Those words made Lao Zhu nod his head frequently. He already knew that the Ming Dynasty in the next month would be plagued by natural disasters due to entering the "Little Ice River" period. If it is not according to the old Confucianism, wouldn't it mean that the Ming Dynasty has done a good job?
, so the celestial phenomenon warns?
There are even thieves who don't care about face, and it is unknown that they will interpret natural disasters as the Ming Dynasty losing its destiny, and use this to make trouble.
"Then 'respect the king and repel the barbarians', what's the point?" Lao Zhu gradually entered the state.
"The so-called 'respect the king and repel the barbarians' is actually not the slogan that Guan Zhong put forward to Duke Huan of Qi in the past month." Zhu Su said. "But he is not just that. Looking at the Zhou rites that Confucius praised and its core, it is not the same as 'respecting the king and repel the barbarians'."
'Those four words?"
"King Zu means paying attention to rules and knowing loyalty, filial piety, and justice. Fighting the barbarians means the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he is as determined and enterprising as the Zhou Dynasty was in the past."
"King Zu can represent the so-called "reception between heaven and man" and illustrate the dignity of the emperor. Fighting the barbarians can divert the attention of the scholars from fighting for power outside to making progress outside. According to this set of words, anyone who is not
Anyone who respects the emperor and is obsessed with power and profit can be treated as a villain with ulterior motives and no virtue."
"And all of them are based on Confucius's original canon, but they are not based on the Master's original intention of respecting Zhou rites. Do they also occupy the commanding heights of righteousness among literati?"
"That's it." Lao Zhu gently pressed the red jade coffee table in the pavilion. After thinking for a while, he said: "Then let me tell you, Lao Wu. If not, will someone use Zhou Li to talk about things again?
, using the provisions of Zhou Rites to suppress the future emperors of our Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Biao on the side also showed uneasiness. Zhu Su was about to answer when he saw Empress Ma laughing and said: "I forgot about Chongba. Xiao Wuer just said, 'Manage the world for practical use' and 'Ming Confucianism sees nature'."
.”
"The Zhou Dynasty has been separated from the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years. If the principles at that time can be transferred to the present, wouldn't they be copied mechanically? It is in vain to pay attention to the reality of the times and not to think about the Master's original intention. It violates both 'jing the world and applying it'."
Ming Confucianism sees nature'."
"You're talking about being famous. I want to understand the master's original intention, to what extent does Zhou Li's intention reach, and how can it be considered as 'managing the world for practical purposes' and 'confucianism as enlightening as one's nature'? Isn't that very consistent with what I, the founding emperor, said?"
Lao Zhu suddenly realized that Zhu Su also had a look of admiration. There were some things that he couldn't say directly, so he could point out from the side. But it didn't matter if he ignored Queen Ma. He directly named Zhu Su's original intention: the so-called restoration of original Confucianism was actually just that.
Do you want to follow Lao Zhu’s expectations and just try to fiddle with Confucianism?
This was not an academic event in the first place, but an outright political event. What Lao Zhu asked Zhu Su to do was to let him find ways to transform Confucianism and make it conform to Lao Zhu's own political expectations.
However, Zhu Su’s proposal of restoring original Confucianism, ‘managing the world for practical purposes’, and ‘making Confucianism clear by seeing one’s nature’ are actually nothing more than a pretense. Regardless of whether they respect the king and repel the barbarians, or adopt the Zhou rites, they essentially fail to serve the Ming emperors.
Therefore, the original thought of Confucius is not because it is extremely flexible and does not have any messy rules and regulations.
Is it equivalent to snatching away the right to interpret Confucianism from the lap of the scholar-bureaucrat class and holding it in the lap of the old Zhu family emperor!
"Okay! That's great!" Lao Zhu took a few steps left and right and laughed happily. "What a person who manages the world and applies it, what a wise scholar who sees one's nature!"
