A dusty cart rolled through the bustling streets of Kaifeng Prefecture and turned to the streets where Su Zhecidi was located, located west of Kaifeng Prefecture.

The late prime minister Su Dongpo owns his own mansion in Kaifeng Prefecture. It was a gift from Wu Haogu to filial piety to him. Everyone in the world knows that Wu Haogu is Su Dongpo's disciple. His disciples are so rich, and there is nothing wrong with respecting a house to the teacher. Moreover, when Wu Haogu gave the house, Su Dongpo was already terminally ill and was not afraid of impeachment.

However, Su Che, who was honest and honest, had no house in Kaifeng Prefecture, so he could only live in the imperial court's title, which was actually "public housing".

This carriage, which looked a little ragged, was parked at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. In front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were of course a crowd of doors. There were countless officials waiting to be summoned. The limited number of horse-tie stones had long been occupied by the chariots that arrived first. The carriage had to stop in the corner. The curtain of the carriage came out from it, and a man dressed in a fifty-year-old Confucian scholar was Hou Zihou Zhongliang, the teacher of Wu Haowen.

There was a person sitting in the carriage, very old, about 70 years old. Although his complexion was extremely poor, he sat meticulously, as if he was meeting the emperor in the hall. This person was Hou Zhongliang's teacher, Mr. Yichuan Cheng Yi.

After Hou Zhongliang stood firm on the ground, he first prepared his clothes and then bowed to his mentor: "Teacher, we have arrived."

"Okay!" Cheng Yi nodded.

Hou Zhongliang turned around and headed to the gatehouse of the prime minister's mansion. He and Cheng Yi were both distinguished guests of Su Che! In order to save the ideal of the saint, he came from Yichuan, Luoyang to Kaifeng Prefecture City regardless of the long journey.

The ideal of the saint was almost ruined by Wu Haogu and his empirical school! He went completely astray and no longer regarded pursuing "benevolence" as his highest ideal, but placed "studying things and seeking the Tao" at the highest.

Oh, according to the ideals of the ancestors of the Spring and Autumn Period, the great way is definitely the highest existence! And "benevolence" is the highest ideal that retreats next when seeking the great way.

Originally, "The Great Way" and "benevolence" should not conflict. The Great Way is of course a great "benevolence". How can it conflict with the Confucian "benevolence"? In fact, it does not conflict at all! The process of investigating things and seeking Tao will inevitably bring about great development of productivity (technology has progress), and the great development of productivity will inevitably greatly improve people's lives. An ideal society with "old age has something to do, strong has something to do, young people have something to do, noble, lonely, lonely, and disabled people have something to support" must also be based on the high development of productivity.

Of course, it is wrong to "evil is abusive and abandon it on the ground" and this is not a positive attitude... and this great scholar represented by Su Che and Cheng Yi cannot now view the relationship between "Tao" and "benevolence" with a positive attitude.

They think that the "search on things and seeking the Tao" of the empirical school is used in the wrong place. First, it has become a support for industry and commerce, which has increased the gap between the rich and the poor, making the rich richer, and the poorer the poorer the capitalism is evil!

Second, they have become accomplices of military and military affairs! The three major military academies are also the positions of the empirical school! Positivism and rationalism are not only used in natural sciences, they are also applicable to social sciences, especially military science.

So Su Che, who saw the Confucianism astray, was anxious, but he himself was also a great Confucian, and he knew very well that "virtue cannot overcome the way" and "power cannot overcome the way". It is impossible to defeat positivism and rationalism by relying solely on his noble morality and the power of the prime minister... In fact, many civil servants now call opposing the empirical school, but in their actual actions, they like to reuse the students of the Yuntai Academy!

People can do things really! Most officials from the imperial examinations do not have the ability to do practical work, which makes them have a headache for official business. It is easy to find Yuntai Academy students who are in the right position for majors.

Even Su Che himself is now using Wu Haogu? Are you planning to let Wu Haogu be the Hebei Administrative Strategy Pacifier?

Moreover, even though he brought Wu Haogu out of Kaifeng Prefecture, he never thought of shutting the Dujun Automobile Department.

Now the Du Junmaster Office does make the military affairs clear, which is much better than when the Privy Council was in charge of this big business in the past.

Su Che knew that it would be amazing if this continues! Twenty or thirty years later, the whole court was full of positivist Confucian scholars who went astray.

The Song Dynasty might also be destroyed because of this?

After thinking about it, Su Che thought of Cheng Yi who lived in seclusion in Yichuan.

If anyone in the world studies the empirical school of Wu Haogu’s most thorough study, it must be the people from Guanluo’s Neology.

A few years ago, they were competing with the empirical school! It was only as the Yuntai Academy became more and more prosperous, and the talent of the empirical school exploded, which made Neo-Confucianism suppressed.

But even so, the empirical faction did not kick Neo-Confucianism away.

Didn’t the Great Doctors put forward the slogan of “preserving the laws of nature and destroying evil spirits”?

Therefore, Su Che invited Cheng Yi and Hou Zhongliang, who lived in seclusion, to Kaifeng Prefecture.

