Chapter 314: Chaos in Chang'an

When he heard that it was Changsun Chong and Fang Yiai, Chen Zhengtai was surprisingly calm.

He was not afraid of Changsun Chong and Fang Yiai being beaten at all.

He was even a little annoyed by Chen Fu's fuss.

After all, they are also a member of the Chen family, so why are they not at all calm!

But Chen Fu was still panting and said with a bitter face: "Just... just..."

"Just what?" Chen Zhengtai looked at Chen Fu.

Chen Fu smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that there is a stir in the school. I heard that some classmates were beaten, so they... they went to Chang'an Xueer Shop, and there were still many people..."

Chen Zhengtai finally frowned and then remained silent for a long time. He seemed to have not expected this situation.

But... this is obviously understandable.

The cause of the incident was that Changsun Chong and Fang Yiai took advantage of Mu Xiu and wanted to rush to Chang'an Bookstore to buy some books back.

This Xueer Bookstore is one of the largest bookstores in Chang'an. Books are ultimately luxury goods in this era!

It is precisely because of luxury that the person who runs a book shop is by no means a small character. It is said that the person behind this book shop is an extraordinary person.

And because there are many scholars coming to Beijing now, many people have begun to gather in the book shop. The books are expensive and most people don’t buy them, but they mostly read them. Over time, everyone gets together and becomes familiar with people!

The scholars are happy to meet in this bookstore, and there are also some people who love elegance and are happy to meet these scholars.

Of course, over time, some people will make a lot of comments in the bookstore. Once his remarks are sought after by others and become famous, some people will simply teach in the bookstore.

This Xueer Bookstore is said to be a book seller, but in fact it is a place for lectures. It can attract hundreds of scholars to listen to each day, and many children of aristocratic families support it!

Mr. Wu, who taught, came from the Wu family of Chenliu. Speaking of the Wu family of Chenliu, he is a prominent family and is one of the best among Chenliu. Mr. Wu is full of talent and knowledge, and is a master of classics. His articles and oral prose can often make readers fascinated.

In fact, since Emperor Wu of Han respected Confucianism, two important directions have emerged. One is the Gongyang theory headed by Dong Zhongshu. However, Gongyang studies have always been extremely enthusiastic about the fate of heaven and the induction of heaven and man, so later, they gradually began to become theological.

Originally, this destiny study was quite friendly to the rulers. After all, this solved the problem that my family was the emperor, and your family could only cultivate land and herd sheep, which would make people content with their duties!

But the response of heaven and man is not very friendly. You Confucian scholars say every now and then that the land collapsed today because the emperor did something wrong and needed to correct it. Tomorrow, he said that the heavy rain would cause disasters, and the emperor would be foolish and angry. The Han Dynasty has vast territory and disasters every year. You will use God's will to interfere in the government affairs every now and then. What's going on?

After that, with the collapse of the Han Dynasty, Gongyang Academy naturally disappeared.

However, another theory began to continue to penetrate the hearts of the people, namely the so-called "Classics".

The classics of course refer to the knowledge of annotating scriptures. The classics here are of course Confucian classics. The fundamental knowledge of this theory is that everyone takes out classics such as the Analects of Confucius and constantly interprets these Confucian classics.

For example, the first sentence of the Analects of Confucius: Confucius said to learn and practice it from time to time.

This is a very ordinary sentence.

But... he is Confucius, of course he can't be ordinary. This is just like Mr. Lu Xun's later generations, "You can see two trees outside the wall, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree." How could Mr. Lu Xun write such simple words like this, who shocked the past and the present?

So...you have to understand.

Of course, you are mentally retarded and you cannot understand it.

Then you have to ask a skilled expert to understand. After they understand, they will tell you why one is a jujube tree and the other is also a jujube tree. After expressing the clever thoughts and unique ideas of Mr. Wang's writing this article, he will teach it to you ordinary scholars.

It is even more impossible for Saint Confucius to be so simple.

Therefore, the essence of Confucian classics lies in annotating Confucian classics. When learning and practicing them from time to time, how should we understand and view them, what is the original intention of Confucius and why Confucius said such words.

