Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 244 Gao Sui Draws His Sword!Great Confucianism regresses!Psychology comes out!Unity of knowledge and action! 【Subscribe】

All the people present were dumbfounded.

It is true that the Imperial Teacher of the Ming Dynasty has outstanding talents.

But most of what he did was contrary to Confucianism. It is said that the national teacher understands governance and everyone believes that it can be said that the national teacher understands Confucianism.
That's unbelievable!
Not to mention those officials who have studied Confucianism, even the common people don't believe it.

Hearing such words, Kong Maoxue was even more stunned, his mouth was slightly opened as if shocked, and he remained motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

Not to mention the students behind him, they were all in a daze, dumbfounded.

The whole scene suddenly fell silent.

The breeze blew the trees rustling, and Li Xiao stood with his hands behind his back.

Standing on the high platform, his robe was blown loudly, he rubbed his nose, it was obviously summer, why did it turn cold after the Dragon Boat Festival?
Suddenly, there was only a burst of laughter from the audience.

"Hahaha, I heard you right, the national teacher wants to teach Confucianism?"

"You heard it right, that's true, I almost thought I heard it wrong too."

"It's really ridiculous. How dare a person who has never read a book say such a thing."

"I saw that Beiqing University didn't have much to offer. It said it taught Confucianism, but it didn't even have a decent teacher, and the national teacher was required to do it himself."

A group of Confucian scholars laughed and leaned forward, with disbelief on their faces.

"In my opinion, it is clear that Master Guoshi has some ulterior motives, just to fool us."

Suddenly, a Confucian scholar spoke, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

The Confucian scholars became serious again in an instant, and said humanely: "Look at the name of this school, Beiping Qingtian University, which clearly uses his name, Li Qingtian, and the entire university was established on his own will, so How can you teach talents if you are fooling around?"

"It makes sense, it's true!"

Confucian scholars said one after another: "This Beiqing University must not be established, let alone a Confucian church, otherwise, what kind of academics we will be taught is unimaginable!"

At this time, the audience was in chaos, and everyone was talking in low voices.

Seeing this, the officials of the Beiping Mansion planned to call people to drive out these sabotage Confucian scholars.

Li Xiao waved his hand to signal no need, so they didn't do anything.

"National Division."

Kong Maoxue stayed for a long time, and finally spoke. He looked at Li Xiao solemnly, and said coldly: "What the national teacher said just now, is it still a joke?"

He couldn't accept the news that Li Xiao not only wanted to establish this university, but also wanted to teach Confucianism. If so, Confucianism in the world would really be rotten!

Even if you die today, you must stop all of this!
Li Xiao smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "As the Duke of Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, the master of the Ming Dynasty, how can I be a joke?"

When the voice fell, everyone was even more dumbfounded.

"Ridiculous! Absurd!"

Kong Maoxue pointed at Li Xiao, and shouted: "Is the national teacher really making such a decision? You plan to dig out the roots of Confucianism, completely cut off Confucianism, and let the world learn from your crooked ways! No!"

"Arrogance! How dare you talk to the national teacher like that!"

Jin Yiwei Zhu Gaosui, who is in charge of guarding today, has been on the scene all the time. He was silent all the time, but he saw someone pointing at his brother-in-law in public. Can he bear it?

Qiang Qiang——

The sound of drawing a knife suddenly sounded, and countless Jinyi guards with knives came in from the side.

Zhu Gaosui pointed and ordered: "Take them all!"

"Wait!"

Li Xiao stopped it.

"Who dares to touch my respected teacher!"

Those Confucian scholars in the back also pulled out short knives. These short knives were originally used to commit suicide, but now they have become weapons.

The two sides suddenly clashed with swords, and the officials next to them were so scared that they retreated a few steps. The swords had no eyes, and they were afraid of accidentally hurting themselves.

"Okay! You came here with murder weapons, intending to assassinate the national teacher!"

Zhu Gaosui was overjoyed, he had never been able to find any good reason to arrest these Confucian scholars, but now he has a reason, and now he can catch them all!
Zhu Gaosui was about to arrest these people.

