Chapter 404: Shattering the Confucian Worldview! Start thinking about natural philosophy!

Sun Qifeng had to be instigated.

Because no matter how cowardly, he will be the next one to be killed by thunder.

What's more, the facts in front of me have proved that this heavenly thunder is really loyal and treacherous, and it seems that as long as people are put on iron chains and iron needles, they will easily attract heavenly thunder, and then be cracked to death.

Therefore, Sun Qifeng can only admit this fact for now.

This is just a matter of science masters, and there is nothing to be done.

To be reasonable, Sun Qifeng was very reluctant to admit this fact in his heart, but he had to admit it now!

And after Sun Qifeng said this, the Confucian scholars present because of Li Jin'an's plea all looked at him in shock.

They didn't expect that Sun Qifeng, a great Confucian of science, would first admit that thunder is a natural phenomenon and not something that is dominated by gods and can distinguish between loyalty and treachery.

"You talk nonsense! Obviously, it was because Li Jin'an and Lu Shanji themselves were hypocrites that they were hit by thunder and lightning! ”

"That's right! Mr. Xia Feng, you haven't tried, how can you come to such a conclusion! ”

"Mr. Xia Feng, I didn't expect you to be such a greedy person who is afraid of death, because you are afraid of being struck by lightning, you would say such a thing against your will."

……

Some Confucian scholars still didn't want to believe what Sun Qifeng said, so they continued to refute Sun Qifeng.

Sun Qifeng also continued to answer without doubt: "But this is the truth! It's a fact that can't be changed! If you don't want to believe it, try again! ”

After Sun Qifeng said this, Wei Zhongxian looked at the many Confucian scholars present who were open to Sun Qifeng: "Who wants to try it again?" ”

Many Confucian scholars consciously took a step back, as if by taking a step back, they would be able to hide themselves in the shadows without being discovered.

However, there were really a few brave Confucian scholars who stood up and said, "Just try!" ”

Wei Zhongxian here, after seeing the apocalypse and nodding, let people continue to put iron chains and iron needles on these Confucian students, and then led these Confucian scholars to the open space.

As a result, these Confucian scholars were hit by lightning one after another.

The other Confucian scholars were shocked again when they saw this, and they didn't dare to try again.

Of course, what happened at this time also made the Confucian scholars extremely shocked.

The worldview of many Confucian scholars has been shaken, and it can even be said that it has completely collapsed!

Some of them are painful because of this, some of them are enlightened because of this, and some of them have a strong desire for knowledge.

"Mr. Xia Feng is right, this is the truth! Iron-clad fact, this thunder and lightning do not distinguish between loyalty and treachery! It turned out to be nothing more than a natural phenomenon that could not distinguish between right and wrong. ”

didn't come to intercede for Li Jin'an, but just followed Fang Yizhi, a scholar of the Fushe who came to Daming Gate to see the excitement, and stood up and said a word at this time.

"Yes, science is about preserving heavenly principles and destroying human desires, and now it seems that this heavenly principle has no likes and dislikes, and everything is just a natural knowledge that actually exists."

Wen Tiren, a Confucian minister who came here at the same time, followed and said: "I have decided to change to practical learning in the future, and everything starts from facts, and reads the study of Xilin, seeking truth from facts!" ”

"It seems that thunder and lightning may really just be a kind of electricity generated by the movement of the clouds you are talking about! It is not the gods who are in charge. But why does this cloud have electricity, and it is divided into yin and yang? ”

The Apocalypse was also greatly shocked by what happened at that time, and fell into deep thought.

As a technophile who likes to be more serious and like to pursue the objective laws of nature, Apocalypse has a strong sense of concentration, and as long as he falls into it, it is difficult to come out again.

Therefore, although Zhang Gui said it with his own understanding on the side, Tianqi did not reply much.

And Zhang Gui didn't care, only after this, he consciously left Xiyuan and returned home.

A few days after returning to the house, Zhang Gui heard from Liu Zongmin that officials Wen Tiren and Shizi Fang Yizhi came to ask for a meeting.

Zhang Gui, as a traverser who often reads Ming Dynasty online texts in later generations, is no stranger to Wen Tiren and Fang Yizhi, so he is busy meeting these people.

However, what Zhang Gui didn't expect was that the Confucian scholars who came to see him, not only Wen Tiren and Fang Yizhi, but a large group of people, filled the entire hall after they came in, and it was so crowded that they couldn't even insert a needle, so that many young scholars could only stand, and even stood in front of the steps, tilting their necks and looking into the core.

Zhang Gui didn't expect that so many Confucian scholars would come to see him this time, so he asked with a smile: "You came to see this master, what is the matter?" ”

Fang Yizhi replied first: "The lightning strike that happened outside the Daming Gate, I guess you know about it, Taishi. ”

Zhang Gui nodded.

Fang Yizhi continued: "This lightning strike, people have to believe that this thunder and lightning is not a magic of the Immortal Master, but a phenomenon that naturally exists between heaven and earth, in Xilin's words, that is, to be honest, since the thunder and lightning are not the Immortal Palm, is there no so-called Mandate of Heaven?" ”

Then, Fang Yizhi bowed to Zhang Gui: "I heard that the real learning of the uncle of the country is a great achievement, not only Mr. Xuan Hu (Xu Guangqi), but also His Majesty also said that the uncle of the country is the most practical and learns the principles of nature, so the student specially asks the uncle of the country for advice!" ”

But after Fang Yizhi asked such a question, the bureaucrats and scholars present were all shocked, and the other party stared at Yizhi.

Because Fang Yizhi's question was too bold, he actually deduced that there was no destiny from the fact that the thunder and lightning were not immortal masters!

But you must know that in a society with an absolute monarchy, the source of the legal system of imperial power is "divine authority of the monarch", after all, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven and is ordered by Heaven.

And because Fang Yizhi's question was too sensitive and too straightforward, everyone also looked at Zhang Gui, wanting to know how Zhang Gui should answer.

Zhang Gui didn't expect this Fang Yizhi to come up with such a tricky question for himself as soon as he came up.

"Whether there is a so-called mandate of heaven, you have to study it thoroughly to be clear, and before you study it thoroughly, no one can say for sure, but it is certain that if there is really a heavenly emperor and heavenly god, then these heavenly emperors and heavenly gods look at us people, I am afraid that it is a little like we are looking at ants, many times, we are too lazy to intervene in the world of ants, and we don't ask whether it is right or wrong."

Zhang Gui replied.

Fang Yizhi nodded after hearing this: "Then to put it this way, even if there is a mandate of heaven, the mandate of heaven will not ask us about our suffering, and may even bring us disasters?" ”

"High in the Sky"

Zhang Gui took out the "Encyclopedia of the Emperor Ming" written by Tianqi himself and handed it to Fang Yizhi: "This is the "Encyclopedia of the Emperor Ming" compiled by His Majesty, which states that many things have been set as objective and true laws for His Majesty, which is a collection of practical learning, you can take it and read it carefully." Others can go to the newly built library to read, with the household ticket can enter, according to the rules, in addition to the Yi people and dogs, Han people regardless of the government and the people can go in to borrow! ”

"Yes!"

Fang Yizhi and others focused their attention on this "Encyclopedia of the Emperor and Ming".

And then, many people went to the library to read the book.

For a time, many Han Chinese readers were shocked by reading this book.

"Bacteria? Tiny life forms that we can't see with a vision but can see with a microscope? ”

"The human body is about 60 to 70 percent water, how does this come about?"

"It's ridiculous! How can the moon also have land, how can it be so big, obviously the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival is only as big as a silver plate! I'll have to buy a telescope to see the celestial bodies. ”
