Chapter 404: The Origin of the Doctor Corps
"Second brother, do you think Confucius traveling around the countries was considered a missionary?"
On the way back in the carriage after leaving Ji Yi's house, Wu Haogu suddenly asked his brother a bit strange question.
Wu Hao frowned, "Travel...teaching? Brother, why did you say so much?"
It's a bit twisted. The saint was called a missionary by Wu Haogu. How can he keep changing?
Wu Haogu’s ancient saying: “Is it a twist? Didn’t Confucius take his disciples to take more than ten years to pass Wei, Cao, Song, Zheng, Chen, Cai, Chu and other countries to promote his avenue? This is missionary!”
"Brother, what you said... OK, even if it is a missionary."
Wu Haogu nodded and said, "Then the sage Confucius was able to travel around the countries to preach missions, so can our Confucian scholars imitate our ancestors and travel around the countries to spread the teachings of Confucius and Mencius in all directions?"
Wu Haogu thought that the way of Confucius and Mencius was so good. It was not good if the Chinese people, the Korean people, the Vietnamese people, and Japanese imperialism were learned after learning it. How could it be so bad? Why did people all over the world learn it together?
If people all over the world want to learn the ways of Confucius and Mencius, then someone will spread the ways of Confucius and Mencius! Otherwise, who would have known that there is such a good way of Confucius and Mencius?
Wu Hao shook his head and said, "Brother, how can we compare with saints? The way of spreading the great way is done by saints. How can we wait for the younger generations to do it?"
"Why can't it?" Wu Haogu said seriously, "You see, Sakyamuni has never been to Middle Earth? Now, Sakyamuni's believers are all in Kaifeng, and even you, a Jinshi, are worshiping Buddha.
There is also the saint of the Tianfang Sect, Muhammad, who has never been to China. Now there are many Tianfang Temples in Quanzhou? There is also the Cross Sect, the saint of the Nestorians called... Brother Tian Jesus, who has never been to China? The disciples of the Tang Dynasty came. They can all come, but why can't we Confucian scholars go? Can those monks, monks, and monks who have come to China compare with their founding masters? Don't they still preach everywhere?"
"Brother, what do you say... how can you compare the teachings of Confucius and Mencius with Buddhism, Tianfang Buddhism, and Nestorianism?"
Wu Haogu nodded, "You are right, you can't compare it! The main reason is that our Confucian scholars cannot imitate the sages and have not spread the principles of saints in all directions. Therefore, Buddhism, Tianfang Buddhism and Nestorianism are spread everywhere!"
What does it mean? Wu Hao looked at his brother. This means that Confucianism is not as good as Buddhism, Tianfang Buddhism and Nestorianism? How can you have such a traitor?
Wu Hao said seriously: "Brother, the truth is not the better the farther you spread."
Wu Haogu said seriously: "Why don't the saint squint in Lu State and travel around the countries to do it? Although the great way cannot be judged by the spread of far and near, the way that cannot be spread is definitely a failed way."
"This..." Wu Hao's eyelids flipped over. He really didn't know what to say to his brother who was thinking wrong? Because although Wu Haogu's words were nonsense, they seemed to make some sense at first glance.
When Wu Haogu saw that his younger brother had nothing to say, he thought he was more reasonable and asked again: "You have to give me advice to Brother Yu, how should I spread the saint's way?"
This question... can be used as a policy discussion for the Ministry of Rites!
Wu Hao was still a good brother. He thought about it carefully and said, "There were Biyong in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Taixue and the Academies in the Western Han Dynasty. When our dynasty was prosperous, there were not only the Imperial College, the Taixue, the primary school, the prefecture, the prefecture, the county school, and many folk academies. These were all used to spread the principles of the sages."
"Yes, yes." Wu Haogu nodded repeatedly, "You can't call it a temple, you have to call it a college... You can't call it a monk or a Taoist priest, you have to call it a doctor."
It’s good to have a younger brother named Jinshi who ranked sixth in the imperial examination! Wu Haogu chatted with his brother for a while and then suddenly realized.
If Confucianism wants to go out, it must have an organization for preaching and preaching. This organization can be called "Confucius College" or "Confucian and Mencius College", or it can be another college. The college is equivalent to a temple, so the monastic community is the doctoral organization, and it is the head of the doctoral organization itself!
The doctoral group should also be divided into two categories: preaching and protecting the Tao. The doctoral students who preach are doctors in the academy, responsible for teaching the truth of Confucianism. The doctoral students who protect the Tao are armed doctors, responsible for using bows, arrows, swords and guns to educate all kinds of barbarians... Those who can be educated will be educated, and those who cannot be educated will be eliminated!
Well, there is no difference between religion! Barbarians are also human beings, and they should also be bathed in the glory of Confucius and Mencius’s truth! Only when all barbarians are educated to restrain themselves and return to courtesy can the world truly return to benevolence!
It turns out that the passage of "Yan Yuan Asking Ren" can be explained like this! Wu Haogu thought about it and felt that his Confucianism had reached a higher level, and he was closer to the level of a great Confucianism.
