Chapter 766: The intensification of contradictions

The people of Beijing are still enthusiastically playing with glass rubbing glass to make electric sparks, and they are still enthusiastically discussing the construction of the human altar. This kind of new thing constantly impacted the vision of the Ming Dynasty, Taoism also continued to impact the status of Confucianism, and new concepts also continued to impact the old, old, and conservative concepts.

Some people are busy promoting their new ideas and discoveries, such as Zhang Xianyong.

Some people are in full swing about their own business, and some people are arguing their ideas day and night, anyway...... Everyone is busy with their own business.

Others are angry about the constant destruction of old traditions and are ready to fight back......

Yang Reform was also busy with his own affairs, Sun Yuanhua was preparing to build a concrete dam, Yang Reform asked him to do more investigation, make more preparations, and make a plan first, Sun Yuanhua readily agreed.

Yang Reform is also busy because of this matter, Yang Reform is not like this, according to Sun Yuanhua to do, the situation of industry and agriculture fighting for water is a foregone conclusion, Yang Reform was ready to give priority to industry, but since Sun Yuanhua proposed this matter, Yang Reform felt that perhaps he should follow the choice of "history", so Yang Reform chose to revise his plan. Revising the plan is a rather huge undertaking and it is necessary to harmonize the relationships between the various departments and to harmonize them with each other.

"Your Majesty, Yan Shenggong asks to see you!" Wang Chengen reported softly in front of the emperor, for fear of disturbing the emperor's thoughts.

"Oh, is it? Kong Yinzhi is here? Is there something wrong with him? Yang paused his thinking and asked.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid asked, and the Holy Father of Yan refused to say......" Wang Chengenyu reported, with a lot of self-reproach, one of his tasks is to find out the intentions of the people who came to see the emperor, so that the emperor can know in advance, and can do something in advance, so as not to be caught off guard.

"Oh, didn't he just come the other day? Why again? …… I know, let him in......" Yang said.

"Slave Command!" Wang Chengen said.

……

Kong Yinzhi came to the palace with a lot of troubles, Zhang Xianyong kept showing those magical things, and now the entire court and even the world are talking about him, and the suppression of Confucianism by Taoism can be clearly felt.

If Zhang Xianyong's squeeze on Confucianism, although Kong Yinzhi is troubled, he may not be so troubled, after all, in the Ming Dynasty, only scholars can be officials, and he still has the emperor's promise.

But obviously not only these, the greater troubles are from other aspects, and now all kinds of new things that are emerging one after another, all kinds of things that break conventions and traditions, have begun to make many people who are accustomed to routine and traditional life have a lot of disgust, and these disgusts have begun to accumulate and gradually erupt into conflicts and frictions.

And Zhang Xianyong, who is in the limelight, will inevitably become a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of some people, but Zhang Xianyong's status is no longer something that anyone can shake, so Confucianism, which has a lot of conflicts with Taoism, has become a savior in the eyes of some people.

Kong Yinzhi also had no choice but to come to see the emperor, he was forced to be in a hurry and had to come to the emperor.

"Your Majesty!" Kong Yinzhi saluted neatly.

"......Excuse me," Yang said. This time, instead of letting Kong Yinzhi sit down, he let him stand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Kong Yinzhi thanksgiving.

"Looking at the Qing family's face, it seems that there is something in his heart! I don't know what ...... is going on," Yang asked directly.

"Back to Your Majesty, ......," Kong Yinzhi replied embarrassedly. He was born to represent a lot of things, and what he didn't want was not something he could casually get rid of.

"Oh, but what's the difficulty, say it, I'll see if there is a way to ......solve it," Yang Reform said, Yang Reform looked at Kong Yinzhi's face, and he could already roughly guess what was going on, today's Ming Dynasty, the change is gradually accelerating, social turmoil and disputes, will definitely gradually intensify, and the contradictions will become more and more antagonistic. …,

“…… Your Majesty, it's really hard for the minister to say this......" Kong Yinzhi said embarrassedly.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it......," Yang said.

“…… Your Majesty, many people think that in this world, there are more and more strange tricks, and more and more deviant things...... Kong Yinzhi brought up this matter again, last time, he came, but quickly sent the emperor away, obviously, he did not find what he wanted in the emperor, and some people behind him were not satisfied with the emperor's perfunctory attitude.

