"Your Majesty didn't come up with anything?" Xu Guangqi asked with a smile, he knew it would be like this.

Since Dong Zhongshu exalted Confucianism alone, the dissipation of the hundred schools of thought, the loss of the lost, the integration of the fusion, in short, the confluence of the last hundred schools, all belong to Confucianism, and there is no independent inheritance, only a glimpse of the classics left by the predecessors.

"I really didn't come up with anything." Looking at the other party's smiling expression, Zhu Youxiao's teeth were a little itchy, this product was definitely intentional.

"There is no substitute for Confucianism, I can create one." Zhu Youxiao did not admit defeat. He is telling the truth, he has a large amount of information from later generations, he has lived in this world for more than 20 years, and with the help of others, he can definitely create a set of doctrines that are in line with the development of this era to replace Confucianism.

"Your Majesty's talent is horizontal, and the old minister believes that His Majesty has this ability, but Your Majesty wholeheartedly creates doctrines, how can you dominate the world, surpass Emperor Qin, Mai Hanwu, and Yue Tang Sect!" Xu Guangqi opened his mouth and hit Zhu Youxiao's death hole again.

Being a Holy Emperor, being a Holy Monarch, and being called the Holy Ancestor after his death is his lifelong goal when he came to this era and knew that he was destined to ascend to the throne in the future, and everything else had to make way for this.

Faced with this question, Zhu Youxiao was speechless and could no longer refute it.

"It is estimated that Your Majesty is secretly scolding the old man in his heart." Xu Guangqi laughed at himself and said, "Actually, Your Majesty is wrong, Confucianism is the most suitable doctrine, and Your Majesty does not need to bother to replace him." ”

"Why?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but ask, there was no longer the depressed mood just now in his heart, and his attention was attracted by this statement.

"Because, Confucianism is always changing!" Xu Guangqi said solemnly, as the leader of Confucianism today and the emperor's most confidant minister, he felt that it was necessary for him to maintain the inheritance of Confucianism.

"Changing?" Zhu Youxiao was puzzled.

"Yes, Your Majesty looks at the history books, and you can see that Confucianism has been changing since the Holy Master and Mr. Yang Ming of this dynasty, and there is no conclusion, and the words are still these words, but the interpretations are not the same. If His Majesty is not satisfied with the content of the Confucian doctrine in the imperial examination today, the change is that there is no need to bother to create a doctrine. Xu Guangqi's words came out, and they had an earth-shattering effect.

Even if Zhu Youxiao heard it, he was very surprised, if these words spread out, I am afraid it will be the rhythm of everyone shouting and beating.

"You all go down." At this time, Zhu Youxiao became serious and drove out all the servants except Liu Ruoyu.

"Hey, my majesty, why don't you talk about the old slave and drive it out." Liu Ruoyu sighed in his heart while chasing people, listening to the words of these two big guys, his heart was also shocked, there was no peace, and he had to pay attention to secrecy, not to leak out, otherwise the emperor would find trouble.

This feeling is really very tormenting, it's better not to listen!

Unconsciously, the topic of the two has unfolded from the very beginning of marriage to the imperial examination, and now the foundation of governing the country, and they have not noticed this change. Maybe I found it, but I think it's normal, after all, the imperial examination is a national talent ceremony, one of the fundamental systems of the feudal dynasty, and the fundamental ideology of governing the country is one and two and two, and the two are one, and it is normal to have this kind of expansion and extension.

Seeing that the irrelevant people and others were emptied, Xu Guangqi and Zhu Youxiao continued to talk about the topic in depth.

"Taizu founded the country, based on Zhuzi's doctrine, with the four books as the scope of the examination, and the eight shares as the genre, laying the imperial examination system for more than 200 years in the dynasty.

"Your Majesty's view of the former Song Dynasty and my imperial examination are completely different in content, but both are Confucian. This is the nature of Confucianism, and the birth of children is dominated by the emperor, and the emperor can become whatever he wants. Xu Guangqi said these words very explicitly, but it did expose the essence of Confucianism thoroughly.

When translated, it is in the service of the ruling class. After listening, Zhu Youxiao nodded silently, throughout history, Confucianism has always been like this. When the Manchus entered the customs and wanted to turn the Han people into slaves, Confucianism served them, so there was a cynical doctrine.

Next to him, Liu Ruoyu was sweating when he heard it, but in this winter, he felt hot all over, and he couldn't wait to carry a bucket of water to pour it off his head. This is special, wait a minute, Your Majesty will not suddenly turn around and say, you know too much, and then click yourself.

Unconsciously, Liu Ruoyu touched his neck to see if his head was still there.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know what this eunuch who grew up with him was thinking, but he just thought about it along Xu Guangqi's train of thought.

Confucianism is to serve the ruler, and he can become whatever he wants, even if he wants to develop natural science, he can also add it, as for some other ideas, the theory of wealth of nations, the usage of merchants, foreign policy and national policies, etc., he must still learn from the West.

