Chapter 807: Human Needs
The carriage must have jingled, shuttling through the streets and alleys with Yang Reform. k update
In the afternoon, Yang Gengai took some free time to go out.
The afternoon sun was a little hot, and Yang Gengai sat in the carriage for a while, and he also felt a little hot.
"Butler, find a teahouse, take a rest, in addition, bring Huang Zongxi, I have something to talk to him about......" Yang Reform instructed lightly, some things are already being laid out, and they have been pushed to a certain extent, but they need to move the next chess piece.
"The little one understands!" Wang Chengen immediately agreed, under this hot sun, it is indeed not suitable to run around, it is better to find a place to rest.
……
When Yang Gengai went to the teahouse, there were no other guests here.
After drinking a cup of tea and staring out the window in a daze for a while, Huang Zongxi arrived.
Huang Zongxi's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the person in front of him, it was hard to believe that the person in front of him was His Majesty the Emperor, and the emperor saw him in such an inconspicuous teahouse.
"Minister......" Huang Zongxi hesitated for a while, and immediately saluted in surprise.
“…… This is outside, but there is no need for such a big gift, so as not to leak the collection and cause unnecessary trouble, I have an alias outside, the surname Yang, the name reform, the word Baidu, Taichong calls me Brother Baidu, or Brother Yang can ......" Yang Reform said with a smile, stopping Huang Zongxi from saluting.
Huang Zongxi immediately stopped saluting and shouted stiffly: "...... I've seen Gongzi ......", called Brother Yang, called Brother Baidu, Huang Zongxi really can't be called.
"Sit down, outside, you don't need to be too restrained, it's ......" Yang Gengai said with a smile, motioning for Huang Zongxi to sit.
Huang Zongxi looked cramped and carefully sat opposite Yang Reform.
Yang Gai took matters into his own hands, poured a cup of tea for Huang Zongxi, and then asked, "...... Where will I be assigned to teach this time? ”
Huang Zongxi was in a hurry by this sudden gift, and hurriedly thanked him, but he didn't dare to make a big salute, and he was very cramped.
“…… ......Huang Zongxi replied crampedly, a few days ago, Guozijian, the students who went to Beijing to catch the exam fought, he was one of the leaders, according to the punishment, he got out to teach for a year, and now this teaching place is also divided, but it is assigned to Huguang.
"Blame me for punishing too much? Ruthless? Yang Gengai finished pouring the tea and motioned for Huang Zongxi to drink tea.
Huang Zongxi is even more cramped, the emperor personally poured tea, this courtesy, is really indescribable, even the big members of the dynasty, I am afraid that they can't easily get the emperor's courtesy, but he got it, this favor is too big, it was originally a little cramped, but now it is more and more cramped.
“…… Returning to the son, the little one never dared to think like this, it was wrong to beat people, it was wrong to fight, since he had done something wrong, he should be punished......" Huang Zongxi hurriedly said.
Yang Gengai looked at Huang Zongxi, looked at Huang Zongxi, who was a little flustered and cramped, and said, "Do you know why I punished you to teach?" ”
"This ...... Returning to the son, I don't know ......" Huang Zongxi thought about it and said, very puzzled.
Yang Gengai thought for a while, organized the language, and said, "...... Let's not mention this for the time being, let's talk about why you started the dispute......" Yang Reform didn't say why Huang Zongxi was punished to teach, but talked about it.
"Returning to Gongzi, but for the sake of reading, for the theory of the sage, for the theory of His Majesty......" Huang Zongxi immediately agreed.
"Oh, for reading? For saints? For Your Majesty? Can you be specific? Yang Gai said.
"Returning to Gongzi, it's still that question, everyone in the world reads, is it good or bad, is it feasible or not? The students on the lower side think it is feasible, but the other side thinks that it is impossible and unachievable, so the two sides have been arguing fiercely...... "Huang Zongxi said what he had been working hard for, and the whole person calmed down. Forget that this is a face-to-face conversation with the emperor. …,
In the face of Huang Zongxi's eloquent talk, Yang Reform did not disturb, but let Huang Zongxi continue.