"Oh? …… Is it? ......" Yang Gengai's eyebrows were raised, and he looked at Kong Yinzhi, still a little dissatisfied in his heart, since you Kong Yinzhi wants to be a saint, how can you not have a little effort, how can you not have a little difficulty? If everything in the world is pie in the sky, it is obviously impossible. However, Yang Reform can also understand Kong Yinzhi, a huge society wants to carry out reform, and its energy is by no means something that ordinary people can bear, and it is not uncommon for Kong Yinzhi to come to see him.

Kong Yinzhi hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at the emperor.

Yang Reform began to think about this matter, the energy of a social change and transformation cannot be ignored or underestimated, Kong Yinzhi couldn't resist the pressure to come to himself, but he couldn't keep being so perfunctory, he still had to think of some other way to deal with it.

Kong Yinzhi lowered his head and didn't dare to raise his head, how could he not know the reason why he came here, how could he not know the whole story of these things? Although it seems that Zhang Xianyong is standing on the cusp of the storm and doing these things with a dazzling attitude, it seems that he should also find Zhang Xianyong, but Kong Yinzhi knows that it is actually the emperor who can really control these things in the world, Zhang Xianyong is just a person who stands at the front desk and "dances", and it is the emperor who actually controls all this......

“…… The Qing family said that Zhang Xianyong, a real person, was too bizarre? Yang Gengai thought for a long time before asking. Kong Yinzhi's matter, I still have to think of a way to solve it for him, otherwise, it is not a way to completely rely on his own prestige to suppress, that will concentrate all the rebound power on himself, if the rebound force is too great, he will fall into passivity, and he will end up with a thankless end, so it is bound to have to shift the target and transfer the pressure.

“…… Back to Your Majesty, this ......, the minister is not saying that Zhang Zhenren is doing something wrong, but these things are too contrary to tradition, many things, people are really unacceptable, many people feel that as a Taoist, you should have the consciousness of being a Taoist, and you should not do things that are inconsistent with Taoists......" Kong Yinzhi said Zhang Xianyong's body, and he could only say it to this extent, and he didn't dare to say it too clearly, he only hoped that the emperor could understand his hardships.

“…… I can understand and understand what the Qing family said, not to mention whether the things Zhang Zhenren did were right or wrong, these things did cause a lot of waves, and they did have a lot of impact on tradition...... "Yang Reform made his words clear.

"Your Majesty Shengming......" Kong Yinzhi breathed a sigh of relief, it is still easy for the emperor to speak, there is no need to let himself hold back so hard, since the emperor himself has made his words clear, it will save him from offending people.

“…… Does the Qing family feel that Zhang Zhenren has posed a big threat to Confucianism and squeezed the survival of Confucianism? Yang Reform changed his words and began to bring the problem to the conflict between Taoism and Confucianism, the impact of the previous new things on traditional things, Yang Reform is not to talk about it, this thing, now can not be discussed, can only wait for the follow-up means to come out, now to say this, even if he is the power of the emperor, he can not say clearly.

“…… This ......" Kong Yinzhi looked up at the emperor suspiciously, the emperor seemed to be saying one thing, but he felt that the emperor seemed to have changed his tone.........

“…… Returning to Your Majesty, the minister did not dare to talk about the good or bad of Taoism,...... It's just that many people think that those things are too outrageous and too deviant, and they are not good for my Ming Dynasty, but they are just obscene and ingenious, and they are afraid that they will lose their minds...... Kong Yinzhi said.

"Well, I have heard this kind of words, I can understand the meaning of the Qing family, regardless of whether Zhang Zhenren is right or wrong, has the Qing family ever thought about how to deal with this situation? …… Don't worry, I'm just assuming with the Qing family here, not really how it is, the Qing family intuitively said......" Yang asked the reform.

