Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 813
Fuqiu Bo's death is a terrible news for the entire Confucianism.

Fu Qiubo, as a disciple of Xunzi, took over the banner of Confucianism after Shusuntong, and in recent years has become a leader recognized by the whole Confucianism. This is not easy among Confucianism with many factions.

And he is also one of the few great Confucians in Liu Chang who can be pleasing to the eye. In recent years, his speech and behavior have been quite controversial. There is still suspicion of flattery, flattering His Majesty too much, and he has lost some backbone.

But whether he likes it or not, this person is the most famous Confucian boss after all, with countless disciples and many works, he is famous all over the world.

When they learned of his death, all the Confucians burst into tears.

Not only Confucianism, but also the old opponents of Confucianism, such as Huang Lao, Legalism, and Mohism, are also indescribably sad at this moment.When Fu Qiubo was in Taixue, he treated many schools equally, and even favored other schools, supported the weak, and was kind to many schools. Although he held different opinions, he never used his own identity to punish them. Suppress.After learning of his death, great sages from many schools came to mourn him.

It is rare that many schools gather together, but they never open their mouths to quarrel, and everyone's faces are just sad.

Shen Pei knelt beside the teacher's coffin in a daze, silent.

As Fu Qiubo's most outstanding disciple, Shen Pei and his teacher embarked on a completely different path. Fu Qiubo is a purely academic sage. He has never participated in temple debates, nor is he willing to compete with many schools of thought. He can be regarded as a person who is indifferent to the world, but Shen Pei's pursuit is more than that of Fu Qiubo. Above the rise of Confucianism, everything is for the purpose of revitalizing Confucianism.

Most of Fu Qiubo's disciples have become great Confucian scholars who also educate people and educate talents, but Shen Pei's disciples are ranked high in the temple, there are several at the Sangong level alone, and there are countless local officials.

But the difference in the road did not affect Shen Pei's respect for the teacher.

Especially after taking over as the teacher and starting to be in charge of the Taixue, Shen Pei became more and more able to understand the difficulty of the teacher at the beginning. In these days, Shen Pei has exported a large number of talents for Confucianism, and his reputation is getting bigger and bigger. Became a great Confucianism recognized at home.

However, after losing his teacher suddenly, this famous Confucianist in the world fell into a daze.

The backing collapsed suddenly, lost support for a while, and even the great Confucianism became quite helpless.

In the huge mansion, the mournful cries of young disciples could be heard from time to time.

Standing here with the support of a few disciples, Zhang Cang didn't look as sad as the others, he just asked in a daze, "How old is my brother?"

"Ninety one."

Hearing his disciple's answer, Zhang Cang couldn't help nodding his head. Fuqiubo started his career early, but he was younger than Zhang Cang. Zhang Cang was sent to Xunzi's side when he was very young, but because of his free and easy personality, I was unable to become a disciple for a long time, and was sent home several times, and stayed by the teacher's side, and could only read some books from the teacher to accumulate knowledge. After all the students went astray, Xunzi just accepted this free and easy guy as his young disciple, and spent all his hard work in his later years on him.

"Happy death, joyful mourning."

Zhang Cang muttered.

Zhang Cang ignored those young people who came to see him, but with the support of the two, he walked into the inner room and walked to Liu Chang with a serious face.

Liu Chang stood here with a serious face, as if he was examining the people who came in and out.

Zhang Cang came to his side, stood aside, and looked forward from the same angle.

"Long. Lord Fuqiu is gone."

Liu Chang pursed his lips, "Teacher, if you don't know how to comfort, you don't have to speak."

Zhang Cang shook his head, "I'm not here to comfort you. Birth, old age, sickness and death are unchangeable laws. I don't need to say anything to you. It's useless to stay here to remember him. Why don't you go back with me? Let's fix the book"

"Teacher, you don't know that Lord Fuqiu is the only one who understands me. After he leaves, I'm afraid no one will understand me anymore."

"Throughout the ages, sages and sages have emerged in large numbers. There were people like Fuqiubo in the past, and there will be people in the future. But this is not the most important thing. Sometimes, when we do something, it doesn't matter whether others can understand it or not. It is enough if we can understand it ourselves. , you and I are the same kind of people, we never care about other people's eyes, we only do what we like with peace of mind. Of course it is good to have Fuchubo, but even without Fuchubo, we should do well It is."

"At the beginning, the only person who could understand my thoughts was my teacher. The teacher felt that I would not hide my thoughts, be straightforward and sincere, and I would definitely achieve great things. Except for the teacher, everyone else said that I was a private person. Virtue has its disadvantages, but it is difficult to become a great weapon."

"My teacher passed away a long time ago, and no one understands me anymore, but I don't care. After living for more than a hundred years, I am still free."

"And people with big ambitions like you are often more lonely than me, but the more so, the more you should do things not for the approval of others, nor for your own fame , I know, many times, you do things for your father. Your father is your pride, your confidence, and your pressure. You are always worried that you are ashamed of being the son of Emperor Gao, hahaha, I am just like you, a disciple of Xunzi, all my life I have been afraid of losing the face of my teacher and failing his teaching."

