Xu Qi'an couldn't believe it: "So you still have the face to call yourself a great Confucian?"

Xu Nian squatted down by the pool, washed his hands, and explained: "Great Confucianism has two meanings, one refers to a scholar with profound knowledge and reputation; the other refers to a second-grade state of Confucianism and Taoism. belongs to the former."

Bringing people's grievances to smash the luck of a country, even if the luck is weak at the end of the dynasty, it is still beyond human power.How strong is the second-rank state of Confucianism and Taoism?What about that product?

Xu Qi'an fell into contemplation for a long time, with a slightly respectful tone: "Is there a second-grade Confucianism in Yunlu Academy?"

Xu Nian shook his head and said with regret: "In the past 200 years, at most there have only been three ranks. The third rank of Confucianism is the realm of establishing life. I also heard it from the teacher when I sent off Layman Ziyang that day. The dean of our college is the third rank Liming."

Xu Qi'an's tone suddenly relaxed, and he commented casually: "Not bad."

The characters of the three old gentlemen seemed a little exaggerated and unprincipled, lacking a little calmness and seriousness.Xu Qi'an told Xu Erlang his evaluation.

Erlang pondered for a while: "They were not like this before. After the gentleman state, it is the third-rank Liming state. This may have something to do with the Liming state."

"Well, Layman Ziyang used to be like this, but recently he suddenly changed his temperament, like a different person. I heard from the teacher that Layman Ziyang is only half a step away from establishing his life."

The two brothers wandered aimlessly in the academy. Xu Xinnian took him to visit some places of interest. As a college with a long history of 1000 years, Qingyun Mountain would definitely become a tourist attraction if it were not for the ban on the entry of idlers and others to disturb the students' studies. .

"Big brother" was walking, when Xu Xinian suddenly called out in a low voice.

Xu Qi'an stopped to look at him.

Xu Nian glanced at him, turned his face away, and pretended to look around: "I thought about it for a long time yesterday. If it wasn't for you, my father would have been executed, and the female relatives would have been sent to the Jiaofang Secretary."

"If it wasn't for you, sister Lingyue would have been in danger yesterday. She might have been bullied by Zhou."

"If it weren't for you, the Xu family might still be immersed in the luck of the rest of their lives, and then one day, they would be wiped out suddenly."

After speaking, he strode forward, walked more than ten meters, and said silently: Thank you!

Yasheng School Palace.

Xu Qi'an followed his cousin up the steps, crossed the censer and entered the hall.The seven-meter-high red lacquered pillars support the dome, and the Yasheng enshrined in the academy is the founder of Yunlu Academy.

In the slender flame of the candle, the sub-sage was wearing a blue double-breasted Confucian shirt and a tall Confucian crown, with one hand behind his back and the other on his waist, looking into the distance.

Beside Yasheng was a smart and beautiful white deer, with cloud patterns faintly visible on the white fur.

Xu Nian pointed to the white deer and said, "It is the origin of the name of Yunlu Academy."

Xu Qi'an said: "Scholars are elegant, and the white deer is the mount."

Xu Nian glanced at his cousin and corrected him, "It's not the horse, it's the wife."

"!!!" Xu Qi'an re-examined Kia Sheng.

Xu Xinnian seemed to know what his cousin was thinking, and said: "It is recorded in the academy's "Yunlu Zhi" that this white deer is a demon. It sat down and listened to the scriptures when the saint sat down, and then transformed into a human, and then accompanied Yasheng. A demon has been with each other since they were young, and they have a very strong relationship, and they became husband and wife."

"The love between humans and monsters was not allowed in the world at the time. But when the sage knew about it, he didn't beat the mandarin ducks. Instead, he agreed to their marriage. The sage said: Love has no boundaries. It can be seen that as long as there is love, humans and monsters can stay together forever."

Since ancient times, there have been nicknames for the love between transvestites, such as undead knights; reckless heroes; harmony between man and nature.So, what is the nickname of this sub-sage?

A horse that refers to a deer as a horse?Xu Qi'an cupped his hands towards the statue of Yasheng.

When Xu Nian reverently paid homage to his disciples, Xu Qi'an turned his eyes around the hall, and found a stone tablet as tall as a person standing on the left and right sides of the hall.

