Chapter 256: The Discussion of Mind

Yasukai Shokai, a Cabinet Scholar and Faculty of Education, has confirmed the final list of recipients of the Royal Prize for Science and Technology.

Thereinto.

The Chinese culture was obtained by Wang Shouren, the reason is that Wang Shouren opened the study of the heart, and there are countless disciples, which has a great innovative effect on Confucianism.

After all, since the Confucian disciple Cheng Zhu and others founded the science of science, no new Confucian knowledge has been born.

Obviously, what Zhu Houzhao is talking about is Chinese studies, which refers to all the ideological and cultural studies in China, and the purpose of setting up this category in the highest science and technology award is to let the social sciences also be developed, so that the Chinese culture will not be abandoned due to the rise of natural science.

Moreover, the Chinese culture here does not only refer to Confucianism, so Zhu Hou set up the Chinese Studies Award instead of the Confucianism Award.

However, Kang Hai still chose Wang Shouren, the pioneer of Confucianism, to win this award, and did not choose poets Tang Bohu, Yang Shen and others, which obviously shows that today's Ming scholars still focus on Confucianism.

But Zhu Houzhao did not refuse, after all, Wang Shouren inspired himself to create the study of mind, which is indeed a great progress in Confucianism in his own field, after all, science stipulates that people should have heavenly principles and destroy human desires, while the study of mind is to let people have their own thinking and judgment standards.

"Exactly! Let Wang Shouren win this award, can make the world's Confucian scholars understand that learning should be determined to seek innovation, rather than blindly following the ancient saints, all learning should be combined with the current situation, and then with their own thinking to get the way of governance, people's hearts are changing, morality is also changing, since there are words in China, there are countless saints, and I can not be without saints! ”

Zhu Houzhao naturally supports the spread of Xinxue, after all, he also hopes that the readers of the Ming Dynasty can take the initiative to think, have their own ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and do not really want to suppress their own thoughts, but obey the guidelines stipulated in the science.

"Yes!"

Liu Jin heard Zhu Houzhao say this, so he approved the word "quasi".

Kang Hai, who was in front of the emperor, also hurriedly proclaimed.

But when the award-winning Zhu was approved and sent to the school, the disciplines were all given to Guo Nan in the matter, but Guo Nan rejected the imperial court's decision to award the first royal highest science and technology award to Wang Shouren!

"Science is orthodox, the principle of heaven is preserved, and the destruction of human desire is the foundation of the great rule of the world! The study of the mind emphasizes relying on one's conscience to perceive likes and dislikes, how can it be used as the orthodox study of the imperial court! Won't it lead to chaos in the world!

His Majesty set up the award of national studies, aiming to promote orthodox learning, why did the elder deceive His Majesty into being busy with all opportunities and did not know the great fallacies of mental learning, but pushed the king of mental learning Shouren to win this award, so that the people of the world do not think that the imperial court is orthodox with mental learning? ”

When Kang Hai saw the reason for this refutation, he couldn't help but sigh, but the Sixth Branch Speaker has the right to refute, even if he is a scholar of the department and a scholar of the cabinet, he has no way to accuse others, so he has to summon Guo Nan:

"Your Majesty is not against the study of the mind, nor is it ignorant of the fallacy of the study of the mind, Your Majesty agreed to award this award to Wang Shouren, is for Confucianism to seek innovation, people's hearts are changing, morality is also changing, since there are words in China, there are countless saints, I can not be without saints, this is Your Majesty's original words, do you really want to refute it? Shizhong, this official knows that you are a descendant of science, and you are determined to be retro, but you must know that once this right of refutation is used, it will be dangerous and unpredictable! ”

Guo Nan saluted Kang Hai: "The elder of the cabinet does not blame the lower officials for refuting the old cabinet for their proposals, but advises them with good words, and the lower officials are grateful, but as the saying goes, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, since His Majesty is not a dumb king, even if it is a capital crime for this matter, the lower official believes that His Majesty will understand that the minister of governance should be more conducive to the society!" ”

The meaning of what Guo Nan said is very clear, that is, if he is really punished by Emperor Zhu Houzhao for the crime of death because of the use of the right of refutation, but he does not resist and dies in righteousness, it will make Emperor Zhu Hou illuminate, and the minister cultivated by science is really suitable for the emperor! After all, this kind of minister is easy to control without his own thoughts, and he can be obedient, even if he is executed by the emperor, there will be no complaints.

Kang Hai couldn't even refute it, and only continued to persuade: "I don't know if you are a real loyal minister, or a name for death, I hope Your Majesty understands your hard work, but you have to think clearly, Your Majesty said that raising a scholar for the Ming Dynasty is not a slave, but a scholar of the country, you take science as orthodoxy, naturally you deliberately hope that the courtiers will obey the king's orders, follow the principles of heaven and abandon human desires, this kind of thinking is only afraid of being far from what Your Majesty thinks!" ”

"Preserve the principles of heaven and destroy people's desires, not to be a house slave, but only to be the pillar of the country, no matter the wind or shine, all for the world to support peace!"

Guo Nan said.

Seeing him say this, Kang Hai also knew that Guo Nan thought that a person who was educated by science and became an old-fashioned person would not really become a domestic slave but a selfless person, so he didn't persuade him again, only sighed, and ordered: "Transfer to the political secretary, and the disciplines will be given to Guo Nan to refute Zhu Pi's Wang Shouren as the winner of the National Studies Award!" Your Majesty is to be judged again! ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that his approval to award Wang Shouren as the winner of the Chinese studies category was actually rejected by the discipline capital, and he couldn't help laughing for a while:

"It's been so many years, and there is actually another six-section official who refutes the decision of the cabinet!"

"I'm really not afraid of death, Your Majesty, look at it, whether to directly let Dongchang arrest him!" Ma Yongcheng asked.

"Don't be in a hurry, people dare to refute it, naturally they are ready to die, this kind of person who admits death, even if you cut him off, he will not be soft, in the end he is also the backbone of my Daming!"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said:

"It's just that what I didn't expect was that I just let Wang Shouren get an award, which is equivalent to me rewarding him with 10,000 taels of silver, what is so strange about the king rewarding his subordinates, he Guo Nan has such a big reaction, and he does not hesitate to risk his death to refute the court resolution that has been approved by Zhu! It can be seen that this science is still not allowed to be learned by the mind! ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true, everyone in the world knows that Wang Shouren is the founder of the study of mind, and the ministers of science in the court are not allowed to learn from the heart, and now His Majesty will set up a national study award, and the first person to reward is him Wang Shouren, naturally I will be worried that this will intentionally tell the world that the court wants to recognize the study of the mind, and the minister of science will not be able to agree, this Guo Nan is only afraid that he is also the successor of science!"

The literary attendant on duty, Han Lin reviewed, Wen Zhengming said from the side.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh: "These civil officials, it's really uncomfortable, it's just that the concept is different, why bother, I admit that science can cultivate loyal and upright ministers, but it is easy to make them stupid, and the mind is just to make up for it, I am not a person who studies it, I don't ask whether it is right or wrong, I only hope that the knowledge of China can bring forth the new, as for right and wrong, I have time to prove it." ”

Saying that, Zhu Houzhao said: "Send the decree to Zhang Xuan, the secretary of the ministry, and transfer Guo Nan to the outside, this discipline is given a position in the matter, and he should not stay anymore. ”
