Peerless Pirates

Chapter 348 Boating on the River

The river is long and has left many touching poems since ancient times (the latest chapter of returning to the Tang Dynasty to become emperor). Du Fu's "Er Cao and his name will be destroyed, but the Yangtze River will not waste the eternal flow." "The boundless falling trees will rustle, and the Yangtze River will not be exhausted.

"Rolling in." Li Bai's "The shadow of the lone sail in the distance is gone in the blue sky, and only the Yangtze River can be seen flowing in the sky."

Of course, the most touching thing is Su Dongpo's song "Niannujiao·Chibi Nostalgic", which tells the story of the rise and fall of history with the sentence "Go to the east of the Yangtze River and search for all the famous figures of the ages."

Sitting at the bow of the boat, Song Zheng and Wei Buzhou drank fine wine while admiring the smoke of the river.

All kinds of poems and humanistic allusions that fit the occasion were easily picked up. Wei Buzhou was certainly a well-educated scholar, and Song Zheng had been living in poverty for ten years. When the two of them talked about it, they just met their opponents and were about to meet talented people.

Happy.

Song Zheng followed Wei Buzhou out of Liyang City, came to the river, and boarded a seven or eight-foot long boat. Without even raising the sail, the boat sailed down the river and floated downstream. On the boat, except

Apart from Wei Buzhou's steward and four sailors, he had no other entourage.

Regarding Wei Buzhou's identity, Song Zheng already knew it when he was in Liyang City. Song Zheng, who had a good ear, listened to the discussion of the group of scholars. The old man he was looking at was none other than the former Jiangning

Wei Bu, the chief professor of the liberal arts college, was born in the Wang family in Xuancheng.

Mr. Zhou is the father of Wei Tong, the general magistrate of Licheng whom Song Zheng met when he was in Shandong. Wei Buzhou is considered one of the most famous scholars in the world today, but because he adheres to traditional Confucianism, he is not used to Neo-Confucianism.

However, he was dismissed from office by Prime Minister Huang Yuandu.

When Wei Buzhou was engaged in learning, he loved to be more serious, and he loved to inquire into everything and find out the original meaning (the latest chapter of the online game Blood Eye Legend). This is not to say that Wei Buzhou is conservative, but that he made learning relatively pure and opposed

Modern people have tampered with the original meaning of the ancients due to political needs, especially several Confucian classics.

Song Zheng himself still respected scholars like Wei Buzhou. However, scholars were obviously not suitable for participating in political struggles. Mr. Wei Buzhou did not have this awareness and was dissatisfied with Huang Yuandu's blind respect for Neo-Confucianism. Even those Neo-Confucianists

He was also excluded by Wei Buzhou. Naturally, Song Jue was not spared. Now, Wei Buzhou aggressively attacked Song Jue.

"'Heavenly principles will always exist, and human desires will be destroyed.' Tell me, isn't this nonsense?" Wei Buzhou picked up two peanuts, peeled them off with familiarity, threw them into his mouth, picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

He said, "Little brother, Meng Ke said that 'food and sex are the same thing'. If all human desires were eliminated, then people would not even need to eat, and there would be no need to breed offspring."

"The laws of nature always exist, and all human desires are destroyed" is the content of Song Jue's "Neo-Confucian Justice". Wei Buzhou criticized his own Lao Tzu, but Song Zheng was not able to respond. At the moment, Wei Buzhou does not know Song Zheng's identity.

, Song Zheng also simply introduced his surname.

Song Zheng said nothing more. Fortunately, Wei Buzhou just saw Song Zheng and asked him to talk to him. He had someone to talk to, but he didn't go into details about Song Zheng. Of course, he didn't introduce himself in detail.

Tell Song Zheng that his surname is Wei.

Song Zheng deeply believed in Wei Buzhou's views. However, as a later man, he naturally saw it much more profoundly than Wei Buzhou. Whatever a dynasty advocated, it all served the politics itself. Understand this

With a little knowledge, you can look at problems beyond the knowledge itself. Therefore, Song Zheng never dwells on which point of view is correct or not. He looks at these things completely from an outsider's point of view, which can be regarded as a kind of detachment.

