Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 719 New Future, New Confucianism

Dou Yi took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and said, "Erlang, this is not an easy task."

Dou Yan said: "Brother understands, whether it is notorious or not, it is uncertain whether it will be successful, but this road must be walked by someone after all. Rather than leaving it to future generations, it is better to make a breakthrough first and explore the way. .Even if you fail, you can gain some experience for people and let them travel less.”

Dou Yi looked at the open-minded younger brother, held up the wine glass in her hand and said: "Second brother has such courage and ambition, I am ashamed of myself, I respect my second brother for a cup."

After the two drank together, Dou Yi looked solemn and said: "It is very important to establish a new study. As a brother, your attainments in classics and history are not comparable to yours, but a bystander is clear, and I will help you refer to one or two."

Dou Yan hurriedly said: "I can't ask for it!"

Immediately, he explained to Dou Yi the new learning he had pondered over.

"Xinxue was actually influenced by a little brother, his name is Liu Kai..."

Dou Yiben listened patiently, but when she heard the name "Liu Kai", she couldn't help but said, "Is that the Hedong madman?"

Even his prime minister has heard of this person's name.

Liu Kai's earliest name is unknown. When he became famous, he was called Jianyu, with the word Shaoxian. He called himself "teaching Confucius and being a friend of Meng Ke, Qi Yangxiong and shouldering Han Yu", so he was called Jianyu and the word Shaoyuan, which means inheriting Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan.Later, he refused to accept Han and Liu, and changed his name to Kai, with the word Zhongtu...

Liu Kai is a literati, but he is even more ruthless.During the next anniversary, he lived in Nanle County with his father.One night, some robbers broke into Liu's house.The family members were too scared to move, only Liu Kai drew his sword and rushed out, killing the robber over the wall and fleeing, but Liu Kai chopped off two toes with his sword.At that time, Liu Kai was only 13 years old.

The Liu family is a big local family, and the financial power is in the hands of Liu Kai's uncle.Liu Kai had a very unpleasant fight with his uncle, who wanted to spend money and the other was stingy, and the relationship between uncle and nephew was very tense.

Liu Kai had a friend named Zhao Changyan, who traveled to Daming Mansion to find him.The two hit it off, Liu Kai saw that Zhao Changyan was poor, so he wanted to support him with some money.

Liu Kai's uncle didn't give it, saying he was born in troubled times and everyone in the world was in poverty, how could he help them out.

In a fit of anger, Liu Kai set fire to his uncle's house.

The uncle who survived looked at his nephew and generously gave him [-] yuan to support Zhao Changyan, and from then on, Liu Huahua made a lot of money, and the relationship between uncle and nephew was extremely harmonious...

In fact, there is another incident in history. Liu Kai went to Beijing to rush for the exam and rested in a post station called Linhuai.The servant directly threatened Linhuai Ling to take his daughter.

Liu Kai was furious after hearing the news, boiled a pot of soup, killed the servant, threw it into the pot, and invited Lin Huai Ling to eat...

However, due to the atmosphere in Dayu's officialdom, this did not happen.

Of course, don’t look at Liu Kai’s ruthlessness. In history, he advocated the tradition of literature and orthodoxy, and advocated the unity of literature and Tao. He was the initiator of the poetry and article innovation movement in the Northern Song Dynasty. Behind him were Wang Yucheng, Mu Xiu, Shi Jie, and Fan Zhongyan. , Li Gou, Yin Zhu, Mei Yaochen, Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun, Su Shi, Wang Anshi, and Zeng Gong are all great people.

Fan Zhongyan once gave Liu Kai a very high evaluation in his anthology: Tang Zhenyuan, Yuanhejian, the main alliance of Han Tui was Yuwen, the ancient way was the most prosperous, Yixi had descended, and the bed and the Five Dynasties, the style of writing was weak, the dynasty Liu Zhongtu When he rises up, Maojun follows him.There are many Zhongtu people who can learn from the scriptures and explore the way, and there are many people who have written in the world.

But in fact, Liu Kai's own ability can only be said to be good, not top-notch.Compared with Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun, Su Shi, Wang Anshi, etc., they are not worthy.But he is arrogant and looks down on anyone and anything, so he has the courage to break the shackles of corruption and rush to the front line against bad habits and evils.

Liu Kai didn't have the ability to break the situation, but his behavior ignited the fire, and the big guys like Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun, Su Shi, Wang Anshi took the fire again and turned it into a raging flame...

Because of the appearance of Luo Youdu in the Dayu court, the decadent style of writing in the early Song Dynasty no longer existed.

What Luo Youdu admired was the impassioned frontier poems of the Tang Dynasty, encouraging students to show their masculinity, rather than the melodious sounds of drunkenness and dreams.Even Li Yu, a great poet of the Huajian School who still writes about love, has changed his style of writing, so naturally it is not Liu Kai's turn to start this again.

Liu Kai failed to set off the ancient prose movement, but his aloof temperament was destined to be restless, he advocated the integration of literature and Taoism, and he meant to combine Confucianism and Taoism.Liu Kai's own behavior did not have a major impact, but his bold integration of literature and Taoism illuminated a bright light for Dou Yan who was in confusion.

Decay can be used to break and replace...

According to Liu Kai's initial idea of ​​the integration of Taoism and Wen, Dou Yan kneaded Confucianism and mathematics together, and then, not satisfied, put some desirable knowledge of Taoism and Buddhism on the cloak of Confucianism, forming the foundation of the new learning.

