"Yuan ......" Zhu Sen had a look of surprise in his eyes, and almost blurted out, but when he saw Zhao Xingde signaling with his eyes, he immediately stopped. Although Zhao Xingde's crime was an old affair of the previous dynasty, the officials of the current dynasty paid great attention to filial piety and refused to easily rehabilitate this imperial case. In the past few years, his articles have been circulating, but no trace has been found. In the matter of rehabilitating Zhaoxue, Chen Dong mentioned that he was left in the middle of the official family several times, and the other ministers were happy that he did not show up in front of others, and everyone no longer had to be embarrassed by the official family.

At this time, someone asked: "Isn't the Three Principles and Five Constants the Right Way?" ”

Zhao Xingde said with a smile: "No." As soon as these words came out, all the Confucian scholars present were in an uproar, some looked at him in disbelief, and some gritted their teeth and wanted to rush over, but they heard him continue to say in a deep voice: "Daoist, the principle of the operation of heaven and earth. The avenue is unique, the sky is constant, not for Yao, not for death. Where does the theory of good and evil come from? ’”

Hearing him say this, many Confucian scholars who wanted to refute him couldn't talk about it, Yang Xiu's mind came up with the sentence 'There is nothing originally, where to stir up dust', but this person insisted on the way of heaven and earth, but where to put the three outlines and five constants, but listened to him say slowly: "The three outlines and five constants, so if you talk about it carefully, it is the virtue of humanity, not the Tao." As the Zhou people say, the emperor has no relatives, but virtue is the auxiliary. But Deben is the assistant of heaven, and the so-called 'virtue with heaven' is also. The Tao is the sky, the dry, the yang, the virtue is the earth, the kun, the yin, if the virtue of the heavens, there is inevitably the mistake of reversing the yin and yang. Could it be that the way of heaven can still be reversed to match the virtue of people? ”

The Confucian students in the audience all quieted down, Zhu Sen was thoughtful, Huang Jian nodded slightly, and listened to him and said: "The so-called Zhou people, respect the sky, protect the people, be virtuous, and punish carefully." Respecting heaven is to say that all things in the world should act in accordance with the way of heaven, those who follow the heavens will escape, those who go against the heavens will work, those who follow the heavens will prosper, and those who go against the heavens will die. Those who protect the people, as Mencius said, the people are precious, and the monarch is light. If you don't protect the people, you can't follow the way of heaven. Mingde and even punishment are to protect the people, those who are enlightened are courteous, and those who are prudent are punished. As Liu Tao said, kill one person and the three armies are shaken, kill him; Reward one person and ten thousand people are happy, reward. The three outlines and five constants, since the Han Dynasty, have been advocated by successive dynasties, and if there is an occasional contradiction, the people of the country can be killed, which is the effect of Mingde. But if it is mistakenly thought to be the way of heaven, it means that the deer is a horse. ”

After Zhao Xingde finished speaking, most of the scholars in the audience were silent. Although the virtues of the Three Principles and the Five Constants are also high, they are not the same as the way of heaven. The way of heaven is not wrong, and the same life as heaven and earth will never die, and those who follow it will prosper and those who rebel will perish. Virtue is not the case, change the dynasty, then the virtue of the new dynasty represents the virtue of the old dynasty, and even the so-called five virtues are always said. Even more keenly thought secretly: "Since ancient times, there have been few people who have killed kings with ministers, and the recent change of five generations is very obvious. The three outlines and five permanent ones also need to be maintained by manpower. I didn't see any courtier usurping the throne, and the heavens sent down thunder and lightning to split him. In the final analysis, it is because the monarch and the minister are often only human virtues, not the way of heaven. Thinking about this, I can't help but feel a chill in my heart. There was silence in the academy for a moment, but no one said anything to refute it.

After a long time, someone expected Ai Ai Dao: "As Mr. sees, the world's important Feng Zen, auspicious, auspicious, auspicious, and Dan Dao can be called the way of heaven?" The scholars tacitly looked at each other, and the officials of the previous dynasties did not value these, and there was a lot of criticism among the scholars.

Zhao Xingde shook his head slightly and smiled: "Zi is silent, and the strange power is confused. ”

Huang Jian nodded to Zhao Xingde and said with a smile: "This gentleman is high-minded." He turned to the Confucian scholars and said, "If you are honest, the old man has some of them. The world, the world of the world, not the private property of a family and a surname. Therefore, the policy of governing the world should be based on the justice of the people of the world, not out of the selfish interests of one family and one surname. However, if people are not saints and sages, they are all selfish interests, how can they bring justice to the people of the world? Huang Jian slowly looked at the scholars in the field, and said in a deep voice: "It will be discussed by the public, and justice will be achieved." The state selects scholars through the imperial examination, and selects and breeds talented people through the system of building schools. The laws of the country shall be determined by the public opinion of the national masters. The laws of the state and county must be decided by the state and county scholars. Since then, all state and county officials have been elected by the scholars of each state and county, and then the state and county officials have elected their own officials for their own purposes, and the school supervises them. And the prime minister who is in charge of the world must be elected by the public council of the national schools, and then the prime minister will choose the books of each ministry to do things, and the schools in the world will supervise him. If the prime minister, the scholar, and the state and county officials fail to the state, the scholars will gather in the school, and the election will be carried out again. In this way, the above person trembled and trembled like walking on thin ice, and did not dare to fail the public opinion in his words and deeds, and the selfishness of everyone may be able to cause the public interest of all the people in the world. ”

At this time, a scholar named Hu Yong asked loudly: "Where is the king, sir?" ”

Huang Jian smiled slightly: "The saint rules by hanging the arch, the government is the prime minister, and the sacrifice is the king." That's what he's always stood for.

