In Zhejiang, Yan Song simply went to Wang Shouren's house for the New Year.

You look at me, you look at you, I look at you.

"Bo'an's doubts have been answered?" Yan Song asked with mixed feelings.

Wang Shouren was silent, and only after a long time did he let out a long sigh.

The impact is greater than the last time when I only knew the three principles of heaven, matter, and man.

He always thought that his method of conscience was a good way to govern learning, to behave in the world, to govern the country and the people, until he saw this dialectical way of thinking, as well as the specific way of doing things that analyzed contradictions.

These days, Wang Shouren is mired in a self-doubt that is difficult to put into words.

When Gewu Zhizhi was lonely, did he also realize a loneliness when he realized the Tao in the dragon field?

For those in science, this practice is just another big step forward in the direction of materialism.

For Wang Shouren, the Sect Master of Mind Studies, this was to smash the foundation of the Great Dao in his idealistic direction.

However, with Wang Shouren's ingenuity, he could not find a loophole in this doctrine for the time being.

With his rich experience over the years, with his academic skills, he really can't find anything wrong.

There are too many illustrations.

Just like the good and evil, selfish desires, and conscience at the level of human reason, whether it is the desire to destroy people, or the conscience, a person is always very complex and will change.

Some people will always get better, some people will become better and then worse, and some people will even change back and forth, and you can't always grasp what they really think in their hearts.

Doesn't this tie in with the dialectic's assertion that change is eternal?

From this practice and dialectics, Wang Shouren can see the traces of many of his own views, such as the unity of knowledge and action, and conscience.

Compared with the original science, Wang Shouren seems to have been closer to this new set of knowledge.

Is it because my foundation is in the direction of psychology, not science? Is this a proof that denial followed by denial, and not to imprison one's own thoughts?

"However, I have a feeling of discouragement."

Yan Song was taken aback: "Bo'an! Don't scare me! With your talent, it should be a sudden breakthrough! ”

Wang Shouren said a sentence in a tangled manner, and he was quite resentful: "Before I returned to my hometown, His Majesty also told me to give more lectures. I had just returned to my hometown, and after learning about the three principles of that day, things, and people, I had no intention of lecturing. Otherwise, wouldn't we be in a dilemma now? ”

He didn't know that because of his unity of knowledge and action and conscience, he later derived a school called "Shixue", which also left a strong mark in history.

So at the moment, Wang Shouren is indeed in a mixed mood: he has the judgment that this practice and dialectics is more rigorous, more reasonable, and more instructive than his view of the mind, and in many ways, he Wang Shouren may be the closest person to this new knowledge.

Returning to the framework of science is not to be regarded as a heretical end, but to enter the classroom and bring Confucianism into a new stage.

Of course, he would definitely not be able to go so far, so he asked Yan Song with some hesitation: "However, isn't this common sense of constant change also correspond to His Majesty's monarchy?" Why did Your Majesty ......?"

Yan Song only looked at Wang Shouren deeply.

Although he had a friendship, chatting with him Yan Song about such a sensitive topic can only show that Wang Shouren regards him as a close friend.

Yan Song was grateful, but he had his own way of life. He said earnestly: "Isn't this a proof of your majesty's great wisdom? The change of dynasties is recorded in history; The powerful ministers are domineering, and the monarchy is not powerful. Name and reality, Your Majesty can see clearly. Bo'an, have you forgotten that Your Majesty thinks that there are quantitative and qualitative changes in change? ”

Wang Shouren was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "But what I said is true." It can be seen from this that His Majesty is well-learned. However, is there really anyone in the world who is born to know? Your Majesty is ......"

He stopped again.

Yan Song immediately continued to say solemnly: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven!" Although this practical study emphasizes the principle of all things, the principle of heaven is above! Today, the vassal king has entered the unification, and in the year of the weak crown, there is a decision of the imperial study and the national policy meeting! After several twists and turns, Yang Ge is the leader of the new party, and he has the knowledge of today's practical learning, which is a clear proof of the son of heavenly principles! ”

Wang Shouren always felt weird.

On the one hand, practical science emphasizes that all things and even some things between human beings do not change due to people's hearts, and the sacredness of the Son of Heaven is not as strong as in science.

On the other hand, however, because it was the emperor who had come up with these studies and had already made these achievements, his own sacredness seemed to have become stronger.

