Chapter 583 A Hundred Schools of Thought Contention (2)
Emperor Su He looked at everyone who was extremely nervous.
He listened to Li Siyuan of Confucianism and Mencius, and was still talking on the stage.
This man also has some level of proficiency, and his ideological system is extremely self-consistent.
It's not the kind of nonsense that you can ignore at all.
What Li Siyuan said is correct to a certain extent if you read it carefully.
He has a certain level of skill, coupled with his treacherous words, this attracted everyone's attention.
Emperor Su He looked at the performance of the older princes.
The third prince, Su Meng, clenched his small fist and looked at Li Siyuan with wide eyes.
He had an angry look on his face and a bulging look that made people laugh.
The second prince Su Lei rubbed his nose with his hand and was thinking about Li Siyuan's theory.
The eldest prince Su Shu basically ignored Li Siyuan. He and his sister Su Rong were chatting.
The reactions of the people around him were all visible to Emperor Su He.
He heard Qu Xiangyang's words and saw Li Zhisheng and Yu Wenhe approaching him.
Emperor Su He waved his hands and said: "I allow various schools of thought to participate in the Congress of Contention of One Hundred Schools of Thought, so that different ideas can be accommodated.
Now that this person is on stage, let him finish speaking according to the procedure."
Emperor Su He is very enlightened. He knows that the monarchy system in the Great China Empire will not be affected by any impact at all.
Wait until the day when Confucianism and Mencius' school may really rise.
The situation must have changed dramatically at that time.
The existence of the Confucian and Mencius schools is also beneficial to future generations.
Qu Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Emperor Su He's instructions.
If Emperor Su He does not pursue this matter, he does not need to bear responsibility.
Li Zhisheng and Yu Wenhe have already arrived at the side of Emperor Su He.
They looked at each other, with a look of joy in their eyes.
Emperor Su He was very generous and never punished for his words.
They, other schools of Confucianism, do not have to bear the wrath of Emperor Su He.
Yu Wenhe prayed in his heart that Li Siyuan would not continue to say treacherous words.
When he heard Li Siyuan expounding the concept of "the emperor is at his ease" and what he said next, his expression suddenly changed.
His face was swollen red, and big beads of sweat were constantly flowing down his cheeks.
"Throughout all dynasties and generations, there are very few wise emperors, and the majority are mediocre emperors.
Each dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, and he was inseparable from the emergence of the faint king.
Whether the emperor is good or not determines the fate of a country. This is not the best choice for the world.
Our Confucian Mencius school believes that the people and the country are the most important, but there is no guarantee that every monarch will be a wise monarch.
Our philosophy of governing the country is that even if there is a weak king, it cannot affect the rise and fall of the country.
The specific way to realize the principle that the emperor is at ease is to prevent the emperor from controlling the power of the country.
Such an ambitious man would not start a war that would end lives for the sake of imperial power."
Qu Xiangyang has been paying attention to Emperor Su He's expression.
Even if Li Siyuan said something treacherous and unethical.
Emperor Su He's expression did not fluctuate violently.
But he was scared to death by Li Siyuan, who was Leng Touqing.
He is not an official, and he even wants to risk everything just for fame.
Qu Xiangyang didn't want to die with this person.
He signaled to the officials presiding over the meeting of a hundred schools of thought.
The crisp sound of gongs quickly came to mind.
Wang Sheng said impatiently: "The time is up, go down quickly! Don't waste our time."
Li Siyuan felt a little nervous. According to the normal time, he should be able to finish everything.
He had admired Mencius's teachings before, and after the communication between the East and the West became smoother.
Li Siyuan saw some theories passed down from England, and he felt that they were very consistent with Mencius' thoughts.
Only then did the East and West combine and merge into the current Confucianism and Mencius school.
The main ideas of the Mencius school of Confucianism come from Li Siyuan, and the oldest person is also Li Siyuan.
He participated in the Hundred Schools of Thought Conference and was already preparing to go to jail.
He just wants to pass on his school of thought through this kind of occasion.
Only in such a large-scale venue can enough people come.
Only Li Siyuan can find suitable talents.
There are so many scholars in the Dahua Empire, so there must be people who think similarly to him and develop this school of thought.
When Li Siyuan walked off the stage, he saw others looking at him strangely and didn't care at all.
These stupid people don't understand his thoughts at all.
Wang Sheng took the stage as quickly as possible. Because of the troubles caused by the Confucian and Mencius schools just now, he had to slightly adjust the order of the introduction.
"My name is Wang Sheng, and I come from the Confucian university school.
Our school does not advocate such dross ideas as the Three Cardinal Principles and Five Constant Principles, or the induction of heaven and man.
Our school resolutely supports His Majesty the Emperor and resolutely safeguards the Emperor’s rule over the empire.”
