Chapter 86 Good things come in pairs

Zhao Mansion, on the kang in the main house.

After hearing Yu Shenxing's words, Zhao Hao couldn't help but applaud.

He thought that if he had not intervened himself, he would have to wait until decades before the Gao Panlong and his group of people grew up to raise this question that directly pointed to the key points of Confucianism in the Song and Ming dynasties.

It turns out that Yu Shenxing had already had such doubts!

This is naturally an inspiration for Zhao Hao, who has been secretly stolen from Confucianism.

Zhao Hao's praise is a great encouragement for Guanxing.

If he said this rebellious word at home, he would be beaten with a big stick by his father.

Now, when someone hears it, not only does not scold him, but also applauds him. Yu Shenxing is naturally very encouraged.

When Zhao Hao was overjoyed, Yu Shenxing asked with hope: "Dare you ask sir, can you solve your doubts for the late child?"

"Of course, that's great." Zhao Hao rubbed his hands and said to him with a smile:

"The reason why you have this trouble is that the Song Confucians divided 'learning' and 'working' into two ways. They despise practice and talk about their nature and reason. They sit up and sit up, and talk about their heart and nature with great eloquence. When they talk about specific government affairs, they will be as stupid as they can, and they will never know how to do it."

Amid the laughter of Yu Shenxing and Sanyang, Zhao Hao said sarcastically more and more sarcastically:

"It's like Duke Zhu Wen of Neo-Confucianism, the ancestor of Neo-Confucianism, when the imperial court opened a statutory examination and won't give you any essays. No word can be exceeded. People who study and officials in the world must act according to his teachings. However, when Duke Zhu Wen was alive, when the Song Dynasty was in a state crisis, what strange and secret strategies did this gentleman offer to recreate the Song Dynasty and avoid humiliation? He did not! Instead, he stared at the eunuchs all day long, asking their words and deeds to comply with the rules. Could it be that Duke Zhu Wen's sincere learning was designed specifically for eunuchs?"

This slap in the face was too harsh. Yu Shenxing looked at Sanyang and saw that they were laughing happily than anyone else.

~~

Next door, Yu Shensizheng was concentrating on his body, leaning on the chair with his butt sticking out, listening to Zhao Shizhen's topic.

Yu Shensi was already impressed by the boy's clear structure and clever explanation of his ideas. No matter whether he served tea or swept the floor, he was much better than himself anyway...

Just as I was listening with relish, the explanation was interrupted by a burst of laughter inside.

Yu Shensi immediately said with an upset expression: "Let's stay away from them."

"It's up to you."

Zhao Shizhen was a rare encounter. He was willing to listen to his arguments, but he would be fine even if he went to the room to talk.

~~

In the inner room, Wang Dingjue put down the book in his hand and added water to the pot again.

Yu Shenxing asked tentatively: "Sir, are you from the school of mind?"

"Yangming Gong made great contributions and virtues to make words, and he can be said to be a priest of this priest. 'Unification of knowledge and action' will surely shine for the ages!" Zhao Hao shook his head and said:

"It's a pity that the disciples in the teaching are too bad. Those people only remember their 'unreasonableness outside the heart' and 'nothing outside the heart', so they talked about their hearts all day long, saying nothing. What's the difference with the Neo-Confucianism they vigorously criticized?"

"At least they are real hooligans." Hua Shuyang whispered: "It's not like the Neo-Confucianism,"

Amid the laughter, Zhao Hao said to the two kings: "Tell me down for him and I will not change a word of the book in the future."

"Master, don't..." Hua Shuyang begged with a bitter face.

"See if you dare to interrupt." The eldest brother sneered and taught a lesson.

Hua Shuyang had no choice but to lower his head and say nothing, not daring to think about how his descendants of this sect would view him?

"Neo-Confucianism and mind learning are the same..." Yu Shenxing fell into panic. "Is it because there is something wrong at the root and that Confucius's theory cannot be applied in the world?"