...

Enter the door, salute, and sit down.

Even though he was terminally ill, Cheng Yi's etiquette was not messy at all. In the inner hall of Su Che's mansion, he sat upright like a statue carved from dead wood.

Looking at Cheng Yi, who was sitting in the lower head, Su Zhe asked with concern: "Uncle Zheng, should you take care of yourself for a few days?"

Cheng Yi squeezed out a wry smile on his dry face: "I can't calm down! Even if a person lies down, his heart still has academic disputes. How can he recuperate?"

Su Che stroked his bearded man: "It's really hard for my uncle to be honest... Wu Haogu opened the Yuntai Academy. The disciples of Yuntai Academy have now entered the Qingcheng Academy, Gezhi Academy, and the three military academies... Alas, it's getting stronger and stronger!"

Cheng Yi is now a small sect with few people under his command. Wu Haogu has countless disciples! If you want to count it carefully, there are more than 2,000 talents from Yuntai Academy, Knights Academy, etc., and you are still cultivating new people at an increasingly fast speed, of course, there are many outstanding talents. How can Cheng Yi resist it when he is together?

"It would be great if the teacher could have a palace!" Hou Zhongliang said deeply.

"The school is easy to handle!" Su Zhe said, "There is one now."

"My husband refers to..."

"Piyong Academy!" Su Zhe said, "But what should the Biyong Academy teach?"

Su Che did not want to raise funds from merchants to open his own academy, but he would not completely give up his educational position. Therefore, further reforming the Taixue became his only way.

During the era when Su Dongpo was in power, the Biyong Academy was actually a territory of Yuntai, and it also trained a class of students.

However, after Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian died one after another, the brothers Cai Jing and Cai Bian changed the Biyong Academy, and ran away all the teachers from the Yuntai Department, and found a group of old scholars to teach. Naturally, they could not teach the courses of the practical school, so they could only change them back to the original Confucian classics.

Later, although Cai Jing and Cai Bian stepped down, Su Che and Zhang Shangying did not invite the Yuntai Department's teachers back.

Therefore, the Biyong Academy changed from an "university" of the empirical school to the Confucian Imperial Academy. Many students in it also transferred to the Qingcheng Academy and Gezhi Academy. Those students who had completed their preparatory courses and outer rooms, and inner rooms, in Qingcheng Academy, also seemed to be a rare treasure! They could become successful as long as they taught for another year and became their own teachers.

However, Su Che and Zhang Shangying also knew that the Biyong Academy could not be turned into a "waste college", otherwise the world in the future would be from the real school.

This is also the reason why Cheng Yi was invited to Kaifeng Prefecture! In Su Che's vision, the Biyong Academy should become the highest peak of the examination promotion system. Below are local provincial schools and lower-level township (county) schools. Scholars can pass the exam and be promoted from the township (county) schools to the Biyong Academy, and finally become officials of the court.

"The law of nature is the body, and practical learning is the application!" Cheng Yi touched his beard, "The Biyong Academy should use this as the purpose of cultivating talents!"

"The law of heaven is the body?" Su Che thought for a while and nodded, "It is indeed not true that the law of heaven is not enough to resist empirical evidence! As long as you can restrain the fallacy of blindly seeking progress and follow the morality of the law of heaven, the use of empirical evidence can benefit the world."

Su Che's views are the same as Cheng Yi and they are all real great scholars. Of course, they know that Wu Haogu's empirical system is becoming increasingly large and more perfect. It is difficult to confront this by relying on "virtue" and "benevolence".

Because "virtue" and "benevolence" are not the real way. And "nature law" is the real way. Why do we need to practice benevolence and virtue? Because benevolence and virtue represent the law of nature! "Stolen the law of nature" means practicing benevolence, righteousness and morality. "Destroying human desires" will eliminate the evil desires of capitalism.

If there is no such thing as the principle of nature, then benevolence, righteousness and morality are an ethics. How can human ethics be compared with the great way of all things in the universe? If it is comparable, Confucianism will not let the monks and Taoists steal so much territory.

Of course, the theory of Tianli is not without loopholes. Using this theory to fight against the empirical school is equivalent to the great philosopher of Tianfang Buddhism (scam?) using the theory of the realization of all things to beat Aristotle.

Cheng Yi's source is the law of heaven, and Kengdi's source is Allah. However, Kengdi has the last messenger of Allah in the world, the prophet Muhammad, who is the backer, but Cheng Yi has no way to describe Confucius as the last messenger of Heaven in the world... If he says this, he will be despised by Confucian scholars all over the world! A good scholar will become a charlatan!

However, there is also a favorable factor in Neo-Confucianism led by Cheng Yi, that is, Wu Haogu's level is limited and it is impossible to build a huge and complete philosophical system.

He only "proposed" positivism and rationalism, and did not have the ability to perfect it. Even if the Yuntai Academy is full of talents, it will take many years to think and analyze to gradually form a complete and huge philosophical system unless someone can bring the full set of Aristotle's works back to the Yuntai Academy...
