General Constitution of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 194 Chicken Crowing Conference
Did Jinshen betray Xinxue, or Xinxue betrayed Jinshen?

No one will ever know.

It was only after Ning Jue hanged the rich man Wu in Houbang Village in Xishan on the city wall of Xishan because he was forced to catch tenants all over the street in autumn.

The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River have already sensed that something is wrong.

It's agreed that we'll go for an outing together, and you merchants climbed up the car, so what's the matter with the saddles on us? !
"A bunch of stinky businessmen, even if the Tartars are here, you will all have to rank at the bottom of the nine ranks. Now holding the saint tablet, you want to climb up? Wishful thinking! I still have the orthodoxy of the holy religion in Ming Dynasty!"

In the early days, there was no change in the court situation, and everyone just sang along with arty and elegant.

It's just that when Jiajing took the money rake all over the world to collect money.

It's time for brothers to settle accounts.

Psychology may become a temporary study in just 20 years.

But some things cannot be changed in 20 years.

For example, some officials lived on the land rent of their tenants 20 years ago. After 20 years, there is a high probability that their family will still live on the land rent.

Nie Bao, who was at the core of this court discussion, already sensed that something was wrong.

Before entering the palace, Xinxue was still in the absolute majority.

After a few people stir.

Many of the "undergraduates of Xinxue" who had been chatting with each other in the academy earlier had already mingled among the crowd and started to pretend to be dead.

If you continue to scold like this, I'm afraid this group of people will jump back.

"Du Yuwen! Don't yell anymore, let's discuss the matter. If you insist on discussing it clearly, Guozijian, Confucian Temple, Chongwen Academy, Chongzheng Academy, you can choose. You and I sit and discuss. The matter discussed today is Ning Ke's final insult. Sven thing!"

Compared with Neo Confucianism, the biggest advantage of Xinxue is the discussion of Dao.

The way of Neo Confucianism lies in things, and it is necessary to study things to gain knowledge.

What Xinxue pays attention to is an epiphany, the Tao is in the heart, and it pays attention to adapting to the situation. As long as it can be turned out from the heart, it is the Tao.

Hearing Nie Bao's words, he pulled back Ning Jue who had been watching the excitement from the sidelines.

It has to be your old leopard!
Finally someone wanted to see me.

When Zhu Xi was alive, he didn't have the philosophy of winning the debate, let alone these juniors today.

To Nie Bao's surprise, Du Luan refused to give an inch, as if he was waiting for Nie Bao to mention this.

"How do you convict Ning Kezhong if you haven't obtained the fruit of the Dao?"

Nie Bao was startled at first.

Then he gritted his teeth and let out a long breath: "Then it is said that if you can prove the fruit that the sages failed to prove 300 years ago, today you and I will not be in vain."

It wasn't until this moment that Nie Bao gradually calmed down. After thinking about it, it was not difficult to notice that he might have fallen into Du Luan's trap because he didn't notice it for a while.

It's just that Nie Bao can't be blamed for this.

No matter how sane a person is, he will not be sane if his teeth are pulled out with a board.

Heard to argue.

The eyes of Zhu Zaixun, Zhang Juzheng and many officials who were originally taciturn all brightened.

If there is anything that can attract this group of scholar-officials than Fu Que Shaking the Gate.

That must be a theory.

Fu Que shakes the door to stand up, but discussing the Tao is to stand up for the past saints.

The country will change hands, the society will change, but the holy religion will last forever, and the names of those who attended the meeting will go down in history. The Ehu meeting back then will go down in history.

"Okay! Let's discuss, Mr. Zhang, where can we discuss this?"

Zhang Juzheng, who was beside Zhu Zaiyu, also said excitedly: "Your Highness, this grand event has been selected as a quiet place. I dare to follow the example of Ehu Temple and participate in this grand event at Jiming Temple in Beicheng."

"good!"

Compared with Ning Jue burning a few innocuous books, the ministers are obviously more concerned about this upcoming "big event".

Thirty years ago, when the study of the mind first emerged but Neo-Confucianism still existed, Jiajing swept away all the original Confucianists of Neo-Confucianism from the court just because of a great ceremony.

Almost overnight, Xinxue completed the replacement of Neo Confucianism.

It all happened so fast that everyone felt like something was missing in the middle.

Zhang Juzheng is in charge of management, and Mai Fu is ready to spend.

The officials are also re-choosing their positions, and everyone is preparing for their work.

Under the huge Fengtian sect.

Only Ning Jue was left alone in the wind.
-
Du Luan's abnormality disrupted Nie Bao's plan.

After returning from Fengtianmen, Nie Bao immediately gathered the Xinxuemen in Nanjing.

He Qian, Xiang Yuanbian and others flocked to him, and even He Xinyin hid in a brand new carriage and appeared in the mansion where Nie Bao lived.

It's just that when he saw Xiang Yuanbian with a crystal hanging around his waist.

Someone in the hall pulled his face down.

"Mr. Shuangjiang, the cock crowing event is for the purpose of reuniting. Mr. Mo Lin, a merchant, participated in such a grand event, and I thought it was inconsistent with the regulations."

The expressions of Nie Bao and Xiang Yuanbian did not change at all.

Psychology compared to philosophy.

The biggest difference is that Xinxue has brought businessmen in.

