Luo Youdu was not fooling around to deal with Dou Yi. The development of science and technology is important, but the virtues of the Chinese people are equally important.
In later generations, he was very disgusted with the one-sided liberal views of a group of public intellectuals. Compared with so-called freedom, he believed more in the responsibilities passed down by his ancestors and that humans should bear.
Dou Yi was also relieved a lot after hearing this.
Luo Youdu was very interested in Dou Yan's New Confucianism, so he took the future Confucian scholar and talked about his understanding of Confucianism in detail. Luo Youdu was indeed not proficient in Confucian classics. He had been in this era for so many years and did not have much time to study it.
He studied the Four Books and Five Classics, and at most read the Analects and the Book of Rites and other useful classics a few times, but he was not completely ignorant of Confucianism.
Because most of the Zhejiang merchants in later generations admired Yangming’s philosophy of mind, and when they interacted with them, sat down to drink tea and chat, they would not say a few words about the philosophy of mind such as “there is nothing outside the heart”, “the unity of knowledge and action”, and “to achieve conscience”.
We can't even talk to each other.
For the sake of business, Luo Youdu actually read a few books on Yangming's philosophy. He can't say that he knows much about it. He can talk about the past and the present, and do his best. When chatting casually, he can also say a few words and pretend to be a little pretentious.
This is the first time he has shown his knowledge in this area.
Brothers Dou Yi and Dou Yan are both great scholars of the time, and they have a certain sense of judgment and can distinguish between good and bad.
Xinxue originated from Lu Jiuyuan in the Southern Song Dynasty, was started by Chen Xianzhang in the Ming Dynasty, perfected by Zhan Ruoshui, and compiled by Wang Shouren. However, in general, it is a branch of knowledge derived from Confucianism, and it never changes away from its origins.
The two brothers may not agree, but they can understand and have their own feelings.
Especially Dou Yan, whose Neo-Confucianism was not completely finalized, was the most susceptible to influence and received considerable inspiration.
Luo Youdu also gave a detailed introduction to physics to the two brothers, and listed things that can be used in physics in life: such as waterwheels, spinning wheels, and cranes, all of which were described one by one, just to make the Dou brothers understand.
In addition to being applicable to the battlefield, physics also has a huge impact on the lives of people all over the world.
After bidding farewell to the Dou brothers, Luo Youdu could not hide his excitement. If New Confucianism is achieved, China will surely lead the changes of the times in the future. The shame of invasion by the great powers in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China will no longer exist.
Dou Yi and Dou Yan left the palace together, and the two of them were in a particularly excited mood. Because it was still the New Year's holiday, the imperial city was empty. Dou Yan said softly: "Brother, do you think His Majesty is true to legend?
Ordinary, Ziweixing descends to earth?"
Ziweixing has always been regarded as an imperial star in ancient China.
Dou Yi was silent for a while and said, "You also noticed it? It's not impossible!"
He had followed Luo Youdu since the Battle of Huainan. At that time, he only felt that his boss often made shocking remarks. Although he was called Xiao Zhuge and a famous scholar in the later Zhou Dynasty, in fact, he was not even an introduction to the understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics.
At that time, the world held him up so high. It was because of the saying "worry before the world's worries, and rejoice after the world's happiness." It was sobering. At the same time, there was also a need for a scholar who could stand up and challenge the generals.
Luo Youdu was in the limelight at that time. Of course, it was because of his forced surrender to Shu and the battle of Huainan. He performed well and gained Guo Rong's high regard. It was also inseparable from the silent support and praise of civil servants behind his back.
People who don't understand may be deceived by his fame, but people like Dou Yi who have followed him for many years have no idea of the truth.
However, since he came to the throne, he has discovered that his boss has countless amazing things hidden in his heart.
Many times, some shocking words can be said as easily as common sense.
The more Dou Yi learned about it, the more she felt like Dou Yan, and the more she felt that she was assisting a Ziwei saint.
In fact, it's not as mysterious as what they said. It's just that Luo Youdu chose not to pretend as his position became more and more stable.
Because he doesn't believe that anyone can tie him up now and open his head to investigate and study!
On the day before the Lantern Festival, before the city-wide carnival in Luoyang, Luoyang's defenders temporarily took over control of North Street and persuaded pedestrians to stay away from both ends of the street.
After a while, the people on the street, which were originally full of cars and horses, lined up on the left and right sides of the street.
Traveling in a hurry
Those who were walking slowly moved among the crowds on the street, while those who were not in a hurry stopped and looked around.
Manichae's group was also among them.
The Persian saint of Manichaeism looked curiously at the city gate. Generally, in their west, this kind of situation was only seen when big figures arrived. A long time ago, in her memory, her father, the leader, also received such treatment.
"I wonder where the prince is from?" the Persian saint thought to herself.
Osgudin also showed an interest. If he wanted to develop the sect, he would first get the support of the emperor's nobles, accept them as believers, grant them power, and thought about whether he could develop it.
At this time, he heard a hawker carrying a load beside him ask, "Wu Tou, who is this person?"
The person who was called Wu Head was named Wu Chaofu. He was once a captain of the Longxiang Army of the Royal Camp. During the Northern Expedition, while fighting the Khitan Pioneer Army at Sancha River, he was stabbed in the shoulder and wounded.
The bones in his left arm were broken and he could no longer use his strength, so he was forced to withdraw from the army.
For veterans who were injured while serving the country, in addition to providing pensions, the court would also arrange certain employment opportunities for them to serve in their hometowns.
