Chapter 873: Coincidence? Or conspiracy?
The great Confucian scholars really went to great lengths to produce evidence that Confucianism was the leader. Even Chen Xi had to sigh that Confucianism did not survive in vain during the years when the Hundred Schools of Thought were in decline. Its foundation was really too solid.
Especially with the motivation of competition, the results that emerge can directly suppress all other schools of thought.
One of the most important achievements was the construction of a hierarchical system. Different from the caste system in India, the hierarchical system created by these great scholars had only one core, which was education.
It may seem like nothing, but unknowingly, the interests of these people will be tied together with the Han Dynasty, and then they will be completely integrated into this collective and become a member of this collective. Even though they are of different species, they are completely unified in their thoughts.
Moreover, Confucianism has very well integrated this spirit into the education system. One should know that the most important power held by Confucianism is education, which directly equates Confucian scholars with intellectuals.
This is also one of the reasons why Confucianism was so wary of the rise of the Hundred Schools of Thought, and also the reason why they resisted the Hundred Schools of Thought. In the past, they were the only one in power, and the only books they read were Confucian classics.
It is a good thing for them that they don’t know about the development of doctors, after all, they can use medicine.
However, that is a challenge to the orthodoxy. Medical practitioners can completely ignore Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics when studying the classic medical books of their ancestors. This is a challenge to the foundation of Confucianism, and this is what Confucianists cannot accept the most.
The current goal of Confucianism is to completely annex all the schools of thought, concentrate all the power in one, and make the various schools of thought subordinate branches of Confucianism rather than having an equal status.
Just like historians, although they are still a school of thought, they have completely become a branch of Confucianism.
In fact, modern education is a bit like this. No matter what you study, you are still a scholar in the final analysis and consider yourself a student .
But the difference is that at this time it is no longer Confucianism, but has become the whole of Chinese culture.
There are many other similar achievements, such as compiling and writing books, and there are endless basic literacy reading materials such as Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classic.
Confucianism, holding on to one of the core ideas left by Confucius - education for all, began to develop rapidly, intending to seize the educational high ground before other schools of thought emerged.
If a child is exposed to Confucianism from a young age, then no matter what knowledge he learns when he grows up, his foundation will be Confucianism. This is also the Confucian strategy of cutting off the source of the problem.
What's even better is that their action plan perfectly fits in with the popularization of education that Chen Xi and Guo Hao want to promote. Before, Chen Xi had always led them and forced them to do it, which was not only inefficient, but they often failed to catch anyone.
In the most difficult times, Chen Xi and his colleagues were even reluctant to kill those scholars, as killing one less would be the best.
Now they are really working on it with 100% enthusiasm.
What a crappy family! It is nothing compared to the orthodox status of Confucianism. After being kicked out of Confucianism, the Xun family returned to Confucianism once again. Let’s put the different philosophies aside for now.
No matter how different the ideas are, can they still be different from the Mohists?
Confucianism simply abandons any slight ideological conflicts and concentrates all its efforts on maintaining the orthodox status of Confucianism.
…
When the news of victory from the battlefield in Japan was just delivered, various stories about the expedition to Japan had already begun to circulate in Luoyang.
Because it was still in its early stages, most of the stories were written in the style of Long Aotian, but everyone loved to listen to them, and storytellers basically made a living from this.
Of course, after a little artistic processing, the so-called eight million gods and demons in Japan became real. This god and that god were beaten up one after another by the generals and officers of the Han Dynasty, which made the people of the Han Dynasty excited.
However, since there are male frequencies, there are naturally female frequencies as well. The reason why Liu Ying and other famous people support the development of novelists is naturally because of the popularity of many storybooks.
In ancient times, the love of Longyang was considered a special hobby that only the rich and powerful had, so it had few fans at the grassroots level, but it was very popular among these young ladies in the boudoir.
The love between a man and a woman, the blooming of lilies, the affection between a man and a woman, these are simply the biggest hobbies for these young girls who never go out of the house.
The beautiful Zhou Lang and Sun Bofu, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong...a series of boudoir novels that Liu Ying really loved.
