Chapter 530 Huang Zongxi

The days of March are gradually getting warmer, and new buds are gradually appearing in the city of Beijing, and the green is gradually rendering in this world.

Yang Reform got up early. Today, Yang Reform is going to visit the Imperial College. Ever since Yang Reform created the stuff of education for all, Yang Reform's reputation among scholars and education circles has been steadily increasing. That king was willing to spend millions of taels of silver every year to support education, and only in the Chongzhen Dynasty today did such a thing happen.

What's more, after the salt merchant case, the emperor uttered bold words to fully support the running of schools, and searched the homes of salt merchants. As long as they were suitable for running schools, as long as people in the "education circle" liked them, they could unconditionally allocate them as places for running schools. This time, Yang Reform's prestige among scholars and educators is directly on par with that of a saint. Whatever the emperor wants to do must be good, and whatever the emperor says must be right. Everything must be supported by the emperor. .

Therefore, there is today's Guozijian "lecturing" party.

"Big companion, how is the road repair of Sanhetu going?" He was about to leave the palace, and Yang Reform was still asking about the road repair of Sanhetu. , the stone road can only be built in the city, and the traffic outside the city can only be made of Sanhe soil. Therefore, in order to verify whether the Sanhe soil will work, Yang Reform specially ordered people to build a section of road paved with Sanhe soil in the imperial city. To test whether it works or not.

"Return to Your Majesty, it has already been built..." Wang Chengen quickly replied, for the special request of the emperor, he did his best to fulfill it, and Wang Chengen immediately built a road that the emperor asked for Sanhe soil.

"Let's go, before leaving the palace, let's take a look at that road first..." Yang Reform's Sanhe soil road is in the imperial city, and if he wants to test it, he must get the Forbidden City. Since it is rare to get the Forbidden City today, Yang Reform wants to take a look at it.

"As ordered, Your Majesty..." Wang Chengen agreed.

After a while, the chariot came directly to the side of the road paved with three-in-one soil. This is a wide road that can pass two carriages.

The loess road is slightly yellow, but it looks like some cement is congealed together, which is a bit interesting. This is Yang Reform's first impression.On the contrary, the road seems to be quite solid, and it looks quite flat. There are also a few up and down slopes specially made, and the slope is not too steep. If you are driving a horse-drawn carriage, you can easily go up.

"Is this the road made of Sanhe soil?" Yang Reform asked suspiciously.

"Return to Your Majesty, this is indeed a road made of Sanhe clay..." Wang Chengen replied.

"Oh, Sanhe soil, those three materials?" Yang Reform asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the three things used today are loess, lime and fine sand... If these three things are hard to find, you can also use pottery powder and gravel instead, or river sand..." Wang Chengen replied .

"Oh, these three things!" Yang Huaihe took a visual inspection of the yellow mud road made of triadic soil. It seemed to be quite solid, but he didn't know what it would be like on a rainy day.

"...What about rainy days? What will happen?" Yang Reform asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, if it's raining heavily, it must be wet..." Wang Chengen replied.

"Then if there are more cars crushed on rainy days, will there be mud pits?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Returning to Your Majesty, if it is raining and there are many carriages crushed, there will still be some mud, but it will not be washed away by rain like ordinary roads. This is safe..." Wang Chengen quickly explained, In the past few days, he also has to pay attention to the project that the emperor cares about from time to time, and he knows exactly whether this road is good or bad.

Yang Reform stepped on the Sanhe soil road and found that the road was really solid. It looked like a cement road.

"Oh, that's it! Let's go, go up and try..." Yang Reform didn't say much. He got on the carriage and wanted to try the road himself.

"Your servant obeys..." Wang Chengen quickly agreed, and quickly called the guards to drive the emperor to test the road in a carriage.

Yang Reform sat in the carriage, and the car got on the Sanhe soil road. To be honest, it was indeed more comfortable than the stone road. At least there were not so many harsh sounds. The car seemed to be much more stable and not so bumpy.

The road to Sanhetu was not very long, and it was over in a while. Yang Reform sat back and already had an idea in his mind.

"That's right, buddy, this kind of road is suitable for the outside of the city. In this way, you send people to send various vehicles of light and heavy to crush it back and forth without stopping, and then simulate the situation of a rainy day, wet the road and then grind it back and forth. Look at this What will happen to the road? If there is any unsatisfactory situation, let the internal officials record it at all times and analyze how to solve it. I am going to build a road. I should take all the situations on the road into consideration as soon as possible, and try my best Make a good road." Yang Reform had tested the road made of sanhe soil, and ordered Wang Chengen to test the various performances of the road.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen quickly agreed.

When Yang Reform got into the carriage again and was about to set off, he looked at the wheels again, they were still covered with iron, there was nothing to replace them, and he didn't care.

……

National Supervisor.

There are many guards, one post at three steps and one sentry at five steps, surrounding the Guozijian layer by layer.

First, I paid homage to Confucius, and then I went to Yilun Hall. In theory, Yilun Hall was the place where the emperor gave lectures, but in fact, there were not many emperors who came here, and the number of visits was not too many. They were all symbolic. Many emperors of the dynasty were half-way monks, and this place was obviously unpopular for many emperors.

