The remuneration chain heart mantra is prosperous, and it has always been said that the constitution is contended, and the literati publish books and pass it on, and the factory pays you for it. 【Reading.com】

The annotation of the four books of Fork Yunxi in Xiao Mo's hand was co-authored by several more famous Confucian scholars in the land of Yunxi, and came out three years ago.

However, because the views expressed in it are not among the mainstream views and thoughts of the literati of the Chu Dynasty, they are not liked by the world and are not widely circulated.

Originally, for the world, with Xiao Mo's current status and prestige in the literary world, it has long far surpassed the literati who are covered by the four books of Fork Yunxi, and it is really unnecessary to read their works so seriously at this moment.

But in Xiao Mo's opinion, it is not.

Everyone's way of thinking and perspective on things are different, so there will inevitably be differences in the understanding of various Confucian scriptures.

And since these Confucian scholars dare to let this volume of the four books of Fork Yunxi come out, it must have its own uniqueness, and Xiao Mo can only broaden his horizons and make his knowledge go further.

After writing the book Fork Zhongyong New Interpretation of Xia, although Xiao Mo's knowledge has been qualitatively improved, but at the same time, it has also fallen into a bottleneck period.

Because of this, in the past year, Xiao Mo has spent a lot of time reading the various notes on the Four Books of the Soil and the Five Classics that have been circulated in the Chu Dynasty, and he has benefited a lot, at least Xiao Mo feels that his thinking horizons have been greatly expanded in this year.

In fact, similar to the new volumes of the four books of the fork, the four books of Bi and the Xia and the four books of love, almost every one or two years in the Chu Dynasty, literati would publish books on this topic, and Xiao Mo alone had seen at least sixteen or seventeen kinds.

However, the article "Notes on the Four Books of Yunxi" that Xiao Mo is reading now mentions some of the points mentioned in it, but Xiao Mo was greatly surprised. Because of the internal point of view, there is already a faint taste of "destroying people's desires and preserving heavenly principles", which is too conservative in terms of sensibility, but too extreme in terms of rationality, which makes Xiao Mo's brows furrow.

After a long time, Xiao Mo finally closed the four books of Fork Cloud Creek in his hand slowly, and at the same time, his brows furrowed even tighter.

The views mentioned in this Commentary on the Four Books of Chayunxi are already similar to the theory of mind and rational desire in the thought of science. In this way, with Cheng Zhu Lixue, a similar point of view, has it begun to raise its head in the Chu Dynasty?

Xiao Mo secretly thought about alum.

Science, also known as Taoism. Produced in the Northern Song Dynasty, prevailed in the Yuan, Ming and early Qing dynasties, and gradually declined after the middle of the invitation, proposed by Cheng Lai and Cheng Yi in the Northern Song Dynasty, and improved and promoted by Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty.

More than 100 years ago, there were also two Confucian scholars named Cheng Gan and Cheng Yi in the Chu Dynasty, and their achievements were also amazing. But these two men did not put forward the idea of science, or did put forward it, but they were not taken seriously by the world.

After all, in an environment like the Chu Dynasty, it is difficult for the world to agree with the views of "destroying the principles of heaven and preserving human desires."

Compared with Ercheng, Zhu Xi, who had a greater influence on science, did not appear in the Chu Dynasty.

In fact, whether the second journey of the Chu Dynasty was the second journey of the Song Dynasty in another time and space, Xiao Mo himself was not sure

Zhu Xi in another moment, born in the Southern Song Dynasty, is known as Zhu Zi. He is the most outstanding master of Confucianism since Confucius and Mencius. He inherited the science of Cheng Gan and Cheng Yi during the Northern Song Dynasty and perfected it.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, science was new and not valued by the world, and Zhu Xi was too stubborn and upright, let alone liked by the powerful. As for the point of view of science, it had very little influence at the time. Until the emergence of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang worshipped Zhu Xi as his ancestor, greatly admired the scientific views he advocated, and regarded the scientific views as the core ideas of his feudal rule. This is where the idea of science arises.

The reason why the Ming and Zhu dynasties were unable to enter the capitalist society for a long time was not only because the Mongols dragged the budding capitalism that had just germinated in the Song Dynasty to Cradle Feng, but also a very important reason why Cheng Zhu's scientific ideas rose and imprisoned the minds of the Chinese people, so that the feudal ruling power of the Ming and Zhu dynasties was greatly enhanced.

Later generations had mixed evaluations of Zhu Xi, and some people angrily denounced him as a pseudo-Confucian, because the scientific views promoted by Zhu Xi imprisoned the thinking of the Chinese people for hundreds of years; Some people also respect him as an erudite Confucian, because since the Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi is the only one who "collects the great achievements and learns for thousands of years, and opens the foolish and establishes a certain return for hundreds of millions of generations."

But in any case, it is undeniable that in the ideological world, since the Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi's influence on later generations is incomparable.

In Xiao Mo's view, the emergence of science is only a historical necessity, even if there is no Zhu Xi, but there will also be Li Xi and Zhang Xi put forward the same point of view, such as the current Chu Dynasty, Ercheng did not put forward the point of view of science, it has been more than a hundred years, and there is no appearance of Zhu Xi, but there are also people who put forward similar views.