"Ah... Go catch that guy who hasn't written any more chapters and lock him up in a small dark room. Ten days, not three days? If he doesn't finish writing within three days, he won't be given any food!"
Liu Ying tossed and turned on her bed because her favorite serialized novel had stopped updating. The damn author actually dared to cancel it, which was simply intolerable to her. She had been looking forward to it for half a month.
"As you command, Your Highness!"
Diao Chan smiled helplessly. Liu Ying's character was really frustrating, but as one of the most noble people in the world, no one would say anything even if she banned the entire novelist, let alone arresting the author.
"There are some new storybooks in the palace. Would Your Highness like to take a look at them?" Diao Chan casually assigned someone to carry out Liu Ying's order, and then gave some advice in a light tone.
Thanks to the restrictions of the real-name system, the hometowns of these authors are all registered with the bookstores, so they can be caught as long as someone is sent. Unless the author dies suddenly, he is destined to not escape Liu Ying's clutches.
"I won't watch it anymore. They are just young things. It's too tiring to keep up with them!" Liu Ying sat up angrily.
"By the way, didn't the general say when he would return to the capital?" Liu Ying suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Your Majesty, Fengxian's letter said that it would take about a month to withdraw the troops, and the territory of Japan still needs to be thoroughly cleaned up!" Diao Chan said slowly.
Lu Bu, the strongest man in the world, simply does whatever he wants when it comes to doing whatever he wants.
After developing a way to travel through space to get home quickly was not enough, they also studied the way to deliver letters at the speed of light. The principle is simple. It is just like using a flying brick with great force to warm a letter to the extreme, then tearing open the space, passing the hand over, and putting the letter down.
"So boring, so boring, so boring!"
When Liu Ying heard that it would take more than a month before she could see Guo Hao again, she lay down on the bed and tossed and turned.
Diao Chan was a little helpless. Although His Highness was quite majestic most of the time, ultimately all the responsibilities fell on people like Guo Hao and Chen Xi, and Liu Ying had almost no need to grow up.
Even though she is not a child anymore, she sometimes acts more childish than Lu Qiling.
"Let's go out and play!" Liu Ying suddenly sat up again, staring at Diao Chan with burning eyes.
The corner of Diao Chan's mouth twitched. To be honest, if the court was not different now than before, just leaving the palace without permission would be enough for her.
"Your Highness, Tuanzi is not here, and it might be inappropriate to leave the palace!"
Diao Chan thought for a while and said that leaving the palace was actually not a big deal. Liu Ying had sneaked out many times before, but it would not be good if there were no bodyguards around her.
"Ah..." Liu Ying collapsed on the bed, looking as if she was useless.
To be honest, Liu Ying , and she really didn't know what to do. When people are bored, they always want to do something weird.
"Okay, okay, I'll go and ask General Hua and General Mu!" In the end, Diao Chan was defeated by Liu Ying's resentful gaze and had to leave the palace to ask for bodyguards.
With the protection of the Sun Cavalry and the Imperial Guards in the palace, Liu Ying could rest easy. But if she went out to play, the Sun Cavalry would not be able to follow her. It was impossible for the entire legion to follow her. How could she go out for fun then?
But it is inevitable to bump into things when going out, so it is always reassuring to have someone to protect you.
Diao Chan had no choice but to invite a few female generals to go out for fun together.
Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying agreed immediately. Although they both preferred to make achievements on the battlefield , it was not a bad thing to parade on the street with His Highness.
"Luoyang has become much more prosperous!" Liu Ying was surprised when she saw the drastic changes in the streets of Luoyang. She remembered that she had only been staying at home for less than three months, so how come there were suddenly so many fancy things.
"The Prime Minister has done such a great job that Luoyang is changing every day. Not to mention you, even we find it difficult to grasp the changes!" Mu Guiying said with a sigh.
They live in Luoyang every day, but to be honest, they can't keep up with the changes in Luoyang. It is possible that big changes will occur if they are not there for three or two days.
However, what has changed is the content, and the general architecture remains unchanged.
So under the guidance of a latest map of Luoyang, the 16th edition, the group came to a building called Treasure House. Besides eating, drinking and having fun, the biggest hobby of girls when shopping is naturally shopping.
