"Let's go, Jiang Xuan, go to the Guozijian with Gu."

Zhu Yunxi got up, he wanted to go to Guozijian to see the current situation of Guozijian after Fang Xiaoru gained power.

At the same time, I also want to see how many of the young Confucian students firmly believe in Cheng Zhu Lixue, and those who can wake up to the disadvantages of Cheng Zhu Lixue.

In fact, Cheng Zhu's science is not all bad.

Cheng Zhu Lixue also has its advantages, and has also made indelible contributions to China, but if any idea is out of date, it should be swept into the old paper pile of history.

In the 26th year of Hongwu, Cheng Zhu Lixue was still an advanced thought in the world.

But in another 100 or 200 years, this set of thinking will gradually fall behind, and even reach a level that hinders the development of China.

But thinking is the most difficult thing to change.

Once an idea was established at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the ideological steel seal was engraved for the people, courtiers and even the emperor.

There is no way to change it.

Habit is an extremely terrible thing!

When everyone is accustomed to Cheng Zhu Lixue and begins to recognize all the truths expounded by Cheng Zhu Lixue, unless there is a saint with extraordinary intelligence, there will be no way to change!

Zhu Yunxi can't pin his hopes on future generations.

It's about starting with him and making changes! Even if it's an almost impossible thing!

Cheng Zhu Lixue originated in the Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Stretching on the land of China for thousands of years!

How could it be that Zhu Yunxi said that it could be cleared? The supporters of this set of ideas do not know how many people are, and it can be said that even Zhu Yunxi does not know who the real enemy he will face is.

But no matter how difficult it is, Zhu Yunxi has to do it!

got up and walked out of the imperial study, Jiang Zhen hurriedly followed behind him, gathering his entourage to protect the safety of His Royal Highness Taisun.

All the way straight to the country's prison.

……

At the foot of Jiming Mountain, the school building of Guozijian covers a vast area.

There are as many as 8,000 students studying here! It's a lot of prosperity!

And most of the students learn the Four Books and Five Classics, Confucianism.

And after Fang Xiaoru served as the priest of the country, he abandoned the Four Books and Five Classics and the words of the sages, and turned to study Cheng Zhu Lixue, that is, the set of 'Heavenly Principles', called Confucianism, but in fact moral theology!

A 'heavenly principle' that everyone must follow is fictionalized, with moral kidnapping as the core.

It drives all people to follow the 'principles of heaven', to follow the set of morals they prescribe, to suppress human nature, to restrain the mind.

Zhu Yunxi walked into Guozijian.

As far as the eye could see, there was a depressing atmosphere, and all the Confucian students were looking at the words of the Confucian sage after being misinterpreted by Cheng Zhu Lixue.

And those teachers who are preaching knowledge are all preaching Cheng Zhu's teachings.

That is, the fundamental law of all things in heaven and earth and human society is the 'Heavenly Principle', and everything in the world exists in the 'Reason', and this 'Reason' comes from the 'Heavenly Principle'.

Therefore, 'Heavenly Principle' is the supreme being.

No one can disobey it, and at the same time, we must explore the principles of heaven as much as possible, so as to 'preserve the principles of heaven and destroy people's desires'.

Almost completely put aside the fundamental knowledge of Confucianism, the words of the sages.

The so-called words of the sage are just a form borrowed by Cheng Zhu Lixue in order to expound his thoughts, and in essence, Cheng Zhu Lixue is an alternative kind of Buddhism and Zen science.

It belongs to theology, which seriously deviates from the original Confucian path.

As for the pre-Qin Confucian thought, it is even more different.

"You will teach the students of the Guozijian to learn these things?" After Zhu Yunxi inspected it, he said with some disappointment to the Dr. Wujing of Guozijian on the side.

Where could Dr. Wujing not hear the dissatisfaction in Zhu Yunxi's tone?

However, since Fang Xiaoru served as the priest of the country, he ordered that there was no need to teach the classics of Confucianism, and instead preached Cheng Zhu's theory of heaven.

Although in the past, Cheng Zhu Lixue was the official orthodox doctrine.

It is also an extremely important knowledge to study the words of the sages and read works such as "Zhou Yi" and "Shangshu".

Cheng Zhu Lixue is nothing more than a school of thought that expounds the words of the sages.

But since Fang Xiaoru came, everything has changed.

These doctors of the Five Classics don't even teach the Five Classics, and they instill in their students the idea of the supremacy of heavenly principles all day long.

Confucian scholars study the words of the sages only to make their words and deeds conform to the principles of heaven and consciously do what the sages do, so as to do whatever they want without exceeding the rules.

In the end, we will achieve the inner holy realm of sanctification, benevolence, and adulthood.

The inner sanctity advocated by Cheng Zhu Lixue is a state of 'unity between heaven and man', and human desire is integrated with heavenly principles.

Since then, no matter what you do, it is the law of heaven and the way of heaven.

But the question is...... How can we determine that a person is truly 'one with man and nature'?

If a great Confucian who is full of selfish desires is falsely touted as the unity of heaven and man, from then on, every word and deed is the principle of heaven and the way of heaven.

There is nothing wrong with that.

This can only have unimaginable consequences!

So this is the most terrifying point of Cheng Zhu Lixue, the 'unity of heaven and man' and 'the preservation of heaven and the destruction of human desires' that they advocate do not have a specific measurement standard at all!

It's all a psychological realm.

No one can know what level of the realm they are dealing with.

In the end, everyone has become a pretend.

Everyone looks like a gentleman on the surface, but in fact, the mainland is full of selfish desires!

But the disguised appearance of these people is very confusing.

looks like he is worried about the country and the people, but when he really implements it, it is completely different.

