Zhu Cijiong sent a holy decree, and the Ministry of Rites immediately began to prepare for the school. Xu Guangqi, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, naturally does not have to do everything himself, he just needs to assign the task, and his subordinates will naturally do it for him.

Qian Qianyi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, was outstanding in literature, and Xu Guangqi ordered him to be responsible for writing and posting enrollment notices;

Wen Tiren, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, is careful and responsible for the location and interior layout of the school.

As for himself, he is responsible for writing the tutorial, he once translated the Greek mathematician Euclid's "Geometry Originals", which just covers the physics and mathematics knowledge to be used to identify parts drawings, based on the "Geometric Originals", this tutorial is not difficult to write, as long as the basic graphics about points, lines, surfaces, quadrilaterals, circles, angles, radians and other basic graphics are extracted, and then the simple measurement and calculation methods are described.

As for teaching, it is not necessary for him and Bi Maokang and others to go out in person, he once opened a school in Shanghai, teaching Western mathematics and physics, as long as he finds a few students with excellent grades to come and teach these basic knowledge.

Everything is in full swing of preparations, isn't it difficult to promote Western studies in this situation, how can I say that Zhu Cijiong is wrong again?

It stands to reason that as long as the things the emperor wants to do are not too outrageous, no one should dare to object, but in the Ming Dynasty, it was so strange at that time, some people loved to pull the emperor's pigtails, and as long as the emperor did something a little unreasonable, some people jumped out to oppose it.

There are all the people who jump out and sing the opposite tune, some are for personal interests, some are for the interests of the political group behind them, and some are purely for the sake of opposition, to put it bluntly, it is to become famous, proving that he has the arrogance of a scholar!

This time to promote Western learning is such a new thing, naturally some people will use it to make some articles, and others will not talk about it for the time being, just say that Qian Qianyi, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

In order to enter the cabinet to pay respects to the prime minister, he had already passed Xu Guangqi once when he built a military factory, but he was aborted by Sun Chengzong's several angry roars, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to make any moths for several months. This time Sun Chengzong is not here, he is bold and fat again, of course, he will not be stupid to jump out and sing a big drama by himself, the yin behind him is his strength.

No, as soon as he received Xu Guangqi's order, he pondered in his heart, and after pondering for a while, he had an idea.

He first racked his brains to write an enrollment notice, and after Xu Guangqi saw it, he ordered the people below to copy it and post it hard, preferably all over the streets of the capital within a day.

Is he having a positive attitude towards work? Of course not, he just wants everyone to know that the Ministry of Rites is going to promote Western learning, and the more people who know, the more beneficial it will be to his plan.

After work, he went home and rewrote another one, and then went out with a smile on the notice.

What is he doing here? Naturally, he went to find the gunman and learned the lesson of the last failure, this time he was not looking for a small minion, but the boss of the Donglin Party.

Find some little minions again, and they were slapped back by Sun Chengzong and them, isn't that boring! He knew that if he wanted to find a big man with a similar weight to Sun Chengzong in the Donglin Party, he would slap him over there, and he would dare to slap him back, so that his plan could have any hope of success.

The Donglin Party can't be all good people, nor can it be said that all bad people, as a bureaucratic political group, there are all kinds of officials in it:

There are good officials who are honest and dedicated to serving the people, such as Sun Chengzong and Han Kuang;

There are false benevolence and false righteousness, selfish traitors, such as Qian Qianyi;

There are capable ministers who are realistic and pragmatic, practical and practical, such as Bi Maokang;

There are also great Confucians who are dedicated to only being sages and scholars, such as Huang Daozhou and Liu Zongzhou;

What Qian Qianyi is looking for this time is the Zodiac Zhou, who was the bachelor of the Hanlin Chamberlain and the scribe of the Sutra Banquet, that is, the imperial chair for the emperor to lecture on the history of the scriptures. Don't look at him when he usually has nothing to do, he studies and researches, writes some poems and songs or something, he looks like a harmless good gentleman, but once he is stubborn, he is really the master that the emperor dares to scold.

When Chongzhen was the emperor, because he couldn't get used to Yang Sichang, the first assistant at that time, he "argued with Sichang and stepped forward, made a face-to-face dispute, and many retreated, and the audience trembled."

