Chapter 468: The Ideological Collision of Confucianism and Fangxue

"It's a temptation!"

Fang Xing leaned back on the recliner and said lazily: "Not only is it testing Your Majesty's attitude towards you and me, but it is mainly testing whether Your Majesty can accept the further penetration of civil officials." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhu Zhanji's face was not very good-looking, and as soon as he learned about the scene this morning, he immediately rushed to Fang Xing here.

Xie Jin was silent, because he himself was not a temptation, but a recklessness.

"Brother Dehua, Grandpa Huang has given them a lot of affairs in recent years, isn't it enough?"

Zhu Di is very diligent, but he can't compare with his Lao Tzu, so after running in with the cabinet, he also consciously delegated some power to Hu Guang and them.

Fang Xing smiled and said meaningfully: "The sweetness of the right and the ambition of the scholar, after trying it, who doesn't want to control it a little more!" ”

Li Shanchang was the prime minister of Zuo back then, and he was also knighted as a civil official and the Duke of Korea.

When he was recuperating in the later period, he still got Zhu Yuanzhang's trust, and gradually became rigid and self-serving, constantly testing Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line.

From the beginning of his marriage to Hu Weiyong, the government at that time had begun to get out of control.

As for whether Hu Weiyong wanted to rebel, or Li Shanchang was also involved, this point will probably never be clear.

However, Hu Weiyong was promoted by Li Shanchang, and the two also married, plus Li Shanchang relied on his high merits, and touched Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line many times, and in the end, it was inevitable that the family would end up.

And today's Hu Guang's status is similar to that of Hu Weiyong back then, but Zhu Di is in power and the country is solid, so of course Hu Guang will not be suspected of rebellion.

"They feel that the Ming Dynasty should be governed by civil officials, as for the king, it is good to rule by hanging the arch, and they will naturally add a few strokes when they repair the history books, then it is still the Ming monarch!"

Of course, Mingjun, as long as you don't care about anything, we will definitely give you a few good words at that time to ensure that your good reputation will be passed on to future generations.

But......

Fang Xing smiled and said disdainfully: "If they mess up the pot, it is estimated that the king who rules by the bow is the best scapegoat, and there will probably be one more tyrant in the history books!" ”

Zhu Zhanji was shocked when he heard this, how old is he now, Zhu Di hadn't started to explain these ways of monarchs and ministers to him at all, so when he heard Fang Xing's analysis, he couldn't help but look at Xie Jin.

Xie Jin used to be a 'first assistant'-like existence, so he naturally had experience in this kind of thing.

But Xie Jin smiled bitterly: "The old man only knew how to do things back then, and if he was not satisfied, he would say that he was not happy, but now that I think about it, it was indeed a bit too much back then." ”

But if you want to say that Xie Jin can have a scheming like Hu Guang, Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji will not believe it, and Zhu Di will not believe it, otherwise he would not be able to get out of the edict alive.

This is a stunned young man! is still a genius.

Zhu Zhanji's eyes turned cold, and he asked: "Brother Dehua, the junior brother knows, but can the civil officials still dare to suppress the king?" ”

"Why don't you dare?"

Fang Xing said slowly: "When the entire Ming Dynasty, only the imperial examination can get ahead, then a consensus will be formed from top to bottom......"

Zhu Zhanji held his breath, he felt that Fang Xing's words would probably be shocking.

"I've taught you some philosophy, do you think there are many similarities with Confucianism?"

In fact, Fang Xing understands the philosophy of a fart, but he just found a few books and passed them on to his students.

Zhu Zhanji nodded, and Fang Xing smiled at this time: "Confucianism emphasizes the cognition of things, the cultivation of the mind, the cultivation of the body, and the unity of the family again, what do you think of this?" Statecraft? ”

But without these, how strong would the human heart be! How to study? ”

Xie Jin retorted with some unhappiness that in his opinion, these teachings in the university are the true meaning of life and cannot be changed.

Hehe!

Fang Xing smiled and said lightly, "But how do I feel that this is cultivating the Dao?" ”

Xie Jin was furious, but Fang Xing didn't give him a chance to argue, and continued: "Life is different, and it is indeed necessary to cultivate the mind and body!" ”

Xie Jin's face was slightly pale, and Zhu Zhanji's body couldn't help but lean back slightly, because he knew Fang Xing's means, which was first suppressed and then raised.

"But it's just wishful thinking on your part!"

Fang Xing sneered: "The so-called cultivation of the mind and body, in my opinion, the environmental impact is the biggest factor, followed by the human heart. The dragon gave birth to nine sons are still different, does Confucianism want to make the world the same with those books? Joke! ”

Xie Jin said angrily: "Nonsense! If there is no Confucianism to correct people's hearts, where can it be orderly, and where can it be humble! ”

Confucianism educates us, the prince of heaven and earth, of course, there is a hidden official who did not say it.

