Time passed, and Zheng He began to prepare to sail away again.

And Zhu Yunxi's side is still preparing to focus on rectifying Daming's thoughts, reshaping Daming's thoughts, or at least changing in the direction of pragmatism.

Instead of continuing to let completely utopian theories like Cheng Zhu Lixue dominate.

Looking at the entire ideological system of Cheng Zhu Lixue, it can almost be said that there is no practical content in it.

The whole text is a description of the state of mind, as well as moral constraints.

This is undoubtedly useful in the feudal dynasty, because the feudal dynasty does not need to develop science and technology, nor does it need to develop productive forces, so it firmly locks the people to the land.

The solidification of ideas, along with the solidification of classes.

The elites at the top enjoy life, while the people at the bottom provide for them.

Until one day...... The dynasty suddenly collapsed!

Displaced people are everywhere! The flames of war burned on the bodies of these magnates, and in the end they all died under the sword soldiers!

And this is the epitome of the feudal dynasty.

Objectively speaking, Confucian culture and Cheng Zhu science are useful for the Ming Dynasty, a unified dynasty.

It's a pity that he is useless to Zhu Yunxi.

Especially for the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Yunxi wants to create, it is even more backward!

Zhu Yunxi wants to guide the trend of thought of the Ming Dynasty in the direction of pragmatism, so that everyone will be more concerned about how to develop more practical science and technology and liberate more productive forces.

So Zhu Yunxi set his goal on Yang Ming Xinxue.

First, Wang Yangming's psychology is also derived from Confucian culture, which can gain the recognition of scholars and reduce resistance.

Second, although Yangming Xinxue is still an idealist thought, it emphasizes the 'unity of knowledge and action', and pays more attention to the actual reality from Cheng Zhuli's 'Heavenly Principles' and 'Heavenly Dao'.

Zhu Yunxi is very clear that in this era.

Confucian culture is the supreme existence, and no thought can transcend it.

However, Zhu Yunxi can use the name of reviving Confucian culture.

Dope something else into it.

This kind of thing, in fact, everyone is doing it, Cheng Zhu Lixue is like this, and Yang Ming Xinxue is also like this.

Further back, the ancient literature movement advocated by the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties was also the same, called retro, but in fact it was a completely new idea.

And in the far West, the so-called Renaissance, the same.

From ancient times to the present, from the East to the West, all thinkers are doing one thing, and that is to use the authority of the ancients to confirm their authority!

Even the sage Confucius had to use the "Zhou Li" to explain his thoughts.

Zhu Yunxi is naturally no exception.

Yangming Xinxue, which comes from Confucianism, is naturally close to Confucian culture and is recognized by everyone.

And not a 'heresy' out of thin air.

But this is just a shell, and the real content in it, Zhu Yunxi naturally will not completely follow the content of Yang Ming's Xinxue.

Zhu Yunxi will inevitably emphasize the importance of action in the 'unity of knowledge and action'.

At the same time, there is also this so-called knowledge, what is it, how should it be known, and to which side should it be known?

This is all a place where you can mix in private goods!

The content is still those contents, but after the focus is different, there has been a drastic change, just like Cheng Zhu Lixue, which is obviously Confucianism, but mixed with the set of theories of Buddhism and Zen.

came up with a so-called 'Heavenly Principle'.

No, no one blames them for being wrong?

To put it bluntly, as long as you can find the corresponding thing from the words of the sage, you have a set of perfect theories of your own, and they are in line with the current ideological concepts.

Then you are naturally Confucian orthodoxy!

Merely...... In Yang Ming's psychology, there are really a lot of things to change.

Zhu Yunxi had to ensure that the content of Yangming's Xinxue did not lose his intention in order to convince the Confucian scholars, and at the same time, he also had to find out what he needed from the perspective of Yangming's Xinxue.

And with slight corrections.

It's like the 'heart is reason' advocated by Yang Ming Xinxue.

In Yang Ming Xinxue, the extreme faction believes that reason exists in the heart, and there is no fundamental relationship between people's moral level and the level of knowledge, so everyone can become Yao Shun.

Even if you are not a scholar, even if you are an ordinary person, you can still become a saint.

It meets Zhu Yunxi's needs, because Zhu Yunxi plans to abolish the slave and maid system in the future, so that the slaves and maids in the families of the nobles and wealthy gentry will become another identity - workers.

At the same time, this kind of thinking can also improve the status of the people.

It can be guided and used, so that the people can realize that as long as they work hard, contribute to the Ming Dynasty, and do their own work, they can be respected by everyone.

This will undoubtedly greatly increase the motivation of workers.

It can also stabilize the status of laborers, so that more people are willing to become laborers, and do not think that they are cheap.

After all, in China for thousands of years, these things that laborers have done were all done by conscription and forced labor in the past!

It's cheap!

Even with the people, there are naturally some worries in their hearts.

The people who work at home have a higher status in the hearts of the people than the people who go out to work.

Zhu Yunxi naturally had to reverse this trend of thought.

But there is a bad thing about this kind of thinking, 'the heart is reason', doesn't that mean that there is no need for people to pursue higher knowledge?

Zhu Xi tied his personal moral level and knowledge level together, although there are all kinds of disadvantages and countless drawbacks.

But wouldn't it be even more chaotic if moral standards and academic standards had nothing to do with them?

That's also the problem.

And just when Zhu Yunxi kept thinking about the content of Yang Ming's mind and added it to the adaptation.