“…… In addition, it is the debate that His Majesty needs Confucianism how to solve it, His Majesty said that people need to be Confucian, therefore, Confucianism should be to solve people's needs as their own responsibility, people need, even if I Confucianism wants to work hard for ......, Childe, this controversy has been a long time, they believe that people's ** is unlimited, so the needs are also unlimited, so for the infinite ** dedication, it really shouldn't, should save the principles of heaven, destroy people's desires, that is, destroy people's needs, should not take unlimited needs and ** as the code of conduct pursued by Confucianism, only save heavenly principles, destroy people's desires, Only then can the world be peaceful,...... People are uneasy, so they shouldn't interpret Confucian characters based on people's needs......" Huang Zongxi began to explain these things in detail.
“…… Finally, there is the ...... about the saint" Huang Zongxi said this, but he didn't dare to say it, he didn't dare to doubt the words of the saint before, but now, he doesn't believe it so much, whether it's the fact, or the emperor asked him to fight for the needs of the people, almost all of them are the denial of the saint, he has doubts about the saint, but this doubt does not dare to speak, offended the emperor, the emperor can not be investigated, but he can say bad things about the saint ......, this consequence, he has to think carefully.
Yang Gengai listened, and tapped the table with his fingers rhythmically and gently.
"Then in your opinion, is it a good thing or a bad thing for people in the world to read? Is it possible or impossible? Yang asked reform.
"Returning to Gongzi, this is naturally a great thing, there has never been a dynasty that can dare to dare to do such a magnificent cause, and only the current dynasty can do this kind of thing, everyone reads, naturally it is a good thing that cannot be better......" Huang Zongxi said immediately.
"Well, have you ever thought about the consequences of everyone studying? In the past, everyone was afraid to think about it, and it couldn't be done, but now it's being done, but you can think about the consequences of everyone reading books......" Yang Gengai then asked.
“…… In this ......, everyone has books to read, then the world is a saint disciple, there is no white Ding in the world, I am a great prosperous ......" Huang Zongxi's eyes were a little dodged, and he didn't dare to face the emperor's eyes. Everyone is a disciple of a saint, and they are all children of Confucianism, so how should the tenants, subordinates, and slaves in that family get along? This problem has gradually surfaced, and it has become a matter that the entire Ming Dynasty scholars have to face, this matter is now an unsolvable matter, and it has become a big stone in the hearts of the Ming scholars.
“…… I remember chatting with Yan Sheng Gong a few days ago, and I also talked about this issue, at that time, I also joked that Yan Sheng Gong is a disciple of a saint, and their family is a descendant of a saint, and this descendant of a saint enslaves and oppresses the disciples of the saint, isn't it interesting? …… Tai Chong doesn't need to avoid and dodge this question, but it's a problem that must be faced, isn't it? Yang Gai said with a smile.
Huang Zongxi listened to what Yang Reform said, his face was red and white, this is really naked.
“…… In the next ......, "Huang Zongxi can't sit still anymore, this is really too damaging."
"Get up, you can just know this, don't spread it everywhere, tell you, I want you to know it in your own heart, this matter is a problem that must be faced, you can't avoid it, you can't dodge it, don't you?" Yang reformed and helped Huang Zongxi.
"Gongzi Xie......" Huang Zongxi got up in a cold sweat, this is too heavy, this is related to the root of the emperor, to deny this is to deny the foundation of the emperor! What was the Emperor thinking? What to do? Huang Zongxi's mind went blank. O descendants of saints enslave and oppress the disciples of saints! What a poignant question? Is this the consequence of everyone having a book to read? …,
"Isn't the logic confusing? Isn't the contradiction acute? Yang Gengai asked with a smile.
Huang Zongxi's mind was blank, his face was full of sweat, his eyes looked at Yang Reform vacantly, and only after half a sound did he regain some brilliance, and hurriedly agreed: "...... Yes, back to your majesty...... Childe, the small one is indeed very messy...... and it is indeed sharp......"
