Chapter 353: Will the sun still rise?

Chapter 353 Will the sun still rise?

Probably only Zhiyao would feel that way, the rest of the higher-ups knew very well what the current situation of the "dual monarchy" was.

There are so few people who are willing to impart knowledge selflessly that even a “teacher” should be respected.

What is strange is that the nobles respect those who are teachers and are willing to learn from them, but on the other hand, they heartily reject those who spread knowledge indiscriminately.

To describe it with a mentality, they hope that only they can master certain knowledge, and do not want that knowledge to be spread to everyone.

One thing must be said: "Confucianism" has really existed for a long time. It was an official position in charge of etiquette a long time ago, and the name of the official position is not fixed.

For example, Xia Hou used the bird system to name official positions, Huangdi used clouds, and Taihao used dragons. Each period is really different.

In fact, there is really nothing to say about that. The simplest thing is that the titles of official positions have changed throughout the dynasties. The further back in time, the harder it is to understand.

Therefore, "Confucianism" used to be a title, but in the future it will become a school of thought. At the same time, the school of "Confucianism" had its own internal system a long time ago. It does not mean that all Confucians learn the same.

The knowledge is different, and the ideological outlook must be different.

Is Confucius the founder of Confucianism? Answer: No!

Are all Confucian scholars of later generations the disciples of Confucius? Answer: No!

So, as time goes by, why does Confucius' status become higher and higher? Answer: A shameless descendant of Confucius played a trick of smashing walls and forging a book called "Shangshu".

Why is it said that the descendant faked it? Answer: Confucius' residence was destroyed hundreds of years ago. If the descendant really smashed the wall, it was not the wall of Confucius' residence.

Zhiyao knows how scary it can be for a person to be shameless, especially if he is educated.

Let's put it this way, Zhiyao knows very well that she is a shameless person, and she is just pretending to be a shameless person.

Because of shame, Zhiyao did not immediately tell the disciples about the death of Confucius because the disciples still had a lot of unfinished work.

Until the news of Confucius's death reached the disciples' ears through other channels, and they elected representatives to come to Zhiyao to ask for leave, half a month had passed.

"In that case, you all need to leave." Zhiyao did not pretend to be surprised when she heard the news of Confucius' death.

What are you pretending to be?

Furthermore, the relationship between Zhiyao and Confucius was just like that, at most, they were the host and the diners.

Logically speaking, if Zhiyao's achievements were higher than Confucius's, it should be that Confucius felt honored because he once relied on Zhiyao for food, drink, clothing, and shelter.

Not Mi Tai!

Do you know how many people are proud to be the disciple of Lord Xinling? Liu Bang, who founded the Han Empire, often sighed because he did not have time to become the disciple of Lord Xinling. Zhang Er was looked down upon because he was the disciple of Lord Xinling. Everything.

Just because Lord Xinling's reputation is wide enough to make people miss him and to be remembered.

Zilu looked sad and said, "My master has passed away."

Zhiyao was silent for a while and said, "Can you please handle the follow-up matters properly?"

It’s not that you are trying to stop him from leaving!

If someone you think is important has an accident or dies of illness, you won't be able to help that person at all for a while. You can't get there in a snap, and you don't have the conditions to contact them immediately. You should explain to others the follow-up matters you are responsible for.

Right?

The first two times, the tasks at hand were not completed, and they did not even say goodbye. Many people were responsible for matters that were still in critical stages, and ran away without even giving the minimum explanation.

If the people who ran away were right, how should we describe the losses caused to Zhishi because of their running away?

Therefore, Zhiyao really didn't have emotions elsewhere, she simply felt that this group of people was unreasonable.

Zaiyu said: "Please stay."

Zhiyao was startled for a moment, then turned into astonishment.

What is strange is that the expressions of Zilu and others did not change. It was obvious that they had known about this for a long time and had already done what they wanted to do.

Zhiyao came back to her senses and shook her head, saying: "It can't be like this."

No matter what happens, Master should be present when he dies of illness.

Once Jaeyu is delayed by something and fails to attend the funeral, he will be scolded by his disciples and descendants for generations to come.

Then again, Jaeyu seems to be one of the characters used to highlight the greatness of Confucius among the disciples?

In the end, Zaiyu set foot on the road back to the State of Lu with the rest of his brothers.

To be honest, Zhiyao thinks that except for being outspoken and unobtrusive, Zhi Yao is very good.

If you insist on giving Jae Yu an image, Dongfang Shuo during the Western Han Dynasty looks quite similar to Jae Yu?

It was inevitable that a group of disciples would leave.

Zhiyao observed for a while and found no one else who wanted to attend Confucius's funeral, so her mood suddenly became quite complicated.

"According to his title, Confucius is a doctor. With their pursuit of 'Confucianism', they are not qualified to stay in the cold for such a long time..." Zhiyao really didn't want to bury Tai, she just felt that it was not good to say one thing and do another.

If they really wanted to bury him, Confucius's funeral was actually beyond the standards. Many things went beyond the rules they followed. The monarchs and ministers of the Lu State were serious enough to kill a large number of disciples.

