Wang Xijue pondered after hearing this.
The sunlight shone on his thick, furrowed eyebrows, which only made his eyes look more deeply towards the chief minister's official residence.
Zhang Siwei, who was told by the doctor that his emotions were too depressed and needed more sun exposure, was also looking at the sun outside the official residence of the Chief Minister at this time, and also saw Wang Xijue who was looking towards him.
Wang Xijue did not notice Zhang Siwei, and only after a long while, he said: "It is understandable that if the Grand Master's way of governing the country is not regarded as the right way in the world, I may not be able to reassure the Grand Master's old friends."
Yu Youding and Shen Shixing nodded.
And Yu Youding also said: "What's more, the country must only have one idea!"
"This concept is the concept that His Majesty mentioned in the Imperial College."
"Ministers who don't agree can't govern the country!"
"The Grand Master is the inheritor and promoter of this concept, and he is also the forefather of the Qisheng Emperor who upholds this concept and becomes the Great Duke of the world. Therefore, only by acknowledging the merits of the Grand Master and accepting his words can we talk about other things."
“It’s not just for the safety of our family that we don’t allow people to die and the government to die!”
Wang Xijue nodded after hearing this: "I understand, I will give them a message, and I will also give them good advice!"
"Today's exams are so demanding that Shen Shichu just left the office and now he has time to see the official. It's really disrespectful."
Gu Xiancheng came to Wang Xijue that evening and started talking.
Li Zhi, who had already arrived first, said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate is not much better, and three censors have already been sentenced to exile in Mowen River Guards because they were found to have asked for bribes. They taught health. It is because of His Majesty's special kindness. Otherwise, according to the wishes of the cabinet, they will be executed. In reality, all of them have become Haigangfeng and Yan Gongzhi!"
Li Sancai, who also came up at this time, handed over to Wang Xijue and said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs is not much better. Three of them were exiled and five were dismissed from their posts!"
"It's not bad. The long-term workers at my house don't stop for five hours."
Wang Xijue said something at this time.
"That's wrong!"
"How can scholars and common people be the same?"
"The country should care about raising its own people!"
Li Zhi said something.
Gu Xiancheng asked Wang Xijue directly: "How is your question?"
Wang Xijue then conveyed the words of Shen Shixing and others to them.
The three people's expressions changed after hearing this.
"This is impossible!"
Li Zhi said something first.
"Acknowledging Jiangling's contribution is like rebelling against the world!"
Li Sancai also followed suit.
"Why do the temples and temples want to turn against the right and wrong of the world?! I really don't understand!"
Gu Xiancheng also asked about Wang Xijue.
Wang Xijue asked Gu Xiancheng, "Then why does the world have to do the opposite if the temple is right and wrong?"
Gu Xiancheng only sneered and did not answer.
Wang Xijue didn't answer either.
"You can't blame Jiang Ling, but should you blame His Majesty?"
Instead, it was Li Sancai who boldly asked and said:
"The world is against Jiangling, isn't it because they are loyal to the emperor and father? They don't want those who have suffered from harsh rule to blame the emperor?!"
】
"Then it seems that we still can't reconcile."
Wang Xijue sighed and put down the teacup: "Send off the guests!"
The three of them also said goodbye and left the palace.
…
"According to what His Majesty stated in the "Explanation of Foreign Affairs" and the Taishi's lecture, the world is not only represented by scholars, because the world is not only their world, but also the world of the entire world, and the world of all the people of the Ming Dynasty. "
"Your Majesty is the lord of the world, and he upholds the constitution of heaven and brings peace to the people of the world. Therefore, he has formulated the three goals of governing the country: enriching the country, strengthening the army, and benefiting the people."
"Now they use the rights and wrongs of scholars to represent the rights and wrongs of the world. It is inappropriate!"
"What's more, the scholars themselves are not unified."
"Furthermore, a gentleman is concerned with profit, but he should be less concerned with justice. How can he ignore justice because of profit and loss?"
"Since they still insist on defining their own view of right and wrong arising from the control of selfish desires as the right and wrong of everyone in the world, it seems that the days of sharing beauty and beauty will last for a long time, and disputes are still unavoidable."
Because Zhu Yijun ordered Shen Shixing, Shen Li and others to serve as editors to compile the "Selected Works of Grand Master Zhang Juzheng", it was used as the teaching material of the ruling school of the Ming Dynasty along with "Explanations of Foreign Affairs".
Therefore, Shen Li was also at Shen Shixing's second assistant's residence at this time, and knowing that Wang Xijue conveyed the opinions of Gu Xiancheng and others, they started talking.
Shen Shixing, Pan Cheng, Yu Youding, Wang Xijue and others all listened carefully.
After hearing this, Pan Cheng said with a sullen face: "Perhaps only when being a slave is no longer comfortable, will the entire scholarly community be willing to acknowledge the great master's merits."
"Be a slave?"
