Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 332 Slippery and Double Sleeping...【6000 words】

"When Dong Zi promoted Confucianism and let the big man 'monopolize Confucianism', there was no Cheng Zhu."

The Dong Zi mentioned by Feng Yibo is Dong Zhongshu of the Gongyang School in the Han Dynasty.

Without the Gongyang School, or in other words, without Dong Zhongshu, Confucianism would not be where it is today.

This is something that every Confucian disciple cannot deny!
Before that, the Qin Dynasty was dominated by Legalism.

Han Feizi and Li Si are both disciples of Xunzi, but they are representatives of Legalism.

It was not until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism alone that it was the beginning of Confucianism's real entry into the world.

"I just think that the previous theories have some merits. If this is deviant, wouldn't it be even more deviant if Cheng Zhu wrote a book after Gong Yang?"

Feng Yibo casually used a phrase of "stealing the concept".

Strictly speaking, both Cheng and Zhu are considered disciples of Mencius, and the Gongyang School took a different approach.

Therefore, there is no direct inheritance relationship between the two, and Cheng Zhu is naturally not deviant.

What's more, if scholars dare to slander Cheng Zhu, it is not a matter of deviant.

It's outrageous!
Fortunately, Feng Yibo didn't go further, but smiled slightly, and said boldly:

"Sometimes I think, if Cheng Zhu is used to investigate things, extend knowledge, sincerity, and straighten one's heart, and the ram is used to cultivate one's morality, regulate the family, govern the country, and calm the world, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Songyue frowned tightly.

Apparently he felt that Feng Yibo was going to engage in a dispute between schools.

On the other hand, Liu Zheng looked thoughtful when he heard the words.

It seems to be thinking about the feasibility of separating the two sets of theories in parallel.

In fact, Feng Yibo certainly never thought about denying Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in this era.

Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism is at least the pinnacle of the systematization of Confucianism.

What's more, in his opinion, no matter how good an idea is, it can't stand someone taking it out of context.

There is no need to deny everything of the predecessors just because the descendants are unfilial.

If Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism is used as a moral standard, it is not bad to use it to rectify one's sincerity.

However, the Gongyang School is very aggressive. In this era, a little momentum is needed to govern the country and the world!

The Central Plains dynasty has led the entire world for thousands of years.

But if you don't fight at this time, just like the original world, maybe you will be caught up soon.

Since Feng Yibo came, he naturally thought about changing this.

In this era, the prerequisite for change is to find a theoretical basis first.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Feng Yibo asked:

"Teacher, do you think that being so inclusive is deviant? Maybe this is closer to the original intention of the saint?"

In this day and age, the best way to find a theoretical basis.

It is to look for it in the classics of various schools of Confucianism.

But the Gongyang School is only one of them, and Feng Yibo doesn't want to learn from Dong Zhongshu.

He doesn't care what school of thought!
Regardless of Cheng Zhu or Gongyang, the part that fits his thinking is a good theory.

Both Zhang Songyue and Liu Zheng are well-educated, a master of Neo-Confucianism, and a champion in the imperial examination.

He has a deep understanding of the words of the saints.

As Feng Yibo said, each school is using its own thinking to interpret the original meaning of the sage.

But the true meaning of the saint is no longer known.

Just as he said just now, "self-cultivation, family governance, state governance and world peace" are regarded as the standard by many scholars.

In fact, it was published in "University" together with "Investigating Things and Zhizhi".

Moreover, it is the same paragraph in the same article.

The original text will not be repeated, but in order:
Investigating things, extending knowledge, sincerity, rectifying one's heart, self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace.

This set of theories is originally a progressive relationship.

However, in the process of inheritance, it was taken out of context.

Confucianism has been passed down to the present, and one of the cores remains the four words "searching things to know".

Even sincerity and righteousness are almost forgotten.

Not to mention self-cultivation, family regulation, state governance, and peace of the world,

Zhang Songyue frowned and couldn't help confirming:

"The dispute between schools has ended for a thousand years, and now Cheng Zhu's learning is deeply rooted. Do you really want to risk the disapproval of the world and start a dispute between schools again?"

He seeks stability and does not endorse the radical Ram School.

Although Feng Yibo's words were not unreasonable, they touched him somewhat.

