326 [Three Plains Doctrine]
Zhao Han raised his hand and made a move, and an errand came carrying several large boxes.
"To be honest," Zhao Han glanced at the many scholars, "I am very disappointed in you. Many of you are lifters, and there are a few Jinshi who are worried or dismissed. Most of your family's land has been forcibly divided, so you can't understand why this town divides the land? Mr. Huang (Xu Ying) spreads everywhere, don't you never watch "Datong Collection"? ”
No one spoke.
Zhao Han asked by name: "Among the people, have you seen "Datong Collection"? ”
"Yes." Chen Zilong replied.
Zhao Han asked again: "Do you know why I divided the field?" ”
Chen Zilong said: "The "Datong Collection" has a lot of discussions, and it can be summed up in only 16 words about the policy of dividing the land: suppressing mergers, increasing taxes, cracking down on the powerful and powerful, and winning the hearts of the people. ”
Zhao Han smiled: "Are you against adding mathematics and geometry to the imperial examination?" ”
"Not against it." Chen Zilong said.
"Why didn't you speak?" Zhao Han asked.
Chen Zilong sighed: "If you talk about it, you will offend many people." Mathematics and geometry seem to be small roads, but they are actually avenues. The draft of Mr. Xuanhu's "Geometric Original" is now in the contemptible study. ”
No wonder Chen Zilong did not object to adding materials to the imperial examination, it turned out that he had already mastered it, and even collected the draft of Xu Guangqi's "Geometric Original".
"What do you think of imperial power? Tell the truth. Zhao Han said.
Chen Zilong did not answer directly, but said: "For people, snakes, insects, rats and ants are indistinguishable from good and evil. To the heavens, people are like snakes, insects, rats, and ants. The heavens are mighty, but the good and evil of people cause their blessings and misfortunes, and their rewards for good and punishment of evil, but the good are not good, and the evil are not evil. Heaven has no reason to tell it, so it has not been realized so far. If you know that you can't do something, you should relax your power less. ”
As soon as these words came out, some scholars were shocked, and some scholars were amazed.
These words are clearly satirizing Chongzhen, and at the same time, they are also reminding Zhao Han not to be stubborn.
People can't figure out the situation of snakes, insects, rats and ants, just as the Son of Heaven can't figure out the situation of all peoples. However, the Son of Heaven insisted on figuring it out, and then arbitrarily rewarded and punished, resulting in unclear rewards and punishments and no one doing things, and the rights of the Son of Heaven should be restricted.
Many anti-Qing righteous people, including Chen Zilong, don't look at them as martyrs for the Ming Dynasty, but their writings hate Chongzhen very much, and they have put forward the idea of limiting imperial power.
Chen Zilong's real proposition is to carry out "family politics", restore the ancient fifth-class titles, and restore the ecology of the scholars of the Han and Jin dynasties - although it is restricting imperial power, it is actually a reversal of history.
Of course, after reading "Datong Ji", Chen Zilong's thinking is changing, because he found that family politics will cause even worse negative effects.
Zhao Han heard another meaning: "Do you want to form a party? ”
Chen Zilong said: "Alone, who can do things? People must have friends, things must have parties, and friends have been difficult to stop since ancient times. The fierce struggle of the Ming Party stems from the cabinet system. Imperial power is in favor of each other, and one is the other. There is another share of power, and everyone wants to get the position of first assistant. The monarchs and ministers were suspicious, and the ministers fought with each other, and each invoked six ministries in an attempt to gain the power of the ministry. At the same time, the political struggle became even worse, and the party struggle intensified. ”
"Can friends rule the world?" Zhao Han asked.
Chen Zilong said: "The party of gentlemen should rule the world, and villains should not be allowed to form parties and occupy high positions. ”
"This is a difference!" A soldier jerked to his feet.
Zhao Han smiled and said, "Please report your name." ”
The scholar arched his hand and said: "Shanyin Zhang Dai, the word Zongzi." ”
Zhang Dai?
Zhao Han smiled even more happily: "Zhang Zongzi, please speak." ”
Zhang Dai rolled up his sleeves and said: "There are no villains in the Donglin Party and the Restoration Society?" There is no gentleman among the eunuchs? How to come to the party of gentlemen, the party of villains. I agree with Hou Chaozong's (Hou Fangyu)'s "Theory of Friends", friends cannot be divided into gentlemen and villains, but should be divided into the party at the top and the party at the bottom. ”
"What is the party at the top and the party at the bottom?" Zhao Han asked.
Zhang Dai said: "Those who live in temples are the party on top; Those who are in the rivers and lakes are the party below. The party at the top is responsible for national politics, and the party at the bottom is auxiliary. However, in terms of party contention, the party at the top is the light disaster, and the party at the bottom is the worst disaster. A party at the top is a combination of the advantages and disadvantages of countless parties at the bottom, and the things it does are also a combination of countless advantages and disadvantages. ”
"Wonderful!" Zhao Han clapped his hands in admiration.
This means that there are people in power in a party, and there are countless opposition party members standing behind it.
Once a party member is in power, his words and deeds cannot represent himself, but represent the interests of countless party members behind him. Even if a gentleman becomes a party leader, he is swayed by the interests of countless party members, and he cannot govern according to his own heart.
Zhang Dai arched his hand and said: "Zongzhen, this is not my remarks, I am just quoting Hou Chaozong's "Theory of Friends". ”
Hou Fangyu saw it so thoroughly?
Zhao Han didn't know that "On Friends" was an article written by Hou Fangyu when he was a teenager.
"Where is Hou Chaozong?" Zhao Han asked.
Chen Zilong replied: "Beijing." ”
Chongzhen is promulgating an "atonement decree" that allows the criminals in the prison to be released as long as the family members pay enough money.
