Chapter 19 Discussion on Reconstructing Yuan History

Fang Xiaoru said: "If there is anything, you can say it in the court, and you don't need to talk about it here." ”

Liu Sanwu said: "Even here, we are above board. I only ask you, don't you care about Old Master Song's name. "History of the Yuan" was repaired by the old master of Song. ”

Fang Xiaoru said: "If you are talking about this matter, you can leave." The name behind the teacher is not maintained by deception. When the teacher was there, he often lamented that Yuan Shi was not quiet, and now there are people who are willing to make up for it, so it is naturally better. ”

Liu Sanwu said: "Okay, "Yuan History" is still a trivial matter. But His Majesty's heart is elusive. ”

Yes, in Liu Sanwu's opinion, He Xi is a small problem.

The biggest problem is Zhu Yuanzhang.

Without Zhu Yuanzhang's support, He Xi is a junior, even though he has some talent. But it doesn't affect the overall situation, and it's not nice to say. There have been too many geniuses since ancient times. But whether genius can be used or not is another question. Jia Yi of Han was extremely talented, but he could only die of illness in Changsha.

Zhu Yuanzhang's change in attitude is the most important thing.

Therefore, Liu Sanwu took the risk to meet Fang Xiaoru. It is because Fang Xiaoru is a close minister of the Son of Heaven. Walking beside Zhu Yuanzhang. can best peek into Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

Fang Xiaoru didn't answer Liu Sanwu positively at all, and said, "Mr. Liu has read He Xi's speech?" ”

Liu Sanwu said: "I looked at it slightly. ”

Fang Xiaoru said: "In my opinion, He Xi's talent is amazing, and he has never written before, and he has never written before. It's a pioneering talent. It's just young and vigorous, self-righteous. Isolated from Confucianism. However, he is better when he gets older. Don't worry at all. ”

Liu Sanwu frowned slightly and said, "Fang Xigu, what do you mean. All He Xi's words and deeds, where there is a little bit of a Confucian disciple, is full of utilitarian hearts, not afraid of the mandate of heaven, and does not respect the sages. Where is it just youthful and vigorous? ”

Fang Xiaoru said: "Why do you bother Lord Liu? He Xi is such a junior, he should be well supported. Could it be that my Confucian orthodoxy for thousands of years will be shaken by one person. ”

Liu Sanwu stopped talking, looked at Fang Xiaoru, was silent for a while, and said, "I didn't expect that Fang Xigu had this attitude today. He looked up at the sky and said, "Today I have come for nothing, so I will take my leave." ”

Immediately, Liu Sanwu shook his hand and left.

Fang Xiaoru tasted the inferior tea sent by his wife and said, "Lord Liu's mind is too anxious. ”

In fact, Fang Xiaoru also knew that it was not Liu Sanwu's urgency. But Liu Sanwu couldn't understand Zhu Yuanzhang's importance to He Xi. He is in front of Zhu Yuanzhang every day, although he doesn't know many things, but there is some intimacy between his gestures, and Fang Xiaoru can also see it.

Especially after He Xi gave him a soft nail that time.

Fang Xiaoru understands better that He Xi can't be hard pressed. Hard pressing is counterproductive. There is only one other way, and that is to integrate He Xi's doctrine into Confucianism.

As Fang Xiaoru said, Confucianism has been orthodox for thousands of years. It's hard to shake because of one person. Especially for thousands of years, hundreds of schools of thought have been integrated into Confucianism, and now it is the integration of the three religions, Buddhism, Taoism, into Confucianism, and there will be people who will introduce Catholicism and Islam into Confucianism in the future.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang has a tendency, he cannot use administrative power to punish Shao Zhengmao. Then use another method, Confucianism has the ultimate inclusiveness, and at this point, Fang Xiaoru never felt that Confucianism would lose. The worst result is just another faction in Confucianism.

There are already too many sub-studies, scriptures, science, qi, mind, and Yongjia. Don't care about any more.

Of course, Fang Xiaoru's passive response does not mean that Fang Xiaoru will not do anything. In fact, Fang Xiaoru privately collected all of He Xi's doctrines. In order to learn it thoroughly, crumple it. Grafted into the Confucian system. It's like all sorts of other doctrines.

