Chapter 68: Office Request for Book
In the palace.
Luo Yan told Luo Ci about the sensation caused by Li Er: "Father, the sensation caused by Duke Boyang is truly unprecedented."
Luo Ci smiled while lying on the bed: "In the academy, reason comes first. If it weren't in the academy, Lord Boyang would have refuted Luo Yu as soon as he opened his mouth, and I'm afraid he would have been harmed by the villain directly."
Knowledge is power. The struggle for power is bloody and cruel. Even a king can be assassinated, let alone a wise man?
The Luo National Academy provided protection for these scholars, allowing them to speak freely. Even if they refuted the classics passed down by their ancestors, as long as what they said made sense, not only would they not object, but they would also listen to their opinions and make corrections.
As for the Su Wang.
Su Wang himself once said that the only constant between heaven and earth is change, and this idea is reflected in all his writings.
The two were chatting when suddenly a waiter said outside the door, "Your Majesty, Crown Prince, Doctor Qingyi, Doctor Fujie, Doctor Kangyun, and Doctor Yulin want to see you."
These four people are the backbone of the Luo Kingdom today, and are relatively outstanding children of the royal family. The four of them walked into the room, each wearing a wide robe with large sleeves, with a dashing figure and extraordinary handsomeness. The four of them bowed and saluted, saying: "My king, I wish you good health! May the prince be well."
Luo Ci sat up and returned the greeting, "I am fine, please take a seat."
Luo Yan asked, "Four brothers, are you here for something important?"
These four people are from the same generation as Luo Yan. There are only so many people in the Luo royal family, so the issue of seniority is easy to solve.
The four of them looked at each other, and Luo Qingyi said, "Your Majesty, for the past five hundred years, the training of the royal family's children has been carried out in a systematic way. Whether they are beautiful jades with excellent qualifications or mediocre stones, they can always show their best. This must be attributed to the amazing wisdom of our ancestors, which has led to the prosperity of the Luo Kingdom's royal family for the past five hundred years."
The six people in the palace all had a hint of pride on their faces. Over the past five hundred years, the potential of the children of the Luo royal family has been basically tapped out. This can only be attributed to a good education method.
To sum it up, it can actually be summed up in twelve words: "inculcation of classics, teaching in accordance with students' aptitude, and unity of knowledge and practice."
The children of the royal family of Luo State first studied various classics that were not passed on to outsiders from their childhood to determine the direction of their talents.
Then we start preparing practical exercises for them to practice. In the process, we will impart to them the insights of their ancestors, and then the most critical step is to hone their moral character.
The children of royal families may not be saints, but they can definitely be called wise men. The six of them, including Luo Ci and Luo Yan, are no strangers to all the grassroots matters.
They are all very good at farming, so they love the people.
They could eat the best of all land and sea delicacies, and could even swallow the slop that slaves ate without batting an eyelid.
He likes beautiful clothes, but doesn't care about tattered clothes.
They have all been trained in honor and disgrace, and have been cursed and insulted by countless people until they can remain calm, so they can listen to advice.
They have seen the horrors of battlefields, know the cruelty of war, and have seen the sorrow of the homes of the dead, so they are cautious about war.
It takes twenty years to train an outstanding royal child and requires countless resources to be invested.
This is the key to the prosperity of Luo State, but the most important thing is those books full of wisdom.
Luo Qingyi added: “Your Majesty, the beauty of the royal family is known to everyone.
But there are four of us and one soldier, and our lineage will become a public clan, and we will no longer be able to listen to the teachings of the sages.
The methods of educating children can be learned, but the classics that contain countless wisdom can never be obtained.
Lord Boyang is a sage, his thoughts are truly magnificent, and somewhat different from what Lord Ming wrote.
The king recorded the conversation in the academy some time ago, and a few of us wanted to make a copy to keep as a family heritage.
Please have mercy, my Lord."
Luo Ci and Luo Yan looked at each other, somewhat surprised that this would be the reason.
These four people are the last generation of their lineage. Basically, at this point, having lost the protection of King Su, they all want to leave some heritage for their descendants.
After all, only those who have a collection of books at home and can receive education can be called aristocrats. The situation in Luo State is still relatively good. Now many royal families in other countries do not have a large collection of books. If they are not careful, they will become commoners and it will be difficult to turn over.
They wanted to learn how the government raised its children, but the most valuable thing in the government was knowledge.
No matter what talents they are good at, no matter what confusions they have, the office can find the corresponding information to answer their questions.
The appearance of Li Er brought new truths, and the truths he expounded were so exquisite, but only had five thousand words, which could be completely recorded on precious cloth, which made them very excited.
First write down the five thousand words, and then slowly write down the notes on bamboo slips. As long as you have these books at home, even if you are in trouble for a while, there will be a day when you can turn things around.
In response to the four people's thoughts, Luo Ci smiled and said, "As an ancestor, is there anything wrong with wanting to leave a legacy for future generations? This was my past negligence.
It is quite reasonable that you want books. You have made outstanding contributions and are children of a royal family, so you should be given some books.
But you don't need to be too anxious. Lord Boyang became a saint in the academy and became famous among the nations.
I'm afraid that all the frustrated scholars in various countries will come to the academy to publicize their own strategies for governing the country.
At that time, I will allow you to send people to record and guard the academy to absorb the essence of wisdom therein.
However, the most important thing is to let family members participate in it, and even write their own books and innovate.
If descendants prosper, will the clan decline?
The public office also needs the support of the royal family. Only when the royal family prospers can the public office survive!"
They saw that Luo Ci was not only willing to give them the copy of "Tao Te Ching", but also allowed them to enter the academy to record.
Several people were inexplicably excited, and they bowed and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty.
We really cannot repay your kindness, we are only willing to protect the public office for generations to come and safeguard the inheritance of the Su King."
When the academy was founded, it had two major purposes. The first was to train talents for the State of Luo, and the second was to strengthen the foundation of the royal family.
So this was a forbidden delicacy of the office, and now they are willing to release it. How could this not be a huge surprise?
After the four of them left, Luo Yan sighed, "Father, has the situation become so chaotic? Should we speed up the harvest?"
Luo Ci leaned on the couch and said in a deep voice: “There will be more and more great sages like Lord Boyang, which means that people of insight think that the world is in chaos.
Our ancestor Ming Gong created the kingly way and the hegemonic way. Now the kingly way has been spread among the countries, and we don’t know how to spread the hegemonic way. "
Luo Yan frowned and said, "The art of tyranny is against the harmony of nature. When a country is strong, the people will be enslaved. It is better not to spread it and put it aside."
The two of them sighed at the same time, knowing that there were many talented people in this world, and that the kingly way had emerged and the hegemonic way would not be far away.
