Zhu Quan remembered that he would follow Zhu Yuanzhang's holy decree tomorrow morning to go to Guozijian to attend classes, and he had a headache, and he talked to Jing Kun about the fact that after the dynasty was dispersed this morning, he scolded all the Song Dynasty emperors under Song Taizu and gave Emperor Hongwu a sharp reprimand and let him go to Guozijian to study.

When Jing Kun heard this, he was relieved and slightly worried in his heart, and he was relieved that His Royal Highness King Ning seemed to be born not to put any emperor in his eyes, and there was no fear in his heart, and he regarded the emperor as an equal, an opponent who played with each other, and when he fought wits and strength, he would not be passive invisibly. Worried that some of his words were too shocking and eye-catching, thinking of this, he sighed and said slowly: "Your Highness must be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, many things can be well known, that is, that layer of window paper must not be pierced, otherwise it will only attract taboos." If it weren't for the identity of His Royal Highness the Prince, and you had been valued by the emperor recently, if you were an ordinary courtier, just because of today's criticism of the Song Dynasty emperor's words, I am afraid that you will already be in prison at this time. ”

Zhu Quan frowned angrily when he heard this, and said: "These sour Confucians come and go just like that, and they are used to hypnotize me, but they are immediate and effective. ”

Jing Kun shook his hand with a smile and said slowly: "Confucianism respects loyalty to the monarch, patriotism, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith. Even after a thousand years, these truths are of inestimable value for imperceptibly transforming the subjects, ensuring the stability of the country, resisting foreign enemies, and benefiting the common people. It is not allowed to be sour and Confucianism, and the theory of rotten Confucianism will wipe out all Confucianism. It is a pity that since Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty abolished Confucianism, most of the Confucian scholars in later generations have been forced to change greatly due to the situation they are in, so they can only take a peek at the leopard, and what they get is just a scaly grasp. ”

"Forced by the situation?" Zhu Quan said strangely when he heard this, and he didn't know why for a while.

After pondering for a moment, Jing Kun said: "What did His Royal Highness recite to Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang say, from the remarks of the great Confucian Dong Zhongshu during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? ”

When Zhu Quan was studying with him in the East Palace, what instilled the most in Fang Xiaoru was this Dong Zhongshu's argument, and he said back when he heard it: "It is said that only the Son of Heaven is ordered by the Son of Heaven, the world is ordered by the Son of Heaven, and a country is ordered by the king." East! Square! Net .com the king's fate is obedient, then the people are obedient; If the king's order is rebellious, the people will be disobedient; Therefore, it is said: One person has a celebration, and the people rely on it. That's right. Speaking of this, I only felt that my mouth was dry, I picked up the teacup and moistened my throat, and said with a wry smile: "I want to doze off now as soon as I hear this passage." ”

Seeing him in such distress, Jing Kun couldn't help but be a little amused, and continued in a deep voice: "That's because His Highness already has a preconceived idea in his heart, and he has a great prejudice against Confucianism, and what he sees is already very biased. Speaking of this, he sighed lightly and slowly continued: "In all fairness, this remark from Dong Zhongshu's "Spring and Autumn Dew" is an incisive and fair statement. "Only the Son of Heaven is commanded by Heaven, the world is commanded by the Son of Heaven, and a country is commanded by the king. The first two sentences naturally emphasize the supremacy and inviolability of imperial power. But "one person has a celebration, and the people rely on it." That's right. The "one person" here refers to the Son of Heaven, and only when the Son of Heaven acts rightly and conforms to the way of heaven and earth can he "celebrate", otherwise he will suffer. Therefore, what Dong Zhongshu means in this passage is that the great responsibility of the Son of Heaven is incomparable, and his moral ability is not only related to his own good fortune, but also to the good fortune and misfortune of the people. ”

Zhu Quan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "This is to affirm the supremacy of the emperor's power, and also to explain the responsibility and obligation of the monarch to countless Li people." Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Jing Kun, and suddenly smiled: "From this point of view, this Lao Dong's words are not only not just sycophants, but have some warning and education tones for the emperor?" Hearing Jing Kun's explanation, he realized that he had preconceived in the past, and mistook this old Dong for a nerd first-class character.

Jing Kun sighed and said, "This Dong Zhongshu made this remark, which caused Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, to be angry, and he was arrested and locked up for a few days before being released to punish him for his nonsense. ”

When Zhu Quan heard the teacher say this, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and said with a smile: "It's lucky that he met Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, an emperor who is eloquent and tolerant." If you encounter some narrow-minded resentful monarchs who will repay him, I am afraid that he will be guilty of bullying the king, exterminate the nine clans, and burn the books he wrote. ”

Jing Kun nodded and continued: "Therefore, many Confucian disciples in later generations who regarded Confucius and Mencius as sages only grasped the scales of Confucius and Mencius's remarks and denied the ideas of other schools, which is outright rotten." As His Royal Highness said, the Confucian scholars of later generations, such as Zhou Guanzheng who patrolled the city and watched the government, and Zhuo Jing in the affairs of the household, realized that during the Warring States Period, he strengthened the Qin State by changing the law, swept away the Six Kingdoms for Qin Shi Huang, unified China, and laid a solid foundation for Shang Ying, who advocated the importance of "rule of law" for governing the country, which is extremely valuable. It is a pity that the strict punishment and strict law advocated by the Legalists, and the rule of law is not effective in a short period of time, and it is bound to be enemies with the emperor's relatives and wealthy clans, so although Shang Ying strengthened the Qin State and laid an immortal contribution for Qin Shi Huang to unify China, it is a pity that he was tortured to death. ”

