Chapter 119: Indoctrination
Li Maozhen said this, but after receiving the strong support of the military strategists, the Fengxiang army first pacified the surrounding feudal states around Fengxiang, especially the battle against the Hezhong Jiedushi Wang Chongrong, which greatly improved the realm of many military strategists.
This time, he captured Chang'an and ordered the princes to divide the fortunes of the emperor. The military generals under Li Maozhen received the blessing of luck and their realm improved. Now there are four generals, more than ten generals, and countless ordinary generals.
Looking at the whole world, there are no generals in the army of princes. They can be compared with Li Maozhen, and the improvement of the military disciples has not stopped. In the next year and a half, even if the Fengxiang Army does not have a major war, there will be a famous general, and it is very likely that there will be more than one.
This is the foundation of military strategists and the source of confidence of Li Maozhen.
If Zhu Wen, the most powerful now, is cut off, then Li Maozhen is confident that he can gain an unmatched advantage in the process of competing with the Central Plains. Even Li Ye, who has now obtained the entire northern part of the Tang Dynasty, cannot be compared with him at this point. Then, Li Maozhen has great power to decide who the world falls.
Of course, the premise of all this is to completely extinct in the mortal world. To be precise, it is not that immortals want to disappear in the mortal world, but that monks in the Immortal Realm want to extinct in the mortal world.
Liu Zhijun originally wanted to say that even if the passage of heaven and earth was completely isolated and the immortals in the immortal court could not go down to the realm, Li Ye still had the support of the demon cultivators, which was not a force that mortals could compete with. But after hearing Li Maozhen's last words, he suddenly realized that what Li Maozhen was referring to was that the great monks in the demon cultivators could not walk in the mortal world.
"This...is a little difficult, right?" Liu Zhijun glanced at Li Maozhen and said tentatively, "Can you have a clue?"
Although he didn't know why Li Maozhen said this, he thought that the other party shouldn't be silly. If he had no idea what was the point of saying these words for nothing?
Li Maozhen did not answer Liu Zhijun's question, turned around and fell into deep thought. His eyes looked through the roof outside the door and towards the palace.
That place is the ultimate power of human beings and the place where the fortunes of the dynasty gather. The emperor ruled the four directions to kill evil spirits, relying on the people's desires and the emperor's sword in his hand.
The Emperor Zhuanxu was able to completely isolate the world and the world. Why can't the emperors completely isolate the immortals and mortals?
As the birthplace of immortals, is the power of the mortal world, must be inferior to that of the immortal court?
Huainan, Yangzhou.
As one of the four sages of Confucianism, Wang Zaifeng was invited by Gao Pian, the governor of Huainan. After arriving in Yangzhou, he opened a school in the city called Chuanwentang, which was used for the study of Confucian disciples.
There were more than tens of millions of Confucian disciples who followed Wang Zaifeng to Huainan, but naturally they could not live in an ordinary school. Fortunately, Wang Zaifeng had a foresight and asked his disciples to open Chuanwentang Branches in various prefectures in Huainan. This solved the problem of crowding disciples, and at the same time, the influence of Confucian disciples in Huainan is growing day by day.
In Huainan provinces and scenic spots, you can often see scholars appear in groups, either sitting and discussing the truth, writing articles, making friends through literature, and even discussing the general trend of the world, most of the scholars who speak excitedly and speak in a good manner after drinking. At the same time, many famous articles have been compiled into books and published in various places. Huainan was very popular for a while.
The dignitaries and nobles compete to be polite and hold various poetry and article gatherings one after another. If there are no Confucian scholars at the banquet, it is embarrassing. If any famous Confucian scholars can be invited, such as the talented man on the list of 72, the list of 72, is the capital worth showing off to his relatives and friends, and will attract a lot of envy and praise.
Not only that, even the ladies and jasses in the market are rushing to recite poems and articles by scholars. Anyone who can't memorize a few famous works that are popular at present will be laughed at. The young ladies of the right age regard the talented Confucians as their life spouses and are full of fantasies about the stories of talented men and beautiful women.
In this way, with the support of Gao Pian, Huainan has become a holy land in the minds of scholars all over the world. The gathering of literary fortunes is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, but no one can deny its real existence. In this chaotic world, the status of Huainan civil servants has risen invisibly and has the qualifications to compete with military generals.
In the afternoon, Gao Pian left the office and surrounded by a group of monks and monks, rode his horse across the street and headed towards the direction of Chuanwentang. He was not allowed to ride a horse for no reason in the city. Of course, Gao Pian set an example. The people on both sides recognized the support of the Huainan prince and retreated to both sides to bow and bow.
"Prince, I was waiting for the streets before. Although some people bowed to us when they saw us, there were not so many people. They were basically scholars, and ordinary people in the market would not pay attention to it. Now, more than half of the people stopped to bow to us and waited for us to pass first. Why is this?" Gao Pian's personal guard commander was a little confused and asked Gao Pian strangely.
Gao Pian smiled and said without saying a word, but a civil servant next to him said in a proud tone: "This is all the contribution of the Confucian Sect. Since the Confucian Sect arrived in Yangzhou and opened the Chuanwen Hall, there have been more Confucian disciples who are knowledgeable about books and rituals, and their words and deeds will naturally affect others. The so-called governing the country with etiquette and the people are all polite, which is the truth."