But even so, Zhang Songyue was not optimistic about this matter.

Of course, he also knew that Feng Yibo didn't have the foundation to engage in school disputes.

Such disputes between schools of thought are similar to party disputes.

It's not that you propose a strategy and someone will approve it.

First of all, you must first become a master of Confucianism.

At least write a book to spread your thoughts.

Secondly, it is best to have official support.

Since Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism came out, it has been regarded as orthodox by all dynasties.

Even the imperial examinations use this as the standard. Who else can you recognize if you let the students not recognize Neo Confucianism?
If you really learn the Gongyang imperial examination, you can't pass it.

"Teacher, you are serious. I don't have the qualifications to start a school dispute. At most, it's just my own little worry about the Confucianism today."

Don't look at what Feng Yibo said is radical, but with his qualifications, he is not enough to engage in school disputes in the Great Wei.

The gap between a little Tanhua and a master of Confucianism is much greater than the gap between the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and the chief assistant of the cabinet.

But if you worry about Confucianism, no one can stop you.

He said he was worried about Confucianism and wanted to find a way out.

This can be regarded as the obligation of every Confucian disciple.

Since everyone comes from Confucianism, the foundation is the Four Books and Five Classics.

What schools of thought contended for was nothing more than the right to interpret scriptures, and each said its own theory, which was the original intention of Confucius.

Then I'll check it out, right?
And compatible with several factions, in fact, is not without.

For example, in Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, it is generally accepted that the two schools of Zisi and Mencius coexist.

What Feng Yibo meant was that I was just exploring Confucianism and referring to other schools.

You can’t deny other schools because of this, let alone say that I’m deviant, right?
Hearing this, Zhang Songyue narrowed his eyes slightly, and said:

"Hope it's just on your mind."

Just now he was really angry because Liu Zheng was incited.

At this moment, he felt that Feng Yibo's tugging back and forth here seemed to be deliberately provoking him.

But he happened to speak in a polite and polite way, not like he was playing on the spot.

After all, Feng Yibo is very young, judging from the current situation, he will definitely not be in the pool in the future.

Liu Zheng, the successor he has carefully cultivated, is not enough for Feng Yibo now.

If he really had this thought, then in the foreseeable future, it might be a storm that swept through the scholars of Wei Dynasty.

But the other party always left half a sentence behind, and seemed to be just complaining casually.

This made Zhang Songyue confused for a moment about the authenticity of the other party.

Hearing this, Feng Yibo said unhurriedly:

"It's not that the teacher asked me to talk casually, so I just said casually. Don't blame the teacher, let alone take it to heart."

When it came to the key point, Feng Yibo started to take it back again.

He also slapped him casually, making Zhang Songyue involuntarily stunned for a moment.

He did let Feng Yibo talk casually, but didn't he let him engage in school disputes?
At this time, Zhang Songyue also remembered that what I want to talk about today is the division of interests.

But when he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but say first:

"You are learning from Cheng Zhu after all. Don't be prejudiced against Cheng Zhu. The sage's modest words are true, but not everyone can interpret them casually. Zhu Zi's annotations are enough to study for a lifetime."

Zhang Songyue himself is a master of Confucianism, otherwise he would not have become the emperor's teacher.

A person who has studied physiology all his life, how can he tolerate juniors saying Cheng Zhu is wrong in front of him?
If it is not limited by identity, there are still occasions that are not right.

Zhang Songyue even wanted to teach this Shuzi a lesson.

After a few words of advice, he wanted to continue talking about the terms.

But when Feng Yibo heard the words, he immediately shook his head and sighed:

"Teacher, you are wrong to blame me!"

He looked at Zhang Songyue with an aggrieved face, and explained:
"I have no prejudice against Cheng Zhu, but I have prejudice against those who study Cheng Zhu now, so I want to use other schools of thought to bring all current scholars back on track."

"Oh?"

Obviously felt that the other party started rambling again.

But Zhang Songyue, who "learned from Cheng Zhu", couldn't help being interested in these words.

"I'll give you an example and the teacher will understand what I mean."

Seeing his curiosity, Feng Yibo was slightly proud of himself, but he still looked worried on the surface, and continued:

"There is a saying in "Zhou Li": raising the sons of the country to teach the way is to teach the six arts. Everyone knows that these six arts are 'ritual, music, archery, imperial, book, and number', of which 'ritual, music, archery, imperial' are more It's great art."