Speaking of this, Liu Ying felt extremely regretful. The silk and other things she used in the palace were naturally the best. They were top-level tributes that even the Roman emperor, the British monarch, and the Parthian emperor could not buy.
But precisely because it is precious, the style is rare. Besides, given her social status, most of her clothes are of fixed styles. Although they are dignified and elegant, she is tired of them!
So Liu Ying especially likes to sneak out for shopping, as there are more styles and she can choose whatever she likes.
Add to that rouge, powder and other things, and Liu Ying always needed several carriages to bring all the things back every time she went shopping.
Are you kidding? The five greatest merchants in the world are nothing compared to Liu Ying, a giant Buddha. Liu Ying’s private treasury holds one percent of the country’s total revenue.
So when faced with anything she likes, Liu Ying has only one attitude, which is to buy, buy, buy. Even if she bargains, she just likes to experience the feeling of bargaining. Liu Ying has no concept of money at all.
After all, when she proposed to build the Holy Heavenly Pavilion, which was equivalent to a wonder, Chen Xi simply glanced at it and approved it without any hesitation at all.
So although Liu Ying had some understanding of prices, she had no idea what the concept of money was. She could buy anything as long as she wanted.
"Huh? Who is this?" Liu Ying was walking around when she found a species she had never seen before. Just by looking at its long ears, it didn't look like a normal person.
As for whether it was a monster or not, the Han Dynasty was too open-minded. After all, there was everything the Han people had not seen. Even if it was a talking ferocious beast, no one knew how many had been captured and cooked in Luoyang.
Everyone was very excited at first, but later they got used to it.
People have long accepted elves and regard them as harmless monsters born and raised by nature. As for the harmful ones, it is impossible for them to cause any trouble in Luoyang. This is not only the self-confidence of the people of Luoyang, but also the sense of security brought by the urban management guards.
In Luoyang, the dragons have to coil and the tigers have to lie down.
The last person who dared to cause trouble in Luoyang has grass two feet high on his grave.
"My Lord...Miss, those are elves, they have fled here from another continent!" After all, Mu Guiying was the one who strolled around Luoyang every day, so she was naturally familiar with these wonders in Luoyang.
"Elves?" Liu Ying became interested. "Come on, let's go and take a look. I haven't seen one yet."
"Hmm?" When Liu Ying was about to enter the door, she found something wrong. There was a badge hanging on the door of the elf's shop, and inside the badge, she actually felt a similar fluctuation of the empire's will.
"Miss, the owner of this store is the wife of General Ju Yi!" Hua Mulan said simply. In fact, this was not a secret.
This elf was the one that Ju Yi rescued when he was being chased by the Huns on the grassland. In the end, it took root in Luoyang because the elf princess married Ju Yi.
Elves are very good at making handicrafts, and coupled with their natural advantages over flowers, plants, and animals, they are basically divided into two groups.
One group settled in the northern Xinjiang grasslands and made a living by running ranches and raising chimeras as sheepdogs. The other group settled in Luoyang and made a living by making exquisite handicrafts.
Although he was quite excluded in the beginning, with Ju Yi backing him up, most people didn't dare to offend him.
Are you kidding? Xu Rong and Ju Yi were two generals who helped Guo Hao get his start. They have more seniority than Jiang Wei and are now the commanders of the Military Soul Corps. Who would be so blind as to offend such a big shot?
Even the dumbest people knew that the status of the Three Talent Legion Commanders and the Military Soul Legion Commanders could not be shaken by ordinary people. The outstanding military exploits of these legions alone were enough for them to respect them.
However, the human species is the least memorable of all species and is also the most likely to commit suicide.
There are quite a few people who are not afraid of death, and the existence of alien creatures like elves always attracts some people to cause trouble.
The war in Japan lasted for almost a whole year, and some stupid playboys came to the door again. After all, elves are a species that can easily attract a lot of attention.
So in front of Liu Ying's eyes, a scene of a young bully bullying a good girl was played out. If it weren't for the onlookers around, Liu Ying almost thought that someone was setting a trap for her. It was such a coincidence that she had finally managed to sneak out, but ended up encountering such a thing.
