Chapter 566: A Different Worldview

When the time came to the end of the Ming Dynasty in history, the integrity of the scholars was exposed. Still in this era, we have seen a lot of brilliant personalities, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chengzong, Yang Tinglin, Sun Chuanting, etc., just like the so-called big waves and sand, mud and sand. The time to truly embody the spirit and integrity can only be in this turbulent period of changing dynasties.

What is the most important thing in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty readers? Etiquette? Tsunade? No, no, no, these things are what the emperor thinks is the most important! Because this is the basis of the rule, when Zhu Youzhen decided to change these things, it shows that he is desperate for the status quo. The scholars of the Ming Dynasty valued the foundation of their survival the most, that is, the so-called saints and sages, as long as they said it, they could not touch it. Whoever touches it is the mortal enemy of the world's scholars. This point will never be shaken.

But now someone just touched it, this person is called Chen Xie, hundreds of scholars are blocked on the road to Chen's house, their voices are already shouting dumb, and many people are sitting silently. The person sitting at the front is called Liu Zongzhou. He didn't shout or make trouble, but he put a sign in front of him with a sentence written on it: Chen thief! You cannot be washed away unless you kneel before the saints to apologize.

Liu Zongzhou, as a representative, was followed by a group of people sitting, and they all came to the hunger strike in protest. This person was very typical in the late Ming Dynasty, putting aside his intolerance, in terms of his personal destiny, it can be said that he did not lose his integrity. is such a person, after the establishment of the Hongguang Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Liu Zong bit Ma Shiying again on Monday, instead of focusing on how to revitalize the Ming Dynasty. even played Hongguang: "Dacheng advances and retreats, and Guanjiang Zuo rises and falls." "What do you mean? Ruan Dacheng was enabled by Ma Shiying, and Liu Zongzhou grabbed the pigtail of the "eunuch party" in the early years of Chongzhen to attack Ma Shiying. When have you been doing this?

There was also Huang Zongxi in the crowd, and there was no big problem with his integrity. But at the beginning of Hongguang. He played a bad role, and the Donglin-Fushe group headed by him and Liu Zongzhou did not want to unite their colleagues, revive the Ming Dynasty, and specialize in party strife, which directly led to the chaos of the entire short history of the Hongguang Dynasty, and did not make any practical moves.

Now it is such a group of people who are standing in front of Chen Xie again, and the most important thing in their minds is the most important thing. Fight to the death. The silence is because they don't plan to talk to Chen Xie, there is nothing to talk about. Because Chen Xie touched their roots, either Chen Xie went to the tablet of the saints and sages to bow down and apologize, or they died here.

Chen Xie came alone, and the guards were all standing a hundred meters away. Walking to everyone unhurriedly, Chen Xie had a relaxed smile on his face. Facing everyone's fiery eyes, Chen Xie said very calmly: "If you want to sit here, just continue to do it." I will not stop you. I am here to say just one thing, the truth is not in your hands. Truth comes from practice. If you're not convinced, please go to the campus tomorrow morning. I'll show you the practice. What is Gewu? ”

After saying this, Chen Xie's gaze swept over the face of the sixty-six-year-old Liu Zongzhou, bowed slightly, bowed his hand, and slowly turned around. Far away. Chen Xie left like this, leaving everyone with a back. Liu Zongzhou, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes at this time and said lightly: "Tomorrow morning, everyone will go, and the old man will stay." Huang Zongxi said on the side: "I will stay too." ”

Liu Zongzhou has also done a lot of introspection on Donglin itself, but it can only be regarded as a little scratch surface. There are many things in the bones that will not change. Such a person, expecting him to make changes under Chen Xie's words, is a dream. Therefore, he didn't plan to leave, but he didn't stop everyone from going to see what tricks Chen Xie was doing, and even hoped that tomorrow morning, after everyone watched Chen Xie's tricks, they would be able to expose his thief face. Being able to win with dignity is naturally the most desirable result.

Before dusk, Chen Xie came again with a food box and a bag, and everyone was almost gone, leaving Liu Zongzhou, Huang Zongxi, and more than a dozen disciples present. Chen Xie stepped forward, put down the food box and said, "I've always wanted to sit down with you and have a good talk, but I don't have this opportunity." As I said, tomorrow morning I will prove to you, that there is no need for a hunger strike now, and if you think the truth is in your own hands, why should you fight it by such means? As for me as a person, I think you can't help but admit that I have done a lot of practical things for Daming. It can even be said that half of the current stable situation in the Ming Dynasty is due to me. ”

Liu Zongzhou was silent for a long time, his gray beard swayed in the wind, he closed his eyes and did not speak for a long time, and the others did not speak. Seeing this, Chen Xie sighed, put down the bag in his hand and said: "It's late autumn, the wind is cold and the dew is heavy, Mr. is not young anymore, spread a blanket." ”

