People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 123 Small techniques can reveal the great way, the emperor's request
"Art is a way to test the Tao... Others may not understand it that way, but I think so, little nephew!"

Zhang Yi bowed his head and pondered for a while, and gave Zhu Yuanzhang a very novel answer.

"Tao is the subjective interpretation of the world by the sages, just like I think my uncle is a good person..."

Zhang Yi said:
"But I think uncle is a good person, it doesn't necessarily mean that uncle must be a good person!
You may be a gangster wearing a businessman's mask, you may be a hypocrite with a human face, and you may even be the majesty who kills without batting an eye..."

Zhang Yi said casually, but it scared Lao Zhu and his son. What is this guy implying?
Just seeing Zhang Yi's calm expression, the Zhu family father and son knew how much they were thinking!
"If I want to know whether you are a good person, I have to observe and verify it myself. This is the art... But my observation may not be accurate, because this method of observation is not objective enough!

Uncle may be very kind to me, but he is not a filial person. You are sincere to me, but he may be deceived in another place!
The so-called technique is actually a test of self-cognition!
And this so-called test can also be non-objective...

So we also need an objective tool, which can be arithmetic or other..."

"Are you questioning whether the words of the saints are not the truth?"

Zhang Yi's speech is actually very dangerous.

If a Taoist were here, he would point at Zhang Yi and yell at him.

But Lao Zhu himself was not a man of manners, and he still had a vague feeling of sympathy for Zhang Yi's remarks.

"What is truth? The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, which is an objective existence. When the old man sees the sun rising and the moon setting, he feels the passage of time, and the sadness of the spring and autumn is the truth? The children look at the sun rising and the moon setting, counting their fingers and expecting to grow up, and cheering is the truth ?

Now I am a Da Ming believer in Neo-Confucianism, preserving the principles of nature and destroying human desires, and women must abide by women's morals and be a martyr... But what about the mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che?Why is Confucianism the same, who is the truth between the words of the sages in the Han Dynasty and Neo Confucianism?
Just like His Majesty's reform of the imperial examinations, the scholars cannot be changed, but if they remain unchanged, where will Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism come from?And even if His Majesty wants to remain unchanged, can he stop the changes in this world?
In fact, my nephew thinks that the only truth in this world is that change is the only constant!
So instead of thinking about those high-level principles, my nephew cares more about those things that can change my life, not my nephew's conceit,
With a vaccination method, my nephew's contribution to this world is better than all the great scholars in the world! "

Zhang Yi is rarely arrogant, even if he gives advice to others, he always keeps a thin line.

But now that he was getting mad, Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao also looked sideways and said nothing.

He has the capital to be crazy, a seven-year-old child, used Longhu Mountain, and even used him as the emperor to promote the vaccination method.

Today, in the land of Ming Dynasty, the voices of the common people chanting "The Sutra of Surrounding the Miaofa" can be heard endlessly.

The practice of folk vaccination has already taken shape.

It is foreseeable that in the future after the Hongwu Dynasty, although we dare not say that smallpox will be extinct, there will definitely be countless people alive!
Zhang Yi said that the world's great scholars are not as good as him when they are tied together, and this is true to a certain extent!

"In fact, my nephew believes that most of the little changes in the world are accumulated by the little tricks that the scholar-bureaucrats look down upon. The appearance of the stirrup made the cavalry the king of soldiers, and the appearance of the Quyuanli increased the productivity several times. ...,
Papermaking, printing, abacus, loom... Which of these things did not subtly change the world?

Without papermaking, those scholar-bureaucrats still use bamboo slips to write. Without printing, there is no way to spread knowledge!
Those literati and bureaucrats enjoy the changes brought about by the lower Liba people to the world, but they talk about the great way all day long, I don't like it! "

Perhaps it had been a long time since Zhang Yi had expressed his sincere thoughts. After Zhang Yi finished speaking, his face turned a little red. He quickly took a sip of boiling water to moisten his thirsty lips and tongue.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were stunned by his output.

When Lao Zhu came here at this time, he just wanted to ask about his views on the reform of the imperial examination, but who would have thought that Zhang Yi would at least throw two big bombs at him.

One is the admission of mathematics into the imperial examination, and the other is the ills of the clan.

And the discussion between Xiaoshu and Dao derived from this also made Lao Zhu fall into deep thought.

He was originally a farmer, and he didn't have any distinction between Taoism and art.

Confucian scholars, from the beginning of their studies, they have the idea of ​​being superior to others, no matter they are born poor or noble,

Little attention has been paid to minor art changes in the education of those people.

But Lao Zhu was different, he was not born as a scholar, he was able to read, read and learn classics, and he was also taught by Empress Ma behind him, and he also learned it from people like Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen.

Don't look at his admiration for Confucianism and Confucianism, it is because of his ruling needs.

He is essentially a rebel, and he lacks respect for the so-called Confucianism.

On the contrary, it was Zhang Yi's reasoning, which Zhu Yuanzhang quite agreed with.

"Anaithology is the mother of [skills], it seems to make sense!"

Zhang Yi rarely talked a lot today, and Lao Zhu felt that he had to digest it well.

Especially the question about the clan made Zhu Yuanzhang very depressed.

It is the simplest wish of an old farmer to let his children and grandchildren live a better life and to let the Zhu family flourish.

But Zhang Yi, a brat, shattered Lao Zhu's dream with a slap.

Ma De has become the emperor, why can't he even support his offspring?

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had long since stopped thinking about the trivial matter of stereotyped essays. Seeing that he was depressed, Zhang Yi smiled and said:

"Uncle, what are you upset about? You are the emperor. The eunuchs are not in a hurry! About the affairs of the upper class, we low-ranking people can talk behind their backs, and nothing can be changed. Why worry about it!"

