Chapter 66: The Death of Fang Xiaoru

Who is Fang Xiaoru?

He is the leader of the literary world, the great master of Confucianism, and the sect of learning in the world. He used He Xi's method, didn't he admit that in the way of governing the country, Confucianism was inferior to Xinxue. This is absolutely not possible.

He can die, but he can't admit defeat.

He was convinced when he lost to He Xi, but he couldn't admit defeat instead of Confucianism, he always felt that He Xi's doctrine was too utilitarian, no benevolence, too lawless, and no fear. Too cold and untouched.

Treat everything as a machine, and see people as part of a machine.

This is not the Confucian way. It's not the future that people in the world should have.

He can't do it, it's not that he can't do it, it's not that Confucianism can't do it. It's just that he can't bring forth the new on the basis of the sages of the past dynasties, and let He Xi change the evil and return to the right.

So, it's okay for him to die. But there are some things that can't be done.

This is the benevolence of Fang Xiaoru's benevolence.

It's just that Ding Xian was very happy to hear this sentence. The sentence "Seek benevolence and get benevolence" is there, doesn't it mean that Fang Xiaoru has no intention of admitting his mistake when he arrives. If he wants to admit his mistake, Ding Xian will not be able to do it. After all, Fang Xiaoru admitted his mistake, and if he didn't convey it, he wouldn't intercede for him. It doesn't seem to match the character I just set up.。 It's good now. These four words were conveyed to the emperor. The emperor only hated not killing him earlier....

Ding Xian sighed and said, "When is it? Also say this. If I were you, I would write a confession and ask your majesty for forgiveness, and perhaps I would be able to grant mercy beyond the law."

Fang Xiaoru figured it out at the moment. said, "It doesn't matter, in the position of Shousuke, I have done enough things against my will. Now that he is no longer the first assistant, he doesn't have to take care of the overall situation. Besides, I wrote this thing, is it really useful?"

Fang Xiaoru calmed down, but figured it out. He didn't completely see through Ding Xian's play, but he understood that Ding Xian was not the kind of person who was wholeheartedly good for him. Nothing more than wanting to get some political capital out of him.

Thinking about this, he didn't want to say anything to Ding Xian.

Any doctrine must face the question of life and death, and Confucianism is the same. Confucianism is very calm about life and death. For Fang Xiaoru, the matter of life and death is just a matter of adaptation. It is false to say that you are not afraid of death. But since the matter is already a foregone conclusion, I accept it calmly.

will not be afraid of death because of greed for life, but will leave a stain on his life.

He knows who Ding Xian is. If it were someone else, he didn't mind leaving anything behind, whether it was knowledge or connections. Anyway, when people die, everything is gone. But for Ding Xian, forget it.

Ding Xian said, "What do you have to say to your family?"

Fang Xiaoru was silent for a while, and then said, "The explanations I gave to my family are all in the sage books. There's nothing to say at the moment. It is better to give a daughter than to leave a child. What should be taught to them has already been taught, and if they can't learn, they will have to learn on their own."

Ding Xian was silent. At this time, he was also a little ashamed of himself.

Put himself in his shoes, if he arrived today, he would never be as free and calm as Fang Xiaoru.

Even in the end, what he cared about was not the family property, but the son's knowledge.

However, this kind of self-shame is only for a moment, and it does not exist.

For Ding Xian, just look at such a person. Emulate something. It's simply impossible. It's stupid.

------

As Ding Xian expected, Ding Xian passed the phrase "seeking benevolence and getting benevolence" to Zhu Yunwen through secret channels. Zhu Yunwen dropped a plate. So the process of the imperial court advanced.

Fang Xiaoru was pressed to the execution ground. Also pressed to the execution ground were Fang Xiaoru's two sons. Naturally, the Ten Clans were not killed. But following Fang Xiaoru's hardcore ministers, there were also several who died together. For a time, the imperial court was empty.

As for the officials who did not go to the execution ground, there were even more officials who were exiled and dismissed from prison.

For a time, everyone in the court was in danger.

Ding Xian officially replaced Fang Xiaoru as the first assistant.

The news reached the Duke of Cao Guo's mansion, Yao Guangxiao

After hearing this, he was silent for a long time, and said to Li Jinglong: "From now on, the world is in the north, does Cao Guogong think there will be other variables in this world?"

