Yang Biao was the first to jump out.

The Yang family began with Yang Zhen, who was known as the "Master of Kansai", and was a world-renowned scholar of scriptures, and their family respected the school of scriptures.

"Sir, that's a mistake. Therefore, it is not important whether the texts of the Five Classics and other classics are close to or even word for word with the original works of the sages, but the important thing is the interpretation and flexible use of the classics. The official schools established by the Great Han Kingdom all have a set of statecraft that can be learned and used, such as using "Yu Gong" to govern the Yellow River, using "Hong Fan" to detect the changes in the sky, using "Spring and Autumn" to judge cases, and using "Three Hundred Poems" as a letter of advice. Although these methods are rigid and rigid, they have strong vitality in the process of putting things in order and creating culture and education in the Great Han Kingdom. On the other hand, the ancient classics completely lack this function. Is it biased that Mr. is sitting here now, making a lot of nonsense about today's literature and scriptures? ”

Fu Wuji is a famous minister of the Han Dynasty after Fu Zhan, his erudition and knowledge, is a contemporary Confucian, and his family tradition is also today's literature and scriptures.

Fu Wuji added loudly: "Emperor Shizu himself was born in a scholar family, and he has a tendency to like ancient scriptures, and the same is true of Emperor Suzong Xiaoming. Therefore, since the reign of Emperor Shizu, there have been people who have asked for the establishment of ancient scriptures as scholars. None of them succeeded, though. Emperor Xiaozhang once selected famous people from all over the world to go to Beijing to study ancient scriptures in the name of supporting micro-learning, but the ancient scriptures still failed to win the scholars. ”

In the end, whether the ancient scriptures can also be designated as the scholars of the Han Kingdom, the ancestors have discussed several times, the most famous of which is the White Tiger View Conference in the first four years of the founding of the Xiaozhang Dynasty. At that time, the important factions of the ancient and modern texts were all represented, and the result of the quarrel was still the mainstream of the modern texts. Look at this dynasty, can there be a doctor of ancient literature and scriptures who lectures on Taixue? ”

"Sir, look at the stone scripture written by Cai Bojiao in Taixue, isn't it also a modern scripture? Mr. Jin falsely claimed that the study of modern scriptures is outdated. Should we respect ancient scriptures, is it too extreme? ”

Xu Shao said with a smile: "The text of the ancient scriptures is the script of the Six Kingdoms in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and there are very few people who know them, so the texts of the ancient scriptures in the past have not been systematically sorted out and studied. In addition, there are not many teachers teaching the ancient scriptures, so it is normal that it is not designated as a scholar. ”

"Now, after several generations. Many scholars began to sort out and teach ancient scriptures among the people, explain ancient scriptures, and even compiled dictionaries to identify and explain ancient scriptures, and the study of ancient scriptures has been greatly developed. Although the study of ancient scriptures has not been established, it is the mainstream of private learning in this dynasty. In this dynasty, there are many masters of ancient literature and classics, such as Huan Tan, Ban Gu, Wang Chong, Jia Kui, Zhang Heng, Xu Shen, Ma Rong, Zheng Xuan and others. In terms of exegesis and commentary on ancient texts and scriptures, the three who have achieved the greatest are Xu Shen, Ma Rong, and Zheng Xuan.

"Today's ancient scriptures are simple and clear, and their thoughts are sharp. It does not pay much attention to the practical subtleties from the classics, but pays more attention to the academic examination of literature and exegesis chapters. At the same time, today's ancient Wenjing school is more retro, and they pay special attention to discovering the patriarchal and ritual music culture belonging to the Shang and Zhou dynasties in the five classics. This is of particular practical value. ”

"Because the imperial power of this dynasty is gradually weakening, although traitors and relatives take turns to hold the power of the country, the bureaucrats of the scholar clan rely on the transmission of scriptures from generation to generation to act as the ministers of the dynasty, and their power is huge. The clan relied on the shadow of their ancestors and their great wealth. It has gradually become a powerful family in the left and right places. ”

In the minds of these people, the state and status of the Great Han Kingdom gradually fell below the ideals of Confucianism and the clan lineage. The methods of selecting talents for the conquest and inspection of the dynasty have also become increasingly ill because of the influence of this viewpoint. Therefore, although the party incident in this dynasty was a major dispute between right and wrong, it did not imply a struggle between the imperial power and the local noble clans. ”

"Respecting ancient scriptures and scriptures is to maintain the orthodoxy of imperial power, that is, to reform the national politics of our Han Dynasty. Rebuild a mighty and powerful man. ”

Xu Shao slowly stood up, raised his hands high, and shouted: "I can say this today, today's literature and scriptures will soon be intolerable, and ancient scriptures have gained the upper hand. ”

"Boom......," Xu Shao screamed in shock. Just like a spring thunder suddenly exploded in the Taixue Academy, it suddenly detonated the fierce controversy between the modern literary school and the ancient literature school.

At the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, most of the five classics survived from the Qin Dynasty and were rescued from scholars who could memorize and teach the full text. Because the Qin Empire's coercive order was extremely severe, the brochure had long been turned into ashes. For a variety of reasons, there are many discrepancies in the recorded texts. Therefore, a classic, due to the difference in the text, should be established by several doctors, all of whom are scholars. In the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, there were three doctors in each of the Five Classics, and the classics passed on by these doctors were all written in the official script of the empire, so it was called the modern literature and classics.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", the Han Dynasty has taken modern literature and scriptures as the official scriptures. In the last years of Emperor Wu, King Lu Gongwang expanded Confucius's house, and occasionally dug up dozens of scriptures recorded in ancient scripts, such as "Ancient Texts and Books" and "Book of Rites", "Analects", and "Filial Piety". Since then, there has been a distinction between modern and ancient scriptures.

