In the next few days, the Ming Dynasty held its first major debate on learning. During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang had a clear preference for Confucianism: he supported Neo-Confucianism. Therefore, although the selection of officials during the Hongwu period was eclectic, basically local
Some famous scholars were able to serve as officials. As a result, there were people supporting Confucianism in the court, but there was never any academic debate.
Since Yunxi was not involved at this stage, everyone could not debate by giving Yunxi comments. Instead, they wrote down their own opinions and had many copies copied, and posted big-character posters in the public rental housing areas of officials to inform others.
Express your thoughts.
After that, someone posted their own big-character poster next to the poster of the person they wanted to refute. Soon, everyone followed this person's example, and the big-character posters gathered together for a while. Often, after a big-character poster was stained, it could be pasted nearby within a few days.
Everywhere is covered with glue.
The ninth-grade official in charge of the public rental housing area was very obedient. He immediately had more than a dozen wooden boards prepared and set them up in an open space in the public rental housing area, and asked both parties to paste big-character posters on them. Soon, no one was anywhere else.
Posted, all gathered here.
Regardless of whether what they insist on is right or wrong, most people firmly believe in what they insist on. Even if the Neo-Confucianists knew that the emperor did not support them, they continued to debate and never gave up, for more than ten days in a row.
The big-character posters on the wooden board are updated every day, so officials who originally didn't care about it have to stop in front of the wooden board to take a look when they come home from work late at night. Officials who live outside public rental housing have to send their servants every day.
Come and copy.
However, Yunxi only paid attention to it for two days and did not pay much attention. He only asked about the current situation after going to court every day. First, although he also studied the Four Books and Five Classics, both sides of the debate quoted the words of many Confucian masters,
He half understood what he saw; secondly, he still had many things to do and did not have time to spend an hour or two every day listening to people explain the allusions.
In fact, it was purely accidental that Yunxi started criticizing Neo-Confucianism now. Although he had already had such intention, he did not want to do it now. But when he was talking with Xiyao about how to persuade Yunlan, he accidentally brought up the topic
When he came to the Three Cardinal Guidelines, Five Constant Rules and Neo-Confucianism, he decided to criticize Neo-Confucianism in excitement. When Xiyao persuaded Yunlan, he called Chen Ying over and ordered him to do so.
On March 22nd, Yunxi went down to court. Hearing Chen Ying say that the debate was still very heated, he ordered: "Chen Aiqing is paying close attention to this matter. If there are any changes, you must report to me immediately."
Put this matter aside and start criticizing the memorial.
At noon, Yunxi stood up and was about to tell Wang Xi to come over. Suddenly he remembered that he had given him more than ten days of leave, so he called out: "Huang Fu."
"My servant is here." Huang Fu trotted over in a hurry.
Yunxi frowned slightly. Huang Fu had been a eunuch by his side for almost four years, but it was still far less convenient than Wang Xi. Although he had not missed anything, he still lacked 'sightedness'.
"Send someone to the imperial dining room to convey the order. Today's noon meal will be delivered to Chengqian Palace. I will eat in Chengqian Palace." Yunxi ordered.
"Yes, official." Huang Fu agreed, went outside the house and told the young eunuch to deliver the order. He also asked someone to bring the coat that Yun Xi wanted to wear, serve Yun Xi to put it on, and followed him to Chengqian Palace.
Baoqin was quite surprised when she saw him. Normally, Yunxi would have a meal and rest in Qianqing Palace at noon. He might also discuss national affairs with ministers while eating. Why are you here today?
Yunxi did not immediately explain the purpose of his visit, but asked someone to take Wen Lin out. He took it from the female officer's hand, rubbed her with the stubble on his chin, and said with a smile: "Lin'er, do you miss daddy? "
"I don't want to!" Wen Lin, who is more than three years old this year, covered her face with her hands and said with a look of disgust: "Every time dad comes here, he rubs his daughter's face with his stubble. It's very uncomfortable."
"Wen Lin, how can you talk to daddy like this?" Baoqin said immediately.
"It doesn't matter." Yunxi smiled and said, "She is still young, so don't be too harsh on her."
Yunxi teased his daughter for a while longer, and then the imperial kitchen brought lunch. He put Wen Lin on the small chair specially prepared for her, and picked up Wen Lin's special chopsticks and spoon to feed her.
Wen Lin herself didn't feel anything was wrong. Although she usually didn't have Yunxi to feed her, she did have servants feeding her. But Baoqin didn't feel that way.
'It seems that the official family really likes Wen Lin, but they should let Wen Lin meet with the official family more often. Otherwise, let Wen Lin go to play with her sister Zhu Min every day? No, Zhu Min has to go to school every day during the day. In Kunning Palace at night, if Wen Lin pesters Zhu Min to play with her every night, the queen may not be happy.'
'Wenyao has to go to school all day now, and only has three days of rest every month. He has to review his homework when he comes back at night, and he can't see the official family for a few times. But it's okay, being diligent in studying makes the gentlemen have a better impression of him, isn't it? It's a bad thing; not to mention that Wenyuan also loves to study. When he enters school next year, let Wenyao deal with Wenyuan more. Don't ask for a good relationship, just be like the official family and His Highness King Wu.' Baoqin thought while eating.
Wen Lin was young and was full quickly. Yunxi put her on the ground and said to the female officer who was looking after her: "You can live ninety-nine if you walk a hundred steps after a meal. Take Wen Lin around in the yard." , take a few more steps, at least a quarter of an hour."
The female officer agreed, took Wen Lin's little hand and led her to walk in the yard. Wen Lin was a little unhappy, but still followed her obediently.
Yunxi glanced sideways and looked at Wen Lin walking, hugging Qin with a smile on his lips, and suddenly shouted: "Hold Qin."
"Guanjia, what's wrong?" she replied.
"From today on, you don't need to call me official, just call me husband." Yunxi said.
"What?" Baoqin didn't react at first. After a while, he understood what Yunxi meant and asked cautiously: "Can I really call you Your Majesty's husband?"
"Yes." Yunxi nodded with a smile.
"Husband." Baoqin called out.
"Well, my husband is listening." Yunxi agreed.
Baoqin immediately became excited. Although in the royal family, the distinction between wives and concubines is not obvious. The queen is not like the head wife of ordinary people who can deal with the emperor's other concubines at will, but it is different after all. The queen can treat her mother well, and all the people in the world will. She knew the queen's surname, but the concubines would not do this; the queen could call the emperor her husband, but other concubines could not do so without the emperor's permission. Now that she is allowed to call Yunxi her husband, it is definitely a great reward.
But after getting excited about holding Qin, he immediately thought of something. When Yunxi couldn't see it, his face changed, but then he regained his happy expression.
Yunhe accompanied her and talked a lot more. He was very happy to see Baoqin and said thoughtfully: "Baoqin, my husband has one more thing to tell you."
