When Zhu Youlang heard this, he almost laughed out loud: "This old guy is so funny. If you criticize Confucianism, just criticize Confucianism. Why did he even bring Wu Bing with him?"

Sure enough, no matter how well Wu Bing was in a state of upbringing, his face turned pale and said angrily: "I wish to listen to Master Song's high arguments! If you convince Wu, you will be fine. If you cannot convince Wu, Wu will spread your crazy words today in Shilin, so that you can accept Shilin's criticism!"

Song Yingxing was not afraid, raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Mr. Wu, let's sit down and listen to what the students said. It has been 1,300 years since Dong Zhongshu proposed to 'demolish all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone'. The norms and popularization of morality and ethics can be said to have surpassed the world. Let me ask Mr. Wu, which dynasty and which dynasty left the Legalist theory? It is not the joint effect of law and etiquette, which dynasty has been continuation of the various dynasties? Why can't we absorb the Legalist ideas? The reason is that Confucianism is inherently exclusionary, and even though the facts are in front of us, we are unwilling to admit it."

"This is a bad statement! If everyone believes in etiquette and morality, how can we use legal ideas? The reason is that the saints' theories have not been popularized, or they have not been promoted to the extreme, and there will be rioters in all dynasties." Before Wu Bing can refute, Yang Qiaoran first refuted.

"Mr. Yang, can Confucianism be achieved to the extreme? Everyone can overcome the rituals and return to rituals. It can indeed reach the ideal state imagined by adults. But Mr. Yang, don't forget, don't talk about whether it can be achieved to the extreme. Even if it reaches the extreme, it will inevitably destroy human nature, which will inevitably cause a greater rebound. Just now, Lord Wu quoted a saint saying that as long as everyone overcomes the rituals and returns to rituals, how can we use farms? Facts have proved that this sentence is not completely true. My Ming Dynasty has always been Confucianism since the founding of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the country has not reached its extreme, it is not far from the extreme. Why can the people not be polite in the face of natural disasters and rebel? If the sages say, the people should not starve to death than rebel? It is heard that the economic foundation determines the superstructure, and the material determines consciousness. Students agree with it. Only when people eat and wear well can they be polite. The most basic survival cannot be solved. Isn’t it a big deal to ask the people to keep the ritual?”

"Go back to the topic just now, if the student's book "The Work of Heaven" is promoted, it will be of great benefit to agriculture, military and workshops. More food can be fed in the ground, more clothes can be weaved in the workshop, and more better weapons can be forged in the military weapon barracks, which will be beneficial to the country and the people. The students can't think of any reason for the three adults to oppose it?"

After saying this, the reason and meaning were profound, and mixed with the emperor's Hadith. Wu Bing, Lu Daqi and Yang Qiaoran stopped talking, and they couldn't think of how to refute it.

"Guan Zi once said: 'If the granaries are full, you will know etiquette; if you will know honor and disgrace, you will know honor and disgrace. What Master Song said is very consistent with Guan Zi's way of governing the country and assisting the government. Huang admired it." Huang Zongxi stood up at this time and helped Song Yingxing with a fist.

"Your Majesty, my great masters, most of the wars recorded in history are in the area north of the Yangtze River. Every war of unification also emerges from the north and swept to the south. Is it that when I read last night, I couldn't help but conceal why wars easily began in the north? Rarely, there are few people from the south? Could it be that the Confucianism in the north is not that it is not that the morals in the north are strong? Ethics does not educate the people of the north? This answer is obviously incorrect. There are many causes of the rise of wars, but it is definitely not. Later, after deep thought, I got the answer from what Your Majesty said, "Materials determine consciousness, and consciousness reacts on matter". The fundamental reason why wars in the north are easy to start is not that ethics are not strong, but that the northern land is more barren and the northern people are more suffering. In order to live a better life, they must fight south to plunder more resources. This is the fundamental reason why there are more wars in the north, and it can naturally explain why there are fewer wars in the south."

"When looking at the world today, Manchus stubbornly arose in the bitter and cold land in the north. Rather than saying that the slave chief wanted to seize the country of our Ming Dynasty, it was better to say that it was to change a good living environment. The people who broke through the world swept through the world, and it could not be simply explained that the people were incompetent in education. Instead, they should be seen that they followed the thief when they were not full. Similarly, our Ming Dynasty was also emptied from the national treasury for years, and later they were unable to support border and military wages, which made Manchus and the Breakthrough and Break through the world and were difficult to cure, and finally the current situation."

"I am increasingly impressed by Your Majesty. His Majesty has seen the subtlety, seen what his predecessors have not seen, and summarized the ultimate truth of 'matter determines consciousness, and consciousness reacts to matter'."

Huang Zongxi talked freely and argued Zhu Youlang's argument from a higher level.

Zhu Youlang heard this and thought to himself: "Okay, it's not bad. I won't let you eat roast chicken in vain. I'll make you have a meal and I'll make you understand."

After Huang Zongxi said this, Qu Shixi stood up excitedly and said, "I have the same feelings for Taichong's words. As long as we governors always take the livelihood of the people in our hearts, let the people of the world have a meal, wear warm clothes, and then use ethics to accompany ethics, why worry about the world not being governed? Not only that, with this as the foundation of governance, our Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to get out of the stalemate of dynasty changes and create a foundation that will never replace us forever."

"I'm going to discuss it!" Chen Bangyan understood Zhu Youlang's thoughts best, and knew that Huang Zongxi and Qu Shixi had finally come to the emperor's heart, so he hurriedly left work to express his opinion.

"I'm going to agree!" Chen Zizhuang also came out to express his opinion.

Wu Bing, Yang Qiaoran and Lu Daqi saw a major change in the wind at this time, and had changed from an academic debate with Song Yingxing to a flattery of the emperor. Although he was dissatisfied, he had to follow everyone and sing the emperor's hymn immediately.

"Your Majesty, I am not good at studying and have a short-sighted understanding, and I am sorry for your Majesty's favor. I am already convinced of what Master Song and Taichong said." Wu Bing said.

Lu Daqi and Yang Qiaoran also agreed.

"You are all Confucian scholars. You have been immersed in it for a long time and your knowledge is pure. I do not doubt this. However, there are things that cannot be seen. 'I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, because I am in this mountain'. I think you may not be convinced, and I am afraid there are still many excuses in my heart?" Zhu Youlang said.

"I dare not." Wu Bing replied.

"It's okay, I will not commit crimes with words. I have just said that whether it is political or academic discussion, you can express your opinions and speak freely. But there is one thing that you can blush during discussion, but you must make the same voice during execution, and you cannot cause disagreement among colleagues because of disputes."

"Yes, I will obey the order."

"I have heard the arguments between you all the beloved friends just now. I feel that although what Chang Geng and Taichong said is reasonable, there are still things that cannot be seen. It just happened that today, Tian Jing, I am in a good mood, so I will give you a commentary."
