Luo Youdu looked very sad and resentful, as if he hated iron.
However, he soon discovered that there was no one to appreciate his genius performance.
All your work is in vain!
Under the main hall, there was silence.
Everyone in His Highness' group was shocked by Hengqu's four sentences.
When Luo Youdu reprimanded the Kong family, everyone kept silent and kept their faces in fear, fearing that adding fuel to the fire would bring disaster to the fish in the pond.
But with the appearance of Hengqu's four sentences, all the panic swept away and was replaced by excitement.
The three great scholars, Dou Yujun, Yang Ningshi, and Feng Ping, looked at Luo Youdu who was standing at the top with fanatical eyes.
His eyes were full of admiration and excitement, just like a brainwashed fanboy.
Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living people, carry on the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations!
This sentence is their lifelong dream and the highest realm that all scholars aspire to.
This sentence, for these three Confucian scholars who have been studying all their lives, is so powerful that it is indescribable.
"His Majesty!"
Dou Yujun was so excited that he burst into tears and said: "I have nothing more to ask for in my life. If I can listen to your majesty's words, I will die without regrets."
Yang Ningshi kowtows like pounding garlic, and says in an almost pleading tone: "Your Majesty, please lend me pen, ink, paper and inkstone..."
Luo Youdu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Now let's talk about business. What kind of reaction is this?
He glanced at His Highness.
Feng Ping's face flushed with excitement, as happy as a child.
Wang Pu, Song Qi, and Xue Juzheng have been in the officialdom for many years. They are no longer pure Confucian scholars and have not done anything extraordinary, but their excited eyes still cannot conceal their mood at this moment.
As for Kong Yi and Kong Yu.
The two of them were completely lost.
Kong Yu sat paralyzed on the ground, mumbling, and kept chanting: "It's over, it's over, it's over... The Kong family is over..."
Kong Yi's face was pale and he looked like he didn't know what to do at all.
Once this eternal famous saying comes out, it will inevitably be recited all over the world along with the misdeeds of the Confucius family.
What did the Kong family rely on to live happily for thousands of years?
Isn’t it just the reputation of our ancestors?
They were already vaguely aware of what was waiting for them.
Luo Youdu looked at the various expressions below and was faintly touched in his heart. Perhaps this is the charm of Chinese characters and language.
One sentence or a few words can make people crazy.
He couldn't remember how he felt when he heard this sentence for the first time, but even in a future with complex thoughts, various cultural types, and even if the cultural differences are thousands of years apart, Zhang Zai's four sentences about Hengqu can still make him scalp.
numb.
What’s more, it’s ancient times, and it’s still the literary desert period of the Five Dynasties.
The power of this short sentence was far beyond Luo Youdu's imagination.
Seeing Luo Youdu's permission, Yang Ningshi ignored the etiquette and snatched the pen and ink paper from the desk, and lay on the ground directly to grind it.
Yang Ningshi spread the paper flat, put ink on the brush, took a deep breath, closed her eyes and recalled the shocking feeling of hearing Hengqu's four lines for the first time. Her hand seemed to be uncontrollable, and it moved on the paper.
Luo Youdu saw that Hengqu's four sentences completely disrupted the rhythm of his criticism of Confucius, and he had no choice but to do so.
If you think about it carefully, this is not bad.
Click till then.
Of course, since Luo Youdu took action, he did not intend to leave any future troubles.
What he points out is not that he is soft-hearted, but that he is worried that people in the world will be soft-hearted.
After all, the Confucius family has the glory of Confucius. If you want to beat him to death with a stick, some people will inevitably feel pity and feel that the crime is not serious.
On the contrary, he left some room, showed tolerance to the Kong family, and gave the Kong family a way out.
Then let people reveal the things that happened to the Kong family in Qufu one by one.
When the time comes, there is no need to put the Confucius family to death, as the saliva of scholars all over the world will drown the Confucius family.
Thinking of this, Luo Youdu also put away his angry look and walked casually to Yang Ningshi's side.
Huh!
Luo Youdu's eyes flashed with surprise.
He now also has a certain appreciation for calligraphy.
Yang Ningshi's copybook with four lines of "Hengqu" is a rare masterpiece, with elegant writing and scattered vertical and horizontal lines.
With his level, he can see this.
Little did they know that Yang Ningshi's calligraphy was one of the best in the world. It was historically known as a pivotal point in the transition from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. He was an important figure in the field of calligraphy who inherited the Tang Dynasty from the Song Dynasty and pioneered the Song Dynasty. He was very important to Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu and Cai Xiang.
family, has a huge impact.
Today I listened to Hengqu's Four Sentences for the first time, and I was so excited and inspired that I wrote my masterpiece in one fell swoop.
Because of this realization, Yang Ningshi's already outstanding status in the calligraphy world skyrocketed.
This four-sentence piece in cursive script by Hengqu is directly compared to Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Collection" and Yan Zhenqing's "Manuscript for Nephew Memorials".
Yang Ningshi looked at his work and said with a smile: "I will die without regrets if I get this masterpiece."
When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but sweat profusely when he thought about what he had done before, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Luo Youdu said: "If you give this copybook to me, I will absolve you of your sin."
Yang Ningshi grimaced, but she was reluctant to give up.
Luo Youdu said nonchalantly: "Just write another article."
