Chapter 441

When Zhang Shun heard the words, he just said lightly: "It's so good, everyone will be brothers in the future, and let the past not be to blame for the past!"

In fact, Zhang Shun was ecstatic in his heart, he was just habitually telling lies to stir up the muddy water, but he didn't expect to inadvertently insert willows and willows into shades.

On the one hand, he even deceived the "Crossing General" Huang Lai'er, the county seat of Songxian County, which he had never captured with all his efforts; on the other hand, he tricked five students into joining the rebel army.

Although there is no shortage of civil servants and generals under Zhang Shun's command, there is still a shortage of basic civil servants and military officers.Military officers can also be trained by themselves, but the civil servants need to be able to read and write sentences.

It has only been two years since Zhang Shun started his army, how can he have time to train so many civil servants?

Now I have coaxed five students in one breath.If there is a great talent among them, I must have made a profit; if it is a mediocre person, I can still serve as a civil servant, and I still don't lose money.

On Zhang Shun's side, the monarch and his ministers get along well, and on the other side, He Fu, the magistrate of Song County, was about to be pissed off.He couldn't help cursing: "Xu Quan, Hong Jinyang, Li Xijiu, Wang Maozhong, Sun Chengzong! What do you learn when you read the books of sages?"

The five of Xu Quan had followed He Fu, the county magistrate, to defend Song County, so they were acquainted with each other.They had just "followed the thieves", and they were ashamed when they heard the words, and they bowed their heads and said nothing.

As the saying goes, "It depends on the owner to beat a dog." These five people have just taken refuge in Zhang Shun. He Fu, the magistrate of Song County, slapped him in the face like this. Is it tolerable or unbearable?
Seeing that others couldn't answer, Zhang Shun answered in person: "Cultivate one's self, govern one's family, govern the country and bring peace to the world!"

He Fu in Songxian County was sarcastically sneering at the words, and spat, but remained silent.That Xu Quan and the others scrambled to hide their faces, unable to bear to look directly at them.

Zhang Shun felt strange, and quickly asked in a low voice: "Isn't reading the books of sages just for the sake of the family, the country, and the world?"

Seeing that Zhang Shun was really ignorant, Xu Quan had no choice but to explain in a low voice: "This statement comes from Wen Tianxiang's "Clothing Praise" by Prime Minister Wen. After the death of Prime Minister Wen, it was found by the world on Prime Minister Wen's belt. It said : Confucius said to achieve benevolence, Mencius said to obtain righteousness, only when righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence is supreme. Read the books of sages and sages, what have you learned, now and now, the common people have little shame!"

After speaking, Xu Quan turned his head away, too ashamed to meet anyone.

Zhang Shun understood as soon as he heard it, He Fu, the magistrate of Song County, was "playing tricks" on his feelings.In this era, it is also called an allusion. This is him mocking Xu Quan and the other five people for not being able to sacrifice their lives for righteousness.

Zhang Shun saw that this was not going to work, and he fell into a disadvantage in the public opinion war, and no scholar would follow him in the future.

So he laughed loudly and said, "Do you dare to talk about benevolence and righteousness? Confucius said benevolence, and Mencius said righteousness. The intention is for the people. The people are also the foundation of the country?"

"If there is a people, there is a country, if there is a country, there is a king, and if there is a king, there is a community. Therefore, 'the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least'. Therefore, we plead for the people, hang the people and punish crimes, and save the people from the fire and water. , to relieve the people from the danger of hanging upside down, is the benevolence of the world and the righteousness of the world!"

"Today there are rotten Confucians who flatter the monarch and act like villains in order to gain fame and gain. As a human being, he does not care about the safety of the country at the top, and does not care about the life and death of the people below.

Since the Song Dynasty, Confucianism has only talked about morality such as loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, but has avoided talking about "what is loyalty", "why loyalty" and "what is loyalty". It gradually changed from a family theory to a religious form.

By the way, Zhang used the ideological system of later generations, and in turn used Confucian classics to deconstruct Confucianism.