Another scholar named Tian Mu frowned and asked: "Sir entrusts the authority to the scholars of the school, isn't he afraid that the scholars will discuss a lot and make a decision, but will delay the major affairs of the country?" In addition, the selection of state and county officials by school scholars, and even the decision of the prime minister of the imperial court, Shangshu, etc., will inevitably make the party struggle more intense. At this time, if there are traitors such as Wang Mang to confuse the public with heresy, the scholars will inevitably be what they do, and the people of the world will suffer. ”

Huang Jian had a look of approval in his eyes, and slowly explained: "The schools and scholars that Huang said are slightly different from today's county schools, Taixue, and scholars. The school is not only a place for national training, but also a place for the whole country to discuss it. Scholars have achieved fame through the imperial examination, and if they cannot become officials, they will make a living by running their own business, and there is no restriction on cultivation and commerce. It is the duty of the scholars to discuss the public meeting, and if they do not participate in the public discussion from time to time, they will be warned by the sacrificial wine, and those who do not change their religion will be removed from their reputation. Therefore, most of the people who gather in schools to participate in public discussions, including all walks of life, are the pillars of a country, a state and a county, and most of them are not just bookcases. As for the party dispute......"

Zhao Xingde stood in the academy, and the surprise in his heart was no less than that of other Confucian students. Huang Jian also put forward this school election for the first time, although it is only a utopian dream, and it is even more incredible, and it is extremely close to the system of later generations.

Someone beside him whispered: "If you talk about Wang Mang, I think Huang Zhoushan is Wang Mang." insulted the monarch's father, and wanted to change the court system, why didn't anyone arrest him and take him to prison for questioning? The other person sneered: "Brother is in the same position." Huang Zhoushan is a Confucian scholar, how can he be compared with the traitorous male Wang Mang? I have never sinnered anyone with his words, and he has never accumulated party henchmen or recruited troops to rebel against him. He wants the school to publicly elect the prime minister, and he doesn't blame the mistakes of the government by name, who will pay attention to him. If you are the boss of the dynasty, are you the Zhao Yuanzhi who wrote the exposé? Or is there nothing to provoke Huang Zhoushan? Huang Zhoushan's statement is just a smile. If you talk about restructuring, I think Wang Wengong is still the first to recommend, and the tricks for the country's financial management are real. Huang Zhoushan is just making lofty arguments, and empty words are useless. ”

More scholars stood in the courtyard and listened quietly to this novelty. The so-called scholars and the Son of Heaven rule the world together, and many scholars are unable to come out, and they are just empty words. If, according to Huang Zhoushan's theory, the truth of the hypocrisy is that the school scholars elect the sacrificial wine, the governor of the prefecture and county, and the prime minister is elected with the sacrificial wine, and even more so the public discussion and supervision, and impeachment, then the scholars who have no official position and no position will participate in political affairs, especially their influence on local political affairs will be greatly increased. It was fashionable and it was March weather, the spring was cold in the mountains, and the fog was heavy, and before I knew it, a large cloud of mist drifted in from the bamboo forest along the breeze, and the fog wet the clothes, and no one wiped it. The faces of the people four or five steps away were no longer clear, and the scholars were still quietly listening to the new theories that seemed to come from the ethereal void.

At this time, Huang Jian still continued: "The so-called party is the same and different, villains have parties, and gentlemen also have parties. It's hard for people who aren't in the same class to work together. However, in order to prevent the formation of parties for personal gain, it should be prevented by public opinion. Although the scholars have their own parties, their words and deeds must be based on public intentions. If there is a person who abolishes the public for private reasons, the scholar shall prohibit him by public opinion. Although the school has the right to elect and discuss the government, the power of political affairs still rests with the prime minister, the six ministries and the state and county officials, and if the public council cannot be impeached, it must not disturb the imperial court system. If it weren't for the fact that seven or eight out of ten of the sergeants of the country thought it was not feasible, the major affairs of the court should not be obstructed by public discussion. Even if there are traitors such as Wang Mang, who have deceived most of the scholars for a while, but after the authenticity is identified, the school can still be impeached by public opinion, and if there are six or seven out of ten scholars in a county public opinion, then the county will be ordered one by one. By extension, the public discussion of scholars in a state, six or seven out of ten, can be chased by the state, and the public discussion of a country's school sacrificial wine can be driven by the prime minister. ”

After he finished this paragraph, it was still the scholars who asked questions, and Huang Jian answered them one by one. In Zhao Xingde's ears, whether it was the content of the questions and answers, it made him feel novel and strange in addition to déjà vu. However, compared with the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are obviously not very familiar with specific military and political affairs, and some people only know that there are four major camps in the imperial court, but they do not know the strength of the camps. Some people think that the current situation is similar to that of Fangzhen at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and they advocate cutting the feudal domain, but they don't know that the Song Dynasty is now under attack on both sides in the northwest and the embers of civil unrest in the southeast. Some people advocate that the imperial court should send troops and horses to the Northern Expedition to recover Yanyun in one fell swoop, but they don't know that Yang Yanqing has doubts about the Beijing division deployed in the Hedong camp, and Wang Yan has been deployed in the Hebei camp many times. After the officials of the DPRK and China were fighting over the Datong Prefecture, there was a mess between whether Shanhou Kyushu was under the jurisdiction of Hedong Xingying or Hebei Xingying. Some people say that after the school is discussed, the heavy industrial and commercial taxes in the southeast should be reduced, but they do not say where the expenses of the imperial court will be compensated for in this way. Even Zhao Xingde secretly shook his head, it will take time for these people to discuss the world's major affairs.
