Chapter 15 Zi Wei Zhong "Bridge" seemed to have received a slap in the face.
Lu Kun's body shook and he repeated it instinctively.
In fact, he has been quite depressed in recent months.
After spending half a lifetime reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and talking about the rule of the Three Generations for half a lifetime, I thought that in the new dynasty, the unique knowledge of the Holy Spirit could be carried forward.
However, he never expected that the lord he was assisting would suddenly completely break out of the Confucian mold and throw out another set of things that were completely contrary to the normal order of Confucianism.
This made him, who had been buried in poverty for half his life, how to adapt to the Erlu family, but he was already inseparable from Zhu Chongjiu and Huaiyang.
Even if he wanted to object, he could not muster any courage, so he could only hide all his confusion and depression in Deep inside, I endured the suffering silently.
But today, his father's words suddenly opened a wide window in front of his eyes.
Looking up, there is infinite scenery outside "Yes, bridge."
Under the bright whale oil lamp, Lu Zeng took a deep breath and nodded with a smile.
"Although the bridge is short, its value is a hundred times greater than that of the road.
Chongjiu is smart because his whole agreement has only one sentence, "Under the sky, everyone is created equal."
In this way, there are countless possible explanations below.
However, the rule of saints advocated by ancient sages and sages is actually unclear.
"It is a courtesy not to be disrespectful to the common people, and it is a great way for the world to be public."
Note 1 "Hiss" Lu Kun heard this and took another breath of air.
The expression on his face quickly changed from joy to solemnity.
For scholars, the second half of the sentence is a standard remark that is treacherous and unethical.
But in fact, it is absolutely impeccable.
The rule of three generations and the era of saints are not found in historical materials.
There are various opinions about etiquette in the words of sages.
It was not until the Han Dynasty that the Confucian sage Dai Sheng relatively systematically compiled the Book of Rites, but its content was too complex and scattered, covering everything from the royal family to folk customs.
Among them, there are very few that can withstand verification.
As for "Rites should not be extended to the common people", this is not the original words of Confucius in the Analects of Confucius, but comes from Confucius' family sayings.
The latter was written no earlier than the Han Dynasty, and many people in the Song Dynasty directly proved its falsification.
Therefore, it is very feasible to use the story of the Three Generations of Reign to explain Zhu Chongjiu’s declaration of equality.
By extending the Confucian classic Analects, it is not difficult to conclude that in the eyes of ancient sages, there is not much difference in status between people.
Otherwise, the master would not say that there is no distinction between education and distinction, and just tell the children of ordinary people not to study.
"My Confucianism is a knowledge of the world.
It is definitely not a way to float on the sea.
Otherwise, why would a saint lament that he has nothing to draw from?"
Seeing that his son's eyes were straight and he did not respond for a long time, Lu Luzeng took another deep breath and slowly added .
"When you enter the world, you must adapt to the world.
Otherwise, our Confucian school will have declined day by day like other schools of thought.
Therefore, the purpose of reviving new Confucianism is not just to assist your son-in-law, but also to ensure that our Confucian school can continue to prosper."
Note 2 "When times change, it is appropriate to change the law, right?"
Listening to his father's words becoming more and more serious, Lu Kun also took a deep breath and asked loudly.
"It's impossible or impossible."
Lu Luzeng took a deep look at his son and shook his head with a smile, "it depends on whether you seek temporary merit or eternal virtue."
"This" is Lu Kun, who is very knowledgeable and rich, but he was also confused by the words of the old No. 2.
After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't answer the next sentence.
"Your temperament is actually not suitable for this.
It's better to find a few smart and experienced disciples and let them line up in front.
You can secretly make plans behind the tent."
Lu Luzeng was obviously a little disappointed with his son's performance and smiled again.

Laughing, whispering instructions.
"My father taught me a lesson," Lu Kun smiled and nodded in recognition.
Compared with his father, who has been in high and low officialdom for so many years, he is indeed much "stupid".
When you encounter trouble, you don't know how to react on the spot, but it takes a long time before you finally figure out how to deal with it.
This kind of personality is indeed not suitable for charging into battle.
Whether flesh and blood are flying on the battlefield, or pen and ink are flying in the scholarly world.
But with his knowledge and connections, he can make the best use of his talents as a mid-level manager.
After all, if you want to establish a sect based on the principle of equality, you must have the secret support of the Huaiyang General Manager's Office.
The people Zhu Chongjiu is most familiar with and most at ease with are his own family members.
"When times change, it is appropriate to change the law.
This is what Lu said."
Seeing his son's face still showing a bit of unwillingness, Lu Zeng smiled and continued to teach him in a low voice.
"Although the Lu family is famous throughout the ages for reforming the Qin Dynasty, its end was quite miserable.
Although my father always said that you were stupid, I couldn't bear to see you end up like this in the future."
Note 3 "My child understands.
Father, please rest assured that my child is not in a hurry for success."
Lu Kun felt warm in his heart when he heard this.
He nodded and responded very seriously.
"As long as you understand."
Lu Zeng smiled and nodded, his eyes continuing to scan his son slowly.
Young and weak, even though he has already passed his forties, he is still too young for the path he is about to pursue.
But with my age and body, I'm afraid I won't be able to persist until the end.
Therefore, we can only find a few more helpers for him and let them share the responsibility.
"Although the Confucian revolution did not occur in the court, it may not be much less dangerous than Lu's reform.
Even if it is slightly less severe, it will be infamous for thousands of years.
Therefore, the one I admire most is Han Changli, who pretends to be a retrospect, but actually carries out innovation. .
He never encountered strong winds and waves during his lifetime, but after his death, Su Zizhan said that his writings had declined for eight generations, and Zhu Zi also called him a gentleman."
Note 4 At the "retro" moment, Lu Kun's eyes widened again.
"Yes, retro."
Lu Zeng smiled and nodded under the light like a thousand-year-old fox.
Every wrinkle on his face was full of cunning.
"In fact, whether it is innovation or retrogression, the ultimate goal is to seek change.
It's just that innovation often makes one mistake, and everything is lost.
Although retrograde, although the effect is slower, it is like drizzle to moisten things.
Therefore, those who have reformed in ancient times, even if things happen If you succeed, you will inevitably lose your reputation, and those who return to ancient times, whether Han Changli or Sima Wenzheng, will be admired by all generations."
"My father is right, my son would like to be taught."
The more Lu Kun listened, the brighter his eyes became.
The more he listened, the brighter his eyes became.
Suddenly he stood up and bowed respectfully to his father.
As the saying goes, there is no one who knows his son better than his father, and no one loves his son better than his father.
As a father, Lu Zeng knew that his son was unwilling to be regarded as a relative who "gained power because of his daughter" and was eager to start a career.
Therefore, the great task of establishing another Confucian sect was entrusted to him.
At the same time, as a father, Lu Zeng also knew the shortcomings of his son and was afraid that he would get into trouble, so he even taught him the specific implementation measures step by step.
That is, under the guise of retrospection, the reality is to practice new learning.
After all, whether it is the Rule of Three Generations or the classics of saints, there are countless ready-made things that can be misinterpreted and extended.

