Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 352: Conform to Public Opinion
Luo Youdu looked heartbroken, as if he hated iron but not steel.

However, he soon discovered that he had no one to appreciate his genius-like performance.

White is busy!

Under the main hall, there was silence.

Everyone in His Highness was shocked by Heng Qu's four sentences.

When Luo Youdu reprimanded the Kong family, everyone kept their voices silent and panicked, fearing that they would add fuel to the fire and bring disaster to the fish in the pond.

But with the appearance of the four sentences of Heng Qu, all the panic was swept away, replaced by emotional agitation.

Dou Yujun, Yang Ningshi, and Feng Ping, the three great Confucian scholars, looked at Luo Youdu standing on the top with fanatical eyes.

His eyes were full of admiration and excitement, just like a brainwashed fanboy.

Set up your mind for the heaven and earth, set up your life for the people, set your mind for the sages of the past, and create peace for the world!

This sentence is their lifetime dream and the highest state that all scholars yearn for.

this sentence.For these three Confucian scholars who have been studying all their lives, the power is indescribable.

"His Majesty!"

Dou Yujun was so excited that he burst into tears, and said: "This is what I want in my life. If I can listen to your Majesty's words, I will die without regret."

Yang Ning kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said in an almost begging tone: "I beg Your Majesty to lend me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone..."

Luo Youdu couldn't laugh or cry, let's get down to business, what's the reaction?
His eyes swept over to the Highness.

Feng Ping blushed excitedly, as happy as a child.

Wang Pu, Song Qi, and Xue Juzheng have been in the officialdom for many years, they are not pure Confucian scholars, and they have not acted out of line, but the excited eyes still can't conceal the mood at the moment.

As for Kong Yi and Kong Yu.

The two of them were completely lost.

Kong Yu sat slumped on the ground, mumbling, and kept reading: "It's over, it's over... The Kong family is over..."

Kong Yi's face was pale, as if he didn't know what to do.

Once this famous saying through the ages comes out, it will inevitably be recited by the world along with their Confucian family's bad deeds.

What has the Confucian family relied on to live happily for thousands of years?
Isn't it the reputation of the ancestors?
They have faintly realized what will be waiting for them.

Luo Youdu looked at the various expressions below, and his heart was also faintly touched. Maybe this is the charm of Chinese characters and languages.

A word, a few words can make people crazy.

He doesn't remember how he felt when he heard this sentence for the first time, but even in a future with complex thoughts and diverse cultures, even if the cultural differences are separated by thousands of years, Zhang Zai's four horizontal lines can still make him scalp Numb.

What's more, it is ancient times, or the literary desert period of the Five Dynasties.

The power of a short sentence is far beyond Luo Youdu's imagination.

Seeing Luo Youdu's permission, Yang Ningshi snatched the pen, ink and paper from the table in disregard of manners, and lay down on the ground to grind them.

Yang Ningshi spread the paper flat, filled the brush with ink, took a deep breath, closed her eyes and recalled the shocking feeling of hearing the four sentences of Heng Qu for the first time, her hand seemed to be out of control, and she swiped across the paper.

Seeing that Hengqu's four sentences completely disrupted his rhythm of criticizing the Confucius family, Luo Youdu was helpless.

Thinking about it carefully, this is not bad.

Click till.

Of course, since Luo Youdu did it, he didn't intend to leave any troubles.

His point so far is not to be soft-hearted, but to worry that people in the world will be soft-hearted.

After all, the Kong family was tainted with the brilliance of Confucius. If you beat him to death with a stick, some people will feel pity and feel that the crime is not so serious.

On the contrary, he left room for himself, showed tolerance to the Kong family, and gave the Kong family a way out.

Then let people reveal the things about the Kong family in Qufu bit by bit.

At that time, there is no need to put the Kong family to death. The saliva of scholars all over the world will drown the Kong family.

Thinking of this, Luo Youdu also put away his anger, and walked to Yang Ningshi's side.

what!
A gleam of surprise flashed in Luo Youdu's eyes.

For calligraphy, he now has a certain appreciation ability.

Yang Ningshi's four-sentence copybook is free and unrestrained, vertical and horizontal, and it is indeed a rare masterpiece.

At his level, this can be seen.

But I don't know that Yang Ning's calligraphy is a masterpiece in the world. It is known as a major pivot from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. home, has a huge impact.

Listening to Hengqu's four sentences for the first time today, I feel agitated and inspired, and write down the masterpiece of my life in one fell swoop.

Because of this insight, Yang Ningshi's status in the calligraphy world has risen sharply.

This four-sentence running script is directly compared with Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface" and Yan Zhenqing's "Nephew's Manuscript".

Yang Ningshi looked at her own work and said with a smile: "With this excellent work, I will die without regret."

He came back to his senses, remembering all the previous incidents, he couldn't help sweating profusely, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, forgive me."

Luo Youdu said: "If you give this copybook as a gift, I will absolve you of your crime."

Yang Ningshi had a bitter face, she was actually reluctant.

Luo Youdu said nonchalantly: "Just write another one."

Yang Ningshi felt even more uncomfortable, so he wrote another article. It's easy to say, if he really has this ability, then he is Wang Xizhi.

"Then, let Chen Tuo write an article!"

