Chapter 389: Cunkong Meng reprimanded Confucianism and destroyed Confucianism
The Ming Dynasty has come to the present, and it definitely needs to change, but governing the country is like curing a disease, and it is necessary to first understand the pathology and investigate it before we can prescribe the right medicine.
The Ming Dynasty has come to this point, which is inseparable from the original national policy of Emperor Taizu, the problem of clan population, the problem of eunuchization, the problem of commerce, and the problem of the confrontation between the emperor and the gentry class.
When there is a problem with a system itself, then various other problems will follow, the emperor centralizes power, and the checks and balances between the bureaucracy are transformed into the confrontation between the emperor and the civil officials, and the emperor has to pull in the eunuchs in order to bring in reinforcements, which is a logical line that forms the unique political characteristics of the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Yan continued at this time: "The Song Dynasty was close to perfection in terms of checks and balances between monarchs and ministers, but in military affairs, it was strong and weak, and the suppression of military generals also caused the defeat of the Song Dynasty. Yan's idea was to learn from the Song system's way of checks and balances, reform the Ming cabinet system, and appropriately promote the status of military generals. Transform the Ming Dynasty into a great empire that is richer than Zhao and Song, stronger than Han and Tang, and inherits eternity. ”
"The Zhao and Song monarchs ruled together, and the ministers and the monarchs were also teachers and friends, which is indeed desirable." Wang Chaoping said: "A few days ago, I checked the history books and saw that Hou Yanqing's "Retreat Record" of the Song Dynasty recorded that when Song Shenzong was going to execute a criminal transfer envoy, the prime minister objected, on the grounds that "since the ancestors, they have not tried to kill scholars, and the ministers do not want to start with Your Majesty." After pondering for a long time, Shenzong said: "You can use the thorn face to deal with the evil place." The subordinate squire Lang Dan objected again on the grounds that "the soldier can be killed, not humiliated", and finally Shenzong had to give up, and the emperor sighed: "You can't do a happy thing." The ministers said, "It's better to do something so quickly." If I can do this between the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, it will be the blessing of my scholars and the luck of my Wang's family. ”
Wang Fuzhi looked at Wang Yan but reminded: "The dispute between monarchs and ministers has lasted for thousands of years, and now the system is the sole respect of the imperial power, and Shiheng wants to check and balance the imperial power and carry out reforms, I'm afraid it will not be so easy." At that time, not only the emperor, but also a large number of bachelors of science will come out to oppose it, but all innovations need to have ideas, ideas to attract like-minded people, what is Shiheng's innovative ideas? ”
Thought is the source of everything, since the collapse of etiquette, in the Spring and Autumn Period, a hundred schools of thought contended, that is the most glorious era of the Chinese nation's thought.
Countless ancestors, for the way out of the entire civilization, and emitted countless brilliant thoughts, but generally speaking, in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was still Confucianism, Law, Mo, and Taoism.
At that time, Confucianism emphasized that the benevolent person loves others, the people are noble and the monarch is light, and let the monarch implement benevolent government, and the Confucian sage also said that he himself was "panicked like a lost dog", which shows that Confucianism was not welcomed in the spring and autumn of the strife of the nations.
Mohist thought advocates "sage", "love and non-attack", it can be said that the Mohist thought on behalf of the bottom of the society, is the most unpopular thought in ancient China, the most unpopular with the rulers, "sage" means to let talented people to be officials, and I can't wait for the monarch to be elected by everyone, which is a bit similar to today's democratic's election, "both love and non-attack" is to have great love between everyone, do not start an unjust war.
Such ideas, although most in line with the interests of the common people, are obviously the most disgusted by the rulers, and must be suppressed and attacked in all dynasties.
In Taoist thought, rule by inaction, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, what is inaction, what is promising, you have to be merged by the promising Duke of Qi Huan, Duke Wen of Jin, and King Chuzhuang if you do nothing, and the princes hope that the five tyrants will be promising.
A hundred years of evolution, Confucianism and Taoism, and finally Qin Xing Legalism, swept away the **, and ended the disputes in the world, and it seems that Legalism has become the winner of the four disputes.
