Chapter 72 The Weapon of Criticism
To be honest, I have never read the Fifth Reunion, the knowledge that Yang Xiong values most, "Fayan" and "Taixuan", has been the fifth reunion in the past year, because he focuses on practical studies and is really uninterested in obscure theories.
Until Yang Xiong's funeral was almost the same, the three brothers and brothers took turns to watch the night. When they were resting in the fifth reunion, they tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. So they lit the candle, untied the ropes on the bamboo slips, and began to try to read them.
"Fayan" was written by Yang Xiong in imitation of the Analects of Confucius. It is similar in form, one by one, and I don't know what the fifth reunion has in advance. I only heard Hou Ba mention it. This book covers a wide range of things, meaning it is a criterion for judging mistakes and right and wrong.
The fifth chapter is only found in the first chapter, called "Learning and Practice", which talks about the way of studying and being a teacher.
"What a teacher! What a teacher! Tongzi's destiny is. It is better to seek a teacher than to study. A teacher is a model of human beings."
Teachers are the fundamental reason for helping those who are not infatuated to eliminate evil and be kind and settle down. It is better to try your best to learn, because teachers are models for people.
The words are somewhat obscure, not as colloquial and humorous as "The Analects of Confucius". Even the words from the Spring and Autumn Period can be vaguely understood after reading them two thousand years. Even if the author's name is still a judgment of the highest level. It seems that the Analects of Confucius is widely circulated, but few people know about the Dharma words, which is not without reason.
The fifth reunion still insisted on reading it, but saw Yang Xiong emphasizing that being a teacher should not hide anything from his disciples and should give them all. When he thought of himself, he only sighed: "I am lucky in this life and can be a disciple of Yangzi."
It can be seen that Yang Xiong's ideals are condensed in the book, but the critical weapon is still too weak after all.
It’s almost time to read one article a day, but the fifth reunion still has difficulty falling asleep. He has been worried about his plan. What should he do if he fails?
Just after dawn, the door was knocked suddenly? But Wang Long came to the door with some angrily angrily? He pushed the fifth reunion roughly.
"Boyu, what do you mean?"
"What happened?"
Wang Long waved his sleeves and said, "Don't pretend to be innocent? All the things have spread? You wrote to Your Majesty through the national master, saying that you would make up for the fault of Master's failure to make a fortune? Requesting to join Zhu Tufeng and bravely go to the Huns to fight. The emperor has passed the memorial to all the ministers? Everyone knows it!"
"Is it announced?" The big rock hanging in Di Wulun's heart loosened? It seems that the matter is halfway. The two or three sons born to them don't have to worry for the time being, and they are beaten to death by the projectiles flying from the dark at any time.
Wang Long, who was dedicated to lyrics and poems, did not understand the good intentions of the fifth reunion? He only said angrily: "You know that the Master opposed the Northern Expedition of the Huns until his death? He even wrote a fu theory to satirize this matter and criticize the military and powerful acts, but did not implicate us. How could you rebel against the Master's last wish and do such a thing that betrayed the teacher's will? Now it is said that outsiders are worthy of being Yang Xiong's disciple, just like his teacher? He pretends to be quiet, filial and kind, but in fact he is enthusiastic about meritorious titles."
"Wenshan! Stop!"
The fifth reunion is not waiting for answers? Hou Ba walked in and had not slept for two days and two nights after drinking. Still immersed in sadness? Wang Long, who was too excited.
Hou Ba is the oldest? He is already over thirty years old and understands the difficulties of the world: "Wenshan, Boyu stood up to protect the funeral of Master and protect us!"
Fortunately, Wang Long's family is a big dog family. Although he is not good at making suggestions, he is extremely generous and generous in his actions. He has long since patted his chest to guarantee that he would take all the expenses of sending Yang Xiong back to the burial!
Fifth Reun replaced Wang Long, who had not been sleeping for too long, and returned to the mourning hall again. Today is the last day of keeping the spirits, and you will be able to be funeral tomorrow to go south to Shuzhong. The mourning people should have come, and at least you don’t have to cry and make your toes hurt your toes today.
The hall was furnished with curtains, and the sacrifices were paid tribute to Yang Xiong with dried meat, meat sauce and sweet wine. The sacrifices were placed on the east side of the coffin. Under the eaves on the west steps were black and white. They were connected by black and red.
He bowed to Yang Xiong's coffin again, and the fifth reunion whispered: "It is to abandon some original intentions, keep climbing upwards, and seek power to protect oneself."
"I'll just stay silently, guarding the 'quietness', being trampled on my head, and being in danger of danger."
"Teacher, do you remember that you asked me, how would I choose the two paths between the national teacher and you?"
...
Wu Lun once put himself in his shoes and looked at this inexplicable war from Wang Mang's perspective.
"This is a Chinese sovereign."
"It's even more paranoid."