Wang Shouren pondered for a moment and then said: "The world only thinks that Yang Ge Lao and others took advantage of the topic to play, and even invited His Majesty with new knowledge. From next year, the world will be in chaos. Although it seems to me that this practical study is not difficult, there are many people in the world who do not know its true meaning, and they will attack it in groups. ”

Yan Song bowed his hand: "I was about to borrow the power of Bo'an." Song is an old protégé of Yang Ge, and a new recruit promoted by His Majesty. Bo'an and Yang Ge have a gap in learning and science, and they were invited by His Majesty to board the scripture feast, enter the imperial study, and participate in the national policy. ”

“…… How can I help you? ”

Yan Song talked eloquently: "Zhejiang City has been abolished, and the gentry and wealthy households are at a loss. I want to make them pay their profits, so that I should make up for the shortage of profits in the market. I have asked for the establishment of the Emperor's Ming Semicolon in Zhejiang, but the imperial court has not yet decreed. ”

Wang Shouren pondered in his heart.

Does this mean that the new law has spread to Zhejiang? No, it's just doing business with Huang Mingji within the Ming Dynasty.

For Zhejiang, the meager tax from the city is gone. But for the wealthy gentry in Zhejiang, the dismissal of the city department has been a fatal event.

Now Yan Songjuan asked to set up the Huangming Score in Zhejiang, obviously to let many goods from Zhejiang go out of Guangdong through the Huangming Record.

In any case, it can be regarded as a new business opportunity for many gentry and wealthy households in Zhejiang. It is said that others do not appreciate it, and Yan Song's gesture of considering the local gentry and wealthy households in Zhejiang has been made.

Wang Shouren looked at him in surprise: "Divide and rule? ”

Yan Song smiled: "It's really not easy for me to do this now, isn't it?" ”

Wang Shouren sighed with emotion: "This is also a clear proof of Your Majesty's practical science and dialectics. Is it so powerful for the monarch and the ministers to work together? ”

What he said was that the people of the world were really led by the nose, and they had to be grateful to the imperialist party and the old party on the surface for helping them do something.

Yan Song also sighed with emotion: "If you work together, you will naturally be unfavorable." It's just that there will always be a day when the picture is exhausted in the future, and there will be an unpredictable twist and turn. Until then, you and I can only do our best. Now that there is His Majesty's practice of learning dialectics, Bo'an should be convinced, right? If you and I can participate in the grand event and recreate the prosperous world, won't this life be in vain? ”

Wang Shouren always felt that Yan Song had become more elusive since he re-emerged from seclusion in Jiangxi, and he was not sure that Yan Song's words at this time were true or false.

But for Wang Shouren, self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and level the world is still an unshakable belief.

He also didn't know how Yang Tinghe really felt now, but Wang Shouren did approve that Yang Tinghe had picked a great emperor.

The most important thing is that he is too young, and he doesn't know where he can go in the future and what he will change Daming into.

Thinking of this, Wang Shouren finally smiled: "But what I said is very true!" ”

It's about taking care of your body so that you can see more.

……

In the Forbidden City, Zhu Houxi looked at the Jinyi Wei and the inner factory as usual to submit the report to the palace according to the regulations.

The discussion of the so-called practice and dialectics of the scholars of the world did not surprise Zhu Houxi.

There are those who can't accept it at all, and there are those who can't figure it out.

But because it was nominally the emperor's scholarly viewpoint, there were very few who came out of nominal prowess—perhaps, on the way, but it must have been some strong people who were fully prepared.

Because they were coerced into the new law, most people's spearheads were aimed at Yang Tinghe.

Zhu Houxi made a sad expression for the party leader.

Maybe it was Yang Ting who did a lot of evil in his previous life, so he met him this time.

Of course, Zhu Houxi will give him a very special coolness.

In this era of supremacy of imperial power, except for the emperor himself, the most special happiness that others can gain is that no matter how blind they toss, they can always get the protection and support of the emperor in the end.

As long as he does not go against the will of the emperor.

Therefore, although Wei Bin, Wang Qiong and others were not clean in the past, they are now willing and grateful for the emperor's arrangement.

In their hearts, they are real Mingjun.

It's a refreshing feeling of being in control of the choice, just like Zhu Houxi now has a choice every night.

Today, he chose to go to Chang'an Palace.

Zhu Zaiyu, who was just over half a year old, was babbling, which made Lin Qingping and Empress Dowager Jiang very happy: This is a sign of intelligence.

The child was taken to sleep, and Lin Qingping snuggled up to him more contentmently.

With her age, if it was because the emperor attached great importance to the "national capital" issue before, then now she has so many choices, but she still does not forget the old feelings, and is willing to treat her and so many young and beautiful concubines the same or even pay more attention to two or three points, which Lin Qingping did not dare to hope for before.

"I'm afraid you don't quite understand how much you've helped me."

By Zhu Houxi's side, only this well-informed and calm and obedient big sister enjoys.

Now, Lin Qingping, who has given birth, is even more abundant. After having a different identity, her treatment in the palace is not the same.

