Chapter 332: Keep your exegesis but not give it away!
Outside the Hanlin Academy.
Liu Sanwu did not go far.
He was standing not far outside the palace gate, but he did not look back. He just stood in the cold wind, raising his hands to look at the sky with a proud expression. He believed that his song of retreating in order to advance would be let go. Xia Zhibai couldn't get off the stage directly, and other colleagues would definitely agree with him and leave the stage.
He is waiting.
Wait for others to come out.
I am also preparing to watch Xia Zhibai’s jokes.
Before Xia Zhibai came, Liu Sanwu had a very high status in the Hanlin Academy, and he could be regarded as highly respected. There were few people who did not take his words and suggestions seriously, but after Xia Zhibai came After that, the situation changed.
As the only bachelor, Xia Zhibai had a higher official position than them, especially with the title of No. 1 Scholar, which made many people dare not make mistakes.
As a result, Xia Zhibai was arrogant at first and respectful at the end.
He is very shameless.
Privately, he actually wanted to make a trip, but Xia Zhibai's personality was too strong. He was also worried that his trip would be discovered by Xia Zhibai, and Xia Zhibai would expose him. He's not afraid of making jokes. If he loses his reputation, it will be a big deal.
So after weighing it up, I finally dared not do anything.
I kept swallowing my anger.
Now, he finally found an opportunity. The bachelor of the Hanlin Academy has been suffering from Xia Zhibai for a long time. This time Xia Zhibai came to question the 'golden mean' and moved out the "golden mean" that had long been swept into the dust of history. The words "Mohism, Taoism" and other schools of thought aroused public outrage.
The world has been like Confucianism for thousands of years.
What they have learned since childhood are Confucian classics, and asking them to study other knowledge is not deliberately humiliating them.
How can a Hanlin bachelor listen?
He saw this clearly, so he directly opposed it, and he continued to point it out. He did not get entangled with Xia Zhibai, but expressed his attitude strongly. He believed that he would take the lead, and other opponents would The Hanlin scholars who are dissatisfied with Xia Zhibai will definitely follow him and oppose Xia Zhibai in unison.
Without the support of Hanlin scholars, Xia Zhibai could not compile this book!
His idea will never succeed.
"Huh"
A gust of cold wind blew, and the cold Liu Sanwu shrank his neck. He turned his head suspiciously and looked at the Hanlin Hall with some confusion, frowning slightly Wrinkled: "What is going on? I took the initiative to take the lead. There is no reason for others not to follow. Why hasn't anyone come out yet?"
Then.
Liu Sanwu’s eyes turned cold.
He gave his answer secretly in his heart.
Xia Zhibai must be threatening others, Xia Zhibai can do such a thing.
He sneered and said: "It's not sweet to force people to do it. I want to rely on this trick to force everyone to submit. If Hanlin bachelors are just ordinary people, it may be possible, but they are literati, scholars, literati How could they give in if they have their own character and dignity?"
"I want to see how long Xia Zhibai can stay."
Fifteen minutes passed.
The wind got stronger and the snow fell heavier.
It was just a bright and warm Hanlin Hall, and no one else came out.
By this time, Liu Sanwu had noticed something was wrong.
He turned around, his face a little unnatural. Subconsciously, he wanted to take a step back to see the situation, but just as he lifted his steps, he quickly put them down again. He left so confidently before, and now he went back. , he couldn't afford to lose this person.
He couldn't let go of this face either.
Between returning or not, he chose his pride and prepared to leave the neighborhood.
He will follow what he said before and write a letter to impeach Xia Zhibai.
His Majesty today respects Confucianism and respects etiquette very much. Xia Zhibai's rude behavior, such rude behavior, and such daring behavior will definitely not get your Majesty's support, and he will be dismissed directly. There is no official position, and he can even be appointed as the editor-in-chief of textbooks.
Think of this. Liu Sanwu was convinced.
"Others may not dare to object due to Xia Zhibai's strength, but His Majesty knows right from wrong and is sensible. He knows what can be done and what cannot be done. He also knows that starting a new 'Dao Mo' will definitely The people in the world are in panic and chaos."
"Your Majesty will not agree."
Liu Sanwu strode towards his side room.
He wants to write a letter of impeachment.
The main hall of Hanlin Academy.
Fang Xiaoru and others were silent for a long time.
Think more about the past than the present. The present does not have to be inferior to the past, or even the present must be better than the past.
Because they stand on the shoulders of those who came before them.
If you don’t even have the courage and guts to surpass your predecessors, you are doomed to only revolve around the range defined by your predecessors. Such a world is doomed to be hopeless, and it is doomed to follow the old historical trajectory. In the middle cycle, China's prosperity lies in "change".
Instead of ‘keeping’!
Sticking to the old ways and being self-contained are the actions of the weak.
They should be strong.
At least show yourself as a strong person.
Only in this way can we truly convince the world and be worthy of the reputation of a talented man.
This sentence echoed in everyone's hearts.
It tugs at the heartstrings again and again.
As literati, have they not had great ambitions, and have they not had the great wish to take the world as their own responsibility, to clear up the world's long-standing shortcomings, and to restore peace to the world? It’s just that reality is cruel. Faced with various real problems, their edges have long been smoothed away and their spirit has been weakened.
Their blood has gone cold.
I just want to keep my own breeze and bright moon.
I just want the years to be peaceful and live my own comfortable life, and I don’t want the world to change at all, because changes are anomalies and will bring turmoil. These turbulences may be crises or they may bring opportunities. But they have long been reluctant to try.
But now.
Xia Zhibai’s words made them inexplicably ashamed.
Fang Xiaoru was immersed in deeper thinking. He was thinking, has the world's knowledge really reached the point where it has to change? Since the Han Dynasty, the world has only respected Confucianism, but it has gradually established its victory step by step. It has been more than a thousand years ago, and Confucianism has developed a lot in these more than a thousand years.
The teachings of Confucianism have also changed again and again.
In the Song Dynasty, some people felt that the development of Confucianism had reached a bottleneck.
Always moving in circles, or moving forward on a branch.
Confucianism in the early Song Dynasty inherited the legacy of the commentaries of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Confucian scholars "abide by exegesis without exegesis", but they did not make any achievements. However, during the period of Renzong in the Song Dynasty, a trend of doubting the ancients appeared in the world. It was also from this time. The theory of ethics emerged, but this system paid too much attention to morality and eventually collapsed completely under the iron cavalry of the Yuan people.
Today's Confucian scholars in the Ming Dynasty are just picking up others' wisdom.
Confucianism in the Song Dynasty does not violate the original intention of Confucius, Mencius, "Yi" and "Yong", and is rich in content, complete system, and detailed argumentation. Therefore, it is highly praised by scholar-bureaucrats, but Fang Xiaoru also has to admit that Neo-Confucianism has some It is too idealistic and does not have much practical effect on the real development of the world. On the contrary, it seems a bit empty.
But if, as Xia Zhibai said, taking Confucianism as social practice is not a direction at all.
Because Confucianism advocates optimization.
Think of this.
Fang Xiaoru nodded secretly.