Li Xiao said: "Gao Sui, step back, these short knives they hold are only a few inches long, it takes a lot of effort to kill a chicken, they are not murder weapons."

Zhu Gaosui didn't believe it: "If it's not a murder weapon, what else is it, brother-in-law, you don't need to say more, this matter is left to my younger brother."

Zhu Gaosui pulled out the Xiuchun knife, the fierce expression on his face made one's heart shudder, and the cold air spread from his body.

This is the evil spirit that has been cultivated in Jinyiwei all the year round!
Ordinary officials are afraid when they see it, let alone these Confucian scholars, and they can't help trembling slightly.

There was no one who dared to stop him, that was Jin Yiwei, who would dare to stop him?
Everyone couldn't help but looked at the group of Confucian scholars with sympathy, falling into Zhu Gaosui's hands, fearing that life would be worse than death, and death would be cruel!

"Gao Sui, step back, do you want me to say it a third time?"

Li Xiao accentuated his tone and looked at Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Gaosui faced the group of Confucian scholars, and then turned his head to look at Li Xiao behind him, his expression changed immediately. To outsiders, he was cold.

With another friendly face towards Li Xiao, he whispered, "Brother-in-law, I have tolerated these Confucian scholars for a long time. Today they carry murder weapons and have evil intentions. It is a good time to catch them all."

Li Xiaodao: "Gao Sui, even if we catch them, so what, the symptoms are not cured, the world is not only these Confucian scholars, if you do this, you will only provoke the wrath of the Confucian scholars all over the world, and the trouble will get bigger and bigger. Step back, I will convince them with reason."

"What?" Zhu Gaosui was stunned for a moment, and said, "Brother-in-law, if you want to convince these rotten scholars with reason, it may be harder than ascending to the sky!"

Li Xiao frowned and said, "Can't you trust brother-in-law?"

"This"

Thinking of his brother-in-law's abilities, Zhu Gaosui murmured: "Brother-in-law, what do you use to convince them?"

Li Xiaodao: "They are studying Confucianism, so I will use Confucianism to convince them!"

Zhu Gaosui is even more confused now. Although his brother-in-law is great, he rarely reads books, let alone Confucian books. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to say later?

But now that my brother-in-law is speaking, I don't have much to say, so I can only turn my head to look at Kong Mao's disciples and say, "You really don't know what is good and what is wrong, and you actually went to the street with a murder weapon. If the national teacher is not here, I will definitely take you all down, but Master Guoshi is magnanimous, thinking that you are the first offender, if you don’t drop your weapons quickly, I will forgive you.”

"No need."

Li Xiao looked at Kong Maoxue and said, "Kong Daru, there is a saying that the body, hair and skin of the parents, life is precious, why seek death? You came here today, do you intend to go back alive?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone understood that these swords were used by Confucian scholars to seek death, and this national teacher really knew the details.

"Hmph! Now Confucianism has come to the point of life and death. Your Great Ming Imperial Master has great power and high prestige. We can't beat you, so we can only do this!"

Kong Mao studied righteousness Ling Ran, and said: "Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. You can't have both, and those who give up life for righteousness!"

As soon as the words fell, the faces of the Confucian scholars behind them all became fearless. The Confucian scholars who could follow here have already disregarded life and death!
"Why bother"

Li Xiao sighed and said, "Life is precious."

To be honest, these Confucian scholars are often against him, but he doesn't hate them very much in his heart, they are just too deeply influenced by Confucianism.

"Why be hypocritical, I don't need your sympathy."

Kong Maoxue's eyes were full of Xiao Suo's meaning: "Today is our voluntary, you don't understand our mood at all, you don't understand why we do this at all, your heart is already filled with desire, and our thoughts It's not on the same level as you at all."

Li Xiao smiled and did not argue.

But such a smile, in the eyes of Kong Maoxue, has a hint of contempt.

Zhu Gaosui found that these students still had no intention of putting down their knives. According to this, they didn't use knives to hurt people, but came to seek death.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Gaosui waved his hand and took Jin Yiwei away.

The scene calmed down again in an instant.

