"No!"
"If that's all, then why would Mr. Xu have a conflict with the scholars in the Public Service Department?”
"I don't believe that so many Confucian scholars are Dong Zhongshu's diehard supporters and can't tolerate others discussing the inadequacies of the theory of Heaven's Perception!”
It had to be said that Liu Che was indeed the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. After a short period of anger, he found the loophole in Dongfang Shuo's words.
Dong Zhongshu's theory of Heaven's Perception had gained the support of many Confucians.
But the mainstream of Confucianism was the orthodox Gongyang School of Thought.
It was the Gongyang School of Thought that shouted," The revenge of ten generations can still be avenged."
The mainstream ideas of the Han Dynasty were: the emperor had a title, the monarch and his subjects were harmonious with righteousness, the three systems were unified, the Yi and Xia were distinguished, the great revenge was carried out, Zhang Sanshi was harmonious with the power of the classics, and so on.
The title of the Son of Heaven: The Son of Heaven was only a type of title, not the embodiment of Heaven.
The relationship between the monarch and his subjects is not born and is not absolute. The monarch regards the minister as his own brother, and the minister regards the monarch as his confidant. The monarch regards the minister as a dog or a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman. If the monarch treats his subjects like dirt, the subjects will treat the monarch like enemies.
Through the three systems, that is, the royal power is not eternal, and history is evolutionary.
The debate between the Chinese and the barbarians: A simple cultural and moral nationality that does not distinguish between the Chinese and the foreigners based on their bloodlines.
[Great Revenge: To elevate the status of revenge, which was also the source of the saying," The revenge of ten generations can still be avenged."]
As for the final Zhang Sanshi and the theory of power, it divided the world into chaotic times, peaceful times (well-off times), and peaceful times (great times).
At the same time, it also explained why Confucian students could not be put in important positions during the Spring and Autumn Period.
In their words, Confucianism was the doctrine of peace and prosperity, belonging to the Way of King and the Way of Benevolence.
Morality was not important in troubled times, and one could only rule the world with tyranny.
That was why the Confucians could not be put in an important position during the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period.
After all, this was not a problem with their Confucianism, but a problem with the world.
This was the mainstream thinking of the Gongyang School of Thought.
Of course, perhaps even the founder of the Gongyang School didn't know that Dong Zhongshu would appear in their school.
Dong Zhongshu's theory of Heaven and Man's Perception was obviously the opposite of the Gongyang School of Thought.
Not only did he completely deify the Son of Heaven, but he also connected the Son of Heaven's actions with natural and man-made disasters.
He even dismissed the various schools of thought and only respected Confucianism. He proposed concepts such as 'respect for the monarch',' loyalty and filial piety 'and talked about the divine right to rule.
Such a theory was obviously contrary to the theories of the Gongyang School of Thought, such as "the Son of Heaven has one title","the monarch and his subjects are in harmony with righteousness", and "the three systems".
Therefore, there were not many people who truly supported Dong Zhongshu within the Confucianists. Most of them still believed in the traditional Gongyang theory.
Then, the problem came.
Since Dong Zhongshu's theory of Heaven and Man Telepathy was not the mainstream ideology of Confucianism, how could it be supported by so many Confucian scholars in the Public Service Bureau?
Even after Xu Yan said that the theory of Heaven's Perception was treasonous, these people still argued with Xu Yan. They were so angry that they wanted to kill Shao Zhengmao.
There was obviously a problem here.
Therefore, Liu Che concluded that Dongfang Shuo wasn't telling the truth.
Or rather, he was hiding something.
Hearing Liu Che's question.
Dongfang Shuo could not help but smile bitterly."Your Majesty, Dong Zhongshu's theory of Heaven's Perception was just a prelude. The real reason why Brother Shuren argued with the Confucian scholars in the Public Service Bureau was because of one sentence.”
"What words?" Liu Che was curious.
He was very curious as to what Xu Yan had said to make so many Confucian scholars turn against him.
Dongfang Shuo was silent.
He sorted out his thoughts and then said,"Because Brother Treeman accidentally said,"'Confucianism is nothing but a theory that fishes for fame. It seems to be a bunch of great principles, but in reality, it doesn't have anything of its own. It's all pieced together. It's fine to use it to enlighten children, but it's a joke to govern a country. Only a fool would use it to govern a country.'”
Dongfang Shuo said, not forgetting to secretly look up at Liu Che, whose face had darkened again.
This was because Xu Yan's words not only belittled the Confucian teachings and scholars, but also pointed at Liu Che's nose and called him a fool.
The reason was simple.
This was because many people in the Darkhan Dynasty knew that the Emperor, Liu Che, didn't like the studies of Elder Huang and favored the Confucian school.
That was why he had been promoting the Confucians after he took over the throne, hoping to replace the teachings of Elder Huang with the teachings of the Confucians.
Xu Yan's words implied that Liu Che was a fool!
This was also the reason why Dongfang Shuo avoided talking about it.
After all, these words were really not good.
Similarly, this was the real reason why Prime Minister Wei Wan had ordered the seal to be sealed and why the Confucian scholars in the Public Service Bureau had avoided talking about it.
Because they knew very well that once these words reached Liu Che's ears, it would be known by the future emperors.
Unless they were willing to admit that they were fools.
Otherwise, he would not have used Confucianism to govern the country.
This was completely cutting off their future prospects and destroying the foundation of their scholarly faction.
However, when the group of Confucians were arguing with Xu Yan, they were still being challenged by others. They were pressed to the ground and rubbed against each other again and again.
As such, it would be strange if the Confucian scholars in the Public Service Bureau didn't go crazy and fight Xu Yan to the death.
In the end…
Who would have thought that Xu Shu Ren not only had little knowledge, but his debate was unparalleled. Even his martial arts had reached a shocking level.
1v100.
Not only did he knock everyone to the ground, but he was also unharmed.
The Confucian scholars were furious and couldn't care less about shame, propriety, and honor.
He directly reported it to the authorities and used his background to chase Xu Yan out of the Public Transport Department.
Xu Yan's proposal had already been submitted to the palace.
Otherwise, they would definitely do everything they could to get Xu Yan's letter back.
Let the emperor Liu Che never know of Xu Yan's existence.
After understanding the cause and effect.
Liu Che was completely speechless.
He didn't even know if he should continue looking for Xu Yan.
Because he was afraid that he would be so angry that he would vomit blood when he saw the other party, and he would not be able to resist slashing him with a knife.
He only thought of Xu Yan's three strategies to strengthen the country.
Liu Che suppressed his inner conflict and asked Dongfang Shuo,""I wish to pay my respects to Mister Xu. Since you are a good friend of Mister Xu, do you know where he lives now?”
