Section 225: The Doctrine of Advancement
Jiang Tian's opening speech can be said to be explosive in this era, although Confucianism is obviously not as favored by the emperor as science in this year, but at least two thousand years of Confucianism still has merit, and now the culture of the Han family is based on Confucianism, which cannot be changed even if you want to.
So in the morning, those children were okay to say, but in the afternoon, when they faced a group of national examination trainees with the highest academic qualifications, it immediately caused an uproar. A middle-aged student immediately stood up and retorted: "Don't judge the length of the eight strands, only test the strange and skillful skills, you must know that the ancestors' laws cannot be changed at will, isn't this deviant!" β
"Ancestors made the law? Whose ancestors? Jiang Tian looked at the student with a sneer: "Let me ask you, since the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, when did you change to use the Eight Shares to take scholars?" β
"This ......" This person is not stupid, and immediately realizes that he seems to have said the wrong thing.
Without waiting for him to come up with a countermeasure, Jiang Tian directly said for him: "Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang in order to control Confucianism, set eight shares as the main policy theory supplemented by the imperial examination regulations, today's new dynasty and new atmosphere, you actually said that the new dynasty and new system is to change the ancestral law, you use the rules of the previous dynasty to talk about the affairs of the current dynasty, what is your intention?" β
Jiang Tian's words were unhurried, but the listener was in a cold sweat, Confucian scholars have always wanted to follow the system of the Ming Dynasty, because they are familiar with the rules of that system, and scholars have the privilege of overriding other classes.
The current imperial court not only took back those privileges, but also asked them to ensure the purity of the class of the imperial examination to change the rules, which is the reason why the gentry class represented by Confucianism was unhappy, in fact, as long as their interests were guaranteed, it didn't matter who became the emperor, the historical Manchu Qing is an example.
After all, there is not much intersection between Confucianism at the end of the Ming Dynasty and Confucianism in the pre-Qin period, and now the so-called gentry are completely capitalists, but there is a fig leaf called Confucianism in front of them, which is also one of the reasons why ancient China could not give birth to capitalism @ζ¬@δΈ»@righteousness. In this regard, China's monopoly class is smarter than its European counterparts, and it was not until the second half of the twentieth century that European and American capitalists understood the importance of being delinquent women and boasting of themselves as moral models.
Since Jiang Tian said it, he simply said to the end: "The people who advocate the Eight Strands of Scholars and uphold the orthodoxy of Lixue really want to be the filial son and grandson of Cheng Zhu Lixue?" I don't think so. This official is also a person who has taken the eight shares, and he has seen that when Hu Lu entered Kou Cangsheng and hung upside down, what is useless is a scholar.
In this theory, the horse cannot protect the territory and the people, and the horse cannot enrich the country and strengthen the army, so what is the use? You and others are all righteous and subtle words, what they are trying to do is just fame and fortune after the title of the gold list, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is confused, and today's Son of Heaven is not easy to fool!
Besides, if you really want to uphold Confucian orthodoxy, this theory is a heresy that deviates from the scriptures. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the Hundred Schools, it was the Ram School that had merit, what does it have to do with you? The Confucian scholars of the Ram School assisted the Han Dynasty and could expand the territory of the Quartet, and when the science was born, the Southern Song Dynasty was a corner of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty, if it were not for today's efforts to turn the tide, I am afraid that it would also follow in the footsteps of the Song Dynasty. β
I have all heard that Master Jiang is good at argumentation, and when he became famous, he ridiculed the world's scholars for not being a gentleman, but today these people have not seen it with their own eyes after all, and now they are just as soon as they open their mouths, they are smashed back by a series of heart-beating words, and they don't give you the opportunity to quote the classics, because your classics have been criticized as worthless, and they directly use history to deal with you.
The middle-aged man in his early years was so angry that his face turned red, but he didn't know where to start, since the death of Confucius, Confucianism was divided into eight factions during the Warring States Period, and finally Dong Zhongshu led the Ram School to complete the great cause of turning positive.
