Chapter 532: Huang Zongxi

In March, the sky is gradually warmer, and the city of Beijing is gradually revealing new sprouts, and the green is gradually rendered in this world. (Please remember me)

Yang Reform got up early, today, Yang Reform is going to go to Guozijian, since Yang Reform has made the East of Education for All, Yang Reform's prestige in the reading and education circles, that is slowly rising, there is no king who is willing to take millions of taels of silver every year to support education, and only today's Chongzhen Dynasty has such a thing happening.

What's more, after the salt merchant case, the emperor released a bold statement, fully supported the running of the school, and confiscated the salt merchants' homes, as long as it is suitable for running a school, as long as it is the "education circle" people who look at it, they can unconditionally allocate it to the place for running the school, this time, the prestige of Yang Reform is in the reading and education circles, that is directly on par with the sage, everything the emperor wants to do, it must be good, everything the emperor says, must be right, everything, must support the emperor.

Therefore, there is also today's Guozijian "lecture" line.

"Otomo, how is the road to Sanhetu repaired?" Coming out of the palace gate, Yang Reform is still asking about the Sanhe soil road, Yang Reform has been thinking about how to repair the road, according to the highest standards now, the stone road can only be repaired in the city, and the traffic outside the city can only be Sanhe soil, so, in order to verify whether the Sanhe soil is good or not, Yang Reform specially ordered someone to build a road paved with Sanhe soil in the imperial city, which is specially used to experiment whether it will work or not.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ...... has been built" Wang Chengen hurriedly replied, for the emperor's special request, he did his best to do it, the emperor said that he wanted a road to Sanhetu, Wang Chengen immediately built one.

"Let's go, before leaving the palace, let's take a look at the road...... "Yang reform's Sanhe dirt road is in the imperial city, and the Forbidden City is going to be tested and obtained.

"Yes, Your Majesty ......," Wang Chengen agreed.

In a short time, the footsteps reached the side of the three-way earthen paving, which was a wide road that could cross more than two carriages.

There are some yellow loess roads, but it looks like there is some cement condensed together, which is a bit interesting, which is the first impression of Yang Reform. The road seems to be built quite strongly, it looks very smooth, and a few uphill and downhill slopes are specially built, and the slope is not large, if you are driving a carriage, you can easily come up.

"This is the road made of three-fold soil?" Yang Gengai asked suspiciously.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed a road made of Sanhe soil...... Wang Chengen replied.

"Oh, Sanhetu, those three materials?" Yang asked playfully.

"Back to Your Majesty, now we use ......loess, lime and fine sand, and if these three things are not easy to find, you can also use pottery powder and gravel instead, or you can use river ......sand," Wang Chengen replied.

"Oh, these three!" Yang Gengai visually inspected the yellow mud road of Sanhetu, which seemed to be quite strong, but he didn't know what it was like on a rainy day.

“…… What about rainy days? What will happen? Yang asked reform.

"Back to Your Majesty, if it's raining heavily, it must be wet...... Wang Chengen replied.

"Then if there are more cars crushed on a rainy day, will there be such a situation as a mud pit?" Yang asked again.

"Back to Your Majesty, if it is a rainy day, there are more carriages that are crushed, and there will still be some mud, but it will not be washed away by the rain like ordinary roads, this is a safe ......" Wang Chengen hurriedly explained, these days, he also has to pay attention to the project that the emperor cares about, and he is clear about the quality of this road.

Yang Reform stepped on the road of Sanhetu, and found that the road was indeed quite strong, and it seemed that there was actually a two-point cement road.

"Oh, that's it! Let's go, go up and try it......" Yang Reform didn't say much, and when he got into the carriage, he wanted to try this road himself.

"Slaves obey orders...... Wang Chengen hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly beckoned the guards to take the emperor to test the road in a carriage.

Yang Gengai sat in the carriage, the car got on the road of Sanhetu, to be honest, it was indeed more comfortable than the stone road, at least there were not so many harsh sounds, and the car seemed to be much more stable, not so bumpy.

