Among the ministers, Zhao Ruyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Zai, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, had the most abundant expressions, and these people were crying out to the sky and the earth, as if the end of the world was coming.

Zhang Zai shouted: "The way of heaven has fallen! What is the dignity of the royal family as a shame to the ancestors? Where is the law of the ancestors? ”

Zhao Ruyu said: "Your Majesty is going to do this terrible thing for the sake of a barbarian woman? How will you go to see His Majesty Emperor Taizu and his ancestors in the future? ”

Zhao Hao was enraged: "Zhao Ruyu! Don't think that you can say this kind of thing if you are a member of the Zhao clan, what is a great rebellion? You're a big rebel! The reason why I have such a reform is nothing more than for the long-term peace and stability of my Great Song Empire, and for the well-being and happiness of thousands of Great Song Dynasty people. ”

At this time, a person stepped forward and said loudly: "It is not an exaggeration that Your Majesty is willing to give up too much imperial power, but all the rituals passed down from generation to generation of the imperial court system will be lost, and from then on, the monarch will not be the king; Ministers and generals are not ministers, and the three outlines and five permanent committees have all become empty talk, isn't this kind of program and regular expense a big rebellion? ”

Xiao Ming saw that this person had three strands of long hair, a handsome face, and a long jade body, and a very temperamental temperament, it was Zhu Xi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Huanzhang Pavilion! This Zhu Fuzi, who was called a saint by later generations, is indeed good in appearance!

Zhu Xi continued: "Since ancient times, the long-term peace and stability of the country, the well-being and happiness of the people depend on self-denial and diligence for the monarch and the loyalty of the courtiers. We have been educated by the saints for a long time, the great road of the world is the word of reason, and the three outlines and five constants of the country's monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons are the principles of heaven, and they are the code of conduct that supports the education of all peoples, and the saints are ......! ”

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ming suddenly interrupted him and said, "Enough! Master Zhu"

Zhu Xi looked at Xiao Ming in amazement, Xiao Ming strolled up, his appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention, many ministers who did not express their opinions were all looking at Xiao Ming's attitude, and many people actually knew that today's Xiaozong Zhao Hao made this play, the ** of the ten was done by Xiao Ming, but some people understand the situation here, and some people don't understand it.

Xiao Ming didn't want to stand up so soon, he still wanted to listen to the opinions of the audience and watch the good performances of everyone, but once Zhu Xi appeared, this matter could no longer be moved step by step, he had to suppress Zhu Xi, otherwise with Zhu Xi's eloquence and demagogy of physical thought, it would be easy to drive a large group of ministers to oppose the constitution.

"According to Lord Zhu, it is a great rebellion for you to accuse His Majesty the Emperor like this!" Xiao Ming tried his best to say this with a smile on his face, Zhu Xi suddenly couldn't figure out Xiao Ming's intentions, he opened his mouth to defend himself, but Xiao Ming raised his hand and signaled him to wait, because now is not his performance time.

Xiao Ming said loudly: "Everyone! Since the dynasties and dynasties, the inheritance and development of Chinese culture depends on what, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, I think everyone must know that it is the Confucianism passed down by Confucius, I want to say that many of you have read books and classics that Confucius and Mencius know when you are very young, so you should know, what is the core of Confucianism? ”

Everyone at the bottom was silent, many people knew that Xiao Ming himself was not a scholar, and his culture was limited, and now he was talking about Confucianism here, naturally he was a class with an axe, and everyone looked at his jokes and it was not bad!

Who knew that Xiao Ming turned to tell everyone the story: "During the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was a Tianzhu monk Bodhidharma Patriarch who came to the east, and the Chinese monk Hui Ke cut off his arm in front of Bodhidharma, begging Bodhidharma Patriarch to teach him how to calm his heart!" Bodhidharma said, "Try to take your heart, and I will be safe for you." Xiao Ming tried to tell the story thoroughly, basically in the vernacular.

