Wang Zhongyan looked at Xu Mu, nodded and said, "That's right."

He compiled the "Sustainable Six Classics" and various teaching aids, which are well known to everyone in Luoyang City.

Xu Mu cleared his throat and asked, "I have always been confused. I wonder if Mr. Wang can give me advice?"

Lu Chu was on the side, looking at the unmotivated little brother who finally had the desire to study, and showed a happy smile.

"I dare not give advice, please tell me." Wang Zhongyan was quite modest and said with a smile.

Things like this are encountered almost every day when you go out.

"Sir, since I have continued the Six Classics, I must have integrated Confucianism. I wonder if the situation is turbulent, the world is in chaos, and rebellions are everywhere. Where should my Confucianism go?"

Xu Mu asked a question in a general direction.

As soon as this question came out, Wang Zhongyan was stunned on the spot.

He looked at Xu Mu in surprise. To be honest, this problem was too big.

And... Xu Mu seemed to say it to his heart.

After completing the Six Classics and making a new development and interpretation of traditional Confucianism, he began to reflect on the disadvantages of Confucianism and began to think about the development direction of Confucianism.

Especially in troubled times.

If Confucianism does not develop well, it is very likely that it will be cut off from its inheritance.

Haven’t you seen where is the Mohist school that was either Confucianism or Mohism during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?

It is because we stick to the rules and do not know how to adapt to it that we will cut off.

silence.

The atmosphere was once in awkward.

Xu Mu was waiting for Wang Zhongyan's answer and said nothing.

Wang Zhongyan fell into thinking and did not speak.

The honest man Lu Chu had no idea of ​​livening the atmosphere. He watched the show casually, and he couldn't help but think.

About a quarter of an hour later, Wang Zhongyan spoke: "There is no more words: "If you cultivate yourself, you will be able to be united by your family, and then your country will be governed by your country, and then your country will be governed by your country. Confucianism is nothing more than the nine words of "cultivating yourself, managing your family, governing the country, and pacifying the world."

This is the best answer he thought since he reflected on Confucianism.

However……

Xu Mu shook his head and retorted: "In a chaotic world, when encountering swords and weapons on the road, Confucianism is not as good as martial arts as martial arts; the canal is open, merchants travel, Confucianism is not as profitable as merchants; the country is no longer a country, counties and states are in vain, Confucianism has become empty talk; the world is in chaos, rebellion is everywhere, Confucianism is not as good as military strategy and strategy to pacify the world."

Every word, every sentence, criticized Wang Zhongyan's answers.

Wang Zhongyan's face was pale, but he was not angry.

He understood that Xu Mu was right.

He had never been the arrogant person of a great Confucian scholar, and immediately bowed to Xu Mu and said, "I dare to ask where is the way out of Confucianism?"

Xu Mu thought to himself that he finally took the bait.

He showed a smile, and said the four famous sayings that Zhang Zai said in Guanzhong hundreds of years later.
