Chapter 142: Old Man Hu Ming
The power of a yamen is related to the scope of the jurisdiction of the yamen, and it is also related to who is the chief official of the yamen.
A powerful yamen has a cowardly chief official, and the entire yamen is aggrieved.
A yamen with not so much power has a chief official who is coaxed, and the entire yamen can be coaxed.
Now there is Bao Zheng in charge of Kaifeng Mansion, which is a yamen that is not so powerful in Bianliang City, but now it can also walk sideways in Bianliang City, regardless of what Imperial City Division and Privy Council you are. Whoever you want to be investigated, whoever you want to be arrested, you can arrest whoever you want.
Defy? If you don't accept it, spray it in front of the emperor, you can spray Bao Zheng, and you are considered to be capable. In the time of Renzong, there were many people who sprayed with Bao Zheng, and Bao Zheng didn't care how many products he was, and he didn't care how many products the other party was, so he sprayed it if he was not satisfied. Then there are countless tragic people, such as Song Zhen, who was still the prime minister a few years ago, was repeatedly sprayed down by Bao Zheng, and Bao Zheng at that time was only a Zhiyuan, from the fourth grade.
The Imperial Court and the Imperial Historical Observatory, the two major official yamen of the Northern Song Dynasty, are the troll base, the Imperial Court is about a grade lower than the Imperial Historical Observatory, Bao Zheng is the leader of the trolls, not only spraying alone, but also taking a group of younger brothers of the Imperial Court to spray all over the court, spraying down countless bigwigs.
can make an inappropriate analogy, Bao Zheng is the first troll in the Great Song Dynasty, an official, don't give him a handle, but if you get a little handle, Bao Zheng can chatter and spray you home.
This is the reason why Renzong arranged Bao Zheng in Kaifeng Mansion.
Behind Bao Zheng, there was a fox and a fake tiger Gan Qi, with the power of the first troll in the Great Song Dynasty, he asked He Hai to take a few messengers to Huikeya for a walk, and about to sit down, and the matter was almost the same. There was even a team of Huike teeth.
Apprenticeship is really beneficial, and fox fake tiger power is indispensable.
But Gan Qi suddenly found that he might also want to develop on the road of trolls, Bao Zheng's disciples, shouldn't insult the prestige of the teacher, should he fight for the position of the second troll in the Northern Song Dynasty?
Gan Qi can be regarded as establishing his path in the recent period, taking the household registration documents and going to Taixue to report.
Gan Qi's troll road may have to start with Taixue.
Now the name of the superintendent of the country is Hu Ming, is a sixty-five-year-old man, although this person is not famous in later generations, but at this time, the name is very big, the founder of the Confucian school of science, and now the official worships the prince in the house, Tianzhang Pavilion waiter. The beginning of Cheng Zhu Lixue, which influenced later generations, probably started from Hu Ming.
Hu Ming's fame is not only because he is in charge of the affairs of the country, but also because almost half of the officials of the Ministry of Rites have been under him. The Ministry of Rites is the department responsible for organizing the imperial examination, which shows Hu Ming's influence on the court today.
Cheng Zhu Lixue has been criticized countless by later generations, among which there are advantages and disadvantages, many benefits and harms. The phrase "preserving heavenly principles and destroying human desires" has been the most criticized by later generations. But at this point, there is actually a misunderstanding, and "preserving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires" is taken out of context.
The original text is "Food, heavenly principles, delicacies of the mountains and seas, and human desires." Husband and wife, Tianli also, three wives and four concubines, human desires". The original text distinguishes between heavenly principles and human desires, and then saves heavenly principles to destroy human desires, which essentially means to control one's own excessive desires.
Of course, Cheng Zhu Lixue, on the whole, really influenced the thinking of later generations, making the thinking of later generations more conservative and pedantic, which is the biggest drawback of Cheng Zhu Lixue.
The real pioneers of Cheng Zhu Lixue are the brothers Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, as well as Zhang Zai, all three of whom are also candidates who entered the exam this year and are in the same session as Su Shi and Su Zhe.
Gan Qi arrived too much, but the old scholar Hu Ying even came out to meet Gan Qi in person, because Gan Qi was the only one in this class of students who was personally recommended by the emperor.
Hu Ying naturally wanted to take a look at Gan Qi, a "relational household", and Gan Qi was also polite and thoughtful, just waiting to listen to the teachings of the old pedant.