"I won't answer this question." Zhao Hao shook his head and said seriously: "But I can tell you that Confucius has always emphasized the sages and kings inside, so that students can cultivate morality within and make achievements outside. There is nothing wrong with that."

"For example, Confucius despised Guan Zhong's character and thought that he was very immoral. However, he highly praised Guan Zhong's achievements in assisting Duke Huan of Qi to "combinate the princes" and "one to help the world", and promised the noble "as benevolence, as benevolence". Therefore, in Confucius' eyes, individual ethics and administrative standards, morality and politics are not completely integrated, nor do they need to be integrated."

"The root of the problem lies in Mencius. He and Xunzi separated Confucius' theory, one emphasized the "internal sage" and the other emphasized the "outer king". From the Han and Tang dynasties to the early Northern Song dynasties, Xunzi's "outer king" was still the dominant one. Therefore, there were many cruel officials who had outstanding achievements in the Han Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty also had talents who were famous for managing wealth and wealth, or were famous for their treacherous and wise. They did not have any "internal sage" studies, and their success was not the result of self-cultivation. On the contrary, according to moral standards, they were mostly treacherous villains, but this did not affect their achievements and forge the heroic spirit of the Han and Tang dynasties."

"Of course, one-sided emphasis on the 'outer king' also led to the decline of the Han and Tang dynasties. By the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, with the rise of Neo-Confucianism, the study of the inner sage gradually overwhelmed the study of the 'outer king', so ethics and morality became the highest standard for judging officials. Therefore, all the dynasties were moral gentlemen but had no capable officials in governing the country, so naturally they did not have the outstanding achievements of the Han and Tang dynasties. So even the name of the Song Dynasty could be ridiculed by my Ming Dynasty..."

"Of course, I, Daming, have never been timid..." Sanyang and Xiaoyu nodded together.

No matter whether you can do it or not, you will be done with a hard work.

"You can also write down this..." Zhao Hao's mouth twitched twice and asked Yu Shenxing, "Now do you understand, do you have any confusion?"

"Well, it's all Meng Ke." Yu Shenxing focused his attention, and then returned to the original question and said: "Would you teach me the practical teachings of the world?"

"Science is the study of seeking truth from facts and practical application in the world." Then Zhao Hao said word by word:

"The knowledge in this school focuses on real problems. It is science to study all aspects of reality, find out the rules, and solve problems."

The disciples silently recited the eight words "Seeking truth from facts and applying it to the world" in their hearts, and then quickly remembered the Master's definition of science.

Yu Shenxing got off the kang barefoot without hesitation, kneeled in front of Zhao Hao with his body, and sincerely asked: "I beg you to teach me scientifically, and not be foolish, and I will be grateful to my disciples as your disciples."

Zhao Hao smiled and nodded and said, "I have this intention."

"Thank you for your accomplishment." Yu Shenxing kowtowed heavily, then stood up and bowed to the three senior brothers.

The three of them also returned the favor with a serious expression, and then stood at the last position when Yu Shenxing and continued to listen to the master's teachings.

~~

When Zhao Hao talked about his dry mouth, he saw that the two silly fools outside had not come in yet, and he said angrily: "Are you planning to sleep outside?"

The third senior brother ran out quickly and called back the two people hiding in the western warehouse to teach the questions.

When Yu Shensi came in, he said to his younger brother with dissatisfaction, "Wugui, why don't you go back first, your brother is in a state of excitement."

"Third brother, I won't go back." Yu Shenxing smiled and said, "I have already become a teacher."

"Ah, really?" Yu Shensi looked at his younger brother in surprise. He knew that his younger brother had always been disdainful of these strange skills and lewd learnings.

Then he looked at Zhao Hao again and thought to himself, could Mr. He really have a theory that is practical and practical?

"He has become a disciple. When will you wait for you, a silly man?" Zhao Hao shouted suddenly.

Yu Shensi knelt on his knees and kowtowed to become a disciple.

In fact, since he was stimulated by Sanyang and Xiao Zhao, Zhao Hao even drove him away with a stick, but he couldn't drive him away.
