Chapter 28: Dagger Appears Part Two Since the picture in the telescope has not been enchanted, the Confucian theory of destiny and principles that has been regarded as orthodox since the Han Dynasty has lost the support for its existence.
The reincarnation of the five virtues may not be correct, and the emperor cannot be ordered by heaven.
The so-called telepathy between heaven and man has all become false talk.
For a time, thousands of horses were silent.
Not only the Confucian disciples became at a loss, but also the Taoists, monks, Onmyoji, Cross believers and Tianfang believers were at a loss for what to do when the starry sky suddenly became extremely clear under the telescope.
The latter two have been introduced to the land of China for a short time, and they are relatively isolated, but they are extremely capable of making money.
After surviving the initial blow, immediately launch a counterattack.
But also because of their relative isolation, they were unable to mobilize a large number of disciples to come forward like the Confucianists, nor could they directly use state machinery to suppress heresy like they did in their respective jurisdictions, the West and Central Asia in this era.
Therefore, they can only "make do with compromises" and search for high-precision telescopes everywhere, trying to find out from the observation results the fatal omissions in the twenty-eight constellations charts that are being released one after another.
The principle and manufacturing process of telescopes are not too complicated, and the Huaiyang Grand Administrative Office has not restricted its sales scope as strictly as it treats artillery and muskets.
Therefore, whether it is from other red scarf princes or from Huaiyang merchants, Through designated channels, as long as you pay enough, you can buy one or two samples.
After these samples have been disassembled and scrutinized by thoughtful people, it is not difficult to draw the exact same conclusions.
For a time, the price of decolorized glass sold by Huaiyang Company skyrocketed.
Craftsmen from various places who know how to polish mirrors or polish jade jewelry also double their worth instantly.
With investment regardless of cost, civilian telescopes with five times, ten times, and even fifteen or twenty times were born one after another.
Qixia, Niu Shou and other peaks around Jiangning are filled with strangely dressed senior monks from the Cross and Tianfang Sect, meticulously observing the stars almost every clear night.
However, what hit both the Christian Sect and the Tianfang Sect hard was that within the observation range of the telescope, the Twenty-Eight Constellations Chart obtained by the Huaiyang Grand Administrator's Observatory could no longer surpass it.
Instead of finding errors in the star map, they unintentionally discovered more truths.
The new stars in the Milky Way are shining, the surface of the moon palace is uneven, the paths of metal, wood, water, fire and earth are not at all going around the earth as Ptolemy said.
Judging from the observation results of several consecutive nights, they are orbiting the target, which is very likely to be the sun, and the sun itself may not be stationary.
It also seems to be moving slowly along a certain trajectory.
Just like other stars in the galaxy.
If the twenty-eight constellations, which are being carved on stones one after another, spread from China to the West, there is no need to think about the consequences.
The Tianfang Sect will inevitably suffer the heaviest blow in history, while the Cross Sect will directly fall into eternal catastrophe due to the collapse of the geocentric theory.
In this time and space, the conflict of doctrines is not as important as their own life and death.
In the face of the disaster "falling from the sky", the shepherds of the Cross Church and the preachers of the Tianfang Church in Huaiyang, who were originally incompatible with each other, quickly shook hands and made peace.
Immediately entrust the warning message to the sea ship to take it back to their respective territories, and ask their respective top leaders to find a way to deal with it in time.
Note 1 Just when the fanatical believers of various sects were in chaos, Qingqiuzi, who was once regarded as a enemy by Zheng Yu, Zhou Tingzhen and others, suddenly published an heroic article in several newspapers at the same time, Yuan Ru.
The article unceremoniously points out that Confucianism has entered a misunderstanding since the Han Dynasty.
Dong Zhongshu does not deserve to be called a saint at all, but a villain in the Confucian sect.
Although he was instrumental in prompting Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to "depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism", he established the orthodox status of Confucianism for more than 1,400 years.
However, his grasp of the true meaning of Confucianism is only half-full.
Only one of the Six Classics can be understood, and the art of yin and yang was introduced into Confucianism, causing trouble for thousands of years.
Confucianism since the Han Dynasty actually relies on the way of heaven, interprets yin and yang, and attributes its name to benevolence and righteousness.
Completely misunderstood what Confucius meant.
In true Confucianism, what matters is not the superficial rules, but the inner Dao.
The so-called Tao, as Han Zi Tuizhi said in the original Tao, is benevolence, righteousness and morality.
"Whole love is called benevolence, doing it appropriately is called righteousness, what follows from it is called Tao, and what is sufficient for oneself and not waiting for others is called virtue.
Benevolence and righteousness are the names, while Tao and virtue are empty positions.
Everything I call Morality means combining benevolence and righteousness."
The inheritance of the Great Dao is also as Han Zituizhi said, "Yao passed it down to Shun, Shun passed it down to Yu, Yu passed it down to Tang, Tang passed it down to Zhou Gong, and Zhou Gong passed it down to Confucius.
Meng Ke’s death cannot be passed down.”
Therefore, after Meng Sheng, the great road was cut off.
Xunzi is known as the sage of Confucianism, and he is actually the ancestor of imperial art.
After the Qin Dynasty, due to the disaster of burning books and entrapping Confucians, the Confucianism that revived has been far away from its true meaning.

The Book of Rites has been falsified for many years.
Rites are not the goal of saints seeking the great truth at all, but are at best one of the means.
The reincarnation of the five virtues, the induction of heaven and man, and the constant destiny are incompatible with the great road.
