Chapter 66: The spearhead is directed at Taoism
The resignation name shows the heart
Look at the essence and trace the roots
Zhu Xi left Beijing that day, got into the carriage, and went straight back to Jianyang Kaoting, and his disciples persuaded him not to care. The old master responded with a smile, and said: I have five out of ten and am determined to learn, thirty and stand, forty and not confused, fifty and know the destiny of heaven, sixty and obedient, seventy and do what I want, do not exceed the rules. Now the old man is six out of sixty, and he can't listen to anything and can't bear anything. The heart is like dust, and the smile is safe. Don't welcome or refuse, go with the flow.
He immediately immersed himself in his studies, and often went to the academy to give lectures.
Hearing that Zhao Ruyu was dismissed from office and cut off from his post, he knew about Fuzhou, and his calm heart swelled with layers of waves: traitors and fortunate people are deceitful and colluded, loyal and virtuous people are guilty of making mistakes, and they are displaced from the southern service, and people inside and outside the government and the opposition are discouraged and lazy, but the emperor is invisible, and does not change things, how can it be done in the long run?
Then he drafted tens of thousands of words, Chen said that the truth of treacherous and evil bullying and virtuous ministers was wronged, and after slight revisions, he was ready to write and send it.
When the disciple Cai Ji and others learned about it, they advised them in turn, saying that the teacher would not only not be able to save Prime Minister Zhao Cheng, but would also invite disaster.
Zhu Xi disagreed, and his righteousness was strict: a righteous man and a gentleman are like the sea, and if they are uneven, they will cry, how can they ignore water and fire just for their own sake?
Cai Jitong saw that the teacher insisted on sending it out of righteous indignation, so he came up with an idea. It turned out that this Zhu Xi was familiar with "Zhou Yi" and knew a little about Tai Chi Bagua. When there is a big event, I always love to occupy a hexagram to see the good and the bad.
The teacher wants to send it, the disciples don't send it, whether they send it or not, and it depends on the will of heaven, the auspicious hexagram is sent, and the evil hexagram is not sent, how about it?
There were many disciples, and Zhu Xi had to agree. So I took the hexagram, shook it for a while, and drew it casually, and then I got a sign, which was a hexagram with the word "escape" on it. This is a murderous hexagram, and the disciples couldn't help but say it, so they picked up the manuscript and lit it on fire.
When he learned of Zhao Ruyu's death, he couldn't hold it anymore, meditated for a day and a night, and then wrote a recital, asking the emperor to allow him to resign from all positions.
At this time, Zhu Xi still has a museum job called Huanzhang Pavilion to be systematized, which is equivalent to a technical title such as a professor, and the palace official said that the promotion of Nanjing Hongqing Palace is also a nominal position, both of which do not have to go to work, they can do what they want to do at home, but they have a fortune.
Zhao Ruyu's death also had a lot of effects in the capital: the folk tabloids said that Zhao Ruyu was killed by Qian Huairen, the governor of Hengzhou, and listed the bad things Qian said in front of Zhao.
On the outer wall of the East Mansion, there are often poems praising and mourning Zhao Ruyu, which are torn and pasted. There are two sentences written like this: A dead country knows what the public owes, and lonely loyalty depends on history. It means that Mr. has always been loyal to the country, and as we all know, he has now died unjustly, and his name will go down in history.
After Yang Wenduan's resignation, there was a change in the personnel of the execution. Jing Yutang is the prime minister of Zuo, Xie Shenfu is the governor of the political affairs, Ding Qiaoan is the governor of the Privy Council, and Wu Bogang is the secretary of the Privy Council. Of the four, two were appointed by the Imperial Pen as officials.
Wu Bogang, Zhao Ruyu's same list, is listed as Tanhua. When the filial piety dynasty, recommended by Zhou Bida, into the dynasty as the secretary of the province of the orthography, ten years later, the official to the general will be a young eunuch, from the ninth product to the sixth product. In the three years that Zhou Bida has been prime minister, he has hinted many times, but it is still the same. After Guangzong Zhao Dian ascended the throne, he was dissatisfied with the prime minister Zhou Bida arranged for him by Xiaozong, and knew that he had a grudge against Zhou, so he appointed him as a counselor. After Wu Bogang took office, the first thing he did was to impeach Zhou Bida, and Guangzong pushed the boat down the river and removed Zhou Bida.
He also arrested Chen Liang and tortured him in prison in the name of "talking about crimes". When Zhao Ruyu was in power, he knew that this person was good at drilling camps, and he was appointed as a squire in the military department and did not arrange actual affairs.
