I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 67 - 26: Gu Kang Founds a School, Posthumously Canonized as a Sage

Chapter 67: Chapter 26: Gu Kang Founds a School, Posthumously Canonized as a Sage
Gu Kang seemed to have already noticed the abnormalities in his body.
From then on;
He dedicated himself even more tirelessly to writing books night and day.
Pouring all his efforts into them.
The core idea of Gu Kang’s book was "respect the spirits and keep them at a distance," aiming to persuade people to solve problems through their own efforts, rather than relying solely on worshipping the heavens and gods.
At the same time, he also integrated some of the prophetic learning of Modern Literature School.
He merged the concepts of "divine right of kings" and orthodox ideas like "Three Bonds and Five Constants" within them.
He truly achieved a synthesis, taking the essence from both ancient and modern texts.
This was the smartness of Gu Kang.
He wanted to express his thoughts, yet he did not completely separate himself from both schools.
He also incorporated various rituals he and Emperor Ming had established back in the day.
Furthermore, within them, Gu Kang annotated classics, infusing them with his insights.
He had no intention of hiding this matter; after gradually completing it, he made several trips to the Imperial College to discuss learning with the students there.
The impact of this matter was so great it was no less than Gu Cheng’s opening up of the entire Western Regions.
Gu Kang was actually engaged in scholarly pursuits!
The ministers finally realized what Gu Kang was truly trying to do.
Especially upon hearing Gu Kang’s theories, the whole Modern Literature School erupted!
The influence of such events cannot simply be suppressed by status alone.
Although Gu Kang had his strengths.
His core content greatly diverged from the whole Modern Literature School’s ideas.
Both sides engaged in academic debates for days within the Imperial College.
Naturally, Gu Kang frequently held the upper hand.
After all, his scholarship level was already not bad, and moreover, he had the foundation of the current prosperous era.
This made Gu Kang seem somewhat invulnerable.
To the extent that people gradually began to support Gu Kang.
But even so, the academic turmoil in Great Han could not be stopped.
Liu Da indeed had an excellent talent in Confucian classics.
Under this situation.
He actually decided to gather scholars from various places at the White Tiger Temple to discuss the differences among the Five Classics.
The influence of this matter was truly unimaginable.
Confucian scholars from Modern Literature School, Ancient Literature School, and even those with reputations from various places all flocked here.
Though factions have always been at odds, under such circumstances, they naturally joined forces against Gu Kang.
Everyone realized the danger of Gu Kang.
Such a figure with a prosperous foundation is a test for scholars who have their own beliefs about the world.
But even if they join forces, what can they achieve?
What does it mean to merge the strengths of both schools?
The efforts Gu Kang invested in this are unimaginable to others.
He is always able to deliver blows to both sides from the most precise angle.
The most critical thing is, Gu Kang’s foundation in this prosperous era is indeed too deep.
Even if one were to scour the history books.
It’s impossible to find a prosperous time like the current one.
This was crafted by Liu Zhuang and Gu Kang themselves.
To Gu Kang, this was a sure-kill technique!
The successive successes in agricultural development and water management established a strong foundation for Gu Kang’s entire philosophy.
For months on end.
Gu Kang continuously faced targeted opposition from everyone.
More and more people were influenced by Gu Kang; his ideology, combined with the current prosperous era, was indeed overly persuasive.
In the end, everyone finally fell silent.
During this time, Liu Da carefully listened.
With age, he appeared increasingly heroic.
He kept Ban Gu documenting everything.
Moreover, he also had his own judgments.
In terms of Confucianism.
Liu Da showed more concern than Guangwu Emperor or even Emperor Ming.
Finally, he instructed Ban Gu to compose the White Tiger Communication, comprehensively incorporating Gu Kang’s ideas to establish it as official learning.
Thoroughly resolved the academic disputes in Eastern Han!
For a moment, Gu Kang’s reputation reached its peak once again.
Especially when those students who chose to follow Gu Kang entered the Imperial College, everyone seemed to have guessed something, and even the atmosphere of the whole Imperial College gradually changed.
Gu Yi had been watching all this, and at this moment was immensely shocked.
"Is this the embryonic form of a unified learning and critical evaluation?"
Who would have thought that originally he just wanted to prevent the family youngsters from overly superstitious education, yet it developed to this point today?
Gu Yi remembered clearly.
Zheng Xuan’s unified learning took the strengths of both schools, while Wang Chong’s critical evaluation criticized prophetic superstition.
Even though Gu Kang’s current book seemed not as comprehensive as those two at first glance.
What era is Gu Kang in now?
The impact this will have on future academic development is still unknown to Gu Yi.
However, for the Gu Clan.
This is indeed a great blessing!
....
The world bustles.
Countless people come, and countless people go.
But all this is no longer related to the Gu Clan.
After the White Tiger Temple meeting, Gu Kang truly seemed to have exhausted all his efforts.
His condition rapidly worsened.
Despite not yet reaching the twilight years, he was already full of white hair, evidently spent with effort.
"Father."
In the Champion Marquis Mansion, Gu Liang and a group of Gu Clan progenies kneeled in the room, their faces full of mourning as they looked at the dying Gu Kang on the bed.
The entire room was filled with a heavy atmosphere of sorrow.
Gu Kang laboriously turned his head, his eyes filled with worry, sweeping over the family members, finally resting on Gu Liang: "Liang’er.
His voice was weak and hoarse.
Gu Liang had to get closer to barely hear his words.