The commander of the personal guard seemed to be in the truth but not in the truth, but the civil servant was unwilling to say more. When he withdrew his gaze, there was a hint of contempt in his eyes and a sarcastic voice in his heart.
When I arrived at a crossroads, there were many people surrounding me, blocking the ordinary passage. After sending people to check, I came back to report: "It was Mr. Wang who was in front of me and was teaching a little beggar to study."
"Teaching beggars to study?" The chief guard laughed. "Mr. Wang is so idle. He would run to the street to teach a little beggar to study? That beggar can't even have enough food, what's the point of teaching!"
The civil servant who spoke before glanced at the guard commander with disgust and said unhappily: "The saint has no distinction, why can't beggars study?" He snorted coldly, "I want me to say that some vulgar people who don't study after eating enough food are really ridiculous!"
Gao Pian ignored what the two said. When he heard that Wang Zaifeng was in front, he immediately dismounted and walked over. The civil servant followed closely, with an expression of urgency and pride on his face. It was not until the civil servant walked away that the guard leader realized that the person who was talking about the other party just now was the one whom he was referring to.
Realizing this, the commander of the personal guard was angry and wanted to ask the other party to argue with him, but the other party had already followed Gao Pian into the crowd. He was so angry that he spitted on the ground angrily, "What can you say in a blunt way? It's really a villain!"
Gao Pian arrived in the crowd and saw Wang Zaifeng squatting on the ground, teaching a ragged and skinny little beggar who was chanting something, "You can't have both fish and bear's paws... and sacrifice yourself for justice..."
Gao Pian did not disturb him, and even stopped his subordinates from coming forward. He waited for a long time. Later, the little beggar was able to recite the saint's teachings in full. Wang Zaifeng explained the meaning to the other party with a kind face, allowing the little beggar to understand the essence of it. Finally, he asked a Confucian disciple to take out two steamed cakes and handed them to the little beggar.
The dirty little beggar grabbed the steamed cake and stuffed it into his mouth after a few seconds. Wang Zaifeng looked at him with kindness: "At this time tomorrow, I will come here. If you and your friends still want to eat steamed cakes, come and learn from me the words of the saint."
The little beggar was very excited when he heard this and kept nodding, but he had no time to answer anything because his mouth was filled with steamed cakes.
Wang Zaifeng stood up with satisfaction and saluted the onlookers. As expected, he won unanimous praise and admiration from everyone.
"Mr. Wang is worthy of being a great wise man in Confucianism. He even teaches a little beggar. Where can I find such a gentleman?"
"Mr. Wang has a noble status. In order to let the people bathe and educate, he even came to the streets and stayed there for half an hour. It was really rare!"
"This is a Confucian scholar, it's amazing!"
"I heard that Mr. Wang was invited by the Jiedushi. In order to let more people know the books and etiquette, the Jiedushi has made good intentions."
"That's right, the governor is also a good official!"
Hearing everyone's praise, Wang Zaifeng said nothing except smiling. Gao Pian's expression was exactly the same as him, and he seemed to be unwilling to the praise of the people. Then the people discovered Gao Pian and saluted him one after another. He did not put on airs and returned the gifts before leaving with Wang Zaifeng.
The story of Wang Zaifeng learning from the little beggar on the streets soon spread throughout Yangzhou City. Whether it is a high-ranking official or an ordinary citizen, when talking about this, he should praise Wang Zaifeng's reputation, the virtue of the Confucian school, and the wiseness of Gao Pian.
Not long after, Gao Pian won the hearts of a large number of people and gained prestige to the next level. The Confucian Party's status in Yangzhou became more stable and was widely praised by the people.
As the top is effective, many people even become polite. Even when the officers are doing the job, they no longer have the angry attitude of being angry. When everyone meets each other, they always have to give a polite polite sentence.
It seems that I am afraid that if I don’t do this, I will appear rude and ignorant. I am sorry for my identity as a Yangzhou and Huainan. I have insulted the painstaking efforts of Gao Pian and Confucians, and I am not worthy of walking on this land.
However, when they were scrambling to praise Wang Zaifeng and Gao Pian, no one noticed that the little beggar was still a little beggar, and there were many such beggars in Yangzhou City, old, small, sick and disabled. Their situation was not improved by this incident. They starved to death and still died of illness as before.
People seem to have forgotten to ask what made these people beggars, where their homes are, where their fields are, and why they have no livelihoods.
Those civil servants who were polite to salute when they met, and Confucian scholars who talked a lot in the attic and lake view seemed to have not noticed this at all.
In an elegant courtyard in Chuanwentang, Gao Pian and Wang Zaifeng sat opposite each other, and there was a young girl in plain clothes and light clothes cooking tea next to her.
"Since Mr. Da arrived in Yangzhou, the atmosphere in Huainan has changed. I am deeply pleased that Mr. Dashi is indeed worthy of his name." Gao Pian savored the tea and said with a smile.
The tea leaves in his mouth are worth one or two taels of food for ordinary people a year.
Wang Zaifeng slowly drank tea and smiled faintly: "Then should your highness believe in the ability of the Confucian school now? What he promised before was that in the county and county towns under his jurisdiction, at least the official promise of a Chuanwen Hall should be held. Can it be fulfilled now?"
Gao Pian laughed: "This is natural, I will order tomorrow. The Confucian Sect is in Huainan and will definitely be carried forward!"
