"For the benevolence of heaven and earth, to live in the people, to preach the great way for the sages, to bring peace to the world... Haha, he really dares to say it!"

Zeng Bu suddenly threw a book called "Practical Proof of Taoism" (General Theory) from somewhere and threw it on the table in his study room, with a gloomy face.

It is almost the twelfth lunar month, and the entire Kaifeng Prefecture is immersed in the festive atmosphere. Not only are the people in the streets and alleys busy for the upcoming New Year Festival. Even the atmosphere in the court has become more gentle and festive because of the determination of the year name "The Second Year of Jianzhong Jingguo".

However, during this period, a booklet called "A Trial of Practice and Proving the Tao" caused more and more troubles in the scholars in Kaifeng Prefecture. At first, this wave was only passed on to middle and lower levels of Confucian scholars and Imperial College students, but when the New Year was approaching, it finally reached Zeng Bu's level.

The four doctoral sentences that Wu Haogu shouted in Jiehe Market with the "Practical Proof of Taoism" were also given to Zeng Xianggong.

The "Examination of Practical Proof of the Tao" in Zeng Bu's hand was brought by Liu Kui, the Imperial College Supervisor. Seeing Zeng Bu's gloomy face, Liu Kui said hesitantly: "My husband, now everyone in the Imperial College Supervisor's third school is talking about the "Examination of Practical Proof of the Tao", and some people say..."

"What do you mean?" Zeng Bu asked with a frown.

"It is said that Jinggong's new school, which is now regarded as a prominent school, has not been empirically tested, and it is also said that many new laws in Xining's new policy are not so good to use..."

Wu Haogu's "A Trial of Practical Proof" also has a great threat to Jinggong's new learning and various new methods! It even exceeds the threat to Guanluo's Neology. Because the existence of "nature" that cannot be falsified or verified at present is an unproven hypothesis.

Many of the new Jing Gong's proposals are verified, and positivism is not a "unusable" science, but a practical and useful academic study. It is consistent with the new Jing Gong's proposals for new Jing Gong's proposals for new Jing Gong's proposals. The two have the same purpose, but the methods are different.

Jinggong's new learning advocates "interpretation of the classics and application", while positivism advocates the test of truth in practice and advocates crossing the river by feeling the stones... How can these two coexist?

In addition, positivist philosophy has a very annoying feature, which is to place itself as a critic. And it is difficult to be completely criticized and criticized. How can 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 impossible to completely defeat it, and it is impossible to even shake the foundation.

Zeng Bu obviously noticed this issue, so he did not intend to argue with positivism.

"Hmph!" Zeng Bu hummed again, "Then let them go to Yuntai Academy! With their talent, they won't fail to get into the exam, right?"

"They won't go!" Liu Kui sneered, "I've gone, but there is no official position. After all, the Xianxue School is still Jing Gong's new school. It's just..."

He wanted to speak but stopped, Zeng Bu frowned and said impatiently: "Highway, just say it if you have something to do! This is not a court, but there is no censor who impeaches you for your mistake."

"But these students who believed in empirical arguments would become officials in the court after they entered the court, and they might regard the knowledge of Su Dongpo and Wu Haogu as exaggerated..."

A "bang" sound interrupted Liu Kui's words. Si Ye from the Imperial College took a look at Zeng Bu and found that Zeng Xianggong's face was ashen and almost turned black.

...

"Wu Chongdao really said that?"

No matter when and when, Cheng Yi was in front of him, he sat upright and looked solemn, and he looked like a scholar who was well-educated. Not to mention Wu Haogu's "evil Confucianism", even Wu Haogu's teacher Su Dongpo could not compare with him.

His two students, Yang Shi and You Zuo, who are famous for Cheng Men Lixue, also sat straight and arrogantly, full of a mighty spirit.

Hou Zhongliang, who had been with Cheng Yi, was just sighing at this moment, with a expression of regret on his face, as if he was tampering with the "Four Sentences of Hengqu" and it was a pity.

Yang Shi, who had worked as a county magistrate for several years, looked at Hou Zhongliang and said, "Sage Master, you are close to Wu Haogu. Why do you tell me if that person is loyal, traitor, or evil?"

Yang Shi was the magistrate of the county, Ren Man, who returned to Beijing to guard the election, waiting for a new appointment. You Zuo had just received the appointment of the magistrate and prefecture and was preparing to leave Beijing. He had served as the censor in the court for a period of time. Although he was a figure in the old party front and had never had any conflicts with Wu Haogu, he still disliked Wu Haogu's style. So he snorted coldly: "Wu Haogu is a flatterer, and there is no doubt that the unscrupulous villain!"

"Since he is a villain, how can he be called a great scholar?" Yang Shi asked.

Hou Zhongliang sighed and said, "His name is from knowledge... others are young, but knowledge is also true! Brother Jerry, do you dare to say that "The Examination of Practical Proof of Taoism" has no reason?"

“…”

Yang Shi also knew that Wu Haogu's "A Trial of Practical Proof of Taoism" made sense!

