Chapter 411 Title
The storm caused by Confucianism alone in the literary world is completely beyond Yue Shan's imagination. In just half a month, this book has spread all over the country.

You must know that the current Tang Dynasty has backward transportation and inconvenient information transmission. Even the emperor's decree may not be able to guarantee that it will spread throughout the country within half a month.And his book did just that.

Again, Confucian scholars have been oppressed too badly, and this book has become a life-saving straw in their minds.

With the spread of books, Yue Shan's reputation also spread all over the country, and he was regarded as a model by scholars all over the world. I don't know how many people came to him to exchange knowledge.

However, most people's visits were declined by him, or other people from the academy were invited to entertain them.But the only people he can refuse are ordinary people, and great Confucians cannot refuse.

So these days, he has to receive scholars from all over the world almost every day. To be honest, it is really tiring, but the harvest is also very great.

These are all great Confucians, and everyone is a well-learned person, and it has benefited a lot from exchanging with them.And while communicating with these great Confucians, I also slowly instilled some ideas into them.

For example, my Confucianism has become the final winner of a hundred schools of thought, so I have to show the victor's bearing.Give a small stage to the theories that perform better and are more friendly to Confucianism and can also fill in gaps for Confucianism.

Especially the legalists, the military strategists, the law and the army are the basis for maintaining Confucian rule.

Fortunately, it is Tang Dynasty and not Wensong Dynasty. Scholars at this time do not lack the spirit of advocating martial arts, and because Li Shimin's suppression does not have the idea of ​​supremacy, it is easy to accept Yue Shan's idea.

Seeing that the situation is very good, Yue Shan put forward the concept of "Confucianism is the foundation and the hundred schools are useful" on this basis.

As soon as this concept came out, the literary world became lively again. Some people agreed with it, some opposed it, and some dismissed it.But generally speaking, there are still a majority of people who support it.

Those who hold a disdainful attitude are mainly descendants of Taoism. The founder of my Taoism is Lao Tzu, the ancestor of the emperor.Moreover, the emperor also clearly supported Taoism to suppress Confucianism.

Confucianism was able to come up with Confucianism in the past, but now we may not be able to come up with Taoism.

You Confucians don't want to curry favor with us, but you also want to make me a Taoist vassal, which is really a big joke.

But no matter what the Guan family thinks, Yue Shan will convey his thoughts to the outside world as always, and will throw out a shocking new concept from time to time.

His literary name has also increased little by little, and now he is only short of an opportunity to establish a mountain in the literary world.

And with his exchanges and discussions, a thought has been accepted by more and more people, that is, Confucianism must be innovated.

And at this moment, a news came from Longshou Mountain that Qingshuihou Yueshan was going to retreat and write a book, and declined all visitors.

When the news came out and was confirmed, the literary world was in an uproar.Although everyone admits that Confucianism has lofty aspirations, most people don't believe that Yue Shan, who is only 13 years old, can really write books and talk about it.

The ruthlessness of the scholar Hong Guoguo was revealed, and the people who praised him a moment ago began to turn their heads to ridicule him for being overconfident.

Yue Shan's book has become a joke among the scholars at the banquet, and almost everyone is waiting for the publication of this "masterpiece", hoping to see a bigger joke.

Only a very few people cautiously believe that he may really have extraordinary talent.But these people dare not stand up and speak for him.

However, new news soon came out that Yue Shan did not write the book alone, and he also retreated with the great Confucianist Li Gang and Kong Yingda, a direct descendant of Confucius.

After getting this news, the academic circle lost its voice.Then many people suddenly felt that the steamed buns in their hands were suddenly not fragrant, and there was a strong sour smell.

The great Confucian Li Gang and the bachelor Kong Yingda formed a team to write a book with them. Even a tethered dog could write a grand masterpiece.Why is Yueshan so lucky?

Naturally, Yue Shan didn't know about these things, even if he knew, he wouldn't bother.Instead of getting angry with these people, it's better to think about how to write the new book. Wouldn't it be better to hit them in the face with the new book?

And at this time, he was busy discussing the selection of materials for the new book with Li Gang and Kong Yingda, and he didn't have time to pay attention to those lemon essences.

"The core classics and roots of Confucianism lie in the Analects of Confucius. If we want to reform Confucianism, we must start from it." Although he had already said that he would start with the Analects, Yue Shan still explained in detail the reasons why he started with the Analects:
"However, the annotations that are circulating now are He Shuping's "Jijie" in the Han Dynasty, which captures the old meanings of Han Confucianism, and I am afraid that it is far from the way of Confucius."

"The only interpretation of the Analects in modern times that can stand on the table is the "Yishu" by Liang Huangkan of the former dynasty, but there are too many fallacies. So I want to reinterpret the Analects and make its copy return to the original."

"My purpose is very simple. I don't want to keep my ancestral studies in dust." Kong Yingda's words were brief, but with firmness that cannot be changed.

