Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chapter 279 Chapter 277, five levels have passed, the bell rings 36

Although the ceremony is a bit more difficult.

But Chen Yuan couldn't help but hang up.

Because Chen Yuan knew what to do in order to pass the level.

The most difficult part of the illusion of these five levels is that it shields the self-consciousness, leaving only the most instinctive consciousness deep in the heart.

In this way, many people will naturally not be able to pass.

Chen Yuan entered the Ridao Pass.

What is etiquette?
"Li" originally refers to offering sacrifices to and worshiping gods.

The norms that were gradually formed in ancient sacrificial activities evolved into the hierarchical system of ancient society, and the code of conduct and moral norms adapted to this.

To put it bluntly, it is a set of social order, which is called etiquette.

Also known as etiquette.

This is the biggest conflict between Confucianism and Legalism. Confucianism wants to use rituals to govern the country, while Legalism uses rituals to govern the country.

The law of etiquette also says that you can kill people.

This time, there are two stories in the ritual stage.

One is Zeng Zi avoiding the banquet, and the other is Zhang Liang's apprenticeship.

Chen Yuan, who has a memory, passed the level directly and perfectly.

And it's very fast.

Ever since, everyone saw this scene again.

Chen Yuan didn't even have time to make a cup of tea, and Chen Yuan passed the third level.

This time, the degree of shock in everyone's hearts increased greatly.

You must know that in Jiantiantai, the highest clearance is only three levels.

Now Chen Yuan has reached it.

As long as Chen Yuan can pass another level, then he will surpass the entire Jiantiantai.

Come to the fourth pass, the first pass of wisdom.

There are three stories in this level. Chulong said that Queen Mother Zhao, Jiang Taigong are fishing and sweet wine is no longer there.

The first two have nothing to say.

The last story almost didn't make Chen Yuan overturned.

Because I didn't think of it for a while.

What is this story like?
Liu Jiao, the younger brother of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, was named Queen of Chu and Yuan, and he was very respectful to Mu Sheng, Shen Gong and others.

Mu Sheng didn't drink, so every time King Yuan held a banquet, he would prepare sweet rice wine for Mu Sheng.

When his son Wang Wu succeeded to the throne, sweet rice wine was served at the beginning, but gradually forgot about it later.

When Mu Sheng returned home, he said, "I should retire. I won't serve sweet wine. It means that the king of Chu doesn't care about me anymore. If I don't leave, maybe one day the soldiers of Chu will catch me and kill me at the waist." .”

So he claimed to be sick and kept his house behind closed doors.

Duke Shen and Bai Shengqiang dragged him to the banquet, persuading him: "Have you forgotten the kindness that the former king treated us? Now that the king of Chu occasionally misses a small gift, how can you be so fussy?"

Mu Sheng said: "It is said in the Book of Changes that one is a god who knows how many times. 'Ji' means subtle changes in things, which are the omens of judging good or bad. When a gentleman sees 'ji', he should take action and cannot delay for a day. The former king treated the three of us with courtesy to promote morality. Now the king of Chu ignores us because he has forgotten morality. How can a person who has forgotten morality be with him for a long time? Where am I for a little bit of etiquette?"

So he left on the pretext of being ill.

Shen Gong and Bai Sheng stayed behind.Later, Wang Wu gradually became arrogant and brutal.

Twenty years later, because of collusion with the Empress Dowager Bo, he was cut off from Donghai Xuejun, and later plotted to rebel. Shen Gong and Bai Sheng made an admonition, but the King of Chu didn't listen at all. They left the King of Chu in disappointment and retired to other places. went.

This fully demonstrates Mu Sheng's wisdom of seeing things in a small way and knowing others beforehand.

Chen Yuan didn't realize it at first, but when he thought of rum, he suddenly remembered this story.

The main reason is that the whole story is not well-known, and most people really can't remember it.

Liu Jiao's sons are very average, and his grandchildren are not good. It was not until Liu Yu that he was awesome.

Yes, Liu Jiao is Liu Yu's ancestor.

It was Liu Yu, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty.

Fortunately, this level can be regarded as a pass, but it took a little longer, extending to the time of a stick of incense.

Even so, Wang Yue and Shi A were shocked.

Since the establishment of these five checkpoints, there have been many people who have cleared the three checkpoints in history, but very few have been able to pass the fourth checkpoint.

There are only two in total, one is Li Ying and the other is Zheng Xuan.

Li Ying was hailed as a model for the world, he was on the list both times when he was imprisoned by the party, and he was even tortured to death during the second time when he was imprisoned by the party. Therefore, Li Ying's reputation among scholars can be imagined.

Zheng Xuan is even more remarkable.

Zheng Xuan's study is mainly based on ancient Chinese classics, and also adopts modern classics.

