Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2380 Four Last Words

   Fei Qian was sitting in the hall in the backyard of the General's Mansion, wearing casual clothes.

  The same is true for Pang Tong and Zaozhi.

  Three people are sitting around, with a hot pot in the middle.

  During the first lunar month, it is freezing cold, so eating hot pot is naturally the most pleasant thing.

  『Li Changshi's side...』 Pang Tong touched his chin and said, 『I really don't need to arrange an heir for him? 』

  Zaozhi put down his chopsticks and also looked at Fei Qian.

   Extinct heir.

  In Dahan's current concept, this is a very important thing.

  Ordinary people also have this idea, let alone officials with some authority. Ordinary people are because once they become extinct, they will be "extinct", while big families or officials value the inheritance of family traditions more.

  Li Ru has no heirs.

  After learning about Li Ru these two days, Fei Qian felt rather depressed. On the one hand, it is because of personal emotions, and on the other hand, it is touched by the current situation.

Li Ru is not a giant, but he is not a villain either. He is at most an ordinary person with emotions, desires, and ideals. He is also an ordinary warrior, fighting against what he does not want. The world I don't want to see. He has both good and evil aspects. Even though he is called "Confucianism" in name, he is not actually "Confucianism" and is not recognized by Confucianism.

   Then such a man fell, not even having an heir. Li Ru originally had children, but in that chaotic situation, the general praised by the world slaughtered them all in one go, and accompanied Dong Zhuo to the wilderness, and his head became the head of Jingguan outside Chang'an city. part.

   Later, Li Ru found a son for Han Sui, and asked Han to inherit Han Sui's name in the past, but Li Ru didn't find such a person for himself.

   Fei Qian sighed, shook his head slightly, "No need..."

   This is an answer Li Ru gave himself.

  『"Buried on the **** facing the east, there is no need to have an heir after death"..." Fei Qian turned his head slightly and looked at the west, "This is Wen You's last words...Mediocre, even if there are thousands of descendants, how can you be like a person all the way? If you have great spirit, even if you have no heirs, why not China? 』

  Children are important, but not the most important.

  If too much attention is paid to offspring, then other issues will be ignored.

Fei Qian frowned slightly, and suddenly recalled Li Ru's evaluation of himself when he was in Luoyang. Defeated, pledged for alliance, called deceitful, talked about favors, strictly disciplined, Xu Xingbang, Chen subjugated the country, Si is a great preparation...』

  Pang Tong didn't say anything, but this mention made Fei Qian suddenly have some ideas.

   Li Ru did not establish an heir, in fact, he told Fei Qian a long time ago, and he repeatedly emphasized to Fei Qian, saying that he is an ominous person, not worthy of erecting a monument or an heir...

  Then why do you want to emphasize it again in the last words?

  After all, when dying, what you care about and worry about must be the most important thing. Soldiers will worry about the outcome of the battle, clerks may regret that their articles have not been finished, people who are greedy for money think that there are still a few hiding places to tell their descendants, and people who are sentimental feel that they will live up to the Tathagata and live up to you in the next life...

   This is normal, right?

  But Li Ru’s last words seem to be a bit “abnormal”...

"Wait..." Fei Qian pinched the beard on his chin, "Could Wenyou... this is leaving some questions for someone... "Buried on the **** to the east" is to see what we are going to do ...And "There is no need to make an heir after death" is the first question for us...』

  The question Li Ru left for Fei Qian?

  The first question. ?

  Pang Tongtong was stunned, and then frowned, "What is the last word of Chang Shi?" 』

   Feiqian said slowly, ""Buried on the **** to the east, there is no need to establish an heir after death, the tombstone does not have a title, and there is no need for secret transmission of his knowledge"...just these four sentences..."

  『"Buried on the **** to the east, there is no need to establish an heir after death, the tombstone does not bear a title, and there is no need for secret transmission of his knowledge"..." Pang Tong murmured, "In this way, there is something interesting..."

  Buried on the **** facing the east, most people may understand that it is the heart of the homeland, looking at the big man, but in reality?

   Does Li Ru have such deep feelings for "The Great Han Kingdom"?

   This is remarkable.

Obviously, Li Ru doesn't have much sense of belonging to the entire decaying Han Dynasty. On the surface, "Buried in Dongpo" seems to contain the idea of ​​returning to the roots of fallen leaves, but in fact Li Ru is very important to his own growth. I didn't like my hometown so much.

