When discussing the truth, are you going to turn to criticism and confrontation?

When Wu Haogu heard Cheng Yi’s question, he knew that the two old men, Cheng Yi and Su Dongpo, were coming...

"People's words may not be enough to care about, and ancestors may not be able to do the law." Su Dongpo was prepared and replied with a smile, "How can one not prove the right and wrong, just listen to people's words without proof? As for the ancestor's laws, one must be cautious when changing them. After all, there must be something feasible after many years of practice. If you want to replace them with a new law, you must not assume, verify, and constantly correct them. If you act blindly, it is better not to change!"

"Su Dongpo, are you talking about the law of the late emperor?" Liu Kui, the Imperial College Supervisor, suddenly asked a stern question, interrupting Su Dongpo who was opening his mouth.

Su Dongpo snorted: "If you can't even discuss this law, how can you become better? If you can't argue, you can't prove it. If you can't prove it, you can't know its advantages and disadvantages. If you don't know its advantages and disadvantages, you will change it blindly, and this method... How can you become better and better?

Reform is a matter of seeking and advancing from top to bottom. After so many years of practice, the laws and regulations of ancestors are no longer suitable. As a junior minister, can you really find new laws from the knowledge of the scriptures regardless of whether you do not realize it?"

Great! Finally got the handle! Su Dongpo is slandering the new law and new policy... To put it bluntly, it is slandering the lord!

Zhou Chang, who was present, was so happy!

However, Lu Dian, who came here to listen, frowned. Su Dongpo was indeed attacking reforms, but he used empirical theories to make the attack very powerful and difficult to refute.

In addition, Su Dongpo now has villains to help, and it is not easy to criticize others. The villain is rich, and this villain is still quick to make money without additional taxes, and the government is particularly good at spending money!

Just as Lu Dian was thinking about how to find ironclad evidence to defeat Su Dongpo, Cheng Yi spoke again: "Zizhan, today we are talking about the great way rather than the ethical laws, so there is no need to talk too much about the gains and losses of the reform. If you really want to discuss it, it is better to wait until your and my great way is finished, and then ask Zhong Xiu, highway and the farmer to discuss it together."

Su Dongpo: "That's what you mean!"

Is this a letter of war?

When Lu Dian heard Cheng Yi pointing his name, he snorted coldly: "Is my attitude towards the new law? Don't look for me if I want to discuss the new law. If I want to discuss the new law, I can accompany me."

"Okay," Su Dongpo replied with a smile, "Then we will discuss the great way today, and we will discuss the new study when we have time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"A word is determined!" Lu Dian didn't want to discuss it, but Cheng Yi and Su Dongpo publicly issued a letter of war. As the new leader of Wang Anshi, how could he be a turtle with a head-shrinking turtle?

Cheng Yi smiled: "Then, I am like Mr. Dongpo and Wu Chongdao asking for advice on the way of heaven."

Ask the way of heaven!

The audience sitting below, including Bai Siwen, a Confucian scholar in the Great Food, and the Kurong Monk of the Dali Kingdom, as well as Zhao Ji, Gao Qiu and Cai You who were sitting outside a side door of the hall to listen to the lectures.

The great way of Confucianism has always been imperfect, so after it has developed to a certain extent, it has encountered a bottleneck and was exploited by Buddhism and Taoism.

Wu Haogu explained: "The way of heaven is nature. The way of nature is combined into one, which is the way of heaven! This way of heaven has not yet been proven, so it is a hypothesis that is credible. This way of heaven is credible, can be sought, can be known.

Only by believing in the way of heaven can one seek the way of heaven, and only by seeking the way of heaven can one know the way of heaven. However, the way of heaven is difficult to know and difficult to find, and you should not imagine reaching the sky in one step.

Therefore, the method of seeking the way of heaven must start from the small things. First, seek thousands of paths, then from the small to the big things, gather to see the great way, and realize the great way.

As for the method of seeking the Tao, we can only propose a credible hypothesis first and then verify it.

The empirical is that facts must come from what is seen, felt, tested, and tried. Although humans are the genius of all things, they are not born to know everything. They must obtain knowledge through learning, exploration, perception, and verification. At the same time, inferring knowledge that has not yet been empirized in this process is a credible hypothesis. When the knowledge of hypothesis is repeatedly verified and the laws are summarized, it is the knowledge that people have mastered, that is, Tao.

When people master thousands of Taos, the avenue we assume can be verified..."

Wu Haogu talked endlessly about his own way of heaven and evidence. In the entire hall, everyone was listening with their ears on their backs. No matter how these people thought of Wu Haogu before, they had to admit that the theory proposed by Wu Haogu was very perfect. At least they couldn't find the loophole?

Of course, not finding a loophole does not mean that everyone can accept this theory.

Because of Wu Haogu's theory, all the gods and immortals directly turned into hypotheses! The hypothesis can be verified or false, which is a bit angering to the public.

Bai Siwen, a Confucian scholar in the Great Food Kingdom, naturally frowned. Although he was not a religious expert of the Tianfang Sect, he understood Confucianism and knew that Confucianism had avoided the great way in the past. If he avoided the great way, he would not conflict with the great way of the Tianfang Sect, and he could even accept the great way of the Tianfang Sect with an open mind.

