Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 785

Chen Tao is not a small-minded person.

Even in the face of these Confucian scholars who opposed Shang Fang, he didn't think about taking their lives.

Facing Liu Chang's order, he hurriedly said: "With His Majesty's full support, no one will dare to despise Shang Fang again. Please don't get angry."

Immediately, he looked at the young man with a sluggish expression, and said with a light smile: "These Confucian scholars are still young and don't know right from wrong, and they will definitely feel extremely guilty because of today's things in the future."

Chen Tao set a step for them, but Zhao Wan seemed unwilling to accept this kindness.

He said again: "Working benefits one thing, Kanyu benefits a county, and the sage's principles benefit the world."

At this moment, Liu Chang's expression was a little bit wrong. He narrowed his eyes, and slowly looked at Zhao Wan. There was no anger or teasing on his face, and he was very calm.Noticing the emperor's face, Shen Pei couldn't help but tremble all over. He knew in his heart that His Majesty was already ready to kill.

In recent years, the contention among a hundred schools of thought has led to the increasingly powerful rivalry between the newly emerging Confucianism and Huang Lao. With the injection of Dong Zhongshu's theory, Confucianism has become more and more hostile to other schools. They hope to replace all schools of thought with their own ideas. School of thought, establish a world dominated by Confucianism.In fact, His Majesty does not object to the contention of a hundred schools of thought. His Majesty does not care about the many Confucian remarks, as long as he does not abuse His Majesty, the main thing is not to delay the important affairs of the temple.

This trend is not something that Shen Pei can suppress. His disciples are all obsessed with this inexplicable sense of mission.

Shen Pei hated Dong Zhongshu very much. He felt that the entire Confucianism would be led into an endless abyss by this man.

Liu Chang pursed his lips, looked at Lu Lu who was on the side, and was about to give an order.

But Shen Pei hastily stood in front of Liu Chang, "Your Majesty!! The minister is not effective in discipline! Please punish me, Your Majesty!!"

"Lu, blow up that guy."

Liu Chang's hand skipped over Shen Pei and pointed to Zhao Wan behind him.

Lu Lu was taken aback, and then signaled to the rest of the soldiers. Many soldiers stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Wan's hand, and dragged him into the ruins. Everyone was stunned and didn't dare to stop him. But Shen Pei's eyes were full of despair, and he wanted to say something, but it didn't carry much weight.

In fact, Liu Chang seldom kills people. Even if he faces some heinous people, he hopes to give him a chance to reform himself. However, he will not tolerate the extreme tide of Confucianism at all. If you do this, the source will start from here, and it will intensify. All scientific and technological development will be branded by Confucianism as a plaything, so that everything will gradually be blocked. At present, these trends of thought have no audience, but in the future, if there is a careless person Start to flourish?Used to kill folk technology? ?
Liu Chang can't tolerate these malignant tumors in the field of thought the most. Zhao Wan is actually not a villain, he is just a relatively stupid Confucian scholar.

But a villain can do evil in an era, but a bad and stupid thought can harm thousands of years.

Liu Chang would rather bear the notoriety of brutality himself, and would not allow such thoughts to harm later generations.

In history, Zhao Wan was dismissed from office and died in prison because of advocating exclusive Confucianism.

His approach is extremely stupid, because he thinks that Huang Lao's school can lead the big man because of the presence of the empress dowager, Dou Yifang, so he asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not to ask the empress dowager's opinion when doing things, and to hold the power alone , to suppress the Huang Lao school gathered around Dou Yifang. From a small point of view, this matter is a dispute between schools, but from a large point of view, it is to separate grandparents and grandchildren, and let the emperor do unfilial things. Confucianism of filial piety, or the censor of the Han Dynasty, how much sensation can this letter cause?Obviously, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious immediately and dismissed him, and he himself died miserably in prison.

It is estimated that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was scolding his mother in his heart. He supported you to suppress Huang Lao and share some pressure. ?

At this time, he has not yet sat in a high position, but his thoughts have begun to become extreme and dangerous.

This is something Liu Chang cannot tolerate.