Does Confucius have other purposes when he said this? Is this anger, or just a simple teaching, criticizing something, or has it a different meaning?

In short, this is explanatory.

And only great scholars have the ability to interpret scriptures.

After all, Confucius was a person who lived in the Spring and Autumn Period, and his doctrine was specifically directed at his era.

However, the times are constantly changing. Today, if we do not explain it, many people will definitely not be able to understand the original meaning of Confucius's teachings.

It is precisely because of this theory of classics that a group of aristocratic families began to be born. Because interpreting classics is something that only great scholars can do. Even if you read books, you are not qualified. Only those who have the right to interpret scriptures are truly great scholars!

Through these, great scholars taught their children from generation to generation. After their children were taught by their ancestors, they became officials from generation to generation. In the end, their families became more and more prosperous. By mastering knowledge and then mastering high-ranking officials to show their positions, they mastered the land and divisions. The inheritance of generations also promoted the inheritance of the Confucianism.

If you read almost all the aristocratic families carefully, you will find that there is one thing in common among their ancestors, that is, the great scholars often appeared among their ancestors. They used the classics to inherit their family business, and they passed on generations. This book is a simple study of Confucius and Mencius, or a simple Analects of Confucius. They interpret it closely and difficult to understand. Only the smartest people can barely feel that they can understand it.

As for ordinary scholars, even if you can read the Analects through, it is useless, because your understanding ability is too low and you cannot understand the unfathomableness of the Analects!

Your father and ancestors are not great scholars and cannot be inherited. It is not enough to understand the simple meaning of the Analects of Confucius. Only by having a deep understanding can it be considered true knowledge.

Mr. Wu is such a person. He was a great scholar of the times. The level of the Wu family's classics in Chenliu was originally praised. The inheritance of the Wu family's classics originated from Zheng Xuan in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Zheng Xuan was not an ordinary person, but the most famous scholar of the classics in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Even after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Zheng Xuan was included in the 22 predecessors and was granted the Confucius Temple.

Wu was a disciple of Zheng Xuan at the beginning. Since then, his children have been constantly learning this classics. It has been through dozens of generations. There are many great scholars in the family. They have been an official for many generations and are very famous in Guanzhong.

Mr. Wu is the direct descendant of Wu's family. He often goes to and from school to study shops. When scholars learned that this was Mr. Wu, they were all shocked. Mr. Wu himself often talked about the classics with scholars, and occasionally made some comments.

He believed that the current imperial examination has violated the original intention of the classics being passed down from generation to generation. People's understanding of Confucianism has become shallow due to utilitarianism. As long as those who are well aware of the Four Books and Five Classics can even obtain fame and fortune.

Such discussions actually fit the thoughts of many scholars.

Although these scholars also gained fame through the exam, most of them are children of aristocratic families. In fact, even if the imperial court does not have an imperial examination, they can still be officials. So why do they have to follow the path of imperial examination?

Not only that, Mr. Wu has a great hostility towards the University Hall. He directly believes that the University Hall will become the source of chaos in the world in the future, and believes that its interests have reached the level of mutual anger between man and god.

These arguments are actually highly praised by the children of the aristocratic race.

Children of aristocratic families have their own family background. As long as they learn family schooling, they can ensure that they do not lose their official position.

But now, they have come out of a university and become famous because of the imperial examination. Deep down in their hearts, they look down on the scholars in the university.

Therefore, more and more scholars came to Xueer Shop to listen to Mr. Wu’s lectures. At its peak, there were as many as a thousand!

Not only scholars and ordinary aristocratic children, but also some ministers often obey and mixed in the crowd, and they were fascinated by them.

In essence, Mr. Wu’s remarks actually said what they dare not say. His Majesty’s thoughts were already very obvious. The intention of using the imperial examination to attack the aristocratic races is also obvious!

Many people dare not speak out, and Mr. Wu pointed the finger at the university, which also implicitly coincided with the resentment accumulated by many people.

So on this day, the two unlucky guys Changsun Chong and Fang Yiai appeared in the book shop by chance. When they saw that there were crowds of people, they naturally came up with them. It doesn’t matter if they don’t listen, and they were immediately furious when they heard it.

