Distress: My Years in Defeng Ancient Road

When Lin Chongyang was in office in the past, various branches within the Confucian sect were somewhat suppressed. This person was too strong. Let alone they privately found something for the Sword Emperor to do, the Sword Emperor would not find something for them to do. That's pretty good, so ideals and faction fights are off the table.

However, after Lin Chongyang left office, the previously suppressed Confucianism began to experiment in different ways.

Considering that the Sword Emperor was just stepping down, they didn't go too far.

But no matter what, it was done after all.

In the case of Dongwulin in the past, after a dispute, Shulou Longsu and the Confucian world were settled, and the Supreme Master made a final decision on it.

Nowadays, the influence behind the proposal of the four famous leaders of Confucianism is too huge, so the Supreme Master simply intervened from the very beginning and directly formalized this proposal, instead of letting those below use it as an excuse to make small moves. After all, the battle of ideas and factions can be limited to a certain range to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.

As Master Taixue said, they are all the pillars of our Confucian school.

Long ago, when the two met to decide on the future organization and structure, Lin Chongyang also said the same words.

"Every generation has its own things to do. Formal selection to avoid unnecessary sacrifices is indeed a good thing for the Confucian sect. It is not a bad thing to put the disputes between ideological factions on the table."

Resigning from office does not mean quitting Confucianism. They should consider the following things:
"At least, we have more platforms for communication between each other."

But then again, when it comes time to make a decision, one sect is nothing compared to the overall development. The Supreme Master had this realization as early as during the Li Clan War.

He picked up the teapot and poured more tea for Lin Chongyang: "There is an essential difference between New Confucianism and your reformist school."

“Aren’t they Neo-Confucian?”

"You said yes."

"Old Confucianism can also be subdivided."

The person who defined New Confucianism was Shulou Longsu who established the world of Confucianism.

The birth of the reformist faction is even older, dating back to before the establishment of the Confucian sect. This faction does not need anything. It only needs others to follow the changes. Whether it is seeking power or strength, as long as they are willing Change is reformism.

In the eyes of the reformists, there is no difference between old and new Confucianism, Confucianism alone, or the integration of the three religions into one.

Opposing them are the die-hards.

That is, those people who are unwilling to follow the progress of the times.

The reformists also had different ideas and factions due to various reasons, but they were united under the same banner. This was the attitude Lin Chongyang had always adhered to.

Under the premise of the same main purpose, there are different sub-purposes, which can play a balancing role and avoid making mistakes at the same time.

It is best to achieve a state where concentration is the main factor and argumentation is the supplement.

Even when Lin Chongyang was in office, he did not insist on having his own way, and his style was strong. However, he would listen to the opinions of others and reflect on himself. While constantly changing the world, he did not neglect his own improvement and perfection.

Strictly speaking, Feijun is more experienced in this regard. After all, the line of Confucian sages and Mingde prevailed in the off-line system.

"You are right about one thing. Calculating the time, I should also arrange for the public election of the six divisions. If not, when the selection of the four fronts is held, it is easy for people from all walks of life to underestimate the boundless learning sea." The Taixue Master revealed the topic. Pass.

Regardless of whether it is Confucianism or the ancient virtues and traditions, it is now a scene of vigorous vitality. On the other hand, the sea of ​​​​learning has no boundaries, and it is full of depression and twilight.

It is indeed time for the position of the Sixth Department to be replaced.

It’s hard to say about other places. There is no limit to the sea of ​​learning, and the Supreme Master is still able to keep his word to this day.

"Public election? So Xian Zhiyin also wants to participate?"

Rather than making a spur-of-the-moment decision, Lin Chongyang was more willing to believe that the Supreme Master had already planned for the public election of the six divisions, but lacked a suitable opportunity, and the fact was indeed as he expected. "The imperial department is still in charge of Situ Yan, the rites department should be replaced by Tai Shihou, the archery department is Dongfang Yi, and the book department is Yang Sen from overseas. Xian Zhiyin wants to go to the music department first to practice."

Behind everyone there is a school of old Confucianism, or at least support from one school, and the Supreme Master knows it well.

Because this situation was created with his tacit approval.

As for Tai Shihou and Dongfang Yi who often visited Fengyue places, Confucianism was neither Taoism nor Buddhism, and they did not abstain from sexual desire. During the internal strife in old Confucianism, going to Fengyue places was not even an excuse for criticism. Even raising geishas and actors was normal, unless like When Dongwulin made things big like that, people had to deal with it.

Otherwise, even the Supreme Master would not ask, let alone take care of it. He would occasionally listen to music when he went out for a walk in private.

Lin Chongyang picked up the tea cup and said, "Where are the number of orders?"

"There are no arrangements for several departments at the moment."

"Do you need me to recommend one for you?"

"This action can be regarded as interfering in internal affairs." The attitude of the Supreme Master was unclear.

Counting requires talent. If you know how to do it, you will know how to do it. If you don't know how to do it, you just don't know how. To be honest, Xuehaiwuya is short of people and outstanding talents.

"Flowing wind and smooth sound."

After giving the Master Taixue a name, Lin Chongyang began to taste tea. He knew that the other party would definitely not refuse.

Just how to arrange it specifically remains to be discussed.

"I was born in Xunyin in Yuanshan. I have a certain reputation in Wanxi Chaocheng. I can really carve it out."

The Taixue Master took Chang Yiyin into consideration, which is a good evaluation. However, whether he is qualified to carry out several orders depends on his ability and performance.

There is another hidden secret, that is, Yuanshan Xunyin and Ying Wuqian are very close.

Not surprisingly, Ying Wuqian, as the successor of Xia Chenglin, was responsible for training the next generation of Confucian saints and Mingde. This matter was not simple, but the Taixue Master actually didn't care much about this kind of thing.

Lin Chongyang put down the tea cup, glanced at Xian Zhiyin first, and then said:

"If Xian Zhiyin is in power in the future, I recommend Wang Xiaoming."

The three brothers of Wangjia were all sent to Defeng Ancient Road to study by Yi Xuanmiao, and each showed their talents in different fields. In the letters sent regularly, Yuli Jing attached great importance to the future of the three brothers.

"The forces under the control of the Confucian sage Mingde, the second son of Wang Xiaoran, the leader of Yitian Xuanmai, and the three brothers are currently studying at the Defeng Ancient Path. My friend, you still said that you did not interfere in the internal affairs of Xuehai?"

The Supreme Master chuckled, and his words were mostly ridiculing, because he understood the boundless sea of ​​learning and the ancient virtues.

Rather than interfering in internal affairs, it is more about supporting Xian Zhiyin. To be the Supreme Master, in addition to having excellent abilities, you also need to be able to convince others and have your own team, otherwise you will easily be ignored by others.

Frankly speaking, Xian Zhiyin is not suitable for playing tricks with others, but if he was good at playing tricks, the Supreme Master would not choose him.

It’s different in the past.

"With his talent, after graduation, regardless of Tiance Dynasty or Tiandu, as long as he is willing to go, he will be a core executive."

Correspondingly, Lin Chongyang also understood the Master Taixue and his character:

"It's more than enough to serve as an officer for several departments in Xuehaiwuya."
