Chapter 582: On the Dao - Criticism
On the road, it's time to turn to criticism?
When Wu Haogu heard Cheng Yi's question, he knew that the two old men, Cheng Yi and Su Dongpo, wanted to come......
"People's words may not be compassionate enough, and ancestors may not be lawful." Su Dongpo was prepared, and replied with a smile, "Right and wrong, how can you only listen to people's words without confirming it?" As for the law of the ancestors, it is necessary to be cautious in changing it, after all, the law has been practiced for many years, and there must be something feasible about it, and if it is to replace it with a new law, it is necessary to assume, verify, and constantly amend. If you act blindly, it is better to change than to remain the same! ”
"Su Dongpo, are you talking about the law of the first emperor?" Liu Kui, the director of Guozijian, suddenly asked sharply, interrupting Su Dongpo, who was firing his mouth.
Su Dongpo snorted: "This law can't be discussed, how can it be better?" If it is not negotiable, it cannot be proven, and if it cannot be proven, it is impossible to know its merits and disadvantages. If you don't know its advantages or disadvantages and change it, you are blindly seeking change, this method ...... How can we get better and better?
Changing the law is a matter of seeking up and down, and the ancestral law that has been practiced for so many years is not suitable, as a younger generation of courtiers, can you really ignore it and only seek a new law from the scriptures? ”
That's great! Finally got the handle! Su Dongpo is slandering the new law and new policy...... If you say it bigger, it's a slander!
Zhou Chang and Liu Kui, who were present at the meeting, were so happy!
However, Lu Dian, who specially asked for leave to come here to observe, frowned, Su Dongpo was indeed attacking the law, but people used the positivist theory to make the attack very powerful, and it was difficult to refute.
In addition, Su Dongpo now has villains to help, and it is not easy to criticize others. The villain is rich, and this villain is still fast enough for the people to make money, and the official family is very good at spending money!
Just when Lu Dian was thinking about how to find ironclad evidence to defeat Su Dongpo, Cheng Yi spoke again: "Zizhan, today's discussion is about the Great Dao rather than the ethical law, so there is no need to say much about the gains and losses of changing the law." If you really want to discuss, it's better to wait for you and me to finish discussing the Great Dao, and then invite Zhongxiu, Highway and Farmer to discuss it together. ”
Su Dongramp said: "That's what I mean!" ”
Is this a war book?
Lu Dian's hearing Cheng Yi call his name, he snorted coldly and said, "What is my attitude towards the new law, isn't Uncle Zheng still unclear?" If you want to talk about the new law, don't ask me, if you want to talk about the new study, I can accompany you. ”
"Okay," Su Dongpo replied with a smile, "Then let's talk about the avenue today, and then talk about new learning when we have time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”
"It's a deal!" Lu Dian didn't want to talk about it, but Cheng Yi and Su Dongpo publicly wrote a war letter, how could he, as a new leader after Wang Anshi, be a turtle with a shrunken head?
Cheng Yi smiled: "Then, the old man is like Mr. Dongpo and Wu Chongdao asking for advice from Heaven." ”
Ask the heavens!
The audience sitting below, including Bai Siwen, a Confucian scholar, and the Kurong monk of Dali, as well as Zhao Ji, Gao Yu, and Cai You, who were sitting outside a side door of the main hall, all cheered up.
The avenue of Confucianism has always been imperfect, and after it has developed to a certain extent, it has encountered a bottleneck and has been exploited by Buddhism and Taoism.
Wu Haogu explained: "The way of heaven is also natural, and the way of all things in nature is one, which is the way of heaven!" This Heavenly Way has not yet been proven, so it is a credible hypothesis. This Heavenly Daoist is credible, can be sought, and can be known.
Only by believing in the way of heaven can we seek the way of heaven, and only by seeking the way of heaven can we know the way of heaven. But the way of heaven is difficult to know and hard to find, and you can't delusionally climb to heaven in one step.
Therefore, the way to seek the way of heaven must start from a small place, first seek thousands of small paths, and then from small to large, gather and peek into the avenue, and prove the avenue.
As for the way to seek the truth, the only way to do it is to first put forward a credible hypothesis and then prove it.
The empirical one is the one who sees the facts, which must be seen and felt, tested and tested. Although human beings are primates in all things, they are not born to know everything, and they must obtain knowledge through learning, exploring, perceiving, and verifying, and at the same time, deducing knowledge that has not been empirically proven in the process, which is a credible hypothesis. When the knowledge of the hypothesis has been repeatedly empirically proven, and the laws and laws are summarized, it is the knowledge that man has mastered, that is, the Tao.
When a person has mastered the thousands of paths, the ways we have hypothesized can be verified......"
Wu Haogu gushed endlessly about his heavenly way and empirical evidence. In the whole hall, all the people listened with their ears pricked up. No matter what these people thought of Wu Haogu before, but now they have to admit that the doctrine proposed by Wu Haogu is very perfect. At least they can't find where the vulnerability is?
Of course, just because they can't find a loophole doesn't mean that everyone can accept this theory.
Because of Wu Haogu's theory, all the gods and goddesses have been directly turned into hypotheses! Hypotheses can be confirmed or falsified, which is a bit of a public outrage.
Bai Siwen, a Confucian student of the Great Food Country, frowned, although he was not a religious expert of the Heavenly Sect, but he knew Confucianism and knew that Confucianism used to avoid the Great Dao. If you avoid the Great Dao, you will not conflict with the Great Dao of the Heavenly Sect, and you can even accept the Dao of the Heavenly Sect with an open mind.
