Chapter 573: On the Tao III

"You accepted a child of the Khitan royal family?" Su Dongpo lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at Wu Haogu who was walking on horseback, his brows were already wrinkled.

Mr. Dongpo has now gone north to the Jiehe River with Wu Haogu, and with them are Su Yu, Su Guo, Lu Haowen, and more than a dozen other disciples and grandchildren of Su Dongpo.

Among them, Su Yu, Su Guo and Lu Haowen were ready to accompany Su Dongpo and Wu Haogu to Beijing to discuss Taoism, and the others went to the Yuntai Academy of Science and Technology to serve as professors.

Although the Yuntai Xuegong Jiehe Branch currently only has a doctorate, it cannot only have the route of "convincing people with virtue", and the Confucian principle is still needed. Therefore, Wu Haogu transferred a group of "Great Confucians" from the Yuntai School Palace in Haizhou to go north to the Jiehe River with himself.

And this time, because he brought Su Dongpo and some other Dongpo men who were not able to ride horses, he walked slowly. On the way, Wu Haogu and Su Dongpo also mentioned his newly acquired apprentice Dashi.

However, Su Dongpo thought that it was quite inappropriate for Wu Haogu to accept a child of the Khitan royal family to get started.

"Teacher," Wu Haogu smiled indifferently, "There are a large number of Khitan royal families and descendants, and they are almost the two surnames of Yelu and Xiao, if you want to avoid the royal family and descendants, you won't be able to accept Khitan people as disciples." ”

"Do you have to accept Khitan disciples?" Su Dongpo frowned.

"Of course," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Isn't the purpose of opening the Jiehe Commercial Market to infiltrate Yanyun and spy on the Liao Kingdom from this base?" And if you want to achieve your goal, isn't the best way to use the Yuntai Academy Palace to recruit disciples? ”

"Having said that," Su Dongpo sighed, "but the traitorous party in the DPRK will not let go of this excuse...... Dalang, you have to be prepared to be crushed by the bullet seal! ”

accepted the disciples of the Yelu family as apprentices, and in the eyes of some people, it is ironclad evidence of the Khitan!

"For the sake of the country, in order to recover the sixteen states, it's not a big deal to memorize some bullets!" Wu Haogu didn't take it to heart, "If they want to be impeached, Jiehe Shang City is now also a transit place for the eastern and western transportation of grain from the Liao State...... Tongliao's crime can't be escaped. ”

Su Dongpo frowned, "You are relying on the favor of the official family, I am afraid that one day Jun En will be gone, these are all big crimes that can kill you!" ”

Wu Haogu smiled: "Teacher, what kind of person do you think the official family is?" ”

"Official?" Su Dongpo looked at Wu Haogu and waited for him to answer this question by himself. After all, Wu Hao Gucai is the number one henchman of the official Zhao Ji!

Wu Haogu said with a smile: "The official family is a blessed person, and the enjoyment will be far ahead of the previous generation." As for how to govern the Tao, when you can entrust people with your heart, this is actually the same as the first emperor. Once appreciated by the officials, they must be trusted, and there is no need to worry about slander. If the official family can be named and complemented, a great cause is not certain. It's just that this ...... is a good name."

Later generations had a very low evaluation of Song Huizong, but Wu Haogu came into contact with him for a few years, but found that Song Huizong's personality was not bad. And it is not as suspicious as many kings in history, and it is also very large. If there are any shortcomings, one is frivolous; The second is that he feels too good about himself - the reason why he is not suspicious is probably that he feels too good, thinking that the ancient and modern emperors are the first in literature, and others are not as good as him, right?

In short, Song Huizong is an emperor who is both confident and trustworthy! If he can meet a few famous people, it is not impossible to achieve great things. But the question is, in this era, who can be regarded as a real celebrity inside and outside the Great Song Dynasty?

In the face of the "Wanyan Gunda" who opened the hanging, Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Tong Guan, these traitors can't handle it, let Han Qi, Sima Guang, and Ouyang Xiu be the prime minister, and let Bao Qingtian be the privy deputy envoy (Bao Gong has been an official position) to replace Tong Guan to preside over the Northern Expedition to defeat the "Wanyan Gunda"?

In Wu Haogu's opinion, his iron buddy Song Huizong is also a backstabber! He was in charge of the great Song Dynasty's ancestors and ancestors' national policy of emphasizing literature over military force and the imperial examination system, and the overall literacy of the Song Dynasty's scholar and doctor class was weakened.

There is no need for the scholars and doctors of the Great Song Dynasty to be able to fight like the heroes of the late Han Dynasty and Guan Long of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with the ability of Da Shi, Jiang Handan, Yin Qiang, and even Wu Yanzhong, the Great Song may be able to withstand it.

Of course, this situation is not the fault of the scholars themselves, but the bane of the ancestors of Song Huizong. They used the imperial examination system and brainwashing education to make the elite scholars of the Great Song Dynasty give up the use of force, and at the same time raised the forbidden army on which the country depended to become a waste.

In fact, Song Huizong inherited a country that was largely disarmed......

So this famous appearance, if you are not careful, you will be regarded as a backstabber!

Su Dongpo touched his beard and laughed, and he didn't know if he was thinking about being a famous person again.

"Da Lang," Su Dong ramped, "Since the official family believes in you, then I won't say much about being a teacher."