Shen Li couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, be a slave!"
"Everyone wants to live a leisurely life comfortably, they don't want to contribute, and they don't want the country to have strong people. No matter whether the king, the scholar-bureaucrats, or the people, they all want to be weak. In this way, the whole country will not be weak, and the whole country will be weak in the future. Want to become a slave?"
Pan Cheng asked as he spoke.
"Then continue to treat each other as thieves!"
Yu Youding stood up with a serious look on his face at this time: "If the old rituals are not eliminated, new rituals are not built, and the grand master does not worship the Confucius Temple, we will no longer talk about the four words of 'harmony and mutual aid'!"
Shen Shixing glanced at Yu Youding and said nothing.
Next, Shen Shixing took the initiative to submit a confidential letter.
After receiving the secret letter, Zhu Yijun summoned Shen Shixing alone on the platform.
"Holy Confucian scholars Wang Shouren and Chen Xianzhang in the Confucius Temple!"
"Why did Master Shen suddenly ask for this?"
Zhu Yijun sat in front of Shen Shixing and asked.
Because Shen Shixing had served Zhu Yijun as an official, Zhu Yijun called him his master.
Shen Shixing informed Zhu Yijun that Wang Xijue was looking for him on behalf of Gu Xiancheng and others in the cabinet.
After Zhu Yijun heard this, he pondered for a long time, and then looked at Shen Shixing: "Master Shen, do you want to worship the king first and then open up academic circles to only respect Zhu?"
"In order to let the Taishi's words be accepted by the people of the world, and at the same time, let Shilin start to argue because of King Chong and Shou Zhu, so that it is difficult to form a joint force, Mr. Criticism?"
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!
"First, we should understand the usefulness of true Confucianism and not be content with being rigid; second, we should understand the self-satisfaction of practical learning, rather than focusing on knowledge."
"This will be of great benefit to sanctification!"
"Moreover, it can encourage new learning by worshiping the king, so that people do not have to follow Cheng and Zhu exclusively, but make morality difficult for those who have made great contributions to the country."
"This is also preparation for the new ceremony."
Shen Shixing said.
Zhu Yijun nodded: "The governing philosophy needs to be unified, but knowledge should be encouraged to be innovative and developed. Regardless of the pros and cons of Wang Xue's subsequent development, his awareness of the people's Taoism began to make scholar-bureaucrats willing to spread Taoism preaching to the common people. The idea of being courteous to the people and starting to advocate proactive practice is worthy of recognition."
"Your Majesty said so."
"Nowadays, many scholars in the world hate the Grand Master, because their interests have been greatly damaged by the New Deal, and they have forgotten the justice of the country. By acting against the right and wrong they hold, the imperial court is acting against the scholars of the world. If we do not want the scholars of the world to win, , in the name of learning and learning, we can divide the scholars, and at the same time, educate the common people, so we need to worship the king first!"
Shen Shixing said.
"When I looked at history, I discovered that China's system began with scholar-bureaucrats replacing aristocratic families. Because the world has indeed undergone new changes, landlords from poor families began to study and became the backbone;"
"Nowadays, due to the boom in commerce in towns and cities, the number of readers in the citizen class has increased, and there has undoubtedly been a new change. If I want to enrich the country, strengthen the army and benefit the people, I must follow this trend and support the citizen class who are mainly working, including supporting both A landowner or small trader who farms and works."
"This dynasty cannot learn from the Song Dynasty. The emperor only ruled the world with scholar-bureaucrats. The two Song Dynasties perished because they did not pay attention to the citizens and common people."
"In the name of the country and the nation, as my husband and I mentioned before, this dynasty will improve the personality status of its people, allow them to read and speak, and the world it governs should also be the entire universe!"
"And being here is also in line with Taizu's wishes."
"Taizu was able to conquer the world because he valued the people. He even allowed the people to resist corrupt officials and eliminate traitors for the country in the "Great Edict"; he also allowed the people to directly transport grain; but in the early days of the country, the relevant concepts were immature, so Taizu Although our ancestors are sage and wise, the system they established is not perfect after all, and we need to change our system based on his thoughts!"
"And the wise ministers such as Mr. Gao Gong and others changed the system precisely based on this. It can be said that they are loyal ministers who have truly understood Taizu's ancestral system!"
"What Master Shen said is also in line with Taizu's intention and mine! Therefore, it is what you are playing!"
Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment, then nodded, elaborated on his views, and said:
"What needs to be changed now is not only to allow practical learning to be complacent and true Confucianism to establish its own school, but also to be encouraged and guided by the court."
"Therefore, in my opinion, instead of banning lectures in the academies of the world, it is better to accept the academies of the world as official schools, with the imperial government funding to make them stronger, to guide them to study practical learning, to avoid being controlled by the gentry, to avoid just empty talk about human nature, and to make them spread moral education throughout the country. place, I wonder what Master Shen thinks?"