Li Zhisheng listened to Wang Sheng's performance, and a smile appeared on his face.
Wang Sheng is always quick-witted, and if the others follow Li Siyuan on the court, they may get into trouble.
After Wang Sheng came on the field, he immediately threw out the most important things.
They must support the emperor in order to be reused by the emperor.
This is the most important point, it is the foundation of all thoughts. Once lost, the whole thought will be a castle in the air.
“The main purpose of our Confucian university is to realize world harmony.
The great unity of the world described in the book is the ultimate goal of our school.
The mission of our generations is to realize the preliminary world unity.
The people can fill their bellies and will not die of hunger or cold.
The elderly, disabled people, and children can all be taken care of and will not die on the streets."
Li Zhisheng listened to Wang Sheng's speech, and the smile never stopped on his face.
The Confucian university school is just a shell of Confucianism.
Use the reputation of Confucianism to endorse their actions.
This was the cooperation between Li Zhisheng's previous faction and the old Confucian school, and his subordinates attracted a large number of Confucian talents.
Without the Confucian shell, these talents will inevitably leave due to ideological conflicts.
The core ideas of the Confucian University School are the many theories Li Zhisheng heard when he was with Emperor Su He.
Especially some of the words that Emperor Su He inadvertently revealed about the future of the empire.
Let everyone in the empire have enough to eat, this is the goal that Emperor Su He has always talked about.
Emperor Su He was prepared to spend several generations and hundreds of years achieving this seemingly simple goal.
When Li Zhisheng was thinking about which school of thought to choose, he was already preparing to incorporate this goal.
He knew that Emperor Su He was very disgusted with some red tapes of Confucianism, and the Confucian sect had no reservations at all.
After hearing this, Emperor Su He agreed: "Yes, Confucianism's ability to innovate is still very strong."
The emergence of the Confucian university sect made Emperor Su He happier.
This proves that his previous decision was correct, and hundreds of schools of thought competed with each other.
In order not to be eliminated, Confucianism will inevitably carry out certain self-innovation.
For thousands of years, Confucianism has been deeply bound to Chinese civilization.
Some Confucian culture has been integrated into daily life.
Emperor Su He did not want to completely ban Confucianism, which was simply unrealistic.
His previous approach was just to keep an eye on Zhu Chengli and suppress him.
When Zuo Wenya came on stage, he saw Wang Sheng's provocative gaze, but he ignored it.
He took the stage this time, more confident than anyone else.
Among the official circles of the Dahua Empire, members of Xinxue accounted for 70%.
Their inner learning is the well-deserved eminence of the Great China Empire.
Zuo Wenya believes that Confucianism is ranked first this time because of the light of the Xinxue.
"I am Zuo Wenya, representing the Confucian school of mind.
The Confucian School of Mind supports His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, unites around Him, and assists His Majesty in governing the world."
Emperor Su He was frightened when he saw these people. They kept emphasizing their support for the emperor.
He asked Qu Xiangyang: "Besides the Mencius school, is there any school because the emperor is not important?"
Qu Xiangyang immediately replied: "Your Majesty, this is the only one. I blame the officials for not being strict in their review."
Emperor Su He ordered: "Let me inform you. There is no need to emphasize the support of various schools of thought for me.
I have received what they meant."
The monarch and his ministers continued to listen to the sounds coming from the loudspeakers around them.
“The core point of Xinxue’s thinking is the unity of knowledge and action.
Disciples of Xinxue must synchronize what they think and do. Only by practicing something can you know whether it is correct or not.
Everything should be based on practice, and everything must be supported by sufficient evidence.
Find the ideal in your heart through the integration of knowledge and action.
Struggle all your life for the ideal in your heart.”
Yu Wenhe listened to Zhuo Wenya and explained the power of the unity of knowledge and action.
He was very satisfied with Zuo Wenya's performance.
With the development of mind science now, it has many subtle differences from the mind science handed down by Mr. Yangming.
Especially when King Zheng and Wang Zhongce were in the country, he had many discussions with Emperor Su He and finally determined the ideological system of Xinxue.
Without the emperor's strong support, Xinxue could not overthrow Zhu Chengxue in a short time.
Even if they are both Confucians, this speed is extremely fast.
The core idea of Xinxue is that practice leads to true knowledge.
Emperor Su He liked officials who were down-to-earth and did not like officials who talked and were pragmatic.
In psychology, there is almost no room for clear talk.
It is precisely because of the idea of the unity of knowledge and action in Xin Xue that many scholars from the Royal Academy of Sciences have also joined Xin Xue.
After listening to Xinxue's introduction, Emperor Su He praised: "After Zhongce left, Xinxue has persisted as always, which is very good."