It would be no more difficult to conceive of it as "equality" than "when the barbarians and the Di enter China, the country will become China".
"Get up, get up, we father and son don't need these."
Lu Zeng stretched out his hands and pulled his son up with force.
Then, he added in a low voice with a hint of expectation.
"Actually, Confucianism should have changed a long time ago.
In the two Song Dynasties, both the scholar-bureaucrats and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together.
But now, apart from accompanying the young emperor to throw himself into the sea, the scholar-bureaucrats could not think of any way to turn the tide.
It's not that the scholar-bureaucrats were unwilling to do their best.
But the world has changed, time has changed, and Confucianism governs The art of the country has not changed accordingly.
It is said that half a book of the Analects can rule the world.
How can it be possible to truly rule the world with a half book of the Analects?
My father was plundered by Sesame Li, so he may not have had the intention of martyrdom.
However, I saw the red scarf thief in Xuzhou.
I saw how your son-in-law Zhu Chongjiu made utensils.
Training soldiers, how to use his fallacies to inspire soldiers to risk their lives and fight against Dayuan with him, my father realized that the world has changed a long time ago, but Dayuan still didn't even learn half of the Analects.
How can it be possible to innovate from the old and bring forth the new?
Therefore, today’s Dayuan is just like back then.
In the Song Dynasty, the more cautious I am, the more I will die like an old man.
But I, Huaiyang, am not afraid of my immature voice, but I am afraid that even if it sounds nondescript, it will still be a tiger's roar, which is enough.
It makes all beasts bow their heads in fear."
Note 5.
"Don't worry, my son, I will spread my Huaiyang voice and let the heroes of the world worship me."
Lu Kun was filled with pride and ambition when he was told that.
He looked into his father's eyes and nodded vigorously.
"Not only must it be spread, but it must also become its own line."
Lu Zeng patted his son's hand and smiled happily.
It was already late at night, but he was still in high spirits.
It was as if he had returned to the moment when he had just been named on the gold list.
He was full of expectations for himself and the future.
"You planned and arranged behind the scenes, and selected three or two young talents who were resourceful and knowledgeable to line up in front.
A complex If the master's teachings are successful, my Lu family will be able to inherit the legacy of the fifth generation, even if I have to live with my country, it will not be an exaggeration."
Note 6 Note 1: In Confucianism, many views are actually contradictory to each other.
On the one hand, he promoted the difference in treatment between scholar-bureaucrats and ordinary people, but on the other hand, he believed that "the path of the great road means the world is for the common good."
These two views come from the same classic, the Book of Rites.
Note 2: The full text is: "The Master said: If the Way fails, you will ride on a raft and float in the sea.
Those who follow me will be as happy as Zi Lu heard about it.
The Master said: You are braver than me and have nothing to draw from."
One saying is "Nothing."
"It's all good" means that Zilu has no redeeming qualities.
But Mr.
Qian Mu thought that Confucius was mocking himself for not being able to get the materials to make a bamboo raft.
To express your determination not to escape from the world in a tactful way.
Note 3: As the world changes and time changes, it is appropriate to change the law.
From Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals.
Without Lu Buwei, it would be difficult for Qin to accumulate the strength to dominate the world.

But Lu Buwei was eventually forced to commit suicide.
Note 4: Su Zizhan is Su Shi.
He highly recognized Han Yu's literary achievements.
Zhu Xi, on the other hand, highly praised Han Yu's ideological and literary achievements.
It is believed that he played an important role in reviving Confucianism when Buddhism and Taoism were prevalent.
Note 5: Half the Analects of Confucius can rule the world, a mantra of Zhao Pu, the Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty.
It means that the sage's knowledge is profound and profound, and a small part of it is enough to govern the country.
Note 6: Killing after five generations comes from Mencius.
It is believed that there is no long-term inheritance of glory and wealth.
He warned his descendants to work hard and not wait to die relying on the merits of their ancestors.
