Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

In fact, Li Chen himself had no opinions on Confucianism.

Confucius' thoughts were really advanced.

If Confucianism is really not good, where can the Han and Tang Dynasties come from?

Seeing Kong Zhenyun being retorted, he was speechless.

Li Chen snorted and spoke again.

"Cultivate yourself, harmonize your family, govern the country and bring peace to the world..."

"How many of you juniors can do this!"

"Confucius, the one with the most powerful force! Among the 3000 disciples and 72 sages under his command, in addition to Zilu, who was very powerful in his own right, there was also Zigong, a ruthless man who [will make the princes fearful when he is angry, and live peacefully in the world]."

"Mencius, I was having a good debate in Jixia Academy, but the King of Qi insisted on letting him, an educator, help supervise the army in training."

"Xunzi himself may not be strong in martial arts, but most of his disciples are Legalists! They are a group of hard-nosed and lunatics."

"Ban Chao, the strongest Confucian scholar in the Han Dynasty, must be him."

"Li Bai was a master of both Confucianism and Taoism. He was a wine wizard in poetry and a swordsman in wine."

"Xin Qiji, I don't need to say much about this one, I understand everything."

"Wang Yangming, the bandit reaper! He is good at infantry warfare, cavalry warfare, formation warfare, mountain warfare, and water warfare. He is the nemesis of King Ning. He expresses the rebellion at the beginning of the month, and the last Confucian sage who puts down the rebellion in the middle of the month."

"Even Zhu Xi himself was a staunch fighter in the peaceful environment of the Southern Song Dynasty."

"Then when we got here... first Zhou Yanru tried to poison the emperor and succeeded once, and then Beikong's family took money and food to join the alien race."

"Kong Zhenyun, tell us, are today's Confucians still qualified to stand with these great Confucians?"

"Those who have a civil service must have military preparations; those who have a military service must have military preparations."

"What do you mean by this? Confucius himself said that martial virtue is the guarantee of morality. Without force, morality is just fart!"

"In the end, you guys treated all of this like farts?"

"The bloody nature of Confucianism and the integrity of Confucianism have been eaten by dogs!"

"Fuck Cheng and Zhu Li, just say one word here!"

"Great unification, great justice, great revenge!"

"What we want is the Confucianism of the Qin and Han dynasties who were able to bring peace to the world with their pens, and the Confucians who were able to use their horses to determine the world."

"If you can, stay, if you can't, get out!"

"We would rather let the Legalist military strategists dominate our thinking than let this distorted Confucian culture continue to poison the court!"

Having said this, Li Chen finally couldn't help but pull out his sword and stab it hard on the floor.

At this point, all that should be said and should not be said has been said.

His attitude is very clear: Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism must die, and Confucianism must also be reformed!

If you can’t change, then you will die!

There was total silence in the court hall.

Everyone is a Confucian student, so we can naturally understand the meaning and determination of His Majesty's words.

That is change!

Let Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism roll as far as they can!

"I didn't expect His Majesty to be a supporter of the Gongyang doctrine..."

"No wonder..."

"I should have thought of that earlier."

After a long while, Kong Zhenyun was kneeling on his knees before he sighed and spoke with a wry smile.

Great unification, great justice, great revenge.

Aren’t these the three cores of the Gongyang Sect of Confucianism?

The last person who strongly supported this faction was Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty Liu Che.

"No, we don't believe in Confucianism."

"What we do is the way of a king."

"If you insist on saying it, it is more in line with Taoism."

"Be kind and powerful at the same time, be a sage inside and a king outside, take revenge if you have any vengeance, and the world will be united."

"You should know that the Taoist Tao Te Ching is the true study of kings, while Confucianism is the study of ministers."

"The study of ministers needs to keep pace with the times, so Confucianism can only be a framework."

"Confucius has laid an extremely solid foundation for you and the entire Han family."

"What you need to do is to innovate instead of digging up the foundation and using it as a toilet!"

Li Chen shook his head, not shying away at all.

He pointed out the proper status of Confucianism very simply.

"It seems that the Beizong people have misjudged His Majesty from the very beginning."

"This is probably why there is such a big difference between His Majesty's reign before and after he ascends the throne."

