Self-cultivation of the traveler of the world

Chapter 157: On the Political Conference (2) Confucianism and Mohism

Xihe was originally a territory of Qin and was seized by Wei by force. Wei Wenhou knew that Qin could not conquer it by force, so he launched a cultural war.

The Xihe Academy was born under this condition.

Zixia was a disciple of Confucius. He was nearly a hundred years old when he came to Wei State, and his eyes were sick and he could not teach. Therefore, the real people who taught were his disciples, Gong Yang Gao, Gu Liangchi and others.

These two are the authors of the famous "The Legend of Gongyang in the Spring and Autumn Period" and "The Legend of Guliang in the Spring and Autumn Period".

Later, in order to control the Central Plains, King Hui of Wei moved the capital from the initial Anyi to Daliang, and the Xihe Academy also moved from the Xihe Bin to Daliang and established a Xihe Academy Palace.

The Xihe Academy was originally built in the northwest of Daliang City and occupied a wide area. Later, when the Qin State invaded, the Academy was destroyed by war.

At that time, the Xihe Academy had declined and the Wei State's national power was much worse than before. It was not rebuilt again, but built a temple in the city for the purpose of recruiting scholars.

This political conference is also held here.

The Xihe Travel Hall was rebuilt to the southeast of Daliang City, where wood and fire intersect.

The State of Wei believes that Jin is orthodox, and what is inherited is the virtue of Jin. The construction of the storehouse is also a hope that the storehouse can add firewood and help Wei regain its prestige.

This is why Long Yangjun's red outfit is also due to this.

At this time, the hotel was already crowded with noise and a group of eunuchs were leading the visitors to the side to watch the ceremony.

Scholars from all over the world had already arrived, and Gongzi Junhou had also sat down, holding a cup of tea, waiting for Ji Yanran to appear in vain.

At this time, Wang Xuebin and Long Yangjun walked in heroically, walking in with a strong momentum.

Long Yangjun walked to the front of the stage, bowed with his hands, looked solemn and said loudly:

"Everyone is polite. I, Longyang, of Wei, came to the meeting with my friend Wang Guanlan. The so-called truth is not clear. I also asked you to speak freely at this conference. Regardless of praise or criticism, I, Wei, should listen with politeness!"

After saying that, he bowed deeply and bowed to everyone.

The scholars from all countries stood up and bowed, but none of the princes from all countries moved, as if they had not seen this person.

Seeing this, Mr. Long Yang saw a hint of self-deprecating expression on the corner of his mouth, and in just a moment, he disappeared without a trace. He gave a round of salute and took Wang Xuebin to the top.

Wang Xuebin had just finished sitting, and suddenly felt a few malicious intentions coming, and frowned and looked down at his head.

Long Yangjun, who was standing beside him, saw Wang Xuebin turning his head, followed his gaze and introduced to Wang Xuebin:

"This person is Li Yuan, a disciple of Chunshenjun of Chu. He is a narrow-minded person. Why? Guanlan has an old age with him?"

Wang Xuebin shook his head when he heard this, pointed at another person and asked:

"Who is that person?"

Long Yangjun looked at the person Wang Xuebin pointed to and introduced:

"This person is a disciple of Julu Marquis of Zhao State. I don't know much about who his surname is!"

Wang Xuebin knew it, looked in the last direction, narrowed his eyes, revealing an inexplicable sense.

He knew this person in the end. It turned out to be a swordsman under Qi Guotian. He had participated in the pursuit of Shanrou. A group of sixteen people and fifteen people were slaughtered by Wang Xuebin.

Only this person was left and asked him to report to Tian Dan.

It is said that it is a report, but it is actually to use this person to track Tian Dan's whereabouts.

On the night when Tian Shan was found, there were fifteen more heads in Tian Shan's bedroom, and then Tian Shan stopped pursuing Shan Rou and others' whereabouts.

Wang Xuebin originally thought that this person would die in Tian Dan's hands, but he didn't expect that he was still alive. It seemed that Tian Dan had hidden this person's whereabouts, and he didn't know what it was.

"This person is someone under Tian Dan's sect, Guanlan knows it?"

Long Yang, who always pays attention to Wang Xuebin, discovered Wang Xuebin's strangeness, introduced Wang Xuebin's origin, and asked carefully.

Wang Xuebin nodded.

"This man has some grudges with me, but I didn't expect him to be alive!"

When Long Yangjun frowned when he heard this, he was about to ask, and the sound of bells and chimes came from the hall and the conference began.

The sounds in the field calmed down, and Ji Yanran, dressed in a well-dressed manner, walked up to the front stage with a guqin, bowed to everyone, and sat on the stage.

Ji Yanran put the guqin on the zither table, opened the golden beast incense furnace placed on the zither table, lit the sandalwood with her embroidered hands, and sat upright and focused.

After a long time, the sound of bells and chimes gradually stopped. Ji Yanran opened her eyes and sang a jade finger. A simple and clear sound of the piano came into everyone's hearts.

The sound of the piano is subtle and long, sometimes like a person's silence, sometimes like a misty cloud and mist, suddenly far away and sometimes near, and the spiritual charm is born.

The guests were fascinated by Wang Xuebin.

What he likes to listen to is popular things like Peking Opera, crosstalk, or small tunes, and he can't appreciate the guqin.

But the person who plays the piano is his friend after all, so he is not willing to give face. He can only close his eyes and imitate Long Yang's appearance, nodding from time to time, feeling addicted to the scene.

Finally, the sound of the piano faded, and everyone came to their senses and began to praise Ji Yanran's outstanding piano skills.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the peeping eyes of the young men, you will know what these people are thinking.

Only a very small number of people cannot sit upright. These people either know that they are humble or have real talents and knowledge to become famous. These people are Long Yangjun’s goal.