  Because in Li Ru's hometown, when he was young, it was full of all kinds of disputes, corruption, and methods of deception, as well as painful memories.

So naturally, Li Ru's so-called "buried on the **** to the east", what Li Ru expected to see, or what he expected even more, was not to look at the decaying Han court, the once miserable hometown of Longxi and Longyou, Instead, I want to see a brand new future under Fei Qian's rule, and I want to see those new changes under Fei Qian's leadership, a new big man.

   And this is also very much in line with Li Ru's style...

  Zaozhi thought about it, "In this way, "buried on the **** to the east" has the meaning of anticipation, "there is no need to have an heir after death", it shows a determination, or... oh, I understand..."

  『Oh...I understand too...』 Pang Tong also sighed, 『Written excellent name "Confucianism"... When it comes to the end, but he wants to be named "Confucianism"..."

  Zaozhi was slightly moved, and immediately felt a little emotional.

   Fei Qian stroked his beard, silent. He just thought of this possibility for a moment, but then Pang Tong and Zaozhi began to follow Fei Qian's train of thought to "solve" Li Ru's puzzle, while Fei Qian became a little confused. I don't know whether I should say that I didn't understand, or that I "understood". After thinking for a long time, silence is golden, just listening to the discussion between Pang Tong and Zaozhi.

"This "untitled" refers to the word "Confucianism"..." Zaozhi said, "The good name of "Confucianism" has a long history. Or "not to act"? 』

  Pang Tong squeezed the flesh on his chin, "It makes sense...that's probably the case..."

  『…』 Fei Qian nodded slowly.

   Li Ru’s name was obviously not given to him by his father’s generation. Although some people in the Han Dynasty would change their name at some point, most people’s names were whatever their father’s generation gave them.

  Li Ru is not considered a Confucian family, and even if Li Ru’s ancestors are traced, the knowledge inherited by Li Ru is not Confucian, or it is not the "orthodox" Confucianism in the court hall of the Han Dynasty. Li Confucianism is more inclined to the inheritance of the Legalists, or the Strategists, so a Legalist, or the successor of the Strategists, the name is the word "Confucianism"...

  Confucianism is always very mysterious. For example, it is often unclear who is the real Confucianism. When someone discovers a bad Confucian student, someone who claims to be a Confucian immediately jumps out and says that guy is not a Confucian, but at most is a traitor who has sneaked into Confucianism. Then someone discovers a good person who is not Confucian, and immediately someone who claims to be Confucian will jump out and say, that is Confucianism, he has studied Confucian scriptures a long time ago, no matter how bad he is, he has also comprehended the spirit of Confucianism, so why is he not Confucianism? people?

   "No title" refers to this?

"Xu Shuyou said, "Confucianism, softness, sorcerer's name. Follow people, you need voice." Therefore, Chang Shi's meaning of "not having a title", I am afraid that we need to start from here..." Pang Tong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Xu Wei Chang also It is highly respected by Manan County, and Manan County is "the festival of non-confucianists"... 噫...』

  Zaozhi clapped his hands, "It must be so!" 』

  『…』 Fei Qian found that he could only smile, and then fell silent.

   But he did not expect that Pang Tong turned his head and said to Fei Qian: "In this way, it is a perfect strategy for my lord to ask Liu Gongsi to go to Qinglong Temple to debate the theory of "pitting Confucianism"!" 』

  『Hmm…』 Fei Qian kept smiling.

  But when Pang Tong said this, Fei Qian suddenly connected these two things.

Fei Qian originally asked Liu Zhen to continue to go to Qinglong Temple, and the original meaning was to "fish". Therefore, Liu Zhen was asked to change his so-called criticism position and turn it around to maintain the correctness of the so-called "burning books and burying Confucianism". Liu Zhen tried his best to hook up as many fish as possible, but now it seems that these two things are actually...

   It seems, it seems, they can really be hooked together!

  Fei Qian blinked, and smiled slightly, "A chivalrous man, with a knife in his ribs, a Confucian, and a coffin to make a conclusion, they also form an interesting contrast..."

  『The final conclusion? ! ”Pang Tong was stunned, then burst out laughing, “Wonderful! Terrific! Hahaha…"

  Zaozhi also shook his head with a smile, and said, "If this remark comes out, no one in the world would dare to call himself a "Confucian"!" 』

  The characters created in ancient times were really not written by anyone...

