Chapter 437: There are heroes in Shandong
It doesn't matter what a person says, what matters is where the ass sits when he says it!
This is the simplest and most fundamental problem in political science, which is the same as when Wen Yanbo said to Emperor Zhao and Song that His Majesty shares the world with the scholars, not with the people.
Only those who have won the country unjustly will be careful to curry favor with the literati.
My old Zhu family has laid down the country by themselves, how to toss it, how to toss, not convinced?
Bear with it!
At this point, there is no longer any doubt.
Yang Ming Gong broke the most important problem, whether it was clearing the acres of land or moving to the Kong family, everything was from the position of the broadest masses of the people.
Therefore, these things are impeccable, and if anyone opposes them, most of them have bad intentions.
You must know that for so many years, Zhang Xuan, who advocates purity, and Wang Yue, who constantly attacks the old rules, are all thorns in the eyes of hundreds of officials, thorns in the flesh, and have been criticized and criticized.
Now it seems that the more severely he is scolded, the more it proves that he loves the people and has a good conscience, which is not at all the same as those literati and doctors who have a bad conscience.
Invisibly, Yang Minggong helped Wang Yue solve the biggest problem.
So after the first day of lectures, Wang Yue personally cooked and prepared a big meal for Yang Minggong.
Wang Yangming, who has always liked meat, actually refused.
"It's best to prepare something light, I still have something to clarify." Yang Minggong groaned slightly, and there was a trace of anxiety in his tone.
This made Wang Yue quite surprised, what could make Yang Minggong lose his temper? β
"Wang Yue, I'm old."
Wang Yangming sighed calmly: "What I said today is the truth from the bottom of my heart, I am not here to cater to you, to help you." Just talking nonsense, that's not Wang's approach. β
"It's just that if you don't break it, you can't stand it, I have already said that the heart is good, what is the right way in the world, I always have to talk about it, otherwise people's hearts are at a loss, there is nothing to follow, I am guilty."
In the face of Yang Minggong's opinion, Wang Yue was quite agreeable.
We're not just going to smash an old world, we're going to build a new one!
"Yang Minggong, I don't know what you're going to talk about tomorrow?"
Wang Yangming smiled lightly, "Everyone is a sage!" β
β¦β¦
It is not only this person from Yanzhou Mansion who pays attention to the lecture, take our Emperor Zhu as an example, he scratches his heart and liver, and he can't wait to go to Shandong in person to witness this crucial lecture.
"Huang Jin, I said, I want to retreat for a few days, can you find a way to help me block those people and let me go to Yanzhou Mansion for a walk? See the pomp and circumstance for yourself? β
Huang Jin rolled his eyelids, puffed out his fat cheeks, and said seriously: "Emperor, the battle of Dushan Fort is watched by the slave and maid for His Majesty, if His Majesty really wants to see it, let the slave and maid go, the slave and the maid are more suitable!" β
Zhu Houxi snorted coldly, dreaming!
I can't go, you want to eat fart!
"Tell the following, 800 miles of urgency, a wrong word, a missing word, I will severely punish you!" Zhu Houxi gritted his teeth and admonished fiercely......
The people below naturally didn't dare to slack off, in fact, there were dozens of fast horses coming out of Yanzhou Mansion...... There are even some pigeons flying in the sky.
People tried their best to understand Yang Minggong's proposition as quickly as possible, because they all understood that Da Ming might have to change because of this......
The content of Wang Yangming's lecture on the first day determined the foundation of future learning...... This foundation is not for a small group of scholars, not for the logical self-consistency of a small group.
Instead, look at the world, treat everyone's living life as a person, and learn to serve everyone!
Yang Minggong set the tone, and the most excited was the Taizhou School.
After all, among the various schools of learning in the world, they are the only ones who advocate that the people's daily use is the way, which is the closest to the people's livelihood, and it is close to becoming a prominent school.
It was only the next day that they realized that they were still too optimistic, because they were far from enough!
The class on the second day was much more lively than the first day, in addition to Yang Minggong, there was also an old carpenter Yang Tan, and there were many guests who lent money to Yang Tan.
Running away, or simply dying in the face of misfortune is not an act of bravery.
A craftsman can try his best to make up for it and face it calmly, this is courage!
And the guest was willing to give him a chance, in addition to agreeing to suspend the order, they also borrowed a sum of money to give the carpenter a comeback, this is where the righteousness lies!
The way to forgiveness is to understand each other, to be considerate of the difficulties, and to get through the difficulties together...... If everyone in the world is like this, this is the country of gentlemen, the rule of three generations......
Yang Minggong spoke generously, full of enthusiasm, most of the old Confucians in the audience left, but the ordinary people were several times more, the peddlers and pawns, and the ordinary citizens all came.
Standing on tiptoe and holding his neck high, just to be able to see the sages of the world.
can speak for ordinary people, can take an old carpenter as an example, instead of talking about emperors and generals, sages and ancients, the big guy suddenly felt too kind.
A must listen!
And in the blink of an eye, it was the third day.
