Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 116 This is the Renaissance of the East!
Zhu Qi was very confused, he didn't know what he was doing, and he was being targeted by this group of literati.

Ordinarily, it was not me who went to the Imperial College to teach mathematics, but Zheng Shiyuan.

Even if they feel that this mathematics is too thorough and violates the behavior of Confucian scholars, they should go to Zheng Shiyuan to discuss the Tao, why should they ask themselves.

But listening to what the internal officials said along the way, Zhu Qi didn't seem to be like this.

"Oh, His Royal Highness King Liao is really amazing, our family is also very impressed, it's the first time our family has seen those ministers and workers arguing in the court hall like this."

"Even His Majesty asked the imperial dining room to prepare lunch for the ministers. It seems that he intends to discuss with the ministers all day."

"Your Highness, the unity of knowledge and action, although our family can't understand it, but listening to the discussions of the ministers and workers, it seems very powerful."

What the hell?Unity of knowledge and action?

Zhu Qi was a little confused. When did he say these things? Isn't the unity of knowledge and action Wang Yangming's theory of mind? Although he has understood it, he is still far from being proficient.

However, I seem to have said something similar to Zheng Shiyuan, but it is not considered a discussion, but Zheng Shiyuan finds it strange that he attaches so much importance to craftsmen and mathematics.

I don't want to talk to him about the theory of rejuvenating the country through science and education, and he may not be able to accept it.

On the contrary, Wang Yangming's practical theory of the unity of knowledge and action can be used as a reason, and Confucian scholars like Zheng Shiyuan can also accept it.

Because Xinxue has withstood the test of history, and when Wang Yangming first proposed it, it caused an uproar among Confucian scholars in the Ming Dynasty, and then it became more and more popular.

Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind encourages hard work and does not talk nonsense, especially the theory of the unity of knowledge and action, which allows people to explore the laws of things instead of talking about fake things.

At that time, there was a trend of an Eastern Renaissance.

It's a pity that with the various crises and the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the rulers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties obviously did not choose the popular Xinxue as the mainstream thought, which also led to the near-disappearance of Xinxue in the East.

Later, I still need to rely on Japanese translations for learning.

It's really embarrassing.

But Zhu Qike had never thought about promoting the study of the mind.

This time, it felt like an unintentional intervention.

Of course, Zhu Qi didn't feel afraid or anything. Anyway, the things he and Zheng Shiyuan talked about were all about learning from the heart.

At best, it is bold and innovative, which is eye-catching, but if it is deviant, it is definitely not there.

Arrived above the main hall.

Zhu Qi saw a group of ministers and workers in the hall, still yelling loudly.

As usual, there are clearly three factions.

One group was headed by Hu Weiyong, followed by Song Lian and others, who still advocated Zhu Xi's Confucianism.

The other school, headed by Zheng Shiyuan and Liu Bowen, advocated Zhu Qi's theory of the unity of knowledge and action.

The third faction is a group of theatergoers, most of whom are military generals and nobles, who have nothing to say:
"Stop arguing, stop arguing, you can't kill anyone if you fight like this!"

The scene was very lively, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the throne, was not so much talking about Taoism as he was watching the excitement.

Especially the excitement was caused by Zhu Qi.

This is something that the students of the entire Imperial College are discussing, and even the ministers are arguing at this moment.

After all, in matters of thought, I have always seen someone who disagrees with me, and I want to change that person's mind so that it can be consistent with my own, but this is also the most rare thing.

Seeing Zhu Qi coming over, the officials and workers who were already arguing became even more energetic.

Zheng Shiyuan raised his arms even more, there were many faction leaders present, and a group of people waited with high morale.

It is naturally impossible for Hu Weiyong to yell at His Highness Liao Wang, but he also frequently raises various questions.

It is nothing more than the so-called "nature is reason", "reason" is the basis for the existence of things, and "reason" is the primary nature.

What else is "everything is in the middle of a square inch"...

I heard that Zhu Qina called one head and two big ones.

I know shit philosophy.

Zhu Qi's mood at this moment was similar to that of the picture of "Aba Aba Aba".

After Hu Weiyong finished speaking here, Zhu Qi pondered for a moment, nodded, and was about to say "ah yes yes yes", Zheng Shiyuan behind him immediately said:
"Prime Minister, this remark is wrong. Based on my previous discussions with His Royal Highness Liao Wang, it is time to change your Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism, which preserves the laws of nature and destroys human nature!"

Then I heard Zheng Shiyuan start talking.

What ""Yi Da Zhuan" said: Yi has Tai Chi. The sages say there is, but now they say there is no, why?".

What is "inventing one's heart", "promoting one's conscience"...

Hey, don't say it, what Zheng Shiyuan said is also what Zhu Qi said before.