Kong Maoxue looked at Li Xiao, and said loudly: "National teacher, today you said that you want to use reason to explain me, so let's talk about it! What do you want to say?"

Li Xiao said lightly: "Of course it's about Confucianism."

Kong Maoxue sneered and said, "Okay! Since you want to talk about Confucianism, let's talk about it!"

After finishing the words, he pointed to the most prosperous place in Beiping in the distance, and said:
"Sage Zhu has something to say, thousands of words are just to teach people to preserve the principles of nature and destroy human desires.

Look at your Beiping city, you are filled with indulgent desires everywhere!

You are a big businessman, and the merchant is filled with the desire for money.Daxing restaurant is full of desire for tongue.Daxing Brothel Nightclub is full of lust.
For a long time, the desire in everyone's heart has been continuously magnified, how can the world not be chaotic.

When your national teacher is there, you can still suppress it. If you are not here, what will happen?

People's desires will be infinitely magnified. Once such desires cannot be filled, there is no doubt that the world will be chaotic! ! "

In a word, there are reasons and evidence.

This is the Confucianism that flourishes in the Ming Dynasty today.

The third-generation Confucian saint Zhu Xi revered by countless people.

Zhu Xi's philosophy is: Preserve the principles of nature and eliminate human desires.

People must control their desires!
Confucianism has been used by nobles to rule common people since ancient times.

Today's Supreme Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang also studied Confucianism, but he did not study Confucius and Mencius.

The first generation of sages is Confucius, and the second generation of sages is Mencius.

To Zhu Yuanzhang, Confucianism was not so lofty, but a tool.

Mencius, in particular, put forward that "the people are more important than the emperor", and believed that a tyrant is an "only man" who can be overthrown by the people, and that only benevolent governance can unify the world.

Because of this sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang was very displeased with Mencius.

In the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang read "Mencius" again, and saw that "the king treats his ministers like dirt, and the ministers regard him like a bandit." After this sentence, he was furious.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered people to drive Mencius out of the Confucian Temple, and said sternly: "And if there are anyone who advises, he will be punished as disrespectful."

No one dared to disobey Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and he also learned Zhu Xi's theory.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Zhu Xi's theory was most suitable for the rule of the dynasty.

Yu Guan, if all officials can control their desires, there will be no corruption and bribery.

For the people, keep yourself safe, have fields, have food to eat, and live in peace.

Yu Shang, don't be unkind and do evil for the sake of being rich, and the world will be peaceful.

But all of this changed after meeting Li Xiao.

Zhu Yuanzhang found that even if he studied Confucianism, people's desires were still difficult to control, and it was better to avoid them than to block them, so he allowed Li Xiao to change.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Since the salary of Baiguan has been increased, there has been much less corruption and bribery, and the work has become more efficient.

"Hey, Confucianism, Confucianism, this Confucianism, is indeed about to change now!"

Li Xiao felt silent when he saw this scene.

Since Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty dismissed hundreds of schools and only respected Confucianism, the Confucian class was expanded and the imperial power was sanctified.

The royal family and the Confucian class gradually obtained increasingly profound vested interests from Confucianism.

In order to protect and expand their vested interests, also from the Western Han Dynasty, the royal family and the Confucian class cooperated with each other to suppress and suppress other theories and social groups (such as businessmen, scientific and technological workers, rangers, etc.).

The Chinese society will always be in a state of small-scale peasant economy that relies on imperial power and patriarchal system to maintain order.

This model of social stratification with the same vested interests of all components of the ruling class makes the vested interests of the ruling class a very powerful force resisting social change.

This is the reason why Confucianism has ruled China for more than [-] years, and it is also a very important reason why it is difficult for Chinese society to achieve industrialization and modernization.

Of course, these Confucian scholars would not think so.

Preserving the principles of nature and destroying human desires are what the sages said, how can it be wrong?
"Li Xiao, you still say you understand Confucianism, do you understand that Confucianism will make Beiping Mansion like this?"

"People have to restrain their own desires, but in Beiping, I only see materialistic desires flying around! There are places where money is spent everywhere, and places for pleasure are more varied than anywhere else."

