    Although Fang Congzhe couldn't figure out the little emperor's thoughts, as the chief minister of the cabinet, he had to ask tentatively: "I wonder what the profound meaning of the decree your Majesty just issued?"

    Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and then said: "Since the Han Dynasty, when hundreds of schools of thought were deposed and Confucianism was respected, China has fallen into a deadlock. You are all well-educated people, but can you remember which dynasty has lasted more than three hundred years since the Han Dynasty?  "

    When Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, and Xu Guangqi heard this, their hairs stood up. What did this mean?  Could it be that the little emperor wants to attack Confucianism? If so, it would be really terrible!

    Fang Congzhe said quickly: "Your Majesty, Confucianism respects etiquette and law, and emphasizes principles and principles, which are the foundation of governing the country. Your Majesty must not abandon Confucianism!"

    Zhu Youxiao smiled when he heard this and said: "Confucianism has dominated China for more than a thousand years. I can't abandon it if I want to. Besides, I also agree with Confucianism. However, Confucianism has fallen into self-isolation since the Song Dynasty.  In this state, we no longer pay attention to ideological development, but focus on the dead end of ethics and religion. This is definitely wrong. Fortunately, in the Ming Dynasty, Mr. Yangming created the line of mind science, which made a very powerful contribution to Confucianism.  Supplement, but I think there are too few Mr. Yangming, and Ming Dynasty should have more people like Mr. Yangming!"

    Fang Congzhe saw that Zhu Youxiao had no intention of abandoning Confucianism, so he finally felt relieved and said with a smile: "Since the birth of Yasheng, only Master Zhu has appeared in the Song Dynasty in more than a thousand years. I, the Ming Dynasty, can produce another Master Zhu."  Mr. Ming is already a sign of cultural prosperity. It would be too much for Your Majesty to think of another Mr. Yangming!"

    Zhu Youxiao snorted disdainfully and said: "Zhu Xi is just a corrupt Confucian. The reason for his success is simply to figure out the emperor's thoughts, infinitely magnify the Confucian ethical principles, and create a flashy Neo-Confucianism. Little did he know that he was doing this  Although the emperor was satisfied, it laid the foundation for the entire Chinese nation and Confucianism. One day, China will fall and Confucianism will be destroyed, and the old thief Zhu Xi will be the culprit!"

    Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, and Xu Guangqi are all Confucian masters, and they also inherited Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. I can¡¯t help but be a little shocked to hear Zhu Youxiao¡¯s negative evaluation of Zhu Xi. However, the academic atmosphere in the Ming Dynasty was relatively open, otherwise there would be no Wang Yangming  Let¡¯s talk about Chuang Xin Xue!

    Therefore, although Fang, Liu, and Xu were dissatisfied, they did not have too drastic thoughts, especially Fang Congzhe and Liu Yixuan. They had suffered a lot under Zhu Youxiao. To say that they had no grudges in their hearts was not  impossible!

    However, when Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he showed strong tactics in government affairs, leaving them no room to fight back. They originally wanted to teach Zhu Youxiao a lesson in learning, but since Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he had never held a sutra banquet, so they just  Even this opportunity is gone!

    This time Zhu Youxiao himself brought the topic to learning, and showed a disdainful attitude towards Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. This made Fang and Liu couldn't help but shine, and finally waited until they gave this little emperor something.  It¡¯s time to look at the color!

    Fang Congzhe immediately straightened his clothes and said seriously: "Your Majesty, if you want to stabilize the world, you must follow the principles and principles. Otherwise, if the people in the world are not kings, ministers are not ministers, fathers are not father, and sons are not sons, wouldn't it mean that the world will be in chaos?"

    Liu Yishen also followed up and said: "Your Majesty, ethics is the great way. If there is no ethics and no ethics, what is the difference between humans and animals?"

    When Zhu Youxiao saw that the two old men were in high spirits, he curled up his lips and said with a smile: "What the two elders said is absolutely true. Everyone in the world, whether emperors, officials or common people, must abide by their duties. Only then can the world be stable, otherwise  The emperor is licentious, the officials are greedy, and the people are treacherous and dishonest. If the world is not in chaos, wouldn't it be contrary to the laws of heaven?"

