Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1912 The So-called Confucians

Doing bad things is addictive.

When I started doing it for the first time, I was unavoidably trembling and frightened, fearing that someone would catch me, and I would lose face and be punished.But as you do it, you will get used to it, and if you do one or two bad things occasionally, you don't think it's a big deal.

Like plagiarism...

Fang Jun's road to plagiarism is full of twists and turns.

From the moral bondage of guilty conscience at the beginning to the peace of mind of self-hypnosis later, the change of consciousness during this period almost represents the trajectory of a pure young man step by step towards degeneration...

Of course, this is actually a bit serious.

Anyway, those great writers whose names have lasted through the ages were either never born or never weaned. Those masterpieces have not yet been published, so it is not a bad idea to use them for yourself.Since the name can last forever, it must be a pedantic and talented person. Even if there is no one article, it must be able to create other famous articles to last forever...

Furthermore, although the chance of time travel is very small, since I can travel here, it means that there will be others like me. If I don't use those famous works, how can I guarantee that others will not use them?
Since there are always people who want to use it, why not use it yourself...

There are a lot of articles in the world to copy, today I copy you, tomorrow you copy me, copying back and forth is fun, isn't it beautiful?

*****
Hearing that Fang Jun was going to write an article and engrave it on the bluestone, Kong Yingda shook his head and sighed. The opportunity that he had won in front of the emperor to make the Confucians famous all over the world might be missed. Do you know if you can come up with another astonishing work like "Ai Lian Shuo"?
Ma Jiayun was a little surprised. With so many great Confucian scholars present, you are so unreserved. Do you really have a chest, a splendid talent and a world-class knowledge, or are you used to being arrogant and do not know the heights of heaven and earth?
The other group of old Confucian scholars were all taken aback, and then became furious.

What are you kidding? !

An old man with white beard and hair scolded unceremoniously: "The world's famous Confucian scholars gathered here to discuss and write a peerless article to pass on to future generations. It is natural for us to have differences in academics and opinions. Disputes are inevitable, but where Is it your turn to be a brat? I really don't know what to say!"

Some people echoed: "Exactly, we have studied all our lives, and the classics and meanings we have studied are not ordinary. Which one is not a long-time Confucian who wrote books and talked about it? The concubine of the house is not as weak as the crown. I am afraid that I have not read many scriptures when I grow up so old." Righteousness, it is better to be your official honestly, to serve His Majesty happily is the most important thing, it is better not to participate in such a grand event in the literary world, you are not qualified!"

……

Fang Jun squinted at this person, and asked: "It's up to you to decide whether it's qualified or not. When my official article is written, everyone can taste it and judge for themselves."

The old man with white beard and hair refused to let go: "It's ridiculous! Which one of the people present can't be your teacher? As a junior, you must know how to respect your teacher. You don't understand this rule. I really don't know how Fang Xuanling is. Taught my son!"

Fang Jun felt a little annoyed, turned his head and asked Kong Yingda: "Who is this old man?"

Old man? !
The old man with white beard and hair was blowing his beard and staring with anger. He has lived such a long time, he is full of peaches and plums, and is deeply respected by the world. No one has ever dared to call him "old man" in person. It is a great shame!
Qi said: "Zhuzi is arrogant!"

Kong Yingda also had some headaches, he knew Fang Jun's temper, and the nickname of "Bang Chui" wasn't just yelling indiscriminately, if he really went crazy, what happened today might not end well.

I had to say softly: "This is Qi Wei, the son of the country, and my father also asked him for advice back then."

The implication is that people's seniority is placed here, even if your father is here, you have to give some face, you boy, don't mess around...

Fang Jun nodded, expressing his understanding.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, but with this old guy's seniority, it seems that he really has the qualifications to question Fang Xuanling...

But being qualified doesn't mean that Fang Jun is willing to accept.

Since ancient times, the temperament of Confucianists has been roughly the same, without much change. When criticizing others, they should be benevolent, righteous and moral, gentle, courteous and frugal. Competing with the people for profit, the country will not be the country at every turn, a virtue.

He has no prejudice against Confucianism, but he agrees that after the Qin and Han Dynasties, Confucianism has completely deviated from its core and has become a tool for rulers to play with.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Confucianists even sacrificed their lives in order to pursue their own ideals.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and later in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Confucianism was completely reduced to the ruler's foot wrap, advocating for its autocratic rule. Often, the more famous the old Confucianism, the more unscrupulous it was, and the essence of Confucianism was castrated beyond recognition. They are not afraid that if they go to hell after death, they will be chopped up one by one by their grandfather Confucius!
For example, the great Confucian Zhu Xi who advocated "preserving the principles of nature and destroying human desires".

