"All the sons of the hundred schools, do they really have their own strengths?" Zhu Di was interested and asked.

Xie Jin's forehead was already sweating...... At any time, even for Xu Jingchang's sake, he can't be ambiguous on this issue.

But unfortunately, today he does not have the courage and does not dare to have!

"Your Majesty, the courtiers are shallow in their learning, and if their words are inappropriate, I hope to forgive their sins...... Confucius once asked Lao Tzu for advice, at least not to belittle all knowledge outside of Confucianism. ”

Confucius once studied Lao Tzu, which no one can deny.

Saying that Lao Tzu can't do it, isn't that tantamount to deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors!

Zhu Di nodded, and did not continue to be embarrassed, a great talent, being able to say this is enough against the sky. I can't tell how I will be despised by my colleagues!

Zhu Di didn't want to embarrass him, but said to everyone: "You all tell me, are you considered a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, a disciple of Confucianism, is there any Nishan Hongru Society?" ”

When it comes to this, who dares to admit it?

Seeing that the ministers were silent, Zhu Di was in a good mood, returned to the dragon chair, and said with a smile: "Since you say that, all the schools of thought have merits, and how should I govern the world?" ”

This sentence almost shakes the status of Confucian official learning.

The ministers' faces were solemn, like mourning.

A non-existent Nishan Hongru will take them, full of truths, all can't be said, if His Majesty really changes the official school on a whim, it will be endless troubles!

At this moment, it was still the official of the Ministry of Justice, he took a step forward, suddenly fell to his knees, kowtowed, and then took off the crown on his head and put it aside.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a few words, and he wants to risk his death."

Zhu Di said with a smile: "Jian Shangshu, you are loyal to state affairs, I know, there is no need to be like this, you just have to say it." ”

Jian Yi kowtowed again, "Your Majesty, the study of the sons of the Princes, of course, has merit, but there are hundreds of schools, there are thousands of families!" The Ming Dynasty had a population of 60 million, and it had 60 million hearts...... If a hundred flowers are allowed to bloom, people's minds will change and the world will be in chaos. It's out of control. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, it was this thought. At that time, Han Confucianism was no longer the Confucianism of Confucius and Mencius. To this day, Cheng Zhu Lixue is my Ming official school. Cheng Zhu is eclectic, accommodating hundreds of schools of thought and learning from others. As an official school, it has not abandoned the problem of a hundred schools, on the contrary, it can also gather people's hearts and stabilize the world. ”

I have to say that as the head of the civil officials, Jian Yi is qualified and clever.

He said two problems, one is that Confucianism at this moment is different from that of Confucius and Mencius, and is compatible with the strengths of a hundred schools, so it is not appropriate to advocate a hundred schools of thought.

Second, if there are really hundreds of schools of thought contending and people's hearts are floating, such a big Ming Dynasty, people's hearts are different, and they are messy, and they can't be cleaned up.

These two items are from Zhu Di's standpoint, which touched Zhu Di at once, and let the Son of Heaven do things more than half of his heart.

Seeing Zhu Di fall into deep thought, Jian Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to relax completely, after all, there was a vicious tiger next to him!

"Jian Tianguan, if I understand correctly...... Do you still support the way of Confucius and Mencius? Xu Jingchang asked.

Jian Yi snorted: "Indeed, if Dingguo Gong wants to say that this official is also a member of the Nishan Hongru Association, I will also admit it...... After all, I have been on public affairs with Dingguo for a long time, and I have also been recommended by Ling Zun. Speaking of which, your Xu family is more suitable to become a member of the Nishan Hongru Association. ”

As soon as his words came out, everyone was stunned.

Xia Yuanji hurriedly stepped forward, "That's right, Dingguo Gong is young, and he has wonderful ideas and surprises, could it be that he is really a member of the Nishan Hongru Society?" Just like Wang Mang back then? ”

Xu Jingchang looked at Xia Yuanji fiercely...... Old puppet, do you want to harm me?

Xia Yuanji didn't care, "Dingguo Gong, I just mean such groundless speculation, it will only endanger everyone, no one can escape, and it will not be half beneficial to the court situation." Really for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, it is better to issue a strict order as soon as possible, not to discuss, not to circulate articles and newspapers at will, and after seeing it, immediately destroy it and severely punish it. ”

As soon as Lao Xia finished speaking, Liu Jun, Zheng Ci, Guo Zi, and the rest of the important ministers stood up to second.

For a while, Xu Jingchang became a loner again.

watched the play and became the protagonist, and ate melons on himself...... Jian Yi did not hesitate to tell Xu Zengshou about recommending him, and pulled Xu Jingchang into the water, so that everyone could be Nishan Hongru.

In this way, the situation changed suddenly.

Xu Jingchang was also a little embarrassed.

Who told you to always dig a pit, bury yourself this time!

If we have the ability, let's hurt each other!

Xu Jingchang quickly regained his composure and said with a smile: "I said that I don't believe in any Nishan Hongru Society, let alone a member of the Nishan Hongru Association, but I want to ask the princes, why do the people see it this way?" So much gossip? All kinds of claims, too many to count? The affairs of all dynasties and dynasties all come down to the Nishan Hongru Conference, what is going on? ”

What's going on?

It's clear that you're behind the scenes, making waves!

