Saint of the Confucian way

Until noon, Fang Yun didn't write.

The theme requirements of the poems are very common. In addition to the almost compulsory "frontier fortress", there are four categories of "rural scenery", "diligent study" and "farewell", and six rhymes are stipulated at the same time.

After lunch, Fang Yuncai took out a piece of white paper and wrote and drew on it. Finally, he decided to write a song about rural scenery and wrote "remembering the countryside" with Bao Dao as the rhyme.

"The river with grass..."

After writing Yi Xiang, Fang Yun put the poems in place, turned them one by one in the thick test paper, and took out the title of scriptures after five pages.

Fang Yun took a closer look at the words "Weimin stop", a smile appeared on his face, and then thought in his heart.

If we take this literally, it means the place where the people live. From the book of Songs - Xuanniao, the whole sentence is "the country is thousands of miles away, the Uyghur people stop, and the world starts". It means that the Shang Dynasty had a vast territory and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

These four words remind Fang Yun of the ancient Chinese allusions.

During the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Yongzheng and Emperor Qianlong, in order to protect the imperial power, greatly promoted the literary prison. If they made a slight allusion to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, they copied their families and beheaded them. There were nearly 200 major cases, 130 of which occurred during the reign of Emperor Qianlong alone. In these words, less than 10% of the people in prison are really rebellious, and 90% are unjust cases.

During the reign of Yongzheng, Wang Jingqi wrote that the emperors with "Zheng" had no good end. He cursed Yongzheng and Kangxi, colluded with Nian gengyao, and was executed.

If Wang Jingqi hated Kangxi and Yongzheng for opposing the Qing Dynasty, he was a righteous man, but Wang Jingqi was purely venting his personal anger, even in the enlightened later generations, it was slander. However, the later "case of defending the people" is an unjust case.

A few years after Wang Jingqi's death, the Jingyi test questions issued by the investigation court of Jiangxi learning and politics contained "Zheng" and "Zhi". He violated Yongzheng's taboo, was strictly investigated, and then was interrogated and beheaded by the scribe.

In order to ridicule Yongzheng, later generations took the "Weimin stop" in the book of songs as the title of Scripture, because the word "Yongzheng" turned around, that is, "Weimin" and "stop".

Fang Yun thought of the cruel literary prison of the Qing Dynasty and the Shengyuan continent today. The two times were two extremes. Shengyuan mainland was originally open-minded, but now many words are not words, but scolds. The speaker aims to hurt others, and some people secretly slander in series.

Fang Yun knew that the people of Qingguo and Wuguo had been spreading rumors about themselves, but he didn't understand why those people spread rumors until he heard Li Wenying say a word.

"The grass looks at the beautiful wood, but it is not deep-rooted. It hates it for taking the light of the sun and the moon. The insects and mice look at the elephant, but they don't see the four seasons running around. They think it's huge for them to swallow dirt."

Fang Yun suddenly smiled and remembered that there was a "dark cloud culture meeting" in Qingguo, which was intended to "pollute Fang Yun". If he hadn't heard Zong Wude say and even seen their slander words, he wouldn't believe that there were such despicable people in the world.

Fang Yun shook his head gently, left all his thoughts behind and concentrated on solving the problem.

"The apparent meaning of maintaining the people is where the people live, and the internal meaning is that the people live and work in peace and contentment. However, the first and second sentences of the original book of songs involve the territory of the Shang Dynasty. If this sutra is to be superior, we must understand the real intention of the title semi saint. This step alone is enough to distinguish the scholars from the others."

"If you take it down, the people will live in peace; if you take it in, the Terran territory will be forever fixed and will not be invaded by demons and barbarians; if you take it up, the Terran territory will be within the reach of people! First solve its meaning and then solve its problem!"

There are six ways to solve problems, namely, overt breaking, covert breaking, forward breaking, reverse breaking, positive breaking and reverse breaking. It can also be divided into broken meaning, broken sentence or broken word.

Fang Yun thought about it and decided to break his meaning and slowly write down his words on the draft.

"The destiny lies in man, but the sky is endless!"

In this sentence, people replace the people and heaven replace the end, which is a typical dark break, and the "endless" includes the boundaries of the first and second sentences of "defending the people", but it does not deviate from the topic, because the center of the problem is "destiny lies in people".

Destiny lies in man, which means that man is the best living creature in heaven and earth, so people should naturally live and work in peace and contentment, and heaven and earth are endless, so man can live in peace anywhere.

The great Confucian can sense misfortunes and blessings, and his sincere heart can be known before. After writing this sentence, Fang Yun only feels that he is determined in his heart, as if he somehow agrees with a holy Tao. The high unity of mind, courage and the palace of literature. At this moment, his whole body strength is mobilized, his talent burns rapidly, and the strength of courage constantly fluctuates in the palace of literature.

Fang Yun saw that there were countless golden characters flying in his literary palace, forming a Holy Scripture in an instant, disappearing in an instant, and then forming a new Holy Scripture, but in the blink of an eye, all the Holy Scriptures flashed in the literary palace.

Those books that have been read turn into invisible power, which makes Fang Yun's mind become extremely powerful at this moment.

