My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

"Your Majesty, these are the "Continuation of Yangming Wenlu" and the "Wang Wencheng Gongquan Shu" that record Mr. Yangming's writings during his lifetime."

Soon, Liu Shimin led several eunuchs and came to Zhu Youxiao's Long Shu case with a pile of books.

After asking the young eunuch to put down the book, Liu Shimin looked at the emperor and said.

"Mr. Yangming's study of kings has many categories. I wonder which one your Majesty would like to read besides the original text."

"More branches?"

Opening the first volume of "The Continuation of Yangming Wenlu", before reading a few words, Zhu Youxiao heard Liu Shimin's words and was a little confused.

The study of the heart is the study of the heart, why should it be divided into different branches?
"What are the branches?"

"Returning to your Majesty, it is roughly divided into seven sects."

As a eunuch who was well-read in poetry and literature, Liu Shimin introduced him immediately.

He came from the inner school and knew these academic things quite clearly.

But when the teacher came, this matter became interesting.

For this reason, Wang Xue was divided into seven families.

Confucius originally proposed "benevolence, righteousness, and propriety."

Just take the Five Constant Confucian principles of "benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness" as an example.

As long as you have a thick skin, understand marketing, and copy a few things from other doctrines, you can blend them in.

After Wang Yangming's death, his disciples basically separated and lived their own lives.

Representative figures include Zhu Shu, Yan Jun, Wang Xu, Luo Rufang, He Xinyin, Li Zhi, Jiao Hong, Zhou Rudeng and others.

There is no way, the characteristics of Confucianism are just like this, what stands out is that it is a universal dye.

With knowledge, when the teacher is around, he can still suppress the disciples below.

Jiangyou Wangmen, the mind science in Jiangxi area, the representative figures include Zou Shouyi, Xu Jie, Nie Bao, Luo Hongxian, Ouyang De, Ren Shihuai, Liu Wenmin, Liu Yang, Hu Zhi, Zou Yuanbiao and so on.

Mencius extended and expanded it into "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom."

Confucius had three thousand disciples and seventy-two sages.

Chuzhongwangmen, a school of mind learning spread in Hunan, has representatives such as Jiang Xin and Ji Yuanheng.

Wang Yangming is not a bad person either. There are more than 100 people whose names have been left in history.

Basically, each school holds its own opinion and has its own understanding. They use Wang Yangming's theory of mind to create various creations, but the most prominent one is an out-of-context interpretation.

The northern royal sects are mainly Luoyang royal sects, and their representative figures are You Shixi, Meng Huali, Lu Weiqi, Wang Yiwu, Zhang Xinmin and others.

When he died, there were more than a thousand disciples attending the funeral. Counting those who were out of town, three thousand was not an exaggeration.

Taizhou School, Xinxue, or an outlier in Confucianism, can barely be regarded as the germ of capitalism. Its main ideological tenet is "the common people's daily needs are the Tao."

Nanzhong Wangmen is widely distributed in the south, and its representative figures include Qi Xian, Zhu Dezhi, Xue Yingqi, Xue Jia, Cha Duo, Tang Shunzhi and others.

The Fujian and Guangdong kings, Fang Xianfu, Xue Kan, Yang Ji, Zhou Tan and others.

The representatives of Wangmen in central Zhejiang are Qian Dehong and Wang Ji.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu came up with the theory of interaction between heaven and man, and expanded this concept into "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness."

Anyway, Confucianism is a frame, and anything can be stuffed into it.

"...You can really tell them apart."

Listening to Liu Shimin's narration, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but cover his face with his hands.

If we include the school of mind learning that was uploaded to the Japanese country, there are eight schools of thought.

Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao noticed something was wrong, put down his hand and looked at Liu Shimin.

"That Zou Yuanbiao whom I ordered to become an official also learned the science of mind?"

"Back to your lord, Zou Yuanbiao is a disciple of Hu Zhi, and Hu Zhi is a student of Ouyang De, a disciple of Mr. Yangming."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shimin immediately reported Zou Yuanbiao's apprenticeship. These contents are easy to check.

"Oh, that's it." Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then became a little confused.

If he remembered correctly, the three giants of Donglin were Gu Xiancheng, Zou Yuanbiao, and Zhao Nanxing.

Among them, Gu Xiancheng mainly studies the mind. Zou Yuanbiao, a person who studies the mind, how did you get together with Gu Xiancheng?

What kind of way is this?
"Go and ask me what Zou Yuanbiao and Gu Xiancheng have in mind academically."

"The slaves obey the order."

Hearing this, Liu Shimin agreed and immediately walked outside.

Looking at Liu Shimin leaving, Zhu Youxiao was still a little confused.

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't figure out how this mind study was divided into so many parts.

Han Xu couldn't figure out why the emperor behaved so "normally" at the Sutra banquet.

Then Bi Ziyan, who is working in the cabinet, has nothing to figure out.

Bi Ziyan had already anticipated this sutra feast.

Why did the emperor suddenly order a sutra feast?

The purpose is to let him take the title of emperor's master and secure his position as the chief minister of the cabinet.

After this process is gone, his fate in the future will at least be that of Zhang Juzheng, and he will not be killed by someone.

Regarding the emperor's performance at the Sutra banquet, Bi Ziyan's mood could only be described as moved.

As a scholar, Bi Ziyan responded to the emperor's choice by giving him a peach and a plum in return.

At this Sutra banquet, Bi Ziyan was also conducting a test to test the emperor's attitude towards Confucianism.

Why did he choose to talk about the "Book of Rites" at the Sutra banquet? It's because this book is the foundation of Confucian ethics.

As long as the emperor reads this book and abides by a general etiquette, no matter what the new policy will be in the future, he is sure to be able to protect the emperor.

As for the discussions in the outer court, Bi Ziyan knew clearly that they would not affect the emperor at all.

Looking at what the emperor says and does on a daily basis, is he easily influenced by others?

Just when Bi Ziyan was lost in thought, two officials and a eunuch walked in, holding a big red tray.

"Mr. Bige, this is your salary for this month. Please check it out and sign the receipt so that we can go back and get back to work."

After the eunuch put down the tray, the official's clerk took out a copy and placed it in front of Bi Ziyan.

Nowadays, the salary payment of Beijing officials is done by the Ministry of Personnel.

"Ah."

Upon seeing this, Bi Ziyan briefly glanced at the red seal, then picked up his brush and wrote down the signature, then took out his official seal and stamped it on the seal.

Seeing this, the official's documents began to be torn apart, and each person had half of them.

Since the empty seal case that occurred during the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, this kind of sewing has appeared to prevent counterfeiting.

The reason is also very simple. When a piece of paper is torn open, the same canine teeth will not appear, let alone the writing and marks left on it.

All matters involving money and food must be properly documented, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption will conduct spot checks from time to time.

Bi Ziyan is not the first person to receive a salary.

Later, the assistant minister of the cabinet, Han Xu, and the secretaries of the cabinet also received this month's salary.

The emperor was still bullying people, and Han Xu still had a salary of fifty silver coins.

The salary was paid, and all the officials in the capital were happy.

Although the silver coin is not pure silver and is still discounted by 10%, the silver coin is a real silver coin that can be spent and is not like a treasure banknote that becomes waste paper.

What's more, there have been rumors that the gold and silver ban will be restarted in Beijing. The purchasing power of this silver coin is very strong. (End of chapter)
