Chapter 220: The Great Meeting, Opening the Door to Innovation
Zhang Yu calmly looked at Song Yingxing, who was slightly excited in front of him, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the case in life?" What is safe and stable cannot get out, how can it be successful if it is not dangerous? Now if the three of us don't take risks, will we be willing to be at the mercy of Han Yi? ”
Seeing what Song Yingxing was about to say, Song Yingsheng stretched out his hand to stop him, and said slowly: "Zhang Yu is not a stupid person, his calculations are the best among the three of us." You should know that, too, and since he's saying so now, let's hear what he wants to do. ”
Song Yingxing heard his eldest brother say this, and did not continue to say anything.
Zhang Yu smiled and said: "Now everyone is very suppressed, and the most suppressed is Feng Congwu and them, you should also know this." ”
"At this time, Feng Congwu is also a person who needs support, he has lectured in Guanzhong for twenty-five years, but what is the official position given to him by the imperial court?"
"Shang Baoqing, an official position of the fifth grade, and he has not done much to do, it is nothing more than the palm seal, talisman, and seal. But Feng Congwu still went, why is this? ”
"I am willing to use the heart of a criminal person to figure out people, no matter what the reason, it means that Feng Congwu wants to be this official. Since he wants to be this official, he has to change his own position. ”
"Now everyone in the officialdom knows that the Donglin Party is not treated well by His Majesty, and the big names have been beaten down, let alone people like Feng Congwu?"
"Although our relationship with Feng Congwu does not seem to be harmonious, as long as the interests are the same, there is nothing discordant. Now Han Yi needs support, but the people of the Donglin Party don't like him very much, so he will find us. What is our relationship with Feng Congwu? ”
"We are Guan Xue, and Feng Congwu is Guan Zhong's master, this is our relationship. As long as he wants, he will take refuge in Han Yi's disciples. When the time comes, the two of us will come together, and there is nothing wrong with that. ”
"As for learning, we are also a school of science; And Feng Congwu, who is known as the master of science and mind, has no obvious bias, why can't he recast the document and change the court? ”
"I'm afraid it's impossible to get Feng Congwu to convert to Guan Xue." Song Yingxing said with some hesitation.
"There's nothing to lose if you try, Feng Congwu is naturally best if he wants; It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to, and we have nothing to lose. If he agrees, it will be much better for us. Besides, no one asked him to convert to Guanxue, maybe we can create a new science together. ”
The Song brothers glanced at each other, their faces were full of disbelief, and they turned their heads to look at Zhang Yu, all of them were shocked.
"Why do you think of me like that?" Zhang Yu said with a smile: "Today, Han Yi brought us over, isn't this what we are doing?" Although he said so, we all knew what he meant in our hearts. ”
"At this time, we can use this matter to pull Feng Congwu in. I don't think many people can refuse this kind of thing. Since Feng Congwu is a master of science and mind, why can't he create a Feng school by himself? ”
"Then won't we all become his disciples and grandchildren?" Song Yingxing said with a little anger on his face.
"He is from Guanzhong, also known as Master Guanzhong, what knowledge is more suitable than Guanxue?" Zhang Yu said with a smile: "If it really doesn't work, we can call this new science Xinguanxue, and this matter can be discussed." ”
The two brothers of the Song family glanced at each other, and they actually felt that they had been persuaded by Zhang Yu.
Obviously, Zhang Yu's plan is feasible, and as for Zhang Yu's re-creation of a science, the two brothers of the Song family do not reject it.
There is no one who does not want to have his own doctrine, and this will not change at any time.
Although the two brothers of the Song family studied guanxue, it does not mean that they do not have their own ideas.
If you get the support of the first assistant of the cabinet, plus Feng Congwu and his three brothers, maybe he can really communicate something new.
When that time comes, the three of them will become the founders of a new school. In addition, in the officialdom, a new force can also be formed, and the status of the three of them will not be low.
"Do you think it can be done?" Song Yingsheng turned his head to look at Zhang Yu, his eyes flickering.
"I'll go find Feng Congwu." Zhang Yu said with a smile: "I think it will definitely be done, and he also knows what is the most advantageous choice." Now if you want to make a difference in the court, it is impossible not to change. You look at Xu Guangqi, you look at Huang Kezhang, there is only one way to die. ”
In the end, Song Yingsheng nodded and said, "Okay, then try it." ”
In this way, this matter was completely settled, and he said: "The three of us came to the capital, and we were even willing to enter the Royal Academy, just to show what we had learned in our chests and display our ambitions. If you are in the officialdom, it is better not to do it; If you want to do it, make it big, and if you can't do it, it's a big deal to go home. ”
Listened to the words of the eldest brother. Song Yingxing was the first to laugh and teased: "I really didn't expect that you would have such a time, big brother?" ”
Song Yingsheng didn't care about his younger brother's teasing, straightened his back, and said with a firm gaze: "Life is a lifetime, grass and trees are autumn." Since the eldest husband was born in this world, he naturally wants to fight, how can he retreat? Calm doesn't mean conservative. ”
"In that case, I'll take a trip tomorrow." Zhang Yu said with a smile.
