Chapter 471

"This is temptation!"

Fang Xing leaned back on the recliner and said lazily, "not only is it testing your Majesty's attitude towards you and me, but also whether your majesty can accept the further infiltration of civil servants."

Zhu Zhanji's face was not very good-looking. Just after learning that behind the scenes this morning, he immediately came to Fang Xing.

Xie Jin was silent, because he was not tempted, but reckless.

"Brother Dehua, Grandpa Huang has put down a lot of affairs to them in recent years. Isn't it enough?"

Zhu Di is very diligent, but he can't compare with his Lao Tzu, so after running in well with the cabinet, he consciously delegated some power to Hu Guang and them.

Fang Xing smiled and said meaningfully, "after trying, who doesn't want to control more!"

Li Shanchang was Prime Minister Zuo at that time, and he was knighted as a civil servant.

He still received Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in his later recovery, and gradually became headstrong, constantly testing Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line.

Since the marriage with Hu Weiyong, the government at that time had been out of control.

As for whether Hu Weiyong wanted to rebel or whether Li Shanchang was also involved, it may never be clear.

However, Hu Weiyong was promoted by Li Shanchang, and the two are still married. In addition, Li Shanchang, relying on his high achievements, has repeatedly touched Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line. In the end, the whole family will inevitably end.

Today, Hu Guang's position is similar to that of Hu Weiyong, but Zhu Di is in power and the country's foundation is solid, so Hu Guang is certainly not suspected of conspiracy.

"They feel that the Ming Dynasty should be governed by civil officials. As for the king, it's better to rule by bowing to the arch. When they compile history books, they will naturally add a few strokes. It's still the Ming king!"

Of course, Mingjun. As long as you don't care about anything, we will definitely give you some good words to ensure that your good reputation will be spread in future generations.

But

Fang woke up with a smile and said disdainfully, "if they screw up the pot, it is estimated that the king who rules over the arch is the best scapegoat, and there will probably be more tyrants on the history books!"

Zhu Zhanji was thrilled when he heard the speech. How old is he now? Zhu Di hasn't started to explain these ways of kings and ministers to him at all, so when he heard Fang Xing's analysis, he couldn't help looking to understand Jin.

Xie Jin used to be a "chief assistant" and naturally had experience in this kind of thing.

But Xie Jin said with a bitter smile: "I only knew how to do things. I said when I was dissatisfied and unhappy. Now I want to come, it was really a little too much."

But if you want to say that Xie Jin can have such tricks as Hu Guang, Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji won't believe it, and Zhu Di won't believe it, otherwise he can't come out of the imperial prison alive.

This is a fool! Still a genius.

Zhu Zhanji's eyes were cold and asked, "brother Dehua, I know, but do civil servants dare to suppress the king?"

"Why not?"

Fang woke up slowly and said, "when the whole Ming Dynasty, only the imperial examination can stand out, then a consensus will be formed from top to bottom..."

Zhu Zhanji held his breath. He thought Fang Xing's words would be shocking.

"I've taught you some philosophy. Do you think it has much in common with Confucianism?"

In fact, Fang woke up to understand a fart's philosophy, but found a few books and transferred them to his students.

Zhu Zhanji nodded. Fang woke up and said with a smile, "Confucianism emphasizes the cognition of things, the cultivation of mind, the cultivation of morality and the re integration of the family. What do you think this is? The way of governing the country?"

"But without these, how strong is the people's heart and how to study?"

Xie Jin retorted that in his opinion, these teachings in the university are the true meaning of life and cannot be changed.

ha-ha!

Fang woke up with a smile and said faintly, "but how do I feel that I'm practicing Taoism?"

Xie Jin was furious, but Fang woke up and didn't give him a chance to argue. Then he said, "life is different. It's really necessary to cultivate mind and body!"

Xie Jin's face was a little Ji, and Zhu Zhanji's body couldn't help looking back, because he knew Fang Xing's means, which was to suppress first and then raise.

"But this is just your wishful thinking!"

Fang Xing sneered: "as for the so-called cultivation of mind and body, in my opinion, the environmental impact is the biggest factor, followed by the people's heart. The nine sons born by the dragon are still different. Does Confucianism want to make the world one with those books? Joke!"

Xie Jin said angrily, "nonsense! If there is no Confucianism to correct people's hearts, how can we be orderly and how can we be superior and inferior!"

Confucianism teaches us that heaven and earth are monarchs and teachers. Of course, there is an official who didn't say it.

