This was a dilemma. Although he didn't know who was harming him, Xu Guangqi knew that he might not be able to escape this time.

Although Xu Guangqi knew that the imperial court was currently in turmoil, with partisans fighting against different factions, and everyone was engaged in various struggles, he had no choice but to avoid being involved.

But Xu Guangqi also knew that if he was involved, the end would not be much better. How did Li Zhi die?

The Taizhou School itself did not welcome visitors. Whether it was the predecessor He Xinyin or the later Li Zhi, who ended up with a good end?

Everyone is the same!

The battle of orthodoxy has always been cruel and bloody, and there is no right or wrong. Xu Guangqi doesn't think he will be different.

If I told you, what would be my end?

Xu Guangqi never expected that his trip to Beijing would be fatal.

He raised his head and looked at the young Emperor of Ming Dynasty, trying to see something from his face, but he couldn't see anything. Xu Guangqi was heartbroken. After all, it has reached this point, so just speak frankly!

"Your Majesty, my teacher is from the Taizhou school, which is similar to the ideas respected by Mr. Li Zhi." Xu Guangqi said bluntly.

"Oh, is that so?" Zhu Youxiao said in a questioning state: "Then please tell me, my dear!"

Xu Guangqi was stunned. Do you still want to talk about this? Do you want to use evidence of your own crime?

Xu Guangqi decided to choose something explosive to say. As for when he would offend His Majesty, he could not predict it.

At the same time, there was a trace of hope in Xu Guangqi's heart, that is, what if he could convince His Majesty?

"Mr. Li Zhi and his teachers denounced Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism as pseudo-Taoism and believed that one cannot 'take Confucius' right and wrong as right and wrong'. Most of the poems and articles criticized the idea of ​​the first seven scholars and the latter seven to restore ancient times. They believed that "The Romance of the Western Chamber" and "Water Margin" were "

Ancient and modern texts. The Six Classics, The Analects of Confucius, and Mencius are not all words of saints, but were formed through the praise and promotion of later generations."

"It cannot be regarded as the unchangeable truth for thousands of years. These writings are written by ignorant disciples at that time, and most of them are not the words of the saints. Even if they are the words of the saints, they are just medicines and stones issued for a moment and cannot become "the words of all things."

"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi who was talking eloquently, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Li Zhi is really amazing. He is definitely a great thinker of his generation. It is really amazing to make such a voice in this era.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also felt that this is the idea that exists for a place that dares to reform. Even the Tao of Confucius and Mencius is not an eternal Tao, let alone the ancestral system?

Once this theory is recognized, any ancestral system can be bypassed and various reforms can be carried out directly.

All the nonsense talk has no basis, the ancestral system cannot be changed, the ancestral system cannot be abolished, there is no such thing.

"Mr. Li Zhi and my teacher still believe that Confucius is not a saint. Everyone is a saint, and there is no need to learn from Confucius." Xu Guangqi continued.

But at this point, Xu Guangqi stopped.

In his opinion, this is where Mr. Li Zhi and his teacher were most deviant, knocking Confucius to the ground.

Zhu Youxiao's face was expressionless, he didn't think it was anything. In later generations, Confucius had already been beaten once.

But Zhu Youxiao also knows that people still have to have faith. If the old ones are overthrown, new ones will have to take over, otherwise there will be big trouble.

Li Zhi believed that everyone is equal and everyone can become a saint. This is the best theory of succession. Zhu Youxiao also knew the inflammatory nature of this statement, which has been proven by later generations.

"Why didn't Aiqing say anything?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi and asked with a little doubt. He was listening very enthusiastically!

In fact, Zhu Youzheng was applying Li Zhi's ideas to his own body, trying to see where he needed to modify and where he needed to make changes to make this idea more suitable for him.

Xu Guangqi was a little confused. What are you talking about? Your Majesty is not angry. He was heartbroken. If he is not angry, then he will give you some more news.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Li Zhi and my teacher believe that most of the Neo-Confucian disciples in the world are defenders of benevolence, righteousness and morality. They are hypocrites. They are called mountain people, but their hearts are like merchants. They talk about morality but aim to get through. They are originally rich and noble.

However, I think I don't want to pretend to be a person, but I really want to use it as a ladder to honor myself, and I also adopt moral and righteous things to cover myself up." When Xu Guangqi said this, he looked at Zhu Youxiao carefully as he spoke.

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he suddenly laughed and couldn't stop laughing.

He discovered that Li Zhi was really a talent. Li Zhi died too early, otherwise this talent would have been the best candidate.

The meaning of this passage is very simple, that is, these Donglin Party and other Neo-Confucian people are all hypocrites.

They pride themselves on being noble, but what they do is all businessmen's business, and what they think in their hearts are all businessmen's thoughts. Their talk of benevolence, righteousness, and morality is nothing more than rhetoric to cover up themselves.

As a descendant, when I think about what the Donglin Party did, isn’t this talking about them? No wonder these people wanted to kill Li Zhi.

This means that someone has exposed him and made him angry. If he wants to eliminate Li Zhi's thoughts, he must eliminate them from the root and kill Li Zhi directly.

Xu Guangqi looked at the laughing emperor, with a somewhat tangled expression on his face. At the same time, his heart was full of questions. What happened? Was he laughing out of anger?

Thinking about it, this was the case. He really couldn't escape today's disaster. Thinking of this, Xu Guangqi's mentality calmed down. Since he couldn't escape anyway, there was no need to hide anymore.

It took Zhu Youxiao a while to stop his laughter, coughed a few times and said, "Ai Qing, keep talking!"

"You still said it?" Xu Guangqi asked in his heart. He thought he would be dragged down soon, but he didn't expect to say it again?

Okay, let’s talk.

"Mr. Li Zhi and his teacher believe that when scholars of Neo-Confucianism talk about learning, they always say that you are for yourself and I am for others; you are selfish and I want to be altruistic. In fact, they are all 'study to seek high status, and office to seek respect.

', It's all for his own sake, and he's not trying to make plans for others. Such hypocrites who are so duplicitous and whose words and deeds are inconsistent are worse than the businessman and Litian author who are down-to-earth and say what they say."

Xu Guangqi did not stop this time and continued directly: "These people talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but in fact they use Taoism as a stepping stone to deceive the world and seek high-ranking officials and salaries for themselves. They talk about morality but have high-ranking officials in mind.

In The Rich'."

Zhu Youxiao felt even more pity in his heart. What Li Zhi said was so reasonable. Isn't it true?
