Chapter 905 "The Classic of Music" reappears, Confucian compromises!

The way of civil and martial arts, one piece at a time, the way of employing people, giving both kindness and power, first use the thunderbolt method to frighten his guts, and then use the policy of gentleness to appease his heart, and he will naturally be convinced... To put it simply: slap and rub three times, and then give Two sweet dates!

Utilizing the Confucian ideas of "benevolence, loyalty and filial piety", Xiao Yi used Confucian fathers to control Confucius, slapped all the Confucian scholars in the face, and suppressed the arrogance, but the harder the suppression, the greater the rebound. Xiao Yi alone It is impossible to fight against the entire Confucian school with the power of strength, only to use kindness and power together, and skillfully deal with it!

"Hehe! -Mr. Wenju, please stand up. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. If the descendants know the books and respect the rituals, the ancestors of the Kong family must be smiling!"

Amid hearty laughter, Xiao Yi jumped off his mount, and handed over the spirit card of 'Passerby A-Shu Lianghe' to show that he no longer controls it!

"Thank you, Da Sima, for your praise. The Kong family will keep in mind the kindness you received today. If you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely visit us!"

Kong Rong kowtowed and saluted again, took the ancestral spirit card with both hands, and held it tightly in his arms, but his words were not kind, full of revenge, especially in his eyes, which were even more blazing!

"If the distinguished guest is willing to come, the Marquis Mansion will sweep the couch and wait. I heard that you are very knowledgeable and talented. Recently I got an ancient book, which seems to be related to Confucianism. I hope I can teach you a thing or two!"

While speaking, Xiao Yi took out a roll of bamboo slips, dark in color and full of wormholes, it looked like a century-old ancient book, as for the characters on it, they were shaped like tadpoles, and they looked like talismans, and he didn't recognize any of them!

"This scroll of bamboo slips... Could it be... the ancestors of Confucianism!"

Kong Rong is well-read and likes to delve into ancient books. He sees ghosts in the eyes of others clearly--"Book of Music", a long-lost Confucian classic!

Confucius was diligent and studious throughout his life, and he liked to study classics: deleted "Poems" and "Books", established "Rituals" and "Music", praised "Book of Changes", wrote "Spring and Autumn"... He made an indelible contribution to the spread of Chinese civilization Contributions, these sets of books are called the "Six Classics of Confucianism", and all disciples of the disciples study hard!

God's will is unpredictable, and the world is impermanent. After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he suppressed freedom of speech and implemented a policy of ignoring the people. He killed more than 460 Confucian scholars at a time. He also stipulated that all books except for "History of Qin", medicine, and divination should be handed over to be burned. Those who keep books privately will be beheaded, those who know and do not raise them will be guilty of the same crime, and counties and counties that do not execute within 30 days will all slaughter the entire city... This is "burning books and burying Confucianism!" '

The emperor was furious, and the smoke billowed. The precious classics of various schools were reduced to ashes. However, the "Book of Music" disappeared in the disaster!

Therefore, the so-called "Six Classics of Confucianism" are actually only five books: "Book of Songs", "Book of Books", "Book of Rites", "Book of Changes", and "Spring and Autumn Annals". Unfortunately, the missing "Book of Music" did not succeed, and it became a pain for Confucianism. Never thought that "Book of Music" would reappear in the world, and it was in Xiao Yi's hands!

"Oh!...Give it to the old man... Hurry up and give it to the old man!"

Some are lustful, some are greedy for money, some are addicted to books, Kong Rong let out a roar, flew over and hugged the bamboo slips tightly in his arms, like a vicious dog protecting food!

At the same time, more than a dozen old Confucianists with white beards and hair crawled over. They put the bamboo slips in the middle and opened them carefully. , and finally confirmed that this is the "Book of Music" that has been lost for hundreds of years!

"Woooo! - Heaven has eyes, gods protect, Confucian classics, reappear in the world!"

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooish

................................................