But now...... Once the Great Dao theory proposed by Wu Haogu becomes Confucian orthodoxy, then Confucianism will change from avoiding the Great Dao to verifying the Great Dao!
And this avenue of truth...... Can it be verified?
Wu Haogu is fortunately on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, if he goes to the West, there is a chance that a religious war will be triggered!
The brows of the Kurong Great Monk sitting beside Bai Siwen furrowed even tighter, and his chubby, not bitter old face was twisted into a ball.
They Dali believe in Confucianism, pay attention to the Buddha's heart, Confucianism - in fact, not only Dali is like this, but also the Great Liao, Goryeo, and Annan are now all on this line. Even in the Great Song Dynasty, some people proposed the division of labor and cooperation of "governing the country with Confucianism, governing the body with Taoism, and governing the mind with Buddhism".
The combination of the "Heavenly Dao Hypothesis", "Belief in the Heavenly Dao" and "Empirical Seeking the Dao" put forward by Wu Haogu can govern the country as well as the mind. The most hateful thing is that it can also be used to test the truth of other people's homes...... Still unreasonable?
Song Huizong and Zhao Ji smiled and listened to Wu Haogu's reasoning, and did not decide that there was anything wrong. He believes in Taoism, and the Tao of Taoism can be proven! Feathering and ascending to immortals, soaring in the daytime, alchemy for longevity, fortune-telling and word measurement to see faces, isn't this all preaching?
If nothing works, isn't that a fool? Those who don't know how to ask for immortal alchemy and fortune-telling are fakes!
And the newly learned theorist Lu Dian, who was so angry at this time that he was almost dying, and his face was blue and white for a while. He is a scholar, and he still doesn't understand it?
This argument is not about right and wrong at all, but about how to work together to get together!
Guan Luo's Tianli Yuanqi system can be completely integrated with the empirical hypothesis system of Su Dongpo and Wu Haogu!
Heavenly Principle is a credible hypothesis! It can be slowly tested by empirical evidence......
Not to mention whether Su Dongpo, Cheng Yi, and Wu Haogu, the traitorous villains, can finally refute the "application of the scriptures" of Xinxue, it is such a complete empirical system of Tianli hypothesis, and the position of Confucian masters has been established.
……
"You've been fooled!"
In the evening, in Zeng Bu's prime minister's mansion, Zeng Bu, who already knew the way discussed in the Guozijian during the day, complained as soon as he saw Lu Dian, Zhou Chang and Liu Kui who were visiting.
"Zixuan, people point to their noses and write war books, can they still avoid fighting without fighting?"
Lu Dian sat down and said, "If you don't fight, won't you make the world laugh?" ”
"Tao Shan is right!" Liu Kui also followed to help, "Wu Haogu and Cheng Yi's set is okay to cure the heart, but it can't govern the country." ”
Zhou Chang nodded and said: "That martial artist is too young, even if he has the qualifications of heaven and man and understands the way of empirical evidence, it is impossible for him to be proficient in the hundred classics, so he must not be able to say ours." ”
Wu Haogu must have attained enlightenment!
However, enlightenment and sutra are not the same concept, Shakyamuni became a monk at the age of 29 and became enlightened at the age of 35 under the Bodhi tree. Jesus Christ was 26 years old when He was crucified. Muhammad was 40 years old when he saw the angel Gabriel, but he had never been to school and was illiterate. Then it is not surprising that the 25-year-old Wu Haogu has learned the way of empirical evidence.
However, it is impossible for Wu Haogu to read through the scriptures of the hundred schools of thought, and if he has not read them through, how can he refute the application of the scriptures?
"Wu Haogu naturally doesn't know the scriptures of a hundred schools, but Su Dongpo and Cheng Yi are pedantic!" Zeng Bu looked at the few people in front of him, "If Wang Jinggong is here, he won't be worried, but now ......"
"Zixuan," Lu Dian, shaking his head, said with a firm face, "Although Su Dongpo and Cheng Yi are highly educated, I am not afraid of them. Because the truth is on our side after all! ”
Zeng Buxin said: The truth should be on our side! But now that people have a very powerful way of reasoning, if you really want to talk about it, you may not be able to win!
But it's definitely not okay to avoid it, and if you retract it, you will become unreasonable in the future.
"Okay," Zeng Bu nodded, "you guys go back and rest for the night, and then have a good discussion with them!" ”
……
"Teacher, what the hell do you think?"
"What do you think? Of course, it is necessary to turn the new school into pseudo-learning! ”
"Not this ......"
"Which one is that?"
"The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother......"
"Da Lang, you are a Confucian now, can you stop talking about this?"
In the Pear Blossom Courtyard, Wu Haogu listened to Su Dongpo's words, and there was only a sigh in his heart. Isn't it just sycophancy? Isn't it just flattery? Isn't it just to be a villain? What's there...... I don't know who wrote history in the future! What do you mean by that? What matters now is power, and only when power is in hand can we use the Tianli hypothesis and positivism to save the country and the nation.
Otherwise, in the future, it will be the barbarian who took off Timur to write the "History of the Song Dynasty", so we don't want him to say good things!
Seeing Wu Haogu's sad face, Su Dongpo smiled and said: "Da Lang, don't think so much, take a good rest, tomorrow we will go together to refute the pseudo-science left by Wang Anshi." ”
