"..."

"What?"

Emperor Hongzhi was completely shocked.

This Wu Shizhong, was he kidnapped and given a drink?

What the hell?

Liu Jian sighed in his heart, he regretted it a bit, Wu Shizhong has always been steady and an upright person, although he is only a mere employee of the Ministry of Rites, but Liu Jian once talked with him, this man is a man who can be made.

But he never expected that Miansheng would make such a big mess today.

The imperial court has never prohibited scholars from insisting on learning anything, and this point is actually quite lenient.

However, it was imperially appointed, and Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism was the only commentary for the imperial examination.

What does it mean?

That is to say, no matter how good your stereotyped essay is, if you want to write stereotyped essays, you have to follow Master Zhu's train of thought.

Therefore, although some schools of thought began to emerge in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, these schools were mostly regional, such as Luo School, Zhejiang School and so on.

For scholars, the most important thing is fame after all.

Since the Southern Song Dynasty, Neo Confucianism flourished, especially when the Hu people began to invade the south continuously, which made Confucianism, which was famous for its boldness, become increasingly conservative.

Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty really dared to go out and kill people with swords. In the early Western Han Dynasty, Huang-Lao’s theory flourished, and Confucianism was suppressed. They were staunch opponents of the war against the Huns, but the Confucian scholars screamed to support Emperor Wu in fighting the Huns. The Gongyang School even held high the ideas of "great revenge", "great unification" and external expansion. , Although it is far away, it must be punished, but it is actually the core idea of ​​the Gongyang School. They believe that if the truth cannot make people surrender, then they should use their fists to solve it.

But in fact, although they talk about reasoning and the like, more often than not, they first chop you into meat paste, and then slowly reason with you.

Ban Chao, who was sent to the Western Regions to kill people everywhere, intimidated Hexi, and made the countries in the Western Regions surrender, was a Confucian student, and he regarded himself as Gongyang Confucianism.

Of course, such violence is wrong.

It’s just that in the Southern Song Dynasty, the royal family was peaceful and Neo Confucianism flourished. Rather than saying that Zhu Xi and others rewrote the history of Confucianism, it might be better to say that the peaceful social environment at that time caused Confucianism to become more conservative.

When it came to Daming, the social ecology and social atmosphere of Daming were actually quite different from those of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Ever since, a group of scholars, deep in their hearts, began to question Neo Confucianism.

Why is the truth in the book completely different from what I have seen and heard?

Wu Shizhong is one of them. Deep in his heart, he has always had a huge question hidden in his heart.

Why are these principles completely useless after I embarked on an official career? Why do you talk about preserving the principles of nature and eliminating human desires every day, but in the market, human desires are rampant, and world conditions are everywhere?

Why in the past hundreds of years, relying on Confucianism, not only has the world not been governed, but it has faintly begun to decline day by day?

Investigate things to know, but how to learn things?

He was in the Ministry of Rites, facing the vast sea of ​​documents, watching what happened in the court, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out.

Even he himself did not expect that Xishan and his party shocked him.

It turned out that I couldn't figure it out all the time. After reading so many books, I still couldn't understand the truth here.

If even a person with a dignified Jinshi background can't figure out the reason behind it, can't find the true knowledge in the vast sea, and find the key to the truth, then... what about the others?

These tens of thousands of people, don't they all read books for nothing? In addition to stereotyped articles, what is the use of decades of cold windows?

In Xishan, he suddenly realized that Wang Shouren's level was still very limited at this time, but he wanted to inherit what his mentor had learned, and the direction he pointed out gave Wu Shizhong a feeling of enlightenment.

It turned out to be the case.

Today, his gaffe in front of His Majesty was, to some extent, an instinctive resistance.

I have read Cheng Zhu for decades, only to realize that you are fucking kidding me. I used to be unable to figure out where Cheng Zhu was wrong, but now I suddenly have a direction, so I almost started to overcorrect.

This is like the rotten Confucianists in the late Qing Dynasty who suddenly saw the world with their eyes open. Those Confucian scholars who were sent to study abroad only realized that the world had been turned upside down after traveling across the ocean, so they turned to breed countless resentments against Confucianism. , Some people even resentfully pointed out that all Chinese culture is useless, not only to criticize Confucianism, but even square characters are an eyesore.

This is not necessarily because those overseas students went crazy and started counting classics and forgetting their ancestors. What's more, they have learned for more than ten years in their life, only to find out that the stereotype is actually a waste! In front of Mr. De and Mr. Sai, he was vulnerable, so he developed a rebellious mentality, which is purely overkill.

Wu Shizhong is overcorrecting. The principles Xishan has learned are like swords in his hands. Even though there are still many imperfections in these theories, with this sword, he can't wait to plunge it straight into Master Zhu's heart. Your uncle, call you Fooled me for ten years!

