Chapter 171 Two Rivers Four》

After singing and dancing, Zheng Ziwen called Tang Liyan when he delivered another speech. For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on this young and overly "Mr. Farewell to Love".

"Scholars must be broad-minded and resolute, and have a long way to go. Isn't it too heavy to be kind as their responsibilities? Isn't it too far after death?" Tang Li's words also began in the "Analects of Confucius". He knew that Zheng Ziwen was solemnly promoting himself to the Northland Shilin. His words were a bit slow, "Scholars must be strong and persevering, because they have heavy burdens and a long way to go. Zeng Zi's teachings more than a thousand years ago are still thoughtful when reading today."

Tang Li did not give me detailed lectures. In front of many scholars, his words deliberately avoided his status as the top scholar, but instead delivered a speech to the students as a student of the Feng Envoy, "There are three responsibilities of scholars: self-cultivation, family management, and country governance; students are still in Taoism, so this is not mentioned before. But does this mean that you should only cultivate yourself?" With a glance around the field of view for a week, Tang Li shook his head gently and said, "Wrong, if you have this idea, it is a big mistake and a special mistake. According to my foolish opinion, the most important thing for students to do now is not to 'cultivate yourself', but to manage the family!"

When Tang Li said this, not only the Taoist students in the middle of the field, but also Zheweng and others in the curtain were also a little surprised, not knowing where Tang Li said this.

Because Confucian scholars of the times have been constantly embracing the way of "advance and retreat" since they received Confucian education. "If a country has the way, you will be in charge; if a country has no way, you can be curled and remembered", "The country has no way. Riding on the bark to float in the sea", "If you use it, you will do it; if you leave it, you will hide it." These sentences in the Analects of Confucius all teach later generations the simplest principle of dealing with things. If a country has the way, you can come out to do things and "advance" to fulfill your ambition to govern the country and pacify the world; if this is not the case,

"There are three ways of family. If the big one is, it can be a country; if the middle one is a village; if the low one is a family, it can be a family. The Master pursues benevolence throughout his life, and wants to govern the world with benevolence and virtue, and wants to transform the world with benevolence and virtue. The so-called teacher for one day, a father for life, and a son for the so-called father's business and son for the sake of all students. From the moment he picked up the "Analects of Confucius", it means that he has taken over the unfinished cause of the Master's desire to transform the world with benevolence and virtue! But how did our scholars do when facing this unavoidable talent and responsibility?" At this point, Tang Li's voice was a bit sad: "In today's world, the Confucian school is not strong. Every time I think about it, it will make people feel heartbroken. However, when thinking about the reasons, one is caused by the worldly style, and the more important thing is our fault?"

The "responsibility" just now made the students excited, but Tang Li immediately said that Confucianism was in decline, which made the students feel sad and angry. As for the last question, the eyes of the audience were even attracted to him.

"The land of the Two Rivers is outstanding and powerful. How many Confucian sages have been nurtured over the past thousands of years, but what is born in the Two Rivers is heartbreaking."      Slightly looked up into the distance.    The voice of Tang Li who turned around after a moment was extremely sad: "In this land of raising saints, the name of the 'false saint' is now spread all over the world.    This blasphemy against the Master, besides the sins of the saints, is not only the saints of the saints.

How can we, the scholars who have not been able to defend the title of the Supreme Master to the death, be innocent? Recently, a monk in the Liangqing Temple of the Pure Land Sect secretly dug a tunnel to lead to the quiet room of the sutra hall, insulting women, and other kinds of ugly deeds. This is certainly the fault of a small group of Buddhists, but our scholars have failed to fulfill the duty of transforming the world with benevolence and virtue, causing this ugly deeds in the local area. How can we be innocent?" It feels really good to take the lead in occupying the commanding heights of morality.

The Tang Dynasty had an open culture and advocated that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism could not contradict each other. While Buddhism and Taoism were in its prime, Confucianism lost its respect in the Han Dynasty and was far from the glory of the past. The "confucianism" that Tang Li said was the pain point in the hearts of these great scholars. The facts listed later and the subsequent crimes made these old scholars both sad and sad. Therefore, Tang Li's words had just finished, and Zheweng and Suweng started, and the others were already filled with grief.

