Chapter 103 'PsychologyNeo-Confucianism' (asking for the first order, for the alliance leader Sp treasure
Chapter 103 "Psychology·Psychology" (please order for the first time, add 12 updates for the leader Sp Bao'er)
Yang Tinghe imagined the emperor's reaction after borrowing Qian Ning and doing something about Jiang Bin's case.
He originally felt that as long as he had the determination to leave the court, that would be enough to fulfill his responsibilities.
The emperor did not allow him to preside over the compilation of "The Great Ming Dynasty Zhongrenjian". He did not think that the emperor was afraid of his Spring and Autumn Period brushwork, but it made him feel very ashamed: This seemed to be a decision to keep him in the cabinet. Could it be that he was advised to stay?
Isn't it just a gesture?
But Wang Shouren?
When the arrangements for the first banquet came out on the second day of next month, Yang Tinghe became even more confused.
We just had a big quarrel, are we going to quarrel with him again?
But the new law, the Xinxue... isn't this just a repeat of what happened before Xining's reform?
Yang Tinghe really didn't want to get involved in these things anymore, but as a scholar of Neo-Confucianism and the most important civil servant in the court, how could he not stand up and say something?
Even if he becomes an official, he will still have an identity that he will follow for the rest of his life: a scholar of Neo-Confucianism.
From the perspective of Yang Ting and his own intellectual tendencies, he was also very uncomfortable with Wang Shouren's desire to lecture the emperor on the classics.
If Wang Shouren just stood there, it would be okay.
But telling the meaning of the scriptures to the emperor? What did I talk about on the second day of May?
"Emperor Fu Wei uses the qualifications of a saint to teach the way of a saint, and he is in the position of practicing the way. He also exercises the power of worshiping the heaven and the earth to praise, educate, restore the ancient peace, and eliminate the heretical and late learning."
You said "I would like to be taught", what are you doing now?
The old man's blood pressure was getting higher and he suddenly felt that he couldn't just leave like this.
With him gone, who will resist the intellectual impact of Wang Shouren, the successor of the spiritual science?
This is not to say that he, Yang Tinghe, is the leader and the strongest Neo-Confucian orthodoxy, but because Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism has long been an official school and is inseparable from politics.
The next day after the court, Yang Tinghe stood up and stood up in line: "Your Majesty, I would like to have a solo duel."
Jiang Mian suddenly changed color.
As mentioned before, this kind of drama in which cabinet ministers play solo is usually only aimed at political opponents of the same level.
Now that Liang Chu has left, and Yang Tinghe has just shown his retreat for a few days, is he planning to attack Wang Qiong and the others again without warning?
Impossible, he, Jiang Mian, has a greater chance of being targeted.
Zhu Houcong looked at Yang Tinghe, nodded and said, "Go to Qianqing Palace."
…
Jiang Mianchun's current status is not stable and he is worried about gains and losses.
After Yang Tinghe left, almost everyone figured it out: Yang Tinghe went here because of Wang Shouren.
As a veteran of four dynasties, there are things that cannot be let go and things that have to be dealt with.
Is this considered a sneak attack by His Majesty? This time, Yang Tinghe was very passive.
Previously, everyone just thought: His Majesty summoned Wang Shouren to Beijing because of his relationship with Wang Qiong and because Wang Shouren was indeed talented. The emperor may also be interested in Wang Shouren's knowledge, but the main reason why Wang Shouren came to Beijing was Chen Hao
The chaos and success.
It would be better now, just without being recommended by the Hanlin Academy, and appoint him to give lectures at the next sutra banquet before he arrives in the capital.
Under the huge shock that Liang Chu resigned and Wang Qiong and others remained in office, this imperial edict went surprisingly smoothly.
The emperor did not send out factory guards, nor did he ask the Three Law Division to thoroughly investigate the ministers. This was of some use after all. No one wanted to offend the emperor again at this time.
What's more, psychology and Neo-Confucianism originally came from the same family, and they are all Confucianism.
