1098 Ideal home
Great Confucianism is not stupid, but great Confucianism is difficult to achieve academic heights in their careers as they do in their academic careers. It is precisely because they created academic advantages that they moved to the careers intact and became their own shortcomings.
That is why they are struggling on their career path, with extremely difficult and bumpy paths, and they are completely unable to reach the height they expected.
Practice and theory are always two different things, but there is a close relationship between the two. Through practice, one true knowledge can be summarized, and what is obtained through theory is still the ideal supported by theory.
Doing knowledge can do whatever you want. The integrity and character of literati and scholars are fully displayed in the book, allowing them to express their views and ideas in the book. Anyone who goes against them can also rely on their academic achievements and heights to suppress different voices as pseudo-learning and side-by-side.
More importantly, the pedantic attitude of literati seeking truth and knowledge, or the tenacious and persistent attitude, can make them tirelessly imagine boldly in academics, or rely on their own understanding to give their opinions on people's hearts and human nature.
But obviously, whether it is integrity or persistence, it will become a sharp blade that is beneficial to oneself in the process of creating academics, but if you are in the career of officialdom, it will become a sharp sword that will only hurt oneself.
Everyone has their own principles and persistence, and everyone has a stubborn side. The great scholars brought their principles and persistence that are invincible in academics to the career of the government, insisting on the truth they think they think, and then fighting with those politicians who are sophisticated, so cunning, and using flexibility as their biggest weapon. The outcome was actually decided from the beginning.
There are very few true literati among the officials who can reach a height like Shi Miyuan, Liu Zheng and others, and even those who can achieve a state and county, with real power. The reason is nothing more than the four words ideal and reality.
Ideals are full, reality is skinny, ideals are found in books, reality comes from the secular world, and every official who can hold real power has the most basic spirit of being able to bend and stretch, not afraid of slapping the face, not afraid of being ugliness, and not afraid of being ugliness. And these are exactly what great scholars do not have.
Whether in books or in reality, for the so-called authority of experts, great scholars, etc., the only thing that is most afraid of is two words: doubt.
What authority is most afraid of is slapping in the face, and what is most afraid of is being questioned by others, which forms a ridiculous logic that you dare to question him, but this ridiculous logic can exist throughout the thousands of years of history of the Chinese nation, and even become more and more intense in later generations.
The Song Dynasty was even more a dynasty that paid attention to integrity and character. The character and integrity of literati, coupled with the court's strategy of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts, was actually not unfair to weaken the name of Song.
Whether it is fighting or governing the country, integrity and character are obviously not desirable. However, among the officials of the Song court, in the Northern Expedition, there were too many civil officials forcing the generals to hold high the banner of integrity and character to fight.
Being loyal and honest can make people famous in history, which is why some great scholars, even literati and scholars are willing to focus on the integrity and integrity.
Yue Fei's character and integrity made people remember Man Jianghong and Wen Tianxiang's poems of despair: Confucius said to be benevolence, Meng said to be righteous, only if the righteousness is complete, so benevolence is the most important. What do you learn when reading the books of sages? Now, you will be almost ashamed. This will make you famous in history.
But if you are really a qualified politician, if you judge the situation, your integrity and character will be immediately thrown away by him: You have no fate, why are you talking to me about loyalty and ideals?
The moral integrity is suitable for the fooling people. In a prosperous and stable dynasty era, moral integrity must exist. A group of people full of passionate blood is needed to create a prosperous era. A group of authority with integrity and integrity is needed to... lead the rhythm.
If they were as cunning and profound as politicians, sophisticated and smooth as worldly, and seeing everything clearly and clearly, when such a dynasty requires someone to make sacrifices, wouldn’t they all have to retreat? In the end, the emperor would find that he was pushed to the front position without realizing it.
"You have said good words and bad things. Isn't it the left and right words like Zhu Xi?" Zhong Qing said dizzy when she heard it.
Ye Qing didn't go back to Zhu Xi's letter for three days, but kept it on the table, making Zhong Qing a little confused about what Ye Qing meant, so
When she asked, Ye Qing made a long discussion about the so-called theory that even he himself was almost surrounded by.