"However, at my current age, I think about it. I don't do things for someone, but just for my own peace of mind. I just need to have a clear conscience."

Liu Chang looked at the teacher beside him in surprise.

The teacher rarely communicates with himself, and never expresses his opinion of himself.

Zhang Cang narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's not just Fu Qiubo who believes in your prosperity, I also believe it, he just encourages you in words, but look at me, I'm for your prosperity The ministers of the temple, the local officials, who are not fighting for your prosperity? Just because my eloquence is not as good as your brother, you can’t ignore me and treat Fu Qiubo as a The only confidant?"

"Naturally not."

"That's all right, let's go, don't bother Fu Qiubo here, this guy has gone astray, specializing in poetry, maybe he is being scolded by the master at the moment, don't bother them."

Zhang Cang said, turned around and left here, Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed.

"Will the Patriarch scold him?"

"Sure, but he's still fine. When I go, I'm afraid I'll be beaten even worse. The old man knows that I accepted such a thing into the teacher's school, and knows your academic achievements. Don't you want to Beat me alive?"

Liu Chang almost couldn't help laughing, and his sad mood immediately improved a lot.

"Teacher, you can't say that. I have made great contributions to the revitalization of Confucianism. Look at his current status. In Confucian temples everywhere, he is always placed second."

"That's not right. You throw out Mencius and hang up your own portrait. Of course he is second. Fortunately, you didn't throw out Confucius's and hung up my own portrait."

Liu Chang's eyes lit up, but Zhang Cang glared at him hastily, "Don't try to harm me. As the emperor, even if you are famous, it's hard to say anything. Your father also calls himself the Five Emperors, but if you will I'll hang up, then I can't stand it"

The two talked all the way, got into the car, and then left towards Zhang Cang's mansion.

The funeral here is still going on, and there are more and more people coming and going, and soon even the road is blocked by these people.

But Liu Chang was already sitting in Zhang Cang's study room. The master and apprentice were studying a lot of mathematical knowledge. There were a lot of papers in front of the two of them, densely covered with mathematical methods and calculation processes. With his head down, thinking hard, Liu Chang would slap his forehead a few times from time to time, reminding himself of the knowledge in his dream. Zhang Cang was stunned. He patted himself on the head, and quickly began to continue the calculation.

Zhang Cang hesitated for a moment, then patted himself on the forehead.

But Liu Chang couldn't help laughing, "Teacher, this method doesn't work."

"Just now I saw Shen Pei's lonely face. I'm afraid their faction will disappear from now on."

Hearing what Liu Chang said, Zhang Cang put down his pen and ink, and said while resting: "Shen Pei loses his teacher, but he will lose his shackles, and he can go further. Shen Pei's knowledge has reached a new height, only because of his teacher. He did not go too far on his own path because of his influence. His knowledge was biased towards ruling the world, but Fuqiub was a pure academic. Shen Pei taught many disciples capable of governing politics, but he himself was limited within the scope of academics. Nothing to do."

"Next, Taixue will definitely not be as peaceful as before."

Zhang Cang made a prophecy to Shen Pei.

"Forget it, ignore those, let's sort them out with peace of mind."

With the death of Fu Qiubo, the faint sense of connection within Confucianism in the past also disappeared. In fact, many factions within Confucianism also have great differences with each other. For example, Gongyang Confucianism has quarreled with other Confucianism. It's worse than being with Huang Lao. In the past, because of Fu Qiubo's high reputation, he stayed in Taixue for a long time, so he was able to establish an overall connection with Confucianism, allowing them to suppress their internal differences and deal with Huang Lao, Fa and Mo together. Up to now, Fu Qiubo is not around, and Shen Pei obviously does not have such prestige, and radical changes have taken place within Confucianism.

Huang Lao is the most prominent school in the world, while the Xun School is the most respected person in charge of Confucianism.

The Xun faction in Confucianism used to have Fu Qiubo and Zhang Cang, and later Shen Pei and Jia Yi. Logically speaking, other factions are not qualified to compete.

But the problem is that Zhang Cang and Jia Yi are not the kind of people who concentrate on academics. Gongyang and Han Shi, whose rise is becoming more and more obvious, are led by Hu Wusheng and Han Ying respectively, and they want to change the status quo of the Xun faction's dominance.

Of course, the Elder doesn't care about these things. Although the Elder is recognized as the Xun School, the Elder can use whatever is easy to use, and doesn't care too much about other things.

At present, the Xun School has not improved for a long time, and it is still the original set of things. On the contrary, the development of Gongyang and Hanshi is extremely rapid. Combining the current reality, Gongyang is known as the Great Unification Kaiyuan, and actively participates in the cause of enlightenment , running around in various places, and working hard to consolidate the great unity of the Han Dynasty. Of course, this can be loved by the emperor and supported by all places.On the other hand, Han Shi advocated loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and also wanted to change the ideological situation of the division of the county and the country, and establish the core idea of ​​​​great unification, which the emperor liked very much.

Compared with them, the Xun School still needs to develop something new.

