What? A Confucian scholarship was also opened?

Is this going to split Confucianism?

No, Confucianism is not unified!

Confucianism is not a country, it has always been full of schools and each has one to say. There is no such thing as Confucianism in the world following the orders of one person!

Once there are two or more sacred courts in Confucianism, the sacredness of the court will be greatly reduced.

If the zong court is no longer sacred, then Zhao Kai's reputation will be reduced by half.

Zhao Huan and the several great scholars in Chongzheng Hall were all lit up, and they looked at Li Dong, who was a little dull.

However, Li Tong did not propose to establish a new Ru court in order to ruin Zhao Kai. In history, he went home to the local master after he finished his studies and closed down to do research. He stayed at home for more than 40 years, but never thought about becoming a high-ranking official.

He is a pure Confucian scholar.

The reason why he proposed to establish a new Confucian court was actually because he believed that the Confucianism route chosen by Zhao Kai was too one-sided, too cumbersome, and too high-end, and might not be able to directly point to the great road, and it seemed difficult to educate people's hearts.

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Tong said eruditely: "From General Tiance's actions, he is mostly a disciple of Mr. Yichuan. Therefore, he emphasized that studying things leads to knowledge and all things have reason, and believed that as long as you explore everything in depth, you can get the principles in it. If you can get the principles of all things, you can get the great way.

Moreover, General Tiance and Mr. Pengju of Wei also summarized some methods of investigating things and exploring the principles together, which shows that they are both masters under Yichuan's sect."

Well, he also regarded Yue Fei as a member of Yichuan. He was a great scholar of Neo-Confucianism, but Yue Fei, who had obtained some methods of investigating things through studying artillery, was indeed very helpful to Mr. Yichuan Cheng Yi's study. It is not wrong to say that he was a great scholar of Neo-Confucianism.

So he made this Yuezi!

In fact, Mr. Yichuan, Cheng Yi and later Zhu Xi, the core of their knowledge was not to "preserve the principles of heaven and eliminate human desires", but to "preserve the principles of heaven".

Destroying human desires is only one of the means to preserve the laws of nature.

To preserve the laws of nature, we must first understand the laws of nature. To understand the laws of nature, we must study matters and explore the principles of nature, that is, we must learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well! To learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, we must appropriately eliminate some human desires.

So to put it simply, "preserving the principles of nature and eliminating human desires" is to teach children to study hard, learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and get into Peking University and Tsinghua University. This is called preserving the principles of nature!

In order to study hard, you have to play less games, not watch oriental action movies, and don’t spend your time on early love, eating, drinking and having fun. This is called eliminating human desires!

If you go a little further, if you, a great scientist, want to do scientific research to study the principles of tomorrow, you must appropriately eliminate some human desires because many projects of the principles of tomorrow are not very profitable! How can you satisfy the endless desires of people without money?

If you only have "human desires" in your heart, then you can't calm down and make big money when you make tomorrow. Make money quickly to satisfy your human desires! And is human desires an end?

It seems that there is no one, and there is no too much money. If you cannot destroy a little properly, in the end, you will only have human desires and no laws of nature, and it may even harm the laws of nature!

However, the "preserving the laws of nature and destroying human desires" in Neo-Confucianism has a big flaw, which is that it will not preserve the laws of nature and only destroy human desires!

This won’t work!

This means that the head of a family only knows how to control the children's playful desires, but does not allow him to go to school, no matter how illiterate he is, he will not be able to get into Peking University and Tsinghua University!

However, this Neo-Confucianism has been investigating objects for hundreds of years, and even no hair is included, which means that they cannot investigate objects at all!

If you can't investigate things, you will only destroy people and want to pretend to be a moral gentleman, and not only pretend to be yourself, but also force others to pretend, which is annoying.

Moreover, destroying human desires is just a means to preserve the laws of nature, and investigating things and the principles of nature of tomorrow is not everyone. This is the responsibility of a few elites, and most people are not that smart.

At the same time, most people do not affect the great human desires that exist in the laws of nature. Only the exploiting class has many human desires. It is good for the working people to fill their stomachs. How can so many human desires be destroyed?

Therefore, it will not exist in the laws of nature, and at the same time it will expand and absolutely transform the desire to destroy humans, which will be quite reactionary!

Inspired by Zhao Kai, Yue Fei not only succeeded in the criterion, but also summarized the "simple induction method" and "hypothetical deduction method".

These two methods, coupled with the "empirical research method" proposed by Zhao Kai, have some theoretical tools for studying things and understanding the truth.

In other words, Neo-Confucianism now knows a little bit of investigation. Although it only knows a little bit, it has already begun.

And it is inevitable that Neo-Confucianism, which entered the door to investigate things, has a great prosperity!

However, Neo-Confucianism, which has embarked on the path of investigating things and exploring the principles, has shown signs of "high-end" and "elite".

After all, the matter of gewu is high-end and niche, not for most people!

Although Zhao Kai realized that Confucianism had a problem of being "separated from the masses", he also wanted to expand the foundation of Confucianism through the methods of "running a large school" and "ritual to the poor".

However, due to the high end of the Neo-Confucianism route and the need to take care of the Fubing Group to consolidate its own rule, Zhao Kai's "big school" was mainly to run schools for the children of Fubing Group. The real purpose of cultivating military elites for colonial wars, and to avoid the corruption and degeneration of the Fubing Group.