Zhang Songyue frowned slightly upon hearing the words, a little confused.

First came "University" and then "Zhou Li".

The two are somewhat related, both come from Sanli.

But he jumped left and right, what exactly did he want to say?
On the other hand, Liu Zheng heard the words, but looked thoughtful.

These words obviously touched some of his usual thoughts.

If there were more gentlemen in the court, he would not be restrained in various ways, making him unable to accomplish anything.

Feng Yibo observed the expressions of the two, and continued:
"Does the teacher know that besides the rituals in the big arts, and the books in the small arts, what else can students do?"

Only then did Zhang Songyue know what he was talking about, but he didn't understand what he was going to say.

When Liu Zheng heard the words, he thought of something.

His brows were furrowed for a while, but there was no answer.

Fortunately, Feng Yibo didn't wait for any response from the two of them, he asked himself and answered:
"They can play piano, chess, painting, and by the way, whoring, so the current six arts are really advancing with the times. Shouldn't they be changed to 'ritual, whoring, piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting'?"

What he said was so ugly that he almost scolded today's scholars all over the place!
Speaking of which, the qin can barely be regarded as a kind of music.

However, the three arts of "shooting, fighting, and counting" have almost been completely given up by scholars today.

Don't talk about archery, it's shooting against the wall, and many scholars who can't bear it are a little weak.

Let alone driving, few people even know how to ride a horse.

Going out is like a big girl, but more and more people are sitting in sedan chairs.

Why is there such a thing as child molestation in this era?

Isn't it that a group of men are weaker than women, and women are still like women?
The real genetic problem, after all, is very rare.

Most of them are caused by psychological factors influenced by the environment.

And part of this environment is the orientation of public opinion.

But isn't the public opinion of this era in the hands of scholars?

As for mathematics, apart from a few leisurely hobbies, I will study one or two.

Only those who manage accounts can know a little bit.

Today's scholars really respond to "only read the books of sages and sages".

Unfortunately, their understanding of sages is too narrow.

He only recognizes one literary sage, and only studies one Cheng-Zhu school of thought.

Half of the six arts of a gentleman handed down by sages have been cut off.

These words were already too much, but Feng Yibo still felt that it was not enough, and added fuel to the fire:

"This order may not be correct. Li and Shu should probably be at the end."

The implication is: prostitution, piano, chess, painting, ceremony, and book.

Really put prostitution in the "six arts of a gentleman", and it's still at the top of the list.

Confucius' coffin board may not be able to hold it down anymore.

Zhang Songyue felt furious when he heard this, and immediately frowned and asked:
"Do you think this is the reason for learning from Cheng Zhu?"

Hearing the questioning, Feng Yibo shook his head repeatedly and said:
"Students naturally don't dare to blame Cheng Zhu, if they want to blame it, they can blame the current weak atmosphere."

In fact, this matter is really not to blame "Cheng Zhu", but also to blame the double standards of literati.

It is probably an unhealthy trend that has formed since the Song Dynasty.

Take prostitution as an example.

Common people's prostitution, if people know about it, they just don't follow the right path and are shameless.

Everyone will feel that this person is not passing the day.

If you go whoring every day, you may be talked about in private, or even looked down upon.

But businessmen, Xungui and other prostitutes just don't understand Fengyue and dogs chew peonies.

In the mouths of literati, either they are ignorant or incompetent, or they are dudes.

However, for literati who prostitute, it has become a romantic and elegant thing.

These people are not ashamed, but proud.

They are all prostitutes, so what is the difference between high and low?
If you are really Liu Sanbian, that's all.

Anyway, it can help people become famous.

But it is obviously arty, and the poems he makes are also devoid of aura.

Many of them are poor and don't give much money, just want to play tricks?
There are also some who go straight to whoring for nothing just because they have a little ink.

There are even more shameless ones who want prostitutes to turn their backs and use money to redeem themselves as concubines!
The capitalists really want to cry when they hear this.

It's a pity that many prostitutes are deceived by sweet words, but most of them lose their money in the end.

Isn't that what Du Shiniang is?
A truly transparent prostitute would be better off taking jobs from businessmen and dandies.