   Isn't this "Xia" just a double-edged sword?

   As for the word "Confucianism"...

   Fei Qian pinched his beard, and from the word "Confucianism", he thought of another word, "Lang".

The original meaning of   lang is the corridor of the corridor, and the original meaning is the long eaves, which was later extended to the corridor under the long eaves in front of the house. Later, it was further extended to become a doorman waiting for the master to call on the front porch.

  As Lang, the status of these doormen is very special. They are not slaves and have no personal attachment. But they are willing to sell their loyalty in exchange for the favor of their masters and make their material life better.

  In Dahan, there are a very large number of Lang Guan, just like Fei Qian himself, who was also a Lang Guan.

   And this "Lang Guan" has more or less the shadow of the disciples of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period.

  There are a lot of big men and officials. If you want to stand out among the officials, due to the fierce competition, those who can actually climb up often have three characteristics at the same time: rich, talented, and talented.

   What should I do if I don’t have one?

  Taking advantage of the situation...

  In the words of later generations, it would be "crack".

   Lowered his head, abandoned his face, and rubbed hard.

   Whatever is hot, just rub it.

  Looking at the various "editors" of later generations, one can know what these Langguans of the great Han Dynasty and the Confucian scholars who became Langguans were doing.

  Growing fame, from a Confucian scholar to a Langguan, and from a Langguan to a Consul after meeting the master.

   This is the only way for Confucian scholars like a big man to go.

  As for the high-level yamen, they are within the system, so naturally there is no need to take this extra step. Most of the ordinary Confucian scholars want to get rid of a real lack from the ordinary Langguan, basically they have to go through such a process.

This was the way the Han people used to be, so we can’t blame these Confucian scholars. People generally have to eat. Sometimes it’s inevitable to lower your head to eat, but you can’t just keep lowering your head like this. In the end, not only do you get used to it, Proud to bow your head and wag your tail!

   Even forced other people to bow their heads and wag their tails like them!

   It is rumored that there are seventy-two disciples of Confucius' three thousand sages, and there are ten philosophers. Good people often divide them into categories. Generally speaking, Confucius' knowledge can be regarded as preparations around assisting those in power to govern the country, so in today's words, Confucius' Confucianism is actually the knowledge of consultants, consultants, and think tanks.

  It is almost the same as the Legalists, Famous Schools, Strategists, etc. It does not say that Confucianism is noble and others are low. In this sense, they all serve the upper political institutions.

  In the pre-Qin period, especially the Warring States period, the actual definition of Confucianism should be relatively broad. This can explain why many people competed for the title of authentic Confucianism at that time. For example, Xunzi said that he was the real Confucian, and trampled all the "little Confucians" including Mencius into rubbish.

   Interestingly, most of Xunzi's own training are legalist backbones. What Xunzi said was that what the Legalists teach is also the Legalists, but at the same time he does not mean that he himself is Confucianism...

  This should reflect from one aspect that the concept of "Confucianism" was relatively broad during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

   But in the Han Dynasty, the scope of "Confucianism" narrowed a lot.

  Confucianism in the Han Dynasty combined the theories of the Yin-Yang School, with Confucius and Mencius as the orthodox and Dong Zhongshu as the representative, forming Han Confucianism,

   This relatively small "Confucianism" became the "Confucianism" handed down to later generations.

  This is the "Secret Biography" of Confucianism.

  Mohists, Yang Zhu's studies, military strategists, famous scholars, etc. are schools independent of the so-called "Confucianism".

  Although Mozi also talks about political governance, his starting point is not to serve those in power, but to be more inclined to ordinary people.

  Yang Zhu put his personal interests first, and further separated himself from those in power, and even from the political management associated with it.

  Although the military strategist is closely connected with those in power, he is closer to the division of traditional royal authority.

  Famous scholars are relatively independent and have their own philosophy of discourse system, which tends to be "the art of language".

   There is also the Yin-Yang School, which was eaten by Confucianism in the Han Dynasty. After drawing on the ancient witchcraft system, it has constructed a simple natural cognitive structure and a part of the scientific foundation, which has a strong interdisciplinary color...

  Originally, on the land of Huaxia, colorful flowers could bloom and various forests could grow.