It also requires a lot of work.

------

"Not bad." In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned He Xi and praised: "You can be regarded as understanding the samadhi." ”

He Xi said: "The son has his father's order, if he is stubborn, it won't be an elm head." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "If you think that this matter is over, then you are underestimating some people." Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked Xu Zheng to bring a stack of notes. said, "Look at it." ”

He Xi took it and took a look, these recitals were all about rebuilding the history of the Yuan Dynasty.

He Xi looked through them one by one.

There are a lot of opinions.

I feel that the imperial court has already repaired the history of the Yuan. It was written by Song Lian, and various celebrities participated. It's not perfect. But if the court backtracks now, I'm afraid it's not good.

He Xi felt that this was probably the apprentice and grandson of the original Xiuyuan Shi gang. Song Lian is open-minded, and Fang Xiaoru is also a gentleman. I can see the rebuilding of the Yuan history. But not everyone can do that. Even if they could do it, his heirs and disciples might not be able to put it down.

You can't watch He Xi step on them on the top.

There are also those who support the rewriting of the Yuan history.

But he didn't support He Xi's big move. I think I just need to smoke some Hanlin and revise it again.

There's a book of notes, which is very interesting. Support He Xi's opinion. It was only a small revision that he believed that the matter of rebuilding the Yuan history should be hung under the door of the Hanlin Academy.

This book is really a model of crossing the river and demolishing bridges and drawing ladders from trees. came a graft and laughed at all of He Xi's proposals, but He Xi didn't have anything at all. The intestines of the literati have turned in an unknown number of circles.

He Xi saw that this recital was written by Liu Sanwu of the Hanlin Academy.

Suddenly understood. This is a struggle for power for the Hanlin Academy.

Dozens of letters, He Xi read them for a while.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly: "What do you think?" ”

He Xi said: "It's a little inconvenient. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little strange and said, "Why is it inconvenient? ”

He Xi said: "We had newspapers at that time. If you report the article, you can spread the word. Now that there are dozens of letters, do I want to write dozens of letters of polemics? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "The matter of the newspaper, now is not the time, I will talk about it in the future." However, if you say something inconvenient, I will give you a convenience. ”

He Xi said: "What does Your Majesty mean? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I haven't had a sutra feast for a long time. ”

The so-called opening feast is to teach the emperor a lesson. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, a system was formed. But Zhu Yuanzhang has everything here in a hurry. There are no specific rules either. Back then, when Song Lian just came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side. Zhu Yuanzhang has been taking classes for a while.

It was only later that Zhu Yuanzhang was busy with affairs, and he saw some situations that he had not thought of before, and he also had a new understanding of Confucianism. Gradually, it became estranged.

I don't mention much about the scriptures.

He Xi asked tentatively, "What does Your Majesty mean by opening the sutra feast?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's not just the opening feast, it's also you who speak." When the time comes, many people will come to the Hanlin Academy, the Ministry of Rites, and I will set up a stage for you, but it depends on you what the final result will be. If you succeed, naturally nothing. But if you fail------"

He Xi said: "Erchen understands the severity. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "That's good. You went back and prepared. Pick a good time. Let you debate before the Emperor. ”

He Xi took a deep breath and smiled bitterly in his heart: "Level after level, thing after thing, once it starts, things will continue." However, "There was a trace of excitement in He Xi's heart. Especially a lecture in Guozijian before, which made him a new historian of the Ming Dynasty. If this time it is stronger again. In the Ming court, his place is unshakable.

This time, though, the stakes are high. Zhu Yuanzhang also intended to reserve some time for He Xi, and also for those Wenchen. Therefore, the preparation time for this sutra feast is relatively long.

Just when He Xi was carefully preparing for the sutra feast. Princess Anqing has arrived in Changzhou. It doesn't take much time from Nanjing to Changzhou, and as long as Tianning Temple is in Changzhou's mansion, it is impossible to find it. It's almost non-stop, and when the great monks of Tianning Temple want to pick up Princess Luan, they are still blind.