Liu Zongzhou suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Chen Xie's sincerity carefully, as if he was thinking of something, Chen Xie looked at him silently, without the slightest intention of evasion. After staring at each other for a long time, Liu Zongzhou suddenly said: "Your eyes are very clean, and your heart must be very calm." Liu doesn't understand, why do you do so many things that corrupt the rules of etiquette and law, and why do you want to slander the saints and sages? Since his retirement in fifteen years, everything you have done has improved the Ming Dynasty bit by bit. Old man, I don't understand you. ”

Just open your mouth, Chen Xie smiled and pointed to the food box, Liu Zongzhou said lightly: "Okay, the old man will listen to you." ”

Chen Xie opened the food box, and all the students retreated, and Huang Zongxi stood aside and watched the two sit opposite each other. There were four cold dishes in the food box, and a pot of wine was warmed. At sunset, the two sat in the middle of the road, with a felt on the ground, and the two sat opposite each other, without the intention of moving the wine and food first, Chen Xie poured two glasses of wine, raised a glass and said: "First respect your knowledge and style." ”

Liu Zongzhou was unmoved, bowed slightly, quite complacent, but did not mean to move the wine glass. Chen Xie put down the cup with a smile and said indifferently: "Mr. Liu, you and I both hope that Daming will be good, the difference is that one is a theorist and the other is a doer." Mr. do learning, and take this as the standard, ask others to learn your knowledge, and reach a standard in morality, everyone is like this, and the Ming Dynasty will be as safe as Mount Tai. This is a view that goes against the will, and it is also a view that is divorced from reality. As long as it is an individual, there will be seven emotions and six desires, and there will be its own thoughts. The idea that you want everyone to accept your point of view is based on the fact that everyone has different living conditions. Just as in the fifteenth year of the year, His Majesty asked Mr. Ce, how did Mr. answer His Majesty? Let His Majesty be self-cultivation, a pro-gentleman, and a far villain. I don't think you're going to feel like you're wrong, that's the difference between you and you. You, detached from reality, detached from reality. ”

After saying this, Liu Zongzhou's face showed disdain, and even disdain to fight back. Chen Xie sighed and continued: "I know that this word can't convince you, even if I make the results, I can't convince you. But I still have to say, Jiannu, I fight, Liukou, I destroy. Relief for the victims is also a framework for me to sit up, and it is still my work to relocate the victims and resettle them. The emptiness of the treasury is still solved by my ideas. Even if I do so much, you still won't agree with me, and you won't even admit that you and these people led by you are helpless when the Ming Dynasty is in danger. Without me, the thieves were still raging in the Central Plains at this time, without me, Jiannu could enter the customs at any time, without me, tens of thousands of victims starved to death every day, or took risks. To be honest, I really don't know, where does your self-confidence come from such a superior posture in front of me? ”

At these words, Liu Zongzhou's face was slightly gloomy, and the others behind him wanted to speak and stopped, Huang Zongxi even stepped forward to speak, but was stopped by Liu Zongzhou raising his hand and said, "Let him continue." ”

Seeing this, Chen Xie smiled slightly, and said in an extremely confident tone: "I am not as good as you in learning, but compared to doing things, I can top all of you alone, and I have to multiply it by ten, or even more." I know that you will not admit it, and even if you can't refute me, you will just be like an ostrich who buries his head in the sand and thinks that the world is what you see. Hehe, let me apologize, do you deserve it? The so-called sages, what have they done for the people of this world? In the world, people always have to leave something, and Confucianism re-establishes his words and hearts. I, on the other hand, value myself to do a little insignificant thing for this nation and the general public of this nation, and do my best to help them. The ultimate goal of all efforts is to stand on the top of the world's nations forever for this nation. Daming is not the only one in this world, let alone the center of the world, and what I want to do is to make Daming the center of the world in the future. You can ignore the last paragraph, because you don't understand. That's it, I'll keep the things, and you can dispose of them as you please. ”

After Chen Xie finished speaking, he stood up, patted his buttocks, left a free and easy back, and walked slowly towards the sunset. Liu Zongzhou and the others behind him were still silent, facing the back of the halo shrouded in the sunset. When Chen Xie said that you don't understand, Liu Zongzhou's heart was hit hard, and the so-called top of the world's nations, he had indeed heard of it for the first time. In his mind, in addition to the Ming Dynasty, is there any other nation that can be compared with the Ming Dynasty? Liu Zongzhou wanted to refute it, but thinking that Chen Xie was a descendant of the Southern Song Dynasty who returned from overseas, he didn't open his mouth to refute. If it was someone, Liu Zongzhou would definitely spray him to death, but this person's name is Chen Xie, and he has too many halos on him that cannot be ignored.
