Chapter 237: Correct Yang Zhu's name
Liu Chun's counter-killing can be called a classic, he first seemed reckless, went to pay tribute to Guo Shoujing, and then proposed Yang Zhu. made the civil officials mistakenly think that the opportunity had come, they attacked decisively, beat Yang Zhu, and were even full of confidence that they could force Zhu Yuanzhang to kill Liu Chun and cut off this deviant and nonsense little guy.
But Liu Chun, who seems to be completely at a disadvantage, is a terrible killer with a hideous head, a clever hunter, who patiently waits for the civil official to enter the trap before making a decisive attack.
Speaking of which, the biggest weakness of civil servants is the inconsistency between what they appear and what they say.
What they say is benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, but the privileges they should enjoy are not a lot, and they have not been soft in order to fight for their own interests.
So anyone can criticize Yang Zhu, but they alone will put themselves in an unprecedented embarrassment.
This is the fatal problem of not learning logic, there is no rigorous logic, only some specious opinions, in this kind of-for-tat debate, it is very easy to suffer.
No, even Zhan Hui, who was a celestial official of the Ministry of Officials, was beaten and retreated by Liu Chun.
"Who is Yang Zhu's disciple? Who took advantage of the imperial court? And who is not willing to pluck a hair for the benefit of the world? The adults just talked eloquently, their mouths were like a river, and they were talking the truth, why is no one able to explain the doubts of the lower officials now? As long as you can convince the lower officials, of course the lower officials will be disposed of, but if not, I have no other requirements, I want to ask you to give Guo Shou a stick of incense, not to worship him, but to worship science, to admit that our scientific lineage is also orthodox learning, how about it? ”
"Yoo Chun! Don't deceive people too much! ”
Zhan Hui roared again, there was no way, he couldn't come out.
Not long ago, the palace collapsed, and Liu Chun pit all the civil officials once, and Zhan Hui once fought with Liu Chun. It's just that Zhan Hui didn't take Liu Chun seriously at that time, thinking that he was a junior, and occasionally checked cheaply, which was not a big deal.
But this time again, he learned Liu Chun's power, he completely grasped the initiative, and now no matter what, he will fall into his trap, which is really very difficult, but he can't help but fight back.
"Liu Chun, the official said that those preferential treatments are the benevolent heart of the Son of Heaven, as a courtier, eat the king's fortune and repay the king's kindness. Although there are some corrupt officials in the court, His Majesty has also killed many traitors over the years. But most of the officials are still good, and few of them are well-fed. If you don't believe it, you can go to the homes of the officials. Since ancient times, it is natural for kings to raise scholars and scholars to serve the country with their lives. The old man really can't agree, is it according to your meaning, the officials and the common people should be exactly the same, so how to distinguish between the farmers and the industry? ”
Liu Chun chuckled, he really hoped that so, the officials and gentry would pay for the grain in one piece, that would be a good thing!
However, Liu Chun also knew that the meal had to be eaten one bite at a time, and what he had to do now was to stabilize his footsteps and be invincible before attacking.
"Lord Tianguan really has a high opinion, and the lower officials have benefited a lot. In the past, I always felt that the preferential treatment received by hundreds of officials and scholars was rich enough, but after listening to Lord Tianguan, I realized that maybe His Majesty should give more, so that he can truly serve the country! ”
"Yoo Chun!" Zhan Hui was so angry that his beard curled up, and he roared angrily: "Why do you repeatedly misinterpret the old man's words? You, you're unreasonable! ”
Liu Chun suddenly laughed, "Zhan Shangshu, you said that I misinterpreted your words, and you were so angry, so what should you say if you misinterpret other people's words?" ”
Zhan Hui said angrily: "How can the old man misinterpret other people's words, you explain it to me!" ”
"Just say it, aren't the examples right in front of you!" Liu Chun snorted: "What is Yang Zhu's original words, you adults won't be unclear, right?" 'The ancients, who lost a little to benefit the world, did not do it; Serve the world and don't take it. No one loses anything, everyone is not good for the world, and the world is governed! With your great talents, you don't think this means a dime, do you? ”
Liu Chun turned around and arched his hand at Zhu Yuanzhang, "Your Majesty, the minister has the courage to implore Your Majesty to make a note on Yang Zhu's words!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang took a breath and scolded with a smile: "Liu Chun, you are really getting more and more bold," Lao Zhu said this, but he still stood up and said slowly: "Yang Zhu also has a saying, called 'Those who govern the outside well, things may not govern; Those who govern well are not necessarily chaotic. If it is extraterritorial, its law can be temporarily applied to a country, but it is not in accordance with the people's hearts; Under my rule, it can be pushed to the world. Although Yang Zhu's way may not be in line with the learning of Confucius and Mencius, it is not a dime a dime that can be simply encompassed. ”
Yang Zhu and Mozi, as the two most influential schools of thought during the Warring States Period, if they only talked about selfishness and selfishness, would the world believe what he said?
