When Guo Wei heard that Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang had gone to pay tribute to Confucius, he immediately became interested. Liu Bang killed the snake and rebelled, established a foundation and founded the country of the Han Dynasty for 400 years.

Guo Wei was born in a humble family. If he could reach the level of Emperor Gaozu of Han, he would be able to wake up in a laugh in his dream.

Therefore, Guo Wei was serious and asked to follow the etiquette of Emperor Gaozu of Han to worship Confucius.

The emperor made a request, and of course the ministers had to do the same.

As a scholar in the court, Wang Pu was unwilling to let him go, but after searching, he only had one sentence from "Records of the Grand Historian".

"Emperor Gao passed by Lu, and the Tailao sacrificed Confucius."

Tailao is a sacrifice of three animals, pigs, cattle and sheep, with extremely high standards, highlighting Liu Bang's respect for Confucius. But this sentence made Guo Wei a little stunned.

Liu Bang passed by Lu, did he go to Qufu? He went to Confucius Temple, offered sacrifices, did he offer sacrifices, did he give rewards to Confucius' descendants, and did he thank the descendants of the Confucius family...

Guo Wei asked many key questions in a row. Wang Pu's knowledge was so great that he hesitated. Who knows these details?

At this time, Wei Renpu spoke. He did his homework in advance, searched the history books, and then said to Guo Wei: "Your Majesty, the original record of Emperor Gaozu of the Grand Historian does not record the sacrifice of Confucius."

"What?"

Guo Wei was shocked. Records of the Grand Historian were written in the dynasty of Emperor Wu. It was the time to abolish all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone. If Liu Bang really went to worship Confucius, he would give Emperor Wu of Han the best support for respecting Confucianism alone. Liu Che could say that Emperor Gaozu worshipped Confucius. I respect Confucianism, which is to imitate Emperor Gaozu.

If this is the case, the whole thing will be simple.

Emperor Wu of Han made a big fuss, how could he not write historical books?

But the problem is that there is no record of the original chronicle of Emperor Gaozu. It is just a short sentence written in "The Family of Confucius", which does not even have time, which is really suspicious!

Wang Pu is worthy of being a scholar. After a brief hesitation, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, according to the records of the Book of Han, this incident happened in November of the 12th year of Emperor Gaozu. He returned to Chang'an from Huainan and passed by Lu, and specially paid homage to Confucius."

Guo Wei immediately asked someone to look for it. It was indeed recorded in the Book of Han, and it seemed to be true.

But Wei Renpu was not in a hurry and presented evidence.

This time he took the original text of "The Original Annals of Emperor Gaozu", which did not record on it to commemorate Confucius. So what did Liu Bang do during this period?

"In October, Emperor Gaozu had attacked the Bu army and Bu left and ordered other generals to chase him."

In October, Liu Bang defeated Ying Bu first and beat him to flee.

Emperor Gaozu returned home, passed by Pei, and stayed. He set up a palace of Jiupei and summoned his old friends, and sent a hundred and twenty children in Pei to the song of teaching. After drinking, Emperor Gaozu hit the building and sang a poem by himself: "The wind rises and the clouds fly, and the power is overwhelming and returns to his hometown. How can he get a strong man to guard all directions!"

He ordered his sons to learn from him. Emperor Gaozu then danced, was sad, and cried several times. He said to his father and brother Pei, "The wandering son was sad in his hometown. Even though I am in Guanzhong, my soul is still happy to think about Pei after long live. Moreover, I have been punishing violent rebellious things from Pei, so I have the world. He regards Pei as my Tang Mu Township and restored the people, and has no choice in the past."

After winning a great victory, Liu Bang returned to his hometown Pei County and left behind the famous song of the wind. After more than ten days of banquet, Liu Bang was worried that the people in his hometown would be too burdened and wanted to leave. The people cried and asked, so Liu Bang stayed for another 3 days.

In other words, Liu Bang lived in Pei County for about half a month to 20 days.

During this period, Liu Bi, the Marquis of Pei, was appointed as the King of Wu.

The Han generals attacked the Bu army from north to south and south, and defeated them, and chased them and killed them in Poyang.

Fan Kuai's other soldiers were ordered to behead Chen Xi to the city.

After doing so many big things, Liu Bang returned to Chang'an in November.

During the battle of Yingbu, Liu Bang was shot and his injuries became more and more serious on the road. After the New Year, he destroyed King Lu Wan of Yan and established the famous White Horse Alliance!

Liu Bang's illness became more and more serious. Empress Lu welcomed a good doctor. The doctor came to see him. Emperor Gaozu asked the doctor and said, "The disease can be cured."

But Liu Bang cursed and said, "I used a commoner to carry a three-foot sword to capture the world. Is this not the destiny of heaven? My destiny is in the heaven, even though Bian Que is not good!" So he refused to treat the disease and gave him 50 kilograms of gold to stop him.

Liu Bang died in the next few months.

After reading the original chapter of Emperor Gaozu, especially in the last two years, Guo Wei lamented for a long time that it was really not easy for the emperor Liu Bang!

From the beginning of the rebellion against Qin, he fought with Xiang Yu, and then established the Han Dynasty. He worked tirelessly until his death, and worked hard for the empire and eradicated all the root causes of disaster.

