Delicious Lady: Lord Wolf, please enter the urn

Chapter 160 Insolent
"There is no certainty in officialdom."

The eighth uncle, Yang Shouchi, took a sip of tea, his face was indifferent, and there was no expression, but there was a sense of honor and disgrace in it.

"Sister Yue and Lord Leng have made an engagement. This is the best thing."

Man Yue's heart trembled, and then she revealed a guilty look and said, "It's all because of Man Yue's fault that it hurt Ba Shu's official career."

"What nonsense?"

Yang Shouchi shook his head, and then showed a gratified smile, "You are very talented to think of this at a young age. But you don't have to feel guilty about this. I was already disheartened about my official career, and I got up and left a long time ago. Thought, it's good that way, when you marry into the Leng family, Lord Hou will feel more sorry for you because of it, it's a good thing for our Yang family."

After finishing speaking, he let out a long sigh and said: "Although the reform is good, some of the good rules of the ancestors are gone. Now that the Queen's Party is fighting with the Emperor's Party, it's better for us to be wise and protect ourselves."

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "Leng Yun is a smart man. He seems to be exiled from the capital, but he is actually taking a step back. He will surely recover in the future."

Man Yue couldn't help sighing, and said: "The eighth uncle is just in his prime, the age to display his ambitions and ambitions, these words are depressing and heart-wrenching to hear."

Yang Shouchi laughed, "It's not a good thing for you to be so thoughtful at such a young age."

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Good boy, although I was not born by your grandmother, my biological mother passed away after giving birth to me. She was raised by your grandmother's side. She is about the same age as your father. The relationship at home It is more intimate. You have suffered all these years, and you are so uncle. I don’t blame you. It’s just that you are all your own family now, why bother to work so hard?”

Man Yue blushed, thinking in her heart that she deserved to be a Jinshi and an official, rather sharp.

Touching his nose, he said, "I feel guilty for implicating Eighth Uncle Man Yue."

"Little slicker."

Uncle Ba chuckled lightly, and patted Man Yue on the head a few times, "It's true that you're guilty, but you're not that guilty. After all, it's been a short time since you've been home, and your friendship isn't deep yet."

"Uncle Ba is a man of true temperament, Man Yue is ashamed."

This remark sounded cruel, but it was really embarrassing to see that the eighth uncle was sincere, and Man Yue was punctured.

"Ha ha."

Uncle Ba stroked his beard and laughed, "Don't be embarrassed, this is human nature."

As soon as the words came out, Man Yue knew that Ba Shu was also a member of Wang Xue, and couldn't help asking: "Ba Shu, do you learn from the heart?"

Uncle Ba raised his eyebrows and said, "Girl is also involved in the study of mind?"

Man Yue shook her head, "I just listened to Mr. Mancang say a few words occasionally."

"Ha ha."

Yang Shouyan laughed and said: "Manyue, what we learn is like the study of the mind but not the study of the mind. Neo-Confucianism talks about life and seeks utility, and preserves the principles of heaven to destroy human desires. It is said to be the inner sage and the outer king; but the study of the mind is the unity of knowledge and action. To put it bluntly, it is close to Zen..."

He took a sip of tea, and suddenly said something similar to an exclamation, "But all these years, you have been fighting for me to appear on the stage. If it wasn't for external damage, maybe it would be... Sigh!"

Yang Manyue's hairs stood on end.

Only then did she realize that she had underestimated the heroes of the world. No wonder Leng Yun always said that she was only clever and too immature.

For the first time, she realized that her uncle, who seemed to be a nice guy, was not a simple person.

And she also understands why the Yang family has such strength, but there are very few people who have entered the official career. With such a thought, it is estimated that people in the court will regard it as a scourge!
With a trace of fear in his heart, he asked cautiously: "Could it be that what my Yang family learned is Yongjia's learning?"

"Ah."

Uncle Ba laughed, "You also know Yongjia's learning?"

There was a tangled look on Man Yue's face, but her heart was already filled with excitement!

After thinking for a while, he said: "Yongjia's learning is also called Zhe learning, which flourished in the Southern Song Dynasty. It advocates utilitarianism at the expense of life, and is also called the learning of meritorious deeds."

After a pause, he continued: "It's just that the most obvious studies are Neo-Confucianism now, and my Yang family's pursuit of Zhejiang studies may be criticized."

After finishing speaking, he sighed again, and said: "Highly talented but not yet learned, arrogant but not calm, sage on the outside and king on the inside, sage on the inside and king outside, these are nothing more than what the superiors use."

Eighth Uncle's pupils suddenly shrank, secretly surprised.

It is surprising that my little niece knows about Yongjia's school, because during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, this school has been broken on the surface, and the Ming Dynasty has been crowned for hundreds of years, and most people only know how to talk about it. It is the way of the inner sage and the outer king; the only few people who practiced the outer sage and the inner king and made achievements ended up in tragedy, the most famous one is Zhang Juzheng.

The so-called sage on the outside and king on the inside actually means that the interests of the country should be put first, and moral cultivation should come second; while the sage inside and the king advocated by Neo-Confucianism are just the opposite.

Self-cultivation, regulating the family, governing the country and the world can be seen from this sentence.

Virtue comes first, and peace comes last.

In fact, Confucianism, as far as the full moon is concerned, many of them are misinterpretations of later generations.

