Liu Minyou looked at the few people in front of him with a dissatisfied face, the president of Wendeng University Hall stood in the hall with his head bowed, Chen Tingdong was sitting on a chair with a bleeding mouth and nose, his belt was torn off, and there were a few holes on his body, and a shoe was missing on his foot, and he was glaring angrily at a person on the ground. Sitting on the ground was Ji Ziyue, who was also in tatters, with a blue nose and swollen face, and a shoe in his hand.

Liu Minyou asked coldly: "Let's talk about it, what is the deep hatred?" ”……

Chen Tingdong stood up with a sigh and said angrily to Ji Ziyue on the ground: "Return the shoes to me!" ”

Ji Ziyue hugged the shoes, shook her head and said proudly: "Someone compares himself to Xie An, if you don't take off one of your shoes, I'm afraid someone will have to continue to be self-righteous, and this shoe won't be returned." ”

Chen Tingdong took a few rough breaths, grabbed Ji Ziyue's collar, "Give me back!" ”

The two of them talked to themselves, and they didn't pay attention to Liu Minyou at all, the principal couldn't hold his breath, and hurriedly came up to pull Chen Tingdong away, while saying to Chen Tingdong: "Lord Liu is here, what are you doing." ”

"What Lord Liu, Lord Chen personally said that there are no adults in the school."

Liu Min nodded a little, "That's right, there is no Master Liu here, but the 'independent personality, free thinking' of the school gate is also a handwritten letter by Master Chen, what does free thinking mean, why didn't you read it." ”

Chen Tingdong glared at Liu Minyou angrily, "What does Mr. Liu mean, the White Lotus Sect and the Wenxiang Sect can also preach in the school, and then let the students think freely?" ”

Liu Minyou pointed to Ji Ziyue on the ground, "You compare Ji Jiao to the White Lotus Sect, only science is the most reasonable." Your free thinking is to be full of old fists for colleagues with different opinions, so where is the freedom of this Ji Jiao on the ground. ”

Chen Tingdong rushed to the table, "Liu Minyou, you introduced these Taizhou schools and opened elective courses for Legalists in the school, have you ever thought about the future of these students?" The students of Denglai do not learn the lessons of the saints. If you don't respect the way of Confucius and Mencius, how different is it from the generation of slaves, or even you even publish your own article, advocating the theory of the law of the jungle and the way of the beast with people, which is tolerable or unbearable. ”

Liu Minyou slapped the table and stood up, "Then you still have to beat me, this university hall is not a place for you to bully, there is no Lord Liu here, only Liu Minyou." If you want to fight, let's fight in this house, and Lao Tzu will kill two people. I'm not afraid of you today, but I want to see how good you are. ”

Several other people in the room turned their heads at the same time, and their mouths were wide open, they had all seen Liu Minyou many times, and they spoke very kindly on weekdays. There has never been a time like this.

Chen Tingdong was angry, rolled up his sleeves and rushed over, Liu Minyou lifted the chair and was about to fight, the principal greeted him, and the professors rushed up and hugged Chen Tingdong.

Chen Tingdong shouted and scolded. Those teachers helped together and dragged him out, and Liu Minyou was so angry that he was panting.

Ji Ziyue on the ground shook her head and stood up and walked out the door. As he walked, he said: "As soon as He Zhuqian saw Zhang Jiangling, he said that this person would exercise the authority of the world, but he was not seen, and then he was arrested and killed by Zhang Jiangling in Huguang, which is terrible for Chen Tingdong." ”

After the door is closed. Liu Minyou pointed to the door and asked, "What does this Ji Ziyue mean?" ”

The principal said with some embarrassment: "He Zhuqian he said is He Xinyin of the Taizhou School, and Zhang Jiangling is Zhang Juzheng." It is reported that when Zhang Juzheng was a Hanlin, he once visited He Xinyin in Beijing, He Xinyin avoided it, and when a friend asked, He Xinyin said that he saw Zhang Juzheng from a distance, and he believed that this person could manipulate the authority of the world, so he was a little afraid of this person, so he didn't see it. may have offended Zhang Jiangling because of this, but it turned out that it was Zhang Juzheng who ordered him to be arrested and beheaded in Wuchang, but this is also a legend in the world, and it cannot be true. Ji Ziyue means ...... In fact, he was just crazy and had no malice. ”

Liu Min sat back in the chair, muffled for a while, and the principal stood in front of Liu Minyou in a snort, "Lord Liu, my subordinates didn't expect that this Chen Tingdong would be so arrogant that even Lord Liu would dare to beat him." The teachers and students in the school complained about him and wanted to expel him from the university hall. ”

Liu Minyou closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm also excited just now, don't drive him away, this is not the Civil Department, the university is a place for people to speak, I have different opinions from him, it is a personal dispute, it has nothing to do with his teaching qualifications, but this beating is not appropriate, and then it is the spirit of freedom, and it is not an indiscriminate beating, there is still some punishment in this school rule, and the past will not be investigated, but if you commit it again, you will be severely punished according to the school rules...... It is not a strict punishment, but it is implemented according to the school rules. ”

Principal Nuo Nuo agreed, and after a while, he said: "In fact, there are many fewer students in the school who believe in Confucianism. ”

"What other doctrines are there in that school today?"

