chapter 70
"Yuan..." Zhu Sen's eyes were filled with surprise and almost blurted out, but when Zhao Xingde showed his eyes, he immediately stopped. Although Zhao Xingde's crime was an old story in the previous dynasty, the officials of the dynasty were quite filial and unwilling to easily rehabilitate the imperial case. In recent years, his articles have been circulated, but people have no trace of it. Chen Dong mentioned that he was kept by the officials several times and was left unpublished. Other civil officials were happy that he did not show up in front of others, so everyone no longer had any difficulties with the officials.
At this time, someone asked: "Is the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues not the right way?"
Zhao Xingde smiled and said, "No." As soon as this said, all the Confucian scholars here were uproar. Some looked at him in disbelief, and some were about to rush over with gritted teeth, but listened to him continue to say in a deep voice: "Tao is the principle of the movement of heaven and earth. The great way is the only way, and the heaven moves forever, and it is not for Yao, nor for Jie to perish. How can the sayings of good and evil come from?"
Hearing what he said, many Confucian scholars who wanted to refute him had no way to say it. The Zen message of Yang Xiu's mind, "There is nothing, where can dust be caused?" was just that this man insisted on the way of heaven and earth, but placed the Three Bonds and Five Constant places, but listened to him slowly said: "The Three Bonds and Five Constant people, so if you discuss it carefully, it is the virtue of human ethics, not Tao. What the Zhou people said, the emperor and heaven have no relatives, but virtue is the auxiliary. But virtue is the auxiliary of heaven, which is what the Zhou people say, "compare virtue to heaven". Tao is heaven, Qian, Yang, virtue is the earth, Kun, and Yin. If human virtue replaces the way of heaven, there will be mistakes of inverting yin and yang. Can the way of heaven still be reversed to match the virtue of human ethics?"
The Confucian scholars all over the field were quiet. Zhu Sen was thinking, Huang Jian nodded slightly and listened to him: "What the Zhou people said was to respect the heaven, protect the people, and be cautious in virtue. Respecting the heaven is the first, which means that everything in the world should follow the heaven and act according to the way of heaven. Those who follow the heaven and those who go against the heaven will prosper, those who follow the heaven will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. Those who protect the people will be as follows Mencius said that the people are noble and the king is light. Without protecting the people, there is no way to follow the way of heaven. Those who are clear about virtue and punishment will be to protect the people. Those who are clear about virtue and those who are cautious in punishment will be in accordance with punishment. What the Six Strategies say, kill one person and the three armies will be shocked, kill them; those who reward one person and thousands of people will be happy will be rewarded. The Three Bonds and Five Constant Ones, and those who occasionally violate it will be opposed, the people in the country say that they can be killed, which is the effect of bright virtue. But if you mistakenly regard it as the way of heaven, it means that deer is a horse."
After Zhao Xingde finished speaking, most scholars in the field were silent. Although the virtues of the Three Bonds and Five Constant Ones are also high, they are incomparable to the way of heaven. The way of heaven is not wrong. They live with the heaven and earth and will never die. Those who follow it will prosper and rebellion will perish. However, virtue is not like this. If the dynasty changes, the virtues of the new dynasty will be changed, and the virtues of the old dynasty will even be said of the so-called five virtues. Some even thoughtful and keen thoughts secretly: "Since ancient times, there are countless people who kill the monarchs with ministers, and the recent replacement of the Five Chronicles has been obvious. The Three Bonds and Five Constant Ones also require human power to maintain. No minister usurped the throne, and God dropped lightning and struck him. In the end, it is because the monarch and ministers are only human virtues, not the way of heaven." Thinking of this, it makes people feel cold in their hearts. After a moment of quietness in the academy, no one spoke out for refuting.
After a long time, someone said: "As far as the teacher sees, the world values, the auspiciousness, auspiciousness, prophecy, and alchemy," can be called the way of heaven?" The scholars looked at each other tacitly. The officials of all dynasties valued these things, and there was a lot of criticism among scholars.
Zhao Xingde shook his head slightly and smiled, "I don't say anything about strange powers and gods."
Huang Jian nodded to Zhao Xingde and smiled and said, "This gentleman is very insightful." He turned to the Confucian scholars and said, "If it is to be honest, I am a little bit. The world is the world of the people in the world, not the private property of one family and one family. Therefore, the strategy of governing the world should be based on the justice of the people in the world, not the personal interests of one family and one family. However, people are not sages, and all their personal interests are their own interests. How can they achieve justice of the people in the world?" Huang Jian slowly looked at the scholars in the scene and said in a deep voice: "The state must use public opinion to make justice. The country selects scholars through the imperial examinations, and the system of building schools to select talents. The laws of the country are determined by the great scholars of the whole country. The laws of the prefectures and counties
The rule must be decided by the scholars of the prefectures and counties. After that, all prefectures and counties are elected by the scholars of one prefecture and one county, and then the prefectures and county officials will choose their subordinates and serve them and supervise them by schools. And the prime ministers in charge of the world must be elected by the priests of the whole country, and then the prime ministers will choose the ministers of various ministries and serve them, and the schools in the world will supervise them. If the prime minister, the prefectures and county officials are defeated by the country, the scholars gather in the school, and then the election will be carried out. In this way, the superiors will be trembling as if walking on thin ice, and they dare not be defeated by the public opinion. However, the people who benefit themselves may benefit the public for the people of the world."