The "Book of Music" reappeared, the six classics were complete, and the Confucian scholars suddenly boiled. Some fell to their knees, weeping bitterly, some raised their heads to the sky and screamed endlessly, and some slapped their cheeks violently. I am afraid it was just a dream... …There were still seven or eight old Confucianists who fainted on the ground. If they hadn’t been rescued in time, they would really have “heard the Tao in the morning, and died in the evening”!

When they were half happy, the Confucian scholars remembered that according to Confucian records, there were 23 chapters in the "Book of Music", and what they saw was the fourth chapter - "Le Yan". Where are the rest? It has a completely different meaning from a complete set of ancient books...

"The old masters are very grateful for the return of the classics from the Great Sima. I don't know where to find the bamboo slips. Are they intact?"

"I also hope that Da Sima will show mercy and give the remaining bamboo slips. Confucianism is willing to give everything to repay the great kindness!"

..........................................

The old Confucian scholars rushed up, surrounded Xiao Yi, bowed and flattered, respected to the extreme, and made an analogy: it used to be the vicious wolf dog who asked the teacher for his punishment, but now it is the pug who wagged his tail and begged for mercy!

"You don't need to be too polite. Preserving ancient books is your duty. You should not give a word of thanks. As for this set of "Le Jing", it was found in a ruined wall when the army was fighting. There are 23 pieces in total. !"

Xiao Yi took out the "Book of Music" just to ease the relationship, so his attitude was very kind. As for the origin of these bamboo slips, I'm sorry, he lied shamelessly!

Hundreds of years ago, Qin Shihuang ruled brutally, burned books and pitted books, and used the power of war to burn hundreds of books. It is true that all the "Book of Music" in the world was burned, but is there no more in the world?

Some time ago, ground squirrels led people to wander around. Near the ancient city of Anyi, a large ancient tomb was dug up. It was the tomb of King Wei Hui in the Warring States Period. There were a lot of funerary objects in it. In addition to gold and silver vessels, beautiful jade antiques, and There are bamboo slips in a tomb, all of which are ancient books!

Knowing that Da Sima is talented in literature and likes to collect ancient books, the ground squirrel hurriedly sent someone to deliver the bamboo slips to the Marquis of Wuchou Mansion. Xiao Yi was really happy, and asked people to clean up the bamboo slips, re-weave the cowhide ropes, and then bathe and change clothes, full of reverence In the mood, I opened the ancient book and read it. The result----I didn't know a word, and it was full of tadpoles!

The development of any kind of civilization is inseparable from characters, and the writing methods of characters are also constantly changing. In ancient times, when the wisdom of the people was first developed, people used the patterns of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, flowers, birds, fish and insects... Carved on the animal bones, forming the earliest characters, this is 'Oracle Bone Inscriptions', or 'Pictographs! '

During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the metallurgical industry was on the rise, and the nobles liked to carve some characters on bronze vessels, which were called "Jin Ding Wen". , laid the foundation of Chinese characters!

Entering the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, things became troublesome. The feudal lords fought for hegemony and continued to kill each other. Countries dominated one side and established their own civilizations one after another. The characters were also ever-changing. As a result, the same character had dozens of ways of writing, which were not recognized by each other. Communication, has brought a lot of trouble!

After sweeping the six countries, the first emperor issued a decree to strengthen his rule: the carriages are in the same track, the books are in the same text, abolishing the messy writing, and let the prime minister - Li Si, simplify the big seal script and create a small writing, with a unified writing. In the Qin system, the writing was further simplified, forming a neat and exquisite, horizontal and vertical - Han Lishu!

Xiao Yi knows simplified and traditional characters. After time travelling, he learned Han Lishu with his master, which is considered a bit of literary talent, but the complicated tadpole script is beyond his understanding. Fortunately, there is a literary lady at home who is knowledgeable. Talented, proficient in ancient books, after Cai Wenji's research, I finally identified it. One of the complete bamboo slips is the "Book of Music" that has been lost for many years. The remaining bamboo slips are seriously damaged and are still being repaired. There should be surprises !