Therefore, since Zhu Zi, true Confucianism has respected Han Yu but not Dong Zhongshu.
It emphasizes "preserving heaven's principles and destroying human desires."
This natural principle is a new understanding of the great road.
It's just that Zhu Zi was one step short of seeing the existence of the great road, but failed to return to its origin.
If it had been a month ago, the Confucian scholars in the world would have gathered together to attack him.
But now, even the most stubborn person like Wang Feng has to admit that Qingqiuzi's words may indeed have some truth.
After all, it can be concluded from his explanation that the Confucian masters Kong Sheng and Meng Sheng did not make mistakes.
It was only the unscrupulous disciples who made mistakes later, who distorted and dwarfed the teachings of saints for the sake of fame and fortune.
As the saying goes, choose the lesser of two evils.
Rather than letting Confucianism completely decline by pretending to be deaf and dumb, Qingqiuzi's original Confucianism, although bitter, undoubtedly pointed out a way for Confucianism to survive.
That is, to restore the original meaning of Confucius and Mencius, and to abandon the misrepresentation of Confucianism and Confucianism in Qin and Han Dynasties.
However, it is not that easy to "retro".
After all, the avenue has been cut off for so many years, and there are too many other things mixed in between.
The teachings of Confucius and Mencius are all quotations and do not have a relatively complete and self-justifying system.
Under this circumstance, another article titled Asking Questions published by The Scholars Zhengyi in late May is extremely precious.
At the beginning of his article, he quoted a famous saying of Zhuangzi, "When one comes out, there is no origin, and when he enters, there is no aperture.
There is reality but no place, there is length but no origin.
There is reality when there is something out but no aperture.
There is reality but nothing.
The one who is in the place is Yu; there is a long way to go.
But those who have no origin are the universe."
Then based on the various novel sights seen recently on the observatory, he boldly asserted, "The stars live in the universe, and they are like dust floating in the air, and they are one of the millions of stars. ” The reason why the stars live in the universe and do not fall is because of the Tao.
The birth and death of all things on earth is also due to the Great Dao.
Although Tao is immeasurable, it is omnipresent.
The two sages Confucius and Mencius saw the greatness of Tao, so they were humble and eager to learn.
When later generations of Confucians look at the Great Dao again, they are like peeping at a leopard through a hole.
I only saw a glimpse of it, but thought I had the whole picture, so I stuck to my laurels.
If today's Confucians want to return to ancient times, they must first follow Zhu Zi's words and study things to gain knowledge.
First clarify the principles of things around you, and then from small to large, you will naturally get closer and closer to the great road.
This article does not acknowledge Qingqiuzi’s statement that Tao is “benevolence and righteousness”.
But this article gives a specific and feasible "retrospective" method to learn from things.
What makes Confucian scholars all over the world even more happy is that the author of this article is signed by Xiaoyaozi.
There are hundreds of sages named Xiaoyaozi all over the world, but there is only one person who is the most famous and lives in Huaiyang.
That was Lu Kun, the former head of the Bureau of Ceremonies and now the governor of the Supervisory Yuan.
"Butcher Zhu did not intend to drive out all the scholars."
"It turns out that Butcher Zhu's theory of equality is the art of benevolence."
"No wonder he keeps claiming that don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you.
It turns out that he wants to restore the teachings of the saints and is not going backwards."
You may not be able to learn any talents if you are old and poor.
But those who can read the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly and master them at their fingertips must not have a low IQ.
On the day Lu Kun's article was published, the scholar Zhengyi was once again sold at a high price in Luoyang.
Almost all the scholars in Huaiyang at this moment, whether those who continue to be sworn in with Huaiyang's New Deal or those who have devoted themselves to the General Manager's Office to "help the world", quickly smelled it.

That is, a certain butcher is ready to reconcile with scholars.
He and his staff were looking for a way to combine Confucian restoration with the Huaiyang New Deal, rather than resorting to other heresies.
This news shocked the scholars no less than the appearance of the star map.
As soon as the new issue of Scholars' Justice spread to Jiangning, Zheng Yu, Zhou Tingzhen, Wang Feng and more than thirty "Confucian scholars" who vowed to sacrifice their lives for the sake of morality immediately divided into two factions.
One group, headed by Zhou Tingzhen and Wang Feng, believed that although everyone's resistance was not recognized by Zhu Buthu on the surface, it had achieved practical results.
Next, what should be done is to "restore the ancients" in order to pass on the saint's unique knowledge to the world.
The other group, headed by Zheng Yu, Boyan Shouzhong and Wang Han, still insisted on reprimanding the thieves face to face.
However, the last three people's desire to die has also weakened a lot, but it is far less like home than before.
The "comrades" brought by these thirty people from their respective origins were also divided into two.
Some people are ready to give up their past grievances and are determined to go "retro".
The other part, because of their own interests, insisted on not recognizing the "Zhu Thief" Zhengshuo, and prepared to retire to the countryside from now on to wait for changes in the world.
At this time, a piece of news spread throughout the country through newspapers.
"Wu Gong, the Prime Minister of the Left, the Grand Superintendent of the Huaiyang School, and Zhu Chongjiu, Pingzhang of the Jiangbei Province of Henan, will visit Jiangning in early June, go up to the stage to watch the stars, and congratulate the new twenty-eight stars on the world."
Note 1: In the Middle Ages, Christianity was far more closed than Confucianism.
Confucianism does not recognize a doctrine and mostly criticizes its founder verbally and in writing.
Christians were directly burned at the stake