Ji Yanran smiled and responded to the attentiveness of the crowd, not caring about it. She had seen such eyes too much. Over the years, only two men had never looked at her with peeping eyes.

One is Long Yang Jun, and the other is Wang Guanlan!

She knew the situation of Long Yangjun very well, and the two of them used more than friendship.

She couldn't figure out Wang Xuebin.

If this person is not good at fishing, he has three wives, one is heroic, one is pure and kind, and the other is charming. Each of them has good looks.

If you want to say that you are good at fishing, Ji Yanran believes that she is the best in the world, but she has never seen a trace of enthusiasm in Wang Xuebin's eyes.

This person is civil and martial, and his elegant and peaceful appearance hides unparalleled domineeringness. Her charm makes her feel uneasy. If she hadn't been a little proud, she would have been delivered to her door.

Thinking in my heart, a pair of Qiubo secretly glanced at Wang Xuebin, and when he looked at his calm expression, he couldn't help but feel turbulent again.

She let out a faint breath, suppressed her heart, stood up, looked at everyone, and said loudly:

"In the Xiayue Ji family, Tian was the secretary of this Political Consultative Conference. This Political Consultative Conference is based on the topic of "Governance and Political Consultative Conference". You can speak freely. In the following meeting, you will compile your words into a simplified manner and spread them to the world!"

As she said that, she raised a roll of bamboo slips, signaled, gave up the front desk, and said:

"Please go on stage to preach and listen to the high opinions!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the desk beside Wang Xuebin, holding a brush in his hand, looking at a calm and respectful look.

At this time, the platform was sky above and everyone became quiet, and the hall was full of sight.

Finally, a scholar stood up boldly, walked up to the front desk, bowed to you, and said loudly:

"At the time of Liang Zizheng, the Confucian Xihe School, this political conference was held in the Xihe Pavilion. Xiatian was half a guest host, so he dared to come to the stage and first throw bricks and jade. Everyone! Please!"

A young man in a green collar saluted everyone in the audience.

Seeing this, Ji Yanran stood up and proclaimed:

"Please give Liang Zizheng a lecture on the Confucian Xihe School!"

Everyone looked solemn and sat upright and listened with politeness.

There are all schools in the audience, but no one makes a noise. This is respect for knowledge, respect for wisdom, and respect for oneself. This is courtesy!

Liang Zizheng bowed to Ji Yanran, but did not sit down, and stood up and said:

"What I said today is 'Governance and Government'. The governor follows the water and the platform, which means to draw water back to the flow. It is to reorganize and unblock. The governor originally intends to govern affairs and use force, and then leads to government affairs and government affairs.

As the name suggests, the so-called governance is just to sort out government affairs and bring water back to the flow.

The problem lies in combing, how to combing? What is flow when it leads to water?

Rule means etiquette!

If you want to have a great rule in the world, you must talk about the way of rituals and music!

What is etiquette?

The king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, the son!

Self-restraint and replenishment is for benevolence

If there is benevolence in the world, everything will flourish!

If the king treats his ministers with kindness, then the minister treats the king with loyalty; if the official treats the people with kindness, then the people will treat the officials with kindness!

If the rituals are complete, music is indispensable. If the rituals and music are promoted at the same time, the world will prosper without governance, let alone governance?

....”

Liang Zi was citing classics on the stage, saying that the people in the stage were either happy or angry, thought or sarcastic, and looked in a variety of expressions.

Wang Xuebin was also listening carefully. The words this person said were the most fundamental political proposition of Confucianism and the way of ritual and music.

This is something Confucius pursued throughout his life, but he has never succeeded.

It was not until the Han Dynasty that Dong Zhongshu appeared and castrated Confucius' thoughts in half, and the way of rituals and music became a joke.

But at this time, these Confucian children truly believed that rituals and music could create a world of harmony, and they were indeed making full contributions to their political propositions.

The Confucianism today and the Confucianism in later generations are like the difference between the Holy Mother and the Holy Mother bitch.

One is to restrain oneself and return rituals to be benevolent and gentlemen, so I want to restrain myself and return rituals to be gentlemen, and I want to become a gentleman and make the world a better place.

The other is to restrain oneself and return to rituals as a gentleman, so I want to make others a gentleman and make me more comfortable to survive.

Because villains never like to be with villains, it is the same as liars who don’t like to be with liars.

A liar often wishes that the whole world is full of good people, so that it will be convenient for him to cheat. The liar's appeal is good, but you must never say that a liar is a good person.

Most of the Confucianism in this era are good people, so Wang Xuebin admires Confucianism in this era very much, but appreciation does not mean recognition.

"color!"

After Liang Zizheng's preaching was finished, everyone cheered, and even those who did not agree were respecting this person's remarks.

Because this person is an opponent, respect for his opponent is also respect for himself!

"This is inappropriate!"

After cheering, one of the people in the audience stood up and raised objections.

Liang Zizheng was not panicked and raised his hand to bow.

"Dare you ask the Lord?"

A man wearing a brown robe and barefoot hair bowed with his hands.

"I have met you and Brother Zizheng in the Yuanzong of the Mo family!"

Wang Xuebin immediately felt enlightened when he heard this name. He did not expect that Yuanzong would also attend the political conference, which was an unexpected surprise.

Liangzi was walking to the side of the platform, stretched out his hand and said:

"Please give a lecture to the Yuanzong of the Mo family!"

Yuan Zong strode to the stage, looked at everyone, raised his hand and bowed to Liang Zizheng.

The ancients should be called the teaching of the word "One Character". What Liang Zizheng said is the way to govern the world and should receive a ritual.

"As Brother Liang said just now, governing should be based on benevolence and rituals and music. I think this is not the case, and this is not enough to rely on..."
