My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 313 The Emperor Has No Heart
The new official school is something that has been talked about for many years, but how can this thing be easily tinkered with?
It was not until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Liu Bang established the country that he thought of dismissing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone.

The brewing of Neo-Confucianism, from Zhou Dunyi, Er Cheng, to Zhu Xi, went through the Northern and Southern Songs before it was considered to be formed.

Now it takes a few years of effort to get it out, it's really not easy, but this observation of astronomy really provided an excellent opportunity for him.

At this moment, Huang Guan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, is doing his part, this is his duty.

After returning from the observatory, Huang Guan went directly to his son-in-law's house. Anyway, the two houses were separated by a wall. He couldn't escape for such a big matter.

Xu Xianzhong didn't like his grandpa. As soon as he came, he asked himself to recite poems. What the hell is it?
As soon as the little guy saw grandpa, he ran away. He is no longer a two-year-old kid, so don't try to play with me.This kid strode forward with two short legs, showed the speed he practiced in chasing peacocks, and really left Huang Guan behind.

Huang looked at him and couldn't help sighing: "You really feel like your father!"

Hearing this, Xu Jingchang blushed immediately, stared his eyes and said, "What is this? Father-in-law, don't you know that I have always been smart, studious, honest, and well behaved? In the past, all the civil and military nobles in the capital said You should learn from the Xu family!"

Huang Guan blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "It's not what people said in the past, it's what people say now... They also said that when you were born, the ground was full of red light and the fragrance was overflowing!"

"Don't!"

Xu Jingchang waved his hands hastily, how can this be said nonsense?

"You never want your daughter to be a widow!"

Huang Guan snorted softly, "Stop talking nonsense, things like this in the future probably won't be a big deal."

Xu Jingchang was startled, then nodded suddenly.

Weng son-in-law sat in the study, Huang Guan said directly: "What is the purpose of your majesty asking the courtiers to observe astronomy?"

Xu Jingchang said: "Observing astronomy, it proves that there is no destiny. Your majesty does not uphold the destiny, and the emperor is not a god..."

The more Xu Jingchang said, the more Huang Guan frowned. If he really did this, he would die in front of his eyes!

"If you understand it this way, it is estimated that there will be endless disasters if you fiddle with official studies in this way."

Huang Guan sprayed the bastard to death with a sip of tea.

"How can I not understand this truth? I'm asking you, what does Your Majesty mean?"

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty's meaning is probably that after taking away the destiny, there is no way to ensure that the emperor is the ninety-five supreme, supreme."

Huang Guan Dawu nodded and said, "It's almost the same as I thought... It's just that this is easier said than done. Otherwise, how could Confucianism have been the leader for 2000 years?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "It's true. In the past, it might have been a little troublesome... but now it has some clues." As he said, Xu Jingchang put a more detailed folk evaluation material in front of Huang Guan.

Huang Guan stared at it for a while, and then thought of the scene where Xu Jingchang pinched the six parts of Jiuqing with this thing... He thought for a while, then hurriedly widened his eyes, looked at Xu Jingchang stupidly, his throat moved, as if he wanted to say something, In the end, nothing could be said.

Seeing that the old father-in-law looked like he had seen a ghost, Xu Jingchang coughed and said, "What's wrong with you? Do you need to call the imperial doctor?"

Huang Guan came to his senses, but his face turned pale in panic, and he said in a low voice: "You, you don't plan on thinking about the emperor, do you?"

Xu Jingchang snorted, "What are you thinking? I'm not a rebellious person."

"Then, what are you doing with this thing? We're talking about the destiny!" Huang Guan said, "Could it be that you want to hold the Son of Heaven hostage?"

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes, "Father-in-law, although you are an elder, you are not allowed to frame your son-in-law like this! Let's get to the bottom of it and talk about some serious things. What's the use of the Mandate of Heaven?"

Huang Guanzhengse said, "The Son of Heaven is the head of the rules and regulations, the nine-five-year-old supreme, and the one word is the best... Confucianism respects the Son of Heaven, so that there will be people who can make decisions and make decisions, so that the world will not be chaotic. , After learning from the painful experience, the proposition made.”

After a pause, Huang Guan said again: "It's just that the emperor is in the ninth place, and he really promises what he says. If he is like the first emperor, he can't cherish the people's power, use the people's husbands wantonly, build large-scale construction, and use military force. The second generation of the world is the king. This can't be done. There must be A way to hold the Son of Heaven hostage."

"Dong Zhongshu's three strategies for heaven and man are not only to complete the supreme position of the emperor, but also to limit the imperial power with the mandate of heaven, not to allow the emperor to act indiscriminately, one light and one dark, one yin and one yang, showing wisdom." Huang Guan sighed: "It is precisely because The design is so ingenious that no one has been able to shake it for so many years."

Xu Jingchang nodded with a smile, "That's right, father-in-law really hit the nail on the head...Actually, if you want me to say, the core of this official school is how to restrict, otherwise, it is right for the emperor to do whatever he wants. Government schools should also be encouraged, and the common people should also agree...then this government school is not a government school.”

Huang Guan nodded, "Indeed."