A throne was also placed on the Yi [yí] Lun hall, and Yang Reform was elevated to the throne, accepting everyone's salute. This time, the discussion with people from the "education circle" was officially started.

It is said that the emperor gave lectures, but in fact, it was more of a "party" type of activity. Everyone also took care that the emperor was a monk halfway through, so it was impossible to have advanced knowledge. Therefore, a traditional project came first. The descendants of the sage Confucius spoke a passage of the sage's speech.

This time Kong Zhenyun, the 63rd generation grandson of the sage Kong, gave a lecture on "Da Yumo".

Indeed, as everyone expected, the emperor didn't like this kind of esoteric things, or he didn't know anything about it. He knew it just by watching the emperor sitting on the throne like an "idiot". As everyone expected, all the people who were listening to the lecture in Yilun Hall lowered their heads as if they didn't see it, or shook their heads and groaned, following the trainer's train of thought.

Yang Reform listened to it and found it boring. Instead, he thought of the strange practices of the descendants of Confucius in the Republic of China. There were many jokes on the Internet, saying that so-and-so was going to be president, and the descendants of Confucius rushed to persuade them to enter the book After a few days, so-and-so is going to be the emperor again, and he hastily submitted a letter of persuasion, and then so-and-so heard that he was going to be restored, so he hurriedly submitted a letter of persuasion, and then so-and-so is relatively powerful, and may become the boss. He hurriedly wrote a letter of persuasion. In short, during the time when the country was sinking and the nation was in peril, he did things very funny. With these prejudices from later generations, Yang Reform did not like to see this certain grandson of the sage Confucius.

The descendants of Confucius were about to end, and another man surnamed Ni came and talked about some hexagrams, but Yang Reform still didn't listen.

Finally, the traditional project passed, and it was the emperor's turn to "lecture".

"Cough..." Yang Reform coughed.

All the people in Yilun Hall looked up at the emperor, to see what the Holy Son of Heaven was going to say, and what knowledge he wanted to pour out.

"...I've listened to it for so long, but I thought about it by chance, and I don't know how to explain it..." Yang Reform didn't come without any preparation, but he also prepared some "content" for himself, so that he wouldn't be in a hurry.

"...When I heard Kai Zhong talk about "Da Yumo", I thought of a problem. The knowledge of the sage is called Confucianism. I thought about it. How should I interpret the word Confucianism? The sage defined his learning as Confucianism. It must be reasonable, I don’t know everyone present, who can explain my confusion.” Yang Reform really didn’t dare to show off the thing of “lecture”, let alone steal a few poems to show off like other time travelers. Because of this ancient knowledge, most of Yang Reform is not familiar with, or does not understand, if you want to show off, in front of these "experts", it is easy to reveal your secrets, not to mention that you are the emperor, and there is no need to show off. Don't want fame, and don't want fame, just start the "get-together" discussion.

"Report to Your Majesty, I know." Lin Qian stood up and replied immediately as the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine.

"Oh, the Qing family, tell me, what should be the interpretation of this Confucian word?" Yang Reform asked with a smile.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Confucianism refers to scholars, and the sage Confucius is a model for all ages. Confucianism should be used as the word for teaching careers and solving puzzles." Lin Qian said.

"En." Yang Reform nodded, but answered very flatly.

"...Do those present have any other understanding?" Yang Reform asked again.

"I want to report to Your Majesty, I have something to say." As a great Confucianist in the world and the second leader in the "education circle", Liu Zongzhou also came out and said.

"Hehe, what's the answer to the Qing family?" Yang Reform asked with a smile. This guy is now devoted to "education". Education, let them choose the salt merchant's house this year, which has earned him countless faces among the scholars, and his reputation has skyrocketed.

"Return to your majesty, Confucianism, softness, sorcerer's name. From people, you need to speak, so you say Confucianism..." Liu Zongzhou's habit of hanging book bags has broken.

"Well, it makes sense, but I still want to hear it. Do you have any other different opinions? I want to hear something new." Yang Reform asked again.

"Report to Your Majesty..." The people in Yilun Hall started to discuss enthusiastically, and the "party" seemed to be particularly harmonious.

After asking a few more people, Yang Reform just laughed and said nothing, never being sure of anyone.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty's opinion, what does Your Majesty think of this Confucian character?" In Yilun Hall, a young student who was less than 20 years old suddenly stood up and asked loudly, with a somewhat aggressive tone in his tone.

When Yang Reform was suddenly asked, he was taken aback for a long time. No one had spoken to him directly like this for a long time. Yang Reform had been emperor for a long time, but he was not used to it. The Yilun Hall suddenly quieted down like this, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"...Tai Chong, sit down quickly..." Liu Zongzhou was so anxious that he was sweating all over his face, he shouted softly again and again, beckoning the young man to sit down, but the young man pretended not to see him A fighting spirit.

