"Second brother, do you say that Confucius's travels around the world back then were considered missionaries?"

On the way back from Ji Yi's house and in a carriage, Wu Haogu suddenly asked his brother a somewhat strange question.

Wu Haowen frowned, "Transmission...... Teach? Big brother, why do you say something so twisted? ”

It's a little twisted, the saint was said to be a missionary by Wu Haogu, can it not be twisted?

Wu Hao Gu said: "Is it twisted?" Didn't Sage Kong take his disciples to spend more than ten years walking through Wei, Cao, Song, Zheng, Chen, Cai, Chu and other countries to promote his avenue? This is missionary! ”

"Big brother, what do you mean...... Well, even if it's a missionary. ”

Wu Haogu nodded and said: "Then the Confucian sage was able to travel around the world to preach, so can my generation of Confucian scholars follow the example of the sages and travel around the world to spread the way of Confucius and Mencius in all directions?" ”

Wu Haogu thought that the way of Confucius and Mencius was so good, and the Chinese people, the Korean people, the Vietnamese people, and the Japanese imperialists were learning - it seems that they did not learn it later—how bad is that? Why do you have to let people all over the world learn together?

If people all over the world want to learn the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, then someone will spread the Tao! Otherwise, who knew that there was such a good way of Confucius and Mencius?

Wu Haowen shook his head and said, "Big brother, how can my generation be compared to a saint?" The spread of the avenue is done by saints, how can I wait for the younger generations to do it? ”

"Why not?" Wu Hao Gu Zhengse said, "You see that Sakyamuni has never been to Middle-earth, right?" Now Shakyamuni's followers are all over Kaifeng, and even you, a jinshi, are worshipping the Buddha.

And the Celestial Sect of Muhammad has never been to China, and now there are many Tianfang Temples in Quanzhou? There is also the Cross Sect, which is the saint of the Nestorian Sect called ...... Didn't the one named Brother Jesus never come to China? The Tang Dynasty came. They can all come, but why can't I go? Could it be that the monks, heavenly monks, and cross monks who came to China could be compared to their founding masters? Don't they preach everywhere? ”

"Big brother, what are you talking about...... How can you compare the way of Confucius and Mencius with Buddhism, Tianfangjiao, and Nestorianism? ”

Wu Haogu nodded, "You're right, it can't be compared!" The main reason is that the Confucian scholars of our generation could not imitate the sages and did not spread the teachings of the sages in all directions. That's why Buddhism, Tianfangjiao and Nestorianism can spread everywhere! ”

What do you mean? Wu Haowen looked at his brother. Does this mean that Confucianism is inferior to Buddhism, Tianfangjiao, and Nestorianism? How can there be such a rebellious idea?

Wu Haowen said: "Big brother, the truth is not spread as far as possible. ”

Wu Hao Gu Zhengse said: "Isn't that saint squinting in the country of Lu, what are you doing traveling around the world?" Although the Great Dao cannot be judged by the distance of transmission, the Dao that cannot be transmitted is definitely a failed Dao. ”

"This ......" Wu Haowen rolled his eyelids, he really didn't know what to say to his brother who had the wrong brain? Because although Wu Haogu's words are nonsense, they seem to make sense at first glance.

Wu Haogu saw that his younger brother was speechless, so he became even more reasonable, and asked again: "You have to give a counselor to the foolish brother, how to spread the saint's avenue." ”

This topic...... You can use it as a strategy for the Ministry of Rites test!

Wu Haowen is still a good younger brother, he thought about it seriously, and said: "There is Biyong in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and there are Taixue and Xue Palace in the Western Han Dynasty. ”

"Yes, yes." Wu Haogu nodded repeatedly, "You can't call it a temple, you have to call it an academy...... The preacher cannot be called a monk or a Taoist priest, but a doctor. ”

Not to mention, it's good to have a younger brother of Jinshi who is sixth in the imperial examination! Wu Haogu chatted with his brother for a while, and he suddenly became enlightened.

If Confucianism wants to go out, it must have a missionary and evangelistic institution, which can be called a "Confucius Institute" or "Confucius and Mencius Institute", or it can be some other college. The academy is equivalent to a monastery, so the Sangha is the doctoral group, and he is the head of the doctoral group!

The group of doctors should also be divided into two categories: preaching and apologetic. The doctor of preaching is a doctor of the academy and is responsible for imparting the truth of Confucianism. The Doctor of the Protector is the Doctor of Arms, who is responsible for educating all kinds of barbarians with bows and arrows, swords and guns...... Those who can be educated will be educated, and those who are not good will be eliminated!

Well, there is no class to teach! Barbarians are also human beings, and they should also be bathed in the brilliance of Confucius and Mencius's truth! Only when all barbarians have been educated to self-denial and repentance, will the world truly return to benevolence!

It turns out that the paragraph "Yan Yuan asks Ren" can be explained like this! Wu Haogu thought about it and felt that his Confucian cultivation had reached another level, and he was closer to the level of Confucianism.

Moreover, spreading Confucianism is also a route to save the country - if Wanyan Aguta's family and Genghis Khan's ancestors were educated by the Confucian doctoral group, and they also emphasized literature and light military force to take the Jinshi examination, wouldn't the world be peaceful?

