Chapter 513: The Rise of Confucianism
Xu Pu was helpless, so he had to say that he wanted to think about it, and then slipped away.
Cao Nai and Yang Shan also got up to say goodbye, and Zhang Yi personally sent people out of the public room, and then went straight to the imperial study with Sun Changhai's recital.
He doesn't care about dead or not dead now, Xu Pu is right, they are just a group of rotten Confucians, and keeping these people will only have a negative effect on the development of Daming.
Times have changed, and now it is the world of the Academy of Sciences, and it will be the same in the future, as for those Confucian scholars who adhere to the traditional classics......
Forget it, destroy it, no matter!
Unexpectedly, Zhu Qizhen did not show anger and murderous intent after reading the recital, but threw it aside lightly.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's ......"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "The Ministry of Rites has begun to arrange a ...... What's coming from? β
"Oh, it's the Wa Kingdom Guan Bai and Ichijo Liang."
"Whatever you want him, arrange for him to meet him!"
"Obey the order!"
Zhang Yi saluted, then hesitated a little, and said: "About the performance of Sun Changhai, a foreigner......
Zhu Qizhen asked again: "I heard that the people from Donglin Academy are here?" β
"It's all here, and there are about a thousand of them."
"Hmm!"
Zhu Qizhen pondered for a moment, and then said: "The great Confucian who lectured, called Sun Changhe, is Sun Changhai's relative, right?" β
"Exactly, the two are brothers."
"You go and inform the Hanlin Academy, organize a lecture, and then I will listen to it myself."
Zhang Yi was very puzzled, the emperor didn't like the Hanlin Academy, and he didn't like to listen to them talk about the Four Books and Five Classics, what's going on today?
Could it be that more and more students are joining Donglin Academy and are ready to compromise?
"Remember to call that Sun Changhe as well, didn't this person come to Beijing to promote Confucianism, I gave him this opportunity."
Zhang Yi was completely stunned, if the emperor didn't say a word, he ordered all these people to be cut down, but it would be easy to accept.
But now this attitude shouldn't be......
You must know that not long ago, the emperor just experienced a coup d'Γ©tat, and he hated the Jiangnan Shi clan to the core, killing people's heads and bleeding like a river, why did he suddenly change his temper?
"What, what's the problem?"
"This, this...... Minister, let's do it! β
Zhang Yi bowed and said secretly in his heart, what do you love, I don't guess, I'm tired!
The next day, the news suddenly came out from the Hanlin Academy, and the banquet was held three days later, teaching the scriptures and teachings, and specifically stating that the emperor would be present in person.
As soon as this news came out, the Confucian students of the entire Beijing Division were running to tell each other, and they were all excited and tearful.
In recent years, the emperor has become more and more partial to the Academy of Sciences, and has long stopped treating the Hanlin Academy as a thing.
It's not easy to have a good time, because being idle means not being taken seriously, and to put it more bluntly, you are losing the opportunity to be in the center of power.
I have been studying hard for more than ten years, why?
Isn't that just for that privilege?
If the privilege is gone, the sky will fall, the etiquette will collapse, and the country will not be a country!
In order to safeguard their own interests and regain the lost privileges, they can only sigh by remembering the ancients, what is not as good as the past, and imagine the world of great rule during the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors at every turn, and so on.
Some people will also say some excessive things in private, of course, the emperor can't say bad things, then it can only be a traitor......
However, this can't be said too much, because ...... Commit taboos!
Today's news has given everyone the dawn of victory again.
Needless to say, the Jiangsu Hall where Sun Changhe stayed was already in full swing.
This person is known as a great Confucian in Jiangnan, although he is only a lifter, it is said that he no longer participated in the imperial examination very early, but devoted himself to the study of the Four Books and Five Classics, and his spirit has been admired by countless people.
This time, the emperor asked Sun Changhe to participate in the lecture by name, for the students of Donglin Academy, it is like surviving the last darkness before dawn, and the next will be infinite light!
Even many officials in Beijing came to visit in person, and their hearts were overflowing.
Wang Jing, a bachelor of Hanlin Chamberlain, was ordered to send an invitation and said: "Mr. is talented, even the emperor admires it, but unfortunately, in recent years, the emperor has listened to and believed partially, and plunged into the Academy of Sciences' strange skills and ingenuity. β
Sun Changhe did not rush to answer, but smiled and looked unfathomable.
Definitely going to go, it's just ......
What is our identity?
If you send out an invitation and I agree immediately, won't it seem cheap?
"The old man has no intention of asking about secular things, and now he has devoted himself to reading the scriptures and historical classics, and this time he entered Beijing, he also discussed Confucianism with his classmates and friends back then, nothing more, and nothing else."
"Sir!"
Xia Shaopeng, Cen Guangyao, Wei Hao and other disciples knelt on the ground, already with tears in their eyes.
"The world's etiquette and music are broken, if Mr. doesn't go out of the mountain, what will happen to the people?"
Sun Changhe listened, sighed, and said: "The old man has no merit and fame, and it is inconvenient to ask about the affairs of the court, but now he is invited by the Holy Grace, which is really a dilemma, alas, ......"
Wang Jing hurriedly said: "I hope that Mr. will not refuse!" β
After Sun Changhe sighed again, he said to his disciples: "I rule the world with benevolence and filial piety, but now I am morally degenerate, people's hearts are not ancient, and it is not a sign of prosperity!" If the old man can take this opportunity to make a statement to the emperor, he will be worthy of the teachings of the saint. Wang Hanlin, please rest assured, the old man will go tomorrow! β
"The students are waiting for Mr.
Wang Jing's task was completed, and he naturally left happily.
The students of Donglin Academy were also overjoyed, if Mr. could show his face in front of the emperor, Confucianism would be able to rise again.
After so much hibernation, I finally came out!
"Mr. thinks of the common people, and the students admire it."
"Sir, righteousness!"
"That's it!"
Sun Changhe waved his hand and said, "There shouldn't be too many people going to lecture tomorrow, so let's do it, Xia Shaopeng, Cen Guangyao, Wei Hao, the three of you have been following the old man for the longest time, and when the time comes, you will follow the old man, and the others will not follow in." β
Xia Shaopeng and the three of them hurriedly kowtowed and thanked them, but they have to face the saint tomorrow!
Such an honor, ordinary people don't even dare to think about it.
The three of them are already secretly thinking in their hearts, if they have the opportunity to perform tomorrow and be favored by the emperor, won't the glory and wealth of this life come!
Others only have envy in their eyes, if you talk about qualifications, it is indeed Xia Shaopeng who has the most seniority, and he has been by his side since the establishment of Donglin Academy.
However, as long as traditional Confucianism can make a comeback, there is hope for all.
