- "Hehe......" Zhang Dian smiled and said, "It's okay to say that. ”

"It seems that in the past few months, you have gone to Jiangdong to listen to Jiefu's new study." Chen Ke smiled faintly.

"Not bad." Zhang Dian nodded and said: "In fact, in my hometown in the past two years, although I have studied behind closed doors, I can't help but listen to things outside the window. In the south, Wang Jiefu's doctrine was very popular. After a pause, he said: "At that time, I was concentrating on my work, and I had no time to listen carefully, as soon as the imperial examination was over, I rushed to Jiangning Mansion to listen to Wang Jiefu's lecture for two months, and suddenly felt that I was better than reading a book for 20 years. ”

"So highly rated?" Chen Ke said with a smile.

"Since the five dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, politics and religion have been abolished, Confucianism has declined, etiquette has collapsed, the way of the sages has been abolished, and the articles of the first king system have been swept away!" Zhang Dian Zhengse said: "Wang Gong's new learning, can be clear and righteous, righteous people's hearts, Jisheji, Kuang Dadao!" ”

Chen Ke took a chopstick and chewed it carefully. As an intellectual of the Song Dynasty and a second man, he saw very clearly that Confucianism had been in decline since the decline of the Han Dynasty, and it was even in danger of dying out under the impact of Buddhism and Taoism in the Sui and Tang dynasties. However, the history of hundreds of years has proved that Buddhism and Taoism cannot maintain great unity and centralized power, so these hundreds of years are also the most chaotic period in history and the fastest change of dynasties...... Although there is a prosperous Tang Dynasty sandwiched in it, it is realistic to say that a history of the Tang Dynasty is a history of various challenges to imperial power, which just shows the incompetence of Buddhism and Taoism.

In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the warlords fought each other, and the law of the jungle was even more extreme. 'In this world, the Son of Heaven is the ear of the strong soldiers and strong horses. It's as if society has gone back to the age of the jungle.

Song Taizu met by fate and seized the power of the Later Zhou Dynasty from orphans and widows. He saw that if this status quo could not be changed and an ethical order could be established, the Song dynasty would soon be replaced by powerful ministers. So as soon as the country was founded, he put a lot of energy. It is used to consolidate internal rule. One of the most important steps. It is to make Confucianism the state religion, hoping that Confucianism's idea of great unification and loyalty to the monarch can maintain the country for Tianshui for thousands of years.

But the study of Han Confucianism has been full of mistakes. For hundreds of years after that, there was no outstanding person to remedy it, and he could not stand on his own. How to shoulder the heavy responsibility of its history?

Fortunately, in the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination only examined Confucianism, and all scholars were transformed into Confucian scholars, and in the process of studying Confucian classics, Confucian scholars naturally thought about and perfected these doctrines. They soon abandoned the Han Confucian pseudo-science, but it was easy to break the old and difficult to establish the new, from Zhao Erxing Confucianism to the current Jiazi, various theories emerged in an endless stream, but still did not appear a doctrine that won wide recognition.

If a society lacks common values and ideals. Without the moral strength to unite people's hearts, there will inevitably be confusion of ideas and differences in people's hearts, and the country will not be able to become strong. This is where all kinds of evils arise. Therefore, the entire class of scholars and doctors was eagerly awaiting. Someone can establish a new theory of the Confucian system of ethics and morality. Make valid arguments. Only by proving that Confucianism is tenable will people truly believe in it, and can it play a role in cleaning up people's hearts and revitalizing the program!

Obviously, whoever can establish a widely accepted doctrine will become a living saint, and at that time, with a wave of his sleeve, he will set off a violent wind in the sky, and a slight cough will attract the attention of the whole world. At that time, your words will be the words of the Lunyin Immortals, and even the emperor will have to listen to them, and your views will be the thoughts of tens of millions of people, and the whole world will change because of your mind!

The position of a saint is vacant, how many Confucians are bent over? For many years, countless great Confucian scholars have been poor and lectured all their lives, in order to promote their own doctrines to become prominent scholars and win the position of saints.

Although no one has succeeded yet, Zhou Dunyi's Lianxue, Shao Yong's Xiang Mathematics, Wang Anshi's Xinxue, Zhang Zai's Guan Xue, Ercheng's Luo Xue, and Sima Guang's Shuo Xue have been ahead of the curve.

Among these six schools, there is undoubtedly a Taoist school composed of Lianxue, Guanxue, and Luoxue, which are born in the same air, and the believers are the widest. But at present, the most influential, the most vocal, and the most dazzling is Wang Anshi's new learning.

In the past ten years, Wang Anshi has hardly not written books or lectured for a day, and he has already made many disciples and believers. Although he has always been in a corner, his doctrine and reputation have already spread all over the world, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty has not read his articles, and many people are his staunch supporters, so he will get so many exceptional recommendations and promotions, so he is unkempt and unfavoritistic, and will be regarded as his extraordinary performance, and the cause and effect relationship in this cannot be reversed.

