Chapter 179: Correct the style and discipline and abandon Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism!

After the scattered court, when Wei Zhongxian was ordered by Tianqi to clean up spies in the inner court, Zhang Guize and Chen Zizhuang and others went to the Charter Office.

On the way to the Department of Practice, Chen Zizhuang couldn't help but smile and said to Zhang Gui and other Ministers of Practice: "Fortunately, many clans of the royal family also supported the reform of the clan, otherwise, Jin Zhijun and others would not have opposed the clan.

The vassal reformers gave up their ideas.”

"Yes, but Yuan didn't expect that so many royal family members would support the reform. He even urgently hoped for the reform more than we ministers."

Yuan Keli said.

Zhang Guize smiled and said, "This is actually not difficult to understand. This reform of the vassal state is not so much a reform, but rather a rescue of most of the children of the royal family. The Ming Dynasty's royal family has reached hundreds of thousands, and because the salary of different royal families is different,

There has been too much gap between the rich and the poor. Many illegitimate clans are no different from slaves in front of the eldest clan, and the oppressed clans account for the majority. After all, there are only a few princes and princes, so

Most of the royal family members naturally support the reform of the vassal state.”

"What the uncle of the country said is very much. There is no need for us to give up the reform of the clan because of the rebellion of King Lu! Otherwise, I am afraid that the large number of royal children who came to the capital would be unwilling to do so."

Chen Zizhuang said at this time.

Yuan Keli sighed at this time and said, "With that being said, the matter of King Lu's rebellion should not be underestimated. The Ministry of War just received the news that the rebels had taken down Handan and Guangping Prefecture, which shows that many officials and gentry in the world still do not understand.

The court would rather support the rebels than the new policy.”

"Hmph! He really has no sense of loyalty, righteousness, integrity and shame, and he abandoned the country for profit!"

Chen Zizhuang said and asked, "Aren't they afraid that the court will settle the score after quelling the rebellion?"

Zhang Gui sneered: "Of course they are not afraid. After all, they can completely blame the rebels for killing officials and offering sacrifices to the city, and just capture a few ordinary people as scapegoats! Just like several cities in Liaodong were lost."

"Unless, after the court recovers these cities, the court will liquidate the gentry in the city on the grounds of the righteous world. That is, all gentry who have been blessed with the court will be the subject of the rebels' capture of the city. The head of the family has not died for his family or has not brought his whole family after the rebels captured the city.

Those who dared to be rebels ruled the people in the area before they fell into refuge, but they liquidated the court for disloyalty, and reclaimed the land and distributed it to the people; their fame and fortune were eliminated, and they were demoted to the common people, and public trials were conducted! The local people were allowed to convict the minority of their sins.

You can work hard to atone for your sins; those who are severe can be executed."

“Liquidation?”

Yuan Keli, Chen Zizhuang and others looked at each other.

Yuan Keli agreed first, "This is a solution! The court does not know the details of local officials and gentry, but the local people must know it. However, if the people judge officials and gentry, they are afraid that the officials and gentry in the world will not be acceptable. In addition, local officials are also willing to do this.

Do."

"The key now is whether Your Majesty and the Dukes can accept it."

Zhang Gui said.

Yuan Keli thought for a while and said, "For the sake of the safety of the country for thousands of years, I naturally don't mind the government organizing the people to judge officials and gentry!"

Chen Zizhuang also said: "That's right, although we are also officials and gentry, scholars and officials, we are also ministers of the Ming Dynasty. We are responsible for the safety of the country. Since we want to establish our lives for the people and bring peace to the world forever, how can we care about the small matters?

Wen Zheng said, how could a family cry all the way? Now it is the same. How can the decency of officials and gentry compare with the safety of the country and the tradition of the world?"

"This is true. Now for the revival of the Ming Dynasty, the new policies implemented are to reduce the excess and make up for the shortcomings, which will only make the powerful and the people happy."

"And in this way, there will inevitably be powerful people who take risks, either vassal kings, aristocratic families, or even local officials of the generals and families. It is impossible for these officials and gentry to surrender to the enemy at will without any trouble afterwards! In this way, how can we do this?

Is worthy of the soldiers and the people who died due to the intensification of rebellion?! Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the rebellion of King Lu to rectify the tradition and settle all officials and gentry who were captured by the rebels. Since they have been supported by the court in the past, they should accept it.

The court's liquidation!"

Lu Xiangsheng said at this time.

"What does Yuanfu think?"

Zhang Guize looked at Han Du.

Han Yu looked at Yuan Keli, Chen Zizhuang, Lu Xiangsheng and other people. He didn't know why his uncle Zhang Gui was so good at picking people. He actually made the entire Charter Office full of public and selfless people, and even as the chief minister now,

I was also affected by it and dared not think about the safety of the country, but did not dare to only think about the interests of my family.

This can be considered as if it is close to red, and if it is close to ink, it is black.

In the Department of Control and Preparation, Han Yu, who had the most experience in government administration, reminded him very pertinently: "Reckoning means that the court will not treat officials and gentry completely with the "benevolence and forgiveness".

No longer recognize that "scholars are the heads of the four peoples", but return to the system of Taizu. Scholars can govern the people, and the people can also supervise the people. In this case, our Ming Dynasty will no longer be the king and the scholars and officials sharing the world.

, but the king and the people share the world."

"If the king wants to share the world with the people, then naturally he cannot regard the people as a cattle and horse. He should open up the wisdom of the people and prevent the scholars from monopolizing their knowledge. In other words, it is best to make more scholars, and everyone in my Ming Dynasty is the best

Scholars.”

Han Yu said, looking at Zhang Gui and smiled: "The country's uncle and Zhao Butang can complete the new policy of clearing the land and pursuing the tuition in Jiangnan, which is also related to the fact that there are many people studying in Jiangnan, and there are a large number of poor scholars who can do it.

It is related to the government’s use.”

"So, if you want to settle the gentry in the world now, you have to let more people study and become eligible officials in the court!"

"The reason why Taizu was able to do this was because the official schools of the garrison were mostly from the cold people. Now if we want to liquidate the gentry without any future troubles, we have to let the officials in the world come from the cold people."

"This is indeed a pertinent saying. If you don't educate the people first, unify your thinking, and let everyone be knowledgeable, then you still cannot rely on the people to clean up the gentry! You have to literate yourself so that more people can gain knowledge

, become a knowledgeable scholar, and then support the court in liquidating unvirtuous gentry because of his own position!”

Zhang Gui nodded and said.

"In this case, the way of education will change. The teaching of Cheng and Zhu teach the people is to domesticate the people as obedient as cattle and sheep, not to make them smart. Therefore, the people accept such education, even if they become scholars, they will only be stupid, not anyone.

They can all break free from this confinement and have the ability to study things and think like the ancients."

At this time, Chen Zizhuang pointed out incisively that the educational method must also be changed, and even boldly stated that the official status of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism must also be abandoned.

"Be careful!"

Han Yu couldn't help but remind him.

Chen Zizhuang said excitedly: "The official said nothing wrong!"

"What Cheng and Zhu's learning tell the world is that the classics can only have one view, that is, Zhu Zi's view, but not his own view!"

"The smart one can pretend to believe it, use it to seek fame and fortune, and tame the stupid ones as cows and horses; and the stupid ones will become even more stupid, and because they are already scholars, they are also self-proclaimed and noble,

As a result, it was just a chess piece used by others!”

"So, if the common people can open up their wisdom through reading, they must abandon the existing teaching methods! Let the readers ask their hearts to study and find the answers they agree with, instead of just accepting Zhu Zi,

Know Zhu Zi!"