"Zhu Xi is enough to do a good job in learning. Why should he participate in the affairs of the court? It's not that he has suffered from the intrigues and deceptions in the officialdom. But he is not stupid. Now he is already thinking about it. He knows that when the court is extremely weak, his style is obviously not popular. He knows that when the court gradually becomes stronger, the rulers will need his academic theory. Now it is defined as pseudo-learning, which is his own fault." Ye Qing sighed and said.
"But he wants to come to the North again, don't you agree?" Zhong Qing asked, pointing out Zhu Xi's letter.
"I'm weighing the trade-offs and judging the situation..." As soon as Ye Qing opened his mouth, he was blanched by the beauty Zhong, and then muttered two sinister words.
Seeing Ye Qing raising his hand and slapping her ass, the beauty Zhong hurriedly turned to the other side and asked, "What are you going to do next? Can't Zhu Xi be of any use?"
"I have no objection to accept Zhu Xi's continued learning in Qufu and the establishment of a sect, but what I need to weigh is... What will he think after knowing this matter? If I offend Zhu Xi for giving Zhu Xi a place, wouldn't I beneficiary of the loss? I am not afraid of offending Shi Miyuan, and I can even use Zhu Xi's request to turn around to deal with Shi Miyuan. But... I have to seriously weigh the attitude of the new king." Ye Qing sighed with embarrassment.
"Is this the difference between a literati and a powerful minister?" Zhong Damei's tone was still not good, and the meaning of mockery was more than that of asking.
Today, the beauty Zhong, since the succession of the new king Zhao Kuo and giving birth to Zhong Ye, was no longer the one who wrote a letter to Ye Qing. The lines were filled with "virtuous supporters" who supported Ye Qing's army to support his independence. Instead, she became more and more beautiful in appearance, and she looked like a woman who only liked to talk in her husband's ear.
"Wrong, this is the difference between a smart person and a fool." Lord Ye was proud, as if he had not heard the sarcastic sarcasm in his wife's tone at all, but then sighed and said, "Zhu Xi still wants me to help Zheng Qingzhi. Who is the fool if you say he is not a fool?"
Zhong Qing put away his thoughts of continuing to mock his husband. The husband and wife sighed, and then said, "After Zhu Xi was recalled to Lin'an as a lecturer, he never came back except when he had just arrived in Lin'an once. Zheng Qingzhi was originally a capable general under Shi Miyuan, but because he was unable to get the order of the Lin'an Prefecture Pacifier, he gradually moved away from Shi Miyuan..."
"After Zhu Xi became a lecturer, he was waiting for me to visit him on his own initiative, and let him be condescending to the nobles and wait for the Ye Mansion. So it can be seen that? Zhu Xi and Zheng Qingzhi are actually all the same people, and Zheng Qingzhi... can't help." Ye Qing sighed.
"Since that's the case, why are you still hesitating about Zhu Xi's request to come to Qufu?" Zhong Qing frowned. She still didn't understand. Although the two seemed to be inconsistent, with her understanding of Ye Qing, things were definitely not as simple as she thought.
She could feel that Ye Qing's thought of helping Zhu Xi was definitely not what Ye Qing said, but it was because he still needed to take care of the new king's feelings and attitude, so he was so hesitant.
"Ha, now it seems that I have become that smart beauty again." Ye Qing praised the beauty Zhong, but in the end he was still blanched by Zhong Qing, and then stared at the letter from Zhu Xi on the table and said slowly: "It's just the time."
"Time?" Zhong Qing asked in confusion.
"It takes time for the priest to digest his dissatisfaction with Zhu Xi in his heart. Neo-Confucianism is ultimately defined as a pseudo-school. If you agree to Zhu Xi to come to Qufu now, it will indeed make the new king unhappy, not to mention that it is at the critical moment when the northern part of the country is seeking the court, so you must take into account the attitude of the court and the emperor. Furthermore, helping Zhu Xi now is equivalent to helping Zheng Qingzhi. Once there is a turbulence in the north, Zhu Xi is connected with the northern part, and in the court... Do you think
Will no one act according to your husband's expression? So once Zhu Xi comes to the north, for some officials in the court, he will think that this is a signal that I, Ye Qing, want to protect their master and disciple. In this way, I will offend the priest and offend Shi Miyuan, and there will be no good news for me. So it is better to wait until Zheng Qingzhi is suppressed by Shi Miyuan and I will reply to this letter." Ye Qing patted the letter from Zhu Xi on the table with his iconic easy-going smile.
