Since Liang Menglong became the chief minister and was criticized for the "uncovering case", Shen Shixing has exerted great force in various occasions to meet the emperor. All ministers believed that in order to consolidate his power, he made full use of all opportunities to meet the emperor to regain the favor of the emperor.
The so-called "trapped beast still fights". The weak political forces in the court are faced with the situation of being eliminated at any time, and they can do anything. At this time, Shen Shixing is dangerous, and others cannot make the mistake of adding insult to injury - he bites them back.
Can't do it.
But at today's Sutra banquet, Shen Shixing carelessly licked the prince, trying to overturn the interpretation of Confucianism by thousands of scholars over the past thousands of years. This was the most direct attack on Confucianism by imperial officials since the emperor presided over the Nantai Conference.
After all the ministers looked at each other, Zhao Zhigao came out and said: "What Prime Minister Shen said is wrong! It is said that 'the ordinary mind is used to test the sage's wisdom'. Shooting and guarding are the six arts of a gentleman. Zhu Ziyunda, who is a party member, has the erudition of a beautiful saint, but he regrets it.
It has not become the name of one art. Reading the Analects of Confucius, it can be seen that the sage is good at all six arts. Zheng Xuan also interpreted that the sage is good at all six arts, and is not famous for one art."
"From this point of view, if you want to control yourself, you don't have to drive an ox-cart, but you can control the world's moral conditions. How can you be self-deprecating?"
After Shen Shixing listened patiently, he smiled and said: "Zheng Xuan and Zhu Zi discussed the remarks of the Daxiang Party members, but they differed in their praise and criticism. Duke Lanxi contradicted himself by saying that they both commented on the same comment."
Zhao Zhigao was at a loss for words. Shen Shixing laughed and said: "If you think of it as self-deprecating, 'Great Confucius' probably also means irony." As soon as these words came out, the Confucius Mansion Poetry Auditorium was like a hornet's nest, and the buzzing sound started loudly.
"How can I hold on? How can I hold on to control? How can I hold on to shooting? I can hold on to control." The preceding text of this sentence is that Daxiang party members commented on Confucius and said: "Great Confucius! He is learned but has no fame." Zheng Xuan believed that this sentence was
The interpretation of the words praising Confucius is that the Daxiang Party members believed that Confucius' hexagonal warrior had no outstanding items and no weaknesses; Zhu Xi believed that it was a pity that the Daxiang Party members regretted that although Confucius was knowledgeable, none of the six arts were outstanding and famous.
.Based on the context, Zhu Xi’s interpretation makes more sense, but it is contradictory to the phrase “Great is Confucius” in praising Confucius.
Today Shen Shixing put forward a new argument: the Daxiang Party members were making fun of them from beginning to end, which can be interpreted as the Daxiang Party members believed that Confucius was “knowledgeable in everything and lax in everything.” This kind of disrespectful behavior towards Zheng Xuan and Zhu Xi,
It directly hits everyone's pain point.
Shen Li, the minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, said loudly: "'Xing refers to the natural principles that humans receive; Tiandao refers to the essence of natural principles, which are actually the same principle.' This is the general outline of Zhu Xi's annotation of the Analects of Confucius. Anyone who deviates from this
Those who interpret the outline have gone astray. From this point of view, Master's words about temperament are the natural principles of personality. How can it be self-deprecating?"
After hearing this, all the ministers in the hall nodded in agreement. The emperor's face was serious, and he sat on the throne without commenting. The prince could not understand it at all, so he decisively left the group chat and looked around.
Shen Shixing still smiled and said: "How to interpret the unknown Shen Longjiang?"
Shen Li replied: "I think this is the result of the saint's humility when he hears the beauty of others."
Shen Shixing laughed and said, "Yes! Since someone who is 'Cheng Yiqian' can say it in a self-deprecating tone, why not?" Shen Li did not expect that Shen Shixing's angle was so tricky, and he was speechless for a moment.
Shen Shixing proudly faced the ministers and the Confucian scholars. Everyone saw that his clear face was flushed, and they all saw that he was very excited. For a moment, he was silent, and no one stood up to challenge him.
Shen Shixing took a long breath, bowed first and saluted the emperor, and then turned around and said: "Everyone, the Analects of Confucius must be read thoroughly with Zuo Zhuan and Guoyu to realize that the thoughts of the Confucius and the saints have their own origins. .For example, "There are four principles of a gentleman: he is respectful in his conduct, respectful in his conduct, beneficial to the people in his support, and righteous in his conduct to the people." The sage is talking about Zi Chan. When Zi Chan was in charge of the Zheng State , for Tian Ji, he composed Qiu Fu, cast punishment books, selected and employed talented people, and opened up the way of speech, and the sage was praised for it."
