Daming talker

Chapter 181 The Superlative Black
Like the yamen, the architectural layout of schools all over the world is similar, and they are all standardized buildings designed by Emperor Taizu Gao.

When Mr. Lin walked into Wuxi County School, he smiled to the left and right guardians: "As a cultural person, I have never even entered Suzhou's local prefectural school and county school. Instead, I advanced to the county school in other places."

Under normal circumstances, county schools are definitely not allowed to come and go at will, but today the "big boss" gave a public lecture, and he was half-opened.

Mr. Lin was wearing a green shirt, dressed like a scholar, so the door didn't stop him.

He came late, and the lecture had already begun.

But it doesn't matter, Mr. Lin didn't come to listen to the lecture, his motive was actually "curiosity hunting".

It's like visiting a famous tourist attraction, and seeing what the leaders and founders of the Donglin Party will look like in the future.

At this point in time, most of the Eight Gentlemen of Donglin in the early days should be in Wuxi County, and two are from Wujin County next door.

In the middle of the platform of Minglun Hall, the person who is speaking is a middle-aged man with a round face, 36 or [-] years old, with a long beard hanging down to his chest.

You don't need to ask, you know, this must be Gu Xiancheng, the "righteous way and true Confucianism" advocated by the innkeeper, and I don't know who came up with this title.

On both sides of Gu Xiancheng, there were four people sitting. They must all be close to Gu Xiancheng and have certain status.

According to historical data, Gu Yuncheng, the younger brother of Gu Xiancheng, Xue Fujiao, the grandson of Mr. Gu Xiancheng, and Ye Maocai, a close friend from the same village, were probably among them.

At present, these people are all in their thirties, and in the future, all of them will pass the Jinshi examination in the two subjects, and the ranking rate is [-]%, which is higher than that of Mr. Zaifu.

There is also a young man in his early twenties, who must be Gao Panlong, known as the "Scholar of the World", a child prodigy who won the imperial examination at the age of 21.

The above-mentioned people are all the figures in the Eight Gentlemen of the early Donglin Party and the core figures of the early Donglin Party.

So some people say that the Donglin Party does not engage in cliques and is not a "party", but it is a joke.

Otherwise, why did the six of the eight gentlemen in Donglin in the early days come from Wuxi and the two from Wujin next door, most of them were related to Gu Xiancheng?

Otherwise, why did the people in the Eight Gentlemen of Donglin, under such a brutal imperial examination elimination rate, be able to pass the Jinshi examination in two or three subjects, and 100% of them were on the list?

Of course, it can also be regarded as a coincidence. The future Donglin gentlemen sitting on the platform are all geniuses in the imperial examination comparable to Prince Zaifu.

And under the platform, there are about a hundred scholars, surrounding the platform on three sides like stars and the moon, everyone's expressions are full of worship and admiration.

It has to be said that at this time Gu Xiancheng's charisma has already begun to be seen, at least in the local area he is still very charismatic.

Anyway, Gu Xiancheng is not only a scholar, but also an official of the official department, the official department in charge of personnel work.

After the three-year vacation is over, Mr. Gu still has to go back to work in the Ministry of Officials in the capital.

To add a digression, Gu Xiancheng is the No. 5 Jinshi in the legend, the one behind the No. [-] Scholar, Second Place, Tanhua, and Chuanlu.

I don't know if others have listened to the lecture. Anyway, Mr. Lin is not interested in listening carefully. He just stood here looking at the "sight spots" while thinking wildly.

Suddenly I heard Gu Xiancheng on the platform say: "I want to compile the "Five Classics"."

The young man who looked like Gao Panlong next to him asked, "What is the Five Classics?"

Gu Xiancheng replied: "Yu is not a surplus, but a continuation. The meaning of "Five Classics" is to continue the cause of the sage's "Five Classics"!"

The young man suspected of Gao Panlong asked again: "How to proceed?"

Gu Xiancheng replied: "The meaning of the "Five Classics" mostly originated from the three generations. However, the following three generations were not included, and I have a lot of regrets in my heart.

Therefore, I want to continue the content of the Five Classics in the scope of the following three generations. This is also the "Five Classics Remains". "

Hearing this, the scholars under the platform have already started talking.

Gu Xiancheng turned to everyone in the audience, and said in a very imposing and rhythmic voice:
"I want to use "Tai Chi Tu Shuo", "Jing Shi", "Enlightenment" and so on as "Yi Yu"!
The edicts, imperial edicts, memorials, and Shus of the following three generations are called "Shu Yu"!
Take Sao, Fu, ancient poems, etc. as "Shi Yu"!
Take "Compendium" and various histories as "Spring and Autumn Remains"!
The appropriate ones of the past dynasties are "Li Yu"!
The above is the idea of ​​"Five Classics"! "

The pitch of each sentence was higher than that of each sentence. When the last sentence was said, all the people in the audience were stunned!

