Appoint me as a spy, but the contact person is actually the empress

Chapter 74 Confucianism
Li Yun sat in his seat with a calm expression, and began to teach according to his teacher's arrangement.

At present, I still stay on the thousand-character prose, but it is almost finished.

I have to say that it is quite abstract to ask a number one scholar to teach the eunuchs how to read.

So in this case, if the eunuchs don't study hard, it is very reasonable to be beaten.

There is a saying that sticks make filial sons. This is really true, and it is especially reasonable to put it in reading.

Humans are inherently depraved, and children are even more lazy. If you engage in happy education, it will basically be a waste of more than half, unless your genes are really good.

Your child can understand the content and meaning of the book at a glance, otherwise, happy education is to deceive the people at the bottom.

The higher the status, the greater the power, the more wealth people pay the most attention to education. Their children are definitely not the kind of people who have nothing to do all day and rely on the family to eat and drink.

Seriously, the children of the rich and powerful family, one by one worked harder than the other, just like the emperor, when he was a child, he was beaten and scolded when he was studying.

I have to study before dawn, and I can only go back after dark. This process is absolutely painful.

Xu Shouyun understood this truth, so he was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that Xueshi Meng didn't come today and was replaced by his student.

As for the lectures, Li Yun began to teach, but looked at Xu Shouyun from time to time, which seemed a little weird.

Two full hours later, with the ringing of the bell, it was time for the lunch break, and all the eunuchs got up to salute and bowed to Li Yun.

Li Yun got up to accept the worship of the crowd, then let the eunuchs disperse, and walked in front of Xu Shouyun.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Li Yun opened his mouth and asked proactively.

"I'm Xu Shouyun, the eunuch in charge of Wuning Palace."

Xu Shouyun bowed his hand, he did not put himself in a very humble position, he was generous.

"It turned out to be Eunuch Xu."

"Seeing that Your Excellency has an extraordinary appearance, Li has a good impression of you, so he took the liberty to ask, and I hope that Your Excellency will not be offended."

Li Yun opened his mouth and expressed his thoughts, and now Xu Shouyun understood why the other party had nothing to do with him.

It turned out to be admiring myself.

This guy is not bad.

No one can reject a person who admires him, and Xu Shouyun is no exception. Of course, Xu Shouyun is not stupid. There must be certain factors for having good eyesight, but more of them are social connections.

This man in front of him is the number one scholar of the Great Wei Dynasty. From his speech and behavior, it can be seen that his background should not be particularly noble.

Therefore, apart from the social contacts of some scholars, there should be no other contacts, and it is reasonable to take the initiative to get acquainted with yourself.

Of course, personality charm is very important. Scholars actually care about appearance very much. Appearance is the biggest killer of scholars.

"Brother's words are serious, how can you say strange words."

Xu Shouyun cupped his hands, and his speech was also full of elegance, which surprised the latter. After all, words and deeds can reveal a person's character, and he didn't expect a father-in-law to be like this.

Moreover, Xu Shouyun is not very old, he looks sixteen or seventeen years old, and he is young. With such abilities, he is indeed not bad.

Xu Shouyun couldn't be bothered by socializing. The two just had a few simple conversations, and Xu Shouyun asked the people below to prepare delicacies to entertain each other.

After all, this is the palace. Even if Li Yun came to teach, the etiquette system would not allow Li Yun to travel freely in the palace, and he must be monitored.

Half an hour later, the standard eight dishes and one soup were served in the dining room of Neishutang. Xu Shouyun specially asked someone to prepare some good wine, which surprised Li Yun.

After all, even though he was the No. [-] scholar of the Great Wei Dynasty, there was absolutely no need for Xu Shouyun to be so kind to him.

There is no shortage of champions in the court, and Xu Shouyun is already the eunuch in charge of the palace. If you say that the rank is not inferior to him, it's just that one is inside the palace and the other is outside the palace.

Therefore, Xu Shouyun's hospitality can be regarded as an expression of his sincerity.

"Young brother, you are really polite."

Li Yun made a sound, showing a little emotion, but Xu Shouyun was a little puzzled by this kind of hospitality, what big scene hasn't he seen before?

And being so polite to yourself, even if you appreciate it, it's not like this, right?
Xu Shouyun was quite curious about this, but Xu Shouyun was not stupid, instead of asking directly, he drank first.

After drinking for three rounds, Xu Shouyun was polite. He didn't drink, but the two of them looked refined. They drank back and forth, without seeming deliberate.

This made Li Yun feel more fond of Xu Shouyun.

But at the small banquet, Xu Shouyun also raised a lot of questions, and Li Yun almost knew everything without saying anything.

After some conversation, Xu Shouyun became numb.

Through Li Yun's narration, Xu Shouyun learned that Confucianism and Taoism in this world are really different from what he imagined.

Confucian disciples practice the law of saints, condense the righteousness of Confucianism, have the ability to follow the law, and scholars contain the destiny of the country.

This national destiny is not a mysterious statement, it is something that really exists.

The fortune of the country is strong, the country is in good weather, there are no disasters and diseases, the people live and work in peace and contentment, talents come forth in large numbers, and the influence is great.

If the fortune of the country is weak, there will be some strange things, such as floods, earthquakes, meteorites, and plagues, which will make you doubt your life.

The national fortune of the Great Wei Dynasty actually began to weaken 300 years ago, and until today, it is far worse than before.

"Brother, do you mean that most of the foundation of the national fortune comes from scholars?"

Xu Shouyun raised his wine glass, collided with the other party, and asked his doubts.

"Well, the fate of the world basically comes from Confucian disciples, that is, scholars."

"Of course, some places will also enhance the fortunes of the country. For example, the people live and work in peace and prosperity, and the king respects the virtuous and the corporals, and does not increase killings in vain, and does not start wars. All these will increase the fortunes of the country."

"It's just based on Confucian disciples. For example, if a saint was born in the Great Wei Dynasty, no, don't call it a saint. If a semi-saint appears, don't say that the country's luck has returned to its peak."

"At least it's definitely a ZTE moment."

Li Yun's face was a little drunk, but it could be seen that he didn't lie and looked very serious.

"Confucianism, the fate of the country."

Xu Shouyun was a little surprised, this was something he had never understood.

"No wonder the status of Confucian scholars is not even weaker than court officials."

"That is to say, these people are the ones who manipulate the country's affairs?"

Xu Shouyun couldn't help asking.

"It's different."

"Confucian scholars, self-cultivation and self-cultivation, condense Confucian righteousness, and are tied to the national destiny. They are born to do things from the perspective of the country. The court is not afraid of them harming the dynasty, or committing crimes."

"So Confucian scholars can supervise all affairs of the dynasty. With this kind of power, their status will naturally rise."

"However, state affairs are unpredictable. Many things contain too many things, and Confucian students can't mix them at will, unless it is something that is completely unreasonable."

"Otherwise, once you participate in it, there is nothing to say if you do it well. If you don't do it well, it will affect the decline of the country's fortune, and these scholars will also suffer backlash."

As soon as this answer was said, Xu Shouyun suddenly realized.