Most of them have more money and less work, and go straight to the point.

The six arts of a gentleman now mostly exist only in writing.

In fact, he was ignored by scholars, and even ridiculed that people who ride horses and shoot arrows are reckless.

"Nowadays the six arts of a gentleman are left behind. In the long run, the old things in Jingkang will inevitably repeat themselves. Is this really what the teacher wants to see?"

Seeing Liu Zheng's face of approval beside him, Zhang Songyue frowned and said:

"You said it wasn't a dispute between schools, so what do you mean by that?"

Feng Yibo had been prepared for a long time, he smiled when he heard the words, and said loudly with a long body:

"When I was a scholar, I regained the six arts of a gentleman, and changed the culture of being weak!"

"Scholars of my generation should aspire to serve the country, weneng can write a pen to secure the world, and martial arts can set the world on horseback!"

"Students of my generation should be like dragons, and reshape their strength of character!"

Three times with this button, the blood of the listeners is boiling!

Zhang Songyue pondered for a moment, but poured cold water on him and said:
"It's easy to say, even if it's as strong as a ram, isn't it too late now?"

The Ram School is indeed powerful, and some people even say:

All previous dynasties were destroyed by weakness, and the only Han Dynasty was destroyed by strength.

This is not unrelated to the thought of the Ram School.

"Dynasties rise and fall, why can't theories be replaced?"

Feng Yibo smiled when he heard the words, then looked at Liu Zhengdao again:
"What's more, it doesn't matter if I can't do it, as long as I find a way to start, there will be thousands of insightful people to follow."

Even though Zhang Songyue was the chief assistant of the cabinet, he was still a scholar after all, and he felt a little touched in his heart.

What's more, a modest gentleman like Liu Zheng has long been dissatisfied with the atmosphere of the world.

"Okay! Listening to Jun's words today, I am really enlightened!"

When Liu Zheng heard the words, he immediately shouted hello, and then looked at Zhang Songyue excitedly and said:

"Teacher, what Yibo said is reasonable, the scholars in Dawei are indeed weak, and even their stomachs are full of filth!"

"Teacher, as the emperor's teacher and the chief assistant of the cabinet, you are a model for scholars in the world!"

"Disciple, dare to stand up and ask the teacher to stand up and sweep away the filth in the world, so that the atmosphere of Great Wei will be cleaned up!"

"Disciple Liu Zheng wishes to attach Jiwei!"

Hearing this, Zhang Songyue looked helplessly at his carefully trained apprentice.

Silly boy, are you going to force me to fight against countless scholars who study Neo-Confucianism after being fooled by a few words?

Before he could respond, Feng Yibo said mockingly:

"How about the teacher, is it better to use his cleanser than to forcibly polish it?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Songyue was startled.

For a moment, he couldn't tell which of Feng Yibo's words was true and which was false.

He didn't know that he was still angry, and he was proving to himself Liu Zheng's correct guiding method.

He still has the heart, and wants to use himself to clean up the world's filth.

Or, a little bit of both?

In any case, the remarks were provocative.

Everyone is like a dragon, even if he is a dying man, he listened.

It is inevitable that there will be a sense of blood boiling.

What's more, Liu Zheng is such an unpolished brat!
You could tell by his expression, no matter what Feng Yibo said was true or not.

He really took it to heart!

At this moment, Zhang Songyue was a little powerless, but he had some hope.

I just don't know, what I am looking forward to is the big Wei who is like a dragon.

Still hoping for something else...

"I think the teacher is a little tired, why don't we go here first today!"

Seeing that Zhang Songyue was in a daze, Feng Yibo cautiously bid farewell.

Zhang Songyue was lost in thought, and nodded inadvertently.

But after Feng Yibo left, he came to his senses and immediately slapped the table and said:

"Not good! Be fooled by this cunning trick!"

I came to him to discuss the terms of the peace!

Why did you let him go without talking about business?

The more Zhang Song thought about it, the more angry he became.

Thinking about it now, the first sentence that came in from this little cunning guy was his nose.

For a while he was angry with Liu Zheng's affairs, and for a while he was angry with himself by attacking Neo Confucianism.

But rambling, just didn't mention the specific division of interests.

He went around here and talked for a long time.