But the price is that he must change his knowledge according to the emperor's preferences, and he is no longer the same as the pre-Qin. The state also adopted the system of external Confucianism and internal law, it can be said that Dong Zhongshu made a good start to keep pace with the times, although it was spurned by other schools of thought at that time, but it allowed Confucianism to always justify itself in order to meet the needs of the times, so that it did not disappear into history like other hundred schools.
The science of science is the theory of preparation for the large agricultural empire, so the Ming and Qing dynasties ruled the country with science has its inevitability, but Zhang Tao and Jiang Tian want to establish an industrial civilization, and the argument of blindly pursuing class solidification in science is of no use in the face of the industrial revolution.
These scholars left behind in the Ming Dynasty did not understand what the Industrial Revolution was, but they knew that the New Dynasty was going to dig up their ancestral graves and cut their roots! But let Jiang Tian ask in a tone of whether you want to rebel, but no one dared to take another step, they were really frightened by Zhang Tao.
In the past, these people dared to speak up because they firmly believed that they could not punish doctors and courtesy. Which emperor of the Ming Dynasty dared to beat the minister, that was to be drowned by spittle, and the beaten person also became the embodiment of opposing the tyrant, and was admired by the world's scholars, but all this has changed in the Chinese Dynasty, Emperor Zhang not only beat you, but this Jiang Tian also has a group of storytellers and singers, walking the streets and alleys to ruin your reputation.
The right to speak and information that was originally in the hands of the gentry has become something that the peddlers and pawns have, not to mention that the common people are not easy to deceive, even the fig leaf of "being upright and asking for the people's life" in the past may be stripped to nothing. Jiang Tian not only knows this trick, but also plays it more thoroughly than you.
Seeing that the scholar who was still indignant just now, he couldn't stand or sit, and he didn't dare to shoot the case and leave to say that Lao Tzu was against the New Deal. Lin Yi, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't help sneering in his heart, since he came here to take classes, he had the intention of fame and fortune, so what else to say about maintaining orthodoxy was nothing more than that the sour Confucians wanted to sell their fame and reputation.
Jiang Tian saw that no one was clamoring anymore, so he said: "Today, let you start as a junior official, just to get rid of the ills of the previous dynasty, lest you only know how to talk about it one by one, but you will bring disaster to the country and the people when you do things.
It's you who cook Xiaoxian, and it's you who say that the gentleman cooks far away, and you haven't even cooked before, you know how to cook Xiaoxian! This dynasty wants to expand its territory, to enrich the country and strengthen the people, there is no need for this kind of unresponsible person, now those who are willing to cocoon their hands as officials can stay, and those who think it is insulting can leave, I will refund his tuition! β
After Jiang Tian said this, except for a few who were really dead-eyed, most of them didn't move, just like Lin Yi thought, these people were originally very utilitarian, how could they give up the opportunity to be an official, even the person who refuted Jiang Tian at the beginning lowered his head and didn't move.
After a few sporadic people left, Jiang Tian said to the instructor on the side: "Write down the people who left, these people under my rule will never be used, and also write down what I said today, and post it in front of the examination registration office. β
When Jiang Tian sighed, Zhang Huan and the others quietly slipped out of the classroom, originally he just wanted to hear the difference between the training of this civil servant and his own course, but he didn't expect to hear the legendary Jiang Tian tongue battle group Confucianism, but the combat effectiveness of these people is obviously not good.
Liu Baokai, who accompanied him, also said with emotion: "I haven't seen anyone rushing to find a scolding for a long time, and after staying in the capital for a long time, I have forgotten that there are such self-conscious people in the world." β
To be honest, Jiang Tian's debate level is not necessarily as high as those who are full of knowledge, but the problem is that he doesn't play cards according to the routine in his debate, and the readers in the world are all in the same vein as Confucianism, so the real debate is also within the scope of Confucian classics, which is like a group of monks talking about the interpretation of the world in the Buddhist scriptures, and suddenly an old Taoist chats with you with the Tao Te Ching. The key is that if you can't talk about it, forget it, this old Tao is still worshiped by the emperor as a national teacher, and Taoist classics should be popularized all over the world......