"Hehe... Well said, it is a blessing for Confucianism that Cuilan has such great ambitions. The reason why I joined is very simple. I want to use my spare energy to see if I can help you find and fill in the gaps. Therefore, this book mainly depends on the two of you. People, I can't help you." Li Gang said with a smile.

"Thank you Li Gong for your love." Yue Shan saluted him solemnly.

How could he not know the reason why Li Gang joined in, it was to escort him, otherwise, a 13-year-old boy interpreting the Analects of Confucius, just the pressure of public opinion would break people down.

Of course, there is also a fire fighting meaning in it.If Yue Shan couldn't write it well, or if the writing wasn't exciting enough, he would definitely help Yue Shan to settle the matter.

As for whether there is so much ink in Yue Shan's stomach, there is no doubt about it.

He has never let go of his studies so far, he has read all the books he can get his hands on, and at the same time compared with what he saw and learned in his previous life.

Coupled with these years of high positions, the horizons have gradually broadened, and I have a deeper understanding of the Analects of Confucius.He dare not say more than the depth of knowledge, only the degree of novelty, there is absolutely no one in the world who can be his opponent.

But what he has to do now is to innovate. As for the depth... for the scholars of this era, innovation means depth.As long as he writes enough new ideas and can justify himself, who dares to say that his books have no depth?

Can you innovate without a deep understanding?

And with Li Gang and Kong Yingda escorting him, he was even more confident.

None of the three of them belonged to mother-in-law or mother-in-law, so things were decided and they would start to act immediately.

Both Yue Shan and Kong Yingda took out their reading notes and used them as materials for writing books.It's just that there are only twenty or thirty books of Yue Shan's reading notes, while Kong Yingda's notes are in a box.

The next step is to cross-read the other party's notes to understand the other party's thoughts, so as to facilitate the next communication.

To be honest, Kong Yingda was very proud at the beginning, just looking at the reading notes, he knew that he had more experience.Although Li Gang didn't underestimate Yue Shan, he didn't think too highly of him either.

However, when the two of them read Yue Shan's notes, they were silent.

It took a while for Li Gang to smile bitterly and said, "Cuilan, you... hey, if you had taken out these notes earlier, the old man, I wouldn't have to do so much."

Kong Yingda also said disappointedly: "I'm ashamed, I'm really ashamed. I thought I had a deep understanding of the Analects of Confucius, but I made a deal with Yuehou, it's like a child's talk."

"You two, I don't deny that I have a unique understanding of the Analects, but you should be able to see that my understanding is still too shallow in some places. I can't connect all the ideas together." Yue Shan said :
"This is also the reason why I asked you to write a book together. I hope to use your profound knowledge to fill in these deficiencies. At the same time, it also helps me see which contents are too shocking and inconvenient to write."

"I said why some parts of these notes are unclear, so that's the case. It seems that you are still in a hurry to publish the book. If you are given ten years... No, you can solve these problems by yourself in five years of study time. Now It's the old man's luck that he let me pick up this bargain for nothing." Li Gang couldn't help nodding as he recalled the contents of the book.

"Don't worry, Yue Hou, I will definitely do my best to help you finish this book." Kong Yingda said solemnly.

As a result, the relationship between the writing trio has changed again. Yue Shan is the main force, Kong Yingda is the assistant, and Li Gang is the last insurance.

Yue Shan first explained his understanding of the Analects to the two of them word by word, and then marked out some deficiencies for Kong Yingda to fill in, and then handed over to Li Gang for final review.

With Yue Shan's complete reading notes, Kong Yingda has also been studying the Analects all his life, and the cooperation between the two is very efficient.Almost one article was completed in two days, and the twenty articles of the Analects of Confucius were completed in forty days by the two of them.

If this speed is spread, it will definitely shock the world, but it will also be treated as a joke.

"Arguing for Justice" is the name Li Gang gave to this book. Originally, he disagreed, thinking that the name of this book should be chosen by Yue Shan.However, under Yue Shan's persuasion, he still chose this name with gratification.

The Yueshan version of "The Analects of Confucius" is 20 characters long, and it is written in a style similar to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

There were also some disputes about the style of writing. Li Gang and Kong Yingda were staunch supporters of classical Chinese, and believed that only in this way could it appear thick.

Yue Shan did not argue too much, and directly explained the process of the birth of classical Chinese to them.The ancients wrote on shell bamboo slips. In order to save space, they had to use the shortest words to record the most complicated things, so classical Chinese came into being.

But now that we have paper, there is no need to save space so much, and the difficult and difficult classical Chinese can't keep up with the times.

Moreover, classical Chinese is too prone to ambiguity. Why are there so many interpretations of ancient books, and everyone says that the public is right and the woman is right, which is the fault of classical Chinese.

In order to avoid these unnecessary troubles, a half-literate and half-white style is still very necessary.So the two stopped opposing.

After that, the three of them spent 20 days revising the book again and again, and finally determined the final version after confirming that there were no major problems.

　After updating more than 30 words a day for [-] consecutive days, I finally achieved this achievement.Everyone, for the sake of my hard work, please give me a few more tickets that I don’t want.