Even if the Jurchens and Mongols can't be incivilized, the doctoral group can always develop and grow in the Liao Kingdom, the Western Xia Kingdom, the Goryeo Kingdom, the Japan Kingdom and the Annam Kingdom, right? There are always many armed doctors who can be recruited, and when the time comes, they can defend the Confucian and Taoist systems of the Liao State, and they can also be used to educate all kinds of barbarians on the Nanyang Islands...... In short, only by cooperating with each other can the doctoral group and the merchant group truly expand the Confucian Taoist system and the living space of China.

Otherwise, even if the population is colonized, it will spread genes, not Taoism.

Wu Hao Guxin said: Now someone can finally inherit the ideal of Confucius and Mencius! Confucius and Mencius will definitely bless himself, the great Confucian of the Northern Song Dynasty, above the nine heavens...... Because the revitalization of Confucianism depends on oneself, the real Confucian.

But Wu Haowen shook his head again and again and said, "Big brother, don't think about these useless things." With this kung fu, you might as well get a better official position for your little brother. ”

How is it useless? Wu Haogu, who felt that he was very likely to become a great Confucian, sighed in his heart, his younger brother was only a jinshi, so he put aside the matter of promoting the Confucian avenue and just wanted to be an official.

According to the system of the Song Dynasty, after the first to fourth class jinshi ascended to the top, they did not need to go through the assessment of the ministry to be released, while the fifth class jinshi needed to be selected - that is, waiting to be an official. However, even if it is directly released into the office, there is a process, and sometimes it is not uncommon to wait for a few months without official work.

Because the phenomenon of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty was very serious, there were often several officials to be elected for a position.

However, Wu Haowen will not be selected for a long time, not because he has someone in the court, but because his ranking is relatively high. The time for the Jinshi to be selected is determined according to the ranking. The higher the ranking, the sooner the officer will be conferred. Wu Haowen is the first place in the second class, and he will be able to get the official position in April, and he will have an official position in May or June.

Needless to say, he sent Lu Guan, that is, from the ninth rank of the general. The lowest of the four classes is the smallest official. As for his officials, some of them are good to say, and the judge is also superior, isn't it? And there is also a saying about where he works.

If you are a magistrate, it is impossible to open the boundaries of Kaifeng Mansion, and Wu Haowen's household registration is in Kaifeng Mansion. But you can still find a place closer to the closed mansion, so that you can go home often to honor your parents.

In addition, it is not impossible to directly arrange for the secretary to be an official in Beijing if he is not properly judged. Wu Haowen can also be regarded as Zhao Ji's person, right? And his father-in-law is still Han Zhongyan, so he should be treated a little preferentially, right?

"Do you want to stay in Kyochu?" Wu Haogu asked.

"It's better to stay in Kyochu." Wu Haowen nodded, "Big brother, is there a way?" ”

Although Wu Haowen is now the second and first place Jinshi, he is still young, only 18 years old, and he has only entered the university in later generations. And he's a bit of a home, and his experience is equal to zero. If you really want to go to the place, it will definitely be bad, so it's more reassuring to stay in Kaifeng Mansion.

"Then ......" Wu Haogu thought for a while, "Then you get married first, the title of the gold list, the flower candle in the cave room, how good is it...... You went to the Daimyo's Mansion to marry the seventeenth sister of the Han family, how could you delay it for a few months before conferring an official, right? By autumn at the latest, there will be a way for my brother to get you a secretary to save the orthography. ”

"Into the secretary of the province? Are you sure? ”

The Ministry of Secretaries is not a department for women secretaries, but a department such as the National Library and Archives. Naturally, the oil and water that went to work in the library could not be compared with going to the local area to be the "county public security chief". But the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, how could the future of catching thieves be compared with the official registration of the management book? The orthography is the smallest "Confucian minister", and the school secretary who is one level older than the orthography is considered a librarian.

If you can be a secretary at the beginning of your career, you will not dare to say that it will be a matter of time before you become a scholar of Hanlin (the Hanlin bachelor of the Song Dynasty is a big official).

"No problem." Wu Haogu lowered his voice and said, "Empress Dowager Xiang has no intention of political affairs, and she has a lot of trust in the official family, so it is estimated that the curtain will be removed in the autumn." When the time comes, I will go and talk to the official family, and let you enter the secretary province to do orthography. ”

The Empress Dowager is about to remove the curtain, and Zhao Ji is easy to say. It's just a straight word, and it's not a school scrivener, so there's nothing wrong with doing it for Wu Haowen.

"Thank you, big brother." Wu Haowen immediately thanked him in the carriage.

The two brothers immediately got a lot warmer, and along the way, they talked and laughed and returned to the martial arts mansion in the west of the city. Before entering the house, Wu Haogu saw his father Wu Chengzhi guarding the courtyard. When he saw Wu Haogu, he said hurriedly: "Big brother, the Pear Blossom Courtyard just sent someone to report that the eighteenth sister is about to give birth." ”

Pan Qiaolian was pregnant in July last year, and the expected date of delivery is almost April this year, which is now.

"Hurry up and prepare the horses!"

Wu Haogu hurriedly instructed his family to bring him a mount, and after getting on the horse, he hurriedly went out of the city. After Wu Cheng, Wu Haowen got into the carriage, followed Wu Haogu, and went to the Pear Flower Courtyard together......