You sour literati, rotten scholars, poor classics and brilliant heads, I, Zhang Shun, can't argue with you.But I can "put the people first" and in turn cut off the root of your so-called "benevolence and righteousness" morality.

Only with the people can there be a country, with a country can there be a monarch, and with a monarch can there be a country.What the two sages of Confucius and Mencius said was "to benevolence and righteousness", which is aimed at "pleading for the people, hanging the people and punishing crimes".

To sacrifice one's life for righteousness for the benefit of the people is the benevolence of the world.Loyalty to one family and one surname is just to flatter the monarch. How is it different from those sycophants?Do you dare to talk about giving up your life for righteousness?

Zhang Shun's speech was clear and logical, which not only silenced He Fu, the county magistrate of Nasong County, but also made Xu Quan and others, Fu Yuren, Liu Jiangyue and other students present, as well as the onlookers, the gentry and common people, amazed and admired. The five-body projection.

Everyone in the room was deeply educated in Confucianism since they were young, and they always thought that benevolence, righteousness and morality were a matter of course, and they never expected Zhang Shun to make such remarks.

The ideological system of later generations is a crushing existence to the Confucianism of this era, and it immediately smashed the benevolence and morality system.In addition, it was born out of the traditional moral system, and it complements the defects of the original moral system of benevolence and righteousness.

When everyone suddenly heard such remarks, they felt that it was perfect and deeply shocked.There was no one to refute for a while, and the audience fell silent.

I don't know how long he has been here, but Wei Zhiyou, who has a low education level, has not been affected so much.He was the first to react.He tentatively called out, "He Gong?"

It doesn't matter what he shouted, it broke the silence of the audience and woke He Fu, the magistrate of Song County.

He Fu just stood there in a daze for a while, trying to find chapters and excerpts to refute, but he didn't know where to start.

After he was woken up by Wei Zhiyou, he wanted to be angry for a while and didn't know where to turn his anger, wanted to reprimand but didn't know where to reprimand, and finally he had to let out a long sigh, as if he had aged decades in an instant.

He sighed in frustration: "I have studied hard for twenty years in vain, but I was speechless when I was refuted by ignorant young people. How can the principles of sages be wrong? I am afraid that I am not good at learning and art, and I don't know what I want." , so that the sages are humiliated!"

"At the beginning, I heard Wei Zhiyou say that you called yourself 'King Shun', and I laughed at your arrogance. How could you dare to compare yourself to a holy king? Now it seems that I am watching the sky from a well. The world is so big, There are no surprises, and those who are born to know are not lying!"

Death, He Fu doesn't want to die for the time being.Who would want to die in vain without talking about it, and be splashed with the dirty water of "sycophants" and "villains", and there is no chance to refute it.

At this time, Fu Yuren, the deputy leader, and Liu Jiangyue, the student, came to their senses and tried to command Wei Zhiyou's five hundred soldiers to force Zhang Shun to release the magistrate He Fu and Wei Zhiyou.

The so-called sub-list is relative to the main list.

During the Jiajing period, there was a sub-list for the provincial examination, and for every five candidates on the top list, an additional sub-list was admitted.Those who are on the vice list are allowed to be tribute students, but they cannot take the general examination with Juren, and can only take the next township examination.

This is the case with Fu Yuren. Although he is not considered a candidate, his status is still higher than that of the students.

Both he and Liu Jiangyue are talents that He Fu fancy. Although one is full of knowledge and the other is mature and prudent, neither of them is a shrewd and fickle generation, and it is difficult to quickly come up with a solution to the current problem.

Seeing that they were going to play hard, Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing, and shouted loudly: "I am King Shun, the leader of the thirty-six battalion. If thieves don't kill thieves, if they don't surrender at this time, when will we wait? Do you want to fight with me?" Are swords facing each other?"

 Thanks to the fan "Wang Yao's Young Guard Rabbit" for the reward, thank you for your support!
