Chapter 701: It Is Our Duty To Rebuild The Glory Of Confucianism! [Please Subscribe, Please Order In
As time passed slowly, more than 7,000 talented scholars were soon accommodated in the large square behind Wanmin Literary College.
Every fifty scholars were divided into small squares by the Jin Yiwei.
More than one hundred and forty small squares were distributed around the three-foot high platform temporarily built in the middle.
Not long after, the more than 7,000 scholars present saw a man wearing a blue Confucian robe and a green mask, walking slowly and slowly from the specially set aside passage to the high platform step by step, and then climbed onto the high platform.
Although this was the first time they saw this man in Confucian robes and green clothes, the more than 7,000 scholars present also vaguely guessed his identity.
After all, after these talented scholars came to Yingtian Mansion, they didn't open anything.
Whether it is visiting their respective mentors and friends, communicating with each other among colleagues, or listening to messages from people in the Tianfu market, etc., they can always get a lot of useful information.
For example, the imperial court recently canonized new Saints——Science Saint Ban Heng, and Xu Shang Saint Fan Bai!!!
The reason why Ban Heng was canonized as a science saint is because Ban Heng invented a new method of trawling to catch sea fish, a method of focusing seawater on glass to dry salt, a briquette stove and briquettes... He conquered all the people in the world and no longer have to suffer in the future. No matter how cold you are, if you can afford salt, everyone can eat meat every once in a while!!!
Of course, this is the reason given by the court. Whether it is true or false, the people of the world cannot be sure for the time being.
However, with the Nong Shennong family and the medical doctor Xin Qi Bo Lime,
All the people in the world still have high trust and expectations for the imperial court and the Ban Heng clan canonized by the imperial court.
After all, before Saint Shennong was born, who would have dared to believe that there would be "820" grains in the world with an output of at least 20 to 30 dan per mu?!!
And since Saint Shennong can achieve a grain yield of 20 to 30 dan per acre, then this scientific saint Ban Heng can do it so that all people in the world will no longer have to suffer cold and can afford salt in the future. It seems that it is not incomprehensible to eat meat every now and then.
What can be foreseen is that once the people of the world really no longer need to suffer from the cold and can afford salt because of the Ban Heng family, and everyone can eat meat every now and then, then the people of the world will definitely recognize the Ban Heng family. Identity of Saint Saint.
The reason for canonizing Fan Bai as Xu Shang Sage is much simpler and cruder.
Because Fan Bai promised to earn 100 million guan in the first year, 500 million guan in the second year, 1 billion guan in the third year, and 10 billion guan for the court in the future!!!
Even the imperial court made it clear that if anyone dared to bet on the lives of the nine clans and could fulfill the same promise as Fan Bai, then the imperial court could also give the other person the identity and status of a fake Shang Saint.
In this regard, although a group of scholars thought that the imperial court was a philistine, they even sold such a noble "Saint" position. How is this different from the Han Ling Emperor and other faint-hearted emperors who sold their official positions and won titles?!!
Of course, although many scholars thought so in their hearts, they did not dare to say it in public.
After all, the Imperial Guards are everywhere. Once the Imperial Guards hear it and are accused of making irresponsible remarks about the Court or the Saint, they will not be able to live with it.
In addition to the news about the two new Saints being widely circulated in the market, there are also many other anecdotes about teachers and students of Saint College that are also widely circulated.
For example, a pig raised by an agricultural student from Wanmin Agricultural College ran outside the school and gnawed people's crops. The college fined the student to help the people cultivate the land and returned the farmland, and paid compensation.
Then the agricultural student worked hard for several days in a row. After being extremely tired, he returned to the college and found that the pig was still eating and drinking comfortably. He felt angry and stewed the pig with other agricultural students that night. .
Another example is that the sheep raised by an agricultural student from Wanmin Agricultural College ate the crops planted by another agricultural student, causing the agricultural student who planted the crops to fail to pay his classes.
Then the agricultural student who planted the crops ate the sheep, so that the other agricultural student could not pay his homework.
For another example, the physician lecturer at Wanmin Medical College used the miraculous technique of disembowelment to save a terminally ill patient.
However, among the many rumors about Saints, there is the least news about Wen Sheng Cang Jie. At the same time, Wen Sheng Cang Jie is also the most mysterious!!!
At least many civil and military officials and common people have seen him, whether it is the agricultural sage Shennong or the medical sage Qi Bo.
But the Wen Sheng Cang Jie family, it is said that except for His Majesty, not even any other civil and military officials have seen each other with their own eyes.