Ancient scholars have provided a classic model of hermeneutics, which is "I Note the Six Classics", which uses textual exegesis and famous objects as means to explain the meaning of texts, focusing on academic issues rather than political evidence.

Modern scholars also provide a classic model of hermeneutics, which is the "Six Classics Commentary", which uses scripture classics to expound the essence of the times or give full play to their own new insights.

The controversy between the two schools of modern and ancient scriptures, which began since the founding of the Han Dynasty, has never stopped throughout the hundreds of years of the dynasty.

This great debate lasted from the afternoon of the 10th lunar month to the afternoon of the 11th month, and its intensity and scale created the largest in the Han Kingdom.

The Eastern Han Dynasty is the main body of official scholarship, from the Taixue in Luoyang to the official schools established by the prefectures, counties and counties, and the scriptures taught are all modern classics.

However, with the development of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the present, there are more and more people who respect and study the ancient scriptures, and although many people are still teaching or studying the modern scriptures, they are purely for the sake of eating and taking some of the imperial court's rank to support their families. When it came to the critical moment of discussing academics, these people immediately revealed their true forms, and one by one they became fighters who resolutely defended ancient literature and classics.

In today's world, the most famous three masters of today's literature and scriptures are the Yang family, the first gate valve in the world, as well as the Du family and the Fu family. The representative of the Du family is Du Fu, and his family has many protégés. The representative of the Fu family is Fu Wuji, and their family is a relative of the emperor. Today's scholars are withering, and their power is declining, which is already a fact now, and the controversy of today's Taixue is just to predict that the world, the world's scholars, will gradually unify to the ancient school of literature and scripture in the future.

………………

The eleventh day of the first month.

The general stood outside the door of the study and personally greeted He Hao's return.

"Congratulations to the General, congratulations to the General." He Hao arched his hand and smiled, "The gate lord clan of Luoyang City is about to return from the wind and support the general, which is really gratifying." ”

He Jin smiled slightly, let He Hao into the study, and said with a smile: "This time, I invited Mr. Zijiang, I have worked hard." ”

"Mr. Zijiang is too powerful." He Hao said with a smile, "He hasn't entered Luoyang City yet, so he commented that Hongdu Gate is a dirty place." At this moment, Hongdumen's reputation has been greatly damaged, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be closed. Hongdumen's bachelors are becoming scarcer and rarer, and in fact, they have cut off the wealth of the eunuchs, which has dealt a heavy blow to their protégés. Now I want to see, how do these shameless people of Hongdumen still gain a foothold in Luoyang and other prefectures and counties? ”

He Jin said with a smile: "Mr. Zijiang is happy, but His Majesty is very annoyed, I heard that he was furious in the palace. ”

"Then does Your Majesty still have the intention of inviting Mr. Xu into the palace to see him?" He Hao asked with concern.

"Tomorrow." He Jin smiled proudly, "Your Majesty has sent a decree today, asking me to invite Mr. Xu into the palace tomorrow." ”

"Okay, big things can be done." He Hao patted the case lightly and said with a smile, "The eunuchs are probably still glad that their tricks have succeeded, Your Majesty will take the eldest prince to Jizhou together, haha, after tomorrow, I think they will cry." ”

"By now, they're probably already crying." The general said with a smile, "They definitely didn't expect that a few words from Mr. Zijiang could change the academic concept of the entire Han Dynasty." The Taixue scholars in Luoyang and a large number of scholars and bureaucrats came together because of the ancient scriptures and formed a huge force. It is especially important that this force must maintain the imperial rule and resolutely stand by our side and support us at a critical time. ”

He Hao nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, a few years ago, Yang Valve, Zhang Wen, Cui Lie, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun in Luoyang all breathed out of one nostril, worried that the general would take sole control of the country after eradicating the traitorous eunuchs, forming a situation of dictatorship of foreign relatives, so they all clearly rejected the general, and there were differences on whether to support the general to eradicate the traitorous eunuchs. ”

"But now it's different. Mr. Xu's lecture led to the rapid unification of scholars' academic views, which made the scholars in Luoyang more trusting and closer to each other. Once the general rises up, under the persuasion of the generals at all levels of the general's office, they will quickly gather under the banner of the general and support the general to eradicate the traitors and re-establish the imperial system. ”

"The scholars of this dynasty have experienced the scourge of eunuchs and relatives, and they have suffered deeply, so whether they are in the opposition or in the court, they all hope that the general will not be a general of a foreign relative, but a general of scholars." He Hao looked at He Jin and said solemnly, "The general just fits this point, so now the situation is getting more and more favorable to us." ”

"The traitorous eunuch forces in Luoyang City have been unable to fight back under our repeated blows, but Xu Sikong has not clearly expressed his support for us, so it has become a top priority to win over Xu Xiang as soon as possible and separate the relationship between Xu Xiang and the traitorous eunuch. For people like Xu Xiang and Fan Ling, their gate valve families are huge, and they support the traitors outside the palace, and some things are very tricky to deal with. If they turn against each other, the traitors will have no more scholars to use, their power will inevitably be greatly reduced, and our chances of success will be multiplied. (To be continued.) )
