We had lunch on the mountain and then went to see Cai Maode.
On the way to the cafeteria, many students followed him. When Zhao Han sat down, some more came around and chatted non-stop.
There were also people at several tables with sneers and disdain on their faces.
"This weird talk is just sensationalism."
"The mountain chief should expel him from the academy!"
"I heard that this guy is just an adopted son, a domestic slave or something like that."
"No wonder he said that all men are equal, but it is just a lie told by humble people."
"Hahahaha, if you shout a few words that everyone is equal, will a domestic slave want to be the master?"
"Since he is a domestic slave, why is he also a child? How strange!"
"It's nothing more than a sharp-tongued tongue that charms its owner and leaves his name in the owner's household registration."
"Damn it, doesn't this taint the family tradition of my Fei family? I must go to the clan leader to file a complaint!"
"..."
Zhao Han's place was equally lively.
A child student said: "Chen Lide is a fake Taoist scholar. I have long been disgusted by his words and deeds. Today, I am so embarrassed that I hide my face and walk away. I am really happy!"
Zhao Han smiled and said: "Mr. Chen is a teacher after all. As a student, you can just accept his mistakes and don't slander his moral character."
A scholar praised: "Neither humble nor arrogant, neither arrogant nor impetuous, students are the true Taoists!"
Another Tong Sheng asked: "Your Excellency said what Zhu Xi said, which is shocking to the world. Which masterpiece did they come from?"
Zhao Han replied: "There are many "Zhu Xi Yu Lei" and "Hui'an Collection", as well as Zhu Xi's other writings."
The scholar before was stunned and said: "I have seen "Hui'an Collection" and flipped through it. There are a hundred volumes. I was busy with the imperial examination at the time, so I didn't read it carefully. I will read it carefully in the future!"
"I've only read it roughly," Zhao Han said.
This is really not modesty. In more than three years, how can you seriously read the Confucian classics?
Regarding "Hui'an Collection", Zhao Han is selective
Don't read the poems directly, read the chapters you like carefully, skim the boring chapters, only excerpt the key contents, and just know the gist of the rest.
If he studies like this, he will bully ordinary people.
If he were a great scholar of Neo-Confucianism, he would be able to refute Zhao Han until he was speechless.
Obviously, this cafeteria is full of ordinary people.
Some students wanted to show off but didn't want to read seriously, so they said, "My junior has studied Zhu Xi thoroughly. Can you tell us more about Zhu Xi?"
This is not asking for advice, but trying to get a few words so that I can use them elsewhere to show off.
"Yes, yes, let's talk about Zhu Xi." Everyone agreed and wanted to remember a few more amazing words.
The food has been brought, and there is no room to sit around the table. Many people simply hold their rice bowls and listen.
Zhao Han picked up his chopsticks and said: "Let me talk about "Hui'an Collection" first. This book has many amazing theories. Do you know about Confucius' execution of Shaozheng Mao?"
"I know it," said the scholar Liu Ziren, holding the bowl.
Confucius and Shao Zhengmao gathered together to give lectures at the same time. Shao Zhengmao's lectures were more interesting, and all Confucius' students fled. Later, Confucius became the chief minister, and only seven days after taking office, he killed Shao Zhengmao and left his body tomb for three days.
It first came from "Xunzi", which only said that Confucius killed Shaozhengmao, without any lectures or exposure to corpses. After many interpretations, later generations have made it more conclusive and completed the details of the story.
The writing style of the Spring and Autumn Period in "Historical Records" does not include any details. It is only after Confucius became an official and before Shaozhengmao was executed that the three words "youxise" were added.
Zhao Han held up his chopsticks and said: "In "Hui'an Ji", Zhuzi denied that there was any "killing Shaozhengmao", and also called Xunzi a bad Confucian, deliberately slandering Confucius. Because this story was first published in "Xunzi" and was second seen in
"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" and other pre-Qin classics have no records!"
"I see!"
The students were very happy because they had another topic to brag about.
