Chapter Ninety-Six: Benevolence (4)
But it was this night that things took a new turn.
When Liu Chu heard the old lady's care, he suddenly had an idea. This incident was originally a mistake of the later life, and I just wanted to send away the people I visited, and I didn't seem arrogant, which attracted criticism. But negligence in the consequences. Since the old lady wants to be gracious, why don't you ask for it again.
I found Yan Shu first, he is a person who loves talents, his status is low, and he is not convincing, but Yan Shu has it. After some persuasion, the two visited several bigwigs and said that Xiangguo Temple is a national temple. The reason why it became a national temple is not only that it is close to the imperial palace, but also that there are three other famous temples in Bianliang City, Kaibao Temple, Tianqing Temple and Taiping Xingguo Temple, which are not far from the imperial palace, and the scale is comparable at the beginning. This is because Zhao Kuangyin went to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense, and the famous monk Zannin of Xiangguo Temple slapped a little sycophant and said: "Now the Buddha (referring to the emperor) does not worship the past Buddha." β
So since then, the emperors of the Song Dynasty have not worshiped incense.
As a result, Xiangguoji Temple embarked on the road of prosperity and was enshrined as a national temple, and successive emperors allocated a large amount of money from the national treasury to expand Xiangguoji Temple, and the scale became larger and larger.
This is the national temple, and it is also the important place of the Shi family, Zheng Jiazi is here to talk about Confucianism, which is not very suitable and will cause criticism.
It is better to make an exception in Taixue and vacate a living house for Zheng Jiazi to preach, and all those who go to listen to the lecture must be students and Confucian students, which can also save a lot of criticism and trouble. This is also the original intention of Zheng Jiazi. Those who listen can understand it, maybe there will be a mutual academic exchange, which will become a good story in the literary world. It can be placed in front of the Xiangguo Temple, and the viewer must be like a mountain, asking, how many ordinary people can understand Confucianism?
It seems to make a lot of sense.
However, Liu's intention is not to do this, so that the negative impact will be minimized.
Several bigwigs looked at him and smiled, they were embarrassed to laugh, otherwise they would laugh out loud when they saw his anxious appearance.
In the end, Zheng Lang is too young, and they all think that it does not pose a threat to their position. So after laughing, he agreed. A fold was handed to the palace to explain what had happened. The old lady didn't have a score in her heart about this, so after thinking about it, she agreed.
Liu Chu was overjoyed, took the edict, and came to the inn.
There is one more thing to figure out, what exactly is being said, otherwise he can send someone to forcibly escort Zheng Lang back to Zhengzhou.
It was already dusk, and the inn where Zheng Lang lived was a little far away from the inner city, but it had the benefits of the outer city in the outer city, it was quieter than the inner city, and the place was also wide. The half-yellow leaves swayed in the evening breeze, making a rustling sound.
Hearing Liu Zhizhou coming, Zheng Lang immediately greeted him.
As soon as Liu Zhizhou said what he intended in the future, Zheng Lang was overjoyed, bent down and gave a big salute, and said, "Thank you, Young Eunuch Liu." β
I'm worried about this.
"You don't have to report the good news, are you ready?"
"Preparing," said he as he ushered him into the room, where there were many words written over the years, some written, some unwritten, and some strangely written. But Liu Chu didn't have the heart to look at these calligraphy works when he came in, so he asked Zheng Lang to take the manuscript that he was preparing to sort out.
I haven't figured it out yet, but I can understand it. After reading it, the six gods had no master, and said, "How is it possible?" β
"That's why the next generation said that in order to go to the Holy Inheritance."
"Is there anything wrong?"
"No, it's okay to joke, but this joke is absolutely not to be made in the afterlife."
"For ......"
"Are all what Confucius said and did 100% correct?"
"Difficult."
"That's it, besides, he'...... Therefore, the future life talks about benevolence. Others are not only benevolent, but also other aspects, and later generations have many misinterpretations. β
"You ......" Liu Chu couldn't continue, in fact, Zheng Lang had already said that what is meant to go to the saint to learn from the ancients, look for it in ancient times, don't be deceived by the attention of future generations, find the true righteousness of the saint from ancient times, and carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, but at that time, everyone only felt that he was very big-minded, and he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he would "really" find it.
"Without him, there would be no development of Confucianism."
Yes, but what he promoted was a false Confucianism, which harmed many future generations. For example, for the Khitan and the party, can you use his benevolence and righteousness to move them. That's why Confucius said, treat people with integrity. It's a pity that the misinterpretation is like this, can the current Confucianism still be called Confucianism? It's better to call it Moxue. It's not him, many Confucians are at fault. β
"But you ......"
