Chapter 2785 The Ancient and Modern Scriptures Are Full of Righteous Deeds, but the Great Road Is Revealed in Small Ways.

Although among the serious and correct interpretations listed at the end, there is some suspicion of being divided into pigs, but in any case, these people who made correct interpretations are the backbone of the Confucian classics family. Some of these classics families study modern classics, and some study ancient classics. At this critical moment, they turned to the line of reforming the Confucian classics led by Xiuqi and adopted a very flexible attitude. They no longer specifically emphasized modern texts or ancient texts, but tried to revive orthodox Confucian concepts and abandoned The chaotic Zhewei system revised and improved the theories of the pre-Qin scholars, integrated it into the Han classics system, and then confronted the old Shandong classics system. It was obviously a change that adapted to the complex situation of the Han Dynasty today. , the embodiment of a new concept of survival.

These scholars of Confucian classics, just like Sima Hui, understood that whoever controls the official school can control national policies, and ultimately control the government, and obtain the greatest power and benefits from the court.

There is some moisture in it too.

For example, Kong's books, Mao's poems, and He's Gongyang.

But these facts cannot actually be regarded as false, because Kong's books, Mao's poems, and He's Gongyang have been widely circulated very early on. Many people in the Han Dynasty studied this version, specifically for It would be a bit petty to avoid Shandong and come up with some other version.

The "serious and correct solution" proposed by the Hussar General is undoubtedly re-establishing the status of "official learning".

Over the three to four hundred years since the Han Dynasty, some Confucian classics families have had their own unique methods and strategies for maintaining, consolidating and developing their own Confucian classics. Among these methods and strategies, there are good and bad sides. The successors of these classics, at this moment, once again gathered in Qinglong Temple, and well understood and implemented the concept of "the world changes and advances with the times" proposed by Fei Qian. In addition, including Zheng Xuan Including the prestige of many great sages and scholars, these serious and correct interpretations will definitely have a great impact on other Confucian scholars.

Even a decisive influence.

Nowadays, the Confucian scholars headed by Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui have rejected the emperor's invitation to Xu County and firmly stand in Chang'an, standing on the side of the Hussar General. This is undoubtedly a very clear and strong signal.

This shows that Fei Qian's improvements to Confucianism have been recognized by these great Confucian scholars. The direction of Confucian classics in the entire Han Dynasty has been recognized by most of the great Confucian scholars. The improved Confucian classics can be said to be the general trend.

The dispute between modern and ancient texts may come to an end from this moment on. From now on, at least under Qiusi, in Guanzhong Sanfu, and in the places where Qinglong Temple can influence, there will be no so-called ancient texts and modern texts. There are only serious and correct interpretations of literature.

On the one hand, the stubborn schools in Shandong were slow to respond, and on the other hand, they placed their hopes on others, either the emperor or Cao Cao. However, in fact, in the Shandong court, there were constant disputes and various interests could not be unified. , had no time to take into account the improvement and development of the scriptures, so that these Shandong Classics factions could not get the support and help they hoped for, which ultimately led to the current overall backwardness.

Survival of the fittest and seeking development in survival is an eternal truth.

If you can't even survive, how can you talk about happiness or development?

Classical literature affects national policy, and national policy affects the power and interests of intellectuals. However, when the interests of intellectuals are damaged due to national policy, the most correct way should be to find the cause from the root, improve classical literature, and let classics adapt to it. National policy, instead of sacrificing the basic and the weak, and using the power and interests of the elite to fight against the national policy. The best result that can be obtained in the end is that both sides will suffer losses.

The two disasters caused by the party's imprisonment have proved that confrontation cannot actually achieve the desired results, and often can only worsen the situation.

Internal friction has always been an important factor leading to the decline of empires.

The theory of orthodox and correct explanations put forward by General Fei Qian of the Cavalry not only took the Confucian classics system out of the original vicious circle of proving each other's lies, but also expanded the circle that was originally limited to "Confucian classics" and expanded the entire Confucian classics circle to In terms of annotation, as long as they have the ability and unique insights, anyone can annotate the classics, instead of trying to steal the classics and then change them into their own...

If you want to survive, you must change yourself and adapt to the current situation, otherwise you will eventually be eliminated.

