Liu Xiang's appearance was very shocking to people from hundreds of families in the city.
It would be okay if he was alone. He was well versed in Confucianism and Legalism, and was familiar with Taoism and Mohism. He had friends with scholars from various sects.
But he came with most of the Qin and Jin Legalists, which none of them had expected.
How dare you?
This level of explosion is no less than a mustache delivering a struggle speech while standing in the Kremlin Palace.
Although Luo Shi has always been tolerant in his thoughts and never sinned with words as long as he did not commit substantive actions, there are countless scholars from other families and countless people in this city.
One person can drown those few people in the Legal family with just a drop of spit!
Prejudices in people's hearts are like a big mountain. With the great achievements of Qin and Jin Legalists, it is even more difficult to get hundreds of schools to put away their prejudices than to reach the sky.
Liu Xiang had long known that this scene would happen, but he didn't care. Instead, he smiled at the people who followed him and said: "This is the reputation of Legalism in the world now. If we carry such heavy shackles, , how to talk about making achievements?
If we cannot break away from the wrong past, how can we win a bright future? "
The legalists of the Qin and Jin Dynasties were verbally attacked, but they only responded: "The classics we govern are not magic spells, but criminal laws. You may have come to the wrong person."
This is equivalent to a Mencius saying that the classic he governs is not Mencius, but the theory of justice and morality. Liu Xiang went even further and directly discarded all the thoughts on governing the people and governing the country in the Legalist classics, leaving only the law aspect of law.
The Law of Criminal Names is the weapon used by Legalists to conquer the world, and it is the way to manage the world. The vast grassroots counties and counties of the Han Dynasty relied on these laws to govern the country. If they are not proficient in it, they are not enough to be called Legalists. Liu Xiang reformed the law Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to throw away this advantage.
Liu Xiang's purpose is very simple. Just come and discuss the law. If you accuse the wrong person of atrocities, he suggests turning right out of Zhaocheng and walking thousands of miles to Guanzhong to find the previous Qin kings and the violent emperor Liu Dan. We people have not done this. Go through what you said.
Which Confucian and Taoist disciple has a problem in his brain to discuss laws with a Legalist student?
In the past, famous people could touch it, but after a hundred years, the big man no longer knew where the bones were buried.
Qi Fa can give it a try, but it is possible but not necessary. It is also good to let the Qin and Jin Legalists kill other sects with their vigor, just in case they can stand up and become the master.
Liu Xiang has worked hard for many years and developed a good face.
No matter what opinions the Confucian disciples expressed, he always said with a smile: "Classics, worthy of being a Confucian disciple."
There was no response, and it seemed that everything had been said. Usually people who don't have enough energy to nourish their Qi would be anxious at this time, and then Liu Xiang would make up for it, "What are you anxious about? It doesn't matter how loud your voice is, just speak slowly."
If there were other factions he knew well enough to join in the crusade, he would retort, "So filial."
Ji Zhaoxian, who had been paying attention to the debate among hundreds of schools of thought, shook his head speechlessly. Ji Lingjun gritted his white and fine teeth and said, "I really deserve a beating."
After all, Guanyi is not a formal forum for discussing Taoism. The Qin and Jin Legalists' avoidance of fighting has no impact. Therefore, Liu Xiang's strategy is very successful. Everyone can only say fiercely, "On the day when the Xuegong Taoist Hall is opened, let's see how you do. Avoid fighting.”
The academy is about to open!
As more and more scholars from all walks of life arrive, everyone knows that the academy is about to open. After a hundred years of development, it will soon be known who is the best in the world, who can defeat other schools and be ranked first.
Although Zhaocheng is wide open, it still has many restrictions compared to other freely accessible cities. Not to mention extremely strict security, the inner city is also not open to the public.
However, there was originally nothing in the inner city except the ancestral temple, the storage room, etc. In theory, the Luo family should live in the inner city, but in fact they all lived in the outer city. On the contrary, the Luo family women often lived in the inner city for sacrifices.
Even in the outer city, daredevils can be seen riding horses in the streets and alleys. Most of the people who came to Zhaocheng this time were scholars. The scholars were talented, and those who came were all people who could tell lies with their eyes open, and Scholars are bad. The people in Zhaocheng are simple and the women are gentle and virtuous. It is not good to be deceived by outsiders' rhetoric.
After the students from various schools arrived in Zhaocheng, they first went to the Zhuzi Temple to worship. Many of the people who came to worship had been here before. Although Zhaocheng was strict in the past, it did not allow people to come.
But this was naturally the first time for such a large-scale event. Luo Shizi brought brave warriors to maintain order and lead the way.
Although it has not seen many people in a hundred years, the Luo family has been repairing it. Except for the traces of time left deliberately to show its heritage, the temple has always been grand and classy.
The Luo family has a long heritage, and once the scale of time is extended, it will give people an incomparable shock. This is the natural awe of the power of time as a short-lived species. This is a major advantage of the Luo family, so it is demonstrated all the time.
After entering the Temple of the Masters, everyone was shocked when they looked at the delicate statues and countless magnificent story murals.