Even the tables in the distance, although they despised Zhao Han, listened carefully for fear of missing a word.
Zhao Han put down his chopsticks, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Do you know that Zhu Zi not only scolded Xunzi, but also entertained Confucius?"
"Really?" Everyone was shocked.
Zhao Han explained in detail: "Zhu Zi said that in the turbulent times of the Spring and Autumn Period, rituals and music collapsed, and Confucius' knowledge was useless. This comes from "Zhu Zi Yu Lei"."
Well, strictly speaking, it is not taken out of context, Zhu Xi implicitly meant to complain about Confucius.
The students were first frightened and then excited.
It turns out that Zhu Zi, like us, also entertained Master Confucius.
"What else? What else? Tell me quickly!" These guys don't like to listen to truth, they just like to hear this kind of gossip.
Since everyone wants to hear it, Zhao Han is also happy to talk nonsense: "Song and Jin are coexisting. I would like to ask, Zhu Zizhi advocated peace or war?"
In the minds of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xidun and Ru Ya should not shout about fighting and killing, but they might be the peace faction.
But the Zhu Xi mentioned by Zhao Han seems to be different.
So, everyone remained silent and waited for Zhao Han to speak.
Zhao Han slammed the table: "Zhuzi said that the Kingdom of Jin is a barbarian and a beast. How can we reason with the beasts? What kind of contract should we negotiate with the beasts? Don't be afraid, just go for it, the Northern Expedition!"
"good!"
"Zhu Zi is truly a warrior!"
Since Zhu Xi in Zhao Han's mouth is so unorthodox, isn't it true that in private... he is even more unorthodox?
Fei Ruyi had a lewd smile on his face and suddenly asked: "Did Zhu Zi take a nun as his concubine?"
"Brother Changhuai, how can you talk nonsense!"
Everyone scolded one after another, and then looked at Zhao Han, their faces full of curiosity, and they seemed to be expecting it to be true.
Come on, come on, come on, we like to hear this.
Zhao Han explained: "At that time, there was a palace upheaval and the new emperor ascended the throne. Zhu Zi was called as the emperor's tutor. There were two people who supported him, one was his clan relative Zhao Ruyu, and the other was his relative Han Zhouzhou. The two quarreled, and Zhu Zi was the first to bear the brunt and was tainted. Among the major crimes is the crime of marrying a nun without permission."
"Then did he marry a nun?" Fei Ruhe asked.
"What do you think?" Zhao Han asked back and continued, "Zhu Xi did not defend himself against the ten major crimes, but accepted them all. He left the court just to avoid the party struggle at that time. But he still did not escape, Neo-Confucianism Many of his disciples were ostracized and persecuted, and Zhu Xi was repeatedly impeached at home."
Fei Ruhe couldn't help scratching his head: "What does it mean to admit it? To marry or not to marry?"
"Of course he didn't marry a nun, how could Zhu Xi be such a person!" Liu Ziren, a scholar, shouted, "How can the criticism made by the party be taken seriously?"
Not married to a nun?
Everyone was very disappointed with Zhu Xi.
Fei Ruyi still didn't give up and asked: "Did Zhu Xi persecute the famous prostitute Yan Rui, and did he secretly marry Yan Rui's daughter Liniang? Which of these two stories is true and which is false?"
"Nonsense!"
Liu Ziren grabbed Fei Ruyi's lapel and angrily shouted: "You are a demon, you can't slander a saint!"
Fei Ruyi saw that Liu Ziren's face was full of flesh and he was not handsome at all, so he said with disgust: "I didn't make up these stories. They have been spread all over Jiangzuo."
"Jiangzuo is a place where filth and evil are hidden!" Liu Ziren also looked disgusted and pushed Fei Ruyi away. He felt disgusted if he got too close.
A gay man and a straight man, they hate each other.
Zhao Han slowly recounted: "That year there was a great disaster in eastern Zhejiang, and Zhu Zi was at home. Although Prime Minister Wang Huai hated Neo-Confucianism and did not want to see Zhu Zi, he could only use Zhu Zi to relieve the disaster. Do you know why?"