If we want to ensure the interests of the elite, we must look further ahead, take the initiative to adapt to the development of the country, improve Confucian classics, adapt the improved Confucian classics to changes in national policies, and then gain greater benefits from the development of the country. Interests.

After Sima Hui announced that the Qinglong Temple's Great Treatise on Right Interpretation was a complete success, and published a series of lists of books on the right and correct explanation, many Confucian scholars present more or less understood the truth. Now the old The decline of the Confucian classics system, that is, the Confucian classics system such as the prophecy theory is stubborn and self-contained. The decline of the Confucian classics system has become a fact. If you can't keep up and make the right countermeasures, then you will be the one in the future. What they have learned is passed on to the next generation, and the next generation may not be able to compete with most reformist schools of thought.

Therefore, adjusting one's own concepts and adapting to the changes of the times became a new path and a new world that appeared in the minds of these disciples of the gentry.

However, some people still expressed concerns.

Because the number of people in the old Confucian classics system in Shandong undoubtedly occupies the majority, it will undoubtedly take time to bring about an earth-shaking change in the concepts of all Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty.

But more importantly, the future imperial court, or the future emperor, will continue to support the improvement of new classics...

In other words, if the Hussars General comes in the future...

Or to take a step back, only if the general Hussar continues to control the power, at least to maintain the current territory, and the emperor is still a decoration, then the new reform of Confucian classics will further expand and develop. If the Hussar will fall soon , then it is very likely that the old classics system will fight back again, just like the disputes between modern and ancient texts before the Han Dynasty.

Fei Qian knew in his heart that this was just a simple psychology. As long as he established an early advantage, starting from today, from the time when these gentry children began to accept the new system of Confucian classics, the pace of improvement in Confucian classics would not stop. Because every bit of energy and every bit of time invested since today’s Zhengjie Dalun will become the cost attached to the newly improved Confucianism, eventually driving everyone to move in a new direction.

Nowadays, Fei Qian no longer needs to personally write marginalia for Qinglong Temple's lectures. Now, both Fei Qian and Qinglong Temple's lectures have gained a certain reputation, and from a certain perspective, Fei Qian In fact, the more open the relationship between Qian and Qinglong Temple is, the more beneficial it will be.

Therefore, Feiqian did not attend the closing ceremony of the Right Answer at Qinglong Temple this time. Even Pang Tong didn't go, he just went to a few counselors from the Council of Laws as official representatives.

"Shi Yuan, this time Pang's theory is not among the most serious and correct solutions..." Fei Qian said to Pang Tong standing aside, "I hope Shi Yuan will bear with me..."

Pang Tong laughed and said, "This is a false name!" Could it be that my lord thinks that I want this fame? 』

Fei Qian slightly arched his hands, while Pang Tong returned the gesture and ignored the matter.

Although Fei Qian knew that Pang Tong didn't care about this, Fei Qian couldn't just say a word.

This is a matter of attitude.

For most people, this is like a tricycle that is entirely at fault for crashing into a luxury car. The luxury car can reduce or reduce the tricycle's compensation, but the tricycle cannot say that if you have the luxury car, you don't have to pay compensation.

The same is true for Pang Tong. He doesn't care about false fame, but it can't be said that everyone in the Pang clan doesn't like fame. Therefore, Fei Potential gave an attitude, and Pang Tong naturally had an excuse to explain to his clan members.

While the two were talking, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor, and then Fei Zhen ran out of the back hall and ran into the hall. Only then did she realize that there was not only Fei Zhen in the hall. Qian and Pang Tong were also sitting aside.

"Uh... I have seen my father..." Fei Zhen felt a little embarrassed, then she also saluted Pang Tong, "I have seen Uncle Shi Yuan..."

"Um. Pang Tong smiled and pinched his beard. He didn't look displeased because of Fei Zhen's sudden intrusion. Instead, his eyes fell on the manuscript in Fei Zhen's hand. "Did the prince write any good articles?" 』

"Ah, exactly. ” Feizhen quickly handed the manuscript in her hand to Fei Qian, “My child has figured it out! The waters of the Jingwei River, ancient and modern texts, and theories of merit and demerit, all three have the same understanding! 』

Fei Qian took the new version from Fei Zhen's hand, which was probably "I'll kill you without revising it again and again." While flipping through it, he said, "Tell me about it..."