Then the three of them walked out into the distance together, and their backs completely disappeared at the intersection.
In the West Garden.
Zhu Youxiao is still fishing, but today's luck doesn't seem to be very good, two fish bite, but they all quickly unhooked, resulting in Zhu Youxiao not catching a single fish today.
Originally, I was thinking of getting a fish to eat, but I couldn't get it.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Youxiao beckoned to Chen Hong who was not far away.
After Chen Hong walked to his side, Zhu Youxiao asked: "Are there still a lot of question books for the impeachment of Huang Kezhang in the past few days?" ”
Since the incident came out, there have been many people who impeached Huang Kezhang. Zhu Youxiao didn't read such a question book at all, because it didn't have much meaning at all.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Youxiao asked this question, in fact, to see what the general situation in the court was at present.
"Emperor Qi, there are still a lot of inscriptions on the impeachment of Huang Ge Lao these days." Chen Hong hurriedly said: "But it's different from before, these days, there are more people who agree with Huang Ge's old statement. ”
Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked, "Who is on the question book?" ”
"Emperor Qi, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the court are all on the inscription, and Li Zhizao, the household servant, is also on the inscription." After saying this, Chen Hong did not continue to speak.
His meaning is already obvious, that is, the biggest official in favor of the above question is Li Zhizao.
After hearing this. A smile appeared on Zhu Youxiao's face. That's kind of interesting.
He waved his hand and said, "Then let's prepare, tomorrow's court will handle this matter." ”
"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed.
After getting the news, Zhu Youxiao probably decided in his heart that this time things can be done.
He made up his mind to put the matter to a good end before sunset tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Zhu Youxiao got up very early, put on a dragon robe under the service of Empress Zhang, and after eating a little simply, he walked to the front with Chen Hong.
After Zhu Youxiao arrived at the place, the ministers had already been waiting here.
Looking at the ministers who visited the shrine, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "All of them are exempt." ”
After everyone stood up, Zhu Youxiao said slowly: "My health is not very good these days, and I have delayed a lot of things. Thanks to the intentions of the ministers, nothing major happened in the court. Ladies and gentlemen, Aiqing has done a good job. ”
"This is the duty of a minister." Han Yi, who was standing at the front, said loudly.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and continued: "I summoned all Aiqing here today because I want to ask your Aiqing for their opinions, that is, about the imperial imperial examination syllabus. ”
"This matter has been disturbing for so long, and it is indeed time for a result. The question book brought up by Huang Kezhang must be known to everyone. Among them, he was ready to replace the book "Mencius" with "Xunzi", which was opposed by the courtiers, and also approved by the courtiers. I want to hear the opinion of the listener. ”
After Zhu Youxiao's words came out, no one in the hall stood up directly to speak.
Not because they didn't want to say it, but because they didn't think about how to say it. This kind of thing itself is a matter of public justification and mother-in-law saying that mother-in-law is reasonable.
Mencius advocated sexual goodness, and Xunzi advocated sexual evil, which in itself are two extremes.
Again. Xunzi has both rituals and laws, and even the law is more important than etiquette. This can be seen from several students of Xunzi, who teach all the masters of the Legalists.
Now carry Xunzi out, what are you going to do?
Didn't the Ming Dynasty rule the world with Confucianism?
You take Xunzi now, is Daming going to change?
As long as Xunzi's ideas are reused, the Ming Dynasty will at least be a tyrant. How could anyone want to do such a thing?
As a Confucian disciple, this kind of thing should not be brought up.
But now there are people who propose to belittle Mencius and promote Xunzi, and the person who originally proposed this should be regarded as a heretic, but now there are people in the court who are willing to support it.
A lot of people don't understand this, so they don't think about what to say for a while.
At this time, someone was the first to rush forward.
Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look over and found that it was Cui Chengxiu from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he asked with a smile, "What does Cui Aiqing want to say?" ”
At this moment, Cui Chengxiu's heart was very bitter, but he knew that he couldn't stand up if he didn't stand up.
