For thousands of years, Confucianism has been the most stubborn of all schools.Regardless of the content of the rules, the Confucian literati developed a very strong belief that they would not hesitate to sacrifice their lives in order to defend the rules they admired.This is called the temperament.When this kind of stubbornness is reflected in the good side, it is awe-inspiring, and it is called sacrificing one's life for righteousness, killing oneself to become benevolent, martyrdom with death, and so on.Strictly speaking, Cui Wei was not a Confucian student before, but after so many years of lurking in Confucianism, he was touched by the national integrity preached by Confucianism, and unconsciously, he developed a sense of value identity.That's why, when he talked about Dong Zhongshu's death festival just now, he was impassioned and couldn't help himself.He regarded himself as a member of Confucianism and was proud of the Confucian saint who defended the country.The poor season is now, and one by one the Danqing is down.He knew that since he couldn't escape from Yan Yuan's palm, why should he tremble and make a humiliating move.Even if he dies, he must die heartily like Dong Zhongshu.In the process of generously reciting righteous songs, he fell to the ground and lived the most wonderful climax of his life.The audience was in an uproar.Many people rushed up and helped Cui Wei up, but found that there was an extra blood spot on his eyebrows, obviously assassinated, but there was no way to find the murderer.Even if you find it, how can you go to the empty house in the private room on the second floor.The pot of unused meat soup on the table was still steaming.The top of Jungnan Mountain.The sea of clouds is churning, like a fairyland.Yan Yuan floated down on a rock, which happened to be the position he loved to be independent when he was young.He glanced back sideways, as if he was in a different world, listening to the sound of pine waves, his melancholy mood quickly subsided, and he walked into the academy.There is a couplet hanging at the entrance of the college, "The sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear, the family and the country, the world and everything is concerned", I don't know who wrote the title.Confucianism pays attention to self-cultivation, Qi family, ruling the country and leveling the world, and these two couplets well interpret the feelings between the birth of Confucianism and the entry into the WTO.It's a pity that the couplet is dead, people are alive, how many people enter and exit through this door, but they lose the original intention of Confucianism, and only use it as a stepping stone to chase fame and fortune.Yan Yuan stepped in, not glancing at this couplet.In the depths of the academy, there were soon bursts of exclamations, followed by a crisp and rapid bell, urging all teachers and students to gather to welcome the return of this former great gentleman.It's not so much about greeting as it is about fighting.After the new monarch climbed to the throne, he announced to the world, clearly showing Yan Yuan's crime of assassinating the king, depriving him of the title of literary saint, and issuing a sea fishing document.From that moment on, he was reduced to a great rebellion and had nothing to do with Confucianism.The seventy-two academies of Confucianism have bowed their heads and accepted the reality of returning to the Tang Dynasty, so their relationship with Yan Yuan is self-evident, and when they meet again today, there will be a fight.On the square, many strong men rushed to besiege Yan Yuan in the middle.They were terrified, and no one dared to make a move, not only because Yan Yuan was the Great Grandmaster of the Eight Realms, but also because of Mr.
Big's awe, they unconsciously lost the courage to fight.Yan Yuan stood there, although he had become a great rebel, he couldn't see the slightest downfall.In his early years, when he hid the utensils in his body, he liked to wear a coarse cloth shirt and pretend to be approachable, but now he has changed into a noble white coat, and the bearing of the great master is naturally revealed, which makes people dare not look directly.He put his hand in his sleeve and looked around at those familiar faces, inevitably feeling a little emotional, "In the past, when the teacher went down the mountain, I was the substitute teacher, I should have taught you, there are friends from afar, don't you also say" Qunru was silent, no one dared to answer.Yan Yuan is the best at arguing and talking eloquently, "Even if you tend to be inflammatory, surrender to that little emperor, and don't recognize me as a saint, but for the sake of me guiding you for so many years, it shouldn't be too much to call me sir" He obviously wanted to play the emotional card.Sure enough, after everyone was silent for a moment, they all bowed, "Meet Mr.
Big." ”Yan Yuan sighed and sighed: "In my lifetime, even to get this title, I still need to spend my tongue, I can't help but sigh, the success and defeat of the king, the rise and fall of the dynasty, and even the name of the master can be subverted" In the previous Zhongnan Academy, Yan Yuan was in charge of all affairs.And now, Yan Yuan stood on the opposite side, who dared to stand up and talk to him head-on Yan Yuan was not surprised by everyone's reaction, and said lightly: "It's always so deadlocked, everyone is very tired."
I understand your difficulties, so let's make a long story short. ”Salute first and then soldier, even if he comes to destroy Confucianism and acquaintances turn their faces, he has to have a rhetoric.What's more, he still has illusions about this group of people."
I don't want to be reasonable, and you can't tell me.Let's be honest, today's Northern Tang Dynasty is no longer as good as before, and our Confucianism will lose its exclusive status, and it will inevitably be impacted by other schools. ”As Yan Yuan spoke, he suddenly raised his head and stared at the back mountain, his eyes were a little strange."
You all know that during the Chang'an War last year, we Confucians were still on the side of the martial arts and fought fiercely with the Gao family.Moreover, the little emperor had a hot fight with the Mo family, and it is conceivable how he would treat Confucianism. ”He is telling the truth.Although the little emperor Gao Pan advocated a hundred schools of thought to contend, open up their views, and listen to and believe, for Confucianism who had been respected for many years, it was equivalent to decline and decline, and was beaten back to its original form.Not to mention anything else, at least in terms of the selection of officials, the number of places in the Confucian academies has been greatly reduced, and if they want to enter the official career, they will face great difficulty in competition.Through the changes in everyone's expressions, Yan Yuan could see that he had hit their sore spots."
Confucianism has lost the support of the sages, and this piece of heaven and earth is no longer a place for you.Of course, I'm more depressed than you, so I don't want to make a living anymore, and I plan to leave Beitang. ”Everyone raised their heads and stared at Yan Yuan in amazement.Speaking of which, he finally got to the point, where did Yan Yuan want to go" The Confucian sages said too many truthful sayings, and even they themselves were in conflict.They are the ones who are loyal and patriotic, and in the end, they are the ones who say that good birds choose trees and perch on trees, and those who know the times are handsome. ”Yan Yuan shrugged his shoulders and showed a sarcastic expression, "So, I don't want to be bound by those morals and rituals anymore, I want to live in the moment now, go south to the Ming Lord, and make a great achievement" Hearing this, everyone changed color.Going south is to treason the country and join the enemy Yan Yuan turned a blind eye to these expressions, and said to himself: "As the saying goes, if people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed."
You ask yourself, continue to stay in the Northern Tang Dynasty, what else can you get besides being aggrieved and depressed" His intentions became clearer and clearer.When some of the elders heard the fame, their faces changed, and they didn't know if they were tempted.Yan Yuan said awe-inspiringly: "You might as well say it bluntly, I originally thought that sooner or later I would be your enemy, so it would be better to kill you and get rid of you today" In the midst of the uproar, he blinked and said softly: "However, you should be glad that you were willing to call me Mr.
Big just now."
Acquaintance is fate, I have softened my heart, and I am willing to have a chance with you. ”He turned around and looked up at the southern sky, his posture unruly."
Follow me south, the great country is waiting for us to gallop.I promise that as long as you follow faithfully, the seeds of Confucianism will be sown all over Jiangnan, and that is our time":
