The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 73 See Cheng Bing's So-called Confucianism

Although it was expected, Shi Xie still did not expect that he would be so persistent in taking Shangguan Wan'er as his concubine.Now that the matter has come to this, he will naturally not come forward to beat the mandarin ducks again, he nodded, and only said that it was late at night, so he asked Shi Hui to go back and have a good rest.

"Master..." Back in the dormitory, Xiao Yao and the girls surrounded her, with a hint of obsequiousness in their eyes, which was self-evident.

"En!" Shi Hui nodded, hugged Xiao Yao, and walked to the bed.The other women, especially the two accompanying maids, have not been favored by Shi Hui so far, and they are somewhat terrified when they are lost.

If Shihui doesn't want them, then his end will be nothing more than giving them away as a singer or dancer at home.If the recipients get tired of playing, they can even resell it, and finally marrying a servant, or even a vulgar widower, is their final and most likely result.

The next day, the entire Shifu was busy, but the servants were responsible for these.Before Cai Yan and Shangguan Wan'er came, Shi Xie brought Shi Hui to the Yamen and introduced him to Cheng Bing.

"Deshu, this is Shi Hui, Shi Mou's son, and also the young patriarch of the Shi family." Shi Xie introduced Shi Hui to Cheng Bing with a smile. At this moment, he is not Cheng Bing's superior, but a man who thinks about his son. Father.

"Your son has done a lot of important things in Jiaozhi County during this time. Although Cheng has just come here, he has heard a lot." Cheng Bing looked at Shi Hui and nodded secretly in his heart: he is quite heroic, but his height is still not close. .

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, one chi was 23.5 cm, and eight chi was 188 cm. If a general did not have eight chi, he would inevitably appear a little short; if he was a scholar, he only needed to exceed seven chi.Shi Hui's height is only 173cm, which is indeed a bit short for a general. Compared with Yang Xiong's nine-foot giant, it only reaches his chest.

"It's just a small fight, making Uncle Cheng laugh!" Shi Hui hurriedly stepped forward to salute, it is said that Cheng Bing is only in his thirties this year, at most ten years older than him.But who made Shi Xie commensurate with his brother, so Shi Hui can only call each other according to his uncle and nephew's seniority.

"It's polite and polite, worthy of being a son of a famous family!" Cheng Bing nodded. It doesn't matter if you join the martial arts, the key is to have self-cultivation.If after enlisting in the army, he becomes vulgar and arrogant, then this person is nothing more than that.

"Xie taught his brothers how to learn Chinese since they were young. Only Hui'er likes to practice martial arts. Fortunately, he has not missed his homework. Recently, he has been studying "Warring States Policy" and "Spring and Autumn Classics" hard. He is also quite fond of Confucian classics. Heart, but there is no good teacher." Shi Xie praised Shi Hui fiercely, and then revealed his intention.

"Hahaha, so Brother Weiyan is waiting for me here? Well, let me test him to see how he understands the Confucian classics! After all, since I am the chief historian of Jiaozhi, I should focus on official duties, and I don't want to waste Too much time is spent on teaching." Cheng Bing replied slowly.

"Of course!" Shi Xie nodded, he can only do this part, if Cheng Bing doesn't accept it, then he has nothing to do.

If Cheng Bing can be worshiped as a teacher, then whether Cheng Bing can teach Confucian classics to Shi Hui is not a question.The key is that as long as the status is determined, then as a mentor, Cheng Bing is obliged to push Shi Hui out to gain fame for him.

For example, Zheng Xuan in the past always liked to take his disciples out to give lectures. The lectures were fake, but in fact he introduced his disciples to the local scholars to let everyone know that 'this person is my disciple of Zheng Xuan'.Over time, these disciples gained fame, and were even recommended by the local government as Xiaolian, and they were able to become officials smoothly.

For example, Cheng Bing, Sun Qian, and Guoyuan all had smooth official careers. They were divided into Wu, Shu and Wei, and they all had to be reused.

Cheng Bing was about to take the school badge test, so Shi Xie naturally didn't want to stay for long, so he found an excuse to leave. Before leaving, he glanced at Shi badge worriedly and found that he was not that nervous, so he turned and left.

"Have you ever studied "The Analects of Confucius?" Cheng Bing didn't talk nonsense, and went directly to the stage of the school examination, and he didn't intend to make things difficult for anyone, so he started with the simplest one.

"I read it when I was enlightened when I was a child, but I just felt that the division of ancient and modern sentences is a little different." Shi Hui replied that he had actually read "The Analects of Confucius" when he was enlightened, or he was forced to recite it by Shi Xie.

"What you said should be "Ancient Analects", which is the earliest Analects, but today's Analects was edited by Dong Zi, so this should prevail! Or, do you have any other opinions?" Cheng Bing asked rhetorically.

"Others, Hui doesn't know too much. He knows that the "Ancient Analects" said, "Repay grievances with virtue, why should you repay virtue, so repay grievances directly." Hui thought..." When Shi Hui said this, it was difficult to continue.

"Hahaha, it's nothing more than looking ugly and not bloody, is it right?" Cheng Bing laughed loudly when he heard the words, and before Shi Hui could answer, he said slowly, "Before the abolition of the hundred schools of thought and the sole respect of Confucianism, the big man popularized He's opinion ?”

"Old Huang's rule by doing nothing!" Shi Hui is still very clear about this.

"Chapter 63 of the "Tao Te Ching" says: No matter how big or small, repay grievances with virtue; Chapter 79 of "Laozi" says: It is a sage to hold the contract, not to blame others; can't Brother Hui see something?" Cheng Bing smiled lightly.

"For the sake of superiority, Confucianism and Taoism have been integrated?" Shi Hui suddenly understood that the most popular theory in the court at that time was Huang Lao's theory, and it had been like this since Emperor Jing.Later, when Emperor Wu wanted to conquer the Xiongnu, Taoism did not support him, and all other schools did not support him. Only Confucianism supported him. Naturally, he had to depose all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone. At the same time, in order to reduce the pressure of promotion, Dong Zhongshu obviously integrated the The doctrines of Taoism and Confucianism.

Shi Hui remembered very clearly that this was not the first time Taoism and Confucianism merged. In the Song Dynasty, Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism merged again.The three ideas permeate each other, and the ultimate goal is naturally to better serve the court and the emperor.

"It seems that Brother Hui is not stupid!" Cheng Bing nodded, "You have read the scriptures and classics, but that's just the same thing. After reading and reading, you can understand what your majesty needs through the content of the classics Such a concept is the most important thing. The growth of Confucianism is largely dependent on His Majesty, so you may not be familiar with the classics, but you must have a position. What is the specific position, Brother Hui, do you understand? !"

What is the position?It's nothing more than a political stance!Everyone is drunk and I am alone sober. Your Majesty needs the people to yearn for and learn from a gentleman, and even "the people can learn from it but not know it." Confucianists naturally need to understand what the monarch wants, and then teach these things to the outside world.It is said that Confucianism is Confucianism, but it is not necessarily an exaggeration.

The reason for the decline of various schools of thought is that they all maintain a certain degree of "independence". They try to use their own ideas to influence and change the king; however, Confucianism is directly connected with the king and used by the king. Naturally, it can only be obediently annihilated in the trend of history.

"If learning Confucian classics is only for the purpose of being an official, then what use is it for the country and the people?" Shi Hui was a little hesitant, and he didn't expect Cheng Bing, who is a great Confucian, to talk about Confucianism so utilitarianly.

"Hahaha..." Cheng Bing laughed loudly, "This, we have to start with the selection system of the big man..."

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
