibai's ideas? It's extremely ridiculous."
"Xia Zhibai wants to completely subvert the world's traditions and establish his own system, or even directly refute The "Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism" approved by His Majesty is still brazenly saying that there are problems with Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, and now he is directly quoting Taoist content to refute Confucian classics. "
"Is this fusion?"
"This is clearly with ulterior motives and wants to shake the foundation of my Ming Dynasty's thoughts."
"Once our thoughts collapse, the harm to the world is simply unimaginable. Tens of millions of people will live like zombies, the order of the world will be in chaos, benevolence and propriety will be trampled on, and this kind of poison will last for a long time. "
"As a Hanlin scholar, how could I allow such turmoil to happen!"
"However, Xia Zhibai insisted on going his own way and refused to listen to advice. Now I can't understand why Xia Zhibai is such a A person who has no respect for his elders and lacks etiquette can steal such a high position. A person like him should be sentenced to death and exiled for life!"
Liu Sanwu was already a little incoherent.
Hear the words.
Zhao Mian frowned.
He gradually realized something. His father-in-law seemed to take the compiled book too seriously. Even if Xia Zhibai was so deviant, how could other Hanlin scholars agree? And without the help of other Hanlin bachelors, it would not be possible to advance at all.
Again.
It’s not that serious.
A few books can shake the minds of the world for thousands of years. If the people's ideas can be changed so easily, how can His Majesty continue to inflict torture today? Isn't it just because the people "eat the ancient food without changing it" and repeatedly violate the prohibition?
And my father-in-law is too angry towards Xia Zhibai.
It doesn't feel like an accusation at all, more like a scolding.
It seemed that Xia Zhibai had been blamed.
Combined with the fact that his father-in-law has a good face and likes to put on airs, Xia Zhibai has a very straightforward personality. I am afraid that he will not save face for his father-in-law. I hit a wall, felt unhappy, and wanted to vent it out on myself.
Zhao Mian looked at Liu Sanwu carefully.
And Liu Sanwu seemed to feel that Zhao Mian had noticed something, and his expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "What do you think I am doing? I don't have any flowers on my face."
Zhao Mian said: "Zhang Yue, are you unhappy with Xia Zhibai?" Click.
But he actually already had the answer in his mind.
Most likely.
