In the autumn of the third year of Taiping, it is destined to be Become an unquiet autumn. ??The Shandong counter-insurgency war that originally attracted the attention of the world was suddenly ignored. Except for the generals of both sides who were preparing for the war, everyone else turned their attention to Yizhou, an ancient tomb that had just been excavated. This ancient tomb can cause such a big reaction, naturally because something unique is found in it. Since Cai Yong's first briefing was sent to Luoyang, the utensils unearthed from this ancient tomb have attracted the attention of countless people. A large number of erudite people or those who thought they were erudite quoted scriptures and put forward various speculations about the ritual vessels that were very different from those of the Central Plains, but no one could make a convincing conclusion. ??Controversy is inevitable, and things that are controversial often tend to become the focus. Because of political discussions, Luoyang has gathered a lot of virtuous writers. They have been discussing politics all day long, and they are already a little tired. After all, there are too many taboo topics in politics, and not everyone dares to speak out. Suddenly there is such a new topic, and you can talk about it without any scruples. Guess, nature is more attractive than politics. At the beginning, this was just a casual chat after dinner. Gradually, this topic went beyond discussing politics and became mainstream. As more and more briefings reached Luoyang, more incomprehensible things appeared in front of people, and many people could not sit still. Some no longer attend political discussions, but instead find ways to go to Dongguan to check information and receive briefings immediately. Some simply pack their bags and set off for Yizhou to conduct on-the-spot inspections. Situ Yang Biao was already confused by the noise from these Confucian scholars. He heard that someone was willing to go to Yizhou. If he doesn't ask for anything, he will let it go. Letting these guys with nothing to do but a sharp mouth rush to Yizhou not only reduces the unrest in Luoyang, but also alleviates the food supply difficulties of Situ Mansion. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Even Xun Yu rubbed his forehead and celebrated. during this time. He was also tortured a lot by these Confucian scholars. Among them is Kong Rong. In terms of sharp rhetoric, Kong Rong may not be as good as Mi Heng, but in terms of profound knowledge, Mi Heng is far behind Kong Rong. If we compare swordsmen, Mi Heng's sword is slanted and aggressive, while Kong Rong's heavy sword has no edge and can hit without any gaps. In this era, the inheritance of knowledge is not universal. The quality of one's level depends on one's knowledge: whether one has seen much and whether one has extraordinary knowledge. Among the two, the latter is based on seeing. It is said that only by seeing much can one have broad knowledge. The reason why Xun Yu has outstanding knowledge is that he can see many books that many people cannot see and know more truths. In this regard, Kong Rong is not inferior to him at all. The classics collected by the Kong family may not be as diverse as those collected by Xun Yu. However, in the accumulation of Confucian classics, there is a lot of information that Xun Yu had not seen. As a direct descendant of Confucius. The heritage of the Kong family is certainly not comparable to that of ordinary families. In addition to knowledge, there is another reason for Xun Yu's lack of confidence: whether it is family background or personal reputation, Kong Rong is somewhat better than him. Whether it is knowledge or literary talent, Kong Rong has obvious advantages. In addition to practice - Xun Yu is not a rough man like Liu Bian who likes to take action. Let him and Kong Rong shake their fists and argue with each other with force. He couldn't do it. After Kong Rong left Luoyang, Xun Yu let out a sigh of relief, and then felt a little gloating about his misfortune. Kong Rong went to Yizhou via Chang'an. With his temper, he would inevitably have to compete with Liu Bian. He is the same as Mi Heng. He came from Beihai not to discuss politics, but to argue with Liu. Mi Heng went all the way to Yizhou for this reason. Kong Rong followed him, and there was no reason to pass the city gate without entering. ?¡ ?Lishan. Liu Bian stood on the ancient beacon tower and looked at the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang in the distance. The setting sun has set a golden edge on the tall imperial mausoleum, and the mounds of earth covered with pines and cypresses are obviously more profound against the setting sun. The sunset on the horizon is like a raging fire, especially gorgeous. A big eagle is hovering in the sky, leisurely and contented. Through the eyes of the big eagle, Liu Bian had a panoramic view of the situation within a radius of ten miles, and was shocked. In his previous life, he had been to Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum and visited the so-called eighth wonder of the world - the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum. Although Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum had not yet been excavated at that time, he had done a lot of exploration and knew that there was a miniature version of the Great Qin Empire hidden under this land. . He didn't know if there were any classics before the Qin Dynasty, but the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum at this time was closer to the date of completion, the seal was higher, and it was closer to a square shape. In other words, the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum at this time was more like a pyramid, but not as big and not as steep. However, even in Egypt, not all pyramids are as big or as steep as the Pyramid of Khufu. If we relax some standards, it would not be too outrageous to call the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang the Pyramid of the East Does the Phoenix bloodline and civilization really come from the West? Although Liu Bian thinks this conclusion is too incredible, he cannot completely deny it. He knew very well that there was a terracotta warrior and horse that was incompatible with Eastern civilization buried under this land. Just like the statues of Danhan Mountain, the artistic style of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses is like Greek sculptures placed in the wrong place. It is unprecedented in the history of Chinese art and has no successor. It is obviously very abrupt. "Your Majesty, have you thought about it?" Cai Yan asked enthusiastically. The tomb in Guanghan