The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 352 Hengqu Four Sentences, False Big Void, Man Will Conquer Heaven, People Have Their Own Destiny!
In the meeting hall of the Jiangning Xuanfu Division, the whole hall was dead silent.

More than a dozen guards were covered in blood, kneeling on the ground at the entrance of the hall, trembling and silent.

Zhao Tang's face was ashen, looking at these dozen people, he suddenly raised his hand and slammed the tea bowl on the table, hitting one person's forehead, the tea bowl shattered, and blood spattered.

The gentry leaders pretended not to see it, and some even lowered their heads and closed their eyes slightly.

Unexpectedly, the bandit army really came. This was their misjudgment, but the two families who went out died, and it wasn't their death. The big deal was to give up the idea of ​​leaving the city.

"The master's family was killed, why are you running back?" Zhao Tang roared angrily.

A guard trembled and said: "My lord, my lord, we have to come back to deliver the letter..."

At this time, Wang Congying coughed and said from the side: "The old man has sent messengers to follow. You didn't protect the master's family well, and lived and died with the master's family, so you actually ran away?"

His words immediately resonated with the gentry in the hall, so they stopped keeping silent, jumped out to criticize them regardless of their status, and immediately reversed the solemn silence just now, and began to make noise.

Zhao Tun slapped the table violently, the teapots and teacups all jumped to the ground and shattered, all the gentry trembled, and the hall returned to calm again.

Zhao Tong said angrily: "Come here, push them out and chop them up!"

Immediately, a team of knives and axes rushed in, tied up the dozen or so guards, and pushed them out.

Zhao Tong glanced over the crowd coldly: "Everyone, do you still want to leave the city?"

No one spoke, they all lowered their heads and looked around. After a long time, Wang Congying smiled dryly and said: "My lord, I can't get out. I was originally instigated by the Xu family and the Gao family, so I became unreasonable. Wake up, willing to live and die with Jiang Ning."

Zhao Tong's face paled slightly, and he said: "Since that's the case, everyone, go back to your residence. It's getting late now, and this king is a little tired."

All the gentry stood up and said their farewells one after another, and when they were leaving in a file, Zhao Tuo suddenly said: "I wish you grandpa."

Zhu Zhu stopped immediately, he was the only one whose surname was Zhu, he turned to look at Zhao Tong and asked, "What else can the lord tell you?"

Zhao Tong said: "Let Wu Niang come over tomorrow for a talk, I want to meet the number one talented woman in Shezhou."

Zhu Que couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart when he heard the words, his daughter has many people making up her mind, and he tried various ways to block her back before, but now that the title of Zhu Banzhou exists in name only, she can no longer hold it, let alone King Qin called go.

But what if King Qin takes a fancy to it?Zhu was in a complicated mood, he didn't want his daughter to be a concubine, he wished her daughter would be a housewife, but once she went to King Qin's side, would he still have the final say on this matter?

Seeing him standing there, Zhao Tang's expression kept changing, and he frowned and said, "Why is Grandpa Zhu hesitating? This king just wants to see Wu Niang's talents and learning."

How could Zhu really believe it? The gentry often don't count what they say to each other, and the same is true of the courtiers, let alone the royal princes. He has nothing to do if he refuses to admit what he said.

Zhu Que said: "I remember, I remember, let Wu Niang come over to the prince tomorrow morning."

Zhao Tong nodded and said nothing, the gentry next to him laughed secretly, didn't you wish Banzhou a precious daughter all the time?Now that King Qin wants it, what do you think?You, an old man, have today, so refreshing, refreshing.

Watching the gentry leave, Zhao Tang ordered tea to be served again, thinking about the empty lobby alone.

We can't kill all these people outside Jiangning City, because these people have eyeliners in Xuanzhou, Taipingzhou and other places. At present, the army of the Seven Buddhas did not fight at all. It is said that some leading scout troops robbed and killed several noble families It makes sense, if all the gentry died outside the city, it would be a big loophole.

If the main force of the bandit army didn't kill them, who killed more than 100 people in these 1 households?Who intercepted all the family wealth?There are more than [-] nobles in Jiangning City, and they are about to bleed like rivers. Except for the bandits, who else has the ability to do such insane things?Even a fool would know that it was he, King Qin, who did it!
Not all of these gentry are in Jiangning City, and all the officials in the clan are in office. When those outside eyeliners go to report the news, or these people come to search, they will be properly exposed.

