Chapter 144 Moved the Kong Family's Cheese
Dengzhou Mansion is getting more and more lively.
Since the beginning of spring, several workshops have been built outside the city, none of which are properties under the name of the Chu Palace.
The Wendeng Pier is also being expanded now, and several other ships have begun to go out to sea for fishing. However, no matter the scale or the fishing volume, they cannot compare with the East China Sea fishery for the time being.
At the same time, students at Huzhu Primary School began to use books using pinyin, phonetic notation and punctuation marks.
If this impact is not obvious yet, then the emergence of the "Three Character Classic" used in the introductory class of Huzhu Primary School quickly spread to Chang'an City.
"When humans are born, their nature is good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart..."
In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin took the "Three Character Classic" that Bai Qisi had brought back from Dengzhou and read it with a look of shock.
"Li Zhong, is this book really written by Chu Suiliang, Shangguan Yi and Xu Jingzong organized by Kuan'er? He wrote his name at the top, doesn't he steal other people's work?"
"Your Majesty, judging from the information on the title page, it was compiled by the King of Chu and three scholars. However, according to the information obtained by Bai Qisi, the first half of this book was basically completed by His Royal Highness the King of Chu alone.
Only the ones at the end were completed by Chu Suiliang and others."
The original "Three Character Classic" contains the words "Tang Gaozu, the rebel leader. He eliminated the rebellion of the Sui Dynasty and established the foundation of the country. Twenty biographies, three hundred years. Liang was destroyed and the country was changed." Naturally, Li Kuan would not be stupid.
Copy it, and there is no way to directly use the content after Tang Dynasty.
In addition, the impact of writing such an enlightening book was really far-reaching. Li Kuan did not mind sharing the credit with several of his subordinates, which would be of great benefit to their future career.
If many of the bigwigs in the court were born in the Prince Chu's palace, and others want to trouble Li Kuan in the future, they will have more concerns in their hearts.
This also led to the fact that Chu Suiliang compiled the second half of the "Three Character Classic".
Originally, Li Kuan wanted to compile "One Hundred Surnames", one of the three classic enlightenment books, but considering that the ranking of surnames involves too many things, he finally gave up on this idea.
"This Kuan'er is really enlightened. In the past two years, strange and weird things have appeared one after another."
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is of noble blood and his knowledge is no better than ordinary people. I think this is a reasonable thing." Li Zhong inadvertently flattered Li Shimin, which made Li Shimin feel happy.
"I always feel that Kuan'er will still stir up some troubles. In the future, all matters related to him will be reported to me as soon as possible."
…
Since the Han Dynasty, when Confucianism was the sole focus of Yanzhou and Qufu, its status has become more and more extraordinary.
In the second year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin canonized Confucius as the first sage, making the status of the Confucius family in Qufu even more noble.
As the thirty-first grandson of Confucius, Kong Yingda is the head of the Confucius family of this generation.
In the sixth year of Zhenguan just past, Kong Yingda was promoted to the title of Crown Prince's Right Concubine, and concurrently served as the Imperial Prince's Secretary. He also collaborated with Wei Zheng to compile the "History of the Sui Dynasty", and was appointed as a regular attendant. It can be said that he was unparalleled in his time.
Now, he was ordered by Li Shimin to compile the "Five Classics of Justice", which is the "Book of Songs", "Shangshu" and "Shu Jing", "Book of Rites", "Book of Changes", and "Spring and Autumn".
Since the founding of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court has officially declared these five books as classics, known as the Five Classics.
However, in the past two days, his face has been a bit ugly.
"Is this news accurate?"
"Teacher, this is what this disciple has seen with his own eyes. Originally, the master of the family asked my disciple to go to Dengzhou to see if there are any new development opportunities for the family industry. By chance, the disciple went to Huzhu Primary School, which is the new school established by His Royal Highness the King of Chu in Dengzhou.
None of the students studied in the Five Classics." Lu Xuan stood respectfully in front of Kong Yingda and recounted his experiences.
"Yesterday, His Majesty just asked the Ministry of Rites to promote the "Three Character Classic". It is said that His Royal Highness the King of Chu personally led the people to compile it. It is very extraordinary. My teacher even praised it in front of Your Majesty. I didn't expect that there is such a story behind it.
.”
Kong Yingda's face looked a little ugly. Scholars all over the world must read "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius" and the Five Classics. This has been a convention established for hundreds of years. No school dares to break it easily.
"The Thousand-Character Classic taught by elementary school students in various places will slowly start to study the Analects and the Five Classics after one or two years. Is it possible that those in Huzhu Primary School have not started learning the classics yet?"
Li Kuan was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but Kong Yingda was still reluctant to believe that a prince would do such a thing that challenged the status of Confucianism.
This is overestimating one's capabilities.
"Teacher, I thought so at first. But there are two classes in Huzhu Primary School. Except for the introductory class and the night class, which teach people to read and write, it is time for the students in the back to study the scriptures. But the disciple asked them privately
The courses taught every day are arithmetic, law, calligraphy, medical skills and history books, and even riding, archery, and playing the piano are taught, but there is no one responsible for teaching classics."
Lu Xuan felt that he had finally found one of Li Kuan's pigtails. He was very excited and spoke in a decisive tone.
"Hmph, my Confucian orthodoxy that has lasted for hundreds of years cannot be defeated by a child with a yellow mouth. Xuan'er, you have worked hard along the way. Go back and rest first. I have my own plans for this matter!"
…
Looking at the pile of memorials to impeach Li Kuan in front of the table, Li Shimin was a little annoyed.
"Li Zhong, when did that scoundrel offend so many people again? How come so many people from the Ministry of Rites, the Imperial College and the Yushitai are impeaching him?"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu seems to be busy with the affairs of the mutual aid primary school recently. It is said that the professor who is often in charge of arithmetic in the school has also compiled a unique arithmetic textbook. You shouldn't offend anyone."
"If you haven't offended anyone, why are there so many people impeaching you? Today in the court, even Kong Yingda stood up and said that the evil man was competing for profits with the people, allowing his subordinates to do business, and disrespecting the ancestors; there was even a censor who said that he
He violated the imperial ban and hid a heavy crossbow with the intention of treason. You tell me that he has not offended anyone, do you believe it yourself?"
After being spat on by Li Shimin, Li Zhong desperately thought about the information that had come to Dengzhou during this period, "Your Majesty, what Kong Siye said about fighting for profits with the people, doing business, and even the secret treasures of the imperial censor's impeachment
Nu and Wei Chen can all give some reasons, but that one who doesn't respect the ancestors seems a bit strange."
After all, he was a professional in intelligence, so Li Zhong quickly found out some doubts.
Sometimes, there is no question about the content, but it is the most questionable.
"Disrespecting the ancestors?"
After being reminded by Li Zhongyi, Li Shimin also felt strange about this article of impeachment, and vaguely felt that he had caught something.
"Could it be that that scoundrel has provoked the Kong family this time? Li Zhong, go check and see who Kong Yingda has met recently, and also take stock to see what the scoundrel has done recently that conflicts with the Kong family.
