The Reborn Wife is Farming

Fang Zhiyuan lowered his eyes, but he just wrote a book, so the situation is not necessarily what the other party expected, and Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism is pushed to such a high level, it is just a purposeful deduction.

It's ridiculous that many things that scholars and officials can't see through have been pointed out by a woman.

Fang Zhiyuan thought of the current situation of Shilin in the south of the Yangtze River, and his heart was tormented like a fire. Just as Princess Rong said, if Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism is allowed to prevail, I am afraid that in a few decades, there will be no new scholars in Shilin. If it is advanced, everyone will only copy Zhu Xi's understanding.

He wanted to break this rule, but he was afraid of causing dissatisfaction with the royal family. Zhu Xi's fourth uncle's commentary was clearly in the royal family's arms, because all his commentaries implied loyalty and filial piety.

Loyalty and filial piety are not wrong, but such emphasis loses the original meaning of the sage's words.

Fang Zhiyuan looked at Princess Rongjun who had gone far away, and sighed quietly, the princess understands the truth, but I don't know if the emperor understands it.

Qi Xiuyuan naturally didn't understand, because he didn't have time to pay attention to this, he was really too busy, but no matter how busy he was, when he received Fang Zhiyuan's note, he still called someone to have a sincere talk, and then he gave a reply, and then Hanlin The bachelors of the academy all know that the teaching time in the palace has been greatly adjusted, leaving most of the free time for the princes.

Before the gentlemen in the study had time to object, Fang Zhiyuan invited them to his home for a discussion. He asked someone to tidy up the big room next to his study and put them on a mat. Everyone imitated the celebrities in the Jin Dynasty to express their opinions.

Of course, Fang Zhiyuan did not copy Mu Yangling's words. Ordinary people listened to her words, but the Hanlin scholars who had read poetry and books and had a proud personality were somewhat disdainful, so Fan Zhiyuan summed it up and polished it. everyone.

The Hanlin bachelors who can be selected by Qi Xiuyuan as Mr. Shangshufang are naturally not too young, and the youngest one is also thirty-eight, so everyone is not impulsive, and they will naturally think about what Fang Zhiyuan said.

Everyone debated in the room for a day and a night, but in the end they still lost to the Zhiyuan faction, and had to accept a new teaching time.

It is better to say that they are competing for teaching time than teaching methods. The royal family can influence the aristocratic families and the powerful, and the aristocratic families and the powerful can affect the people.

But the aristocratic family and the powerful have the resources and ability, what about the poor family?

It is difficult for them to even buy a book, let alone adopt such a free teaching method, which is undoubtedly a blow to them.

Moreover, during this debate, many Hanlin scholars expressed their dissatisfaction with Zhu Xi's commentary on the "Annotations to the Four Books". far-reaching impact.

The insightful people among them are unavoidable, "The poor family has been fighting with the aristocratic family for a long time. In the previous Emperor Sejong, the poor family had the upper hand, and the aristocratic family has always been in the upper position. Because today they are dissatisfied with the aristocratic family's enclosure and hidden households, so they vigorously support the poor family. If the debate spreads this time, I am afraid that next year's imperial examination questions will deviate from Zhu Xi's annotations to the Four Books, which will be a catastrophe for poor families."

Fang Zhiyuan also sighed quietly, and deliberately passed these words to Mu Yangling's ears.

Mu Yangling said in amazement: "How could there be such a big influence?"

Qi Haoran took it for granted, "Most of the officials who wrote the questions came from the disciples of those few Hanlin scholars, or they wrote the questions themselves. Isn't it natural for them to favor their own likes and dislikes?"

Mu Yangling sat up straight and said: "I have always believed that education reform should adopt a method of moistening things silently, not fast, but stable. Because of instability, we may destroy the life of a generation. Although I I don’t like that Zhu Xi unified the answers to the Four Books, but it doesn’t mean that I agree to ban its status and role. Unless the state comes up with a way to resettle these students who have used the “Annotation to the Four Books” as a textbook since childhood, otherwise I don’t agree to tamper with the exam. scope."

"Haoran, you have to make Brother Huang make a decree, otherwise the hearts of scholars in the world will be uneasy and chaos will arise."

Qi Haoran stared, "How dare a group of scholars make trouble?"

"It's related to their future in life. As long as they are not too good at home, everyone will fight for it. Brother Huang issued an imperial decree. We just use this to break the monopoly of "Annotation to the Four Books" and express the attitude of the royal family and all the Hanlin scholars."

Mu Yangling pushed Qi Haoran, "Go to the palace quickly."

It wasn't until Qi Haoran entered the palace that Qi Xiuyuan realized that this matter was going to happen. He just wanted to give his sons more free time, so why did he offend scholars all over the world?

Qi Xiuyuan asked: "They speak as they speak, and argue as they argue. Why do they involve Zhu Xi?"

How could Qi Haoran, a warrior, understand? He just said: "Brother, don't worry about why they got involved, anyway, it's been involved now, and this matter has to be resolved. If Ah Ling's words are spread, those scholars will definitely make a fuss, so you should quickly issue an order to reassure them."

Qi Xiuyuan had never read Zhu Xi's "Annotation to the Four Books". The Four Books he was enlightened by when he was a child was directly lectured by his husband. At that time, this book had not had such a great influence among scholars. When he grew up, although he occasionally read the Four Books , but he already has his own fixed understanding, and he is a general, so naturally he will not read that book again.

He couldn't quite understand why a book with annotations was so highly regarded.

Qi Haoran told Qi Xiuyuan that most of the students who read this book were poor students, because some could not afford to go to school or hire teachers, and many annotated books were not only scattered but also incomplete. Zhu Xi annotated the Four Books, although it was his family’s opinion, But for the poor students in the world, it can be regarded as a great merit.

Even now, Mu Yangling has not denied his contribution, but his descendants and those of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism have other intentions to praise this book blindly, excluding the annotations and analysis of other scholars, making many Scholars only recognize this annotation, even if Mu Yangling is not a scholar, he will inevitably be overwhelmed by their domineering.

What's more, she clearly knows that the consequence of only recognizing one book is rigid thinking. Mu Yangling wants her sons to go to the universe. She doesn't restrict the children's whimsy. After growing up, these ideas will definitely collide with other people's fixed ideas, and I'm afraid that children will be classified as heterogeneous.

Mu Yangling knew the importance of allies, so before Qi Haoran entered the palace, Mu Yangling threw all these worries to him, and asked him to find a way to draw Qi Xiuyuan to their side, as long as the emperor stood by them Here, what are they afraid of?

As for the ideas of loyalty and filial piety advocated in Zhu Xi's book, if you look around, which book would promote rebellious speech?

And if this book is really useful, why do you two brothers rebel?

Well, you two haven't read the book.

Then why the former courtiers who have read this book in the court still work for the emperor's brother? Why didn't I see them jumping out and committing suicide in order to reconcile with Emperor Jing Yan's relationship with the monarch and ministers?

In the final analysis, it's just because people are profit-seeking animals, so don't believe in how useful a book is, what you have to believe in is profit.

The popularity of Zhu Xi's books is based on interests, and it allows poor students to obtain fame at a lower cost.

Everyone obeys the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor in the book because of interests, and it is also because of interests that they violate nature.
