"Discuss the Tao? You said Mr. Yichuan wanted to find Wu Haogu, a lucky villain, to discuss the Tao?"

"Fortunately, I am close to the villain? Can the Confucian who can discuss the truth with Mr. Yichuan be said to be a villain?"

"Maybe it's just Wu Haogu's wishful thinking?"

"Why is Wu Haogu's wishful thinking? It was clearly Mr. Yichuan who proposed the argument..."

"Mr. Yichuan proposed to discuss it? How is this possible? He is too self-deprecating, right?"

"You can't say that, how could the Dao say that he has value before?"

"That's right, but there are still some...is this news accurate?"

"Why is it not accurate to have a birth? It was Mr. Shi Sheng who wrote an article in Wenquxing Xunbao, mentioning this matter. Now Mr. Shi Sheng has set out to visit Jiehe Shangcheng..."

"Really?"

"The newspaper is here, you can read it yourself..."

Just as Wu Haogu said goodbye to Ximen Qing, who had just been pregnant, left Jiehe Market and embarked on his way to Haizhou, the news that Cheng Yi was about to discuss the truth with Wu Haogu had already spread in Kaifeng Prefecture.

This incident is really shocking. Although Wu Haogu's "A Trial of Practical Proof of Tao" was widely spread in Kaifeng Prefecture, many Confucian scholars thought it was very reasonable. However, Wu Haogu and Cheng Yi were not the same level of Confucian Confucians. If Wu Haogu asked Cheng Yi for advice, then everyone still thought it was normal... But when discussing Tao, it was a level of great Confucians. If Wu Haogu could discuss Taoism with Cheng Yi, wouldn't it be that practicing Taoism can really be compared with the theory of heaven?

"Zixuan, have you heard that Cheng Yi is going to discuss Taoism with Wu Haogu?"

In the Political Affairs Hall, the Chongzheng Hall asked questions and dealt with not too many government affairs. As soon as the priests who were idle, Han Zhongyan held a bowl of tea and talked to Zeng Bu about the matter of "Cheng Wu's discussion of Taoism". Although he was not a great scholar, he was also a hero who sang the name outside Donghua Gate. Of course, he knew what this discussion of Taoism meant to the current Confucian school?

Moreover, he also knew how embarrassing the position of the New Party and New Learners in this discussion.

It can be said that Cheng Yi proposed the argument that all the empirical faction of Wu Haogu, the new party and the new learning were put on the fire. These two great scholars finally did a good thing that benefited the country and the people.

In fact, from Wu Haogu's original intention, he didn't want to be so proud of his tail. After all, Dashitou and others are still small now... the Doctoral Order has not grown, and Jiehe Market is not so huge that it cannot be shaken. Wu Haogu is still quite lonely. If in more than ten or twenty years, when Dashitou and others have grown up, Wu Haogu will not be afraid of discussing with anyone.

"Guan Luo's learning is a pseudo-learning! What's the point of discussing?" The person who spoke for Zeng Bu was actually Lu Dian, who recommended by Han Zhongyan himself, who was not a new party, but a soul of the new school! Naturally, he could understand that Han Zhongyan was making trouble.

Now Luo Xue reduces his value to discuss Taoism with Wu Haogu, it depends on whether you follow the new learning or not. If you follow the new learning, people will be obscene. If you follow the new learning, you may be criticized by Wu Haogu and you will have no place to gain a foothold.

In fact, the "Big Way" of the new learning is also missing. It is a route of integrating Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. It cannot compile a Neo-Confucianism like the second Chengs. How can we discuss the Tao with positivism? Neo-Confucianism can also say that it has fulfilled Confucius' questions, but it cannot be false. What is the new teaching? Do you use Buddhist scriptures to combine the ancient theory of Wu Hao? So there is no discussion in this area.

As for the political line of Xinxue, everyone knows how the effect is... Anyway, there is no way Wu Haogu makes money, and the people are the real people who don’t add taxes and have a lot of money. The new line of Xinxue is to establish a name and plunder people’s wealth, but it doesn’t require the name of adding taxes. Wu Haogu’s way of making money has been repeatedly tested by practice!

Han Zhongyan was criticized by Lu Dian, and looked at him with some anger. His deputy prime minister was recommended by him. Why did he squat in the same pit as Zeng Bu? By the way, Wang Anshi's new learning seemed to be made by him, Wang Rong, Chen Ping, Gong Yuan and others!

"Yes!" Li Qingchen also said, "Guan Luo Neo-Confucianism is a pseudo-school, and Su and Shu studies are just making up random things, so everything should be banned!"

Li Qingchen and Sumen and Shuxue were rivals, Su Dongpo and his disciples, who were able to attract hatred one by one, so there were many enemies. Wu Haogu now obviously got Su Dongpo's true teachings in this regard. He had become the target of public criticism in less than a year after he became a disciple. I really don't know what to do in the future? Maybe the only way to let a doctor like Dashitou convince people with reason...

"Neo-Confucianism may be fake, but empirical studies are probably not fake studies, right?" Han Zhongyan picked up the tea soup, took a sip, and then said lightly, "The textbooks for many subjects taught by the Yuntai Academy are compiled by Zhao Xiaoyi!"

