"In the Analects of Confucius, benevolence is the fourth."
Confucius said: "If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening."
Xie Jin used this to express his decision, which is enough to explain everything.
Zhu Yunxi was a little worried in his heart and said softly: "Brother Gentleman, once this matter is started, you will never be able to completely retreat."
Xie Jin's eyebrows were solemn: "Xia Weizhe is in Zhejiang Province, and Iron Cauldron Stone is in Japan. It is also an uneasy situation, so we must be cautious in everything we do. I will not forget the favor I received from my grandson. I can only be loyal to the emperor. I will devote my whole life to death!"
In fact, when talking about Tie Xuan and Xia Yuanji, Xie Jin felt a burst of emotion in his heart.
Last year, the three of them were selected by the grandson to serve as counselors in the palace, and they became the beginning of the emperor's grandson party at that time. Xia Yuanji is a new member of the household department, and he is very skilled in economics. Tie Xuan was also diligent and capable when he was appointed to the Ministry of Rites, and he also knew a lot about military affairs. Otherwise, he would not have gone to Japan this time.
But he, the so-called noble Hanlin, didn't seem to have the same strengths. When Tie Xia and Tie Xia went out to Beijing for business, he was the only one left in Yingtian City.
This makes Xie Jin, who is still young, always unable to accept it.
Young people must be competitive.
Even friends of the same age have to compare themselves.
At this time, if I can promote the theory of mind, spread the theory of the unity of knowledge and action to the world, and be able to do things in a practical way, wouldn't it be in line with the principle of the unity of knowledge and action?
He wants to become a Confucian sage!
We also need to fight for a worthy minister of the country to come out!
Zhu Yunxi looked at the high-spirited Xie Jin and shook his head with a smile: "Although Xin Xue has been suppressed by Neo-Confucianism since Lu Jiuyuan, there are still many disciples in the world. It is inconvenient for these people to come forward alone, but as long as Brother Da Shen launches it, If you understand the principle of unity of knowledge and action, you can contact these people. Brother Gentleman, do you understand?"
Finally, Zhu Yunxi looked at Xie Jin deeply.
Xie Jin looked over, understanding in his heart, and nodded silently.
The grandson is the grandson of the Ming Dynasty. When the country is facing such a dispute between Confucian sects, the best attitude is to stay out of it.
After all, it is a matter that affects the whole body. It is a matter of digging people's graves. Compared with the tax reform in Zhejiang Province, it is just a matter of money and food. This is a real matter of life and death, where a white knife goes in and a red knife comes out.
Xie Jin nodded: "I know that there are several old gentlemen who have always regarded Mr. Xiangshan as their seniors. Today, I sent a letter to invite them to the capital."
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but smile when he thought of the extra old dogs on Lion Mountain.
Those are the leaders of today's scholars and the leaders of Neo-Confucianism.
Now Jie Jin wants to invite Xinxue's seniors to come to the capital. Quietly, Ying Tiancheng seems to be about to start staged fighting scenes.
Perhaps a long and protracted debate will soon be staged in Yingtian City.
Underneath this, it is the imperial court's enke this year, the tax reform of Zhejiang Province, the implementation of the world's policies, and the royal family kings entering Beijing this year.
A huge stage has been quietly woven.
Just wait for one party to get on the stage and see who can sing to the end.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi said: "Fuzhoushan is a good place. It is backed by the city wall. Outside is Xuanwu Lake. On one side is Jilong Mountain and the Imperial College, and on the other side is Taipingmen. Brother Dashen will invite the seniors of Xinxue to the capital. , can be placed on Fuzhou Mountain."
You have Lion Rock, I have Fuzhou Mountain.
Even when a lion enters the river, it capsizes!
Xie Jin made it even more self-explanatory: "At that time, I can borrow the names of some old gentlemen to give lectures on spiritual studies on Mount Fuzhou, and recruit students from the Imperial Academy to attend the lectures."
Zhu Yunxi drank the tea soup in front of him, stood up, looked back at Xie Jin, and reminded quietly: "The right guard of the government army is stationed in front of Fuzhou Mountain. When I turn around, Yutian will send a sign."
Xie Jin's expression condensed, and he was originally planning to send his grandson out of the Hanlin Academy's Yamen.
But because of these words, he stood on the spot.
"Is the argument going to involve the use of swords?"
Jie Jin whispered with a hint of hesitation in a low voice.
…
After leaving the imperial office, Sun Cheng looked at his grandson in front of him.
"Third Master, the news just came from outside is that they are already preparing to impeach Ren Hengtai."
Zhu Yunxi stood still and looked at the Rites Yamen not far away: "Let them make trouble, and no one should care about this matter."
Today's thoughts on psychology have been sent to Xie Jin in advance.
Zhu Yunxi believed that with Xie Jin's talent and learning, it would not be difficult to complete today's few words. And with your own additions and guidance, your new mind will only develop in the direction you need.
The prince is right. At this time, the Ming Dynasty cannot live without Confucianism. This is one of the foundations of the rule of the old Zhu family, and it is also the consensus of the world.
What kind of Confucianism is needed is what one should think about.
Before coming to the Hanlin Academy this year, Zhu Yunxi had thought of restoring Gongyang Confucianism, but he knew that it was already outdated knowledge.
The Ming Dynasty would never allow the existence of rangers, nor would it allow the people to grudge and grudge freely.
The core ideas of Gongyang Confucianism can only be mastered by the royal family.
It can only be pushed to a dominant position when used overseas.
Looking from all directions, only a brand new system of psychology can change the current situation in the government and the public, and only then can the grave of Neo-Confucianism be dug and buried underground.
