Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 408 Qin Huai Enlightenment
Why is Zhu Laowu so angry?
It is the so-called cause and effect.Everything starts from the day when Fang Xiaoru, a "big talent", worshiped Zhu Su as his teacher.

Let's say that Fang Xiaoru was originally a scholar of letters and a favorite student of the great Confucian Song Lian.Who is Song Lian?A few years ago, he received the emperor's order to teach the crown prince and other princes to learn the scriptures. Regardless of his reputation, prestige, and knowledge, he is a top-notch Confucian among scholars.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, Song Lian will be the teacher of the Ming Emperor, the first Wenzong of the Ming Dynasty.

Fang Xiaoru, who is Song Lian's beloved disciple, is naturally admired by the stars and is a figure who has attracted the attention of many students.Such a person actually worshiped Zhu Su, the fifth son of the emperor, as his teacher. At that time, there was a great commotion among Yingtian scholars.

However, the turmoil subsided after a few months.After all, His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness is talented in poetry, and his poems such as "Linjiang Immortal" are indeed unmatched.As the saying goes, there must be my teacher when three people walk together. It is a good story that Fang Dacai learns poetry from his teacher Ruzi.

But reciting poems and writing lyrics, left and right are just ways of pastime, and the real way must be articles of classics and righteousness.As for His Majesty's Confucianism...

Those few lines of "Yuanyu" were once said to be the jokes of the day. No one thought that Fang Xiaoru could learn any real talents from Zhu Su.

They didn't know that although Fang Xiaoru did study poetry at first, Zhu Su soon diverted his attention with some small scientific experiments.Originally, Fang Xiaoru still had a slight contempt for Zhu Su's ability in his heart.Then, after seeing the power of science, he quickly regarded this little majesty as a real genius.

However, he also had doubts.When Zhu Su was teaching science, he once said the four words "searching things to gain knowledge": through bold assumptions, careful verification, looking at the contradictions of affairs with a scientific perspective, and verifying the truth of things through continuous experiments.

Investigating things is a Confucian concept. Why is the so-called "investigating things to gain knowledge" so different from the sage Zhu Xi's "Grassing Wu Qiong Li"?
With the continuous learning of science, Fang Xiaoru has more and more doubts.The sages once said that "the sky is round and the earth is round", but His Royal Highness said that the earth under your feet is round, not square; The principle of everything.Why did His Royal Highness say that there are thousands of ways of science, one must seek truth from facts, and one cannot simply use "philosophical" principles to speculate on scientific issues?
With this doubt about his ancestors, Fang Xiaoru continued to study with the intention of criticizing Zhu Su.However, he soon discovered that the scientific method of investigating things is almost irrefutable.His Highness the Fifth Highness was right, it was the sages who were wrong!

Like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, Fang Xiaoru's "Confucianism" has not yet been strengthened.It was completely split.

It's okay if that's all, but Fang Xiaoru is a disciple of Confucianism after all, and he is more curious about the practical learning of "science".On the contrary, Fang Xiaoru expressed great interest in the "philosophy" that His Royal Highness said!

Confucianism is a study of human mind and nature, and it can also be called a kind of "philosophy".If what the sages said was wrong, what should be the true philosophy?
Facing Fang Xiaoru's entanglement, Zhu Su was very annoyed.Different people have different opinions on philosophy, and he couldn't explain why.

Moreover, the "philosophy" that Fang Xiaoru wants to know is a kind of state governance that is biased towards Confucianism. What is the state governance of later generations?Is it possible to teach him communism?
However, Fang Xiaoru would not listen even if he refused. Zhu Su had no choice but to prevaricate all the Yangming psychology, Western philosophy, and even chicken soup for the soul that he knew, and all kinds of inscrutable sentences that he could remember. Fang Xiaoru.

What are "nothing outside the heart", "everyone can be a sage", "material development is a process of constant struggle and continuous development of contradictions"...

All kinds of things were thrown to him.

So Fang Xiaoru was dumbfounded.

After Zhu Su left, Fang Xiaoru locked himself in the room, and began to ponder these classic "classical articles" from later generations one by one.In fact, many of these things in philosophy are contradictory in themselves. After all, some are materialistic and some are idealistic. No matter what, they cannot be self-consistent.

But it seems that they are all so reasonable and can withstand further investigation...

The more Fang Xiaoru studied, the more confused he became; the more confused he was, the more profound he felt; the more profound he felt, the more he focused on studying...

The logic closed loop belongs to yes.

Fang Xiaoru forgot to sleep and eat, just felt that he was really muddleheaded before, although he touched the threshold of the great road, he still couldn't move forward.A few months later, a friendly scholar saw him disheveled, so he took him to go boating on the Qinhuai River to relax, and unexpectedly met several students who were talking loudly about Zhu Zi's learning to courteous prostitutes on the boat.

Everyone listened to it like drinking alcohol; Fang Xiaoru listened to it like chewing cow dung!

So the angry Fang Xiaoru got up immediately and yelled at these students that what they learned was not the right way.At that time, most of the scholars in the world were those who studied Zhu Zi's articles. How could they not be shocked and angry when they heard the rebellious words of this Zi?

So Fang Xiaoru fought against the Confucians on the Qinhuai River.His set of theories cannot be self-consistent at all, but every sentence is very reasonable, and for each sentence of the "sages", he can find out the philosophical viewpoints that are contrary to it.

The two sides are at war with each other, but no one can do anything to the other.

In the end, more and more Confucian scholars stopped citing the principles of the sages and directly attacked Fang Xiaoru himself, saying that what he said was inconsistent and that he had fallen into evil ways.Some people urged Fang Xiaoru, the former number one talented scholar, to quickly admit his mistakes and apologize to the sages, and should not have blasphemed the saint's article.

Unexpectedly, Fang Xiaoru at this time has already fallen into the magic barrier of cognition. Seeing so many people open their mouths to be saints and shut their mouths to sages, they are blessed to the heart and come up with a "reason".

"There is no holy way, how can there be a saint!"

Seeing so many vulgar people who only know how to repeat the words of sages and sages, but refuse to think for themselves, Fang Xiaoru yelled out these eight words.Expresses disdain for the so-called sage's learning and the words of the sages, and contempt for all scholars today.

Qin Huai realized that it was right for Cixi to go to war with the world.

Seeing Fang Xiaoru denying the whole of Confucianism, all the Confucian scholars were stunned, and then Fang Xiaoru fell into the verbal criticism of all Confucian scholars.

Everyone said that Fang Xiaoru had been taught to go crazy, and even Zhu Su, the "culprit who ruined a good seedling", was also accused by Ying Tianshilin.

Fang Xiaoru was not afraid, and even made a big fanfare in Yingtian City, arguing with Confucian scholars several times, not shy away from preaching "philosophy" wantonly, and always insisting that the inconsistencies in his comprehension are because he has not learned enough profound.

When my teacher returns, he will surely refute all of you and other Zhu Zi's answerers to the ground!
"What the hell...it really is Jianwen three idiots, Shi Shucheng will not deceive me!"

Zhu Su, who learned about this from Zhu Biao, was dumbfounded!
I was still worried about whether I would smash the porridge and rice in the Confucian bowl. This guy has already blown the entire Confucian pot away in the name of his disciple!

what is this?This is the master and traitor!