Wei Buzhou criticized it for a long time. Seeing that Song Zheng just smiled and nodded without replying, he couldn't help asking, "Little brother, you must have read Song Xishan's "Neo-Confucian Justice". What do you think?"

Song Zheng nodded slightly, "I wonder if the old gentleman has ever heard of a saying, 'Existence is reasonable.'" Song Zheng secretly laughed. Wei Buzhou had never heard of Hegel's famous saying. He continued, "

Since "Neo-Confucianism and Justice" is regarded as the standard by today's students, there must be a certain truth. If it is just a work that deceives the world and steals its reputation, even if the imperial court recommends it, it will not be popular in the world."

"Existence is reasonable?" Wei Buzhou showed a thoughtful expression (the latest chapter of the Poison Kiss Mask Silver Demon).

Song Zheng nodded and continued, "Everything is changing, and nothing is eternal. For example, when the word 'Confucianism' was first born, it was just an industry that specialized in doing funerals for others. As soon as the saint came out,

Confucianism began to exist. After the saints,

There are Yasheng, Xunqing, and Han Changli in the Tang Dynasty. They all come from the same line. However, upon closer inspection, everyone has different opinions. They are all closely related to the historical situation at that time. In the same way, since the Song Dynasty, Neo-Confucianism has become popular. Naturally,

It is also extremely necessary.”

Wei Buzhou had never heard of such a high-level view, and he immediately looked at the young man in front of him in surprise. Song Zheng didn't take it seriously, and continued, "In fact, the current situation in the world is comparable to that of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. Dong Zhongshu deposed Bai Bai

The family only respected Confucianism, but now they only respect Neo-Confucianism. However, don’t you think the current method is much gentler than that of Emperor Wu?”

Wei Buzhou was attracted by Song Zheng's words and nodded repeatedly. Song Zheng softened his expression and said, "The old man has profound knowledge and pursues the original meaning of Confucianism. This is certainly true. However, it may not be practical for today's world. I don't know, old man.

Have you ever thought that the popularity of Neo-Confucianism would have unintended benefits for the stability of today’s world?”

"Are there any benefits?" Wei Buzhou was confused. He only felt that Neo-Confucianism suppressed people's thoughts and imprisoned their minds. He really couldn't think of any big benefits.

Song Zheng couldn't help but want to enlighten this old gentleman, "Neo-Confucianism discusses kings and ministers and regards them as the laws of nature and ethics. Neo-Confucianism is widely practiced in the world, and anyone who goes against the principles will be punished by the world."

Some words do not need to be said clearly. The current emperor Qi Mingzong Pang Ying is only fourteen years old, one year younger than Song Zheng. Pang Hui and Huang Yuandu hold the military and political power, which can be regarded as the weak king and the strong minister. Fortunately, Pang Hui and Huang Yuandu are two

People restrain each other, and although they desperately strive for power and gain, they are unable to help each other, and a balance is reached.

Huang Yuandu was Qi Mingzong's grandfather. No matter how courageous he was, he would not dare to change the Pang surname in the world. But Pang Hui was different. If the Pang Hui family was the only one, they would inevitably dethrone his nephew and become the emperor himself. Huang Yuandu advocated

Neo-Confucianism, and the leader of Neo-Confucianism

Self-proclaimed, of course, has the effect of improving his status and stabilizing his rule, but it also reminds Pang Hui to pay attention to the principles of monarch and ministers. After all, Pang Hui controls the military power and rebels, which is easier than Huang Yuandu (the equipment of the other world is strengthened)

Expert latest chapter).

Although Wei Buzhou immersed himself in learning, as the former chief professor of Jiangning Academy of Arts, he still had a basic political vision. In fact, Wei Buzhou stayed in Jiangning for many years, and he is still in Jiangning instead of returning to his hometown of Xuancheng.

Song Zheng's attention to current affairs was unparalleled.

Mr. Wei nodded and said, "The Song Dynasty was founded, and brothers succeeded each other. The sound of axes and the shadows of candles have not been repeated in our Daqi. It is a blessing for our Daqi."