"Your Majesty, I don't know, please teach ......Your Majesty" Kong Yinzhi hurriedly lowered his head and said, if you ask how to deal with Zhang Xianyong, he obviously doesn't have it, Zhang Xianyong is standing behind the emperor, unless he can have a way to bring down the emperor, otherwise, Zhang Xianyong will not be able to fall. Thinking of the difficulty of overthrowing the emperor, Kong Yinzhi shuddered unconsciously. He himself was still supported by the emperor, why did he fight with the emperor? Just by virtue of his status as a holy father?

"I want to ask the Qing family, do you have a deeper understanding of the word 'human needs'?" Yang Gengai thought for a while and asked.

"People need to ......, Your Majesty, the ministers are studying these two words every day, and the Taoist priest has a lot of experience...... Kong Yinzhi hurriedly agreed.

"Okay...... then I will ask the Qing family again, what do you think of Master Xu?" Yang Gengai thought for a moment and asked.

"Master Xu,...... Your Majesty, but Xu Guangqi Xu Zixian? Kong Yinzhi asked.

"Yes, the people in the world who can be called masters are these two people, the Qing family might as well talk about it, what they think of Master Xu......" Yang Reform said.

Kong Yinzhi was depressed and had a headache, he didn't know why the emperor wanted him to talk about Xu Guangqi, now this person's reputation has long been all over the world, and he is praised by a living bodhisattva. It seems that he should be praised a lot, but in fact, Kong Yinzhi knows that many people still have a lot of opinions about Xu Guangqi, saying that he has entered the Yiren Sect and forgotten his ancestors. Zhang Xianyong doesn't know how to talk about it, and now he wants him to talk about Xu Guangqi, and he is even more difficult to talk about.

Seeing Kong Yinzhi in a dilemma, Yang Reform said: "The Qing family thinks that Master Xu has devoted himself to the Yiren Sect and forgotten his ......ancestors."

“…… Your Majesty, the minister will never say this......" Kong Yinzhi immediately denied it, this is not something that can be said casually. The emperor himself said just now that the only one in the world who can be called a master by the emperor wants him to count the disadvantages of Xu Guangqi, isn't this uncomfortable for himself?

"The Qing family doesn't need to rush to shirk, I know that this kind of voice has always existed in the government and the opposition, and I don't deny it, nor do I intend to suppress or prohibit the existence of this voice...... I just want to ask, why did Master Xu enter the Yiren Sect? But do you really want to be the one who forgets his ancestors and devotes himself to the people? Yang Gengai asked lightly.

“…… Returning to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Xu Ge Lao is by no means this kind of person, Xu Ge Lao is dedicated to the people, for the court, and for the people of the world, and he can be said to have done his best, without His Majesty to say those things......" Kong Yinzhi hurriedly said.

"These are all scenes, but they don't get to the root of ......, didn't I just say it? Let the Qing family understand more about what 'human needs' are, understand the word 'human needs', and then look at what Master Xu did and said, it is not difficult to understand ......, if you don't understand this, you are not qualified to talk about Master Xu at all. Yang Gengai continued to say lightly.

"People need ......" is also a human need, Kong Yinzhi's head began to grow bigger, the emperor asked him to study the two words "people need", not once or twice, what does this person need, what does it mean, he is really confused, this person needs to be Confucianism, the emperor said, and it is closely related to his Confucianism.........

"Does the Qing family know why Master Xu joined the Yiren Sect?" Yang Gengai saw Kong Yinzhi's overwhelmed look again, and asked again.

"Back to Your Majesty, I don't know ......," Kong Yinzhi replied.

“…… The reason why I entered the Yi people is only because the Yi people surpassed my Ming Dynasty in astronomy, arithmetic, calendar, geography, etc., and my Ming Dynasty was in dire straits,...... Why do you enter the Yi people's teachings and learn the things of the Yi people, but they are just for the sake of survival and salvation, and whose death is ...... save? Whose Picture Is Saved? It's not my ......," Yang said.

"What Your Majesty said is very ......" Kong Yinzhi didn't dare to tell the difference, the emperor looked down on Xu Guangqi for a day or two, how to fight for this and the emperor?

“…… Therefore, the real Confucians, all of them take the needs of people as their own responsibility, and all of them take solving the needs of people as their own responsibility, and when we need to calm the people, help the poor, and resist foreign humiliation, they will stand up and dedicate themselves to the spirit of Confucianism...... "Yang Gai said.