What was this great Confucian who was deeply admired by later generations of Confucianism like when he was alive?For example, taking a nun as a concubine, having entanglements with her daughter-in-law, and wanting to annex the property of the brother's family... full of stains.There may be some inaccuracies in this, but it is by no means groundless.

Zhu Xi was an official in Zhejiang, advocating his Neo-Confucianism, and there were many opponents, among whom Tang Zhongyou was the most staunch opponent.How did Zhu Xi deal with this opposition?It's not because he can't defeat him on the basis of Confucian classics. Tang Zhongyou is the mainstay of the Yongkang school who advocates the combination of righteousness and benefit, and the use of king and hegemony. Slander, retaliation.

The purpose of arresting Yan Rui, a prostitute in Taizhou, was to make Yan Rui "confess" and tell about the crime of indecentness with Tang Zhongyou, so that Tang Zhongyou could be framed. He would rather die than follow, and there was a lot of trouble, and everyone knew that even the emperor couldn't stand it anymore, and asked Yue Lin, the descendant of Yue Fei, to be sentenced to prison.After interrogation, it was found to be nonsense, and Yan Rui was released.

Yue Lin asked about her whereabouts. Yan Rui was originally a criminal and her family was punished. Now she had nowhere to go, so this talented woman wrote a poem...

"It's not love of wind and dust, it seems to be misled by the front. When the flowers fall and bloom, they always rely on the monarch of the East. If you go, you have to go, and you can live no matter how you live! If you have mountain flowers all over your head, don't ask where the slaves will go."

How desolate and helpless is this?
Not only was Zhu Xi's character bad, but the Confucianism he preached was also unpopular in the Song Dynasty, and had limited influence in the Ming Dynasty. It was the Qing Dynasty that made him shine the most brilliantly.The pockmarked emperor of the Manchu Qing saw Zhu Xi's idea, and immediately promoted it as if he had found a treasure.

Of course, although Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism was not welcomed by the mainstream academic circles during the Song and Ming Dynasties, it was by no means what people knew after that. Just to rule...

Fang Jun didn't speak, but his expression was contemptuous and disdainful.

Not long after, several Guozijian students hurriedly brought pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and Fang Jun ordered them to spread the rice paper on the flat place at the end of the stone steps, grind the ink well, pick up the brush and dip it in the ink, and the pen was like a snake, with a wave And just like that, an article leaps onto the paper.

Then, he put the writing brush in the inkstone, clasped his fists at Kong Yingda and Ma Jiayun, and said, "The boy has limited knowledge, and he wrote an essay. Please correct me, teachers. However, if this essay is not enough to be engraved on this piece of bluestone Above, then, everyone, please take a rest, don't waste your energy, it doesn't matter if you don't engrave..."

After saying that, he nodded in greeting, turned around and walked down the hillside along the stone steps.

Regardless of the scolding and scolding behind him, like a superhero, he never looked back at the explosion...

Yu Mingxue obediently followed closely behind, step by step.

The little girl is not ignorant. She has been in Chang'an for such a long time, and her ancestor Yuming often visits the great scholars, and knows the knowledge, identity, and status of these people. Her strength and demeanor are enough to make her feel admired.

Girls will always unknowingly worship the strong, even if it is only the superficial strong...

And on the stone steps behind them, beside the bluestone, a kind of old scholar was so angry that his nose was about to smoke from Fang Jun's arrogant words and demeanor!

"Zhuzi! I just don't know what to say!"

"There are countless talented and arrogant people in the world, but there has never been such an arrogant person!"

"I've spent my whole life studying, and I have countless peaches and plums, how can I be humiliated like this?"

"How did Fang Xuanling teach such a bastard son?"

"Insulting Sven!"

……

A group of Confucian scholars were so angry that they stamped their feet and cursed, but Fang Jun didn't turn his head, leaving them with a broad and unrestrained back, which made them helpless.

Apart from shouting and cursing a few times, what else can I do?

Seriously go to Fangfu to teach him a lesson?
joke!

Even though I haven't seen Fang Jun, I must have heard of Fang Jun's name if I live in this three-acre land in Chang'an.Relying on their age, qualifications, and status, these great Confucian scholars are not afraid that Fang Jun will do anything to them, but who doesn't have a few juniors who are in the officialdom?
According to rumors that this fellow has a vengeful temperament, maybe after being angry, he can't do anything to these old guys like himself, but he is very likely to take his anger on his own juniors...

Only Kong Yingda and Ma Jiayun bent over to look at the ink-stained article on the ground, shocked!