A true saint may not need a tall statue, but never ignore that human nature is engraved with a yearning for heights and bigness.
The Luo family has spent thousands of years promoting Ji Zhao and is very clear about this. Therefore, when building the Temple of the Masters, it must shock people's hearts. In the hundreds of years of additional construction, I don't know how many magicians participated. Among them, Luo Shi even has strong architectural knowledge.
The effect achieved was so good that many scholars even lost their voices.
"This is the Temple of the Masters!"
"Teacher, my disciple can actually enter here in my lifetime. Your wish is granted."
"The Patriarch turned out to be like this. He really has the appearance of a sage and is extraordinary."
Countless voices rang in their hearts. It was extremely quiet in the palace, but everyone could feel waves of complicated sounds reaching their ears.
Luo Shizi, who was responsible for leading everyone here, was very satisfied. He had accumulated a hundred years of longing. If the Zhuzi Temple could not satisfy everyone, it would have the opposite effect, but now the Zhuzi Temple perfectly meets everyone's imagination!
The huge temple is naturally not just one room. In addition to the main hall where all the sages gather, there are also branch halls of various families. The main hall is limited by its size and cannot be used, but there is no such restriction in the branch halls.
The Confucian palace is decorated with exquisite murals, the first of which is the picture of the Spring and Autumn Period by the two saints Luo and Kong, and then the picture of Confucius traveling around the world to give lectures, the picture of Confucius becoming a saint in the academy, the picture of Mencius' eloquence, etc. The exquisite skills of the painters are reflected in these characters and events. The image is vividly expressed.
The Confucian scholars who came to pay homage looked at these murals and seemed to have traveled back to the era hundreds of years ago. Each sage wrote furiously in an attempt to put an end to that chaotic world, record the principles of heaven and earth, and pass them on to future generations.
There are a large number of Confucian disciples, but there are relatively few people in many palaces, and even the Yang Zhu School is empty.
"Hundreds of years ago, my ancestors of the Luo family once said that high stone tablets should be erected in the Luo Kingdom to record the classics of the various scholars, temples should be built, and the statues of the various scholars should be cast with metal and jade, so that the glory of the saints and sages of the various disciples could last forever. Glorify the world and shine for thousands of years!”
Luo Shizi came forward, looked at these portraits and murals, and said with some emotion: "Now I have kept my promise. No matter whether the outside world wins or loses, at least there is still inheritance in Zhaocheng, and there are still people who remember their names and deeds. .”
There are only a few people on one side, and a sea of people on the other. This huge contrast and strong contrast make those who come to pay homage to the sages feel a sense of enlightenment and urgency in their hearts.
Passing through the Temple of the Masters, a large school palace appeared in front of everyone. This was naturally not the earliest school palace, but the mottled and mixed traces on it made people know that the school palace in the past was Here, there are the oldest stone bricks in the walls.
"Boom!"
Several brave warriors stepped forward and pushed open the heavy doors of the academy. When the academy was not open, this place was not abandoned. The talented children of the Zhao Kingdom were educated here. It was a private academy of the Zhao Kingdom.
Hundreds of families walked into it with some excitement. Almost every family had a school palace in their books. Now looking at the school palace in front of them, there is a feeling that fantasy is reflected in reality.
"This is the morning bell!"
The big clock in front of the main hall of the Academy attracted everyone's attention.
Morning bells and evening drums!
"King Su established rituals and music, and rituals and music permeated every aspect of Luo's life. When the bell rang in the morning, the sages entered the palace, and when the drum sounded in the evening, the sages left the palace.
So people in the world use morning bells and evening drums as a warning. "
Someone told the origin of the morning bell and evening drum, and someone added with emotion: "It is said that in the past, the debate in Luo Academy started with the sound of bells and ended with the sound of drums. Everything was in accordance with the order of etiquette and music. It was really a beautiful era."
The past is not the present, and this is true both in the past and the present. For the Han people, the sages of the Zhou Dynasty are ancients, and many people miss that era.
When everyone walked into the academy, they saw a figure kneeling at the highest point in the palace. The brave warriors stepped forward and bowed: "See the master of the family."
The head of the family?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all bowed and bowed. Voices rang out one after another, "Greetings to the Grand Duke. May the Grand Duke be well."
Luo Sheng looked at the dark crowd in front of him and said loudly: "Everyone is well, everyone is well. Please take a seat."
Groups of beautiful girls led everyone into the seats.
————
Xia civilization is a typical ancestor worship. This culture naturally attaches great importance to funerals, and even reached the point of "treating the dead as if they were alive" in some periods. Xia people believe that a kind of thing called After the "incense" sacrificial vessel is lit, it can communicate with ancestors, so this kind of psychic vessel is widely used.
The Xia people even called their successors "extended incense lighting time." This is true whether it is the inheritance of a family or a school of thought. The Xia people have a sense of mission for this, so the academic struggles of the Xia people are always abnormal. Bloody and confrontational, even reaching the level of religious wars. ——"Global History·Ancient Chinese Civilization"
