Chapter 258: The Controversy of Science and Mind

Zhang Cai has already sent a message, and Zhang Xuan, the new secretary of the ministry, didn't expect that the first edict he got was to release Guo Nan, and he had to sigh:

"This Guo Nan studied under the great Confucian Gu Ling, and the science is orthodox, and now the imperial court wants to reward Wang Shouren, the founder of the study of the heart, he will naturally regard it as a great defense and refute it."

"Then according to Otsuka Zai's meaning, is it to protect this Guo Nan, ask to see Your Majesty, and intercede for Guo Nan?"

Shao Rui asked.

"This official believes that governing the country should be based on science, and holy science is used, Wang Shouren's heart study will only confuse people's hearts and is not conducive to ruling the world, but His Majesty's reward Wang Shouren also has His Majesty's reason, His Majesty is not to promote learning and abandon science, but to reward and study diligently, the left and right are just 10,000 taels of silver, and we can't ask Your Majesty to lock up the ministers of Xinxue, Guo Nan wants to hinder the heart of learning, such as Saijianghe, which will only make the court in danger of party struggle, follow Your Majesty's will, and release Guo Nan!"

Zhang Xuan said and said: "Since he is a minister of science, don't go to the south, there are many scholars in the south, in order to avoid the more fierce dispute between science and mind, he will be transferred to the north." ”

"Then transfer him to Shandong to serve as a senator?" Shao Rui asked.

"It seems that you are quite sympathetic to him, and it is okay, the official of the seventh rank of Beijing is released as the official of the fourth grade, and it is not considered to bury him!"

Zhang Xuan nodded as he spoke: "Let Wang Shouren's disciple Yin Tianxu supplement the discipline to give him the job in the matter!" ”

After Zhu Houzhao got the reply from the ministry, he just smiled faintly, thinking that Zhang Xuan, the heavenly official of the ministry, was actually quite sympathetic to Guo Nan, and it seemed that this Zhang Xuan was also a supporter of science.

"Exactly! I don't have the heart to care about his science and mind", Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but breathe a long sigh as he spoke, he didn't expect that a good thing of setting up a prize and distributing silver would drag on for so long, and he had to dismiss one of them and reappoint one before he could pass it, at this rate, when would Daming be able to completely move towards industrial civilization.

After Yin Tianxu served as the subject capital, he soon passed a resolution to award Wang Shouren as the winner of the Chinese Studies Award.

However, Guo Nan did not leave the capital immediately after receiving the edict conveyed by the ministry about his release, and from the moment he knew that the new discipline was Yin Tianxu, he knew that Wang Shouren, the founder of Xinxue, had won the National Studies Award.

Therefore, Guo Nan came to Dengwengu.

Guo Nan beat the Dengwen drum, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Minister Guo Nan asks to meet Your Majesty!" Mind is not available, not available! ”

According to the system, Dengwen Drum has a special person to be responsible for the matter, and Chen Boliang, who is responsible for Dengwen Drum, is also a physicist, and has always had the reputation of "Ten Talents", when he saw that Guo Nan asked for a face because he was unwilling to support the imperial court's Xinxue, he did not stop it, and directly said to the Jinyi Wei who was in charge of Dengwen Drum: "Everyone, Lord Guo is a loyal and upright minister, and I hope to treat him well!" ”

Jin Yiwei naturally didn't ask so much, Guo Nan dared to beat the drum, so he naturally had to be escorted down first.

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect this Guo Nan to be so persistent, because he saw that it had begun to rain heavily outside, so he had to summon Guo Nan and asked: "What kind of enmity does Xinxue have with you, so that you want to resist it so at the cost of your life?" ”

"Your Majesty! The study of the mind is the study of selfish desires, which may lead to chaos in the world! As a minister, you should take the world as the public, and if you study with your heart, then the minister will not take the world as your own selfishness, and your majesty should not learn from your heart, otherwise it will make the world chaotic! Your Majesty should not only fail to reward Wang Shouren, but should remove him from office and make him completely ruined! ”

Guo Nan hurriedly shouted.

Zhu Houzhao admits that he is a science student who does not understand the philosophical idea of Xinxue, but he knows that the study of mind has been carried forward in the Jiajing Dynasty in history, and this has led to the emergence of the Longqing switch.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao would not believe that the study of mind would lead to chaos in the world, and he could guess that this Guo Nan was to maintain his status in science, so he regarded the study of mind as a great defense.

Zhu Houzhao felt that no matter whether it was mental study or physical science, a radical person like Guo Nan could not stand in the central court, otherwise it would only turn the school dispute into a party dispute, so he was not polite, and directly reprimanded: "You keep saying that the heart learns to mess with the world, and I ask you, what evidence do you have to prove that the heart learns to mess with the world?" Li Shishi is science, Liu Yang is science, they are not still traitors who try to cause trouble in the world! ”

Guo Nan couldn't refute it for a while, he couldn't argue that these two civil officials who rebelled with King Ning were not ministers of science.

"I don't have the heart to discuss the science of mind with you, if you are interested, go to the newspaper and argue with them, but now I ask you, do you obey the will to go to Shandong to serve as an official or do you not obey the will?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

"The minister doesn't dare to resist the decree, the minister just admonishes Your Majesty, don't learn orthodoxy with your heart!" Guo Nan cried.

"Come on, drag him down, and you don't have to let him go to Shandong, pass on the decree to the Ministry of Officials, demote him to Haicheng Teaching, and let him go to Nanyang to spread his science!"

Zhu Houzhao said to Guo Nan: "Since you want me to take science as orthodoxy, then you will go to Nanyang and let the Nanyang countries make science orthodox!" When let the people of Nanyang have heavenly principles and destroy human desires, I will let you return to your hometown! ”

Zhu Houzhao was also really annoyed, and directly asked people to drag Guo Nan out.

And Guo Nan had to accept the arrangement of going to Haicheng, that is, the colony where the Ming Dynasty was now teaching in Manchuria.

After receiving Zhu Houzhao's will, Zhang Xuan also shook his head helplessly: "This Guo Nan is really weird, he has to force His Majesty to give a promise, but everyone knows that His Majesty wants to resume the Spring and Autumn Period and wants to promote the learning of a hundred schools, but he prefers to be like this, and now it is good, he can only wander in a foreign land!" ”

Guo Nan himself was not so depressed, when his friend Shao Rui also said this about him as Zhang Xuan, he only said: "Thunder, rain and dew, all for the grace of the king, since Your Majesty wants me Guo to go to Nanyang to communicate science, then I, Guo Mou, have received this decree, so that the people of the world can understand that science should be the foundation of maintaining the stability of the world's society!" ”

Guo Nan was demoted to Haicheng, and Wang Shouren's resolution as the winner of the highest award in the first Chinese culture category was also officially issued.

The controversy between science and psychology is already fierce among the people, and now the imperial court wants to reward Wang Shouren, the founder of psychology, and the civil officials from science naturally can't bear it.

Ouyang Dan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Xia Yan, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, both believed that this move was tantamount to supporting the spread of Xinxue on behalf of the imperial court.

Therefore, the two hurriedly found the cabinet minister Kang Hai, and Ouyang Dan said first: "Pavilion Elder, why did you let Wang Shouren get this honor!" ”

Kang Hai didn't expect that his recommendation for Wang Shouren to win this award would cause such a big sensation, so he only asked: "Then according to what you say, who should be awarded?" ”

"The lower officials don't think it's wrong for the elder to grant Wang Shouren, it's just that the lower officials think that the governance of the Ming Dynasty should be based on science, holy learning, and mental learning!" Xia Yan took over at this time and said.
