Chapter 427: The Way of the King
With Fang Jifan's assurance, everyone settled down.
Fang Jifan is quite reliable.
Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be relieved, his face relaxed a little, and said: "In this way, the relief money and grain of Ningbo Mansion do not need to be distributed, so it is ......."
Since this matter has been explained, there is nothing to do with Fang Jifan, and with that, Fang Jifan retired.
After a pause, Emperor Hongzhi said, "The King of Joseon, please see, what do you think?" β
Don't look at the film and television dramas of later generations, it seems that whenever the dynasty opens, the monarchs and ministers are very formal, and hundreds of thousands of people often gather together to discuss national affairs.
But in fact, monarchs and ministers are also human beings, only on the occasion of court discussions, and almost above the court meetings, hundreds of thousands of people get together, in fact, they can't discuss.
Any power operation will operate in a small circle!
"The minister has something to do." The one who spoke was Zhang Shengdao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites: "Recently, there has been a great Confucian scholar ......."
Wen Suchen......
Emperor Hongzhi seemed to feel some impressions: "Is it Wen Suchen who wrote "Suhe Fu"? β
"Exactly!"
Liu Jian and the others were silent.
This person is a celebrity and has a great reputation in the Jiangnan area.
It is said that a few years ago, he came to Beijing and taught Chengcheng Zhu Lixue in Beijing, and he reprimanded the dynasty and the Buddha, and his reputation was prominent.
Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, continued: "Recently, he criticized Xinxue, saying that he wanted to argue with Fang Jifan. β
"Oh." Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and didn't seem to care too much.
"Fang Jifan didn't mention it, it seems that Fang Jifan just treated it as a joke."
"Fang Jifan shouldn't know." Liu Jian smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Wen Suchen really may not dare to debate with Fang Jifan. β
"Why?" Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised: "Could it be that Fang Jifan can eat people?" β
"Won't eat people." Zhang Sheng looked at Emperor Hongzhi deeply: "But it will beat people......"
All of a sudden, everyone suddenly realized.
This is not surprising.
No wonder after the emergence of Xinxue, there was no major incident!
It stands to reason that this is a bit unusual! There are so many great Confucians of Cheng Zhu Lixue, but none of them jumped out and scolded the other party's successor!
In the past, there would have been many great Confucians and celebrities who would have competed with the new doctrine about such controversies.
After all, the Confucians still rely on reasoning to eat, but if there is no reason, the full belly in the chest has not yet spoken, and a big ear scraper directly hits, although the other party may be notorious, but he himself is also lost.
"I think what they are trying to do is to argue with Wang Shouren, so it is true to secretly slander Fang Jifan and let his disciple Wang Shouren accept the provocation."
Emperor Hongzhi immediately understood.
Zhang Sheng continued: "Wang Shouren is Fang Jifan's most proud disciple, this point, Fang Jifan has said on many occasions, this Wang Shouren can be said to be the true biography of Fang Jifan, if Wang Shouren can be made speechless, then Wen Suchen's purpose will be achieved." Since Wang Shouren is a protΓ©gΓ© of Fang Jifan, how can he humiliate his master? I will argue with him. Ke Wen Suchen is a great Confucian in the world, and Wang Shouren is young, so he will definitely not be his opponent. β
Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile: "Oh. β
He was a little interested in this, but at the same time, he was quite displeased with Wen Suchen's calculations.
However, Confucianism has always been like this, and if he can take advantage of the east wind of overthrowing Wang Shouren, the reputation of this Wen Suchen will become more and more prominent.
"There is one more thing ......" Speaking of this, Zhang Sheng glanced at Liu Jian: "Wen Suchen seems to have also attacked Liu Jie." β
This time he talked about his son, but Liu Jian still looked calm.
He has already been criticized by many Confucians, and it can be said that he is accustomed to it, but his son is so good that he was actually scolded, although his expression has not changed, he is also slightly dissatisfied in his heart.
"Although Liu Jie has made great contributions, I have heard that when he came to Tianjin Wei, Liu Jie was very proud of Li Yi, the king of North Korea, Li Yi is the lord of a country, and I am the world, Wen Suchen thinks that Liu Jie, the new scholar, is disrespectful to Li Yi, is domineering, and deviates from the original intention of my Ming Dynasty to implement the royal road, if it spreads, I am afraid that it will be laughed at by all countries in the Quartet."
The royal road and domineering, once in the Han Dynasty, the Confucian scholars had discussions, and even had fierce confrontations.
Wen Suchen's entry point is excellent, he takes Liu Jie's arrogant treatment of the Korean king Li Yi as the starting point, accusing Liu Jie of not having the etiquette of hospitality since learning from Wang Shouren, which is actually questioning Xinxue's seems to want to repeat the mistakes of the original ram theory.
In the Han Dynasty, the ram school once played the banner of 'the Son of Heaven and a Lord', which was both the Son of Heaven and a kind of title, not the incarnation of God. He also introduced the 'celestial and human induction', believing that if a disaster descends from heaven, it is closely related to the behavior of the Son of Heaven, such as the collapse of the earth, it may be due to the Son of Heaven's immorality.