This day's lesson is still diverging from the matter of Yang carpenter...... Children of the clan, arson and harm the people, what should I do? Should it be severely punished, or should it be open?
The clan is like this, but what about the Kong family?
What is Decree?
Under the whole world, can the decree be divided into three, six, nine and so on...... For the same sin, some people can be unharmed, and some people will have to serve their sentences and be punished?
Is there such a thing?
It seems to be happening all the time, taking Mongolia as an example, the lives of the southerners are only comparable to those of cattle, horses and livestock. As a result, there were a group of heroes who rose up together and rushed to the north to catch up with Dayuan......
From this point of view, in the face of the law, it is necessary to treat everyone equally.
This decree refers to the commission of a crime, but what about anything else?
What about the taxes and servitude of the imperial court?
What principles should be used to get along with people...... Is it also necessary to treat everyone equally......
The three-day lecture came to an abrupt end, and Yang Minggong did not give an answer...... Because he doesn't have a final answer either, it's something that everyone needs to think about, explore, and maybe never even have a final answer.
It's just that looking back at the three days of lectures, Wang Yang clearly tore apart the right to speak that had been monopolized by Confucian scholars and doctors!
There are many people who have a habit of asking what they have said, what the true meaning of the saints is, and whether they have ever talked about the foolish people...... Does it matter?
The person who comes up with the idea is like a chef, and the guests have different reviews of the taste, so do you want to criticize the guests and say that the guests insult their cooking skills?
Isn't it true that Confucianism should come up with more reasonable and popular arguments to convince more people? It is unreasonable to blame the people for not being able to do it.
If you have this kind of thought, it can only be said that you are not willing to really explore the needs of the people, but you are just standing tall and pointing out the country in your own small world in a sage mode......
The idea of learning must be good, the direction must be good, and the violation of the accepted rules must be punished! Even if you are a clan, even if you are a descendant of a saint, you are no exception!
This is what Yang Minggong has been saying in the past three days.
It doesn't sound complicated at all, and it's not even that lofty...... But it pulled down the face of the doctor firmly...... You are not a special group of people who are high above at all, everyone can be a sage, on the contrary, those scholars and doctors, if they are selfish, they are not as good as the most despicable villains!
β¦β¦
"Yang Minggong, you have worked hard."
Wang Yue bowed deeply, from the bottom of his heart.
Wang Yangming was calm, but his voice was slightly hoarse, and he was not so optimistic.
Speaking of which, this is also a clichΓ©, and there is nothing new. It's just that my identity is slightly different, and saying it may make a little bigger waves. But if you think that you can turn things around and change something because of this, it is that Wang is beyond his own strength. Wang Yangming's eyes were clear and his tone was calm.
"If you accumulate disadvantages for a hundred years, you can't start. This is a thousand-year-old disease...... Stick to the old ways, don't want to forge ahead, have the courage to fight, are afraid of foreign wars, and would rather deceive themselves than face real problems......" Wang Yangming shook his head when he said this.
"If I don't talk about it, if I keep talking, I'm afraid I'll doubt what use these struggles can be! When you're old, isn't it good to stay at home honestly? What is it for? β
Yang Minggong complained wildly, and Wang Yangming, who was personable on stage, were like two people.
Wang Yue knew that this was because Yang Minggong didn't treat him as an outsider, what he said was from his heart, and it was just his heart.
"Yang Minggong, do you want to know what the effect of your lecture is?"
Wang Yangming couldn't help but be curious, "You know? β
Wang Yue nodded, he immediately prepared a carriage, and quietly slipped out of Yanzhou Mansion with Wang Yangming, and they didn't go far before they arrived at a village or town.
At this moment, it was already afternoon, and in the threshing floor at the head of the village, many people gathered, all the people from ten miles and eight towns. Some of these people are dazed, some are happy, some are surprised, and some are cold...... The expressions variety.
After about a quarter of an hour, a young man came out of the village, twenty-five or sixteen, very majestic, with a ruddy face and a look of interest.
"Fellow villagers, I invite you to come over today, I want to tell you one thing, one big thing! A major event that concerns each and every one of you. As we all know, our Wangjiatian is also a big family. Now that the imperial court is about to clear the law, instead of forcing people to hand over the land, it is better to distribute it to the big guy in advance! β
"Lift it up!"
Soon someone came over with two boxes, and this one lifted the boxes open, and said loudly: "There is a box of field deeds here, and a box is an IOU owed by the big guy to our Wang family......" He glanced at the audience, and people's breathing became obviously heavy.
"Now, I'm going to burn it all! From now on, you don't owe the Wang family, and the past has been written off! β
After saying that, he really picked up the wooden box and threw it into the fire.
The young man sat down by the fire, enjoying the blazing heat, and a delicate bead of sweat appeared on his forehead, which looked shiny.
"Folks, things are burning, let's sit down and have a good chat, what should we do in the future!"
Wang Yue and Wang Yangming were both watching outside, and they wanted to know what kind of high arguments this little Haoqiang could have......
