Today, Confucius is famous all over the world. No one does not know his virtues and knowledge. Countless people respect him as Zi.
It's just that his kingly ways are really not in line with the wishes of the kings of other countries to dominate. However, he recruited many disciples and taught them without distinction. Therefore, many talented people among his disciples served in various countries, especially Wu Hou Qingji, who can be regarded as one of his disciples. One, this makes him quite famous in the world.
Compared with Confucius who was so active in the world, Laozi was quite calm and unfazed. Those who were willing to learn would listen to the sermon on time, and those who were unwilling to learn would not force it.
Confucius had been in the Luo Academy for many years, especially when Laozi gradually retired, so he had been serving as the academy's liberator, and he was greatly favored by the Luo family.
Seeing Confucius coming, Luo Ci forcibly stood up and saluted, saying, "Master Zhongni, I have a favor to ask of you, so I trouble the prince to invite you here."
Confucius hurriedly returned the greeting and said: "My Majesty is serious in his words. Thanks to your care these years, my disciples have prospered. Please tell me what I need."
Luo Ci seemed to be remembering something and said slowly: "You know that there is a book among the Luo family's classics called "Luo Palace Spring and Autumn", which was written by our ancestor Ming Gong."
Confucius became a little excited. The saint he admired most was King Su. The classics written by King Su were exquisite and extensive, but very complicated. The one he studied the most was Luo Minggong Luo Xiu.
"Luo Yu" written by Luo Xiu has been widely spread among the academy and the world, but "Luo Palace Spring and Autumn" is relatively not that famous.
However, Confucius highly praised this book. It contains subtle words and great meanings, and every word of praise and criticism made him fascinated every time he read it.
"Luogong Chunqiu" records the history of the Luo Kingdom for more than two hundred years from King Wu to King Yi's death.
It records the major events of the entire state and Zhou Dynasty from the perspective of the Luo Kingdom. The book contains subtle words and great meanings, and every sentence contains a connotation of praise and criticism, but it can record history truthfully.
Luo Guogong called it "Spring and Autumn Brushwork"!
Whether writing or reading this classic requires extremely high academic accomplishment.
Zhongni Gong, this classic is of extremely high value. When our ancestors compiled it, every word was carefully considered, but the meaning was obscure. Over the years, the Luo family's descendants have continued to elaborate on this book, and they can write a magnificent article every time with more than ten words. "
Confucius deeply believed what Luo Ci said. With his wisdom and talent, he had to read this book carefully to feel the deep meaning hidden in it.
When Luo Ci said this, Confucius thought that Luo Ci hoped that he could make a "Luo Gong Chunqiu Collection" to explain the principles, lower the reading threshold of this book, and let more people in the world pay attention to this book. That's exactly what he wanted to do.
Just listen to Luo Ci sigh: "After King Yi, King Xi came to the throne. That period of history is too dark, and our ancestors also had it because of this...
The ancestor Ming Gong was unwilling to write the subsequent historical records, but the Qing Shi Zhao Zhao was a treasure passed down to future generations in the Xia Dynasty. Now that it has been more than two hundred years since King Xi, it is time to restart the compilation of this period of historical facts.
After the death of their ancestor Ming Gong, the descendants of the Luo family were unworthy, and there was no such talent as his old man. He could only explain "Luo Gong Spring and Autumn", but he was powerless to compile such a masterpiece.
Lord Zhongni, you are a saint who is proficient in kingly ways and Zhou rites. I have seen the classics written by you. They are of profound meaning and can surely be used for the compilation of history books for more than two hundred years.
The Luo family has official histories of the royal family and history books of various countries. It is up to you to choose. I hope it can be a continuation of "Luo Palace Spring and Autumn".
What the ancestors did is called "Luo Gong Chunqiu·Government", and what you wrote is called "Luo Gong Chunqiu·Respecting the King". The two articles are combined into one to teach future generations. This is what a person can do, and it is the greatest. matter. "
This kind of re-editing based on the existing history, and using one or two words to express an attitude towards a certain thing. If it is one or two things, it is fine, but the history of more than two hundred years must be consistent, which is very important for the compilation The test of the author's ability is extremely high.
Luo Guogong's office has always hoped to make a classic that is not inferior to the ancestors. After all, the continuation is so poor that it may even affect the reputation of the ancestors.
So we waited until Confucius, a saint who was proficient in kingly laws, Zhou etiquette, and extremely academically accomplished, was born, and the compilation of this book could finally begin.
Luo Ci actually tried to get him to continue writing "Luo Palace Spring and Autumn"!
With such a calm mind, Confucius was in a daze. He never expected that this would happen, and that Luo Guo's office would actually leave this matter in his hands!
Writing history is a glorious and noble right!
Under the pen and knife, all the achievements and demerits of a thousand years can be found in the palm of your hand.
Confucius originally wanted to imitate "Luo Palace Spring and Autumn" and use the history books of the Luo Kingdom as a blueprint to sort out the history of the state and Zhou Dynasty since King Xi trampled on the patriarchal clan, and express his judgment on today's chaotic world.
But I have never known how to speak. After all, this is not a trivial matter. One mistake may even affect Duke Luo Ming's reputation.
But now Luo Ci has given this power to him directly from the Luo Kingdom official, which is a very high level of trust.
Confucius was very moved and said: "Luo Hou, Qiu, thanks to your trust, serves as a sacrificial wine in the Luo Kingdom Academy.
Now he is willing to hand over the compilation of "Luogong Chunqiu" to Qiu's hands. How much trust does this show?
