I studied in modern times

Chapter 198
Guiwei (21) in June of the eighth year of Yuanfeng, in Jiying Hall.

Fan Chunren held the book and read it, and he read a piece of "Yao Dian" in a cadenced and wonderful way.

After Yao Dian finished reciting Fan Chunren, he stood up with the book in his hand and asked respectfully: "Official, do you have anything to ask?"

Zhao Xu shook his head with a smile, and said: "Ai Qing spoke very well, I already know something about Yao and Shun!"

Fan Chunren worshiped again: "I am afraid, begging the officials to speak for me about the theory of "Yao Dian"!"

Zhao Xu smiled and explained it in layman's terms.

"Shangshu" is a classic among Confucian classics.

It is also a weapon used by Confucianism to brainwash scholars, bureaucrats and kings.

This opening chapter of "Yao Canon" is naturally a famous chapter that explains Confucian ideology.

At the beginning, it was to praise the great achievements of Emperor Yao.

Then he touts his political achievements, and finally draws out the motives, reasons and reasons why he should surrender to Emperor Shun.

Although, most emperors would not believe these things.

Especially the emperor who has been in power for a long time, the less trustworthy he is.

Of course, whether you don’t believe it or not, you can’t stand the literati chanting scriptures every day. Even the most arbitrary emperor will inevitably mutter in his heart: “Could it be true?”

Therefore, Confucian chanting is really effective.

Most emperors can't help but follow Confucian ideology and morality.

Sometimes if you are lucky, you might run into a truly faithful emperor.

Unfortunately, these tricks completely failed in front of Zhao Xu.

Because in modern times, Zhao Xu had seen the things unearthed from the Taosi archeology.

What happened to the three generations of Yao, Shun and Yu?
Zhao Xu is clear now.

However, this does not prevent Zhao Xu from pretending that he really believes in front of outsiders.

Because he knows that Confucianism is his best ruling tool!

This is also a conspiracy of Confucianism!

It doesn't matter whether the emperor believes it or not, what matters is that the emperor respects it.

After hearing Zhao Xu's explanation, Fan Chunren bowed down immediately: "I am terrified..."

Several other banquet officials congratulated one after another: "Your Majesty's sage is really a blessing to the world!"

Zhao Xu quickly said: "It's also well said by you gentlemen!"

"Especially Mr. Fan!"

"Your servants are terrified!" Fan Chunren and others hastily bowed again.

Zhao Xu and Feng Jing ordered: "Bring tea to all gentlemen, and condolences!"

Then there were ministers who brought the best boiled tea soup and gave it to all the banquet officials.

This is the end of today's sutra feast.

Fan Chunren led the group of ministers to thank him again, drank the tea soup given by Zhao Xu, and then respectfully sent Zhao Xu away from the Jiying Hall.

……

Zhao Xu returned to Da Nei, and first went to Baoci Palace to greet the two palaces who were reviewing the memorial.

When the two palaces saw Zhao Xu coming, they put down what they were doing.

"How do you feel about the official banquet today?" asked the Empress Dowager.

"Back to my mother-in-law, the teachers taught me very well!" Zhao Xu sat next to the two palaces and said sweetly: "Especially Mr. Fan, his lectures were very good, and my grandson was also very inspired..."

"That's good!" The Empress Dowager nodded.

Looking at Zhao Xu's appearance, Lianggong felt somewhat disappointed.

Zhao Xu saw it, and said calmly: "In the future, if grandson encounters something he doesn't understand, can he still come and ask his mother and queen mother?"

The two palaces immediately beamed with joy, and said one after another: "Of course!"

They naturally know that the scholar-bureaucrats and ministers want to take away the education rights of the officials (six brothers) from them.

But the officials took the initiative to ask them, and the ministers couldn't care less!
……

It was already noon, and the scorching sun was scorching the land outside Bianjing City.

Pedestrians on the official road are sparse.

Most people choose to walk under the trees planted on both sides of the road.

A prison car, under the escort of the sergeant, walked slowly to a shady tree.

There is a row of tea shops here.

In the tea shop, many merchants and pedestrians on their way were drinking tea.

When I saw these sergeants escorting the prisoners, especially when I saw that the leader of the escort was actually a censor wearing a Haechi uniform.

Many people immediately paid their bills in a hurry and continued on the road.

They can't afford it!

But at the entrance of a tea shop, two middle-aged men in the uniforms of scholar-bureaucrats continued to drink tea and replenish water in a calm manner.

The sergeants behaved well, and they didn't dare to make noise when they entered the tea shop. They just took out copper coins and said to the shopkeeper, "Serve tea!"

Seeing this situation, the two scholars were surprised for a moment, and one of them couldn't help but take another look at the appearance of the censor who stayed under the shade of the tree.

Then he seemed to recognize the other party, and waved his hands from a distance: "But Bo Xiu?"

Hearing the words, the censor immediately looked over, saw the appearance of the scholar, rubbed his eyes, and hurriedly came over to salute: "Your official has seen Lu Longxue!"

He looked around the scholar in surprise, there was no Yuan Sui and no servants!
There was only one man sitting at the same table with him, although he was wearing a scholar-official robe, but his skin was dark and rough, and he was as strong as a general.

The scholar named Lu Longxue smiled and said, "Someone recommends Bo Xiu..."

"This one is a colleague of a certain one, Uncle You Jing, a master of Jingzhaoyou, Fang Cong Huanqing Road Jinglue Division has completed his term of office, and he is about to return to Beijing to wait for the palace. Unexpectedly, he meets a certain Daozuo. It can be called an old acquaintance in a foreign land..."

You Shixiong got up and bowed respectfully.

The censor quickly returned the gift.

Then Lu Longxue introduced it to You Shixiong: "Uncle Jing, this one is Yuwen Changling, and Changling's name is Boxiu..."