"King Zu, fight against the barbarians... Okay! Boost your morale! That's the kind of knowledge we should have in the Ming Dynasty. Sister, Lao Wu, can we be taught by the two of us tomorrow!" After saying that, he couldn't help but feel happy, and then
He threw his head back and laughed.
"Stop being weird. My voice is like a wild boar. I woke up my eldest grandson." Queen Ma gave Lao Zhu a red look, and Lao Zhu quickly stopped laughing suddenly and leaned over to tease the quilt in Queen Ma's arms.
The two brothers Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Su and Zhu Biao who woke up looked at each other and smiled when they saw that scene.
"Using Kong Lao Er's argument, I wrongly treated those civil servants and Confucian scholars... Lao Wu, I am really impatient." Seeing that Zhu Xiongying fell asleep again with his thumb in his mouth, Lao Zhu turned to Zhu Su and said with a smile, "No."
The voice suddenly dropped a lot, making Zhu Su laugh a little.
"He thinks that my method is feasible. It sounds reasonable, but it can eradicate all the bad habits of civil servants." Lao Zhu said.
"In fact, we have to start soon. Jiedong came to ask how to promote it, so that it would be the main event." Zhu Su said. "I want to spread the idea and persuade the literati in Tiandong. It will be a month's work."
"In this regard, it is very necessary to proceed step by step."
"How can we proceed step by step?" Lao Zhu waved his thigh, "Don't we want to wait any longer? We can't wait to spread our knowledge to all the people in the world right away."
"That's wrong, boss. Just now Mao Xiang reported that the civil servants are getting together to hold a literary meeting."
"No." Zhu Biao replied after hearing this. "Commander Mao just said that the great Confucianists would like to give lectures at Qixia Temple on the seventh day of the Eastern lunar month, discussing Confucianism and Taoism."
"It is very important to seek to formulate rules and regulations to promote culture and education."
"Huh, what are you lecturing?" Lao Zhu snorted. "But if we ask me to serve in the Imperial College, they are not happy and they are deliberately stumbling for us."
"I'm thinking of setting up a new stove to win over the Confucian scholars in the Imperial College."
"Lao Wu, I will also go to the literary conference! I must refute those corrupt scholars!"
"We beg them to know what Confucius really meant!"
Lao Zhu's majestic and serious face rarely showed a treacherous look. It seemed that he was very interested in using Confucius' words to refute the disciples of the Confucius family. But Zhu Su had a beeping expression on his face: "Uh, dad, you
Then...please ask him to destroy the civil servants?"
"His reputation among civil servants is not good to begin with. If something like this happens again, those people will not be able to tear him apart?"
"It's better to be more prudent. You should start from the Imperial College first, and then slowly..."
"Why are you so slow? The Ming Dynasty will end in more than two hundred years!" Lao Zhu glared. "I really want ink, but we can't wait."
"Besides, asking us to change our studies...doesn't it support our knowledge or my knowledge? We really hope that this boy of mine will become the first sage in our old Zhu family!"
Seeing Lao Zhu's attitude, Zhu Su rolled his eyes red.
It's as if Ming Dynasty is asking for death tomorrow. Well, it seems that in that situation, you have to kick it, and you have to kick it if you don't.
When Yao Guangxiao left, he was told to keep a low profile. Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to Beijing, he would be beaten by Lao Zhu.
Zhu Su was not disgusted by the mistake of paying civil servants. What's more, it is easier to think, and it can also help the spread of science. After all, Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty and scientific thought are contradictory to each other, and Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty does not need science.
It can impact the academic existence of Confucianism.
If you don't change your mind first, even if you try your best to develop science in your life, you may end up like Zhang Juzheng's New Deal. After your death, the science that you have finally made progress will be backlashed by the outdated Confucianism, and you will end up with the end of personal rule.
East field.
Let Confucianism be mixed with sand first, and when they sense the threat of science, they will be unable to care about it.
"He can go, but no matter what he does, you can't blame him." Zhu Su made a condition to Lao Zhu.
