Chapter 35: The Great Rebellion

"Hahaha!"

On top of the towering Taixue lecture view, the group of bureaucrats and Confucians were angry; Under the lecture, the Confucian students were dumbfounded. Only Yan Bei stood alone in the middle of the meditation, smiling happily, and at the end of the smile was put away, he bowed to the Quartet and bowed in a loud voice: "It's not that Yan is arbitrary and alone, and on the way of scripture and righteousness, the views of the princes are a hundred times better than Yan." It's just that this ancient scriptures and traditional things have been debated endlessly since the Han Dynasty, four hundred years! ”

Yan Bei raised four fingers, looked around at the Great Confucian, and said: "I haven't been able to argue about the level for four hundred years, so I might as well listen to Yan, a lonely and unheard person who doesn't know the ancient system, discuss with the public, Yan's opinion on this matter?" ”

Yan Bei said that in the end, he looked at Zheng Xuan, who was sitting at the top, but Zheng Xuan didn't care about the dispute between the present and the ancient, but Kong Rong, who was second to Zheng Xuan, nodded when he heard this, and said, "What is the high opinion of Da Sima?" ”

Originally, the great Confucian was furious when he heard Yan Bei's almost crazy words, but he was quite humble after listening to his later words, and at this time, with Zheng Xuan's acquiescence and Kong Rong's invitation, they gave up one after another.

Even the emperor at the top was interested, and the cold spring breeze blew on his face and looked red, and he couldn't help but wrap the fur outside the dark court clothes, and looked at Yanbei with fine eyes.

He has great expectations for Yanbei, although Yanbei has never been a person who is famous for his scriptures, but it is not difficult to imagine that a general who led troops from north to south, from east to west, penetrated half of the world when the imperial power fell, and almost single-handedly restrained the generals who had already fallen apart and reshaped the imperial court. Although he may not understand what the scriptures and meanings are than those great Confucians, he must understand what the state is better than others.

"Yan has doubts, and I ask you to solve your doubts. Why do you need to read the Bible and be a Confucian? Perhaps everything comes from ignorance, Yanbei scoffed at the ancient system, ancient and modern scriptures and meanings they disputed. As he spoke, he asked with a sneer: "In the past, in the countryside of Liaodong, we were very envious of the scholars who were studying, because they would be able to be officials in the future, so Yan also sent his younger brother to the township to study. But is studying just to be an official? ”

"Da Sima, the old man remembers, you asked this question in Liaodong many years ago." Bing Yuan, who sat in the same position as the Great Confucian, intersected with Yanbei in his early years, and was less afraid than others, and said: "Reading is for reason, and reason can be a scholar, and it has nothing to do with being an official." ”

"What Mr. Genju said is that the sages wrote books and said that they were for us to understand reason, and at the small level, it was the way of self-cultivation, and at the big level, it was for the purpose of governing the country." Yan Bei was very proud of governing the country, and then said: "Yan is a martial artist, and he can't govern the country with self-cultivation. So I only said what I knew, and people recalled the ancient system, and there have been many since ancient times. For example, the ancestor of Confucius Wenju, Confucius preached in other countries that the Zhou rites should be restored, saying that the world at that time was not ancient. And then? With Qin, the Qin State is far superior to the power of the Six Kingdoms, and after the unification, there is the Qin Dynasty, and in the last years, the hearts of the people are not ancient, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms raised troops, Xiang Ji was brave, and the retro system in the customs was broken to divide the princes, was he wrong? ”

The minister was speechless about this, and he didn't want to say it, but he didn't dare to say it. On the contrary, the little emperor listened with relish, he felt that Yan Bei was talking about how to govern the country, and when he paused, he hurriedly said: "Yan Qing went on to say, since Xiang Ji restored the ancient system but was finally defeated by Emperor Gao, this is the will of God in Han!" ”

"Your Majesty, providence?" Yan Bei looked at Liu Xie with a little pity, and asked with a calm face: "When Dong Zhongying entered the court, the gods worshiped by the Han family for many years could help Your Majesty in the slightest?" ”

Zhang Jiao understands better than these people, otherwise how could there be millions of people shouting that the sky is dead!

"It's right to respect the ancient system, to honor the tradition. The people of the Otsutsuki clan respect the Buddha, what is the Buddha? The Qiang people respect the sky, who is the sky? Xianbei people worship the god of red deer, what is a red deer, have you ever seen it? We Han people, respect the ancestors, Yan has seen his father, Zhugong has also seen his ancestors, we have seen, they farm land and raise horses, fight against the enemy, so we can be born and live here, Your Majesty, it is not the will of God in Han, but the great talent of Emperor Gao, so there is Han. ”

"The defeat of Xiang Ji is not in the sky, but in the people who are not successful, fighting for the hegemony of the world, what ancient system is respected, and the war has increased for several years, and the officials and people have lost their lives! The ancient system is not all right, Wang Mang respects the ancient system, is he right? Xiang is respectful of the ancient system, is he right? As for respecting the tradition, the princes can know what the tradition of the Han people is, and Yan came to tell you that it is death! ”

"Death! Dead! Dead Festival! Dead soldiers! Dead country! It is with the hands given to me by the ancestors that I can change the sky and the earth, the sky falls and the man tops it, and the ground sinks and the man fills it, that is, it has been in drought for three years, and Lao Tzu has to divert water to farm the land! Tradition? ”

Yan Beibei pouted disdainfully, "Yan wants to conquer the Huns, you talk about traditions in the court, respect the ancient system, what do you say to be gentle and frugal, Dong Zhuo led the Xiliang soldiers into Beijing, what is the use of being gentle and frugal?" Li Dao Guo Yan entered Chang'an City, where is the gentleness and frugality, where is it! ”

"Really, Yan is discussing the ancient system and modern learning with you scholars, Confucians, scholars, and Confucians? The country has only been stable for a few days, and I have forgotten how many loyal ministers and aspirants died on the way to the east two years ago. The Huns killed thousands of soldiers of the Han family in Bingzhou, none of the princes south of the Yellow River have been settled, and the six million people in the Youji Pass are hungry and endure hunger and cold, and you are still talking about it because you can't figure out the ancient and modern scriptures, it's all waste, that's right, Yan said that today's court is all waste! ”

"Do you really think that the chaos in the world is the fault of the first emperor? You are all Confucians, any Confucian student under the head reads more than Yan, and the Tao Te Ching says that the dirt of the country is the master of the society; The country is ominous, and it is the king of the world. Did You Know? Respect the ancient system, the ancient system said that the lord humiliated the ministers to death, and those who criticized the first emperor for being mediocre were all courtiers, and you have died more than ten years ago! ”

"Don't worry about pacifying the world, Yan will bear it. You should think about how to govern the country, let the people do farming, a few acres of land, and you can also collect some taxes to send the official ideas of the hundred officials and ministers, the people of the world, six million people are watching you from behind, they are not born to starve to death. The hundreds of thousands of samurai in the north were not born to be killed by foreigners. Don't talk about this and that all day long, what is useless for talking about fart, think about how to keep the people fed and clothed, if you really don't understand the meaning of the ancient writing, don't look at it, I tell you what is a tradition, and what can govern the country now is a useful tradition! The people are not living a good life at the moment, and you are the tradition in the future! ”

"As for now, whoever stands in Yan's way will be the one god in the sky who has also slashed with a sword!" Yan Bei looked around at the various Confucian scholars with angry and ashamed faces, and arched his hand at the emperor, only then did he turn his head and snort, "Tradition? It is useful to be able to govern the country well and leave a tradition for future generations! ”
