"The topic of the Tao is naturally related to the principles of heaven."

Cheng Yi is still in the lobby of Guozijian, still looking sanctimonious. Mr. Yi Chuan, who was worshiped by the Confucian scholars of later generations, was seventy years old at this time, although his heat was exhausted and his face was not good-looking, but his well-educated and Confucian temperament had not weakened at all. Not to mention that the juniors like Wu Haogu can't be compared, even the current Guozi Priest Jiu Zhou Chang and Guozi Jian Siye Liu Kui can't be compared.

In comparison, Zhang Lei, Taichang Shaoqing, who came to Guozijian on behalf of Su Dongpo and Wu Haogu, and Lang Zhongchao of the Ministry of Rites seemed to be much more relaxed, and the two of them leaned on the back of their chairs, both with a calm smile.

They have correspondence with Su Dongpo and Su Zhe, so they naturally know that this time is actually a big counterattack by the old party!

Once he succeeds, Mr. Ersu will pay homage to the prime minister! And they, the Sumen scholars, naturally have to come to the bitter end.

However, on the face, both of them are as low-key as possible, after all, the new party is still strong!

Zhang Lei smiled and said: "It's better to take the mourning on the "Book of Rites" and say: 'Dare to ask the gentleman how valuable is the way of heaven?' He said to Confucius, 'It is more expensive than yourself.' Just like the sun and the moon, the east and the west, so that they do not have themselves, it is the way of heaven. If it is not closed for a long time, it is the way of heaven. It is the way of heaven to do nothing, and it is the way of heaven to become clear. 'Let's talk about it. ”

Chao Buzhi said: "You can also use the son of the Analects to say: 'What is the word of heaven? At four o'clock, all things are born, what is the heavens? '. ”

Of course, Su Dongpo's two disciples have studied the book "Practical Enlightenment and Taoism", so the topics they came up with are "Heavenly Dao" rather than Heavenly Principles, in fact, they follow the Heavenly Dao ideas of Lao Tzu and Confucius - the positivism proposed by Wu Haogu is precisely used to do this.

Guozi Priest Jiu Zhou Chang's face was a little gloomy, of course he was a member of the New Party and Xinxue, of course he knew that Cheng Yi and Su Dongpo were not good characters - such a person should be sent to Danzhou and not allowed to enter Beijing!

Now he is actually going to talk about it in the palace of the country......

Liu Kui, the secretary of Guozijian, sighed softly: "What does Mr. Yichuan think?" If there is no objection, use these two questions. ”

He knew that the current trend was instigated by his old father-in-law, Lu Jiawen-Lu Jiawen's precious son became a victim because of the struggle between the two parties, so he wished that the old and new parties would eat the dog, and they would all bite to death!

But if you really bite it, who knows what the result will be? In case the new party and new school really falls......

"The old man thinks these two questions are not good, it is better to take "Mencius. "Dedication" in "The husband and gentleman are turned into the gods, and the gods who exist, and the upper and lower flow with the heaven and the earth, how can it be said that it is a small supplement?" And 'all things are ready for me.' Reflexive and sincere, happy and happy. 'Let's talk about it. Of course, Cheng Yi would not let Su Dongpo's disciples make the question, and immediately took out Mencius's "unity of heaven and man".

In fact, his science was further developed on the theory of "the unity of heaven and man".

In fact, after Confucius "sought the Tao" and "sought the Tao", Confucianism was equivalent to raising the question of "what is the way of heaven", and Mencius, as a Confucian sub-sage after Confucius, naturally tried to answer Confucius's question.

"The unity of heaven and man" is Mencius's answer, and the science of later generations is the ultimate development of Mencius's thought.

And the theory of "the unity of heaven and man" can directly refer to Wang Anshi's "the sky is not enough to fear, the ancestors are not enough to be afraid, and the words of people are not enough to be compassionate".

In addition, compared with Confucius's thoughts, Mencius paid more attention to the "people", and at the same time wanted to restrain the "king", so there was a theory that "the king is light, the people are precious, and the society is secondary". And Mencius's theory of "the unity of heaven and man" is also used to restrain people and kings.

Therefore, Wang Anshi's three fearlessness is completely a negation of Mencius's idea of the unity of heaven and man and the thought of the people, nobles, and gentlemen!

Who are Zhou Chang and Liu Kui? Of course, I know what kind of wishful thinking Cheng Yi is playing again! In fact, Cheng Yi is not afraid, they are all seventy years old this year, and the theories they put forward are strange, and they are not Confucian orthodoxy. What really worries them is the master and apprentice of Su Dongpo and Wu Haogu, especially the latter......

……

"The topic of Guozijian's discussion of the Tao is there?"

After Liu Kui walked into Zeng Bu's study, Zeng Xianggong, who was buried in a pile of manuscripts, raised his head and looked at the visitors who came over at night by the dim light.

"There are four questions," Liu Kui smiled bitterly, "the two questions are Confucius's way of heaven, and the two questions are Mencius's unity of heaven and man...... Xianggong, this Cheng Yi is not dead! ”

"Just don't give up!" Zeng Bu's tone was cold, "Although it has been two years since the establishment of Yasukuni, how can the Yuanyou party members be willing to die? ”

"But ......," Liu Kui said, "what should we do if the Dao hurts Wang Jinggong's new learning?" ”

As soon as Su Dongpo came, the argument was already out of control! What the result will be, Zhou Chang and Liu Kui don't know.

