Chapter 146: Congratulations
The ecology of the two generations is humble and respectful, but what should I do? Renyi Li is wrong, and even Zhongshu has to be reinterpreted, and it is very likely that half of the "Book of Shang" is a forgery, and now even the "Book of Changes" has problems. If it continues to develop, will it be possible that even the Analects will overthrow it? So what is left of Confucianism?
So he found Liu Chu, but he was actually confused, what was the use of looking for Liu Chu, Liu Chu just said some principles of life to Zheng Lang, and did not pass on any doctrine to him. Lao Liu laughed and laughed, and came to the inn with Feng Yuan.
Feng Yuan handed this article to Zheng Lang, what does that mean, what do you think? It's all your kid's fault. This time it seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
Zheng Lang put down the article and said: "Ouyang Tuiguan is very right, even if there is a forgery, if it is good, it can also be used for reference, for example, the paragraph that quotes the "Biography of the System" in the lecture on benevolence and righteousness in the later life, that is, the "Biography of the System" is a forgery, but that sentence is a good interpretation of the changes of yin and yang in the Yi hexagram, and if there is an opportunity to re-emphasize benevolence and righteousness in the later life, he will also continue to quote it." Another example is that "The Later Teacher's Table" is a forgery......"
"Wait, what's the fake?" Feng Yuan interrupted him again.
"The Later Teacher's Table."
"Why is it a fake?"
"Feng Zhishi, you listen to this sentence, from the minister to Hanzhong, in the middle of the year, and then lost Zhao Yun, Yang Qun, Ma Yu, Yan Zhi, Ding Li, Bai Shou, Liu Tai, Deng Tong, etc., and Qu Chang, Tun General more than 70 people. Zhuge Liang went out to the Northern Expedition to Cao Wei in the fifth year of Jianxing, and was on this table the following year, which was the sixth year of Jianxing. Look at "Three Kingdoms" again. Guan Zhang Ma Huang Zhao Biography Sixth", died in seven years, and pursued Shun Ping. Although since the death of the first emperor, Zhuge Liang has been using Zhao Yun lightly, but at that time there were not many generals in Shu, and Zhao Yun's identity was still very prominent, why Zhao Yun was not dead, Zhuge Liang said in the table that he was mourned? ”
There are other loopholes in this table, but Zheng Lang is too lazy to bother.
At least as a general of Shu State, not a small person, Chen Shouxiu's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is still a person in the world, no matter what, it is impossible to write two years late Zhao Yun's death, in that case, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth?
Lao Feng was dumbfounded again.
It's easy to say, isn't it?
Often things are like this, for example, Zheng Lang talks about benevolence and righteousness, which is very simple to say, but if you don't think about it, it becomes very complicated, and even Sima Guangxiu's "Zizhi Tongjian" ignores the record of "Three Kingdoms", and forcibly borrows the "Later Teacher Table", which advances Zhao Yun's death by more than a year.
Zheng Lang said: "Although it is a forgery, the spirit of knowing that it cannot be done in this article is worth learning from future generations." His writing is beautiful and poignant, which makes it occupy an important position in the literary world. Another example is "Zhuangzi", "Liezi" and other articles, there are more fakes, borrow the good ones, don't be afraid of the bad ones, you must have the courage to screen them out and discard them. ”
"Wait, what is a fake?"
"Zhuangzi", "Liezi", and even "Confucius's Family Language", "Yin Fu Jing", "Liutao", "Manzi", "Guan Yinzi", "Zihuazi", "Wenzi", "Kangcangzi", "Crane Guanzi", "Guiguzi", "Yu Lingzi", "Wei Xuanzi" and other books, there are many forgeries, and some may be the entire book is a forgery. However, books such as "Analects", "Spring and Autumn", and "Mencius" will definitely not have problems. "Since the Song Dynasty began to doubt the scriptures, in the end, even because Sima Qian did not contain "Zuo's Spring and Autumn", he suspected that "Zuo Chuan" was also a forgery, which was obviously overkill.
"Is there any evidence?"