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Wu Shizhong, dumbfounded. He couldn't understand Wu Shizhong's feelings.

Liu Jian said heartbrokenly: "Back off!"

Wu Shizhong looked a little confused

Unexamined, he knew he had made a mistake.

So he glanced at Liu Jian apologetically, but he didn't feel ashamed because of his behavior just now.

He is confident that although he is a courtier, as a scholar, he has said what he should say.

He saluted and Xu Bu left.

There was an instant silence in the warm pavilion.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly, and he said in confusion, "This Wu Shizhong, what did he say?"

No one answered him, because what Wu Shizhong said was just a few words, more like crazy words.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed, "I'm confused." He shook his head, his eyes revealed puzzlement.

But Wu Shizhong's 'nonsense' made Liu Jian feel uneasy.

On the one hand, it is out of worry about Wu Shizhong, a young man. After all, there are not many people who can be favored by Liu Jian. It would be a pity if he lost his life because of something.

On the other hand, His Royal Highness, don't you run to the west mountain every day now?

So... what happened to Xishan...?

But no matter what happens, time still passes by a little bit, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is here!

As usual, the imperial court began to take a rest.

Liu Jian began to relax in a rare way.

He thought over and over again, and decided to go to Xishan to see it himself. No matter what, he wanted to find out, and wanted to know what the name of this Xishan was.

If the dignified cabinet minister of the first assistant university visits abroad, the battle will be too great. Liu Jian didn't want to make troubles, so after thinking about it, he found his son.

Liu Jian had three sons, but it was a pity that both sons died early, and the third son, Liu Jie, had no future and failed to study. However, he was quite peaceful, and with the fame of a scholar, he studied at home...

Of course, reading is a way of saying it to the outside world. After all, it can’t be said that you are eating at home. Although this book has been read for 33 years, Liu Jie is now 40 years old.

Let Liu Jie go to arrange it, only a few bearers, an attendant, and Liu Jie followed, and the group hurried out of the city to Xishan!

This Xishan is almost the size of a small market town. Although tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, logically speaking, many people have already returned home for reunion, but this Xishan is still very lively. There are many scholars who come here. Sixty or seventy indivual.

When everyone got together, there were actually two young Jinshi who were serving officials, more than a dozen Juren, and a large number of scholars.

There are a lot of scholars here now, some of them are overjoyed after listening to Wang Shouren's professor, and some are outraged that Wang Shouren criticized Master Zhu and came to find fault.

Today, because of Muxiu, I heard that Mr. Wang does not have to be on duty, so he will come early in the morning, so many people are looking forward to it.

Liu Jian is the chief assistant of the cabinet, he is aloof, not many people recognize him, he is wearing an ordinary Lun scarf hat and Confucian shirt, if you don't pay attention, it's really hard for anyone to pay attention to him.

Looking at the bustling here, Liu Jian smiled, and couldn't help but said to Liu Jie who was beside him: "I can't think of it, my father also came to Xishan a few years ago, and it was a matter of investigating the emperor's house. At that time, this place should be a wasteland." , and later it was given to the Marquis of Shouning, who never imagined that... one day this place would become Jiangnan in the suburbs of Beijing."

He was about to move forward, to look among the crowd, but he stopped suddenly, because he saw an old acquaintance in the distance.

That...that was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

His Royal Highness is here today...

Liu Jian did not continue to approach.

Sighing in my heart, it is indeed out of character for His Royal Highness to always run here.

But Zhu Houzhao seemed very energetic. He was also dressed as a scholar, and he shuttled among the crowd. A group of guards in disguise were guarding the periphery, for fear that something bad would happen.

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was young, some scholars asked, "Brother, do you dare to ask Gao's name?"

As a scholar, I love to chat.

"Ben...my name is Zhu Shou."

Zhu Shou... I've never heard of it...

"So it's Brother Zhu Xian, disrespect, disrespect."

Now that Zhu Houzhao has learned how to salute, he smiled and bowed to the scholar, "Ashamed, ashamed."

Then came the greetings, Zhu Houzhao began to talk about his life experience, his family provided him with education, his father was strict, he finally won a scholar, and so on.

He seemed to be very proud. With a sincere expression on his face, when he told these stories with rich voice and emotion, he could infect these nerds, and he was secretly happy, very happy.

"I don't know what classics Zhu Xian was taught during the examination in the academy?"

"What!" Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded.

What is the classics of treatment... He has heard of the hospital examination.

"It's the Five Classics, which one it treats..."

"..." Zhu Houzhao began to scold in his heart, what kind of son of a bitch made such a complicated imperial examination, what is the five classics?
