Chapter 991: Contradictory philosophy
Prince Lu Bin is extremely confused at this moment.
The position of crown prince was not enthroned by his father, but everyone in the court thought that his father had an accident and could not come back, so they supported him as the crown prince.
After the father came back, although he did not take off his prince, he felt that he couldn't feel happy.
There are also a series of things that happened later, which made the prince feel that his father liked his younger brother Lu Sheng more and did not like him very much.
The last time my father tested himself because of the couplet, but the answer he gave at that time went against his father's ideas.
My father probably didn’t like it either?
The answer given by his younger brother Lu Sheng is almost perfect.
This time, it was also another test for the father.
If I can no longer give an answer that satisfies my father, I guess my father will be even more displeased with me, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Bin couldn't help but think about his father's thoughts.
The matter of writing reform was proposed by the father.
Later, nearly one-third of the ministers opposed it. The father's attitude was extremely firm. He would rather let all one-third of the officials be laid off than to resolutely implement written reforms.
But now, because of the reform of the text, it is so troublesome. How will the father deal with this matter?
With the attitude of the father, he will definitely suppress it toughly, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Bin already had the answer in his mind.
Lu Bin couldn't help but say: "Father, son-in-law, believe that these scholars are bold and rebellious, leading the scholars to make trouble openly, which is like rebelling. All these scholars who make trouble should be arrested and sentenced to death! To serve as a warning to others and warn future generations!"
Um?
The prince's method made Lu Bu move.
This time, the prince’s approach to handling the matter coincides with me.
Lu Bu nodded secretly and asked, "Bin'er, what do you think about the reform of the text?"
Lu Bin thought for a while and said carefully: "Father, the reform of the writing is a good national policy that benefits the present and the future. After the reform of the writing, the scholars will be more relaxed in their studies and can cultivate more talents for our Dahua."
Lu Bu nodded slightly, then asked Lu Sheng, "Sheng'er, I wonder what you think?"
Lu Sheng smiled and said, "Father, I think your reform is really great! You know, Father, too. My son doesn't like reading, and always feels that the writing in the book is too difficult to pronounce."
"Now, streamlining Chinese characters and promoting vernacular Chinese will make it much easier to read books in the future, and I can understand them. I think that after promoting vernacular Chinese, all the people can read and understand books, which is really great!"
Hearing Lu Sheng’s understanding, Lu Bin showed a disdainful smile on his face.
My younger brother is very skilled in martial arts, but he doesn't like studying.
This understanding is completely different from what my teacher taught me, and it has violated the ways of sages.
The father will definitely not be happy.
Suddenly, Lu Bin had an idea.
By the way, why don’t I refute Lu Sheng and show it in front of my father?
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng couldn't help but speak, "Second brother, studying, at any time, is a few people who get things done. Confucius said: People can be used to do it, but not to know it. If these people let them eat and wear warmth, they will be content and do not need to let them understand too much."
Lu Sheng couldn't help but tell: "But if the people were allowed to study and understand the truth, wouldn't it be better to manage it?"
Hearing Lu Sheng's words, Lu Bin couldn't help frowning and said, "The people can be used to it, but not to know it. This is what Confucius said. Do you not respect Confucius' words? Father, do you think so?"
After saying that, a hint of pride appeared on Lu Sheng's face.
Brother Sheng doesn’t like reading, he doesn’t understand so many truths.
In ancient times, respecting teachers and respecting Taoism was emphasized, and Confucius' status in all dynasties was very high.
Confucius was a teacher of the emperor. If he did not follow the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, he would be regarded as heresy and rebellious.
After listening to the argument between his two sons, Lu Bu couldn't help but look thoughtful on his face.
According to the general emperor's way, what Lu Bin said is completely correct.
The first emperors in ancient times were fooling the people and the second was balance.
But here in Lu Bu, he actually did not follow the traditional imperial way.
Over the years, Lu Bu has been fighting in the south and north, either making decisions on the battle and neglecting to teach the prince.
Over the years, Cai Yong has basically been teaching the prince.
However, the prince's ruling philosophy is now different from his own.
Once he abdicates and the prince ascends the throne, will he overturn his ideas?
If you start teaching the prince from now on, can you still change his ideas?
Or let the prince go and let him hold his current philosophy?
The prince’s philosophy cannot be said to be wrong, it is just inconsistent with Lu Bu’s philosophy.
After thinking for a while, Lu Bu did not come up with the best solution.
Forget it, let's try to teach it first.
"Bin'er, Sheng'er, the original intention of the father's reform of the text is actually to promote Chinese, so that the whole people can read and improve their quality."
"Not only that, the father will also expand and spread Chinese so that everyone in the world can speak and write Chinese. Then, we can include the whole world into our territory."
What?
My father’s intention was exactly the same as what my second brother said?
I taught my second brother a lesson, but in the end I was wrong?
For a moment, Lu Bin's cheeks were hot, but his heart was cold.
I couldn't understand my father's intentions, but my second brother, without thinking, had all the thoughts and thoughts with my father!
Thinking of this, Lu Bin couldn't help but ask questions and answers: "Father, but Confucius said: The people can be used to do so, but not to know them. If the people are allowed to read, they all understand the truth, wouldn't it be difficult to discipline them?"
Lu Bu smiled slightly and said, "Reading is wise and reading is wise. Only after reading books can you be more reasonable! The era in which Saint Confucius lived is very different from the modern times."
"What Confucius said may be in line with their era, but it may not be adaptable until now. It is better to have no books than to believe in books! Therefore, even if Confucius gets what he says, we will listen to what he says, and if he says something wrong, then don't listen!"
boom!
Lu Bu's words were like a thunder thunder blew in front of him.
Let Lu Bin stand still for a moment and can't speak for a long time.
The Four Books and Five Classics are classics!
The sage Confucius and the sub-sage Mencius all speak the most profound sayings.
However, the father actually said that not all they said were right!
For a moment, Lu Bin didn't know what to do.
Chapter completed!
