Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty followed Dong Zhongshu's suggestion and withdrew from the national policy of "deposing hundreds of schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone," Confucianism has become the only orthodoxy in terms of legal principles.
Hundreds of schools of thought were attacked by both the government and the opposition, and were already ruined and withered, barely surviving.
After the fall of the Western Han Dynasty, especially at the end of the reign, the national policy of "exclusively respecting Confucianism" was slightly relieved. After all, the current situation was difficult and the world was unstable. Most of the rulers' energy was to maintain their own rule and stabilize domestic conflicts. For all the scholars, The blow of home is softened.
In the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, the various schools of thought gradually eased and their vitality recovered slightly.
Liu Hui, Zu Chongzhi, Li Daoyuan, Jia Sixie, Fan Zhen, Ma Jun, Ge Hong, Pei Xiu, Wang Shuhe...many are either pioneers of natural science or founders of advanced ideas, who emerged during this period. , dazzling and dazzling, leaving behind an endless stream of masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.
However, troubled times promoted the prosperity of various schools of thought because the rulers were unable to suppress them. When the Sui Dynasty unified the north and south, and the Tang Dynasty brought peace and prosperity, and the imperial power was concentrated, Confucianism came back to life because of its unique political attributes. Zibaijia began to suppress brutally.
…
Subjects such as arithmetic, policy theory, etc. were included in the imperial examination. This was the emperor's will and no one could resist it.
However, the Confucian bigwigs who had to compromise with the emperor's tough attitude at the upper levels turned around and began to set up layers of fetters on the various schools of thought at the lower levels, sparing no effort to suppress them.
The "resistance" Li Tai calls comes from the lower levels.
"Schools in various places are under the supervision of the government. The teachers and education funds are in the hands of the government. Confucian scholars are particularly influential among the people. These people have countless old friends and disciples, and they can be picked out at will. One, there is a big network built in the countryside, with orders coming from top to bottom. They dare not resist openly, but secretly they have many methods and it is difficult to guard against them."
Li Tai shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighing again and again.
The "Revitalization Association" is committed to the advancement of all schools of thought and the contention of hundreds of schools of thought. This is tantamount to disturbing the fundamentals of Confucianism. How can it not lead to resistance?
Never mind that when Confucianism is not in trouble, it will cause internal strife. The Gongyang School and the Guliang School are fighting endlessly, and modern and ancient texts will not give in to each other. However, once they encounter foreign enemies, they will immediately unite and point their guns at the outside world. Confucianism will never be allowed to dominate. Under threat.
Fortunately, this was led by Li Tai. Fearing the emperor's favor and trust in him, no one dared to go too far. If it had been another person, there is no telling what despicable and dirty methods these so-called "great scholars" would use. He will never recover...
Fang Jun sipped his tea and pondered for a long time. He suddenly raised his head, came close to Li Tai, and whispered: "Why don't Your Highness meet with Your Majesty and ask for the establishment of a separate yamen to take charge of the schools in all states and counties in the world? As the saying goes, 'Ten years of trees, a hundred years. There is a long way to go to educate people. Having a specialized yamen to manage schools can greatly circumvent all kinds of restrictions and difficulties from local governments. Didn't His Majesty once say that he would use royal funds to subsidize students all over the world? Why not? I advise Your Majesty to allocate funds directly from internal funds to the newly established education office..."
Li Tai was stunned for a moment, blinked, and then slammed the table with a "bang" sound, which startled the guests present and all looked over in surprise.
"Wonderful! Erlang's plan is very clever!"
Li Tai danced with excitement, not paying attention to the surprised looks from around him. He stood up immediately and said, "I am going to the palace overnight to see my father!"
After saying that, he turned around to leave, not wanting to delay for a moment.
Fang Jun quickly stretched out his hand to hold him, and said helplessly: "You are so old, how can you be so irritable..."
He pulled Li Tai to sit down, leaned forward, and whispered in his ear: "This is just a plan. Whether it will work or not is not yet known. Furthermore, how to build this yamen, how to manage it, how to Do you have any clues about how to separate yourself from all the states and counties in the world? There is no need to rush for a while, calm down, think carefully and carefully, and try to impress His Majesty with one move. Otherwise, if it is delayed, it may increase variables."
Li Tai was shocked and said quickly: "I am impatient. What Erlang said is true!"
This is equivalent to setting up an educational institution, with the emperor in charge and Li Tai in charge, to vertically manage schools all over the world and separate education from local government affairs. This is simply to steal food from the local government. Once the news If it is leaked, not only the Confucians will oppose it, but the local officials will also refuse.
We must come up with a complete system to impress His Majesty Li Er in one fell swoop, and then work from top to bottom to get things done with lightning speed.
Otherwise, once the delay continues, even with His Majesty Li Er's support, he may not be able to withstand the pressure from all aspects...
This matter cannot be rushed, and must be well prepared to hit the target in one blow.
…
Cheng Chuliang showed up with Cheng Chubi, Cheng Chucun and other brothers to greet the guests and the banquet began.