Hu Ying looked Gan Qi up and down, and said: "When the official recommended you, the old man also ordered someone to inquire about one or two, listened to a few of your poems, and also read your articles. There is talent, but you can study in Taixue. ”
Students of Taixue are divided into inner and outer houses, just as the Jianghu sect is also divided into inner disciples and outer disciples, it is a truth, if you want to enter the inner house, it is naturally more difficult, and you will be admitted to the additional examination. When Wang Anshi was in charge, he also divided the Tai credit into three houses, and in addition to the inner and outer houses, an upper house was added, which was the three-round method.
"Thank you, Mr. Hu." Ganchi replied.
Hu Ying suddenly asked again: "But the official family explained again, saying that I don't have to be tied to you, listen to the lectures, and let you come and go." Why is that? ”
Gan Qi saw that Hu Jin's face was a little unhappy, and knew that this old man had to deal with it first, otherwise there would be trouble in the future, so he came up with a famous quote in his mind, and replied: "Sir, the student has a word, read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and ask Mr. to correct it." ”
Hu Ying pondered slightly when he heard this, and repeated a sentence in his mouth: "Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles." ”
Then Hu Ying smiled slightly, shook his head with nonsense: "Well, when I first heard this word, I didn't think there was anything unusual, but when I thought about it again, I felt that it was meaningful, meaningful, and even reasonable." It's no wonder that the official family will personally recommend you to enter the Taixue, just this word, but countless people. ”
Seeing the old man's appearance, Gan Qi immediately said: "The student has also realized a truth from it, and then ask Mr. to correct it." ”
"Tell me about it." The old man looked up at Gan Qi in anticipation.
"The principle of the unity of knowledge and action." Ganchi replied.
When Hu Ying heard this, he shook his head and stopped, looked up at Gan Qi, and looked surprised.
The unity of knowledge and action is a very important core idea in Wang Yangming's psychology in the Ming Dynasty, and this word was also pioneered by Wang Yangming.
In fact, the relationship between the study of mind and the science of science has inheritance, development, and difference. However, at the philosophical level, the two schools of thought still complement each other, expounding the ideas of subjective and objective idealism respectively. But in terms of the perception of all things, the two schools of thought are very different.
Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, the unity of knowledge and action, these words have been rotten in later generations, but in this Great Song Dynasty, they can make people feel empowered.
If Gan Qi really wanted to explain and elaborate in depth and improve the doctrine, Gan Qi might show some timidity, but the Hu Ying in front of him was a person who started science, so he didn't need Gan Qi to explain and elaborate specifically, but it aroused Hu Ming's philosophical thinking.
Hu Ying calmed down a little from the surprise in his heart, then sighed a few times, and then said: "Young and promising, young and promising." The unity of knowledge and action, is this word, woke up the person in the dream, read thousands of books, and travel thousands of miles, so that knowledge and action can be united, and when there is time in the future, when the old man sits here and talks. ”
Sit and talk? When Gan Qi heard this, he gave up his hand again and again: "If you go to the end of the school, you don't dare to dare." ”
"What is the last learning, the sage said, there is a sequence of hearing the Tao, the morning and the Tao can die, the sage has words, and the threesome must have my teacher. There is a thought of this avenue, there must be a careful thought, the master is the teacher, sit and talk about the road, you and I should be friends who forget the year. "Hu Ming, an old pedant, has studied these all his life, and he is not interested in being an official or anything, but he is very concerned about teaching and educating people.
Perhaps this is the attitude that rigorous learning should have, which is also the reason why he can manage the country and the world.
It doesn't hurt to say that Ganqi has the thought of the Great Dao, but if Ganqi has a careful thought about the Great Dao, then it may not be. If you really want to sit down and talk with this rigorous old pedant, Gan Qikan is capable of Kan, but I'm afraid that Kan will have problems.
So Ganchi just bowed his hand to show courtesy.
But I saw the old scholar Hu Ying stand up, lay out a proclamation, and waved the pen, four big characters: the unity of knowledge and action.
After writing, Hu Ying was in a very good mood and said: "When you frame this sentence in the house, you can see it all the time and think about it all the time." ”
Gan Qi looked at Hu Ying, who was in a good mood, and said, "Sir, it's not too early, the student has retreated." ”
I don't want the old man to step forward and take Gan Qi's hand, look out, and say, "It's still early, it's still early, sit down, sit down." ”
Seeing that the old man was so enthusiastic, Gan Qi hurriedly said: "Sir, there is still an urgent matter in the student's family, and I will come to visit Mr. again in the future." ”
Seeing this, the old man put down Gan Qi's hand and said, "Taixue has you this year, the old man is very pleased, and he will definitely come here to see you in the future, and the old man must have a long talk with you." ”
"Thank you, sir." Gan Qi bowed, turned his head and left.
As soon as I went out, I saw an acquaintance, Liu Ji, the chief of Taixue.
