For the students of the civil service school, they are not familiar with Zhu Yijun, so when Zhu Yijun appears here, they don't care much except for the novelty. It's just that seeing Lu Shenxing by Zhu Yijun's side made these people a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, in front of you is the courtyard where Mr. Li lives!"

Lu Shenxing pointed to a small courtyard not far away and said.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, what should you be busy with!" After speaking, he walked in with Zhang Whale.

After entering the courtyard, Zhu Yijun found that it was not a very large courtyard, three rooms, and there was a pear tree in the yard, and now there were no leaves. There is a stone table and several stone benches in the courtyard.

Zhu Yijun saw Li Zhen at a glance, and saw that he was making a stove, the charcoal fire was booming, and Li Zhen was roasting something.

After a closer look, it was actually a sweet potato, Zhu Yijun immediately smiled, walked straight to Li Zhen's side, and found that he was still roasting very seriously, and he didn't even hear the sound of footsteps. Zhu Yijun found that Li Zhen was very skilled in roasting sweet potatoes, and it was obviously not the first time he had done it.

"Roast one for me!" Zhu Yijun saw that Li Zhen still didn't react, and said with a smile.

Li Zhen was startled when he heard someone speak, but when he heard what the person said, he quickly raised his head and knelt down and said, "See the emperor!" ”

"That's it!" Zhu Yijun waved his hand, and then said to Zhang Whale behind him: "Go, move a stool, I and Li Aiqing will chat a few words here!" ”

Li Zhen also stood up at this time, stood aside respectfully, and did not speak.

After Zhang Jing's chair was moved, Zhu Yijun sat down, and said to Li Zhen with a smile: "Sit, let's talk, you roast sweet potatoes, don't forget to roast one for me, I really want to eat it!" ”

This is not a lie, in his previous life, there was an uncle who sold roasted sweet potatoes at the gate of Zhu Yijun University.

Every night on the way back to the dormitory after self-study, Zhu Yijun would buy one, and the sweet roasted sweet potato accompanied him through those days of hard study, and the roasted sweet potato was not just food for Zhu Yijun.

When I saw it in this life, I really wanted to eat, and of course, I was also close to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen nodded and said, "It is an honor for the minister to invite the emperor to dinner." ”

Zhu Yijun looked at Li Zhen and said, "I heard Lu Shenxing say that you are out of the customs, so I want to come and talk to you." You got it from Jiangnan, and it's my responsibility to take care of you. ”

"I'm curious, too, to see what you've learned, and to tell me something."

Li Zhen was silent for a moment, and then said: "The minister has realized something, and the minister is going to teach and write at the same time, and the minister also thinks that His Majesty will allow the minister to teach a few students and spread the doctrine." ”

"You said it well, I will let you gather your hearts and learn disciples!" Zhu Yijun made a faint promise.

Zhu Yijun thinks farther than Li Zhen, and in this era, he bluntly splits a road, which is not good, and needs someone to support him. Now the study of the mind is very prosperous, and many officials in the court are disciples of the study of the heart.

Zhu Yijun didn't think they were sincere, of course, there must be old-fashioned defenders. But most of them take this as a step forward, and when they show their support for Li Zhen's theory, it will inevitably make countless people come to learn.

At that time, the identity of this disciple of the heart can quickly gather countless disciples.

"The minister wants to write a book of "The Treatise on the People"" Li Zhen said with a smile: "This is not a book, but an article, an article that expounds his own doctrine. The first sentence of the opening chapter has been thought about, but he is still pondering. ”

"Tell me about it!" Zhu Yijun looked at Li Zhen and said with encouragement in his eyes.

Li Zhen didn't make any fuss, and said directly: "God educates all people, and all people are equal!" ”

Listening to Li Zhen's words, Zhu Yijun almost didn't fall off the chair, these words sound too familiar, look at Li Zhen carefully, didn't this product come through time? Another saying of this sentence is more familiar to Zhu Yijun.

That is: all human beings are created equal and enjoy the inalienable rights given to them by their Creator, including the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We believe that these universal truths speak for themselves.

This sentence comes from the very famous "Declaration of Independence" in later generations, and it is definitely famous.

Li Zhen's sentence "God educates all people, and all people are equal", this is simply a copy of this statement!

After staring at Li Zhen for a long time, Zhu Yijun forcibly suppressed the urge to pull the goods out and cut them, and asked with a smile: "How did Aiqing realize this truth?" ”

"The minister has studied Buddhism, and Buddhism pays attention to the equality of all beings."

Taoism pays attention to non-action, non-action between people, non-action between heaven and earth, these are all expounding a point of view, that is, equality. Confucianism pays attention to moderation and benevolence. ”

"The minister thinks that only equality can be benevolent, and the gentleman is far away from the kitchen if he is benevolent to pigs and dogs, that is false benevolence and false righteousness, and true benevolence should not be eaten, and if there is no eating, there is naturally no killing, why not learn Buddhism?"

Zhu Yijun looked at Li Zhen with a weird expression, do you want to say "no sale, no killing", this style of painting is completely wrong!