At this time, a scholar named Hu Yong asked loudly, "Where is the king who is appointed by sir?"
Huang Jian smiled and said, "The sage is governing, and the ruler is the prime minister, and the sacrifice is the king." This is what he has always advocated.
Another scholar named Tian Mu frowned and pondered and asked: "Sir, Isn't you afraid that the scholars will discuss and make decisions and delay national affairs? In addition, the school's scholars elected prefectures and county officials, and even the prime minister of the court, and the ministers of the court, will inevitably make the party struggles even more fierce. And all the people in the school are those who study, and most of them are not clear about the world. If there are evil heroes such as Wang Mang who confuse the public with evil sayings, the scholars will inevitably be the subject of it, and the world will suffer."
Huang Jian had a compliment in his eyes and slowly explained: "What Huang said about the school, scholars, is slightly different from the current county school, Taixue, and scholars. The school is not only a place for national training, but also a place for public opinion for the whole country. Scholars have achieved fame and honor through the imperial examinations. If they cannot become officials, they will be responsible for their own professions and live in business and business. Public opinion is the responsibility of scholars. If they do not participate in public opinion from time to time, they will be warned by sacrificial wine. Those who do not change their teachings will be eliminated. Therefore, the scholars who gathered in the school to participate in public opinion include all industries and are pillars of a country, a state and a county. Most of them are not just standing a foothold. As for party disputes..."
Zhao Xingde was standing in the academy and was no less surprised than other Confucian scholars. Huang Jian first proposed the school election and public supervision. Although it was just a fantasy, it was even more incredible. It was already very close to the system of later generations.
Someone beside him whispered: "If you say Wang Mang, I think Huang Zhoushan is Wang Mang. If you humiliate your king and father, you have to change the court system. Why didn't you arrest him and get him imprisoned and punish him?" Another sneered: "Brother, I'm on the stage. How can a Confucian scholar in Huang Zhoushan compare with the treacherous Wang Mang? My dynasty doesn't mean to be a criminal, and he has never accumulated any gangsters and never recruited troops to rebel. He wants the school to choose a prime minister, but he doesn't blame the mistakes of the government by name. Who will pay attention to him? If you are the boss of the current dynasty, are you punishing Zhao Yuanzhi who wrote the letter? Or are you going to provoke Huang Zhoushan for nothing? Huang Zhoushan's sayings are just a smile. If you say restructuring, I think it's still the first choice of Duke Wang Wen, and the tricks of managing the country's financial management are all real. Huang Zhoushan is just a rash statement, and empty words are useless."
More scholars stood in the courtyard and listened quietly to this novel theory. The so-called scholars and officials and emperors in this dynasty ruled the world together, and many scholars could not serve as officials, and they were just talking nonsense. If we follow the theory of Huangzhou Mountain, the truth of the king of Xu, the school scholars elected wine, the prefectures and county officials, and the prime ministers used to sacrificial wine, and the public opinion and supervision, impeachment, the scholars who had no official positions participated in political affairs, especially their influence on local political affairs will increase greatly. This is fashionable and March, and the spring in the mountains is cold and the fog is heavy. Unconsciously, large fogs of fog floated in from the bamboo forest along the breeze, and the fog wet their clothes and no one wiped them. People who were four or five steps away could no longer see clearly, and the scholars were still listening quietly to the novel theory that seemed to be coming from the ethereal void.
At this time, Huang Jian continued: "The so-called party is the same and attacks different parties. The villain has a party, and gentlemen also have a party. It is difficult for people who are not like to work together. However, in order to prevent the formation of gangs and seek personal gain, public opinion should be prevented. Although scholars are their own parties, they must be public opinion and intention. If there is a derogation of the public for personal gain, the scholars will prohibit it by public opinion. Although the school has the power to elect and discuss public opinion, the power of political affairs is still in the prime minister. The six ministries and prefectures and county officials cannot improvise it, so the court will not be disturbed if the public opinion cannot be disturbed.
The court system. If seven or eight out of ten sergeants in the country think it is not feasible, the major affairs of the court should not be obstructed by public discussion. Even if there are treacherous heroes like Wang Mang who deceived most scholars for a while, the school can still use public discussion to pronounce it after the authenticity is determined. If six or seven out of ten sergeants in a county agree, then the county magistrate will be passed. If six or seven out of ten sergeants in a state agree, the county magistrate will be passed away. If six or seven out of ten sergeants in a state agree, the prefecture can be passed away. The public discussion of the school offering wine can be passed away.
After he finished this passage, he was still asking questions from scholars, and Huang Jian gave answers one by one. Zhao Xingde heard that both the questions and answers made him feel novel and strange while familiar. However, compared with the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom, the scholars of the Song Dynasty were obviously not very familiar with specific military and political affairs. Some people only knew that the court had four major camps, but they did not know how many troops the camps were. Some people thought that the current situation was similar to the towns in the late Tang Dynasty, and they advocated the reduction of the vassals, but they did not know that the Song Dynasty was now attacked by both sides of the northwest and the people in the southeast were still in ruins. If the imperial guards in the front, the capital would have been left and right.