This section of the road of Sanhetu is not very long, and it will be over in a while, and Yang Reform sits back again, and he already has an idea in his heart.

"Yes, Daban, this kind of road is suitable for outside the city, in this way, you send people to send light and heavy vehicles to run back and forth, do not stop, and then simulate the situation of a rainy day, wet the road and then run back and forth, see what will happen to this road, if there is any unsatisfactory situation, let the time of the internal officials and supervisors be recorded, and analyze how to solve it, I am going to build a road, we should take into account all kinds of situations on the road as soon as possible, and try to make a good road." Yang reformed the road after testing the Sanhetu road, so he instructed Wang Chengen to test the performance of the road. ,

"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen hurriedly agreed.

When Yang Reform got on the car again and was about to leave, he looked at the wheels again, they were still iron-clad, there was no substitute, and he didn't care, he got into the carriage and went directly to Guozijian.

……

Guozijian.

There are many guards, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, which surrounds this country prison layer by layer.

First worshiped the Confucian saints, and then went to Yilun Hall, Yilun Hall is theoretically a place where the emperor lectures, but in fact, there are not many emperors who come here, and the number of times they come is not much, all of which are symbolic, many emperors of the Ming Dynasty are halfway monks, and this place is obviously not welcomed by many emperors.

The throne was also placed on the Yi Yilun Hall, and Yang Gai ascended to the throne and accepted the salute of everyone, and this discussion with people from the "education circle" officially began.

It is said that the emperor lectures, but in fact, it is more of a "party" form of activities, and everyone also takes care that the emperor is a monk halfway, and it is impossible to have much advanced knowledge, so there is a traditional project first, and the descendants of the saint of the master of the world will tell a speech of the saint.

This time, Kong Zhenyun, the sixty-third generation grandson of Confucius Sage, spoke about a passage of "Da Yu Mo".

It is true that as everyone expected, the emperor did not like this kind of esoteric thing very much, or rather, he didn't know anything, just by seeing the emperor sitting on the throne like an "idiot" and not knowing it, of course, this was also expected by everyone, everyone who was listening to the lecture in Yilun Hall lowered their heads, as if they didn't see it, or shook their heads and whispered, and followed the lecturer's train of thought.

Yang Reform listened to it together, felt bored, but remembered the strange practices of the descendants of Confucius Sage in the Republic of China, there were a lot of jokes on the Internet, saying that so-and-so was going to be president, and the descendants of Confucius Sage hurriedly persuaded to enter the book, and a few days later, so-and-so was going to be the emperor again, and hurriedly persuaded into the book, and then so-and-so heard that he was going to be restored, and hurriedly persuaded into the book, and then so-and-so was relatively powerful, and he may be the boss, and hurriedly persuaded into the book, in short, in that period of time when the country was sinking and the nation was in danger, it was very funny to do things, With these prejudices from later generations, Yang Reform is a little unwilling to see a certain generation of this Confucian sage.

The descendants of Sage Kong were about to end, and another person surnamed Ni came to talk about some hexagrams, but Yang Reform still didn't listen to it.

Finally, the traditional project passed, and it was the emperor's turn to "lecture".

"Ahem......" Yang Gengai coughed.

Everyone in Yilun Hall looked up at the emperor, seeing what this holy son was going to talk about and what knowledge he wanted to pour out.

“…… I listened to it for so long, but I thought about it by chance, and I didn't know how to solve it...... "Yang Reform didn't come without any preparation, and he also prepared some "content" for himself, so that he wouldn't be in a hurry.