But the truth of Wu Haogu has hit the pain of Guanluo's Neo-Confucianism! If Wu Haogu had been born for decades and was not a businessman full of stinky gold, Yang Shi might have gone to Wu Haogu's house to "stand snow".

If Wu Haogu was not a businessman, but like his younger brother, he was a hero who called outside Donghua Gate, Yang Shi might have admitted that the other party had found a way to see the great way.

But Wu Haogu is a businessman, and he is also a lucky villain... His personal morality is a big loss!

How can such a person be considered authentic Confucianism? Confucianism not only has the meaning of asking the truth, but also has the ethical principles! If a merchant who was the last of the people (in fact, Wu Haogu has always been a gentry) was respected as a great Confucian, the order of the world must not be reversed?

Cheng Yi sighed softly at this time: "Although this man's Tao is different from mine, he has indeed seen the path. If he had been able to be one of the seventy-two sages earlier, the famous sects had long been spread beyond the world, and the world would have been peaceful. But he had been delayed by more than a thousand years later..."

This comment made the visiting scholars shocked him to the feeling of being a great scholar who could discuss Taoism with Confucius! He was a figure who could be ranked among the seventy-two sages!

"Teacher..." Yang Shi looked at his mentor, just as he didn't know what to say, Cheng Yi showed a strange smile: "Teacher Saint, after the New Year, you can go to the Jiehe River and invite Wu Haogu to Beijing to discuss the Tao!"

"Discuss the Tao?" Yang Shi was stunned, "Teacher, do you want to discuss the Tao with Wu Haogu?"

Who is Cheng Yi? A great scholar who has been famous for a long time! A master and a master, he discussed the truth with Wu Haogu, and it was proposed by him... This identity is not a bit lost!

Cheng Yi smiled: "What's wrong with the prince tribute?

By the way, Master Sheng, please log out the news about the Tao in the "Wenquxing Xunbao"!"

"Click out?" Hou Zhongliang was stunned and stunned, "Teacher is going to..."

Cheng Yi said coldly: "When Guan Luo's study and Su Wu's study, Jing Gong's new study cannot be avoided? As long as they come out, they will lose!"

I see!

Several disciples of Cheng's sect finally understood that it is not possible to discuss Guan Luo's Neo-Confucianism with Jing Gong's new learning. It is not only because they have great power in their hands, but they really cannot discuss it.

Neo-Confucianism is a perfect way, while new learning focuses on the practical application of the world. When discussing the Tao on both sides is to talk about the same thing as the duck. What a nonsense!

The empirical school is a common practice, ethics, politics, and the great way. Although Neo-Confucianism and their discussion of Tao cannot gain the upper hand, they will not lose the law of nature and cannot prove it. If they cannot prove it, they will have no right or wrong. Although the result of the discussion of Tao will greatly enhance the status of the empirical school and will also establish the status of Wu Haogu as a scholar. However, as long as new learning participates, the collapse of new learning must be the new learning!

Because of the "comprehensive and practical application of the classics" of the New Party, how can it be compared with the empirical test of the empirical faction? The two are incomparable! One is a tool for seeking the great way, and the other is just dogmatic improvement.

And the new learning and the new party are one! If the new learning collapses, how long will the new party last? Then the truth is in the empirical faction, and in the Guanluo Neo-Confucianism, the new party has only fallacies in its hands, so how can we survive?

My mentor is tall!

...

"You... are you really Yelu Dashi?"

At the same time, Wu Haogu, who was about to leave Jiehe Market and braved the wind and snow to go south to Haizhou to celebrate New Year's Eve with Pan Qiaolian, finally realized that he had received a super awesome disciple Yelu Dashi!

The one who beat Tong Guan’s army of more than 100,000 in the Northern Expedition of Xuanhe was beaten by only a few thousand people. Later, he captured the remnants of the Liao Kingdom in a desperate situation, and Yelu Dashi, who expeditioned western Asia and established the huge Western Liao Empire, has now been admitted to the doctoral degree at the Jiehe Branch of Yuntai Academy!

"The student is Yelu Dashi, please ask the head of state to be worshipped by the student."

The young man Dashitou was the first in his total score to be admitted to the first PhD department of the Yuntai Academy Jiehe Branch with the first overall score.

If... without if, Dashitou would definitely graduate from the academy with high scores, and then join the Renyi Doctorate and become a Renyi Doctorate who fights for preaching and defending the way!

"Okay!" Wu Haogu looked at the heroic big stone, and liked it the more he looked at it, and nodded, "You are the number one in this class! No matter whether you are literary or martial arts, you are the best, you will be my best student!"

As he said that, Wu Haogu untied his sword and handed it to Yelu Dashi, "Dashi, this is my sword, I'm giving it to you now. I hope you can use this sword to kill the demons and protect the way and promote my true Confucianism!"

Yelu Dashi didn't expect that Wu Haogu would give him the sword. He was stunned for a moment, but he took the sword with both hands.

"Students will live up to the expectations of the head of state..."
Chapter completed!