The "Lixia Poor" is attached to running schools, so it will inevitably evolve into the Lixia Mansion Army.

If such a route continues to be implemented, there may be two million people who have received a good education in twenty or thirty years (relative to the Middle Ages), who have the spirit of Neo-Confucianism and strong body.

Although it is very powerful, it is enough to maintain Zhao Kai's dynasty, and may be able to continue to export force to the outside world and slowly transform society.

But how many people are there in the Song Dynasty? What is the proportion of two million people?

Li Tong himself is the second disciple of the second Cheng. He is not only proficient in Mr. Yin Chuan's knowledge, but also knows Mr. Mingdao's knowledge. Of course, he also knows the pros and cons of the two Mr. Cheng's knowledge?

Although the two Cheng brothers were regarded as masters of Neo-Confucianism, their knowledge was actually two routes. The younger brother, Mr. Yin Chuan, Cheng Yi, is a "mathematics, physics and chemistry" Neo-Confucianism, while the older brother, Mr. Mingdao, Cheng Hao, whose knowledge focuses on the original mind, believes that all things are one. As long as the original mind is cultivated and consciously achieve oneness with all things, they can realize the principles of heaven and preserve the principles of heaven. Therefore, they do not pay much attention to external knowledge, that is, they do not pay attention to studying things and obtaining knowledge.

Li Tong was originally a disciple of Yang Shi, and Yang Shi was Cheng Yi's disciple, so he naturally tended to study things and gain knowledge.

However, after attending the first Confucian Congress, he had discovered the disadvantages of Neo-Confucianism.

Li Tong said jokingly: "Although General Tiance has studied the heavens and man, he has found a way to study things and gain knowledge, and he still wants to educate the world with this Tao. However, the way to study things is very difficult. I have been studying things for more than ten years, but I have never exhausted all the principles, which shows that it is difficult! How many principles of all things are? How can it be exhausted one by one?

And Mr. Mingdao was precisely because he knew the difficulty of investigating things that he focused on the original mind and ignored external knowledge. If the original mind could be one with all things, he would naturally be able to understand the truth and keep the truth. Cultivating the mind is the way for the world to understand the truth and keep the truth!"

This is probably the route of learning the mind! It emphasizes the inner sainting. In the words of the later master of learning the mind, Lu Jiuyuan, it was a "simple skill". No matter what, it is simpler than exhausting the principles of everything, right?

There are many great scholars who have become saints in their hearts in later generations, and it is still difficult to say whether there are any aliens who have exhausted the principles of all things.

Moreover, it is difficult to prove that the inner sainthood is difficult to prove. Only you know whether you are "holy or not". How can others understand it?

And it is easy to falsify the truth of everything by exhausting all things. Set up a power station with controllable nuclear fusion to get a light bulb, and build a light-speed spacecraft to deliver a courier.

If we really want to rely on Confucianism on the road of religion, cultivating our minds will definitely be better than investigating things.

"Mr. Yanping's meaning is to focus on Mr. Mingdao's knowledge and create a Confucian Southern School?" Li Qingzhao already understood what Li Tong meant, but she herself was actually a person on the "Neo-Confucianism Route", so she was somewhat resistant.

Li Tong nodded and said, "General Tiance wanted to promote Confucianism to educate the world, but he chose a high-quality and poor study of things to achieve knowledge, and he would definitely not succeed. If Mr. Mingdao's knowledge can be carried forward, it is the method that can truly educate billions of people!"

"Mr. Yanping's Mingdao Sect?" Li Qingzhao was a little puzzled. As far as she knew, Li Tong was still very serious about investigating things.

Li Tong smiled and said, "The lay Buddhists of Yi'an are different. The two gentlemen's knowledge and paths are the same, and they are not tit-for-tat. Here we can study things and learn knowledge, and practice the original mind."

This method is better if the investigation fails, there is also a way to become a sanctified in your heart.

He paused and said, "But for the people in the world, the path to becoming a saint is only a disciple of the original mind of practice, and it is impossible to study things and gain knowledge."

This statement is definitely correct!

"Yes, yes!" Geng Nanzhong patted his thigh and said with a smile, "General Tiance doesn't even understand this principle, and he dares to call himself Confucianism. It's really a big laugh! Officials, why don't you hold a Confucian meeting in the name of King Wu, point out the fallacy of General Tiance, and then announce the way to cultivate the mind and become a saint. In this way, General Tiance will find it difficult to steal the name of the Confucian master!"

Lu Benzhong also said: "What Geng Xianggong said was right for General Tiance's idea of ​​using Confucianism to command Confucianism and to educate the people with Confucianism, but his approach was wrong. This is your opportunity for the official!"

Shao Pu nodded repeatedly, "Officials, now you just need to call for a high school, hold a Confucian Party Conference, and propose to cultivate your mind and become a saint. You are a great scholar who has been famous in history!"

A great scholar is even bigger than a great scholar!

Of course Zhao Huan was moved, so he nodded and said, "Well, I am also proficient in knowledge! Now let the people of the world see my knowledge. I want to gather the great scholars of the world. Two months later, no, in one month, we will gather in Jiangdu to discuss the revitalization of Confucianism and discuss the joint construction of Confucianism!"

Jiangdu? Why is Jiangdu?
Chapter completed!