So Zhao Tang didn't intend to kill them all outside. On the one hand, the people he sent were to kill the early birds, forcing them not to dare to leave, and on the other hand, they were to plot against Fang Qifo...

Let's say that when Zhu Que went home, it was already dark at night, and none of the people in the clan had a rest. They all packed up their things and waited in the inner courtyard to leave the city.

Zhu Que shook his head and said, "Go back, you can't leave!"

Seeing that his complexion was not good, Sangong said angrily, "Could it be that the King of Qin refused to open the city?"

Zhu Que sneered and said: "The bandit soldiers have already arrived ten miles outside the city, and the two families that went out first were killed. Do you still want to go out, old man?"

Sangong was immediately dumbfounded, Zhu Que flicked his robe sleeves and walked straight to the living room, halfway through he suddenly stopped and said, "Tell Wu Niang to come and see me!"

He went to the living room and sat down. A servant girl made tea. After a while, a girl came in and said softly, "Daddy, is your name daughter?"

Zhu Que raised his head to look at the girl, and saw that she looked like a fairy in the moon palace, with a quiet and elegant demeanor, and a faint bookish look between her brows.

Looking at his own daughter, Zhu Que couldn't help but sighed in his heart, and said, "Wu Niang, King Qin wants to see you."

The girl's expression didn't change when she heard the words, but she asked instead: "Father, my daughter just heard that Fang La's rebellious army has arrived outside the city, can't they leave the city now?"

Zhu Que nodded, and then told the story of going to the Xuanfu Department to discuss tonight, and the two families left first, but were robbed and killed by Fang La's army on the road.

After hearing this, the girl thought for a while, then raised her eyebrows slightly, and said: "Father, what is the King of Qin calling me for?"

Zhu Zhen said: "It is said that she is the number one talented woman in Shezhou for a long time, and she wants to meet her. It seems that it is not that simple for her father. I don't know where I learned that Wu Niang has an outstanding appearance. She is coveted. Seeing it makes a bad plan."

The girl shook her head when she heard the words: "My daughter knows about this man, the King of Qin, so I'm afraid he's not so superficial."

Zhu Que wondered, "Could it be that you really want to chat with Wu Niang about articles and knowledge, and do some elegant things?"

The girl pondered and said: "Since this person is not superficial, how could he have other thoughts when discussing articles and knowledge when soldiers are approaching the city?"

Zhu Que frowned and said: "No matter what you have in mind, as long as you don't get Wu Niang's idea, he has opened the mansion for several years, and he will definitely marry a princess. Although I wish the family is damaged now, I will definitely not let my daughter go to give it to her." If a person is small, even a prince can't do it!"

The girl blushed slightly, and then said: "Father is serious, I think the King of Qin must have other intentions, and I will find out when my daughter checks out tomorrow."

Zhu Que nodded: "Let's go back and have a good rest. Be careful after tomorrow. After all, he is the man in charge of the army. I don't frown when I see him killing people today. He may not be as elegant as you heard. Then you must protect yourself." .”

The girl was extremely ashamed immediately, and hurriedly bowed and left.

Early the next morning, Zhao Tun saw some military information, and was about to go to the city for a walk, when someone came to report that Shezhou Zhu's family and Zhu Xiuniang begged to see him.

It turned out to be Xiu Niang?Zhao Tong nodded, knowing that it was Zhu Wuniang. Generally speaking, the daughters of families with a family have a large size, and unless they are particularly lazy, they will directly be named after the ranking.

He said, "Please go to the study."

This Xuanfu Department was originally the Department of Peace and Envoy of Jiangnan East Road, and it was Wang Hanzhi's official office. After Zhao Tun came, he was directly changed to Xuanfu Department and lived here.

Zhao Yuannu did not come to Jiangning, but stayed in Yangzhou. After all, on the one hand, Jiangnan is not stable, and war may not happen at any time. On the other hand, she also wants to live in Yangzhou. up.

