Saint of the Confucian way

Fang Yun said, "if the Confucius did this for me, would they hate the Xun family?"

"Now that we Kong family have done it, we don't care about Xun's reaction!" Kong De said proudly.

Fang Yun nodded and said, "I'm not ashamed of being the first family. Since you say so, I'm relieved. Now I'm afraid the Xun family will become angry."

"Since we Kong family have taken action, the Xun family will certainly lose face. The noble Yasheng aristocratic family will not swallow their anger, and it is impossible to deal with us. The Kong family will certainly target you, but the advantage is that they will be more careful. However, the Kong family gives you an empty building ship as a reward for your stay in the holy ruins. This time, you can't protect you everywhere. The reason why the master said that he sent you to 'Yuhai city' Instead of going to 'Xizhou', it is to save face for the Xun family. "

Fang Yun said, "I understand. After all, the Kong family wants a bowl of water. The Xun family just blocks me, not kills me. Even the saints can't punish the Xun family. However, even if the noble Yasheng family doesn't use shady means, it's very difficult to get around. After all, it has reached a certain level of power and can use too much human and material resources. For example, it's a one word thing to block me from entering the holy courtyard this time."

"However, the boss of the Xun family doesn't support you and is hostile to you. He... How to say, he is deeply influenced by Xunzi. Xunzi has four ways, 'separation between heaven and man', 'deception', 'fame makes the Group' and 'emptiness and tranquility'. It is difficult for the descendants of the Xun family to learn all four methods, and the fourth method is even more difficult to learn, so most of them choose only one of the first three. The boss of the Xun family specializes in 'deception' and has great attainments Very deep, even if you say that "nature is good" conflicts with what he has learned, he is still not hostile to you. "

Fangyun Road: "I understand that the four words' changing nature to fake 'mean that people should change their nature and improve their realm through human efforts. This leads to a problem, that is, Xunzi believes that nature is evil, but it can be changed through human efforts. If Mr. Xun Da is really proficient in' changing nature to fake ', he will not care too much about whether I think nature is good or evil, but pay more attention to it Have I improved through my own efforts? "

"Obviously, your step-by-step improvement is fully in line with the 'false nature', so Mr. Xun Da even praised your poems in private." Konde said.

Fang Yun asked, "did Mr. Xun Da fix the 'name division Group'?"

"Fame makes the group too complicated. It says that people are noble and humble, have division of labor, and have intimacy and estrangement, but this is only the foundation. What is more important is the way of governing the country, the national system, and the embodiment of Xunzi's rites. Xunzi's emphasis on Rites was laid by the 'fame makes the Group'. Mr. Xunda didn't practice this way, but the third and fourth of the Xunzi family all practice this way, and the second one is the 'separation between heaven and man'."

Fang Yun said: "it's a pity that I can't see the original of Xunzi. I am very interested in emptiness and stillness, which is the strongest way of Xunzi in his later years. This emptiness and stillness can make people maintain a modest and single-minded attitude, so as to see the most essential and real everything. Xunzi was able to be a saint of Asia at that time. I think the main reason is that he understood emptiness and stillness at that time."

"Yes. There are semi holy words. The descendants of Xunzi only cultivate the first three ways instead of 'emptiness and quietness', which will inevitably lead to a fork in the road. Xun Ye is that he only knows the noble and humble but does not know the emptiness. Xunzi's first three ways are controversial, but the emptiness and quietness are not questioned. In particular, the persuasion chapter is a preliminary embodiment of emptiness and quietness. Every word is abashed and recited with fragrance."

The words "perseverance" and "green out of blue" involuntarily appeared in Fang Yun's mind, all of which originated from persuasion.

"Unfortunately, Xun Shengtai is too... Direct." Confucius said.

Fang Yun said with a smile, "it's more than direct. He doesn't mention that Mozi's thought is a beast. In his own book, he said that Mencius's original good nature is wrong, which led to the dispute between good nature and evil nature for nearly a thousand years. Until the holy meteor, Xun Sheng didn't give up approving the holy. Unfortunately, although he took the fruit of prolonging his life, he was injured when he traveled abroad and died early."

"I think you don't like 'fame makes the Group'?"

Fang Yun was silent for a moment and said, "I agree that there are differences between relatives and strangers, and that people have a division of labor. As for others, it's inconvenient to say more."

With a smile, Fang Yun never mentioned high and low, which is enough to explain everything.

"What about good and evil?"

"I don't think it's necessary to argue about it. Anyway, whether it's good or evil by nature, since Mencius and Xunzi all think that we can improve the day after tomorrow, we should pay attention to how to improve it. There's no need to fight for what is the original." Fang Yun said.

Kongde nodded his argument and said, "the way of emptiness and quietness is not in the Xun family. Before Xun Sheng died, he put the relevant classics in the holy yard. All Xun family disciples can read them, but non Xun family disciples must have enough military skills to read them. Maybe you can have a look when you come to the imperial forest."

"Well, I remember," Fang Yun said.

"Keep the law and look here all the time. It seems that you have something to do with you. Go," said Conde.

Fang Yun nodded and walked to Han ShouLv.

"Fang Yun," Kong De Lun shouted behind him.

Fang Yun turned back and looked at Kong De Lun with firm eyes.

"My talent is not as good as you, and I will certainly not be as good as you in the future, but after all, I have been in the Kong family for many years. Sometimes, you should dare to write and shine like today, even if the other party is a sage."

Fang Yun was stunned and realized what Kong De's theory meant. He solemnly nodded his head, smiled and turned to Han Shoulu.

Kong De Lun looked at Fang Yun's back and smiled faintly.

Han ShouLv welcomed him and said happily, "Uncle San is coming to escort you back to Yuhai city."

Fang Yun immediately said, "I'll thank him again when he comes."

"Don't worry, uncle San is very stubborn. You are a great scholar and you try and investigate cases in person. Most of our Legalists focus on legislation and trial. He is good and likes to investigate cases best. The head of the family was afraid of a demon attack on the way, so he asked him to escort. I'm relieved. His strength is a little inferior to that of Jianmei Gong, but his experience is higher than that of Jianmei Gong. We can rest assured with him."

At this time, Hua Yuqing interrupted, "my fourth uncle is coming. A medical friend of Zhang Sheng's family comes with my fourth uncle."

"Fang Yun, do you remember the old man who copied Sun Tzu's art of war and Sun Bin's art of war for you at the Mid Autumn Festival literary meeting? That's my third uncle. He's going to Yuhai City, too. He'll be there with us right away." sun naiyong's word "Yuhai" has a strong biting voice. People on one side laughed and said that he went to Yuhai, but it's actually for Fang Yun to Xizhou.

"The Meng family will come, too."

Not long ago, Fang Yun's friends said that some people wanted to go to Yuhai city together, some were their relatives, and some were celebrities who had not deep relationships.

Fang Yun stood outside the east gate and waited. A quarter of an hour later, a full number of seven university students, 12 Hanlin and more than 20 Jinshi arrived one after another.

Those great scholars and Hanlin came to escort him. There was no problem at all, but the more than 20 scholars made Fang Yun cry and laugh. It was obvious that they came to see the excitement. However, these people seemed to be dissatisfied with the Xun family, and Fang Yun didn't let them leave.

When the time came, a pale gold holy page appeared in the hands of a great scholar of the Confucius family.
