Chapter 80: If You Don't Court Death, You Won't Die. [86]
Summary
In a tense court scene, the elderly PhD Yuan Gu Sheng is summoned by the Empress Dowager, who seeks to challenge his views on Laozi's teachings. Despite Liu De's attempt to flatter the Empress by praising Laozi, Yuan Gusheng dismisses Laozi's philosophy as trivial, provoking the Empress's ire. The Empress, feeling insulted, retaliates by equating Yuan's studies to criminal records, escalating the conflict. This highlights the deep ideological rifts within Confucianism and the competing philosophies of the time, illustrating the fraught dynamics of power and knowledge in the Han Dynasty.Full content
