Wang Jian himself couldn't explain clearly, he thought for a while, and replied: "University, then naturally learn the way of university." ”

This "way of the university" is the first sentence of the opening sentence in the Confucian classic "University", and the old professor nodded with satisfaction: "It turns out that it is still ah, the emperor just rest assured, the old minister will urge them every day, practice the words of the sage, and practice the line of the sage." ”

Why did you go around to the Confucian classics again?

Wang Jian hurriedly said: "I said it's not a university!" ”

The old professor was puzzled again: "What kind of university is that?" ”

Wang Jian: ... It's you MMP

Wang Jian didn't bother to explain: "You just need to know that from now on, the scholars of the academy are all my protégés, and they don't have to read any Confucian classics, and the focus of their study must also be changed, and they must learn civil science from the vast number of working people!" ”

Bi Maokang was thoughtful, and he took the lead in asking: "Dare to ask the emperor, what is a civil science?" ”

"Civil science is a profession, do you understand the major? You don't understand? It's okay, I didn't understand it at first. ”

This concept is too shocking, Wang Jian decided to throw the blame on his other identity: "I heard Wang Jian, the commander of Jinyiwei, say that civil science involves a wide range of fields, such as farmers who farm land, they know how to farm better than you, and their experience is civil science; Another example is the blacksmith who strikes iron and the craftsman who prepares gunpowder, they also have more experience in making bubble dragons than you, and their experience is also civilian. There are also craftsmen who fire porcelain, craftsmen who raise silkworms and draw silk to make silk, they are all of them. ”

"In short, Wang Jian told me that we should gather talents from all walks of life in Jinan Prefecture, and the scholars should be responsible for recording their valuable experiences dictated, and then studying, delving, and finally turning them into their own experiences."

Wang Jian talked eloquently, and the old professor couldn't help it anymore: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!" Those craftsmen who do not enter the stream, how can they be compared with saints, this is a great disrespect to saints! ”

Wang Jian's words made the scholars in Jinan no longer read the Confucian classics, and even let the scholars who read the books of the sages learn from a group of clay-legged and blacksmiths, and worship them as teachers, so where does the face of the saint remain?

The old professor was about to explode, in his eyes, Wang Jian could give the emperor this kind of treacherous trick that lost his conscience, he was simply the biggest traitor in the world, ten thousand times more hateful than Yan Song and Wei Zhongxian!

Yan Song and Wei Zhongxian are just dictatorships and disorderly government, which is a temporary harm; As a eunuch, Wang Jian wants to destroy the eternal foundation of Confucianism and uproot Confucianism.

The old professor immediately blew his beard and glared, and he said, "Your Majesty, how can this sage's learning be abolished?" Please think twice! ”

Unexpectedly, his advice was useless, Wang Jian still said: "I not only want them to learn from the working people, but I also want to write a book of the experience they have learned and pass it on to future generations..."

As the saying goes, there are "three immortals". Taishang Lide, followed by meritorious service, followed by speech. The old professor had read Confucian classics and taught books all his life, but in the end he didn't even have a chance to write a book and speak up.

Now that the emperor wants to build a university, even those ninth-rate craftsmen have the opportunity to "make a statement", and they will be able to live for generations in the future, how can he bear it?

Not only him, but even the other people next to him who had been afraid to speak couldn't bear it anymore.

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach Wang Jian. Wang Jian is the remnant of Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party, and he is actually a great traitor, with seven major crimes: first, he is tied with the emperor, second, he despises ethics, third, he disrespects his ancestors, fourth, he manipulates military power, fifth, he has no saints, sixth, he exploits businessmen, and seventh, he accepts bribes! The piles and piles are well documented, please let the emperor know! ”

"The minister also asks for the removal of Wang Jian!"

"Reconsideration!"

"The minister also reconsiders!"

...

Every time others said a crime against Wang Jian, the old professor kept hitting the ground with the crutches in his hand: "How can this be reasonable, is it tolerable or unbearable!" ”

When Wang Jian heard so many people scolding him, he was also angry: "You all shut up, Lao Tzu is still tolerable with shit, but unbearable with urine." ”

Everyone saw that the emperor was furious, and they didn't dare to say any more, but the old professor didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed, the foundation of my Ming Dynasty is to respect the ancestors and sages, those craftsmen who are three rotten, how can they enjoy such honor, and where does the emperor want to put me and other scholars?!" ”

Wang Jian took a deep breath: he didn't dare to argue with these brainless people, if he said to them, "I don't like your Confucian classics", I was afraid that with their stubbornness, they would die on the spot.