caused a big commotion. If this was not enough, she encouraged Liu Bian to excavate the tomb of Qin Shihuang. Although the ancient tomb in Guanghan is shocking, it has a very serious problem: no writing has been found yet. Without words, there would be no clear records, and it would be difficult to reach a clear conclusion on many issues. The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is different. There must be many classics hidden in it, and they are not that far apart. As long as you are familiar with ancient characters, you can resolve many disputes. For Cai Yan, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was obviously more attractive than the ancient tombs in Guanghan. "This matter cannot be rushed." Liu Bian smiled and shook his head: "We are not Xiang Yu. Digging tombs is not to steal money, but to solve unresolved academic problems. There are no books in the ancient tomb in Guanghan. Good thing. Once a tomb that has been sealed for so long is opened, all the books may be turned into ashes in an instant. Until a solution is found, even if you find the ancient books in Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, you won't be able to read them. "Is there such a thing?" Cai Yan opened his eyes. "Do I need to lie to you?" Liu Bian shook his head helplessly: "Really, believe me." "Your Majesty, how do you know these things?" Cai Yan asked curiously: "Have you ever robbed a tomb?" "What nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Bian was annoyed. Knocked on Cai Yan's forehead: "What are you thinking about in your little head all day long? When have you ever seen me rob a tomb?" Cai Yan touched his forehead, chuckled, rolled his eyes, and was planning to Just a few more words of advice and someone will come to report. Kong Rong asked for an audience. Liu Bian was surprised. Wasn't Kong Rong discussing politics in Luoyang? Why did he suddenly come to Chang'an? He looked at Cai Yan, who was also confused. Liu Bian thought for a while and asked Cai Yan and others to get out of the way first, and asked someone to invite Kong Rong up. After a while, Kong Rong strode up. He is about eight feet tall. Although he is a scholar, he has a handsome appearance. The instrument is majestic, like a giant sword, inviolable. "Kong Qing is so charming. No wonder you Zhengping is so fond of Kong Qing." Kong Rong smiled slightly: "I am very relieved to know that your majesty thinks so highly of you Heng. I heard that your majesty was carving stones to discuss Taoism while defending the pass, and it was praised all over the world. "I am not talented, and if there is something unclear, please ask your Majesty for advice." Liu Bian raised his eyebrows. Understand the purpose of Kong Rong's visit. This means that those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come. Come and play at the restaurant. He smiled slightly: "I heard that Kong Qing was fighting with the Confucian scholars in Luoyang, and he had few opponents. Why is it that Kong Qing, a lonely expert, comes to Chang'an to challenge?" Kong Rong smiled without saying a word, with a hint of arrogance in his calmness, and was polite and thoughtful. humble. There is a strong intention to fight against Liu Bian. Liu Bian waved his sleeves, turned around, and said calmly: "It's a pity, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Kong Qing." Kong Rong was stunned for a moment, his face a little unhappy. "Your Majesty disdains talking to ministers?" "No. Kong Qing is a famous person in the world. It is the long-cherished wish of many people to be able to talk to Kong Qing. However, Kong Qing must know that I am not a Confucian, and I have always talked about empty talk that harms the country. Confucian scholars disdain to comment, so" Kong Rong looked at Liu Bian, who was smiling but not smiling, and understood what he meant. This is not avoiding fighting, this is simply provoking. What do you mean by a Confucian who only talks nonsense and harms the country? The way of the Holy King is the crystallization of the wisdom of Confucianism for thousands of years. How come it has become empty talk? "After hearing your Majesty's words, it seems that there is a lot of prejudice against Confucianists. I am not talented. I am willing to discuss something with your Majesty." Kong Ronggong held his hand, and his fighting spirit became more intense. "What is there to discuss about this kind of subjugation of the country?" Liu Bian frowned, a little impatient. "If Kong Qing is really interested in learning, why don't we talk about practical learning instead of talking about useless things?" Kong Rong's eyes twitched and he almost jumped with anger. It is already too much to say that Confucianism is harming the country with empty talk, but now it has become Benjili's claim that Confucianism and Taoism are the way to subjugate the country. If he does not understand this truth clearly, how can he, a descendant of the Confucius family, have the face to stand in the world? There is no longer a trace of smile on Kong Rong's face, even if it is a courtesy. He protested: "May I ask your majesty, how can Confucianism and Taoism be called together with the way of subjugating a country?" "Well, I dare ask Kong Qing, among all the countries under the rule of Emperor Zhou, which country has the most prosperous Confucianism?" Kong Rong said proudly: " Of course it is the State of Lu. "Among the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, is there the State of Lu?" Kong Rong was speechless. "Among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, is there the State of Lu?" "Well During the Warring States Period, although the State of Lu was not very powerful, the State of Qi was a big country in the East, and Qi and Lu were both called together, and they were both places where Confucianism was prevalent." "Okay. , Even if Qi is also a Confucian country, but Qi has half of the world, wouldn't it be destroyed by Qin?" Liu Bian glanced sideways at Kong Rong and pointed to the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum in the distance. "Master traveled all over the world, but did not enter Qin. But it was Qin that finally unified the world. I can't help but wonder whether Qi and Lu died precisely because of Confucianism, and Qin unified the world precisely because Master never entered Qin? " "Your Majesty, how can you say that" Liu Bian interrupted Kong Rong unceremoniously. "My knowledge is shallow, so I will inevitably have misunderstandings. How about this, please Kong Qing tell me, since the Master founded Confucianism, which country has prospered because of Confucianism?" Kong Rong's face turned red, and he was speechless.
