(Thank you for your friends and book fans, the monthly tickets for yesterday’s Xingchen ~~)

The conversation between women was like a small-scale war, with indirect attacks, intrigues and maneuvers everywhere. After Zhou Hou and Empress Zhang welcomed Zhou Han and his daughter into the palace, they had a warm conversation.

Sun Han and Princess Changping were nothing. Although Princess Changping was a little older, her knowledge was not as good as Sun Di. When Sun Di talked about what she saw outside, she was stunned and full of yearning.

Zhou Han, Queen Zhou and Queen Zhang were with Queen Zhang, and the three women also had smiles on their faces and pulled them casually for a while. Queen Zhou and Queen Zhang talked about the boredom and loneliness in the palace, which was very sad.

Zhou Han talked about the hardships of escaping from the capital. After meeting Li Xin, he followed Li Xin and worked hard to run around and the financial company. Zhou Hou and Empress Zhang asked about Li Xin without hesitation.

“Oh ~~”

Queen Zhang wiped the wet corners of her eyes and sighed: "My sister is also a miserable person. By the way, what books does Mr. Li read on weekdays?"

Zhou Han shook his head: "He seems to never read."

"Uh? Don't read?"

Queen Zhou and Queen Zhang looked at each other in surprise, and Queen Zhang asked again: "Don't Mr. Li read the books of sages?"

"this……"

Zhou Han was a little difficult to answer. After all, in her heart, she was still very traditional. Li Xin didn't read the books of sages and didn't think that this was what happened when Queen Zhang mentioned it.

Sun Di took it and said, "Aunt Zhang, Mr. Li once talked to his daughter about the issue of sages. Mr. Li believes that sages who have made contributions in history can be idolized and symbolized, and should not be divine. In other words, saints such as Confucius and Mencius should be ceremonially high, but they should not over-annotate or misinterpret their articles, and they should not regard one word and one's behavior as their own code of conduct, or even use it to restrain others."

"oh?"

Princess Changping said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't this arbitrary? Adi, don't blame me for being rude. You should use the words of a saint to govern the country. Young Master Li abandons the saint, this is not possible."

Sun Di said: "The era in which the sage lives is very different from that in this life. In the days of Confucius and Mencius, the rituals and music are broken. The ministers and the following people violate the superiors, so there are sayings that the Spring and Autumn Period came out and the chaotic ministers and thieves were afraid. However, after thousands of years of development, a complete system has been established. It is obviously inappropriate to govern the present life with the rules of the chaotic times. What's more, over the past thousand years, whether it is the Five Classics annotation of me or the Five Classics, the original intention of the sage has long been lost.

Just like Zen Buddhism, the Sixth Patriarch Huineng strengthened Zen Buddhism. Its original intention was to not establish words, but to spread them outside the teachings directly to the hearts of people and become Buddhas. However, since the Song Dynasty, not only did Buddhism distort Zen Buddhism, but literati also ruined Zen Buddhism, causing Zen Buddhism to become a means of fighting for the sake of maneuvers and exerting the benefits of speech. Isn’t this sad? Therefore, Wang Yangming criticized Zen Buddhism for being selfish, contrary to the laws of nature, and harming human nature.

The same is true for the words of the sage. After being circulated for a long time, there will inevitably be distortions. What's more, the sage's life is different from that of this life. Therefore, Mr. Li strongly opposes Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. Please forgive my daughter for saying unpleasant words. Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism can grow in this dynasty, and the Ming Taizu made an indelible contribution.

More than two hundred years ago, when the Ming Dynasty was first established, many scholars missed the Mongol Yuan and said that they were having fun here and did not surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Ming Taizu intercepted the intention of dedicating to the king and father in Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism, promoted Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism, and asked scholars to make selfless contributions to the king and father in terms of thought.

When Mr. Li was in power, he emphasized that there would be gains when he had gained something. The king and the ministers, and between people was essentially a relationship of exchange of interests. Just as the king regarded his ministers as his brothers, the ministers regarded his king as his heart, the king treated his ministers as dogs and horses, the ministers regarded his king as a countryman, and the king treated his ministers as a mustard, the ministers regarded his king as enemies, and did not require the world to be foolish and loyal to him, so he did not use the words of sages as the way to govern the country."

"oh?"

Queen Zhou and Queen Zhang showed a touch of emotion.

Regardless of whether they agree with Sun Di's statement or not, it is not easy for Sun Di to say this.

Queen Zhang couldn't help but praise: "You little girl, you are so old, how can you grow up?"

Sun Di's face turned slightly red and said shyly: "Aunt Zhang has been too rewarded. In fact, this is not what the little girl said, but what Mr. Li said. At that time, the little girl also had this question. Mr. Li said this. The little girl... thinks it makes sense."

Queen Zhang asked again: "What is Mr. Li's way of governing the country?"

