"Have you read my book sir?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

Liu Zongzhou felt a sense of righteousness in his heart, and he answered with the mentality of "written and death advice": "Your Majesty is knowledgeable and well-versed, and it is a big view. Unfortunately, he is very broad in his studies and is not profound enough. With Your Majesty's qualifications, if he concentrates on his principles and works hard, even if the ancient sages cannot achieve it."

"Sir, be polite." Zhu Cixuan asked: "I know that people in the world cannot only study academic numbers, but not all scholars can only study university principles. I just want to ask one thing, can the ambitions of the world become Yao and Shun?"

In Zhu Cilang's previous life, due to the famous century-old national humiliation, it left a deep wound in the hearts of the Chinese people. Because this psychological scar cannot be cured for a long time, someone needs to take the blame. On the occasion of the May Fourth generals, they need to eliminate the ethics in people's minds, so they can turn the whole Westernization into a place, so Confucius is the best candidate, and Confucianism becomes a rotten shroud.

As a utilitarian, Zhu Cixuan was not interested in the superstructure of "philosophy" in the past and after two lives. In his previous lives, not understanding philosophy did not affect his leadership of the team to create profits, but for a national leader, his attitude towards philosophy is crucial.

Now there is only one option in front of Zhu Cilang: Confucianism.

By the Ming Dynasty, Chinese philosophy had long been passed down from its inheritance, and all ideas that could be exploited were absorbed into the gate of Confucianism. What Zhu Cilang could do was to choose within Confucianism, Guanxue, Jinxue, Yangmingxue... and many schools of mind.

In Zhu Cilang's opinion, although these Confucian schools have great differences, they have no obvious obstacles to their new Ming Dynasty construction, and it doesn't matter which school will become a prominent school.

The only problem is the attitude of Confucianism towards the secular masses.

If the biggest problem in Confucianism lies in Confucius's "Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you."

Confucian scholars themselves do not want to be "fools" or "villains", so they do not want others to become "fools" or "villains", and they wish that everyone in the world will become Yao and Shun.

This looks tall and domineering, but it is actually very domineering.

First of all, they are the people who define gentlemen, villains, wise and unworthy standards. Secondly, what kind of person to choose to become is determined by the living environment and experience of each natural person. It is immoral to make a moral judgment in itself. Finally, there are all kinds of birds and beasts in nature, and there are large and small parts in machines. This is the general law of things. Why do we have to be sages and gentlemen when we reach human society?

It is precisely because of this idea that after Confucianism flourished, it is better to choose people with strong abilities to be officials than to choose people with "political qualifications" to be officials. Facts have proved that outstanding philosophers and writers in history may not all become qualified affairs officials.

Although Liu Zongzhou was not proficient in official language, this issue could also be regarded as a philosophical problem. He thought for a moment in his mind and said, "If the kingship prevails and the world is harmonious, everyone is a gentleman and wise man, it is certainly our ambition."

Zhu Cilang shook his head: "Mr. Liu, gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Is that right?"

"A gentleman sees his birth but cannot bear to see his death. This is why he stays away from the kitchen." Liu Zongzhou replied.

"If everyone is like this, who will cook?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

Liu Zongzhou said chokingly and said to himself: If he reaches this level of education, even eating vegetarian food will make people happy.

"So I think there should be yin and yang in this world, and it cannot be extreme." Zhu Cilang said: "As the emperor, I am the emperor, I am following the will of heaven. I dare not do it against the will of heaven. Allocating funds and publishing newspapers are all small problems. But I hope to see Confucianism return to the Tang Dynasty."

"Tang?" Liu Zongzhou was stunned.

The Tang Dynasty had Li Er as his ancestor and Taoism was the national religion. Taoism was prevalent, and many Taoist rituals and theories were matured in the Tang Dynasty. Although Confucianism was still a prominent scholar in the world, the country selected officials based on poetry. The influence of Confucianism was limited to a small number of elite intellectuals, such as Han and Liu.

"Your Majesty is going to destroy the Confucian scholars!" Liu Zongzhou's thin body trembled.

Zhu Cixuan stared at the master and said, "I only hope that the people can live and work in peace and prosperity, and the Ming Dynasty will flourish. Confucianism in the Tang and Song dynasties had the least constraints on the lives of the people..."

"The Tang Dynasty was still the time when the Middle Ages were ignorant. There were Song and Cheng and Zhuzi's culture. When it came to our dynasty's great achievements in Neo-Confucianism, this was the meaning of the rapid development of university and the achievements of our dynasty's enlightenment and education! How could Your Majesty do things in a rebellious way? Instead, it was the Tang Dynasty's first!" Liu Zongzhou actually interrupted the emperor's speech and robbed the white papers in a round.

Zhu Cixuan immediately discovered his mistake: he actually went to discuss the issue of faith with a crazy believer.

"Sir, do you know about Hai Rui's daughter?" Zhu Cixuan changed the example.

Hai Rui's daughter was only five years old and was scolded by Hai Rui because she accepted the cake given by the male servant in the family. According to rumors, Hai Rui did over-speak with his five-year-old daughter, and said that "if you can starve to death, you will be my daughter." So the five-year-old child really just cried, refused to eat, and eventually starved to death.