Moreover, Cheng Zhu Lixue also has a drawback, which is the excessive pursuit of the psychological realm, and all the propositions of this doctrine are in the pursuit of the realm of inner sage.

This doctrine is completely devoid of the spirit of hard work!

It seems that as long as you think about it in your heart, and then you can achieve the so-called 'saving heavenly principles and destroying human desires', you can become holy.

There is no need to do anything practical for the country and the people.

The same can achieve the highest state pursued by Confucianism.

What is such a doctrine that is not misleading the country and the people?!

"This ......" Doctor Pentateuch was speechless for a while.

I could only sneer: "I still learn other things on weekdays, but the teachings of the saints need to be reviewed repeatedly." ”

"And if the students understand the principles of heaven, they also know how to do it in the future, so as not to violate the principles of heaven."

"Wrong step."

"It's good to be a righteous gentleman."

Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows.

There are a lot of things that I don't say in my heart, and a righteous gentleman can be made just by thinking about it?!

But in the end, I held back, and now the time has not come.

Since it was decided to give the killer Fang Xiaoru, he couldn't give up halfway.

Instead, he said: "Remember, in addition to these Confucian studies, there are also laws, calligraphy, and arithmetic? ”

"Why didn't you see it after a long time?"

The Doctor of the Five Classics pointed in a direction and replied, "Your Highness, the original arithmetic was originally set up in this position. ”

"But...... After Fang Saijiu took office, he deliberately moved his arithmetic to another place. ”

"Far from here......"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Jiang Xuan again, Jiang Xuan understood, and immediately walked in front of Zhu Yunxi.

whispered: "Your Highness, Fang Xiaoru is very dissatisfied with arithmetic. ”

"I felt that arithmetic should not appear in the Guozijian at all, so I moved the arithmetic school to the most remote place in the Guozijian."

Zhu Yunxi even understood.

How can a person who pursues 'heavenly principles' like to pursue 'truth' as an alien?

In between, it is inherently contradictory.

All external things in the world are useless to Cheng Zhu Lixue, which the other party believes in.

The pursuit of inner sainthood is a psychological pursuit.

In fact, it doesn't matter what the external environment is, what matters is the changes in their own hearts.

This extreme psychology is the poison that inhibits social development!

"Let's go, take Gu to take a look at arithmetic."

Naturally, the Doctor of the Five Classics was not easy to stop, so he had to take Zhu Yunxi to the door of the arithmetic school.

Inside the door, students were listening intently to the lecture of the doctor of arithmetic.

The students present were extremely serious.

It's just that there are not too many students under the door of arithmetic.

Presumably, most students scoff at arithmetic.

After all, no matter how well you learn this thing, it is difficult to become an official, but it is the right way to become an official by learning Confucian knowledge and participating in the imperial examination.

These people, on the contrary, are 'crooked and heretical'.

"Ahem." Dr. Pentateuch walked through the door and coughed lightly.

said: "His Royal Highness Taisun has arrived, and you still don't welcome His Highness?" ”

Inside the door, a group of students and doctors of arithmetic were stunned.

He looked at the Pentateuch in disbelief.

Taisun?

How is this possible? How could Taisun come to this remote place of theirs?

But looking at the appearance of the Doctor of the Pentateuch, it doesn't seem like a lie.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi also slowly walked into the house, stood on the podium, and overlooked the many students below.

"Is it really Taisun?!"

The students below were extremely excited, and they became lively all of a sudden.

"I've seen His Royal Highness Taisun!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded lightly and motioned for everyone to get up.

Then he said: "Gu inspected the Guozijian today and saw many students, but only you are the most special in Gu's opinion. ”

"Do you know why?"

Many of the students below didn't know how to answer for a while.

One of the students stepped forward.

He asked, "Your Highness, is it because we are not studying Confucianism, but arithmetic?" ”

"Not the path of the saints to pursue?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded appreciatively.

Said: "That's right! In Lone's view, arithmetic is not inferior to Confucianism! ”

Zhu Yunxi said amazing words!

Directly made the Doctor of the Five Classics on the side stunned in place, as if struck by lightning!

This...... When can arithmetic stand side by side with Confucianism?

The countless arithmetic students below were even brighter, and they couldn't help but look at Zhu Yunxi.

I want to know if His Royal Highness Taisun is deceiving them.

But Zhu Yunxi's face was full of seriousness, and he said firmly: "Confucianism is the top priority of today's academic and imperial examinations. ”

"But in the future, the Ming imperial examination will no longer be limited to Confucianism."

"The arithmetic you learn will also be the most important! It may not be worse than Confucianism! ”

"The most lacking talent in the Ming Dynasty now is not a Confucian student who can only talk about it, but an arithmetic student who can do practical things like you!"

"The current Ming Dynasty, whether it is national debt, land reform, national highways, or even the manufacture of new weapons, is inseparable from the support of arithmetic."

"As long as you study hard now, choose a direction, and start from the most practical problems of Daming to study."

"In the future, there will definitely be a place to show your talents!"

Daming, now is the time to need practical talents!

Countless arithmetic students below have been shocked, and they have always been the lowest status of arithmetic in the country.

Unexpectedly, now His Royal Highness Taisun actually said that he would vigorously develop arithmetic in the future.

It is also a talent who needs arithmetic!

Let all the students present excited! I can't wait to learn arithmetic knowledge now and devote myself to the construction of Daming!

"Wait, just remember one sentence."

"Read for the rise of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Da Ming will definitely not let you down!"

"I promise to let you show your talents, and make the best use of them! The achievements of the future may not be under Confucianism! ”

"Even, above Confucianism!"
