Li Daochong has actually been numb for a long time, he listed Zhu Ming's ten major crimes last year, and also coerced and lured Golden State officials to jointly impeach.

I thought it would definitely have an effect, but after it was sent to Tokyo, I was directly stuck by Cai You.

Cai You also wrote back to arrange the task, asking Li Daochong not to be impatient and continue to collect evidence of Zhu Ming's crimes. When the time comes, he will definitely be able to defeat Zhu Ming!

The problem is that Li Daochong didn't think about knocking Zhu Ming down, he just asked not to be an official in the same place as Zhu Ming, and just asked that no one would hinder him from making money.

"You have a gift to ......"

Li Daochong looked at the things copied back by his henchmen, pondered for a moment, and wrote: "Zhu Ming tampered with the scriptures and righteousness, criticized the king, and this yin slandered Hua Shigang. ”

The henchman only excerpted some key content, Li Daochong read it carefully, and actually nodded subconsciously.

He was also born as a Jinshi, and even the henchmen around him have been lifted. Whether Zhu Ming is reasonable or not, they understand it in their hearts, and while admiring his knowledge, it does not prevent them from opposing Zhu Ming.

Li Daochong suddenly asked his confidant: "Is there a "Book of Rites Invention" for sale in Jinzhou?" ”

The henchman shook his head: "No, it's hard to see even Tokyo." ”

Of course, it is difficult to buy, but Zhu Ming still found it at a used bookstall on the Wenwan Street when he was visiting Xiangguoji Temple in Tokyo.

The book was not printed in large quantities and has not been reprinted for decades.

In fact, there is no need to read it deliberately, "The Invention of Rites" does not lack insight, but there is also a lot of content, which is purely far-fetched by Wang Anshi - in order to change the law, he deliberately distorts the meaning of the scriptures.

Wang Anshi made no secret of this, and directly pointed out in the "Words of Emperor Shangrenzong": I respect the Zhou rites, not to restore the Zhou rites. Today's world is different from ancient times. My so-called "King of Law" means "the law is the will", and then "according to the government", not directly "the law is the government".

Li Daochong wrote hundreds of words freely, called a personal entourage and said: "Send it to Tokyo and hand it over to Liuxianggong (Cai You)." ”

After writing the small report, Li Daochong went to drink and listen to music.

He is now lying flat, raising an opera troupe at home, listening to music and drinking every day to pass the time.

What else can you do if you don't lie flat?

Political struggles have always been one and the other, Zhu Ming is constantly pressing step by step, but Li Daochong has no countermeasures. Everyone saw that he was a paper tiger, and even the subordinate officials of his general judgment hall were secretly expressing goodwill to Zhu Ming.

The power has almost been seized, and Li Daochong can only mess around, hoping that Cai You's side will make trouble as soon as possible.

……

"Listening to Taishou's lecture today, can my brother gain something?" Wei Yingshi asked.

Wei Yingwu said: "Great gain! It's just that...... Taishou's talk about "University" seems to be different from the current version. ”

Wei Yingshi nodded: "Zhu Taishou changed the text order." ”

Actually, it was not Zhu Ming who changed it, but Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi.

And the changes of the second journey, the content is not the same.

Cheng Hao expounded the three outlines, immediately gave the three outline explanations, and then elaborated the eight eyes, and immediately gave the eight outlines of the explanations.

Cheng Yi directly listed the three outlines and eight orders, and then divided the eight eyes into two parts, Gewu Zhizhi is one whole, and the remaining six eyes are another whole.

Song Dynasty scholars expounded the Confucian scriptures and meanings in such a way that they changed the content of the scriptures directly according to their own understanding.

The "University" that was circulated in later generations adopted the version revised by Cheng Yi.

And Zhu Ming also used Cheng Yi's version, because it is silkier to read and understand.

The Wei brothers studied Xinxue, they had never been exposed to Luoxue, and a large number of Luoxue books were burned, and the ban on learning in the north was more strictly enforced, and the idea of Ercheng spread more widely in the south of the Yangtze River.

They also thought that it was Zhu Ming who changed the order of the writing of "University".

Wei Yingshi said: "After the change, the text is smoother and the reason is smooth, as it should be." ”

Wei Yingwu said: "The way of the university, three outlines and eight eyes, is the criterion for scholars, this is the imperial examination, and it can also be written." ”

The more the brothers discussed, the more excited they became, and they felt that there were many unclear points, so they went to consult Zhu Ming together.

The two met Zeng Xiaoduan in the state government, and there were also a few scholars.

Since Zhu Ming reversed the case, Zeng Xiaoduan has become a die-hard fan, and he is very obedient to any orders he has.

The people met and played against each other.

Soon they were brought in together, and they saluted Zhu Ming's disciples.

Zeng Xiaoduan said: "Taishou gave a lecture today, and we have benefited a lot, but at first glance, there are still many unclear points. ”

Zhu Ming took out a manuscript: "Let's take it and copy it into a book." ”

Zeng Xiaoduan held it with both hands and looked at it carefully, but saw the six characters of "University Chapters and Sentences".

Zhu Ming directly copied Zhu Xi's "Annotations on the Collection of University Chapters and Sentences", but made changes in subtle ways.

Zhu Xi said that people in the world are born to understand the truth of all things, and they are deceived by turbidity. He who is not deceived is a saint. Mortals are bound to be deceived, so they must keep learning, re-comprehend the truth, and eventually approach the saints.

Zhu Ming was reluctant to engage in this set, and when he expounded on "University", he said that people were born into the world like a blank piece of paper. Affected by the growth environment, some learn well and some learn badly. By learning to comprehend the truth and practicing it, you are a gentleman, and you can stop at perfection.