Whether in the Tang Dynasty or later generations, the sacred duties and the sins caused by this responsibility are undoubtedly the most arousing the students' enthusiasm. Confucianism has fallen into depravity and is guilty of its own sins, and these senior scholars in the tent looked so sad that they felt sorry for their ancestors. All of this was enough to arouse all the dissatisfaction and enthusiasm in their hearts. Along with the sorrow of the old Confucian school, many of these young students were already very sad. Their pain and anger were naturally the Pure Land Sect that dared to blaspheme the most sage and did all kinds of ugly deeds.

There was a lot of sadness in the Hedong Dao Study Garden. After pondering for a long time, Tang Li continued to say: "Confucianism has declined, but our Confucian scholars must not sink. At this time of trepidation, we need to be excited and excited. The way to strive is to "manage the family". After a big circle, Tang Li's words returned to the theme, "Governing the country and pacifying the world is the future, and managing one family is the only thing to do. Now the family we have to be together should be relatives and villages. If students can bravely shoulder the important task of educating the village with benevolence and virtue, why worry about the customs of one village and one village are not pure, and the customs of one village are as pure as rural areas.

, Then a county is pure; a county is pure and a state is pure and a state is pure and a state is pure and a state is pure and a state is pure and a state is pure and a state is pure and a state is pure and good. In this way, not only does the Master’s wishes be fulfilled for a thousand years, but why worry about the rebirth of the ugly journey in Liangqing Temple? Why worry about my Confucian school not being able to revive?" At this point, Tang Li concluded with the opening words: "Scholars must be broad-minded and resolute, and have a long way to go. Is it not too heavy to be kind as their own responsibility? Isn’t it not too far away after death?" After these words were dyed with a strong idealistic color, they clearly felt many differences to everyone at this time.

After Tang Li finished his speech, there was silence in the venue for a long time. When watching the wind made the adults feel anxious, he saw that Zheweng and Suweng in the Wei Banner actually led the other great scholars to stand up and bow to him at the same time. The students outside the Wei Banner even stood up and bowed deeply while bowing. On the faces of these young students, Tang Li not only saw the generosity of "the heavenly general is here", but even faintly felt the tragic heroism of the favoritism.

The meeting of staying in the garden ended in such a tragic atmosphere. Because it took a long time, the great scholars couldn't bear the fatigue and went back to their place to rest after the meeting. Tang Ligang sent Zhewen to the entrance of the observation envoy's mansion, but was called to the study room by Zheng Ziwen.

"Well said it well, the virtuous son-in-law is really good today." In the study, Zheng Ziwen praised Tang Li without hesitation. After praising the word "good" twice, the Hedongdao observation made the adult unable to help but recite softly: "Scholars must be broad-minded and resolute, and have a long way to go..."

When Zheng Observer knew his own affairs, Tang Li was very uncomfortable with it. "The son-in-law just said a few words of nonsense and dared not be the father-in-law and praised him like this."

"What a touching feeling," Zheng Ziwen slapped the desk beside him. "What we took is not your words, but this heart."

"us?".

"You Daozheweng, isn't it a coincidence for Weng Su to come here?" Zheng Ziwen waved his hand to signal to Tang Li, "I thought that the son-in-law was idle and wild-he was also a scattered person for everything. Today, I realized that those thoughts before were really wrong! In this way, we have spared more slap in persuasion. Now the Confucian Sect is in decline. How can a son-in-law sit down and watch? Come, let's sit down and talk in detail."

After hearing Zheng Ziwen say this, Tang Li felt something was wrong. As the topic deepened, his feeling was finally confirmed.          The rise and fall of the church family had too much to do with the government.                                                                                                                                                                                                                               �

Seeing Li Linfu dying. Among the two newly formed forces in the court, both Li Fudao and Yang Yuzhao participated in the suppression of the prince, which means that the prince's prospects are still not good. Although the aristocratic family will not completely abandon the prince, the original intention of finding another spokesperson became more and more urgent. The top scholar, who was deeply favored by His Majesty and the Empress, told Li Fu and Yang Yuzhaoyuan

Tang Li, who was extremely deep and had the identity of Zheng's son-in-law, entered the vision of these Confucian families in the Two Rivers. He used to be concerned about Li Linfu and did not dare to expose this piece of paper rashly. Now it is only a matter of time before Li Linfu died. Tang Li arrived at the Two Rivers at this time, which made all this become natural. As early as the beginning of his departure, the three families in the Two Rivers had already planned, so it was so coincidental that Zheweng and Su Weng came.