    Fang Congzhe was stunned and asked: "In that case, why does your Majesty disdain the principles of Neo-Confucianism and ethics?"

    Zhu Youjian said with a smile: "Whether a doctrine is to guide or educate the world, the people who hold this doctrine must first be able to do it themselves. Just like the Buddhist teachings about not killing or eating meat, a monk must not kill or eat meat.  Taoism talks about purity and inaction, so Taoist priests must stay away from sensual places and live in deep mountains for meditation. Otherwise, they must be fake monks and fake Taoist priests. However, Neo-Confucianism has come up with some principles that even the creator himself cannot achieve, and requires the world to  Do, if this kind of doctrine is not well understood by the emperor¡¯s desire to imprison the minds of the people, so it is highly praised by the emperor, and is followed by literati, I am afraid that no one will pay attention to it at all!¡±

    As soon as Zhu Youxiao said these words, not only Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, and Xu Guangqi looked embarrassed, but even Zhang Weixian couldn't help but snicker. When Zhu Xi came up with the Neo-Confucianism of "preserving the principles of nature and eliminating human desires", he himself was  The principles of nature have not been preserved, and human desires have not been eliminated. This is a major pain point in Neo-Confucianism, so it is generally not mentioned by others!

      When Fang, Liu, and Xu heard Zhu Youxiao talk about this sore point, their old faces suddenly became hot with embarrassment, but Liu Yishen still insisted: "Even if your Majesty, Neo-Confucianism is not good at all, its role in stabilizing the country and the country is  It cannot be obliterated. If Your Majesty wants to stabilize the country, Neo-Confucianism must be carried forward!"

    Faced with this kind of orthodoxy dispute, Liu Yishui couldn't care less. His words were sonorous and powerful. Although he didn't quote any scriptures, he got to the point. However, Liu Yishuo's tone and words when he spoke to Zhu Youxiao  , which shocked Xu Guangqi!

    After all, Xu Guangqi had just entered the capital as an official, and he didn't know Zhu Youxiao's temper yet, so he still had the rules in mind that the monarchs and ministers had in the past, but he didn't know that the big guys in Beijing were now being led by Zhu Youxiao without knowing it.  Much bolder!

    But before Xu Guangqi came back to his senses, Zhu Youxiao said: "Excuse me, Mr. Liu Ge, if there is a great disaster in the world and the people are hungry, can Neo-Confucianism allow the people to stay at home and die of hunger? I would like to ask Mr. Liu Ge, the barbarians  Can Neo-Confucianism make the barbarians put down their butcher knives when they ferociously invade our territory and plunder our people? I would like to ask Mr. Liu Ge. The officials are so greedy that they invade our people and harm the country. Can Neo-Confucianism make them as incorruptible as water and wholeheartedly serve the country and the people?"

    Zhu Youxiao's three questions were like three thunderclaps, which shocked Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, and Xu Guangqi. As Confucian scholars who had read poetry and books, they naturally believed that Confucianism could solve all problems, but Zhu Youxiao  From these three questions, they suddenly discovered that Confucianism does not seem to be omnipotent!

    Fang Congzhe took a deep breath, bowed with some difficulty and asked: "Does your Majesty really want to abandon Confucianism?"

    Seeing that the heat was almost over, Zhu Youxiao slowed down his tone and said: "Mr. Fangge's words are wrong. Didn't I say that Confucianism has been established in China for thousands of years, and the essence of Confucianism has been rooted in the culture of our nation?  How can I abandon Confucianism in my bloodline?"

    When Fang Congzhe saw what Zhu Youxiao said, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He was really afraid that the little emperor in front of him would directly eradicate Confucianism. In that case, even he would no longer be able to stand on the side of the little emperor, because that would not be possible.  Not only are there differences in political views, but it is also a battle over orthodoxy that will be settled with countless heads and blood!

    "However, Fang Congzhe is still very surprised. This little emperor has demoted Confucianism to the point of being useless, but he also claims that he will not change the current status of Confucianism. So what on earth is he going to do?

    With such doubts in mind, Fang Congzhe asked with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, I would like to forgive you for having the courage to ask Your Majesty how you want to treat Confucianism?"

    Zhu Youxiao said with a smile on his face: "What I want to do is to improve Confucianism and establish another school besides Neo-Confucianism and Psychology!"