This time, Han Yanxuan was reused, promoted two levels in a row, and entered the government. Always thinking about what to do, after making up his mind, he went to the Han Mansion and took the initiative to report his thoughts to Han Yanxuan:
Since the establishment of the dynasty, the replacement of prime ministers is commonplace, and when Xiaozong was in power, there were also changes in half a year or a few months. But this time, it turned the world upside down, ministers, students, Confucian scholars jumped out from all directions, don't want official positions, don't have face, don't want their lives to resist, what is it for, Zhao Ruyu has only been the prime minister for a few months, and he has not seen how prominent his political achievements are, how can He De form this situation. After thinking about it, the root of He Mou is in Taoism, that is, the kind of scientific thinking that reading is supreme and relatives cannot interfere in politics.
A remark hit the weakness of Han Yanxuan, and Han Liansheng agreed:
What Wu Shumi said is extremely true, in one sentence, it is all the kind of door concept of a scholar who is making trouble. What's wrong with my relatives, no matter what official position my Han Yanxuan does, he will be loyal to the royal family, and it will only be beneficial, and there will be no disadvantage.
Wu Bogang followed the trend: Taiwei's loyal and patriotic heart is clear, today the glory of the eagle is rewarded, the saint is extraordinary, our family can chase the left and right, it is really honorable.
What do the Privy Councillors have to say about this matter?
I don't dare to be taught, but there are ways.
What's the solution?
Captain, just wait for my action.
Unknowingly, before he attacked, he was taken by Liu Jianxiu.
At this time, Liu Jianxiu had been promoted to the right counselor, and directly to the emperor, citing the story of filial piety and forbidden Taoism, and asking the court to issue an edict to assess science and distinguish the authenticity.
Emperor Zhao Kuan ordered: issue the original Shu, Zai Fu reconsider.
In the first year of Longxing (1163), not long after Xiaozong ascended the throne, Zhu Xi, who was in his prime, was recruited by the Son of Heaven with strong ideological principles and political ambitions.
In the first notebook, it is proposed that self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and level the world, Confucianism must be used as a classic, specifically, it is the Tao in "Lu Xue"; The second Daozi advocates fighting with revenge, defending with victory, not forgetting the enmity of the monarch and father who do not share the sky, and the things that must be fought together are one; The third way is to advocate the way of internal political affairs and external cultivation, hoping that the monarch will focus on sincerity and sincerity, cultivate morality, open the way of speech, and correct discipline.
There is nothing wrong with these theories, and there is also a positive and enterprising spirit. Unfortunately, Emperor Xiaozong was struggling with the failure of the Northern Expedition of Longxing and how to choose the war, and was not interested in his advanced theories. When I read the first book, I was still warm and happy, and when I was in the second and third times, I was silent, and I saw him again, and he was full of words, and he suddenly felt sour, and the famous words of Taizu rushed out, and he was also very helpful! The truth is one set at all, but in fact, how to do it, I didn't talk about it at all, so in the court, I told the ministers that Zhu Xi's words are not available, and the court will not talk about them in the future.
As soon as Wu Bogang saw that someone had come before him, he wrote a book to analyze Taoism.
At present, Taoism is divided into three categories, one is blindly agreed, the second is wantonly slandered, and the third is afraid of the prosperity of Taoism and dare not criticize, and the wise are wise to protect themselves. At the same time, Taoists are divided into two categories, one is those who devote themselves to research and do not talk nonsense, and the other is those who sell fame and seek fame and fortune.
To this end, he suggested that the imperial court should carry out the necessary screening of the so-called Taoists, uphold their righteousness and eliminate their hypocrisy, and the scholars should specialize in Confucius and Mencius, and do not need to flaunt themselves. The imperial court can ban those Taoism that sells fame and fame for fame and fortune.
Emperor Zhao Kuo concocted the same method: issued the original sparse, Zai Fu reconsidered. After the prime minister's ministry reconsidered, the two of them were announced in the court and discussed by the officials.
The recital of Liu and Wu was like a pebble thrown on the surface of a calm lake, causing ripples.
Wang Kui, the secretary of the country, Dong Yufa, and Li Yunsi, the servant of the ministry, admired Taoism and opposed the listing of Taoism as pseudo-science, and were successively reprimanded and degraded to the prefecture and county; Dr. Sun Yuanqing, Yuan Shiqiao, and Guozizheng Chen Wushang were also dismissed.
Hu Yingyuan, who had just been promoted from supervising the imperial history to Zuo Zhengyan, said: In recent years, pseudo-learning has been rampant for a while, and the picture is wrong, shaking the emperor, resisting the holy virtue, and almost causing chaos.
For this reason, it was suggested that the imperial court should make Taoism a pseudo-science and prohibit it.
The political hall felt that the time was ripe, so a vigorous Daoist criticism movement was launched.
