Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Seven: The Way of the King

After receiving Fang Jifan's guarantee, everyone was determined. Novel.

Fang Jifan is quite reliable.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be relieved, and his face relaxed a little, saying, "So, there is no need to distribute the relief money and grain from Ningbo Prefecture, it's good..."

Since this matter has been explained, Fang Jifan has nothing to do with him. As he said that, Fang Jifan took his leave.

After Fang Jifan left, Emperor Hongzhi paused, "Please see the King of Korea, what do you think?"

Although in later film and television dramas, it seems that whenever the dynasty is held, the monarch and ministers are extremely formal. Often hundreds or thousands of people gather together to discuss national affairs with a clear understanding.

But in fact, the monarch and ministers are also human beings, and this is only true in court discussions. And almost hundreds or thousands of people gather together, but in fact, nothing can be discussed.

Any power operation will run in a small circle!

"I have something to report." The person who spoke was Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, said: "Recently, there are great scholars, Wen Su ministers..."

Wen Suchen…

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have some impression: "Is it Wen Suchen who wrote "Su He Fu"?"

“That’s right!”

Liu Jian and others were all silent.

This person is a famous scholar and is very prestigious in the Jiangnan area.

It is said that he came to Beijing a few years ago and taught Chengcheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism in Beijing. He accused the court of tyrants, and was strong and powerful in the Buddhist masters, and had a prominent reputation.

Zhang Sheng, Minister of Rites, continued: "Recently, he criticized Xinxue, saying that he wanted to discuss the pros and cons with Fang Jifan."

"Oh." Emperor Hongzhi nodded, not seeming to care too much.

"Fang Jifan didn't even mention it. It is expected that Fang Jifan just treated him as a joke."

"Fang Jifan probably didn't know." Liu Jian smiled and said, "To be honest, Wen Suchen may not dare to debate with Fang Jifan."

"Why?" Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised: "Can Fang Jifan eat people?"

"I can't eat people." Zhang Sheng looked at Emperor Hongzhi deeply: "But he can beat people..."

Suddenly, everyone suddenly realized.

This is not surprising.

No wonder no major incident happened after the emergence of the new school!

Logically speaking, this is a bit inconsistent with the usual phenomenon! None of the great scholars of Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism jumped out and cursed the other party Jifan!

If it were in the past, there would have been no idea that many great scholars and famous scholars would compete with the new theories.

After all, great scholars still make a living by reasoning, but if there is no reason, they will just slap them with a big ear before they can speak. Although the other party may be notorious, they will lose all their temper.

"I think what they are trying to be arguing with Wang Shouren, so it is true that they secretly criticize Fang Jifan as a false one, and that their disciple Wang Shouren accepts the provocation."

Emperor Hongzhi immediately understood.

Zhang Sheng continued: "Wang Shouren is Fang Jifan's most complimentary disciple. Fang Jifan said on many occasions that Wang Shouren can be said to have obtained all the true teachings of Fang Jifan. If Wang Shouren could make Wang Shouren speechless, then Wen Suchen's purpose would be achieved. Since Wang Shouren was a disciple of Fang Jifan, how could he be humiliated? He would definitely argue with him. However, Wen Suchen was a great scholar of the world. Wang Shouren was young and would definitely not be his opponent."

Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile: "Oh."

He was a little interested in this, but at the same time, he was quite disliked Wen Suchen's plan.

However, great scholars have always been like this. If they could use the east wind of debating Wang Shouren, their reputation as a minister would become more and more prominent.

"There is another thing..." Speaking of this, Zhang Sheng glanced at Liu Jian: "Wen Suchen seems to have criticized Liu Jie, the juren."

This time, Liu Jian still looked calm.

He has been criticized by many great scholars, and it can be said that he is used to it, but his son has been scolded for no reason. Although he has no expression, he is slightly dissatisfied.

"Although Liu Jie made great contributions, it is said that when he came to Tianjin Wei, Liu Jie was very arrogant to the King of Korea Li Yi. Li Yi was the lord of a country. My great Ming virtue was the world. Wen Suchen believed that Liu Jie, a new scholar, was disrespectful to Li Yi, and was domineering, and deviated from the original intention of our Ming Dynasty to implement the kingly way. If it was spread, it would be laughed at by all countries in all directions."

The kingly way and domineering way were discussed and even had fierce confrontations between Confucian scholars during the Han Dynasty.

Wen Suchen had a very good entry point. He took Liu Jie's arrogant treatment of North Korea's King Li Yi as the entry point, accusing Liu Jie of no longer having the etiquette of hospitality since he learned from Wang Soushen. This is actually a question that Xinxue seems to want to repeat the mistakes of Gongyang's theory.

Gongyang Academy in the Han Dynasty once used the banner of "the emperor's title", which was both the emperor and the title, and was not the incarnation of heaven. It also introduced the "heaven and man's sense", believing that if the disasters were caused by heaven were closely related to the emperor's behavior, such as the collapse of the earth, it may be because the emperor lost his virtue.