Qin Yifa won the world, but also died because of Legalism II, I have to say that the Legalist "system" the country with the law, and the law "system" the people, which is completely different from the rule of law emphasized today, is now "governance", Qin law is "system", is to control you.
The demise of Qin confirmed that it was impossible to rule the world by relying on Legalism alone, so the early Han Dynasty chose Taoism and ruled by inaction, so that the world could be cultivated and rejuvenated, and the rule of Wenjing would follow.
At this time, the world has been recuperating for decades, the place has recovered, and a new problem has arisen, and the facts are clear that Taoism cannot maintain the long-term operation of a country.
As the economy and people's livelihood recover and the local power gradually grows, if the central government continues to adopt the attitude of Taoist inaction, the local princes and vassal kings will begin to make a difference.
The Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms caused Taoism to fail as much as Legalism.
When the time came to the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, what kind of ideas should the country choose, except for the Mohists, who were not considered by the rulers at all, only Confucianism was left to appear on the stage of history.
At this time, a man named Dong Zhongshu appeared and proposed to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty the Confucianism that he had improved, so that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would "depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone", and cater to the ruler with the induction of heaven and man, the three outlines and five constants, and the divine authority of the monarch, so that Confucianism became the orthodoxy of Chinese society.
At this time, the dispute between Confucianism, Confucianism, Taoism and Mo, although it ended with the victory of Confucianism, but this Confucianism was not the other Confucianism, and so on to the Song and Ming dynasties, Confucianism benevolent people love others, and the people, nobles and gentlemen were suppressed.
From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to Dong Zhongshu's diversion, and then to Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty, Confucianism has also changed from a doctrine to a ruling technique, and finally became a religion, and its process is Confucianism-Confucianism-Confucianism.
Wang Yan listened to Wang Fuzhi's question, pondered for a while, and after half a ring, he stood up and said resolutely: "Purify the source, save Confucius and Mencius, rebuke Confucianism, destroy Confucianism, and love others." ”
Wang Yan's words, Wang Fuzhi was not surprised, he himself is also one of the pioneers against science, in addition, Huang Zongxi in eastern Zhejiang also has "the world is the main, the king is the guest." replace the law of the family with the law of the world" and other words.
"Does Shiheng want to revive ancient Confucianism and limit imperial power with the ideas of Confucianism in the Spring and Autumn Period?" Wang Fuzhi smiled.
Wang Yan nodded, "I have this kind of thought, but since ancient times, the reform has taken a long time and has been extremely repeated, and it is even more difficult to revive ancient Confucianism and spread ideas. At present, I still take the resistance to the Qing Dynasty as the first priority, disseminate ideas, and carry out reforms, so I can only make a slow layout first. ”
Wang Chaoping has listened to it for so long, and he has fully understood, "It is not easy to attack the matter of science. Since Wang Shouren founded Xinxue, my Wangmen's disciples, Zhezhong, Jiangyou, Nanzhong, Chuzhong, Northern, Guangdong, Fujian, Taizhou and other seven schools, have successively competed with Lixue, and after Li Zhen of the Taizhou School died in prison, my Xinxue is becoming more and more dangerous. Nowadays, Yangming's psychology has been more than 100 years, but the psychology of my Jiangyou Wangmen has never developed, which shows that the science of science is deeply rooted. ”
Wang Fuzhi nodded and said: "Father is right, science has the support of the imperial court, and other theories are difficult to develop, and it is very necessary for Shiheng to start laying out now." Now that Shiheng is in the middle of the court, it is much easier to spread the new doctrine than the previous one, so where does Shiheng plan to start first? ”
Wang Yan sat down and looked at Wang Jiezhi: "I wrote to my brother before, in fact, I wanted my brother to come over to teach Xinxue in Guozijian. My Wang family learned from the right king of Jiangjiang, which is a branch of heart learning, and heart learning comes from Mencius, which is in line with my intention to revive ancient Confucianism. Now that there is a serious shortage of officials in the imperial court, the prisoners of the Guozijian will definitely be reused by the imperial court, and if they are all influenced by Xinxue and Confucianism, it will be very easy for future reforms. ”