This is the country established by King Su. Qiu is willing to swear an oath in the name of King Su. You can rest assured that Qiu Ding will do his best to live up to your trust and will not bring shame to Duke Ming.
After the sequel is completed, he will gather his disciples and make "Luogong Chunqiu Collection" known to the world! "
A cheerful smile appeared on Luo Ci's face. There were two big killers, "Luo Yu" and "Luo Palace Spring and Autumn", and Confucius, the saint who was best at teaching students, preached the doctrine.
In the future, when the troubled times are over, these two theories will be spread all over the world and even reach the top of the hall. By then, Luo's road to regaining power will surely be smooth.
Moreover, our ancestors would probably like the popularity of this theory, right?
Luo Ci was right. His 89-point academic level played a huge role at this time. When Luo Xiu established the academy and wrote "Luo Yu", it brought him a lot of luck points.
Although Luo Ci is not a child of destiny, if these theories can be carried forward through the academy, it will really bring a lot of luck points to Ji Zhao, and it will be the kind of luck points that will not increase the dispute between Bang and Zhou.
Luo Ci, who fulfilled his last wish, naturally failed to see the entire "Luo Palace Spring and Autumn: Honoring the King" by Confucius.
He passed away amidst the weeping of everyone on a very cold winter. As an academic monarch, he had a very high prestige in the academy, and countless students mourned for him.
The Emperor of Zhou sent people to express condolences and gave him the posthumous title of "Xiao" and called him Luo Xiaogong.
When Luo Yan ascended the throne, he did not choose a prince, but the people in the palace already understood that this must be Prince Yu's natural beauty, so they delayed the appointment to see how far he could go.
Everyone was a little envious, and then began to do their own things. People just have to accept their own mediocrity.
Luo Yu is a little less chic.
After marrying Xi Shi, he was very happy every day. Even if he didn't do anything, just looking at Xi Shi's face, he would feel a sense of clarity all over his body.
But later he felt his father's attention. As a descendant of the Luo Kingdom, since he has talents, he must shoulder the heavy burden on himself.
"Before my death, my ancestors kept thinking about the affairs of Jin and Qi. Qin and Chu are becoming more and more powerful. We must do our best to ensure the stability of Qi and Jin!"
Confucius began to write books and teach his students.
"The world of Datong written by Ming Gong comes from King Su. What we have to do is to find the road to Datong in reality.
All classics must be based on this. "
The classic doctrines written by Duke Luo Minggong, together with Confucius's thinking over the years, began to spread widely among his disciples. They united with some of the descendants of the Dukes of Luo Kingdom, and gradually formed the prototype of a school with the interpretation of these doctrines as its core.
The doctrine co-authored by the two saints is simply magnificent and can really make people feel a perfect and glorious ancient world.
From the beginning of Luo Ci to the early days of Luo Yan's accession to the throne, princes and scholars from these countries came and went. Many people rushed to various countries to become officials, hoping to show what they had learned. This is the most prosperous era since the Academy was established more than a hundred years ago!
Everyone not only discussed those theoretical ideas, but also applied them to the analysis of affairs in various countries. Because we live in a time of great strife, no matter how kingly we talk, the style of painting in the end is still about enriching the country and strengthening the army.
"Countries all over the world are vying for the position of Fang Bo. All the kings want to enrich the country and strengthen the army. We are either nobles of the countries or great officials. It is time to show what we have learned to help the king and be the leader in the world."
At the time of the alliance, the alliance leader was the leader, so there is this saying. Now, except for Chu, no one wants to replace Emperor Zhou, and it is mainly limited to hegemony.
In this atmosphere, Guan Zhong, who once served as the Prime Minister of Qi and assisted Duke Huan of Qi in seeking hegemony, was naturally mentioned frequently, especially his reforms in Qi.
The various policies Guan Zhong used for various countries have always been talked about by people, but they have never been studied together by hundreds of intelligent people.
Nowadays, this kind of intelligent people debate one small thing every three days and one big debate every five days. To everyone's expectation, a kind of scholarship that is very different from Li Er's Tiandao and Luo Kong Wangdao has appeared.
This theory points directly to the root cause of a rich country and a strong army, that is, the state strengthens its control over land and population, and the state controls more tax revenue. It is best to squeeze out everyone's strength.
This will make the country strong!
The emergence of this theory made many people in the academy doubt life, and Confucius rarely criticized this theory.
Luo Yan was even more upset. He didn't expect these people to develop the prototype of domineering so quickly. He sighed helplessly: "When the king's way is born, domineering will appear sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. The war in the world will begin." It’s going to get even more tragic.”
Then he turned around and began to send people to copy these Hegemonic theories, and at the same time began to modify the books that Luo Xiu had written back then, in order to find the shortcomings of Hegemony.
The disputes in the academy became more and more intense, even reaching the point of having fights outside the palace!
Another year passed, and I gradually lived in seclusion, accompanied by several maids of the Luo family. He wrote the last stroke on the cloth, read his article silently, and then smiled into the void and said: "Prince Su, My way has been accomplished!"
He closed his eyes and dropped his hands and died.
…
Driven by the officials of the Luo Kingdom, the Luo Kingdom Academy ushered in the first great explosion of ideas. The origins of Confucianism and Legalism were born here, and there were fierce debates in the academy.
After written law began to appear in the Jin Kingdom, scholars began to discuss the difference and importance of the rule of virtue and the rule of law, starting from the theory of good and evil, and began to discuss the transformation of the country's political system.
This transformation in the field of thought has drastically promoted changes after the explosion of productivity. ——"The Debate between Confucianism and Legalism·Prelude"
