Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Hai Jui is already old and confused.

But in Zhu Youxiao's view, it was Hai Rui who was the most sober at this time. This courtier who is all for the Ming Dynasty, at this age, he has already seen through it, and it is not enough to rule the world without heavy canons.

The Ming Dynasty has reached the autumn of survival, rotten to the roots, and the people are already miserable.

He may have thought of many ways, but in the end, Hai Rui did not find a suitable way.

The pressure on the people is enormous, and they are on the verge of collapse. In such a situation, Hai Rui knew that if he didn't do something, Da Ming really couldn't hold on.

The only way he could think of to alleviate this situation was to kill corrupt officials and restore the criminal law of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang: anyone who embezzled more than 80 yuan would be directly stripped of his skin and grass.

But if he really does this, Daming estimates that Hai Rui will only be left as an official. For no other reason, everyone else would have been beheaded.

For Hai Rui, Zhu Youxiao admires it. Whether it is Hai Jui's almost strict incorruptibility, or because of his foresight.

In comparison, Yang Lian's incorruptible officials looked like a joke at first.

How much did Hai Jui do?

What did Yang Lian do?

Sighing softly, Zhu Youxiao took his thoughts back. He knew that Chen Kedao would not be Hai Rui.

Although both people are lifters, the two people are different.

Looking at Chen Kedao, Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth and asked, "Are you Li Zhen's student?" ”

Listening to Zhu Youxiao's question, Chen Youdao was stunned.

In fact, all the way, Chen Kedao was thinking, what did His Majesty summon him to Beijing for?

He is just a man, he has no reputation, and he has never heard of the princes, what is His Majesty summoning him to do?

Although he also asked the people of Jinyiwei, those people were like stuffy gourds, and they didn't say anything.

Now after listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Chen Kedao has some ideas, it turned out to be for his teacher.

However, Chen Kedao has another kind of worry, that is, His Majesty let himself enter Beijing, not to kill himself, right?

How unpopular his teacher's doctrine is, Chen Kedao knows it very well in his heart. How the teacher died back then, Chen Kedao still remembers it vividly.

If someone slanders himself in front of His Majesty, then it is estimated that he will be more unlucky this time.

However, the matter has come to this point, and Chen Kedao is also determined to defend his Taoism.

Your own teacher can snatch the knife that shaves her head and cut her throat to death, and you can't embarrass the teacher yourself.

Thinking of this, Chen Kedao bowed down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the student is indeed the teacher's disciple. The student had followed the teacher for many years and was always by his side. ”

After listening to Chen Kedao's words, Zhu Youxiao nodded lightly and said slowly: "Then tell me about your teacher's doctrine." ”

Chen Youdao was stunned for a moment, did Your Majesty let him talk about the teacher's doctrine?

You must know that all along, the teacher's doctrine has not been accepted by the mainstream. Especially for the emperor, the doctrine of the teacher was more like a great rebellion.

"What? You've been with your teacher for so many years, haven't you learned anything? Seeing that Chen Kedao didn't speak, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but speak.

"Your Majesty, the students were a little excited, and they didn't know where to start for a while." Chen Kedao said respectfully: "I hope Your Majesty will forgive you." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, indicating that he understood.

Glancing at Chen Kedao, Zhu Youxiao said: "Then go back and prepare, as for what you want to talk about, it is better to start with your teacher's book burning." ”

"Burning Books" is a collection of works written by Li Zhen, written in the 18th year of Wanli (1590) at the age of 64.

"Book Burning", also known as "Li's Book Burning", consists of 6 volumes.

The book's bold critique of Confucianism and Cheng Zhu Lixue shows an anti-traditional, anti-authority, and anti-dogmatic spirit.

Chen Kedao never thought that His Majesty summoned him to Beijing, not only to kill his own head, but to let himself give him a lecture.

It's just a lecture, and I actually let myself talk about the teacher's book burning.

What is written in the book burning?

Chen Kedao couldn't be clearer.

For Chen Kedao, he was very worried that he would be pulled out and cut by the emperor while he was talking.

But he knew he couldn't say no.

But not because of the emperor's persecution, but because he wanted to prove it for his teacher, and at the same time for himself.

You must know that because of his status as a teacher and student over the years, he has not had a very good life.

It is the duty of a student to promote the scholarship of a teacher, even if it is to dedicate oneself to it.

Chen Kedao was excited at this time.

He knew that this opportunity was in front of him.

This is an opportunity to promote the teachings of one's own teacher, and once the teacher's doctrine is liked by the emperor, then the teacher will be famous for eternity. I will go down in history myself!

At this moment, Chen Kedao thought of a person, and this person was Dong Zhongshu.

In the first year of Emperor Yuanguang of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to solicit statecraft, and Dong Zhongshu combined Confucianism with the needs of society at that time in the famous "Countermeasures for Promoting Virtue", and absorbed the theories of other schools of thought to create a new ideological system with Confucianism as the core, which was deeply appreciated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

This ideological system systematically put forward the theories of "heaven and man induction" and "great unification" and the propositions that "all those who are not in the six arts and the art of Confucius should not be allowed to advance together" and "depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone".

Since then, the roots of Huang Lao's learning have been eliminated, and Confucianism has prospered.

His teacher is a disciple of Confucianism, why can't the line of Xinxue be cut off from the root of Cheng Zhu's science?

As long as he can come up with a set of theories that His Majesty likes like Dong Zhongshu, then he will be able to cut off the roots of Huang Laozhi's learning like Dong Zhongshu.

Using the teacher's doctrine to cut off the roots of Cheng Zhu's science, thinking of this, Chen Kedao couldn't suppress his excitement.

For this goal, even if you die, you will not hesitate!

Thinking of this, Chen Kedao knelt directly on the ground, "Your Majesty rest assured." After the students go back, they must prepare carefully and never let His Majesty down. ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled lightly, waved his hand and said, "It's also that I'm too anxious." You rushed all the way to the capital, and you should really rest and prepare. ”

After speaking, Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at Chen Hong, and directly ordered: "Let Jinyiwei use dim sum." ”

"The slave understands." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed.

"Alright, you can stand back and rest. When you're ready, I'll go into the palace and give me a lecture. Zhu Youxiao smiled and waved his hand, his tone was gentle and soft, and at the same time there was a little expectation. He wants Chen Kedao to know that I am optimistic about you, and you have to work hard.

"Student, Thank You, Your Majesty." After Chen Kedao saluted respectfully, he bowed and retreated.

Looking at Chen Kedao's back, Zhu Youxiao sighed softly.

This Chen Kedao looks pretty good. Of course, it must be much worse than his teacher.

If Li Zhen was standing in front of him at this time, it is estimated that he would have been talking eloquently.