"Everyone in Beiping Mansion is working hard to make money in order to indulge their desires."

Confucian scholars were filled with righteous indignation and attacked Li Xiao with this incident.

"Then there is a nightclub called Jinbihuihuang in Beiping Mansion. The shopkeeper behind it is Li Xiongzhi, who is opened by the dog leg of the National Teacher's sect."

Another Confucian scholar pointed at Li Xiao and shouted.

"Li Xiao, tell me, is the nightclub you opened a violation of what the sage Zhu Xi said about destroying human desires?"

As he said that, the Confucian scholar looked at the crowd and shouted: "In this magnificent nightclub, a glass of wine costs more than a dozen taels of silver, and the most expensive wine costs 1000 taels of silver, and even accompanied by dancing girls, it costs 20 taels of silver. Luxuriant and rich, wine and meat Linchi!"

The voice fell.

Everyone who received such news was amazed.

Especially those officials and common people were even more amazed.

This is too exaggerated, the most expensive bottle of wine is 1000 taels of silver a bottle, you will never earn so much money in your life.
Everyone looked at Li Xiao.

The officials of the Beiping Mansion were all sweating for Li Xiao, it was really difficult to answer.

Not to mention the officials of the imperial court, they were also the first officials in the Confucian-born imperial examinations, but they had already compromised, and they compromised after being raised by Li Xiao.

Although these officials studied Confucianism, they did not actually follow what the sage said.

Therefore, these court officials could not help but bow their heads in shame.

Everyone looked at Li Xiao to see how he would answer.

However, Li Xiao pointed to the Confucian scholar who mentioned the nightclub just now and said, "What's the name of that person?"

The Confucian scholar patted his chest and said: "If you don't want to change your name, if you don't sit down, you don't want to change your surname, Zhao Lin from Zhao family in Shandong!"

The Zhao family in Shandong is also a well-known noble family in the local area.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Master Zhao, the family must be quite rich, right?"

"There is some money at home."

Zhao Lin came back to his senses and said, "Why are you asking these questions?"

Li Xiao smiled and said: "A glass of wine costs more than a dozen taels of silver, and the most expensive bottle of wine costs 1000 taels of silver, and even accompanied by dancing girls, it costs 20 taels of silver. What you said just now, if you are an outsider, if you have never been there, how do you know so clearly?"

With this remark,
Countless eyes were cast on Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin also felt that he had said the wrong thing, and he was too ashamed, so he hurriedly defended: "I, I, I just went to have a look, to see how excessive this is in Peking."

"what"

There was a sigh of relief among the people.

Kong Maoxue looked at Zhao Lin as if he hated iron and steel, and scolded: "It's really a waste of my teaching you, how can you go to such a dubious place?"

"Master, I." Zhao Lin blushed.

"Hey!" Kong Maoxue waved his robe, knowing that he had said so much just now, and was beaten back to his original shape by this Zhao Lin.

"Kong Daru, look."

Li Xiao smiled and said: "Your student Zhao Lin learned Confucianism from you, hehe, but he hasn't gone to that kind of place. What does that mean? Humans have emotions and desires. The desires in people's hearts are If you can’t be blocked, it’s like Dayu’s control of the water. It’s better to be blocked than to be blocked. You are too obsessed with destroying human desires, and you ignore the principles of nature. Work hard, make money legally, and spend money legally. This is the principle of nature. Why not ?”

Kong Maoxue argued: "If you don't have desires, you can be strong. Zhao Lin didn't learn much. He is just an example, and he can't replace Confucian scholars like us. The national teacher should not generalize and take ideas out of context!"

Li Xiao said with a smile: "If you don't want to be strong, this is a very high level, and it is difficult for us ordinary people to achieve it. If everyone can do it, I, Li Xiao, will cancel the reform immediately and agree with both hands. But in fact, Kong Daru, you will take life and death seriously I believe you can do it, but what about the world? Can you ask everyone to reach this level?"

Kong Maoxue shook his head, and said in shame: "Actually, I haven't reached this level, let alone let everyone reach it."