"Yes, Father..." Fei Zhen cupped her hands, and then said with some pride, "The water of Jingwei is clear if it is clear, and turbid if it is turbid. It is not water, but determined by humans." Modern and ancient texts, merits, demerits, rewards and punishments are all like this! What is pure and turbid, what is ancient and modern, what are merits and demerits, all arise and are determined by the people of the world! 』

"The Jing water is turbid and the Wei water is clear. The difference between clear and turbid water is only the difference between Jing and Wei. What if other waters are clear and turbid in comparison?" ” Feizhen’s voice was very clear, “What is pure is pure, and what is turbid is turbid. It is absurd to seek to make it extremely pure, or to say that it is extremely turbid!” There is no such thing as pure or turbid in the world. It is only because of comparison among people that they can be divided into pure and turbid! Therefore, what is pure may not necessarily be pure, and what is turbid may not necessarily be turbid. The theory of purity and turbidity is just like the ancient and modern scriptures! The scriptures were passed down by the sages of ancient times to eliminate the ignorance of the people and enlighten the wisdom of the people, which cannot be understood by just one person. The water from the Jingwei River is not for one person to use for irrigating crops or washing away filth! Therefore, they are the same! 』

"good! Pang Tong clapped his hands and praised, "Your Majesty, this theory is better than countless mediocre scholars!" 』

Fei Qian also smiled and nodded, "It's indeed good...but, based on this alone, it can only be called good, not wonderful." what else? I think there are still some things you haven’t said yet..."

Feizhen was a little stunned, then she was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "There are indeed some... I don't know if it's right or not... so the child is not written on it..."

Fei Qian nodded and said, "You might as well come and listen." 』

Fei Zhenba smacked her lips, as if she was savoring what she was about to say, and then spit out two words, "Measurement." 』

"How big is your belly?" ” Fei Qian didn’t hear clearly.

"Measurement, the same as the number of instruments, the same measurement." ” Fei Zhen corrected, “The water of Jingwei can be divided into clear and turbid water, scriptures can be divided into ancient and modern times, merits and demerits, rewards and punishments, and big and small are all measured. The water of the Jingwei River should not be clear or turbid; the scriptures should not preserve the present and the past; the distinction between merit and demerit should not be based on the big or small... The key here is measurement. Weigh it evenly, measure it correctly, and adjust the importance..."

"When Xiao was civil and military, the Huns were powerful, and the Jingshui Horse Garden was thirty-six to respond... During the time of Xiao Guang and Wu, people's hearts were in chaos, and prophecies were prophesied to revitalize the thirteen states to gather them..." Feizhen said slowly, "Jingshui is turbid. , prophecy and chaos, all have causes and consequences, there are migrations from time to time, things change, what is right first, what is wrong later, take advantage and avoid harm, or measure the light and abandon the heavy, this is the measure. The so-called purity and turbidity, ancient and modern, merits and demerits, are all superficial, but in reality they are measured! 』

Fei Qian raised his hands and applauded, "This is a wonderful statement!" 』

Pang Tong also praised him.

Fei Zhen was so excited that her face turned red, and then her eyebrows started to dance with joy.

The three of them laughed for a while, and Fei Qian suddenly asked Pang Tong: "Shi Yuan, if this is the plan and you are asked to write it, how would you write it?" 』

"Merits or demerits?" Pang Tong raised his eyebrows, then glanced at Fei Zhen.

Fei Qian nodded slightly.

Pang Tong rolled his eyes twice, then smiled and said: "What if I were to write it... In addition to what the prince said, maybe I would add one more word..."

"One word?" Feizhen was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

Pang Tong pinched his beard and squinted his eyes, "That's the word "use". 』

Feizhen frowned, looking thoughtful.

"The rushing water of Jingwei River reflects the number of heroes from ancient and modern times." Counties and counties in the world, how many majestic palaces have risen and fallen? Pang Tong laughed and said, "See the appearance of the pure and the turbid, know the difference between the past and the present, understand the principles of merit and fault, and then go about the world, display your ambitions, distinguish the pure and turbid, integrate the past and the present, and calculate the merits and faults!" If it only exists between rulers and tablets and is not allowed to cross the street, then it means that it understands the principles of the world, and how much gain does it have? Therefore, in my opinion, since the prince knows this principle, he should think more about this word... and use it..."

In fact, to be honest, Fei Zhen is already very good at being able to figure out what she said before, but what Pang Tong said is also very important. Just like having opinions without suggestions is just like being a hooligan. Talking without practice really means nothing. use.