Moreover, spreading Confucianism is also a way to save the country. If Wanyan Aguda and his family and Genghis Khan's ancestors were educated by the Confucian doctoral organization and emphasized martial arts to take the imperial examination, wouldn't the world be peaceful?
Even if the Jurchens and Mongolia cannot be educated, the doctoral group can develop and grow in Liao, Xixia, Goryeo, Japan and Annan? It can always recruit many armed doctors, and then they can defend the Confucian Taoist tradition of Liao, and can also be used to educate various barbarians on the islands of the South China Sea... In short, the doctoral group and the merchant group can truly expand the Confucian Taoist tradition and truly expand the living space of China.
Otherwise, even if the population is colonized, it will spread genes, not Taoism.
Wu Haoguxin said: Now someone can finally inherit the ideals of Confucius and Mencius! Confucius and Mencius will definitely bless him, a great Confucian scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, above the nine heavens... Because of the revitalization of Confucianism, one must rely on his true great Confucian scholar.
But Wu Hao shook his head repeatedly and said, "Brother, don't think about these useless things. With this skill, you should find a better official position for your younger brother."
Why is it useless? Wu Haogu, who felt that he was very likely to become a great scholar, sighed in his heart. His younger brother had just passed the imperial examination, so he threw the matter of promoting Confucianism aside and wanted to be an official.
According to the system of the Song Dynasty, after the first to fourth grade Jinshi were promoted, they did not need to be evaluated by the Ministry of Personnel to be released before they could be released into the official position. However, even if they were released into the official position directly, there was a process. Sometimes it was common for them to wait for a few months without an official position.
Because the phenomenon of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty was very serious, there were often several officials waiting to be selected for a position.
However, Wu Hao will not stay for a long time, not because he has someone in the court, but because his ranking is relatively high. The time for a Jinshi to be selected is determined based on the ranking. The higher the ranking, the earlier it will be awarded an official position. Wu Hao is the second-class first place, and he will be able to get an official position in April and will have an official position in May and June.
Needless to say, he was the one who sent his salary to the Nine Generals and Shilang. He chose the lowest among the fourth grade, that is, the smallest one. As for his position, some of them are easy to say. There are also advantages to judge the Sipuwei, right? And there is also a saying about where to serve.
If you are a local official, it is impossible for Kaifeng Prefecture. Wu Hao’s household registration is in Kaifeng Prefecture. But you can still find a place closer to Feng Prefecture, so that you can go home and pay mercy to your parents from time to time.
In addition, it is not impossible not to be a judge in the Si Chuwei and directly arrange to be an official in the capital. Wu Hao is also Zhao Ji's person? Moreover, his father-in-law or Han Zhongyan should be given some preferential treatment?
"Do you want to stay in Beijing?" Wu Haogu asked.
"It's better to stay in the middle of the capital." Wu Hao nodded, "Brother, do you have any way?"
Although Wu Hao is now the first Jinshi in the second place, he is still young, only 18 years old, and he has only entered university in the future. Moreover, he has a little home, and his experience is zero. If you really want to go to a place, you will definitely have bad things, so it is more reassuring to stay in Kaifeng Prefecture.
"Then..." Wu Haogu thought for a while, "Then you get married first, get the title of the gold list, and have a wedding wedding, how great... If you go to Daming Mansion to get married with the seventeenth sister of the Han family, how can you delay the appointment for a few months? At the latest, you will have a way to get you a secretary for the first time."
"Entering the Secretariat? Really?"
The Secretariat is not a department in charge of female secretary, but a department in the national library and archives. Naturally, the oil and water who work in a library cannot be compared with being the "county public security chief" in the local area. However, the Song Dynasty emphasized military affairs, so how could the future of catching thieves be compared with the official who manages books? Zheng is the smallest "confucian minister". A proofreader who is one level older than Zheng is considered a library position.
If you can become a secretary when you first enter the official career, you will not dare to say that the Hanlin Bachelor (the Hanlin Bachelor of the Song Dynasty was a high-ranking official). That would be a matter of time.
"No problem." Wu Haogu said in a low voice, "Empress Dowager Xiang has no intention of doing politics and trusts the government very much. He probably will remove the curtains in the autumn. At that time, I will talk to the government and let you go to the Secretariat to be the official."
When Empress Dowager Xiang was about to remove the curtain, Zhao Ji was ready to speak. It was just a regular word, not a proofreader, so there was nothing wrong with Wu Hao doing it.
"That's thank you, brother." Wu Hao immediately thanked him in the carriage.
The two brothers immediately became much more enthusiastic. They were talking and laughing along the way and returned to the Wu family mansion in the west wing of the city. As soon as they entered the house, Wu Haogu saw his father Wu Chengzhi guarding the yard. When they saw Wu Haogu, they hurriedly said: "Brother, Lihua Villa has just sent someone to report to the Lihua Villa, saying that the Eighteenth Sister is about to give birth."
Pan Qiaolian was pregnant in July last year, and her due date is almost April this year, which is now.
"Prepare the horse quickly!"
