Luo Youdu added an annotation to the memorial on the case: Confucius is not a single person. The officials who worship Confucius should be appointed by the imperial court and be filled by virtuous people.
Zhubi imperial approval.
He put the memorial together, and the affairs of the Kong family came to an end.
As for the next arrangements, someone from the court will naturally deal with the aftermath.
It doesn't matter what the process is like, as long as he, the emperor, knows the result.
He doesn’t want to imitate Guo Rong and do everything by himself.
The biggest gain from this incident was that the library that had been inherited by the Confucius family for thousands of years was returned to the imperial court and the power of the Confucius family to worship was taken back.
This is the key to the Kong family's rise again.
Ancient times are no different than modern times. There are various ways to preserve knowledge, even pasting and copying, which is simple and direct.
Under ancient conditions, preserving unique classics required a lot of money and effort, which most people couldn't afford.
Only aristocratic families have the ability to collect and preserve books. The same is true, the spread of culture is in their hands, and so is the right to interpret.
The Confucius family no longer has a library. For several generations, the acquisition of knowledge is no different from ordinary people, and it is difficult to convince the public.
The same principle applies to the right of sacrifice. The Confucius family held a sacrifice ceremony, and all the scholars gathered under the Confucius family banner to worship Confucius.
The Kong family naturally gained both fame and fortune.
Now that these two things have been lost, the Confucius family has lost its heritage. The only thing it can rely on is the identity of a descendant of Confucius.
Therefore, Luo Youdu specially dispersed the Confucius family and spread them everywhere to carry out teachings and good deeds.
To put it bluntly, family is a community of interests. The interests are the same and everyone shares weal and woe. Naturally, they are of the same mind.
Once they are separated and each has developed, it will not be easy to get back together.
By then, the descendants of the Kong family in all directions will have their own roots, branches and leaves, and if they grab a handful, they will no longer be worth anything.
If we really want to establish another head of the Kong family, it is estimated that the Kong family members from all over the world will punch their brains out.
After stretching and thinking about the current situation, Luo Youdu felt happy and said to himself: "Let the bullets fly for a while!"
The bullet he was talking about was Hengqu Four Sentences.
The power of these four sentences is far from fermented.
When these four sentences spread throughout the world, Luo Youdu planned to start the first set of reforms.
educate.
As a later generation, Luo Youdu knew that education is the first element of a strong country.
Improving the literacy rate and increasing people's intelligence will help improve the progress of all walks of life.
“How to operate in line with national conditions?”
Luo Youdu thought alone:
Don't take too big a step, as this can easily cause you to lose weight.
Comprehensive promotion would be too harmful to the economy and inconsistent with the situation.
You can start with your children.
Grasp your child’s education, step by step.
We must also learn from the lessons of the Song and Ming dynasties, and we cannot blindly attach importance to culture and education and ignore military matters.
It is true that the world needs to be governed by men of letters, but to conquer and defend the world it must be men of arms.
Luo Youdu was lying on the couch, and his thoughts were like a fountain, and he couldn't stop.
He stood up suddenly and took out a pen and paper to write down his plan.
The beginning of writing is the all-round development of morality, intelligence and body.
As for beauty, it is a matter of the future. The times have not developed to that point, so there is no need to pursue beauty.
However, moral character is still necessary and must be given priority.
Otherwise, if you have worked hard to cultivate a group of rebellious young people, who will you cry to?
In addition to culture and education, you must also pay attention to sports, and you cannot become stupid by studying.
Putting the cart before the horse.
Come up with a sport and let the children exercise themselves while playing. Those with extraordinary talents can show their talents early.
The first thing that came to Luo Youdu's mind were the major ball sports: volleyball, rugby, football, and basketball.
Rugby is removed first. This sport can be said to be the most intense ball sport, but because it is too intense, it is too easy to get injured.
Carrying out such intense exercise without a protective gear is no different than playing a game with your own life.
Basketball has court restrictions and is not suitable.
Football and volleyball are the simplest. You can play with two stones on one base and a piece of cloth on the other and hang it up.
Volleyball is obviously not as good as football in terms of confrontation...
Just football. It just so happens that Cuju is also played in this era. All we need to do is change the rules.
By the way, overtaking on a curve is a thousand years earlier than in the West, so it won’t be so awkward in the future.
Just when Luo Youdu was planning his future education, Hengqu's Four Sentences began to ferment.
The first to be affected was Bianjing.
Imperial College.
The author Zuo Lang Lu Duan was confused at work and left work at home in a confused manner.
No dynamic direction goals…
Many years ago, Lu Duan was also a motivated young man, smart and studious, and famous in his hometown.
Lu Duan was determined to take part in the imperial examination and jumped to the dragon gate, only to find that his road in life was already paved.
His father, Lu Qi, was a famous minister who served successively as secretary-supervisor, rites, punishment, household, minister of the Ministry of War, and doctor Jin Ziguanglu.
He did not need to take the imperial examination in his life. He directly relied on his father's influence to prepare himself as a candidate for Qianniu, and then served as the author's assistant.
What is Zuo Lang?
It is the official position of assisting the prime minister in reviewing information and assisting the prime minister in compiling history.
The position is not high, but you can be promoted very quickly.
And then there was no and then...
Life can be achieved by just lying down and messing around. What's the point of working hard?
Lu Duan was a little confused and couldn't find his own value.
He was confused when it came to work. Compiling national history and searching for information, he couldn't do such detailed work, and he couldn't do it well. Omissions and typos were common.