Compared with the two, these measures of the Ming Dynasty are simply kind like a little white rabbit, and they can't survive in the bloody era in the future at all, and can only deal with hooligans by hooliganism.

The best example is Sun Tzu, his tactics of using troops, what is the tired strategy of attacking in turns, what is taking advantage of the gap in dealing with the transfer of power, in the etiquette of the Spring and Autumn Period, they are all scoundrels and hooligans, and they are to be condemned, but with these tricks, Sun Tzu simply captured the capital of Chu with the small number of troops of Wu State, not only leaving his name for eternity, but Wu State also became one of the overlords.

On the other hand, the Manchu Qing at the end of the later generations was shameless enough for their own families, but they were not shameless to the outside world, but a group of people clinged to the dignity of the Celestial Empire, and finally became the meat of foreigners.

Thinking of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao unexpectedly thought of a very popular slogan, "Middle school is the body, Western learning is for use." ”

And by the way, he thought of a slogan that he didn't know which novel he had seen before, "Rupi Fa Bone Taoist Meat!" ”

And at this moment, Xu Guangqi said with a smile, "Your Majesty asked Feng Congwu to take the Hanlin Academy to compile the Hundred Schools of Doctrine, isn't it just this thought, at that time, Your Majesty may have just done it instinctively, and did not think of the joints inside, but now that the old minister said this, Your Majesty should have a plan." ”

Hearing Xu Guangqi's question, Zhu Youxiao subconsciously read this sentence out and counted it as an answer, "Middle school is the body, and Western learning is for use!" ”

"What?" Xu Guangqi was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Rupi Fa Bone Taoist Meat!" Zhu Youxiao answered the question again.

Hearing this, Xu Guangqi stopped asking, he knew that he couldn't ask anything, and the emperor was in a state of deep thought at this time, and it was obvious that these two sentences were the conclusions he thought about, and they were also the answer to how the emperor wanted Confucianism to change just now.

"Middle school is the body, Western learning is for use; Rupi Fa bone Taoist meat. Xu Guangqi muttered these two sentences and slowly fell into deep thought.

The word middle school is very easy to understand, referring to the study of the central government, the study of China, and it is obvious that His Majesty refers to the Ming Dynasty, or the study of China. And the body is also very named, it is the meaning of the root, the essence, the ontology.

As for Western learning, it is obvious that it came from the West, that is, the knowledge brought by Western missionaries that is very popular today, what Socrates, Aristotle, these are all things. For Western studies, Xu Guangqi of the entire Ming Dynasty thinks that he is the second, and no one dares to be the first except for the emperor.

Geometry was originally translated by him, and the terms geometry, algebra, and functions were all created and translated by him, which is very vivid.

And using this word, it obviously refers to the strong ships and cannons from the West, to tell the truth, Xu Guangqi also admitted that these ships and cannons are really powerful, look at the emperor's navy, they are basically imitations, very powerful, the pirates who swept the entire Chinese sea area forced the family to dare not drift, and honestly took the sea.

There are many others, such as calendars, arithmetic, glass, etc., and the technology brought by Western learning is very convenient. And this word refers to these, the convenience of the things produced under these learnings.

Chinese and Western use!

What an incisive summary, a sentence that says a new way out of Confucianism, as long as this sentence can be realized, Confucianism will usher in great prosperity again!

Thinking of this, Xu Guangqi's eyes lit up a little, although he entered Catholicism, although he talked eloquently in front of the emperor, Confucianism is nothing great, and it will be replaced, but from the bottom of his heart, he is full of feelings for Confucianism.

The doctrine that has been inherited for more than 2,000 years, from elementary school to adulthood, has been engraved into the bones, and it really makes him overthrow and replace it with a doctrine, Xu Guangqi is really reluctant, and even unwilling to dare.

The reason why he entered Catholicism is also because the ideas in it are very novel, which have not been touched by traditional doctrines, and in order to have in-depth contact, he joined in baptism, and the ultimate goal is actually to find a new way out for Confucianism.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the scholars and doctors had already felt such a predicament under the frequent invasion of foreign enemies, Confucianism was not enough to save the country, and it needed to change, and such attempts abound in the entire history at that time, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, Li Zhen, they are all doing such efforts and discussions, and the three of them are among the best.

It's just a pity that such a process was completely interrupted by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and in the end Confucianism completely degenerated and decayed, becoming a corrupt iron curtain that imprisoned people's hearts, and no longer had any vitality, and finally became cynical.

However, today's incisive sentence of Chinese and Western use made Xu Guangqi see a new place and direction, and he felt that he had a goal to study.

Your Majesty is really a genius!

With such admiration, he went on to analyze the sentence that the emperor whispered behind him, "Rupi Fa Bone Taoist Meat!" ”