As a person with depth of thought, can he be so shallow and ignorant?
Yang Zhu's meaning is two aspects, for ordinary people, they cannot be required to sacrifice too much for the world, in other words, they cannot exploit the people indefinitely, and they must respect the interests of the people.
On the other hand, for the superiors, the great interests of the world are in front of them, and they can take them arbitrarily and support one person, and at this time, as a superior, they should also restrain themselves and not harm the people.
In the troubled times of the Warring States, countries were constantly fighting and fighting almost every day, and the common people were forced to donate food, take up arms, and live and die.
Yang Zhu faced this reality and put forward his proposition, the common people do not have to lose their interests, do not pluck a hair, and do not have to make sacrifices for the overall situation and the world, everyone can live in peace and stability, and the world will not be peaceful!
Zhu Yuanzhang added another sentence of Yang Zhu's point of view, which made it even clearer, Yang Zhu was talking about "noble self", in other words, a bit of people-oriented, that is, let everyone live well, the world will be better.
From a certain point of view, Yang Zhu's ideas are more far-reaching and idealistic.
However, like many schools of thought, it is constantly misinterpreted.
For example, Lao Tzu will do nothing and do nothing, but in fact, the focus falls on everything, or in other words, do everything first, and then do nothing.
As a result, it was reduced to rule by inaction, which is very different from what Lao Tzu really meant.
Just imagine, in an unprecedented troubled time, someone tells you that you don't have to do anything, and the world will be better. Who would believe it?
This kind of talk will only be regarded as crazy words, and will not be taken as a guideline, and there will be no wisdom to learn from it.
The greatest sorrow of the Yang-Zhu school is that Confucianism has been constantly suppressed, so that the complete doctrine is fragmented and directly drowned in the ocean.
Ironically, thanks to Mencius scolding Yang Zhu, later generations of Confucian scholars did not delete Yasheng's scolding words, which gave people the possibility of getting a glimpse of Yang Zhu's learning.
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Liu Chun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise and erudite, and the minister thinks that what Yang Zhu said about your own self is actually exactly the same as loving the people and benevolent government. For example, since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has recuperated with the people, equalized the land, and enriched the people. It is forbidden for corrupt officials to corrupt officials and oppress the people. After more than 20 years of hard work, we have today's Wufu people are abundant and live and work in peace and contentment. Isn't this exactly what Yang Zhu said, 'Knowing the world and dedicating oneself, not taking it'. The minister heard that His Majesty personally cultivated in the palace, and even the people could not bear to take millet. Such a virtuous monarch, if Yang Zhu is alive, he will definitely burst into tears and praise the Holy Son of Heaven! ”
What is a sycophant, Liu Chun is unabashedly shooting!
Most of the anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart has disappeared, and he is even a little happy.
He brought Guo Shoujing to the Confucian Temple in order to contain the civil officials and disgust them.
But he never expected that Liu Chun not only overfulfilled the task, but also acted-for-tat, but put the civil official in an embarrassing position.
The officials and gentry paid grain in one piece, equalized the land again, and increased the commercial tax...... These are all very exciting suggestions, Lao Zhu seems to have seen Jinshan Yinshan again, but I don't know if I can get it?
"Liu Chun, Yang Zhu talks about your own dignity and does not support one person in the world, but you suggest that I and the officials and gentry pay for food in one piece, what is the reason? Could it be that you yourself betrayed the sages? ”
"Your Majesty, the minister said that our school comes from Yang Zhu, but it is not the same as Yang Zhu, the so-called pushing through the old and bringing forth the new. As Yang Zhu said, it is simply impossible for the people to live and work in peace and contentment if they do not sacrifice or ask for it. The huge world is full of places to spend money, and the so-called inappropriate family does not know the price of firewood and rice. This point is very much in agreement with the views of the Confucian sages, the wealth of the world has its own fixed number, the court takes more, the people take less. And the expenses of the imperial court are also fixed, and if you take more from the people, you will take less from the gentry and wealthy merchants. If you can get more money and taxes from the gentry and wealthy businessmen, the burden on the people will be much lighter! “
These people are about to vomit blood when they hear Liu Chun speak, boy, why did you become a fucking Confucian again? We don't want it!
