Chapter 527: enlightenment

Li Maozhen's words were not without reason. After receiving the full support of the military strategists, the Fengxiang Army went through repeated battles, first to pacify the feudal towns around Fengxiang, especially the battle against Wang Chongrong, the Jiedu Envoy in Hezhong, which greatly improved the realm of many military disciples.

This time, the capture of Chang'an and the emperor's orders to the princes divided the luck of many dynasties. The soldiers and generals under Li Maozhen's command received the blessing of luck, and their realm has improved. Now there are four generals and more than ten generals. , and there are countless ordinary warriors.

Looking at the whole world, there is no general in the army of the princes who can compare with Li Maozhen, and the level of military disciples has not stopped. In the next year and a half, even if there is no major battle in the Fengxiang Army, they will still be famous. will be born, and most likely more than one.

This is the background of the military strategist, and it is also the source of Li Maozhen's confidence.

If Zhu Wen, who is now the most powerful, is cut off, then Li Maozhen is confident that he is enough to gain an incomparable advantage among the princes in the process of competing in the Central Plains. Even Li Ye, who has now obtained the entire northern part of the Tang Dynasty, cannot compete with him on this point. He compares. So Li Maozhen is confident that who will win the world will have a lot of power to decide.

Of course, the premise of all this is to make immortals completely extinct in the mortal world. To be precise, it is not the immortals who are going to disappear in the mortal world, but the monks in the fairyland who are going to be extinct in the mortal world.

Liu Zhijun originally wanted to say that even if the passage between heaven and earth was completely cut off, so that the immortals in the fairy court could not go down to the realm, but Li Ye had the support of monks from the monster clan, that was not a force that mortals could contend with. But after hearing Li Maozhen's last words, he suddenly realized that what Li Maozhen was referring to was to prevent the great monks of the monster race from walking in the mortal world.

"This... I'm afraid it will be difficult?" Liu Zhijun glanced at Li Maozhen and said tentatively, "Could it be that Your Highness already has a clue?"

Although he didn't know why Li Maozhen said these words, but he thought that the other party would not talk nonsense, if he didn't have any clue, what's the point of saying these words for nothing

Li Maozhen didn't answer Liu Zhijun's question, but turned his head and fell into deep thought again. His eyes looked towards the direction of the palace through the roof outside the door.

That place is the ultimate place of power in the world, where the fate of the dynasty gathers. The emperor controls the four directions and kills evil spirits, relying on the hope of the people and the emperor's sword in his hand.

The human emperor Zhuanxu can cut off the heaven and the earth, why can't the current emperor completely cut off the immortals

As the birthplace of immortals, the mortal world must not be as powerful as the immortal court

Huainan, Yangzhou.

As one of the four sages of Confucianism, Wang Zaifeng was invited by Huainan Jiedu envoy Gao Pian. After arriving in Yangzhou, he opened a school in the city, called Chuanwentang, for Confucian disciples to study.

There were more than ten million Confucian disciples who followed Wang Zaifeng to Huainan, and an ordinary school house naturally couldn’t fit in them. Fortunately, Wang Zaifeng had the foresight to send his disciples to various prefectures in Huainan to open Chuanwentang branches, which solved the problem of gathering disciples. At the same time, the influence of the Confucianism sect in Huainan is growing day by day.

In various places of interest in Huainan prefectures, you can often see scholars appearing in groups, either sitting and discussing the Tao, or writing articles, meeting friends through literature, and discussing the general trend of the world. The articles were compiled into volumes and published in various places, and Huainan was very popular for a while.

The dignitaries competed to be arty, holding various poetry and article gatherings one after another. It would be a shame if there were no Confucian scholars at the banquet, but anyone who could invite famous Confucian scholars, such as The presence of talented people who are on the list of seventy-two handsome men is a capital worth showing off to relatives and friends, and will attract a lot of envy and praise.

Not only that, even the young ladies and young ladies in the market are scrambling to recite the poems and articles of the scholars. Anyone who can't recite a few famous poems that are popular at the moment will be laughed at. They even regard Confucian talents as spouses in life, and are full of fantasies about the stories of gifted scholars and beautiful women.

In this way, with the support of Gao Pian, in just a few months, Huainan has become a holy place in the minds of scholars all over the world. The convergence of cultural movements is difficult to discern with the naked eye, but no one can deny its real existence. In this chaotic world, the status of civil servants in Huainan has risen imperceptibly, and they have the qualifications to be comparable to military generals.

In the afternoon, Gao Pian left the official office, surrounded by a group of monks, rode his horse across the street, and headed towards Chuanwentang. Horses were not allowed in the city for no reason, Gao Pian of course set an example, the people on the left and right recognized the support of the king of Huainan County, and all retreated to both sides and bowed in salute.

"Your Majesty, when I went to the street before, the common people saluted us when they saw us, but there were not so many of them, and most of them were scholars, and ordinary people in the market would not pay attention to it. Now that we are walking this way, more than half of the common people have stopped Salute, wait for us to pass first, why is this?" Gao Pian's personal guard commander was a little puzzled, and asked Gao Pian strangely.

Gao Pian smiled and said nothing, but a civil official next to him said in a proud tone: "This is all the credit of the Confucianism. Since the Confucianism came to Yangzhou and opened the Chuanwentang, there are many Confucian disciples who know books and rituals. Now, words and deeds will naturally affect others. The so-called governing the country with propriety means that all the people should be respectful, that’s the truth.”

