Chapter 604 The Great Debate of Immortal Confucianism(1/2)

After Chunyu Yue returned home, he couldn't sleep all night.

The next morning, he tried hard to sleep for two hours, and then called all the Confucian scholars.

These Confucian scholars have always regarded Chunyu Yue as their leader. Suddenly, Chunyu Yue called him in the morning. They were all a little nervous and didn't know what was going on.

Chunyu Yue looked at them and said quietly: "Everyone, I have encountered a difficult thing recently and I can't figure it out. I hope you can solve my doubts."

These Confucian scholars all said: "Dr. Chunyu is a great scholar of the world. How can we figure it out if you can't even understand something."

Chunyu Yue shook his head: "Otherwise, it will always be good to concentrate on your thoughts. What's more, even that shameless person can tell such a thing very well, why can't you understand?"

Chunyu Yue did not directly say Li Shui's name, but after hearing the four words "shameless", these doctors immediately understood that they were talking about exiled immortals.

After all, these four words are equated with the exiled immortal.

A doctor stood up and asked with a sincere look on his face: "I don't know what Dr. Chunyu is talking about?"

Chunyu Yue said: "Can Confucianism govern the country?"

The doctors looked at each other and said with some confusion: "Does this... need discussion?"

In their opinion, this issue is not a problem at all, and Confucianism can certainly govern the country.

Isn’t this a matter of being self-reliant and regaining rituals, and anyone follows the rules and then reaches the prosperity of the sages in the mouth of saints?

Chunyu Yue closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then told him what happened last night.

Chunyu Yue suffered a huge blow last night.

His thoughts were almost defeated by Huai Guzi in one fell swoop, but after dawn, he was still a little unwilling to accept it, so he found these Confucian scholars.

Chunyu Yue came to visit Confucian scholars not because he wanted to attack Li Shui, but because he wanted to hear the opinions of these Confucian scholars and give himself some strength.

This is something that has never happened to Chunyu Yue, who has always been confident.

However, after listening to Chunyu Yue's story, the Confucian scholars were all filled with righteous indignation and began to attack Li Shui.

Some Confucian scholars said: "It's so arrogant that the exiled immortal actually wants to exterminate Confucianism."

Chunyu Yue was stunned and said, "Huaiguzi did not say that he wanted to exterminate Confucianism, but that Confucianism could cultivate oneself and manage the family, but could not govern the country and pacify the world."

The Confucian scholars said verbally: "What is the difference between this and the extinction of Confucianism?"

"Isn't the knowledge that cannot govern the country and pacify the world the same as the Buddhist teachings that have been recently introduced from the Peacock Kingdom?"

"This is to cut off the foundation of my Central Plains culture."

Chunyu Yue was a little stunned: "Is it really that serious?"

The Confucian scholars were filled with righteous indignation, and later Chunyu Yue could not even get into his mouth.

However, when Chunyu Yue asked these Confucian scholars what was wrong with the exiled immortal’s statement yesterday, these Confucian scholars did not answer, but kept changing the topic and saying that Huaiguzi’s heart was punishable.

Later, Chunyu Yue realized that he was a great scholar in the world and could not solve the problem of exiled immortals. How could these people solve it?

Chunyu Yue shook his head and sighed, walked to the courtyard, left the group of Confucian scholars in the room, and let them be excited inside.

Chunyu Jia walked over quietly and said to Chunyu Yue: "Master, why are you always frowning these two days?"

Chunyu Yue laughed: "Last night, I had only one big puzzle, but this morning, there were two."

Chunyu Jia looked at Chunyu Yue with a look of surprise.

Chunyu Yue said: "Last night, Huai Guzi made a lot of discussion about my Confucianism, which made me irrefutable. And this morning, these Confucian scholars began to attack Huai Guzi again. But I can't figure out what confidence they have to fight Huai Guzi. After all, they seem to have not put forward any refreshing views except for their passion."

Chunyu Jia thought for a while and said to Chunyu Yue: "Master, the little man is not knowledgeable about the exiled immortal and cannot explain it clearly. However, the villain has some ideas about the Confucian scholars."

Chunyu Yue looked at Chunyu Jia strangely: "Let's talk about it."

Chunyu Jia said: "The Confucian scholars learned all their lives. They found people with similar aspirations and became good friends. They also relied on Confucianism to become officials in the court and became doctors."

"They also want to rely on Confucianism to govern the country and pacify the world. Once the Qin Dynasty really practices Confucianism, they must value Confucian scholars, and then these people can become important officials in the court."

"Because, no matter whether the Confucian scholars can come up with a reason to refute Huaiguzi, they must refute Huaiguzi, because it is related to their wealth, life and future."

Chunyu Yue suddenly realized and felt that everything was explained.

He looked back at the Confucian scholars in the room and found that although these people were wearing wide robes and belts, and dressed up in a decent manner, what they did...ah, how could they conform to the teachings of the saints?

Suddenly, Chunyu Yue looked at Chunyu Jia with some surprise: "Why can you think of this layer?"

Chunyu Jia said embarrassedly: "These few days, the villain has always gone to Shangjun Villa to discuss printing books..."

