Chapter 261 The perfect man of the eternal world (1)
Luoyang
Yuan Mansion
"Your Majesty actually enthroned a group of eunuchs as marquises. It's really... the world is corrupt, alas~"
"It's ridiculous that you can still be a county marquis if you don't have anything to grow!"
"I think this guy is a pill!"
"Shhh... don't say such things!"
A group of young scholars are discussing current affairs in Sikong Yuan Jing's private mansion.
Although the Yuan family is still only the second generation and third emperor, and is not as good as the Hongnong Yang family, it has been supported by many scholars.
However, there were also some scholars who secretly complained to the Yuan family because the Yuan family secretly gave gifts to eunuchs in order to be the third prince.
Most scholars expressed their understanding of the Yuan family and felt that the Yuan family was "forced by eunuchs". They still believed that the Yuan family was pure and believed that the Yuan family would never be able to collude with eunuchs.
This is how most scholars criticized eunuchs for their corruption and then did not ruthlessly when they were corruption in the local area.
They are not against corruption, but against eunuchs fighting with them for the power of corruption.
The Yuan family in Runan appeared to be eunuchs who were in the position of the three dukes, but secretly cooperated with other gentry members. This trick was perfect.
The same situation as the Yuan family in Runan was the Wang family in Liaodong. They also curled up with eunuchs on the surface and pleased the emperor, but secretly hooked up with the gentry.
The scholars were envious and jealous of the eunuchs who were granted marquis, and were embarrassed to say directly that they were actually just jealous, so they criticized the eunuchs with the various saints and used the saint's classics to cover up their jealousy.
They might think that eunuchs helped the emperor clean up their relatives and were granted a title of marquis was just the emperor's repayment to the eunuchs. Their gentry colluded with their relatives. As long as the emperor was still a normal person, it was impossible to reuse them, such gentry who had a criminal record of colluding with relatives.
Sikong Yuan Jing was not in the mansion, and his son Yuan Tang was now the prefect outside, so Yuan Tang's three sons, Yuan Cheng, Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei, were entertained by many scholars.
The eldest son Yuan Cheng is already sixteen years old and has a handsome man. The second son Yuan Feng is only ten years old and has bright eyes and white teeth. The youngest son Yuan Wei is just three years old and has come to join in the fun and show his face in the circle of scholars in advance, so that he can become an official in the future, or even be an official.
It is not impossible for the three masters to be able to do so.
"Everyone, be careful!" Yuan Cheng was worried that an insider would report these words to the eunuchs in the palace. After everyone was silent, Yuan Tang went to a silent scholar among the scholars.
He asked, "Brother Bo'an, why are you sad?"
The other scholars also looked at the silent young man frowned.
The young man was in his early twenties and his name was Wang Yun, whose courtesy name was Bo'an and his pseudonym Yangming.
He was Wang Xu's only grandson. His father died of illness when he was just one year old. He grew up in Liaodong. At the age of fifteen, he left Liaodong and went to the Central Plains to explore the world and make a name for himself.
His grandfather was the great Confucian Wang Xu, and his grandmother was Ban Zhao, who continued to write the "Book of Han" and wrote the "Female Instructions". Although his father died early, he was also a nine minister. His mother was from Yuan's family in Runan.
A legitimate daughter.
Although the family is now "down" and the highest official position is Wang Huang, the prefect of Liaodong with two thousand stones. He doesn't even have three dukes in his family, but after all, it was the family of famous general Wang Changzhi and famous minister Wang Changjiong, so now
The great man is quite famous.
With so many dazzling backgrounds, he is undoubtedly the most eye-catching in the entire Yuan Mansion.
According to the blood generation, he is the cousin of Yuan Cheng, Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei, and according to the teacher and student generation, he is the senior of the three of them.
"Yu is just thinking, why are there so many thieves in the world?" Wang Yunru said, [Yu] is his self-moodiness, meaning that he doesn't know much, and he understands a little bit.