Looking at Huang Zongxi, who was at a loss and had empty eyes, Yang Reform smiled again: "...... It's the logic is confused, of course, it's too much to mess up your heart...... it's the sharp contradictions, it's the contradictions in the development of the times are very sharp, to the point where they have to be reconciled......"
“…… ...... logic confused? Is it a contradiction in the development of the times? ......" Huang Zongxi was still chattering with empty eyes, as if the full energy of his body had been sucked away by something.
"Yes, everyone reads is the yearning of the saint, it is the lifelong concept of the saint, and it is also the reason why the saint is a saint, and the master of the world is not called in vain, but the actual situation is that there is really such a day, but this wish is cruel, and there is a great conflict with some things that are pursued today, for example, there will be a matter of the descendants of the saint oppressing and enslaving the saint's students, this is the confusion of logic, I think, the saint may never have thought that there would be such a day, there would be such a cruel result......" Yang Reform easily said this kind of rebellious words, but there was no burden, and the difference in concepts made Yang Reform not have many scruples.
Huang Zongxi's mind was blank again, and when he grew so big, the impact on his mind today was the greatest, and the world he had pursued, understood, and fought for before had collapsed.
“…… There is only one ending, either the saint is wrong, he should not aspire to everyone to read, he should not say that there is no class, he should not sit in the position of the master of all ages, and he should not say that everyone reads as beautiful as the Buddha kingdom in the heavenly realm, because this is nonsense at all, it is impossible to do it, it is a trick ......to deceive people, of course, there is also a possibility, that is, the way of this world is wrong, and some things that are practiced now are contrary to the ideals and words of the saints, and do not match the original intention of the saints, and they must be corrected......" Yang Reform analyzed these problems to Huang Zongxi one by one.
Huang Zongxi's mind is still blank, the sage is wrong? Shouldn't a saint be a saint? Or is the world wrong today? Changing the way of the world today? If someone else says this kind of thing, I am afraid that he has already gone up at this time, but the person sitting opposite is the current saint, but it is the current emperor, he can't, can't, and doesn't dare to do this, and the rest is only helpless hesitation.
"This question is the root of the reading dispute, and you must have argued, but it is impossible to be as thorough and complete as I said today, right?" Yang Reform said with a smile, ideological enlightenment, someone must lead, someone must guide, although he set Kong Yinzhi to do this, but Kong Yinzhi is not so easy to use, and he has a certain age, and he has to find a "successor", and he has to find a latecomer, the enlightenment in the field of thought is not something that can be completed overnight, it may take several generations to complete, and it is indeed necessary to create an ideological "enlightener". This is also Yang Reform's willingness to find Huang Zongxi today.
Huang Zongxi's mind continued to go blank, and after listening to the emperor's words, there was almost no reaction.
“…… I was frightened, confused, and ignorant, and asked my son to solve my doubts......" Huang Zongxi knelt down again and asked for help.
“…… This needs to be solved from the needs of people, and if Taichong carefully studies this needs, he will naturally gain ......," Yang continued.
"What do people need? ......" Huang Zongxi's mind was still blank, kneeling on the ground, standing upright, and muttering.
"Yes, human needs, if you solve this problem with human needs, then everything will be clear......," Yang Gengai continued, in order to enlighten the enlighteners of this thought, Yang Gengai did not use his brains. …,
“…… I also asked the son to give advice...... Huang Zongxi knelt straight on the ground, pious and piously asked for advice, but this is not kneeling for imperial power, but kneeling for knowledge.
In addition to breathing, eating, clothing, and housing, people must have higher-level needs, such as reading, isn't it?" Yang asked Gengai.
"Hui Gongzi, yes, if there is money left over from the family, almost every family wants to send their children to study, in the hope of gaining a reputation and glorifying the ......ancestors," Huang Zongxi said.
"Yes, this is what people need, they are well fed, warmly clothed, they have a house to live in, they naturally have to consider higher-level things, they naturally want more things, they naturally want to use more things, do you think this is wrong?" Yang asked Gengai.
"Hui Gongzi, this ......" Huang Zongxi thought about it, and became even more confused, insatiable, and insatiable......