Yang Ningshi felt even more uncomfortable. He wrote another article and said it was easy. If he really had this ability, he would be Wang Xizhi.
"Then, how about asking Chen Tuo to write an article!"
Yang Ningshi said pitifully.
"Okay!" Luo Youdu said magnanimously: "Just don't lose my genuine product."
Seeing that the atmosphere had already gone astray, Luo Youdu came to Kong Yi and Kong Yu and said: "I think that as the descendants of King Wenxuan, you should carry forward the spirit of King Wenxuan. When did the spirit of King Wenxuan become a sacrifice? Enlightenment is education.
The spirit of King Wenxuan lies..."
"I temporarily take back your right to worship King Wenxuan. I hope you will not forget your original intention and carry forward King Wenxuan's spirit of teaching without discrimination."
"When will you regain this spirit? When will I return the power of sacrifice to you?"
Luo Youdu's words were sincere and sincere, showing the magnanimity of the superior.
Kong Yi and Kong Yu hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Luo Youdu came to Dou Yujun and said: "Mr. Yanshan!"
Dou Yujun bowed his head and said: "Old minister is here!"
Luo Youdu said: "Let you take over the position of enshrining officer! I believe that except Mr., there is no other person in the world today who is qualified to promote King Wenxuan's teachings."
Dou Yujun hesitated for a while, but decided to take on the task.
The Kong family has always been responsible for this enshrinement official. If he, an outsider, takes over, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.
Dou Yujun is most afraid of trouble. If he has time to deal with these troubles, it is better to take more classes and teach more students.
But when I think of Hengqu's four sentences, I think that no matter how hard I try, I can only get thousands of people to read books.
And Luo Youdu is the one who can make thousands of people read books.
Sharing his worries is making a contribution to education.
Dou Yujun thought that he was too old to do anything else, so he could still wave the flag and shout.
Luo Youdu waved his hand, looking sad, and said: "Okay, that's it for today, please step back!"
There was originally a dinner party, but obviously there is no need to prepare it now.
Luo Youdu still underestimated the power of Hengqu's four sentences.
There is simply no way to hide something like this happening.
The Confucius family went to Beijing with great effort, showed off and publicized it, and made the noise known to everyone. As a result, they left Bianjing in despair that day and returned to Qufu.
What happened in Jiying Hall was revealed to those who were interested.
Luo Youdu's hatred of the Confucian family is as strong as iron, his reprimand to the Confucian family, and the performances of Kong Yi and Kong Yu, as well as the emergence of Hengqu's four sentences.
All the scholars in Bianjing are discussing the four sentences of Hengqu, and then discussing Confucius and the Confucian family.
Luo Youdu's generosity also showed his benevolent demeanor here and was praised by the world.
But soon various news about the Kong family spread to the capital one by one.
The first thing to bear the brunt was that the Kong family took advantage of the privileges given by Guo Wei and used illegal means to acquire 70% of the land in Qufu County.
The reason why the Kong family did not engage in education was also discovered by the people in Bianjing.
not enough people!
The Kong family had too many fields, and branch members took care of the farm properties in batches.
They even set up a field management organization within the family to better manage the fields in their hands.
Then there is the agreement between the Confucius family and the wealthy gentry of Qufu.
The Kong family held two sacrifices and two cultural gatherings every month, attracting scholars to live in Qufu permanently.
The sacrifices and cultural activities of the Confucius family were directly linked to their interests.
Everyone pushed down this wall.
In addition to these things on the surface, some disgraceful things behind the scenes also surfaced at this time.
There was a scholar named Liu An in Qufu who accidentally obtained Yan Zhenqing's "Collection of Rites and Music".
Kong Yu got greedy and deceived the "Collection of Rites and Music" into his hands and put it in the Kong family library.
Liu An wanted to seek justice, so he publicized the matter on the street, intending to make the matter bigger and use public opinion to demand the return of the "Collection of Rites and Music".
As a result, before the news spread, the wealthy gentry in the city kidnapped him, beat him severely, and sent people to follow and threaten Liu An's family.
Liu An had no choice but to settle the matter.
This matter was also made clear at this time.
One after another, although they are not evil deeds, they subvert the world's three views.
The Kong family has an irreplaceable position in the scholarly community, and as a result, one incident after another was exposed.
Almost all scholars have a feeling of being cheated.
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Deep love, deep responsibility.
In just a few days, the Kong family went from being a wealthy family that everyone admired to being beaten by everyone.
Already some impatient students have begun to submit a joint letter to the Prime Minister of Bianjing to severely punish the Confucius family.
The Confucius family, who had committed so many crimes, was not worthy of the emperor's benevolence.
The emperor's benevolence should be used on others, not the Confucius family.
Severely punishing the Confucius family gradually took the initiative in public opinion.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Luo Youdu followed public opinion and once again promulgated the method of dealing with the Kong family.
All the property of the Confucius family was confiscated, and the Confucius library was state-owned and turned into a Chinese library. The only copies left and copied were sent to the palace for collection, and the copies were also made available for borrowing and copying.
The descendants of the Confucius family should not forget their original aspirations, follow the example of King Wenxuan and educate the world, spread in academies and private schools in all directions, and educate all people.
With this order, all concerned people will understand that the Kong family is dead.
It's easy to disperse, but to come back together is like ascending to heaven.