"There are people in all schools of thought who are studying, and there are also people who believe in the Society of Jesus. Some of the other teachings, well, are mainly hired by Lord Chen, and some of them used to be from the Department of Discipline and Guidance, and they were spread in the school, and they were loyal to Lord Chen and the like, or they all put the army first, and Wang Tingxiang's way of eating the weak and the strong was also his envelope. I just heard that they had gathered a group of students to find out the bad luck of Confucian students. ”

Liu Minyou thought for a moment with his hand, "Let them go, Wuxue fights every day, but people don't fight like this." We should also teach these Confucian students some lessons, don't bring the bad habits of Jiangnan scholars here, the exclusivity of Confucianism is incompatible with free thinking, but we pursue a hundred flowers to bloom, and I don't want to exclude Confucianism, just let them solve it internally. However, you have to bring some intermediate teaching to keep an eye on, don't make any trouble, the muskets of the school's military training must be guarded, and if you really can't do it, you will first send them to the arsenal of the outer fort. ”

The principal peeked at Liu Minyou's expression, and couldn't help but persuade: "My lord, my subordinates still think that persuasion should be the main thing, and it is not appropriate to call back and forth." ”

Liu Minyou calmed down for a while before saying, "Then you can stop them, after all, this is a university hall, not a martial arts." ”

"My subordinates understand, in terms of doctrine in this school, what do you think your subordinates should do?"

Liu Min glanced at him, the principal was also sweaty, and his clothes were still torn and hung by someone. Liu Minyou didn't want to say what he thought, lest the principal draw a big circle, but as soon as this incident came out today, he still felt that he should do some guidance, and let the principal have a bottom in his heart.

Liu Minyou thought about it and said: "Actually, I don't want to target Confucianism itself, its theory of rationality is self-contained and has its merits. The study of mind has the essence of free thinking, but there is no scientific method, and it also needs to be continuously improved, but its ideas of 'the people's daily use is the way' and 'the saint and the passerby are one' are also very desirable, which is the basis of the idea of equality. For example, Confucianism has a saying that there are thousands of interpretations, but I think Confucianism, Xinxue, and Instrument can all be extended from this sentence to derive a widely accepted doctrine. ”

The headmaster nodded, "The subordinates understand a little. ”

Liu Minyou sighed and said: "In fact, the key today is not the content of a certain doctrine, but the idea of inclusiveness. As you just mentioned, the Church of Jesus was secretly circulated among the people in Europa at the beginning, with a progressive attitude, and then it became entangled with European feudalism and became the lord of Europa in the form of a church. The person I am angry with is not against Chen Tingdong and others, but Confucianism flaunts itself, sets its own threshold, and then uses it for the emperor's art, which reflects a kind of exclusivity. Now that the Red Yi has drawn nourishment from the ancient books of ancient Greece and Rome, the Renaissance has been completed, and then the religious revolution has followed, the decline of the clergy is imminent, and the prison of ideas is being opened. You should remember one thing, although Wendeng University Hall has navigation, machinery, wine making and other utensils departments, its studyers, the instrument is only the standard, the scientific method is the foundation, but the scientific method is not the spirit of Wendeng University, the spirit is higher than the method, and free thinking at any time is the spiritual root of Wendeng University. Chen Tingdong's method is really, really too much. But I'm not going to ask you to fire him and let them speak, but their freedom must not interfere with the free thinking of others, and if you want to debate, you have to have a debate. ”

The principal said with some admiration: "Lord Liu's belly is very comparable." The subordinates also understood what the adults said, and there will be some rules in the school rules in the future. ”

Liu Minyou let out a long breath and said: "You can start a newspaper in the future, if you want to quarrel, you will quarrel in the newspaper, and send it out like a military newspaper." ”

The headmaster hesitated, "What about those who have some radical arguments, or insults to important ministers?" ”

"That can't be sent, it can only be academic. Let the people outside see that the people are not stupid, so they should inspire the people and let them think about it. ”

"When is this newspaper going to be handled?"

"Now wait a minute, recently someone from Dongchang and Jinyiwei came to Wendeng to listen to it, you just know it, let the students and teachers go out less, and those who don't have waist cards don't let them in, so as not to cause more trouble." If the newspaper has a small number of contributions, it can be published once a month, and more articles can be added in the future, and the content in it can be varied, not limited to the controversy of doctrine, but also can be solicited from the outside world, and some of the tools can be recruited from the private sector. ”

"Understood."

"This doctrinal dispute is not a matter that can be achieved overnight, you, the principal, have limited power, and the first thing is to do a good job of service and give good conditions to teachers and students. If there are Confucian teachers and students who want to leave school this time...... You try to keep it as much as possible, if you really want to leave, wait for the people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei to leave. ”

The two talked for half an hour, Liu Minyou went out, the two were ready to go to the canteen to eat together, to the main entrance of the canteen, there were many students in and out, a few sweeping workers saw the principal coming, they all bowed and saluted, the principal took care of Liu Minyou to speak, but Liu Minyou stopped and bowed to the servants in return.

The principal was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the idea of equality in Liu Minyou's psychology, and hurriedly returned a salute to the servants.

Liu Minyou whispered to himself: "There is a long way to go, take your time." ”
