Chapter 68 Is Yang Bo a gentleman or a villain? This is a question
"Feng Daban, you did a good job today." Zhu Yijun would praise Feng Bao every time Feng Bao opened his mouth to curse, because Feng Bao Well done.
Feng Baoxi couldn't help but bowed his head and said: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"
Feng Bao himself may not know the meaning of his scolding Wang Chonggu. Maybe to Feng Bao, he just followed The usual practice maintained the imperial authority of the Ming Emperor.
But Zhu Yijun, Zhang Juzheng, and Yang Bo all knew very well the significance of Feng Bao's scolding Wang Chonggu in forcing Wang Chonggu to bow his head.
That is to determine what is right and what is wrong.
Yang Bo’s previous impeachment of Qi Jiguang was a heart-breaking move. Zhang Juzheng asked Yang Bo, is he really going to start a heart-breaking political struggle? When it comes to deeds, one does not care about the heart, and when it comes to the heart, no one is perfect. Once this is revealed, the country will be unrest.
While Feng Bao was in the Wenhua Hall today, Wang Chonggu, who was so angry, could only lower his head and admit his mistakes, that is, to determine what is right and what is wrong. Some things, even if the current reality cannot be changed, right or wrong must be In essence, only when you have determined what is right and wrong can you continue to do things.
There are three ways to subjugate a country, the leader of which is Party prison.
When the party struggle between the two Song Dynasties was at its most intense, the party struggle did not matter whether it was right or wrong, it was always opposition for the sake of opposition. After you sing, I will go on stage to fully oppose, fully deny, and fully end all the other party’s decrees. This approach , there is only one result, that is, the law does not bind the people, and the people do not know the law.
In politics, those who uphold justice are not upright. If even the law is ineffective, how can we govern?
A court that cannot govern, or a court?
Morality is established at the top, and law is at the bottom. Ritual is controlled according to the situation, and legislation is made when the situation arises. The way is based on virtue, and the law is used to control people. The rule of law is based on etiquette, and the country is governed by law.
Etiquette is a metaphysical virtue, and law is a metaphysical outline. If there is no law, then the court will have no meaning at all.
Therefore, the intensity of party struggle can be controlled, and we cannot oppose for the sake of opposition.
There must be right and wrong. Only by confirming right and wrong can the intensity of party struggle be completely controlled. No matter how opposed the parties are, they must have a certain basic consensus. This basic consensus is right and wrong.
Only by controlling the intensity of party struggle can the country's discipline and principles be prevented from being destroyed in an orderly and large-scale manner.
Zhu Yijun highly affirmed Feng Bao's work, even if Feng Bao didn't know the meaning of what he was doing, as long as he could do it.
Of course, Feng Bao is really a master of Qi Ren Jing.
Wang Chonggu’s nose was so angry that he almost resented Feng Bao more than he resented Zhang Juzheng!
Although Zhang Juzheng punched the Jin party hard and cut off a large piece of meat, which made the Jin party a little at a loss, Zhang Juzheng did not humiliate Wang Chonggu. Everyone fought with their own skills. Zhang Juzheng was a step ahead in his way, and Wang Chonggu thought he would lose. Not unjust.
However, Feng Baona was pointing at his nose and scolding! He also took Wang Xilie with him and spat at Wang Chonggu!
How can Wang Chonggu not hate him? No matter how much he hates him, Wang Chonggu can't do anything to Feng Bao. Feng Bao is an internal official and is not in the same system as the outer court.
The lecture began. Zhu Yijun studied very seriously. He used a small hammer and a big hammer to hit Zhang Juzheng's ideological stamp.
Zhu Yijun's strength does not need to be very strong, because Zhang Juzheng himself is not a gentleman. He only needs to knock out a crack, and Zhang Juzheng himself will tear the ideological seal to pieces.
Zhang Juzheng is a living person. He can breathe, he has a heartbeat, and he can think. His knowledge has reached the highest level. He only needs to think about difficult questions by himself.
Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth and said: "The Master said: A gentleman is Zhou but not compared [bì], and a villain is compared [bì] but not Zhou."
"Zhou: broad and circumferential, just and not partial. ;Compared with: narrow-minded friends, collusion for selfish ends, and exclusion of dissidents."
"The Master said: A gentleman is loyal to others, treats others with the right path, and makes friends widely but does not collude with each other; people of low character use mutual interests and conspiracy. And collusion, regardless of morality. "
"The Master often uses the example of the correspondence between a gentleman and a villain. There are two understandings of a gentleman and a villain, one is distinguished by status and the other is distinguished by virtue."
"Based on position, a gentleman is a person who governs others; a villain is a commoner."
"Based on virtue, a gentleman is a virtuous person; a villain is a treacherous person."
< br>Zhu Yijun understands clearly that before, if a gentleman does evil, the country will be greatly evil; if a gentleman does good, then the country will be good. The gentleman here is the one who governs others, and they are distinguished by their positions; A gentleman is virtuous, distinguished by virtue.
Zhang Juzheng said it very clearly and understandably.
"How to distinguish Zhou and Bi?" Zhu Yijun asked doubtfully.
Zhang Juzheng raised his hands and said solemnly: "The behavior of a gentleman is different from that of a villain, such as yin and yang day and night, black and white, right and wrong. How should we distinguish between Zhou Bi? When it comes to the two words of public and private, a slight difference can make a huge difference." "
"A gentleman treats others with loyalty, and his behavior is fair; a villain treats others with party, and his love is private."
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said: "A gentleman's heart is fair, and his behavior is private. Sir, you should care for the talents that should be cherished, and you don’t have to make the other party dependent on you. You should show kindness to the talents that should be given, and you don’t have to make the other party have demands for you. "
"Just. Like Mr. Yuan Fu and Qi Shuai, like Mr. Yuan Fu and Xu Zhenming?” , Zhang Juzheng's love and care was not to make Qi Jiguang dependent on him; Xu Zhenming was a talented person who knew nothing about farming and water conservancy. Zhang Juzheng's kindness to Xu Zhenming was not to make him seek for himself.
This is not a gentleman, so what is a gentleman?
"Your Majesty is so flattering that I dare not accept it." Zhang Juzheng said humbly and proudly. Until now, Zhang Juzheng can say that he is worthy of his respect and his heart, and he is a true gentleman.
“The villain’s heart is selfish and his behavior is selfish. They will gather together because of their power, and they will run together for interests, or they will make friends with each other for the sake of common dislike, and they will "For assistance."
"Like Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei, like Wang Chonggu and Ma Gui and Ma Jin?" "Said." Zhang Juzheng neither denied nor confirmed, but still answered the emperor's question.
"I would like to be taught." Zhu Yijun said with emotion: "Zhou: public mind, public behavior, public morality. Bi: selfish mind, private behavior, private morality."
"The heart of a gentleman The public is the only one who deserves to be loved, and should be loved without attaching it to oneself; one should give kindness as one should give it, without waiting for it to be asked of oneself, and one should not be biased for the selfish interests of the party, so he is a gentleman; "
"The villain is selfish, only for his own selfishness. If there is power, he will follow it, if it is beneficial, he will move towards it, if it is harmful, he will avoid it. That’s why I am a villain.”
Zhang Juzheng tasted His Majesty’s words very seriously, and did not underestimate His Majesty’s academic arguments just because His Majesty was only ten years old. He thought for a long time before bowing his head and said: "Your Majesty is wise."
"Your Majesty is wise and open-minded every day, and his understanding and understanding are becoming more and more sophisticated. This is your Majesty's wisdom and wisdom, and it is not the merit of your ministers."
"Mr. Yuan Fu taught me well." Zhu Yijun changed the subject and spoke. Said: "Mr. Yuan Fu, I am confused."
Zhang Juzheng said tentatively: "Your Majesty, I am a little unwell, can we talk about it another day?"
Zhang Juzheng wanted to escape from illness, but Xiao The emperor's doubts almost made him mentally weak. He was most afraid of the little emperor saying this.