But now... Once the theory of the Great Dao proposed by Wu Haogu becomes the orthodox Confucianism, then Confucianism will change from avoiding the Great Dao to a school that verifies the Great Dao!

And can this truth path... be verified?

Fortunately, Wu Haogu is on the side of the Song Dynasty. If he goes to the West, it will trigger a religious war!

The monk Kurong, who was sitting next to Bai Siwen, frowned even tighter, and his chubby, old face that was not bitter at all twisted into a ball.

The Dali Kingdom believed in Confucianism and emphasized Buddhism's mind. In fact, it was not only the Dali Kingdom, but also the Dalia Kingdom, Goryeo Kingdom, and Annan Kingdom now all had this route. Even in the Song Dynasty, some people proposed the division of labor and cooperation method of "governing the country with Confucianism, governing the body with Taoism, and governing the mind with Buddhism."

The "hypothesis of the way of heaven" proposed by Wu Haogu, "believe in the way of heaven" and "empirical pursuit of the way of heaven" combined, can both govern the country and the heart. The most hateful thing is that it can also be used to test the truth of others... and still be unreasonable?

Song Huizong Zhao Ji smiled and listened to the ancient principles of Wu Haoqiu, but did not decide anything wrong. He believed in Taoism, and Taoism could prove it! He became immortal, ascended in the sun, refined elixirs to seek immortality, and fortune-telling and character-calling to see faces. Isn’t this all proof of Taoism?

If nothing works, isn’t it just a fool? Those teachings who do not know how to seek immortality, alchemy, and fortune-telling are fakes!

The new theorist Lu Dian was so angry that he was almost out of breath at this time, his face turned blue and white. He was a scholar, but he still didn't understand it?

This discussion is not about the right or wrong, but about discussing how to join forces together!

The natural essence and vitality system of Guan Luo's learning can be completely integrated with Su Dongpo and Wu Haogu's empirical hypothesis system!

The law of nature is a credible hypothesis! It can be slowly tested by empirical evidence...

Not to mention whether Su Dongpo, Cheng Yi, and Wu Haogu, the traitor villain, can finally refute the newly learned "proficient and applied to the classics"? This complete system of hypothesis of the natural law has established the position of Confucian masters.

...

"You guys are fooled!"

In the evening, Zeng Bu, who already knew the arguments discussed in the Imperial College in Baitian, became complaining when he saw Lu Dian visiting him.

"Zi Xuan, I'm pointing at my nose and writing a letter of war. Can I avoid fighting?"

Lu Dian sat down and said, "If you don't fight, wouldn't it be a joke for all the people in the world?"

"Tao Shan is right!" Liu Kui also said, "Wu Haogu and Cheng Yi's set of things are OK to govern the heart, but not the country."

Zhou Chang nodded and said, "Wu Haogu is too young. Even if he has the resources of heaven and man and has realized the way of realization, he will never be able to master the classics of hundreds of schools, so he must not be able to say ours."

Wu Haogu must have realized the truth!

However, enlightenment and enlightenment are not the same concept. Sakyamuni became a monk at the age of 29 and realized the truth under the Bodhi tree at the age of 35. Jesus Christ was only 26 years old when he was crucified. Although Muhammad was 40 years old when he saw the angel Gabriel, he had never entered school and was ignorant. Then it is not surprising that Wu Haogu, who was 25 years old, realized the truth of realization.

However, Wu Haogu could not have read the sutras of various schools of thought. If he had not read them thoroughly, how could he refute the use of the sutras?

"Wu Hao is naturally not familiar with the classics of hundreds of schools, but Su Dongpo and Cheng Yi are studying the gods!" Zeng Bu looked at the people in front of him, "If Wang Jinggong was there, I would not be worried, but now..."

"Zi Xuan," Lu Dian shook his head and said firmly, "Although Su Dongpo and Cheng Yi have high knowledge, I am not afraid of them. Because the truth is on our side after all!"

Zeng Buxin said: The reason should be on our side! But now they have a very powerful way of reasoning. If they really want to discuss it, they may not be able to win!

However, it is not possible to avoid it regardless of whether it is certain. If you shrink back, you will become ignorant in the future.

"Okay," Zeng Bu nodded, "You guys go back and rest for a night, and then have a good discussion with them!"

...

"Teacher, what do you think?"

"What do you think? Of course, I have to criticize the new school as a pseudo-study!"

"That's not it……"

"Which one is that?"

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

"Dalang, you are a great scholar now. Can you stop talking about this?"

In the Lihua Villa, Wu Haogu heard Su Dongpo's words and only sighed in his heart. Isn't it just flattery? Isn't it just flattery? Isn't it just to be a villain? What's there... I don't know who will write history in the future! What do you care about this mean? What's important now is power. Only by holding power can you use the hypothesis of the law of nature and positivism to save the country and nation.

Otherwise, in the future, the barbarian Tututemuer wrote "History of the Song Dynasty", so we don't want him to say good things!
Chapter completed!
