The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was unwilling to admit that Liu Bowen was a "Confucian" was simple. Confucianism has a sense of mission of "guiding the monarch into the right" and is a real scholar. In the old concept, they should be the teachers of kings. Being "Julian Waghann" is the greatest dream of China literati since ancient times, and Liu Bowen is no exception. The problem is that this dream is often just the wishful thinking of literati. A man who is too confident doesn't admit that there is a "teacher Wang", otherwise, doesn't that mean there are better people in the world than him? Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, was like that, and so was Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.
Yin Jiaquan, an old-school intellectual, wrote an article in which he quoted a passage from Hanshu Zhangliangzhuan: "If you learn this, you will learn from the emperor." Although he repeatedly stated that he "never thought of himself like this", he was still arrested by Gan Long. Gan Long angrily asked, "If you want to be the king's teacher, where should you put me?" This is also the core of men's heartfelt dislike of Julian Waghann.
Gan Long also blurted out several famous sentences when denouncing Ji Xiaolan: "I think your literature is superior, so I only advocate superior livestock. How dare you talk about state affairs! " The meaning is more clear. It turns out that in the eyes of the king, the so-called state affairs are actually just his housework and his own business. The literati, even the nominal teacher, is just his pleasure. Therefore, the paper honor of "Teacher Wang" was shattered after Qianlong blew a sarcastic and contemptuous sigh.