Fu Qiubo thought about this problem in his later years, combined with what Liu Chang said, he sorted out a new set of cognitive views, but there are not many people who can inherit this set of theories, and Shen Pei has already walked out of his own path. It is impossible to delve into the master's set of things again, and among the rest of the disciples, there is still no one who can comprehend these things.

Sure enough, as Zhang Cang said, Taixue was no longer peaceful, and some subtle changes began to appear within Confucianism, and even some factions were gradually easing their conflicts with Huang Lao and other schools, and they were no longer inseparable. Unanimously out.

At this moment, Liu An is in the mansion, summoning many talents from the Kanyu family.

Of course, Hu Wusheng is also here. Hu Wusheng was promoted by Liu An, and he is also regarded as an official of the prince line by outsiders.

But Luo Jian and the others were not here, they led a group of people to Daiguo with Zhang Buyi, Hu Wusheng was not a technical talent, so naturally he didn't need to go with him.

Liu An took Hu Wusheng's hand and looked at the disciples of the Kanyu family around him.

"From now on, you will be the outstanding students of this big man."

"If you encounter any difficulties, just talk to me, and I will do my best."

"Thank you Your Highness!!"

Everyone thanked them one after another, but Liu An shook his head, "It doesn't have to be like this, you all have contributed to the country, and it should be so!"

Hu Wusheng sat beside Liu An with some helplessness. After everyone started chatting, he said to Liu An: "Your Highness, there is something wrong with Confucianism in the near future. I ran to you all day today, making them mistakenly think that the public The sheep have already voted for Huang Lao, causing even greater conflicts.”

Liu An's eyes widened, "You came to my house as a guest, what does this have to do with the school?"

Hu Wusheng said helplessly: "Your Highness, if you want to divide Confucianism, please don't use such a method. After the death of Lord Fuqiu, Confucianism has been hit hard, and it really can't stand any trouble."

At this moment, the whole banquet suddenly fell silent.

Everyone was speechless, and then quickly chatted enthusiastically again, as if trying to cover up the voice just now.

Hu Wusheng's words were too blunt, almost pointing at Liu An's nose and saying that he was driving a wedge between Confucianism.

But in the face of such accusations, Liu An's face was very calm, unmoved, and instead praised: "As expected of Hu Wugong, if someone else thinks so, I dare not say so. But , you look down on me too much, I know that Confucianism regards me as a great enemy, but I myself have never put you in my eyes."

Liu An was very confident, "As for the estrangement, it's nonsense. What I care about is you, and it has nothing to do with the school."

"However, you are right. Confucianism will fall apart sooner or later. It is impossible for me to watch Confucianism go into decline. Therefore, I decided to help Confucianism. I heard that Fuqiu had an unfinished book. I know you I have a good relationship with Shen Peigong, if you have the opportunity, please contact him for me, and say that I am willing to improve his writings and help the Xun faction improve its ideas."

"Of course, if he doesn't trust me, it doesn't matter. I don't force it. I can also help them in other ways. I never want Baijia to decline. The better Baijia develops, the more new things it develops. The happier I am, my proposition is based on the contention of a hundred schools of thought. The stronger you are, the stronger my knowledge will be. Therefore, you don’t have to worry that I will take the opportunity to deal with Confucianism. Just say these geologists here, I invited them to come here to help them sincerely, they let me know the importance of geology, and also let me know what is still missing in my claim.”

Facing the eloquent prince, Hu Wusheng was silent for a moment, "I will tell Shen Pei about it."

"Don't worry too much. Confucianism used to be restrained. The current situation is an opportunity for Confucianism to be sure. It can actively change and develop more ideas and theories. Isn't it you Gongyang? Are you good at this?"

Hu Wusheng was speechless.

After everyone ate and drank enough, Liu An personally sent them out.

Turning around and going back to the courtyard, I saw Liu Ci hugging Liu Qian, looking at him eagerly.

"Don't go."

Without Liu Ci opening his mouth, Liu An had already given the answer.

"Brother, I will never take him to run around, I want to take him to the Taixue, let him feel the knowledge there"

Liu Qian laughed loudly, and was dishonest in Liu Ci's arms. He bared his teeth and clawed and shouted: "Go to Taixue! Learn!"

Liu An narrowed his eyes, "Don't think that I don't know what you want to do, you are going to lead people to debate with Shen Pei, if you can't win, just throw this stick on it and let him harm Shen Pei, right? ?”

"Of course not. This Zhuzi is not a hidden weapon. How could he be used to embarrass him? I am his biological father. How could I do such a thing?"

Liu An thought for a while, and shouted into the distance: "Wen Jun!!"

Soon, a person quickly appeared in front of Liu An, it was Wei Wenjun, and now he has grown a little bit, no longer the skinny appearance of the past, and his body is quite strong.

"If you accompany them and find out that King Xia has any bad intentions, you can immediately take them down and send them back to the mansion!"

,

ps: It rained the day before yesterday, and I caught a cold for the past two days, and the medicine didn’t help. It’s outrageous. I feel that my resistance has become much weaker after losing weight. When I was [-] catties, I never had any minor illnesses, but now it’s [-] catties. Cough and cold every day. Isn't it said that the thinner you are, the healthier you are? ?