"Let's put it this way, I just heard what you said about saving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires, as if you shouldn't pursue people's needs, as if you said that people's desires are people's needs, and they should be destroyed, right?" Yang asked Gengai.
"Hui Gongzi, yes, those people compare His Majesty's needs to human desires, thinking that they are things that need to be forbidden, and they should not be promoted, only when they are destroyed, can the people abide by the law in peace and stability, and the country can be peaceful and long......-lasting," Huang Zongxi said.
“…… If he really destroys people's desires, then he should be fed and clothed and don't do anything, just stay at home, why should he study? Why do you want to test for fame? Yang Gai said.
“…… This ......," Huang Zongxi said blankly.
“…… He has studied, learned, fame, become an official, and become a master, but he said that he will destroy people's desires, destroy other people's needs, and let others not think about studying, don't think about a better life, do you say this person is very hypocritical? If it were according to his own theory, he shouldn't have read and write, he shouldn't have a fame, he shouldn't have a great reputation, right? Yang Reform continued to flicker.
“…… This, Childe, this seems to make sense, this is indeed a bit hypocritical...... That is to say, judging by the level of human needs, there will be a need for reading after breathing, satiety, and warmth, which is a natural principle and should not be forbidden, so everyone is right to read, Childe, I don't know if I can say it right? "When it comes to the issue of preserving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires, Huang Zongxi obviously has his own ideas, and the dirty things done by the inventor of this set of rhetoric and theories are not a secret for readers, and there are not a few people who sneer at their set of rhetoric and theories, but Huang Zongxi is not very interested in this set of theories, and has always been very repulsive, and he can understand the emperor's statement, and he directly said this set of theories and hypocrisy at the moment.
"It is said that from the level of human needs, the most basic breath is followed by food and clothing, which is the most basic needs of people, and it is also an indelible demand, these needs are the principles of heaven, anyone who ignores and ignores this principle of heaven will pay a heavy price, the light is the death of the individual, the family is ruined, the country is eroded, and the people suffer, so it is impossible to deny the needs of people, and can only try to meet the needs of people is the right way, natural, on top of food and clothing, to meet the needs of people at a higher level, it is also the right way, It's not something bad that can't be seen, and it's not something bad that can't be said......," Yang said.
“…… Of course, limited to the problem of limited ability, it is impossible to achieve perfection, maybe it is not possible to really achieve everyone to read for the time being, but this logic is not wrong, anything is from scratch slowly, in ancient times, people who could read and write had geometry? What is the geometry of the time of the saints? To the Han and Tang dynasties and the Song Dynasty, are there more and more people reading here? If a poor family has perseverance and perseverance, they can also obtain the right to read, but now everyone has gone through the study step by step, isn't it? Yang reformed and flickered. …,
“…… What Gongzi said even, listening to Gongzi's words, most of my heart was confused, that is to say, there is nothing wrong with reading, there is nothing wrong with everyone reading, and there is nothing wrong with saints, but what is wrong is that many people are unwilling to let everyone read, and after they themselves read books, they ask others to destroy people's desires and needs, which is unreasonable, this is against the principles of heaven, Childe, it is they who should destroy people's desires, and they are also ......the ones who should destroy people's needs" Huang Zongxi seemed to have figured out something and said.
"That's right, so some things are no longer suitable for this world and need to be improved, and the entry point for improvement is naturally to carry forward the theory of human needs, so that everyone can understand that everyone can read is what people need, it is the principle of heaven, and it is the right ......way," Yang said in a flickering way of reform. Yang Reform knows his own business, and the reason why his current reform can still be carried out is to a large extent due to his extremely high prestige, which is almost always correct to suppress, this form is very dangerous, once the prestige is damaged, once the consistent right is wrong, the change may be subject to an unprecedented backlash, perhaps busy for 30 years, once back to the pre-liberation period. Yang Gai knows that the way to change this situation is to guide the ideological change, guide and cultivate more "like-minded" people with the same way of thinking to work together, with more people to promote, with ideological identity, with ideological change, the change of the Ming Dynasty, it is possible to truly realize, otherwise it will be the death of the people.
