In fact, this question is not something that no one has ever thought of. After all, there are many schools of Confucianism, starting with the theory of sexual goodness and sexual evil in the pre-Qin period; to the Han Dynasty by the time of the leftists, and the Ram faction; and then to the future Ming Dynasty's science and mind controversy. The controversy over Confucianism has never ceased in history.

After so many years of controversy, the thin Analects and the annotations of many schools of Confucianism have long deviated from the original intention of Confucius. It is common to look at the text and take it out of context. is to pick out one or two words at random, and those "great Confucians" can shake their heads at this one word, and say it for so many days and nights. It is as if Confucius's scheming is thousands of weights, and every time he says a word, it must imply thousands of layers of meaning.

Even if Confucius was resurrected, he would inevitably be dumbfounded and at a loss when he saw and heard these commentaries on the Analects by these disciples and grandchildren.

Just like the authors who read and comprehended the original text in the later Chinese test papers, they saw what the teacher's answer analyzed: "What kind of meaning does a certain sentence of the author imply". The standard answer is not necessarily what the original author wants to express, and it is often just far-fetched by the teacher.

Over-interpretation, nothing more than that.

This truth is tacitly understood by the people who read the world. So why are these so-called Confucian schools still so popular? It is nothing more than using the old bottle of Confucianism to fill their own new wine.

The new wine is mellow and looks bright, so it is admired.

To put it more bluntly, "new wine" stands for a certain class and strives for the interests of a certain class, so it will naturally be able to be supported and respected by people in this class.

For example, science serves the imperial class, preaches "righteousness" and "legal unity", and asks the people of the world to "preserve the principles of heaven and destroy people's desires". The rule of the emperor is the principle of heaven, and the injustice in the heart is the desire of people. If you can practice science, then the emperor is born with great righteousness, and those who do not respect the king are thieves no matter what their intentions are. Women worship men, men worship kings, and everyone doesn't think about anything, they are all honestly bullied, and they are honestly for the powerful. The world has been unchanged from generation to generation, and the rule of natural emperors will be for thousands of generations.

This set of theories is inherently used to fool the people. It can be popular because in history, the emperors of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties all needed this set of theories to put a layer of shackles on the people of the world. It is a platform for the scholar class, and it can be promoted by the emperor, so it is the most widely spread and the most accepted by the scholar class.

After the great prosperity of science, there was a subtle change from generation to generation, so the scholars have long equated the science of today's great practice with orthodox Confucianism.

Those who doubt science are those who doubt Confucianism. Those who doubt Confucianism are naturally demons. In this way, these people who are mentally shackled will not think about whether there is any fallacy in the science itself.

In fact, this is the way the world is, as long as you get used to the shackles, you often don't realize that you are actually trapped in it.

After all, most of the people of my generation are actually mediocre, and not everyone can realize the Tao in the dragon field, get rid of the shackles of thought, and become a sage.

Song Lian is a man of insight, and a lot of knowledge is in his chest. But when it comes to cultivation and vision, he is far from reaching the realm of the Ming sage in later generations. But Zhu Su's suggestion undoubtedly broke through a little bit of the confinement imposed on him by science: yes, those philosophies are heresies, why is science absolutely correct?

Since it is correct, why did the Great Song Dynasty, who pursued science, fall into such a situation?

Confucianism is naturally infallible, but it can be learned, but it is not equal to Confucianism!

He only felt that countless thoughts were beating his mind like the tide of money ponds he had ever seen. This feeling of excitement had never been felt before except when he first read the Analects as a child. This made him tremble with excitement, and he concentrated on capturing the flashing thoughts, for fear of missing the slightest inspiration.

Things in the world are sometimes just a piece of window paper, and after this window paper is pierced, it can often be suddenly revealed. Now he peels back the science, and even peels off many Confucian schools layer by layer, and then looks at the subtle words of Confucius and Mengsheng, every time he peels back a layer, he will have many feelings that he has never had before. Song Lian didn't expect that when he was old enough, he would have such an epiphany.

"Chaowen said, you can die at night! I didn't expect that the old minister was already so old that he could go to the next level! Song Lian said happily. The Fifth Highness is really not ordinary! And be worshiped by the old minister! After speaking, he trembled and wanted to bow to Zhu Su.

"Master Song, don't do it!" Zhu Su was startled, and quickly used all his strength to help Song Lian up.

Song Lian is a great Confucian in the world, and he has also been his own teacher. If the news of him kneeling down to worship himself spreads, not to mention a layer of hatred, Queen Ma, who requires the children to respect their teachers, knows about it, and I am afraid that she will also call Lao Zhu together and give herself a mixed doubles.

He didn't know what Song Lian had realized, in fact, he just tried his best to make clever words and pull the scope of Fang Xiaoru's target from "Confucianism" to a relatively small "science".

Confucianism is a tiger butt that can never be touched, but science is just a ghost relying on imperial power. Lao Zhu has already learned from the lessons of later generations what the Ming Dynasty will become in the future, and this ghost will not continue to have the soil for the tiger in the Ming Dynasty.

Although it was very helpless to be driven by Fang Xiaoru to put the duck on the shelf, if he was just a pioneer in burial science, he Zhu Su was still willing to do it.

"The old minister has another question." Seeing that he insisted on helping himself up, Song Lian no longer insisted. He thought about it for a while, and also asked Zhu Su a question, and his tone was no longer as good as before:

"Why did Your Highness tell Yu Xizhi of those remarks?"

"Aren't those remarks in Xizhi's mouth the 'truth' that His Highness really believes? Forgive the old minister's bluntness, there are many contradictions and rebellions in those remarks. If it is enshrined, it is not the right way. ”

Song Lian's tone was serious. After being ordered by Zhu Su and untying the shackles of science, he loved Zhu Su, the fifth highness, even more. If this Highness really falls into the outer way, he Song Lian will fight for his life, and he must also advise this Highness to get back on track.

"Hehe, Master Song is too worried." Zhu Su said with a smile. The philosophies that told Fang Xiaoru were actually outdated philosophies, and the only ones he really believed in were the great Mao Si Deng Xiang and the Communist Manifesto. However, these naturally can't be said directly to Song Lian, he has already thought of other words to deal with:

"Although Fang Gongzi is outstanding in learning, he is conformist. I often don't have my own thoughts about what is said in the book. ”

That's why I used this method to let him think on his own, trying to tell him that not all the truths that others say are true. Some truths, even if they are wrong, are often disguised as unfathomable and plausible. ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that instead of breaking the shackles in his heart, he became obsessed because of these many views of yes and no."

"Even, I'm tired of being criticized by Shilin......"

Zhu Su deliberately showed a wry smile of embarrassment.