"Some of them are, some of them are just imaginary, but what does it matter? As long as we do not misinterpret Master's thoughts, whether it is Meng Xun or later Dong Zhongshu, Liu Xin, Du Lin, Zheng Xing, Ma Rong, Zheng Xuan, Wang Su, Er Liu, Lu Deming, and Kong Yingda, we can use their ideas for reference and magnify Confucianism, which is what Master wants to see the most. ”
Feng Yuan finally understood, this time this kid finally revealed his ambition, not only wanted to be a genius, but also wanted to be a master of scripture, even Zheng Xuan and Kong Yingda disdained to do it, if they wanted to do it, they would be an authentic Confucian successor like Meng Xun!
Feng Yuan had no choice but to leave without a taste in his heart. But he had a premonition in his heart that a great event of Confucianism was coming.
In recent years, there have been many outstanding talents, not only Zheng Lang and Ouyang Xiu, but also older people, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Da Song and others, and older people, such as Yan Shu, Wang Zeng, Xia Zhu and others, slightly younger, Ouyang Xiu, Xiao Song, Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, etc., and even smaller, in addition to Zheng Jiazi, there seems to be a Shaanzhou Sima Guang, which is also very remarkable...... Out of the inn door, he said to Liu: "Old, I don't care about it, I can only watch these late students toss ......."
If you don't want to ask, let them do it.
…… So Ouyang Xiu wrote this article, Feng Yuan didn't intentionally hide it, and let it out. This time it's even more fun, almost all the Confucian students are dumbfounded, the ministers are laughing, and some ministers are related to each other, and the imperial court will not let them be the chief examiner of the Zhigong Ju next year. This paper is not easy to come out, if it is not good, it will poke the hornet's nest, in case you can't answer it in one go, throw away the test paper, and protest loudly: "This is a fake, why is it a question?" ”
What to do then?
But that's when another, more fun happened.
Cheng Lin checked and checked, copied Zheng Lang's map, and asked the officials to look for it in the sea of millions of people in the capital. Fortunately, it may be the reason for the giant thief, as his daughter, dressed luxuriously, this shrinkage target has become a little smaller.
But the difficulty is not small.
In addition, he sent another search, although he and Zheng Lang did not believe that it was the Khitan people who did it, but there were some signs, Cheng Lin still felt that the Khitans were suspicious, and sent a few officials to inquire about the matter. But I just didn't expect that it was really the Khitans who did it.
The officials stared, and a pair of Khitan merchants lived in the post house, and by chance, the merchant's wife came out to buy something, so that the two officials could see it, very much like the woman in the picture drawn by Zheng Lang. Zheng Lang also has credit for this, if it were not for the brilliant painting, it would be impossible to conclude immediately.
When it came to the Khitans, the officials didn't dare to be careless, and quickly went back to report to Cheng Lin. Lao Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and brought the little maid to interrogate, don't be mistaken, what does this woman look like. After repeated descriptions, it was finally concluded that this woman was the other woman. And they inexplicably lived in the post house and stayed with the Khitan envoys, which was not quite right in itself.
If it should be further determined, take the little maid to take a look, so that it can become evidence. However, the stakes were very high, and I was afraid that the little maid would show off, so I didn't do it.
This mentality is very similar to the mentality of later generations, people are strong, they are weak, and after being bullied several times, they can only hum, which is counted as a protest, to appease the dissatisfied emotions of the people in the country, and to comfort themselves. However, the Song Dynasty was better, at least it had been fighting with the Western Xia, a second-rate power in Tibet, with the Western Xia eyebrows in the front, and a large piece of territory from them in the back. As for Xiao Yue, he almost lost his roots.
This is the attitude towards the Khitan. There is no way, although the population is large and rich, but the territory of the people is vast, the soldiers are fierce, and the comprehensive strength is not the first in the Song Dynasty, but the Liao State. So more is better than less. Although it seems to be a big case, it is really nothing in terms of the relationship between the two countries.
happened to be in the early dynasty, and the ministers wanted to retire, but Cheng Lin did not retreat, and waited for the other ministers to retreat, and told the old lady and the little emperor the truth of the matter.
The old lady was also a little confused: "Is it really true?" ”
Cheng Lin also smiled bitterly: "I heard that the new Khitan monarch likes calligraphy and painting, but I didn't expect it to be so." However, it is not easy to determine whether this matter was done by him, it may be that he gave it, and it may just be that his subordinates want to please him. But what about this case? ”
wanted to sort out the truth of the case, so I had to go to the post house to arrest people.
