  Chapter 460 458 [Qian Qianyi who admits counsel]

  Dozens of officials sat in the hall, waiting for Zhao Han to delete the list.

  Suddenly, Zhao Han raised his head and asked, "Who is this Hu Yuan? What achievements has he made?"

  Wang Tiaoding cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, Hu Yuan is one of the three masters in the early Song Dynasty. He advocated that learning should be clear and practical, and he was the pioneer of Song Dynasty learning."

   That was Zhu Xi's pioneering senior, and Zhao Han crossed him off the list.

  Constructors of Confucianism, it is enough to choose one Zhu Xi. Hu Yuan is crossed out, Er Cheng is also crossed out, Zhou Dunyi and so on... well, Zhou Dunyi can be kept, after all, this is the originator of Confucianism, "Tai Chi Tu Shuo" has a great influence on later generations, it can be said that it has shaped the Chinese people's outlook on the universe.

  Zhang Zai can also be selected, Zhao Han likes Hengqu Siju very much.

   In terms of Li Yan, Zhao Han only retained Zhou Dunyi, Zhang Zai and Zhu Xi among the Neo Confucianists in the Song Dynasty.

  As for the direction of mind learning, Lu Jiuyuan, Chen Baisha, Zhan Ruoshui, and Wang Gen were all crossed out, and Zhao Han was only allowed to keep Wang Yangming.

  Continuing to look at the list, Zhao Han suddenly asked, "Who is Luo Qinshun?"

  Li Banghua said: "A native of Taihe, Jiangxi, a great Confucian in Jiangyou, a master of Confucianism, was as famous as Duke Yangming during the Zhengjia period."

  At the time when Xinxue was at its peak, a Neo-Confucian master who was as famous as Wang Yangming?

   And he was originally from Taihe County, which was also Zhao Han's early territory. I am afraid that many of the central ministers in front of me are disciples and grandchildren of Luo Qinshun, and even Li Banghua may inherit Luo Qinshun's theory.

   This one is really not easy to cross out directly!

  Zhao Han had no choice but to ask: "What did Luo Qinshun teach about?"

  Li Banghua did not answer directly, but elaborated: "From the Jiajing period to the Chongzhen period, the truly sensible Confucianists mostly adopted the doctrine of Zheng'an Gong (Luo Qinshun)."

  Zhao Han immediately understood that Luo Qinshun was very important.

  Confucianism, Song Dynasty Zhu Xi, Ming Dynasty Luo Qinshun.

  In terms of the study of mind, Lu Jiuyuan in the Song Dynasty and Wang Yangming in the Ming Dynasty.

  Zhao Han asked again: "The two of you, Luo Wang, have you communicated before?"

   Li Banghua replied: "The two gentlemen often corresponded, arguing about psychology and Neo-Confucianism. It was just an academic dispute, and there was no hostility, or even sympathy."

  Luo Qinshun and Wang Yangming believed in Buddhism when they were young, but they both hated Buddhism when they were middle-aged. One became a master of Neo-Confucianism, and the other became a master of Psychology. In the last ten years of his life, Wang Yangming had been communicating with Luo Qinshun by correspondence. Both of them wanted to persuade each other, but neither of them succeeded.

  Zhao Han became more and more interested, and asked, "Mr. Luo, how do you think about Qi principles? How do you think about Taoism?"

   Regarding this question, Chen Maosheng and other ministers who did not read much sat there without any special reaction.

  However, the Confucian scholars headed by Li Banghua were very excited.

  His Majesty finally asked, His Majesty finally asked Confucianism, today is equivalent to a feast of classics!

  This is the first time since the founding of the country!

  Pang Chunlai smiled and said nothing, his eyes half-closed, as if he had fallen asleep sitting up.

  Li Banghua got up and replied: "Mr. Luo Wenzhuang (Luo Qinshun) believes that Qi and Li are one thing, but Li is also different. He also believes that the metaphysical is the Tao, and the physical is the utensils. The utensils are also the Tao, and the Tao is also the utensils."

  Zhao Holdun smiled: "I understand why King Luo has the same name."

  Wang Yangming changed the words "new" and "pro" in "Great Learning" in order to **** the right to interpret the Four Books from Zhu Xi.

