Han Dao world

Chapter 235 Keeping pace with the times
Yang Xiu went out in dismay, and met Cai Yan head-on.

"What's wrong?" Cai Yan slowed down and asked in a low voice.

After listening to Yang Xiu's new poem, the emperor was in a good mood. Not only did he talk to Yang Xiu for a long time, but he even asked Yang Xiu to have dinner with him.

Why does Yang Xiu have such an expression? Is it because the dinner is too simple?

Yang Xiu spread his hands, looked helpless, cupped his hands, turned and left.

Cai Yan was puzzled, but he didn't want to ask more questions.

With this temper, Yang Xiu has calmed down a lot recently, but he is still far away from a real minister.

Entering the atrium, Liu Xie was walking in the courtyard, saw Cai Yan coming in with a book in his arms, motioned her to put it on the table, and said, "What book do you want to read today?"

"The "Biography of Scholars" in "Tai Shi Gong Shu"."

Liu Xie's heart skipped a beat.

Yesterday I read "Dang Gu Biography" in "East View of Han Ji", and today I read "Tai Shi Gong Shu" "Biography of Scholars". Cai Yan planned to let him understand the history of Confucianism in this dynasty.

"It seems that I need to assign you a few guards in the future."

Cai Yan smiled. "Thank you Your Majesty, I am ashamed to accept it. It is not a day or two for the Confucianism to change. It is just that the minister has a good chance and stands in a suitable position."

"Confucianism wants to change?" Liu Xie wondered if he heard it wrong.

"Your Majesty doesn't think that the Confucianism of today is still the Confucianism of Confucius and Mencius?"

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

It is true to say that among the hundreds of schools of thought, Confucianism is the most fickle.

There are hundreds of schools of thought, but the most influential ones are nothing more than Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, yin and yang, and immortals.

The Mohism declined in the Han Dynasty.

There are very few people who study Taoism, and they stick to Huang Lao. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was basically no innovation.

The Legalists have never been able to form a systematic learning.

After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Legalism was reduced to a technique at the operational level, and it was no longer called a science.Even family heirs of legal studies, such as Fufeng Du and Yingchuan Guo, still study specific laws and regulations, and seldom study legalist classics such as "Book of Shang Jun".

What is really developing and changing is Confucianism.

The reasons for this are complex, but it is what it is.

At least in the Han and Tang Dynasties, Confucianism was still keeping up with the times.

It's just that the road gets more and more deviated, and I often trip over myself.

But every time Confucianism stumbles, it can always get up again.From Confucian classics in the Han and Tang Dynasties to Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties, there was a new study of Xinxue and Puxue, which were seriously opposed and looked down upon each other.

In the [-]st century, some people still advocate New Confucianism.

Keeping pace with the times is none other than Confucianism.

"Is yesterday's "Dang Gu Lie Biography" the original?"

Cai Yan lowered his head. "Whether it is the original or not, I dare not say. I found it from the classics collected by Lantai. The following is the postscript attached by the minister, most of which are what I saw and heard when I followed my father in the rivers and lakes. Write it down together, for posterity to comment on."

"I see." Liu Xie nodded. "This is a difficult decision, and no one dares to make it without great wisdom and courage."

Cai Yan waved her hands in a panic. "Your Majesty's absurd praise, I don't dare to be a minister, I don't dare to be."

Liu Xie smiled without saying a word, lost his mind for a while, and sighed: "The brave are timid, and the ignorant are fearless."

-

When Yang Xiu returned to the barracks, he was taken aback when he saw Yang Biao sitting in the tent drinking alone.

Yang Biao was deposed as a Taiwei, but he is still Da Honglu, one of the nine ministers. He should be living in the official office of Da Honglu Temple at this moment. How could he come to him.

Anyi is cramped, he doesn't have his own residence, he can only live in the military camp outside the city.

"When did father come?"

"Before dinner." Yang Biao picked up a salt bean, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it loudly. "Has the emperor given you food?"

Yang Xiu nodded.Thinking of the almost shabby dinner of the emperor, he wanted to cry.

"Not delicious?" Yang Biao squinted over.

Just as Yang Xiu wanted to nod his head, he glanced at Yang Biao's eager hand and swallowed it back.

"Even the Son of Heaven can eat it, so naturally I can eat it too."

Yang Biao hummed and picked up another bean. "Tell me about your retention of the Yi family and the removal of the county's food tax."

Yang Xiu sighed.Seeing Yang Biao, he knew that nothing good would happen, and he must have come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.

He followed Yang Ding and led his troops to Yishi and Xiexian counties to demand food and taxes. After he succeeded, he paid the salaries of [-] teachers for two months.

It was impossible for him to do so.

Those teachers have no other income except salary.The new year is approaching, even if the emperor has a reward, it is very limited in their hands.They are not alone, each has a wife and children behind them, waiting for their salaries to make ends meet.

In order to ensure their enthusiasm, Yang Xiu could only make his own claims.

If these money and food are handed over to the Dasinong or the Shaofu, and distributed in a unified manner, it is estimated that each person will be distributed for half a month at most, and it will not end until the first month of next year.

After listening to Yang Xiu's words, Yang Biao asked, "Has the Son of Heaven ever asked?"

"The minister wrote the petition letter while he was still on the road. The emperor ordered it, and said that it is not an example, and did not say anything else."

Yang Biao blinked. "Dezu, what do you mean by saying that the emperor emphasizes education?"

Yang Xiu blurted out. "What else is there to do? It's nothing more than gathering people's hearts and boosting morale. Let all the soldiers be taught by the saints, know honor and disgrace, and become real soldiers."

"A real taxi?" Yang Biao was slightly taken aback. "Those common people?"

"Father, Marquis Chiquan was just a knight back then, not superior to others."

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, Yang Xiu subconsciously covered his face.

"Try to say it again." Yang Biao opened his eyes and raised his arms high. "You unfilial son, is that what you say about Marquis Chiquan?"

Yang Xiu became inexplicably angry and jumped up.

He was really unlucky today, he was reprimanded, ridiculed, and even slapped at the end.

"It's the same if I say it ten times again. Marquis Chiquan was born as a knight. It is clearly stated in the "Tai Shi Gong Shu", and it is also said in the genealogy. It's just the pavilion chief, what shame is there for a knight?"

Yang Biao was stunned.

Is this anxious young man with a pale face really his son?
What he was most proud of since he was a child was the noble family background of four generations and three princes. How could he say so bluntly that Marquis Chiquan is just a knight after he has been in the army for a few months?
"You... You compare Marquis Chiquan with Emperor Gao, which is considered treasonous, yet you also confuse him with those ordinary soldiers?"

Yang Xiu was also stunned and rolled his eyes for a long time. "I... did I say that?"

Yang Biao was furious. "Could it be that I still framed you face to face?"

Seeing that Yang Biao was like a tiger on the mountain, and wanted to rush over, Yang Xiu quickly waved his hand to stop him.

"Father calm down, son doesn't mean that. But..." Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment. "I'm not wrong. The Marquis of Chiquan was originally a knight. The high emperor ruled the world, and there are many people who are ordinary people and are officials. There are also quite a few people who are not as good as the Marquis of Chiquan. Why..."

Yang Xiu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he was stunned for a moment, and then jumped up.

"I get it, I get it."