"The planned things must be done, regardless of whether they are realistic or not, he will even deceive himself: the reason why he failed to achieve peace in the world is because I have not completed this matter yet. As long as I finish it, everything will be restored to the beginning."
Starting ten years ago, Wang Mang's reforms were linked: restoring the Sanyong, Wang Tian's private subordinates, planning the well fields, monetary reform, five equals and six prisons, and conquering the four barbarians... The ultimate goal is to achieve a perfect peaceful era, and the barbarians advance to the title, and the world is as big as the far and near.
Under the retro appearance, we must surpass the Han people in civil and military affairs, prove that we are the real emperor, and it is Confucius' ambition to show the saint five hundred years later!
But the problem is that he is too anxious and does not care whether the previous thing succeeds or not. As time comes, the next thing must be launched immediately. So the more politics and the more chaotic the world becomes, the more today's situation is.
In the view of Di Wulun, Wang Mang was actually in a difficult situation in the fight against the Huns. The situation of internal and external difficulties was there. No one except himself really wanted to go to war with the Huns.
After all, this was when the other party wanted to make peace, he suddenly made the Xiongnu envoy the Shanyu and started a war. It was like the ambassador of a certain country who came to visit, but you directly detained it and announced that you would establish a new central government for the neighboring countries. Apart from Wang Mang, there were really few people who could do it.
Ten years ago, a twelve army of 300,000 people set out on the front line, but in the end they were ineffective and did not even get out of the way. The lesson was still in front of us. So this time, except for a few people such as Dasikong Wang Yi, most of the ministers remained silent even if they did not dare to object. As for the middle and bottom voices, they were completely missing.
The fifth reunion thought: "If I were Wang Mang and I was determined to do this alone, I would definitely hope to hear some praise to prove that I am right."
That's why Wang Mang listened to Chen Chong's words and ordered Yang Xiong to write a poem.
What he wanted was not a fu, but a voice of support and praise besides his trusted and trusted ministers.
Yang Xiong did not hand over his work even after his death. If someone volunteered to fight at this time, he would still be a young scholar who is quite famous among the people, would Wang Mang be happy or angry?
So, the fifth reunion decided to take a gamble.
There are precedents for similar things. A few years ago, there was a great famine on the northern edge and people fed each other, and the army was still stationed in the border. After the court was ordered to inspect, he said, "Soldiers have been in trouble for a long time, and the border counties cannot support each other. Now Shanyu is in a new way, so it is better to stop the troops."
When he got up and looked at Huan Tan, Huan Tan also looked at the fifth reunion for no reason.
The fifth relationship suddenly understood.
This is probably the result of Huan Tan's attempt to protect Yang Xiong and his three disciples' complete completeness and writing to Wang Mang. I don't know what Huan Tan said, "The emperor sent someone to pay condolences, which basically means that the previous matter will not be investigated."
But if Wang Mang doesn’t pursue Yang Xiong, the fifth reunion will still pursue Wang Mang!
In short, this was when Huan Tan did not communicate with the fifth relationship. The two of them worked hard, but the two things were in conflict, which was considered to have done a little more useless work.
By the way, it also disrupted the wish of the fifth reunion to join the army and to gain some military power as soon as possible.
But when Huan Tan changed a piece of silk, he recited: "There are three books of etiquette. Heaven and earth are the foundation of life; ancestors are the foundation of species; kings and teachers are the foundation of governance."
"I know that the fifth relationship is eager to serve the country, but the teacher's way is the most important thing. I will allow you to support the teacher's coffin and return to Shu first. It is not too late to go to the military service in the first month of the first year of the Dihuang."
Wu Lun didn't understand, but Huan Tan went into the house and went to Yang Xiong and whispered: "After seeing the letter, Your Majesty was very comforted and told him that he even sent a copy to Wuweisi Ming Mansion. But I still want to let all your disciples go and return quickly, and don't delay both."
Seeing that Di Wu Lun was still surprised, Huan Tan sighed, "Do you think it's strange?"
The fifth nod was quite strange. Is this Wang Mang’s style of conduct?
Huan Tan sighed: "Your Majesty is such a person, Bo Yu, whether you believe it or not, he is indeed a 'good person' in some things."
Killing children and grandchildren makes the people in the world feel good? The fifth relationship is uncommon, and I just think it is a cat who cries the mouse and pretends to be compassionate, and bows his head and says, "It sounds like Doctor Huan knows it very well today."
"That's natural." Huan Tan felt lost: "After all, I have experienced success and a sad world. I know the decline of the late Han Dynasty and witnessed how he entered the position of emperor as a saint."
Huan Tan was actually full of questions, wanting to ask the fifth family, why did he join the army for no reason and enter the deep pit of the northern expedition? But there was no hurry. In the next two months, he would have time to get along well with this boy, although they had never dealt with him very much.
"This time I enter Shu, I will go with you."
Huan Tan did not ask whether the fifth republic would be willing or not, so he patted his shoulder and said shamelessly:
"Don't be polite, Ziyun's disciple is my disciple!"