"What is unreasonable worry? The fate of us ordinary people is bound to the fate of the country. The rise and fall of the country affects the people, so let's not talk about anything else. Your brother Huang's imperial examinations are all counting on you to guide the way. In the end, I heard When you say that, I'm even more annoyed!"

Zhang Yi glanced at Zhu Biao, he didn't know how his elder brother learned?

However, in terms of probability, the imperial examination is to some extent much more difficult than later generations being admitted to Qingbei. There is a high probability that Huang Mu's qualifications will be useless as a Jinshi, but he will not expose it.

Anyway, to be admitted as a scholar and a scholar, for a businessman's family, it is the glory of the ancestors,

Juren, in particular, had a qualitative leap in political status in the Ming Dynasty.

"Zhang Yi, maybe you can try to change the imperial examination!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden reminder startled both Zhu Biao and Zhang Yi.

Zhu Biao stared blankly at his father, what is he going to do?
And Zhang Yi was even more frightened by Lao Zhu's audacity. Is this businessman really jealous for profit?

Whoever touches the imperial examination will die. How can he, a little Taoist priest, change the imperial examination?
"You forgot, your teacher Xu Cunren? I heard that he was ordered by His Majesty to come up with a plan for the reform of the imperial examination! If you can influence Xu Cunren, you may be able to influence the direction of my imperial examination reform!"

Old Zhu Hong stared at Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi was overwhelmed by Lao Zhu's imagination, and Xu Cunren's free and easy temper was indeed not a pedantic person.

But no matter how free and easy he is, he is after all a Confucian scholar under the influence of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. Even if he likes Mind-Study, Mind-School is essentially tinkering on the basis of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

Asking Xu Cunren to accept what he just said, Zhang Yi estimated that Xu Cunren would turn against him as soon as he said it.

He was about to refuse, Zhu Yuanzhang said:

"You have so much grievance against this world, and you can see the changes in history, why don't you try to change the status quo?
I heard you say that Emperor Hongwu shouldered the historical responsibility of bridging the north and the south. You, Zhang Yi, have obtained the immortal fate of the heavenly book, so why don't you have your responsibility?
If you can look at the world of mortals without moving your heart, I guess you won't look for opportunities to go down the mountain,
If you can ignore the changes in time, you will not drag Longhushan into the water and count all the organs for planning the vaccination law!
If you didn't talk about the influence of Yushu and imperial examinations on future generations, I wouldn't persuade you to say this!
But you have the ability and the opportunity, why not promote the development of history? "

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were very sincere, and Zhang Yi found that his words came to his lips, but he couldn't refuse.

When he went down the mountain, he really planned to watch the world quietly and avoid karma, but by chance, he actually did a lot of things to change the outside world without knowing it.

Zhang Yi is a mortal, at least that's how he defines himself.

Ordinary people will sacrifice their lives for love and retreat for interests,
He always reminded himself that he does not have a high IQ, nor does he have a deep city, and it is the wisest choice to quietly watch the historical changes.

But after Huang He's words, Zhang Yi always felt that his body was hot, and there seemed to be an emotion called impulsiveness brewing in his heart.

Historical responsibility, he never thought that this sentence used to describe Zhu Yuanzhang would be used in turn on himself?
He saw that his Uncle Huang stood up and saluted him solemnly.

Not only Zhang Yi was shocked, but Zhu Biao was also shocked.

Although the father is wearing the skin of a businessman, he has never downgraded his identity to really regard himself as a businessman.

But now, Zhu Yuanzhang bowed to Zhang Yi as Huang He.

This can only prove one thing, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang really recognized Zhang Yi's views, and he hoped that Zhang Yi would promote the reform of the imperial examination.

The teacher is famous, if Lao Zhu directly promotes the reform, it is impossible for Zhang Yi, who is studying in Guozixue, to not know about such a major event that shakes the world.

At that time, no matter how late Zhang Yi was, he would also notice that their father and son's identities were abnormal.

And the only way to make Zhang Yi feel reasonable is to promote the reform by himself.

Xu Cunren is a breakthrough!

You can say a thousand, say ten thousand.

When Lao Zhu went to "beg" Zhang Yi, he expressed that he attached great importance to this matter.

"Uncle, you don't have to!"

It was really wrong to let the elders do this, Zhang Yi jumped up and bowed down to Zhu Yuanzhang.

The old and the young just stood there, and finally Zhang Yi couldn't take it anymore:

"How about I try?"

Zhang Yi's tentative tone displeased Old Zhu,

"Must try, I believe in you!"

"Alright alright!"

Zhang Yi suspected that if he didn't try, Lao Zhu probably didn't intend to leave today.

"By the way, you said that if arithmetic is admitted to the imperial examination, can I let your brother Huang's family learn arithmetic in advance?"

Zhang Yi's blood hadn't boiled for a long time, and Zhu Yuanzhang's words instantly chilled him.

Well, it is said that businessmen are not profitable and can't get up early!Fortunately, he still feels that Huang He has the world in his heart...

Where is this guy's trap?

Zhang Yi suddenly lost his temper and gritted his teeth:
"Uncle, don't worry, I have a lot of math papers here, I'm sure the Huang family brother will have a lot of fun studying, so happy that he will cry!"

Zhu Biao: ...

You two gods are fighting, who have I provoked?
Old Zhu was satisfied when he got the answer he wanted.

"In the future, I will let your Huang family brother come to you to learn arithmetic more, that's it!
If you succeed in this matter, Uncle, I will not be able to live without your benefits! "

"Is something done?"

The father and son got up to leave, and Zhu Biao took a chance to pull Zhang Yi aside to whisper.

"Is that so?"

"Then I'll come find you another day!"

Leave a word, His Royal Highness, catch up with the emperor's back, and leave the Qingxin Temple!
