Chapter 562: Draw a Big Pie
How to make a group like an arm commanding 5,000 years forward and 500 years backward is probably a difficult problem to solve.
Tang Yi promoted the study of the heart and the formation of a party, and more just abandoned the "saint", "rational qi", and "gentleman villain...... These useless disputes have turned to pay more attention to reality and study the propositions that can really enrich the country and enrich the people.
As for how the inner workings of the mind and thus concentrates its forces to form a fist, there is still not much conclusive conclusion.
Even if there is no hidden thing, there will definitely be more and more problems.
Tang Yi even felt that he could learn from the experience of the Jiuyang Society, and they controlled their subordinates mainly with three axes, first of all, to draw a big pie, depict a beautiful vision, and attract more people to come in.
Yan Zidan, who can give birth to a son, and Lao Buddha, who can turn evil into good fortune, are all in this way.
After attracting people in, they are two means, one is coercion, and the other is inducement, such as killing Zhang Wanyang and others by terrorist means, which is to create a terrifying atmosphere, and if you betray Jiuyang Society, you will not be able to die. In addition, they would select a few of the most devout believers, and suddenly send them a large amount of gold and silver, so that they would become rich at once.
One soft and one hard, just taking advantage of the greed and fear of human nature, is naturally invincible.
Tang Yi didn't do the same, he wanted to advocate a more attractive thing, draw a more beautiful pie, and unite the scholars.
Tang Yi has carefully studied the study of mind, and also studied the context of the development of Confucianism in the past dynasties, in fact, this is also a process of dividing for a long time.
Why did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accept Dong Zhongshu's three strategies of heaven and man, so as to depose the hundred schools and respect Confucianism alone?
This has a lot to do with the environment in which the Han Dynasty was located at that time, in the early Han Dynasty, reflecting on the reasons for the fall of the Qin Dynasty, many people attributed the blame to the county system. It is believed that the long-term strategy is to restore the division of the Zhou Dynasty. In fact, Liu Bang also divided a large number of feudal kings, and the children of the Liu family spread all over the world.
But the lesson that followed was painful, there was a rebellion of kings inside, and the Huns entered the Kou outside. The Han Dynasty had a large population. The rich economy could not resist the invasion of the Xiongnu, so he had to offer women and maintain peace by making peace.
After the rule of Wenjing, the national strength of the Western Han Dynasty increased greatly, but in the face of the Xiongnu, the practice of ruling by doing nothing would only allow people to eat meat. Therefore, Emperor Wu introduced Confucianism and promoted the unification of thought, and then the unification of the country. In order to concentrate the strength of the whole country, the northern Xiongnu.
In fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's strategy was very successful, looking at all the agricultural civilizations in the world, only China chose the way to break the cauldron and launch an endless counterattack against the nomads, and the success of the strong Han and Tang Dynasty was definitely a great victory for Confucian governance.
But as time goes on, it's like being a person. The Confucian philosophy gradually grew old and became plagued by diseases. It's hard to return......
The main reason is that Confucianism has become a prominent school, and other theories have been excluded, and the right and wrong of Confucianism is the right and wrong of the state, and the Confucian way of thinking is the way of thinking of the whole nation. Lifeless. Faced with an endless stream of problems, Confucian scholars no longer wanted to innovate, but instead lay on the books of their former merits, and liked to look through the piles of old papers to find solutions that could be used to solve problems.
It is a pity that neither Confucius nor Mengzi could have predicted what would happen two thousand years later. Since the Two Song Dynasty, Confucianism has achieved the peak of cultural governance, but it has also caused the slack of military equipment, which has been frequently trampled by iron hooves and lost face.
The depressed scholar needed to find a way out, and at this time, two people almost simultaneously prescribed a prescription, one was called Zhu Xi, and the other was called Lu Jiuyuan.
They all lived in the Southern Song Dynasty and faced the same problems. Zhu Xi put forward the idea of preserving heaven and destroying people's desires, from the original intention of Master Zhu, he did not want to imprison thoughts, but to get rid of the mess in people's minds, make the original complex society simple, and return to the state of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the lessons of Confucius and Mencius sages will naturally work.
However, Lu Jiuyuan is-for-tat, putting forward the concept of "the heart is reasonable", the heavenly principle and the human heart are not two opposite things, the human heart is the heavenly principle, if you want to figure out the world, you must first see the heart clearly.
Lu Jiuyuan's doctrine was inherited and developed by an even greater sage, Wang Yangming, and formed today's Yangming Xinxue.
If the two theories were to compete on a level playing field, most people would probably choose the study of mind over the science of science. It's just that history has played a joke here, Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty, and has an instinctive closeness to the old master Zhu Xi of the family, plus the experience of war, depression of all industries, and the people's minds, science naturally occupies the commanding heights of academics and becomes a prominent school in the world.
But right is right, wrong is wrong, Zhu Xi's set of ideas of reversing is doomed to not succeed. Especially after Wang Yangming's development and perfection, Xinxue is like a polished diamond, dazzling and dazzling, attracting countless heroes to bend their waists.
When things got here, it fell into place, and did the prince and princess live happily ever after?
