"The topic of discussion of Tao is naturally related to the laws of nature."

Cheng Yi still looked hypocritical in the lobby of the Imperial College. Mr. Yichuan, who was worshipped by later Confucian scholars, was already seventy years old at this time. Although he was exhausted and his face was not good-looking, his temperament of a well-educated scholar has not weakened at all. Not to mention that juniors like Wu Haogu cannot compare with those of the Imperial College, even Zhou Chang, the current Imperial College Priest, and Liu Kui, the Imperial College Priest, cannot be compared with him.

In comparison, the Taichang Shaoqing Zhang Lei, who represented Su Dongpo and Wu Haogu, came to the Imperial College, and Chao Buzhi, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, seemed much more relaxed. Both of them leaned against the back of the chair, smiling calmly.

They had letters with Su Dongpo and Su Che, so they naturally knew that this discussion was actually a big counterattack from the old party!

Once you succeed, Mr. Er Su will be the prime minister! And these Su's bachelors will naturally have to end their hardships.

However, both of them seemed as low-key as possible in terms of face. After all, the new party is still in a big way!

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "It would be better to take the Duke Ai in the Book of Rites and said, "Do you dare to ask a gentleman why is it important to be the way of heaven?" He replied to Confucius: "It is not your own. It is like the sun, the moon and the east and west, and it is not your own. It is the way of heaven. If you don't keep it for a long time, it is the way of heaven. It is the way of heaven. It is achieved by inaction, and it is the way of heaven. It is already completed and clear, and it is the way of heaven."

Chao Buzhi said, "You can also use the title of "The Analects of Confucius": 'What does the heaven say? The four seasons go, all things are born, what does the heaven say?'."

Of course, Su Dongpo's two disciples have studied the book "A Trial of Practical Proof of Tao", so the topics they put forward are "Heaven's Way" rather than the law of heaven. In fact, they follow Lao Tzu and Confucius's thought on the way of heaven to exert the positivism proposed by Wu Haogu, which is just used to do this.

Zhou Chang's face was a little gloomy, of course he was a member of the New Party and New School. Of course, he knew that Cheng Yi and Su Dongpo were not good at playing with each other, so he should be chased to Danzhou and not allowed to enter Beijing!

Now I am actually going to discuss the truth in the Imperial College...

Liu Kui, the Imperial College Supervisor, sighed softly: "What does Mr. Yichuan think? If you have no objection, use these two questions."

He knew that the current trend was that his father-in-law Lu Jiawen, who was motivated by Lu Jiawen, had become a victim of the struggle between the two parties, so he wanted the dogs of the old and new parties to bite the dogs, so he would have bitten them to death!

But if you really bite it, who knows what the result will be? What if the new party and new learning really fail...

"I think these two questions are not good, so it is better to take the title of "Mencius. Whose gentleman passes through, and what is stored is the god, and the upper and lower reaches flow with heaven and earth. How can I say it is a small supplement?' and 'Everything is ready for me. If you turn around and be sincere, you will be very happy." Cheng Yi would certainly not let Su Dongpo's disciples give the title, and immediately came up with Mencius's "harmony between man and nature."

His Neo-Confucianism was actually further developed in the theory of "harmony between man and nature".

In fact, after Confucius "seeking the Way" and "seeking the Way of Knowing the Way", Confucianism raised the question of "what is the way of heaven". As a Confucian sub-sage saint after Confucius, Mencius naturally had to try to answer Confucius' questions.

"The unity of man and nature" is Mencius' answer, and the Neo-Confucianism in later generations was the ultimate development of Mencius's thought.

The theory of "harmony between man and nature" can directly point to Wang Anshi's "The changes in heaven are not worth fearing, the ancestors are not worth law, and people's words are not worth caring."

In addition, compared with Confucius' thoughts, Mencius attached more importance to the "people" and also wanted to restrain the "monarch", so there was a theory that "the king is less, the people are more important, and the country is second." Mencius's theory of "harmony between man and nature" is also used to restrain people and kings.

Therefore, Wang Anshi's three fears are completely a denial of Mencius's idea of ​​unity between man and nature and the idea of ​​the people being noble and the king being less suspicious!

Who are Zhou Chang and Liu Kui? Of course, they know what kind of plan the great Confucian Confucianism, Cheng Yi, would do! In fact, Cheng Yi and the others are not afraid. They are all seventy years old this year, and the theories proposed are strange and not the orthodox Confucianism. What really worried them was the master and apprentice Su Dongpo and Wu Haogu, especially the latter...

...

"Is there a question for the Imperial College?"

After Liu Kui walked into Zeng Bu's study, Zeng Hunter, who was buried in a pile of manuscripts, raised his head and looked at the visitors who rushed over at night under the dim light.

"With four questions," Liu Kui smiled bitterly, "The two questions are Confucius' way of heaven, and the two questions are Mencius's unity of man and nature... My husband, Cheng Yi is not giving up!"

"It's right not to give up!" Zeng Bu's tone was cold, "Although Jianzhong Jingguo has been two years, how could the Yuanyou Party members give up?"

"But..." Liu Kui said, "What should we do if the Tao hurts Wang Jinggong's new learning?"