"Zen Buddhism is great wisdom, he teaches people how to redeem themselves! Since ancient times, the saying of peace of mind is that many people who seek the avenue have been pursuing, Buddhism and Zen Buddhism guide people, this heart is where you still have to find the heart, is there is a heart or no heart? There is a heart between God and Buddha, there is a Buddha in your heart, you are a Buddha, there is no God in your heart, there is no God in the world! It's a fallacy and a hoax! ”

Xiao Ming's story is quite attractive, Zhao Hao listened to it with relish, and the ministers were silent, wanting to hear what Xiao Ming was trying to express, so he just listened to Xiao Ming continue to tell the story.

"The truth of religion is to make our hearts outward, they can't be trusted, but the doctrine of Elder Zhang Zai and Master Zhu Xi Zhu that you respect is like this, that is, let us put our hearts in its original position, that is, in our own cavity, this is called returning to our original heart!" He looked at Zhang Zai and Zhu Xi and asked, "Is this my statement correct?" ”

Zhu Xi said: "It should be able to say so"

"The heart itself is the original desire of the human heart, is the heart willing to stay where it came from? Obviously not, he is always moving, Lord Zhu may think that this is ** is doing trouble, the principle of heaven is the avenue, it is good, and human desire is evil! It should be suppressed, one must strive to reduce one's own **, and the more it is reduced, the closer it is to the realm of a saint. The most effective way to reduce ** is to think about the morality defined by the saints all the time, and to think about loyalty and patriotism all the time, and there is nothing else to think about except this thought. But who among you can do it? ”

Zhu Xi was just about to open his mouth, but Xiao Ming interrupted him again: "Master Zhu, don't flaunt, you can't do it, can you remember a poem?" Saying that, Xiao Ming chanted a poem: "The Tao is a pear blossom, not; The Tao is an apricot blossom is not. White and red and red, don't be the taste of the East. Zeng Ji, Zeng Ji, people were slightly drunk in Wuling. "This is a song "Like a Dream".

Zhu Xi's face changed greatly when he heard this! I was trembling all over my body, and I didn't know if I was angry or scared! In fact, this poem came from the hand of a prostitute, and this woman's name was "Yan Rui".

Yan Rui is a camp prostitute in Taizhou, "the best of color and art", good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and her reputation is far and wide. The so-called camp prostitutes are official prostitutes. In the Song Dynasty, the law stipulated that official prostitutes could sit on the stage to serve officials, but they could not sleep in the same bed, and they were nightclub ladies who only sold alcohol and did not sell themselves. But the ban is often in name only, and officials are prone to prostitution.

Taizhou prefect Tang Zhongyou is familiar with Yan Rui, and often finds Yan Rui to accompany him in the banquet, and in a banquet she wrote the famous work "Like a Dream Order". Tang Zhongyou and Zhu Xi did not agree, and the two had academic differences, which escalated into factional disputes in the officialdom. Therefore, when Zhu Xi served as the envoy of Changping in eastern Zhejiang and toured Taizhou, he began to collect evidence of Tang Zhongyou's crimes and wrote a letter of impeachment, and one of them was the "personal style problem" that had been tried and tested for thousands of years.

Zhu Xi heard that Tang Zhongyou and Yan Rui had an ambiguous relationship, so he started from Yan Rui, trying to open a breakthrough from her and find evidence of Tang Zhongyou's personal corruption. In Zhu Xi's Taoist dictionary, prostitutes must be ruthless and unrighteous, and they must all be weak and lowly. Therefore, a Taoist who shouted "Preserve the principles of heaven and destroy people's desires" thought that he had the chance to win, and began to carry out a harsh interrogation of a weak woman. Yan Rui was detained for more than two months, subjected to frequent torture, and "repeatedly received a cane and was sentenced to death."

But who wants the delicate Yan Rui to behave as firmly as a martyr, let the torture, and only admit the matter of accompanying the wine from beginning to end, and not the matter of going to bed. "As a lowly prostitute, even if he has an affair with Taishou, he will not die for his crimes. However, if it is true or false, how can it be said in vain to defile the doctor. Even if you die, you can't be defiled!" Her painful endurance was actually to avoid affecting the "scholar", which really made Zhu Xi, who was a scholar, lose face.