But what he said was miscellaneous, or he listened to the teacher talking in his philosophy class and history class, and somehow remembered it clearly after time travel.

Or they are usually seen in messy places.

After all, Xinxue is so famous, there are still many friends who are proficient in Xinxue.

Even if you are not proficient, it is no problem to extract a few sentences from the original words of Xinxue.

And these Wang Yangming's quotations are ready-made summarized viewpoints, otherwise how could they be passed down in history?
Although Zhu Qi doesn't understand, it's no problem to talk about it according to the gourd painting.

Ever since, I saw His Royal Highness King Liao being called to the main hall, sitting on the seat, listening to the debate between the two sides, and the debate was very pleasant.

And Zheng Shiyuan always starts with the sentence "His Royal Highness Liao said...".

Coupled with his own understanding, the debate is not in the slightest.

Not only did he not lose the wind, he even faintly suppressed one end.

The two parties debated for a long time but did not come to a clue, but it was Zhu Qi who was a little dumbfounded.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that it would not be a head to continue such arguing, so he asked the ministers and workers to go back, and said that it was about Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism, or Zhu Qi's Psychology, and you can study it in private.

Things like today, openly arguing in the court, don't happen next time.

Having said that, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's happy expression, it can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang is still very proud of Zhu Qineng's theory.

And Zhu Qi just had an idea, and finally he didn't have to listen to these literati's discussions.

To be honest, it was a headache for Noisy.

These literati, who have nothing to do, don't study mathematics more, why are they arguing so hard about these issues.

Can the debate give the common people of Ming Dynasty two more bowls of food?Can the debate prevent Bei Yuan from invading Northern Xinjiang?
There is nothing to do, don't talk about it...

Um?I really think this thought is the embodiment of psychology?

------

The storm of Neo-Confucianism and Psychology is still going on, but Zhu Qi, the person who caused the storm, has already withdrawn early.

However, Zhu Qi's feat of fighting against the Confucians in the court hall has spread.

To be honest, Zhu Qi did not argue with Hu Weiyong and Song Lian in the court.

From the beginning to the end, it was "ah yes yes yes" "you are right".

Zheng Shiyuan is the one who speaks!
Speaking of this, Zhu Qi has a third sentence to say:
"Zheng Shiyuan is right, it is indeed what I said."

But Zhu Qi didn't speak, but no one thought that Zhu Qi was speechless when asked. Everyone knew that Song Lian was Zhu Qi's teacher.

Zhu Qi didn't speak, let Zheng Shiyuan speak on behalf of him, this is the performance of respecting the teacher!
In a word, first of all, all the theories related to the study of mind are all extended from His Royal Highness Liao Wang.

The king of Liao is not in the arena, but he is victorious in the arena!

This situation made Zhu Qi almost speechless. He felt that these Confucian scholars were very troublesome, and felt that it was extremely correct not to choose to guide Confucian scholars at the beginning, but to guide craftsmen.

But the wind of debate outside did not affect him because Zhu Qi could avoid it.

Even on weekdays, when they went to the Royal Entertainment Center with Li Jinglong, Zhu Di and others, they were discussing these things.

However, those people who are close to Zhu Qi are all strong supporters of Xinxue without exception.

The result is that as long as you leave the house, you can meet these people discussing wherever you go.

Even at the poetry meeting, everyone stopped discussing talented scholars and beauties, and everyone was discussing Zhu Chengxue and Zhu Qixinxue.

Except for the Guozijian, the scholars in those academies have several debates a day.

A few times, Zhu Qi and his group of friends didn't meet Li Jinglong for several days, only to find out later that Li Jinglong was actually studying the art of war in the academy!

Zhu Qi was surprised. Didn't Li Jinglong claim to have mastered the art of war?
Why did you start researching again all of a sudden?
Later, when Xu Zengshou talked about this time while eating, Zhu Qicai knew what was going on with Li Jinglong.

If you want to say who among my group loves learning the most, it is definitely Li Jinglong.

This guy seems to have grown up soaked in a sea of ​​books since he was a child.

But there is still another problem, that is, he likes to show off, although he has strong learning ability, he is very frivolous and can't calm down.

However, after learning His Highness Liao Wang's mind learning, I don't know what happened, so I started to study again.

And this time he didn't just sit at home and read a book, he often ran to the military camp, because Li Wenzhong was related to his father, and I heard that he was still looking for the general to be his teacher.

Then why did Li Jinglong make such a big change?
Wasn't it because of studying His Royal Highness Liao Wang's Mind Science, he was deeply shocked by the theory of the unity of knowledge and action, felt ashamed, and began to re-learn...

To be honest, after hearing Xu Zengshou's explanation, the others all laughed, but Zhu Qi did ponder.