Zhong Qing was stunned when she heard it
After a long time, the word "sincere" was spitting out of her mouth again, and this time her buttocks did not escape Lord Ye's poisonous hand. With a snap, there was a hint of ambiguous sound and even the maid who had just brought in tea in could hear it clearly.
He blushed slightly and glared at the culprit in anger. When he saw the maid bowing his head and leaving quickly, Zhong Qing was sure that the maid must have heard it, and even saw it.
After the maid's back had disappeared without a trace and the couple was left in the study, Zhong Qing remembered that the purpose of entering the study was not to be ambiguously hit by Ye Qing, but because Yelu Yue gave birth to a daughter for Ye Qing.
Yelu Yue, who had been in confinement, looked lovingly at her daughter sleeping beside her, with sparse hair, faint eyebrows, small facial features and the quiet sleeping look. While a sense of happiness arose in her heart, she was also accompanied by a hint of melancholy.
How great would it be if the Great Liao Dynasty did not perish? The daughter she gave birth to might have a more precious future status. Although she was very satisfied with everything now, the demise of the Great Liao Kingdom was ultimately a scar in her heart that was difficult to completely heal.
The gentle breeze gently floated into the room from the window in front. As the curtain swayed, Bai Chun walked into Yelu Yue's bedroom with a joyful smile. He first walked to the window gently, looked at the little guy who was sleeping quietly, and then stretched out his fingers. Under Yelu Yue's gaze, he touched the little guy's little hand that was clenched into fists with joy before sitting down beside the bed.
He spoke softly at Yelu Yue, who was filled with happiness on his face, fearing that he would wake up the little guy, and said, "The two names Ye Chuxue and Ye Yue, let you, the mother, make the idea, say that after all, the flesh fell from you, and of course you have to listen to your biological mother."
Bai Chun said while handing Ye Qing's handwritten letter to Yelu Yue, and then continued to bend down, and continued to caress the little fist of the sleeping little guy with love.
Yelu Yue naturally knew that Ye Qing's love for her was Ye Qing, and she took his surname and her name, just like Zhong Qing's child named Zhong Ye.
But Yelu Yue liked the word "Flowing Snow" equally, which reminded her of the scenes when the Liao Dynasty was destroyed when she was escorted by many soldiers including Yelu Yixue, from the Liao Dynasty, braved the wind and snow that filled the entire world, and broke through the blocking lines of Mongolian cavalry and finally defected to Ye Qing.
"Just call Ye Chuxue." Yelu Yue put down the letter in her hand, looked at Ye Chuxue who was sleeping beside her, and then said to Bai Chun.
Bai Chun was slightly stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then will you reply to this letter or will I go back and forth?"
"If sister wants to, let me go back and forth to...husband." Yelu Yue said after a trace of unnaturalness flashed across Yelu Yue's face.
Bai Chun smiled and grabbed Yelu Yue's other hand, but didn't know how to speak to comfort Yelu Yue.
It is just the simple word "官网", but it obviously requires courage that ordinary people can't imagine when they say it. Similarly, these two words also mean that for Yelu Yue, she will give up too many things.
Of course, from the perspective of a woman, even if she doesn't consider the importance of the country and the country, just because of her children's love, Ye Qing is also sorry for Yelu Yue's word for husband. After all, this position...even if she has not even passed a ceremony, she became his real woman in a confused manner.
Ye Qing on the other side couldn't help but sneeze. After reading the letter from Chang'an, his guilt towards Yelu Yue became a little more aggravated.
"It's settled, it's called Ye Chuxue. The name Ye Yue has been rejected." Ye Qing said in response to Zhong Qing's gaze.
"Don't you take it back to Jinan?" Zhong Qing said in a complicated mood.
She didn't care that someone would share with her the living person Ye Qing, but she felt a little moved that this fragmented home is now, I don't know when it will allow everyone to be truly and quietly reunited in the same place, like a real home.
"Let's talk about it in a while, I won't care about it now." Ye Qing's tone was also a little helpless.
After all, Jinan is an ideal home. His eyes and mind have always been dominated by Yanjing, and his most ideal destination... is also Yanjing.