Civilians, you have to be obedient to officials, because this is not only the need of order, but also the natural division of classes.

"You see, it was revealed without saying a few words!"

Fang Xing said with a smile, "before the Han Dynasty, Qin's law was severe, but Shang Jun died miserably later. This is the price."

"Dong Zhongshu called out to depose a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone. Then he took it as his duty to cater to the king, and finally succeeded in making Confucianism a prominent school, high in the temple and covering the common people..."

"But then?"

Fang Xing sneered, "after respecting Confucianism alone, how many generations will prosper and die?"

The Central Plains Dynasty under the rule of Confucianism always fell into the cycle of ruling chaos.

"Self cultivation? Those corrupt officials have been trained?"

"If it has been repaired, why is it useless?"

"Human nature is greedy, which is reasonable!"

Fang woke up, went to the table and poured everyone a cup of tea. Then he paced and said, "in my opinion, Confucianism is useful, but it can only be used for assistance, not governance!"

Fang Xing pressed his hand and motioned Xie Jin to wait for him to finish.

"Not everyone can be taught to be a high moral scholar. With his blindly shouting slogans, it's better to admit his shortcomings and introduce other theories to supplement himself."

Thinking of the corrupt officials who have been brought to justice since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Xie Jin was silent. Obviously, he also knew that Confucianism blindly worked hard in these aspects and flaunted its virtue, which was more than enough.

"Then there is the article."

Speaking of the article, Fang Xing couldn't help shaking his head and said, "the imperial examination draws materials for governing the world, but you actually think that students who rely on those eight part articles can govern the world?"

"Half of the Analects govern the world. Do you know how to build weapons? Do you know how to farm? Do you know how to build ships?"

Xie Jin was stunned and said, "aren't there craftsmen and farmers? Why should I wait?"

Zhu Zhanji had heard the meaning of Fang Xing's words, so he just lowered his eyes slightly and mixed feelings in his heart.

"Yes! What do you want?"

Fang woke up and looked at the budding trees in the yard. He said faintly: "those who don't understand craftsmen manage craftsmen, those who don't understand farming manage farming, and those who don't understand shipbuilding manage shipbuilding. So, what's your use?"

Xie Jin opened his mouth and wanted to say that we are herdsmen of the son of heaven, but he thought of what Fang woke up just now. The herdsmen didn't understand the skills of herdsmen, and immediately fell down.

Fang woke up with a smile and concluded: "Fang Xue emphasizes practicality and is useful after learning, rather than delving into the ways of gentlemen and saints. What theory is more useful?"

This was Fang Xing's first initiative to put forward the word Fang Xue. Zhu Zhanji knew what this meant, so he shook his eyebrows and said, "for the country, we only look at the actual effect!"

Xie Jin said dejectedly, "but I see you open these classes. After these students come out, can they be officials?"

This is the spear of son and the shield of attacking son!

Fang woke up and shook his head and said, "of course not!"

Before Xie Jin showed a proud look, Fang Xing said flatly: "I once gave a memorial to your majesty and proposed that my Daming officials, starting from the lower level, must start from the lower level, that is, they must be officials first, and then they can slowly improve according to their political achievements!"

"It's impossible!"

Xie Jin denied almost without hesitation: "no one asked under the window of ten years, and became famous all over the world..."

"So whether you can do it or not, you have to give him an official, don't you?"

Fang Xing looked at Xie Jin and asked.

Xie Jin was stunned and couldn't answer. Fang woke up and nodded, secretly praising him for not messing around, and then said, "everything is inferior, but reading is high. This statement itself is right, but the mistake is that it's Confucianism. Do you have to be an official in reading?"

"What can I do without being an official?"

Xie Jin himself is an official fan, otherwise he would not take the initiative to beg Zhu Di for abuse.

Fang Xing shook his index finger and said, "the students from Zhixing academy, what else can they do if they don't become officials?"

Xie Jin thought of the teaching materials he had read recently. He was shocked and looked at Fang Xing in horror.

"You are digging my Confucian foundation!"

After learning Fang Xue, even if you don't become an official, you can still easily find your future with those knowledge.

No matter physics or chemistry, or even mathematics, politics, geography... When students finish learning these, no industry can beat him.

If Confucianism doesn't become an official or teach, it has to learn other knowledge again to make a living.

Zhu Zhanji pondered: can the students trained by Confucianism only be officials?

But can they do it?

The lesson of history is not far away. We all know how officials of pure Confucianism are!