The reason why the disciples were not slaughtered was, to put it bluntly, because of their identity. It was not because of their status as disciples. To put it bluntly, they were not nobles but also members of the "scholar" class, and their number was a bit too large, and many countries were involved.

Because Confucius was a noble official or a fallen official, it was naturally impossible for the State of Lu to issue an obituary notice, let alone invite anyone to attend the funeral in a national manner, and even the national level would be indifferent.

When the kings and ministers of various countries knew about Confucius' death, they probably thought: Oh, that Kong Er who often led hundreds or even thousands of people wandering around is dead? From now on, they will no longer be able to hear about the incidents where they went to fight with others.

No joke, there are many stories about Confucius traveling with his disciples, and there are several stories about where he was besieged.

The most famous one is the time when he was besieged by Chen and Cai. The reason was that Confucius heard that Chu invited him to be an official, and he went to Chu excitedly and happily. At that time, Chen and Cai were being bullied by Chu. Chen and Cai

The Cai people learned what Confucius and his party were going to do, and angrily surrounded them.

Why should Zhiyao be concerned about whether anyone other than the disciples would want to attend Confucius's funeral? The reason is that the enlightenment teachers of many people in the Zhi family were disciples, and she wondered whether the disciples would instill some ideas into them.

At the beginning, Zhiyao made an agreement with his disciples not to teach any other knowledge besides enlightenment.

Now it seems that the disciples obviously kept their word and did not teach anything other than literacy. Otherwise, with their brainwashing..., eh? In pursuit of the ability to respect teachers and respect the Tao, the literate people on Zhi's side would have run away at least ten times.

Four or five points?

Look, four to five tenths of the Zhi family's princes can be related to their disciples, and the remaining ones can also be related to their disciples. This proves that Zhi Yao licks... No, it's because of the employment of disciples.

effect.

There are currently at least 20,000 literate people in the Zhi family. Not only in the land of Zhuxia, but also in other places in Xiaopoqiu, the total number of literate people is probably about the same as the Zhi family?

Twenty thousand literate people will not be Zhi's limit. Zhiyao has always attached great importance to education. As time goes by, the number of literate people will inevitably increase again and again.

To a certain extent, the credit in it belongs to the disciples, but it has nothing to do with Confucius.

The reason for that is that the disciples went to Confucius to listen to his lectures because they were already literate. It was not that Confucius taught his disciples how to read from scratch. On the other hand, Zhishi just learned how to read from his disciples and did not learn other knowledge from them.

At present, Zhiyao also arranges to teach literacy. The first teaching material is the Book of Songs, followed by arithmetic, and later divided into subjects, including water conservancy and craftsmanship.

"Waiting for the complete settlement of the Qi State's affairs, Sima Ranju and Sun Wu will not be required to lead the troops unless necessary. Maybe we can add military personnel?" This is Zhiyao's plan.

Is it appropriate to open a military department? Maybe not so appropriate.

After all, how to lead an army can be taught, but how to train an army cannot be taught at will.

Let’s put it this way! Leading troops to fight depends on talent, but training troops is something that once word spreads, the ruler may be stabbed in the butt at any time.

For that reason, the rulers will ban any training soldiers they find, and they will only reuse similar talents when trouble comes. The best way in peacetime is to keep them in cold storage.

Zhiyao is definitely not so great that he has no scruples. The establishment of a military department will only train low-level officers and middle-level executors. Going up to the next level is actually not just a matter of teaching, but depends on the talent of each person.

"Liao, let's go to Lu." Zhiyao gave this order after his disciples left for a day.

The husband understood what Zhiyao meant after a moment's surprise, bowed and left silently.

After all, Zhiyao would not arrange an official position for Confucius, and at the same time, he would not attend the funeral beyond the standards. It was always necessary to send someone to the scene.

Zhiyao admitted that it was a bit excessive to send his husband there because he was a close official of Zhiyao.

As long as Fu Liao appears at Confucius's funeral, and those who attend the funeral know who Fu Liao is, it is impossible not to have relevant associations. For example, Confucius still received the attention of the generals of the Jin Dynasty, so Fu Liao was present.

Zhiyao needs to admit that in his heart he still hopes that his disciple will come back and continue to serve Zhishi.

Apart from anything else, there is no need for the disciples to continue teaching literacy. To be honest, after Zhishi started using simplified Chinese characters, the disciples were not familiar with the business if they wanted to teach him.

What Zhiyao couldn't bear to part with were the hundreds or thousands of literate people. Even if they couldn't do anything big, they could still play their role as cogs in the big machine of the Zhi family.

"Is Confucius dead? I also intend to go west, but I don't know when I will set off. According to the understanding of the cultural world, the old era has passed and the new era is about to come."

In this version of history, Confucius lived to be seventy-four years old, which was considered a long life.

I am now ninety-four years old, and I still look in great health.

To be honest, Zhiyao felt that it was necessary for her to learn how to maintain good health from me. What she was afraid of was that some people would be fine if they didn’t maintain good health, but if they learned how to maintain good health, their life span would be shortened.

"If heaven did not give birth to Zhongni, eternity would be like a long night? What a pity, the sun still rises every day."