"The minister read the theories of various schools, and finally realized this truth, God educates all people, and all people are equal!" Speaking of this, a touch of frenzy flashed in Li Zhen's eyes, which was completely different from him who had just roasted sweet potatoes.

"Where do people come from? Whether Nuwa created people, heaven created people, or Buddha created people, when they created people, can they make a difference? ”

"No, Buddhism pays attention to the equality of all beings, Taoism pays attention to the unkindness of heaven and earth, and all things are dogs, since there is no inequality when people appear, then why are people now divided into three, six, nine and so on? God nurtures all people, and all people are born equal. ”

Zhu Yijun looked at the fanatical Li Zhen, he wanted to shout loudly, but he still asked himself to stop.

"But everyone is a businessman, they don't produce, they buy and sell, and make huge profits, shouldn't they be despised for them?" Zhu Yijun looked at Li Zhen and asked such a question.

Li Zhen shook his head and said seriously: "There are good people in all walks of life, and there are bad people. ”

"There are no bad people among the scholars? Should those who embezzle food and wages, fish and meat people, be despised or not? Of course! Are there bad people in the people who farm the land, of course, they are lazy and greedy, they are not good at farming, they can't support wives and children, they shouldn't be despised or not, of course they should. ”

"Are there good people among the merchants, of course, although they sell, but they also communicate with the world, although they do not produce, but they also communicate with each other. They didn't steal or rob, they relied on their hard work to make money, why should they be belittled? ”

"Those profiteers, those who are shoddy, those who deceive the people, they deserve to be despised ."

"Cheapness should not be based on what industry they do, but on what they do. The saints taught us to be benevolent and to follow the Three Principles and Five Constants, so those who violate these should of course be despised for violating them. ”

Li Zhen said very excitedly, waving his hands, and there was a taste of pointing at Fang Xuan: "Therefore, the minister realized the sentence 'God educates all the people, and all the people are the same'." ”

Good idea!

Regardless of the rest, Zhu Yijun is very optimistic about Li Zhen's idea, which is a good doctrine to break the inherent class and shape values. Zhu Yijun really didn't expect Li Zhen to be able to realize these things, it's really amazing!

However, there is a problem to be solved, that is, what to do with the emperor.

God nurtures all people, and all people are born equal, so shouldn't you be the emperor too?

"So what should I do?" Zhu Yijun looked at Li Zhen and asked such a key question.

Li Zhen's thought is a further thought of the foundation of industry and commerce, and it is more radical, you must know that the trend of thought of industry and commerce has long existed, and it is also easier to be accepted. It's not news that scholars are doing business now, everyone is doing it.

It's just that what I said earlier was too ruthless, and now I tear this cloth off, and I can't hang it on my face.

Of course, the main reason is that many people can use this doctrine to exclude other people, real businessmen. They had to rely on the scholars, otherwise they would not be able to survive, which also led to the transformation of merchants into scholars and became officials and merchants.

Zhu Yijun prefers Li Zhen's thoughts, and he also thinks it makes sense, as for how to publicize it, Zhu Yijun feels that he is much better than people in this era.

There are newspapers and channels in the internal factory, as long as they are willing to spend money, it is not impossible to mold Li Zhen into a saint, just like the American elections in the future. He began to build schools and promote free education, and taught Li Zhen's ideas in these schools.

In the imperial examination, the large-scale admission of Li Zhen's disciples can naturally make this kind of thinking become the mainstream.

If we persist in it for more than ten or twenty years, the idea of valuing agriculture and suppressing business will naturally be swept into the garbage heap.

What Zhu Yijun has to see now is how Li Zhen answers his question, and then he can decide what he should do.

"Heaven educates all the people, all the people are the same, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he is sent by Heaven to rule the people, so naturally he must put all the people first, treat them equally, and seek benefits for the people.

Li Zhen's words were very powerful, and he was so stiff in his neck.

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he almost didn't laugh out loud, Li Zhen's statement that "the son of heaven rules over all the people" is actually the divine right of the monarch. What I said later, to put it bluntly, is restricting the power of the monarch.

As the Son of Heaven sent by Heaven to rule over all the peoples, you should treat all people equally and benefit all people.

This doctrine emphasizes the divine right of the Son of Heaven, combined with the doctrine of "God nurtures all people, and all people live equally", which undoubtedly has a huge attraction to Zhu Yijun. As for the part that restricts the monarch's power later, Zhu Yijun doesn't care much about it.

Zhu Yijun is now the emperor, but he comes from a later generation, and he knows the consequences of not being restricted by the monarchy.

Although he didn't know what Li Zhen's theory would eventually bring, Zhu Yijun still felt that he should give it a try. In fact, Zhu Yijun still has another worry, that is, the divine right of the monarch advocated by Li Zhen.

With this divine right of the monarch, it can be regarded as finding a new reason to be loyal to the monarch, but Zhu Yijun feels that when combined with Confucianism, it is easy to give birth to a fanatical doctrine for the emperor. In addition, now that there is a strong Hanism, there are all Yidi outside, and the doctrine that is very easy to derive is: racism!

If you promote the army and improve the status of soldiers more strongly, the next thought that will appear will be ****!