After all, the matter of stealing graves and excavating graves is easy to talk about, so Xiao Yi told a little lie, saying that he found them in ruins. When books were burned and Confucian scholars were burned, many people used this method to preserve precious books. It's over with emotion and reason!

"The ancient books, the treasures of China, should be shared with the world. After the completion of the 'Zhengming Terrace', I wanted to display this set of "Book of Music" and other precious ancient books together, so that people can copy them at will, but..."

Xiao Yi pointed at the Zhengming Platform and touched the Flood Dragon Sword. His eyes were full of teasing intent. His attitude was very clear. He told the Confucian scholars, please be good and don't make trouble, and I will share the "Book of Music" , If you don’t listen to good advice, I’m sorry, I will complete the cause of Emperor Shihuang and start a big fire!

"The Confucian classics are extremely precious, and they must not be damaged. Just burn the old man!"

"There are other ancient books. If they are displayed together, they will definitely cause a sensation in the world. Our Confucianism will also benefit a lot!"

............................................................

The appearance of a "Book of Music" made Confucian scholars ecstatic. When they heard that there were other ancient books, their eyes turned red. For scholars, books are the most precious treasures in the world!

Ever since, Kong Rong and a dozen or so white-haired old scholars quickly gathered together. After repeated discussions and heated debates, they finally made a decision: no longer interfere with the Zhengming Platform, and allow hundreds of scholars to come out of the mountain!

Letting go of the freedom of academic theory and reappearing the contention of a hundred schools of thought is nothing more than fair competition. With the current strength of Confucianism, we are not afraid of any challenge from any school of thought. At worst, we will crush them again. What the ancestors of Confucianism can do, future generations can do the same. It's even better!

Besides, looking at the current situation, Cao Cao's attitude is tough, and Xiao Yi's tactics are clever. If Confucianism insists on opposing, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit. Pitting Confucianism' is also very possible!

"One word from a gentleman, one whip!"

"I swear by high five, I will never go back on my word!"

"Crack! -crack! -crack!"

After the discussion was settled, Kong Rong stepped forward, representing the Confucian school, and Xiao Yi clapped hands three times, making an oath: a hundred schools of thought contend, and the winner is king!

Chapter 906 Hundreds of schools come back, a major event has been accomplished!

"The way of heaven is impermanent, only virtue is the auxiliary, the emperor governs, and benevolence is the foundation. Since ancient times, the methods of governing the country have not remained unchanged for a thousand years. Tiger and wolf, if you are poor, you will change;

The great Han ruled the world for more than four hundred years. The fate of the country was late. It has been a long time. We sincerely invite hundreds of schools of thought to gather together in Xuchang City, stand on the stage of contention, and then discuss victory and defeat! "

Confucian children compromised, civil and military officials were silent, and the construction of the "Zhengming Platform" finally eliminated the resistance. From the fourth year of Jian'an to July [-], Prime Minister Cao Cao officially issued a decree in the name of the court: "Invite all scholars and hundreds of schools , came out of the seclusion, came to Xuchang City, participated in the big debate, gathered the directors of various families, and created a peaceful and prosperous world together! '

Next, the court envoys rushed to the four directions, day and night, non-stop, the cities, towns, passes, ferries, markets... and densely populated places under Cao Ying's rule, all posted notices, and specially dispatched officials, repeatedly Recite the content and inform all powerful households and common people!

Even Hebei, Jingzhou, Jiangdong, Hanzhong, Bashu... also dispatched a large number of spies to secretly spread the news, making sure that the people under the rule of the Han knew all about the government's decrees. The whole world is in a turmoil, and all people in the world cheer!

In addition, the children of hundreds of families, poor family scholars, and those who are ashamed of their pockets can go to the government for filing, and get some money, clothes, firewood and rice... to settle down in the family, so as to ensure that there is no worry about the future, and then the government will arrange vehicles and soldiers to escort the students of the hundred families , arrived at Xuchang City safely, and all expenses along the way will be borne by the imperial court, which can be said to be well taken care of!
