Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 2475: Ideological controversy

Speaking of this, Meng Chang twitched the corner of his mouth: "Even Xiang Jing, a crude embryo, is already literate. Our old brothers and nephews may not be younger than aristocratic children in literary talent. Haven't you heard of it? Fatty Liu proposed to open an official school, to attract heroes and nephews to study culture, and he is also planning to select a large number of Confucian students to serve as doctors and sacrifice wines. Xi Le, Qiu has culture, and the family will be afraid!"

Liu Yi laughed: "I think this kind of official school will not go to the children of the aristocratic family. They have a collection of books and elders. Even their mothers and maids are full of poetry and books. The nephews of the educators have no questions. . Moreover, the noble families of the aristocratic families advocated pure discussion of metaphysics. In the past Confucianism, whether it was the modern classics or the ancient classics, they were all despised. If you want to use Confucian scholars and practice official studies, I'm afraid it will be a joke."

Meng Chang sighed, "Xile Xile, do you really fail to see the intention of Jiu and Fatty's move?"

Liu Yi's face changed slightly: "What's the point? I can't feel it all of a sudden."

Meng Chang shook his head: "Qing talks about what are these things? That is what the aristocratic family world, when the monarchy is weak. Since the founding of Nandu in the Great Jin Dynasty, the emperor's power has been given away, and the aristocratic family is in control of the power, so it advocates the way of Huang Lao. Metaphysics evolved. Emphasizes the freedom of individuality and returns to the basics, while opposing the power of the court and the emperor, because as long as it is an empire, there must be rule, management, and control and drive over people. This is exactly what the aristocratic families did not want of."

Speaking of this, Meng Chang paused: "This is how our organization came from? The early Mafia predecessors secretly established this organization in order to resist Cao Cao's criminal name killings. It is said that the earlier origins date back to the Spring and Autumn Period. The Mohist school of the time is also independent of the reality of the monarch, pursuing unfettered freedom. Therefore, metaphysics is a theory that opposes the concentration of power by the monarch, governing the people, and building merits. It is also born to serve the aristocratic family of virtual monarchs and real power. ."

Liu Yi laughed: "I haven't really studied this aspect, but I heard you say that, it's true. Back then, Sima Yao wanted to reinvigorate the imperial power, and when he was in charge, he used to recruit a group of people. As for the Confucian students, I remember that it was led by the master of classics and his emperor Fan Ning, and Yin Zhongkan was also a famous Confucian student at the time. As a result, with the death of Sima Yao, Fan Ning was written by the White Tiger King Xun through Sima Daozi. He was demoted to a foreign post, and then he was accused of private Confucianism and sacrifice to the family temple. He was dismissed again for the people. As for Yin Zhongkan, he was also killed by Huan Xuan. The Confucianism and ethics of the year were just like that. ."

Meng Chang smiled slightly: "You are really clever, you can make sense at one point, yes, you have to use Confucian classics to restore imperial power, because Confucianism is about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and respect for kings and barbarians. If you want to do nothing, the aristocratic family means clear talk. Xuan, Huang Lao’s Tao, on the surface, this is an academic dispute, in fact, it involves a fundamental issue of the founding of a country. Sending slaves is to do a major thing, and those who make achievements in the Northern Expedition must concentrate the resources of the whole country. The name of the emperor uses all the power and resources of the people. Under this circumstance, Confucian classics must be strongly advocated and the metaphysics of Huang Lao must be suppressed. On the surface, the school was built to win over the heroic children of the eight brothers in Beijing. They have the opportunity to go to school and are educated, but in fact, it gives Confucian scholars a chance to come out as officials and do things!"

Liu Yi's heart moved: "You mean that Jinu wants to dominate the thoughts of future officials? Let them think about it with their own hearts?"

Meng Chang sighed: "The things Tao Yuanming is doing now, desperately spreading rumors and inciting civil commotion, is nothing more than trying to divide the relationship between the people and the country, making them feel that the existence of the country is harming them. This is the way of the old man. The ideological origin of the so-called unified powerful king is the greatest harm to the people. It is best to return to a small country with few people, no king and no army, so that the world can be peaceful and the people can be happy. In fact, we all know that Even monkeys and pigs have heads. It is impossible for people to have no ruler."

Liu Yi laughed: "So, Ji Slave wants to engage in this official school. Let us children of the Beijing Eight Brothers accept the concept of loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, and respect for the king and fight against the barbarian, and then gradually let everyone in the world accept this. As a result, everyone can accept the integration of family and country, and the fundamentals of Huang Laozhi's theory will be self-defeating?"

Meng Chang nodded: "In the early years of the Han Dynasty, when Wenjing ruled, he used Huang Lao's way. Because the country was first established and the people's livelihood was declining, it needed rest and rest, and was unable to fight on a large scale. But after decades of accumulation. , The national power is prosperous, and the people are prosperous. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a very promising king. After he came to power, he reused Confucian scholars, abandoned a hundred schools, and respected Confucianism. He completely abolished the old ways of Huang and Lao, and then quickly gathered Chinese power and battled everywhere. , So there is the merit of Wei Huo, Le Shi Yanran."

"And Ji Nu, obviously wants to take this step. What Tao Yuanming has to do is to manipulate public opinion. UU Read www.uukanshu.com messes up Jiangbei to oppose his Northern Expedition, and his counterattack is to organize an official school. Re-use Confucian scholars and talk about loyalty and filial piety. In this way, the family can be suppressed in the short term and win the Beijing eight. In the long run, it can establish the rules of centralization and loyalty to the emperor and the country."

"In other words, he wants to completely end the soil of the aristocratic family from the ideological point of view. Xi Le, if you don't oppose the slavery set, then it is best to start to distance yourself from the aristocratic family now. Because in the future The person in power will not be the current aristocratic family, but will be the Beijing Eight Brothers and the emerging Confucian classics, a family like the Xie family, may once again abandon Xuan and enter the classics and re-enter Confucianism!"

Liu Yi sighed: "Fortunately I found you today and talked about it. Otherwise, I still don't know how to deal with the slaves. When I was wasting time here for Liu Tingyun, people had already done such a major event. Yanda, do you mean that you want me and Ji slave to put aside the dispute and join forces temporarily to defeat these aristocratic families together?"

Meng Chang twitched his mouth: "This is why I can't put this matter on the Mafia meeting, but I want to tell you here alone. Because the black hand is to safeguard the interests of the family and the world, but now the world is about to change. It’s really hard to say how long the aristocratic world can last. You and I are all people who want to make contributions. That’s why I want to go to the Shogunate again with you today. I think it’s time to disclose our organization to Jinu. Exist, it's time to sit down and negotiate the future."
