Chapter 406: Qin Huai Enlightenment
Why is Zhu Laowu so angry?
As the saying goes, cause and effect. Everything has to start from the day when Fang Xiaoru, a "great talent", worshiped Zhu Su as a teacher.
Let's say that this Fang Xiaoru is a literati talent, and he is also a proud protégé of the great Confucian Song Lian. Who is Song Lian? A few years ago, he received the imperial order to teach the prince and the princes to study the scriptures, whether it is fame, prestige, or learning, he is a first-class Confucian in the scholars.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, Song Lian will be the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he is the first Wenzong of the Ming Dynasty.
As Song Lian's beloved disciple, Fang Xiaoru is naturally also praised by the stars and is a figure who has been noticed by many students. Such a figure actually worshipped Zhu Su, the fifth son of the emperor, as a teacher, and was in Yingtianshilin at that time, causing an uproar.
However, the turmoil actually subsided after a few months. After all, the poetry of the Fifth Highness is gorgeous, and poems such as "Linjiang Immortal" are indeed unmatched. As the so-called threesome must have my teacher, Fang Dacai's apprenticeship and learning poetry from his son is not a good story.
However, the words of the poems are just a pastime, and the real avenue has to be the scriptures. As for the Jingyi Kung Fu of the Fifth Highness......
Those few sentences of "Words" were once rumored to be a joke in Yingtian, and no one thought that Fang Xiaoru could learn from Zhu Su what real talents and real learning.
They didn't know that although Fang Xiaoru did learn poetry at the beginning, he was soon diverted by Zhu Su with some small scientific experiments. If it is said that originally, Fang Xiaoru still has a little contempt for Zhu Su's ability in his heart. Then after seeing the power of science, he quickly regarded this little highness as a real talent.
However, he also had doubts. When Zhu Su was teaching science, he once uttered the words "learning from things": that is, through bold assumptions, careful verification, looking at the contradictions of affairs with a scientific vision, and seeking the truth of things through continuous experiments.
Gewu is a Confucian concept, why is the so-called "Gewu Zhizhi" so different from Zhu Xi's sage's "Gewu Poor Reason"?
With the continuous study of science, Fang Xiaoru's doubts also increased. The sages once said that "the sky is round and the earth is round", but His Highness said that the earth under your feet is round, not square; The sages once said that "the principle of things is poor", one law is the same as all laws, starting from one thing, you can naturally know the principle of all things in the world. Why did His Highness the Fifth Highness say that there are thousands of ways to science, and that we must seek truth from facts, and we cannot simply use "philosophical" principles to speculate on scientific issues?
With this doubt about the ancestors, Fang Xiaoru continued to study with the intention of criticizing Zhu Su. However, he soon discovered that the scientific method of latticing objects was almost irrefutable. The Fifth Highness is right, it is the sages who are wrong!
Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Fang Xiaoru's "Confucian heart" has not yet been solidified. It was completely split.
It doesn't hurt if that's all, but Fang Xiaoru is a Confucian disciple after all, and he is more just curious about the practical study of "science". On the contrary, for the "philosophy" that His Royal Highness said in the mouth, Fang Xiaoru expressed great interest!
Confucianism is a study of people's hearts and principles, and it can also be called a kind of "philosophy". If what the sages said is false, then what should be the true philosophy?
Faced with Fang Xiaoru's entanglement, Zhu Su was annoyed. There is such a thing as philosophy, and he can't say why.
Moreover, the "philosophy" that Fang Xiaoru wants to know is a kind of statecraft that is biased towards Confucianism, what is the statecraft of later generations? Could it be that he could teach communism?
However, even if he rejected Fang Xiaoru, he didn't listen, and Zhu Su could only prevaricate some of the Yangming psychology, Western philosophy, and even chicken soup for the soul that he knew, all kinds of unfathomable sentences that he could remember.
What is "nothing outside the mind", "everyone can be a sage", "the development of matter is a process of constant struggle and continuous development of contradictions"......
All sorts of things were thrown to him.
So, Fang Xiaoru was stunned.
After Zhu Su left, Fang Xiaoru locked himself in his room and began to figure out these classic "scriptures" from later generations one by one. In fact, many of these philosophical things are contradictory in themselves, after all, some are materialistic and some are idealistic, and in any case, they cannot be self-consistent.
But it seems that they are all so reasonable and can withstand deep investigation......
The more Fang Xiaoru studied, the more confused he became; The more confused I became, the more I felt that it was profound; The more advanced I felt, the more I wanted to study......
The logic closes the loop and belongs to the yes.
Fang Xiaoru forgot to sleep and eat, only to feel that he was really confused before, although he touched the threshold of the avenue this time, he was never able to take a step forward. A few months later, a good friend saw that he was unkempt, so he dragged him to go boating on the Qinhuai River to relax, and met a few students, who were on the boat in front of the Oiran prostitute, and loudly discussed Zhu Zi's learning.
The people listened to it as if they were drinking wine; Fang Xiaoru listened to it, like chewing cow dung!
So the angry Fang Xiaoru immediately got up and loudly scolded these students for not learning the right way. At that time, most of the people who read the world were people who studied Zhuzi's articles, and when they heard this son's rebellious words, how could they not be angry?
So Fang Xiaoru fought on the Qinhuai River. His set of theories is not self-consistent at all, but he can't help but make every sentence very reasonable, and he can find out the philosophical views that contradict each sentence of the "sages".
The two sides are arguing with each other, but no one can help the other.
In the end, the more and more Confucian scholars gathered no longer quoted the teachings of the sages, and directly attacked Fang Xiaoru himself, saying that what he said was inconsistent and that he had entered the evil way. There are also people who bitterly persuade Fang Xiaoru, who was once the first talent, to quickly admit his mistakes and apologize to the sages, and should not desecrate the sage's article.
Who knew that Fang Xiaoru at this time had already fallen into the magic barrier of cognition, and when he saw so many people opening their mouths to be saints and sages with their mouths closed, they were so blessed that they came up with a "truth".
"There is no holy way, how can there be a saint!"
Seeing so many vulgar people who only knew how to repeat the words of the sages and sages, but refused to think about it themselves, Fang Xiaoru shouted these eight words loudly. It expresses his disdain for the so-called learning of the sages and the words of the sages and his contempt for all those who read today.
Qin Huai realized that Cixi was going to go to war with the world.
Seeing that Fang Xiaoru actually denied the entire Confucianism, all the Confucian scholars were stunned, and then Fang Xiaoru also fell into the verbal criticism of all Confucian students.
Everyone said that Fang Xiaoru had been taught to go crazy, and even with Zhu Su, the "culprit who brought a good seedling", he was also accused by Ying Tianshilin.
Fang Xiaoru was not afraid, and even made a big show in Yingtian City, debating with Confucian scholars several times, and did not shy away from preaching "philosophy", and always insisted on the inconsistencies that he had realized because he had not learned enough profoundly.
When our master returns, he will definitely be able to completely refute all the echo insects of Zhuzi and other Zhuzi to the ground!
"What the hell is this...... Sure enough, Jianwen is three stupid, Shi Shucheng doesn't deceive me! ”
Zhu Su, who learned about this from Zhu Biao, was dumbfounded!
I'm still worried about whether I will smash the porridge and rice in the Confucian bowl, this guy has already lifted the entire Confucian pot in the name of his disciple!
What is this? The pit master is a rebel!