Because the son-in-law and Weng were their own people, they spoke very bluntly... In any case, we can't think that the emperor is omniscient and everything is right.

Since ancient times, China has upheld a kind of rationality, believing in gods depends on whether they are spiritual or not.

Don't believe blindly, if it doesn't work, it's not pious enough, it doesn't exist!
Therefore, the previous refutation of Dianxing is blessed, and he did it calmly, and brought the Kong family from Shandong to Yingtian, which is also very smooth.

Easy to destroy, difficult to rebuild.

Therefore, the orthodox official school has only been revised, and the final version has not been produced.

Xie Jin has been busy for a long time, and it is easy to talk about other things, but he is stuck on the key core.

Now that Huang Guan took over, he is also stuck.

What should I do?

"Father-in-law, what should be done actually is already ready... Your Majesty governs the country with the will of the people, and the source of the will of the people is from this investigation!"

Xu Jingchang tapped lightly on the manuscript on the table, Huang Guan's whole body trembled suddenly, and he suddenly realized that he couldn't help but slapped his forehead.

"Look how confused I am, sure enough, I understand."

Huang Guan is in a good mood... After unlocking the most critical thing, the rest will be easy to handle.

Heaven's heart and destiny, this set of arguments has been refuted before, but this time Huang Guan kept the essence, but he didn't deny it all at once.

It is also wrong to say that destiny does not exist!
Confucius said to respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance.

There may be destiny, and gods may exist, but these cannot be allowed to interfere with the government.

For example, the orbits of the sun, moon, and stars are naturally proved by astronomical calculations, not divine will.

Wind, frost, rain and snow, floods, droughts and locust plagues are just normal, so there is no need to make a fuss.

Disaster relief requires human and material resources, but not divine power.

After talking about this set of things...the next thing is the question of the emperor, and finally cut to the point.

When discussing the blessings of Dianxing earlier, I have already said that Zhu Yuanzhang did not uphold any destiny, nor did he inherit someone's orthodoxy... The previous orthodoxy was cut off, and Emperor Hongwu revived China.

Now follow this point of view, the Son of Heaven, who upholds the will of the people and governs the world, the emperor is the embodiment of the people... Thousands and thousands of Limin people have many ideas and different thoughts.Food, clothing, shelter, transportation, birth, old age, sickness and death.

All things need to be cared by the emperor, and then he will order all the officials to implement them carefully.

In a word, the emperor has no heart, but the heart of all people!
After writing this thing, Huang Guan let out a long breath, only feeling comfortable and relaxed all over, he was about to fly.

"If it can be done, the old man will have a fortune in Qianqiu's history."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Your old man already has a fortune in six heads."

"That's different!" Huang Guan exclaimed, "The six chief officials are only good at taking exams, just like talented scholars. No matter how many poems they leave behind, they are not as honorable as great Confucian scholars. The difference is too great."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Then you can now stand shoulder to shoulder with the great Confucian scholars of all ages."

Huang Guan frowned slightly, and after a long time, sighed: "It still needs some heat."

This man said this on his lips, but his heart was full of joy... The more he thought about it, the more brilliant his statement became... In the past, it was said that the emperor is the son of heaven, supreme and honorable.

By doing this, the emperor and the common people were pushed farther and farther apart, so that the emperor would be on the ninth level, and he would not hear the fireworks in the world... It seemed to be honorable, but in fact he handed over the power to the courtiers.

But according to the new saying, the Son of Heaven has no heart, and takes the hearts of the people as his heart.

In this way, the emperor must understand the hearts of the people, understand the people's sentiments, and be familiar with civil affairs, which is the mission of the emperor.

Falling on the prince, going to the place to study, living with the people, and understanding the people's will are all necessary measures.

For example, Zhu Gaochi went to Jiangxi to investigate and go deep into Poyang Lake, which is a matter of course and belongs to good governance.

Moreover, the emperor and the people are tied together. In this way, the foundation of the emperor's power is more stable, he can get more support, and to a certain extent, he is more noble.

After all, China has a tradition of slaughtering gods, but the emperor is really with the people, who can kill himself?

Win the hearts of the people and win the world, water can carry a boat and capsize it.

All of these have proper explanations, and there is no problem at all.

Huang Guan only felt that he was comfortable all over, and he almost yelled: "My way is accomplished!"

As a Confucian scholar, Haoshou has been poor for many years. At this age, he can establish his heart for the world and the life of the people... It is really a death without regrets, with a smile on his face.

Huang Guan immediately moved his pen like flying, without any hesitation, worked hard for several days, and finally handed over this masterpiece to Zhu Di.

After Zhu Di received it, he actually read it carefully... Not only did he read it himself, but he also invited Yao Guangxiao into the palace, and the monarch and his ministers studied it together.

Five days later, Zhu Di decreed to compile the Yongle Canon, and designated this article as the first article of the Yongle Canon.

The emperor has no heart!

After Huang Guan got the news, he was very happy and went to Xu's mansion despite his fatigue.

Seeing his grandson Xu Xianzhong, he didn't let the little guy run away this time, so he hugged him up.

"I don't recite poetry, I don't recite!"

Huang Guan laughed and said, "Don't worry, this time, we won't recite poems... we will recite essays!"
