I

Have lunch on the mountain, and then go to see Cai Maode after eating.

On the way to the cafeteria, many students followed. When Zhao Han sat down, some more people came around, chattering non-stop.

There were also people at a few tables with sneers and disdain on their faces.

"This weird talk is nothing more than sensationalism."

"The mountain chief should expel him from the academy!"

"I heard that this guy is just an adopted son, a kind of domestic slave."

"No wonder he said that all men are equal, but it is just a lie told by humble people."

"Hahahaha, if you shout a few words about everyone being equal, does a domestic slave want to be the master?"

"Since he is a domestic slave, why is he also a child? How strange!"

"It's nothing more than a sharp-tongued tongue that charms its owner and leaves his name in the owner's household registration."

"Damn it, doesn't this taint the family tradition of my Fei family? I must go to the clan leader to file a complaint!"

"..."

Zhao Han's side was equally lively.

A student said: "Chen Lide is a fake Taoist scholar. I have long hated his words and deeds. It is really satisfying to be excused today and run away!"

Zhao Han smiled and said: "Mr. Chen is a teacher after all. As a student, you can just punish your mistakes and don't slander his moral character."

A scholar praised: "Neither humble nor arrogant, neither arrogant nor impetuous, students are the true Taoists!"

Another Tong Sheng asked: "Your Excellency said what Zhu Xi said, which is shocking to the world. Which masterpiece are they from?"

Zhao Han replied: "There are many "Zhu Xi Yu Lei" and "Hui'an Collection", as well as Zhu Xi's other writings."

The scholar before said in shock: "I have seen "Hui'an Collection" and flipped through it. There are a hundred volumes. I was busy with the imperial examination at that time, so I didn't read it carefully. I will read it carefully in the future!"

"I've only read it roughly," Zhao Han said.

This is really not modesty. In more than three years, how can I seriously read the Confucian classics?

Regarding "Hui'an Collection", Zhao Han read selectively.

Don't read the poems at all. Read the chapters you like carefully and skim the boring chapters. Only excerpt the key contents and know the gist of the rest.

If he studies like this, he will bully ordinary people.

If he were a great scholar of Neo-Confucianism, he would be able to refute Zhao Han until he was speechless.

Obviously, this cafeteria is full of ordinary people.

Some students wanted to show off but didn't want to read seriously, so they said, "My junior has studied Zhu Xi thoroughly. Can you tell us more about Zhu Xi?"

This is not about asking for advice, but about getting a few words so that you can use them to show off elsewhere.

"Yes, yes, yes, tell me about Zhu Xi." Everyone agreed and wanted to remember a few more amazing words.

The food has been brought and there is no room to sit around the table. Many people simply listen with their rice bowls in hand.

Zhao Han picked up his chopsticks and said, "Let me talk about "Hui'an Collection" first. This book has many amazing theories. Do you know about Confucius' execution of Shaozhengmao?"

"Of course I know." Scholar Liu Ziren said while holding the bowl.

Confucius and Shaozhengmao gathered together to give lectures at the same time. Shaozhengmao's lectures were more enjoyable, and all Confucius's students ran away. Later, Confucius served as the chief military officer. Only seven days after taking office, he killed Shaozhengmao and left his body exposed for three days.

The earliest version comes from "Xunzi", which only says that Confucius killed Shaozhengmao, without any content about lectures or killing corpses. After many interpretations, later generations confirmed the story and completed the details of the story.

The writing style of the Spring and Autumn Period in "Historical Records" does not mention any details. It only adds the three words "Youxi" after Confucius became an official and before Shaozhengmao was executed.

Zhao Han held up his chopsticks and said: "In "Hui'an Collection", Zhuzi denied that there was any "killing Shaozhengmao", and also called Xunzi a bad Confucian, deliberately slandering Confucius. Because this story first appeared in "Xunzi" and was second seen in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" and other pre-Qin classics have no records!"

"I see!"

Zhu Sheng was very happy and had another topic to brag about.