It turned out that Mr. Gu was not just joking, but had an idea!

Continuing to supplement the Five Classics, what an awesome feat!As expected of Mr. Gu Jingyang!
A young man rushed out from the crowd, his face flushed with excitement, his whole body trembling, tears welled up in his eyes, and he shouted in an almost broken voice:
"After Kong Sheng, the one who dared to imitate the Six Classics and wrote works should be Wang Tong, a great Confucian in the Sui Dynasty!
And Mr. Jing Yang wanted to do the feat of "Five Classics", the scale is grand, even better than Wang Tong!
There are many volumes of laws and regulations in the past dynasties, and I, An Xifan, would like to follow Mr., follow the example of a dog and a horse, and revive the righteous school! "

Lin Tailai: "."

If your name is not An Xifan, I would really believe it.

An Xifan, 22 this year, the second youngest among the eight gentlemen in the early days of Donglin, worshiped Gu Xian as a teacher.

According to history, this person won the imperial examination this year and a Jinshi next year, and he was also a genius in the imperial examination.

With someone taking the lead in screaming, the atmosphere in the audience suddenly became heated.

All the scholars were in it, unknowingly fell into an inexplicable frenzy, and shouted together: "Fuxing Zhengxue! Fuxing Zhengxue!"

A literary greatness such as Supplementing the Five Classics is just around the corner. It would be an honor to participate in it!
Why is it called Fuxing Zhengxue, because Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind has been too popular in recent decades, and orthodox scholars like Gu Xiancheng are not happy about it.

The Zhang family brothers who were waiting not far from the periphery looked at each other subconsciously. They all felt that this scene seemed very familiar, and they felt that it was left over from playing in the restaurant at home.

Even the Zhang brothers were immune, let alone Mr. Lin himself, who just stood at the edge of the crowd with his arms folded, watching coldly.

No bragging or criticism, Mr. Gu, as a middle-level bureaucrat in the opposition, created a Donglin Party that has influenced the political arena for decades, and became a spiritual leader. There is still something.

Even after 500 years, the various operating methods I have seen will not be out of date.

Gu Xiancheng is really much stronger than that old leader who only knows how to talk hotly, and there is a clear generational gap!
After witnessing all this with his own eyes, Mr. Lin finally understood why the Donglin Party in history was so fanatical and extreme.

Because this is how it grows from the root, it is even more impossible to be corrected after it grows.

At this time, the gentlemen on the platform immediately noticed Lin Tailai when they inspected the crowd.

Originally, Daguan Lin was more than a foot taller than others, and his eye-catching basic index was not low.

Not to mention that at this moment when the crowd was in full swing, everyone else was passionate, only Mr. Lin subconsciously put on a posture of watching a monkey show with his arms folded.

Among the fanatical and brainless fans, a heresy unexpectedly appeared!
So it is impossible for him not to be noticed, unless others are blind.

After the atmosphere cooled down a bit, Gu Xiancheng's younger brother Gu Yuncheng said to the tall "scholar" at the edge of the crowd:

"Who is this majestic friend? Look at him."

Lin Tailai, who was watching the show, heard the question suddenly, and couldn't help sighing, so he can be called by name?Could this be the protagonist's halo?
Then he replied: "My surname is Lin. I came from Suzhou and went to Nanjing to take the exam. I passed by Guibao today, so I stopped by to listen."

There is nothing wrong with Mr. Lin's words, but they are easy to misunderstand. Anyway, after hearing it, others think Mr. Lin is going to take the August provincial examination.

Gu Yuncheng thought for a while, never heard of the Lin family in Suzhou, presumably they were not descendants of a great family, so he said:
"According to my observation, friend Lin seems to be very contemptuous of my brother's ideas.

If you have any contrary opinions, you may wish to speak out boldly here, and I will listen with all ears. "

Gu Yuncheng's words were obviously nothing, but when he thought about it carefully, he was terrified.

The atmosphere here is frenzied. If a poor boy who is alone and alone raises harsh objections rashly, what will happen?

In other words, finding an easy target to hit is more conducive to increasing the cohesion of one's own group.

Mr. Lin, who has experienced the era of fan economy, of course understands the problem.

After looking around, he said calmly:

"My idea is that Mr. Gu's ambition to write "Five Classics" is too small!

You might as well be more courageous and step faster! "

Everyone: "."

Dare to continue to supplement the "Five Classics", which is already a great achievement, what else do you want?
Lin Tailai said more passionately: "Don't make a fuss about the Five Classics, I think Mr. Gu can definitely create a new Four Books!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone immediately glared at Mr. Lin.

It's true, this person is definitely a black fan!Anyone who can say such a thing must be here to ruin the situation!
The Four Books are compulsory and the Five Classics are optional, which means that the Four Books have a higher status than the Five Classics!
Who dares to tamper with the Four Books?Isn't this clearly asking Mr. Gu to die!
Lin Tailai turned a blind eye to others, and only asked Gu Xiancheng: "What do you think of "Book of Rites", Mr. Jingyang?"

