Lu Hao asked Lu Gongxiang, who was sweeping hundreds of families like a mat.

The seven-day New Year's holiday was supposed to only include the first day of the Lunar New Year, which was just one issue of the Di newspaper that was transcribed on the second day of the Lunar New Year. But it was obvious that Lu Gongxiang was well prepared and had received some information from Zhao Guan's family.

Strong support... In the next few days, Di Bao continued to publish a supplement every day, just like the wartime situation last year.

However, these supplements had no political records, only the last two casual issues from the past, so they were nicknamed "Seven Days of New Year's Fun" in the Tokyo market.

Two large pieces of paper, one is dedicated to "Miscellaneous Notes on Journey to the West and Conquering the Demons". Obviously, this is the result of someone's continuous updating in order to support Lu Gongxiang; the other is only written with scattered articles, some small poems, some poems, and some anecdotes.

, Feng Yi and Feng Erguan even recommended which gingerbread shop in Tokyo has the best taste, so much so that it became a government-appointed shop... Of course, everyone knows that on this piece of paper, Lu Gongxiang can't move it within a few days.

An introduction to principles' is the real main course.

For five or six days in a row, during the holiday, Lu Gongxiang went from the creation of the world to the study of things to achieve knowledge, and from obeying people's desires to discerning the principles of nature to utilitarianism, and the unity of knowledge and action. Practice tested everything. In the end, he did not forget to say that he was from Wang Shu.

The insights gained from there... In short, when other famous scholars had no chance to speak, Pingzhang, a military official, used this cheating method, and then under the recommendation of someone with strong political implications, he

A propaganda resource that is simply unmatched by other theories, and a summary of this suture monster theory is forcibly completed in a way that transcends the times.

What is slightly worth mentioning is that although Di Bao officially announced the name of Lu Gongxiang's new theory as Principle New Science, and Lu Gongxiang was also doing an "Introduction to Principle Science" these days, the common people and scholars still followed Qi Xue

, the naming method of Xin Xue, Neo-Confucianism, Guan Xue, Luo Xue, etc., gave this doctrine that was obviously forcibly stitched together Shu Wang Xin Xue, Lu's Taoism plus Xintian theory a simple name of 'Yuan Xue'.

After all, the article on the third day of the lunar new year said that after the chaos of heaven and earth ended, atoms soon formed from the principles of heaven, and then the atoms formed specific material tiny molecules according to the laws of nature, and then the molecules were piled together to form heaven and earth.

All things... In other words, all things in the world are composed of the original principle of heaven through the basic particles of atoms... This statement is probably the only thing that ordinary people can understand.

So it is said to be original learning, that is, original learning.

Of course, what should come will come. After the seven-day holiday, Mr. Qingshan Huan Guo, who had been unable to find a way to supplement the holiday newspaper, directly blocked the gate of Honglu Temple. At this time, Hu Quan, who came to work seriously, did not do anything anymore.

However, he took the initiative to accept Huan Guo's contribution and promised to put the contribution in the next issue of the Di newspaper.

In addition, from a political perspective, the Han Confucian theory of reincarnation and the theory of the Five Virtues and the Induction of Heaven and Man experienced the impact of Buddhism and Taoism in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and the cruel reality of the Five Dynasties and the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Towards political death; and from an ideological point of view, starting from Han Yu in the mid-Tang Dynasty who saw the impact of Buddhism, all Confucian scholars gradually abandoned the old Han Confucianism and turned to seek new ones.

New Confucianism adapting to the times.

To put it bluntly, China's traditional social elites are by no means fools. As those who have personally experienced the reincarnation of the Five Virtues and the induction of heaven and humans, how can they not know? Don't understand?

But the key point is that where the social problems are, Han Confucianism is not good, and Han Dynasty Confucianism is not good, you have to come up with a new approach! And after such a long time, Confucianism has long been integrated with the entire society, and has political power

Without the undoubted authority, this means that if you want to reform, you have to start from within Confucianism and return to Confucian classics.

Otherwise? Peel off the Confucian skin and use shock therapy?

Therefore, after the Song Dynasty, people like Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, then Zhang Zai, Er Cheng, and now Huan Guo were thoughtful social elites who were studying related issues and trying to propose a kind of New Confucianism to deal with social problems.

By the way, we should inherit the old scholarship of Han Confucianism and continue to safeguard the political and cultural achievements of China's unification.

But back to the present, since Lu Haowen has gritted his teeth and become a saint of the original religion, he is already prepared to be blown up to pieces by the gunpowder pot. And Huan Guo, as the great Confucian who has gone the farthest to connect the past and the future, is also

The Taoist master who is currently the closest to him physically, his counterattack is almost what everyone can expect.