Zhao Tong went to the study room, but it was bigger and grander than his study room in Tokyo Prince's Mansion. There were many books in it, and there were guest and guest seats in the middle, which seemed similar to a small hall.

A moment after sitting down, Ding Daxie reported outside: "My lord, Wu Niang of the Zhu family has arrived."

Zhao Tong said: "Just come in." He really wanted to see what this talented woman who cultivated the so-called "Master of Neo-Confucianism" looks like.

As he finished speaking, a young girl walked in outside, and Zhao Tang raised her eyebrows to look carefully.

I saw that the girl was neither tall nor short, her figure was neither slender nor plump, her eyebrows looked like distant mountains with black daisies, her eyes were like waves of autumn water, her skin was like beautiful jade, and her face was full of peaches and plums. interest.

The girl Wanfu said: "Minister Zhu Xiuniang, I have met His Royal Highness King Qin."

Zhao Tong said: "Raise your head."

Zhu Xiuniang raised her head slightly, her gaze was neither humble nor overbearing, four eyes met, Zhao Tang squinted her eyes, Zhu Xiuniang lowered her head again.

Zhao Tun laughed and said, "Sit down and talk."

Zhu Xiuniang said: "There is a difference between honor and inferiority, etiquette and righteousness are correct, and women of the people cannot sit."

Zhao Tang took a deep breath and said: "There is a priority in hearing the Tao, and those who have mastered it first, don't judge the superiority by status."

Zhu Xiuniang gave another salute: "Since the prince regards learning as his way, women dare not obey orders."

Zhao Tun smiled, but thought in his heart, what's wrong with this?Are you crazy about reading?Let you sit down, but also have to reason with you?
At this time, tea was served outside and each was placed on the table. Zhao Tang said: "I heard that Xiuniang is very talented and has learned all over Jiangdong. I specially called for a meeting. I want to hear some real knowledge. I don't know if Xiuniang can fulfill my king's wish?"

Zhu Xiuniang said: "My lord wants to discuss studies?"

Zhao Tong nodded: "Which family did Xiuniang learn from?"

Zhu Xiuniang said: "Minnv has learned the knowledge of Mr. Hengqu since she was a child."

The five sons of Neo-Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhou Dunyi, Shao Yong, Zhang Zai, Cheng Hao, and Cheng Yi.

Zhou Dunyi is the founding master of Neo-Confucianism, and the other four are the founders of Neo-Confucianism.

From Zhao Tun's personal point of view, Confucianism is no longer true Confucianism, and there are many places in it that run counter to true Confucianism.

The study of the Master changed from Dong Zhongshu to Neo-Confucianism from the Song and Ming Dynasties, and was castrated twice, which lost its true meaning long ago.

Especially Neo-Confucianism, Song Neo-Confucianism mixed with Taoist thought, Ming Dynasty Neo-Confucianism blended with Buddhist thought, the core meanings are far from the teachings of the Master.

And who is the master?He is 1.9 meters tall, strong enough to lift city gates, and a strong man who is proficient in bow, horse, sword and spear!

Which of these so-called Neo-Confucian masters can do it?

If it is said that this is a natural talent, then how can we say that he is calm in the face of temptation?
Which of the five sons of the Northern Song Dynasty is possible?Not to mention the youngest son of Zhu Song's family who later tempted a nun to be a concubine and picked up ashes and got pregnant with his daughter-in-law.

Neo-Confucianism is also called Daoism, and later generations sometimes call some Confucian teachers false Daoism, but in fact Daoism is far from the Confucianism of the Master.

Zhang Zai...Zhao Tun was silent for a while at this moment, he didn't expect that Zhu Xiuniang was learning from Zhang Hengqu, not Ercheng.

He said: "Why don't you learn Ming Dao Yi Chuan?"

Cheng Hao is called Mr. Mingdao, and Cheng Yi is called Mr. Yichuan.

Zhu Xiuniang saw that Zhao Tang was not polite when he mentioned these great scholars, and she didn't even say a word about Mr., so she fell silent.

Er Cheng is from this dynasty, Zhao Tuo is the royal prince, the first rank in the dynasty, according to his status, although it is okay to be disrespectful to the two, but the problem is that Zhao Tuo is also a scholar, which is a bit wrong.

