boom……

The hall was even more uproar. Hao Fenglou was pointing directly at a core issue. He wanted to shake the foundation of Neo-Confucianism and even dig out everyone's corners.

"You..." Hu Jinxian was so angry that he couldn't help but shouted: "You are trying to make a fuss about the truth. How can you be a scholar?"

Hao Fenglou sighed, "But why do merchants despise?"

"That's because of his nature's pursuit of profit, his mind is blinded by the smell of money."

Hao Fenglou smiled: "What the adults said is a profiteer. The profiteer is naturally inferior to others, and there is no difference between them and the stolen officials who harm the people. Therefore, Chen Xue and Master Chen proposed that scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are equal, but only those who are virtuous are virtuous, even those who are virtuous are virtuous. Among the merchants, there are also people who are kind and generous. These people can be upright scholars, and they are also virtuous. As for those greedy merchants and scholars, there is no distinction between noble and humble, they are just untouchables."

"Mr. Hu, this is the argument of Chen Xue. Just now, the master said that Chen Xue was equal to scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, but he didn't know that Master Chen meant that scholars, farmers, industry and commerce could be generalized. If he had no virtue, even if he was passed down from poetry and books, even if he was a family of three generations, what could he do? Confucius said that Chengren was a benevolent, Meng said that righteousness, merchants became benevolent and righteousness, wouldn't he be a gentleman?"

Hao Fenglou is clearly a quibbling, but then again, the way of Confucius and Mencius is indeed useless. It is just that later Confucian scholars proposed various "fallacies" in order to consolidate their status. These fallacies are vulnerable. Not to mention Hao Fenglou, anyone who understands some truths can refute it, but it is just a matter of fact. Anyone who understands the truth in this world does not get benefits from this fallacies, and who has not gained more or less privileges from it? It is precisely because of this. Even if these truths are absurd, no one touches the emperor's new clothes, and everyone has become accustomed to it.

But now is different from the past. When an emerging class rises, it has already caused a split among scholars. Some marginalized scholars turn their fingers and tear up this ridiculous new clothes without hesitation.

But these things make sense. For the vast majority of people in the temple today, they are ruthless, and Hu Jin's virtuous spirit is speechless. But there is no refutation. Confucianism, like all theories, and even theology, appears, and suddenly makes countless people's eyes lit up and shine. Even after the ages, it shines brightly. But after this ages, countless so-called disciples held this "treasure book" and attacked each other. You can attack him with what Confucius and Mencius said, and the other party can also refute it with the way Confucius and Mencius. The so-called principle of opposing Confucius and Mencius against Confucius and Mencius is roughly like this.

Hu Jinxian's stupidity lies in that he did not conduct any intensive investigations on Chen Xue at all, but instead only searched for some so-called loopholes. However, Hao Fenglou seriously considered the principles of Chen Xue and exposed Hu Jinxian's out of context.

But even if Hao Fenglou said it makes sense, so what?

Someone sneered and said, "It's ridiculous! Lord Hao is a martial artist. This Confucius and Mencius only know the superficial knowledge, and the light of fireflies dares to compete with the sun and the moon for light?"

The person who stood up and spoke was so confident, but he showed that his identity was not low. Hao Fenglou looked closely and knew who this person was. This person was actually not a high official position, but he was just a fifth-rank Hanlin attendant. However, the nobleman of Hanlin had an extraordinary status. This person was named Wu Han, who was on the same list as Xie Jin. He looked disdainful and obviously disdainful to discuss the teachings of Confucius and Mencius with Hao Fenglou, because he believed that he and even the entire court and the public dared not underestimate his knowledge. How could such a person have the interest to argue with Hao Fenglou?

In the eyes of such people, the commander of the Jinyiwei, the prince consort, and what kind of thing are, all of them are inferior. Only those who are highly educated and have a higher eye than their top, and have already developed a noble character.

Hao Fenglou knew all the officials in the court well, and naturally he knew a little about the nature of the Wu Shishou.

Wu Han came out, of course, not discussing academic issues with Hao Fenglou, but said bluntly: "I know a little about Chen Xue's books. After reading this, I realized that it is so absurd, and even some articles are not an exaggeration to say that they are ruthless."

Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "Oh? But I don't know what kind of rebellion is there in this Chen Xue classic?"

Wu Han sneered and said, "The student has read a sentence, "The emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies in the country." Is there any such sentence?"

When he talked about this, Wu Han seemed a little angry. He said viciously: "The son of a thousand gold cannot sit in the hall. Not to mention the emperor, even an ordinary nobleman cannot be placed under the dangerous wall. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the emperor cannot be spoken of. There are civil and military officials to guard this country, so why should the emperor do it for him? What Chen Xue said is a sinister intention..."