He annotated Confucian classics all over his life and sorted out ancient cultural heritage with his whole life, bringing Confucian classics into a "small unification era".

He is the author of "Seven Politics of Astronomy", "Zhonghou" and other books, with a total of more than one million words. He is known as "Zheng Xue" in the world and is the master of Confucian classics in the Han Dynasty.During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Zheng Xuan was listed among the 22 "ancestors" and deserved to enjoy the Confucian Temple.

This is an academic master, a master of encyclopedic knowledge.

Because people not only learn Confucian classics, but also understand astronomy, geography, colloquialism, exegesis, phonology, and vocabulary.

Terrible.

And this person is still alive.

It can be said that Zheng Xuan is the No. 1 Confucian classics in the world today, the master of Confucianism, and the leader of the literary world.

And now that Chen Yuan has passed the fourth level, he is already tied with the two to a certain extent.

Don't be dissatisfied, the five illusion cards of the Tiantai are recognized by the world as fair.

in a small circle.

Because those who can know Jiantiantai are not ordinary people.

Chen Yuan has now passed the four levels, and once word spreads, his reputation will definitely be greatly improved.

Wang Yue was also a little restless at this time.

"Chen Biejia, are you still going to pass the last level?"

Chen Yuan glanced at Wang Yue, why didn't he break in?

"If I don't break in, the old prince will let me in and satisfy my request?"

Wang Yue thought for a while: "Biejia Chen, wait a moment."

Then, Wang Yue left to find the old King Qinghe.

Why is this happening?

Because if Chen Yuan goes on, it will not only be bad for Chen Yuan, but also bad for Jian Tiantai.

It would be fine if Chen Yuan didn't pass the fifth level.

But if Chen Yuan really broke through, what should he do?
Not only did he slap the old King Qinghe in the face, but he also slapped Li Ying and Zheng Xuan in the face, and even slapped the faces of scholars all over the world.

Because Li Ying and Zheng Xuan can represent Confucian scholars all over the world in a sense.

One is a role model in the officialdom, and the other is a master in learning.

If Chen Yuan surpassed these two, Confucian scholars all over the world would lose face.

In this way, Chen Yuanke is in danger.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

Those people can't do anything else, but they are very good at slandering others.

Wang Yue also considered the overall situation.

When Wang Yue found the old King Qinghe, he told the matter.

The old prince was also hesitant.

In fact, King Qinghe proposed this condition originally to reject Chen Yuan.

Because he didn't believe that Chen Yuan could break through.

But judging by the current trend, maybe Chen Yuan can really pass the five tests.

Once Chen Yuan broke through, slapping the face was the second priority. The most important thing was that if someone broke through the five levels, they would automatically gain the authority of the vice-host of Jiantiantai.

This was stipulated by Emperor Guangwu at that time.

Why is it so stipulated?
In Liu Xiu's view, if someone can break through the five barriers, he is definitely a morally perfect person, and he is also a wise person.

Such a person sits in Jiantiantai, which will definitely benefit the great Han Jiangshan without any harm.

In fact, Li Ying and Zheng Xuan, who passed through the four levels, were also invited by Jiantiantai to settle in, and they were willing to give the authority of the deputy host.

However, these two people have no ambitions.

Now King Qinghe is in the dilemma of slapping himself or slapping others.

After thinking about it, King Qinghe said to Wang Yue: "Go and seek that kid's opinion. If he wants to break through, he can continue to break through. If he doesn't want to break through, it's fine. Regardless of whether he wants to break through, I will agree to his request."

King Qinghe still decided to slap himself in the face.

After all, we still have to consider for the Han Dynasty.

After hearing this, Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the best.

Wang Yue returned and directly told Chen Yuan what King Qinghe wanted.

He fully thought that Chen Yuan would not continue to break through.

But he never imagined that Chen Yuan still wanted to pluck the wool, so how could he not continue to break through.

As for offending Confucian scholars all over the world?
Are there few offenders?

Too many lice do not itch, too many debts do not worry.

Therefore, Chen Yuan said: "Taiwan Master Wang, I am willing to continue to break through the fifth level."

Wang Yue was suddenly startled.

"Chen Biejia, don't you know the pros and cons?"

Chen Yuan waved his hand: "Of course I know the pros and cons of this, but I have my reasons. I can't let the old prince lose his trust in the world."

Seeing what Wang Yue wanted to say, Chen Yuan said directly: "Master Wang, let's go to the last stage."

Seeing that Chen Yuan had made up his mind, Wang Yue couldn't say anything more.

After all, they are the ones who let people break through the five barriers. If they are willing to break through, they naturally have no reason to stop them.

Ever since, everyone came to the fifth level.

Before the fifth pass, many people have already come.

