The Emperor of Red Mansions: Many Children, Many Blessings, Opening Draft

That was because they were not only expelled, but also severely reprimanded their fathers and grandfathers after the emperor heard about it.

And gave them a warning.

And those who were reprimanded, after returning home, naturally had to beat up these troublesome playboys.

Not to mention that these playboys entered Xiaoshengxianzhuang with the blessing of their fathers or grandfathers.

Let’s just say that Xiaoshengxianzhuang was the focus of the emperor’s attention, and its value was no lower than entering the Imperial College or even passing the imperial examination.

On the contrary, the value of graduating from Xiaoshengxianzhuang was higher than that of the Imperial College and the imperial examination.

So how could their fathers and grandfathers not be angry when these playboys were expelled.

What’s worse, some of them were so angry that they were bedridden.

But why didn't these powerful officials get angry at Yan Lu who expelled their children, and didn't they make trouble for Yan Lu.

Just kidding, Yan Lu, like Yue Fei, Xin Qiji, and the national teacher, was suddenly entrusted with important tasks by the emperor.

They didn't know how to offend such a person.

Let's say that Xiaoshengxianzhuang and Yan Lu were in the limelight. They would be stupid to offend Yan Lu at this critical juncture.

However, after the Confucian classics taught by Yan Lu conflicted with the students.

These people finally found a reason to impeach and discipline Yan Lu.

The reason for their impeachment of Yan Lu was also very simple, that is, arbitrarily tampering with and misinterpreting the content of the articles of the sages' books.

In response to this, Zhang Liang also started a debate with the ministers who impeached Yan Lu in the court.

In the debate, Zhang Liang was calm and did not get angry at all, and he argued with the civil officials.

Many civil officials began to doubt their lives.

After all, Zhang Liang and Yan Lu were both Confucian masters.

What they learned was the purest Confucianism, so how could their Confucian philosophy be compared with those civil officials who had learned and misinterpreted countless times?

Although the times are progressing, Confucianism is really regressing.

Of course, this does not mean that there were no good classics and articles by Confucian sages in later generations, but it can only be said that there were very few.

Take the world where Li Chenghan lives as an example. There are only a handful of Confucian culture in this world that can be compared with Zhang Liang from ancient times to the present.

So how could these civil officials and ministers argue with Zhang Liang?

"Your Majesty, I have read the books of sages for my whole life.

So I have some qualifications to comment on the books of sages.

To be honest, the Confucian classics advocated by Lord Zhang and Lord Yan are the closest to the benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness advocated by the sages if they were placed in the era of sages."

"The sages advocated peace, fairness and justice in the world, and benevolence among the people.

The Confucians after the sages have always advocated teaching the six arts of gentlemen.

Now, let alone our Great Wu Empire, the six arts of gentlemen have long been abandoned by the world.

For example, the Confucian classics learned by our Great Wu and even the previous dynasties seem to be more inclined to cater to the rulers.

"After listening to Mr. Zhang's remarks today, I feel that today's Confucianism seems to have imprisoned the thoughts of scholars, making all the smart people in our Great Wu and even the previous dynasties complacent."

"Especially in the past, everyone in our Great Wu Empire and the previous dynasties was very resistant to new systems and things.

I think this is very scary.

So I dare to make this suggestion and hope that Your Majesty will pay attention to it. ”

During the debate, Lin Ruhai, who had never spoken to Zhang Liang, took a deep breath and expressed his opinion at the risk of offending Li Chenghan, the sage.

After the specific content of Yan Lu's Confucianism was passed on to Shenjing City, he felt that Yan Lu's Confucianism seemed to be closer to the words of the sage.

After listening to Zhang Liang's debate today, Lin Ruhai found that the Confucianism they learned was more like a doctrine that tended to be loyal to the ruler and imprisoned thoughts.

And the Confucianism advocated by Zhang Liang and Yan Lu was closer to the doctrine of the Confucian sage.

Thinking of the key , Lin Ruhai also felt that Li Chenghan was a sage king who had no predecessors and no successors.

That’s why he dared to bring up his discovery to Li Chenghan.

He hoped that Li Chenghan would attach importance to national talents and the true teachings of sages.

Of course, if Li Chenghan’s heart was the same as other emperors, he would not regret it.

Even if he died at that time, he would at least die with value, and it would not be in vain that he had studied for a lifetime.

It would not be in vain that he had eaten the emperor’s salary and made his last contribution to the Great Wu.

“Lord Lin, how could you say such treasonous words? You are in vain as the Minister of Revenue. (To read the novels of Bao Shuang, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

We also jointly recommended you to join the cabinet.”

“Lord Lin, you are so disappointing. You have read the books of sages for nothing.

You are a third place winner! ”

“Lord Lin, how can you…”

After hearing Lin Ruhai’s words, Su Zhi nodded and said nothing.

And those civil officials who were debating with Zhang Liang were first shocked by Lin Ruhai’s words, and then they immediately stopped working.

They pointed at Lin Ruhai one by one and began to condemn and question him.

When Su Zhi was about to speak for Lin Ruhai, Li Chenghan, who had been listening for a long time, interrupted those civil officials.

“｀Okay, that’s enough!”

“I just want to ask you one question. How many wars have been experienced in the Central Plains from ancient times to the present?

How many of the saints’ books were destroyed during the period, and how many were filled back by the sages through memory or research. ”

“Have you never thought about this question?”

“I think what Mr. Lin said is very right. ”

“The current Confucianism is the thought of the scholars in our Great Wu.To put it bluntly, imprisonment is the Confucianism that has been tampered by countless people, not the Confucianism passed down by the real saints. "

"In fact, from the debate just now, I believe you have all been shaken in your hearts. []

You are afraid that (Zhao Zhao) has discovered this problem, but you dare not admit it because you are afraid of me.

To put it bluntly, if I did not have an invincible and powerful army under my command, I would not have so many great achievements.

I am afraid it would be difficult for me to implement so many benevolent policies to strengthen my Great Wu. "

"Because under the current Confucianism, you and all the scholars in the world resist progress and resist the emergence of new things.

All of you are content to stick to the old ways.

This is a taboo for my Great Wu, and it is also the root cause of strengthening the enemy and weakening ourselves. ”

“I also know that after listening to what I said, you will probably think that I am destroying my own foundation, because the Confucianism of my Great Wu is now a means for the rulers to consolidate their power and status.

To put it bluntly, this method is to trap the thoughts of smart people, so that smart people will spend their entire lives studying articles instead of thinking about rebellion. ”.
