Saint of the Confucian way

"Zhang Zongshi?" Fang Yun immediately remembered that during his private visit, he met a boy named Zhang Zongshi in a restaurant. He was very insightful and expected to make some achievements in the future.

"Hand over his papers," Fang Yun said.

"The lower official already has the official seal, so I'll pass the book to you." Dong Wencong said, holding the official seal and passing the book to Fang Yun.

Fang Yun took out his official seal and carefully examined Zhang Zongshi's documents.

At the beginning of the document, Zhang Zongshi first listed the books he had read during his childhood, most of which were the holy classics of the human race and the works of some famous people.

Subsequently, Zhang Zongshi singled out some books and pointed out that these books were successively listed as selected books by the State Academy of literature after Xiangzhou was forcibly seized by the Qing state. In normal college teaching, college students should not only teach the compulsory books formulated by the government, but also occasionally teach some selected books to increase students' horizons.

Within a state, the designated required books need to be reviewed by the holy college, while the selected books do not need to be reviewed, which is decided by the State Academy of Arts.

Since decades ago, the selected books of all academies in Xiangzhou have become newly compiled books.

Zhang Zongshi wrote in his article that the most terrible thing is not that these so-called selected reading books were born decades ago, but that Xiangzhou has clearly separated from Qingguo, and these books are still used to teach students in academies.

Zhang Zongshi takes the "records of celebrities" of Xiangzhou academy as an example. In the "records of celebrities" of normal countries, most of them record the deeds of their excellent scholars or ancients, and occasionally select celebrities of other countries recognized in the history of the human race to educate students with their deeds.

The Xiangzhou version of the Ming Shi Lu is very different, because the deeds of Jingguo people account for only 40% of the current Xiangzhou Ming Shi Lu, and most of them are semi saints and celebrities and founding heroes before the establishment of Jingguo. There are few celebrities in the past 200 years after the founding of the people's Republic of China, even Fang Yun and Li Wenying, who must be included in the Ming Shi Lu, On the contrary, Zuo XiangLiu mountain was recorded in the records of celebrities with a very positive image.

Forty percent of the celebrities in the records of celebrities are from Jingguo, but except for semi saints, other people's deeds will be more or less added with events that seem neutral but actually can be regarded as stigmatization, which will damage the image of those celebrities.

The deeds of the other six adults in Xiangzhou's famous men's records are quite the opposite. They are not only perfect and tall, but also have no defects. What is most difficult for Zhang Zongshi to understand is that in the deeds of famous men in other countries, people in Jingguo must be extremely unbearable.

Zhang Zongshi also took some enlightenment books such as the book of persuasion and world affairs as examples. These books are surprisingly consistent in some aspects. All the people in Qingguo are positive images, while the people in Jingguo don't have a good person. Even the famous scholars in the ten countries will deliberately add some stigma to the books.

Zhang Zongshi believes that if these books are unofficial history miscellaneous books, it is natural to record the stigma of famous scholars in Jingguo. However, this is a Book of enlightenment and wisdom for educating Mongolian children. In these books, all Qingguo people are flawless good people. Half of Jingguo people are bad and the other half have done bad things, which makes people have to doubt the intentions of book compilers and promoters.

Zhang Zongshi asked Dong Wencong to investigate the matter thoroughly, otherwise in the long run, the future scholars in Xiangzhou will admire the people of other countries and despise the people of Jingguo.

What surprised Fang Yun most was that Zhang Zongshi clearly had deep feelings for the target state and was trying to revitalize Xiangzhou, but finally said some seemingly contradictory words.

Zhang Zongshi wrote that the people of Xiangzhou, like all the people in the world, are smart but not smart, because they know limited things. Even if they have a normal mind, they often make wrong judgments. They are either deceived by the government, deceived by people opposed to the government, or deceived by other people. In other words, it is not the ignorance of the people, but there are smarter people who can affect the people's cognition of everything, so that they can make wrong judgments without knowing it. Over time, they will take mistakes as truth.

After that, Zhang Zongshi cited the simplest example. Anyone with a normal mind knows that the monarch, officials and aristocratic family of Qingguo are not selfless saints. They must understand the truth that people of different races must have different hearts. However, some people in Xiangzhou foolishly think that as long as they join Qingguo, they will get the same privileges as those of imperial families, officials and aristocratic families. In fact, The status of Xiangzhou people in Qingguo is not as good as the people at the bottom of Qingguo.

Fang Yun put down his official seal, looked at Dong Wencong and said, "it takes ten years to cultivate trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. It is the most important thing to educate students in a state. It is a dereliction of duty that I failed to deal with this matter at the first time. Zhang Zongshi is a good and insightful son. What's more, he knows who is a friend and who is an enemy. Have you investigated what he reported?"

Dong Wencong immediately said, "the lower official has joined hands with governor Fang to mobilize personnel to secretly investigate the matter. There are preliminary results. I will send a letter to you now."

Dong Wencong said and sent the book to Fang Yun again.

Fang Yun took the official and read it carefully. After reading it, Fang Yun sighed.

There is good news and bad news in the book.

Before he came to Xiangzhou, Fang Yun suspected that the State Academy of culture, which was responsible for the education of Xiangzhou, had long been infiltrated by Qing Guo's spies. The good news is that Qing Guo did not arrange spies in the State Academy of culture. The bad news is that some Xiangzhou scholars have experienced the most incompetent times of Xiangzhou and Jingguo, and their faith has completely collapsed. For example, they were interrupted by Qing Guo's back and legs, knelt down and never stood up again, It is like a dragon in front of Jingguo people and a slave in front of Qingguo people.

Even today, when Jingguo is booming, the word "slave" is deeply branded in their minds.

These scholars in Xiangzhou could have achieved higher achievements, but in a special era, they were dragged down by the government, abandoned by Jingguo, suppressed by Qingguo, and finally sprinkled their anger on Jingguo without mentioning the disaster of Qingguo.

They are not spies, but like loyal dogs, they cooperate with the people of Qingguo to contain or even destroy Jingguo.

Their purpose is the same as that of Qingguo, so that Jingguo will always be a backward country and be imprisoned in a cage by powerful countries such as Qingguo. If Jingguo wants to struggle out of the cage and make progress and self-improvement, they will try their best to obstruct it.

One of their goals is to destroy the self-confidence of Jingguo people.

They even believe that Jingguo people are the worst citizens of the ten countries. Only when they are enslaved by Qingguo and become Qingguo people can they really change.

Fang Yun shook his head gently. Those people didn't understand that the greatness of a real great man lies not in his high spirit when he stood at the peak of the world, but in his attitude, words and deeds at the lowest point of life; The greatness of a great nation lies not in suppressing the world at its peak, but in how to rise after being knocked down.

These people are more deeply affected by the disaster than slaughtering millions of Xiangzhou people.