Now everyone in Jiantian Terrace has heard that Chen Yuan has passed the fourth pass, and they are here to verify whether Chen Yuan can pass the fifth pass.

This is a big deal.

Because since its establishment, no one has ever broken through the fifth level.

According to Emperor Guangwu, if someone can pass the fifth hurdle, even if he is not a saint, it will not be much worse.

At least it is at the level of Confucius' disciples.

And they are the most important disciples, such as Zilu, Yanhui, Duanmuci and so on.

Seeing so many people, Chen Yuan couldn't help but said to Wang Yue: "It seems that all the sages in Jiantiantai are paying attention to me!"

Wang Yue just smiled and didn't say much.

When it came to the fifth level, Wang Yue didn't talk too much, and directly opened the fifth level, Channel One.

Chen Yuanduan sat on the stone platform, waiting for the dense air to fill.

The next moment, the illusion began.

There are a total of four stories in this pass of the letter, a promise is a thousand gold, a tree is a letter, Zengzi kills a pig, and Weisheng hugs a pillar.

A Promise, a Thousand Gold is the story of Ji Bu.

Standing tall is the story of Shang Yang.

Zeng Zi's slaughter of pigs is naturally the story of Zeng Zi.

There is no need to say more about Wei Sheng hugging the pillar, it is the story of Wei Sheng holding the pillar and being drowned in order to wait for someone.

Chen Yuan was familiar with these four stories.

He is also very clear about the specific content, so he passed the level very smoothly.

However, this level made Chen Yuan feel a lot of emotions.

It's about the feeling of integrity.

He found that the ancients really attached great importance to honesty.

So words must be done, and actions must be resolute.

As long as it is said, it must be done.

It looks silly, but it's actually a spirit of abiding by the rules.

The rules here refer to a code of conduct, or a contract, recognized by all members of society.

There is one thing to say, the ancients had a lot more contract spirit than modern people.

Among these four stories, this Weisheng Baozhu is especially the one.

From the perspective of modern people, this student is definitely a fool.

It is completely possible to change places, as long as you can see the person you have agreed with without going far, it will not delay things.

But why didn't he change places?

This is a kind of deep-rooted integrity, and a very serious person.

It is where it is said to be, and it will never change places.

Society needs such people who look stupid but are actually the backbone of society.

Of course, this spirit needs to be learned, but it is necessary to be flexible in doing things.

Even Confucius, who advocated honesty, sometimes lied.

When Confucius was traveling around the world, on his way to Wei, he encountered the rebellion of the Gongshu family, and the group was besieged in Pucheng.Confucius sent his disciples to negotiate with the rebels, hoping to be released.Uncle Gong didn't make things difficult for Confucius. There was only one request, you can't help Wei Linggong, so as long as you promise not to go to Chaoge, you can let you go.

Confucius slapped his chest: deal!Unexpectedly, as soon as he left Pucheng, Confucius ordered his disciples to hurry to Chaoge.

Zigong quit: Teacher, you see that the rebels trust us so much, they let us go with a promise, and we go back on our promises, isn't it a breach of integrity?

Confucius gave Zi Gong a blank look: Can promises made under duress count?You can't be honest with this kind of person!When it came to Chaoge, Confucius immediately encouraged Wei Linggong to kill the uncle.

You need to understand the spirit, be flexible in doing things, and do not violate the original meaning. You can’t copy dogmatically, otherwise you will become a nerd who reads rote.

When the dense air dissipated and Chen Yuan's figure was revealed, everyone in Dao Palace was shocked.

This Chen Yuan actually passed the fifth level.

And when everyone was shocked, Jiantiantai suddenly thought of a loud bell.

The bell rang forty-nine and thirty-six times.

Second only to the death of the emperor and the succession of the new emperor to the throne, it was 45 times.

The so-called ninety-five flying dragon is in the sky, and it is said that the ninety-five is the respect.

Ninety-four, or jump in the abyss, no blame.

36 bells ring, which means that the first person to pass the fifth pass appears.

This time, even the old King Qinghe couldn't sit still.

After breaking through the five levels, although you can't be called a saint, you can already be compared to a sage.

For example, Yan Hui, Zilu, Duanmuci and so on.

Even if he treats such a person as the old King of Qinghe, he absolutely dare not neglect him.

And the emperor will come too.

The birth of such a sage, what does this represent?
It represents the benevolent government of the imperial court.

This is of great significance to the court that had just been ravaged by the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Because today's imperial court desperately needs such a person or thing to restore a serious political crisis.

It's a pity that Chen Yuan hasn't realized this problem yet, he just wants to get through the five levels and get the information he wants.

As he passed five levels, the impact would completely change his original plan.

If Chen Yuan wanted to go back to Jingzhou again, it would be as difficult as going to heaven.
