Chapter 202 Ku Lie Corpse Remonstrance, New Year's Fright

In Zhejiang, Yan Song simply went to Wang Shouren's house to celebrate the New Year.

You look at me, I look at you.

"Can Bo'an's doubts be answered?" Yan Song asked in a complicated mood.

Wang Shouren was silent, and it took a long time before he let out a long sigh.

Compared with the last time, the theory of only knowing the three principles of heaven, things, and people has a greater impact.

He has always believed that his method of developing conscience is a good method for studying, conducting himself in the world, and governing the country and the people, until he saw this dialectical way of thinking and the specific method of doing things by analyzing contradictions.

These days, Wang Shouren has fallen into an indescribable self-doubt.

In the past, knowing things and knowing caused loneliness, did enlightenment in Longchang also realize loneliness?

For Neo Confucianists, this practical study is just a big step forward in the direction of materialism.

For Wang Shouren, a master of mind studies, this smashed the foundation of his idealistic direction.

But with Wang Shouren's ingenuity, he was temporarily unable to find loopholes in this theory.

With his many years of rich experience and his knowledge, he really can't find a fault.

Too many examples.

Just like good and evil, selfish desires, and conscience at the human level, whether it is to eliminate human desires or to achieve conscience, a person is always very complicated and will change.

Some people will always get better, some people will get better first and then get worse, some people even change back and forth, you still can't grasp his true inner thoughts.

Doesn't this go a long way with the assertion in dialectics that change is eternal?
From this practice and dialectics, Wang Shouren can see the traces of his many views such as the unity of knowledge and action, and the extension of conscience.

Compared with the original Neo-Confucianism, Wang Shouren seems to have been closer to this new set of learning.

Is it because my foundation is in the direction of psychology instead of Neo-Confucianism?Is this a proof of negation after negation, don't imprison your own thoughts?
"Weizhong, I have a feeling of despair."

Yan Song was taken aback: "Bo'an! Don't scare me! With your talent, you should be able to understand it all at once!"

Wang Shouren struggled to say something, with some resentment: "Before I returned to my hometown, Your Majesty told me to give lectures. I just returned to my hometown, and after learning about the three principles of day, things, and people, I have no intention of giving lectures. If not, now Isn't it a dilemma?"

He didn't know that because of his unity of knowledge and action and the pursuit of conscience, he later derived a school called "practical learning", which also left a strong mark in history.

So at this moment, Wang Shouren is indeed in a very complicated mood: he has a judgment, this practice and dialectics are more rigorous, more reasonable, and more instructive than his psychological point of view, and from many aspects, he Wang Shouren may have been far away from this new idea. The person with the most recent knowledge.

Returning to the framework of Neo-Confucianism does not need to be regarded as a heresy, but to enter the room and lift Confucianism into a new stage.

Of course, it was impossible for him to go so far, so he asked Yan Song hesitantly: "Weizhong, does this common sense of constant change also correspond to His Majesty's monarchy? Why does Your Majesty..."

Yan Song only looked deeply at Wang Shouren.

Although there was friendship before, but talking about such a sensitive topic with him Yan Song can only show that Wang Shouren regards him as a close friend.

Yan Song is grateful in his heart, but he has his own way of life.He said earnestly: "Isn't this a proof of His Majesty's great wisdom? The dynasty changes, and the history is well-documented; the powerful ministers are domineering, and the monarchy is not manifested. The name and the reality, Your Majesty can see clearly. Bo'an, have you forgotten, Your Majesty thinks, Is there a quantitative change or a qualitative change in change?"

Wang Shouren was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "What Weizhong said is true. From this, it can be seen that His Majesty has comprehensive knowledge. Weizhong, is there really someone who is born with knowledge? Your Majesty is just young..."

He shut up again.

Yan Song immediately continued to say solemnly: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven! Although this practical study emphasizes the principles of all things, the principles of heaven are above all! Today, the vassal kings will succeed the Datong, and in the years of weak crowns, there will be decisions made by the imperial study and the national policy meeting. After several twists and turns, Yang Ge is the leader of the new party, and he has the knowledge of practical science, which is a proof of the son of righteousness!"

Wang Shouren always felt weird.

On the one hand, Praxis puts more emphasis on the fact that all things and even some things between human relations should not be changed by people's hearts, and the sanctity of the Son of Heaven is not as strong as in Neo-Confucianism.

But on the other hand, because it was the emperor who proposed these knowledge and made these achievements, his sanctity seems to have become stronger again.

After pondering for a while, Wang Shouren said: "People in the world only think that Yang Gelao and others took advantage of the topic and even invited His Majesty to use new knowledge. From next year, the world will be in chaos. Although this practical learning is not difficult in my opinion, the world If there are many people who don't understand its true meaning, they will join forces and attack them."

