"After Master Li proposed his ontology, I thought that what Master Li said made sense. The ontology of conscience should be universal. Even though the progress and fairness proposed by Master Li were a bit narrow, my grandfather's idea of ​​helping the world

Isn't it true that ideals or the caution of a concubine and a concubine who live their lives are the common conscience in the world?"

"This just proves that Master Li's ontological foundation is enough to support the platform of Confucianism with many schools of thought."

"Well...of course, it's just my humble opinion, your Majesty, please listen to it."

"But after Master Xue passed away, I felt that what Master Xue said made sense."

"Master Xue said, Master Li is using human principles to prevail over heavenly principles."

"The so-called essence and conscience in general must first exist in the innate, such as in the representation of objects. Take away what the understanding thinks about the objects, such as entities, and the innate feelings of hot and cold. This is the so-called heavenly principle."

"Then combine it with the human way, and choose what belongs to the senses, see, hear, and know."

"If you look at the direct sunlight or touch a stone, it will be hot. How can you see the cause and effect?"

“Therefore, there is innate talent and acquired talent, and only then does the existing conscience become widespread in the world.”

"Although Master Xue went too far when he accused Master Li of being a demon who confuses all sentient beings, I still feel that what Master Xue said seems to make sense."

Zhu Yijun quietly listened to the feelings from the perspective of passers-by and sighed silently.

This is the drawback of reaching such a high level of intellectual debate that the common people can no longer understand it.

I just think both sides are right.

As a Daily Practitioner, Li Zhi abstracted the essence among all living beings and came up with universal values.

After Xue Yingqi came out, he directly argued on the basis of the difference between the two - epistemology.

Since you, Li Zhi, have abstracted the ontology into the world and the times, you have confused the relationship between the way of heaven and the way of humanity, and you have lost your precise positioning.

The sun shines on a stone and the stone becomes hot when touched. This is what people see. So who sees the causal relationship between the two?

Isn’t this what humans, as the subject, get by understanding the way of heaven?

Otherwise, even if you talk about the causal relationship between everything, how can you understand it?

Therefore, Xue Yingqi believes that there is heavenly principle first, and then human understanding. People's own cognitive abilities should also be innate and do not need to be cultivated, just like being able to feel hot and cold.

It is not like Li Zhi, who was influenced by the outside world and passively understood the essence of conscience.

That person is not enough to be called a human being, there is no difference between him and a monkey.

"You can still understand it from here."

"Later, Master Li and Master Xue began to discuss the relationship between heavenly principles and human nature, and my concubine's head became a mess."

Li Baiyang puffed up his cheeks and moved his face from side to side awkwardly, puffing out the air in his cheeks.

When Zhu Yijun saw her finish speaking, he grabbed her hand and asked her not to press it again: "That's why Wang Shizhen wants to hold a literary meeting to watch the guests and answer questions for you and me."

The latter part is indeed too profound.

That’s why the slang of Confucianism needs to be sorted out and translated before it can continue to be promoted.

Li Xuanshi was stunned for a moment: "Alliance Leader Wang also wants to participate in the debate?"

Zhu Yijun nodded: "Not only Wang Shizhen, but also the two direct disciples of Yangming, the Three Masters and Seven Certificates, and the direct descendants of the Kong family are all here to join in the fun."

Li Xuan hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, is my concubine and grandfather here?"

Zhu Yijun laughed: "He is a disciple of the Taizhou School, and is a direct disciple of Wang Gen. Naturally, he comes to support Li Zhi."

Immediately, he looked at Li Baiyang and smiled slyly: "How about it, do you want to join in the fun?"

Li Baiyang groaned, rubbed the corner of his clothes and muttered: "No...that's not good. Your Majesty was reprimanded by Empress Dowager Li last time."

Zhu Yijun shook his head: "No, this time it was Wang Shizhen who invited me, so of course he did it openly."

After all, he didn't care whether Li Baiyang agreed or not, he made his own decision and said: "Okay, that's it."

"Grind the ink for me, and I also need to prepare a greeting card for the literary society."

Only then did Li Baiyang realize what the emperor said was not a political matter, and that he was only interested in leaving the palace to join in the fun.

While she was polishing ink for the emperor, she wondered: "Why do I still need to ask for an invitation from His Majesty?"

Zhu Yijun picked up his pen and shook his head: "It's not that he wants to pay homage to me, it's that such a grand event cannot have an opening worthy of being remembered in history, and at the same time, it can also take care of spectators like you who don't study Confucianism."

After saying that, he spread out a piece of paper and started writing slowly.

Li Baiyang polished his ink and looked at it curiously.

A few big characters of "Duan Zheng" appeared on the paper in "Literature Review of Debating the Classics".

Below is a line of subtitles unique to the emperor - "Pure Reason and Practical Reason: The Origin of Dissent in Various Schools"
