Chapter 142 Old Man Hu Yuan
Whether a yamen has great power is related to the scope of the jurisdiction of this yamen, and even more to who is the chief official of this yamen.
A powerful yamen has a cowardly lord, and the entire yamen is frustrated.
A yamen with less power can be awesome and awesome official with a stimulating official.
Kaifeng Prefecture, where Bao Zheng is in charge, is a yamen with less power in Bianliang City. Now he can walk around Bianliang City, regardless of the Imperial City Department or Privy Council. He will investigate whoever he wants to investigate and arrest whoever he wants to arrest.
Don’t accept it? If you don’t accept it, you will be able to criticize Bao Zheng, you are considered to be very capable. During the Renzong period, many people who criticized Bao Zheng. No matter how many rank Bao Zheng is, Bao Zheng is no matter how many rank Bao Zheng is, he will start to criticize him if he doesn’t accept it. Then there are countless tragic people, such as Song Xiang, who was the prime minister a few years ago, was repeatedly sprayed by Bao Zheng. At that time, Bao Zheng was only a rank of the Censorate, and was from the fourth rank.
The Censorate and the Censorate, the two major censors in the Northern Song Dynasty, are troll bases. The Censorate is about one level lower than the Censorate. Bao Zheng is the leader of the troll. Not only does he criticize him one person, but he also brings a group of Censorate’s brothers to the court and spray countless big bosses.
You can make an inappropriate analogy. Bao Zheng was the number one troll in the Song Dynasty. He was an official. Don’t get him a handle. If he gets a little handle, Bao Zheng can chatter and spit you home.
This is why Renzong arranged Bao Zheng in Kaifeng Prefecture.
Behind Bao Zheng, there was a Gan Qi who pretended to be a tiger. With the power of the Song Dynasty's No. troll, He Hai took several yamen to walk to Huikeya and made an appointment to take a meal. Things were almost done. He even brought a Huikeya team.
It is really beneficial to be a disciple. It is impossible to be a fox and a tiger.
But Gan Qi suddenly realized that he might have to develop on the road of trolls. Bao Zheng’s disciple should not have insulted the reputation of his teacher. Should he strive for the position of the second troll in the Northern Song Dynasty?
Gan Qi has established his path in recent period and has taken the household registration documents to report to the Imperial Academy.
Ganqi's trolling journey may have to start with Imperial Academy.
The current Imperial Supervisor is Hu Yuan, who is a 65-year-old man. Although this man is not very famous in later generations, he is very famous at this time. He is the founder of the Confucian Neo-Confucianism school. Now he is the official of the Prince Zhongshe and the attendant of Tianzhang Pavilion. The beginning of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism that influenced later generations probably started with Hu Yuan.
Hu Yuan’s reputation is not only because he is responsible for the Imperial College, but also because almost half of the officials of the Ministry of Rites have been under his sect. The Ministry of Rites is the department responsible for organizing the imperial examinations, which shows Hu Yuan’s influence on the current court.
Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was criticized by later generations, with many advantages and disadvantages, many beneficial and harmful. The phrase "preserving the principles of heaven and destroying human desires" was criticized by later generations the most. However, there is actually a misunderstanding on this point. "preserving the principles of heaven and destroying human desires" was taken out of context.
The original text is "Food, the law of heaven, delicacies of mountains and seas, and human desires. Husband and wife are the law of heaven, three wives and four concubines are the desires of man." The original text distinguishes the law of heaven and human desires, and then preserves the law of heaven to destroy human desires. The essential meaning is to control one's excessive desires.
Of course, on the whole, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism really influenced the thoughts of later generations and made their thoughts more conservative and pedantic. This is the biggest drawback of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.
The real pioneers of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism are the brothers Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, and one Zhang Zai. The three of them are also candidates who are in the same class as Su Shi and Su Zhe.
Gan Qi came too much, but the old scholar Hu Yuan came out to meet Gan Qi in person, because Gan Qi was the only person in this class recommended by the emperor himself.
Hu Yuan naturally wanted to see Gan Qi, the "relationship household". Gan Qi had also seen it with kindness and thoughtfulness, just waiting to listen to the teachings of the old scholars.
Hu Yuan looked up and down Gan Qi and said, "When the official recommended you, I also asked someone to ask for a few words, and I have heard of your poems, and read your articles. I have talent, so I can study in the inner school of the Imperial Academy."
