After they finished chatting with each other, Chu Nan looked at Chen Gong and said: "Sir, I would like to learn about Confucianism and Taoism, can you teach me.
When Chen Gong heard this, he looked at Chu Nan. He didn't agree immediately, but he didn't refuse either. Instead, he frowned in thought.
Chu Nan is not in a hurry. He knows very well that the Tao cannot be taught lightly, especially in this world. Learning is not just as simple as doing it, but also involves extraordinary power. Each family has its own unique practice system, and according to its own innate divine power,
Different, the derived abilities are also different, just like Jia Xu's Yin Formation, Cao Cao is also a well-informed person, but he was covered by Jia Xu's Yin Formation and didn't notice it at all.
For a long time, Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan and asked seriously: "Do you want to learn Confucianism or Taoism, or do you simply want to improve your own strength?"
"I have both, but mainly I want to improve my own strength." Chu Nan did not hide his thoughts. For him, the reason why he chose to practice Confucianism was just because the only person around him who could teach him was Chen Gong, who was already a military expert.
Zhang Liao and the others were not stingy about teaching him the basics, so if possible, he was prepared to study both Confucianism and Legalism.
"Then what do you think of Confucianism?" Chen Gong asked again.
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations." Chu Nan thought for a while and said, who said this, he did not remember, but it was widely spread in later generations, so it can be said that it is
Everyone knows it, but as for its origin... whoever is not dedicated to research will go into it. It just sounds very high-level. He is not even sure if it is Confucianism.
Chen Gong was stunned, looking at Chu Nan blankly, murmuring and repeating Chu Nan's words: "Establish a heart for the world, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations?"
"Sir?" Chu Nan looked at Chen Gong in confusion. As a layman, he just felt that these four sentences were very stylish and aura, but he didn't know that these sentences were very important to those who studied Confucianism and Taoism.
, what impact will it bring.
Chen Gong ignored him and just repeated Chu Nan's four sentences in a daze.
Suddenly, Chu Nan felt something in his heart. There seemed to be something surging towards Chen Gong. In his sight, the originally white cloud above Chen Gong's head began to turn yellow, and then began to turn blue again, and rapidly.
It grew strong and solid, and faintly, a vague human shape appeared above the clouds.
"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!'
Suddenly, these four sentences began to echo in the ears of everyone in Xiaopei City. Chu Nan looked at Chen Gong, but he did not speak. What happened?
Chu Nan looked at Chen Gong in confusion, but for some reason, as these four sentences echoed in his ears, there seemed to be a surge of energy in his heart. He didn't know why, but suddenly, a wave of energy rushed up in his heart.
Unspeakable pity, somehow in my mind, I suddenly experienced what I saw along the way to Xuchang.
The common people with sallow faces and thin muscles, who are over sixty years old, the old man with a stooped body who is still working in the fields, and the children on the roadside look at him in fear, but with a bit of begging eyes.
For a moment, I couldn't help but shed tears.
At the same time, in Xiaopei City, Lu Lingqi was cleaning up the bed at home and waiting for Chu Nan to come back to rest. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were reminiscing with Gao Shun in the military camp. At the same time, they felt something in their hearts and got up to go out, staring blankly in the direction of the government office.
"Mr. Gongtai?" Gao Shun frowned and said. He and Chen Gong were somewhat at odds with each other. This time he was ordered to temporarily station in Xiaopei for Zhang Liao. It was a rare cooperation between the two. On weekdays, except for Lu Bu, they basically discussed important matters.
People rarely work together.
"He is the only one in Xiaopei City." Zhang Liao looked in the direction of the government office, and then looked at Gao Shun: "Boping, are we going together?" Gao Shun nodded. The disagreement with Chen Gong was a personal grudge, but Chen Gong is now
The breakthrough is a good thing and a major event for Lu Bu's forces. He should congratulate him both emotionally and rationally.
At that moment, the two of them got up and went straight to the government office.
The shadow above Chen Gong became more and more solid, and it seemed that the shadow was Chen Gong himself. The shadow held a thick bamboo slip in one hand and a bit of arrogance and pity in its eyes.
Is this Confucianism?
Chu Nan looked at Chen Gong in astonishment. It was clearly his own words, but why didn't he react, but Chen Gong saw such a breakthrough?
Is there any heavenly principle?
While Chu Nan was slandering, there was a knock on the door. Chu Nan got up and opened the door, only to see his wife standing outside the door.
"What's the matter, madam?" Chu Nan looked at Lu Lingqi doubtfully.
"Sir seems to have made a breakthrough. He came here to congratulate you. Uncle Wen Yuan and General Gao are also here." Lu Lingqi glanced at Chen Gong and said softly.
"How do you know?" Chu Nan asked confused.
"The whole city is full of righteousness, and the words of Confucianism are echoing in my ears." Lu Lingqi's cold face showed a rare look of reverence: "I only know that in this world, the only one who has died is the great Confucian Cai Yong.
Lu Shuai and the great Confucian scholar Zheng Xuan of Qingzhou once had such momentum, and even further away, it was the great Confucian scholar Ma Rong."
In other words, anyone who can produce such visions is a great Confucian.
A great Confucian was born under Lu Bu, which was a big event and a good thing for Lu Bu.
While he was talking, Zhang Liao and a serious-looking general walked over here under the leadership of the guards in the mansion.
