Chapter 281 Worshiping Wang Yangming at the Confucian Temple

Wang Xijue pondered after hearing this.

The sunlight shone on his thick eyebrows, which only made his gaze towards the chief assistant's mansion more profound.

Zhang Siwei, who was told by the doctor that his emotions were too depressed, needed more exposure to the sun, was also looking at the sun outside the capital's mansion, and also saw Wang Xijue who was looking towards him.

Wang Xijue didn't notice Zhang Siwei, and only after a while, he said: "It's understandable, if you don't regard Taishi's way of governing the country as the right way in the world, I'm afraid you won't be able to reassure the old people of Taishi."

Yu Youding and Shen Shixing nodded.

And Yu Youding also said: "What's more, a country must only have one idea!"

"This idea is what His Majesty mentioned in the Imperial College in the past."

"Ministers who disapprove cannot govern the country!"

"The grand master is the successor and proponent of this concept, and he is also the first teacher of Qisheng Tianzi who upholds this concept and becomes the Grand Duke of the world. Therefore, only by acknowledging the merits of the grand master and accepting his words can we talk about other things."

"We are not just for the safety of our family, so we don't allow people to die!"

Wang Xijue nodded after hearing this: "I understand, I will bring them a message and persuade them well!"

"Now the exam is too harsh, so that Shen Shichu only left the Ministry, and only now has time to come to see the public. It's really disrespectful."

Gu Xiancheng came to Wang Xijue this evening and started talking.

Li Zhi, who had already come first, said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate is not much better, and three censors have already been sentenced to exile at Mowen River Guard because they were found out for extorting bribes. Otherwise, according to the intention of the cabinet, they will be executed. Really, everyone has become Hai Gangfeng and Yan Gongzhi!"

At this time, Li Sancai, who also came, bowed his hands to Wang Xijue and said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs is not much better. Three people will be exiled and five will be dismissed!"

"It's okay, the old man's long-term workers don't stop for five hours."

Wang Xijue said something at this moment.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong!"

"How can scholars and ordinary people be the same?"

"The country should have concerns about raising soldiers!"

Li Zhi said something.

Gu Xiancheng asked Wang Xijue directly: "How is your question?"

Wang Xijue then told them what Shen Shixing and others had said.

The faces of the three of them changed after hearing this.

"This is impossible!"

Li Zhi said something first.

"Acknowledging Jiangling's achievements is like going against the world!"

Li Sancai also followed suit.

"Why is the world's right and wrong, the temple must be against the ears?! I really don't understand!"

Gu Xiancheng also asked about Wang Xijue.

Wang Xijue asked Gu Xiancheng: "Then why is the right and wrong in temples the opposite in the world?"

Gu Xiancheng only sneered and didn't answer.

Wang Xijue didn't answer either.

"You can't blame Jiang Ling, should you blame His Majesty?"

Instead, it was Li Sancai who boldly asked at this moment, and said:

"The whole world is against Jiangling. Isn't it because they are loyal to the emperor? They don't want those who have suffered so much from tyranny to blame the emperor?!"

"It seems that there is still no harmony."

Wang Xijue sighed, put down the teacup: "Send off the guests!"

The three of them also bid farewell and left the palace.

……

"According to what His Majesty said in the "Notes on Outer Living" and the Taishi's lectures, the world is not just the scholars who can represent the world, because the world is not only their world, but also the world of the whole world, and it is the world of all the people of Ming Dynasty. "

"Your Majesty is the ruler of the world, and he abides by the constitution of heaven and secures the people of the world. That's why he formulated the three goals of ruling the country by enriching the country, strengthening the army, and benefiting the people."

"Now they use the right and wrong of scholars to represent the right and wrong of the world, which is inappropriate!"

"What's more, the scholars themselves are not unified."

"Besides, a gentleman is all about righteousness, and he should be more important than profit. How can he disregard justice because of profit?"

"Since they still insist on defining the concept of right and wrong arising from the control of selfish desires as the right and wrong of all people in the world, it seems that the days of sharing beauty and beauty are still long, and disputes are still inevitable."

Because Zhu Yijun ordered Shen Shixing, Shen Li, etc. to be the editors to compile "The Selected Works of Taishi Zhang Juzheng", and "Waijujuzhu" as the textbooks of the ruling school of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Shen Li was also in Shen Shihang's second assistant mansion at this time, and also knew that Wang Xijue had conveyed Gu Xiancheng's opinion, so he started talking.

Shen Shixing, Pan Sheng, Yu Youding, Wang Xijue and others all listened carefully.

After hearing this, Pan Sheng said with a sullen face: "Perhaps only when being a slave is uncomfortable, the entire scholarly community will be willing to recognize the grand master's merits."

"Being a slave?"

Shen Li couldn't help asking.

