Zhu Si seemed to be unwilling to say: "I and several princes are all students of Mr. Tinglin. If there is no problem with science, it is still necessary to continue to do it. Why did Mr. Tinglin still advocate Puxue and encourage the world to abandon Zhu Xi's commentary and Mr. Yangming's "Biography" and re-adopt the Han Confucian commentary and interpret the scriptures with scriptures? If Mr. Tinglin was wrong, then I shouldn't have worshiped his disciples in the first place. If I, as a disciple of Puxue, can't practice it, then it will be contrary to Mr. Yangming's unity of knowledge and action. In other words, only by re-adopting the method of exegesis for the temple test will your husband and sons not be criticized. After Zhu Si said this, he found that he had a speech problem and felt that he was scolded. But Su Pei was still stuck in thought and didn't notice it. He took a deep breath.

-----

Su Pei thought about it and said a little unhappily: "You are still right after making trouble for a long time, but you still forgot that you can't do it at all." It is easy to explain the scriptures with the scriptures, but the topics are already from the previous dynasty. If you come up with a topic like that again, it will definitely become a trend of plagiarism. Although it is correct to advocate the use of Han Confucian's previous commentaries and the interpretation of scriptures to restore the original intention of Master's article, it is only a kind of cultivation of the soil, and whether or not Pu students can take root depends on the climate and temperature. Zhu Si said: "I know this, it's a big deal, according to Pu Xue's annotation, won't you come up with another 'Mrs. Jun's Yang Desire'?" Isn't this equivalent to giving both the soil to Park Xue and the climate to Mr. Tinglin? ”

Su Peijiao said: "If this is the case, Mr. must be angry with you." "No, no, I will say that you came up with the title." "I knew you weren't at ease. In vain, I will look out for you. "It's not just for me, but also for Xuan'er and Ye'er. Mr. Tinglin should also sympathize with your hard work. Su Pei was dissatisfied: "Is it just sympathy?" Zhu Si said with a surprised expression: "Of course, in addition to sympathy, what do you want Mr. Tinglin to do?" What kind of simple learning, science, and mental learning, isn't it the same 'Mrs. Jun's yang desire'? You, and I, or Mr. Tinglin, or even the entire Ming scholars, who has what to do? Isn't it just a blind man touching an elephant, everyone can just make fun of each other. The so-called imperial examination system is nothing more than a big wave of sand, regardless of whether he has gold or not, as long as the rest is not a madman or a fool. Only those who understand this truth can truly make the best articles and truly become the pillars of the country. ”

Su Pei couldn't laugh when she heard this, she said very emotionally: "I'm sorry for you, Shiro, it turns out that politics is so difficult for a good person." I now finally understand the pain of Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, and Zhang Juzheng during their reforms. Regardless of success or failure, they are the bravest group of people in my Han family. It's just that if such a person is replaced by a king, the outcome may be very different. After all, they were only executors, and in the end, they were all denied by the king to whom they were allegiated. If it is the emperor himself, if he insists on going his own way, there will be a fate like that of Lord Chongzhen. Why is it so hard to be a good emperor?

Both of them knew these allusions, so Zhu Si also sighed: "Yes, I think that when the first emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he thought about changing everything. Cracking down on the eunuchs and rectifying the border defense seems to be a drastic move, but what happened in the end? ended up dying in the country. And in the end, there was only one eunuch who hanged himself with him, isn't it a great irony? He deposed many people, and almost all of the people who were reused in the end left him, and when he rang the Jingyang bell but none of the ministers came, one of the eunuchs he first attacked died with him. When fighting the eunuchs, people called him the Holy Monarch; When the tax system was reformed, people called him Mingzhu. As everyone knows, he has become a tragedy and a joke. If future generations mourn and do not learn from it, future generations will definitely mourn future generations. ”

When Su Pei heard this, he clenched his pink fist tightly, and his knuckles were already white. Needless to say, when Emperor Chongzhen and Wang Chengen died together, Wang Chengen said to him: "If there are nine thousand years old, it will be more than that." After Emperor Chongzhen abolished the Jiangnan tax supervision, the annual income shrank significantly, resulting in a lack of border salaries. So some people proposed to increase the three salaries and drink water to quench their thirst. In the end, Chongzhen and even Daming were crippled by their own determined reforms.

Thinking of this, Su Pei said sadly: "Reform, reform, it's just a nice name." People who really know how to reform will not be able to see where there is reform, or who will make everyone in the world support reform. Otherwise, even if the advocate is the emperor himself, it will turn into a tragedy. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong, it depends on whether the people you use do things for you and whether they listen to your command. If you can't do these two things, even if the person you use is Bao Qingtian or Hai Qingtian, you will still mess things up. It's all too complicated, but I believe there is one thing that should really be done now, and that is to implement mathematics in the main subjects of the imperial examination. ”

Zhu Si suddenly sat up this time, put his hands on Su Pei's shoulders and said excitedly: "I am just waiting for you to support this matter." But first, tell me, why did you suddenly think of this? Su Pei laughed miserably: "What happened suddenly, wasn't it forced to this step by reality?" Does attaching importance to arithmetic mean attaching importance to the so-called 'tricks and tricks'? If ingenuity can increase armament and production, then people in the country will spend more time thinking about making money or expanding their territory, and only then can they reap the benefits. Didn't you say that the war in your heart was for the benefit of all your countrymen? If the emperor can lead the people of the world to do this, then the contradiction is not between the people of the country, but between the interests of the goals. When the time comes, we will either be the mediator or the helmsman. Reform is for the sake of national development and long-term peace and stability. It is also difficult to detect and criticize. What needs to be criticized is nothing more than ingenuity. ”

Zhu Si shouted excitedly: "Wife, you are really amazing. However, you would support the expansion of your military armaments and then expand your territory, which I did not expect at all. Su Pei said: "It is said that 'belligerence will perish'." However, once war can be linked to the interests of the whole world, then what is the "belligerent will perish"? The wars of Shang and Sui Yang were not supported by the people of the world, and those who believed in the truth too much were fools. ”