  Luo Qinshun is also very fierce, directly overturning Zhu Xi's understanding of Qi principles and Taoist instruments. This is to reinterpret Neo-Confucianism from the core structure of Neo-Confucianism, bypassing Zhu Xi, and make Neo-Confucianism more practically instructive.

  Wang Yangming and Luo Qinshun, one of psychology and one of Neo-Confucianism, actually lead to the same goal by different routes.

  Their theories were combined at the end of Ming Dynasty, so thinkers like Huang Zongxi and Wang Fuzhi were born.

   Zhao Han's reaction frustrated the ministers.

  They still want to continue to give lectures to the emperor, and they are honored to participate in the first sutra banquet in Datong. After a hundred years, they can be famous in history!

   As a result, Li Banghua only said one sentence, and the emperor said that he understood.

  How can the ministers continue to talk?

   Qian Qianyi, Zhang Pu and other members of the Hanlin Academy were also called to the meeting this time. After all, it is about the Confucian Temple sacrifices, and scholars should participate.

  Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu looked at each other, feeling a little surprised. The emperor who started a rebellion was not like Zhu Yuanzhang, but someone who had really studied Neo Confucianism.

  Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty may not know what Confucianism is!

  Because I only read the Four Books and Five Classics and annotations, my understanding of Neo Confucianism is still very fragmented. You have to read the works of Er Cheng and Zhu Xi in order to systematically master Neo Confucianism, which is impossible for most scholars.

  Zhao Han read it when he was in Hanzhu Academy, and he read it from a high-level place, reading it from an angle of inquiry and examination.

   You don't need to remember the details, you just need to grasp the overall framework and core ideas.

  In Zhao Han’s view, Neo-Confucianism is a set of world outlook and methodology only from a philosophical point of view.

  Zhao Han continued to review the list, while the officials sat there and waited silently.

  Finally, Zhao Han put down the ink brush and said to the female officer, "Pass it to all the officials to read."

   One by one, some people frowned, some were happy, some were puzzled, but none of them objected.

  Because the sages they most wanted to bring into the Confucian Temple have been retained by Zhao Han, there is no need to argue with the emperor because of a person.

   It's just that Sima Qian who wrote "Historical Records" was selected, but why did Sima Guang who wrote "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" fail?

   It was Zhao Han who personally added Dong Zhongshu, which made people think it was reasonable but also unexpected.

  Dong Zhongshu's "rejection of a hundred schools of thought and exclusive respect for Confucianism" is actually a hodgepodge. What he only respects is the Confucianism of the Gongyang School, with the Confucianism of the Gongyang School as the core, adding the thoughts of Legalism, Taoism, and Yin-Yang School, which has influenced Chinese society for two thousand years.

  Qian Qianyi looked at the list, and then looked up at the emperor. Su Wu could also enter the Confucian Temple?

  Zhang Pu couldn't sit still, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it's fine for Shen Kuo to be selected into the Confucian Temple. This Guo Shoujing is a minister of Meng Yuan. How can he enter my magnificent Huaxia Confucian Temple?"

Zhao Han said: "The "Da Tong Li" of the Ming Dynasty is just a slight modification of Guo Shoujing's "Shou Shi Calendar". Today's astronomy and water conservancy knowledge are mostly inherited from Guo Shoujing, and have benefited hundreds of millions of people for hundreds of years. Why? Can't get in?"

   "If you are a barbarian, you are not allowed to enter the Confucian Temple," Zhang Pu said, "Otherwise, if the puppet Qing Dynasty wins the world, can Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo, and Hong Chengchou also enter the Confucian Temple?"

   Zhao Han explained: "Guo Shoujing was selected because of his knowledge to benefit future generations. How can people like Fan Wencheng compare?"

  Zhang Pu said: "Your Majesty, the people of the world don't care about learning."

  Zhao Han was silent for a long time, then sighed: "Forget it, let's get rid of Guo Shoujing."

   Another discussion, the list will not be changed, and generally follow the three principles of meritorious service, morality, and speech.

  An upright official like Hai Rui and a loyal minister like Su Wu were selected because of their virtue.

