Chapter 134: Transferring loyalties as filial piety, falsely accusing a good person as a thief(2/4)
Zuo hit Cheng Zhu and exposed his misinterpretation of "Spring and Autumn", "It is not necessary to analyze the truth, but to explore and explore, so it is inevitable to force ignorance to know."
He kicked Yangming to the right and scorned him as empty and without foundation, saying, "He is just a castle in the sky, but he has nothing in his body and mind."
Then, we use history to discuss matters, connect with political reality issues, and accumulated current shortcomings, and then explore solutions. Finally, we come to the conclusion of reforming the old and making new ones - "the law changes with the times" and "the law is updated to adapt to the times."
This purge of academic style corrected the atmosphere in the court through the writing of books and expositions.
Then the cabinet meeting was used to criticize Xu Jie, Li Chunfang, and Zhao Zhenji as a symbol to bring order to the chaos.
Finally, through the form of the late emperor's edict and approval, officials at all levels were strictly ordered to prohibit officials from hosting or participating in lectures, thus establishing a victory.
This is the basis on which the new party is built.
The new party established by Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong was very familiar with the emperor's current actions.
This time, after passing the academic examinations and answering questions at the Sutra Banquet, Wang Shizhen will probably have a copy of "Jing Yan Lu" in his hands.
His purpose was completely hidden in front of him.
But Mr. Shoufu could only see the means, but did not know which play the emperor was going to sing. He was really afraid that the emperor would not understand the importance and go too far - he did not want to challenge the matter of external Confucianism and internal law.
Unfortunately, Zhu Yijun didn't think so.
He looked straight at Zhang Juzheng and continued to ask: "Sir, since the king is the father of the king, why should he change the dynasty?"
There are no bad parents in the world.
Since he is a king's father, he has never heard that a son can become his own father by killing his father.
Therefore, after a change of dynasty, why can the later dynasty be recognized?
If it's because of being immoral, then can the father be killed because he is immoral?
That doesn't make sense, sir.
In fact, this statement is not difficult to answer in itself, but it is difficult for Zhang Juzheng, who is a Confucian scholar and a legal scholar.
Because within the framework of Confucianism, this goes back to the destiny of heaven.
Under the king and father, no one can restrain him, but if the destiny above him is intentional, it is normal to change the king and father.
The emperor, who was at the pinnacle of filial piety, had only one destiny that Zhang Juzheng was unwilling to talk about.
The meaning of the emperor's expression immediately became clear in Zhang Juzheng's mind - as heaven and man felt depressed and changed their filial piety and loyalty, there were more and more things that could not be explained clearly. The outdated things should be replaced.
Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth and closed it again.
Zhu Yijun looked at his husband quietly, waiting for Zhang Juzheng's answer.
Transferring filial piety to loyalty was naturally more progressive in the early Han Dynasty.
Unfortunately, by the Wei and Jin Dynasties, this system was full of cracks.
Nowadays, or in other words, after the birth of Yangming’s Psychology, this system has been completely deconstructed.
What do today's scholar-bureaucrats pay attention to?
It’s the freedom to see one’s true nature clearly!
It’s the true nature of doing whatever you want!
What kind of father-in-law? You did this, this is bullshit!
The trend in Shilin is like this. The younger you are, the less likely you are to follow this trend.
Not only was there no emperor or father in their eyes, but sometimes it even had a counterproductive effect - the Taizhou School was very interested in deconstructing the source of the emperor's power.
Why is Zhu Yijun recognized by most courtiers now?
Is it because he is a king's father? If so, then the predecessor would not have been suppressed for ten years, but failed to be supported by loyal and filial sons to rule personally.
Therefore, it is not that Zhu Yijun wants to give up his filial piety and loyalty.
It's something that has been abandoned by the times and there is no need to stick it on your face.
On the contrary, it will only delay the emergence of new things.
If the gap between reality and theory is too large, it will further undermine the legitimacy of the dynasty.
In this case, it must be neither destroyed nor established.
Whether it is the legendary story in today's Xinbao, Emperor Taizu worked hard to control the chaos and transformed the barbarians with Xia.