Students of the Imperial Academy are divided into internal and external sects, just like the Jianghu sects also divide internal and external sects into the same principle. If you want to enter the inner sect, it will naturally be extremely difficult. If you pass the exam, you will get the extra exam. When Wang Anshi was in charge, he divided the Imperial Academy into three sects. In addition to the internal and external sects, you will also add one sect. This is the method of three sects.
"Thank you Mr. Hu." Gan Qi replied.
Hu Yuan suddenly asked again: "But the official gave another explanation, saying that I would not have to restrain you, listen to the lecture and go to the class. Why is this?"
Gan Qi saw that Hu Yuan's face was a little unhappy, and knew that the old man had to deal with it first, otherwise there would be trouble in the future. A famous saying in his mind came out of his mind and answered: "Sir, the student has a word, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. Please correct me."
Hu Yuan thought slightly when he heard this, and repeated the words: "Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles."
Then Hu Yuan smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Well, I didn't think there was anything strange about this sentence at the first day of the first day. When I thought about it, I felt it was meaningful and meaningful, and it was even reasonable. No wonder the official family personally recommended you to join the Imperial Academy. Just this sentence is better than countless people."
Seeing the old man's appearance, Gan Qi immediately said: "The student has also learned a truth from it, and I'll ask the sir to correct me."
"Let me tell me." The old man looked up at Gan Qi, looking forward to it.
"The principle of unity of knowledge and action." Gan Qi replied.
Hu Yuan stopped when he heard this, shaking his head and looking up at Gan Qi with a look of surprise.
The unity of knowledge and action was a very important core idea in Wang Yangming's study of mind in the Ming Dynasty. This word was also first created by Wang Yangming.
The relationship between mind and Neo-Confucianism actually has inheritance, development, and differences. However, at the philosophical level, the two schools are still complementary, and they are respectively expounding subjective and objective idealistic ideas. However, in terms of the cognition of all things, the two schools are very different.
Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, and integrating knowledge and action have become a mess in later generations, but in this Song Dynasty, it was enlightening.
If Gan Qi really wanted to explain and explain in detail and improve the theory, Gan Qi might show some timidity, but the Hu Yuan in front of him was a person who started Neo-Confucianism, so Gan Qi didn't need Gan Qi to explain and explain in detail. Instead, it aroused Hu Yuan's philosophical thinking.
Hu Yuan calmed down a little from his surprise, then tsk a few times and said, "You are young and have a lot of progress. Knowledge and action are united. This is the saying that awakened the dreamer. Read thousands of books and travels thousands of miles. Only in this way can you be united by knowledge and action. If you have time in the future, you should come to me to sit and discuss the truth."
Sitting and talking? When Gan Qi heard this, he bowed his hand repeatedly: "I dare not do it if I am a poor student."
"What are the last learnings? The saints say, "I hear the Tao in a sequence, and I can die in a night. The saints say, "The three of them will have their own teachers when they walk. If they have thoughts on this great way, they must have thoughts. Those who are good at learning will be teachers. If they sit and discuss the Tao, you and I should be friends who forget their age." This is what old scholar like Hu Yuan has studied throughout his life. He is not interested in being an official, and he is very concerned about teaching and educating people.
Perhaps this is the attitude that rigorous academic research should have, and this is also the reason why he can manage the Imperial College and have many students all over the world.
It is okay to say that Gan Qi has the thoughts of the great way, but Gan Qi may not be able to think about the thoughts of the great way. If you really want to talk to this rigorous old scholar, Gan Qi can talk, but you are afraid that there will be problems with the conversation.
So Gan Qi just bowed and expressed etiquette.
But the old scholar Hu Yuan stood up, put out a preaching edict, picked up the pen and sang four big characters: unity of knowledge and action.
After writing, Hu Yuan was in a very good mood and said, "You should frame this sentence in the house, see it all the time, and think about it all the time."
Gan Qi looked at Hu Yuan in a good mood and said, "Sir, it's not too early, the student has left."
Unexpectedly, the old man stepped forward and grabbed Gan Qi's hand, looked out, and said, "It's still early, it's still early, sit down, sit down."
Seeing that the old man was so enthusiastic, Gan Qi hurriedly said, "Sir, there is still something urgent at the student's home. Come and visit the sir again the next day."
Seeing this, the old man put down Gan Qi's hand and said, "I am very pleased with you this year when the Taixue School has you. I will definitely come here to see you in the future. I must have a long talk with you."
"Thank you, Mr. Gan Qi bowed, turned around and left.
As soon as I left, I saw an acquaintance, Liu Ji, the chief of the Imperial Academy.
