Is the current world better than the Apocalypse period?

Perhaps, at least there is no dispute between gentlemen and villains in the court.

But this is not because there are gentlemen in the court. More because "villains" are everywhere in the court, they only focus on the political achievements required for the exam and run around the world of success.

Not only that, when Huang Daozhou went to Beijing to serve as the Zhan Shi Mansion, and was the calligraphy teacher of the Crown Prince Zhu Hegui, Liu Zongzhou once wrote a letter to express his opposition, believing that the ministers of the country should have principles and must first explain the right and wrong of the past. If the person in charge cannot ask, he will come and sway it, otherwise it will be like a dog who is waving his tail and begging for mercy?

This made Huang Daozhou speechless, and he just responded to Liu Zongzhou's opposition by saying "serving relatives at home, serving the king in court, and serving the king in a great way."

Outsiders can only guess what Liu Zongzhou thought in his heart, and then choose three reactions: sarcastic, deaf ears, and shouting for support. For Liu Zongzhou's two disciples, Huang Zongxi and Chen Que, the master should come out.

As if "The sky does not grow, it will be like a long night forever." If Mr. Qishan does not leave, the Ming Dynasty will enter the long night and there will be no more beacons.

"Although Mr. Wu said it badly, he was reasonable." Liu Zongzhou's eyebrows were as smooth as water, and there was no joy or anger on his thin face, and there was a quiet and calm look on his face.

"When Master Wu wrote this passage, the gentleman had not yet taken charge of the Taixue, so it was probably for the Kong family." Huang Zongxi said.

Liu Zongzhou's predecessor was Confucius's grandson, Yansheng Gong Kong Yinzhi.

Kong Yinzhi had a misfortune. He first surrendered to the fake thief Luo Yukun and fell into the hands of Zhu Cilang as a doll. Later, he served as the Imperial College Priest, but did not persuade him to enter.

It should be noted that in the vast article of persuading the introduction, Zhu Cilang couldn't remember who submitted a memorial to persuade him to advance. But he must remember who did not persuade him to advance.

So Kong Yinzhi's position as a priest can no longer be preserved.

"You are now also infected with bad habits in the officialdom." Liu Zongzhou criticized his disciples without hesitation: "How can a gentleman discuss things based on others?"

Huang Zongxi quickly stood up to apologize and praised, "Thank you, sir."

"You need to be careful when you are alone, how can you speak in front of others?" Liu Zongzhou's theory is based on "calmly alone". Because he was taught by Xu Fuyuan, the most important thing is to learn not to be empty knowledge, but to practice. For Confucian scholars all over the world, knowledge is just a stepping stone, but in the eyes of true Confucians such as Liu Zongzhou. Knowledge is the practice of exploring the great way. If you cannot practice it yourself, you are a false Confucian.

"Disciple is wrong." Huang Zongxi inherited the teachings again.

Liu Zongzhou then returned to the topic just now and said, "I have to choose a tribute to the emperor and be loyal to the Imperial College. Since the court does not give money, we will raise the money by ourselves. We must do what we should do." He turned around and walked into the room, and immediately brought out a wooden box and said, "I have saved more than ten taels of silver for my masters and friends over the years. In addition, this time I entered Beijing, the 200 taels of Sichuan were left by my disciples in Zhejiang. You two will use it to do things."

After Liu Zongzhou returned to his hometown, he only taught in the temple for a living and did not interact with the public. Even if officials visited him, he often refused to meet and lived a very hard life. However, since he came out to be an official, he had no choice but to exchange, so he still chose to collect "two hundred and two Sichuan funds". In fact, the expenses along the way were all the expenses of the court and his own savings.

Huang Zongxi was about to cry at that time: More than 210 taels of silver, what can he do?

Chen Que, who was standing beside him, quickly refusing: "Why is this sir? Shouldn't the disciples work hard on this? The expenses are all for their own students."

Huang Zongxi also advised: "Sir. Now the court has another constitution. Personal donations can be commended, but they cannot do business with private money."

Liu Zongzhou was familiar with various classics. When he was in Shaoxing, he knew that the government no longer needed private individuals. Even the gatehouses would be issued by the court. This certainly increased the pressure on the court. But it made sense to think about it. At least it reduced the knocking of the white servant on the people. After Huang Zongxi said this, Liu Zongzhou's hand holding the wooden box stopped in the air.

"Sir, you might as well tell the things you want to do one by one, write a report by your disciples and apply for funding." Huang Zongxi said: "In my humble opinion, it is not that the cabinet is reluctant to give the Imperial College bank money. It is because the Imperial College itself has no plan. I only know how much it takes to open the talk, but I don't say where the silver is used and why it is used. Such a slander and rejection is also the meaning of the question."

Liu Zongzhou knew that this disciple was in the sacrificial sect. Although his position was not obvious, he was also a close minister of the emperor. He would never make any mistakes in the rules of the center.

"I want to establish a journal of the Imperial College, promote righteousness, accommodate difficulties, and promote righteous Confucianism." Liu Zongzhou said.

Huang Zongxi said: "For outsiders always use money as a checkpoint when handling newspapers. Taixue was originally from the court. To apply for newspapers, you only need to approve them. Disciples will do this tomorrow."

Liu Zongzhou was satisfied and said something like "recruitment", "printing books", "professional recruitment of famous scholars" and so on. These were not much money, so they were naturally taken by Huang Zongxi and Chen Que.