Hearing Zhu Houxi's words, Lin Qingping asked a little puzzled: "Concubine...... I didn't do anything. ”

"All your thoughts are on the child?" Zhu Houxi smiled and put his arm around her waist, and said with some nostalgia, "Forgot the days when you and I studied the scriptures together?" ”

“…… The concubines are just looking for chapters and excerpts according to His Majesty's request. ”

Zhu Houxi pursed his lips slightly.

It seems simple, but it's actually very tiring.

Why was it so difficult for the ancients to do learning? Because there is no such technical means as search queries that you are familiar with. How profound your knowledge is depends on how many books you have collected or how much you have memorized.

When people quote scriptures, they really quote scriptures from their own heads.

Zhu Houxi has the advantage of having people obey his orders unconditionally, and second, he has the advantage of having a more scientific academic research methodology in the future.

The most important thing is that he borrowed the content of science and mind, and incorporated into it the philosophical ideas that have been tested in later generations. In this process, of course, Lin Qingping's help is inseparable, and what is even more invincible is the rigor and advanced nature of those ideas.

In the final analysis, philosophy is the study of understanding the world and human beings themselves. When it comes to these two themes, the outstanding geniuses of this era in the middle of the game are bound by many constraints.

There is another advantage to being an emperor: he can only bring it up, but he doesn't have to go out to argue in person.

With the big event of changing the law, Yang Ting and these new parties will naturally go down to the stage to debate.

If they can't argue for a while, there is also the "collective wisdom" at the national policy meeting.

After nearly three years, Zhu Houxi believes that he has initially achieved the goal of the stage.

So now the mood is to enjoy.

Enjoying the affection of Concubine Xian because of her undiminished love, enjoying the sense of security that the general trend is holding, and enjoying the sense of accomplishment that he is changing this era bit by bit.

It wasn't until Fei Hong came to impeach Yang Tinghe that he was not subordinate, and until Wang Shouren asked for something other than learning through the first round of the secret box: he spoke out for the Zhejiang gentry, saying that the dismissal of the city was widely implicated, and seconded Yan Song's request to set up an imperial and Ming semicolon in Zhejiang, so that the rich Zhejiang gentry could continue to do business.

It wasn't until under the drums of Dengwen outside the noon gate that a corpse was found before the 15th National Congress of the first lunar month, and the corpse had a letter hidden in its arms.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu put the drums outside the noon gate, and was supervised by a person who supervised the imperial history. “

After moving to the right gate of Chang'an, the six sections took turns on duty with the Jinyi guards to accept the drumming complaints.

The "Daming Huidian" contains: "Anyone who is wronged according to the judge, judges who are unfair and lawless, etc., is allowed to go to the patrol to supervise the imperial history office to express grievances."

In the twenty-third year of Hongwu, an edict was issued, allowing a response to injustice and other matters, and the court sent a supervisor to inspect the imperial history to inquire about it. However, if the drumming complaint is untrue, the rod will be 100 rods, and the serious case will be punished severely. At the same time, it is stipulated that drums should not be beaten in cases of household marriages and brawls, otherwise they will be severely punished.

But this time it was not an ordinary beating of the drum to complain about grievances, but a corpse admonition.

Since ancient times, there have been corpses after the death of old people, such as Chief Shi, the doctor of the Spring and Autumn Period. There are those who have the heart of death, such as Hai Rui, who has not yet appeared at this time.

The real corpse admonition is only once in history.

It happened in the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu.

Qing Wensheng, the word quality husband, Kuizhou people. Shi is the history of Longyang. Longyang is on the verge of Dongting, suffering from floods every year, endowing hundreds of thousands, knocking on the dead. Wen Sheng was indignant and asked for the people's lives. No matter what they do, they won't report it. sighed: "What face to see my father!" Compound sparse, hit the drum to advance, and then hang himself under the drum.

Now, the second real corpse admonition in history has happened, or in the Ming Dynasty.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the three years of Jiajing, which was still in the midst of festival and joy, were overshadowed at the beginning.

The faces of the whole party were heavy, and they looked at the letter that had been presented to the emperor and had been taken from the arms of the deceased.

In the second year of Jiajing, Li Xiang, a new science and technology jinshi in Xinhui County, Guangzhou Prefecture, Guangdong.

In the first year when he had just entered high school and was beginning to take off in his life, he chose to isolate himself from Dengwen and leave a note.

Many people don't know what was written in that letter, but whatever it is, it will certainly be something that will be written in history.

The last time the corpse was admonished, it was just a clerk. This time, it's a jinshi.

Because Li Xiang was born in Guangdong, because the new law in Guangdong and the new knowledge that had just come out a few years ago, because the real corpse admonition contained in the Qing history only happened in the Ming Dynasty, no one dared to be optimistic and speculate about the subsequent changes.

Their apprehensive eyes all looked at the throne, looking at the emperor who was eighteen years old this year.

He killed Guangdong Juzi with his own hands!
