    Zhao Mansion, on the Kang in the main room.

    After hearing what Yu Shenxing said, Zhao Hao couldn't help but cheer.

    He thought that if he had not intervened, it would have been decades later when Gao Panlong and his gang had grown up before they would have raised such a question that pointed directly at the crux of Confucianism in the Song and Ming dynasties.

    It turns out that Yu Shenxing had already had such doubts!

    This is naturally an encouragement to Zhao Hao, who has been secretly trying to break the foundation of Confucianism.

    Zhao Hao¡¯s praise is a great encouragement to Shen Xing.

    ¡°If he had said such deviant words at home, he would have been beaten with a big stick by his father.

    Now, instead of scolding him, some people actually applauded him. Yu Shenxing was naturally encouraged.

    After Zhao Hao was overjoyed, Yu Shenxing asked hopefully, "Sir, can you help me clear up my doubts?"

    "Of course, that's great." Zhao Hao rubbed his hands and said to him with a smile:

    "The reason why you have this kind of trouble is because Song Confucians divided 'knowledge' and 'work' into two paths. They despised practice and talked about human nature. They sat with their arms folded and talked about human nature with great eloquence and wisdom; Yishe  Specific government affairs are like a goose, and they can't do anything."

    Amid the roars of laughter from Shenxing and Sanyang, Zhao Hao said with even more bitter sarcasm:

    "It's just like Zhu Wengong, the ancestor of Neo-Confucianism. When the imperial court opened a subject to recruit scholars, you must all compose your essays according to his words, and you must not go beyond one sentence. People who are studying and serving as officials all over the world must follow his teachings.  However, when Zhu Wengong was still alive, the Song Dynasty was in a national crisis. Did this gentleman offer any tricks and secrets that could help the Song Dynasty rebuild and avoid humiliation? He didn't! Instead, he stared at the servants in the palace all day long.  Don¡¯t let them go, and make sure their words and deeds are in line with the rules. Could it be that Zhu Wengong¡¯s learning of sincerity was specially designed for eunuchs?¡±

    This was such a slap in the face. Yu Shenxing looked at Sanyang and saw that they were laughing more happily than anyone else, so he also laughed heartily.

    ??~~

    Next door, Yu Shensi was concentrating, leaning on the chair with his butt sticking out, listening to Zhao Shizhen's lecture.

    Yu Shensi has been impressed by this young man's clear explanation and clever thinking. No matter if he is serving tea or sweeping the floor, he is much better than himself anyway

    While I was listening with great interest, the explanation was interrupted by bursts of loud laughter.

    Yu Shensi suddenly looked unhappy and said, "Let's go, let's stay away from them."

    "It's up to you."

    It is rare for Zhao Shizhen to meet someone who is willing to listen to what he has to say, even if he goes to the room to talk about it, there is no problem.

    ??~~

    Inside, Wang Dingjue put down the notebook in his hand and refilled the pot with water.

    Yu Shenxing asked tentatively: "Sir, are you a disciple of Xinxue?"

    "Yangming Gonggong has made great contributions to morality and can be called a saint of this dynasty. The 'unity of knowledge and action' will surely shine through the ages!" Zhao Hao shook his head and said:

    "It's a pity that the disciples he taught were so bad. Those people only remembered his 'mind is irrational' and 'there is nothing outside the mind', so they talked about the nature of mind all day long without doing anything. And the Neo-Confucianism they vigorously criticized was different.  What's the difference?"

    "At least he is a true hooligan." Hua Shuyang whispered: "Unlike Neo-Confucianism, which only produces hypocrites."

    Amidst the roar of laughter, Zhao Hao said to the second king: "Write it down for him, and I won't change a word when I publish a book in the future."

    "Master, please don't" Hua Shuyang begged with a grimace.

    "Let's see if you still dare to interrupt." The senior brother sneered and lectured.

    Hua Shuyang had no choice but to lower his head and remain silent, not daring to think about how his descendants would view him?

    "Neo-Confucianism and Xinxue are the same" Yu Shenxing fell into panic.  "Is there something fundamentally wrong, and Confucius' teachings simply cannot be applied in the world?"

