One thousand one hundred and sixty, Master Kong is really pitiful
The scholars were desperate.
The result did not change, and their month of protests and efforts did not work.
The emperor played secret operations in front of them and announced on the spot that these five great laws would be used as saints and made them official doctrines.
Then the emperor also announced that he would re-establish the Five Classics Doctors and abolish the other nine family laws, and would never be established again.
From then on, the Five Sutras were fixed to these Five Sutras.
If all students want to become officials by taking the path of observation, they must learn these five classics. They cannot be changed. They can also learn other family laws, but other family laws will lose their official status and will not be recognized by the government.
It doesn't make sense for you to learn, because you can't rely on these family rules to be an official.
They can exist as oppositional family law, but it is hard to say whether anyone is willing to learn it.
This is not what Mr. Guo is concerned about.
The Xun, Kong, Huan, Jia and Yuan were overjoyed, and the relevant people bowed to express their sincere gratitude and respect to His Majesty the Emperor.
The representatives of the other opposition parties were as if they had lost their parents.
After a suffocating silence, a white-bearded old man from the Fufeng Ma family stood up tremblingly, walked to Guo Peng, and stood and looked at Guo Peng.
He is old and according to the tradition of respecting the elderly and loving the young, he does not have to kneel down when facing the emperor.
But he was somewhat rude to look at the emperor so directly, so Su Yuan quickly reminded him not to be so rude to him.
"Ma Gong, this is in front of the palace, so you should not be rude."
"How dare you be so arrogant!"
The old man from Ma family scolded Su Yuan and was confused.
"Su Yuan, retreat."
Guo Peng made Su Yuan retreat with expressionless expression, and he looked at the old man of the Ma family with indifferent eyes.
The old man from the Ma family continued to look directly at Guo Peng without any fear.
"Your Majesty, do you dare to ask if your Majesty thinks that the hard debate I have been waiting for this month is futile? Is the gains from our serious debate word by word, in the eyes of Your Majesty? Is the words and sentences of our ancestors passed down for hundreds of years? What exactly is the saint's speech in His Majesty's eyes?"
Guo Peng took a deep breath.
"Ma Gong, why is your debate meaningless? Haven't you all recorded it?"
“That’s all?”
The old man from Ma's face was full of disbelief.
"Of course not."
Guo Peng shook his head: "It's just Ma Gong, you should know that everything Gu did is to justify the saints. You all know that the Five Classics originally only have the Five Classics. There are so many Dharmas in the process of inheritance, so there must be pseudo-learning.
The Five Classics are just Five Classics, so there shouldn’t be any fourteen schools of law. If there are fourteen schools of law, it’s better to just talk about the fourteen schools of law, why should I talk about the Five Classics? Obviously, the nine schools of law are false learning, and only five schools of law are true learning. What I do is to find the true learning and dismiss the false learning."
The Ma elderly breathed very rapidly.
"Your Majesty, I dare not agree with what your Majesty said! If there is a false learning, why did the emperors of the previous generation recognize it? Is it not because the emperors of the previous generation think this is a true learning?"
"That is because the emperors of the previous generations were not brave enough and did not dare to be responsible to future generations."
Guo Peng criticized the Emperor Li Dai of the previous Han Dynasty without hesitation: "They were worried about their reputation and did not want to be criticized, so they adapted to the selfish wishes of some people and changed the pseudo-learning more and more, and to the current chaotic situation!
During the reign of Emperor Wu, there were only five classics. Emperor Xuan had twelve laws. When Emperor Guangwu, there were fourteen laws. When Emperor Zhang, there were almost fifteen laws. When Emperor Xuan and Emperor Guangwu were wrong, or Emperor Wu and Gu were wrong?"
The old man from Ma opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The rest of the people are waiting for you to see me, and I look at you, but I don’t know how to answer the emperor’s question.
"I don't know how to answer? Then I will help you."
Guo Peng sneered for a while and said, "Everyone is right. What is wrong is the hearts of people, the lack of people's hearts, and the greed. The Five Classics have more and more family rules. Five schools are not enough, nine schools are not enough, nine schools are not enough, twelve schools are not enough, twelve schools are not enough, fourteen schools are not enough, so how much is it?
You guys, are you arguing for the saints? No, you are arguing for your own official positions and for the poster’s official positions. What you care about is not true learning and false learning, but whether future generations can become high-ranking officials and gain great power by controlling family laws. Is it right? Hum?"
Guo Peng stood up and walked down the steps, walked past the old man of the Ma family, walked to the front of the [scholars] standing in front of them, staring at them one by one.
They lowered their heads one by one, without saying anything, and did not know whether they were ashamed or timid or dared not look directly at the emperor.
Guo Peng continued to say.
"For the future of the family, for the disciples and former officials all over the world, for the sake of their own family, and for the sake of their own family, they have been arguing with the royal family for a month! From outside Luoyang City to Luoyang City, how many disciples and former officials are mobilized to express their conspiracy to Gu? Ah?
Do you really care what Confucius said? Do you really care what Confucius said exactly? Do you really care about what the hell is saying? Do you really care about the subtle meaning? No, you don’t care. You just want to make this theory mysterious, and it is best that only your own direct teachings can master it.
The fewer people master it, the more beneficial it will be for you, and it will be more convenient for you to explain it freely, and it will be more convenient for you to profit from it. If you don’t learn, you will not be an official. If you want to be an official, you must be a disciple, be a cow and a horse for you for your whole life, and be filial to you. This is what you hope, right?"
Guo Peng circled the scholars' queues for a long time, spitting out fragrant tongues and fighting lotus flowers, and lowered his head and said nothing.
Then, Guo Peng walked back to the old man in Ma and stared at the old man in Ma.
"Ma Gong, are you worried that the saint's speeches are distorted? Or are you worried that the Ma family members of Fufeng will not be able to become officials, will not be able to successfully grasp power, and will have the status of their family members in the future?"
The powerful pressure made the old man Ma look pale, his lips trembled slightly, and he couldn't say a word.
"Can't you tell me? Gu knows your answer, you don't need to say it."
Guo Peng sneered: "Mr. Confucius is so pitiful. You people claim to be his disciples and followers. In the end, you don't even care what he said or what he had. You just want to use his name to make profits for yourself. This is the truth.
Gu understands what is important about what the saint said? Family status, power, incense, wealth, these are the most important. As long as these are these, what is the meaning of what the saint said? Can it be changed?
You want to be an official, you want your son to be an official, and your grandson to be an official, and your grandsons should be an official, and if you cannot do this, you are sorry for your ancestors and your elders to cultivate.”
Guo Peng no longer stared at the old man of the Ma family. He walked back to the platform, stood on the platform, overlooking the elite scholars below.
"Emperor Wu is gone, Emperor Xuan is gone, Emperor Guangwu is gone, Emperor Zhang is gone, even the Han Kingdom is gone, people are gone, and the emperor is gone, so what should be changed should be changed back.
In the past, what emperors dared not do, the infamous they dare not bear, and the infamous ones come to bear! The infamous ones are not afraid of infamous ones, and you can curse ones no matter how you scold the orphan. Whether you say that the orphan is cruel or that the orphan is burning books and burying scholars.
But this matter has no discussion, and it is back to nature. The Five Classics are the Five Classics. As for which Five Classics are, it is naturally the only one who has the final say. Of course, you still have any opinions, even if you say, you are listening, and say whatever you want."
Guo Peng sat down again, clapped his hands, and asked Su Yuan to hand him a cup of tea.
Then, a group of black-armored soldiers appeared outside the hall gate. The leading general Dian Wei looked like a bear and tiger, with a fierce aura.