I just know that the reason why the other party was made a literary saint is that Cang Jie invented the new "Two Treasures of the Study", summarized the "Cang Jie Three Thousand Characters", and handed in a document that is said to be able to educate the people of the world and create the future of the Ming Dynasty. Educational plan for enlightening the prosperous age!!!
However, they are not very clear about the specific new "Two Treasures of the Study", "Cang Jie Three Thousand Words" and education plan, which involve the secrets of the imperial court.
【Is this the Literary Saint Cang Jie?!!】
【It seems like there is nothing special!!!】
[Let’s see what great achievements he has made as a saint, and he will be called a literary saint!!!]
[Hmph, since the Five Sages of Confucianism, even Confucian sages such as Dong Wenzong and Er Cheng have not dared to call themselves saints, and they are not enough to be called saints!!!]
[If his achievements are not enough to convince us, then we will not recognize him as our new Confucian Saint!!!]
On the three-foot high platform, Yan Changqing looked down at the densely packed thousands of Confucian scholars standing below with a calm expression.
Gatherings of only seven or eight thousand people were not a common sight for him now, but they could not be called a big scene.
Moreover, he had planned for today's scene a long time ago, and it is impossible to say that he would feel nervous.
[The plan to transform Confucianism starts today!!!]
After taking a gentle breath, Yan Changqing glanced at the talented scholars below, and spoke in a low voice one by one:
"You may not be familiar with this situation."
"But the great debate on "The Theory of Induction between Heaven and Man" four years ago is now like this!!!"
The sound transmitter beside him conveyed Yan Changqing's words word for word.
Suddenly, the more than 7,000 talented scholars below could not help but talk in low voices.
Although most of the scholars present had never seen the great debate on "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man" four years ago, they still knew very well what happened in the great debate on "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man". .
Not only has the Confucian and Saint family, which has been passed down for nearly two thousand years, been pulled down from the altar and thrown into the quagmire, but even the "Theory of Induction between Heaven and Man", one of the cornerstones of the Confucian theoretical system, has been completely overturned!!!
This can definitely be regarded as one of the major events in the history of Confucianism. As Confucian scholars, they naturally will not be unclear about it.
Song Lian below could not help but frown tightly when he heard the words of Cang Jie, the literary saint on the high platform.
【What does Mr. Cang Jie want to do?!!】
[Is it possible that he wants to provoke a confrontation between the world’s talented scholars and the Shennong family, the agricultural sage?!!]
[Use this to further enhance your identity and status?!!]
If that's the case, "then he will have to stop Imaba no matter what he says.
Although he admired the achievements and plans of Cang Jie, the literary saint, he would never allow the world's talented scholars to be wantonly instigated.
Especially when the person who wants to instigate scholars all over the world to take advantage of the opportunity is very likely to be the Shennong family, the agricultural saint.
That would be even more unacceptable!!!
Song Lian knew very well that in this era, even if they were both Saints, there was absolutely no Saint who could compete with the Shennong family, a farmer who produced 20 to 30 dan of grain per acre!!!
All confrontations with the Shennong family are nothing but self-defeating!!!
It will only damage the current vitality of Confucianism!!!
As the current true leader of Confucianism, Kong Sigong, Song Lian will never allow such a thing to happen!!!
Yan Changqing on the high platform did not know what Song Lian was thinking at the moment, and continued to say in a low voice:
"The debate that year was between a group of great Confucian scholars and Yan Changqing. In the end, the Confucian "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man" was completely overturned!!!"
"At that time, I was standing at the bottom like you, watching a group of Confucian scholars slumped on the high platform, lost their minds, and even burst into tears!!!"
"Listening to the people around me scolding the Confucian family, denying the Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man, and even questioning Confucianism, this scene is something I will never forget!!!"
"At that moment, I was thinking, why was the theory of telepathy between heaven and man being overturned?!!"
"Why are farmers and doctors having new saints born in this era, but no new saints from Confucianism have stepped forward to respond to people's questions and regain people's trust in Confucianism?!!"
Following Yan Changqing's question, more than 7,000 scholars below also fell into deep thought.
Yes, why is "The Theory of Induction between Heaven and Man" so popular?!!
Why is it that in this era, there are farmers Saint Shennong, doctors Saint Qibo, Mohists Saint Ban Heng, merchants Xu Sheng Fan Bai, but no new Confucian saints are born?!!
Wait, that’s not right!!!
In this era of their Confucianism, there is also a new Saint born, that is the Literary Saint Cang Jie in front of us at this moment!!!
As for the questions they don’t understand and the answers they want, Literary Saint Cang Jie should be able to give them!!!