Even the tables in the distance, although they despised Zhao Han, listened carefully for fear of missing a word.

Zhao Han put down his chopsticks, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Do you know that Zhu Zi not only scolded Xunzi, but also entertained Confucius?"

"Really?" Everyone was shocked.

Zhao Han explained in detail: "Zhu Zi said that in the turbulent times of the Spring and Autumn Period, rituals and music collapsed, and Confucius' knowledge was useless. This is the "Zhu Zi Yu Lei"."

Well, strictly speaking, it is not taken out of context, Zhu Xi implicitly meant to complain about Confucius.

The students were first frightened and then excited.

It turns out that Zhu Zi, like us, also entertained Master Kong.

"What else? What else? Tell me quickly!" These guys don't like to listen to big principles, they just like to hear this kind of gossip.

Since everyone wants to hear it, Zhao Han is also happy to talk nonsense: "Song and Jin are coexisting. I would like to ask, Zhu Zi is the leader of peace or war?"

In the minds of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xidun and Ru Ya should not shout about fighting and killing, but they might be the peace faction.

But the Zhu Xi in Zhao Han's mouth seems to be different.

So, everyone remained silent and waited for Zhao Han to speak.

Zhao Han slammed the table: "Zhu Zi said that the Kingdom of Jin is a barbarian and a beast. How can you reason with the beasts? What kind of contract should you negotiate with the beasts? Don't be afraid, just go for it, the Northern Expedition!"

"good!"

"Zhu Zi is such a warrior!"

Since Zhu Xi in Zhao Han's mouth is so unorthodox, isn't it true that in private... he is even more unorthodox?

Fei Ruyi had a lewd smile on his face and suddenly asked, "Did Zhu Zi take a nun as his concubine?"

"Brother Changhuai, how can you talk nonsense!"

Everyone scolded, and then looked at Zhao Han, their faces full of curiosity, and they seemed to be expecting it to be true.

Come on, come on, come on, we like to hear this.

Zhao Han explained: "At that time, there was a palace upheaval and the new emperor ascended the throne. Zhu Zi was called as the emperor's tutor. There were two people who supported him, one was his clan relative Zhao Ruyu, and the other was his relative Han Xuanzhou. The two fought, and Zhu Zi was the first to be slandered. Among the major crimes is the crime of marrying a nun without permission."

"Then did he marry a nun?" Fei Ruhe asked.

"What do you think?" Zhao Han asked back and continued, "Zhu Zi did not defend himself against the ten major crimes and accepted them all. He left the court just to avoid the party struggle at that time. But he still did not escape, Neo-Confucianism Many of his disciples were ostracized and persecuted, and Zhu Zi was repeatedly impeached at home."

Fei Ruhe couldn't help scratching his head: "What does it mean to admit it? To marry or not to marry?"

"Of course he didn't marry a nun, how could Zhu Xi be such a person!" Liu Ziren, a scholar, shouted, "How can the criticism made by the party be taken seriously?"

Not married to a nun?

Everyone was very disappointed with Zhu Xi.

Fei Ruyi still didn't give up and asked: "Did Zhu Xi persecute the famous prostitute Yan Rui, and did he secretly marry Yan Rui's daughter Liniang? Which of these two stories is true and which is false?"

"Nonsense!"

Liu Ziren grabbed Fei Ruyi's lapel and angrily shouted: "You are a demon, you can't slander a saint!"

Fei Ruyi saw that Liu Ziren's face was full of flesh and he was not handsome at all, and he said with disgust: "I didn't make up these stories. They have been spread all over Jiangzuo."

"Jiangzuo is a place where filth and people gather!" Liu Ziren also had a look of disgust on his face and pushed Fei Ruyi away. He felt disgusted if he got too close.

A gay man, a straight man, they both hate each other.

Zhao Han slowly recounted: "That year there was a great disaster in eastern Zhejiang, and Zhu Zi was at home. Although Prime Minister Wang Huai hated Neo-Confucianism and did not want to see Zhu Zi, he could only use Zhu Zi to relieve the disaster. Do you know why?"