And I have to admit that Huan Guo, as an expert who has studied these issues all his life, is well-informed. He pointed out a huge problem in Yuanxue from his own academic perspective - Lu Haowen's Yuanxue has no energy.

'This concept, or Lu Haowen's original theory, fundamentally has no place for 'qi'.

You must know that there is a reason why Huan Guo's own teachings put everything on Qi. It is not just that he directly accepted some magical views from Zhang Zai and Er Cheng and just followed them...almost all Taoists

The important reason why both emphasize the concept of qi is that qi is invisible and permeates the whole world. However, it can be clearly perceived by people, and it can also be connected with people themselves through the phenomenon of breathing, which in turn affects thoughts and

These two concepts of morality.

In other words, Qi was carefully selected by the Taoists and Neo-Confucianists at this time to serve as an intermediary concept that connects complex philosophical concepts such as nature and people, life and non-life, tangible and intangible, and internal and external. Those ethereal things are represented by Qi.

The forms are transformed into each other.

Therefore, although there are some conceptual differences between various schools, for example, the concept of Qi here in Huan State is particularly large and broad, and others may have less, but in any case, this concept of 'Qi' is present in Taoism.

extremely important fundamental position.

And Huan Guo said that Lu Haowen's original theory did not talk about "qi". In fact, he was saying that Lu Haowen's original theory did not explain the fundamental connection between life, morality and nature, and did not integrate all things in the universe with people and those things in Confucianism.

Joining forces... This is of course a hit to the point, a kick that hits the nail on the head.

To put it bluntly, what is a human being?

A magical thing like a human being can have thoughts and morals, so how can it be a thing? You say that things embody the laws of nature? Can stones also think?

This kind of doubt is not only found by experts like Hu Guo, but also by people with a little knowledge of Confucianism. If it cannot defeat this wave of doubts from Hu Guo head on, then even if this Yuan Confucianism relies on the partiality of officials and the

The political status of Lu Haowen has become the official doctrine, which is at most another Shu Wang Xinxue and cannot play the role of unifying thought. The following Neo-Confucianism and Taoism will still go their own way and eventually occupy the mainstream.

Therefore, in the first month of the fifth year of Jianyan's reign, when many foreign ministers and military generals were confused, Di Bao began to serve as a battlefield for academic confrontation in a special format that was only published within the capital, with a daily supplement.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, before the spring plowing had even begun, the Di newspaper officially published Huan Guo and many other great Confucianism's attacks, doubts, support and discussions on the 'original learning'. There were no more idle articles and stories in the entire two pages.

Among them, Huan Guo was the most powerful because he had something in his heart and was full of vigor. The other opponents, probably because they were afraid of Lu Haowen's academic and political status, and also estimated the posture of Zhao Guan's family, could not help but appear a little cautious.

In this regard, Lu Gongxiang still remained calm and calm. In this supplement of the Di newspaper, he ignored the other soldiers and generals, and did not elaborate on the long article about Huan State to complete his own complex philosophical concepts such as life and morality, inner and outer objects, and so on.

To defend Yuan Xue. On the contrary, Lu Haowen, who is usually gentle, just stated the essence of "qi" in Yuan Xue in a judgmental and plain tone.

According to him, Qi is also a kind of substance, and only a kind of substance. It is true that it contains natural principles, but it is no different from stone, bamboo, water, ice, and soil! The reason why people think it is special is just because

A person is in the air, just like a fish in the water. It is difficult to detect its material reality.

This statement seems to be just a perfunctory and hasty supplement to the concept of 'qi' in Yuanxue according to Huan Guo's doubts, but in fact it is based on offense and defense, and it has been directly inserted into the heart of other Taoist sects such as Huan Guo.

Go up... Because if Qi is just a universal substance like water and earth, then what is the theory of these people?

And the more critical point is, from the perspective of searching for the truth, how can Qi be a water-like substance? Haoran Zhengqi is obviously a moral concept, right?

In short, this absurd statement immediately angered Huan Guo and many other Taoist celebrities in the capital.

After all, everyone is currently exploring. If it is just an academic discussion, we can continue to discuss if there are some problems. But the problem is that Lu Haowen's original theory is obviously to obtain official support and then be promoted in the world. If the people of the world

Everyone regards Qi as an ordinary substance, so do we still need our own theory?

And again, how could Qi be just a kind of thing? How could Yuanxue become an official doctrine with such absurd fundamental errors?

Wang Anshi knows how to leave some issues blank, right?

Due to emotions and reasons, whether it is to eliminate heresy or to preserve it, we cannot allow this theory to continue to develop in such a grand manner.