Gu Xiancheng said truthfully: "Most of the Five Classics deleted by Confucius survived the Qin fire.

Only the "Book of Rites" is half mixed, and it seems that it is not the original scripture.

I don't know why Er Cheng had the ability to reinvigorate Confucianism, but why he didn't correct the "Book of Rites" and make up for this deficiency. "

This is a relatively popular view. Many people suspect that the Book of Rites was compiled by Han Confucians.

Lin Tailai sighed: "Mr. Gu didn't figure it out, Er Cheng has corrected the "Book of Rites" and handed it down to the world!"

This kind of thing is not a joke, Gu Xiancheng couldn't help sitting up straight, and asked seriously: "Why does Lin Sheng dare to say that?"

Lin Tailai replied: "Actually, I think that the "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" praised by Ercheng and Zhu Zi are the real "Book of Rites" in their hearts, but they didn't say it clearly!"

Originally, "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" were both contained in the "Book of Rites", but the people of Song Dynasty extracted "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" from the "Book of Rites" separately, and called them together with "The Analects" and "Mencius". The Four Books became the highest classics of Confucianism.

Are the sages of the Song Dynasty implying that only "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" are the Book of True Rites?

Lin Tailai's point of view seems simple, but it is more novel. No one has thought about it from this angle before.

So it was as if the paper on the window was broken, and everyone present felt a sudden enlightenment.

Lin Tailai still said calmly: "In this way, the "Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" in the Four Books can be restored to the "Book of Rites".

Then the Four Books are missing two books. If two more books can be added, wouldn’t it become the new Four Books? "

Gu Xiancheng couldn't help being stunned, and his breathing became short of breath.

Oops!This is the feeling of heartbeat!

I originally thought it was the nonsense of an ignorant fanatic, but why do you keep talking more and more like that?
If you can recast the classics, what a merit, it will not be a problem to increase tens of thousands of fans!

The topic is too big to go on here.

At this time, others felt inexplicable awe, and they dared not speak, because they were not worthy of it!

Only Mr. Lin smiled, and said, "The first book, I think I can use Zhu Zi's "Primary School" to make up for it, and teach people how to be careful!"

Gu Xiancheng nodded subconsciously, feeling that the more he said it, the more reasonable it became. Zhu Zi's "Primary School" can make up for the problem that other classics focus too much.

"Then what is the second book?" Gu Xiancheng couldn't help asking.

So the smile on Mr. Lin's face became even stronger, and he continued: "As for the second book, I think Mr. Jing Yang, you can just write one and put it in!
It is too easy to write the scriptures of "The Analects" and "Mencius" with your talents of the world and the world!

After all, you are an upright and true Confucianist in this world, if you don’t act, no one can assist Confucius and Mencius! "

Gu Xiancheng: "."

I went around in a big circle and made up a bunch of decent Confucianism concepts, almost impressing myself, but the result was to make fun of myself in the end!
Although he had never heard this way of speaking, it didn't prevent him from hearing the irony!
It can be identified that this is definitely a black fan, the most advanced kind of black fan!
Among the gentlemen on the stage, Gao Panlong, who was still very young and vigorous, stood up, pointed at Lin Tailai and cursed:
"Don't dare to argue frankly, only dare to Pi Liyang Qiu, what a villain!"

Lin Tailai said contemptuously: "The one who lends huge interest at home is a villain, don't talk to me again!"

The Gao family made their fortune through usury. Gao Panlong was so angry that he wanted to jump down and beat someone.

Gu Xiancheng quickly stopped Gao Panlong, then turned his head and asked, "Who did you learn from? Who did you get your skills from?"

Just now I thought that Lin Sheng was a free-range scholar without heels, but now it doesn't seem like it anymore.

This is a talented person, otherwise he would not be able to make up those things at all, especially the concept of Confucian classics, which must have been passed down.

Senior official Lin replied: "My main skill. Is it passed down from Mr. Tang Jingchuan?"

It is said that boxing and whipping are not tested in the martial arts examination room, either bows and arrows, or swords and guns, so marksmanship is currently the main skill.

Gao Panlong couldn't help shouting: "Nonsense!"

Tang Shunzhi is from Wujin County next door, which belongs to the same Changzhou prefecture as Wuxi County, and is a senior celebrity in Changzhou prefecture.

Tang Shunzhi has some disciple inheritance, how could the people here not know about it?Where did the Suzhou Lin surname come from?

Lin Tailai said disdainfully: "Believe it or not! My family doesn't pay high interest rates, so it's a crime like your Gao family's quality warehouse is being cheated and abducted!"

Gao Panlong's heart was about to explode, and he shouted furiously: "Then let me see the skills you passed down from Mr. Jingchuan!"

Lin Tai looked at Gao Panlong's small body, and asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"