After the problem is solved, the problem is answered.

Fang Yun continued to write questions and further explained his problem.

"Those who have the destiny of heaven, discuss the order with wisdom, and people are above it..."

Fang Yun first explained why people have destiny, and then discussed in depth how to live and work in peace and contentment.

Fang Yunxian, taking himself as an example, depended on Yang Yuhuan for his life. He was poor and at ease, but Liu Zicheng appeared and his residence was uneasy. However, when he went out of Ji county and went to Dayuan mansion to face Liu Zicheng, his residence was stable.

Then, Fang Yun took the demon world under Confucius as an example, and further elaborated his core argument of Scripture and righteousness. He believed that since the destiny of the human race is in the body, it should open up the frontier and expand the land, protect the "exhausted residence" with "endless days", and use the most thorough way to make the human race live and work in peace and contentment.

Then he quoted Confucius' famous saying "people have no foresight, they must have immediate worries" to unify "living and working in peace and contentment" with "endless days".

This is the meaning of Scripture. We focus on the overall situation. That's all. If you write a game theory, Fang Yun must write down in detail how the Terran can send excellent talents to conquer the ancient land while protecting the Shengyuan continent.

After finishing the draft smoothly, Fang Yun found that he was sweating and his clothes were soaked. All the sweat was slowly drained away by the power of Longzhu, but the drainage speed of Longzhu was very slow, and the sweat was as heavy as mercury.

Fang Yun looked down at his clothes and said that this is the legendary heart. Sweat turns into mercury. Every drop of sweat contains the income from reading, which is the power of spirit and wisdom.

Fang dipped his pen in ink and was about to revise the manuscript. However, he found that he was weak and surprised. When he entered the Wen palace, he found that his talent and courage were almost exhausted.

Fang Yun is very happy. If the article can consume his talent and courage, it is a typical "near holy way". Ordinary articles must not consume half of people's strength.

"Fortunately, I have to be talented five times and have the courage to replace my talent. If ordinary scholars finish writing such scriptures, they will be seriously ill for at least three days, but after three days, they will be full of talent and stronger. If children write such articles, they will lie down for at least half a year. Scholars before Confucius were weak and sick, and they were joked that they had no strength to bind chickens, because they spent their whole body on reading and writing books In fact, there is no talent to make up for it. "

Fang Yun no longer read the draft, but drank a lot of water, ate some dry food and went to bed.

Writing in the imperial examination is completely different from usual practice, because the imperial examination is closely related to the holy way.

Usually practice is just to learn the holy way, and the imperial examination is to touch the holy way!

The imperial examination papers are the product of the intersection of thought and Taoism.

It's OK to ask for holy words or poems, but every word of Scripture and policy theory costs more energy. This time, it costs talent and courage. Fang Yun slept until the poem "remembering the hometown" was completed in the afternoon. In cheap military time, it was about 3 p.m. and he thought for another quarter of an hour. This "Weimin stop" is only more than 1000 words. It is reasonable to write it at 5:30 p.m. at most. But in my memory, when I finished writing the Scriptures, it was already dark, at least 7:30 p.m.

"Where was the middle hour?"

Fang Yun recalled carefully and suddenly realized that after he finished writing and solving the problem, all the holy classics he had read appeared in the literary palace. He felt that it was only a moment, but actually a whole hour passed.

"It's wonderful. Confucius once worked hard to study and unconsciously found himself old. He used to think it was just a metaphor, but now he understands that Confucius was probably immersed in the holy way, and even time may change."

Fang Yun shook his head again. He always felt that Confucius could not do that before canonization.

Fang Yun was careless. He repeatedly silently read the Sutra of "Weimin stop" and deliberated word by word. He found that there was no change. A faint smile appeared on his face and vaguely understood the reason of the past hour at that moment.

"The level of this sutra should be similar to that of the" rites of indecent rites "tried by scholars. However, the" rites of indecent rites "contains the truth that should not be in this era, so it causes a vision. The truth in the" Weimin stop "has appeared in the holy classics, so it is not as valuable as the" rites of indecent rites ", so it does not cause a vision."

Fang Yun was gratified. After writing this article, his level of Scripture went further, indicating that his efforts these days were not in vain. In particular, the honing of the holy ruins could not have such a deep understanding without the communication with the ten countries and the experience of the holy ruins and the demon clan.

Fang Yun was in a good mood. Instead of directly looking at the policy questions behind him, he revised his poetry.

Just as he was changing, he saw several officers passing by in a hurry. Not long after, the officers ran out with a comatose scholar.

There are sighs everywhere in the examination room.

Fang Yun is not surprised. When the scholar tried, almost more than a dozen people appeared. Only one day after the test, almost seven or eight people had an accident.

The subsequent Jinshi test can be called in hot water, because the Jinshi test is not only to test words, but also to test line. It is very complex. It doesn't end after answering the test paper.

The imperial examination is a collision between thought and the holy way. If you are careless, your mind may be disturbed.

With two days left, Fang Yun decided to spend the morning revising poems and the last day and a half writing game theory.

The morning passed quickly, and Fang Yun saw more than 20 young scholars take the initiative to leave.