It can be said that in this debate, the two sides only had a good match, and there was no room for discussion anymore, and they have fallen into an incompatible situation.

So, in the afternoon of this day, without waiting for another submission for debate, Huan Guo directly led two Taixue professors, seven or eight middle- and lower-level officials, and five or six celebrities in Beijing, all from the Taoist lineage, to Xuande Tower

Outside, please go inside to see the Holy Spirit.

Of course, Zhao Guan's family was as amiable as ever. He directly asked Lan Gui to come forward and lead Huan Guo and others to the harem.

"I didn't know that your majesty was performing the spring plowing ceremony..." When they arrived at the harem, Huan Guo and others were filled with indignation. However, after seeing what Zhao Guan's family was doing, they still controlled their anger and responded respectfully.

"It's not a spring plowing ceremony. This year's spring plowing is estimated to take about ten days." Zhao Guanjia, dressed in short clothes, turned around with a shovel, sweating slightly, but behind him there were hundreds of servants rolling up their sleeves and trouser legs to work there.

"I am following the teachings of Lu Xianggong's original school and practicing them to prove the truth."

Hearing this, the other visitors who had gathered their courage were frightened and did not dare to speak at all. However, Huan Guo calmly looked at the official's expression, and then asked him calmly without being humble or arrogant: "I dare to ask the official, this is practice.

What, what truth does it prove?”

"That's it." Zhao Jiu held the shovel and faced him calmly. "I read "Mencius" and it said that you can eat meat at the age of seventy, so I was a little confused... Hu Qing, you are a world-famous scholar, why do you think you are seventy?

Only when you are 10 years old can you eat meat?”

Huan Guo frowned slightly, but still raised his hands to each other seriously: "Guan family, this sentence is contextual. The original text is: a house of five acres, with mulberry trees, and those who are fifty can be clothed with silk; chickens, dolphins, and dogs feed it.

If the cattle are not lost in their season, a man of seventy can eat meat; if the land of a hundred acres is not taken away in its season, a family of several people can be free from hunger. In other words..."

"In other words, this is about a family that settles down and buys a house in a five-acre area. Not counting the grains that the family obtains from the hundreds of acres of cultivated land outside, they plant mulberry and raise food around the homestead in order to achieve self-sufficiency in clothing, materials and meat.

Self-sufficient?" Zhao Jiu continued the other party's words and continued speaking directly.

"That's what I mean." Huan Guo also became a little cautious.

"I don't think so." Zhao Jiu shook his head. "I always feel that it's a bit ridiculous that a five-acre house can achieve this level of self-sufficiency... So I want to try it myself to see if it can be better than what is in the book.

Some."

Huan Guo was by no means a person who could "distant the emperor from Confucianism". He did not refute Zhao Jiu on the spot. Instead, he carefully looked at the extent of development of the Zhao Guan family's harem wasteland, and then said sternly: "I don't know what the official family wants to be better than in the book."

The situation?"

"I was just wondering, can everyone in the Song Dynasty be able to eat two taels of meat every day?" Zhao Jiu looked at the helpless eyes of Feng Yi and other provincial officials behind him, and also looked at each other in disbelief at the famous Taoists behind Huan Guo.

Next, he said some ridiculous words. "Hu Qing, think about it, if everyone could eat two taels of meat every day and everyone became strong, wouldn't they be bullied by the Jin people?"

Huan Guo was silent for a moment, and then faced each other seriously: "How dare I ask the officials, how are they going to put it into practice to prove it like this?"

"Hu Qing, wait and see." Zhao Jiu turned around and pointed to the wasteland and a group of people behind him. "In addition to following the official Lan, the second official Feng has serious missions, and there are also miscellaneous internal servants and more than a hundred maids in the palace.

, they are all old people who have gradually returned in the past two years, only living in various places in the harem. And this wasteland that used to be a lotus pond and garden, about 14 or 5 acres, was where the imperial garden was before Genyue was built.

.I plan to take these people with me. I will use these twelve or thirteen acres to repair fish ponds, transplant mulberry trees, feed chickens and ducks, and find a few old farmers to guide and teach them carefully... You think, if these places can be used as palaces

If hundreds of people eat two taels of meat per person per day, regardless of chicken, duck or fish, is that enough to prove that if people in the world work hard, they can also eat two taels of meat per person per day? And then everyone will be strong?"

Huan Guo was silent for a moment again, and then responded: "If the officials can do this, it will be enough proof. Moreover, this is the admonition of the sage. The truth behind the king's innocence. If the officials want to verify it, no one can."

I dare not stop it...but the official must be the emperor, and the royal family must have dignity. Some things do not need to be done in the palace, and the official does not need to do it himself."
To be continued...
