Ye Xianggao didn't expect that Yang Lian would speak so bluntly, so he couldn't help but cup his hands and said: "When it comes to magnanimity, I am not as good as Wen Ru."
Zhu Youxiao also held up his hands and said: "Yang Qing's words are exactly what he said.
The knowledgeable people in Donglin are opposed to party struggle, but Donglin has to sink deeper and deeper into the abyss of party struggle, unable to pull out.
This seems to be It’s a paradox, but I actually think it’s easy to understand.”
"The biggest problem of the Donglin people is the debate between the gentleman and the villain.
The gentleman and the villain were originally used to distinguish nobles and commoners, and have no moral meaning.
When the sage comes out, he proposes to be close to the gentleman and stay away from the villain.
That is also It just points out that we should strengthen our moral cultivation and move closer to being a gentleman.
It is a hope, not a standard, and it does not require everyone to be a gentleman."
"And the sage did point out the difference between the gentleman and the villain.
The gentleman is magnanimous, while the villain is compassionate.
The gentleman is about righteousness, and the villain is about profit.
But the sage does not completely deny the villain, and wants the world to be like a villain.
"Gentleman."
"However, the people of Donglin have taken this to the extreme.
As long as they have different political opinions, they will call each other a villain and regard themselves as a gentleman.
I am very dissatisfied with this approach.
How many people in the world can be called a gentleman?
Why do you Donglin people think you are a gentleman and others are villains?
Is it you Donglin people who set this standard?
Who gave you this power?"
"Donglin people are good at threatening public opinion.
They always say that their opinions are the opinions of the people.
When you open your mouth, the world will be angry, everyone will hate it, and everyone in the world will kill you.
You are like a spokesperson for the people of the world.
You A small group in just one province can represent the people of the world."
Zhu Youxiao's voice got louder and louder, and the faces of Ye Xianggao and Yang Lian became paler.
Both of them are sensible people.
From what the emperor said, although they may be a little biased in some places, overall there is no problem.
Since the Donglin Party was formed, it has been fighting against the Chu Party, the Zhejiang Party, the Qi Party, and even the emperor.
Those who disagreed with it denounced it as a heretic.
It has gained a huge reputation, but it has also established a great reputation.
More enemies were dropped.
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly handed over the tea, and Zhu Youxiao took it and drank it in one sip, then said: "Are the Donglin Party members gentlemen?
Looking at this file, I'm afraid not necessarily.
According to the standards of saints, how many gentlemen can there be in this world?
Come on, there are a bunch of hypocrites in this world, it’s better to have a bunch of real villains.”
Ye Xianggao was shocked: "Your Majesty, these words, these words" Zhu Youxiao laughed and said: "Master Ye, you said what I said is ridiculous.
Master Ye, please listen to me and see if it makes sense.
A gentleman cherishes virtue, while a villain cherishes earth; a gentleman cherishes punishment, while a villain cherishes favor.
I think What's wrong with being kind to others?
A gentleman asks for help from himself, and a villain asks for help from others.
If there's something you can't solve yourself, what's wrong with asking for help from others?"
Note, this sentence has different interpretations.
"We can't ask everyone in the Ming Dynasty to become gentlemen, nor can they all become gentlemen.

Isn't it good that gentlemen are poor?
Why don't you live a better life through your own efforts?
So I said I would rather the world is full of real villains. , instead of being all hypocrites.”
With this said, Ye Xianggao had no way to refute, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Yang Lian said: "Your Majesty means not to have too high demands on people.
Even if they are villains, as long as they abide by the law and have their own moral integrity, there is actually no problem, right?"
Zhu Youxiao said: "Yeah, don't mention ethics, just say it's the bottom line.
As long as villains don't hurt others when pursuing what they want to pursue, that's fine.
If everyone in the world could If you can do this, Ming Dynasty will really be like heaven.
Why do you need so many gentlemen to blame others?"
Ye Xianggao also said: "Yes, Donglin people have an obsession, that is, they hope that everyone in the world will be a gentleman.
But I didn't expect that it would end up like this.
This file looks so ironic."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Sometimes we work hard in one direction, but in the end we find ourselves going in another direction.
This is normal.
Especially when the direction of our efforts is originally something illusory, the kind of unattainable The disillusionment of the goal will completely shatter the ideal and lead to the opposite of one’s original goal.”
"Some people think that everyone in this world should be equal.
This is not wrong.
Everyone should be equal in terms of dignity and life.
But they think that they should also be equal in terms of property.
This is a bit paranoid and unreasonable.
In the end, they will find that this is a goal that can never be achieved.
Then they will first pursue the equality they need, that is, their property equality is higher than that of others.
The Donglin people's dream of establishing a country of gentlemen in the Ming Dynasty is very similar to the pursuit of these people.
In the end, the direction is the same.
He turned into a true hypocrite because of the opposite of what he pursued.
This file is proof of that. " Yang Lian asked with some confusion: "What your Majesty said was that Dong Lin's initial discussion between gentlemen and villains finally led to the current result."
Zhu Youxiao said: "Yes, the idea of sage Donglin is good.
He wants gentlemen everywhere and the world to be unified.
However, this idea itself is not necessarily right.
As I just said, everyone in the world has equal property. , this is not right, at least it is impossible to achieve within a foreseeable time period, then this idea is wrong. " "People in Donglin should focus their efforts on a goal with visible results.
For example, let everyone understand the importance of abiding by laws and regulations, so that everyone can have a relatively decent and dignified life.
Life.
This is difficult, but at least it can be achieved through continuous efforts.
If you want to make all Ming people a gentleman, you will know that it is impossible. " Ye Xianggao and Yang Lian didn't understand why there was water in their heads, but it didn't prevent them from understanding Zhu Youxiao's basic meaning.
What the emperor means is that Donglin people like imaginary things too much and do not implement them on the ground.
Although the crux has been pointed out, it is extremely difficult to change this.
This does not mean that it can be solved by issuing an imperial edict.
Ye Xianggao said: "Your Majesty, you have always valued practical results over empty words.
Even among the people in Donglin, some people have understood it.
Xiangzuo Shilang changed his past habit of criticizing current affairs and turned to study the water conservancy situation in the north. , is the clear proof.”
Yang Lian said: "What is good at the top will be very bad at the bottom."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Yang Qing's words are reasonable.
I want to change Donglin according to my own ideas, so I need to ask my two dear friends to help me