“…… When I heard Kaizhong talk about "Da Yu Mo", I thought of a question, the sage's knowledge is called Confucianism, and I thought about it, how to solve this Confucian character? The sage must have made sense to call his learning Confucianism, and I don't know who can solve my doubts for everyone present. Yang Reform for the "lecture" thing, but really dare not show off, not like other traversers, steal a few poems to show off, because this ancient knowledge, most of Yang Reform is not familiar with, or do not understand, if you want to show off, in front of these "experts", it is easy to show the stuffing, not to mention, he is the emperor, there is no need to show off, neither fame, nor fame, just start the "party" discussion.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister knows." Lin Zhu, as the priest of the country, stood up and replied immediately.

"Oh, tell me about the Qing family, what should I understand this Confucian character?" Yang asked with a smile.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Confucianism refers to scholars, and Sage Confucius is the master of all ages. Lin Zhu said.

Reform nodded, but replied very blandly.

“…… Is there any other understanding in the room? Yang asked again.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." As the great Confucian of the current world and the second leader of the "education circle", Liu Zongzhou also came out and said.

"Hehe, what does the Qing family understand?" Yang Gengai asked with a smile, this guy is now desperate to do "education", he can be regarded as a hardcore imperial party, without him, only he can give him so much silver every year to run education, this year the salt merchant's mansion is selected by them, for him to earn countless faces among the scholars, and his prestige has skyrocketed.

"Back to Your Majesty, Confucianism, Rouye, the name of the warlock. From people, need to speak, so Confucianism ...... "Liu Zongzhou likes to hang the bookbag." ,

"Well, that makes sense, but I'd like to hear about it, are there any other different opinions? I'd like to hear something new. Yang asked again.

"Your Majesty ......" The people in Yilun Hall all had a heated discussion, and the "party" seemed to be exceptionally harmonious.

asked a few more people, but Yang Gengai just smiled and said nothing, never sure about one.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty's opinion, what does Your Majesty think this Confucian character should be interpreted?" In Yilun Hall, a young student who was less than twenty years old suddenly stood up and asked loudly, with some aggressiveness in his tone.

Yang Reform was asked so suddenly, but it was a moment, no one has spoken to him directly like this for a long time, Emperor Yang Reform has been for a long time, but he is a little unaccustomed to it, Yilun Hall suddenly quieted down, and the atmosphere was suddenly tense.

“…… Taichong, sit down, ......" Liu Zongzhou was so anxious that he was sweating, and shouted softly, beckoning to the young man and asking him to sit down, but the young man didn't see it, and he looked high-spirited.

"Who is this?" Yang Reform asked curiously, this young man who stood up looked like he was not afraid of the sky and the earth, but he was a little impulsive, Yang Reform also came to be interested, those who can come to this Yilun Hall must have a "relationship", if it is not for the exceptionally good grades, it is the relatives and disciples of the "leader", otherwise, this kind of "discussion" with the top leader can come casually, then there is really a problem, Yang Reform is not angry, here are basically the "imperial party", so according to common sense, this young man should also be a partyThe relatives and children of the "imperial party" are not very wise to burn the fire on their own heads, and seeing that Liu Zongzhou was sweating anxiously there, he affirmed his conjecture that this kind of opportunity, as a "leader", could not be thrown away in vain, so he also stared at Liu Zongzhou and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the minister's apprenticeship, who studied with the minister, his name is Huang Zongxi, the word is too chong, and his father is one of the seven gentlemen, Huang Zunsu......" Liu Zongzhou is full of sweat's introduction, his disciple's courage is too big, and he has always had the idea of "not pleasing to the eye" of the emperor, this time he originally wanted to take the opportunity of the emperor to come to the country to make him familiar, but he didn't expect that things were "as expected", he contradicted the emperor, Liu Zongzhou hurriedly stood up and interceded for his disciple, I hope that the emperor will look at his face, for the sake of his father's face, and not blame.

"Huang Zongxi?" Yang Gai's eyes widened! This is a historical celebrity! History books have a very high evaluation of him, and he is considered to be one of the ideological enlighteners of China in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Unexpectedly, I actually met it, and he is also a disciple of Liu Zongzhou, that is to say, this guy is still a little emperor party, and this world is really amazing.