Li Xiao said with a smile: "That's right, this is the truth. Human desires cannot be eliminated. Human beings are just a mass of desires. We are not saints, and we cannot demand ourselves according to the standards of saints."

Speaking of this, those court officials who had lowered their heads in shame raised their heads again.

The national teacher is right, indeed, where are there so many saints in the world.

Although everyone studies the articles of the sages every day, they can't do it. In the final analysis, it is not for the sake of prosperity and wealth, so that their lives can be better.

"People in the world can't panic without a few taels of silver, but a few taels of silver can relieve all panic. People can't avoid it. Even monks have to collect some incense money to support themselves."

Li Xiao smiled lightly: "Kong Daru, let me ask you, when you came to the capital together, there were probably a thousand people, plus the students who came to Peiping all day, there were probably as many as 1 people. But today, why are you a hundred people coming here?"

Kong Maoxue was stopped by the question for a while, and he was stunned for a while before he said: "The world is going down, people's hearts are not old!"

"hey-hey."

Li Xiao smiled and said: "It seems that Kong Daru didn't find out the reason. If you don't mind, can I ask my national teacher to help you analyze it."

Kong Maoxue snorted, folded his hands in front of his chest, stood sideways, and said, "Let's listen."

Li Xiao said with a smile: "First, you used to have a thousand people, but now you have a hundred people. I looked at it and found that none of the people who dived during the Dragon Boat Festival came.

why?Because they tried it once, walked through the gate of hell, and understood the value of life.

Humans have three emotions and six desires, which cannot be cut off. This is driven by the desire to survive. If you can live, who is willing to die? Life is the most amazing creation of nature, and we must respect life!

The remaining students of yours didn't come, not because they were greedy for life and afraid of death, but because they understand the value of life! "

Kong Maoxue paused, and murmured: "What you said has two points of truth. In the face of big right and wrong, those who dare to die are a minority after all."

Li Xiao smiled, and continued: "As for the countless students, it's still the same sentence. You are standing too high and can't see the scenery below. Have you seen the hardships of those poor students? A Fan Jinzhongju, There are so many sufferings in the world. Countless scholars are struggling in the sea of ​​suffering, just to become famous in one fell swoop, but a few people can pass the exam, and those who fail the exam may not be without talent!! It is righteousness for them not to come. This imperial examination involves Their own interests, but they still give up to make trouble, why? Because they are suffering, and do not want more people like them to continue to suffer in the future! Although they did not show their ambition by death, it is not a performance of sacrificing their lives for righteousness. Now my own interests are exchanged for the future of countless people!"

After these words, Kong Maoxue couldn't help but be moved.

He also went to watch that movie secretly, and when he saw the end, he felt sad.

Are Confucianism and imperial examinations really like this?

He didn't believe it, and asked many students in private, and found that it was indeed the case, as Li Xiao said.

Recalling what Li Xiao said, Kong Maoxue couldn't help but look at Li Xiao, his heart moved.

This young man talks and laughs with ease, as if he knew that he could persuade himself?Does he really have this confidence?
"The imperial examination can be cancelled, and what you call the national examination can be replaced, isn't it still the same?"

Kong Maoxue's tone softened a little.

"No, not the same, very different!"

Li Xiao said with a smile: "In the previous imperial examinations, only those who passed the imperial examination could become officials, but I will abolish the administration of officials. At that time, there will be no distinction between officials and officials, and all will be officials. There will be countless more official positions. It's just that the officials are big and small. The difference, with such a change, even if it is a scholar, more talented people will be allowed to serve the court! There will be no tragedy like Fan Jin."

The words fall.

Kong Maoxue was startled and said, "Are you going to abolish the administration of officials?"

Li Xiao nodded.

During Wen's time, countless people on the scene were shocked!

Kong Maoxue was even more delighted, it turned out that Li Xiao was going to do such a big thing!
Officials and officials are separated.

An official is an official, and an official is an official!
Officials need to be tested, but officials can be tested or not.

There is a lot of room for manipulation here. Most of the court officials are related households, and there will be loopholes if they can be recommended.

Most of the local officials' officials are monopolized by local people, and they are all related households.