At this time, Wang Shouren was on his way to the capital from Tongzhou, right?
But the imperial edict has been issued, what does Yang Tinghe want to do?
In the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Liu Long's stress reaction came.
His Majesty VS Yang Tinghe.
When was there not a time when sparks flew and a Kazakh person stood out?
He admired Yan Song.
In front of his mentor, who had actually broken up with him, Yan Song, who was now famous for being "bad", remained calm as usual, just waiting to put pen to paper.
Yang Tinghe suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Today’s talk about daily life and official affairs is called recording the emperor’s words and deeds, but it’s impossible to just record the emperor’s words, right?
Then who was the emperor speaking to? How did he get this person right?
Now, Wang Shouren has not come yet, but Yang Tinghe is here today to try to persuade the emperor to stay away from Xinxue.
During the Song Dynasty, there was the Ehu Debate, in which at least two academic leaders met face to face to debate scriptures.
What about today? Did he speak to the emperor alone, or did he use his position as chief minister (his resignation was unsuccessful) to "bully" a certain Jiangxi governor, Zuo Qiandu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
But there was also a very smart student who was recording daily notes, and his superficial emotions were torn apart by his words: What kind of Spring and Autumn calligraphy would Yan Song use in that little notebook?
"Mr. Ge, what's the matter that requires me to answer alone?" Zhu Houcong spoke first.
Yang Tinghe looked at him with complicated eyes: Have you already noticed that Yan Song is a rebellious guy, so he became the daily official?
At this moment, he couldn't think too much. For the sake of upright knowledge, Yang Tinghe bowed solemnly and respectfully: "Your Majesty! The case of Qian Ning, Jiang Bin and other traitors has been closed. Your Majesty is truly a tolerant emperor. He reads memorials every day, and talks about them at banquets every day. Don't stop, your majesty is as studious and diligent as the ancient sages."
Zhu Houcong was amused: "Mr. Ge, you have been angry with me, and I have been angry with you. It has been more than a month since we arrived in Beijing, and we have been dealing with each other for such a long time. How about I say a few words from my heart first?"
Yang Tinghe suddenly faced Zhu Houcong's naturally frank and gentle tone, and felt a sense of shame and warmth in his heart.
I just don’t know what kind of medicine he is selling in his gourd.
"I am all ears to listen..."
Zhu Houcong smiled, and then sighed again: "The young man is full of passion, and he has never traveled thousands of miles while living in a fiefdom. His ambitions are far higher than those of ordinary people. Or it is just a joke. If the emperor is like this, he has to guard against it. You are worried that I will cause trouble because I don’t understand, because I am reckless, because I am passionate and emotional. You have to take responsibility because you are in your position and always advise me. I understand all these things. Which wise minister does not want the emperor to treat him Are you both respectful and happy? I know all your difficulties."
Both Yan Song and Liu Long couldn't help but look at him sideways.
This is truly a heart-to-heart talk, and it will definitely be a good story if recorded in a daily note.
Yang Tinghe was naturally emotional for a moment, and his voice was choked with sobs: "Your Majesty is so considerate of me, I am really... ashamed..."
"It's just as difficult for me." Zhu Houxuan said leisurely, "There have been so many things in the past month or so. I thought that the ministers had already got to know me a little bit. They knew that I was not a confused young man, and they also knew that I was not a young man.
I am an impetuous emperor who does not understand the general situation. Since the disaster at the Rijing Sect was safe, I did not delve into it. I also always put caution first when reviewing reports from the imperial court. But even so, I want to wait until Fei Qing for many important matters.
I waited until people arrived in Beijing to listen to the opinions, and asked me about policy issues that still need to be considered in detail, and this is how it happened."
Yang Tinghe carefully recalled the emperor's behavior this month and knew that this was indeed the case, so he knelt down and lowered his head in shame - whether he was sincere or not.