One side is blank and the other side is engraved with writing.

He walked to the stele and read: "Repay the king's kindness on the day of righteousness and death, and his name will last forever—Cheng Hui."

The handwriting is neat, neither elegant nor scribbled nor exaggerated, giving people a sense of majesty and majesty.

"This is the sub-sage from the Imperial College who stayed here." Xu Nian came over and stood side by side with his cousin in front of the stele.

"The sub-sage of the Imperial Academy is right, I have never been very clear about the details of the grievances between the Imperial Academy and Yunlu Academy." Xu Qi'an was full of interest, with the word "eat melon" written in his eyes.

Xu Nian looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "This matter starts with the fight for the country 200 years ago."

"Struggle for the foundation of the country?" Although Xu Qi'an is a novice in history, he still knows the meaning of fighting for the foundation of the country.

The prince is the foundation of the country!

Fighting for the country is basically fighting for the position of the prince.

"At that time, Renzong was in power, and the position of crown prince had been vacant for more than ten years. The two princes were strong competitors at that time. One was the eldest son, and the other was the concubine prince born to a nobleman. That nobleman was very charming, Deeply favored by Renzong.

"Renzong planned to make the prince who was born a concubine the crown prince. At that time, he encountered opposition from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Renzong made many decrees, but they were all dismissed by the cabinet. At that time, the man who led the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty was a scholar of Yunlu Academy.

"Establishing elders but not younger ones, establishing a son but not a concubine, the rules since ancient times, even the emperor can't violate it. Brother, you are right, etiquette is a dragon-slaying technique commonly used by scholars.

"In this national battle, both sides are unwilling to admit defeat. The two sides have been seeing each other for six years. During this period, the cabinet chief assistant changed four people, and the officials in the court left one after another. The capital and localities, the officials involved As many as two hundred.

ps: The update may be late, but it will not be absent.

Chapter 43 Inscription

"Until this time, a scholar from Yunlu Academy took over the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet. He did not continue to adhere to the ideas of his predecessors, and resolutely devoted himself to Renzong's command. He solved the matter for Renzong despite the abuse. There was a lot of trouble The national struggle is finally over.

"Because of this incident, Yunlu Academy was hated by Renzong. He realized that the existence of Yunlu Academy was not conducive to the rule of the imperial power. At this time, Cheng Hui proposed to establish Guozijian, and let the court train talents by itself."

"And the decline of Confucianism also begins here."

This is the origin of the dispute between Yunlu Academy and Guozijian about Confucian orthodoxy.

Guozijian is a national university, and Yunlu Academy is a private institution, how can a private institution do better than a national institution Xu Qi'an suddenly realized.

After Xu Nian finished speaking, with the tone of a school exam, "What do you think, brother? Well, I mean the matter of fighting for the country's foundation, which has nothing to do with academics."

Is it because you feel that if it involves academics, a muddy leg like the elder brother can't answer it?Xu Qi'an complained in his heart, and said with a smile: "On the surface, it is a struggle for the foundation of the country, but it is actually a struggle for power."

"Scholars who want to display their ambitions must hold great power, and the amount of power in a country is fixed. When you hold more power, others will lose power. The highest state of party struggle is to stand on top of the emperor and become uncrowned Emperor."

Xu Nian was originally taking the school exam casually, but when he heard this, his face changed drastically.

Xu Qi'an glanced at him sideways: "Why, I'm not right?"

That's right, but you can't talk nonsense. Xu Nian took a deep breath: "Go on."

Xu Qi'an nodded: "No matter how powerful the Confucian dragon slaying technique is, the imperial power is still stronger after all. Learning literary and martial arts, you can buy it in the emperor's family. This sentence can explain everything. Since ancient times, no matter whether you are greedy or virtuous, as long as you are a powerful minister , there will be no good end."

Controlling the government is only for a while, and it will be liquidated in the end, because a courtier will always be a courtier.When Xu Qi'an studied history in his previous life, there were too many uncrowned emperors, which one would end well?

It doesn't matter if Cao A hides it, the war-torn era when the imperial power collapsed is another matter.

Xu Nian asked urgently, "Is there any way to crack it?"

What the elder brother told him, the academy would not teach.