If you go back and let Gonggong Wei know that he didn't stand up at this time, then I'm afraid I will be miserable. So Cui Chengxiu could only stand up.
"Your Majesty, I think it's feasible." Cui Chengxiu said solemnly: "When did "Mencius" become the book of imperial examinations? In the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the book "Mencius" was listed as one of the subjects of the imperial examination for the first time, and then the book "Mencius" was upgraded to a Confucian classic. ”
Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty combined it with the Analects, the University, and the Mean into the "Four Books". In the first year of the Yuan Dynasty to Shun, Mencius was crowned as "Ya Shenggong", and later called "Ya Sheng", second only to Confucius. What can we see from this? ”
"After Mencius entered the imperial examination, the Northern Song Dynasty fell; After Mencius was listed as one of the four books by Zhu Xi, the Southern Song Dynasty perished. And the Yuan Dynasty made Mencius a holy prince, what is the Yuan Dynasty, that is the Mengyuan. ”
"I, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, expelled Meng Yuan, restored my Han family, and restored the solid land of China. Whether it is the Song Dynasty of Confucianism or the Yuan of Beasts, it cannot be a precedent for my Ming Dynasty. ”
"The minister thinks that it's time to set things right, so the minister thinks that "Xunzi" can be listed as one of the four books."
Cui Chengxiu's words caused an uproar all of a sudden, and countless people in the court glared at him angrily.
In this matter, what Cui Chengxiu said was too sensitive, and everyone knew that he was talking nonsense, but the problem is that you can't really argue with him from this angle.
After all, what Cui Chengxiu said was the truth, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, the Southern Song Dynasty was also destroyed, and then the Yuan Dynasty was also destroyed.
What topics are the most sensitive in the court?
Of course, it is the fall of the dynasty.
What question is the most feared for the royal family?
Of course, the dynasty fell.
Cui Chengxiu directly raised this matter to this level, and it could be heard from his words that he was criticizing Zhu Xi.
If this reason can be passed, "Xunzi" can replace "Mencius", then it is estimated that there will be other books to replace the other four books in the future, and even the reason has been found.
This is simply a knife cut on seven inches, this is a posture that directly wants to overthrow Zhu Xi! This is digging into the roots of science!
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Cui Chengxiu, and was impressed by him in his heart.
Sure enough, he was ruthless enough, and none of these people were given for nothing.
As long as they have their own support, they can really do anything. There is no position, and the shot is fast and accurate.
Zhu Youxiao didn't know how to evaluate this kind of courtier.
For himself, the emperor, this is a loyal minister, a proper loyal minister; But for people from the outside world, this kind of person is simply a traitor who demagogies the king, and he is not wronged at all when he pulls out Ling Chi.
To put it bluntly, it is still a matter of position.
At this time, Li Zhizao, the head of the household, also stood up. said directly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Cui Yushi said makes sense. I reopen the sun and the moon in the Ming Dynasty, so I naturally want to practice the law of my Ming Dynasty. A few years ago, the Ming Dynasty was not stable, so many places inherited the Yuan Dynasty system, which was a temporary law of Emperor Taizu for the stability of the Ming Dynasty. ”
"It's a temporary law, and it's a last resort. Now, the Ming Dynasty has been stabilized, and the minister thinks that it is time to practice the law of my Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Hou glanced at Li Zhizao, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, these people are really more shameless than the other.
According to Li Zhizao's statement, the Ming Dynasty has just been established, and it is not the Ming Dynasty that has been sitting on the throne for more than 200 years.
Li Zhizao said this, as if the Ming Dynasty had just ended the troubled times and had just dominated the world for many years.
But everyone present knows that the Ming Dynasty has been around for more than 200 years, and it is not surprising that it is not surprising that it is the end of the dynasty. How can there be a dynasty in this world that is not easy to come?
But no one dared to jump out and say it yet.
What do you want to say?
Do you want to say that the Ming Dynasty has been around for a long time?
It's the end of the dynasty?
Don't you die, right? That's not how death is done.
The most critical point is that Li Zhizao's statement directly opened another door, that is, the door of innovation in the Ming Dynasty.
What ancestral system and what system, that is the last resort method that was taken when the country was founded, and it is natural that it must be changed now.
If this reason is passed, then the door to innovation is opened.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Cui Chengxiu, and then at Li Zhizao, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It's really not easy for the emperor himself, and none of his subordinates are fuel-efficient lamps.
Just these people, it's almost fatal.
Originally, it was Huang Kezhang's imperial examination outline, but as a result, everyone was carrying private goods into it, and it was crazy to carry private goods.
It's really not polite to want to stuff your thoughts into this matter.