    "I won't answer this question." Zhao Hao shook his head and said seriously: "But I can tell you that Confucius always emphasized the inner saint and the outer king, allowing students to cultivate morality internally and establish merit externally. There is nothing wrong with that."

    "For example, Confucius despised Guan Zhong's behavior and thought he was very immoral. However, he greatly praised Guan Zhong's achievements in assisting Duke Huan of Qi to "unify the princes" and "conquer the world", and promised him the noble words "such as his benevolence, such as his benevolence". So  In the eyes of Confucius, individual ethics and administrative standards, morality and politics are not completely integrated into one, nor do they need to be integrated into one.¡±

    "The root of the problem lies with Mencius. He and Xunzi separated the teachings of Confucius. One side emphasized the 'inner sage' and the other one-sidedly emphasized the 'outer king'. From the Han and Tang Dynasties to the early Northern Song Dynasty, Xunzi's theory still dominated.  The study of "outer kings". Therefore, there were many cruel officials in the Han Dynasty who had outstanding achievements in governance. The Tang Dynasty also had talents who were famous for their wealth and wealth, or were famous for their cunning and wisdom. They did not have any "inner sage" studies, and their success was also  NoThe result of nourishing the body and mind.  On the contrary, according to moral standards, most of them are treacherous villains, but this does not affect their achievements and achievements in the Han and Tang Dynasties.  "

    "Of course, the one-sided emphasis on 'outer kings' also led to the decline of the Han and Tang Dynasties. In the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, with the rise of Neo-Confucianism, the study of inner sage gradually overwhelmed the study of 'outer kings', so integrity and morality became the judgment of officials.  The highest standard, so the whole dynasty was full of moral gentlemen but there were no officials who could govern the country. Naturally, they would not have the same outstanding achievements as the Han and Tang Dynasties. Even the Ming Dynasty could laugh at the name of the weak Song Dynasty"

    "Of course, I, Da Ming, am never timid" Sanyang and Yu Yu nodded together.

    No matter whether you can do it or not, it will be over if you just force it.

    "You can also write this down" Zhao Hao twitched the corner of his mouth twice and asked Yu Shenxing: "Do you understand your confusion now?"

    "Well, it's all Meng Ke's fault." Yu Shenxing nodded heavily, and then returned to the original question: "Does Mr. Sir have any practical teachings to teach me?"

    "Science is the study of seeking truth from facts and applying it to the world." Hear Zhao Hao say word for word:

    "This branch of knowledge is all concerned with real-life problems. Studying all aspects of reality, finding out laws, and solving problems is science."

    The disciples silently recited the eight words "seeking truth from facts and applying it to the world", and then quickly wrote down Master's definition of science.

    Yu Shenxing did not hesitate to get off the kang with bare feet, and knelt in front of Zhao Hao with all his body prostrated. He sincerely requested: "Sir, I sincerely ask you to teach me scientifically, and don't be too foolish to allow me to be my disciple."

    Zhao Hao smiled and nodded: "That's what I meant."

    "Thank you so much, master." Yu Shenxing kowtowed four times, then stood up and saluted the three senior brothers again.

    The three of them also returned the courtesy politely, and then Yu Shenxing stood in the last position and continued to listen to Master's teachings.

    ??~~

    Zhao Hao felt thirsty when he saw that the two fools outside had not come in yet, so he said angrily: "Are you planning to sleep outside?!"

    The third senior brother hurriedly ran out and called back the two people who were hiding in the west warehouse to give a lecture.

    When Yu Shensi came in, he said to his younger brother with a look of dissatisfaction, "Wugu, why don't you go back first? My brother is in high spirits."

    "Third brother, I won't go back." Yu Shenxing smiled and said, "I have become my teacher."

    "Ah, really?" Yu Shensi looked at his brother in surprise.  He knew that his younger brother had always disdained these strange skills.

    Then he looked at Zhao Hao again and thought to himself, could it be that Mr. Hao really has a theory that can be applied in the world?

    "He has already become a disciple. How long do you have to wait, you idiot?" Zhao Hao shouted.

    Yu Shensi quickly knelt down on his knees, kowtowed and paid homage.

    In fact, since he was stimulated by Sanyang and Xiao Zhao, Zhao Hao couldn't drive him away even if he used a stick.
