Chapter 562: On the Dao

"For heaven and earth, for the people, for the people, for the holy road, for the world to open peace...... Hehe, he really dares to say it! ”

Zeng Bu threw a copy of "Practical Doctrine of Taoism" (General Theory) that he didn't know where he got it, and slammed it on the desk in his study, his face full of gloomy colors.

Now that it is approaching the lunar month, the entire Kaifeng Mansion is immersed in the atmosphere of the festival. Not only are the people in the streets and alleys busy for the upcoming New Year. Even the atmosphere in the court hall has become gentle and festive because of the determination of the year name "the second year of the founding of Yasukuni."

However, during this time, a pamphlet called "Practical Enlightenment and Taoism" caused more and more waves among the scholars of Kaifeng Prefecture, which was only transmitted among the middle and lower classes of Confucian scholars and Guozi prisoners at first, but when the New Year was approaching, it finally reached the level of Zeng Bu.

Along with the "Practical Doctrine of Taoism", it was sent to the hands of this Zeng Xianggong, as well as the four sentences of the doctor shouted by Wu Haogu in Jiehe Shang City.

Seeing Zeng Bu's gloomy face, Liu Kui said hesitantly: "Xianggong, now everyone in the three schools of Guozijian is talking about "Practical Preaching Test", and some people say ......"

"Say what?" Zeng Bu asked with a frown.

"It is said that Jinggong Xinxue, which is now regarded as a prominent school, has not been empirically tested, and that many of the new laws in Xining's new policy are not as good as they can be used......

Wu Haogu's "Practical Enlightenment Test" is a great threat to Jinggong Xinxue and various new methods! Even more than the threat to Guan Luo Lixue. Because the existence of "Heavenly Principles" cannot be falsified or confirmed at present, it is a hypothesis that cannot be proved at present.

Many of the claims of Jing Gongxinxue are provable, and positivism is not an "unusable" science, but a practical and usable science. It is consistent with the proposition that Jing Gong's new learning can be applied to the world. Both serve the same purpose, but in different ways.

Jing Gongxinxue advocates "applying the scriptures", while positivism advocates testing the truth through practice and crossing the river by feeling the stones...... How can these two coexist?

In addition, positivist philosophy has a very annoying feature of putting itself in the position of critic. And it's hard to be completely criticized – how do you prove that positivism is completely wrong? You can't use empirical evidence to prove that empirical evidence is wrong, right?

Of course, positivism does not apply to all fields, so it is possible to prove its limitations. But it is simply impossible to completely defeat it, and it is impossible to shake the foundation.

And Zeng Bu obviously noticed this problem too, so he didn't intend to argue with positivism.

"Humph!" Zeng Bu snorted again, "Then tell them to go to the Yuntai Academy!" With their talents, they won't fail the test, right? ”

"They're not going!" Liu Kui sneered, "If you go, there will be no official to do, and today's Xianxue is still Jinggong Xinxue after all." Just ......"

After wanting to speak again, Zeng Bu frowned and said impatiently: "Highway, if you have something to say, just say it!" This is not the court, but there is no imperial history to impeach you for gaffes. ”

"It's just that these students who believe in the empirical arguments will become officials in the court in the future, and maybe they will regard the knowledge of Su Dongpo and Wu Haogu as obvious learning......

A "snap" interrupted Liu Kui's words. The secretary of Guozijian glanced at Zeng Bu and found that Zeng Xianggong's face was about to turn black.

……

"Wu Chongdao really said that?"

Cheng Yi sits upright no matter when and where he is, no matter whether there is anyone in front of him, he looks solemn and solemn, he looks like a well-educated Confucian, not to mention the "evil Confucian" of Wu Haogu, even Wu Haogu's teacher Su Dongpo can't compare.

His two students, Yang Shi and You Ying, who are famous for Chengmen Lixue, are also like him, sitting straight, with a calm bearing, full of Haoran energy.

And Hou Zhongliang, who has been accompanying Cheng Yi, is just sighing at this time, with a regretful expression on his face, as if he is sorry that the "Four Sentences of Hengqu" has been tampered with.

I don't know where Yang Shi, who has been working for a few more years, looked at Hou Zhongliang and said: "Shisheng, you are close to Wu Haogu, but tell me whether that person is loyal or traitorous, or is it evil?" ”

Yang Shi returned to Beijing to guard the election after the expiration of his term of office as a county magistrate, waiting for a new appointment. And You Xing has just been appointed by the governor and the state minister and is about to leave Beijing. He had served as the imperial historian of the court for a period of time before, although he was a figure in the old party front, and he had not had any conflicts with Wu Haogu, but he was still very unaccustomed to Wu Haogu's style. So he snorted coldly: "Wu Haogu is a sycophant, and there is no doubt that he is an unscrupulous villain!" ”

"Since he is a villain, then why is the name of Confucianism?" Yang Shi asked.

Hou Zhongliang sighed: "His name as a great Confucian comes from learning...... Others are small, but knowledge is also true! Brother Zhong, do you dare to say that there is no truth in the "Practical Doctrine of the Doctrine"? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Yang Shi also knew that Wu Haogu's "Practical Doctrine of Taoism" was reasonable!

