Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 80 Zhu Xi is just a sanctimonious hypocrite! It’s okay if you don’t learn Confucianism!

"The most disgusting thing is Zhu Xi who proposed this idea."

"This man is a sanctimonious hypocrite."

Ye Xuan said.

Historically, Zhu Xi has many positive records and very few negative records, but if you look for them, you can still find clues.

Zhu Xi is a sanctimonious hypocrite.

It can be seen from some clues.

He advocated preserving natural principles and destroying human desires.

However, as the person who proposed this point of view, he did not abide by the point of view he proposed, did not suppress his desires at all, and his private life was extremely dissolute.

It is no wonder that Zhu Xi was attacked by his political opponents.

It is normal for a person like Zhu Xi, who is hypocritical and pretentious, with bad thoughts, morals, and lifestyle, to be harassed by his political opponents.

And everything is crucial.

He was almost beheaded.

Among Zhu Xi's "six sins and ten major sins", six "917" sins include disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence, justice, disrespect, and humility.

The ten major crimes are disloyal to the country, disrespectful to the king, taking nani as a concubine, having a wife become pregnant without a husband, harming religious traditions, false learning and rebellion against the party, illicit personal wealth, insulting the court, etc.

Zhu Xi's unfilial piety refers to Zhu Xi eating the good rice himself and letting his mother eat the chaff.

So unworthy of man.

His mother worked hard to raise him.

However, he did so.

It's really unfilial.

Disloyalty to the country refers to the burial of Emperor Xiaozong of Song Dynasty. Originally, according to regulations, Emperor Xiaozong of Song Dynasty should be buried in Kuaiji. However, Jiuxi had objections.

All civil and military officials and the emperor agreed.

You disagree.

What exactly does it mean?

Song Xiaozong and the Manchu civil and military officials were dissatisfied.

In addition, Zhu Xi discussed the temple system arbitrarily.

Therefore, he is considered disloyal to the country.

As for Zhu Xi harming moral education, it is because Zhu Xi violated morals and corrupted customs.

Zhu Xi was a lustful person.

It is clear that he wants to destroy people.

However, he, the person who proposed this point of view, did not have any thoughts of killing others, and even took two nuns as concubines.

Just seduce the nun.

Moreover, Zhu Xi also married many concubines.

Even his daughter-in-law was not spared.

Zhu Xi's son died.

He left behind a daughter-in-law.

A housewife becomes pregnant without a husband.

It refers to the fact that Zhu Xi's daughter-in-law lost her husband but became pregnant. All the evidence points to Zhu Xi. Zhu Xi was so lustful that he would not let go of the nuns, so it must be him who made his daughter-in-law pregnant.

Zhu Xi also did things like being jealous of prostitutes.

Even his younger brother, Zhu Xi, was not spared.

After his brother's death, Zhu Xi forced his widowed sister-in-law to marry and seized his brother's property.

Zhu Xi had previously advised the wife of a deceased friend to remain chaste and not marry.

However, when it came to my sister-in-law, things changed.

He directly forced his widowed sister-in-law to get married.

For the property of his deceased brother.

Zhu Xi's hypocrisy can be seen from here.

Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism is idealism, and its main focus is on internal cultivation. However, those who proposed to destroy human desires have not been able to suppress their own desires at all, and their inner beings are extremely ugly.

Lustful.

greedy.

Unjust to a brother.

Treat parents unfilially.

Disloyal to the country.

Treating the emperor disrespectfully and so on.

These charges were all impeached by Zhu Xi's political opponents. Except for the two charges that would make him lose his head, that is, being disloyal to the country and disrespecting the emperor, Zhu Xi euphemistically admitted all the other charges.

There is a problem.

Zhu Xi felt so guilty.

I am afraid that these accusations made by political opponents to impeach Zhu Xi are probably true.

Zhu Xi, a moralist, had problems with his character, and it went beyond that.

in history.