Since the Chen Xue incident started, Chen Xue’s classic books have become popular in Jinling. This is not because of the great personal charm of Master Chen. On the contrary, everyone buys books to find loopholes in Chen Xue’s articles or collect evidence of guilt.

This Wu Shishou was one of them. He searched for many books by Chen Xue, carefully considered it, and did his homework. The more he looked at the many remarks in Chen Xue, the more he was surprised, because of the shocking words and the many strange theories inside, in Wu Han's opinion, it was simply turned upside down.

Wu Han is a very smart person. He is different from the censor Hu Jinxian. Hu Jinxian is confused about loopholes in academics, but Wu Han cares about political issues, because in his opinion, no matter how big the academic loophole is, what can be done? The only person who can determine Chen Xue's fate is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. The Emperor said that you say something evil is a demon, and that is the right thing to say.

Therefore, Wu Han searched every day and finally saw the emperor's eyes lit up in the words of guarding the country.

The opportunity is here!

In Wu Han's opinion, Chen Xue's view was a very rebellious point. He actually suggested that the Ming Dynasty move the capital to Beijing, and claimed that Beijing was only a hundred miles away from the border town, and that the emperor was in charge of Beijing. Once something happened, the emperor was in charge of Beijing, which was equivalent to the imperial commander in person.

After seeing this, Wu Han felt relaxed all over. He felt that he had found Chen Xue's life gate. Wu Han was indeed a very smart person, because in his opinion, Chen Xue's remarks were simply despising the imperial power. How noble the emperor would easily defend a country. Raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while, if the soldiers were not used, they could still find generals and generals were not enough. They could also send imperial envoys to control them. Some people in this country guarded it. As for this country, they naturally had to die. Civil and military officials could die, and royal relatives could die, but this king must never die. If the king dies, then what's the use of this country? Chen Xue's such evil words confusing the public. Isn't this intentional slap in the palace? As the emperor, he can't enjoy all his wealth and honor, and only rights, so where does this obligation come from?

Taking this loophole is equivalent to grasping Chen Xue's seven inches. If Your Majesty does not admit that this is a pseudo-school, then wouldn't it mean that you really want to move the capital to Beijing? You must know that the Jinling Flower World has a pleasant climate and how prosperous it is. On the other hand, Beijing is a bitter and cold place, only a hundred miles away from the passes everywhere. Once something happened like the last Beijing defense battle, if you make a mistake, you may be doomed. Chen Xue wants to put the emperor in a dangerous place and ignore the safety of the king. Will the emperor spare them lightly?

When Wu Han said this, many people immediately understood what Wu Han meant, so everyone started talking: "This is really bold, this is unfaithful and unrighteous."

"How can the court be compatible with such evil deeds? In the past, there were encouragement of students to do this, and now they say such ruthless words. They should be investigated, arrested criminals, and burned fake books. Only in this way can we face the hearing."

"Your Majesty is wise, and you will definitely know the holy dictator..."

Zhou Lifan heard Hao Fenglou's morning debate at first, and a hint of expectation ignited in his heart. Seeing that Hao Fenglou was not afraid of danger, or even confident, he couldn't help but mutter, perhaps, he might not be able to count on Hao Fenglou, but when Wu Han's remarks came out, his face suddenly pale and almost collapsed to the ground without any thumping.

This...is clearly a run for the emperor. Is the emperor so able to run for the emperor? Isn't this a deception?

In Fengtian Hall, except for the Emperor and Hao Fenglou, there was only one person who was calm. He was like a bystander outside the matter, looking at the scene in front of him coldly. This person was Yang Shiqi. Yang Shiqi narrowed his eyes and went to see Hao Fenglou. He felt that Hao Fenglou was about to break the deadlock.

Beijing... Why is it Beijing... When Wu Han thought of Beijing, Yang Shiqi raised this question. Logically speaking, Chen Xue and Hao Fenglou were closely related. With Hao Fenglou's prudence, it would be impossible not to control Chen Xue's remarks. The Ming Dynasty was originally a place to punish the crimes with words, and the main responsibility of the Jinyiwei was to investigate the evil words. It would be strange if Hao Fenglou, the commander of the Jinyiwei, gave someone a handle on Chen Xue's remarks. Since that's the case, how could Hao Fenglou reveal such flaws?

unless……

Yang Shiqi suddenly had an idea, unless Hao Fenglou noticed something, Beijing, Beijing, this Beijing is the place of dragon development. Yang Shiqi had been to Beijing with Zhu Di and knew the emperor's feelings for Beijing well... Is Your Majesty moving the capital?

Yang Shiqi took a breath of air. He understood that this was a trap. What's ridiculous is that Wu Han claimed to be smart. He fell into the trap but did not notice it. Instead, he was proud and thought he had found some Shangfang sword.

"What a deep scheming, what a powerful means." Yang Shiqi sighed in his heart.
