Chapter 706: Discovering a Great Confucian!
It turns out that Confucius is the first warrior of Confucianism!
Zhu Cihong's eyes widened, looking at Wei Zaode, Qian Qianyi, Zhu Zhiyu, Wang Fuzhi, and Huang Daozhou, the five Confucians, it seemed that only Zhu Zhiyu looked powerful, and the other four were not on the same side as the warriors. It seems that the "benevolence" of the four of them is not true......
Zhu Zhiyu, who asked the question, was also stunned, he never thought that the candidate Yan Shenggong, who was young and looked like a vulgar martial artist, was really a great Confucian!
The so-called Great Confucianism does not mean how noble the morality is, how splendid the articles are, and even how famous he is to be an official in history, even if he is like Bao Qingtian, he is a good official, but he is not a great Confucian.
Great Confucianists must have made great contributions to the development of Confucianism!
For example, Wang Yangming's contribution to the study of mind and his criticism of the rigid science of science have established the historical status of his generation of great Confucianism!
In the same way, Zhu Xi's perfection of science and the supplement to the Confucian Dao (ultimate truth) also established the historical status of his generation of great Confucians!
And this Kong Yinzheng's contribution to Confucianism is obviously not as great as that of Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming, but as long as he is elected as the Holy Duke of Yan and continues to adhere to the view that "the brave have love for benevolence", then he can also be regarded as a great Confucian.
Because of his new interpretation of "benevolence", it is undoubtedly a powerful medicine for Confucianism, which has encountered a serious crisis in both natural philosophy and social philosophy!
"Good! You can say that again! The brave have love for benevolence...... With this sentence, Kong Yinzheng deserves the position of Yan Shenggong! Zhu Cihong could see from the expressions on the faces of the five examiners how correct Kong Yinzheng's answer was, so he struck while the iron was hot and wanted to finalize Kong Yinzheng's status.
"Your Majesty! Kong Yinzheng is indeed a great Confucian in the world, and he is enough to take on the position of Yan Shenggong! β
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the ......"
Zhu Zhiyu, Wei Zaode, and Qian Qianyi had nothing to say. However, when it was Huang Daozhou's turn to speak, this famous Confucian who had been famous for a long time and was famous in history for his anti-Qing martyrdom raised another question.
He asked Kong Yinzhengdao: "Is the brave just long and strong?" β
"Mr. Shi Zhai," Kong Yin is saluting Mr. Huang (Huang Daozhou is 65 years old this year), "whether you are brave or not is brave in your later life depends on whether you can convince people with your strength." And those who can convince others are all strength, not only strength. Although Yinzheng can't lift the country, he also has brute strength, but in front of the power of gunpowder lead bullets, he is also like a papier-mΓ’chΓ© clay sculpture, and he is vulnerable. Therefore, if you can convince people with the power of muskets and artillery, you are also brave! If you have a gun in your hand and love in your heart, you are benevolent. β
Makes sense!
Zhu Cihong nodded vigorously - science is the first courage! Now it's the courage of artillery, and in the future it's the courage of nuclear bombs, all of which are bravery!
If you can flatten the other party with a nuclear bomb, and you can reason calmly, you are the one who is benevolent!
Therefore, there are five benevolent people in the United Nations Security Council in later generations! It would be so unjust to say that they are the five hooligans, and if these five countries were hooligans, they would have taken out the harmony bomb and used it indiscriminately.
Huang Daozhou laughed, "It seems that in the future, if Confucianism does not have the strength to lift the city pass, he should keep his gun on his side and practice every day." β
Zhu Cihong listened to Huang Daozhou's words, and a relieved smile appeared on his face - Mr. Shi Zhai also realized it! In history, Huang Daozhou led the crowd to recruit troops to resist the Qing Dynasty, but he hit the stone with an egg and begged for a place to die, which is loyalty, not benevolence!
If the disciples of the Huang family are all Confucians who do not leave their guns and practice every day, thousands of musketeers line up to shoot and kill the Eastern captives, and finally the Northern Expedition succeeds, but it does not kill innocents indiscriminately, does not destroy the seeds of the Eastern captives, but carries out national unity and integration, this is benevolence.
Now only Wang Fuzhi did not speak, in the original history, he was the same as Huang Daozhou and Zhu Zhiyu, firmly resisting the Qing Dynasty, but the "strength" of resisting the Qing Dynasty was also a little weak.
So according to Kong Yinzheng's standards, no, according to Confucius's standards, he is not a benevolent person.