Yang Ningshi said pitifully.

"Okay!" Luo Youdu said generously, "Just don't lose my real product."

Seeing that the atmosphere was already off, Luo Youdu came to Kong Yi and Kong Yu and said: "I think that you, as the descendants of King Wenxuan, should carry forward the spirit of King Wenxuan. When is the spirit of King Wenxuan a sacrifice? Enlightenment is the key to success." The spirit of King Wenxuan lies..."

"I temporarily take back your right to offer sacrifices to King Wenxuan. I hope you will not forget your original aspirations and carry forward the spirit of King Wenxuan's education without discrimination."

"When will you regain this spirit, and when will I return the power of sacrifice to you."

Luo Youdu's words are sincere and sincere, showing the magnanimity of the superior.

Kong Yi and Kong Yu hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Luo Youdu came to Dou Yujun and said, "Mr. Yanshan!"

Dou Yujun bowed and said, "The old minister is here!"

Luo Youdu said: "I'll let you take over the post of enshrining officer! I believe that in the world today, apart from Mr., there is no other person who is qualified to promote the merits of King Wenxuan's enlightenment."

Dou Yujun hesitated for a while, but decided to accept this task.

This enshrined official has always been in charge of the Kong family, and he, an outsider, will inevitably have a lot of trouble if he takes over.

Dou Yujun is most afraid of troubles. If he has time to deal with these troubles, it is better to take more classes and teach more students.

But when I think of the four sentences of Hengqu, I think that no matter how hard I try, I will only let thousands of people read the book.

And Luo Youdu is the one who can make thousands of people read books.

To share his worries is to contribute to enlightenment.

Dou Yujun thought that he was too old to do anything else, so it was okay to wave the flag and cheer.

Luo Youdu waved his hand, and said with a sad look: "Okay, I'm here today, let's all back down!"

There was originally a dinner, but now there is obviously no need to prepare.

Luo Youdu still underestimated the power of Hengqu's four sentences.

There is no way to hide this kind of thing from happening.

The Confucius family worked hard and mobilized many people to go to Beijing, showing off and publicizing everywhere, and everyone knew about it.As a result, he left Bianjing in despair that day and returned to Qufu.

What happened in Jiying Hall was revealed to those who cared about it.

Luo Youdu's hatred of the Confucian family is ironless, his reprimand to the Confucian family, the performance of Kong Yi and Kong Yu, and the four sentences of Hengqu who turned out to be born out of nowhere.

Scholars in Bianjing are all discussing the four sentences of Hengqu, and then discussing Confucius and the Confucius family by the way.

Luo Youdu's magnanimity also shows his benevolent demeanor here, which is praised by the world.

But soon various news about the Kong family spread to the capital one by one.

The first thing that was exposed was that the Kong family took advantage of the privileges granted by Guo Wei to acquire [-]% of the land in Qufu County by illegal means.

The reason why the Kong family did not engage in education was also found out by the people in Bianjing.

not enough people!

The Kong family has too many fields, and the branch members take care of the farm property in batches.

They even set up a field management organization within the family to better manage the fields in their hands.

Then there is the agreement between the Kong family and the Qufu gentry.

The Confucian family held two sacrificial ceremonies and two cultural meetings every month, attracting scholars to live in Qufu.

The sacrifices and literary meetings of the Confucian family are directly linked to interests.

This wall is pushed down by everyone.

In addition to these bright things, some shameful things behind the scenes also surfaced at this time.

There was a scholar named Liu An in Qufu who got Yan Zhenqing's "Liyue Collection" by accident.

Kong Yu became greedy, and cheated "The Collection of Rites and Music" into his hands, and collected it in the Confucius family library.

Liu An wanted to seek justice, so he publicized the matter on the street, intending to make a big fuss, and use public opinion to get back the "Ritual and Music Collection".

As a result, before the news spread, the wealthy gentry in the city ordered him to be abducted, beat him up, and sent people to follow and threaten Liu An's family members.

Liu An had no choice but to calm down.

This matter was also raised at this time.

One after another, although they are not considered evil deeds, they subvert the three views of the world.

The Confucius family had an irreplaceable position in the scholarly community, and as a result one thing after another was exposed.

Almost all Shilin students have a feeling of being deceived.

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Deep love and responsibility.

From a wealthy family admired by everyone, the Kong family fell to the point where everyone shouted and beat them in just a few days.

Already impatient students began to deliver a joint letter of severe punishment to the Confucian family to the Xianggong in Bianjing.

The Confucian family, who committed a heinous crime, was not worthy of the emperor's benevolence.

The benevolence of the Son of Heaven should be applied to others, not the Confucius family.

Severely punishing the Confucian family gradually took the initiative in public opinion.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Luo Youdu complied with public opinion and once again announced the way to deal with the Kong family.

Confiscated all the properties of the Confucian family, the Confucian Mansion Library was state-owned, and changed to the Huaxia Library.

The descendants of the Confucian family should not forget their original aspirations, follow the example of King Wenxuan to educate the world, and spread them in Sifang academies and private schools to educate the people.

With this order, anyone who cares will understand that the Kong family is dead.

It's easy to disperse, but if you want to gather it back, it's like climbing to the sky.