The master and apprentice have not yet had enough fun, and it is reported outside the door that Liu Zongzhou was in the same year, and old friends came to visit each other, including Qi Biaojia, who was once taught by Liu Zongzhou. These people are determined to stand firm, and now they are in Hanlin, in the Qingliu of books and museums. Huang Zongxi and Chen Que said goodbye first and went to do their own business.

Because Huang Zongxi and Chen Que were both in the Sheren Department, although they were different, they responded simultaneously, and the Imperial College project application was delivered to the Emperor's desk within half a month.

Zhu Cilang knew that Huang Zongxi was famous in later generations, but he was really unsure of Liu Zongzhou's historical status. When asked about his close ministers, he also had mixed praises and criticisms. Zhu Cilang finally decided that instead of asking the Confucian ministers of the dynasty, it would be better to go and see what Liu Zongzhou said by himself.

In October of the second year of Longjing, His Majesty the Emperor and the Crown Prince went to the Imperial College.

It was only in the morning that day that the emperor would arrive, and he hurriedly ordered someone to sweep the floor and clean it up and prepare to pick him up. Huang Zongxi, who came to inform him, said: "Sir, don't hurry to pick him up. Just order someone to sweep him away. You can go on a trip today and be simple and simple, with the style of an ancient sage king."

Confucianism includes gentlemen and villain Confucianism.

The villain Confucianism is demanding etiquette everywhere and is unwilling to go beyond the rules; the gentleman Confucianism emphasizes great righteousness and pursues spiritual harmony with the three generations of saints. These two are like the Buddhist Vinaya and Zen Buddhism. Although they are under the sect of religion, their attitudes towards life are completely different.

The emperor Liu Zongzhou expected was the saint emperor, the king of Yao and Shun. He was overjoyed when he heard this and ordered people to clean up. He changed his public uniforms and even kept his studies in the prison, just waiting for His Majesty to arrive.

Zhu Cilang was truly disgusted with all kinds of cumbersome etiquette. Even if he became the emperor, he traveled only to set up a route to block the road, and there were only dozens of followers. Among these dozens of people, there were guards, waiting for imperial edicts, and all the civil and military were complete. It was a mobile office, and all the personnel had been reduced to the extreme.

Even though there were only dozens of people, they still looked vast when they walked to the entrance of the Imperial College archway. Compared with the Imperial College officials who came out to welcome the car, there was a sparse population there.

This was the first time that Liu Zongzhou had never been an official in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

When Zhu Cilang looked at Liu Zongzhou's figure, he thought of Guo Zhenren, and felt like he was "immortality-like and Taoist".

As a priest, Liu Zongzhou came forward to see the ceremony, and even faced the six-year-old crown prince.

"Mr. Liu is from the southern country. Are you used to living in the capital?" Zhu Cixuan asked with a smile.

Liu Zongzhou said seriously: "The others are still good, but the sound of war every night makes people sleepless."

"Hahaha..." Zhu Cixuan looked as he walked, and seemed to have not heard it at all: "Yeah, there are indeed many old locust trees here."

The crown prince was too young and before he could understand the relationship between the two of them, he was picked up by the emperor and recognized the tree.

"The locust trees are originally the trees of officials, ministers and officials, why do many of them not grow straight?" Zhu Cixuan suddenly asked Liu Zongzhou.

Liu Zongzhou was stunned and blurted out: "The ministers and ministers did not serve the king with straightness, but served the king with Tao. Tao divided yin and yang, distinguished the straightness of the curve. Therefore, Wei Zheng's direct advice was indeed to persuade the king to practice Taoism, but Guan Zhong assisted Qi Huan, but also served the king with Taoism."

Zhu Cixuan asked, "Everyone says 'Tao', but what exactly is this 'Tao'? What is the use of governing the country and the people of the world?"

Liu Zongzhou's eyebrows shook without any preparation, and talked about the "straight-minded way" of Confucianism. After all, he was a great scholar in Chinese studies and was called "the last great master of Youming" by descendants of another time and space, and it was definitely not a false reputation. He quickly talked about "heart" from "Tao" to "heart" and from "heart" to "conscience", without any knots along the way.

Zhu Cilang seemed to understand but he didn't understand, but many of his doubts were indeed enlightened.

He had no prejudice against Confucianism, nor did he feel that a philosophy had a "shelf life". The "supporting Confucianism" and "non-Confucianism" on the forums in later generations actually did not know what "Confucianism" is, nor did he know what the Confucianism was after learning Wang Yangming. No social form could exist independently without its own philosophical thoughts. It was Yangming's study of the mind that unveiled the openness of Jiangnan in the late Ming Dynasty.

"Sir, I will talk." Zhu Cixuan waited for the opportunity to breathe, and pulled Liu Zongzhou to the side.

Liu Zongzhou's thin body actually produced a huge force of resistance, saying, "Your Majesty forgives the crime. I really don't know what the emperor and the ministers have to discuss, and I cannot be known to the world."

Zhu Cilang smiled bitterly and said, "It's nothing, it's just that private doubts are not worthy of being told to outsiders."

"If this is the case," Liu Zongzhou followed the emperor to avoid a step and turned to the historian, "The emperor's words and deeds must not be missed."

The historian who was responsible for recording daily notes was quite ashamed. With the support of the aura of the Confucian master, he strode over, stood behind Zhu Cilang and Liu Zongzhou, and listened in a slant.

The emperor's words and deeds cannot escape the eyes of the historian, and he cannot read his daily life notes. Only when he dies will these daily life notes be taken out to become the basis for the compilation of "A Certain Records".

If the emperor secretly looked at daily notes during his lifetime, or even exerted influence to modify them, it would inevitably make fun of future generations. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