Wu Chaofu was awarded the first position in the inspection department of Luoyang North City.
He glanced at the hawker and said, "Go, go, why are you asking so many questions? Why don't you go to the market quickly? I'm worried that your wife Xu won't let you in." He knew the hawker, his name was Luan Yixiong, and he lived in Xingyifang.
A commoner who makes a living by selling various groceries. Because of his stubborn temper and unwillingness to pay "protection fees", he has a bad relationship with the gangsters on the street. The first thing he encountered after taking office was to help Luan Yixiong teach the gangsters a lesson.
The two also had some contacts, and Luan Yixiong even invited him to have a drink.
Luan Yixiong shouted anxiously: "She dares! How dare she rebel?"
Most of the people around were neighbors, and they laughed out loud in good faith when they heard the words. The wife of the Luan family is famous for her fierceness...
One person said: "Wu Tou, tell me, your Majesty's entry into the city will be almost the same, right?"
Although Wu Chaofu could not use one of his arms, he was promoted to the head of the Longxiang Army based on his military exploits. His subordinates were in charge of five hundred Longxiang troops, and their hands were stained with the blood of many enemies. Even though he only had one arm, he was not a ruffian.
Can be dealt with.
Since he took over the street security in Luoyang North City, the overall security has been greatly improved, and all the gangsters have clamped their tails between their legs.
After years of propaganda by Dayu, the common people have subconsciously developed the concept that soldiers and college students are all honorable ancestors.
Generals like Wu Chaofu who have retired from the front line have a halo around them.
In order to maintain their halo and enjoy the love of the people, they usually restrain their behavior and do some good deeds responsibly.
Wu Chaofu was deeply loved by his neighbors because of this.
Over time, they became integrated and the military-civilian relationship was harmonious.
Wu Chaofu looked at the expectant eyes of everyone around him and whispered: "It's Mrs. Xiao who has made a triumphant return!"
There was a burst of exclamation from the surrounding people.
Luan Yixiong's eyes flashed and he said, "Is this Mrs. Xiao who traveled across Mobei, built Guyan City in the Kent Mountains where Huo Xiuqi sealed Langjuxu, and established Hanhai Prefecture?"
Dayu publicized the heroic deeds of the imperial court and historical figures very well. In newspapers, the story of Huo Qubing being granted the title of Langjuxu, Zen in Guyan, and his expedition to the vast sea had been repeatedly publicized through storytellers, storybooks, and newspapers.
Xiao Hu's chariot came to Mobei and built a city at the foot of Guyan Mountain where Huo Qubing was granted Zen status. This kind of glorious deed is indispensable for publicity.
After dinner, listening to books in teahouses and restaurants has become one of the favorite pastimes of the people of Dayu.
Even a commoner with a flat head knows the many heroes in the Dayu Temple.
Wu Chaofu puffed up his chest and said, "Apart from her? Who else has such a grand scene? It's not just her. This time she went south. It is said that she also brought the leaders of thirty-nine tribes in Mobei to meet His Majesty."
Luan Yixiong suddenly thought of something and whispered: "It is said that His Majesty likes sisters. I heard that Xiao Jieyu in the palace is Madam Xiao's sister. Wu Tou, what do you mean by this Madam?"
Wu Chaofu's face froze slightly, and he didn't know how to say it. He really knew this.
Some, during the Northern Expedition, he was a soldier under the command of Long Xiang's army and set up camp in the north of Youzhou City.
Xiao Hunian led his troops to Youzhou for a meeting, and the cavalry troops under his command were responsible for the reception.
It is said that Xiao Hunian did not leave the Youzhou Palace that night
Although it is not certain, there are still many rumors.
Luan Yixiong observed the words and exclaimed: "Is this true?"
"No nonsense!" Wu Chaofu said with a serious face.
Luan Yixiong said: "Your Majesty is a holy and virtuous master of the ages. He will not blame you, so what are you afraid of?"
Just as he was talking, a mighty group of people drove in from the north gate of Luoyang. The leader was none other than the eldest lady of the Xiao family who had suppressed Mobei and conquered powerful grassland tribes such as Mongolia, Shiwei, and Wugu.
She is wearing a fiery red armor and a horse that looks like a blazing flame. She has a heroic appearance. Behind her is a majestic cavalry, but unlike the common cavalry, this cavalry team is composed of Khitan people.
Their appearance is not much different from that of the Central Plains people, but their hairstyle is very different.
People in the Central Plains are used to having beards, while most Khitan people are used to having their hair in a bonnet. The so-called bonnet hair means shaving off part or most of the hair, and then leaving a few braids.
It is not uncommon for the army to enter the city, but it is rare for an army of this size composed of Khitan people to enter the city. Going back to the time when Yelu Deguang entered the Central Plains, the Khitan cavalry at that time were butcher demons.
The people watching on both sides of the street were startled at first, and then they remembered that this Khitan cavalry helped them resist the southward march of the Mongolian army and conquered Mobei, and they began to cheer and applaud.
Xiao Hunian listened to the cries of the people around him, and his hanging heart finally dropped.
She had lived in Bianjing for many years and was well aware of the Central Plains people's hatred of the Khitan. When Luo Youdu asked her to lead the victorious army southward to accept the review and celebrate the victory, she was a little uneasy, fearing that something bad would happen.
But listening to the cheers from all around, Xiao Hunian also understood that Luo Youdu's words: As long as we are united, the Han and Hu families are not just words.