Wang Jian had no choice but to ease up and said: "The study of the sage naturally has to be read, but it's not reading it now, the most important thing now is to hoard grain and grass, strengthen military equipment, and resist the Qing army going south..."

The old professor interrupted Wang Jian's words, and he said: "The emperor doesn't need to be alarmist, the old minister only knows that the study of the saint is the great road of the world, and you can't not do it for a day, and you can't stop reading it for a day." Besides, the Tartars who have lived in a bitter cold land for a long time, and are said to be emaciated, and they do not know etiquette, nor do they learn the scriptures, are they the opponents of the state of etiquette of our Ming Dynasty? As long as the emperor continues to respect Confucius and Shangru, they will naturally be inspired to win without a fight! ”

Wang Jian took a step back, this old immortal was endless, and he was also annoyed: "What I want is not a mouth cannon, what I want is a huge cannon that can be fired and sounded, and can protect the family and defend the country. Can you lead troops to war? Can you dissuade thieves and tartars?

Wang Jian asked three questions in a row, and every sentence hit the key point of Confucianism, Confucianism may have a set of governance for the family and country, but it is really not good for Confucianism to invent and create, promote social productivity, and lead troops to fight.

Wang Jian's words changed in the ears of the old professor, which was tantamount to contempt and insult to Confucianism and the sages of the past dynasties.

How could the old professor have been so humiliated, he pointed at Wang Jian angrily: "Faint monarch, faint monarch, the first emperors of the Ming Dynasty, my Ming Dynasty is going to die in the hands of this faint monarch!" After he finished speaking, he was so angry that he suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and he couldn't survive.

Bi Maokang and the others exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly asked someone to carry the old professor down for treatment.

Bi Maokang also felt that it was too unbelievable for Wang Jian to change the academy into a university, and he persuaded: "Your Majesty, can this matter be postponed?" ”

Even the enlightened Bi Maokang was opposed, and Wang Jian had to think about whether he had built the university too hastily.

He said: "Old Bi, now the situation is urgent, the Tartars in the north are eyeing the tiger, and there are thieves in the west, since they are all my protégés, if they don't know about military affairs, farming, and government affairs, how can I resist a strong enemy?" Also, I am not against Confucianism, nor do I disrespect the saints, but the current situation is urgent, and if I don't do it well, I will destroy the country and extinct the species. ”

Since the emperor still respects Confucius, Bi Maokang is also completely relieved. He was not as conservative and stubborn as the professors of other colleges, and he said: "In that case, then the emperor, see if you can set up scriptures and classics and history in your university again, so that scholars can continue to study classic history books, and second, the emperor can continue to run the university you want." ”

Wang Jian thought about it, this is also the best of both worlds, so he agreed.

As a result, Jike University was divided into two academies, one was still a study of Confucian classics and was called the Academy of Literature, and the other was a comprehensive academy called the Academy of Science according to Wang Jian's requirements.

In the evening, just as the preparatory work for the construction of Jike University was progressing smoothly and the prototype was initially decided, the old professor who had been vomited blood by Wang Jian was also completely burped.

In Wang Jian's view, this old professor is an old stubborn, thinking that he is standing in the supreme holy place of morality, and everything is based on morality, and even in order to defend what he thinks is a noble value, he does not hesitate to sacrifice his own life to prevent social progress.

Such people can be both honorable and evil.

However, people with ulterior motives do not see it that way. The rumor that Wang Jian "forced to die" the old professor in the academy spread, and the first thing the Confucian scholars in Jinan City said when they met was: "Have you heard?" The emperor built a university in Jinan, and no longer admired the classics of Confucianism, forcing the scholars to go to the back mountains to mine iron. ”

"Yes, I heard that the respected Yu Gong was forced to death on the spot, and his old man is a Confucian master in Jinan City."

"Faint Monarch, Faint Monarch is to imitate the brutal Qin Shi Huangdi, to burn books and pit Confucianism, is it really heaven that wants to destroy my Ming Dynasty?"

So, the news spread quickly: "Killed, killed... Confucianism Taidou Yu Gong was killed by the emperor! ”

Jinan Mansion has also become a place of extermination of Confucianism in the eyes of Confucianism, and all Confucian scholars are afraid of it, even the Confucian scholars who escaped from the south of the imperial capital have also taken a detour, even if the Son of Heaven is in Jinan Mansion, they dare not come.

The Confucian scholars in Jiangbei also got the news and fled to Jiangnan as if they were fleeing.

The impact of this incident did not stop there, and later brought great trouble to Wang Jian, and Wang Jian once again took the blame.