"That's right, be a slave!"

"They all want to live a comfortable and leisurely life, they don't want to make contributions, and they don't want the country to have strong people. Whether it is the emperor, the scholar-officials, or the people, they all want to be weak. If this is the case, the whole country will be weak, and the whole country will be weak in the future. Want to be a slave?"

Pan Sheng started to ask after speaking.

"Then continue to treat each other as thieves!"

Yu Youding stood up solemnly at this time: "If the old rites are not removed, if the new rites are not established, if the Grand Master does not offer sacrifices to the Confucius Temple, then we will no longer talk about the word 'harmony and help each other'!"

Shen Shixing took a look at Yu Youding and didn't say much.

Next, Shen Shihang took the initiative to submit a confidential disclosure.

Zhu Yijun summoned Shen Shixing alone on the platform after receiving the confidential disclosure letter.

"Sacrifice Wang Shouren and Chen Xianzhang to the Confucian Temple!"

"Why did Master Shen ask for this all of a sudden?"

Zhu Yijun sat in front of Shen Shixing and asked.

Because Shen Shixing served as Zhu Yijun's lecturer, Zhu Yijun called him his master.

Shen Shixing told Zhu Yijun that Wang Xijue was looking for these cabinets on behalf of Gu Xiancheng and others.

After Zhu Yijun heard this, he pondered for a long time, and then looked at Shen Shixing: "Master Shen wants to worship the king first, and only respect Zhu's confinement when he opens his studies?"

"And in order to let the Taishi's words be accepted by the people of the world, and at the same time let Shilin argue first because of adoring the king and guarding Zhu, and it is difficult to form a joint force, criticize sir?"

"Your Majesty!

"One is to understand the usefulness of true Confucianism, and not to be content with rigid music; the second is to understand the self-sufficiency of real learning, rather than focusing on knowledge."

"It will be of great benefit to sanctify!"

"It can even encourage new learning by admiring the king, so that people don't have to follow Cheng Zhu exclusively, but make it difficult for those who have made great contributions to the country with morality."

"This is also to prepare for the establishment of a new ceremony."

Shen Shi said what he said.

Zhu Yijun nodded: "Government philosophy needs to be unified, but learning should be encouraged to be innovative and developed. No matter whether the development of Wang Xue is good or bad, but his awareness of the people's way has begun to make the scholar-officials willing to sink the Taoism preaching to the common people. Being courteous to the people, the idea of ​​starting to advocate active practice is worthy of recognition.”

"Your Majesty said yes."

"Many scholars in the world today hate the grand master because their interests have been greatly damaged by the new policy, and they have forgotten the righteousness of the country. The imperial court is acting against its own right and wrong, and it is against the scholars of the world. , in the name of learning should be in harmony with each other, to divide scholars, and at the same time make learning lower the common people, so it is necessary to worship the king first!"

Shen Shi said what he said.

"When I looked at the history, I found that the Chinese system first replaced the aristocratic families with literati and bureaucrats. Because of the new changes in the world, the poor landlords began to study and became the backbone;"

"Nowadays, due to the prosperity of commerce in the town and the increase in the number of readers of the citizen class, there is no doubt that new changes have taken place. If I want to enrich the country, strengthen the army and benefit the people, I have to follow the trend and support the citizen class mainly engaged in migrant workers, including supporting both Self-cultivated landowners or small traders who farm and work."

"This dynasty can't learn from the two Songs. The emperor only ruled the world with scholars and bureaucrats. When the two Songs died, they died because they didn't know how to value the citizens and the common people."

"This dynasty, in the name of the country and the nation, as mentioned by Mr. and I in the past, can improve the personality status of the people of the country, allow them to read and speak, and the world they rule should also be the entire universe!"

"And it is also in line with Taizu's intention."

"The Taizu was able to win the world because he valued the people. He even allowed the people to resist corrupt officials in the "Da Gao" and eliminate traitors for the country; Although the ancestors were sages, the system they set up is not perfect after all, we need to follow his thinking and change his system!"

"And Mr. Gao Gong and other virtuous ministers reformed the system precisely based on this. It can be said that they are loyal ministers who have truly understood the Taizu's ancestral system!"

"What Master Shen said is also in line with Taizu's intention and my intention! Therefore, what Zhunqing played!"

Zhu Yijun nodded after pondering for a moment, and expounded his own views, and said:

"But what needs to be changed now is not only to allow self-satisfaction with practical learning, but also to encourage and guide true Confucianism."

"So in my opinion, instead of banning the academies all over the world from giving lectures, it is better to accept the academies all over the world as official schools, funded by the imperial court to make them stronger, and guide them to study practical learning, so as not to be controlled by gentry and just talk about rationality, but also to let them spread moral education in the world. place, I wonder what Master Shen thinks?"