It is not unreasonable for Cheng Yi to criticize and fight. He replaced the Confucian concept of "nature law" with the Confucian "question of the Tao". Although it also gave an answer, it changed the core idea of ​​Confucianism after all, and it was indeed a bit pseudo-study.

In contrast, Wu Haogu gave a tool to seek the Tao, how can it be said to be pseudo-learning?

Moreover, Zhao Xiaoyi is likely to have participated in the study of positivism. Can Zhao Xiaoyi's knowledge be pseudo-education? Li Qingchen, don't you want to be an official?

Li Qingchen's face turned pale. He and a few Su Jun disciples (actually not including Wu Haogu) had a deep resentment. If the empirical learning from Su Jun became a prominent scholar, then the second Su might have to Xuanma. Can he have good results?

However, it seems a bit dangerous to ban Su Xue. Now Su Xue has combined with Zhao Ji through Wu Haogu's empirical natural method. Zhao Xiaoyi participated in many textbooks in Yuntai Academy. Who dares to propose banning? The literary inquisition is not seeking death if it hits the emperor!

Wu Haogu is really too treacherous! Why are the younger generation of treacherous people becoming so treacherous?

...

"We must not let them discuss the truth!"

"Zi Xuan, the matter of discussing Taoism does not require approval from the court."

"But let them talk about it, what should we do? Follow or not?"

"Can't follow! That's the trap of Wu Haogu's treacherous man..."

"Yes! If you follow, wouldn't you put empirical falsification in a comparable position as Jing Gong's new learning?"

"Taoshan, you are a scholar. What do you think?"

Deep in Zeng Bu's prime minister's mansion, there was a secluded flower hall. It was brightly lit at night, and it was filled with big-name figures from the New Party and New School. Since Wang Anshi passed away, the New Party and New School have actually been divided, and the various hills often have a fight. It is a bit of an unprecedented success for everyone to gather together like today.

The reason why they gathered tonight was that the new learning of the new party's ruling foundation is being shaken.

The new party is actually a clique with a theoretical foundation, and this foundation is a new learning that emphasizes "integration of hundreds of schools" and "interpretation of the classics and application". Once the new learning collapses, it will be difficult for the new party with the new learning as its guiding ideology to survive.

So today, the New Party and New School bosses in Beijing have put aside all the grievances of the past and have all gone to Zeng Bu's house to discuss countermeasures.

"Taoshan" is Lu Dian's name. He frowned and seemed to be thinking hard: "It is difficult to refute the theory of seeking Tao. The sages seeking Tao are known to everyone in the world. For more than a thousand years, I have no way to give up Tao. Buddhism has flourished, and the methods of Buddhism, Tao, and Confucianism are also because there is no way to seek Tao. Now Wu Haogu has given the door to seeking Tao. How can our Confucian scholars turn a blind eye?"

"Hmph!" Li Qingchen snorted coldly, "Is it possible to give up the status of explanatory learning to empirical learning?"

"No," Lu Dian shook his head, "The country is not so good. When my Confucianism used to seek Taoism, it was different from the world's teachings? This is not about the great way, but about peace!"

To achieve peace is to assist the king in governing the country and educating the people, and it is also the reason why Confucianism became a prominent scholar. Before the great rise of Neo-Confucianism, Confucian scholars often avoided this issue because they had no way to do so. However, monks and Taoists did not let monks or Taoists take charge in the courts of the Central Plains dynasty.

Even in the current Song Dynasty, the right to interpret the "Big Dao" still belongs to Taoism, especially Taoism, who received the care of the Zhao Song Dynasty and became the national religion. But aren't Taoists firmly suppressing Confucian scholars?

Lu Dian continued: "We are a Confucian scholar who strives to be practical in the world, and do not have to pursue the great way of nothingness, nor do we need to spend too much energy on the path of everything."

"Taoshan means, we won't participate?" Zeng Bu asked with a frown.

"No." Lu Dian touched his beard and smiled, "It's not that he doesn't participate, but that he wants to preside over this discussion!"

"Host?" Zeng Bu was stunned, "Who will host?"

"Of course it's the Imperial College!" Lu Dian Zhen said authentically, "The great way the sages sought is a question for later Confucian scholars. No one has solved it in previous dynasties. Now, the great Confucian scholars who can solve this problem are a proof of the prosperity of our dynasty's cultural governance? Isn't it the achievement of the new laws practiced since Xining?

Zixuan, we should submit a memorial to the official family, and the Imperial College is responsible for presiding over the discussion on the great Confucianism. If the discussion is done well, a system can be formed, and the discussion will be held every three years, or it can be held after the imperial examination competition. This is also a matter of great prosperity for the Confucianism! If possible, we can also let all the people of the left and right. We are only above and we will discuss the right and wrong."

Lu You's grandfather's theoretical level is very high! He grasped the key to the problem and could not end up with the empirical study. Guan Luo's theory of theory should be presided over the discussion of theory.

Once the new school presides over the discussion of Tao, whatever, what is truth, what is fallacy, then the new school has to settle for it.

At that time, let the empirical school and Guanluo Neo-Confucianism discuss the Great Way of Heaven, and even let the monk, Taoist priest, imam and pastor choose people to discuss together. It would be a referee for the new party and new learning. How great is it!
