I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 288 The horror of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism!Take control of the capital!

And as Fang Xiaoru received the reward, his reputation became famous and spread throughout the capital and the world.

More and more Confucian scholars joined Fang Xiaoru's group.

In order to revive Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, the atmosphere in the capital of the Ming Dynasty suddenly became extremely serious!

In the capital, once a common person behaves inappropriately, he will be heavily criticized. Under the banner of "preserving heaven's principles and destroying human desires", all the common people will not dare to do anything out of the ordinary.

As long as they show any greed for food or other desires.

It will attract a kind of criticism from Confucian scholars!

It seems as if he has committed some huge crime!The social atmosphere of the entire capital has changed!
The capital, which was originally full of energy, seemed to be imprisoned by something all of a sudden.

It no longer has vitality and makes people feel less alive.

On the contrary, these Confucian scholars who criticized and criticized others enjoyed a life like gods. They pretended to be gentlemen on weekdays, but in private, they lingered in the land of fireworks.

Indulge in drinking and having fun!
All the principles that are advertised can only restrain ordinary people, but cannot restrain these scholar-officials!

These changes were all clearly visible in Zhu Yunxu's eyes, but he didn't care. He was waiting for an opportunity!
Confucianism has never been monolithic.

There are also factions. Some of the Confucian scholars represented by Fang Xiaoru support the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism that imprisons human desires.

Naturally there will be schools of thought with different opposing views.

Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism arose in the Song Dynasty and was considered a prominent school at that time. However, in addition to the Luo School of Ercheng, there was also the Guan School of Mr. Hengqu Zhang Zai.

Hengqu's four sentences, "Establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry forward the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations", which has been praised by all generations.

Among his thoughts, the idea that "learning is valuable and useful, and Taoism can help the world" is quite different from Ercheng's Luo Xue.

But unfortunately, Zhu Xi finally gathered the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought and absorbed them into Neo-Confucianism.

As a result, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism now accounts for almost half of the Confucian scholars, and almost most Confucian scholars regard Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism as their guigao.

But Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism does not benefit the development of society.

The only useful thing is to maintain the rule of the ruler, but this is only a temporary solution, not the root cause!

Zhu Yunxu knew the final outcome of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. This set of ideas would never bring the Ming Dynasty eternal life, and would only bring destruction and end to the Ming Dynasty!

One day, it will harm Ming Dynasty!

So Zhu Yunzhen was waiting, waiting until the people in the capital were dissatisfied with Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, and waiting for some Confucians to be dissatisfied with Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

Wait until among the officials, someone is dissatisfied with Fang Xiaoru!
At that time, it was time for Zhu Yunzhen to step forward to clean up the mess and open up a new situation in Ming Dynasty's thinking!
But now, it's not time yet!
You have to let the bullets fly for a while!

……

Seven days later.

Royal Palace.

Royal study.

Zhu Yunxuan observed recent changes from Jiang Yu's report.

In just seven days, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism had a strong tendency to take charge among the capital.

Its speed is simply appalling!
However, this is also because Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism has a long history. Subtly, everyone has already followed Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

It’s just that there were no such strict requirements in the past.

Moreover, since Zhu Yunzhen took charge of the country, his thoughts were unbound, the environment was relaxed, and the people in the capital were extremely free.

It’s no longer as high-pressure as it used to be.

That's why it looks active and prosperous.But now, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism has raised its head again, no, it should be said that it has once again dominated the people of the capital!
Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism has never disappeared.

It was the official orthodox doctrine in the Yuan Dynasty.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism has been promoted!Lao Zhu’s contribution here is second to none!
This led to the profound foundation of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism among the people and Confucian scholars.

Fang Xiaoru had just been awarded the award.

There is a strong tendency to control everything!It is enough to see how high the position of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism is in people's minds!
And this is the horror of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism!
As long as someone masters this kind of thinking and has the right to interpret this kind of thinking, he can even be above the imperial power!After all, the construction of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was a Confucian school developed by scholar-bureaucrats in order to suppress imperial power.

A groundless 'natural principle' was constructed.

Even the emperor must comply with this so-called "natural law". If anyone violates the "natural law", those who grasp this kind of thinking can criticize them at will.

In essence, this is actually an alternative theology!

And those who hold the power to interpret the 'natural principles' are the witches of this era!
They hold the "natural principles" in their hands, and anyone who opposes them has violated the "natural principles" and obeyed them.

They are all gentlemen who comply with the 'natural principles'!

How ridiculous and double standards?
But from another perspective, if Zhu Yunzhen joins them and uses this so-called "natural law" to oppress and fool the people, it will naturally be beneficial to his rule.

So the emperor was actually a beneficiary.

It's a pity...that's not the case with Ming Dynasty, and even less with China!

Zhu Yunzhen was not willing to allow Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism to continue to prevail for his own personal gain, curbing the creativity and vitality of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

It will even endanger the future development of Ming Dynasty!
"The Ming Dynasty's thinking must be changed..." Zhu Yunxuan sighed in his heart after listening to the news reported by Jiang Yu.

In just a few days, countless shocking incidents have occurred.

There have been at least three cases in the capital of the capital where women were forced to dip into pig cages. Although they were all cleverly prevented, the trends can be seen.

There are so many people in the capital who are greedy because they want to innovate technology and are criticized for their strange and obscene skills.

On weekdays, if the people in the capital spend a little more.

They are all criticized, and they are asked to "preserve nature's principles and destroy human desires". They are forced to avoid luxury and be as frugal as possible.

Suppress the consumption of the people in the capital.

But after these Confucian scholars finished speaking, they turned around and forgot all about these things.

Don't even mention it to yourself.

This double standard has been taken to the extreme!

"It's almost time to take action..." Zhu Yunzhen thought silently.

This time, what he is going to fight against is not a certain person or a specific matter, but a deep-rooted thought!

If you want to get rid of this kind of thought, you have to criticize this thought to be useless!
Sparking a nationwide discussion!
The reason why Zhu Yunxuan praised Fang Xiaoru was also due to this reason. His status had not reached a certain level, and it had no effect at all!
What's the use of just targeting Fang Xiaoru?

Can Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism be allowed to disappear in the land of Ming Dynasty?It's no use at all!
But it's different now. With Zhu Yunxun's special praise, Fang Xiaoru can almost represent Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism!
He is completely the spokesperson of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism!
And if you refute Fang Xiaoru now, it will be equivalent to trampling on Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism!
A new thought will replace the old thought.

Replace Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism to dominate the entire Ming Dynasty!

And this kind of thinking, Zhu Yunzhen hopes to be inclusive, open and upward!

It can truly guide the social atmosphere of Ming Dynasty to the right track, rather than to depression and oppression!Let alone let Ming’s thoughts be imprisoned to the point of stagnating!

Countless people have been persecuted because of the so-called 'natural principles'!

Lost the most basic human conscience!
Therefore, Zhu Yunzhen would not allow Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism to prevail in his Ming Dynasty!