However, Xiao Mo also knew that even if the idea of science still appeared, it would not attract much attention in the Chu Dynasty, you must know that in another time and space, although Er Cheng and Zhu Xi were both rare Confucian masters in the Song Dynasty, they did not receive the attention of those in power at that time. After all, in an environment like the Song Dynasty or the Chu Dynasty, the science of science did not have a small salary and shyness with the growing scholars

But thinking of the profound influence of science on later generations in another time and space, as well as the various drawbacks caused by it, although the four books of Chayunxi Note Yong only showed some signs slightly, they still attracted Xiao Mo's attention, and he faintly felt that he should do something.

Xiao Mo did not have the ambition to change the course of history, and although the emergence of science is a historical necessity, if the Qiu people cannot completely destroy the Chu Dynasty in the future like the Mongols destroyed the Song Dynasty in another time and space, these views of science cannot be as far-reaching as the Ming period.

What Xiao Mo is hesitating now is whether he should put these physical ideas that have appeared among the literati in order, remove their dross, and preserve their essenceAfter all, apart from those "mental rational and rational viewpoints" such as "destroying people and preserving heavenly principles", physical ideas are still quite meritorious.

However, if he does this, will it backfire and let Cheng Zhu Lixue rise in advance?

Bi Jing, "The emergence of the theory of mental rationality is a historical necessity, if Xiao Mo throws out the views of later generations of science, even if he puts aside the theory of rationality in science, but there will still be people who combine Xiao Mo's theory of rationality and desire with the theory of rationality of the mind, so that Cheng Zhu's theory of science can be perfected in advance."

After thinking for a while, Xiao Mo walked to the desk, Deng Shangquan observed his words and expressions, and had already taken out the four treasures of the study room and placed them, while Xiao Mo slowly wrote a few lines on the rice paper.

"The purpose of the five religions is that father and son have relatives, monarchs and ministers have righteousness, husbands and wives are different, young and old are orderly, and friends have faith."

"For the order of learning, for erudition, for interrogation, for contemplation, for discernment, for practice."

"Words are faithful, deeds are respectful, anger is punished, and changes are the key to self-cultivation.

"The political power does not seek its own interests, and it knows its way without considering its merits, that is, it is the key to doing things.

"Do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself, and do what you can't do, but ask for yourself, for the sake of receiving things.

I wrote for a long time in one breath, and it was all the "science" viewpoint that Xiao Mo remembered in his heart, except for the "theory of mental rationality", and unconsciously, Jing had already written several pieces of rice paper.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door in the room, which also interrupted Xiao Mo's thoughts.

After Deng Shangquan opened the door, Chu Da flashed into Xiao Mo's room, bowed down to Xiao Mo and said, "Childe, Mr. Fan is here."

Xiao Mo was slightly stunned, put down the rabbit hair in his hand, and asked, "Has anyone noticed?"

Chu Da shook his head and said, "There are a few people who have been monitoring your room, young master, but they have been led away by Cao Fei and have not noticed Mr. Fan's nose. ”

Xiao Mo nodded and said, "Please let him in."

With that, Xiao Mo took Deng Shangquan to the outside of the study, where Fan Xiang was waiting quietly.

After Xiao Mo motioned for Fan Xiang to sit down, Deng Shangquan had already put the tea on the stick, and Xiao Mo smiled at Fan Xiang: "I didn't expect Zhang Yansheng to greet me in person, but I let you prepare in vain, and almost exposed the existence of the secret camp, but I didn't think about it."

Fan Xiang shook his head and said, "Young Master, you are too worried, if the secret camp can be discovered by others so easily, then the subordinates will have no shame to come and meet the son." What's more, the residence prepared by his subordinates in the capital is far inferior to this champion building, young master, it will be better for you to be received by this Zhang Yansheng. ”

Xiao Mo nodded and asked, "How is the development of the dark camp in the capital now?"

Hearing Xiao Mo's inquiry, Fan Xiang couldn't help frowning, and replied: "The situation in the capital is very complicated, from the various officials in the imperial court to the three sects and nine streams in the market, they have already been divided by the powerful people in the DPRK and China, leaving us with very little room to play, and the subordinates are now just secretly buying a restaurant and two teahouses, and controlling a small gang with only a few dozen people, but one hundred and thirty spies have all been inserted into many places where information is distributed, but because the time is still short, the secret camp has not yet been able to play a role. The subordinates are not doing well, and the young master is also asked to punish him.

As he spoke, Fan Xiang stood up, lowered his hand and bowed his head.

Xiao Mo shook his head with a smile, motioned for Fan Xiang to sit down, and said, "You just entered Beijing two months earlier than me, and it is not easy to do this." The establishment of a retribution organization cannot be completed overnight, and rest assured, I am not such an impatient person. ”

Hearing Xiao Mo's answer, Fan Xiang's expression relaxed a little, and after bowing to Xiao Mo, he sat aside again and continued to listen to Xiao Mo's inquiry.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Mo asked again: "What happened to Ban Ran and Li Liming?" ”

Fan Xiang said: "The Seventh Young Master and Steward Li have already bought two workshops in the remote part of the capital, and bought a shop in a prosperous area, and all kinds of materials have been collected. ”

Xiao Mo nodded with satisfaction, and after asking Fan Xiang some more details, Fan Xiang bowed and left.

However, when Fan Xiang walked to the door, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked Xiao Mo again: "Young Master, didn't Wang Wurui and Prince Wang Wurui accompany you to Beijing this time?" ”

A gleam flashed in Xiao Mo's eyes, he looked up at Fan Xiang's eyes and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