Lu Lu didn't ask much about Liu Chang, and directly asked the soldiers to prepare to kill him. Lu Lu didn't care about his reputation. If the emperor asked him to kill someone, he would kill him. No matter who the person was, he would kill him. He doesn't care what the consequences are.

Just when everyone closed their eyes in horror, waiting for Zhao Wan to be blown apart.

Two young people supported an old man and walked slowly to the front of the crowd.

"His Majesty."

Fuqiubo raised his head, and looked at Liu Chang very firmly, his eyes seemed to have a sense of accountability, Shen Pei hurriedly paid homage to him, but he ignored him.

Liu Chang's cold face was a little moved, he shook his head, "Master Fuqiu, why did you come here?"

Seeing Uncle Fuqiu, Zhao Wan, who was pale and frightened, burst into tears and couldn't help shouting: "Master Zu!"

Fu Qiubo didn't go to see Zhao Wan anymore, but just looked at Liu Chang calmly.

"Your Majesty, please don't kill this man."

"Oh? What if I want to kill?"

"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. This kind of thinking is very absurd. But killing him may not end it, and it may make him stronger. It is better to hand this person over to the old minister. The old minister will definitely let this source go from here. Annihilation, such a thing will never happen again."

Liu Chang sneered, "Mr. Fuqiu, I respect you very much on weekdays, but this person, he has not admitted his mistake until now. You can't stop the person I want to kill."

"Your Majesty, the old minister will not allow you to kill this person. You don't have to. There are old ministers and others here. Why do you ask your majesty to give the old minister three days. If this matter cannot be completed within three days, the old minister is willing to die together!!"

The two young men supporting Fuqiubo at this moment are the acting kings Liu Bo and Han Anguo. Liu Bo looked at his teacher and said with some reluctance: "Father."

Liu Chang hesitated to speak, took a deep look at Uncle Fuqiu, waved his hand, and led the people away.

Looking at Liu Changyuan's back, Fuqiu Bo let out a long sigh, and then stretched out his hand to wipe his eye sockets.

Zhao Wan escaped from the murderous hand, and knelt down in front of Uncle Fuqiu, crying, "Patriarch!! I really don't deserve your help like this!! My grandson deserves to die!!"

When Fuchubo heard this, he immediately turned his head away and looked at him aggressively.

"Save you?! Why should I save you? I can't wait for you to die in front of me right now!"

"I came here today entirely because of His Majesty! I cannot allow His Majesty to bear such a bad name because of my disciple!"

"How do I teach you all on weekdays!!!"

Fu Qiubo leaned on his crutches angrily, the ground was smashed with a loud noise, everyone was terrified, and many Confucian scholars saluted and pleaded guilty.

"Your Majesty has suffered so many crimes in these years that he has achieved what he is today. It is because of these ineffective disasters like you that almost ruined His Majesty's reputation. Reputation, let Your Majesty bear the infamy of a tyrant, then I would rather blow you up first!!!"

Liu Bo immediately understood why Uncle Fuqiu wanted to stop his father so hard, and Han Anguo couldn't help but marvel at his words.

Really great Confucianism!

Han Anguo had never seen such a Confucian scholar.

Everyone was speechless, but Fuqiu Bo walked slowly in front of the ruins, asked Liu Bo to support him, let him sit down, and then looked at Shen Pei in front of him.

"You go and call all your brothers and sisters, and if you call them here, they say, I want to impart knowledge."

"Teacher, why don't you go to Taixue, here"

"Go!"

Shen Pei didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly dispatched his disciples to run around, while Fuqiu Bo was sitting here, panting, he was already very old, and he was not as healthy as Zhang Cang. , making him look extra tired.Liu Bo was very distressed, and hurriedly spread out a seat for him, but Fu Qiubo smiled and shook his head.

"Bo, how can there be a benevolent king like your father?"

"Since ancient times, those who disrespected the king have mostly died at the hands of the king, but your father will never kill because of others' rudeness to him, and never kill because of his own personal grievances. Every time someone kills, it is for the sake of the country, and it is a last resort. I would rather bear a bad reputation than wipe out the disaster for the world. For such a benevolent king, I only hate that I was born 50 years earlier than I can assist him for the rest of his life."