After hearing all this, Tang Li really felt that he could not lose his rice. His original idea and the purpose of his speech today were to "kidnapping" the Confucian family in the Two Rivers to launch a propaganda war against Fatty An, breaking his false holy name, and then eliminating his influence among the people. Unexpectedly, he was now "kidnapping" by these families and becoming the spokesperson for their interests.

After saying that generous speech, he was facing his father-in-law again. Tang Li couldn't say anything if he refused, but if he wanted to agree, he would inevitably feel a little frustrated. After pondering for a while, he finally said: "I dare not refuse the elder's life, but such a big burden is pressed down. I'm afraid that my son-in-law can't bear it. I dare to ask my father-in-law, if the son-in-law agrees to this matter, what support can the Lianghe family give?"

Zheng Ziwen obviously knew that his son-in-law was not a landlord who was willing to suffer losses, so he was not surprised by his violation of the words "a gentleman does not speak of profit."

"I, the Confucian family of Lianghe has been passed down for hundreds of years, isn't it false?" When he said this, Zheng Ziwen, who was always humble, couldn't help but show a proud look in his tone. "No need to say anything about the two rivers, even in the capital, there are many children of my aristocratic family. If you are in the court, these people will naturally be in the same spirit as you. With this one, the son-in-law has benefited a lot. As for the others, if you have something to ask for, my aristocratic family of Lianghe will definitely do your best to help. This is the original words of Zheweng and Suweng. You should be relieved by such a virtuous son-in-law!"

"This is almost the same." After hearing such huge words, Tang Li finally smiled and let out a sigh. He knew better than anyone else the huge power represented by this promise.

After the meeting at the Garden, Tang Li had to have banquets or be invited to attend the gatherings of famous scholars and scholars, chanting poems and paintings every day, and their lives were leisurely and contentment. In Jinyang and even the entire Hedong Road, there was a trend towards the Pure Land Sect that was constantly leaching.

First, some tenants who rented incense fields in Pure Land Sect temples began to sue these temples for the various injustice and exploitation of collecting rented grain, which caused public discussions. Then, the various ugly behaviors born in Pure Land Sect temples were exposed one after another, which caused a lotus speech. Again, the Buddhist sects of Hedongdao seem to have opened their own halls and preached one after another. No matter how these temples interpret the lotus, the root node is to refute the irrationality of the Pure Land Sect’s doctrine of “Reciting Buddha’s name and reciting ten times in a row”. In short, it is to tell those Buddhist believers that the so-called Pure Land Sect’s saying that one word of Buddha can escape after death.

The saying of the six realms of reincarnation is false and unreliable. For the Pure Land Sect, which is struggling to support, the seven sects are opening up and giving the great preaching everywhere, which is simply a fireworks cut off from the cauldron. Although they tried their best to defend themselves, how could they resist the attack of the seven sects? Those believers learned that their decades of practice were doing useless work. Thinking about the money and food they had saved money and donated to the temple every year, they immediately burst into their hearts with anger after being deceived. And the last straw that completely overwhelmed the Pure Land Sect were the great scholars in the countryside.

Although people usually live in study rooms and do not show up often, they occupy the local moral high ground. They become well-deserved public opinion guides with their own poetry and books and the good reputation they have accumulated over the years. When these powerful scholars who have always appeared on the spot criticize the Pure Land Sect for blaspheming the supreme sages and destroying local customs, the simple people stood by them almost without any hesitation. Although most of them do not understand the words quoted from the scriptures, they worship and respect for knowledge.

The trust of the person in front of him is enough to make them believe in what they cannot understand. In short, since the monks of the Pure Land Sect can do so many things that both people and gods are angry, and other eminent monks and masters also say that their teachings are deceptive. Now even the respected scholars around them say that they are not good things, then the Pure Land Sect will definitely not be good things. The atmosphere of anger is brewing and fermenting, and it is almost half a month. The Pure Land Sect, which was originally the most powerful in Hedongdao, has changed from being admired by thousands of people to a rat crossing the street, and almost everyone says it can be killed.

This storm against the Pure Land Sect was gradually brewing, and eventually affected the leisurely viewing of the wind.
