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

Chapter 294 The unity of knowledge and action!To conscience!The new school of Confucianism!

Fang Xiaoru panicked.

Starting to panic completely.

As for Zhu Yunzhen's other attack methods, Fang Xiaoru was actually not very afraid, they were nothing more than death.

And if Zhu Yunzhen wants to kill himself, he will definitely offend all the Confucian scholars in the world.

From now on it was difficult to move forward.

He would even throw away his position as Crown Prince, even if he didn't do well!

But he never thought that Zhu Yunzhen would knock him down based on Confucian theory!Use the most direct words to the core to crush the foundation of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism!

Tianli, what is Tianli?
Should heavenly principles exist, and is it reasonable?

Before this, everyone believed what Zhu Xi said and felt that there should be heavenly justice in the world.

After all, the law of heaven is clear, and retribution is not good.

It is in line with everyone's cognition and opinions. At the same time, the principles of heaven proposed by Zhu Zi were born out of Confucianism. Although it is different from the Confucian doctrine of the mean, it is quite extreme.

But it also saved Confucianism.

Let Confucianism regain its dominance and become the orthodox doctrine.

But now, Zhu Yunxian smashed Cheng Zhuxue into pieces mercilessly!Tell all the unreasonable things about Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism!
But Zhu Yunzhen used the words of a saint.

It is its true intention, which makes people blameless!

Fang Xiaoru couldn't argue at all. After all, he really couldn't find where Confucius said that nature is pure and good, and heaven's principles are supreme.

In the final analysis, Zhu Xi also overinterpreted Confucius' words.

Use the other person's words to explain your own thoughts.

There are also a lot of Zen thoughts mixed in it, and it is unclear whether I really agree with what Confucius said.

Before today, no one would have noticed this.

But after today, everyone can't help but think, if Zhu Xizhen was a Confucian disciple, how could he borrow Buddhist theories?
Even though everyone does it.

Moreover, the unification of the three religions is the general trend, but after you are exposed, it will be different!

In particular, His Highness Taisun is obviously not dissatisfied with Confucianism.

But I am dissatisfied with your Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism!
In this way, wouldn't there be opportunities for other Confucian schools to rise?Maybe it will be reused!
Zhu Yunxian threw Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism out of the Confucian class.

Just to tell all the scholars in the world that I am not targeting Confucianism, and your interests will not be damaged. There is no need to go to the dark side with Fang Xiaoru.

Just need to change a school of thought.

Is this difficult for readers?
Simply not too simple!
In fact, what Zhu Yunxuan said is indeed true. Do Confucian scholars necessarily have high moral standards?
If we really had high moral standards, there would be no such ridiculous and generous civil servants as "the water is too cold and the scalp is itchy"!
Zhu Xi's method can only cultivate hypocritical and hypocritical scholars!
And it is impossible to cultivate truly virtuous scholars!

"From Gu's point of view, how can there be any justice in this world?" Zhu Yun's words were not surprising and he would continue to die.

When everyone has not reacted.

He put forward his own point of view: "I believe that the true principles of heaven and the true great road are not high above, but in our hearts."

"What Confucians have been pursuing since ancient times is the unity of heaven and man! What is the unity of heaven and man? The heart of heaven is my heart, and my heart is the heart of heaven!"

"The true avenue lies in our hearts!"

"This means: the heart is reason!"

"And when we seek truth, we do not simply seek the truth about virtue, but also seek the truth about everything in nature."

"I have a few words to give to you."

I saw Zhu Yunxuan reciting softly and slowly: "Recognize the principles of heaven everywhere, and thousands of saints with six words will walk with you!"

"Thousands of miles away, I can sense with one heart, and observe life in the ethereal spirit."

"Gu believes that people have their own natural principles in their hearts, and what everyone has to do is to understand the natural principles in their hearts in different environments."

"And practice your own destiny."

"Instead of blindly looking at the superior laws of heaven and suppressing one's original intention at every turn."

"But I forgot that there is no distinction between good and evil in the human heart!"

"This means: they are similar in sex!"

Immediately, Zhu Yunzhen said again: "However, the nature is similar but the habits are far apart. There is no good or evil in human heart, but there is good and evil in human intention."

"You need to understand and know good and evil before you can become a conscience."

"To do good and eliminate evil is to examine things!"

"The Book of Rites says: To know something, you need to examine things, and then you will know."

"What is knowledge? What is conscience?"

"How to investigate things? Knowing and doing are one!"

Zhu Yunxuan borrowed the ideas of Lu Jiuyuan and Wang Yangming to re-elaborate on Zhu Xi's study of things to achieve knowledge.

Completely different from Er Cheng and Zhu Xi.

According to Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, knowing comes first and doing comes last, which often results in knowing but not doing.

The unity of knowledge and action proposed by Wang Yangming is to integrate the two into one, and no longer distinguish between them. Ignorance means no action, and no action is equal to ignorance!
Both are indispensable!

Later, Zhu Yunzhen did not forget to bombard Cheng and Zhu Lixue.

"The core of Cheng and Zhu's Neo-Confucianism is the so-called Heavenly Principle, which is called Heavenly Principle. In fact, it uses the strong to bully the weak and forces the people to follow benevolence!"

"There is no trace of Confucian benevolence at all!"

"The way of a sage is to be benevolent, to suppress greed, to seek, and to educate without doing harm. This is the golden mean!"

"Never ask for help!"

"The origin of Confucian morality and the foundation of teaching ability are completely missing from Neo-Confucianism! How can such a learning that harms the country and the people continue to exist in the Ming Dynasty?!"