"After all, it's because I'm too young and the time I've been sitting on the throne is too short." Zhu Houcong asked him to get up and sit down. "You guys need to get to know me and discuss matters as they happen. The matter will be over as it is. Mr. Ge, too.
You don’t need to think too much, even the glossary has been handed over. This is also good. The more turmoil between the monarch and his ministers, the faster they will understand each other. So it is really unnecessary for Mr. Ge to praise me like that when he comes up.
I won’t be carried away by some sweet words, nor will I be carried away by a moment of anger.”
He looked at Yang Tinghe's extremely complicated eyes and smiled naturally: "It's difficult for everyone. You can never see a situation where the emperor is benevolent and the people are upright. Wang Dehua and the others can never take shortcuts without being criticized. I
We can never expect all my ministers to be like Mr. Yu. In fact, I am very sensible, calm and realistic. There are many state affairs, and the important responsibilities are not only on my shoulders, but also on my cabinet ministers, Jiu Qing and other important ministers. We might as well directly communicate with each other.
Please, speak simply."
"...I understand. I really admire His Majesty's broad-mindedness."
"Is it because of Wang Shouren's lectures?" Zhu Houhuang pointed out with a smile, and then said, "I know that the Hanlin Academy did not elect and Wang Shouren never entered the Hanlin Academy. The process of this edict is not complete, and the Sutra banquet is not trivial. Mr. Ge
, is there something I haven’t considered thoroughly? Mr. Ge, don’t mince words!”
He blocked all of Yang Tinghe's reasons. Yang Tinghe thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty is very eager to learn, which is a blessing to the Ming Dynasty. Wang Shouren's talents and achievements are also deeply admired by the veterans. It's just a matter of heart."
But they have gone astray in the way of learning, abandoning the principles of nature and ignoring the principles of nature, taking selfish motives and human desires as granted. If we continue on this path, those with extraordinary talents may be able to find the right principles, but how many of these unworldly wise and talented people are there?"
"The few points Your Majesty just mentioned are all side details. Now Your Majesty is confused and seeks answers from Xinxue. I'm afraid that many people in the world who are lucky enough to get into the world will fake Xinxuexue to plan their background and change their career. Then they will follow their heart's desires and advance day by day.
On the grounds of daily newness, he indulges in others' desires but does not know how to restrain himself, does not seek the best principles, and does not follow the etiquette. If the learning of the mind is revealed, it may cause a new disaster for the Ming Dynasty!"
"This disaster is so great. I am not just being alarmist. Today I also stated my true feelings: Compared with this disaster, using the wrong people at the wrong time and implementing the wrong new laws will do far less harm than it does! The second and third generations
From now on, the world will be filled with people who are driven by selfish desires, unfaithful and unfilial, and will have no country and no family!"
This time, Yang Tinghe neither cried bitterly nor spoke earnestly, and spoke much more calmly - at least it was an explanation for why he wanted to drive away Wang Qiong and others for borrowing Qian Ning and Jiang Bin's case.
Zhu Houcong asked while thinking: "I am just interested and want to hear his opinions. How can it be so harmful?"
He understood one thing: the Sutra Feast only had a greater impact, but essentially it was the emperor's interest in the study of mind that would trigger a chain reaction.
"The King of Wu is a good swordsman, but the people have many scars. The King of Chu has a thin waist, and many people starve to death in the palace." Yang Tinghe said seriously, "Your Majesty is the king of a country, and every word and deed of your Majesty will be carefully scrutinized by your subjects. Your Majesty
Such hobbies and interests are the shortcuts to the south in the eyes of those who are lucky enough to get into the profession. If the mind-study enters the palace and shows its position with heretical and unscientific knowledge, all the scholars in the world will be at a loss. Your Majesty knows this!"
"In the Spring and Autumn Period, hundreds of schools of thought contended, but no one benefited? What's more, the study of mind also originated from Neo-Confucianism."