Song Zheng's expression suddenly changed and he did not dare to say anything. According to historical legend, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin failed to pass the throne to his son, but was taken away by his younger brother Zhao Guangyi. Many unofficial histories record that Zhao Guangyi killed his brother. This is "

The sound of the ax and the shadow of the candle."

As for the imperial coup that took place in Da Qi ten years ago, Song Zheng knew everything from Ming'er. Pang Hui and Huang Yuandu conspired to kill Qi Gaozong. Pang Hui was Qi Gaozong's younger brother, but he did not follow Zhao Guangyi's example in seizing the throne for one reason.

It was Pang Hui at that time

We have not yet gained absolute control over the military power, and Han Zhong and other old commanders are still alive. Second, Huang Yuandu's restraint prevented Pang Hui from ascending to the throne. Third, Pang Hui had no children. Even if he became emperor, a hundred years later, he would still be in power.

It must be passed on to the nearest relative with the Pang surname.

Although this period of history is extremely secretive, Qi Gaozong died suddenly when he was only forty years old. Even the prince at the time, Pang Liangying's brother, and Ming'er's brother Pang Yan were not spared. How could there be no discussion among the people? Although people didn't

We know what happened in the palace, but people also have the simplest judgment standard, that is, who wins

Who did it? Huang Yuandu and Pang Hui were the biggest beneficiaries, so they were naturally the subjects of suspicion. In the first few years when the little emperor Pang Ying came to the throne, there were indeed a lot of discussions, but Huang Yuandu and Pang Hui were known for their toughness.

The high-pressure measures suppressed all these. In the past few years, the situation has stabilized, and this kind of discussion has gradually become less and less.

Now, Song Zheng did not expect that Wei Buzhou would actually bring it up directly in front of him. If someone really listened to this and reported it to Huang Yuandu or Pang Hui, Wei Buzhou would be regarded as a sin of the Yi people.

Seeing Song Zheng's change of expression, Wei Buzhou smiled and said, "Little brother, it's just the two of us here. Even if other people on the boat heard it, they wouldn't know what we said. Don't worry about it."

Song Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, and quickly changed the subject and said, "We have Jin in the north of our Qi Dynasty, Xixia in the northwest, and Shu in the southwest, and they all have the intention of making our Qi Dynasty. Fortunately, the new emperor of Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Yusheng, was sent to the former dynasty.

Wan Yan Yong rest and health care

We must make a strategy to stop the spread of the disease and be at odds with the old Xixia emperor Li Renxiao. Otherwise, if Jin and Xia unite, Xia and Shu will collude. When the three families are united, we will be able to cope with it for a while."

Wei Buzhou glanced at Song Zheng in surprise again, "When I first met my little brother, I thought you were extraordinary. I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. You are really young and have great ambitions!"

"Made the old gentleman laugh."

Wei Buzhou waved his hand, "There were rumors last year that Dajin had the intention to go south. Unexpectedly, things have turned around, and now the world is peaceful again, but I don't know how long this world peace can last. If Daqi is still where it is now

I’m afraid it will be difficult to deal with the situation.”

"The old gentleman is also a man who has the world in mind," Song Zheng said sincerely. Without waiting for Wei Buzhou to be modest, Song Zheng thought for a moment and continued, "Now that your Majesty is getting older, I heard that he has read poetry and books since he was a child. He is extremely smart and will rule personally in the future.

, he must be a wise king."

"Mingjun?" Wei Buzhou smiled.

Song Zheng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this emperor, who was one year younger than him, was a little fool?

Seeing Song Zheng's confusion, Wei Buzhou said, "To be honest, little brother, my surname is Wei, and my nickname is Buzhou."

Song Zheng pretended to be surprised, stood up quickly, cupped his hands and said, "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Buzhou, I am really lucky." But in his heart, he couldn't help but want to slap himself on the head. Wei Buzhou acted as

The chief professor of Jiangning Literary Academy once went to the palace to give lectures to the little emperor, so he was naturally very familiar with the little emperor.

Wei Buzhou twirled his beard, looked at Song Zheng sideways and said, "Little brother, I think you are not an ordinary person? How can a country boy wearing stubby servant clothes have such knowledge even if he has studied for several years?

?”

Song Zheng was stunned.
