Compared with the traditional emperor who has a complete set of Confucian logic for governing the country with wise kings and wise ministers, Jiajing's little ideas were all summed up by himself on the spot.
Confucianism emphasizes consistency, which means that all problems can be solved by integrating the two words of benevolence and righteousness into all activities. All problems can be solved through the moral discipline of benevolence and righteousness.
When Jiajing took over the throne, he also tried to implement benevolence and righteousness into the New Deal. But after realizing that it didn't work, I accepted that I couldn't do it consistently.
It may be difficult for others to accept that they are not wise kings, but for Jiajing, he feels at ease, as long as no one can see it.
Since I can’t do it myself, I will leave it to future generations to be wise kings. Future generations will always have greater wisdom. I just need to retreat to cultivating immortality, remove myself from the government, keep the reputation of the royal family, and leave a righteous name for the descendants who want to be Mingjun.
It wasn’t until he saw the Zajia family that Jiajing suddenly realized what he was doing.
It turns out that it’s not my fault, it’s that there really is no consistent method or shortcut in the world. For thousands of years, the reason why Confucianism has been unable to make any progress is probably because they have gone astray in trying to package Confucianism into a shortcut that can be "consistently applied".
If the facts are inconsistent with Confucian theory, it must be a problem with the human heart. It can be seen that people’s hearts are not ancient. So Neo-Confucianism and Xinxue came into being to further standardize the human heart. If we don’t solve the problem, but only solve the people, it’s no wonder that things go in the opposite direction and things are counterproductive.
After accepting that there is no "universal" law in the world, Jiajing's world suddenly became clear.
In the opinion of Zaijia, everything has its own reason, and their reasons do not necessarily have to be connected. Therefore, each theory and school of thought has its applicable scenarios and premises. In short, it means analyzing specific issues in detail.
Precisely because "everything has its own reason, and the reasons do not necessarily have to be the same", it is necessary to be inclusive and comprehensive of the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought, and cannot be limited to telling stories based on the theories of one family and one surname.
After breaking away from the absolute "benevolence and righteousness" that applies to all things, Jiajing's mood became much clearer.
Throughout the ages, there have been many monarchs who were superstitious about Confucianism, but few who criticized Confucianism. On the basis of criticism, even fewer monarchs found new knowledge. As if for an instant, Jiajing could feel that he had reached the realm of a holy king, at least mentally. Although I rely on old knowledge found through archeology.
Although Zhou was an old state, its destiny was restored. Although Zajia is old, his life is renewed. Although I am old, my life is also renewed.
With these ideas in mind, Jiajing began to draw boundaries for the thoughts of various doctrines, especially Confucianism. Avoid any analysis and decision-making that must be interfered with by Confucian judgment.
"Lu Fang, what's going on with Qin Hanlin?" Jiajing spoke more casually when he was happy.
"Back to the master, Qin Hanlin seems to be crazy. According to his wife, he became mentally ill after translating Mr. Wanma's books and said some deviant words when he returned home. This morning, Chen Hong went to announce the decree and unexpectedly discovered It is true that he wrote a lot of deviant things silently in his study, but unfortunately in today's worldThe sky has gone completely crazy. We can only be detained in Zhao Prison and temporarily locked up." Lu Fang said with half regret and half concern.
"Crazy, so crazy. People are crazy, so we can spare ourselves the pain of flesh and blood. All relevant writings will be confiscated, and the person will be kept in Zhao Prison. If word spreads about his madness, his reputation will be bad for the country and his family. Just let him stay in Zhao Prison with peace of mind. I will use the money from my internal funds to tell his family that they can visit him. Jiajing was somewhat touched by the fact that he was still so benevolent and righteous even though he gave up Confucianism.
“The master is as benevolent as heaven. "Lu Fang quickly held up her hands and flattered her.
"You say I'm kind, so I might as well be more kind. Now that he is in Zhao Prison, don't be idle. The guys at Siyikan are probably about to finish the first draft translation of the remaining few Thai-Spanish books. Show them all to him. Let him help straighten it out so that it doesn't go crazy with the back locked. "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