And the most important thing is that there are too many black materials in the late Ming Dynasty, and the main body of the eunuch party attacked by the Donglin Party also has a group of civil officials who have come up from the scientific examination, and the Donglin Party uses a posture that Lao Tzu is a gentleman and you are a villain to obtain authority, and the things that are not as good as the level of the eunuch party when they were in power can catch a lot of them. Jiang Tian used this kind of deeds to attack the people who read all over the world, which is really not easy to argue.
Wu Yuan stood in the courtyard and looked at the classroom behind him, and said with emotion: "Obviously, every time Your Majesty intends to keep Mr. away from this useless dispute and focus on other practical matters, but every time Mr. can jump out and attract others to attack, this time he will post what he has said......"
Wu Yuan shook his head as he spoke, Song Yi was also very touched by this, he knew very well how much energy Jiang Tian could exert if he was only a technical official like his grandfather. But every time the country's foreign and domestic affairs are inseparable from Lord Jiang's participation, it is really a waste of time, but their family's family motto is not to participate in party disputes, so Song Yi will never express any opinion on this.
But I saw Zhang Huan shaking his head: "Brother Wu, this is only one of them, but I don't know the other!" β
The others saw that he seemed to have something high, so they also asked curiously, after all, there are not many opportunities to give the prince a show, so he must make good use of it.
Zhang Huan is still quite proud to be concerned by these senior brothers, after all, the young prince has always been taught to be low-key and humble, so he shook his head and said: "Mr. seems to be angry with these rotten Confucians today, but in fact, every word he said has a deep meaning. And the father has always wanted to keep Mr. away from this kind of meaningless quarrel, but every time Mr. makes a high statement at the right time, in fact, this is a tacit understanding between their brothers and sisters! β
Wu Yuan chuckled in his heart, he was not too surprised by the prince's opinion, but he found that the prince had unconsciously begun to interpret political issues, and listening to the meaning of this head, there were more terrible things to say later.
Liu Pervert, who has very low political sensitivity, was confused when he heard this, so he could only frown and ask: "What is the tacit understanding that His Highness said?" β
Zhang Huan enjoyed the feeling of being consulted, and there were no outsiders around anyway, so he answered as a teacher: "Brother Liu, think about it, every time my father wants to attack these obstacles to reform, our husband is entrusted with a heavy task to stay away from the court, and then wait for the dust to settle before he can return to Beijing to perform his duties." And Mr. is even more interesting, every time he openly anti-Confucianism, it is at the critical moment of the implementation of the new policy, when the wrestling between the father and the gentry tends to balance and neither can help the other, Mr.'s high arguments not only attract firepower for the father in a timely manner, but also play a role in disrupting the situation and pushing for reform! β
Liu Baokai squinted his eyes and frowned for a moment, and suddenly his eyes widened and he suddenly came to his senses: "That's really the case!" β
"In fact, this is not only the case in the matter of anti-Confucianism, but also in many things related to the society of the country. As it is now, on the surface, the balance between the reformers and the gentry has tended to be balanced again, and no one has made any major moves, but the father and emperor have stationed Mr. here to establish an experimental area, which is itself a move, so there are a large number of impeachment of Mr. to disrupt the local twists and turns, but all of them are left behind. Then when everyone in the world was ready to target his father, Mr. stood up again......"
This time, Jiang Tian's remarks were even more ruthless than before, and he used to just say that the world's scholars were half-witted and unworthy of calling themselves gentlemen. Now it is directly said that science is the main culprit that caused the collapse of the Ming Dynasty to the country and the people, and you can imagine how righteous indignation the scholars in the world will be when this statement comes out. But what about that? If you have the ability, you can come and beat people!
Not to mention that Xiucai rebelled for three years, or that he really beat the court officials because of verbal discord, and the rules of this new dynasty do not have a clause that it is not illegal for scholars to beat people. Even if you come to debate, you have to see if Master Jiang has time to deal with you, even if you do, it is directly a sentence: The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were all born in science, right? Did the world of the Ming Dynasty perish under the control of these science scholars? Don't tell me about natural and man-made disasters, why didn't the Han let the alien invasion even if it was like that? Because the Confucianism of the Han Dynasty didn't have science, right?
