Chapter 223: Abandoning Song Confucianism and Learning from Han Confucianism (10,000 words, additional chapters for Alliance Leader Yunge's fans)



There are so many things he can do! It’s impossible not to be excited when thinking about it.

Although it may be a bit shameless to do so, can anything in this world be accomplished with shamelessness?

Besides, we Confucians have always been adaptable, and learning from others' strengths is also our strength.

Forcing himself to calm down, Feng Congwu looked up at Zhang Yu and said calmly, "Have you told Han Yu about this?"

The key point of this matter lies in Han Yu. If he agrees, everything will be easy; if he does not agree, then this matter will definitely be difficult to handle.

Because in order to do this, you need the support of His Majesty. And to get His Majesty's support, you must first come before His Majesty, or at least have someone introduce you.

In this situation, Han Yu's recommendation was extremely important, so Feng Congwu asked this question. Without Han Yu's recommendation, they would not be able to accomplish anything.

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "As long as you agree, I'm confident I can convince Han Yu."

This is not nonsense from Zhang Yu, but he really has confidence.

Given Han Yu's current situation, he urgently needs to make his position clear and also urgently needs someone to support him. These people are the most suitable, and Han Yu is definitely willing to accept this position.

Why was Han Yu willing to accept it?

The reason is very simple. From the beginning to the end, my school has always followed His Majesty.

The first point is pragmatic, that is, it is flattering Your Majesty. Of the following points, which one is not of interest to Your Majesty?

In addition, the abolition of Song Confucianism and the promotion of Han and Tang Confucianism directly swept Neo-Confucianism into the trash heap.

Regardless of your Neo-Confucianism or the School of Mind, you are all Song Confucianists; Song Confucianists are doomed, useless. If you weren't doomed, if you weren't useless, how could you have been defeated by the Yuan Dynasty? How could you have been bullied so much by the Liao and Jin dynasties?

It's all your fault that the Song Dynasty was ruined. You have to wear this hat whether you want to or not.

Our Ming Dynasty was different. Our Ming Dynasty Emperor Taizu was wise and brave. He emerged from nowhere as a commoner, drove out the barbarians, restored China, established rules and regulations, and saved the people.

How could such a huge emperor and such a powerful empire learn from the Confucian scholars of the Song Dynasty?

Our Ming Dynasty has been so weak for so many years, with unrest on the border and insufficient national funds. It is all your fault, the Song Confucians.

At this point, we should put things right. How can we still imitate the Confucian scholars of the Song Dynasty?

We should learn from the Confucian scholars of the Han and Tang dynasties.

As for the differences between the Confucianism of the Han and Tang dynasties, they must have the characteristics of our Ming Dynasty and conform to the actual situation of our Ming Dynasty. If everything is to be the same as that of the Han and Tang dynasties, then wouldn't the Ming Dynasty be the same as the Han and Tang dynasties?

How can we, the Ming Dynasty, just copy the Han and Tang dynasties? We must surpass them!

With such thoughts, Zhang Yu did not believe that he would disagree with His Majesty. At the same time, he could also tell His Majesty that if you have any disagreements, just talk about it. It is not impossible to discuss it. Just propose it and we will do it.

Song Yingsheng glanced at Zhang Yu. He felt that Zhang Yu's words were too shameless.

Seeing Feng Congwu's eagerness to try, Song Yingsheng knew that Zhang Yu might succeed again. He still said, "If that's the case, won't we be the same as them?"

Song Yingsheng's words hit the nail on the head. If we're just like them, why not let them do it?

Zhang Yu glanced at Song Yingsheng and felt a little confused.

Didn't Feng Congwu see it? Of course he saw it, but the interests involved were too great.

On the one hand, he will become the leader of a school of thought, and his official rank will be greatly promoted. By then, his reputation among the people will be unrivaled, his official position will be unrivaled, and his name will be recorded in history.

In the face of such interests, everything else can be put aside. What do you mean by "I am the same as them"? Can I do the same as them?

However, considering Song Yingsheng's personality, Zhang Yu was not surprised at all that he asked this question.

"How can they be the same?" Zhang Yu said sullenly, "Those people are just scheming for power and gain, not for the Ming Dynasty or the country."

"For example, those who propose promoting Xunzi's thought, do they really believe in him? They don't. They do this simply for the sake of their own official positions."

"But we are different. We are fighting for the Ming Dynasty, for this country. The Ming Dynasty has been established for over two hundred years, and now it has reached a point where it must change. But how to change? This has always been a problem. In this world, who else but us can do it?"

Song Yingsheng glanced at Zhang Yu. He really wanted to ask him, "I don't know what other people believe in or study, but you studied the art of diplomacy, didn't you? You say you're a Confucian, but who would believe you?"

"Yes, that's right. It's time for us to take action!" Song Yingxing stood up and said loudly, his face full of excitement.

Glancing at his brother, Song Yingsheng shook his head helplessly. He had no way of stopping what was happening.

There is one thing he can still accept, that is, he can add a lot of things himself, and he can also express his own ideas and academic ideas.

If that time really came, things would be much easier to handle. So Song Yingsheng did not stand up to object.

Seeing that Song Yingsheng had no objection, Zhang Yu was relieved. He turned to look at Feng Congwu and asked, "Now that we have come to this point, what do you think, sir?"

After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Feng Congwu knew that it was time for him to express his opinion.

If I don't express my stance now, then this matter will not be accomplished, and after I go back, they will go to find Han Yu and sell me out.