"The next life is very small, but the ambition is not old, and the ambition is not to live a hundred years old. Young Eunuch Liu, if the future students surpassed you in that day, would you be happy? β
"Will ......"
"Can you compare to Master?"
"I can't."
"You have this heart, Master. Later generations continue to surpass and carry forward his sacred learning, which is what the Master dreamed of. But to carry it forward is not to misinterpret his sacred teachings. β
"What are you going to do!" Liu Chu is very blind, after reading this lecture on benevolence, it is definitely more enlightened than listening to his lectures in prison, is it possible that your kid wants to be a sub-saint?
"I don't do anything in the next life, I just return the saint to learn the truth. In fact, the future life has been talking about the Tao of enlightenment, this Tao said that it is the world's great avenue, and the later life has no ambition like this, at least it is his own path, standing up for justice, being a virtuous person, and unswerving all his life. It's the trail, the afterlife...... It's so far away, just don't read it, and when you read it, you know that you know so little. β
Liu Chu knew that his words came from the heart, and then looked at the paper, there was no way, shook his head, and left in despair. Let's hope there are no loopholes. But once it is thrown out, it doesn't matter if it is preached at Xiangguo Temple or not. Even if it is held at the gate of the palace, the impact is not as great as that on these papers.
When I got home, my wife came up and asked, "Official, what's wrong?" β
"Don't ask, someone wants to correct Confucianism since the Han and Tang dynasties and correct the name of ancient Confucianism."
"You said your protΓ©gΓ©."
"Who can he say if he doesn't say it?"
"But the concubine didn't understand, what is the name?"
"According to his point of view, Confucianism in the Han and Tang dynasties and since our dynasty, and even the righteousness of the Five Classics used in scientific research, may be wrong."
"Ahh Mrs. Liu covered her mouth.
"I can't help it." After Lao Liu finished speaking, he fell into bed and covered his head and fell asleep.
β¦β¦
The four brothers and sisters of the Cui family came to the capital under such circumstances.
When I arrived at Xiangguo Temple, there were a lot of people, but I didn't stop at the door. Cui Xian said: "Is the rumor wrong? β
"People haven't come yet." The eldest brother said.
"Not the future, if he'...... Lecturing here will cause a sensation, you see a lot of people, but they are all pilgrims and people who come to Washi, and no one stays outside to wait, and there are no officials and forbidden soldiers to maintain order in advance. β
Washi is also called Washer, Wazi, refers to the market formed by trading in the open area of the city. In addition to the intersection, there are also some viewing sheds, where there are art performances, no admission fees, and when it comes to critical health, they use small plates to ask for rewards. The old lady in the palace did such a thing.
Because Xiangguo Temple is a national temple, it has a strong secular taste, occupies a large area, and there are many pilgrims who go to incense, so it also forms a tile market, and it is one of the largest tile markets in the capital, and there are as many as 10,000 people who trade and wander every day.
Even if Zheng Lang doesn't come to give a lecture, Xiangguoji Temple is also one of the most lively and prosperous places in Tokyo.
The little sister didn't mention it, but the three brothers thought it was weird. The eldest brother said to the second uncle: "Second brother, you go and ask." β
Holding a person, the second uncle asked, only to know that the location of Zheng Lang's lecture had changed, changed to Taixue, and only students and Confucian students could go in to listen to the lecture. Originally, many people came in the morning to watch the excitement, but after hearing about it, they all dispersed.
Cui Xian heard it and said, "Go to Taixue." β
"But you can't get in."
"Big brother, third brother, you are a lifter, I can't get in, you can go in, I'll sit in the car and wait for you outside."
"Okay." The four brothers and sisters turned back and left the Suzaku Gate again, and Taixue was on the edge of the royal street southeast of the Suzaku Gate, next to the Gongyuan. But after coming to Taixue, the four of them couldn't cry or laugh, that's what they did, how many Confucian students were there in the capital?
All of them had to go in, and the gatekeepers who were too learned saw that there were too many people and didn't dare to let them go anymore. These students are bold, they dare to attack the old lady, where are they afraid of a little Taixue, waving their hands one by one, they are protesting, and some of them are graceful, with Mei Ji, so Mei Ji also echoed the voice, shaking a flower handkerchief in his hand, and protesting coquettishly.
Several officials in Taixue looked at this chaotic scene, not knowing what to do, and were wiping their sweat with their hands.
