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

Chapter 418

After saying these words, Lao Zhu nodded frequently.He already knew that in the future, Daming would be plagued by natural disasters as it stepped into the "little ice age".If it is according to the old Confucianism, doesn't this mean that Daming did something wrong, so the celestial phenomena warn?
There will even be shameless thieves who will interpret the natural disaster as Daming's loss of destiny, and use this to make trouble, it is unknown.

"Then 'respect the king and fight against the barbarians', what do you mean?" Lao Zhu gradually entered the state.

"The so-called 'respect the king and fight against the barbarians' is actually a slogan put forward by Guan Zhong to Duke Huan of Qi in the past." Zhu Su said. "But he is more than that. Just look at the Zhou rituals advocated by Confucius, and look at its core, isn't it also the four words 'respect the king and fight against the barbarians'?"

"Respecting the king means paying attention to rules and knowing loyalty, filial piety and righteousness. Repelling barbarians is the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period. It is as pioneering and aggressive as it was in the Zhou Dynasty."

"Respecting the king can replace the so-called 'response between heaven and man', explaining the respect of the emperor. Repelling the barbarians can divert the attention of the literati, and transfer their energy from fighting for power internally to making progress externally. According to this set of sayings, anyone who does not respect the emperor , Those who are obsessed with fighting for power and profit can all be treated as villains with ulterior motives and no virtue."

"And all of these are based on the original scriptures of Confucius, and acted based on the original intention of the Master to respect the Zhou rituals. Among the literati, it also occupies the commanding heights of righteousness."

"I see." Old Zhu lightly clasped the white marble coffee table in the gazebo.After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth again: "Then tell me, fifth. If this is the case, will someone use the rituals of Zhou to talk about things again, and use the rules of the rituals of Zhou to try to restrain our future emperors?"

Zhu Biao on the side also showed uneasiness.Zhu Su was about to answer, but Empress Ma smiled and said, "Chong Ba, you forgot, Xiao Wu'er just said, 'Practice the world' and 'Ming Confucianism sees nature'."

"There is a thousand-year separation between Zhouli and today. If the principles of that time were transferred to the present, wouldn't it be a rote application? Disregarding the current reality and not thinking about the original intention of the master, it violated both the 'applicability of the world' and the 'confucianism of the Ming Dynasty'." '."

"To put it bluntly, to understand the degree to which the original intention of the master and the meaning of the Zhou etiquette have reached, and how can it be considered as 'applicable to the world' and 'understanding the nature of Confucianism', isn't it just a matter of what you, the founding emperor, said?"

Old Zhu suddenly realized, and Zhu Su also expressed admiration.He can't say some things outright, he can only mention them from the side.But Empress Ma is all right.He directly named Zhu Su's original intention: the so-called restoration of the original Confucianism is actually just to manipulate Confucianism according to Lao Zhu's expectations!

This was originally not an academic event, but an outright political event.What Old Zhu wanted Zhu Su to do was to ask him to find a way to reform Confucianism so that it could meet Old Zhu's own political expectations.

However, Zhu Su's proposals of restoring the original Confucianism, "practicing the world", and "seeing the nature of Ming Confucianism" are actually all pretexts.Whether it is respecting the king and fighting the barbarians, or taking the Zhou rituals, the essence is to serve the Ming emperor.The reason why Confucius' original thought is used is also because it is extremely flexible, and there is no such messy rules and regulations.

It is equivalent to snatching the final interpretation of Confucianism from the hands of the scholar-bureaucrats and holding it in the hands of the old Zhu family emperor!

"Okay! That's great!" Lao Zhu walked around a few steps, and suddenly laughed out loud, very carefree. "What a man of the times, what a man of Confucianism!"

"Respect the king, fight against the barbarians... Good! Lift your spirits! This is the knowledge that our Daming should have. Sister, fifth child, we have been taught by you two today!" After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but feel happy, and looked up Head laughed.

"Don't make any mistakes. The voice is similar to that of a wild boar. Your grandson was woken up by you." Empress Ma gave Lao Zhu a look, and Lao Zhu stopped laughing abruptly, leaning over to tease the quilt in Empress Ma's arms. Zhu Xiongying woke up.Seeing this scene, the two brothers Zhu Su and Zhu Biao looked at each other and smiled.

"Use Kong Laoer's argument to deal with the civil servants and Confucian scholars... Fifth, you are really capable." Seeing that Zhu Xiongying fell asleep with his thumb in his mouth again, Old Zhu turned his head and smiled at Zhu Su, but his voice was abrupt It was lowered a lot, and Zhu Su couldn't help laughing.

"I think your method is feasible. It sounds reasonable enough, and it can wipe out all the bad habits of civil servants." Old Zhu said.

"Actually, it's just the beginning. The next step is how to promote it." Zhu Su said. "It is not a day's work to spread ideas and persuade scholars all over the world."

"In this regard, we still need to proceed step by step."

"How can we progress step by step?" Lao Zhu waved his hand, "We don't want to wait for a moment, and we can't wait to spread this knowledge to the world."

"By the way, boss, just now Mao Xiang reported that the civil servants are going to get together. What kind of literary meeting will be held?"

"Yes." Zhu Biao replied after hearing the words. "Commander Mao just said that great Confucian scholars will give lectures at Qixia Temple on the seventh day of the next lunar month, discussing Confucianism and Taoism."

"It also said that a regulation should be formed to spread culture and education."

"Hmph, what lectures?" Old Zhu snorted. "It's just that we asked you to work in the Imperial College, and they were upset and deliberately tripped us up."

"Thinking of setting up another stove, and wooing the Confucian scholars in the Imperial College."

"Fifth, you will go to the Wenhui too! Be sure to refute that screwball!"

"We want them to know what Confucius really meant!"

Old Zhu's majestic and serious face rarely showed a treacherous expression.It seems that he is very interested in using Confucius' words to refute Confucian disciples.But Zhu Su had a beeping expression on his face: "Uh, dad, are you... asking me to mess with the civil servants?"

"My reputation among civil servants is not good. If I do this again, those people will have to tear me apart?"

"It's better to be on the safe side. You first order to start with the Imperial College, and then slowly..."

"Slow, why slow. The Ming Dynasty will perish in more than 200 years!" Lao Zhu stared. "We still need ink marks, we can't wait."

"Besides, let's make an order to change schools... Is it our knowledge, or yours? We still expect you, kid, to be the first sage of our old Zhu family!"

Seeing Lao Zhu's attitude, Zhu Su rolled his eyes.

It's as if Daming is going to die tomorrow.Well, it seems that in this case, you have to kick it if you kick it, or you have to kick it if you don't kick it.

When Yao Guangxiao left, he also told him to keep a low profile. Unexpectedly, just after he returned to Beijing, he was chased away by Lao Zhu and put on the shelves.

However, Zhu Su did not dislike dealing with civil servants.What's more, it is easier to think, and it can also help the dissemination of science.After all, today's Confucianism and scientific thought are against each other, and today's Confucianism does not need such an academic existence as science that can impact Confucianism.

If you don't change your thinking first, even if you try your best to develop science in this life, you may end up like Zhang Juzheng's New Deal. After your death, the science that has finally made progress will be backlashed by these outdated Confucianism, and you will end up dying. end.

First add sand to Confucianism, and when they perceive the threat of science, they will be powerless to care about it.

"I can go, but no matter what you do, you can't blame me." Zhu Su put forward conditions to Lao Zhu.