But Wu Haogu's truth poked at the sore spot of Guan Luo's science! If Wu Haogu had been born for decades and was not a businessman with a copper smell, Yang Shi might have gone to Wuhao Gu's house to "Lixue".

If Wu Haogu was not a businessman, but like his younger brother, he was a good man who was famous outside the Donghua Gate, Yang Shi might admit that the other party had found a way to get a glimpse of the avenue.

But Wu Haogu is a businessman, and he is also a lucky villain...... There is a big loss of private morality!

How can such a person be able to achieve Confucian authenticity? Confucianism is not only about asking questions, but also about ethics! Respect a merchant at the end of the four peoples (in fact, Wu Haogu has always been a scholar) as a great Confucian, and the order of the world must not be reversed?

Cheng Yi sighed softly at this time: "Although this son's way is different from mine, he has indeed seen the way." If he had been born more than a thousand years earlier and ranked among the seventy-two sages, the famous religion would have spread far beyond the four seas, and the world would have been peaceful long ago. But he came out more than a thousand years late......"

This comment made several visiting Confucians have a feeling of shock - listening to Cheng Yi's words, Wu Haogu seems to be a master who can discuss the Tao with Confucius! It is a character who can be ranked among the seventy-two sages!

"Teacher......" Yang Shi looked at his teacher, just when he didn't know what to say. Cheng Yi showed a strange smile: "Shisheng, after the New Year's Festival, you can take a trip to the Jiehe River and invite Wu Haogu to Beijing to discuss the Tao!" ”

"On the way?" Yang Shi was stunned for a moment, "Teacher, do you want to discuss with Wu Haogu?" ”

What kind of person is Cheng Yi! The great Confucian who has been famous for a long time! Grandmaster Taidou level figure, he and Wu Haogu argued, and it was proposed by him...... It's not like this identity has been lost a little bit!

Cheng Yi smiled: "Why can't you talk to the prince of the world?"

By the way, Shisheng, publish the news of the Tao in the "Wenqu Xingxun Bao"! ”

"Get out?" Hou Zhongliang was stunned and stunned, "Teacher, this is ......"

Cheng Yi said coldly: "Guan Luo's study and Su Wu's learning, Jing Gong's new school can't be avoided, right?" As long as they come out, they will lose! ”

I see!

Several Chengmen disciples finally understood. It is not possible for Guan Luo to discuss the Tao with Jing Gongxinxue, not only is it in the hands of others, but it is really impossible to talk about it.

Science is a round road, while the new science is mainly applied to the world, and the two sides of the argument are that the chicken and the duck talk about it, and talk about a fart!

The positivist school, on the other hand, is universally based on ethics, politics, and Taoism. Although the science and their arguments do not have the upper hand, they will not loseβ€”the principles of heaven cannot be proven, and if they cannot be proven, there is no right or wrong. Although the results of the argument will greatly enhance the status of the positivists, it will also establish the status of Wu Haogu's scholars. But as long as the new school participates, then it must be the new school that collapses!

Because how can the New Party's "application of the scriptures" be compared with the empirical test of the positivists? There is no comparison between the two! One is a tool for seeking the great way, and the other is nothing more than dogmatic reform.

And the new school and the new party are one! If the new school collapses, how long can the new party run rampant? At that time, the truth is in the positivist school, and on the side of Guan Luo Lixue, the new party only has fallacies in its hands, so how can it be mixed?

My own teacher is high!

……

"You...... Are you really Jerodashi? ”

At the same time, Wu Haogu, who was preparing to leave Jiehe Commercial City and brave the wind and snow to go south to Haizhou to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with Pan Qiaolian, finally knew that he had no intention (was it unintentional?). Received a super awesome disciple - Yelu Dashi!

Yelu Dashi, who beat Tong Guan's hundreds of thousands of troops in the Xuanhe Northern Expedition with only a few thousand, and later collected the remnants of the Liao State in a desperate situation, conquered Central Asia in the west, and established the huge Western Liao Empire, is now admitted to the doctoral department of the Jiehe Branch of the Yuntai Academy!

"The student is Yelu Dashi, please be bowed by the student."

The one who is worshipping Wu Haogu is the young big stone, and he was admitted to the first phase of the doctoral department of the Yuntai School Gongjiehe Branch with the first overall score.

If...... Without ifs, Dashi would definitely be able to graduate from the academy with high scores, and then join the Doctor of Benevolence and Righteousness group and become a Doctor of Benevolence and Righteousness who fights for the defense of the Gospel!

"Good!" Wu Haogu looked at the heroic big stone, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and nodded, "You are the number one in this year!" No essay on martial arts, all are the best, you will be my best student! ”

Saying that, Wu Haogu untied his sword and handed it to Yelu Dashi, "Dashi, this is my sword, I will give it to you now, I hope you can use this sword to slay the demon and defend the way, and promote my Confucian true learning!" ”

Yelu Dashi didn't expect Wu Haogu to give him the sword, so he was stunned for a moment, but he still took the long sword with both hands.

"Students will live up to the expectations of the FΓΌhrer......"

Wu Haogu raised his hand, "Don't call the head of state, call the teacher, from now on, you will be my personal disciple." ”