This set of logical traps is set down, although you know that this is a strong word, but you can't find the possibility of denial, the worst thing is that it doesn't matter whether you yourself are surrounded by him, but Jiang Tian's words can spread the ability of women and children to know, so that the common people believe that it is the world where you are in trouble, and the gentry are really called heaven and earth are not spiritual. The only consolation is that Jiang Tian has limited access to places.
After the prince said his analysis, he really impressed the people present, he had such insight at a young age, in the previous words, this is the successor of the Chinese Dynasty!
But it's not over, Zhang Huan may be addicted, and continues to shake his head to show his findings: "All this is just the surface, in fact, Mr. doesn't know that his father wants him to do practical things and talk less, but every time he jumps out to attract attention, he is actually in conflict with his father. In fact, the fundamental contradiction between Mr. and Father does not lie in this. β
"Oh? Why is that ......" Liu Baokai asked naturally, completely ignoring Wu Yuan's face that began to change color.
The fake prince is the fake prince, it is impossible to stop the real prince from talking, and it is too late to stop it, I saw Zhang Huan smile slightly: "Because my father doesn't care if the throne can be continued, but Mr. wants to keep my Zhang family's dragon chair stable!" β
Liu Pervert's face instantly petrified after hearing this, even if his political sensitivity was relatively low, he knew that he had heard something he shouldn't have heard, and secretly glanced at Wu Yuan and Song Yi, but these two people looked at the sky in unison, with an expression that I didn't hear.
Although Liu Baokai is lustful, he is not stupid, he knows that this kind of topic is too sensitive to be discussed in depth, especially not with the people in front of him, but the sudden cold scene makes him not know how to speak. Fortunately, at this time, Jiang Tian walked out of the classroom with an angry look, giving him a chance to change the topic.
The few people outside saw Jiang Tian coming out, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, no matter what, they were also their own teachers. Jiang Tian waved his hand: "Why did you come out, I thought that those who could come to class would at least be more cautious, how could there be people who sell their reputation and reputation mixed in." β
Wu Yuan hurriedly replied: "In the past three hundred years, the so-called scholars have all been science scholars, and presumably this kind of thing will emerge in an endless stream in the future." β
Jiang Tian could only sigh: "In fact, there is no good or bad in science, but it's a pity that the nerds in the world are either bad or stupid, and the stupid let the bad ones be deceived, and they think they are the heroes who save the world when they do bad things." β
As soon as the conversation changed, Jiang Tian said: "But it's not that Qianming hasn't had people and schools that have done practical things, it's just that they themselves are not angry, but fortunately, I saw one today." β
Everyone thought about it for a while, and they didn't quite know what he saw, but Wu Yuan subconsciously asked, "What did Mr. say about Yang Ming Xinxue?" β
"Exactly! I know you want to say that Yangming Xinxue changed after Wang Shouren died, but there is still a Taizhou school left. β
Wu Yuan opened his mouth, but finally held back and didn't speak, this Taizhou faction is of course the Xianxue of the late Ming Dynasty compared to the other schools of Xinxue, and there have been many great Confucians in the world, but the doctrine of this faction is too ......
If we want to say that the real ideological emancipation movement in the late Ming Dynasty was set off by the Taizhou faction, especially the most famous scholar Xu Guangqi of the faction, it can be said that he almost changed the trajectory of Chinese history, but it is a pity that this great scientist was still unable to defeat his own fate in the end, and he could not change the fate of the whole of China. It wasn't until Wei Yuan, who compiled the "Atlas of the Sea Kingdom" more than 200 years later, that he re-copied the banner of Western learning and the east, but at this time it was renamed Shiyi Changji to control it.
The fake prince didn't dare to say it, but the real prince didn't have any taboos, and he was excited as if he had discovered a new world: "What did Mr. say, but the Taizhou faction that treats people and peddlers and pawns equally, and is denounced as a deviant?" β
"It is precisely that although the disciples talk about Zen, they actually preach the equality of all beings everywhere."
"Yes!" The prince clapped his hands excitedly: "Father and Emperor reform and want to redefine Confucianism, how can he let go of this school that is regarded as a beast by Confucianism." β
Jiang Tian shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity, although their doctrine has its own uniqueness, it is too ...... Ahead of its time! β