Perhaps only in Pei County, when facing the elders of his hometown and chanting the song of the strong wind is Liu Bang's only time to relax... In a month, from Lu to Chang'an, he was still sick, unless Liu Bang shrank into an inch, otherwise it would be impossible.

After reading it, Guo Wei has confirmed that the sentence in "The Family of Confucius" should be fake, either Taishigong made a fake or filled in by later generations.

It is very likely that it was the time to study "Han Shu" and gave it to heaven, so I chose November to make the time look smooth, but it still couldn't stand the scrutiny.

It turned out that Liu Bang had never sacrificed for Confucius. If Liu Bang had sacrificed for Confucius and valued Confucianism so much, how could the Wen and Jing dynasties advocate Huang-Lao's learning and govern without doing anything!

Why did Emperor Wu of Han face such great resistance to respect Confucianism?

In a nutshell, later Confucian scholars blatantly tampered with history in order to gild their faces!

This kind of thing is not new. After all, in the era of hand-written bamboo slips, it is still easy to fill in and subtract a few words. The right to speak in culture is in the hands of a few people. As long as they can maintain a tacit understanding, they will not reveal the truth, and future generations can only make mistakes.

Looking at the debate between Wei Renpu and Wang Pu, Ye Hua remembered the Tao Te Ching 14, which was passed down from later generations, which wrote "Adhering to the way of the past to control the existence of the present. Being able to know the beginning of the past is called the Taoist scripture."

However, in the unearthed Han silk book "Laozi", it is written that "holding the way of the present and controlling the existence of the present. To know the ancient times, this is called the Taoist scripture."

Today and ancient times are just one word different, but Lao Tzu's meaning is completely different.

As we all know, Confucianism advocates the law of the previous kings, so naturally we must use the ancient ways to control the existence of the present, while Legalism emphasizes the law of the later kings, so we must use the present ways to manage the current problems.

After changing Lao Tzu's words by one word, I made Lao Tzu stand on the side of Confucianism and increase persuasion. This is the ability of Confucian scholars!

Because of Confucianism's "having many records", Ye Hua would rather believe that Liu Bang looked down on Confucius at all. He was busy drinking and singing in his hometown and enjoying the joy of returning home in glory, so that he would not run away to worship Confucius. He also offered three sacrifices to make a dream of spring and autumn!

Wang Pu was embarrassed, and he stared at Wei Renpu hesitantly, thinking that when did Wei's surname has increased his knowledge and could he catch himself off guard?

Not like he can do it!

Wang Pu kept drawing questions in his heart. He looked around and found Ye Hua, who had always been alive... Could it be this kid's idea?

He was a little anxious, but he was not old and heard that his knowledge was not very good. How did he find the loopholes?

Wang Pu shook his head, but he couldn't figure out who was on demand, which made him open up.

Anyway, the most important thing at the moment is to persuade His Majesty to worship Confucius.

"I think that even if Emperor Gaozu of Han may not go to pay tribute to his master, Your Majesty should go. The Master is the pioneer of scholars all over the world. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, he has been treated with courtesy in all dynasties. Although Li Siyuan, the Ming emperor of the former dynasty, respected Confucius. He once killed Kong Mo, who had ruined Confucius, and granted Kong Renyu, the orphan of the Kong family, the orphan of the Kong family, the chief clerk of Qufu County. This time, his Majesty was able to reward the Confucius family and clean up the hearts of scholars. He won many goals in one fell swoop. I beg Your Majesty to go there and not hesitate."

Wang Pu is a gentleman, and he can't help but speak with a angularity. According to his opinion, if Guo Wei doesn't go, he will be afraid that even Li Siyuan will be inferior.

In this way, Boss Guo's heart was much cooler like that.

"You guys go down first, let me think about it!"

He sent Wei Renpu and Wang Pu away, and Ye Hua also wanted to follow him, but Guo Wei called him.

"Champion Hou, follow me and go for a walk."

Ye Hua could only follow Guo Wei to the back garden. It was February now, the spring breeze was like a shear, and the spring was chilly. Guo Wei was wearing a thick fox fur and was walking silently.

The king and his ministers did not speak, and it took about a quarter of an hour before Guo Wei slowly said: "You said, should I go to worship Confucius?"

Ye Hua was very thoughtful, and no one knew better than him what consequences would bring about sacrifices to Confucius at this time... It was not only the Great Zhou Dynasty, nor the Song Dynasty, but even the next thousand years, they would pay the price for this decision, which was a bit heavy!

Even if you offend countless people, you have to say it out!

"Your Majesty founded the Great Zhou Dynasty and went to worship Confucius in person. Wouldn't it mean that Confucius is more noble than the emperor?"

Guo Wei pondered for a moment and sneered: "I am just a rough man. Confucius taught the people and made great contributions to the future. There is nothing wrong with me going to pay tribute!"

"Your Majesty!" Ye Hua was really anxious. "Your Majesty's every move is important. How many people will make a fuss about Your Majesty's actions!" Ye Hua leaned closer to Guo Wei and whispered: "Your Majesty, is it Confucius great or the emperor great? Although Confucius died for more than a thousand years, there are still so many scholars who regard themselves as disciples of Confucius and Mencius. In their hearts, is it important to be the ancestor or the emperor important!"

This was heartbreaking. Guo Wei's pupils contracted instantly, and the emperor's majesty burst out. He almost roared and asked: "Ye Hua, what do you think you should do?"