"Now it should be the supervisory censor of the dynasty..."

Lu Longxue looked at the prisoner in the prison cart, who was being shackled, and asked, "Is that criminal Zhang Zhijian escorted by Boxiu?"

"Exactly!" Yuwen Changling nodded: "This crime will be brought back to Dali Temple for trial!"

As he said that, Yuwen Changling bowed his hands to Lv Longxue and You Shixiong again: "I'm the censor, and I have a job, so it's really not easy to talk to Longxue and Uncle Jing. I'll pay my respects to the two kings after I rest in the next day!"

Lu Longxue nodded, and bowed his hands in return: "Bo Xiu please!"

You Shixiong also cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely visit Boxiu in the future!"

The three bid farewell.

After the sergeants finished their tea, they threw down the copper coins in a polite manner, paid their bills and left.

Seeing this, You Shixiong praised: "Unexpectedly, there are people who are good at running the army in Yushi Taizhong?"

Lu Longxue nodded: "Naturally, Bo Xiu has never read the art of war, and he once intended to join the army..."

You Shixiong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "In the future, we need to get acquainted with each other!"

He likes to make friends with this kind of people who love to lead soldiers.

Seeing You Shixiong's appearance, Lu Longxue laughed: "Uncle Jing is still the same as before, he has not changed his original intention!"

You Shixiong nodded: "Master was giving lectures back then, and he was ashamed of the Western thieves. His lifelong ambition was to defeat the Western thieves and bring peace to the people of Shaanxi!"

"As a disciple, how can someone not follow it?!"

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Longxue and asked, "Where's Wei Zhong? Can Wei Zhong still remember the teachings urged by his teacher when Heng Qu's disciples gave lectures back then?"

Lv Longxue listened, and after a moment of silence, he said, "How dare you forget the teacher's teaching?"

"But there are priorities..."

Lu Longxue is naturally the newly promoted Longtuge Bachelor Lu Dafang.

"Heh!" You Shixiong laughed, "Wei Zhong probably remembers not only the teachings of the former teacher, but also the teachings of the two Mr. Cheng!"

Lu Dafang remained silent.

You Shixiong said: "Hasn't Wei Zhong heard of it?"

"Young master, I know the four words of the teacher!"

"It was even highly praised by the two palaces!"

"I am a member of Hengqu, and there is hope for revitalization!"

Since ancient times, as long as a theory is recognized by the imperial power, it will surely prosper!
What's more, Hengqu's study is bright and upright, dignified and upright, it is really the study of a gentleman, the study of a gentleman!

In You Shixiong's eyes, Hengqu's learning can compete with Er Cheng's and Shao Yong's learning.

It is Wang Anshi's new learning, if it is blessed by the imperial power, it might not be impossible to touch it.

However, since Hengqu's ancestor died.

Once Hengqu opened the gate, it was already like a pan of loose sand.

There are even some people who clearly see that they are the disciples and successors of the former master.

Behind his back, he boasted about Er Cheng's status on his former teacher's career status, placing his former teacher's status below Er Cheng's!
Saying something like "abandoning what you have learned and following it" makes Mr. Hengqu look like a disciple of the second Cheng!
And that person is the younger brother of Lu Dafang, Lu Dalin!
Afterwards, although Lu Dalin tried his best to explain, his intention was not to belittle Hengqu's knowledge.

But who would believe it?

At least, You Shixiong didn't believe it!

But other people are soft-spoken and powerless, so they can only walk away along the edge.

Over the years, he worked as an official in Xihe Road, Qinfeng Road, Huanqing Road and other places.

Relying on the continuous accumulation of credit and continuous growth of knowledge.

Now, he has finally become a court official!With permission, he can go back to Beijing with Huanqing Roadside Marshal Zhao Xie.

It was on the way back to Beijing that he heard the legend that the young master admired his mentor.

Therefore, You Shixiong directly broke away from the main force, rode alone, ran 150 miles overnight, and finally arrived at the outskirts of Bianjing at noon.

I also met Lu Dafang, whom I hadn't seen for many years, here.

Looking at You Shixiong's appearance, Lu Dafang could only sigh, and thanked him: "Did Uncle Jing still fail to see through the past?"

Some things are really hard for Lu Dafang to say.

After all, Mr. Xi Nian died of illness, most of the people around him, except his younger brother Lu Dalin and a few other fellow disciples, were away.

Lu Dalin was ordered by his husband to write his career statement.

Although the choice of words may not have been discussed with others, but the key words were entrusted by my husband on his deathbed.

However, You Shixiong and others don't believe it!

However, Lu Dalin couldn't explain it either.

Could it be that you are directly telling the world——Mr.’s intention is to integrate Hengqu and Neo-Confucianism to resist Wang Anshi’s new learning?

Can't say that.

Only time will heal everything.

Lu Dafang thought about this, and said to You Shixiong: "Uncle Jing, I know what Uncle Jing thinks..."

"Now the young master is indeed admiring the former teacher..."

"But the young master also admires the two Chenggongs...Mr. Ming Dao passed away a few days ago, and the young master personally ordered him to stop the sutra feast to express his condolences..."

You Shixiong shook his head, he looked at Lu Dafang, and said in a deep voice: "Weizhong, in my life, I will take the revitalization of Hengqu's school and Mr. Guangda's study as my duty!"

"anyway!"

"I have to do it!"

"No matter what the price is!"

It took him more than ten years, alone, to climb from a candidate to a court official.

He can also use more than ten years to climb from court official to Zaizhi.

Then, he can recommend the learning of the first teacher to the emperor in front of the emperor!
Hengqu's school is the study of qi!
It's not Er Cheng's Neo-Confucianism!
He will tell the world himself!