Xu Jingchang said unhurriedly: "Don't look at me, big guy, the people will believe these things, and they are inseparable from the actions of the corporal in the world." The courtiers colluded with each other, and when they encountered something, they opposed it together, such as levying commercial taxes, freeing slaves, building outer cities, and setting up schools...... If no one is instigating behind the scenes, how can there be a thousand people and ten thousand people with one heart? ”

Xu Jingchang's question awakened Zhu Di's instinct again...... He is interested in the Nishan Hongru Society, but only because the courtiers keep obstructing all kinds of government affairs, people have to suspect that behind them, there is an invisible hand that controls everything.

The so-called Nishan Hongru Club just satisfies the fantasies of the big guys.

"Dingguo Gong, aren't you still indignant about the things ahead of you when you say this?" Jian Yi said: "The courtiers have concerns and don't like to be different, is it wrong?" So far, I'm afraid that you need to introspect yourself. ”

Xu Jingchang snorted: "Jian Tianguan, you said so, then I want to ask you, in your heart, Confucianism is heavier, or is the Ming Dynasty heavier?" ”

Xu Jingchang asked a soul similar to your girlfriend and mother falling into the river at the same time, which one do you want to save.

Jian Yi said coldly: "I am a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and I am naturally dedicated to the country by His Majesty's grace, and I dare not be disloyal!" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled: "Since you say so, is Daming more important?" ”

"The Ming Dynasty is inseparable from Confucianism!" Jian Yi roared.

"That's a good thing, but can the Ming Dynasty only have Confucianism?" Xu Jingchang kicked the ball back again.

Jian Yi said politely: "Speaking of which, do you still want to talk about the contention of a hundred schools?" I've already said it, thousands of people and thousands of faces, and the Ming Dynasty can't be chaotic! ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Thousands of people and thousands of faces, of course, it is good...... But if all the scholars in the world respect the way of Confucius and Mencius, where is Your Majesty? ”

"Your Majesty is the monarch's father, the head of heaven and earth!"

"But the outline is often determined by the so-called sages, and it is explained by Confucian scholars, not by Your Majesty!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di on the dragon chair suddenly opened his eyes wide and thoughtfully.

……

Xu Jingchang and Jian Yi went toe-to-toe, neither side was polite, and these few words also made things clear.

During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism.

That is, after the first emperor unified the world in terms of territory, he unified the world ideologically and achieved the real unification.

But the two Han Dynasty, Sui and Tang Dynasties developed all the way.

At this time, Confucianism was no longer the same as that of the Western Han Dynasty.

Confucian scholars and doctors have their own interests orientation, and they are far from being those scholars of the Han and Tang dynasties.

The poets of the Tang Dynasty all shouted to go to the border to kill the enemy and carry the jade dragon to die for the king.

But in the Song Dynasty, it became a matter of sending you to death, and the credit belongs to me...... Scholars and doctors, the distinction between the country and the family is very clear.

How to put Da Ming aside, to keep their family power, is the premise of everything.

Home Country Country ......

Who's in front and who's behind, that's the question!

And it's the core issue.

In this world, who has the final say!

Zhu Di took a deep breath, "Retreat!" ”

The courtiers were just about to thank him and leave, but Zhu Di added: "The officials are Jianyi, the household department Xia Yuanji, and the Dingguo Duke Xu Jingchang, the three of you stay." ”

The three people whose names were called were shocked, and they could only nod yes.

The time was also approaching noon, and Zhu Di was quite considerate and prepared lunch for the three of them.

"Don't go hungry, we'll talk about it when you're full."

Among the three people, only Xu Jingchang has a good appetite and eats seven points full, and the other two are just to deal with it casually, and they are not in the mood to eat more at all.

Jian Yi pondered for a while, what he said today had a very serious loophole, but in order to get rid of the Nishan Hongru Society, he had no choice.

No matter how high Confucianism praises the Son of Heaven and calls him by the monarch's father, in the final analysis, this is given to the emperor by Confucianism, not by the emperor himself......

With Zhu Di's wisdom, he will not be unable to understand.

After a meal, Zhu Di smiled and asked the three of them to sit down.

"Jian Shangshu and Xia Shangshu are my right-hand men, and as for the Duke of Dingguo, they are also the courtiers I rely on...... I see you as a humerus. ”

The Son of Heaven regards the courtiers as the humerus, and the courtiers must regard the Son of Heaven as their hearts.

Jian Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is grateful, and the minister is grateful. ”

Zhu Di said again: "Jian Shangshu, can't I change it?" ”

Jian Yi shook his head helplessly, "With the talent and knowledge of the minister, I dare to implore Your Majesty that you must not shake the foundation of Confucianism." ”

Xia Yuanji also hurriedly said: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Zhu Di groaned for a while, and Xu Jingchang actually followed: "The minister also seconded the proposal!" ”

Zhu Di snorted angrily: "What are you making a fuss about?" ”

Xu Jingchang said: "The minister also thinks that the foundation of Confucianism cannot be shaken...... It's just that the minister thinks that he can make the Ming Dynasty a little more and the Confucianism a little less. ”

Zhu Di was puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”

"Your Majesty, although Confucianism is very important, it cannot be above the Ming Dynasty." Xu Jingchang said: "The minister's Xu family is at most retired with the country, but there is a family that has gone through dozens of dynasties and stands unshakable. What they represent, in the hearts of some people, is far more important than the Ming Dynasty, how can Your Majesty not guard against it? ”