The consequences of this grasp are not trivial.
The old lady thought about it for a while, but she still couldn't catch it, and it was possible that she didn't have this time. Just now, the Khitan changed the era name to Chongxi, and he still worries himself.
Anyway, it's really soft.
The Khitan had just changed the name of the year, and the border officials came to tell the urgency, not good, the Khitan will invade. Only Lao Xue said a word at this time, the first emperor made peace with the Khitan, and the legacy was even thick, so he would not dare to break the contract lightly. The monarch and the minister are a little safe, but they are a little safe, not completely safe.
Therefore, the old lady wanted to save trouble. After thinking about it, he said, "Cheng Fuyin, let's cancel this case." When the mourning family saw the Khitan envoy, they said lightly. ”
I don't know what to say, but I have to say it. Stealing three times, it's time to stop. Otherwise, you are a dignified Khitan country, and you can't study with peace of mind if you disturb a small move, so why bother? Let's stop there. Of course, talk to them in a tactful tone, and the matter should be revealed. But after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, and said to the little emperor: "You call that Zheng family Xiaolang into the inner palace, and then ask him to inform the Yan family tactfully, and don't pursue this matter again." ”
In the end, it was a matter of resignation, and it was difficult for the government to come forward publicly, so let Zheng Lang convey it, and the matter would be completely over.
The little emperor also thinks this matter is too ridiculous, grandma's, I didn't get many words, you actually copied them all. At the end of the day, is Zheng Jiazi your Khitan people, or our Song Dynasty people? But I think it's funny, it's just right, I don't know if I should trick Zheng Jiazi into the palace and get a few new words, wouldn't this be a reason. This time there was no disobedience to the old lady, and she replied at once; "The retainers obeyed."
summoned Zheng Lang into the palace again.
Other people don't know the inside story, they only think that the two lords like it, and this pet makes them blush, but unfortunately, people do have this talent, and they have this courage, so that the two lords are favored. The imagination is a little biased. Entering the palace, Zhao Zhen first told what had happened in a tactful tone.
I am the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and while I am funny, I feel that I am also embarrassed.
After Zheng Lang heard this, he was very stunned, this matter ...... However, after thinking about it for a long time, he said: "It was not the Khitan Emperor who did it." ”
"Why?"
"Your Majesty, think about the Khitan Empress Dowager."
This emperor is even more bitter, the empress of Liao Shengzong is also childless, it is rumored to be a perfect queen, beautiful in appearance, but without a son, her husband had to be fortunate to be his daughter. A palace maid, Xiao Yunjin, a very strange palace maid, her ancestor is the younger brother of Shu Luping, the first empress dowager of Liao, Agu, such a background is no less than the queen Bodhisattva brother of Liao Shengzong. But after arriving at the palace, she only became a small palace maid. What's even more strange is that she has a dark complexion, and her eyes are fierce when she looks at people, and at first glance she is an ugly lord and a ruthless lord, I don't know how Liao Shengzong chose it at that time, such an ordinary palace maid, or an ugly woman and a fierce girl, actually let him be lucky, not only lucky, but also fortunate many times.
After Xiao Yunjin gave birth to a son, Brother Bodhisattva really became a Bodhisattva, and he did not do this like Liu E, but acquiesced in this relationship and gave her a certain status. The white-eyed wolf is coming! He framed Brother Bodhisattva many times, but he didn't succeed, so he cultivated his own power. As soon as Liao Shengzong died, he made a false edict and named himself the queen mother. then framed Brother Bodhisattva and his brother for rebellion, and forced Brother Bodhisattva to death. In this regard, the little emperor of Liao was very dissatisfied, and the relationship between mother and son was very tense.
There are all sorts of big things going on in the future, but that's all there is to it for now.
Anyway, this little emperor is even more sad, so Zheng Lang has something to say.
It was not the little emperor of the Liao State who did it, but also his subordinates, Zheng Lang thought for a while, suddenly showed joy on his face, and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”
The little emperor said inexplicably, no matter how this case is said, it is also a small humiliation for the Song Dynasty, how can I congratulate him?