What you dare to say is all nonsense!
But she was emotionally affected by his nonsense, so she just let him go?
No, it cannot be said that it is all nonsense.

Thinking about it carefully, he still gained a little bit.

Although Feng Yibo did not hold back his hands, his words revealed his ambition.

There is also the control of this matter in words.

It still gave him some ideas.

Thinking of this, Zhang Songyue comforted himself.

But when he saw his apprentice Liu Zheng, he looked eager to try.

He felt another headache.

This was obviously instigated by Feng Yibo, who wanted to rebel against his teacher!
"Shut up!"

On the other side, Feng Yibo heaved a sigh of relief as soon as he got into the carriage.

Although he had some acting elements just now, he was indeed somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Songyue because of Liu Zheng's matter.

Therefore, he took advantage of the topic and taught Zhang Songyue a lesson.

While taking the opportunity to get away, I also hope that the chief minister of the cabinet can correctly guide his friend Liu Zheng in the future,

Use his innocence instead of smoothing it out as an edge.

Hope he can understand what he means.

When they returned to Feng Mansion, the sky had already darkened.

In the Zhuangyuan Building just now, Feng Yibo only drank a few sips of tea.

At this time, it was just in time to have dinner with the wives and concubines.

Seeing him coming back, Baochai asked in a strange way:
"Didn't the uncle go to the Zhuangyuan Building for a banquet, why did you come back so soon?"

"There are others here, so if you don't want to have fun, I will come back early."

Feng Yibo covered up a sentence casually, and said with a smile:
"Hey! It's just in time for the meal, otherwise I would have to ask someone to start a small stove."

Baochai heard that he didn't want to say more, so she smiled slightly, and didn't ask any more questions.

After eating here, Feng Yibo left with Second Sister You.

"I still asked why Daddy didn't come today. It seems that after only a few days, I'm already used to being with my uncle!"

"Haha! Tomorrow, I'll ask someone to make some toys for Xi'er, and I promise to make her get closer to me."

"Although I know that the uncle dotes on girls, don't be too spoiled. My mother said..."

"What's the reason for this? Girls just need to be pampered. The son is poor and the daughter is rich. It's not like we don't have that condition..."

The two chatted while walking, talking about how to train Feng Xie.

"Master, I'm getting older, I'm afraid she will run away..."

Seeing the door, Second Sister You hesitated not to enter the hospital.

Feng Yibo looked at her suspiciously, but saw her face flushed, and after glancing at Feng Yibo, he said expectantly:
"How about... let's go to Sanjie's side?"

Originally, after dealing with Zhang Songyue just now, Feng Yibo was a little tired.

But when Second Sister You said this, he immediately regained his energy.

"go!"

Feng Yibo was about to leave happily, but then he stopped his figure and said hesitantly:
"That's over here..."

"There is a nanny to take care of it, so don't worry, uncle."

With these words, Feng Yibo naturally stopped hesitating, and now he and Second Sister You came to Third Sister You's side.

Upon entering the courtyard, several servant girls came forward to salute in surprise.

The third sister You heard the sound, obviously she was not prepared either.

He greeted him with a puzzled look on his face.

"uncle."

Feng Yibo nodded, then waved his hand, and said to the maids:
"You all go outside to serve."

After the three of them returned to the room, he smiled "hehe" and said:
"Your sister said she missed you, so she suggested that we talk by candlelight tonight, and recall the good days when I was not a child."

Third Sister You blushed when she heard the words.

But he also understood his sister's kindness, and hurried forward to help Feng Yibokuan take off his coat.

Second Sister You covered her mouth and chuckled, and came over to wrap her arms around Feng Yibo's waist.

Feng Yibo hugged left and right for a while, chatting with the two sisters all night long.

As the candlelight flickered, a pair of moths flew around the candlestick.

But the candles of this era obviously have a lot of impurities.

When burning, there is a constant "cracking" sound.

The two moths were so scared that they flew more happily.

After nearly two years, Feng Yibo's long-awaited double night...

Finally came out again.

The night is like a quilt, dotted with stars.

The conversation between the three people in the room was intermittent and lasted for most of the night.

Unknowingly, the candlestick was covered with candle tears.

The two moths died together with the candle in the sound of "cracking" without knowing when.