Li Jinglong was also silent.

Zhu Yunwen is still too far away from the bottom, and he doesn't know Fang Xiaoru's influence.

Fang Xiaoru does not represent himself. It is a scholarly power that has been passed down from Song Lian to Fang Xiaoru for more than 30 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Don't say anything else. Speaking of Li Jinglong alone, his father Li Wenzhong was also taught under Song Lian.

Speaking of which, he also has something to do with Fang Xiaoru. It's okay to call Fang Xiaoru an uncle. It's just that Wenwu Shutu is too close, and it's not good for anyone, and he, Uncle Fang, is a square person. Won't engage in any private hookups.

If you get close to Fang Xiaoru, it won't do any good.

Because Fang Xiaoru will not show favoritism. On the contrary, it is very likely that he really thinks that Li Jinglong is his nephew, but he is strict.

Li Jinglong, such a realistic person, how could he not stay away from this uncle.

But respectful and far away, respectful and far away. Even Li Jinglong hated Fang Xiaoru a little. But people still know the good and the bad. Fang Xiaoru is morally unblemished. Although there are many things below, it is not Fang Xiaoru's fault.

It's too much to kill Fang Xiaoru like this.

Li Jinglong muttered in his heart, he didn't expect Zhu Yunwen to be so ruthless.

Not to mention, so many doctors. They have read the books of Song Lian and Fang Xiaoru since they were children, and the articles have come to this day step by step. Song Lian and Fang Xiaoru were to them what Lu Xun and other great writers were to people at that time.

The other party has always been highly respected. Even in the hearts of many people, He Xi appeared as a negative teaching material in the debate with Fang Xiaoru.

Such a person will be killed when he says he will be killed.

Where should the world's scholars go? Many people don't understand this.

This is one of the reasons why in history, Yao Guangxiao said to Zhu Di that Fang Xiaoru is a seed of reading and must not be killed. What's more, Fang Xiaoru in history is not as influential as Fang Xiaoru today. After all, Fang Xiaoru in history only returned to Beijing in the 28th year of Hongwu. Now Fang Xiaoru has been the minister of Beijing Bingzheng.

If it is said that the status of Fang Xiaoru in history comes from Song Lian and his own articles. Now Song Lian and Fang Xiaoru's article is more of the icing on the cake, because Fang Xiaoru is doing things in the imperial court, especially the reopening of the imperial examination, and the various behaviors of giving preferential treatment to scholars, he is already a model in the world.

His death.

It seems simple, but in reality, it is not simple.

There is always inertia in people's hearts. For example, although it is said that He Xi is better than Fang Xiaoru in many aspects academically. But in the eyes of many readers, He Xi is inferior to Fang Xiaoru. But many people actually admit it. Even if He Xi is not as good as Fang Xiaoru, he is also a university scholar, but as Fang Xiaoru commented. He Xi's learning is not pure, it is not the right way of holy learning.

But no matter what, He Xi is also on a par with Fang Xiaoru.

Now Fang Xiaoru has ended up like this. Moreover, what Ding Xian wanted to do was to emulate some of He Xi's reforms in order to increase the financial resources of the Nanjing court.

So here's the problem?

Now that the policies of Beijing and Nanjing have converged. So why didn't these scholars vote for Beijing, but for Nanjing?

What kind of person is He Xi? Everybody knows. Although Nanjing has been pouring dirty water on He Xi. But what He Xi has done over the years cannot be erased.

Even if you hate He Xi, you have to admit that He Xi is a peerless warrior in the country and a genius who has made achievements everywhere. Apart from the fact that the army was raised to seize the throne, there was no other stain. And who is Ding Xian? It's just a deception and extermination.

Since it's all the same, why do they support Ding Xian?

Not to mention that Nanjing also killed Fang Xiaoru, which drew the hatred of all the scholars in the world.

This is what Yao Guangxiao said, the context of the world is in the north.

Zhu Yunwen is a sage reader, and he has received the most traditional classical education since he was a child, but he is not a scholar in essence. Something is him

A predestined incomprehensible existence.

He Xi and Fang Xiaoru have been fighting for decades, but they never expected that the victory and defeat would be separated in today's situation.

Since then, it has been a foregone conclusion that the way of governing the world will be biased towards new learning.