Sun Di pondered: "Mr. Li once said that since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, people's moral level has gradually declined. Xia Qi abolished the abdication system and followed Yu and Xia, which was the first decline.

In the Zhou Dynasty, King Wen of Wen, as a magistrate, took advantage of the main force of the Shang Dynasty to fight against Dongyi, united with small countries to destroy Shang, and forced King Zhou to burn himself. This was the second decline. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the retainer Shi was the ruler of the king, and the three families were divided into Jin, and the Tian family was the third decline. In the Later Wei Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty was the Wei Dynasty, the Liu Song Dynasty was the Jin Dynasty, and even the Qi and Liang Chen, the fourth decline. In the Tang Dynasty, the palaces were filthy and in chaos, Li Longji, the Tang Dynasty, forced the daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan, the fifth decline. Then in the late Tang Dynasty, the soldiers were in chaos, and everyone was full of grass. Any strong soldiers and horses could become emperors. When the Song Dynasty Taizu Chenqiao mutiny, the Song Dynasty Taizong's axe sounded and candle shadows were the sixth decline.

The original intention of establishing Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty was to improve the moral level of the world, but it did not fundamentally solve the problem. Instead, it started by imprisoning human nature. Thinking that human nature could not be imprisoned, it was nothing more than clamping one's own mouth. Over time, everyone was hypocritical on the surface, but in fact they were full of bad water and a bunch of hypocrites.

Later, Xinxue was born and advocated conscience. As a result, Xinxue became a tool for struggle in the court. Anyone with different political views was moral deficiency and conscience was lacking. At this point, the world's winds were completely destroyed and people's hearts were hard to recover. In the Jiangnan area, old monks ate tricks and worshiped Buddhas, and all kinds of strange stories emerged one after another. Even if there were one or two gentlemen, the lotus was clear and difficult to clear and mud.

Therefore, if Mr. Li governs the country, if he talks about morality alone, he will only repeat the party struggles since Wanli. It is better to guide it with profit. Whatever profit is the same as what people want."

Zhou Hou and Queen Zhang were silent.

They thought that Chongzhen had been working hard for the past 17 years, but it was difficult to win over the country. Isn’t it just that people’s hearts are not as good as the court, and they talked about morality in vain. When it was time to work hard, they all refused to move forward.

After Zhou Hou raised funds for Chongzhen and found Zhou Guohou, he only took out five hundred taels of silver. Li Xin confiscated Zhou Guohou's house and collected millions of silver property. Queen Zhang's father, Huang Huang, also did not dime, and in the end, millions of property were cheaper Li Xin.

On the other hand, Chongzhen did not know how to adapt and only required blind loyalty. His ministers appeared to be arrogant, but in fact they were disobedient.

“Oh ~~”

Zhou Hou couldn't help but sigh, feeling unconscious.

She had some fantasies at first, and wanted to use Zhou Han to indirectly persuade Li Xin to return the country to Chongzhen, but what if she returned it back? What should she do if she should die? If she dies in the hands of others, the Zhu family would be very miserable. Relatively speaking, Li Xin treated Zhu Ming's royal family very kindly and righteously.

Sun Di glanced at the two queens and said, "The mother in front said that Mr. Li doesn't study. In fact, Mr. Li takes some time every day to use it for books. This time the girl happened to bring a few books to her aunt and aunt Zhang to see."

Fei Zhen'e knew how to open a small package and presented the book.

There are more than ten books including "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Collected Poems of Mr. Li", "Dialectics of Materialism", "The Emperor's Theory", "The Contractual Theory", "Mathematics", "Geometry", "Physics", and "Chemistry".

The two queens were very interested and read them.

Empress Zhang was holding a Dream of the Red Chamber, and Empress Zhou was holding a collection of poems by Mr. Li. Obviously, the two empresses were not interested in the following books.

"Niece, but is the niece coming?"

At this time, a surprise sound suddenly came from outside the hall. The girls looked up and saw that it was an old guy. This was the father-in-law of Zhou. Zhou Hou suddenly showed an embarrassing look.

After Zhou Han's mourning period expired, Zhou Guogong was behind the scenes and wanted to promise Zhou Han to fill the house for Emperor Tian's relatives. It was a blessing that Zhou Han took Sun Di to escape, otherwise he would be ruined in this life.

"snort!"

Zhou Han snorted, and her pretty face appeared unhappy.

Zhou Guofa pretended not to see him and bowed, "Niece, my uncle was also for your own good. I miss you a widow. You can't really live in the Sun family for the rest of your life. Although Tian Huangdi is a little older, the Tian family is rich and you are the wife. What's wrong with it? If you didn't want to, just say it, and my uncle won't force you, why run away? I've suffered so much outside, but I still have to meet the Regent, otherwise... I wouldn't have the right to see your father, hey~~"

As he said that, he sighed deeply, looking heartbroken.