The commander of the personal guard seemed to be enlightened, but he still seemed a little confused, but the civil servant was unwilling to say more. When he looked away, there was a hint of contempt in his eyes, and he sneered at a rude person in his heart.

When they came to a cross street, many people surrounded the front, blocking the general passage, and the commander of the personal guards sent someone to check, and came back to report: "Mr. Wang is in front, and he is teaching a little beggar to read. "

"Teach a beggar how to read?" The commander of the guards laughed loudly. "Mr. Wang is so free that he would come to the street to teach a little beggar? The beggar can't even eat enough, so what is there to teach him!"

The civil servant who spoke before glanced at the commander of the guards with disgust, and said displeasedly: "The sage can teach without distinction, why can't beggars study?" He snorted coldly, "If you want me to say, some people are full. A vulgar person who doesn't even study is really ridiculous!"

Gao Pian ignored what the two said, and when he heard that Wang Zaifeng was in front, he immediately dismounted and walked over, followed by the civil servant, with eagerness and pride on his face. It wasn't until the civil servant walked away that the commander of the personal guard realized that he was referring to the person the other party said just now.

Realizing this, the commander of the personal guard became furious and wanted to argue with the other party, but the other party had already followed Gao Pian into the crowd. He was so angry that he spit on the ground angrily, "What can't be said bluntly, insinuating Yes, what a villain!"

Gao Pian came to the crowd, and he saw Wang Zaifeng squatting on the ground, teaching a ragged, skinny little beggar to recite "you can't have both...you can sacrifice your life for righteousness" ... "

Gao Pian didn't make a sound to bother, and even stopped his subordinates from coming forward. He waited for a long time, and then the little beggar was able to recite the sage's teaching completely, and Wang Zaifeng explained the meaning to the other party with a kind face, so that the little beggar understood it In the end, he asked a Confucian disciple to take out two steamed cakes and hand them to the little beggar.

The dirty little beggar grabbed the steamed pancakes and stuffed them into his mouth. Wang Zaifeng looked at him kindly: "At this time tomorrow, the old man will come back. When the time comes, you and your friends, what if If you still want to eat steamed cakes, come here and learn the words of the sage from this old man."

The little beggar was very excited when he heard this, and kept nodding, but he didn't have time to answer, because his mouth was already filled with steamed cakes.

Satisfied, Wang Zaifeng stood up and saluted the surrounding people. Not surprisingly, he won unanimous praise and admiration from everyone.

"Mr. Wang is worthy of being a great sage of Confucianism. He even teaches little beggars. Where can I find such a gentleman?"

"Mr. Wang has a noble status. In order to let the people bathe and educate, he did not hesitate to come to the street and stay for half an hour. It is really rare!"

"This is the Confucian scholar, it's amazing!"

"I heard that Mr. Wang was invited by the Jiedu Envoy. The Jiedu Envoy has worked hard to let more people know about books and rituals."

"That's right, Jiedushi is also a good official!"

Hearing everyone's praise, Wang Zaifeng didn't say anything except smiling all the time. Gao Pian's expression was exactly the same as his, it seemed that he didn't care about the people's praise. Afterwards, the common people found Gao Pian and saluted him one after another. He didn't put on airs, and returned the salute in a circle before leaving with Wang Zaifeng.

The story of Wang Zaifeng passing on education to a little beggar on the street soon spread throughout Yangzhou City. No matter if they were high-ranking officials or ordinary people, when talking about this matter, they all praised Wang Zaifeng's virtuous name, Confucianism's virtuousness, and high morality. Parallel talents.

It didn't take long for Gao Pian to gain a large number of people's hearts, and his prestige rose to a higher level. The Confucian School's position in Yangzhou became more stable, and it was generally praised by the people.

As a result, many people have become more polite because of this. Even when the servants are on errands, they no longer have the usual angry and lingering posture. sentence.

It seems that he is afraid that if he does not do this, he will appear rude and ignorant. I am sorry that I am from Yangzhou and Huainan, and I have humiliated the painstaking efforts of Gao Pian and Confucianism, as if I am not worthy of walking on this land.

However, when they scrambled to praise Wang Zaifeng and Gao Pian, no one noticed that the little beggar was still a little beggar, and there were many beggars like that in Yangzhou City, old, young, sick, and disabled. The situation has not improved because of this incident, and there are still as many people who died of starvation and disease as before.

People seem to forget to ask what makes these people beggars, where are their homes, where are their fields, why do they lose their livelihoods.

The civil servants who saluted everyone, and the Confucian scholars who talked loudly in the lake view of the attic, didn't seem to notice this at all.

In an elegant courtyard of Chuanwentang, Gao Pian and Wang Zaifeng sat facing each other, and beside them was a young lady in plain clothes and light shirts making tea.

"Since Mr. Da arrived in Yangzhou, the atmosphere in Huainan city has changed. This king is very pleased. Mr. Daxian's name is indeed worthy of his name." Gao Pian said with a smile after sipping a sip of tea.

One tael of tea in his mouth is worth a year's food for an ordinary family.

Wang Zaifeng sipped his tea slowly, and said with a faint smile: "Then His Highness should believe in the ability of the Confucian sect now? The promise made before, that at least one Chuanwen hall should be established in the counties and counties under the jurisdiction, can it be fulfilled now?"

Gao Pian laughed: "Naturally, the king will give an order tomorrow. Confucianism is in Huainan, and it will definitely flourish!"

"Then thank you, Your Highness."
