After Zhu Houzhao yawned and sent a "retreat from the court", the ministers withdrew from the Qianqing Palace one after another, except for the cabinet ministers and the eunuchs of the celebrant eunuch, only Wang Yangming remained in the main hall, and was ordered to listen to Zhu Houzhao's arrangements for the preparation of the establishment of Beijing Normal University.

Zhu Hou looked at Wang Yangming, who was thirty years old.

This is the first time Zhu Houzhao has looked at Wang Yangming, although he has asked Wang Yangming to do a few things for himself, but it is still at this moment that he really boils water and looks at himself.

Zhu Houzhao saw Wang Yangming's rectangular face and goat's beard, and his eyes were indeed bright, but he did not have the image of a saint who had a great understanding, and it seemed that there was still a bit of ignorance between his eyebrows.

Wang Yangming was also looking at Zhu Houzhao, on the surface, the Zhu Houzhao he saw was just a young man with a white face and a clear eye, but why did he seem to have a trace of old age in his eyes, and even looked at himself with a hint of scrutiny and solemnity.

Zhu Houzhao knew that Wang Yangming at this time had not experienced Liu Jin's ordeal, nor had he gone through the dragon field to enlightenment, and he could also understand that he had not yet become sophisticated and cunning.

However, Wang Yangming was even more suspicious after seeing Zhu Houzhao, thinking that this young emperor who grew up in the deep palace had experienced what kind of hardships in the world had to analyze the people of this society so thoroughly, to be full of a sense of struggle in a governing program, to be so unkind and ruthless to his political enemies, to have such a heavy desire for self-protection, and even to punish the ten clans!

"Could it be that the death of my father can really make a person grow up quickly, I, Wang Yangming, have not realized for a long time, is it because no close relatives have passed away in the family, and I don't know how many years my father can live, and I have to be chaotic and ignorant for a few years."

Wang Yangming couldn't help but think about it for a while.

"You are Wang Shouren?"

Zhu Houzhao asked.

"Your Majesty!"

And Wang Yangming also shouted at the same time.

"Let's talk about it first", Zhu Houzhao gave Wang Yangming a lot of face, stretched out his hand and said.

"Please tell Your Majesty first, Your Majesty asked your ministers to stay," Wang Yangming replied.

Zhu Houzhao nodded when he heard this: "Do you know what kind of university I want to build?" Or you can tell me why you suddenly recommended yourself just now and were willing to make this Kyoto University's sacrificial wine? ”

"The minister first replied to His Majesty's second question, the minister did not dare to deceive His Majesty, the minister just saw that no one dared to recommend himself, it was the late minister who recommended himself, the minister was courteously honored by His Majesty's Longen, and Jane was promoted as the Hanlin servant, but the minister was not born in Shujishi, and it was really unbearable to be a Hanlin minister, and now I see that His Majesty wants to change the leopard room to a university, and the minister has to be ordered by His Majesty to study in the leopard room, and now he will go back to continue studying."

Wang Yangming replied truthfully.

Zhu Houzhao thought that Wang Yangming was really different from other people in this era, and as soon as he proposed to build a university, a person like him who had great achievements should immediately understand his purpose.

Now, Zhu Houzhao knows that even if he is a genius of this era, it needs time to guide.

"In that case, tell me your understanding," Zhu Houzhao said.

"Yes! As far as the minister understands, the university is the learning of adults, that is, it is not a place for children to be enlightened, but a place for those who seek knowledge to learn," Wang Yangming replied.

Zhu Houzhao walked up to Wang Yangming and gave Wang Yangming a booklet about the "Sacred Oracle of the Proposed Beijing Normal University": "While reading, I listened to what I said, what you said is almost what I mean, but it is not all, although the university I want to build is not a place for Mengtong to read and break words, but it is also a place of enlightenment, a place for enlightening new ideas!"

The so-called greatness of Beijing Normal University is not only a place for the elderly to learn, but a place for all the knowledge in the world to gather and study, not only to study, but also to apply what has been learned, and to develop new knowledge, I decided to temporarily divide Beijing Normal University into four departments: arts, science, engineering, and medicine, and expand it in the future.

Now that you want to build this Jingshi University for me and Daming, how to rebuild the leopard house is not very important, but more importantly, you immediately find these four departments that are enough to be called the masters of the collection, and you will declare them to me as professors of Jingshi University, whether they were peddlers and pawns or high-ranking nobles, as long as they are talented and virtuous in a certain aspect, they can be recruited. ”

The professor already has such an official position in the Ming Dynasty, but the meaning is not the same as that of later generations, and the professors of later generations are more equivalent to ancient doctors, however, Zhu Houzhao also in order to avoid confusion with Guozijian, and the original professor has the meaning of a teacher, so he simply let the official position of the university teacher be called a professor, and the specific future of the university teacher's grade can only be said later.

Wang Yangming understood a lot after reading Zhu Houzhao's booklet and listening to Zhu Houzhao, but before he could speak, the first assistant Ma Wensheng said: "Your Majesty, you want to carry forward the meaning of miscellaneous learning to benefit the hundred schools, but since the Han Dynasty, since Emperor Wu pushed the Ming Kong family, suppressed the hundred schools of thought to reach the extreme, and Emperor Wu became the emperor of the ages. ”

"After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought by respecting Confucianism, did the Han Dynasty decline because of this?" Zhu Houzhao asked, and Ma Wensheng replied: "The minister's historiography is limited, I don't know what this has to do with Confucianism?" ”

"Let's put it this way, I don't turn my back on the Confucian learning, in fact, the Confucian learning has already changed by now, but I can't just raise a Confucianism, and suppress a hundred schools, just like people can't only be sensible and reasonable, but also have to be able to dress and eat, and even drive a horse, there are hundreds of jobs in society, and there are naturally a hundred learnings. Those who can benefit the empire are good learners! ”

As soon as Zhu Houzhao said this, Ma Wensheng had no choice but to reply: "Remember the holy oracle!" ”

In fact, Confucianism alone is also the will of the emperor ruler in order to maintain his own rule, in the Ming Dynasty, which is not ruled by a foreign race, whether it is the officials in the court or the people in the rivers and lakes, they have not imprisoned their own thoughts, and they can accept different voices, as long as Zhu Houzhao does not move their most fundamental interests, it doesn't matter what the emperor believes in and plays.

Wang Yangming also replied at this time: "Your Majesty's meaning, the minister has already understood, I don't know if Your Majesty still has a holy oracle?" ”

"I have only one request, the purpose of Beijing Normal University is to be inclusive! Different voices are allowed in the university, as long as they do not violate the law and do not intend to overthrow the dynasty. ”

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Jiao Fang, who was present, couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty's mind is beyond the reach of the ministers!" ”

Wang Yangming also nodded at this time and said: "Please remember Your Majesty's holy message, please rest assured, Your Majesty will definitely build such a university!" ”

Wang Yangming is not a self-contained person, when he was newly married, he also talked with Taoist priests, what to discuss Zen with old monks, and asked geography with peddlers and pawns, all of which he often does, and now building such a university has become what he wants to do, so at this moment, after he understands Zhu Houzhao's purpose of building Beijing Normal University, he can't help but become more active.