"Zhang Daban, go to the Jiecu Hospital and ask the great medical officer Chen Shigong to feel Mr. Yuanfu's pulse." Zhu Yijun heard this and said to Zhang Hong sincerely.
"Zhang Dajue, wait a moment. Your Majesty, after the banquet, I will just go to the Taiyuan Hospital to have a look. There is no need to disturb the chief medical officer of the Jiecui Hospital." Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng immediately chose to compromise. I'm a bit cold, where do I need to ask Chen Shigong?
"Mr. Yuan Fu, is Yang Bo and Yang Dazai a gentleman or a villain?" Zhu Yijun asked his doubts.
Zhang Juzheng was silent. If heaven did not give birth to Zhongni, eternity would be like a long night. However, according to Confucius, when encountering specific problems, it is easy for such a situation to occur. According to Confucius’ discussion, a gentleman and a villain are like yin and yang day and night. , right and wrong, so often opposite, irreconcilable.
In terms of position, Yang Bo is the one who governs people.
Based on morality, whether Yang Bo is a gentleman or a villain is a question.
Yang Bo has been working hard for the stability of the Ming Dynasty his whole life, but can we say that Yang Bo is a gentleman? He is the leader of the Jin Party, a national party, but whenever he encounters major events, Yang Bo can still be fair and impartial and prevent things from getting worse.
Similarly, does Ge Shouli have to be a villain?
Is Ma Fang, who has been fighting for the Ming Dynasty all his life, a villain?
Tan Lun is public-spirited, fair-minded, and ethical, but he does not repay Jin Party for his support. Is he a villain?
After Qi Jiguang became a knight, he cut off from Zhang Juzheng. Is he a villain?
Unsatisfactory things often happen, but they are the same as those who speak.
The gentleman and the villain are binary opposites in The Analects of Confucius. They talk about each other and it seems that there is no middle ground between the gentleman and the villain, but this is not the case in reality.
This is something that can be explained clearly by just a few sentences from sages.
"Yang Dazai is a minister of great virtue." Zhang Juzheng chose to be vague, and he chose to be confused about questions that he could not answer.
Neither white nor ink, either this or that, neither right nor wrong, neither good nor evil, is a single, simple and opposing understanding of the principles of all things, but reality is often diverse, complex, and you I have something in me, and I have you in me. If we use binary opposition to discuss it, we are not practicing it or speaking with facts.
Zhu Yijun asked Yang Bo whether he was a gentleman or a villain, as if he were asking how it would be to attack his shield with his spear.
Zhang Juzheng wanted to be vague, but Zhu Yijun refused. After hearing this, he immediately asked: "Mr. Yuanfu, Yang Dazai is a virtuous minister, so he should be a gentleman; but Yang Dazai is a clan member. The leader of the party should be a villain."
"But Yang Dazai himself is Yang Bo. He is a gentleman, so how can we understand him as a villain?"
Zhang Juzheng was silent for a long time. Said: "Human beings are complex, and the principles of all things are also complex, and we cannot generalize or generalize. People or things, what they say, and what they do cannot be summed up in one sentence. To judge and to understand the infinite principles of all things in an isolated, static and one-sided way is bound to be biased."
"Putting it on a specific thing or person, such as what Your Majesty said. According to Yang Dazai, the gentleman and the villain are opposites, but the gentleman and the villain are both Yang Dazai."
Zhu Yijun showed his signature sunny smile and said in confusion. : "I didn't understand. What Mr. Yuan Fu said was too complicated."
This hammer was a sledgehammer, and Zhang Juzheng was a little down when he swung it.
"Your Majesty, why don't you read the "Emperor's Pictures"?" Zhang Juzheng himself didn't even think about this question, how to educate the little emperor, so he chose to change the topic!
This is not a shameful matter. Zhang Juzheng did not choose to avoid it, but only after he fully understood it could he tell His Majesty.
So, is Yang Bo a gentleman or a villain?