Zhu Quan had heard of it before, but it was not until this time, when he was in the whirlpool of power in this ancient world that he realized how much courage it took to be a courtier to uphold his belief in governing the country and be the enemy of the whole world. Thinking of this, Lang Sheng said: "Although he was tortured, this idea of ruling the country by law, even after hundreds of years, is admired by the most powerful, wealthy, and civilized countries. Without the Shang Dynasty reform, how could Qin Shi Huang's unified China come about? The wheel of history was changed by one person, which is indeed very remarkable, and the impact is far-reaching, and it has surpassed countless emperors. ”

Jing Kun was very relieved when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Confucius, the era in which Mencius lived was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, long before Qin Shi Huang unified China and became emperor. Qin, Chu, Qi, Wei, Yan, Han, and Zhao can only be regarded as vassal states, nominally subordinate to Zhou Tianzi, and there is no idea of great unification in the hearts of the world. Therefore, talents like Shang Ying and Sun Bin are not working for their own country, and Confucius and Mencius are also traveling to study in various countries. The style of study advocated by the scholars of all countries is that of a hundred schools of thought, each expressing his own opinions, and often having polemics. And since Qin Shi Huang, burning books and pit Confucianism, with the title of emperor who reigns over the world and is supreme, things are not so simple. ”

Zhu Quan smiled bitterly in his heart, stretched out his hand and touched his nose, and secretly thought to himself: The so-called "orthodox" Confucianism that the emperors of later generations admired, I am afraid that it can only emphasize the first two sentences of Lao Dong, pay attention to the power of the monarch, and the supremacy. Ignoring the last few sentences, the world rises and falls, and the emperor is responsible. Anyway, it is the emperor's credit for the country to do well, and if it is destroyed, it is the traitorous ministers, and it has nothing to do with the emperor. The emperors of the feudal dynasties, whether they were faint or bright, were unavoidable, and they all liked to educate their subjects with what they considered "orthodox" Confucianism, but in terms of governing the country, many practical things were inseparable from the uprightness of Legalist thought, which is the so-called taking what they need. He thought it clear in his heart, but he didn't say anything, turned his head to look at Jing Kun, and said with a smile: "I suddenly understand what the Buddhists mean, don't say, don't say." ”

Jing Kun stroked his palms and laughed when he heard this.

Zhu Quan saw that the teacher was smiling very happily, sighed secretly in his heart, and said: It's a pity that many people in later generations made the "Confucian" thought that they realized in their eyes and only grasped the scales into a "weak and timid" hat, regardless of the indiscriminate and white buttons on other people's heads. Completely ignoring Mencius's emphasis on loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, sacrificing one's life for righteousness, this kind of masculine thinking, in the long feudal society, also cultivated countless national heroes who bravely resisted foreign enemies, preferred death rather than surrender, and protected their own culture. This kind of absurd, childish and ridiculous behavior is tantamount to peeking at a leopard in a tube and overturning a boatload of people with a rod.

Recalling the early dynasty, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had an ambiguous attitude towards the conquest of the Mobei Yuan Court and the choice of the commander of the army. Zhu Quan immediately said what he had seen and heard in the early morning, as well as his own answer when Zhu Yuanzhang asked about it.

Jing Kun pondered for a moment and then said softly: "According to the old man's journey to Liaodong with the army, I know from General Wang Bi that General Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, has made many great contributions since he joined Zhu Yuanzhang, Pingxi Shu, Xiayun, is good at cavalry command, and has fought countless battles with the Yuan army, and has never been defeated. On the surface, it seems that everyone expects it, but it is the best choice for the manager. It's a pity that he fought too hard, and it wasn't the old Huaixi department, so I'm afraid there are other variables in this matter. ”

Zhu Quan smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: This old man Zhu obviously likes to be arbitrary and arbitrary, covering the sky with one hand, but he wants to ask east and west, and it seems to be very democratic, I really don't know what he is thinking. In desperation, he stood up and stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "Forget it, anyway, whoever is the commander, I will learn from whoever leads the troops to fight, and I won't worry about this leisure." ”

Jing Kun remembered what Zhu Quan said, and he would go to Guozijian to study tomorrow morning, stared at Zhu Quan with both eyes and smiled: "The word forbearance has a knife in his heart, whether it is a battlefield general, or on the temple, those who should endure must be patient." ”

"When Zhu Laosi and I were in favor of moving the capital and killing those students of the National Prison today, we had already carried the black cauldron. Zhu Laosi is going to do this thing of offending the world's scholars at noon tomorrow, isn't he angry? If he can bear it, I can bear it, anyway, when I go to study tomorrow, I'll be obedient, let them spray, what do you like. Zhu Quan said in a dead pig tone that was not afraid of boiling water.

Late at night, Zhu Quan lay on his bed, tossing and turning, secretly complaining about his master Qin Zhuofeng, and said: The master doesn't know where he went, but he is nowhere to be seen at the critical time, and he doesn't come to discipline this rude and willful senior sister.
