I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 621 New Analects

There is a saying in later generations called brainstorming.

This time the cabinet ministers came into contact with Zhao Xi's theoretical system in the martial arts hall, which should be the beginning of the brainstorming of the courtiers and ministers, and it is a big move to unify and emancipate the mind.With such a process, it can be regarded as the beginning of the Song Dynasty's transformation.

It's hard to say whether this is a false attack, or Zhao Xi's plan.It is a long process for any academic to be generally accepted and praised.Whether it is Zhang Zai’s Guan Xue, Zhou Dunyi’s and Er Cheng’s Neo Confucianism, including Wang Anshi’s Xin Xue, Shao Yong’s Mathematics, etc., the reason why they have formed a large scale in the country and are called a school of thought is the result of long-term teaching. It was learned and promoted by the Shilin literary world.

With Zhao Xi's status, he is doomed to not be able to concentrate on his studies... that will be criticized by his ministers.

In fact, Zhao Xi's set of theories in the lecture hall is not aimed at the academic commentaries and interpretations of the sages, but more like academics aimed at the administration of officials in the country and dynasty, which is not applicable to the scholarly literary world.

However, human beings are inherently humble.

If Zhao Xi promotes his academics on his own, or uses the power of the royal family or the king to force his theories to prevail in the country, then it will inevitably lead to unanimous resistance from the entire scholarly literary world.

However, Zhao Xi didn't, and it even seemed to be a situation of self-preservation in form.However, the appearance of court offices such as the workshop city and the state-run temple, as well as the manifestation of the loyalty of the new army, have made today's courts pay close attention to the education of the martial arts hall in awe.

When Zhao Xi mentioned rotation training to Fu Bi, Fu Bi took the opportunity to ask for the opening of the doctrine of the martial arts hall, which is a specific choice under a specific situation.Therefore, driven by the low nature of human beings, the teachings of the martial arts hall were recited with the enthusiasm of the courtiers.

voluntary.But Zhao Xi is convinced that materialist dialectics will make these so-called elites indulge in it and eventually accept it.

"On the one hand, there is morality, then there is meritorious service, and secondly there is meritorious service. Although it will not be abandoned for a long time, these are called the three immortals. The official family leader Da Song Zhongxing, set the rules for officials, and then wrote this theory of enlightenment. It can be called the merit of immortality. and also!"

This is a sentence that Ouyang Xiu mentioned many times when discussing the teachings of the martial arts hall with others.Similarly, it is also a sentence that is generally recognized by the court today.

"Officials and veterans think that it is inappropriate to train in the martial arts hall in rotation. The rotation training in political affairs cannot deeply understand the teachings in the short term, and there are disadvantages of delaying political affairs in the long run. Therefore, it is not appropriate to allow the martial arts hall to train in rotation in the political discussion hall. The imperial court should follow the original promotion of officials Accept the teaching method of the martial arts hall."

It is very solemn to say that all the cabinet ministers participated, and Fu Bi suggested.

Zhao Xi is waiting for Fu Bi's but, there should be a but.These days the cabinet ministers are paying attention to his so-called theoretical system in Jiangwutang, and Zhao Xi knows the specific situation.

"However, the veteran has discussed with the cabinet. The cabinet believes that the official theoretical system should not be limited to the professors in the martial arts hall, but should be compiled into a book, disseminated to court officials at all levels, and allowed to study in the scholarly literary circle. At the same time, the minister and others suggested that , this should be determined as an official study, and it should be considered as an examination question for the Dabi!"

But here it is, even Zhao Xi didn't dare to think about it.Regarding the enthusiasm of the cabinet during this period, Zhao Xi thought about the possibility of compiling it into a book, circulating it internally, and promoting it to the officials of the country... It should be said that such conditions are met now.

As for using such a theory as the topic of the court competition... Zhao Xi really didn't think about it.

He still remembered that the original court debate was nothing more than a dispute between various schools of thought in the Dabi interpretation.Zhao Xi never dared to treat the fragments of words that Zhao Xi extracted from his memory as a systematic theory...
"You elders think it's feasible?"

Once it becomes the topic of the competition, it indicates that this segmental theory of materialist dialectics will spread widely among the dynasties, and even many countries throughout the era.

"I think it's feasible!"

This time the entire cabinet is pronounced simultaneously.

Forget it, let's see if it works.Zhao Xi was still a little nervous.From the beginning of the guard camp, Zhao Xi has been talking about something intentionally or unintentionally, which is not written at all, let alone a book.

The so-called theoretical system, which is preserved in the Martial Arts Hall, is recorded by Zhao Xi when he was chatting at the beginning, and some are written by Zhao Xi himself.This is also the reason why it has not been considered systematic.The point is, in his own mind, there is no complete system.

Many times, Zhao Xi casually borrowed some words from later generations when he was chatting or was aiming at something.For example, the only constant is change itself.For example, objective existence is independent of human will.For example, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth and so on.

Zhao Xi never taught these words according to the theory, but just the living room, or the habit of recording by Han Zhen, Lu Gongzhu, Wang Tao and others in the original guard camp.There are too many concluding words with classic significance in later generations, and Zhao Xi brings them out from time to time. The accumulation of so many years is really not small.

As for the system... Zhao Xi really didn't do anything for it, it was a so-called theory formed naturally.

Zhao Xi still underestimated the thirst for knowledge of this era, and even underestimated the single-mindedness of this era.Zhao Xi was really surprised when the Jiangwu Hall submitted the contents compiled into a book for Zhao Xi to review.

What should this be?New Analects?I thought too much, but in fact, the content compiled into a book led by Ouyang Xiu is indeed in the form of "The Analects of Confucius".

For example, in the former guard battalion martial arts training, Zhao Xi said in a chat that it was a matter of muscle memory. He talked about conditioned reflexes, and said that excessive changes lead to qualitative changes.The content compiled into the book almost restores the original dialogue or chatting situation, according to the format of "The Analects", some of Zhao Xi's occasional words are annotated...
For example, when Zhao Xi talked about firearms with Su Song, he talked about the change of matter, the form of matter, and even the problem of gunpowder changing the nature of matter after burning or explosion, because the problem of musket barrels once extended to Expansion with heat and contraction with cold...
For example, Zhao Xi once commented on the strategic situation of Beiliao, Xixia, and Guochao in the old guard camp. During the period, he talked about the content that the environment affects people, and people create the environment...

For example, when Zhao Xi talked about the relationship between civil and military, he once borrowed the topic that barbarism is its body and civilization is its spirit, and so on.All of this has been recorded and is now in the form of "The Analects of Confucius".

What really surprised Zhao Xi was that Ouyang Xiu took Su Zhe and Zhang Dun, and the civil officials of the lecture hall, sorted out these contents, and compiled them into a book!
What is even more astonishing is that based on his familiarity with the collection of classics and history, Ouyang Xiu found a corresponding foothold for Zhao Xi's vernacular, so that all Zhao Xi's speeches had the basis to interpret the collection of classics and history, and rose to the level of one family.At the same time, these theories of Zhao Xi are more inclined to governance.

Only then did the cabinet ministers strongly advocate the promotion of Zhao Xi's academics.