Jiang Zhen suddenly walked in.

reported a piece of news to Zhu Yunxi: After Zhu Yunxi inspected Guozijian last time, Fang Xiaoru not only did not change his style.

On the contrary, it has intensified in the national prison.

Directly announce the ban on arithmetic! Expelled the arithmetic to the Guozijian!

It is even claimed that the Guozi Prison is a place to teach the knowledge of the saints, and no one is allowed to enter the Guozi Prison except for the knowledge of the saints!

And the content of the imperial examination is impossible to change!

This is almost blatantly arguing with Zhu Yunxi! I didn't take Zhu Yunxi in my eyes at all!

But Fang Xiaoru dared to do this, naturally he had his confidence.

Because now he is not only famous in the capital, but also has become the leader of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Behind him are thousands of Confucian students!

Among them, there are even more ministers of the DPRK and China who are supporting him and Zhu Yunxi to contradict him!

The imperial examination is the greatest interest of the scholars!

If anyone dares to move, even if it is the emperor, he will have to fight!

For a while, the court fell into a strange dull state, and it was no longer active.

Progress on many matters has also slowed down considerably.

After Zhu Yunxi heard this, a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes: "Is this going against me?" ”

"These people are really bold!"

"Looks like we're going to have to give them some color!"

………………

Following.

Morning.

Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Yun had a straight face, but the ministers and officials below looked lazy.

No matter what Zhu Yunxi said, they nodded yes.

There was no feedback at all.

made Zhu Yunxi feel that he was talking to a group of air, and the anger in his heart gradually surged, it seemed that these people were planning to use this way to make Zhu Yunxi soft.

But how could Zhu Yunxi connive?

He immediately spoke, pointing directly to the core and said: "Lone heard that since the last time Lone inspected the Guozi Prison." ”

"It's still a matter of repeated teachings and unauthorized changes to the policy set by Lonely, but is there such a thing?"

"Where is the filial piety of the wine party of the country? Come out and answer! ”

Zhu Yunxi finally made a difficulty.

The spearhead is directed at Fang Xiaoru!

The thunder that has been buried for a long time, at this moment, is finally exploded!

But Fang Xiaoru was fearless, took a step forward calmly, and even showed a smile like a spring breeze on his face.

said: "Your Highness, the minister is here." ”

"Guozijian has been followed for a long time, and since ancient times, it has been the highest university in China."

"Guozijian not only bears the meaning of education, but also sets an example for the world's schools!"

"Since the minister holds the position of the country's eunuch and the wine, he naturally wants to make the country's eunuch look new."

"Let the students of the world know that the imperial court attaches great importance to scholars, and let the world's institutions know that the imperial court attaches great importance to my Confucianism!"

"Therefore, what His Highness said, the minister cannot agree!"

Fang Xiaoru replied truthfully, looking at his expression, he really had a sense of arguing with reason.

Hundreds of officials and ministers are also in a state of faint support.

It made Zhu Yunxi sigh in his heart: It's not terrible to be wrong, what I'm most afraid of is that everyone doesn't know it's wrong! And it's ridiculously wrong!

may be in everyone's hearts, Cheng Zhu Lixue is still the foundation of the country.

Confucianism is an inseparable orthodox doctrine!

But Zhu Yunxi just reversed their thoughts! Even if the status of Confucianism cannot be changed for a while, everyone must know that he Zhu Yunxi is determined to eliminate Cheng Zhu Lixue!

"Oh?"

Zhu Yunxi asked rhetorically: "Then what do you think you would do if you were allowed to do it?" ”

"What would you do if you were standing in a lonely position?!"

Anyone can see it.

Although Zhu Yunxi's tone was flat, he was actually extremely dissatisfied!

Maybe you'll be furious the next moment!

And Zhu Yunxi's words buried a thunder for Fang Xiaoru, as long as he dared to answer, he might be directly taken down by Zhu Yunxi on the charge of great rebellion!

But Fang Xiaoru didn't seem to notice it.

said: "If you let the minister let go." ”

"It must be to encourage all scholars in the world to forge ahead and study the knowledge of the saints."

"Carry on the past and forge ahead into the future."

"Add a student registration system, and those who have lost their ancestors' virtues, those who have businessmen in their families, and those who have craftsmen in their families are not allowed to enter the school."

"None of them should delve into the knowledge of saints!"

"At the same time, increase the number of places in the imperial examination, and those who have achieved meritorious fame can be exempted from all taxes, so as to encourage the world's scholars to obtain meritorious fame."

"So the world is full of moral people."

"Only then can we make Daming Yongchang."

Fang Xiaoru even had a more radical idea.

One day, depose the hundred schools of thought, respect Confucianism alone, the world respects Confucianism, even if it is the emperor, he must listen to Confucianism!

Scholars and doctors rule the world together!

In this way, Fang is the scene of prosperity in his mind!

"Oh, I don't know what to say!"

Zhu Yunxi couldn't bear it after all.

Fang Xiaoru is a person who completely starts from the class of scholars and doctors to consider the problem.

Instead of thinking from the perspective of Daming!

At the same time, too ideal!

"Could it be that according to your thoughts, anyone who reads must have morality?"

"When there are more people like you in the world."

"Da Ming can prosper forever?"

"It's ridiculous!"

Zhu Yunxi pointed directly to the core, a reader cultivated under Cheng Zhu's scientific thoughts.

Is there really morality at all?
