    After all the ministers in the Wenhua Palace had finished their ceremony, they all stared at Zhu Youxiao sitting on the dragon chair like a cat seeing a mouse!

    Even though Zhu Youxiao has experienced life and death and has lived in two lives, seeing a bunch of unshaven old men staring at him with such eyes can't help but feel chills running down his spine!

    In order to avoid such embarrassment, Zhu Youxiao coughed lightly and said: "I believe that you have been looking forward to this Sutra Feast for a long time. However, the reason why I hold the Sutra Feast this time is not for you to give empty lectures, but for Liu.  Mr. Ge said that he has been studying the Analects for decades and finally gained something, so he wants to tell me and everyone what he has learned. Now let Mr. Liu Ge speak!"

    When the ministers heard this, they all looked at each other. These people were all people who studied poetry and books, and were very familiar with "The Analects of Confucius". They really couldn't imagine how Liu Yishen, a great scholar, could read the "Analects of Confucius".  What's new!

    In fact, when it comes to "The Analects", it is also a very legendary book. It was not written by Confucius itself, but was a book written by Confucius's disciples and his disciples who recorded the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples!

    At the beginning, the status of "The Analects of Confucius" in Confucian classics was not very high. Before the Song Dynasty, "The Analects of Confucius" was mostly learned by children. To put it bluntly, it was an enlightenment book. However, with the preferential treatment of scholars in the Song Dynasty and the emphasis on Confucianism,  , the status of "The Analects" also gradually improved, and was finally designated as one of the Four Books by Zhu Xi, along with "The Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "Mencius". It is a must-read for future generations of Confucian scholars, and it is an extremely important book!

    Among them, the most legendary allusion to "The Analects of Confucius" is the sentence of Zhao Pu, the famous prime minister in the early Song Dynasty, "Half of the Analects of Confucius will conquer the world, and half of the Analects of Confucius will rule the world!"

    However, whether Prime Minister Zhao said this sentence or not cannot be verified in official history, because this sentence did not appear in the Northern Song Dynasty or even before the death of Zhu Xi in the Southern Song Dynasty. The real time it appeared was twenty or thirty years after Zhu Xi's death.  Year!

    There are roughly three sources for it. One is Lin Jun's "On the Origin of Ancient and Modern Times". There is a record about Zhao Pu in it. It is said that Zhao Pu was a great minister of his generation and conquered east and west without success. Someone asked him how he learned his skills.  , Zhao Pu said that I had never studied anything except "The Analects of Confucius"!

    Zhao Pu said this, "I will use half of the twenty chapters of the Analects to help Taizu rule the world!"

    The second source is "Helin Jade Dew" written by Luo Dajing, who was a contemporary of Lin Jun, which records Du Fu's poems. There is a line that "the child's learning stops at the Analects, and the older child ends with the merchants."

    The meaning of this poem is very obvious. The Analects of Confucius was a children's book in the Tang Dynasty, but Zhao Pu said that he had only studied the Analects of Confucius, and Zhao Pu was very capable. He assisted Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, to conquer the world, so the Song Dynasty  Taizong Zhao Guangyi asked Zhao Pu about this matter!

    Zhao Pu's answer was, "I have known nothing in my life, but this is true. In the past, I used my half-assistant, Taizu, to rule the world, and now I want to use my half-assistant, Your Majesty, to achieve peace."

    The third source is this line in the drama "Meeting the Emperor" written by Gao Wenxiu of the Yuan Dynasty!

    but!

    Again, there is no such thing said by Zhao Pu in the official history, and history has proved that although "The Analects" is a good book for economic management, it has excellent guidance for people's moral cultivation and how to deal with others.  It works, but it is impossible to say that one can conquer and rule the world with such a book!

    Therefore, the reason why this sentence became popular in later generations is largely because during the Yuan Dynasty, Confucian scholars were classified as the ninth class of people, which is commonly known as the Nine Confucians and Ten Beggars. At the same time, this is also the origin of the smelly old nine!