Yan Song bowed his hands and saluted: "We are about to borrow the power of Bo'an. Song is an old student of Yang Ge, and a newcomer promoted by His Majesty. Bo'an and Yang Ge have a gap in mind and philosophy, and His Majesty invited him to attend the Sutra Banquet and enter the Imperial Palace." Study, participate in national policy."

"...how can I help you?"

Yan Song talked eloquently: "Zhejiang Shipbuilding Department has been abolished, and the gentry and wealthy households are at a loss. I want to make them cut profits and pay taxes, and I should make up for the shortage of profits in the city. I have already requested the establishment of Huangming Records in Zhejiang. The court has no orders."

Wang Shouren thought about it.

Does this mean that the new law has spread to Zhejiang?Not counting, just doing business with Huang Mingji within Daming.

As far as Zhejiang is concerned, the meager taxation from the Shibo Department is gone.But for wealthy gentry in Zhejiang, the abolition of the Shibo Department is already a fatal event.

Now Yan Songzuo is asking to set up a Huangming branch in Zhejiang, obviously to let many goods from Zhejiang go out of Guangdong through Huangmingji.

In any case, it can be regarded as a new business opportunity for many gentry and wealthy households in Zhejiang.It is said that others do not appreciate it, but Yan Song's gesture of consideration for the local gentry and wealthy households in Zhejiang has been made.

Wang Shouren looked at him unexpectedly: "Divide and conquer?"

Yan Song smiled: "It's really not easy for me to do this now, isn't it?"

Wang Shouren was full of emotion: "This is also a clear proof of your majesty's practical studies and dialectics. Is there such a prestige that the monarch and his subjects are united as one?"

What he said was that the people of the world are really being led by the nose, and they have to be grateful to the superficial imperial and old parties for doing something for them.

Yan Song was also very emotional: "If you work together, there will be no disadvantages. However, there will always be an unforeseen twists and turns in the future. Before that, you and I can only do our best. Today, Your Majesty The practice of learning dialectics, Boan be careful and sincerely convinced, right? If you and I can join in the grand event and rebuild the prosperous world, wouldn’t this life be in vain?”

Wang Shouren always felt that Yan Song had become more elusive since he lived in seclusion in Jiangxi and re-emerged from the mountains, and he was not sure how true or false what Yan Song said at this time.

But for Wang Shouren, it is still an unshakable belief to cultivate oneself, regulate the family, govern the country and the world.

He didn't know how Yang Tinghe really felt now, but Wang Shouren did admit that Yang Tinghe had chosen a great emperor.

The most important thing is that he is too young, and he still doesn't know where he can go in the future and what he will change Daming into.

Thinking of this, Wang Shouren finally smiled: "What Weizhong said is true!"

It is to take good care of your body so that you can see more.

……

In the Forbidden City, Zhu Houcong looked at the reports submitted by Jinyiwei and Neichang to the palace as usual.

The discussions of scholars all over the world on this so-called practicum and dialectics did not exceed Zhu Houcong's expectations.

Some are completely unacceptable, and some are puzzling.

But because it was nominally an academic point of view put forward by the emperor, there were very few who came out to vent wildly—maybe there were, and they were on the way, but they must be some staunch people who were fully prepared.

Because they were coerced into the new law, most people pointed their finger at Yang Tinghe.

Zhu Houcong made a sad expression for the party leader.

Maybe Yang Tinghe did a lot of evil in his previous life, so he met him this time.

Of course, Zhu Houcong would give him a very special feeling.

In this era of supreme imperial power, apart from the emperor himself, the most special pleasure that other people can gain is that no matter how much they mess around, they can always get the protection and support of the emperor in the end.

As long as he does not violate the emperor's wishes.

Therefore, although Wei Bin, Wang Qiong and others were not clean in the past, they are now happy and grateful for the emperor's arrangements.

In their hearts, they are the real Mingjun.

This is a sense of exhilaration that the controller has the right to choose, just like Zhu Houcong now has the right to choose every night.

Today, he chose to go to Chang'an Palace.

Zhu Zaiyu, who was just over half a year old, was babbling, which made Lin Qingping and Queen Mother Jiang very happy: this is a sign of intelligence.

The child was carried to sleep, and Lin Qingping snuggled up to him more contentedly.

At her age, if it was because the emperor attached great importance to the issue of "national foundation" before, then there are so many choices now, but she still does not forget the old feelings, and is willing to treat her equally with so many young and beautiful concubines, and even pay more attention to it. Two or three points, which Lin Qingping didn't dare to hope for before.

"I'm afraid you don't quite understand how much you have helped me."

Around Zhu Houcong, only this big sister who is quite informed, expressive, calm and obedient enjoys it.

Today, Lin Qingping, who has given birth, is even more plump.After having a different identity, her treatment in the palace is not the same.

Hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Lin Qingping asked with some doubts: "The concubine...didn't do anything."

"All your thoughts are on the child?" Zhu Houhong smiled and put his arms around her waist, and said with some nostalgia, "Have you forgotten the days when you and I studied the scriptures together?"