Hou Fangyu didn't come to Jiangxi this time, and went to Beijing to pay money to redeem his father.
Another scholar stood up: "A gentleman may form an association, but he must not form a party!" ”
Zhao Han smiled: "Please report your name." ”
The Fushe scholar said: "Xia Yunyi, the word Yi Zhong." ”
This is Xia Wanchun's father, who was previously in Dangzhi County, Fujian. Some time ago, the city surrendered, and because of the excellent official reputation and countless people saved, he could directly be a county official. However, you must go to Bailuzhou Academy for further study!
Xia Yunyi and Chen Zilong are good friends, but they haven't seen each other for two or three years, and their views are very different.
With the twilight of the Daming Society, the Donglin Party and the Fushe are also reflecting, and a large part of the people have become "mediators".
That is, to mediate party disputes, everyone gives up personal grievances and conspires together for national affairs.
Historically, with the death of Chongzhen, there were more and more "mediators", and they didn't want to engage in party disputes anymore. However, the people in power were unwilling to mediate, and it was already a situation of endless death, and Xia Yunyi and Zhang Dai both firmly advocated mediation.
When the Hongguang small court collapsed, the "mediators" became more thorough, believing that gentlemen should not form a party, and friends would inevitably bring disaster to the country and the people!
Xia Yunyi continued: "If a gentleman does not have a party, woe will be to the party. Once a party dispute is formed, everything is black and white, what is the benefit for the country and the people? ”
"A gentleman is not a party, but a villain will form a party, and under the exclusion and suppression, the whole dynasty will be a villain!" Chen Zilong retorted.
Two former friends, in front of Zhao Han, quarreled like that.
At the beginning, Zhao Han was still laughing, because the Fushe was split, and it was a split in the ideological roots.
Suddenly, Zhao Han's smile disappeared, and he remembered his Datong Society.
If after the founding of the People's Republic of China, all the people in the world are members of the Datong Society, what is the difference between that and no Datong Society?
It will definitely become like that, the Cosmos will occupy a high position in the future, everyone will break their heads and drill in, and in the end everyone will be a member of the Cosmos. When the time comes, the Datong Society will be Confucianism, and Confucianism will be the Datong Society, and it will be difficult to distinguish the two from each other.
In this case, what else does the Datong Society need to do, can't it directly change Confucianism?
In other words, directly turn Confucianism into what you want!
The dispute between Xia Yunyi and Chen Zilong became more and more intense, and the rest of the scholars joined in one after another, which turned into a big debate among hundreds of scholars on the spot.
Liu Ru was frightened when she heard this, and looked at Zhao Han from time to time to see if he was provoked.
It was really too outrageous to argue, and some people even proposed that the emperor should sit firmly in a high position, and the gentleman should form a party to rule the world.
What emperor didn't get angry when he heard this?
"Smack!"
After arguing for a long time, Zhao Han clapped his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet.
"Phew! Sigh! "I couldn't stop it, and the guards began to blow the brass whistle."......
Now it was finally quiet, the scholars calmed down, and many people broke out in a cold sweat, and found that they had said a lot of things that should not be said.
Zhao Han said with a smile: "Such a big debate can also be held in the future, which can be called an academic dispute and an ideological dispute." However, disputes should not be brought to officialdom, let alone to the court, and I cannot tolerate party disputes. ”
"The head town is wise!"
The scholars shouted, and they were already convinced.
They quarreled like that just now, and they also said that they would restrict the rights of the emperor and turn the emperor into a statue of a bodhisattva, but Zhao Han was not angry because of this.
This Mr. Zhao is really open-minded!
"Send a book!" Zhao Han ordered.
The messenger took out the latest version of "Datong Ji" from the box, and added three articles to the content: "Yuan Jun", "Yuan Chen", and "Yuan Min".
Zhao Han said: "Why the Ming Dynasty will be overthrown, I am too lazy to repeat it today, it is clearly written in the "Datong Collection", and why it is also written clearly why you are divided into fields. This is the latest edition, with three articles added for you to read carefully. ”
After Chen Zilong got the book, he quickly opened three new articles and found that the signature was actually Huang Zongxi.
It was not done by Huang Zongxi alone, when revising and supplementing the details, Kuang Lu made some suggestions, and Zhao Han also added some content.
Chen Zilong read it quickly, combined with the words of Confucius and Mencius, and combined with his own thoughts, and suddenly became enlightened.
The three articles discuss the relationship between the monarch and the people, establish the responsibilities of the monarch and the people, and thus construct a complete national concept.
People-oriented, headed by the king, and governed by ministers.
All the people in the world are the foundation of a country, and the monarch and the minister must serve all the people. Wanmin does not specifically refer to the gentry, but to the head of the Qian. In the future, they shall no longer be called the monarch's father, nor shall they be called the official of their parents.
This kind of simple truth is very shocking in the late Ming Dynasty, even if Confucianism has long had similar remarks.
To put it more solemnly, the three articles of the monarch and the people are the foundation of Zhao Han's country!
Original, initial, beginning.
The original king, the original minister, and the original people, that is, to explore the true face of the king, the ministers, and the people.
Once this is clearly understood, the principle of governing the country will be understood, and it can be called the "Three Plains Doctrine." The three articles will be used as compulsory subjects in primary schools in the future, and with the popularization of primary schools, all the people will know about them, so that the "Three Principles" will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Officials may deteriorate, "Datong Ji" may be shelved, and the "Three Plains" printed in the minds of the people cannot be erased by anyone!
Regardless of the shock of the scholars, Zhao Han said with a smile: "Gentlemen, feast at noon, and take you to see the Datong army in the afternoon!" ”