"Zi Yan, how did Mr. Gongtai break through?" Zhang Liao looked at Chu Nan and asked with a smile.
"I don't know either." Chu Nan shook his head. He only said four very powerful words. As for why these four sentences made Chen Gong have such a big reaction, Chu Nan really didn't know.
"Don't bother sir, I'll be waiting outside to protect Mr. Gongtai so that Xiaoxiao won't cause trouble." Zhang Liao looked at Chen Gong's momentum and said to everyone that he might not be able to stop for a while.
"good!
Chu Nan closed the door, exited the room with everyone, went to the pavilion in the courtyard, and let the demon ants and demon mantis fly to the roof to defend themselves.
"This is Gao Shun, General Gao. Ziyan should have heard of it," Zhang Liao introduced to Chu Nan.
"My wife and I met on the day we got married, but we were too busy that day and didn't entertain her well." Chu Nan saluted Gao Shun. "Young master, there is no need to be polite." Gao Shun smiled seriously and gave Chu Nan a military salute seriously.
.
"Now that Mr. Gongtai has become a great Confucian, my lord has also obtained the position of state shepherd. It is a good thing for my lord, but because of this, people will be jealous. This is the case for Cao Cao, and the same is true for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Whether it is a blessing or a disaster is unpredictable.
"Zhang Liao said with emotion.
Although Chen Gong was also an outstanding counselor before, he was not necessarily better than others. It was just unexpected that he became a great Confucian first.
"General, I have never known how to distinguish the realm of Confucianism?" Chu Nan asked curiously.
"Realm?" Zhang Liao thought for a while and said: "Before the Great Confucianism, although there were strong and weak people, there was no distinction between realms. However, when Confucianism entered the Great Confucian state, righteousness would soar into the sky, and the voice of Confucianism could be heard everywhere. Therefore, with talent
To be called a great Confucian means to have achieved great success in Confucianism and Taoism. In the past ten years, Mr. Gongtai was the only person in the Han Dynasty who became a great Confucian since Lu Shuai."
"Apart from Cai Yong, Lu Shuai, and Zheng Xuan, are there no other great scholars in the Han Dynasty?" Chu Nan asked curiously.
"Yes, it is said that there are two great Confucians in Jingzhou, but I don't know who they are. There is a Mr. Kong Ming in Yingchuan, named Hu Zhao. I heard that he is also a great Confucian. However, these few are not interested in worldly affairs and do not recruit many disciples, so they are not as good as
Lu Shuai and others are famous." Zhang Liao shook his head. "In other words, Confucianism only has great Confucianism and non-great Confucianism? There are no other levels?" Chu Nan said in shock.
Zhang Liao shook his head: "I have never heard of it, but there is indeed a difference between strength and weakness, and the difference may be huge. The powerful ones can speak and speak, the ordinary ones are mediocre, without any great power, and the words and deeds of the great Confucianism are all
The rules can be changed. I heard that when Lu Shuai led his troops to conquer Zhang Jiao, he once made the hundreds of thousands of corpse soldiers gathered in Zhang Jiao lose control and kill each other."
"Is there such a thing as a great scholar among military strategists?" Chu Nan asked.
"Military strategists are different from Confucianists. In a battle formation, the energy of thousands of troops forms a world of its own, and can integrate any force. If a great Confucian practices military art, and cooperates with the great Confucian's words and methods, the formation can be more powerful. But a warrior is like the Lord.
I once broke through a certain shackles on the battlefield, and at that moment, I suppressed all directions. The Hu people were not good at fighting. The battle formation that they finally gathered was directly broken under the pressure of the lord. Thousands of Hu barbarians bled to death. Our army
But he's safe and sound." Zhang Liao fell into some kind of memory. At that time, Lu Bu was so strong that he was terribly strong. Thinking about it now, he couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart.
"The realm that Ziyan mentioned can only be found in Taoism, but I don't know how to divide it specifically." Zhang Liao said with a smile: "The military strategist may also have a realm similar to that of the great Confucians, but so far, no one has reached it, at least in this world.
No."
Chu Nan felt a little regretful. Although this world knew about cultivation, and its power was not weak after successful cultivation, overall, it was still in the age of exploration and had not established a complete system.
Also, others have established a complete system over thousands of years, but here, although there is practice, it is still in the barbaric stage. Maybe there will be a division of realms in the future, but there is not now, which is a headache.
, I may have to learn and innovate at the same time.
Of course, there is another way, and that is to obtain it through the secret realm.
Didn't Diao Chan say before that it is possible for ancient inheritance to appear in the secret realm? In other words, there was a flourishing age of cultivation in ancient times, but it later declined.
Chu Nan didn't have the confidence to establish a sect, so he could only place his hopes on the secret realm. He didn't know when the secret realm on Tian Heng Island would be opened, so he needed to pay close attention to it.
The most important thing right now is to learn the Confucian method from Chen Gong. He can break through the Confucianism all by himself. If you have given him such a big favor, you can't refuse it, right?
What is the magic power of these four sentences? It can make a barely first-rate counselor instantly break through to the realm of Confucianism.
But are counselors and great scholars the same system?
Chu Nan was thinking about all sorts of things in his mind, but the strange images caused by Chen Gong's breakthrough over there were gradually coming to light.
Gao Shun raised his head and looked at Chen Gong's room: "Wake up."