Since then, there have been 'great unification', 'Yixia debate' and so on.
Of course, there is another thing, which is the idea of 'great revenge'.
One of the most typical examples is that at that time, "The Legend of the Ram" in the interpretation of the text of "Spring and Autumn", very much praised the idea of revenge, such as when Qi destroyed Ji Guo, many people at that time thought that Qi Guo's approach was wrong, the reason is that between Qi and Ji Guo, although there is a feud, but it was an old thing a hundred years ago, you can't kill the whole family because everyone had a grudge a hundred years ago.
Therefore, in "The Legend of the Ram", it is explained like this, asking: The ninth world can still take revenge. Answer: Although it is a hundred generations.
Qi annihilated Ji Guo, which itself is the embodiment of domineering, but it has been strongly supported by the Ram School, and revenge must be avenged, and it is extremely advocating that public revenge must be avenged, which is their characteristic.
To sum up in later generations, it is actually domineering.
Of course, in the end, the Ram School completely declined.
Therefore, the ideas of 'great unification' have been handed down, and the theory of 'heaven and man induction' has been no longer advocated, but there are still remnants in Confucianism. The domineering idea of 'great revenge' was completely thrown into the garbage heap by later generations of Confucian scholars.
As for the 'Son of Heaven and a Lord', he hated it and was replaced by the monarch and his ministers.
Domineering is the characteristic of ramology.
This is why Wen Suchen attacked Liu Jie with domineering, and used it to criticize Xinxue.
This is clearly to rely on the new school to the ram school.
And the ram has actually been weakened for thousands of years, and it is pitiful to blame that it was pulled out and whipped at this time.
But there are indeed many of its thoughts that are intolerable to the current imperial court. Don't say the big revenge, what the hell is the heaven and man, there is a collapse today, just say that the emperor is immoral, if it rains heavily tomorrow, it is a warning from God, what did your emperor do to lack virtue, the drought the day after tomorrow, then it is even more lacking in virtue.
And what is really intolerable, I think it is the 'Son of Heaven and a Lord', the Son of Heaven and the vassal king, even like Fang Jifan, the new uncle, are all a kind of title, but this title is relatively advanced, Emperor Hongzhi has a good temper, even if he doesn't like it, he won't make a sound, if Emperor Taizu Gao is still alive, he must have raised a blade to kill all the blind Bibi people.
Sure enough, Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly.
He doesn't like ram science, and naturally he doesn't like the domineering idea of great revenge, of course, no emperor will like 'celestial induction' or 'the first lord of heaven'.
Liu Jian said: "Nonsense." β
Zhang Sheng said kindly: "This is what Wen Suchen said, and the minister is just playing according to the facts." β
In the warm pavilion, there was silence.
Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Liu Jie has made a great contribution, he has made a return journey, is he really proud of his achievements?" β
"This ......" Zhang Sheng hesitated, not knowing how to answer, obviously, judging from the return brought by the head of the Ministry of Etiquette, Liu Jie did have many rudenesses.
Seeing that he hesitated and didn't answer, Emperor Hongzhi understood, glanced at Liu Jian, and said lightly: "He is still young......
In fact, he is not young anymore, he is older than Emperor Hongzhi.
But Emperor Hongzhi still bit Liu Jie to death, in fact, he was ashamed of Liu Jian, so he said: "Everyone is confused, just pay attention to it in the future." The king of Joseon, Li Yi, wanted to be a good hospitality, a guest, a king, a rule of virtue, and a courtesy to foreign countries, so that he did not have to worry. β
After that, he pondered for a while, and then said: "As for this Wen Suchen, he is just a grandstander, don't pay attention to it." β
Obviously, he wants to let Xinxue lean on the ram school.
And ram science, which has long been abandoned, is unlikely to be revived.
Not to mention that the current scholars can no longer accept his views, even the imperial court categorically cannot accept them.
Emperor Hongzhi naturally knew the idea of Xinxue, so he was very displeased with Wen Suchen.
Liu Jian did not relax because of Emperor Hongzhi's protection.
Your Majesty can certainly be considerate of his son, but the mouths of the scholars are too powerful.
Thinking about it like this, his heart sank, and it was really a big tree.
After thinking about it, Liu Jian said: "This is the original situation, the old minister must go home and ask the courtiers for clarification." β
Emperor Hongzhi bowed his head and said: "He has worked very hard all the way in Korea, and he has just come back, you don't have to be harsh on him, otherwise I will be harsh on you." β
Liu Jian understood that in this matter, Emperor Hongzhi was defending him, and glanced at Emperor Hongzhi gratefully and said, "The ministers obey the order." β
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "Let's talk about something happy, but now, how is the Wakouping?" β
Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has been chewing on Fang Cai's recital, and he has always paid more attention to the things in this Shilin, as a gentleman of the Hongzhi Dynasty!
At this time, His Majesty suddenly asked about the matter of Pingwei, Ma Wensheng came back to his senses, his eyes suddenly brightened a little, and he said energetically: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has selected elite soldiers and strong generals, and made them control the latest six sea ships, and now they are recuperating, as long as the Japanese robbers dare to come, they will be taught to die without a place to be buried!" β