Cheng Chuliang naturally sat at King Wei's table. He politely toasted a round of wine, thanked everyone for coming to the banquet, and invited everyone to come during the main banquet tomorrow.
Everyone naturally agreed.
Fang Jun saw that although Cheng Chuliang was smiling, he always had some forced smile on his face, so he couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what's the problem?"
Cheng Chuliang hesitated for a moment, then put down his wine glass and sighed, his face filled with sadness.
"His Highness has a delicate body. After giving birth, he was even more weak and short of breath, and his roots were damaged. Now that he has passed the confinement period, he is still bedridden and extremely weak. The imperial doctor in the palace asserted that if this continues for a long time, he is afraid of seriously damaging his roots and damaging his body. Ji Shouyuan..."
There was silence at the wine table.
These days, the level of medical care is extremely low. When a woman gives birth, she is almost on the verge of death. Even if a royal princess is treated by an imperial doctor and enjoys the best medical conditions in the world, her situation is not much better.
The princes are at odds with each other, and no one likes them. However, the relationship between brothers and sisters is very good. Princess Qinghe, in particular, is gentle, reserved, and uncontested, and is loved by her brothers and sisters the most. , hearing Cheng Chuliang's words at this moment, everyone felt pity in their hearts.
Li Tai looked gloomy and said, "Can you please ask Master Sun for diagnosis and treatment?"
Cheng Chuliang made a sad face: "How can it be so easy to invite Taoist Master Sun? I have been there several times in person, but I have never even met him."
Sun Simiao now lives in the medical office in the south of the city, where he developed Artemisia annua water. He studies "Qianjin Prescription" day and night, deleting and modifying the ancient prescriptions collected in the past. His manpower is sometimes poor, and he has no more energy to diagnose and treat patients. Except when His Majesty Li Er summons him, he will never see anyone else. Even if the princes and ministers in Chang'an City want to see him, they can't.
Li Tai said: "I will come to the palace in the Ming Dynasty and ask my father to issue an edict to order Master Sun to come to the house to diagnose and treat Qinghe. Chu Liang, don't worry too much. Master Sun has great medical skills and can even give birth to a baby like Sizi." All the stubborn diseases caused by it can be cured, not to mention that Qinghe is just weak after childbirth and has irregular qi and blood?"
Cheng Chuliang said gratefully: "So, thank you so much, Your Highness!"
Li Tai waved his hand and said, "My sister, why do you need to be polite?"
Fang Jun didn't interrupt at first, but after listening to Li Tai's words, his heart suddenly moved, and an idea came to him...
Then he said: "Your Majesty usually has a lot of administrative affairs, and it is hard to sleep at night. These days are even more busy. How can we ministers ask each other for everything? I have some friendship with Taoist Sun. Why don't I go to see Taoist Sun early tomorrow morning? , invite him to come to the house to diagnose and treat His Highness Qinghe, and if that fails, it will not be too late to invite His Highness King Wei into the palace."
Cheng Chuliang was very grateful and quickly raised his glass to express his thanks: "Then it's Lao Erlang. Brother Yu is not good at words. I will keep this friendship in my heart."
After saying that, drink it all in one gulp.
Then, he drank three cups in a row.
For the dignitaries, power, fame and wealth are secondary. Only by having a life can they enjoy the glory and wealth for a long time. Therefore, the status of a miracle doctor like Sun Simiao, who has medical skills and supernatural powers, is absolutely beyond imagination. It's just that although Sun Simiao helped the world by hanging a pot, regardless of high or low, and often received no penny after diagnosis and treatment, and even gave away decoctions and medicines, he did not treat the powerful with pretentious remarks.
In Sun Simiao's eyes, there is no high or low life, there is no difference between an emperor, a general, or a trafficker and a pawn.
He is now concentrating on compiling the second volume of "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions" and can't wait to publish it all over the world so that it can benefit more patients. Therefore, he refuses to refuse to all those who seek medical treatment and refuses to delay it even for a moment.
Even His Majesty Li Er did not want to disturb Sun Simiao at this time, for fear of planting a grudge in his heart. The most important thing is that with Sun Simiao's temperament, if he disobeys the order, His Majesty Li Er's face will fall to the ground. Already...
Therefore, if Li Tai goes to the palace to plead for His Majesty's decree, it will also embarrass His Majesty.
Now that Fang Jun took the initiative to ask for help, Li Tai also breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that it was no accident that Fang Er was favored by his father. At the very least, a character like this that has insight into people's hearts and is willing to relieve others' worries will be appreciated by countless people. .
Everyone knows that Fang Jun himself contributed money to publish the book "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions" for Sun Simiao. He had a very good personal relationship with Sun Simiao. With him in the spotlight, he would definitely give up this reputation compared to Sun Simiao.
Cheng Chuliang was in a good mood, and immediately took Fang Jun to encourage him to drink. The gloom disappeared during the banquet, and the banquet became more and more lively.