"After the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes fought for hegemony, with endless conquests, and the people suffered." Yang Tinghe showed his rich experience in debate, "The Qin Dynasty burned books and harassed Confucianism, and the second generation died; in the Han Dynasty, hundreds of schools of thought were deposed and Confucianism was the only one, and the Han Dynasty was finally created.
Since the imperial examination, talented people have emerged in large numbers in the Tang and Song Dynasties. The profound knowledge of the sages Cheng and Zhu has directly matched the two sages of Confucius and Mencius. The foundation of our Ming Dynasty’s more than 100 years of learning, scientific career and even etiquette is truly laid here! Your Majesty, now
If there is a dispute over knowledge, it will shake the foundation of one of the most dangerous pillars of our Ming Dynasty!"
Yang Tinghe first talked about the disadvantages of mind-based learning: you have to be very talented, then you may be able to follow this path.
However, most of the people in the world are stupid or careless people. In the future, the most likely situation will be to use this banner to pursue their selfish desires.
The most important thing is that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the vast majority of officials and students for more than a hundred years have studied and studied under the framework of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism and followed the teachings of etiquette and law.
What a huge interest group must these people be?
Now, if the emperor has a signal to promote Xinxue, first of all, it will be the way out for the younger generations of these famous families with family origins, and secondly, the harm caused by the conflict between the two schools of thought.
Zhu Houcong was not surprised by Yang Tinghe's conservative tendencies, but he was surprised that he would oppose it so fiercely from the beginning, and the reasons were very good.
This problem does exist in the study of mind, and this situation did arise after the study of mind became mainstream in the late Ming Dynasty.
But just right.
Zhu Houcong's purpose was not to study Confucianism and suppress Neo-Confucianism. He would not do anything to dig up his own foundation.
He had another purpose in directing this scene. For him, it was natural for him to draw on each other's strengths from a perspective beyond theirs, and even to refine some new developments in the end.
Can’t the emperor be “profound in knowledge”?
So Zhu Houcong pretended to think carefully and said: "What Mr. Ge said is reasonable. But I am at the stage of studying and improving my knowledge. I still want to hear my insights. Mr. Ge does not need to worry that I will go astray.
Or maybe I am using the debate between psychology and neo-Confucianism to do something. Although I dare not say that I am the most intelligent and talented person in the world as mentioned by Mr. Ge, I do not think I am stupid. What’s more, I have Mr. Ge’s teachings around me, don’t you think so?”
Yang Tinghe opened his mouth, unable to refute for a while.
...Don't tell me, you are really a bit of a talented person. I've fallen into your hands several times.
Listen to what you mean, are you really prepared to keep yourself in the cabinet?
"...Your Majesty wants to hear the insights from the heart. Your Majesty would like to ask you to speak more directly and simply. Then I will speak directly." He made up his mind and said, "I dare to ask your Majesty to also serve as a lecturer at the second day of the lunar month.
Officer. At that time, I and Wang Shouren will each lecture on the meaning of the scriptures. If your majesty is willing to verify each other, I and Wang Shouren will imitate the sages and have another debate on Neo-Confucianism and Psychology. Your majesty's confusion will be solved!"
Zhu Houcong smiled with a smile on his face: "The elder's words are very kind, so it's settled. On the second day of the next month, I will only lecture on scriptures, not history. I will listen attentively!"
Yang Tinghe achieved his goal, but when Xie En left Dongnuang Pavilion, looking at the emperor's expression of sincere joy, he felt something was wrong.
Something is very wrong.
It seemed... like I had stepped into a trap.
Naturally, monarchs and ministers who have a "heart-to-heart" relationship on the surface will not simply believe what the other party says.
It has long been a habit for Yang Tinghe to figure out the emperor's intentions.
It was not that he did not expect the emperor's intention to use this to involve his energy, but he still suspected that the emperor would raise his heart to suppress Neo-Confucianism, occupy the magpie's nest, and then use his heart to imitate his disciples to implement the new method.
The imperial edict has been issued, and Wang Shouren is bound to appear at at least this Sutra banquet.
