Chapter 443: A capable minister in governing the world, a hero in troubled times (four in one, with additional updates)

(Additional update for book friends with super talents and over 10,000 rewards.)

"Today, times are different and we are going through troubled times.

If you are not careful, the Han Dynasty may fall.

At this time, some things should be abandoned and some things that are very practical at this stage should be developed as a priority.

First stabilize the Han Dynasty, stabilize the world, and make the world prosperous...

If the skin is gone, how will the hair be attached?

What's the use of clinging to these things at this time, and all the time will collapse along with it?

You and I are both Confucians, and we should be clear that Confucianism is the science of governing the world.

It cannot be said that it is useless in troubled times. To be honest, when dealing with troubled times, it is far inferior to governing the world.

In this case, why can't we make way for others at this time and let everyone work together to overcome the difficulties?"

Cai Yong looked at Ma Rixi and said with a serious expression.

It can be seen that what he said is serious.

Listening to Cai Yong's words, Ma Rixi felt that his scalp was numb, and something was about to break through the Tianling Cap.

"You! You!"

He pointed at Cai Yong, his voice trembling.

"You are talking about chaos to the country!"

Cai Yong showed some pain on his face: "The big man is already like this, do you need to pay attention to this anymore?

No matter how messy it is, how far can it go?

Moreover, if you don't take some measures and remain conservative, then you are really just sitting back and watching the big man go. You can die together with the big man who is destroyed, but what's the use?

This is an evasion of responsibility and a symbol of incompetence!

It cannot change the situation of the big man.

It's okay for you personally to still have a good reputation after a hundred deaths, but what about the big man?!"

When Ma Rixi heard this, he pointed at Cai Yong with a ferocious expression.

But for a while, no words came out.

He let out a long sigh and sat down on the chair, looking dejected.

After a moment of silence, he said: "I didn't say that medicine can't develop, I just can't open this door for them.

You must know how difficult it is for Confucianism to achieve its current status."

Cai Yong said: "Do you think, even if we give them this opening now, will they still threaten the orthodox status of Confucianism in the future?

After such a long period of development, the orthodox status of Confucianism has long been deeply rooted and unshakable.

Now how many years have passed since we dismissed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, and Confucianism has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Moreover, the classics and books of those schools have been destroyed long ago, and many things have been dated and lost.

Under such circumstances, even if they were given an opening, they would never threaten Confucianism.

In this case, why can't we be more generous?

Moreover, a big country, a unified country, also needs to be unified ideologically.

The Qin Dynasty could not be said to be weak. It attached great importance to criminal law and favored Legalism. As a result, the Qin Dynasty perished.

It can be said that Huang Laojie was not weak, but he was only strong for a few decades and was eventually abandoned.

Confucianism rose with the rise of the Han Empire.

It has been going on for hundreds of years and has never stopped.

occupy a dominant position.

Don't you see something from here?

A unified country will have a unified idea. Only in troubled times will various doctrines emerge in endlessly.

There is the soil in which they live.

We are now working hard to save the Han Dynasty, not only because we are Han Dynasty officials, but we are also working hard for the prosperity of Confucianism.

Only when the country prospers can Confucianism become better!"

After Cai Yong finished speaking, the room seemed very quiet for a while.

Not only was the emotional Ma Rixi stunned, but even Zhong Yao, who was 'forced' to come over, looked shocked for a moment.

Then I fell into deep thinking.

His expression kept changing.

It can be seen that what Cai Yong just said had a great impact on Zhong Yao and Ma Rixi.

"Who told you what you just said?

According to your Cai Bozhe's mind, I'm afraid you can't think of these things!"

After a while, in a room so quiet that one could hear a needle drop, Ma Rixi suddenly raised his head, looked at Cai Yong and asked with burning eyes.

Zhong Yao, who was deep in thought, was awakened by Ma Rixi's voice, and followed Zhong Yao to look at Cai Yong.

Waiting for Cai Yong to answer.

According to his understanding of Cai Yong, it is indeed not like Cai Yong could have come up with these words.

Seeing this, Cai Yong put a smile on his face and said: "This is what my good son-in-law Kede told me.

If not, do you think I would have kept silent before?"

When he said these words, Cai Yong felt so beautiful in his heart.

Very proud.

Having such a good son-in-law is good and brings light to one's face.

Seeing the wonderful expressions on their faces, Cai Yong felt even more proud.

He continued: "One thing you may not know is that Hua Tuo, a doctor of medicine, used to be a Confucian scholar, but later he became obsessed with medicine because he had no hope of promotion.

In other words, what this person has learned is only the medical skills of treating diseases and saving lives, but not the ideas of medicine.

This is equivalent to saying that this person is actually a member of our Confucian family.

It is the skin of medicine and the bones of Confucianism.

What's the harm in adding an MD in this situation?

Isn’t it equivalent to adding the official position of a doctor of medicine to us Confucians?

Moreover, my good son-in-law has clearly told me that in the future, those who accept the teachings of medical doctors and study medicine will not purely learn medical skills. They need to master a certain culture and have a certain foundation.

The culture here refers to our Confucianism.

Under such circumstances, not to mention the position of a doctor of medicine, what if there is an additional position of doctor of medicine?"

"Medicine is the skin, Confucianism is the bone.

Let those who study medical skills learn a certain amount of Confucianism..."

Ma Rixi murmured to himself, repeating what Cai Yong had just said, and felt something began to loosen in his heart.

The fog in my heart was quickly disappearing, and I felt that my heart was beginning to become brighter.

"You old boy, since you already knew this, why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

After a while, Ma Rixi roared at Cai Yong.

He looks like he wants to bite someone.

Facing this scene, Cai Yong looked like an old god was present.

"You didn't ask me either!"

When Ma Rixi heard this, he was choked and speechless.

He waved his sleeves angrily and said angrily: "I think you, old boy, just want to watch us make fools of ourselves, and then take the opportunity to show off to us that you have a good son-in-law!"

When Cai Yong heard this, he burst into laughter.

Then he stood up and brought over a small wine jar, opened it, and poured some wine into three small wine bowls one by one.

The wine is clear and not even turbid at all.

"Come and try the fine wine that my good son-in-law sent me."

Cai Yong smiled and greeted Ma Rixi and Zhong Yao.

The wine was indeed given to Cai Yong by Liu Cheng, but the quantity was not large.