"...The concubine is just looking for chapters and excerpts according to His Majesty's request."

Zhu Houcong pursed his lips slightly.

It seems simple, but it is actually very tiring.

Why was it so difficult for the ancients to learn?Because there is no such technical means as search queries that you are familiar with.How profound your knowledge is depends on how many books you have collected or how much you have memorized.

People's citations are really citing scriptures from their own minds.

Zhu Houcong has the advantage of someone unconditionally obeying his orders, and has the advantage of having a more scientific research methodology in the future.

The most important thing is that he borrowed the content of Neo Confucianism and Psychology, and integrated the tested philosophical thoughts of later generations into it.Of course, Lin Qingping's help is inseparable from this process, but the rigor and advanced nature of those ideas are more invincible.

In the final analysis, philosophy is the knowledge of understanding the world and human beings themselves.When it comes to these two themes, the outstanding geniuses of this era who are in the middle of the game are always subject to many constraints.

There is another advantage of being an emperor: he can just raise it, but he doesn't have to go to the court to argue in person.

With the big event of the reform, Yang Ting and these new parties will naturally go to the court to debate.

If they can't argue for a while, there is still "group brainstorming" at the national policy meeting.

After nearly three years, Zhu Houcong believes that he has initially achieved the goal of the stage.

So now the mood is to enjoy.

Enjoying the flattering affection of the concubine Xian because of her undiminished love, enjoying the sense of security that the general trend is in hand, and enjoying the sense of accomplishment that she is changing this era bit by bit.

Until Fei Hong Shangshu came to impeach Yang Tinghe for disobedience, until Wang Shouren asked for something other than learning through the first round of the secret box: He spoke out for the Zhejiang gentry, saying that the abolition of the Shibo Department was deeply involved, and seconded Yan Song's performance The establishment of the Huangming branch office in Zhejiang Province will allow Zhejiang gentry and wealthy households to continue to benefit from doing business.

Until the Dengwen drum outside the Meridian Gate, a corpse was found before the fifteenth court meeting of the first lunar month, and a memorial was hidden in the arms of the corpse.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Taizu set Dengwen Drum outside the Meridian Gate, and was supervised by a censor.

Later, it was moved to the right gate of Chang'an, and the six divisions took turns to be on duty with Jin Yiwei, accepting those who played drums and appealed.

"Da Ming Hui Dian" contains: "Anyone who is wronged by the judges, judges injustice and illegality, etc., will go to the inspector and inspect the censor to voice the injustice."

Hongwu issued an edict in the 23rd year, allowing one to respond to grievances and other matters, to beat Dengwen drums and report, and the imperial court to inspect the censor to go out for questioning.However, if the complaint is false by beating the drum, one hundred sticks will be used, and the serious matter will be dealt with more seriously.At the same time, it is stipulated that drums cannot be played in cases such as household marriages and fights, otherwise they will be severely punished.

But this time it's not an ordinary slap in the face to complain about grievances, but a corpse remonstrance.

Since ancient times, there have been people who have died of old age and used their corpses to remonstrate, such as Shi Chief, a doctor of the Wei State in the Spring and Autumn Period.There are those who say they must die, such as Hai Rui, who has not yet appeared at this time, preparing for death.

The real corpse remonstrance is only recorded in history once.

It happened in the 28th year of Hongwu.

Qing Wensheng, styled Zhifu, was born in Kuizhou.The official is Longyang Dianshi.Longyang is close to Dongting, suffering from floods every year, with hundreds of thousands of endowments, and the dead follow each other.Wen Sheng went to Que Shangshu with great emotion and pleaded for the people.Again, no report.He sighed and said, "What kind of face do you want to see your elders?" After returning to Gushu, he beat Dengwen's drum to advance, and hanged himself under the drum.

Now, the second time in history that the real corpse remonstrance happened, and it was still in the Ming Dynasty.

The Wangrichaohui on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and the third year of Jiajing, which was still in the midst of festive celebrations, cast a shadow from the very beginning.

The faces of the whole New Party were heavy, looking at the memorial that had been found in the arms of the deceased that had been presented to the emperor.

In the second year of Jiajing's reign, Li Xiang, a Jinshi of Xinke in Xinhui County, Guangzhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province.

In the first year when he had just entered high school and was just beginning to take off in his life, he chose to kill himself under Dengwen's drum and left a memorial.

Many people still don't know what was written in that memorial, but no matter what was written, it will definitely be an event written in the history.

The last time the corpse remonstrated was just an official.This time, it was a Jinshi.

Because Li Xiang was born in Guangdong, because Guangdong's new laws and new knowledge that came out just a few years ago, and because the real corpse remonstrance recorded in the Qing Dynasty only happened in the Ming Dynasty, no one dared to optimistically speculate on the subsequent changes.

They looked anxiously at the throne, at the eighteen-year-old emperor this year.

He personally killed Guangdong Juzi!