"This is this?" Yang Reform asked curiously. The young man who stood up looked like he was not afraid of the sky and the earth, but he was quite motivated. Yes, there must be a "relationship" between them. If it's not that the grades are exceptionally good, it's the relatives and disciples of the "leader". Otherwise, if this kind of "discussion" with top leaders can come casually, then there is really a problem. Yang Reform didn't lose his temper either. The people here are basically the "imperial party". Judging by common sense, this young man should also be a relative and child of a certain "imperial party". It would be unwise to set the fire on his own head. , Seeing Liu Zongzhou sweating anxiously there, he affirmed his conjecture that this kind of opportunity, as a "leader", cannot be lost in vain, so he stared at Liu Zongzhou and asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is my minister's disciple who studied under me. His name is Huang Zongxi, and his style name is Taichong. His father is Huang Zunsu, one of the Seven Gentlemen..." Liu Zongzhou introduced with sweat on his head. He is really too courageous, and has always had the thought of "dislike" the emperor. This time, he wanted to use the opportunity of the emperor to come to the Imperial College to make him familiar. Unexpectedly, things "as expected" ", he contradicted the emperor, Liu Zongzhou hurriedly stood up to intercede for his disciple, hoping that the emperor would take it for his sake and his father's sake, and don't blame him.

"Huang Zongxi?" Yang Reform's eyes widened!This is a historical celebrity!The evaluation of him in history books is quite high, and he is regarded as one of the ideological enlighteners of China in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.Unexpectedly, I actually met him, and he was also Liu Zongzhou's disciple, that is to say, this guy is still a little emperor, this world is really amazing.

"Oh, I just remembered, it's the one with the awl..." Yang Reform said suddenly after being surprised and sighing.

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right." Liu Zongzhou was even more embarrassed. No wonder the emperor's eyes widened when he heard Huang Zongxi's name, and he was extremely surprised. His disciple's name was very famous, and that was his disciple who tried the eunuchs last year. At that time, in order to avenge his father, he used an awl to poke Xu Xianchun and Cui Yingyuan in the lobby of the questioning case. This incident caused a big disturbance at that time, and the Donglin Party took a lot of effort to settle it.

"Hehehe, interesting..." Yang Reform laughed.This Huang Zongxi was appraised by history as a thinker in the late Ming Dynasty. The evaluation is quite high, and he must have some advantages. If he wants to carry out reforms now, he must first emancipate his mind and culture before he can further promote various aspects of society. Reform is like the Renaissance in the West. Only when the shackles of thought and art are loosened can society develop further. Yang Reform has been looking for a liberator of this kind of thought. Huang Zongxi, one of the last three great thinkers, doesn’t this mean that someone has taken the burden of being an emancipator of the mind?What's more, this guy is actually Liu Zongzhou's disciple. It seems that he has a close relationship, which is more interesting. In other words, he happens to be in the middle of the liberation of culture and thought, but there is really no one more suitable than him up.

"Hehehe, it's all right, Liu Qing's family won't think that I am a man of no stamina, right? After the Seven Gentlemen, it's no wonder that you are so staunch, not bad, not bad!" Yang Reform praised, picking up a historical celebrity, of course he should be very happy Fan, this guy is not very useful to many rebels who have time-traveled, but for himself, who has time-traveled to become an emperor, it is quite useful, and may be more useful than some military experts. Apart from all kinds of ideological confinement, this thing is not comparable to one or a few military experts. In the late Ming Dynasty, there were countless military experts. The military is good, but there are very few mind emancipators. If you want to spend money to get the mind emancipator, if you calculate how many people have been born in hundreds of years, you will know how difficult it is. This is really not a matter of money. .And the emancipator of the mind is undoubtedly more important than the military master to promote reforms involving all aspects of the whole society. At present, what I lack is this kind of person.

"... Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Liu Zongzhou was really ashamed, the emperor was still showing affection and nostalgia.

"...Since the gentleman asked this question later, let me tell you how I understand the word Confucianism." Yang Reform began to explain his own views while thinking about how to subdue this historical celebrity.

"... I think that Confucianism, in terms of words, means people and needs, and needs should be interpreted as the needs of needs, not as softness. Therefore, the Confucian characters that are combined with people and needs are the most The key meaning is the needs of people. This is the core of Confucianism and the true meaning of Confucianism. What are human needs? The idea of ​​a sage..." Yang Reform said.

"what!……"

"what!……"

"what!……"

In Yilun Hall, everyone exclaimed in unison, Confucianism is what people need?The core of Confucianism is human needs?This is a rebellious statement!It completely overturned the previous commentary on Confucianism, and everyone looked at the emperor in horror.Even Huang Zongxi, a "non-mainstream" person who has always "disliked" the emperor, was impressed by the emperor's remarks, and was stunned by the emperor's words. There is also a more "non-mainstream" person than himself, and this person is still the emperor... …

"...Hehehe, I haven't read the book for a few days, and I don't understand the general principles. I just secretly feel that Confucianism should be interpreted in this way, so that it can be explained, and only in this way, can the sage's words be understood. Only then can you understand the sage’s ideas.” Yang Reform now has money in his hands, an army in his hands, and countless prestige, so he dared to risk the world’s dissatisfaction by using a knife on the prefix of Confucianism. If it was before, Yang Reform could not imagine I dare not even think about it, but now, Yang Reform wants to try to see how high the prestige of the emperor is.
