Chapter 142: Why is it so?

Although the Gao Party is still there, the prestige of the Gao Party cannot be maintained only by the matter of bringing down Ling Yunyi.

The reason why Gao Pragmatic insisted on chasing Ling Yunyi when Guo Pu and Zhang Siwei did not approve of it this time, and had to beat the water dog, in addition to knowing that Zhu Yijun was in the rebellious period of youth and had a bit of a big temper, so he could only touch this factor, was mainly because he considered that Gao Dang had been too lacking in vitality for more than a year after losing Gao Gong, the real core figure.

At the time of Gao Gong's arrival, the reform measures were carried out in an orderly manner, which was both stable and resolute, and the results achieved were quite gratifying.

But as soon as Gao Gong died, the situation began to change. At the beginning, Guo Pu was still quite motivated, after all, when he took over, the overall situation of the imperial court could almost be said to be good, of course he also wanted to add icing on the cake and make the country go to the next level, but it didn't take long for him to find that something was wrong.

First of all, there began to be signs of lack of unity within the Gao Party. This is divided into two parts: one is that the descendants of Gao Gong before the centrifugal force, that is, the group with Gao Gong as the core, began to have their own plans, although it usually seems that Guo Pu's meaning can be dominant, but it is inevitable that sometimes there will be some procrastination and even Yang Feng Yin violation, which leads to Guo Pu's order to appear some "ineffective", very hard to make it out at most seven points to implement, and even in some cases only three points are left to have an effect.

Second, the Jin Party, with Zhang Siwei as its new leader, has its own faction within the Gao Party, and at the same time, many Shaanxi officials have swayed from side to side, and there is a feeling that they may be promoted to the Shaanxi Alliance and stand on their own at any time. Ma Ziqiang used to be the head of the Shaanxi Party, and after his death, the Shaanxi Party did not have a strong enough leader, and Ma Ziqiang's family has always been friendly with Zhang Siwei's family, so it is reasonable for Shaanxi Party people to favor Zhang Siwei.

This led to the formation of a de facto dualistic system within the Gao Party, Guo Pu has a "name", and he inherited Gao Gong's will and even position as an old friend, so the backbone of the Gao Party's descendants still nominally respects him as the leader, but these descendants are obviously reserved for their loyalty to him; Zhang Siwei's side is not bad, his descendant Jin Party is as stable as Mount Tai, and the Shaanxi Party is an ally, and at the same time he is recognized as the successor of Gao Gong, many Gao Party officials think that they will respect Zhang Siwei sooner or later anyway, so it is definitely better to vote late than early, and it is better to be a father.

In addition to the lack of unity within the Gao Party, Guo Pu also faced external difficulties. The external difficulties are also divided into two aspects: first, although the emperor's attitude towards him is also very respectful, it can still be seen that this respect is not as real as the original Gao Gong. This doesn't seem to be a big problem, but Guo Pu knows that once it reaches a critical moment, this is a fatal wound - the first emperor only said that "if you don't decide something, just ask Mr. Gao", but he didn't say ask Mr. Guo!

Xiao Gui Cao Sui, Xiao He and Cao Shen are of course a generation of famous faces, but who in the world would really think that Cao Shen can be with Xiao He?

Today's situation is similar, Gao Gong is like Xiao He, and he Guo Pu is like Cao Shen. The merits of others are obvious, not to mention the honor after death, they are all "upright"! If others have any doubts, they can only swallow them in their stomachs and hold them, otherwise they will be against the officials of the world - has Li Dongyang never done a wrong thing in his life? But after he became Li Wenzhenggong, who else in the world dared to say that he was not?

For the deceased, for the venerable. People are not only the deceased, but also the venerable - they are all respected to the extreme of Wenchen, so naturally it is not good to be good, what else is there to say?

The trouble with Guo Pu is that if he wants to win the same respect as Gao Gong, his merits will be even worse than Gao Gong, but this can't be done at all - not to mention ability, at least the people under his hands are far less obedient than in the Gao Gong era!

If Guo Pu was twenty years younger, he might still have the motivation to compete, but he is actually older than Gao Gong, and in two or three years, it will be time to become a leader, can he still fight?

So Guo Pu could only retreat to the second, as long as the emperor could still have such superficial respect as he was now, and the others should not be forced.

And except for the emperor, the rest is the relationship with the study of the heart.

Later generations of academic circles have a view that Shixue and Xinxue are both different schools in Chinese Confucian culture, and the spiritual core of Shixue is to worship the truth and ignore the false, seek truth from facts, and apply it to the world. The study of mind is an academic school in the Song and Ming dynasties that advocates the human mind as the origin of all things in the universe. There are many and more one-size-fits-all views in the academic circles that there is both a blend and a divergence between practical learning and mental science.

There are even many scholars who often discuss the question of whether the study of mind should also be counted as a kind of practical science. Because the original intention of Lu Jiuyuan and Wang Yangming to create the study of mind is actually to worship the truth and dismiss the hypocrisy and promote the moral practice of society.

But in fact, this statement is too theoretical, and ignores the actual trend of the development of psychology, because in the process of the development of psychology, the phenomenon of backfiring soon appeared, that is, the descendants of psychology have entered the "vain" road of empty talk about rationality and inpractical results.

Huang Zongxi later pointed out: "The study of Confucianism has passed through heaven and earth, and later generations will take the "Quotations" as the end, and only attach one or two questions to the Yiluo Gate, and then turn sideways to the ranks of Confucianism, and deceive the world under his name.

Those who govern wealth and endowment are aimed at accumulation; Those who open the edge and defend the edge are coarse; Those who read and write are discouraged by playthings; Those who pay attention to political affairs are regarded as lay officials.

In vain, the people stand on the pole, the heaven and the earth stand on the heart, and the world is bound by the broad theory of peace. Once there is a doctor's worries, when the day of serving the country, he will open his mouth, like sitting in the clouds. The way of the world is like mud and rot, so that the monks think that meritorious service and career building is not the way of the Confucians. ”

And Wang Fuzhi said it more bluntly: "Wang's disciples...... Abolish practical learning, worship emptiness, contempt for rules, wanton, and use the mind to know without good and evil, and tend to enter the realm of unscrupulousness. "And the psychology that has gone astray, it's really like that.

The battle between practice and mind was not only in the era of Huang Zongxi and Wang Fuzhi, what Guo Pu is facing now is actually a scene of the battle between practice and mind, and this scene must at least start from the first battle between Gao Gong and Xu Jie!

Although Xu Jie's career has long been known, Xu Jie's disciples are still there, and the fans of Xinxue are still there! After being suppressed by Gao Gong's imperial power for so long, he finally boiled Gao Gong to death, can he still find a way to save the situation?

Therefore, as soon as Gao Gong died, many places began to slack off on the new policy, some officials were resisting openly and secretly, and even some officials simply and unmistakably expressed their opposition!

A lot of Guo Pu's energy has been contained in these waves of opposition, and to a certain extent, he has exhausted himself in order to stabilize the overall situation of the Gao Party in this year!

Why did Gao Pragmatic kill Ling Yunyi?

How can it be so simple as venting evil anger!