"What Your Majesty said is very ......," Kong Yinzhi's sweat came out and said.

"Therefore, a true Confucian needs to have the spirit of dedication to ...... 'Confucianism', and Master Xu is officially ......such a person," Yang Gai continued to praise Xu Guangqi.

"Your Majesty ......is right," Kong Yinzhi nodded again.

“…… Then, what does the Qing family think, what about Sun Yuanhua? Yang Gengai asked suddenly.

"Sun Yuanhua ......" Kong Yinzhi has a big head, he first said the master, and now he will talk about the apprentice.

“…… Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know how to evaluate this person......" Kong Yinzhi said with a big head,

"What's wrong with that? Is Sun Yuanhua a Confucian child? Yang asked reform.

"Back to Your Majesty, this ......, yes......" Kong Yinzhi thought about it for a while, and decided to classify Sun Yuanhua into the ranks of Confucian disciples.

"Since Sun Yuanhua is a disciple of Confucianism, and the things he does represent the things that Confucianism does, and these things are things that are in line with the spirit of Confucianism, how can the Qing family not bring this person or Master Xu out as a character who competes with Zhang Xianyong and Taoism? …… Master Xu's reputation in the south is quite high, and he is known as a living bodhisattva, so he was brought out to compete with Zhang Xianyong, and Zhang Xianyong also had to give up three points, didn't he? Whether the people prefer Master Xu, who can solve the problem of food and clothing, or the fancy spell Zhang Zhenren, this is naturally self-evident......" Yang Reform said flickeringly.

“…… Your Majesty...... "Kong Yinzhi's brain is bigger, and he carries Xu Guangqi or Sun Yuanhua out to fight with Zhang Xianyong in the ring and snatch the scenery that belongs to Confucianism, this kind of thought, Kong Yinzhi feels that his brain is not enough.

"What, can't you? ......," Yang asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not that it can't be, but it's ......," Kong Yinzhi said embarrassedly.

"The Qing family rest assured, Sun Yuanhua will not hold back the Qing family, wait for a few days, he has an important thing to say, and when he says this, the eyes of the world will return to Sun Yuanhua, Sun Yuanhua is a son of Confucianism, that is, on behalf of Confucianism and Taoism to fight in the ring, when the time comes, win Zhang Xianyong to win the fair, wouldn't it be happy?" Yang Gai said. Kong Yinzhi's thoughts, Yang Reform has already seen through, can see through, but there is no good way to solve it, now, Yang Reform has thought of letting Sun Yuanhua and show the time to fight in the ring

“…… His Majesty ...... "Kong Yinzhi has already stayed, let them push Sun Yuanhua to fight with Zhang Xianyong in the ......, this is really a crazy idea, Kong Yinzhi felt unreliable at first, but if you think about it, it's not right!" The emperor actually said that he had an important event in a few days, which could make the emperor feel more important, it must be a big event that was not small, if this happened, he could really fight with Zhang Xianyong in the ring, Kong Yinzhi felt that this idea was very good and very satisfying.

Kong Yinzhi is actually a pawn of the emperor and has his own demands. Actually, I don't really like to come to the emperor to complain, he really can't help it.

Kong Yinzhi thought that this method would not say whether it was right or wrong, nor whether it was good or bad, at least, he could delay and hide for a while, as for whether it would succeed or not, that was another matter, at least before Sun Yuanhua had to do that, he could relax for a while.

Kong Yinzhi decided to follow the path given by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this may indeed be a good idea, the minister thinks that he can give it a try...... but I don't know what Sun Chuyang's matter is......" Kong Yinzhi is thinking about sanctification, so he must avoid directly confronting the emperor, he thinks more about delaying time, and thinking about getting through this period of time.

"As for what it is, I can't say for the time being, anyway, it's definitely a good thing,......, Confucianism should take this incident as an opportunity to fight with Zhang Xianyong, and can't let Zhang Xianyong take advantage of it alone...... Yang Gai said.

Yang Gengai knew that the contradictions in society were intensifying, and he had to find an outlet for him. In this world, some people like to eat and have nothing to do, and they have to find something to do for them, so that they don't blindly command all day long, and mess around indiscriminately.