Obviously it won't be that easy.
In fact, there is also a fatal problem in the study of the mind, if you take your own heart as the standard, if you think about killing people and goods, thinking about doing evil, thinking about getting something for nothing, do you have to agree with your own heart? If this continues, it will not become a hell on earth?
Tang Yi guessed that the ancestor Wang Yangming must also be very depressed, and even how many **** nights, sleepless, sweating through his clothes.
How so?
"There is no goodness and no disgusting body, there is good and malicious action. Knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing. ”
All disciples of the heart study know these four teachings.
Tang Yi thought that this was the last earnest teaching of the ancestor to his disciples, and he was afraid that everyone would really deviate from the study of the mind. Tang Yi always felt that Master Zu was a little redundant, his heart was originally the coexistence of good and evil, some people were more good, and some people were more evil, this is something that is genetically determined, and it can't be changed.
Rather, it is by acknowledging the diversity of hearts that another problem arises - the rule of law!
Morality cannot bind everyone, so strict and reasonable laws are needed to govern the whole society.
The greatest obstacle to the rule of law is the supreme emperor. The ancients often said that the prince was guilty of the same crime as the common people, but this sentence was not "the emperor broke the law and the common people were guilty of the same crime".
Because the emperor has a heavenly constitution in his mouth, he follows the law, and he is not bound by the law, but only by the power of morality...... To put it bluntly, it's all helpless.
After sorting out the whole way of thinking, the problem will be understood, first of all, we must guide the study of the mind, abandon the shackles, and correctly understand the "heart" and "human nature".
Then the rule of virtue was transformed into the rule of law, and the basis for establishing the rule of law was to abolish the sanctity of imperial power and let the emperor accept the constraints of the law......
This is a complete and rigorous set of logic, in fact, some sages within the study of mind have put forward similar views, including Li Zhen and others, who initially opposed the imperial power and advocated the equality of the four peoples.
What Tang Yi has to do is to follow this line of thought, so that more people in the heart school can understand their mission, so as to form a strong centripetal force. Under the guidance of Down's theory, from one victory to another......
Of course, this is just Tang Yi's beautiful idea, as mentioned earlier, the key to Confucianism's acceptance by the imperial power lies in the three words "great unification".
When Confucianism can be used as a tool for the emperor to wield great power, the emperor will support Confucianism, no matter how many ills there are.
On the contrary, if Xinxue embarked on the road of confronting the imperial power, it would not only face the emperor's suppression, but also face the division within the scholar group, and the difficulty can be imagined.
But it is something that has to be done, Tang Yi thought about it, he felt that the story must be told well first, so that more people can accept it.
From the lowest level of his desk, he pulled out a manuscript from the West, which was none other than the "Magna Carta" from England. Although it was only a letter of agreement between the king and the nobles to divide the spoils, its value could not be denied. In the land of the East, how many years have the kings and scholars ruled the world together, but they have never been put into writing, and no emperor has really admitted that when it comes to the dictatorship of the Qiangang, they are never polite, even the softest emperor of the Song Dynasty.
The stones of other mountains can attack jade, and Tang Yi wants to convey the spirit of Magna Carta to the disciples of Xinxue, so as to enlighten them to realize the role of limiting imperial power.
With this consensus, the science of mind also has the core value, from a dazzling diamond to a shining fire, a spark of fire, one day, will develop in the direction of hope......
When the party and government are so intense, Tang Yi actually has the leisure to do this kind of thing, I have to say that his heart is big enough, then again, people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries, if he doesn't do it now, let the people of the heart school run indiscriminately, it will only be abandoned quickly like in history, flashing like a meteor.
Tang Yi hid in the study and held back the theoretical masterpiece, but he was in a hurry to others, first of all, his friend Xu Wei couldn't stand it, and broke all the way to Tang Yi's study, and saw the stacks of books on the table, Xu Wei's eyes were straight.
"I said okay, or the two of us will change jobs, and you can go and repair the history of the Yuan."
Tang Yi smiled, "If you can move Your Majesty to nod, I would be willing." In a joke, he shoved the manuscript into a drawer and inadvertently locked it.
Xu Wei sat opposite Tang Yi, "If I had the ability to convince His Majesty, I would definitely kill Yan Song first-it's a pity that we don't have that ability, right?" Yes, but I think this time, Yan Dang is probably going to be unlucky. ”
"What? The offensive is fierce? Tang Yi said curiously.
"It's not just fierce, Xu Ge Lao even uses the strength to eat." Xu Wei said exaggeratedly: "Not to mention anything else, just in the Hanlin Academy, there are more than a dozen people who impeach Ouyang Bijin, and as for Kedao, it is even more boiling. They all said that Yan Song was not stealing the authority of the lord, but seizing the power of the lord. There were also many people who ran to Ouyang Bijin's mansion to persuade him to take the initiative to resign and not to be unjust! ”
Tang Yi smiled after hearing this, "Starting from Ouyang Bijin is a good move, but I'm afraid that people may not be easy to succumb." ”
Putting away his smile, Tang Yi asked in a low voice, "Senior Brother Wen, do you know where Mr. Fushan is?" (To be continued.) )