"Before he ascended the throne, he was a minister, so he did not reject Confucianism, but everything changed after he ascended the throne."

Kong Zhenyun closed his eyes and was completely convinced.

Your Majesty has seen Confucianism so thoroughly, what else can he say?

The most important thing about Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was to restrain thoughts and further consolidate imperial power.

But now, the imperial power has said that they no longer want him, so how can he still have a place?

Tao Te Ching...

The people of Beizong will never guess until their death that His Majesty actually focuses on the Tao Te Ching...

No wonder they are more inclined to the Gongyang School of Confucianism.

Zhu Youjian, who was hiding in his body and did not dare to speak, suddenly blushed when he heard what Kong Zhenyun said.

exactly!

That's it~

You are right!

I was not fooled by Confucianism!

But Taizu is really powerful, and this operation is really watertight.

It's really not possible to leave it to him to relay it.

"Okay, now let's talk about destroying Confucianism."

"Huang Aiqing, tell us now."

"Should Confucianism be destroyed?"

Li Chen ignored Kong Zhenyun's emotion.

Instead, he turned to look at Huang Jin, who had been silent.

This old antique should understand.

"Destroy..."

"Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism has been completely distorted. You can disregard everyone for your own personal interests."

"If this continues, the ministers will scheming and scheming all day long, and the country will be ruined."

Huang Jin cupped his hands, his attitude now much more relaxed than before.

And his immediate decision made Wen Tiren and others breathe a sigh of relief.

Now everyone understands that what Your Majesty wants to destroy is Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism and not Confucianism itself.

Anyway, Gongyang theory is also a Confucian thing.

Isn't it just a matter of changing the direction? As long as Your Majesty does not destroy Confucianism, everything will be fine.

"No objection?"

Seeing Huang Jin being so straightforward, Li Chen couldn't help but smile.

Weren't you very aggressive before?

Isn't this a waste of time?

"I am indeed willing to die for Confucianism, but I will not die for Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism."

"To be honest, what I believe in is Mr. Wang Yangming's philosophy..."

"Although I don't think that bastard Zhou Yanru is Mr. Wang's student, what he did was indeed influenced by Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism."

"Moreover, Beikong and his gang have completely betrayed Confucianism. Let alone the philosophy of mind, even the two founders of Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism cannot tolerate them."

"Furthermore, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism has indeed become rotten and useless now, and what His Majesty just said has given me no refutation."

"If that's the case, why don't you support it? This decadent school should be abandoned."

"And I have the same view as His Majesty. Confucianism has indeed lost its blood and backbone for too long. The promotion of Gongyang Theory is a thing that has more advantages than disadvantages!"

Huang Jin's words made Kong Zhenyun blush instantly.

He could sense the deep disdain and contempt for them, the descendants of Confucius, in Huang Jin's words.

"Haha, that's how it is."

"Then why don't you intercede for Wang Yangming?"

"After all, we sent his Xinxue to the frontier before."

Li Chen was a little surprised when he heard this.

A person who studies by heart?

This is kind of interesting.

"I know that His Majesty did it as a last resort to establish his authority."

"I also believe that His Majesty will eventually restore Mr. Wang Yangming's status."

"It's just a matter of time."

"If it can benefit the country, I believe Mr. Wang will not mind living in another place."

Huang Jin touched his head and said honestly.

Actually, there is another reason...

It was not easy for Your Majesty not to completely ban Xin Xue after Zhou Yanru had done that.

Who dares to step forward and get into trouble at that time?

Although he has backbone, he is not stupid. Only by staying in the court can he have the opportunity to speak for Mr. Wang Yangming.

"What a great Huang Jin. People say you are dull, but I think you are very smart."

"Don't worry, we will definitely apologize to Mr. Wang Yangming when the matter is over."

"As for Confucianism...Kong Zhenyun, please give me a word."

"If we can't do that, there will be no need for your Kong family to exist."

"We don't mind letting other Confucian scholars take part in destroying the Confucian temple and rescuing Confucius."

Li Chen chuckled, this Huang Jin was quite interesting.

Have the backbone, the bottom line, and the ability to adapt.

Yes, he is a useful talent!