Liu Bo listened to Uncle Fuqiu's words, but he was a little murmured in his heart.

In this whole world, you are probably the only one who thinks that my grandfather is benevolent and kind.

He just wanted to blow up a Confucian scholar to death in public.

Fu Qiubo smiled wryly, "You can't understand, I don't blame you, you all can't understand that you don't know what a wise king you met, including that Zhang Buyi, in fact he didn't know either, but, Bo, you must imitate your father. The king kills people, not because of his own joy or anger, not because of personal grievances, but only for the great affairs of the community. In the future, if you have trouble before your reputation and society, I hope you I can imitate your father, ignore my own reputation, and do things for the world."

Liu Bo nodded his head half understanding.

However, Han Anguo seemed to be deeply touched. He looked at the old man in front of him again, and the look in his eyes was a little different.

"Oh, what a pity, what a pity."

Fuchubo shook his head, not knowing what he was regretting.

After a long time, most of his famous disciples had arrived. Everyone looked at the ruins behind him, their eyes were a little dazed, and they looked at each other, but Fu Qiubo motioned them to sit beside him. Casting a net is different. Fuchubo is following the elite route. There are not many disciples, but they are all excellent and talented.

And those Confucian scholars who used to form associations to commit crimes were sitting around these uncles at the moment, and all lowered their heads.

"At the beginning, Your Majesty once talked with me about the future of Confucianism. At that time, His Majesty said a lot of things, which made me very frightened and even angry. I felt that Your Majesty was too contemptuous of Confucianism, and even blatantly slandered it, because what His Majesty said Confucianism is completely different from what I know, to the extent that I feel scared after thinking about it, at that time, I thought it was just His Majesty's dislike for Confucianism, so I didn't think much about it."

"But now I feel a little suspicious, because the things His Majesty told me are now appearing one by one."

"Your Majesty said that Confucianism will use filial piety as a name and ritual as a shackle, and I don't think so, until there is a dispute between the ritual schools."

"Your Majesty said that Confucianism will oppose the learning of hundreds of schools and destroy the strengths of all schools. I don't think so until people like you appear."

"Your Majesty also told me a lot. I don't take it seriously to eat people with reason, or harm people with Confucianism. But now, I am very afraid, because all of His Majesty's words are coming true."

Fu Qiubo looked at the many disciples in front of him, and finally his eyes fell on Zhao Wan, "I don't object to the idea of ​​great unification, but the sage's principles benefit the world? If you don't even benefit the world, how can you benefit the world?" ?There are great Han virtuous ministers, except Zhang Xiang, there are Zhou Xiang, Chen Xiang, Xiao Xiang, who governs the world with the principles of saints? Are they not good enough? Can you do better than them? When the sages came out, how did Yao, Shun and Yu rule the world?"

"You don't know how to govern a country, don't know how to farm and mulberry, and don't know how to fight wars. You can't even compare to a woodcutter in Chang'an. What kind of virtue do you have to despise the knowledge of a hundred schools of thought?"

"If it's not non-nong, you can eat enough and have the strength to bark here? If there is no ink, where did you get the clothes on your body?"

"If you didn't have soldiers, would you be able to talk about learning here with peace of mind? If you didn't have doctors, you wouldn't be able to survive the cold winter of the previous year!"

"I can't do anything well, and I don't have any talents, but I am clamoring for the principles of saints all day long. Let me ask you, what is the truth of saints? Which saint makes you despise Baijia? It is a saint, and you must use the principles of Baijia. The sages are your teachers, follow them respectfully and learn from them, what kind of disciple are you?!"

Fu Qiubo's voice became more and more fierce. Zhao Wan dared to refute in the face of the Mohists and the emperor, but in the face of Fu Qiubo, he couldn't play his best debate at all. He was speechless and his eyes were closed.