If the officials are abolished, more scholars can be reused, and more scholars can display their talents, which is a great thing!

Kong Maoxue couldn't help looking at Li Xiao in surprise, he didn't expect him to make such a choice, but by doing so, it undoubtedly affected the interests of many people, Li Xiao really wanted to make the world an enemy!
Kong Maoxue began to admire Li Xiao, and slowly said: "No wonder you want to set up so many subjects in the university. It turned out to be for this step. The National Teacher is really far-sighted. Although what you said before has some truth, I still don't agree. against the Word"

In the end, Kong Maoxue still disagreed with Li Xiao's statement, thinking that the sage was right, but he still admired him: "But what the national teacher said, I admire you!"

After finishing speaking, Kong Maoxue said again: "In this way, you and I will each take a step back. The old man is willing to enter your university and teach you Confucianism. How about it?"

Kong Maoxue thought that as long as Confucianism continued to take root, he would be willing to be wronged.
"That's really nice."

Li Xiao said with a smile: "My national teacher, I can't ask for it!"

"Really?" Kong Maoxue's eyes lit up.

He never expected that Li Xiao would agree to such a request. Could it be that Li Xiao is so generous?
At this time, Kong Maoxue was actually a little moved by Li Xiao's words, and he really lacked understanding of the sufferings of the people.

As for Li Xiao, he felt that Li Xiao's intentions were good and he understood the sufferings of the world.

But the words of the saint cannot be refuted!
It is better to help him by yourself, teach Confucianism, and continue to pass on the words of the saints.

Li Xiao nodded and said with a smile, "Really, but you can't teach Zhu Xi the sage's theory."

Kong Maoxue frowned and said, "Do you want to learn from Confucius and Mencius? I don't care, but the Holy One strictly prohibits you from learning the words of Confucius and Mencius."

Li Xiao shook his head: "It's not Confucius and Mencius either."

Kong Maoxue said: "Neither Confucius, Mencius, nor Zhu Xi is a sage. Is there a fourth sage in this world? Tell me, whose Confucianism do you want to learn from?"

Li Xiao pointed to himself: "My teacher."

When the words fell, everyone turned pale with shock.

Kong Maoxue broke down again, and said loudly: "Master, you are going too far, the old man has already taken a step back, are you really going to kill the old man, and these apprentices of the old man? If you insist on doing this, today we can only die Mingzhi!"

Li Xiao shook his head: "No, it's just that the master of the country has his own understanding of Confucianism. Han Yu once said that there are no young or old in learning, and those who have mastered it first. Can't the teachers of the country teach Confucianism theory? Is Confucianism always going to continue the predecessors? , Is it immutable? Times are changing, and Confucianism will naturally change too.”

"Good! Good! Good!"

Kong Maoxue pointed at Li Xiao and shouted: "Then you should tell me and listen to me. I will listen to you."

The audience was solemn and looked at Li Xiao.

But more than why.

In the eyes of everyone at this moment, Li Xiao felt unfathomable.

Today is slightly cool, the wind keeps blowing, no one in the arena speaks, it is extremely quiet, the wind blows over Li Xiao's robe, but he is motionless, there is a faint sound of gold and jade vibrations on his body, as if a statue stands there, with deep eyes, Insight into the holy.

Li Xiao smiled faintly, looked at the sky, and looked at the earth. He knew that it was time for the Mind Learning to come out, change the current structure of Confucianism, and promote the development of Ming Dynasty.

Quiet and far-reaching, as if seeing a fire.

Standing on the high platform, Li Xiao looked at the crowd with an air of arrogance and arrogance, looking down on all beings:

"Knowledge is followed by action, and action is accompanied by knowledge. Introspection, restraint, and unity of knowledge and action"

The words fall.

Everyone trembled in their hearts. The principle of "the unity of knowledge and action" seemed to be ringing in the ears, which shocked people's hearts!
sky.

The rays of the sun rise everywhere, colorful rainbows emerge out of thin air, and the righteousness of the sky descends vastly
It's actually a vision of heaven and earth!
The vision appears, the saint appears!