   Finalizing the list of Confucian temple sacrifices involves more complicated literati.

  The Wu Temple list is much simpler. Zhao Han can choose whoever he likes. Yue Fei, Yu Qian, and Qi Jiguang are all invited in. Moreover, Yue Fei, who had never been in the Wu Temple, was directly designated as one of the ten philosophers of the Wu Temple by Zhao Han.

  Wu Temple ten philosophers, there can only be ten people.

  Since Yue Fei was invited in, someone had to be invited out. After thinking about it, Li Ji, the British prince of the Tang Dynasty, condescended to be demoted from ten philosophers to a famous general.

  Other people can't invite them out, Bai Qi, Sun Wu, Han Xin, Le Yi, Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, etc., no one can invite them, and Zhao Han dare not invite them.

   "Cough cough cough cough!"

  When he came to the street, Zhang Pu coughed repeatedly. He was seriously ill, and he was bedridden for two months this year.

  Qian Qianyi sighed with emotion: "Confucian Temple, Martial Temple, and Emperor Temple invite a lot of people in and out. Your Majesty is going to re-establish laws."

Zhang Pu coughed for a long time, covered his mouth and said: "Qin Shihuang was invited into the Emperor's Temple, and he had to have a hall to himself, so it is well deserved. If there is no Zulong's Emperor's Temple, is it still called the Emperor's Temple?" "

  The emperor's temple in the Ming Dynasty, there is really no Qin Shihuang, the reason is that the merits and virtues are detrimental.

  From the list of sacrifices determined by Zhao Han, the two knew what it meant. Enshrinement of upright officials advocates incorruptibility; enshrinement of loyal officials advocates loyalty. Shen Kuo's enshrinement is to promote scientific knowledge.

Zhang Pu seems to have regained his strength and stopped coughing. Looking at the bustling market, he said, "Your Majesty, you are becoming more and more like Ming Taizu, and the same is true for re-establishing temple sacrifices. It is almost the same as what Ming Taizu did back then. Do it all over again, just abolish the humble status. Next, it’s time to set up a big prison. I don’t care, I have been sick all the time, and I probably won’t live for a few years. Shepherd, you have to be careful.”

Qian Qianyi trembled all over, and said angrily: "What am I worried about? I am a scholar in the Imperial Academy, but I have not been involved in the court, and I have no chance of corruption. It is His Majesty who wants to build a big prison, and I, Qian What are you doing?"

   Having said that, Qian Qianyi was really frightened, and made up his mind to stay in the Imperial Academy, resolutely not going to be an official in the court.

Zhang Pu said: "Today's Shilin has all kinds of weird theories, and there are still many bitter scholars complaining. In my opinion, if you want to build a big prison, you must first kill a group of scholars. Mu, are there any old officials among your students? There are many people who slander Tian Zheng by insinuating."

  Qian Qianyi was stunned. It turned out that it was not safe to hide in the Hanlin Academy.

  Qian Qianyi was a little anxious, and said sullenly: "Zhang Ximing, are you trying to scare me? This old man is studying hard at the Imperial Academy, and has already cut off contact with his former disciples. From now on, we will thank you behind closed doors!"

   "Hahahahaha!"

  Zhang Pu couldn't stop laughing, he just liked to see Qian Qianyi anxious.

  The two called their husbands on the street and walked across the streets and alleys on sliding poles.

Zhang Pu coughed again, and after his breathing eased a little, he looked at the bustling market and sighed: "The prosperous age is approaching, and my life is not long, and I feel really unwilling. If I can live another twenty years, and see the changes in this world, then what should I do?" What a joy!"

  Qian Qianyi said angrily, "Why are you dying? I don't even say you're dead at this age, so how old are you? You said you were going to die two years ago, and you haven't lived until now!"

(About spreading lime on cultivated land, please explain. Modern farmers sprinkle lime, slaked lime, to neutralize the acidity of chemical fertilizers, and have some insecticidal effects by the way. In ancient times, there was no chemical fertilizer, and the dragoons sprinkled quicklime. In addition , not all of Liaodong, but only part of the cultivated land in Yaozhou and Haizhou.)

   (Thanks to the leader who missed the boy's reward after all!)