"Zhu Xi must be good at governing places." Xu Ying said suddenly.

"Of course," Zhao Han said, "Zhu Zi once ruled Chong'an County. During the great disaster, officials were corrupt, merchants were in trouble, and the gentry stood idle. Zhu Zi punished corrupt officials, suppressed local evil gentry, and forced merchants to sell grain at a fair price. The court Tang and the place were offended by Zhu Zi, but the people of Chong'an County survived countless lives."

"As expected, Zhu Xi is a model for our generation, a saint!" Xu Ying, Liu Ziren and other students shouted.

Zhao Han continued: "This disaster in eastern Zhejiang is really serious. Prime Minister Wang Huai has no one to use, so he can only use Zhu Zi to do things. The disaster in eastern Zhejiang is not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster. Tang Zhongyou, the magistrate of Taizhou, ruined the place. Quite true. Zhu Xi wrote six memorials to impeach this person, and the whole court was shocked, because this Tang Zhongyou was a fellow countryman and in-law of Prime Minister Wang Huai!"

Xu Ying couldn't help but ask: "What happened in the end?"

Zhao Han sighed: "The disaster was brought under control. Tang Zhongyou was dismissed from office, and Zhu Zi... was also dismissed from office."

"That's unreasonable!"

Everyone was furious when they heard this, including Fei Ruyi.

Fei Ruhe roared: "The emperor and the prime minister are really stupid and incompetent. Tang Zhongyou did all the bad things, but he was dismissed from office, and his crimes were not investigated? Zhu Xi helped the people, but he also lost his black gauze hat? Is Zhu Xi a chamber pot? Bring it Just use it and throw it away after you’re done!”

"This, this, this..." Liu Ziren was also angry at first, but he immediately retorted after hearing this, "How can you say that Zhu Zi is a chamber pot?"

Fei Ruhe glared at the other party: "You are still a scholar, can't you understand human language? It's not that I said Zhu Zi is a chamber pot, but that stupid prime minister treated Zhu Zi as a chamber pot!"

Liu Ziren was so angry that he stamped his feet and said, "That can't be compared like this!"

Xu Ying quickly persuaded him: "We are all grieving for Zhu Zi, so don't hurt the harmony."

Fei Ruyi suddenly urged: "Tell me about the famous prostitute quickly."

Zhao Han explained: "The famous prostitute Yan Rui was the concubine of Tang Zhongyou, a corrupt official in the state. Tang Zhongyou also had a friend named Hong Mai. Many years later, Zhu Zi was dismissed from office due to party disputes, and Hong Mai happened to major in national history. He not only compiled history He slandered Zhu Zi and also compiled "Yi Jian Zhi Geng" to fabricate the incident between Zhu Zi and the prostitute."

Zhao Han said to everyone: "Gentlemen, Zhuzi is against women sacrificing their husbands. Zhuzi's inscription commending martyred women who sacrificed their husbands was also fabricated by Hong Mai and others. Because at that time, sacrificing your husband was not a good thing, but would be spurned by the scholar-bureaucrats. Those who Those who oppose Neo-Confucianism say that Zhu Xi advocates women sacrificing their husbands."

Zhao Han pointed in the direction down the mountain: "If we follow Zhu Xi's true meaning, the chastity and martyrs' memorial arch can be demolished."

Everyone looked at each other.

Fei Yuanjian put down the bowl and chopsticks and clenched his fists. His mother was now a chastity memorial.

Liu Ziren suddenly said: "My disciples are studying the true meaning of Zhu Xi. Why don't we form a society and rectify the origin of Neo-Confucianism?"

"I'll join too!" Fei Ruhe responded immediately. This guy was just doing it for fun.

Xu Ying asked: "How about calling it Hanzhu Society?"

Zhao Han said with a smile: "It is better to call it Datong Society, which means the world is unified."

Zhu Zhiyu came over: "Can I join?"