Compiling national history is a delicate job. Ordinary people like him have been scolded for a long time, but he also received a few words of criticism.
Eventually I got used to it and didn't even bother to talk about it anymore.
Lu Duan lost interest even more and ate in the Imperial Academy waiting to die.
"Brother Lu!"
"Brother Lu!"
Passersby and his colleagues all greeted him.
Lu Duan also responded one by one.
His friend Yan Bai quickly came to Lu Duan, bumped into him, and whispered: "Oh my God, brother Yi Zhi, you really hit the mark. Where did you get the news?"
It turned out that when the Kong family came to Beijing with great fanfare, Lu Duan said: "The Kong family will not be able to please you when they come to Beijing this time."
Now it is indeed as he said.
Lu Duan smiled and said: "Where did the news come from? It's just a wild guess."
Yan Bai looked at his friend suspiciously.
Lu Duan didn't explain. It was also a crime to speculate randomly. The last time he criticized the Kong family's entry into Beijing, he regretted it. He just drank too much and couldn't shut up for a while.
Some of the political decrees issued by Lu Duan after Luo Youdu ascended the throne have already analyzed that the new emperor is an emperor who attaches great importance to education.
The Confucius family completely misjudged the situation and were unaware that the new emperor respected Confucius, but the reason for his respect was not Confucianism, but culture and education.
The Kong family had long ago thrown their ancestors' belongings into the toilet. How could they get anything better from His Majesty who valued culture and education?
It's just that Lu Duan didn't expect that it would cause such a big fuss.
When Yan Bai saw that Lu Duan didn't explain, he stopped asking in detail. Instead, he took a copybook from his arms and said, "Brother Yi Zhi, please evaluate my brother's calligraphy. Is there any improvement?"
Lu Duan took it and took a look: it was the Four Sentences of Hengqu.
The pupils of Lu Duan's eyes shrank, his lazy look suddenly disappeared, and he shouted: "Brother, did you make this sentence?"
Yan Bai smiled and said: "Brother Yi Zhi, how can I do this? Brother Yi Zhi, you really don't hear what is going on outside the window. This is a wonderful line that your Majesty blurted out when he was reprimanding the Confucius family. It is now called the Four Imperial Proverbs."
"
Lu Duan felt his blood boiling all over his body, thinking about the years he had wasted, and he immediately felt very upset.
So what about this shortcut?
As long as you can do things for the people, you can do things for the world, and you can serve such a benevolent monarch and holy master, you can accomplish a cause and create peace for all generations.
What does it matter whether the path we take is a shortcut?
The mountain behind Qiancheng Temple in Luoyang.
In a dark cave, a young man in tattered clothes lay on the ground and carefully spread out the "Book of Rites". He lay on the stone-covered ground and wrote with branches.
He wrote every word with great care and excellent quality. When someone came behind him, he didn't even know it.
"Good words!"
It wasn't until the other person exclaimed in surprise that the young man realized there was a person standing behind him. He hugged his only book in fear, leaned his body against the cave wall in fear, and looked at the other person warily.
The visitor was a middle-aged man with a big belly. Seeing that he had frightened the young man, he hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I don't mean any harm. I just heard that there is a mother and son in the mountains behind Qiancheng Temple. The young man is extremely smart and is the best among people."
Longfeng. I have some money here. You can use it to study. When you grow up, help more people."
The young man shook his head and said, "I don't want your money."
The middle-aged man smiled even more cheerfully and said: "You have the guts. Let's do this. I will donate a set of books to the temple later. Master Huiru in the temple is a wise man. If you don't understand, you can ask him."
"I'll give you a copybook, there's no reason to refuse, right?"
The middle-aged man gave the boy four verses from Hengqu.
The middle-aged man is a very ordinary businessman. He was also a scholar in his early years. Because he had no future in studying, he turned to business and his family wealth became increasingly rich.
People are becoming more and more philistine, until the four sentences of Hengqu are seen, the situation of studying hard in the early years of poverty comes to mind, and the accumulated wealth in an instant is no longer valuable.
I just happened to hear that there is a mother and son in the mountains behind Qiancheng Temple. It is the first time in their lives that they have dispersed their wealth, but they have not yet dispersed it.
"gone!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand.
The young man bowed respectfully: "Lu Meng thanked his benefactor, dare I ask his name?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I'm ashamed to register my number, so let's just say goodbye!"
The young man Lu Meng was looking at the Hengqu Four Sentences in his hand, his eyes shining with brilliance.
Similar things are common in all parts of the Central Plains.
For readers, Hengqu's four sentences are like spiritual food, making people's blood boil.
The place that really caused a stir was Jiangnan.
Jiangnan was the pure land of the troubled times of the Five Dynasties. The literary style of Jiangnan was the most prosperous in the world.
Jiangnan has always looked down upon the Central Plains.
Why should the culture and education of the Central Plains, the culture of the Central Plains, and the poetry of the Central Plains be compared with those of Jiangnan?
That is to say, if you have stronger force, you can fight a little.
But as the four lines of Hengqu were introduced to Jiangnan, the whole Jiangnan area became silent.
"Father!"
Li Congjia limped to Li Jing.
Seeing Li Jing secretly hiding a copybook in his arms, he ignored it and said, "Father, I want to go to Bianjing."
Li Jing frowned and said, "What are you doing in Bianjing?"
Li Congjia admired him and said: "Go and meet the Emperor of the Central Plains and see what kind of person he is who can write four lines of royal maxims!"