"Zhu Xi must be good at governing places." Xu Ying said suddenly.
"Of course," Zhao Han said, "Zhu Zi once ruled Chong'an County. During the great disaster, officials were corrupt, merchants were in trouble, and the gentry stood idle. Zhu Zi punished corrupt officials, suppressed local evil gentry, and forced merchants to sell grain at a fair price. The court
The halls and places were completely offended by Zhu Zi, but the people of Chong'an County survived countless lives."
"He is indeed a model for our generation, Zhu Xi, a saint!" Xu Ying, Liu Ziren and other students shouted.
Zhao Han continued: "The great disaster in eastern Zhejiang was really serious. Prime Minister Wang Huai had no one to use, so he had to use Zhu Zi to do things. The great disaster in eastern Zhejiang was not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster. Tang Zhongyou, the magistrate of Taizhou, harmed the place.
Quite true. Zhu Zi wrote six memorials to impeach this person, and the whole court was shocked, because this Tang Zhongyou was a fellow countryman and in-law of Prime Minister Wang Huai!"
Xu Ying couldn't help but ask: "What happened in the end?"
Zhao Han sighed: "The disaster was brought under control. Tang Zhongyou was dismissed from office, and Zhu Zi... was also dismissed from office."
"That's unreasonable!"
Everyone was furious when they heard this, including Fei Ruyi.
Fei Ruhe roared: "The emperor and the prime minister are really stupid and incompetent. Tang Zhongyou did all the bad things, but he was dismissed from office, and his crimes were not investigated? Zhu Zi helped the people, but he also lost his black gauze hat? Is Zhu Zi a chamber pot? Bring it
Just use it and throw it away after use!”
"This, this, this..." Liu Ziren was also angry at first, but he immediately retorted after hearing this, "How can you say that Zhu Zi is a chamber pot?"
Fei Ruhe glared at the other party: "You are still a scholar, can't you understand people's words? It's not that I said Zhu Zi is a chamber pot, but that stupid prime minister treated Zhu Zi as a chamber pot!"
Liu Ziren was so angry that he stamped his feet and said, "That can't be compared like this!"
Xu Ying quickly persuaded him: "We are all aggrieved by Zhu Zi, so don't hurt the harmony."
Fei Ruyi suddenly urged: "Hurry up and tell me about the famous prostitute."
Zhao Han explained: "The famous prostitute Yan Rui was the concubine of Tang Zhongyou, a corrupt official in the state. Tang Zhongyou also had a friend named Hong Mai. Many years later, Zhu Zi was dismissed from office due to party disputes, and Hong Mai happened to major in national history. He not only compiled history
He slandered Zhu Zi and also compiled "Yi Jian Zhi Geng" to fabricate the incident between Zhu Zi and the prostitute."
Zhao Han said to everyone: "Gentlemen, Zhu Zi is against women sacrificing their husbands. Zhu Zi's inscription commending martyred women who sacrificed their husbands was also fabricated by Hong Mai and others. Because at that time, sacrificing their husbands was not a good thing, but would be spurned by the scholar-bureaucrats. Those who
Those who oppose Neo-Confucianism say that Zhuzi advocates women sacrificing their husbands."
Zhao Han pointed in the direction down the mountain: "If we follow Zhu Xi's true meaning, the chaste and martyred women's memorial arch can be demolished."
Everyone looked at each other.
Fei Yuanjian put down the bowl and chopsticks and clenched his fists. His mother was now a chastity arch.
Liu Ziren suddenly said: "My disciples are studying the true meaning of Zhu Xi. Why don't we form a society to rectify the origin of Neo-Confucianism?"
"I'll join too!" Fei Ruhe responded immediately. This guy was just doing it for fun.
Xu Ying asked: "How about calling it Hanzhu Society?"
Zhao Han laughed and said: "It is better to call it Datong Society, which means the world is unified."
