Chapter 209: Truth

Of course, not all of them are benefits.

The use of Confucian classics as a commentary will naturally arouse the vigilance of other schools.

Especially Huang Lao and the Mo family, if one is not good, they will regard him as a banner for Confucianism and regard him as a thorn in their side.

Confucianism does not necessarily lend a helping hand, after all, "heresy" is more odious than "infidels", and it is not a unique phenomenon of monotheism.

But Tang Qi still said it without hesitation.

The reason is very simple, Liu Che is a very strong emperor, so strong that even the school and the hearts of the people must be controlled in the palm of his hand.

Under the rule of such a powerful emperor, although the battle between schools can be said to be bloody, the basic intensity can still be suppressed.

And compared with the Qin Dynasty, which was full of smoke everywhere, the Western Han Dynasty was a real unified dynasty.

If you want to engage in "ideological enlightenment", there is no more suitable than the Han Wu Dynasty!

"Settle down, I understand the truth of learning from things, but what does that have to do with what you said?"

"Yes, Andinghou, isn't what you said and written all some strange tricks!"

Tai students also have the pride of Tai students, and they are at the top of the pyramid of Han scholars, and they will not easily accept a new knowledge.

Even if this knowledge is backed by the Son of Heaven, it is the same if it is taught by the dignified Guan Neihou!

Tang Qi smiled slightly: "I will think that it is a strange skill, which just shows that your understanding of Gewu Zhizhi is still on the surface." ”

"Let's take the transformation of the three forms of water as an example, before the appearance of the "Reader", Ben Hou also showed the method of making ice from saltpeter in front of His Majesty and all the soldiers."

"As far as I know, many people in Chang'an are also using saltpeter to make ice to store ice?"

The students didn't deny it.

"So what, it's not something that can be elegant!"

"Ice making is just a luxury, and it doesn't match our academic philosophy!"

Tang Qi raised his index finger and waved: "I think so, it's because your thinking is superficial, but you don't seek to understand the real principle." ”

"Have you ever wondered, what is ice? Why does water freeze? What exactly is the principle of saltpeter ice? ”

The torture of the three souls silenced the readers present.

"Ice is a solid state of water, which solidifies when it is cold to the freezing point. In the same way, water evaporates into a gaseous state after being heated, which is water vapor; In the same way that water vapor becomes a visible fog when it is cold, it can be proved that the clouds in the sky are also formed by water vapor when it is cold. ”

"Clouds thicken and return to a liquid state after reaching a certain tipping point, which is rain."

"So, why saltpeter can be used to make ice, do you have an idea?"

Quite a few nodded thoughtfully.

Tang Qi said with a smile: "This is the result of Gewu, the truth of exhausting the 'water', and extending it to the truth of the exhaustion of all things in the world, which is the knowledge of Gewu!" ”

"People all over the world blame the unknown on ghosts and gods, and from then on, they can push everything on ghosts and gods without thinking, and they are happy, but they don't know if the ghosts and gods are watching our jokes."

"My teacher is not like this, but whenever he encounters unknown things, he boldly assumes and carefully verifies them, and strives to clarify all the truths of all things in the world. One generation does not achieve the next generation, the next generation does not achieve the next generation, and it is passed down from generation to generation, just to seek the truth of the world! ”

As soon as the words were spoken, the hall was silent.

The scholars present, no matter what school they were, couldn't help but show solemn expressions.

It was as if the breathing was a little heavier, and it was all an affront to such a shocking declaration!

Looking at Tang Qi standing on the stage, it seems to be shrouded in holy light!

What kind of teacher can teach a protΓ©gΓ© who has such a heart and can put it into practice?

Two-storey attic.

In a private room.

Liu Che stroked his beard and smiled: "According to the son, the father found this gentleman for you, but you found the right one?" ”

Liu Ju's eyes sparkled: "Mr. is the best!" ”

Donch's proclamation continues: "It is not enough to discern the truth, but it is also necessary to spread the truth to the world." ”

"For example, saltpeter makes ice. If we understand that people don't spread the truth to the world, there will be people who pretend to be gods and ghosts to use this method to deceive the people and defraud them of money, and if they succeed, they will be ridiculed for the ignorance of the people! ”

"But after the "Reader" spreads all over the world, everyone knows how water turns into ice, and if such a liar wants to harm people again, even a fool in the mountain village can spit on his face!"

"Good!"

I don't know who started it, and there were bursts of cheers below.

"What a person who spreads the truth all over the world and is a model for us who read!"

"The doctrine of respecting the teacher may not be agreed with below, but the ideal of respecting the master is admired below!"

"No wonder An Dinghou is brilliant in writing, but he writes the "Reader" so vulgarly and shallowly, I didn't understand it before, but now I finally understand it!"

Starting from the contention of a hundred schools of thought, educating the world is the greatest "political correctness" of urban people in the world.

No one will deny this.

The county magistrate, the county guard and other pro-people officials, how many more scholars have increased in the next year of rule, but they can all be publicized as political achievements!

And it is also a great merit for famous masters to go to the countryside and open private schools to teach the people!

Tang Qi's words can be said to have hit the itch of the reader!

Tang Qi struck while the iron was hot, and proudly declared: "Therefore, learning from things is a knowledge that benefits the country and the people, which can not only rectify the truth, but also benefit the people of the world!" ”

This time, no one argued with it.

No matter what school of thought it is, whether you agree with Tang Qi's knowledge or not, the truth is always correct.

Even the disciples of the Mohist family, who hate Confucianism, will not denounce "learning from things" as a crooked way after today.

And smart people can understand that the doctrine that Tang Qi said is certainly very reasonable, but in fact it is incomplete as a separate "school".

It's not a complete school, it's not enough to start a sect.

This would alleviate the hostility of many people.

In particular, the disciples of Confucianism, who are more active, have begun to imagine what a wonderful scene it would be if Tang Qi's doctrine could be subsumed under Confucianism.

But not everyone is at peace.

Tang Qi's knowledge of things is a new gadget that can broaden the horizons and attract most students, even if they are not interested, they will not be hostile.

But for a small number of people, it is digging the roots of their fortune!

Not to mention that on the way to Tang Qi's lectures, he even mocked them by name!

That's right, these people are commonly known as "Taoist priests", but they have little to do with the Huang Lao School at this time.

It is not so much a Taoist priest as a "alchemist" of the Celestial Empire.

They ask God every day, alchemy and medicine refining also have a place in the Han Dynasty.

In the eyes of these people, Tang Qi's so-called "knowledge of things" is simply asking for their life!

So someone shouted: "Settle down, you said that your knowledge can exhaust the truth of the world, then don't you know very well the rules of the growth of all things, the alternation of day and night, the rotation of the four seasons, and the operation of heaven and earth?!" ”