  But then they were all wiped out, leaving only eucalyptus.

   Eucalyptus is not inherently bad, because of the needs of human beings, so there is "fast-growing eucalyptus". In order to get more pulp and protect the interests of their own forestry, the forestry and paper industries are united to promote the benefits of eucalyptus trees, and to publicize that eucalyptus forests will feed back the water and soil fertility after they grow to a certain period...

  Is there any feedback, and indeed there will be.

But in fact, in order to obtain more wood, pulp, and more benefits, these eucalyptus trees will never "feed back" the day, only the pockets of the forestry and paper industry capitalists have bulged, and the rest is for "feedback" Fast-growing is a barren land with heavy chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and a lot of groundwater has been pumped out.

  These "Confucians" who are quick-born for profit and focus on money basically don't have any "feedback". Most of the time they even use various means to cover up and deceive.

These Confucian scholars, for the sake of profit, cut themselves off, and then further cut off the original, supposed ability to think and govern in accordance with social reality, and instead acted entirely in accordance with the "moral standards" advocated by those in power. …

   Not only that, but also some of the systems, laws, are limited to the secret law system with strong foolishness!

  The so-called Spring and Autumn Judgment is essentially breaking through, destroying, and eliminating statutory laws.

   Or called "do whatever you want".

That is to say, the public Confucian scriptures and the dignified discourses presented are neither wrong nor wrong. From this aspect, "Confucianism" is the same as other tree species. But because of the lure of interests, the so-called "secret knowledge" that is hidden below and covered by a fig leaf is what Li Ru wants to tell Fei Qian...

   "You don't need to pass on your knowledge"!

  『If you want to break the secret, you can use boiling water to raise the soup, but it won’t help...』 Fei Qian looked at Pang Tong, then at Zaozhi, and said with a smile, "There is only one way..."

"name! 』

  『Fame! 』

  Pang Tong and Zaoyi said almost in unison, and then together with Fei Qian, all three of them laughed.

  Obviously, those "little Confucians" of later generations, due to their own dependence, always serve the vested interest groups that have the most resources in an exploitative society, and they themselves have a strong parasitic nature. In order to meet the needs of the parasite, it is especially necessary to hype the reputation of the confidant and the dead daughter as the pleasing, so as to attract the host.

Just like at present, among the big Han people, a social landscape that is rich in "celebrities" has formed, batches of famous people are extremely high, and celebrities with higher morality emerge in endlessly. The fish in my arms, why have five or six children who have kept filial piety for their parents for twenty years...

   Successful celebrities are great Confucians, and those who fail are not Confucian children.

  It started from this time.

   This is typical of these parasitic properties. They use packaging and marketing methods to disguise themselves as a model respected by the society, so as to defraud the support of the whole society.

  The crux of the problem is that they don't actually do things, they're just acting.

  Through acting, you gain a higher reputation, through these fame you get more interpersonal relationships, and then use your interpersonal relationships to gain your own wealth. And out of the need for common deception and gang crimes, they must squeeze other media outlets to prevent themselves from being exposed and their personal settings collapsed...

  It was also the Han Dynasty. In the Western Han Dynasty, they could still maintain a clear advantage in foreign countries. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was obvious that they were starting to rely on their old capital. It was inseparable from the environment of this kind of gang crime.

The current gentry and Confucian scholars are actually one body with two sides, just like various vests in the Internet in later generations. It seems that there are good and bad, positive and negative, but in reality, it is possible to have both. It's a mask. The gentry mastered most of the scriptures, and then used these scriptures to cultivate a new generation of parasites. These parasites used their reputation to package themselves, making themselves gleaming like good things, and tempting the next host.

  If there are some mutated bugs in the nest, it will be just a flash in the pan, and they will be counterattacked in the end...

  So targeting one or two bugs is just tearing apart the outer spider webs and clearing the spores on the creep. If you really want to solve some problems, you have to start from the brood.

  『Hoo…』

   Fei Qian let out a long sigh.

  Li Ru was still thinking about these things until his death.

   The road is long.

  Li Ru was in the distance, waiting quietly, watching with a smile.

  『Then let’s do it…』

  『The fifteenth day of the first lunar month? 』

  『Yes, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, light the sky lanterns! 』

   There is no change today, wash up and go to bed early!

The holiday is over…

   It seems that nothing has been done...

   Lan Shou.