The ancients may have thought a lot about other aspects, but they must not joke about the inheritance of teachers and learning!

You can insult me, but you cannot insult the university where I am, because my thoughts and knowledge are passed down here. If you deny it, wouldn’t it deny my life?

Changsun Chong immediately stood up to criticize, and then quarreled with countless scholars!

It is obvious that scholars in the Tang Dynasty were more heroic.

The meaning of heroic means that they like to do something wrong.

Then, countless angry scholars and children of the aristocratic clans, in anger, directly pressed these two poor guys to the ground and beat them up!

Changsun Chong was older and shouted: "Yiai, hold on, I'll call someone."

Although I was fisted a few times, my nose and face were swollen, I finally got it out.

Only Fang Yiai is young and cannot escape, so he is pressed to the ground and continues to be beaten.

On the other side, Changsun Chong ran back to the university hall with a angrily voice, and talked about the process of being beaten with tears in his eyes. Then the entire Erpigou University hall exploded instantly.

It's really outrageous!

As mentioned in the previous article, scholars in the Tang Dynasty were more heroic.

The characteristic of heroic mai is that it is easier to be excited, and if you are excited, you will be easy to act.

This Changsun and Fang Junior Eat and Sleeping with everyone on weekdays, and they are already like brothers. Now they are beaten up, and the weak Junior Eat Fang is still trapped there.

It just happened that today we had finished writing all the articles. Now that I heard about this, I was full of anger and there was nowhere to express my feelings. So, someone raised his arms and everyone responded one after another.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people rushed to the Xueer Bookstore with great momentum.

Changsun Chong was beaten to the point of bruising and swollen face, but he grinned and led the way forward.

In the past, he often fought, but he usually beat others.

But today... he felt different from the past. In the past, fighting was just to compete for competitiveness and play. But today, he felt that the fire in his heart was burning at this moment, and it was getting stronger and stronger!

So he kept adding excitement to the fire and talking about how these people insulted the university and humiliated everyone's teachers.

Now even Deng Jian, who had always known to study hard, was exploded. Deng Jian was an honest man, but when the honest man got angry, he was also angry, his eyes were covered with blood, and he wanted to hold a knife and kill someone.

In fact, something was noticed in the Yongzhou Prefecture Capital.

Fang Yiai was finally dragged out like a dead dog under the interference of a group of officers.

He had a bruised nose and swollen face, and there was no complete piece of skin on his body. He even had half of the teeth in his mouth. He was extremely embarrassed, but he still shouted vaguely: "Come on, come and hit me."

When the Yongzhou Muslim Mansion noticed Fang Yiai's identity, he was also shocked. However, the people in the Xueershuo shop were obviously not easy to mess with. Whoever took it out was at least a scholar. As for their origin, it was even more important to underestimate them.

In other words, any person who picks out among these people is enough to make the officers kneel down and cry for their parents.

They had to look around from afar and dare not continue to investigate. Of course, they also sent someone to report to the Changshi of Yongzhou immediately!

The Chief of Yongzhou also found it difficult, so he continued to report.

But when he was still reporting, Changsun Chong came with two or three hundred grand brothers.

He glared at his big eyes, pointed his hand, and said angrily: "It's this."

The restless juniors rushed up one by one, screaming.

The people in the Xueershuo Store beat people up and were still unsatisfied. When they saw that the people who were seeking revenge were coming, they also rushed forward with a scream, so they quickly formed a ball.

For a moment, the whole neighbors were fighting, either using fists or kicks, picking up long sticks, chasing each other, fighting each other, and the ground was covered with headscarves and scarves, and the clothes torn off fell all over the floor.

The shops along the street were closed one after another, and those who were onlookers quickly hid away, for fear of being affected.

This immediately attracted the attention of the guards, so soon the guards of the guards arrived with a team of troops.

I was about to get someone, but after I contacted the people from Yongzhou, I realized the whole story!

The next moment, the captain ran away with his men and horses, and naturally ran to report to the superior guard General Cheng Yaojin.