"During the reign of Emperor Zhang of Ming Dynasty, my Han Dynasty was so gentle. During the reign of Emperor He, my Han Dynasty was a great martial artsman and destroyed the Northern Huns. But since Emperor An, the Qiang people first rebelled, and the people in the Central Plains rebelled. Eunuchs and relatives took turns to control the government, and to the end,
Why?”
Wang Yun was very calm when speaking. He was clearly talking about something very sad, but he couldn't hear a trace of sadness in his tone.
"There are many rebels, of course, because the eunuchs control the government. As long as the eunuchs are killed, there will be a blue sky and the world will be peaceful!" said a scholar.
"Yes, yes, the reason why people in the world are getting more and more miserable is that the eunuchs control the government and are insatiable!" Another scholar echoed!
"Since it is the suffering of the people caused by the insatiable eunuchs, why does Your Majesty still use eunuchs?" Wang Yun continued to ask.
"It must be that the eunuch was insidious and cunning, deceiving his superiors and concealing his subordinates, and confusing His Majesty!" A scholar did not dare to say that the emperor was wrong, so he put all the responsibility on the eunuch.
"As long as there are no eunuchs, the world will not suffer people's livelihood?" Wang Yun did not agree with the current mainstream ideas. He felt that there might be other reasons for people's livelihood, but he didn't know what the reason was, but it was definitely not land annexation and greed among the gentry.
Because it is impossible for the gentry to make mistakes, they can only find something else to make mistakes.
The mainstream ideas of the Han Dynasty today all believe that the world is corruption caused by eunuchs, so as long as the eunuchs are killed, everything will be fine!
But Wang Yun had known about the former Han Dynasty and Xinmang, and knew that the former Han Dynasty was destroyed by Wang Mang and Xinmang was destroyed by the uprising.
However, before the demise of the former Han Dynasty, the emperor at that time did not seem to value eunuchs, but instead valued Confucian scholars, and Wang Mang even vigorously promoted Confucian scholars.
The former Han and Xinmang, who valued Confucian scholars and did not value eunuchs, still perished. What does this mean? This shows that eunuchs may not be the main reason for the corruption of the world, but perhaps the main reason is something else?
"Brother Bo'an, do you want to speak for the eunuch?" A scholar said angrily. In their values, eunuchs are unforgivable. As long as the emperor values eunuchs, he is a foolish monarch, and as long as the emperor values confucian monarch, he is a wise monarch.
"No." Wang Yun didn't really want to pay attention to these sluts. Although he did not agree with the mainstream view of "eunuchs lead to corruption in the world", it did not mean that he recognized eunuchs. As a scholar, he also hated eunuchs, but he did not
It is believed that killing eunuchs will bring peace to the world, and things are not as simple as everyone thinks.
"I think that the world is corrupt and eunuchs are greedy, but the more important thing is the heart of the people." Wang Yun expressed his opinion to everyone: "Whether it is eunuchs, ordinary people, or the barbarians on the frontiers, they are all human beings, but
Why are most people greedy?”
"The key to this lies in the hearts of people. These people have no conscience in their hearts, which leads to the decay of the world."
"Only by preserving the laws of nature and eliminating human desires, everyone can study things and achieve knowledge, integrate knowledge and action, achieve conscience, and achieve good abilities, then the world can be safe."
Wang Yun was influenced by Confucian classics, Buddhists, Christian missionaries, Taoist and Legal classics since childhood. He was no longer a pure Confucian scholar, but a combination of various ideas.
Ji Xingfo lived in his 130s and passed away ten years ago. The last disciple he received during his lifetime was Wang Yun.
Thanos Wang's thoughts also influenced Wang Yun.
Plus the influence of his great Confucian grandfather on him.
There are also the influence of the Taoist and Legal classics collected by the Wang family in Liaodong on him.
Wang Yun is uniting Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and Law into one.
The other scholars were surprised by Wang Yun's new insights and were all stunned.
"Yangming, Yangming, you are really deviant!" Yuan Cheng is a traditional Confucian scholar. His only feeling about Wang Yun's words was that they were too deviant and completely deviant, completely out of the current Confucian scope.