Chongzhen reprimanded him: "A lifetime of learning can only be done with one mouth!" ”

The goods argued: "The word loyalty, the minister does not dare not argue." If a minister dares to speak out before his father, how can he be loyal to those who slander before his father? ”

Chongzhen, who was choked with these words, was very speechless, and then he became stubborn, and even directly forced Chongzhen to ask: "If there is no distinction between loyalty and loyalty, then evil and good are confused, how can it be cured?" ”

was so angry that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen almost spurted blood, and directly demoted him by six levels, this thing is still "cold and strong, not vulgar", still the same as me, and I will not repent of death.

Of course, it is now the reign of Emperor Chongzheng Zhu Cijiong, and this product has not yet won the reputation of "those who are called direct admonitions in the world must be called Huangshi Zhai". But as a friend and friend, Qian Qianyi knows the stubborn temperament of this goods, as long as he makes a mistake, it will definitely be earth-shattering, so he is the gunman this time.

When Qian Qianyi came to the Zodiac Zhou Mansion, this product was as usual, leisurely holding a book and tasting the wine, Qian Qianyi didn't say much to him, and directly took out the notice from his arms and handed it over.

Huang Daozhou thought that he had written some poems for him to taste, so he hurriedly put down the book, took the notice, and asked eagerly: "Is there any good work that has come out?" ”

Qian Qianyi didn't answer, just looked at him with a sad face, Huang Daozhou, the second monk who was made by him, was puzzled, and hurriedly opened the notice to take a closer look.

Looking at it, his face slowly became cold, and when he saw that in the end, he was so angry that he slapped the notice on the table, and said angrily: "Ridiculous, promote the study of barbarians, what does Xu Guangqi want to do?" As a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, he did not spread the articles of the sages well, but instead admired these barbarian strange and obscene skills, did he read the books of the sages in vain? ”

Qian Qianyi knew that this thing would get angry, and when he wrote the notice, he faintly belittled the role of Confucianism, a bit of a taste that only Western learning can save the Ming Dynasty, Xu Guangqi's thinking was originally biased towards Western learning, so he didn't see anything wrong.

It's different here in Huang Daozhou, he is a great Confucian in the world, who dares to belittle the sages in front of him, then don't you look for death!

Qian Qianyi saw that Huang Daozhou was really angry, and hurriedly added fuel to the fire and said: "Alas, where is there the book of sages in the eyes of Lord Xu, he is the Taishan Beidou of barbarian learning, naturally he wants to respect the learning of barbarians, otherwise how can he show his 'profound knowledge'." ”

This means that Huang Daozhou is implying that Xu Guangqi is not good at learning the book of sages, so he is good at barbarian learning, so he must do everything possible to promote the study of barbarians to highlight his learning.

Huang Daozhou really fell for it, this is worth it, let Xu Guangqi promote the study of barbarians like this, where will the study of sages be placed?

He was so angry that he slapped the table and said: "Shameless, shameless, humiliating the saint for his own selfishness, such a person occupies a high position in the Ministry of Rites, and the Ming Dynasty is in danger." After receiving it, we immediately signed a joint book and participated in one of his copies, and we couldn't let him continue to mess around like this. ”

Qian Qianyi naturally refused to rush to the front to be a fool, he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "This slander of Shangguan is unjust, I have also skimmed some sage articles, how can I do such an unkind and unrighteous act, and ask Mr. Shi Zhai to speak up for me and other scholars, and I will wave the flag and shout for you in the back." ”

Huang Daozhou knew his careful thinking, and he really thought he was a moral model, and he couldn't help but praise when he heard the words: "What he said is right, he Xu Guangqi does not respect the learning of sages, we can't and disrespect, slandering Shangguan is indeed an unrighteous act, it is inconvenient for you to come forward, leave this matter to me." ”

Qian Qianyi knew that these two goods were tendons, and when he heard this, he immediately saluted solemnly: "Then there is Mr. Lao Shizhai." ”

Huang Daozhou accepted his salute calmly, and said righteously: "How can my generation of scholars let this kind of traitorous villain insult the learning of the sages, rest assured, I will make him Xu Guangqi ruined." ”