He seemed to think of some key points, but he always felt like he missed it. After eating a meal, he went out for a couple of laps and stood on the road.

Just like that, he suddenly had an epiphany!
Zhu Di was walking forward normally, but suddenly bumped into Zhu Qi's back, causing Zhu Di's forehead to hurt.

Zhu Di raised his head and was about to ask what was going on, when Zhu Qi suddenly asked behind him:
"Xu Zengshou, do you know how the students of the Imperial College are doing now?"

"How is your study?"

Xu Zengshou was a little confused, not knowing what His Royal Highness King Liao meant.

Zhu Qi quickly said again:
"It's those students, are they still not as active in learning mathematics now as before? Or have they changed?"

Only then did Xu Zengshou understand Zhu Qi's question, and hurriedly replied:

"As far as I know, Zheng Changli's courses are always sold out. As for the others, I'm not too sure."

Zhu Qi nodded, the others were a little strange, not sure why His Royal Highness Liao Wang suddenly cared about these things.

It was normal for them not to know, because Zhu Qi suddenly became enlightened.

He suddenly realized that his previous thinking seemed a bit one-sided.

He has always thought that science and education can rejuvenate the country, as long as he pays attention to the development of those natural subjects, he can even avoid those students of Confucianism.

Think of the inventors in history, many of them were craftsmen.

But Zhu Qi did not expect that the revitalization of the country through science and education has never been achieved by one person or a small group. This is a question of base.

Why should the country vigorously develop education and ensure education for all?
Isn't it very cost-effective to conduct focused training instead of targeting a certain group?
To put it bluntly, this is to expand a base, the larger the base, the higher the probability of talent.

The more talents there are, the faster the development of the country can be.

Only when a group gathers quantitative changes first, can qualitative changes occur, and scientific giants like Newton and Einstein appear.

There are indeed many craftsmen in Daming, but even if I use the existing craftsmen to continuously drive other craftsmen.

Even if it can be passed on from ten to ten to a hundred, but what about after that?

We have cultivated powerful and knowledgeable craftsmen, but they have no right to speak!
The most important thing is that this base is really too small. It takes a lot of energy, but the harvest may not be much!
So, this is the time for liberal arts to make its debut.

Zhu Qi used to think that liberal arts didn't matter, especially philosophy.

But when I think about it now, after so many years of education, I have actually accepted a set of materialist values ​​subtly.

All I can think about is that if there is anything to debate, it is true to come out and do things quickly.

It was taken for granted by Zhu Qi, but during the Hongwu period, it was a philosophical problem that needed a breakthrough.

In layman's terms, the role of philosophy is to turn Confucian scholars who believe in Zhu Cheng's Confucianism into people like Zhu Qi who take the unity of knowledge and action as a matter of course!

When every scholar in Daming, and even ordinary people, had the same ideas as Zhu Qi, a person who traveled from modern times.

At that time, the whole society will be used as a base to produce multiplied talents.

Of course, many early inventors are craftsmen, but more inventors, more scientific masters, are all people who are learning and brainstorming.

Their theories and achievements continue to advance the technological tree of mankind.

Zhu Qi slapped his thigh and called out:
"Grass! Isn't this a replica of the Renaissance!"

Why is the Western world able to rise rapidly?
Could it be that a Renaissance came first, sweeping away the shackles of religious ignorance and untying the shackles of people's thinking.

When the vast majority of people have accepted the achievements of the Renaissance, this is the era of the blowout of scientific development!
The role of philosophy is to change society!

And now, learning of the mind is an opportunity for the Eastern Renaissance!

Even, Zhu Qi felt that he could take this opportunity to go one step further.

Taking advantage of the current enthusiasm for Xinxue, let this storm sweep away.

Self-thought reform is always better than external force!

Because of my prejudice, I almost missed an opportunity for a "Renaissance".

If he really missed it, Zhu Qi felt that he would regret it for the rest of his life.

It's much easier to promote one's own identity and promote the study of mind than Wang Yangming!

Moreover, the current Ming Dynasty is like a blank sheet of paper, there is no precedent for everything, and there is a hero like Zhu Yuanzhang, which means——

We can do anything!

Zhu Di and the others were startled by Zhu Qi's sudden shout.

Before they had time to ask, Zhu Qi left in a hurry.

Zhu Qi suddenly realized that if he had a direction, he would naturally put it into practice.

He knows it's hard, but he's not alone.

He quickly found Zheng Shiyuan and Liu Bowen.

The two of them didn't know why when they saw His Highness Liao Wang with a serious face, but they were shocked when they heard what His Highness Liao Wang said.

I heard His Royal Highness Liao Wang seriously say:

"About this psychology, my lord, come up with a book."