"However, when discussing the politics of Zichan in detail, Tianzhu only limited the land of honorable people; writing Qiu Fu only recognized private land; casting punishment books only promulgated the grammar; and other matters such as selecting talented people and opening up channels of expression were all related to the politics of subsequent dynasties. In comparison, it can be considered crude. If a saint had the knowledge of the Spring and Autumn Period, and lived in the Han Wenjing, Tang Zhenguan, or even the present day, what would the saint say? I'm afraid he would be 'unexpected'."
Here, Shen Shixing quoted from "Zhuangzi Tian Zifang": "The Master ran away from the dust, and looked back as if he were behind." Zhu Yijun smiled knowingly on the throne. Everyone present heard his comments about Confucius, and their ears and bodies were filled with excitement. It was wooden, but not a word contradicted it, because nothing Shen Shixing said did not stand on the truth.
After a pause, Shen Shixing looked at everyone and continued loudly: "That's why people today are not necessarily inferior to those in the past. What the saints follow as examples are also some principles of human nature that are universally applicable - if you force yourself to follow what the saints know in life, one will If there is a deep meaning in every word and deed, and if the glue pillars, drums, and harps are playing, then will our dynasty follow the teachings of the saints and restore the Zhouli Jingtian?!"
Finally, he summed it up with inspiration: "The people of China adhere to the way of Confucius and Mencius, which is the trend of the times. Before Dong Zhongshu, various schools of thought contended, and civilization was as brilliant as a flower. If Qin Dynasty had died in the second generation, the people of China today might have followed the method of law. Families are respected, and their temperaments are very different. However, the Tao, Dharma, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, etc. in the world may not necessarily lead to the same goal through different paths. Today, the Holy Emperor is on the throne and has "On Practice", "On Contradiction", "On Contradiction" "On Movement" explains the principles of the movement of the heaven, earth, and human beings. Its principles are profound but far-reaching, and its words are simple yet concise. It can be said to explore hidden things, and its hooks are profound and far-reaching. Why do you need to elaborate on the subtle words of the ancient sages at the expense of the insights of today's sages?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell silent. Liang Menglong's heart was alarmed, and his eyes when he looked at Shen Shixing changed - this is not a "trapped beast still fighting", this is a master's move, an antelope hangs its horns, the so-called person who speaks well but has endless meanings If so.
However, the Hua Dian, which was not noticed by all the ministers present, was discovered and exploited by Shen Shixing, and came with great dignity, carrying the lofty prestige brought by the emperor's more than ten years of hard work, it was like a dimensionality reduction blow. In a short period of time, Liang Menglong How can we break it? Furthermore, how can we dare to break it?
Among the people present, there are ministers and people. The ministers are the officials of the imperial court. The people are the scholars of the Confucian government. Although Shen Shixing's explanation completely subverts the current interpretation of the Analects, it is so shocking that it is even more shocking.
Goosebumps are rising on my back. But compared with his last two shocking sentences, who cares how he interprets the Analects?
Zhu Yijun, who was sitting on the throne, also sat up straight. He did not expect that after the two major cases of "theft excavation case" and "exposed post case", Shen Shixing became more frustrated and braver, and found a new way out of a new road. This theory throws out
, It goes without saying that any emperor with some political wisdom must give him strong support and encouragement.
More importantly, from the perspective of the interaction between the emperor and ministers, Shen Shixing had already indicated to the emperor his future positioning and development direction - and this direction was exactly what Zhu Yijun had in mind. After Feng Bao committed suicide, the court
A direction that lacks leadership.
For a moment, Zhu Yijun had a lot of thoughts.
Since time traveling, Zhu Yijun feels that the difficulty is not the acquisition of civil and martial arts - time traveling is the biggest obstacle. The biggest problem is that his own consciousness cannot become the consensus of the world, and he needs to change his thinking and conclusions into something that can be understood by contemporary people.
Only then can the policy be promoted and implemented.
Today, finally, after careful observation, in-depth thinking, and painful self-defense, an "ancient man" found the biggest pain point of Zhu Yijun, the time traveler, and hinted that he could become the person the emperor needed most.
What Shen Shixing subverted was not only the understanding of Confucianism by everyone present, but what he really subverted was his own "world view" and "methodology."
He did not refer to the "Three Treatises" as "the emperor's holy teachings" like others did, but by attacking Zheng Xuan and Zhu Xi's annotations, he showed the emperor that he had become a "believer" in Zhu Yijun's philosophical thought.
Zhu Yijun could not imagine how exhausted Shen Shixing was when thinking about these issues. What kind of "struggle" did he go through in the depths of his soul?
And now, as the emperor, how does he repay his first true "believer"?