Yang Tinghe's most pragmatic purpose was to let him go only once, and to completely defeat him this time.
It's just that Wang Shouren, who had many holes in his previous knowledge and had just recently found a patchwork of the so-called "conscience" theory, can he still argue in this debate between Neo-Confucianism and Psychology that has been decided for hundreds of years?
What new ideas can come up that can even defeat you in arguments?
Yang Ting and a hundred others didn't believe it.
He has confidence in his own knowledge!
Is the emperor planning to cheat on the favored gang?
Yang Tinghe, whose symptoms worsened from Zhengde PTSD to Jiajing PTSD, returned to Wenyuan Pavilion with various worries, while Zhu Houcong continued to review the answers to the imperial examination questions submitted by the counselors in Beijing one after another.
At this moment, Wang Shouren had just arrived outside Beijing.
Wang Qiong specially came out of the city to greet him. Although Wang Qiong was under a lot of criticism at the moment, although he was not on duty yet, and although Wang Shouren came to Beijing in the name of expressing his merits, the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, where he was an official, just sent people out of the city to greet him.
.
But now, the top leaders of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate plus Yuan Zonggao are all, in theory, grasshoppers on a rope.
Because Yang Tinghe wanted a cleaner court, and because of the emperor's vigorous protection, the court formed a distinct pattern.
Now, people who are disrupting this pattern are arriving one after another.
Before the Chenhao Rebellion's discussion of merits had begun, Wang Qiong said directly: "Bo'an, on the second day of next month, Yang Jiefu is going to debate the meaning of the scriptures with you at the scripture banquet!"
Wang Shouren was stunned for only a moment, and then he smiled casually and said: "Then let's argue."
"Are you sure?" Wang Qiong was a little nervous.
"How can we be confident? Just try your best." Wang Shouren said modestly, "Although I dare not say victory, I will not lose easily."
"Bo'an, I'm afraid you are the one who can decide the outcome of the current situation in the court! Chen Hao's chaos and meritorious deeds are related to the ministers and generals and the resettlement of the three major camps. It is also related to the merits and demerits of you and me. It is also related to many inner court officials.
The old minister is in his old age. No matter what, they cannot find any flaws in your knowledge! I have heard that Mao Ji and others are discussing privately, and I would like to ask your majesty to confer you as a distinguished minister!"
Wang Shouren's face changed slightly.
Once he became a noble minister and had a title, he became a warrior in the eyes of many people.
But there is a huge difference in image between a master of learning and a martial artist.
How does this help him promote the study of mind?
As for the status of honorable ministers in the court, Wang Shouren gave little thought to it.
Wang Qiong told him the news just to stimulate him.
In the eyes of "pragmatists" like Wang Qiong, for most people, the practical use of knowledge is only before taking the imperial examination and becoming an official.
Just don’t understand the exam.
But within the imperial court and even within the emperor's ruling framework, academic schools were nothing more than tools.
"When His Majesty first ascended the throne, one of the first few memorials he approved and returned was yours, Wang Bo'an!" Wang Qiong encouraged, "I'm going to ask you for advice on the scriptures before I even enter the capital. This time, I must take good care of it.
Opportunity! Let’s go and enter the city first. There will be a banquet in my house tonight, and I will explain it to you in detail!”
Wang Shouren, who had just arrived in Beijing, became the new protagonist at the center of the stage. Playing opposite him was Yang Tinghe, the chief minister of the cabinet.
The courtiers all over the court seemed to be divided into two sides and became cheering teams waving flags and shouting.
Nearly three hundred and fifty years after Zhu Lu's debate on Neo-Confucianism and Psychology at the Ehu meeting, there was another debate at the Wenhua Hall.
On the second day of June, "Psychology" will be performed on time.
They were really arguing about psychology and Neo-Confucianism, while Zhu Houcong was playing about psychology.
Today’s total is 22,000 words! Although there are only 7 chapters, I’m not lying!