"Since the establishment of Shangfang, how much benefit has it brought to the great man? How many people have been fed, how many clothes have been spun? How many people have been sheltered? My teacher once told me that anyone can be called a saint, even the most ordinary People can also become saints by improving themselves and contributing to the surroundings. If my teacher could see the current situation, he would hold the hands of those Mohists face to face and call them true saints!"

At this moment, everyone was in an uproar, but they didn't dare to refute.

Because Xunzi really said such a theory, the theory of everyone being a saint, denies all occupational discrimination and blood lineage discrimination, and believes that regardless of background, as long as you are willing to study, work hard, stick to your heart, and do your duty, you can become a saint.

Fuqiu Bo looked at him not daring to refute, and said loudly again: "Dong Zhongshu wants to control the knowledge of a hundred schools of thought with the ideas of Confucianism, so what he has to do is not to attack the ideas of a hundred schools of thought, but to improve the ideas of Confucianism. Let the ideas of Confucianism be able to control all knowledge, some people want to drive forward, the rope can't go in, only heard of changing the rope, never heard of changing the carriage!! This is simply absurd!! And you people, if you can Follow him, follow him to improve, I don't say anything, but you just learned the shape, you are going to show off, you think you can do something great, take the world as your mission, but you don't know, your own Actions are going to harm the whole world!!"

Zhao Wan stood up abruptly, pulled out her long sword in despair, and was about to aim it at her neck.

Everyone was shocked, and they were about to stand up to stop them, but Fu Qiubo scolded: "Kill! Kill yourself! You coward! You have caused such a bad result, and you don't want to make up for it, but want to die? Want your master?" Come with us to bear these mistakes for you?! Why did Shen Pei recruit a disciple like you?!"

When Zhao Wan heard about it, she collapsed even more, her eyes filled with helplessness.

"What should I do. How should I do it?"

Fuchubo ignored him, and in front of him, he explained his knowledge again. This time, he started his lecture from Xunzi's theory of everyone's sanctification and the theory of the nature of the universe.

It has been a long time since Fu Qiubo gave a lecture. This time, it is probably the most complete one he gave. He combined a lot of the past, present, and even the future. He discussed the development and thought of Confucianism in the future. , He and his disciples talked about the laws of change in the world, and at the end, he even began to talk about the laws of society. There are laws to be followed in the replacement of nature and the life of the people. Anyone who can find the laws in them can change them. Those who can grasp the laws of nature can discover or invent beneficial things for their own use. Those who rule the country can make the world peaceful."

"Nothing is pre-determined. The so-called revelation from heaven is nothing more than the manifestation of laws that are not known to the outside world."

"The main body of the society is with the people. Today, farmers are valued, and the ruler controls farmers, so the ruler and farmers are the top and bottom. If craftsmen are valued in the future, and merchants control craftsmen, will there be a time when merchants and craftsmen are the top and bottom? Which is more important, agriculture or the king? Business Who is more valuable than a craftsman? The king cannot make the farmer perish, but the farmer can destroy the king.”

What Fu Qiubo said combined many things, even those things that Liu Chang boasted to him just after waking up, his disciples looked at him in shock at this moment, and forgot to record it for a while.

The most shocked one was probably Han Anguo.

At this moment, he felt uneasy all over his body, as if he had been pricked by a needle. Every word of Fuchubo could hit his most sensitive place, which made him very excited.

Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with coming to Chang'an, there are many sages here, and they are countless times more powerful than myself.

When Fu Qiubo finished speaking, the disciples were not slowed down.

Liu Bo took a deep breath and saluted him, "Master's talent has surpassed all the masters I know."

"This is not my knowledge, it is your father's knowledge."

As Fu Qiubo said, Liu Bo's eyes widened. My father's knowledge? ?

Seeing Liu Bo's bewildered and unbelievable appearance, Fu Qiubo suddenly burst into tears.

Liu Bo was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Master? Why?"

Fuchubo said sadly: "I am already very old, if I die, what will your majesty do?"

ps: I'm sorry, I went out in the morning, and I thought I'd be able to go home soon, but I didn't expect to come home a bit late, and my wrist was not very comfortable.