As soon as Su Dongpo came, he had lost control of the Tao! Zhou Chang and Liu Kui didn't know what the result would be.

"I understand." He once preached, "Highway, please go back. I have my own way to deal with the matters discussed."

"Then the official will surrender." Liu Kui arrived quietly, and it was not convenient to stay for a long time. After giving a bow, he retreated.

"Zixuan, things are not easy to handle!"

As soon as Liu Kui left, Cai Jing's voice came from behind a screen. Then he saw the Taifu Temple Queen in plain clothes slowly coming out from behind the screen.

Cai Jing and Zeng Bu have always been disagreeable, and even in private, they rarely interact with each other. Today is not very good. Cai Jing actually visited in a secluded manner while the night was dark.

"Chief Yuan," Zeng Bu looked at him, "You know the official family's mind best... Who does the official family support?"

Cai Jing smiled and said, "Zixuan, you don't know what the official family thinks? He is the one who supports Empress Liu."

"Chang Yuan..." Zeng Bu frowned, "It's too late? You still say such things, and you can't say anything nonsense. If you hear it, you and I will be in trouble."

Cai Jing shook his head repeatedly, "When it comes to understanding the best intentions, Zixuan, you are still a little bit short!"

"How do you say it?" Zeng Bu of course noticed something unusual. He could guess that the officials had a relationship with Empress Liu. It was nothing to be afraid of. People were not afraid of it! A handsome man and a beautiful woman, and they were in love with each other. What's wrong with each other? So Zeng Bu didn't take it seriously, but the nature of letting Empress Liu be Empress Liu is different.

Cai Jing said: "The foundation of ours is not in the new school, but in the work of the government... What the government wants to do now is to make Empress Liu the Queen Mother!"

"What?" Zeng Bu looked at Cai Jing, unable to believe his ears.

"Make Empress Liu the Empress Dowager!" Cai Jing repeated again.

"But, but... Empress Liu is the princess!" Zeng Bu couldn't believe it, "How can I be the queen mother? And the queen mother is older than the queen!"

The Empress Dowager is bigger than the Empress, while the current Empress is bigger than the Empress of the First Emperor. In other words, the first in the harem is now Queen Wang, and then Queen Liu. If Queen Liu becomes the Empress Dowager, then Queen Wang will become the second in the harem.

"Wang, Queen Wang has a son!" Zeng Bu looked at Cai Jing.

Queen Wang's son is the future Emperor Qinzong, now named Zhao Tan, and is named Prince Jingzhao. He is two years old this year... I heard that he has never been sick, and the Hanlin medical officers don't know him! I guess he has followed his father and there is no problem to grow up healthily.

Who would have to take revenge if anyone helped Song Huizong turn Empress Liu into Empress Liu and Zhao Dan came to power in the future? Even if he died, his descendants might be in trouble.

As for Empress Dowager Liu, no matter how he is, he can’t have a son with the official family, right?

Moreover, if the official family dies before the prince becomes an adult, who will come to the court to rule?

Cai Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. I have already told you what the official means. What should I do? You can do it yourself."

...

"Teacher, do you really want to be the prime minister?"

Wu Haogu was on the official ship heading south to Kaifeng Prefecture (because Su Dongpo followed, Wu Haogu was not convenient to whip up quickly), and finally asked a question that he had been holding back for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Su Dongpo looked at Wu Haogu, "Do you think you are not qualified to be a disciple of Xuan Ma to worship the minister?"

"Qualified!" Wu Haogu paused, "and he could be the one, as long as..."

"Say it," Su Dongpo said, "If you have something to say!"

"As long as the teacher can support Empress Liu to be the Empress Dowager!" Wu Haogu also opened his trump card. He has now faced the new party.

Han Zhongyan and Cai Jing alone are not enough to protect themselves. The best way is of course to let the Su Party and the Cai Party go hand in hand.

To make Su Dongpo Xuanma become the prime minister, it is not enough to just talk about the truth, and Su Dongpo has to flatter him. Now there is a chance to flatter him, which is to support Empress Liu to become the empress dowager.

As long as Su Dongpo satisfied Song Huizong in this matter, there should be no problem with his honor.

"Dalang, say it again." Su Dongpo turned his head and looked at Wu Haogu.

"As long as the teacher can support Empress Liu to be the Empress Dowager!"

"Liu Palace... Empress Liu of the late emperor?"

Wu Haogu nodded with a wry smile.

"This is this..." Su Dongpo was surprised and couldn't speak, "Dalang, are you joking with your teacher? Empress Liu is Your Majesty's sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law is like a mother!"

"Is it like a mother? Or is it a step-marriage?"

Take the marriage! Dare to say this...

"Teacher," Wu Haogu whispered, "This matter is indeed inappropriate, so it has not been completed yet. However, the official's determination is below that if the teacher is willing to support him, there is no problem to be a minister."

"But, but the queen has a son!" Su Dongpo shook his head, looking panicked.

If Empress Wang did not give birth to a son, this would be a little ugly. She would do it in order to be the prime minister and work for the country. But now Empress Wang has a son, and Empress Liu cannot have children legally... If there is something wrong with the official family, is it Empress Liu or Empress Wang the emperor? Don’t fight in the palace!