"Oh, I remembered, it's the ...... with the awl cone," Yang Reform said suddenly after being surprised and sighing.

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly." Liu Zongzhou was even more embarrassed, no wonder the emperor's eyes widened when he heard Huang Zongxi's name, and he was particularly surprised, his disciple's name was very resounding, that is, when his disciple tried the eunuch party last year, in order to avenge his father, he poked Xu Xianchun with an awl in the lobby of the case, and beat Cui Yingyuan.

"Hehehe, it's interesting......" Yang Gengai laughed. This Huang Zongxi is rated by history as a thinker in the late Ming Dynasty, the evaluation is quite high, presumably there are also outstanding, he now wants to carry out reforms, the mind must first be emancipated, culture must be emancipated, in order to further promote the reform of society, just like the Renaissance in the West, the prison of thought and literature and art is loosened, and the society can further develop, Yang Reform has been looking for the emancipator of this thought, but he did not expect, but soon met Huang Zongxi, who was known as the three great thinkers of the late Ming Dynasty, Doesn't this mean that someone has picked up the heavy burden of being a emancipator? What's more, this guy is actually a disciple of Liu Zongzhou, and it seems that the relationship is not shallow, which is even more interesting, that is to say, the emancipation of culture and thought, he happens to be in it, but there is really no more suitable person than him.

"Hehehe, it's okay, Liu Qing's family won't think I'm a person without energy, after the Seven Gentlemen, no wonder I'm so strong, not bad, not bad!" Yang Reform praised, pick up a historical celebrity, of course, you have to be happy, this guy is not very useful for many rebels who have crossed over, but for himself who has crossed into the emperor, it is quite useful, may be more useful than some military cattle people, unlock all kinds of ideological imprisonment, this thing, is not comparable to one or several military cattle people, there are countless military cattle people in the late Ming Dynasty, even if there are no military cattle people, but as long as they are willing to spend money, It is possible to use money to smash out a group of military cattle, but there are very few emancipators of thought, and those who want to use silver to smash out of their minds, count how difficult it is to come out of so many people in hundreds of years, and this is really not a problem of smashing with silver. The emancipator of the mind is undoubtedly more important than the military bull in promoting reform involving all aspects of society, and it is this kind of person that we are lacking at present. ,

“…… Thank you, Your Majesty, Long. "Liu Zongzhou is really embarrassed, the emperor is still affectionate and remembers the old love.

“…… Since the gentleman asked this question later, let me tell you how I understand the word Confucianism. Yang Gengai pondered how to subdue this historical celebrity, and began to explain his own opinions.

“…… I think that Confucianism, literally, is the need for people and needs, needs, should be interpreted as the needs of needs, and should not be interpreted as soft, therefore, the combination of people and needs to form the Confucian word, its most critical meaning is the needs of people, this is the core of Confucianism, is the true meaning of Confucianism, what is human needs? What are the human needs? And how to solve people's needs, only when we understand this, can we understand what Confucianism is, and only then can we understand the concept of sages......" Yang Gai said.

"Ahh ……”

"Ahh ……”

"Ahh ……”

In Yilun Hall, everyone exclaimed in unison, Confucianism is needed? The core of Confucianism is the needs of people? This is a very perverse statement! completely subverted the previous commentary on Confucianism, and everyone looked at the emperor in horror. Even Huang Zongxi, a "non-mainstream" person who has always been "unpleasant" to the emperor, was also impressed by the emperor's remarks, and was stunned by the emperor's words......

“…… Hehehe, I haven't read a book for a few days, and I don't understand the main truth, but in the dark, I feel that Confucianism should be explained in this way, and only in this way can I understand the words of the sage, and I can understand the concept of the sage. "Yang Reform is now in the hands of the money, the army is in hand, and there is countless prestige, so he dares to risk the disapproval of the world, and move the knife on the head of Confucianism, if it was before, Yang Reform can not think of it, and now, Yang Reform wants to try to see how high the prestige of his emperor is.