    Therefore, there is such a shocking saying: "Half of the Analects of Confucius conquers the world, and half of the Analects of Confucius rules the world."

    You will be praised higher and further by the Confucian scholars!

    Under the Ming Dynasty's imperial examination system that only tested the Four Books and Five Classics to select scholars, the Analects, as the foundation of Confucianism, was well read by all scholars. It can be said that no scholar in the Ming Dynasty had copied dozens of them.  After reading "The Analects of Confucius", I am afraid that even a child will not be able to pass the exam.

    It is also in this environment that all scholars are too familiar with "The Analects of Confucius" and have no doubts about its content and annotations. But today the little emperor said that Liu Yishen has a new understanding of "The Analects of Confucius"  This understanding is an extremely important thing for scholars, and it also cheers up everyone!

    Of course, there are also two people here, Fang Congzhe and Zhang Weixian, who know where Liu Yishen¡¯s idea came from, so they both look at their noses and mouths, and the old gods are standing there, as if what will happen next  Everything has nothing to do with them!

    Liu Yishen, however, solemnly left the class and stood up. He first saluted Zhu Youxiao, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty.After reading "The Analects of Confucius" for a long time, I found that the meaning of many chapters had been misinterpreted or misunderstood by later generations, so that the existing annotations of "The Analects of Confucius" had errors and omissions. Therefore, I boldly checked the doubts and filled in the gaps and re-annotated the "Analects of Confucius". I just didn't know  If there are any errors in it, please correct me with your Majesty and colleagues!  "

    As soon as Liu Yishen said these words, the whole Wenhua Palace was like a boiling pot. Originally, these people thought that Liu Yishen just had a new understanding of "The Analects of Confucius", but no one expected that he actually wanted to  Re-annotating the Analects of Confucius can be said to be a huge impact on all readers!

    If Liu Yishen's annotation is correct, it means to a large extent that these civil servants present, as well as many civil servants before them, have learned wrong things. Just imagine, all the high school Tong Xiucai, Juren,  It is possible for Jinshi to pass the examination based on wrong arguments. It is scary to think about this kind of thing.

    "Mr. Liu Ge!" Yang Lian, the censor of Zuodu, who had just been in prison and rested at home for a few days, came out and said, "I wonder which chapters of the Analects you are re-annotating?"

    Liu Yishen pondered for a moment and said: "I have re-annotated the entire Analects of Confucius!"

    Hiss¡ª¡ª

    There was another gasp in the Wenhua Hall. No one thought that Liu Yishen would be so bold as to re-annotate the entire "Analects of Confucius". This is not only an extremely large project, but also requires an extremely huge amount of work.  Courage!

    However, Liu Yishen was sneering in his heart at this time. He really felt that these bumpkins who had never seen the world were very pitiful, because they had not seen the manuscript that was handed over to him by Lao Wang An personally, which was filled with tens of thousands of words.  , analyzed "The Analects" thoroughly!

    And that kind of novel and unique analysis, although it seems a bit deviant at first glance, but after a closer look, a great scholar like Liu Yishen couldn't help but admire it, and such a manuscript came from this  The hand of the little emperor who was looking at everyone with a smile!

    Knowing that he had the little emperor as his backer, Liu Yishen was naturally confident. He glanced at the crowd and said: "You are all people who have read poetry and books. Didn't you find some inconsistencies in some chapters when you read "The Analects of Confucius"?  ? Don¡¯t you realize that when what you and I do goes against the Confucian classics, you and I will take quotations from the classics out of context, only take out the parts that are beneficial to ourselves, and forget about the parts that are detrimental to us? What I do is  Disciples of the saint have discovered that if these are not corrected and the errors are not corrected, it will really be difficult to sleep and eat, so I boldly re-annotated the Analects of Confucius. If there are any mistakes, please feel free to enlighten me!"

    Say it!

    Liu Yishui bowed to the ground and gave a salute to everyone present!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