Many people understand this principle, but few actually use it. No matter what you say, you know everything, and you understand everything, but it may not be truly clear. Only when you actually do it can you say you truly understand.

After Pang Tong finished speaking, he glanced at Fei Qian again. When he saw Fei Qian smiling and nodding, he shook his eyebrows, like a pheasant shaking its crown, and straightened the hanging belt so that he could have some free time. looked at Feizhen.

In fact, it felt good for Pang Tong that Fei Zhen could express it to the same level as before, but it seemed that Fei Qian's meaning required higher requirements, so Pang Tong extended it a little bit.

Fei Qian smiled, then took Fei Zhen's manuscript in his hand, and said to Fei Zhen: "In addition to what Shi Yuan just said, let me teach you one more... You must not only look at it head-on, but also Know how to look at it from the other side..."

Fei Zhen watched Fei Qian turn the manuscript in his hand to the back, and was stunned for a moment, "The other way around?" 』

Fei Qian nodded and said: "For example... well, regardless of merit or demerit, the Han Dynasty has been constantly attacking each other with the Xiongnu since the founding of the dynasty. The Han's killing of the Huns can be regarded as merit, but if we compare it with the Xiongnu, The death of the Xiongnu will definitely not be due to merit. Another example is that on the side of Chang'an and Weinan, there are twelve slave camps. They work hard all day long, but their clothes can only cover their bodies and their food can only satisfy their hunger. What should be said about these merits and demerits? As the Art of War goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in a hundred battles. Those who the Han desires will mostly be harmed by the barbarians. If I want to take it, they will interfere with it. If you follow the rough and superficial method, it will be like Jingwei, the pure and the turbid are in conflict with each other, and they will still be divided into two parts. If you follow the path of thoroughness, it will be like ancient and modern times, with serious and correct interpretations, integrated into one..."

"If you feel that such things in the world are quite far away..." Fei Qian smiled and changed to a calmer tone, "Then your sister came to play with you today, but you scolded her and left in tears. ...Is this possible? 』

Feizhen was stunned and lowered her head, "There is something about it." 』

"Isn't this the same thing? Fei Qian said with a smile, "You think your writing is important, and your sister thinks playing is important, and then you bully the younger ones and scold them, no matter how your sister feels... If your sister has a chance that day, for example, if you get sick When you are in trouble, can you bully the weak in turn and ruin your books and articles? 』

"This..." Feizhen was speechless.

The matter of merits and demerits is actually closely connected with the buttocks. Where the buttocks are, merits and demerits have their place.

"This is you and your sister. What if more people come in?" Fei Qian continued to say with a smile, "For example, me, your mother, your second mother-in-law... and some more people?" How do you, Uncle Shi Yuan, your Uncle Zi Chu, and everyone in the yamen of the Hsiaoqi Mansion plan to care about each other? The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy is not really just two people! 』

Fei Zhen swallowed.

"But today's article is really good. Fei Qian handed the manuscript to Fei Zhen with a smile, then patted Fei Zhen on the shoulder, "Go and apologize to your sister, then play with her for a while, and then tell her what to do next time." ...Remember, you must apply the principles in this article to..."

Feizhen lowered her head and took the manuscript, "I understand, kid." 』

After watching Fei Zhen accept the praise and endure some blows, she bowed and left in her normal state after positive and negative offsets, Fei Qiancai and Pang Tong looked at each other and smiled.

Who told Feizhen to intrude so rudely just now? If Fei Zhen could behave more calmly, Fei Qian would not have those subsequent indiscernible beatings. If you want to achieve great things, you must have calmness. So where does calmness come from? Isn't it "cultivated"?

After laughing, Fei Qian said to Pang Tong, "I'm in a good mood today. How about inviting Shi Yuan to have a drink with me?" It just so happens that we also talk about Kong Ming’s letters..."

Pang Tong laughed and said that he had been coveting Qiangzhou for a long time, and then said, "What did Kong Ming's letter say?" 』

"Most common things in Sichuan and Shu..." Fei Qian said slowly, "But there is one thing that deserves attention... Kong Ming said that Wuling Man sent envoys to Sichuan and wanted to borrow troops to capture Nanjun... Shiyuan, what do you think? How is this going? 』