Today I only talked to Xie Jin about one thing about Xinxue and about running a bookstore and newspaper.
In fact, Zhu Yunxi still has unfinished business.
Practical subjects were widely opened, and the imperial examination was included in practical subjects to recruit Jinshi of the country and become officials in the dynasty.
It's just that this matter should be placed behind the upcoming debate between psychology and Neo-Confucianism. Only after the psychology of psychology wins this debate can it be implemented.
"Third Master, where are you going now?"
Sun Cheng's words would always cleverly appear at the end of Zhu Yunxi's thinking.
Zhu Yunxi raised his head slightly. Today's spring rain had stopped at some point.
He smiled silently: "Go to Central City for a walk."
Yingtian City occupies a very large area, and the east city is where the imperial city and the government offices of various ministries are located.
From the root of the Western Imperial City to the west are the residences of meritorious officials in the DPRK.
Xicheng is a collection of military camps and fertile fields, sparsely visited.
Only Nancheng and Zhongcheng can be regarded as the essence of Yingtian City, and they are also the most lively and prosperous places with the Qinhuai River.
Sun Cheng was stunned for a moment, not quite sure what his grandson's intention was in visiting Zhongcheng at this time.
He had no choice but to turn around and tell his subordinates to protect the grandson's safety when they arrived in the middle city.
A few people had already crossed the Dazhong Bridge in a short time, even reaching the area of Zhongcheng.
After passing Dazhong Bridge, follow Zhongzheng Street, cross Shengping Bridge, and then pass through Jewelry Gallery, Yangshi Bridge, Xiajiekou, and Red Paper Gallery. Standing at the intersection of Dawangfu Lane, you can see a majestic palace located at the northwest corner of Dawangfu Lane and Chaotian Palace West Street, occupying an area of Laoda.
This is where Chaotian Palace is located.
The Chaotian Palace at this time was rebuilt and renamed in the 17th year of Hongwu.
It has always been a place where the imperial court practiced etiquette before holding ceremonies, and it was also a place where meritorious disciples of the imperial court learned how to meet the emperor before taking the title.
In addition, it is a place that worships the Taoist Three Qing Dynasties and accepts incense offerings from the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the people.
When he arrived at the dismounting monument in front of Chaotian Palace, Zhu Yunxi did not need to signal.
Sun Cheng had already taken off his sword and placed it outside Chaotian Palace.
At this time, a Taoist came out of Chaotian Palace.
"The great grandson is here, and the path can be used to guide the great grandson."
Zhu Yunxi smiled and shook his head to reject the other party's kindness. He had been to this place many times before.
Although the layout may be slightly different now, it won't be a big difference.
Pass through the Shenjun Hall, Sanqing Main Hall, and Datong Mingbao Hall in front, and arrive in front of the Long Live Main Hall.
Zhu Yunxi ordered: "You stay here."
As soon as he entered the hall, he was attracted by a figure with his back to him.
I saw him wearing a dark blue double-breasted coat with a horse-faced skirt underneath, kneeling before the statues of various gods.
Zhu Yunxi opened his eyes and looked around the palace, but saw no Taoist priests from Chaotian Palace.
He silently stepped forward and knelt down on the futon next to the man.
"I never thought I could meet my aunt here."
Zhu Yunxi had no intention of worshiping the statue in front of him. He straightened his body and looked sideways at Xu Miaojin, who had his eyes closed and was praying piously and silently.
It seemed that no one else would show up here.
Xu Miaojin, who was praying for his brothers in Shaanxi and his eldest sister in Peking, had surprise on his face. He opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Yunxi who was close to Chi Chi.
"Why did your grandson come here?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly: "Why is my aunt here?"
Xu Miaojin's face was stunned, and she bit her lips: "I am praying for my family."
"Hasn't my aunt ever prayed for a marriage for me?" Zhu Yunxi glanced at the young aunt's fair and pure cheeks without makeup and asked in a low voice.
Xu Miaojin's cheeks turned red quietly, and she glanced at Zhu Yunxi with some dissatisfaction: "My daughter has finished praying, and there are still some unfinished matters at home..."
Zhu Yunxi interrupted: "Auntie, do you know when Duke Wei will return to Beijing?"
Xu Miaojin, who was just about to stand up and leave, did not want to stay next to the emperor's grandson whose gaze always made him feel uncomfortable. Hearing these words, Xu Miaojin had to stop his movements to leave.
He glanced sideways.
Xu Miaojin asked in a low voice: "Last year, my brother was ordered to go to Shaanxi to practice frontier military horses. When can he return to Beijing? Everything will be discussed by the court and will be decided by His Majesty."
Zhu Yunxi said softly: "As for the military academy, a few days ago I ordered the Ministry of Industry to work with the general to oversee the construction of a site in Xicheng. It is actually a place to train the meritorious children of our dynasty and military generals, so there is no need to build a military academy." It’s so luxurious, and it can probably be completed before the end of the year.”
Xu Miaojin's eyes flickered.
She understood the profound meaning of the emperor's grandson's words.
After the academy is ready, the next step is to select veterans with meritorious service in the military to be teachers, and then select children from various families and military generals to enroll.
He glanced at the man in front of him.
Xu Miaojin sighed quietly in his heart. This was his response to the last time he stopped him in front of the Jiaofang Department at night!
But Xu Miaojin could only ask in a low voice: "Is Taisun choosing the person to be the dean of the college?"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "The dean is my Majesty the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. However, the deputy dean has to choose a few more people. I wonder if my aunt thinks that Wei Guogong can take on this important task?"