Commoners, you have to be obedient to the officials, because this is the need of order, and it is the natural division of class.

"Look, it didn't take a few words to reveal its true form!"

Fang Xing said with a smile: "Before the Han Dynasty, the Qin law was severe, but Shang Jun died tragically later, this is the price." ”

"Dong Zhongshu shouted out to depose the hundred schools, respect Confucianism alone, and then take it as his responsibility to cater to the king, and finally succeeded in making Confucianism a prominent school, living in the temple and covering the common people's ....."

"But what about later?"

Fang Xing sneered: "After respecting Confucianism, how many generations will prosper and how many generations will die? ”

The Central Plains Dynasty under the rule of Confucianism was always caught in a cycle of chaos.

"Slim? Those corrupt officials have been repaired? ”

"If it's cultivated, why is it useless?"

"Human nature is greedy, and this is the most reasonable!"

Fang woke up, walked to the table and poured a cup of tea for everyone, then paced: "In my opinion, Confucianism is useful, but it can only be used to assist, not to govern the country!" ”

Fang Xing pressed his hand and motioned for Xie Jin to wait for him to finish.

"Not everyone can be taught to become a great master, and with his blind slogans, it is better to admit his own shortcomings in a down-to-earth manner and introduce other theories to supplement himself."

Thinking of the corrupt officials who have been brought to justice since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Xie Jin is silent, obviously he also knows that Confucianism blindly works hard in these aspects and flaunts his morality, which is too much.

"And then there's the article."

Speaking of the article, Fang Xing couldn't help but shake his head and said: "The imperial examination is used to govern the world, but you actually think that you can govern the world by relying on those students who have passed the eight-share essay examination?" ”

"Half of the treatise on ruling the world, do you know how to build weapons? Do you know how to farm? Do you know how to build a sea boat? ”

Xie Jin was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't there craftsmen and farmers? What's the use of me waiting? ”

Zhu Zhanji had already heard the meaning of Fang Xing's words, so he just lowered his eyes slightly, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

"Yes! What do you want? ”

Fang Xing looked at the big trees that began to sprout in the yard, and said faintly: "Those who don't know how to farm should manage craftsmen, those who don't know how to farm should manage farming, and those who don't know how to build ships should manage shipbuilding, so what use do you have?" ”

Xie Jin opened his mouth and wanted to say that we are herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, but when he thought of Fang Xing's words just now, the herdsmen did not understand the art of herdsmen, and they were immediately depressed.

Fang Xing laughed and concluded: "Fang Xue is pragmatic, and it will be useful if you learn it, rather than studying the way of a gentleman, the way of a saint, tell me, which doctrine is more useful?" ”

This was the first time that Fang Xing took the initiative to propose the word Fang Xue, and Zhu Zhanji knew what it meant, so he raised his eyebrows and said: "As far as the country is concerned, only look at the actual results!" ”

Xie Jin said dejectedly: "But the old man looks at these classes you have opened, after these students come out, can they become officials?" ”

This is the spear of the son, the shield of the attacker!

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "Of course not!" ”

Before Xie Jin could show a smug look, Fang Xing said categorically: "I once gave His Majesty a lesson and proposed that my Ming officials, starting from the ranks, must start from the lower levels, that is to say, they must first be officials, and then they can be slowly promoted according to their political achievements!" ”

"It can't be!"

Xie Jin almost denied without hesitation: "No one asks under the window for ten years, and he becomes famous all over the world ......in one fell swoop."

"So whether you are competent or not, you have to give him an official, right?"

Fang Xing looked at Xie Jin with a smile and asked.

Xie Jin was stunned and couldn't answer, Fang Xing nodded and secretly praised him for not messing around, and then said: "Everything is inferior, only reading is high, this is not wrong in itself, but the mistake is that it is Confucianism, do you have to be an official when you study?" ”

"What can you do if you don't become an official?"

Xie Jin himself is an official fan, otherwise he would not take the initiative to beg Zhu Di for abuse.

Fang Xing shook his index finger and said, "The students who came out of Zhixing Academy, tell me what else they can do if they are no longer officials?" ”

Xie Jin remembered the textbooks he had read recently, and his body suddenly shook, and he looked at Fang Xing in shock.

"You're digging into the foundation of my Confucianism!"

After learning Fang Xue, even if you don't go to become an official, you can still easily find your future with that knowledge.

Whether it's physics, chemistry, or even mathematics, politics, geography, ......, when students have learned these things, no industry can make it difficult for them.

And if Confucianism does not become an official or teach, then it has to relearn other knowledge to make a living.

Zhu Zhanji pondered: Could it be that students trained by Confucianism can only become officials?

But are they up to the task?

The lessons of history are not far away, and everyone knows how the officials of pure Confucianism are!