"Got it." Zeng preached, "Highway, go back, I have my own way to deal with the matter." ”

"Then the next official will retire." Liu Kui came quietly, it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, and after a salute, he drifted away.

"Zixuan, things are not easy to do!"

As soon as Liu Kui left, Cai Jing's voice came from behind a screen. Then I saw Taifu Siqing, who was dressed in civilian clothes, slowly walking out from behind the screen.

Cai Jing and Zeng Bu have always been incompatible, even if they rarely communicate in private, and today is not much, Cai Jing actually took advantage of the night to visit Weifu.

"Yuan Chang," Zeng Bu looked at him, "you know the thoughts of the official family best...... Who exactly does the official family support? ”

Cai Jing smiled: "Zixuan, you still don't know what the official family thinks?" I support Empress Liu. ”

"Yuan Chang......" Zeng Bu twisted his eyebrows, "What time is it?" You still say such things, and you can't say this nonsense, if you let the imperial history hear it, you and I will be unlucky. ”

Cai Jing shook his head again and again, "When it comes to understanding the upper intentions, Zixuan, you are still a little worse!" ”

"How?" Of course, Zeng Bu noticed something unusual. He can also guess that the official family and Queen Liu have a leg - this is nothing, people are not afraid of words! Talented and beautiful, the two are happy, what's not to do? So Zeng Bu didn't take it seriously, but the nature of letting Empress Liu be Empress Dowager Liu was different.

Cai Jing said: "The foundation of our waiting is not to learn from the new, but to do things for the official family...... And what the official family wants to do now is to make Empress Liu the queen mother! ”

"What?" Zeng Bu looked at Cai Jing and couldn't believe his ears.

"Make Empress Liu the queen mother!" Cai Jing repeated it again.

"But, but...... Empress Liu is the imperial sister-in-law! Zeng Bu couldn't believe it, "How can you be the queen mother?" And the queen mother is bigger than the queen! ”

The Queen Mother is older than the Empress, while the current Empress is older than the former Empress. In other words, now the first in the harem is Queen Wang, and then Queen Liu. If Empress Liu becomes the queen mother, then Queen Wang will become the second in the harem.

"The king, the queen has a son!" Zeng Bu looked at Cai Jing.

Empress Wang's son is the future Emperor Qinzong, now called Zhao Kang, who was crowned King of Jingzhao County, and is two years old this year...... I heard that he had never been sick, and the Hanlin medical officer didn't know him! It is estimated that he followed his father, and there is no problem in growing up.

If anyone helps Song Huizong turn Empress Liu into Empress Dowager Liu now, and Zhao Kang comes to power in the future, then he will not have to retaliate fiercely? Even if he dies, his children and grandchildren may be unlucky.

As for the Empress Dowager Liu, no matter how she is the Empress Dowager, she can't have a son with the official family, right?

Moreover, in case the official family dies before the prince becomes an adult, who will come to the court to listen to the government?

Cai Jing smiled bitterly and said: "Xianggong, I have already said what the official family meant, what to do, you can do it yourself." ”

……

"Teacher, do you really want to be the prime minister?"

Wu Haogu was on the official ship that went south to Kaifeng Mansion (because Su Dongpo followed, it was inconvenient for Wu Haogu to hurry up), and finally asked the question that he had been holding back for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Su Dongpo looked at Wu Haogu, "Do you think that being a teacher is not qualified to worship the prime minister?" ”

"Eligible!" Wu Hao Gu paused, "And you can also be a ......"

"Say it," Su Dong ramped, "If you have something to say, just say it!" ”

"As long as the teacher can support Empress Liu to be the queen mother!" Wu Haogu also opened his hole cards, and he is now against the New Party.

Han Zhongyan and Cai Jing alone are not enough to protect themselves, and the best way is, of course, to let the Soviet Party and the Cai Party go hand in hand.

And if you want Su Dongpo to worship the prime minister, it is not enough to rely on the Tao, but also to ask Su Dongpo to flatter. Now there is an opportunity to flatter, that is, to support Empress Liu to become the queen mother.

As long as Su Dongpo satisfies Song Huizong in this matter, there should be no problem in paying homage to the prime minister.

"Da Lang, you say it again." Su Dongpo turned his head and looked at Wu Haogu.

"As long as the teacher can support Empress Liu to be the queen mother!"

"Liu Huanggong...... Empress Liu of the first emperor? ”

Wu Haogu smiled bitterly and nodded.

"This and this, this ......" Su Dongpo was speechless in surprise, "Da Lang, are you joking with the teacher?" Empress Liu is His Majesty's sister-in-law! ”

"The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother!"

"Is it like a mother? Or do you accept stepmarriage? ”

Accept step-marriage! Dare to say that......

"Teacher," Wu Haogu said in a low voice, "This matter is indeed inappropriate, so it has not been done until now." However, the determination of the official family is below, and if the teacher is willing to support it, there is no problem in paying homage to the prime minister. ”

"But, but the queen has a son!" Su Dongpo shook his head, with a look of panic.

If the queen didn't give birth to a son, this matter would be a little ugly, and in order to be the prime minister and do things for the country, she would have done it. But now Empress Wang has a son, and Empress Liu can't legally give birth...... If the official family has anything, is it the Empress Dowager Liu or the Queen Mother? Don't fight two women in the palace!

Regarding the teacher's panic, Wu Haogu could only respond with a helpless wry smile. Isn't today's official family "frivolous"? The absurd things are only starting now, if Su Dongpo really does the same thing, I don't know how much absurdity he will have to deal with in the future.