As soon as he thought of this, the eyes of more than 7,000 talented scholars were all focused on Cang Jie, the literary saint on the high platform...
"I thought about it for a long time, and finally figured out the reason why "The Theory of Induction between Heaven and Man" will be overturned!!!"
"That's because 'Heaven's behavior is always constant, and it will not exist for Yao, nor will it perish for Jie'!!!"
"The natural movement of heaven and earth has its own laws. This law will not be changed by Yao's sage in the Three Sovereigns & Five Emperors, or the tyranny of Xia Dynasty Jie!!!"
"But "The Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man" forcibly links the virtues and cruelties of human beings and the pros and cons of government with the nature of heaven and earth!!!"
"Although the original intention is to use the natural disasters of heaven and earth to persuade the monarch to accept advice and eliminate the evil!!!"
"But we have forgotten that natural disasters in the world are uncontrollable and unpredictable!!!"
"Today there is a disaster in the world. It can be said that it is caused by the monarch's lack of morality, the unwise ministers and improper governance!!!"
"But in the future, when the country is rich and the people are strong, the emperor is wise and the ministers are virtuous, there will still be disasters in the world. Can we still say that it is caused by the emperor's lack of morality, the courtiers being unworthy, and improper governance?!!"
"If this is the case, where will the wise ministers of Wise Monarch be placed?!!"
“Where can we make the country rich and its people strong?!!”
"So, "The Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man" started with "Heaven" as the basis, supplemented by humans, and finally ended with humans asking Heaven but not answering!!!"
The more than 7,000 scholars and scholars listening to Yan Changqing's words nodded their heads in agreement.
Yes, the natural movement of heaven and earth has its own
The laws of the body; natural disasters of heaven and earth themselves are uncontrollable and difficult to predict.
As a result, "The Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man" forcibly links the virtues and cruelties of human beings and the pros and cons of government with the nature of heaven and earth.
Now that someone has discovered the loophole that "heaven" is uncontrollable and unpredictable, and then was overthrown, it is only natural.
Sure enough, Xunzi was right when he said: "Heaven behaves in an orderly manner, and it will not exist for Yao, nor will it perish for Jie"!!!
When I get back, I will read Xunzi's "Lun" of Heaven several more times!!!
Suddenly, the three major groups of Confucian scholars forgot that Xunzi had spent most of his time in the embarrassing position of being expelled from his Confucian status by Confucian students.
"I believe that Confucianism can achieve its past glory, and "The Theory of Induction between Heaven and Man" is indispensable!!!"
"However, the historical role played by "The Theory of Induction between Heaven and Man" has ended here!!!"
"Now, we need to recast Confucianism's new glory and create new glory for Confucianism!!!"
"And this requires me to work hard with you and thousands of Confucian scholars before we can hope to achieve it!!!"
"Now, gentlemen, are you willing to work with me to recast the new glory of Confucianism and create new glory for Confucianism?!! B.0"
At the end of the sentence, Yan Changqing opened his arms, looked at the more than 7,000 talented scholars below, and shouted loudly.
The sound transmission warriors on both sides also spread Yan Changqing's words to all directions.
The more than 7,000 scholars below were silent for a while, but soon the scholars disguised as Jin Yiwei began to appear one after another in the crowd of scholars.
Open your mouth and shout:
"It is our duty to rebuild the glory of Confucianism!!!"
People, among the crowd, all follow the crowd.
When you don't speak, but a group of scholars disguised as Jin Yiwei do speak, then the group of scholars disguised as Jin Yiwei are that group!!!
Moreover, slogans such as "Recast the new glory of Confucianism and create new glory of Confucianism" and "It is our duty to recast the glory of Confucianism" are very tempting and inciting in themselves.
, isn’t it?!!
So as dozens or hundreds of scholars disguised as Jin Yiwei shouted out their voices, most of the scholars who had been silent at first were gradually agitated.
In a short time, it changed from the harmony of dozens of people shouting, to the harmony of hundreds of voices, and then to the wave of thousands of people shouting in unison:
"It is our duty to rebuild the glory of Confucianism!!!"
"It is our duty to rebuild the glory of Confucianism!!!"
The mighty sound resounded throughout the entire Wanmin College of Liberal Arts, and even the teachers and students of Wanmin Agricultural College and Wanmin Medical College not far away could faintly hear it.

PS1: Last night I suddenly felt chilly and had a fever. I found out I had influenza A when I went to the hospital for a checkup. Fortunately, I didn’t feel too bad and I could still code. It’s not a big problem. Dear readers, I’m handsome.
Women should also pay attention to their health and protect themselves from the spring flu and cold wave!!!
