Chapter 1293: Confucianism and a hundred schools of thought

Great expectations?

When everyone heard Zhu Jie's words, they were a little confused, and looked at Zhu Jie in a daze.

Zhu Jie said lightly: "Obviously, if there is one official with the most prestige among the sons of the world, now Xianzhi can be said to be second to none, right?" ”

Sun Chuanting nodded and replied: "I can't be sure that the first is second to none, but it is true that no one can cross the front of the constitution, in terms of character, qualifications, and knowledge, the constitution is the best choice!" ”

Zhu Jie continued: "Yes, but since I implemented Xinxue, the government and the opposition have been arguing endlessly, black and white, since Dong Zhongshu deposed the hundred schools, Confucianism has become big and occupies the righteousness, even Huang Lao and Buddhism are difficult to compete with alone, let alone Xinxue? Xianzhi, I know that you are the most fair, so this is why you are allowed to go to the West, you are right, appreciate the customs of the West, and see what the new learning of the West looks like? In Western countries, how did their kings and emperors respect their respective research scholars, and how the theories and techniques studied by these scholars were introduced to folk farming and production; It turns out that Chinese legislation has always been done by the Han people themselves, why is it that in recent years, it has been necessary to rely on Western talents to complete it? Why is the Western red-coat artillery far more powerful than the Chinese general's artillery? Why could the Chinese fleet only go as far as Black Africa, but not enter the Western Ocean like the Dutch penetrated into the Eastern Ocean? Not to mention the fact that there is now a vast America, which is under the encroachment of Westerners? Why do Westerners say that our world is a round ball? Straight west or all the way east, to be able to return to where we started? ”

Shi Kefa's heart was shocked, and he found out that the emperor agreed to resign from his official position, which was really not angry with him, but had a deep meaning behind it......

"Your Majesty, do you really want to overthrow Confucianism's position in China? Restore the scene of a hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin period? ”

Shi Kefa said in a deep voice.

"That's right, Kenyuki, you're on the point!"

Zhu Jie stood up and said loudly: "There is a poem that says well, there are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years, how many talented people are there in China?" They were all suppressed by Confucianism, unable to show themselves on a larger stage, and were denounced as heretical doctrines by Confucianism one by one, this is not good, absolutely not! By chanting poetry alone, can you make farmers use better farming tools? Relying on poetry alone? Can merchants increase silk production? Relying on Haoshou alone, can you build a flowering cannon? Or will you be able to divert the flood and rain from the sky? However, Xinxue can, painstaking efforts can develop better agricultural tools, can build water-powered textile wheels, can build giant ship artillery, can dredge rivers, why should Xinxue be suppressed? Secondly, this time on this trip, bring more goods, money and food, don't bring me those useless back, you know what I like, yes, it is those who specialize in learning, how much can be dug back for me, and when you come back from this mission, you will not have this thought! ”

Sun Chuanting and others smiled bitterly, it seems that the emperor is determined to step on Confucianism, and thousands of troops can't pull it back, why? Why did he hate Confucianism so much? There's no need......

"Your Majesty, don't you really leave a place for Confucianism? Is it really to exterminate Confucianism? ”

Huang Daozhou, who was on the side, wept bitterly, and suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "China has been able to prosper for 2,000 years, thanks to the merits of Confucianism, without Confucianism, without Confucianism, without the edification of Confucianism......"

"Youxuan!"

Zhu Jie almost died of anger, he was talking hard, this old guy came here to cry and mourn!

"Who said I was going to exterminate Confucianism? It's just that you want Confucianism to break its roots, but I don't want to! ! ”

Zodiac Zhou blinked his eyes, which one is the emperor singing!

Zhu Jie sighed and replied: "I don't want to exterminate Confucianism, but the hundred schools of thought that Shi Kefa said just now!" Don't depose a hundred schools of thought anymore and respect Confucianism alone! A dominant family, whether it is in the court or in academia, this is the most important! In the future, even with the imperial examination, we must carry out innovation, and completely abandon the old way of Bagu! Confucianism implements benevolent government and advocates loyalty, which is naturally not wrong, but it is self-contained, without such an enterprising heart, a country, a nation, without an enterprising heart, is bound to decline, you think, in the Han and Tang dynasties, how could we have been persecuted by foreign races to the point of broken mountains and rivers? ”

Li Yan on the side nodded and said: "In the pre-Qin period, there were four masters of Confucianism, Momo and Taoism, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, when the mountains and rivers were initially determined, most of them used the study of Huang Lao, and when the country was at its peak, it was Confucianism and Confucianism, after all, Confucianism occupied a dominant position, however, the style of emphasizing literature and light martial arts became more and more prosperous, starting from the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, China was not as good as the generation, and there was indeed a mistake of Confucianism. ”

Zhu Jie glanced at Li Yan appreciatively, and then said: "So, you must know that morality cannot be without, but it cannot become a constraint on our progress, now I am in the position, this throne is not the most important, Confucianism is not the most important, Huang Lao, Buddhism is not the most important, the most important thing is that the thousands of Han people in China cannot be bullied by any foreign race, only this one is more important than heaven and earth, and the interests of the people of the Ming Dynasty are more important than everything!" For the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the Han people who will never be humiliated, there is only this way, first beat others down and step on other people's corpses to stand at the top! Xianzhi, you still can't see it thoroughly, wait for you to take a trip to the West, look at the weak outside, and appreciate it for yourself, you will understand that this world is like this, the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, sail against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat! ”

Shi Kefa said angrily: "Your Majesty, no matter who is right or wrong, since the emperor said that this matter was handed over to the minister, the minister will be full of liver and brains, and he must find out what he wants!" If you don't make a name for yourself, you'll never return to Daming! ”

"Good!"

Zhu Jie shouted: "With your words, I will rest assured, Xianzhi, a month later, I will personally go to the suburbs to see you off!" I am waiting for the day when you will return with a full load! ”