The explanation of the knowledge of things has not changed, because Zhu Xi's exposition is very clear: the extremes of physics are everywhere, and the knowledge of my heart is endless.

But how to learn about things, Zhu Xi didn't say anything at all. That is to say, this set of philosophical thoughts, only epistemology, no methodology, led to Wang Yangmingge Zhuzige to a coma.

Zhu Ming completed the methodology, that is, "Tao Use", and took the opportunity to promote "Tao Strategy".

That's what he's for!

In addition, "Cheng Ziyue" in Zhu Xi's book was completely deleted by Zhu Ming. It's not that he wants to usurp Cheng Yi's academic fruits, but that Luo Xue was banned by the imperial court, and he can't say that these are what Cheng Yi said, otherwise he will be banned by the imperial court every minute.

The "University" has been passed on ten times, plus in-depth elaboration, and it is tantamount to an academic bomb in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In particular, by summarizing the three outlines and eight items, and giving a detailed understanding, he can directly find the direction of life for the scholar, which is similar to the four sentences of Hengqu.

The three outlines are clear and virtuous, close to the people, and stop at the best.

Eight-eyed person, Gewu, Zhizhi, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world.

The full text is not a lot of words, and it will take you to read it quickly.

Zeng Xiaoduan read the whole article and returned to the three outlines and eight eyes again, his body was trembling slightly, and he instantly had the feeling of "dying at night".

The scholars surrounded Zeng Xiaoduan and put their heads together to read.

That kind of ideological impact is indescribable.

Especially the people who don't cure "Little Dai Liji", they are even more shocked.

Let's put it this way, Zhu Xi's "Annotations to the Collection of University Chapters and Sentences" is not only the guiding ideology of Cheng Zhu Lixue's program, but also the propaganda advertisement of Cheng Zhu Lixue, which is easy to pull people in.

Zhang Zai said: Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations.

These four sentences are exciting, but they are just slogans, they only give the goal of struggle, and do not guide the reader on how to implement them.

The three outlines and eight items are the implementation guidelines, and the process is gradual and gradual.

What Zhu Ming needs to do is to take private goods, throw the "Tao Theory of Utility" into the knowledge of things, and turn miscellaneous knowledge such as mathematics, physics, and agriculture into knowledge that readers should and must master.

Even if you don't study miscellaneous science in depth, you should know how to do it, and you should know how to link theory with practice.

Wei Yingshi sighed with emotion: "I have been studying hard for more than ten years, and I don't know the words of the sage, but today I know what the Tao is!" ”

……

Fujian Road, South Jianzhou, Sha County.

At the foot of Fenggang Mountain, Chen Yuan has been lecturing for more than a year.

At first, it was not named, but it was gradually called Fenggang Academy.

Zhu Ming's "University Chapters and Sentences" was mailed by a delivery shop at the beginning of spring, and it was not delivered to Shaxian County until midsummer.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan is very famous, because the countryside does not have free shipping, this thing can only be sent to the county office. The Shaxian Charge Division specially dispatched officials to deliver the package to Fenggang Academy.

More than 20 young scholars were listening to Chen Yuan's lectures.

The official recklessly barged in: "Chen Guanren, something has arrived!" ”

The scholars were interrupted from teaching, and their faces were not very good, complaining that the officials should not have broken in at this time.

Chen Yuan opened it and looked at it, and was immediately overjoyed, and went back to the house to take the money and stuff it to the officer: "Your Excellency Lao will take a trip." ”

The official got the reward, and he was in a very comfortable mood, nodded and said, "It's okay, send something to the Chen officials, we are very happy in our hearts." ”

Sending the officials away, Chen Yuan began to read the manuscript.

His feelings were different, he had studied Luoxue seriously, and knew that Zhu Ming quoted Cheng Yi's thoughts a lot.

However, Ercheng has written a lot of works, and it is difficult for ordinary disciples to integrate them, let alone summarize them and elaborate and develop them.

"Three outlines and eight eyes, learning from things, and the Tao and using each other to form ......"

Chen Yuan straightened his clothes, stood up straight and pointed to the northwest, and said to his students: "In the land of Jinzhou, there are people who stand on the road!" ”

Zhang Zhiyuan, a scholar from Shaxian County, asked: "May I ask sir, who is the Taoist?" What is the way? ”

"Zhenghe has been exploring Zhu Ming for five years, and Zhu Chenggong," Chen Yuan said, "Although this person claims to be my disciple, I am also a teacher and friend with him." He used the words of Ercheng, supplemented by the theory of Taoism, to establish the road of Confucianism. As soon as this way comes out, it can be passed on for eternity, and it is also the manifestation of the world! ”

The students were shocked and inexplicable, this was too much to say.

Chen Yuan handed over the manuscript: "And circulate it." ”

There were more than 20 students, and the scholars could not spread the word, so some people recited according to the manuscript.

Read it aloud once, but you don't fully understand it, so you read it a second time.

After a few times, the students finally understood that Chen Yuan was not talking big.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, some people admired "University", but it was not systematic, Zhu Ming plagiarized Zhu Xi's academics, so that "University" had scriptures, legends and annotations, and it could be written as a separate book from then on.

As long as the imperial court does not forcibly intervene, it will definitely spread more and more widely, and the Three Principles and Eight Eyes will become the standard of conduct for all scholars.

It is too inflammatory, and it is a summary of the understanding of the words of the saints!

From now on, scholars should be clear and virtuous, should be close to the people, and should stop at the best.

From now on, scholars should be knowledgeable, they should be sincere and upright, and they should cultivate themselves and govern the country and the world.

It sets a set of standards for the reader, and sets out the life goals for the reader, and everyone can become a gentleman as long as they follow it.

The person who wrote this commentary would be regarded as a sage by later generations of Confucian scholars.