It is also the classical attainments that Zhu Yijun strives to express in Jingyan.
Or maybe the national treasury is gradually filling up and the official administration is becoming increasingly clear.
They are all paving the way for the replacement of old scriptures and principles to avoid too much turmoil in the future.
After having laid the groundwork with Li Zhi for so long, the date for Wang Shizhen's literary meeting has already been set.
The great event of debating scriptures is about to happen, so naturally we must first unify our thoughts internally.
Zhu Yijun placed the invisible elephant in the room at the Sutra Banquet today, just to consult the chief minister's attitude and test the thoughts of the Sutra Banquet Officer.
There was silence in Wenhua Hall.
Zhang Juzheng hesitated for a long time, and then said in a dry tone: "Your Majesty, please allow me to think about it for a while, and I will discuss it with Your Majesty at the next banquet."
The little emperor was too radical, and the first assistant was hesitant for a while - after all, he was not a crazy person like Li Zhi.
Zhu Yijun was not in a hurry.
He looked at Zhang Juzheng and said warmly: "Mr. Hard-working, let's go here first for today's feast."
Zhang Juzheng was speechless for a moment and quickly bowed to salute.
The banquet officials below also followed suit and saluted.
Zhu Yijun returned the favor.
After some etiquette, today’s sutra feast finally came to an end.
Tao Dalin felt as if he had been granted amnesty. After bowing and getting up, he left the Wenhua Hall first.
Ma Ziqiang, He Luowen and others have already followed closely behind.
After the banquet officials resigned one after another, only Zhang Juzheng and Shen Shixing were left in the hall.
There was no one else in the palace, but there were still troublesome things outside the palace.
This is why some people stay.
Shen Shixing immediately took the initiative to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, I am guilty..."
Zhu Yijun raised his hand to interrupt Shen Shixing.
He did not give Shen Shixing a chance to speak, but looked at Zhang Juzheng: "Sir, please go back to the cabinet first."
Zhang Juzheng and Shen Shixing stayed in the palace, naturally because of the matter of guarding the palace outside the palace.
Facing the emperor's leisurely appearance, Zhang Juzheng followed suit and apologized: "Your Majesty, this matter is due to my negligence."
Zhu Yijun interrupted Zhang Juzheng again: "Sir, we are busy with state affairs, so don't waste your mind on such things."
"It's just a gentle breeze and drizzle."
He paused and said seriously: "Sir, you have devoted your whole life to the affairs of the country. Just let me handle this little matter."
Zhang Juzheng looked slightly moved.
I don't know what came to mind.
Zhang Juzheng pinched a medicine bag in his sleeve and was silent for a moment.
Finally, it turned into a bow: "I obey your decree."
Zhu Yijun nodded and asked Jiang Keqian to send Zhang Juzheng back to the cabinet.
When Zhang Juzheng's back disappeared, Zhu Yijun turned back and looked at Shen Shixing.
Shen Shixing bowed down again.
There was no one around, and Zhu Yijun seemed to finally no longer hide his emotions.
He stood up and looked at Shen Shixing.
He raised his finger and pointed at Shen Shixing and counted several times, saying "You...I..." repeatedly, and then it turned into sighs.
Faced with the emperor's angry look, Shen Shixing, a genius who had had a smooth journey, felt a rare feeling of confusion.
There was cold sweat on his forehead, and even the middle coat on his back was slightly damp with sweat.
The emperor hesitated to speak again and again, like a hammer, tortured Shen Shixing's heart, pounding.
It seemed like a long time passed.
Shen Shixing finally heard a complete sentence from the emperor.
"Why didn't you come to me first before you demoted Xiong Dunpu?"
The Confucian scholar of the Song Dynasty exposed his colleague Xiong Dunpu and criticized Cheng Yu for not destroying the harem and making arrogant comments on the political affairs. Shen Shixing did not even tell himself about this kind of thing and acted arbitrarily and was relegated!
If Zhu Yijun had known about this earlier, Shen Shixing and Zhang Juzheng would not have been tricked!