Liu Zongzhou obviously heard of this story, but was so angry that he laughed.

"Your Majesty blames the extreme things that are done by extreme people on the holy school, which is ridiculous!" Liu Zongzhou bit his back teeth and had already made up his mind to do it for his life, and he also wanted to give it a direct advice from the emperor.

"Hai Rui was learned from the wilderness and was only a filial and honest person for life, and his classics were not well understood. How could he be called a Confucian?" Liu Zongzhou first fundamentally denied Hai Rui's identity as a Confucian, and then said: "This man humiliated Yongling and lost his body as a minister. It can be seen that his nature is rude. His daughter went on a hunger strike until she died because of her father's reprimand, and she can be said to follow her father! If she was fortunate to be taught by the holy teachings, she should know that this was to put her father in an unrighteous manner, which was a great unfilial piety!"

After Liu Zongzhou said this, Zhu Cilang suddenly thought of a news story in his previous life: A 12-year-old girl in a certain place actually jumped off a building after being scolded by a teacher.

If Hai Rui's daughter was "eat" by ethics, then who would eat this girl jumping off the building? Another 21st century in time and space has long since lost ethics.

So Liu Zongzhou said that this was Hainu who inherited her father's extreme personality, and it seemed difficult to refute it.

"Your Majesty, Zeng Shen is a filial son, and his father Zeng Chen once used a wooden vertebrae to thrust his head, almost dead." Liu Zongzhou saw that the emperor was speechless, slowed down his tone, as if he was teaching a Meng Chiang: "Confucius was very dissatisfied with Zeng Zi's unaware of his escape, and was not allowed to enter the school to receive his career..."

Zhu Cilang couldn't help but feel trembling. This is the "text" he learned when he was five years old in his life!

The story of Zeng Zi receiving a stick is recorded in "The Words of Confucius". The specific content is that Zeng Zi injured the seedlings while working, and his father Zeng Chen hit him with a big stick. Zeng Zi was originally a filial son. He was willing to be punished because he did something wrong and was beaten to the ground and shocked. He woke up after a long time.

After Zengzi woke up, he first apologized to his father, and taught him a lesson because he did something wrong. Then Zengzi played the piano and sang, indicating that he was not seriously injured and did not worry his parents.

The neighbors all thought this was a true filial son and were greatly surprised.

Confucius was very angry after he found out and refused to let Zeng Shen enter the school. Zeng Shen was very frightened and could only ask other students to ask for advice.

So Confucius told the story of Shun.

When Shun's father, Yuu, needed Shun, he could serve him in time; but when Yuu was about to kill Shun, he never found him. In this way, Yuu did not commit the sin of being unkind as a father. Shun not only preserved his father's reputation, but also fulfilled his duty as a son.

But now, the father who served him did not know how to care about his body and easily endured his father's anger, and would not avoid him even if he died. If he really died, wouldn't he betray his father for being unrighteous? How could he be more unfilial than this?

After hearing this, Zeng Shen naturally deeply regretted his "death crime of unfilial piety".

Zhu Cilang finally learned the level of a great master. He was the one who could make people speechless with the simplest truth and stories.

At this moment, Zhu Cilang thought of Master Guo again, and this feeling was the same every time he listened to Master Guo’s reasoning. However, Master Guo was like the sun in winter, while Liu Zongzhou was like the sun in summer, which made people unable to look directly at it.

"Your Majesty, just look at Hai Rui's daughter, should Confucianism be prosperous?" Liu Zongzhou asked in a step forward, quite a bit bachelor.

The master wants to live. No one can stop him!

Zhu Cilang laughed dryly and said, "This principle is very correct. Adults and children should not be extreme. However, if the Confucianism has too much status, it will starve to death for a chastity arch..."

"Do your Majesty know where the most archways in the world?" Liu Zongzhou interrupted Zhu Cixuan again.

Zhu Cixuan has never been so passive since his rebirth. He was disobedient by Feng Shikong and others in Shaanxi, and he was able to vent his temper openly. But now he is obviously unreasonable, and his wife and children are behind him, and the historian is indecisive. He still has to worry about his image, which is really a bit frustrating.

"Don't your Majesty know? I know." Liu Zongzhou said: "There are at most archways in the world, but Gusu. I have visited the land, and there are 123 archways, including more than 100 archways in imperial examinations, high-ranking officials, merits, loyalty and filial piety, and ancestral temples. There are only a handful of chastity archways. Is Your Majesty worried that chastity archways are tempting and extreme, or is it dissatisfied with the rare chastity archways now?"

In fact, Zhu Cilang didn't even look at the archway carefully. Liu Zongzhou listed the numbers and presented the facts, which made it quite difficult to get off the stage.

"As for chastity and starvation..." Liu Zongzhou slowed down after winning: "The so-called 'starving death is small, and loss of integrity is big' is to respond to a certain son's question to sharpen his personality. Isn't it a general discussion? Nowadays, common men and women think that they have obtained the purpose of Cheng Zi, which is a disaster for Confucianism to not prosper!"

"Hahaha." Zhu Cilang was worried about the trap below. Based on the creed that it was better to be silent than to be silent, he decided to keep silent.

The historian stood behind the two, sweating profusely and his back was wet.