Prostitutes, officials, scholars, adultery, torture to extract confessions, this peachy news full of gimmicks quickly caused a stir, and the prostitutes suffered and were really unfair. However, most of the victims of politics have always been innocent people, and it is difficult to argue. After Zhu Xi was transferred, Yue Fei's son Yue Lin took over, and Yan Rui was released. When she was about to be released from prison, she wrote this poem "Fortune Operator": It's not about loving Fengchen, it seems to have been mistaken by her predecessor. Flowers fall and bloom from time to time, always the monarch of the East. If you go, you must go. How to live. If the head is full of mountain flowers, don't ask where the slave returns.

In this game of unbalanced power, the university scholar Zhu Xi lost very thoroughly, not only did he not defeat Tang Zhongyou politically, but also lost his personality, face, and people's hearts. Yan Rui, who endured torture and did not give in, not only won people's sympathy, but also proved the integrity of a prostitute. In this game, the high-ranking Taoists behave like lowly villains, while the lowly prostitutes behave with noble integrity.

This matter is considered by Zhu Xi to be the biggest shame in his life, and he has always avoided talking about it, and today Xiao Ming took out the lyrics of "Like a Dream Order" to ask him not to talk anymore, because what is said below is a great shock to him and everyone!

Xiao Ming said: "I think everyone may know the core idea of Confucius's Confucianism, that is: benevolence! What is benevolence? You have your own explanations, and today I will tell you his true explanation, that the kindness of the saints is to teach you how to place your heart! ”

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you? Yes. Is it loyal and patriotic? Yes, but it is also to teach you peace of mind, Confucius opened a door, neither let us guide God, nor guide the heart, he is really a guide to the heart, so that people put their hearts in the hearts of others, and everyone's hearts should go to the hearts of others to find a place to settle down.

The heart of the father is the heart of the son, the heart of the son is the heart of the father, the heart of the friend is the heart of the friend, the heart of the friend is loyalty and forgiveness, the heart of the husband and wife, the heart of the master and apprentice, the heart of the monarch and the minister, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, honesty and shame are unsurpassed, and the saint enlightens us to the new heart is: benevolence! There is no class of benevolent! Benevolence knows no bounds! The benevolent are invincible!

When the heart is one with God and with things, that is the great liberation of the heart and the great settlement of the heart! The great single of infinite benevolence needs to first enter the hearts of others to settle down, and others will feel your heart, even if you die, others will still feel that you are still alive, and you will always live in the hearts of others, which is the strong and powerful Confucian benevolence left to us by the sage, with great vitality! But it's not the one you have to put for him: reason! ”

After Xiao Ming's words were finished, everyone was also a little dumbfounded, such a brief introduction had never been heard of, but it was reasonable, Zhang Zai and the others were even more stunned on the spot, they forgot to wipe the tears and snot on their faces, and Zhu Xi was even more like an electric shock! Among the ministers, their faces eased, and many people seemed to have understanding, but only Zhao Hao was secretly proud.

Xiao Ming said: "Have we followed the teachings of the saints? Who said that the emperor should be lazy in political affairs, who said that our emperor is obsessed with women, you restrain the emperor from traveling all over the rivers and mountains of my Great Song Dynasty, and overseas places, and they all say that it is better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles, and the one among you who has the emperor to walk more far? ”

Zhao Hao felt this comfort in his heart, leaning on the dragon chair and looking at his courtiers! Listen to Xiao Ming continue: "Although the emperor is young, he is determined to forge ahead, marrying a barbarian woman and settling the hearts of border ethnic minorities, which of you can do it?" Taking the initiative to reduce the rights and interests of the royal family for the benefit of all the people of the Great Song Dynasty in the world, who among you can do it? ”

"If you want me to say that Your Majesty is not only our supreme head of state, but his ambition and ability are completely capable of being the supreme head of our government, you are not convinced?" Xiao Ming's face was full of hooliganism, but Zhao Hao loved him more and more when he looked at it, and he respected him very much in his heart!