Below, all the ministers and officials were shocked. What His Highness Taisun said was so accurate!
Let the ministers below wake up!
The Confucian way is originally about the mean, and establishes virtue based on one's own virtuousness.Then govern the world with virtue and influence all people.

But what about science?

However, it is the only form of Confucianism that cultivates benevolence and righteousness on the surface, but its essence of seeking benevolence and righteousness is increasingly unclear!
Qiang said that the laws of nature are used to establish benevolence and virtue, and then to be wise.

Isn't it completely the other way around?
According to common sense, only when a person is wise at heart can he have the virtues respected by everyone and can he govern the world with this principle.

But now Neo-Confucianism has just drawn a target first.

Said this is the law of heaven.

Anyone who hits the target is a virtuous person!

So everyone saw what the person who hit the target did, and everyone followed suit, without having to worry about what they were thinking deep down.

Look for appearance, not heart!
Isn't this ridiculous? !
Now, Zhu Yunzhen proposed that if you want to become a saint, you must first seek your inner conscience, because the human heart is the law of heaven.

Everyone starts from their own heart.

Only then can we truly achieve: The way to a university lies in Mingmingde!
In this way, everyone starts from their original intention, explores the principles of heaven, and cultivates virtuous people in this way, only then can they be truly virtuous people.

Rather than a hypocritical person like Neo-Confucianism.

Neo-Confucianism cannot make you a true gentleman, let alone a true saint!
But Zhu Yunzhen’s attack on Neo-Confucianism didn’t stop there!

He wants to really crush Neo-Confucianism to death in one go!

Even though Fang Xiaoru was completely speechless at this moment, his mouth was wide open and he was breathing heavily.

Zhu Yunzhen didn't let him go either.

He continued: "The Master said: A benevolent man must be brave!"

“Mencius also said: If you criticize someone, that’s called respect, if you’re good at it, that’s how you respect someone.”

"This is truly benevolent!"

"Neo-Confucianism is benevolent but does not seek the moderate. It insists on the principles of heaven and uses the principles of one family to replace the principles of the world."

"This is really powerful but hypocritically benevolent!"

"Not the true meaning of Confucianism!"

"If everyone can develop a conscience, unite knowledge and action, proceed from the original intention, and do virtuous things."

"In this way, we have not lost the true meaning of Confucianism, and we are truly benevolent."

It can be said that Zhu Yunxuan criticized Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism from all aspects.

At the same time, he mixed in his own views on psychology.

The ministers and officials below are actually no strangers to the study of the mind, because the study of the mind has actually been around for a long time.

It can be traced back to Mencius at the earliest. Cheng Hao in the Northern Song Dynasty opened the door, and Lu Jiuyuan in the Southern Song Dynasty opened the door.

It can be said that the current Confucianism, in addition to Neo-Confucianism, is the study of mind.

The two are equally courteous.

However, since Neo-Confucianism has always been the official orthodox doctrine, everyone follows Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

But this does not mean that Xinxue does not exist in the court.

The Confucian school has never been so clear-cut. After all, Confucianism is naturally very inclusive.

Among the ministers and officials, there are many people who are actually quite knowledgeable in the study of mind.

At this time, when I heard the views put forward by Zhu Yunxuan, focusing on the study of mind, I was extremely happy!

I can’t wait to celebrate!
Since the Yuan Dynasty, Neo-Confucianism has been the dominant family. Could it be said that there is a chance for Xinxue to return to orthodoxy?
The more astute people figured out Zhu Yunzhen's plan.

Taisun was dissatisfied with Neo-Confucianism and wanted to replace the official orthodox doctrine from Neo-Confucianism to Xinxue!

For many Confucian scholars, this is tantamount to an earth-shaking change!
But is it not an unprecedented good opportunity? !
This battle is no longer a battle between Zhu Yunzhen and Fang Xiaoru, nor is it a battle between Zhu Yunzhen and Confucianism.

It is a dispute between Confucian schools!
The dispute between science and psychology!
But the difference is that behind Xinxue, there is the support of His Highness the Grand Sun!
Everyone couldn't help but think in their hearts that what Taisun said today must be the guidance of an expert behind his back!And the reason why Taisun did this was to replace the psychology with Neo-Confucianism!

Things are completely different from what everyone imagined.

His Highness Taisun did not stand against Confucianism. On the contrary, Taisun stood with Confucianism, and Neo-Confucianism stood against Confucianism!

In this Confucian debate, Fang Xiaoru lost before he even made a move!

In a hurry, he couldn't even find anything to refute Zhu Yunzhen!

And what happened today... once it spreads.

With his current status as a leader in the literary world, he can definitely represent Neo-Confucianism!

And today's defeat means... Neo-Confucianism has really lost to Xinxue!

Scholars all over the world will also start to think about whether they should continue to listen to Neo-Confucianism or turn to Xinxue?
They are all Confucians anyway, so this doesn’t count as a career change?

But Zhu Yunzhen was more ruthless than they thought.

The order was given: "Today's dispute in the court, send a special person to sort it out."

"Not a word less, not a sentence more."

"Publish it in the People's Daily and let the people around the world comment on it to see who is more reasonable!"

The ministers were stunned.

Your Highness, Taisun, is going to kill people and be heart-wrenching!
Not to mention His Highness Taisun's intention versus unintentionality, today's argument with Fang Xiaoru already had the upper hand.

In panic, Fang Xiaoru couldn't even find a few words to answer.

But let’s just talk about His Highness Taisun’s reputation among the people.

Everyone must also support His Highness the Grand Sun!
Moreover, everything His Highness Taisun said was true knowledge!
How could you lose?