This is also the basis for the study of the mind to achieve its prosperity today. What is the basic disk of the study of the mind, Nie Bao is very clear in his heart.

"It's a pity that I can no longer share the same path with the princes."

After all, everyone didn't tear their faces apart, and they came to Nie's house to give Nie Bao another face in the end.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that merchants are getting bigger and bigger, and sooner or later they will shake the foundation of the gentry.

Nie Bao got up personally and sent all the officials out of the house, and waited until Nie Bao returned to the hall again.

This is the only real disciple of Xinxue left in the hall.

"Everyone has their own aspirations, and I hope Mo Lin will not take offense."

Xiang Yuanbian nodded slightly.

"It's not what we want to be difficult, but this cock crowing meeting may not be easy."

Nie Bao sat back on the chair again, sighed and said leisurely: "Du Luan made a sudden attack, and there is no new talent in Neo Confucianism, I am afraid that someone from the past is about to show up."

"Old man? Two capitals and 13 provinces, the only one who can afford Mr. Yang Yongxiu is the only one who can afford Mr. Yang Yongxiu. Mr. can do his best. The grand event in the literary world has never happened in 300 years. Our generation has lived up to it. Sages."

Nie Bao smiled when he heard this.

"Compared to xinxing, the old man feels ashamed when he sees Mo Lin."

Nie Bao wanted to say a few words about He Xinyin, but seeing He Xinyin's "harmless to humans and animals" smile, and thinking about He Xinyin's temper, Nie Bao finally swallowed the words.

Xiang Yuanbian just said "ashamed".

For businessmen like Xiang Yuanbian, what kind of mind-learning, what is the "New Four People's Theory" was just that they came to support them for the convenience of dealing with the nobles when doing business.

You don't need to be ignorant, you only need to have an epiphany in your heart, and you can understand that the "heart learning" has given businessmen a chance to be arty.

So that they don't have to spend a lot of time on studying hard.

You only need to get a rough grasp of the surface, and you can find common topics with those noble people who control their "life and death".

This is a doctrine tailored for them.

But that too was in the past.

The situation in the world has changed greatly, and the importance of mind learning to businessmen is no longer what it used to be.

If it doesn't work, just vote for Zou Wang.

It was just a not-so-successful investment. After spending a long time in the mall, I got used to it.

"Gentlemen, it's really a coincidence. From this point of view, it's better for Xiang, a merchant, not to show up for the cock crowing meeting."

Nie Bao hurriedly said: "If Mo Lin said these things, he would be offended. If the court is still the same as before, it will not be determined to make new laws."

Before Nie Bao finished speaking, Xiang Yuanbian spoke.

"It's not just this matter. Xiang just received an urgent report today, and there are some changes in business, and he wants me to go around. It's God's will. The cock crowing conference can only be entrusted to you gentlemen."

Seeing what Xiang Yuanbian said, Nie Bao gave up, and exchanged some pleasantries with everyone, Xiang Yuanbian got up and left Nie's house.

Xiang Yuanbian, who left Nie's house, didn't have any expectations for the grand event that was just around the corner. After getting into the carriage, he casually ordered: "I'm not going home, go directly to the pier."

"Here."

Obviously, in Songjiang, there is something more attractive to Xiang Yuanbian than these Confucian scholars discussing Taoism and going down in history.

After Xiang Yuanbian took the few merchants away, Nie Bao led people to prepare for the debate topic at the cock crowing meeting.

midnight.

Looking at the moonlight in the sky, Nie Bao couldn't help but feel emotional.

"In the past, a hundred schools of thought contended for prosperity, but now we can finally see it."

Since ancient times, all dynasties have regarded the contention of a hundred schools of thought as the highest ideal.

A violent collision of ideas is always based on a major change in the economic foundation.

New ideas are being produced all the time in this world, but the so-called collision of ideas can only happen when there is a major change in the economic foundation.

Its essence is that the old and new interest groups have a need for debate on their core interests.

This need feeds a variety of new ideas that form their own systems.

And the general trend of history is the process of washing away these thoughts that have just formed a system.

It is called the contention of a hundred schools of thought by history books.

It has never been the contention of a hundred schools of thought that created a peaceful and prosperous world, but when the phenomenon of contention of a hundred schools of thought appeared, it meant that a major change that could affect the entire economic foundation had already begun.

This is just a prelude.

Last time, it was the iron utensils that ignited the controversy, but this time, it was silver like the tide.

Silver will serve as a catalyst that will accelerate change to the greatest extent possible.
-
On the same day, Zhu Zaiyong personally wrote a plaque of "will return to one" and hung it in the Jiming Temple, which has already earned enough attention.

And when the lone boat from Yunnan sailed into Jinling, it completely pushed the expectations of the Jiangnan scholars for this conference to the extreme. Ba Fujian and Zhejiang, Qilu Central Plains, Jiangyou Jiangyou in Jiangnan, Huguang Shuzhong... Scholars all over the world Everyone pays attention to it, and all the people who go to Ningxia at the Chengguan of Shuiyi.

Du Luan and all the left-behind veterans showed up at the Jinling Water Station.

The boat under the willow is still not stable.

If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus with wine, it doesn't seem like you are a teenager.

The high-spirited young man back then has already known his destiny.

Looking at the old figure at the bow, Du Luan was already in tears.

"It's been 26 years since we left Zuoshunmen, brother Sheng'an, are you safe?"
