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

Chapter 412 How does Your Highness want to transform the scholars of the world?
When meeting Zhu Su's kings for the first time in Dahontang, Zhu Su used the phrase "a husband's selfishness is the heart of a man" to let Fang Xiaoru, who only knew how to quote Zhu Zi's words, bow down.Fang Xiaoru lacks thoughtfulness in learning, because of this, Song Lian is well aware of it.

In fact, it can also be seen in the later history: although Fang Xiaoru has read a lot of books, he works behind closed doors, blindly yearning for the so-called "prosperous age of Zhou" in the book, and Zhu Yunqi, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others, trying to rule the country with the principles in the book, Regardless of the actual situation of Ming Dynasty at that time, he insisted on respecting the Zhou rituals and playing "retro".

Then the car overturned, and Jianwen Sansha kicked the accelerator, took away his master Zhu Yunqi, and left the world to Yongle Emperor Zhu Di.

But if you think about it with your head, these four idiots can't do such a thing.

If you learn a lot, you will learn a lot, but if you lose your mind, you will lose your thinking.

But Fang Xiaoru in this world line encountered the "philosophy" given to him by Zhu Su before he started to crazily admire Zhou Li.Because of learning these fresh philosophies, his trust in Confucianism, which is actually Neo-Confucianism, was shaken, and because of the lack of "speculative" ability, he fell into the shackles of his own thoughts.

It is impossible to eliminate the false and preserve the true, and only know that it is ignorant to veto Confucianism, but it cannot form its own thoughts.

"So that's it!" After listening to Zhu Su's serious analysis, Song Lian suddenly realized: It turns out that His Royal Highness already knew that most of these are fallacies, and he deliberately used these extremely deceptive words to Fang Xiaoru, asking him to To think, to experience, to understand who is right and wrong.So as to "speculate" your own thoughts.

Let him step into a new realm, instead of just following the scriptures.

Thinking about it again, although the "Yuanyu" written by His Highness in the Dahontang earlier seems absurd, in fact, isn't it expressing contempt for comparing the text and Xuanke, implicitly pointing out the importance of "self-thinking"?

As long as it is obtained by one's own thinking, even if it is such absurd and vulgar "Yuanyu", it is much better than copying Zhu Zi's annotations and Ercheng's annotations!

Your Highness has such deep intentions, I have never noticed it!
"Your Majesty is well-intentioned, I am ashamed of myself!" Song Lian bowed to Zhu Su in a dignified manner.If he was full of resentment towards Zhu Su when he first came, by this time, it had become full of respect and admiration. "It's Xizhi who is mediocre in learning and can't be cultivated... His Highness wasted all his painstaking efforts, and His Highness fell into dire straits."

"It's the same for the old minister. He taught poorly and misidentified good people. He wanted to question His Highness earlier... I'm really ashamed..." The guilt in Song Lian's tone could not be added.

"Master Song has a great reputation. As long as Master Song can explain a thing or two to me among the scholars, I will be full of gratitude." Zhu Laowu was at a loss at this time.If Song Lian is willing to stand up for himself, then his literary popularity, which was defeated by Fang Xiaoru, can be restored to some extent.

"That's natural!" Song Lian said. "Your Highness is so talented and knowledgeable, how can it be concealed from the world? The old minister will definitely spread His Highness's true meaning to the public, so that scholars all over the world will know His Highness's painstaking efforts."

"Although the 'philosophy' mentioned by His Highness is weird, it is the best way to guide students to think. If you can't know the truth of the truth, how can you pursue the Dao?"

"Uh, what Master Song said is really..." Zhu Su forced a smile. Song Lian wanted to use his influence to spread those philosophical principles to a great extent, so that it would be no harm for scholars all over the world to think about it.It’s just that most of those ideas are extremely deceptive, and even the most ridiculous thing like “subjective idealism” has been able to deceive many people in history, making those believers firmly believe that the world is constructed by the fantasy of their hearts from.

If you really throw these things among the literati, I'm afraid that the literary world of Ming Dynasty will soon become a debate, and there will never be peace.

But this is also good. It can not only divide the power of literati, but also drag "Confucianism", which is now the dominant thought in Confucianism, into the abyss of "speculation".It can even tell for the court who is pragmatic and who is not.At least those who believe in crap like subjective idealism are absolutely not allowed to enter the officialdom.

"But before that, the old minister has to wake up that idiot Xi Zhi." Song Lian sighed. "Although Xizhi is not smart, he was once the most proud disciple of the old minister after all."

"The old minister really doesn't want him to fall into this obsession, unable to extricate himself. Since he has no ability to learn from everyone, let him follow His Highness, lead the horse, and spread ideas for His Highness."

"If it's just learning and spreading the word, Xi Zhi is still competent."

Zhu Su nodded. To be honest, he just pointed out the Neo-Confucian thought to Song Lian, and it is very likely that there were some mistakes and omissions, which violated the true meaning of Confucianism.But I haven't figured out what kind of thoughts I want to spread.After all, such things as thinking cannot be accomplished overnight. It must not only meet the needs of the future development of Ming Dynasty, but also be thorough enough to convince people with reason, which is even more difficult.

He has no clue.

But it doesn't hurt to let Song Lian wake up Fang Xiaoru first.As long as Song Lian pointed out the difference between Neo-Confucianism and Confucianism, and Zhu Su told him these philosophies, he deliberately wanted him to "speculate". ,

When Song Lian left, he was still rambling about the pity that Fang Xiaoru was unable to distinguish right from wrong with his own ability, understood Zhu Su's painstaking efforts, and returned empty-handed in Baoshan.If you can understand it by yourself, you may not be inferior to Zilu and Yan Hui in the future.To be awakened by others is, after all, a level behind.

It made Zhu Su feel embarrassed, and Song Lian praised him so much that he almost forgot that he was actually just rounding back the basket that Fang Xiaoru poked out...

Song Lian went to the back mountain to find Fang Xiaoru, leaving Liu Bowen here alone.Seeing that he had no intention of saying goodbye, Zhu Su was about to ask, but seeing Liu Bowen put down the teacup, he spoke before him.

"Your Highness, can I take a step to speak?"

Zhu Su was taken aback for a moment and nodded.He led Liu Bowen to the study, and said with a smile, "Master Liu, this place is quiet, what do you have to say, but it's fine."

"Hehe, Your Highness is being polite. Your Highness is so talented, how can I let you call him a teacher?" Liu Bowen's attitude was extremely respectful, even in his private room, he did not dare to overstep.After the politeness, his expression immediately turned serious, "The reason why I have the courage to ask is to ask Your Highness, how do you plan to reform the scholars of the world?"

Zhu Su was stunned, such a Liu Bowen, he saw through the essence of the matter at once.Seeing that he had spoken to persuade Song Lian to stay, Zhu Su thought that he was also shocked by the remarks he had made to persuade Song Lian earlier, and wanted to ask more questions.

Thinking about it, Liu Bowen is no better than Song Lian. Song Lian is just a scholar, and he will naturally feel enlightened because he broke through the shackles of learning.

Liu Bowen's talents are no less than those of past dynasties. He is a real pragmatic person like Lao Zhu.

People like them are different from Song Lian and others who study academically. What they have tacitly is another truth:
A saint's book is for reading.

It's useless for work!