You should talk to the teacher about the Tao, how do you plan to expose Cheng Yi's pseudo-science? ”

"Teacher," Wu Haogu frowned, "Actually, Mr. Yichuan's theory of heavenly principles cannot be regarded as a pseudo-academic ......"

"How is it not pseudo-science?" Su Dongpo glanced at Wu Haogu, "Uncle Cheng Zheng's knowledge is not fake, is your knowledge fake?" ”

Wu Haogu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "What the student said is inappropriate, Mr. Yichuan's knowledge is indeed fake, but it is useful, so it can't be completely denied."

As for the student's practical theory, it is a study that needs to be explored for hundreds of years, and it cannot give a simple and understandable answer. ”

"The old man understands," Su Dongpo frowned, "You just want to integrate Uncle Cheng Zheng's knowledge into the system of the Yuntai Academy."

It's just, what about this? How can this nonsense be rounded? Who is the master and who is the servant between us and Uncle Cheng Zheng? ”

Wu Haogu said with a smile: "What the teacher asked, it depends on the Tao!"

Mr. Ikawa wants to talk about the superior, but the students want to merge into one...... Only by combining the two into one can Confucianism spread to the outside world! ”

"What about Xinxue?" Su Dongpo sneered, "Xinxue is a manifestation of learning now!" If you don't overthrow Xinxue, even if you can integrate Cheng Zhengshu's fallacy into positivism, you will still be suppressed by Xinxue!

The new ones are quite domineering! ”

Wu Haogu smiled: "There is always a way, they can't be domineering for too long." ”

He only said half of what he said, and the other half was: as long as Zeng Bu, Xu Jiang, and Zhao Tingzhi can't conjure up money to play "Fengheng Yuda" for Song Huizong, then he and positivism can stand!

……

At this moment, when Wu Haogu was thinking about how to integrate positivism and science through a discourse, those people in the New Party and Xinxue had already won first.

On the first day of February in the second year of the Yasukuni reign of the Great Song Dynasty, the official Zhao Ji issued an internal system through the Hanlin Bachelor, authorizing the political hall and the Guozijian to prepare the Confucian Taoist ceremony!

"The book has been issued, what do you think of this ceremony?"

Han Zhongyan held a bowl of tea soup in his hand, and his eyes swept over the new party leaders.

Of course, there was a correspondence between him and Su Dongpo and Su Zhe, and he also knew that the two Su brothers were ready to use this argument to make a comeback!

This is also the last fight of the two of them. Although "Positivism" is not the knowledge of the two Su brothers, Wu Haogu, Su Yu, and Su Guo are all Su scholars. Therefore, Ersu can claim to be a "positivist" teacher.

Once the "positivists" defeated the new school and became the new manifest school, then the second Su Xuanma was inevitable - this argument was a struggle of doctrines by the standards of later generations! The winning side is, of course, the Confucian leaders, and it is only natural that they should take power instead of the losing side.

Moreover, the characteristic of the political arena of the Great Song Dynasty is that the "knife handle" basically does not participate in political disputes, and political disputes are scholars' mouth cannons, so the power held by the New Party does not play a very big role in the verbal artillery war.

"Of course, the topic is set first!"

Lu Dians replied.

Because of the academic struggle, Lu Dian, who was promoted by Han Zhongyan, has now completely fallen into the camp of the New Party. So the ratio of the number of the old and new parties in the government hall is now 5:1!

Lu Dian: "The Confucian Tao has ethics, moral cultivation, and a strategy for governing the country, and there is no need to talk about all three!" ”

Of course, it is not only the worldview and methodology that constitute Confucianism. There is also ethics and political science. Ethics dictates the Han lifestyles and moral norms – most of the things that Chinese think of as incest are derived from Confucian ethics. For example, brothers and sisters or something, it wasn't incest in many places at that time!

The Confucian political doctrine became a hodgepodge in the Song Dynasty because it continued to absorb the learning of various schools, which not only strengthened the absolute monarchy, but also limited the power of the monarchy; There are both the idea of strengthening the centralization of power and the theory of implementing local autonomy. There is an argument that the state monopolizes the economic line of the government, and there is also the argument that the government does not compete with the people for profit.

It can be said that whatever route you want, you can find a theoretical basis in the hodgepodge of Confucianism, and even the truth of GCISM in later generations can find a "Datong thought" in the theory of Confucianism.

The main power of Xinxue is to apply it to various political theories of Confucianism.

"Ethics, morality, and statecraft don't matter," Han Zhongyan asked, "is it just one avenue?" ”

"Isn't one avenue enough?" Lu Dian touched his beard, "The avenue of Confucianism is incomplete, so it was taken advantage of by Buddhism, and now Guan and Luo Zhixue have put forward the theory of heavenly principles, and Yuntai Xuegong has put forward the method of empirical evidence, shouldn't they be allowed to talk about the superior?" ”

"Tao Shan is right," Zeng Bu opened his mouth to help, "Just one avenue is enough for Su Xue and Luo Xue to talk about it for ten years, where is there any other way of kung fu?" ”

"That's right," Xu Jiang said, "Let's talk about the avenue this time." ”

"yes!" Li Qingchen nodded and said, "Shi Pu, now all Confucian students in the world want to know who is right and who is wrong in Tianli and empirical evidence?" ”

“……”

There was a one-sided five-to-one in the political hall, and Han Zhongyan was already weak, and now he didn't insist on it, but he was thinking in his heart: This time Ersu is definitely coming! At that time, no matter what it is, I'm afraid that the political affairs hall and the national eunuch will not be able to control it.