Confucianism has Confucian rules, the first thing is to respect the teacher and respect the way. Zhao Tong is a scholar, so it seems a bit too much to be disrespectful to the two great Confucians.

Zhu Xiuniang thought to herself, this King of Qin is a little too arrogant. Although he can be called a great master in poetry, it is a small way after all. The so-called leader of the literary world is only a literary world. How could one's own school of thought be so arrogant?

"Although the two gentlemen's studies are exquisite and profound, they are not compatible with Minnv. Minnv and Mr. Hengqu's emptiness and qi are compatible, so they learn from Mr. Hengqu."

Confucianism pays attention to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. A true Confucian master will teach different knowledge according to the different personalities and strengths of each person. The theory is the same. There are many Confucian theories. If someone wants to learn from a teacher, he will choose the knowledge that is similar to his own thinking.

"Too emptiness is qi..." Zhao Tong nodded, this is Zhang Zai's summary of the development of the thought of "Qi monism".

Zhou Dunyi, as the originator of Neo-Confucianism, is represented by "Tai Chi Diagram Theory", Shao Yong is the theory of "Xiang" and "Number", Zhang Zai developed the theory of "Qi Monism" as "Taixu is Qi", Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi took the spiritual "Li" as the core theory.

"Let's listen to it!" Zhao Tang looked at Zhu Xiuniang and said.

At this moment, Zhu Xiuniang could already see that the king of Qin in front of him was disrespectful to several great Confucian scholars, and he could feel from his tone that he also disdained the doctrine that he regarded as a treasure.

She couldn't help feeling a little conflicted in her heart, and even more suspicious that the reason why Zhao Tun called her here was definitely not because she heard that she was beautiful and wanted to occupy her, let alone discuss some knowledge with her, so what exactly did he want to do?
Seeing King Qin's condescending appearance, she was a little angry, but she always had an elegant and indifferent temperament, and her face did not show it at all, so she quietly began to talk about learning.

Zhao Tang sat there listening to her talk without interrupting, just drinking tea, with a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth from time to time, in Zhu Xiuniang's eyes, it was very contemptuous of her knowledge.

For half an hour, Zhu Xiuniang explained all the theories she understood, mixed with many of her own thoughts and opinions, and then said: "Mr. To continue the unique learning and create peace for all generations, this should be the goal of a scholar's life."

"Build a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and bring peace to all generations?" Zhao Tang suddenly laughed, and looked at Zhu Xiuniang playfully.

No matter how demure Zhu Xiuniang was, she couldn't help being a little angry at the moment, and asked, "Why are you laughing, my lord?"

Zhao Tang looked at her, and said word by word: "The so-called four sentences of Hengqu are nothing but fake, big, empty, and empty!"

"My lord, you..." Zhu Xiuniang's body trembled, she didn't expect Zhao Tun to say such offensive words.

"Isn't this king right?" Zhao Tong sneered and said, "Such words are nothing but falsehood."

"Minnie thinks it's wrong. This is the motto of our scholars, the light on the way to study, and the goal of scholars!" Zhu Xiuniang argued hard, no one had ever said such arrogant words, even if he was a prince. It doesn't work either.

"Any slogan without a program is useless, it's all just for the moment, it's all empty and empty!" Zhao Tang took a sip from the tea bowl and said coldly.

"What... is the program?" Zhu Xiuniang wanted to refute Zhao Tun, but when she heard a word she couldn't understand, she asked in amazement.

"The program is the specific plan and strategy to realize the slogan. Hengqu's four sentences are so great, but how can we establish a heart for the world, a life for the people, and peace for the eternal?" Zhao Tuo put down the tea bowl: " Just by studying? Just by studying Zhang Hengqu’s knowledge? Just by chanting these four sentences every day, sitting on a chair with agitated mood and blood boiling, can we bring peace to all generations?”

"This..." Zhu Xiuniang was speechless.

"Man is determined to conquer the sky, the people have their own destiny, the blue comes out of the blue, and the present is peaceful!" Zhao Tong said slowly, but every sentence seemed to hit Zhu Xiuniang's heart like a giant hammer, completely overturning what she had learned for more than ten years. His thoughts were surging like a tide, and he was completely stunned for a moment.