Chunyu Yue knew about this. Chunyu Jia wrote down all the stories he heard when he was a child and printed them into a book. It is said that the sales were pretty good.

But... what does this have to do with Chun Yu Jia's ability to guess the psychology of Confucian scholars?

Chunyu Jia continued, "Because I went there a lot, I occasionally heard those craftsmen talking about it. It is said that many of them were listening to philosophy classes of the exiled immortals."

"Because this lesson is not expensive, at first, they wanted to see more of the style of the banished immortal. Later, after listening to it, they felt enlightened."

"When the villain heard that they mentioned some of the views of the exiled immortals, he couldn't help but think about it more when he encountered something."

"At first, I couldn't sleep at night, so I thought about the people and things I met during the day, thinking about why they said that and why they did it."

"I often think about it for a few hours, and suddenly I suddenly realized what the reason for doing this. Later, practice makes perfect. Now I hear something, see something, and think about it for a moment, and then I can know their motivation."

"People always hide what they really want and then express it in a more decent and more impressive way. But if they figure out what they really want, they can prescribe the right medicine."

"It is a friend who can make them return with satisfaction, it is an enemy who can make them defeated."

Chunyu Yue looked at Chunyu Jia in surprise. He suddenly realized that the people who had been by his side for many years could actually say this.

Chunyu Jia arched his body slightly and said sincerely: "Of course, the villain always respects Confucianism. The villain is just thinking about it for a while, master, you will always be the master of the villain."

Chunyu Yue smiled and said, "It seems that the theory of Huaiguzi is really interesting. I will also learn more about it in the future."

At this time, the scholars in the room came out in anger.

Chunyu Yue asked curiously: "Everyone, are you leaving?"

The Confucian scholars nodded and said, "We decided to fight with the exiled immortals until we die."

Chunyu Yue smiled: "If you discuss the battle, you will discuss the battle. As for seeking death, there is no need."

Chunyu Yue sent the Confucian scholars away, then ate something, and then lay on the low couch.

He suddenly felt very at ease.

After working hard for more than ten years, I wanted to let the Qin Dynasty govern the country with Confucianism, but I failed.

In fact, if Chunyu Yue changed Confucianism, reinterpreted it, catered to Your Majesty's thoughts, and turned into a false Confucianism named Confucius, it would be possible to succeed.

But he was unwilling to give up. So for the past ten years, he has been working hard on the wrong path and has been doing useless work.

Now that he had given up on this path, he suddenly felt relaxed.

Forget it, for nothing, just like what the exiled immortal said, time changes and worlds change, and nothing in the world is unchanging. Perhaps Confucianism should also change.

Chunyu Yue closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep lasted six hours.

When he woke up, he saw Chunyu Jia waiting anxiously outside the door.

Chunyu Yue asked strangely: "What happened?"

Chunyu Jia said: "Sir, it's not good. The Confucian scholars are really fighting with the exiled immortals."

Then, Chunyu Jia handed over a newspaper.

Chunyu Yue was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "These Confucian scholars are interesting. They actually know how to post their opinions in newspapers?"

Chunyu Jia said, "It was those reporters, and they didn't know what these people belonged to. Their noses were so savage. They heard that Confucian scholars came out of our mansion in groups of three or three, and they felt something was big, so they came over."

"So, all the condemnation of these Confucian scholars against the exiled immortals were recorded by reporters and immediately posted in the newspaper."

Chunyu Yue said, took the newspaper and looked at it, then shook his head slightly: "There is nothing, there is nothing, but he has a lot of passion, but he didn't say anything."

Chunyu Yue put down the newspaper with no interest, but unexpectedly, Chunyu Jia took out another newspaper.

Chunyu Yue said puzzledly: "I heard that Mr. Fu Yao's newspaper is a daily issue."

Chunyu Jia said: "Yes, it was originally a daily issue. But today one issue was added."

When Chunyu Yue looked at it, he found that the supplement was full of rebuttals from Zhou Qingchen and others.

They obviously learned Li Shui's philosophy and refuted the views of Confucian scholars one by one. And at the end of the rebuttal, they formally proposed that the knowledge of exiled immortals was called immortal learning.

These people plan to rank the immortals with Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, and Yin-Yang schools together, and enter the category of various schools of thought.

Chunyu Yue smiled: "This Huaiguzi has a lot of ambitions. Do you want to be famous in history?"

He sighed: "However, it is normal for Huaiguzi to be famous in history with its achievements. The field method and fertilizer alone are enough to make people admire him."

He asked Chunyu Jia: "Did those Confucian scholars forget this way? Didn't they refute Zhou Qingchen and others?"

Chunyu Jia said: "The Confucian scholars are naturally dissatisfied, but the reporters told him that it would be better to think about their opinions and send them to the newspaper tomorrow. Otherwise, if they say something hastily, they will be embarrassing if they are refuted."

So these Confucian scholars were thinking hard, wanting to quote the scriptures and refute Zhou Qingchen and others.

Chunyu Yue nodded.

Chunyu Jia asked, "Master, aren't we involved?"