Among his layout, the Confucian school of mind has always been the mainstream school in the Great China Empire.
Emperor Su He is ready, Xinxue is really rotten, and he will make Xinxue split again.
Most of the schools of thought that participated in the Hundred Schools of Thought Conference were the Weixin School.
The growth process of Xinxue was promoted by Emperor Su He, and it already had some characteristics of the materialist school.
This is also the reason why many scientists at the Royal Academy of Sciences do not reject the study of mind.
The eldest prince Su Shu walked to the emperor Su He and saluted: "Father, the teacher who taught me knowledge has always been a teacher with a heart.
I have been interested in the study of the mind since I was a child, and I hope I can choose a teacher of the study of the mind this time."
On the way here, the eldest prince Su Shu had already asked his mother.
When choosing a teacher this time, whether to choose a teacher from another school of thought.
Queen Wang Wenjun analyzed the pros and cons for Su Shu, and to prevent him from causing unnecessary problems, he must choose to learn from his heart.
Xinxue is the force left by his uncle Wang Zhongce, and this force is the strongest.
They naturally belong to the eldest prince's influence.
Once Su Shu chooses other forces, will the Xinxue School feel abandoned and switch to other princes?
This means losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds, which is not something a wise man can do.
Maintaining your basic base is the most important thing.
The second emperor Su Lei watched his eldest brother make his choice, and he was very envious.
Each school can only send one exclusive teacher to the prince.
This is different from teachers who take public classes. The relationship between them and the prince will be closer.
Emperor Su He agreed to the request of the eldest prince Su Shu.
He continued to watch the Congress of One Hundred Schools of Thought, followed by the minor schools of Confucianism.
The Gongyang School of Confucianism advocates that revenge for nine generations can still be repaid.
The Confucian school of admiration for antiquity promoted the restoration of Zhou rites.
Mohists and famous scholars also appeared on the scene. These two schools obviously only found some theories from some isolated books.
They followed the script and recited old theories without optimizing based on the actual situation of the Great China Empire.
Emperor Su He yawned when he saw it. These elementary school ideas were not sound and could not be used in governing the country.
Their ideas can be used as embellishments, but they cannot become mainstream.
When Emperor Su He saw this new person, he looked at Qu Xiangyang and asked, "Huo Qidao is the censor of the Imperial Procuratorate, Qiandu, what is he getting involved with?"
Qu Xiangyang smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Huo said that he is not very old. He is only in his 30s this year. He is indeed a young man.
He said that preachers could not tolerate any mistakes and chose someone who could not even memorize the "Law of Dahua". They could not afford to lose this person."
"I'll just take a look and see if Huo Qidao can come up with new tricks."
He made a listening gesture, ready to listen to the Legalist theory.
No matter in which era, Legalism is extremely important.
Even in the era when hundreds of schools of thought were deposed and Confucianism was the sole focus, Legalism did not disappear, but was covered with a layer of Confucianism.
This is because legalism has a certain degree of professionalism. If people who don’t understand the law practice law, they will only make a mess.
Emperor Su He attached great importance to Legalism, and law represented the order of the Great China Empire.
As long as this order can be maintained, the Great China Empire will never be in chaos.
"I am Huo Qidao, a representative of Legalism. Most people should have heard of my reputation.
The ability of our Legalists is not to govern the country, but to make the country develop in an orderly manner and to uncover the hidden moths.
When a prince breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people.
The disciples of Legalism only talk about legal rules and not about human relationships.
The laws of the empire are not perfect yet. We Legalists will gradually improve the laws of the empire in the future.
We must find corresponding legal provisions to punish any crime.
On behalf of the Legalists, I promise that we Legalists will enforce the law impartially.
There will never again be a foolish magistrate in the Great China Empire who can end the Spring and Autumn Period with a stroke of a pen."
Emperor Su He looked at the performance of Legalism. Huo Qidao was mainly here to promote Legalism today.
Legalists are suitable for reforming laws when the country is in crisis. When the country is at peace, they can only be responsible for law-related work.
Regarding Huo Qidao's deeds and his performance just now, when he walked off the stage, the onlookers burst into warm applause.
Huo Qidao looked at the audience's performance and knew that this performance was very good.
Legalism is one of the hundreds of schools of thought whose inheritance has never been cut off.
They want to make their own voice heard in this new era.
The Great China Empire was developing at a rapid pace and there were no enemies around it. It was not yet the era of reform, and the Legalists wanted to accumulate their own heritage.
As the leader of the Legalists, Mr. Li Yuanzheng, the imperial censor of Zuodu, has proposed that Legalists' children voluntarily sign up to go to overseas vassal countries.
There are internal and external troubles there, and the conditions for reform are there. It is the best stage for Legalist disciples to show their abilities.