Confucius wanted to use benevolence and righteousness to educate the barbarians, not to let the barbarians be trained and say what kind of benevolence. To train the barbarians is to be a slave, what is the slave still benevolent?
Wang Fuzhi, who was thin and small, stroked his beard, looked at Kong Yinzheng like an iron tower, nodded and said: "There is indeed a holy relic under his feet, and it is needless to say that it should be the day when the most holy is alive." It's a pity that I, waiting for future generations of Confucian scholars, just want to seek benevolence from the rule of culture, but forget that the holy master has the courage to crown the world, and I am really ashamed. β
Then he turned to Zhu Cihong and bowed: "Your Majesty, the minister suggests that in the future, all actions to take soldiers should be assessed and targeted, so as to encourage everyone in the world to hold guns and shoot targets one by one!" β
Yes? Everybody with a gun? Shoot them one by one...... Zhu Cihong was taken aback by this proposal, is this still a Ming Dynasty? This is Ming Lijian! Isn't that right?
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister also suggested that everyone should have a gun and shoot a target!"
"The minister is also ......"
Well, several examiners all followed suit, and they didn't seem to realize the dangers of the proliferation of guns!
"That's right! In the future, the selection and examination of officials in various places will not only rely on articles to test arithmetic, but also to test muskets and targets! β
Although Zhu Cihong disagrees with everyone having a gun in his heart, he has just endorsed the book for "The Brave Have Love for Benevolence", and it is not easy to change his position immediately, so he has to support "Everyone Holds a Gun". I don't know how many people in the Ming Dynasty will be killed by the flood of various guns in the future? But there is no way to do it now, the era of queuing for gunning is not far away, and countries where everyone has a gun, how much advantage they have in the era of queuing for gunning can be understood with their heels.
......
"Kong Yinzheng!"
"The minister is here!"
"You're Yan Sheng Gong now!"
"Thank God for Your Grace......"
Forbidden City, Fengtian Temple.
Zhu Cihong, the son of the Great Tomorrow, will canonize Kong Yinzheng as the 65th generation of Yan Shenggong's holy decree, and personally hand over it to Kong Yinzheng, who has passed the "Yan Shenggong Entrance Examination".
From now on, the position of Yan Shenggong can not be taken by reincarnation, but must pass a series of examinations, and then canonized by the Ming Emperor. Of course, Yan Sheng Gong is still in office for life, and considering Kong Yinzheng's age, the 66th Yan Sheng Gong may not appear until decades later.
"Flatten, sit down and talk." Emperor Zhu still has important things to say to Kong Yinzheng, "Yinzheng, have you heard about the birth of Kong Lin's relics?" β
"Relic? The minister didn't hear about it...... "Kong Yinzheng has been working hard these days, and he almost doesn't hear anything outside the window, so he doesn't know that the funeral goods of his ancestors have been taken out and sold."
"Your Majesty," Kong Yinzheng asked again, "I don't know what kind of treasure it is?" β
Zhu Cihong said: "It seems to be a "Holy Relic". β
"What? The Most Holy Relic? Kong Yinzheng was taken aback.
It's amazing!
The remains dug up from the grave of Confucius!
"Your Majesty, what is written on this testament?" Kong Yinzheng hurriedly asked.
"It's not very clear," Zhu Cihong said, "it is said to be related to the Great Dao...... These are some of the truths that the Holy One realized when he sought the Great Way in his later years! β
"Avenue? It's true? β
"Your Majesty, what you said is true?"
"Your Majesty......"
This time, it wasn't that Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzheng was surprised, and even Wei Zaode, Qian Qianyi, Zhu Zhiyu, Wang Fuzhi, and Huang Daozhou all exclaimed.
Regarding the question of the avenue, Zhu Cihong didn't understand it very well when he first came, and he didn't have time to think about it, at that time, he didn't have time to save his life, what avenue did he say?
But when his life was saved, and Daming was also saved, and he began to think about going further, opening his golden finger, and climbing the science and technology tree, he discovered the defects of Confucianism in the "Great Road", which became an obstacle to climbing the science and technology tree.
Perhaps later generations will not be able to understand the relationship between this "Great Dao" and the tree of science and technology, but as long as they have an in-depth understanding of Confucianism's shaping of the way of thinking of the ancients, they will be able to understand the seriousness of this problem.
Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "I don't know exactly what it is, so I have to ask you to take a trip to Lushun to identify the authenticity of the Most Holy Relic." β