Dou Yi listened to Dou Yan talking about her new learning little by little, her eyes were full of shock.

In fact, the integration of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism is a historical inevitability. The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were a stage, the Tang and Song Dynasties were a stage, and the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties were a stage.

After the transition of the Tang Dynasty, the inner consciousness of each other has merged at this time, gradually becoming "I am in you, and you are in me".

There are Confucian scholars who are proficient in Taoism and Buddhism, Taoist priests who are proficient in Confucianism, and monks who understand Confucianism.

Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty was a moral theology with Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism as its core, and Yangming Xinxue in the Ming Dynasty was a study that integrated Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism into one.

As a great contemporary Confucian, Dou Yi is also proficient in Buddhism and Taoism, and understands the core idea of ​​the new learning.Apart from the fact that there was a lot of mathematics in it, which made him a little shy, there was a little bit of sympathy.

Dou Yi thought: "If there is no 'number' involved, the new study will be very interesting... However, His Majesty should be very happy."

"Brother, what do you think?" Dou Yan looked expectant.

Dou Yi hesitated a little, but stroked her palms and said, "I'm so inspired, I'm amazed. Erlang, if you need help, you can talk to Brother Wei."

He has objections, but he also knows the principle of harmony but difference.

With tears in Dou Yan's excited eyes, she said: "It would be great to have my brother's support."

Dou Yi smiled and said, "Actually, father doesn't object to your innovative learning, it's just that you are old and have a good face..."

Dou Yan said: "Brother knows, father and lord's temper, as a son, there is no reason why he doesn't understand." He paused, and said: "Brother, there is indeed something that urgently needs my brother's help."

Dou Yi knew her younger brother's ambition, and said, "You tell me."

Dou Yan said: "In fact, this matter has been planned in my mind for a long time, and I have also met friends on the same road. It is just that the establishment of a new school does not happen overnight. It needs to integrate a large number of ancient books and classics. Our Kaifeng University collection is far less than the Guozijian Library, let alone The library of the imperial court. I hope that I can enter the Guozijian Library at will, and it would be even better if I can borrow the many rare books in the imperial library."

Dou Yi was surprised and said: "You are still holding the position of a bachelor, can't you get into the Imperial Academy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized the reason, and it must be because of Kaifeng University.

Luo Youdu is very strict about the appointment of officials. Recently, even En Yin has been restricted, and the status of the imperial examination has inevitably been improved.The more this is the case, the more attention this university receives, and the open and secret struggles between various universities are becoming more and more intense.

Dayu has many top-notch universities in recent years, such as Bailudong University, Yingtianfu University, Songyang University, etc. These universities are three of the four major academies in history. They have a long history and rely on their rich heritage. Become the world's first-class university.

However, Guozijian and Kaifeng University are both in the capital, and they are both at the feet of the emperor, so the conflict between them is great.

Dou Yan wanted to enter the Guozijian Library as a university scholar. The Guozijian would not stop him on the surface, but as the head of all officials, he knew that as long as he deliberately made things difficult, the Guozijian had a hundred ways to let Dou Yan enter without breaking the law. Not the library.

He said: "It is no problem for those who greet Jianzheng for the brotherhood to enter and exit the Imperial College Library, but if you want to borrow the orphaned collections in the Imperial City Library, you have to ask His Majesty for permission." Immediately, he smiled again Said: "Mathematics is something His Majesty has done his best to promote. He should be happy to see this matter. Tomorrow... Tomorrow you will follow me into the palace to meet His Majesty."

As Dou Yi said, after listening to Dou Yan's introduction to the new learning, he suppressed his composure, but a huge wave surged in his heart.

In fact, Luo Youdu was aware of the turmoil in Confucianism, but he did not go out to interfere. On the one hand, he was happy to see this. A strong new culture.On the one hand, he also knows that unless Confucius is resurrected, there are so many Confucian classics, and 1 people have 1 meanings, which cannot be formed by random interference.

Similar turmoil occurred at the same time in history, leading to the birth of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was kicked off by Hu Yuan, Sun Fu, and Shi Jie, the three masters in the early Song Dynasty, Zhou Dunyi, Shao Yong, and Zhang Zai laid the foundation, and finally Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, and Zhu Xi made the final perfection.

This system spanned from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, and it took hundreds of years to develop into a climate.

Luo Youdu's original idea was to intervene when Hu Yuan, Sun Fu, and Shi Jie formed the basic concepts of New Learning and change them to Confucianism that would benefit the imperial court.

He didn't expect that under the influence of the butterfly effect, Dou Yan proposed a new study before Hu Yuan, Sun Fu, and Shi Jie, and mathematics also played an important role in the new study, forming a new Confucianism.

Luo Youdu instantly realized that a new future was about to be born in front of him, which influenced the 600-year-old Song and Ming Neo Confucianism in China. The Confucianism with ethics as the core will no longer exist, and what will appear in the world will include mathematics, physics Even the new Confucianism of future chemistry.

"Clap clap clap!"

Luo Youdu clapped his palms vigorously, and said: "Learning the principles of Confucius and Mencius, learning mathematics to open up wisdom, Mr. Wang Zhi, you have said it very well."

He looked at Dou Yi who was worried, and said with a smile: "It's like, you don't have to worry, the way of Confucius and Mencius is the foundation of my China. It is the virtue of the country, and I attach great importance to the development of mathematics and science, but I will not abandon my Chinese virtues."