In other words, they raised Confucius as a saint, and then made various interpretations for the convenience of ruling.That's why Confucianism has so many differences.

But what is certain is that virtue is one of the central issues repeatedly described and emphasized by Confucianism.

Comparing virtue and wealth, merit and benefit, put forward the idea of ​​"virtue is the source of wealth", although from the perspective of all Confucian strategies for governing the country, there are also "be rich first and then teach", "those who have permanent property have perseverance", etc. The idea of ​​emphasizing the economic foundation, but in general, the tendency of emphasizing spirituality over material, advocating morality and suppressing money is still very prominent.

So it is not unreasonable that Neo-Confucianism can become prominent.

At least from these theories, it is called seeing a person feel comfortable.

Do you want to govern the country well?sure!Then you have to take care of your own home first!How do you make your family happy?Naturally, it is self-cultivation!If your family is not harmonious, it must be because you have a problem. You can’t practice at home!
Words are good, but they can only be used as a criterion for personal cultivation; if it is put on national affairs, it will be a great disadvantage!

You have to be moral in everything, how can you govern the country well?
For example, a junior high school student in later generations will know the truth that "a weak country has no diplomacy" and "there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests". But in these years, if you dare to say such words, you will be beaten to death!

What a joke!I have to have a strong enough reason to fight other countries, right?How can we beat people because they borrowed money from us and don't pay it back?

So under this fucking theory, after Neo Confucianism prevailed, China became more and more closed and weaker.

It is the villain who speaks powerfully, which is the core tenet of Neo Confucianism!How can the country be governed with such a fucking thought?

So Yang Shouchi was a little surprised.

She is a young girl who already understands the science of mind, how can it not be surprising that she understands Neo-Confucianism to such an extent?
In fact, Yang Shouchi didn't know that there were creatures like timetravelers in the world, let alone creatures with strong learning and logic abilities.Therefore, Miss Yang, who has only been in Daming for half a year, already has some superficial understanding of Confucianism after combining history and previous life knowledge.

For example, she knows the past and present of the various schools of thought, and knows that Yangming's School of Mind was born out of Lu Jiuyuan's School of Mind, which is the same mind school but different. In fact, it depends on what Wang Yangming and Zhang Juzheng did. Their behavior is more like that of the Yongjia School.

The Yongjia School attached great importance to historical research, especially practicality, and put forward materialistic viewpoints such as "Tao in things".

And this attitude is the same as the ideological education received by Man Yue in her previous life, so while dealing with it cautiously, she still expressed her attitude in a subtle way.

This expression made the two uncles feel unbelievable, Yang Shouyan said suspiciously: "Manyue, are you talking about Chen Liang?"

Full Moon nodded, "This person was also considered an outstanding person in the Song Dynasty. He advocated meritorious deeds, but in the end..."

The words did not go on, and the wise people understood after hearing this.

It's just that after realizing it, I was a little frustrated, "The study of the heart can't become a study of the heart, and my study is even more reviled as heresy. If you want to use it to charm you, you absolutely can't."

"Manyue absolutely disagrees with my uncle's words!"

When Man Yue saw her uncle and uncle like this, she knew that she had found a comrade.

Straightforwardly, he said: "Everything in the world is for profit. No matter what you learn, it can't be separated from the word profit. Isn't it beneficial to cultivate one's health and gain fame?"

After taking a sip of tea, he said, "If our deeds can bring benefits to the people, the country, and the superior, why worry about not being able to travel freely in the world?!"

When Yang Shouyan heard this, he took a sip of tea and didn't spit it out. He said so arrogantly, is this crazy? !
Yang Shouchi drank his tea quietly, seemingly calm, but just from his trembling little fingers, he knew how hard he was enduring at the moment.

If it wasn't for the fact that this cheap niece has always been reliable, I'm afraid she would have left at this moment!
People can be proud, but they can't be arrogant, let alone arrogant, otherwise they will look too stupid.

"Why are uncle and uncle looking at me like this?"

Man Yue smiled and said, "But do you think Man Yue is arrogant?"

She paused and said: "In two days, Mr. Yuxi from Song's Bookstore will come to discuss with me about the candidate for the deputy editor-in-chief. Uncle, Uncle Eighth, do you think that if we put a few people in, we will use such a sharp weapon? How about carrying it forward and making it what we have learned?"

Yang Shouchi's eyes lit up, "Eleven Niang, what do you mean?"

"When Mu Shi left, he once said that it is not appropriate for me to come forward about the editor-in-chief. I only want to fight for the position of deputy editor-in-chief and editor. I will think about it for a full moon. This matter is very good!"

"Ah."

Yang Shouyan thought for a while and said: "Leng Mushi is worthy of being a minister of Tuogu. He is thoughtful and meticulous, which is beyond our comparison."

Uncle Ba also nodded, "Song Yuxi represents my Zhedong Wang School. Although Wang Xue is not as good as Neo-Confucianism today, it can still stand up to it. If they come forward and sell well, it will be beneficial to us."

"It's a good way to cultivate the plank road, and to cross the Chencang secretly!"

Uncle couldn't help admiring, "When he became famous at a young age, people in the world only thought he was a vulgar martial artist, but they didn't know that he was as delicate as a hair, and he was a man of few words but a man of action. It is a great fortune for my Yang family to be married to him!"