This is the harvest of Wang Anshi's repeated refusal of the imperial court appointment and the fact that he has been working in the local area for more than ten years.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why is Wang Anshi's new school so popular? It is because he is in touch with the pulse of the times, not just empty talk, but by exploring the subtle meanings in the classics of the ancestors, providing ideological guidance and theoretical basis for the reform of the real society. Everyone knows that the Great Song Dynasty is already sick and needs to be reformed, otherwise there will be big problems, but after the failure of the Qingli New Deal, the whole society fell into confusion and pause, and a person was needed to point out the direction.

The year before last, he finally completed his theoretical preparations, and with great ambition to submit the "Book of Ten Thousand Words" to the imperial court, he actively proposed reforms, and put forward a complete plan. Although this "Book of Ten Thousand Words" was not issued by the official family, it was still known to the world through various channels.

Those people in the government and the opposition who were dissatisfied with the current situation of the country and hoped for reform were all attracted by this "Book of Ten Thousand Words", and the "detailed and feasible" plan made people have to believe that he was the architect of the reform of the Great Song Dynasty and the only person who could succeed in the reform.

This kind of emotion has gradually brewed, and since last year, the calls for Wang Anshi to return to Beijing have been rising wave after wave. Even Chen Keyuan, who was in Dali, received a letter from Wang Shao and others asking him to write a letter to cheer for Wang Anshi.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to Beijing, Zhang Dian actually came to be a lobbyist again, which shows how much Wang Anshi's influence has reached.

"After going around in circles for a long time, what do you want to say?" Chen Ke finally laughed and said, "Recommend the prince to enter the court?" I'm a little six-rank official, but I don't have that ability. ”

"Don't rush to push it out just yet." Zhang Dian lowered his voice and said, "Listen to me finish speaking." ”

Chen Ke nodded, and then listened to Zhang Dun say: "Actually, this time when I entered Beijing, I shouldn't have looked for you, but went to find Liu Neihan." Liu Chang is now a bachelor of Hanlin, and he is also Zhao Zongshi's teacher.

"Zihou ......" Chen Ke frowned slightly: "Are you already involved so deeply?" ”

"Do great things at any cost, and do your best to do it when you recognize it." Zhang Dian said indifferently: "Zhong Fang, the hope for the future of the Great Song Dynasty is in Wang Jiefu, there is no doubt about it!" As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass and said a little excitedly: "Jiefu, the sage of the world!" But he is arrogant and stubborn, his status is not high, and he urgently needs a capable person Sasuke to become a big thing. I am willing to help him break into a new world for the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Chen Ke had no choice but to pick up the wine glass and drink with him.

"Does that mean you agreed to do this a favor?" Zhang's eyes were blazing.

"If I don't agree, will you go to Liu Chang, and then go to Zhao Zongshi's door for help?" Chen Ke said with a smile.

"Not bad." Zhang Dian nodded and said, "This is our original idea, but as soon as we come, you and I are best friends." Second, I feel bad about them. Three, I think, they will not pay attention to the princes. So take it upon yourself to come to you first and see if the person behind you has this idea...... and guts. ”

The relationship between "......" Chen Ke and Zhao Zongji is already inseparable from Meng, Meng is not defocused, and people in the world have long regarded them as one. Covering up in front of a smart person like Zhang Zihou will alienate each other's relationship. But it came so suddenly that he was completely unprepared...... Although this seemed to be the reinforcement he and Zhao Zongji were looking for, they had to think clearly about the possible consequences before they could give an answer.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhang Dian frankly and said slowly: "I can't make any decisions for him, so I need to ask him what he means." ”

"I want to know now, your attitude." Zhang Dian is like a sword, and the sword alone stabs a person's pain.

"Zihou, the Great Song Dynasty has fallen into a quagmire, and it really can't be changed if it doesn't change." Chen Ke nodded lightly and said, "Zihou, but I don't know, where are Wang Jiefu's innovative moves going to start?" ”

Zhang Dian was overjoyed and said in a deep voice. "Wang Jiefu said that there is only one way to rejuvenate the Great Song Dynasty: follow Yao Shun and follow the path of the first king."

"What is the 'Way of the First King'?" Chen Ke asked.

"Yao Shun's way is simple and not annoying, not to move, to easy and not difficult. It can be summed up in six words: 'change the law, change customs.' Zhang's voice was like a golden stone road.

"What's the way to change? How vulgar? Chen Ke asked.

"Change the outdated and useless method of the imperial court, and change the imperial court to follow the customs." Zhang Dian said in a deep voice.

"How easy is it to say?" Chen Ke sighed lightly.

"It's man-made!" Zhang Dan's voice became lower and lower, and his words became more and more bold: "We all believe that if we want to succeed, we must have a wise and virtuous minister, and only a virtuous minister, if there is no Ming Jun, although Gao, Kui, Ji, and the sage of the deed, it will be nothing!" After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "Therefore, I came this time to dare to choose a king for the prince!" ”

"There is only one monarch in the Great Song Dynasty, and that is the current official family." Chen Ke already knew that this chapter was not telling the truth, he must have had something to do with Wang Anshi for a long time, not what he said, he had only known each other for two months.

"Today's officials are conservative and cowardly, and they are no longer the lords of their courtiers." Zhang Dian said disdainfully: "Our eyes are on the future, on the next one!" ”——