After that, there were "great unification", "disputes between the barbarians and the Xia", etc.

Of course, there is another idea, which is the idea of ​​‘Great Revenge’.

The most typical example is that in the interpretation of "The Book of Gongyang" at that time, it praised the idea of ​​revenge in the text of "Spring and Autumn". For example, when Qi destroyed Ji State, many people thought that Qi State's approach was wrong. The reason was that although there was a grudge between Qi State and Ji State, it was an old thing a hundred years ago. You can't kill the whole family just because everyone had grudges a hundred years ago.

Therefore, the explanation in "The Legend of Gongyang" is like this: Can you still take revenge in the nine generations? The answer is: Even if it is a hundred generations, it is possible.

Qi destroyed Ji Kingdom, which was a manifestation of dominance, but it was strongly supported by the Gongyang School. It was avenged with all revenge and it was extremely advocated that public revenge would be revenged. This is their characteristic.

After the generations, it is actually domineering.

Of course, in the end, Gongyang Science completely declined.

Therefore, the ideas of "Great Unification" and other ideas have been passed down. Although the theory of "God of Heaven and Man" is no longer advocated, it still leaves remnants in Confucianism. This domineering idea of ​​"Great Revenge" was completely thrown into the garbage dump by later Confucian scholars.

As for the "Son of Emperor's First Journey", he hated it deeply and was replaced by the monarch, minister and minister.

Domineering is the characteristic of Gongyang Studies.

This is why Wen Suchen criticized Liu Jie with his domineering attitude and used it to criticize Xinxue.

This is clearly because I want to turn my new school to Gongyang School.

But Gongyang Studies has actually been weak for thousands of years, and it is so pitiful that it was pulled out to whip the corpse at this time.

But there are indeed many of its thoughts that are intolerable by the court today. Let’s not talk about great revenge, what the hell is the response of heaven and man? Today, a land collapse will be said to the emperor’s loss of virtue. If there is a heavy rain tomorrow, it will be a warning from God. What are your emperor doing? If there is a drought in the future, then it will be even more lacking in virtue.

What I really can't tolerate is the "Emperor's First Journey". The emperor and the vassal kings, even like Fang Jifan, are all kind of titles. However, this title is relatively high-end. Emperor Hongzhi has a good temper and will not make a sound even if he doesn't like it. If Emperor Taizu Gao was still alive, he would definitely raise a blade to kill all the blind Bibi people and flow into a river of blood.

Sure enough, Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly.

He did not like Gongyang Academy, so he naturally did not like the domineering idea of ​​great revenge. Of course, no emperor would like to "resonate with heaven and man" or "one title of emperor".

Liu Jian said seriously: "Nonsense."

Zhang Sheng said kindly: "This is what Wen Suchen said, and I am just reporting the truth."

In the warm chalet, there was silence.

Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Liu Jie made great contributions. He is really proud of his achievements all the way back?"

"This..." Zhang Sheng hesitated, not knowing how to answer. Obviously, judging from the rewards brought by the Ministry of Rites to welcome the host, Liu Jie did have many rude things.

Seeing that he hesitated and did not answer, Emperor Hongzhi understood, looked at Liu Jian, and said lightly: "He is still young..."

In fact, he is no longer young, he is older than Emperor Hongzhi.

But Emperor Hongzhi still bit Liu Jie to death, which was actually to hide his shame for Liu Jian. So he said again: "Everyone has a time to be confused, so just pay attention to it in the future. King Li Yi of Korea should be a good hospitality and be a guest. I will do the kingly way, govern the world with virtue, and make peace with the Gentiles with courtesy, so that he does not have to worry about anything."

After saying that, he pondered for a while and said, "As for this Wen Suchen, he is just a sensationalist, so he doesn't have to pay attention to it."

It is obvious that I want to make Xinxue lean on Gongyangxue.

But Gongyang Studies has long been abandoned and cannot be revived.

Not to mention that the current scholars can no longer accept their views, even the court cannot accept them.

Emperor Hongzhi naturally knew the new school's proposal, so he was very disliked Wen Suchen.

However, Liu Jian did not relax because of Emperor Hongzhi's protection.

Your Majesty can certainly understand his son, but the readers are so good at speaking.

Thinking of this, his heart sank, and it turns out that the big tree attracted the wind.

After thinking about it, Liu Jian said, "The whole story is here. The old minister will definitely ask the ministers after he goes home."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said, "He has worked very hard all the way in Korea. I just came back. You don't have to blame him, otherwise I will blame you."

Liu Jian naturally understood that Emperor Hongzhi was defending him in this matter. He looked at Emperor Hongzhi with gratitude and said, "I obey the order."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "Speak for some happy things. Now, how are the Japanese pirates pacified?"

The Minister of War Ma Wensheng has been chewing on the comments just now. As a gentleman of the Hongzhi Dynasty, he has always paid more attention to the matters in the scholars!