In order to suppress his opponents, Zhu Xi did extremely extreme things.

One day, he heard that a political opponent was staying with an official prostitute, so he quickly led people there, hoping to get both the person and the stolen goods. However, his political opponent ran fast and was not caught.

Only the official prostitute was there.

Zhu Xi could not.

The only option was to arrest the official prostitute and torture her severely.

I want the official prostitute to admit that the political enemy and the official prostitute have done something harmonious.

However, the official prostitute would rather die than surrender.

Zhu Xi was dirty by himself.

He thinks that everyone in the world is as dirty as himself.

It is believed that political opponents have relations with official prostitutes.

However, what is not there is nothing.

The official prostitute didn't want to harm others, so she didn't admit it.

The official prostitute said: "As a lowly prostitute, even if he has connections, the crime will not lead to death. Nothing is nothing. How can I arbitrarily talk about the scholar-officials? Even if it means death, I can't slander the innocence of others."

Zhu Xi became angry from shame.

Angry officials and prostitutes.

Put her directly in jail and torture her severely.

From this story, we can see Zhu Xi's nature. He was narrow-minded and his state of mind was not as good as that of an official prostitute. However, an official prostitute could still be upright and would rather die than surrender [without insulting the reputation and innocence of others].

However, what about Zhu Xi?

In order to slander a political opponent, an innocent woman was directly imprisoned and tortured.

It's really unconscionable.

Zhu Xi put forward countless Confucian classics that were highly praised by later generations of literati, and he himself was indeed so unbearable. From the words of wisdom written by such a man with corrupt personal ethics and seemingly high-sounding words, I am afraid that those words of wisdom are just false and empty.

Regarding "starving to death is a small matter, being dishonest is a huge thing" was proposed by Cheng Yi in Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, and then Zhu Xi carried it forward.

It’s been said before.

Zhu Xi asked the wife of his deceased friend to observe the law and not to marry again.

It's a small matter to die of hunger, but a big deal to lose one's integrity.

During the Song Dynasty, remarriage was an extremely normal thing.

On the contrary, it was very abnormal for Zhu Xi to say such things.

For example, Yue Fei's ex-wife, Wang Anshi's daughter-in-law, Lu You's ex-wife, etc., all of them have also remarried.

Fan Zhongyan even supported remarriage.

It is written in his family rules that if you marry a daughter, you will be given twenty guan, if you marry another woman, you will be given 20 guan, and if you marry a woman, you will be given 20 guan. If you marry again, you will not be given any money.

The development of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty persecuted women.

Binding feet and Baijie originated from Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, women were even more poisoned by Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. During the Three Kingdoms, Tang and Song Dynasties, women were very open and women could remarry. However, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, "chastity archways" flourished to encourage women to observe chastity.

As a result, thousands of women voluntarily or were forced to die for their husbands.

According to data, there were only 51 virtuous women and chaste women in the Tang Dynasty, only 267 in the Song Dynasty, and 36,000 in the Ming Dynasty!

As for the Qing Dynasty, this data was even worse.

There are more than 2,000 people in one county alone!

Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism persecuted countless women.

The Three Kingdoms, 3.6 Tang, Song and other eras were extremely open, and women could remarry or divorce their husbands. However, with the popularity of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, women were restrained, and chastity arches were tied up to promote women's chastity and let women Being loyal to your husband is really ridiculous.

Men like Zhu Xi had three wives and four concubines.

However, he restrained the woman in this way.

It's nothing more than possessiveness.

Selfish desires cause trouble.

It is extremely ironic that a person like Zhu Xi, who could not even control his own selfish desires, was still talking about maintaining natural principles and destroying human desires.

And what readability is there in the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism proposed by this sanctimonious beast?

Speaking of this, Ye Xuan sighed:

"There is no need to learn the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism of the Confucian school today. This is no longer the Confucianism advocated by Confucius.
